Chapter three hundred and forty first training camp
The test was over for the Keno Expeditionary Force, but for Yang Meng and the Blue Flag Army, it had just begun.
The battle of Mengla is considered a war. In addition to the topic of scale, it also has a system issue. The Yang family is not a bandit, and shooting a shot to change the place is not what the Yang family should do.
Behind you is home, defending to the death is what Yang Meng and the Lanqi Army should do. War is a system, and the army is also a system. A battle to test strength only test the combat power and training of the new army. What we need to test is medical care, logistics and the recovery ability of the army.
If you are injured and do not die, there is no shortage of food and ammunition on the front line. The broken army can quickly restore combat effectiveness, which is an indispensable part of the army and war system.
According to actual combat tests, there were only some minor problems with the combat effectiveness and training methods of the new army, but the medical treatment resulted in big trouble. The wounded and the soldiers who died were all carried down. After dozens of miles back to Mengla, nearly a hundred people who should not have died!
There is no other reason, there is only one thing that causes excessive blood loss. Although Baiyao has miraculous effects on treating injuries, some injuries are powerless and cannot stop bleeding. Even if you bury a person with Baiyao, you will die.
It took dozens of miles, and a normal person to run away. One hour was enough for the wounded, this one hour was enough!
The war was too tragic. After the tense war, the military doctors who followed the army were also frightened. Apart from spreading white medicine, they forgot everything. They simply tied and stopped bleeding. If they were used, at least dozens of people would be killed.
The dozens of military doctors who followed the army should be rectified on the spot, but Yang Meng did not do this. The more problems arising out of this test, the better. These dozens of military doctors are ready-made negative examples, and sending them back to the medical museum is more effective. With this lesson, the purpose of the test is to not commit it again next time.
There are enough people who die on this day. Kill dozens more and dozens less. Remember to improve after learning the lessons is the most important thing to do.
Without a stretcher, the secondary damage caused by long-distance wounds is also shocking. Gunshot wounds often carry bone contusions, and the secondary damage caused by broken bones is also fatal. Many wounded people who seem to be in good spirits become corpses after returning, most of which are due to secondary damage.
The next treatment is also a test of the achievements of the medical museum. Hundreds of military doctors who followed the army, plus the clinics belonging to the Blue Flag Army, are the reliances for many people to climb through the line of life and death.
This group of wounded people has also become the first batch of clinical use and medical museums to test the drug. This is not a cruel thing. No matter where the gunshot wound is, it is a fatal injury in this era, especially the climate in Mengla, which is also a factor that increases the death of the wounded. Hot flashes mean infection and injury to the toes, which may be fatal injuries here.
There is still a lot of hope of survival when testing medicines, and the chance of death is not small. Summarizing medical experience is just beginning.
War is also a huge test for logistics, repairing damaged firearms and replenishing guns and ammunition, so that the combat effectiveness of the army will not be weakened.
Food and drinking water are also big problems. Eating enough to drink is also an important factor in ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. After a battle, the casualties and injured people must be handled by logistics. The burials that should be buried, the pension that should be paid, the rehabilitation of disabled people and the arrangement of food for them are all logistics responsibilities.
War often means a large number of people die, and more people die, and what follows is epidemics and plagues, which are no less threat than war. A major epidemic like itchy is much more terrifying than war.
Epidemic prevention is a common task of the medical system and the logistics system. Cooperating epidemic prevention is also a running-in process between these two systems.
The army is the most important between the three. Medical and logistics are both for the military. Another task of logistics, supplementing the troops, also needs to be tempered.
In this battle, more than 600 people were killed and more than 400 people were injured. The first battalion of troops was reduced by half. Whether it could quickly recover its combat effectiveness was also something that Yang Meng had to consider.
In the era of great change, it is normal for people to die. The army is more cruel than the times. It is quiet and quiet. After burying the body alive, it has to continue fighting. Those who survive are even more painful. Adapting to killing and getting used to killing is considered an inhumane thing.
With the temporary surge of qi and blood, most people can fight a few games, but after struggling among the dead for many years, they need to adapt. The so-called iron blood is nothing more than destroying one's own human nature, so Yang Meng had the idea of establishing a professional army.
To put it bluntly, establishing an army is for killing. The Iron Army is needed, and the Benevolent and Righteous Army does not need this title.
To replenish two thousand people in one battalion, and to fight again tomorrow, it will be the order Yang Meng gave to Ma Qinghu.
After this battle, more than half of the expeditionary army suffered casualties. Shan Monkey counted the number of people who fell from the expeditionary army, about 800. Yang Meng was still able to accept this result.
One thousand vs. Eight hundred, the new army vs. veterans. Although this test was quite serious, it was a victory.
The more people died, one was due to medical reasons, and the second was the last bullet from the Expeditionary Force, which was shot at close range, and the accuracy was not to mention. In the round of shooting before close combat, more than 200 people fell from the Blue Flag Army.
The Blue Flag Army still had the advantage in shooting from a long distance. The small piece of copper armor on its chest also saved hundreds of lives. Moreover, this piece of copper armor also saved many lives in hand-to-hand combat. If the bayonet cannot be penetrated, it is a chance to live.
In this battle, the new army was able to tie the elite soldiers under Jino. The bronze armor originally designed by Yang Meng also played a significant role. Otherwise, it would be unpredictable whether the Blue Flag Army would collapse after most of the casualties.
Two thousand people fell and eight hundred, Jino should not take the initiative. Keeping the camp should be his choice. This is also a good opportunity for Yang Meng to train troops. Attack the Expeditionary Army's barracks, let the soldiers of the Blue Flag Army slowly get familiar with the battlefield. It is Yang Meng's purpose.
After knowing the skills of the new army, the next thing to do is to be familiar with the war, let the new army be familiar with the sound of gunfire and death. The real war is about to begin.
The Blue Flag Army is not the most elite unit in Yunnan. The most elite unit is the group of troops equipped with Hall after-installing guns, but the so-called elite troops are just better physical strength and younger. The Blue Flag Army is enough to represent the combat power of the new army.
After integrating the crippled battalion of troops for half a day, they will fight again tomorrow morning. Yang Meng's order puts great pressure on Ma Qinghu. In this battle, Ma Qinghu was praised by Yang Meng, but only Ma Qinghu knew what the specific situation was.
Most of the living people have wet crotch. In this battle, not only the soldiers were frightened, but also the leader Ma Qinghu, who is the leader. His crotch is still cold. He listened to bullets whizzing through his ears, and watched the living people fall to the ground. The more they fight, the more they are afraid, only you know whether their pants are wet. Anyway, after the battle, a battalion of troops has an unpleasant smell.
Seeing a person fall down is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is hand-to-hand combat. With one knife, the head flew away. This is better. Just straight up and down, and the belly is broken with one knife. The scene is that the person who is attacking is vomiting.
When the battle was just over, people were scared. Now they recovered. Most of them spit out their bile and cried bitterly. Most of them still looked blank. There were only a hundred people who could talk about the war with a smile.
The order is an order, not to mention that it was the order issued by the Third Master himself. Ma Qinghu did not hesitate to summon the battalion of troops, and from the managers, he received more than a thousand people from Wuzhuang to supplement the troops. After a quick placement, he dispersed the new group of troops.
For this group of people, sleeping now is the best choice.
The powerful horn of the Niuke is the horn of the new army. It set off before dawn. When the sun was rising, Ma Qinghu's battalion of soldiers was already standing in front of the Keno Expeditionary Force's barracks.
The short comrades advance, the trombone retreats, and the long and short comrades stand in place. The order is so simple that it is outrageous. After two short comrades, the blue flag army pressed over to Keno's military camp.
In the test artillery and artillery battle, Keno set up four artillery pieces in the military camp, which was also considered to be a masterpiece. Four to ten. Although Keno's four artillery pieces were wiped out, it also destroyed the seven artillery pieces of the Blue Flag Army.
"Jack, my old friend, we are in trouble! And it's still a big trouble!
Half of these two thousand men were the ones who participated in the war yesterday, and the other half were new recruits. Lord Yang had sufficient troops and was determined to train troops. Our place has become his training ground."
He smiled bitterly. Although Keno was angry, going out to fight was not his choice. The Blue Flag Army was not weak. One thousand two hundred people fought against two thousand people. Another field battle was not far from the annihilation of the entire army.
"Wait for reinforcements..."
Keno's analysis was confirmed by the actions of the Blue Flag Army, and Old Jack was also helpless. He could not dominate the choices of the senior management. The final choice still needs to be verified through war.
At a distance of 200 steps and 300 meters, Ma Qinghu stopped his army and began to prepare for shooting. This was what Yang Meng asked. Within 300 meters, even if he stood on the wall, the power of the musket became dispensable. It was still possible to hurt people, but killing people depends on luck.
This time, Ma Qinghu not only brought two thousand people, but also five hundred strong men brought from Wuzhuang. In addition to carrying stretchers, these people also built a defensive earth wall for the Blue Flag Army.
Jino will not fight casually. Yang Meng can be sure that the period before reinforcements arrive is the time for the Blue Flag Army to train troops.
Shooting, testing the range of both sides. Ma Qinghu waved his hand, and two thousand men lined up in line, and headed towards Keno's military camp, and began shooting training.
It is impossible not to fight back. Although the distance between 300 meters and the bullet is not very lethal, letting the opponent's bullet whistle on the heads of his soldiers will also be devastating to morale.
Helpless Jino was driven to the shelves and became a sparring trainer for the Blue Flag Army.
In the morning, he was shooting and building walls. When he saw the earthen wall, Keno was also angry. The army on the opposite side did this to insult the word "soldier", but this is definitely a good way to train troops.
When he went out to destroy the opponent's earth wall, Keno could only think about it. He dug a tunnel and blew up the earth wall. He was afraid that these people would learn new tactics. But if he continued to consume this, the Keno Expeditionary Force would not be able to stand it!
Jino, who could not bear it, gave up shooting and allowed the Blue Flag Army's bullets to attack the earth wall. However, in this way, there was no interaction. Yang Meng also thought about the trick of forcing Jino to be a sparring exercise. As long as Jino did not show up, someone would bombard their earth wall.
The seven lost artillery were replenished in half a day. The temporary earthen wall could not block the power of the shells. If the earthen wall was bombarded like this, the earthen wall could not last for two or three days. The earthen wall arrived and lost its reliance. It was another field battle. Helpless Jino could only lead his army to the earthen wall again.
Retreat without military orders is not possible; ignore it, the entire army is wiped out; fight on the wall, just helping the Blue Flag Army train; but after weighing the pros and cons, Keno still chose to be a training partner for the Blue Flag Army.
There are also casualties in the training. Both sides have to pay for the casualties of more than ten or twenty people a day.
Frustrated, angry, helpless, compromised, one day or two until more than twenty days later, the Keno Expeditionary Force had less than 800 people left, and the ammunition was not enough. These days, Keno was not idle either. He looked at and checked one by one, and he also roughly estimated the number of the Blue Flag Army, about 10,000 people.
"Jack, when will our reinforcements arrive? If there are no reinforcements, we can only retreat! If we continue to fight, the Keno Expeditionary Force will be wiped out!"
"Oh... it's soon! But there are not many people..."
After stabbing the hornet's nest, Old Jack was also full of depression, but now that things have come, the top management has made a decision, and it is not something he can dominate the next one. (To be continued...)
