President Meng looked at the map, and compared the route of the estimated reinforcements of the Tsarist Russian army sent by the General Staff and the possible deployment situation after arriving at the rescue zone, President Meng frowned."
It's very difficult, our two divisions go up and deal with more than 50,000 Tsarist Russian troops, it's still very difficult, and we still have to fight for time, if we don't arrive in Turukhansk before the Tsarist army to replace the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, something big will happen," President Meng said to Princess Katrina Kaf.Princess Katrina Kafu worried: "Yes, fortunately, Tsarist Russia has no money, otherwise, if they really send more than 500,000 troops, even if we transfer twenty-six infantry divisions, we may not be able to fight." ”President Meng said gloomily: "Are you blaming me in your heart, why didn't you listen to you at the beginning, why did you do it to the Russians as soon as you came up" Princess Katrina Kafu shook her head and said: "Don't get me wrong, president, why do I think so much, the president has already explained it to me." ”President Meng sighed and said: "Relying on the military to drive industry, relying on industry to drive the economy of the entire country, this is only one aspect, the most important thing is that if we don't fear the polar bear above our heads, we will not be able to do anything You think about it, whether we want to unify North Korea, or unify the whole of China, or use troops against South Asia, there is a polar bear lying on the head, and it can slap us at any time, our main forces must be contained in the north, and if Tsarist Russia is subdued, there will be no longer this problem, twenty-six divisions, It was enough for a long time. ”Princess Katrina Kaaf shook her head and said: "That's the situation of winning the battle in Tsarist Russia, President, now it seems that twenty-six divisions are not necessarily enough, do you still have to recruit soldiers" "Don't increase troops for the time being, now it depends on how useful the experience we have accumulated in army training and combat in the past few years, and it's time for the Chinese army to see the real chapter, the Tsarist Russian Army is our first alchemy stone." ”President Meng stood up, pushed open the window, and looked at the beautiful Lake Baikal outside the window, the endless Baikal Lake was so beautiful, and President Meng's eyes were full of perseverance.The eyes are resolute enough, in fact, President Meng's brain is now a mess, he often has this feeling, his special mother is playing big, a sling, you deserve to be such a huge boss in China, do you have the ability to be this boss Many times, President Meng even wants to go home to find his mother.I even feel like a complete idiot, with an empty mind and no shit.It's not as good as a dog compared to a good life, the pressure of being an imperial president is simply too great, and President Meng is willing to live a life of rough tea and light food for ordinary people, which is true.President Meng had a hard time, Tsar Alexander II's life was not much better than President Moe, the threat of war from China, for Tsar Alexander II, it was like a sudden nightmare, it was really terrible When did China rise, Alexander II didn't notice it, anyway, all of a sudden, the Vladivostok region was lost, the Far East was lost, then Baikal was gone, and then the Chinese army directly stretched out its hand to the whole of Siberia.Being able to send an army of more than 50,000 people to fight in Siberia is already the limit that the Tsarist Russian treasury can support now, and the army is sent, the supply will definitely not be able to keep up, according to Alexander II's vision, this huge army will definitely kill many people, and if it reaches 20,000 or 30,000 people, the supply should be able to barely cope.The soldiers of Tsarist Russia, if they knew that their tsar thought so, did not know how to feel.President Meng is understanding Tsarist Russia, and Tsar Alexander II is also actively understanding President Hua Guo and President Meng, as well as the Chinese army, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the Chinese army and the Russian army.President Meng and Alexander II are perhaps the two people in the world who are most eager to know the outcome of the war between China and Russia.Unlike the gradual abolition of serfdom in Western Europe, perhaps under great pressure from the aristocracy, Russia was the polar opposite, in the 1718th century, serfs were deprived of all rights, and they were completely controlled by the landowners.The landowners of Russia were obliged to collect taxes and recruit soldiers for the army.Therefore, the burden of military service was placed on the serfs.At the same time, in order to facilitate the control of such an army, the Russian ruling class often preferred to implement the Prussian military system.The disadvantage of this system is that it greatly restricts the subjective initiative of officers and soldiers, which was already a backward system during the Napoleonic Wars.It would be frustrating to expect the Russian soldiers to show the cleverness of the French and the sanity of the Germans when serving as outposts or in skirmishers.What the Russian soldier needs is an order, a clear and unambiguous order, and if he does not receive an order, then he may not retreat, but he will not advance, and he does not know how to act.In the war against France in 1805-1807, the tactical system was backward and the result was a complete defeat.After the war, some of Suvorov's style of play began to be restored, as well as to learn Napoleon's new tactics, but the influence of the old line tactical ideas was still seriously present.The Infantry Service Regulations of 1811 were such a mixture, requiring infantry units to learn combat maneuvers in column formation, while emphasizing aiming and shooting, and stipulating that each company should have good marksmen.These regulations reflect progressive elements, but the basic tendency of the regulations is to be confined to playground drills and to extremely complex showmanship.At the beginning of the war in 1812, the former Suvorov general Bagration for the Second Army prepared a combat instruction for infantry officers, which went further than the 1811 regulations, which insisted that soldiers should carry out aimed shooting, that the first-line shooters should form a skirmish, and that the instructor also talked about column attacks and demanded that the opportunity to take advantage of the favorable moment should be actively engaged in white-knuckle combat.Jiaofan also pointed out that in the training of troops, we should not engage in those flashy moves.But this idea does not dominate in the whole army.After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1812, the army returned to the old way of training.Barclay de Tolly was concerned about the decline in the quality of the Russian army, writing in 1810: "Compared with the brave and strong army of the past, our regiment is now nothing more than a mass of soldiers distinguished by green coats, who are unable to adapt to the rigors of war."
Endless wars have worn away their traditional virtues of valor.And their patriotism, like their strength, began to become weaker and weaker in this tragic and meaningless war. ”After the Napoleonic Wars ended, Napoleon on the island of St.
Helena agreed: "The Russian soldiers of Austerlitz would never have lost the Battle of Borodino." ”In the end, no matter what kind of formation was formed on the battlefield, it could not do without the cover of light infantry.However, during the Napoleonic Wars, there was a paucity of skirmish tactics in official training manuals.It was not until after 1818 that the training manuals began to officially appear about skirmishers, and the corps training regulations recommended that the skirmish line should be 300 paces away from the infantry battalion.Until then, each regiment had relied on its own unofficial regulations governing the placement of skirmishers.The Russian Army's operational thinking under Nicholas I was largely stuck in the Napoleonic Wars, believing that one or two decisive battles could determine the outcome of the war, has long been outdated.Tactical training is also lagging behind.In order to train the army into a tool of blind obedience to the Tsar, the infantry regulations of the 183148 years were full of formalism, which prescribed that training focus on dense formations and paces, emphasizing strict and complex mechanical maneuvers and making no mention of tactical maneuvers.The gun should be polished, but it is not required to shoot accurately, everything is for review and not actual combat.As a result of the development of firearms, European armies in the 19th century had gradually adopted new skirmish battle formations, while Russia was still insisting on the outdated dense column formations, resulting in heavy casualties in wartime.Commenting on the Russian army in the Crimean War, Engels pointed out: "Such an excellent army, with many veterans who have served for 25 years, is so clumsy and so incapable of spreading out formations and fighting in small units that its officers can only make this clumsy crowd rush at the enemy."
All ideas of tactical maneuver were abandoned; Forward, forward, forward, that's all that can be done.This dense crowd was, of course, the most ideal target for artillery fire due to its very dense intensity.At the same time, he summed up the Russian army in this way: "The main part of their army consisted of a large number of semi-savage and therefore clumsy infantry and a large number of equally semi-barbaric irregular hussar Cossacks.In decisive battles, in big battles, the Russian army has always fought with large groups of troops.Suvorov understood this necessity when he attacked Ismaila and Ochakov.The lack of movement of this army was partly compensated for by the irregular cavalry, which maneuvered around it from all sides, thus concealing all its movements.But it is precisely because of the large number and inflexibility of the Russian army that it is best suited to form the core, the main pillar and the backbone of the coalition army, which has always been slightly slower to act than the national army.The Russians did this with great merit in 1813 and 1814, and during these years there was hardly a single battle deployment in which the Russian army did not take a dense column, which greatly outnumbered all other armies in depth and density. ”The lessons of the defeat in the Crimean War forced the Russian ruling class to learn from the capitalist countries of the West.t1706231537:
