Chapter 173: What makes an elite soldier?
Since the defenders added the spear formation to the phalanx, the attackers were defeated more than a dozen times before finally shaking the phalanx.
Although breaking the formation still failed, the team leaders cheered. After dozens of consecutive defeats, it was very difficult to see a glimmer of victory.
As excited as the squad leaders was Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi saw that the Phalanx was very sharp, and combined with the information he received in his previous life, he took it for granted that the Phalanx was invincible.
This kind of cognitive disorder caused by knowledge is called "knowledge barrier" in Buddhism, or "knowledge barrier".
The local warriors almost broke through the phalanx, which undoubtedly broke Li Mengxi's blind superstition that the phalanx was unbreakable.
Li Mengxi couldn't help but go down too. He also wanted to participate in the process of improving tactics.
At this time, off the field, more than a dozen team captains were discussing the tactics of rushing into the formation, and no one noticed when Li Mengxi came.
"We have to get their guns away before we can charge. Those in front should not just rush in. Three or two people can't get in at all. We have to help those behind withstand the guns, and those behind can rush in to break the formation."
Someone summed up the key.
"Actually, the key point is that the reason why it is difficult to break the formation is that the people rushing into the formation are afraid of being poked by spears, so they hesitate to move forward and are not fierce enough. This is not possible. We have already charged in front of the spear formation, and there are spear points above, below, left and right.
He is afraid of guns and has difficulty avoiding them.
Since charging into the formation means you will die on both sides, what will happen if you are stabbed by a gun? Even if you die, grab his gun and prevent him from withdrawing it. If you fight bravely, there is no gun formation that cannot be broken."
Everyone listened to the sound, followed the sound, and then lowered their heads to look at Li Mengxi.
A senior officer scratched his ear and looked at Li Mengxi for a while. "The military advisor is saying that when I break the formation, I have to take my life seriously. Even if I am stabbed to death, even if the ball is dead, I still have to grab the opponent's gun."
Let go, don't let the other side get so proud! If I grab the gun, the brothers behind will be less likely to be poked by the gun, and they can rush to the front of the formation, is that what you mean?"
This young man's understanding is very good. This is exactly what Li Mengxi meant.
Li Mengxi watched for a long time. The biggest problem exposed by the village warriors was not their tactical ability, but their low will to fight.
It's just a gun barrel, not a real gun. They dare not charge after being poked twice.
It is conceivable that if they face the bright tip of the spear, their performance will be even worse.
The second most serious problem was that the local warriors lacked team awareness and rushed into battle dozens of times. Li Mengxi did not see anyone blocking the gun for others.
It seems that they are charging together, just because of the constraints of the formation, they are just charging at a point together, but in fact they are fighting separately.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Li Mengxi smiled, nodded, and continued, "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! The more you fear death, the sooner you will die. You are all in the army, and you should advance and retreat as one..."
"That's almost meaningless." The unknown commander waved his hand to signal Li Mengxi to stop talking, "I understand what the military advisor means, but why should I be stabbed to death and let the bastards behind me break the formation and lead the army?
What?"
Wuming Shichang didn't give Li Mengxi any face and questioned him.
Li Mengxi was stunned by the unknown question. Li Mengxi thought it was a very simple matter, and he just thought about it for Pao Ze. He didn't expect Xiang Yong to reject such rhetoric so much.
Li Mengxi put himself in his shoes and thought about it. He thought that if he were a shield soldier who broke the formation, he would not have any military pay, not enough food, and not even a single armor on his body.
Although breaking the formation is the first step, all fools know that rushing to the front will definitely lead to death.
So I want to get military honors, but I still don’t want to die, so what should I do? Then deliberately rush a step slower, and wait timidly for others to kill me first. If the gun pokes others, it will not hit myself. Wait for others to take the lead.
If you rush away and then rush forward, doesn't this confuse military merit?
But if you think so, others will think so too.
With such a mentality, it is too demanding to ask him to have such a consciousness and to hold on to the gun to prevent the enemy from pulling it out even if the gun is stuck in his body, so as to create an opportunity for Pao Ze to fight back.
At this moment, Li Mengxi suddenly realized that even though he had a gun stuck in his stomach, he still held on to the gun tightly to prevent the enemy's gun from hurting other comrades. Such a steely will to fight could only be continued by blocking the machine gun with his body in the Battle of Shangganling.
Light can only be found in steel warriors of this type.
In his previous life, the army that Li Mengxi knew the most was the mighty division that was tempered with blood and sacrifice and was known as the world's best army.
If the army can do it, Li Mengxi naturally believes that the army's fighting will is so strong.
Because he knew that someone could block the flames of a machine gun with his flesh and blood, Li Mengxi thought that it was natural to use his flesh and blood to hold on to a cold weapon.
Soldiers are of course brave and fearless, and of course they risk life and death for the sake of victory and to protect their comrades.
However, what Li Mengxi took for granted was that in the long span of time since the birth of mankind, only one army had reached such a height.
At this moment, thinking about all these things, Li Mengxi felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
He also wanted to understand one thing.
I once saw this argument in my previous life, saying that the soldiers of the Chinese army who had gone through the long march, armed with cold weapons, could sweep away all the elite soldiers of the cold weapon era.
In his previous life, Li Mengxi felt that this statement was exaggerated.
Because at that time, he believed that even in the Ice Age, there was a gap in combat power that could not be filled.
What does it mean that you can defeat all the elite soldiers in ancient times by replacing them with cold weapons? There are so many types of cold weapons, but with only a broken knife, how can you possibly fight against the rain of arrows from the Mongolian cavalry? How can you fight against the Iron Pagoda?
At this moment, Li Mengxi, who unexpectedly came to the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, saw all kinds of things and believed it.
Those are soldiers who dare to block machine guns. They are not afraid of machine guns, but are they afraid of the rain of fucking arrows?! Those are a group of people who dare to blow up and hit tanks with just a grenade. They are not afraid of tanks, they are afraid of the damn iron pagoda.
!
Even if they don't hold weapons, even if they are empty-handed, even if they don't have a piece of armor, those steel warriors who have traveled 25,000 miles will definitely be destroyed when they fight Liu Bei's rebel army.
Assuming that the cross-era battle can really be reproduced, Liu Bei's rebel army was able to gain some upper hand by relying on their superior weapons at first, but soon, the spear of the village warriors stabbed a person, and the tip of the spear passed through the body, but the gun could not be pulled out.
The gun was grabbed tightly by the dying man, and then another man rushed over and struggled with the spearman who had lost his spear. Then the man who rushed up from behind had a weapon. One person had a weapon, and two people
With weapons, more and more people are grabbing weapons... When the advantages of weapons disappear in the blink of an eye, the country warriors will be instantly defeated.
Li Mengxi retracted his thoughts. From this moment on, he suddenly realized that he knew what was needed to form an elite force.
Need a perfect formation? Excellent weapons?
neither.
If the country warriors had the same strong will as an army that has gone through a long march of thousands of miles, then they would have succeeded in charging the spear formation for the first time.
Unfortunately, they didn't.
They are just a little better than the Yellow Turban Army, just a little more organized and a little more trained.
Now that he has clearly understood what the most powerful warrior is, when he looks at the local warriors, the local warriors that Li Mengxi thought were good a moment ago are no longer acceptable to him now.
The village warriors almost succeeded in breaking the formation.
They miraculously figured out very good tactics.
The tactical process is like this.
When a small group of shield soldiers at the front of the cone formation rushed into the gun formation, they did not rush forward. Instead, they entered the forest of guns. Holding their shields, they rushed left and right, knocking the gun barrels away and knocking them out of the narrow space.
Once there was a safe space, the enemy's guns knocked it open to the left and right, and then the people behind rushed in along the gap.
Guan Yu's cone formation has only one column in the middle, and there is also a person at the tip of the cone formation. Guan Yu thinks there is no problem, and Li Mengxi also thinks this is right.
Now, through their own explorations, the local heroes have proven that both Guan Yu and Li Mengxi are wrong.
The shield soldiers break the spear formation. The minimum unit that breaks the formation should be three people. Cut into the spear formation. One person on the left holds a shield and blocks the incoming spear to the left. The other person holds a shield and blocks the incoming spear to the right. The spear formation is broken like
Break the door, wait for the middle door to open, and the third person will take advantage of the gap and enter.
Very good, the local warriors have begun to consider coordination, and the coordination tactics are very operational.
Li Mengxi licked his lips and his eyes moved slightly. It was beyond expectation that the country heroes could do this.
After a while, I went to tell Guan Yu that I had to ask them for a reward no matter what.
The squad leaders who have optimized the cone formation will probably be heavily rewarded by Guan Yu.
The minimum unit for breaking the cone formation should be three people, one to block the left, one to block the right, and one to cut in.
