0939 Temporarily unable to increase troops

President Meng looked on the map. After comparing the estimated route of Tsarist Russian troops to reinforce and the possible deployment situation after arriving at the rescue zone, the Meng President frowned.?    ?

"It's very difficult to deal with. It's still very difficult for our two divisions to go up and deal with more than 50,000 Tsarist Russian troops. Moreover, we still have to fight for time now. If we don't arrive in Tuluhansk before the Tsarist Russian troops to replace the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, a big thing will happen!" The cute president said to Princess Katrina Kaf.

Princess Katrina Kaf worriedly: "Yes, fortunately, Tsarist Russia has no money. Otherwise, if they really send more than 500,000 troops, even if we transfer all 26 infantry divisions, we might not be able to fight."

The cute CEO said sadly: "Did you blame me in your heart? Why didn't you listen to you at the beginning? Why did you attack the Russians as soon as you came?"

Princess Katrina Kaif shook her head and said, "President, don't get me wrong. Why do I think so? Besides, the president has explained it to me."

The cute president sighed and said, "By relying on military to drive industry and industry to drive the entire Chinese economy, this is only one aspect. The most important thing is that if we don't beat the polar bears above our heads, we will not be able to do anything! Think about it, no matter whether we want to unify North Korea or the entire China, or to use troops to South Asia, a polar bear lying on the head can slap us at any time. Our main forces must be restrained in the north. If Tsarist Russia is defeated, this problem will no longer exist. Twenty-six divisions will be enough for a long time."

Princess Katrina Kaif shook her head and said, "That was the situation that won the Tsarist Russia. The president, now it seems that twenty-six divisions are not necessarily enough. Do you still need to recruit soldiers?"

"Don't increase troops for the time being. Now it depends on the experience we have accumulated in the past few years of military training and combat. How useful can we send? It's time for the Chinese army to see the truth. The 6th Army of Tsarist Russia is our first alchemy stone." The cute president stood up, pushed open the window, and looked at the beautiful Baikal outside the window. The endless Baikal Lake is so beautiful. The cute president's eyes were full of perseverance.

His eyes are firm enough. In fact, the cute president's mind is now in chaos. He often feels like this. His mother is so big that she is playing big. She is a sling. You deserve to be such a huge boss in China? Do you have the ability to be this boss?

Many times, the cute president even wants to go home to find his mother.

I even feel like a complete idiot, my mind is empty and I don’t understand it.

It's not as good as a dog when you are alive!

Compared with a wealthy life, the pressure of being an empire president is simply too great. The cute president is willing to live a simple life for ordinary people to have a simple meal. This is true.

The life of the cute president is not easy, and the life of Tsar Alexander II is not much better than that of the cute president. The threat of war from China is like a sudden nightmare for Tsar Alexander II, which is really terrible!

When did China rise? Alexander II didn't realize it. Anyway, suddenly, the Vladivostok region was lost, the Far East region was lost, and then Lake Baikal was gone, and then the Chinese army directly extended their hands to the entire Siberia.

The ability to send more than 50,000 troops to fight in Siberia is already the limit that the Tsarist Russian treasury can support now. If the army is sent out, the supply will definitely not be able to keep up. According to Alexander II's vision, if this huge army is sent, many people will definitely die. If it reaches 20,000 or 30,000 people, the supply should be able to barely deal with it.

If the Tsarist Russian soldiers who went to war knew that their Tsar thought so, they didn't know what they should think.

The cute president is understanding Tsarist Russia, and Tsar Alexander II is also actively understanding the Chinese and the cute presidents, 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 this war between China and Russia.

Unlike the gradual abolition of serfdom in Western European countries, perhaps due to the great pressure of the nobles, Russia was completely opposite. In the 17th and 18th centuries, serfs were deprived of all rights and were completely controlled by landowners. Russian landowners assumed the obligation to collect taxes and recruit soldiers for the army.

Therefore, the huge pressure on military service is burdened with serfs.

At the same time, in order to facilitate control of such an army, the Russian ruling class is often more willing 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 a failure to expect that the Russian soldiers would show the cleverness of the French and the rationality of the Germans when serving as outposts or conducting straggler wars.

What the Russian soldiers need is orders, clear and clear orders. If he does not receive the order, he may not retreat, but he will not move forward, and he does not know how to act.

In the War against France from 18o5 to 18o7, due to the backward tactical system, they were defeated.

After the war, Suvorov's playing style began to be restored and Napoleon's new tactics were learned, but the influence of the old line tactical ideas still existed seriously. The "Infantry Service Regulations" promulgated in 1811 was such a mixed product. He required the infantry troops to learn combat movements in column formations, and at the same time emphasized aiming and shooting, stipulating the excellent shooters that each company should have.

These regulations reflect progressive factors, but the basic tendency of the regulations is to stick to the rules, limited to playground drills, and extremely complex flower arrangements. In the early days of the war in 1812, the "Infantry Officer War Model" written by former Suvorov general Bagrazion for the Second Army was further than the 1811 regulations. It firmly required soldiers to carry out targeting shooting, and the front-line shooters should be stragglers. The teaching model also talks about column attacks and requires taking advantage of favorable opportunities to actively engage in hand-to-hand combat. The teaching model also points out that flashy actions should not be done in the training of the troops. However, this idea does not dominate the entire army.

After the outbreak of the Patriotic War in 1812, the army returned to the old training method. Continuous war and expansion also greatly reduced the quality of the soldiers. Barclay Toli was also worried about the decline in the quality of the Russian team. He wrote in 181o: "Compared with the brave and strong army before, our corps are now just a large number of soldiers who are distinguished by green clothes. They cannot adapt to the harshness of the war. The endless war polished their heroic traditional virtues. And their patriotism, like their strength, began to become weaker in this tragic and meaningless war."

After the end of the Napoleonic War, Napoleon on St. Helena also agreed: "If it were Austerlitz's Russian soldiers would never lose the Battle of Borodino."

Finally, no matter what formation is formed on the battlefield, it cannot be separated from the cover of light infantry.

However, during the Napoleonic Wars, the content of the official training manual for strait tactics was very poor.

It was not until 1818 that the contents of strait tactics began to appear in the training manual. The Corps Training Regulations recommend that the strait lines should be arranged 30 steps away from the infantry battalion.

Before this, each regiment relied on its own unofficial regulations to stipulate how to arrange scattered lines.

The combat ideas of the Russian 6th Army during the period of Nicholas I were generally stuck in the Napoleonic Wars, and believed that one or two final battles could determine the end of the war. This idea was long outdated.

Tactical training was also very backward. In order to train the army as a tool to blindly follow the Tsar, the infantry doctrines from 1831 to 48 were full of formalism, and the training focus was on intensive formation and pace, emphasizing strict and complex mechanical movements, and not mentioning tactical movements at all.

The gun must be polished brightly, but it does not require accurate shooting. Everything is for inspection rather than actual combat.

Due to the development of firearms, European troops in the 19th century had gradually adopted new scattered line combat formations, while Russia was still insisting on using outdated dense column formations, resulting in huge casualties during the war.

The joint British and French fleets shelled the Russian army. During the Krim War, the Russian team's technical and tactical level was extremely behind. Engels commented on the Russian army in the Krim War and pointed out: "This outstanding army with many veterans who served for 25 years is so clumsy in military parade training, so poor at dispersing formations and fighting with small troops that its officers could only make this clumsy crowd rush towards the enemy.

All tactical and maneuvering thoughts were abandoned; moving forward, moving forward, and that was all that could be done. This dense crowd, due to its very denseness, certainly became the most ideal shooting target for artillery.

He also summarized the Russian army in this way: "The main part of their army was composed of a large number of semi-barbaric and therefore clumsy infantry and numerous, equally semi-barbarous informal light cavalry (Cossack).

In the decisive battle, in the great battle, the Russian army always fought with large groups of soldiers. Suvorov understood this necessity when he was still attacking Ismaila and Ochakov. The movement lacked by this army was partially compensated by informal cavalry, because the latter maneuvered around it from all directions, thus concealing all its movements.

But it is precisely because the Russian team is large and inflexible, that it is most suitable to form the core, main pillar and backbone of the coalition, because the coalition's actions are always slightly slower than those of the national army. The Russian army did this role well in 1813 and 1814, and in these few years there was almost no battle deployed by the Chinese and Russian teams without adopting intensive columns, which are much greater than all other troops in terms of depth and density."
