Compared with the Shimen Military Stronghold eighty miles away, the military stronghold named "Menqian" by Cheng Jinhou is actually much smaller in scale, and there are no defensive ancillary fortifications. The surrounding rocks are even removed to facilitate the entry and exit of the cavalry. Several roads have been organized.
Cheng Jinhou knew his mission when he arrived here from the upper military camp: to defend in an offensive manner.
In other words, Cheng Jinhou needed to assume an offensive posture while continuing to defend this new military stronghold. In the words of Shen Wanlin, the head coach of the Jianchuan War Zone: You are both a nail and a stone mill! I want you to be nailed into the enemy's flesh and wear away their flesh and blood!
In fact, Cheng Jinhou understood that when it came to wasting away flesh and blood, it was not only the barbarians who died, but also the good men of the old Jing Dynasty.
The fighting intensity in Jianchuan is too high. Although there are only tens of thousands of people fighting on the terrain at most, it cannot form a large-scale decisive battle of 100,000 people. But the fighting was almost continuous.
Every time Cheng Jinhou had to sign the list of those killed in action and pensions, he had to hold back to keep his hands from shaking. He didn't even dare to think about how many groups of people he had changed under his command.
It is said that a general's merits are piled with bones. Although this is harsh, Cheng Jinhou admits that every inch of his military exploits in his life was earned by the lives of his subordinates. It is appropriate to say that there are piles of bones behind him.
But Cheng Jinhou, like most generals, has a heart of iron, but he is not really a heart of stone. He will be sad and bleed. It's just that they can't express it directly before winning or losing.
Cheng Jinhou experienced the last war against the barbarians, and he also became famous in that war, and then gradually became the leader of an army.
Therefore, Cheng Jinhou was mentally prepared when he fought against the barbarians. The ferocity and ferocity of the barbarians are not only directed at their enemies, they are equally ferocious towards their own people. This is the ethnic character brought about by the generally harsh living environment.
But the barbarians dared not care about dead people, and even dared to overwhelm the tribe and fight to the death. Jing Jiuchao did not like to play with them. Every death of a soldier is something the general does not want to see. And compared to death, the wounded are even more involved. How to reduce the number of wounded and how to treat and transfer the wounded as quickly as possible has always been a perennial headache for all armies and generals. In many cases, the ability to handle this aspect will directly affect the promotion of generals.
But there have always been few ways to reduce battle losses. Because fighting still relies on the collision of a large number of non-monk soldiers and military formations, the battlefield between high-level monks and high-level monks is equally cruel, so the main battlefield can only be worn out by flesh and blood. The result of grinding it down is stacks of death lists.
The intensity of this battle was particularly frightening, exceeding what Cheng Jinhou had experienced in his last battle.
But this time there are some differences, for example, there is an additional position of "miscellaneous manager" that I have never heard of before. When Cheng Jinhou heard it for the first time, he scoffed. He knew it was a tacit understanding of the deal between Junwu and Xuanqing Guard, and he didn't expect it to be of any practical use.
But reality is so unpredictable.
First, an order to drink boiled water to prevent diarrhea came from the mouth of the chore manager to all the troops. From top to bottom, all armies have almost experienced a change in attitude from "doubt" to "doubt" and finally "really effective". Only then did he start taking the chore manager seriously.
Later, Cheng Jinhou witnessed the bravery of the chore manager on the wall of the village with his own eyes, and also saw the chore manager taking the lead in the subsequent rush to the formation, and then he discovered that there were bloody men in Xuanqing Guards.
From then on, the name of the miscellaneous chief was always heard in the army. What Cheng Jinhou has been paying the most attention to lately is the emerging "emergency team." None of the other armies, only the Shimen Military Stronghold that was the first to implement it, had hundreds of them who were said to have been personally trained by the Chief of Miscellaneous Affairs when he was at the Shimen Military Stronghold.
So Cheng Jinhou came to the door in person and refused to leave the head coach who was staying at Shimen Military Village. He also promised ten good drinks after the war before taking fifty first-aid team members from Shimen Military Village as instructors and bringing them back to his army's assault training personnel. . At the same time, the latest strategy for the first aid team was obtained from Wuhu, which even included the unified establishment and deployment of first aid teams and doctors.
Compared with others, Cheng Jinhou had more confidence in this first aid team, or in other words, in the general manager, so he asked the 50 first aid team instructors to speed up the instruction of his own soldiers, and at the same time, he talked with the Wuhu Zhongjun The contact there took over the task of inspecting the first aid team in actual combat.
After several battles later, Cheng Jinhou was extremely grateful for his choice. The first aid team was so useful in actual combat.
If the injured person shouts loudly, the emergency team will come over with a stretcher and carry the seriously injured person to a place suitable for treatment. If the situation is urgent, some measures will be taken immediately, such as stopping the bleeding, and then the patient will be taken away. There is no need to waste other soldiers in the battle formation on the wounded, and the integrity of the battle formation is maintained to the greatest extent.
In addition, the seriously injured people who are carried away will not be left to fend for themselves as before, but will go to the wartime rescue center set up in the rear, where doctors will be responsible for rescue or treatment. Then provide unified care.
Later, a batch of so-called "first aid kits" with relatively rough workmanship were sent and distributed to front-line soldiers to test the effectiveness of their use. And the usefulness of this thing is also huge. It can actually quickly treat some minor injuries on its own. There is no need to call an emergency team or a doctor, and there is no need to worry about the injury being delayed.
Cheng Jinhou didn't understand the details and didn't have time to understand them in detail, but he could easily spot the changes after each battle when he saw the casualty reports.
Comparing the number of combat attrition before the emergency team entered combat organization and after entering combat organization: direct combat attrition decreased by 15% to 20%!
This was an estimated figure given by the Wuhu Central Army in the strategy before. I didn't expect that it had already achieved such an effect just after it was implemented. What if that kind of first aid kit is fully equipped to every soldier in the future? What if the proportion of first aid teams in the military could be higher?
Even not long ago, the barbarians attacked the two military strongholds at Shimen and in front of the gate at night, and they launched a desperate attack. If it were not for the help of the emergency team, Cheng Jinhou felt that it was very likely that he would be in a dilemma of being unable to sustain his manpower. The 10% to 20% reduction in battle losses in this high-consumption battle is as important as a life-saving straw.
After that, Cheng Jinhou sent three copper bars to the general manager of the Wuhu Army's Daoxing Yamen. The only requirement was that each soldier should be equipped with two first-aid kits for one person. In addition, when giving feedback on the actual combat report compiled by the first aid team and doctors, Cheng Jinhou directly suggested that the first aid team be deployed throughout the army as soon as possible. The actual combat results have shown that it is of great use.
Wuhu received more than one report and request similar to Cheng Jinhou's. Pan Shigui, the commander-in-chief of Shimen, had the same request, but he just had to write the words "first aid kit" on the entire page.
PS: This is the fourth update today, added. Thank you for your continued support. Give it up!
Finally, I would be so shameless as to ask for a full reservation! Thanks!
