Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Guardian Dragon
Duke Medea, who has always been ignorant of military affairs and even has no interest, couldn't help thinking seriously.
"Haha!" Aslan couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Everyone looked at Aslan in bewilderment, wondering why Aslan laughed.
"Cromwell, you raised this question. I have been thinking about it a long time ago. I have even designed a brand new system and prepared to adapt it before this war. Unfortunately, I didn't expect the war to come so fast. I can only keep Going to the battlefield as it is." Aslan suddenly said with a straight face.
"Appreciate further details!"
Everyone is also interested.
"I decided to change the army to a three-three system, and at the same time promote the three-three system tactics."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately showed shocked expressions.
Aslan not only prepared a new army structure, but also established new war tactics.
"Let's start with the simplest combat squad! The squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader each lead two fighters to form three combat teams. The infantry squad uses triangles for triangle offense and triangle defense."
Aslan just said a beginning, Cromwell and Artoria's eyes lit up.
"The three members of the three combat groups have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for offense, and the other two are responsible for cover and fire support. Three infantry squads form a combat group, which forms a platoon and is the smallest tactical unit."
Artoria asked suspiciously: "Now there are 12 combat squads in the army instead of 9? What about the remaining three?"
"That's because a three-man fire team is usually set up in the squad, equipped with a light machine gun and a sniper rifle. The machine gun is equipped with the front and back shooters, and the sniper rifle is used by the precision shooter. The fire team usually provides fire support at the rear of the infantry squad." Ah Silan explained carefully.
"After the infantry squad is the infantry platoon. There are three squads and one platoon. The tactic is that one squad will attack from the front. One squad will attack from the left, and the other will attack from the right. The infantry platoon usually has 9 combat teams with 27 people, plus three firepower teams. 36 people. Spread out in skirmish line formation."
Arturia and Cromwell couldn't help thinking about the effect of such a formation on the battlefield?
"Three platoons and one company, three companies are one battalion, and three battalions are one regiment. Company headquarters, battalion headquarters, and regiment headquarters are set up above the company level, and staff headquarters are set up at the regiment level."
"The regiment-level military commanders include the regimental commander, deputy regimental commander, and chief of staff. During wartime, the regimental commander and the chief of staff are at the regiment headquarters, and the deputy regimental commander usually goes to the main battalion to strengthen command." Aslan said this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. , Such an organization is indeed conducive to command, but it also requires a large number of grassroots commanders.
"What's above the regiment level?" Cromwell asked impatiently.
"Brigade, division, army!" said Aslan.
"Maybe I understand a little bit, my lord, have you considered the number of reserve officers?" Cromwell asked a serious question.
"Don't worry, I've been thinking about this a long time ago. The reason why the First Corps is staying here is to reorganize it. After the construction of the railway is completed, the first batch of officers from Merlot City will be added soon." Ah Silan said confidently.
"Artoria, the task of reorganizing the First Corps is entrusted to you."
"Yes! Please rest assured! My beloved husband." Artoria said a rare witty sentence.
"Haha, I really want to hug you and kiss you hard." Aslan laughed loudly.
Cromwell and Duke Durandal distanced themselves tacitly and looked at the surrounding scenery. Of course, they also kept a certain distance now, so as not to be suspected by Aslan.
When the last section of the railway was laid and Verdilon used earth magic to create a temporary train platform, a rumbling train slowly entered the train station.
Cromwell and Duke Durandal opened their mouths subconsciously.
They have seen the magic engine vehicles of the United Army for a long time, whether it is a military truck or an off-road military vehicle, they are all amazed, but when they saw the train, they were stunned apart from shock.
The 25-meter-long carriage has a full 20 sections, plus the front and rear fronts, it is more than 500 meters long.
As soon as the train stopped, countless United Army soldiers jumped out of the opened carriage door.
Cromwell roughly took a look, and there were a few to thousands of people, and more of the carriages were loaded with weapons and ammunition, which were being pulled into the temporary warehouse at the railway station.
"Just right!" Aslan closed his pocket watch and said with a smile, "I've brought you all the low-level officers you need, Artoria."
Arturia nodded, her eyes filled with joy.
"Marquis Aslan! Is this the train you are talking about? Where did he come from?" Duke Durandal asked with a look of shock on his face.
"That's right! Isn't it great! The train comes from the main railway station in Billy City. I have someone calculate the time for laying the railway in advance, so that the train will leave half an hour late." Aslan said with a smile.
"Departed last night?" asked Cromwell.
After all, from Billy City to Dilan City, almost spanning the entire province, it would take at least one day to transfer with two horses from the most elite knights, and they had to maintain a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
"I set off last night and spent about thirteen hours on the way without stopping!" Aslan said while taking out his pocket watch to compare the time.
Cromwell's eyes lit up. If that's the case, then he is sure to sweep across the entire Cleveland Commonwealth. Once the railway is laid, the United Army can easily reach there without worrying about logistics supplies.
"Look, what is that?" The soldiers of the garrison who were busy suddenly shouted.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention, even Cromwell was no exception.
Two huge figures slowly revealed their figures outside the sky, and the huge wings made the faces of many soldiers of the garrison change drastically.
A soldier tremblingly shouted: "It's a dragon! The evil dragon is coming."
The soldier immediately greeted the United Army soldier next to him with a kick.
"Besides evil, I will kick you to death."
In order to allow the garrison troops to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and at the same time adapt to the training of the Melox Provincial Army, Arturia dispersed the combined army of the First Corps, each leading ten to a dozen people.
"That's the dragon protecting the city of Merlot, the patron saint of our city of Merlot." The soldiers of the unified army said with reverence.
When the surrounding guards heard this, they all showed expressions of shock and excitement.
The Marquis Aslan they followed was really powerful, and he actually convinced the mysterious and powerful creature like the dragon.
"I've heard that the Marquis of Aslan tamed a giant dragon, but I didn't expect to see it so soon." Duke Durandal said enviously.
