"The formation of the Chinese can make our attacking troops involuntarily concentrate in a relatively narrow area, and their use of machine guns has also subverted my thinking. Their machine guns are not placed on the front, but on the front. On both sides, this happens to form a crossfire, with almost no dead ends. And their defense like this will inevitably cause heavy losses to our attacking side. And their artillery can just be used as scattered firepower to suppress our attacking side."

Adenauer explained to the Dutch officers about the formation of the Taiwan army, and those officers were very surprised by this formation.

"General, how do we crack it?" A staff officer asked.

"It's actually very simple to crack this formation. The most effective way to crack it is to go around the flanks and go behind them to attack on both sides, so that we can break it. However, they are backed by the coast, and the sea is behind them. We It is impossible to go around the sea to attack. Unless we have a navy, we can't go around at all. However, our navy has already lost or surrendered in order to cover us. They just took advantage of our lack of a navy, and they have absolute command of the sea. That's what allowed us to use this formation!" explained Adenauer.

"Then there is nothing we can do?" someone asked.

But Adenauer said: "Actually, there is another way, and that is to use the infantry to attack together. We use our cannons to suppress their firepower, and then take the opportunity to let the infantry attack! In this way, when our artillery stops, Then I'm afraid our soldiers are holding their guns to their heads."

"That's good! Why not use this method?" Someone asked.

Adenauer said angrily: "You idiots, this is only theoretically feasible. You don't even look at the army in our colony. Too many people haven't been trained for a long time, and they all herd sheep. Originally, they didn't How many infantry coordination will be possible. In addition, there has been no training for so long, how can they use infantry coordination? I am afraid that by then, our artillery will throw shells at the heads of our own infantry. At that time, the enemy was not killed. Instead, many of my own people died.”

Everyone has nothing to say, the Dutch colonial troops are really cheating. Originally, there was obviously a way to crack it, but it couldn't be used because of the problem of military quality. Infantry coordination is an advanced tactic that not all soldiers can handle. At that time, if Wang Guorui hadn't had red police soldiers serving as grassroots non-commissioned officers, I am afraid that Wang Guorui would not have been able to use infantry to cooperate with this tactic. The Dutch troops in Indonesia are all parallel imports, and it would be too difficult for them to use infantry to coordinate. I am afraid that if the Taiwanese army is not dead by then, most of their infantry will be killed by their own artillery.

"It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that our army is too incompetent!" Adenauer said bitterly in his heart.

There is obviously a way to solve this situation, but the soldiers under him are not strong enough. It made Adenauer very speechless, seeing that the victory in hand was lost just like that.

"The formation of the Chinese seems to be missing half of the moon. We can temporarily call it the moon formation." Adenauer said.

And the position of the squadron.

"Song Yang, your moon array is really good. It not only saves ammunition, but also uses every ammunition where it is most needed. In this way, the pressure of our ammunition has been greatly reduced, and the hit rate has almost increased several times. In this way The same firepower can be used several times. In this way, our crisis will be touched!" Li Yuanhong said.

And Song Yang also said: "This is what I learned from ancient times. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, he used this kind of moon formation to fight against the northern cavalry. More than 2,000 infantry broke through the enemy's 30,000 cavalry. This is a record that defies the sky. However, the conditions for using the moon formation are too complicated, which makes the moon formation not be taken seriously. And I just came up with this method, and then used this method to defeat a large number of enemies."

Song Yang's method is the Queyue formation that Liu Yu used back then, and the biggest method of the Queyue formation is to use the banks of the big river and then form a formation to form a semicircle with a radian. In this way, the formation of soldiers is like a bow, and the river bank is the bowstring. However, in ancient times, it was not called a bow array. Instead, it is called the moon that looks like it is half missing, so it is called the moon array.

And Song Yang thought of this. He thought of Liu Yu's use of this formation. When the northern cavalry attacked, the arc-shaped area of ​​the enemy was small. In this way, the enemy can't help but concentrate its forces to attack. In this way, the troops were concentrated, and the arc-shaped infantry took the opportunity to use bows and crossbows to fight. The strong crossbow can shoot several soldiers to death at a time, so the closer the northern cavalry is, the more they will suffer heavy losses, and finally collapse one after another.

Of course, this era does not use crossbows anymore, and Song Yang let the soldiers of the marine division use rifles as infantry bows and cannons as crossbows, which is more powerful. And the loss of the natives is also very huge, which makes it impossible for them to sustain it.

But if you want to achieve the moon formation, you must ensure that you fight by the river or sea, and you must have absolute control over the water. At that time, Liu Yu used the southern water army to occupy the Yellow River, so he guaranteed the right to control the water. And now Taiwan has eaten up the Dutch navy in Indonesia, so that Taiwan has guaranteed the sea control, and it can use this moon formation, because the Dutch can no longer attack from the sea.

Of course, Que Yuezhen is not without its disadvantages, and the biggest disadvantage is that there are too many conditions for use. Not only must it be near the water, but it must also have a large river, and the right to control water must be guaranteed, otherwise it cannot be used. But how many conditions can guarantee the right to control water? There weren't many of these in ancient times, so if the moon formation was used once, there would be no trace. Moreover, the Moon Formation cannot be used for active offense, but only for defense, so it is not without its shortcomings.

"Mr. Li, the Dutch have already begun to retreat!" said the scout.

And Li Yuanhong saw that the Dutch also chose to retreat instead of taking the initiative to attack, so Li Yuanhong also breathed a sigh of relief. Because if the Dutch take the initiative to attack, the outcome is still unknown! Although the firepower of Li Yuanhong's marine division is fierce, the Dutch also have 120,000 people. If this continues, the two sides will definitely fall into a state of attrition, which is not very good for both sides. Such a state was very unfavorable to him, so Li Yuanhong was relieved to see the Dutch retreating voluntarily.

"The Dutch knew the characteristics of our moon formation, so they did not choose to attack, but chose to retreat. If the enemy general is a mediocre person, maybe he will attack at all costs, so that we will fall into a trap instead. A state of exhaustion. At that time, our exchange ratio in this battle will definitely be much better than theirs, so they will lose a lot. At that time, all they will lose are human lives, and all we will lose are ammunition. So I always know that they are the losers, and our army will arrive soon. By then, their 120,000 active forces will be exhausted with us, and they will probably suffer heavy losses. And our households will not That's great. Although we can wipe out more than 100,000 of them, our marine division may also suffer heavy losses. Although the Dutch soldiers are not very elite, they are still a force. Besides, the Dutch are not the kind of natives. Although the Dutch have less training, they are stronger than the natives anyway, and their weapons are better than the natives. Therefore, if the Dutch take the initiative to attack, it will be very unfavorable for our future situation." Li Yuanhong said.

And Li Yuanhong knew that the Dutch commander this time was not simple, he was probably a smart man. He has a very clear view of the situation and knows the idea of ​​​​preserving vitality. The Dutch domestic support will come soon, as he should have guessed. The Dutch will never let their most important and last piece of colony be lost, so they must send troops from the mainland. And at this time, they want to try to see if they can force the Taiwanese army away. If they can force them away, it will be very beneficial to them~lightnovelpub.net~ But since things are no longer possible, they must find a way to save themselves As long as one's own vitality is guaranteed, it can become a very important reliance. Although these more than 100,000 Dutch soldiers are not very elite, they are all "noble" Dutchmen, and they cannot just fight like this. So he chose to retreat and wait for the domestic support troops to come, so that they can also join the local army, and finally be able to fight the Taiwan army again.

"You must be careful about this Dutch commander. He has a good eye. What is this guy's name?" Li Yuanhong asked.

Song Yang immediately looked at the investigation information, and then said: "The supreme commander of the enemy army is called Adenauer. More information is not clear. We can only find out one name."

"Okay, since this is the case, we must talk about it in the future.

The Dutch quickly began to withdraw their troops, and Li Yuanhong also led the marine division to gradually retreat to Dongwanlu, the capital of Lanfang. After all, the Dutch suffered a small loss in this battle. However, the Dutch were not injured, after all, the casualties were all natives. However, both sides have also formed a tacit agreement, that is, to wait for their respective reinforcements to arrive before fighting. (To be continued..) u
