Valley Emperor

Because of the complete design drawings of Malacca City, this also allows Datang's siege troops to make targeted combat deployments.

This kind of targeted deployment has shown very good results in the previous artillery battle. Datang's artillery can always be deployed in very clever places, not only can effectively shell the enemy's artillery positions, but also can avoid the enemy. artillery counterattack.

Or use heavy artillery to target some of the enemy's very concealed artillery positions.

The general attack will be launched tomorrow, and it will also be based on the detailed design of the city defense of Malacca, so as to make targeted deployments.

After a day of combat meetings, in the afternoon, the chief officers of each unit began to rush back to their units, especially the chief officers of each battalion and regiment, who needed to conduct tactical deployment and final mobilization of the troops.

Dong Qiankun is one of them. He is the battalion commander and lieutenant colonel of the 571st Infantry Battalion under the 57th Infantry Regiment.

Taking the position of a lieutenant colonel as the battalion commander of an infantry battalion is not too common in the Datang Army, but it is definitely not a lot. Generally speaking, it happens to the junior lieutenant colonel, and generally speaking, it is the position of the junior lieutenant colonel. The battalion commander numbered 1 in each unit.

For example, the battalion commander of the 581st Infantry Battalion and the battalion commander of the 591st Infantry Battalion are actually lieutenant colonels.

Here, it has something to do with the command power extension system on the battlefield of the Datang Army.

In the battlefield command regulations of the Datang Army, when the chief officer of the unit is killed or seriously injured and cannot effectively command the unit, the command will be deferred to the person with the highest rank. If the rank is the same, the commander of the combat unit will have priority. Infantry, cavalry, artillery, baggage and other arms, if they are all combat troops and commanders of the same arms, then the number of the troops in command will take precedence.

Although there are not many cases where the battalion commander of the infantry battalion takes over the position of the commander of the infantry regiment, there are also many occurrences. Therefore, in order to make such an accident happen to the troops, the Datang Army needs the battalion commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion to command the entire regiment. , can make the battalion commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion have sufficient capabilities.

Senior officers with rich command and combat experience are often selected as senior officers. However, a major battalion commander with such qualifications is generally facing promotion, and you can't keep pressing him, so many times, the military will be under certain circumstances. The rank of lieutenant colonel is awarded to the battalion commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion under the senior infantry regiment.

Doing so can solve many problems, and it also complies with the regulations on military ranks and duties in the Tang Army. According to relevant regulations, the rank of the head of a main infantry regiment can be either a lieutenant colonel or a colonel. Of course, generally speaking It is the limitation of the colonel. The rank of lieutenant colonel is often just promoted and used for transition.

The words of the deputy head of the regiment are generally of the rank of lieutenant colonel, and very few are senior majors.

Several battalion commanders are mainly with the rank of major, and very few have the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Under this kind of relevant regulations, if the colonel of the 57th Infantry Regiment cannot command, then the remaining commander of the regiment with the highest rank will take over the command post. Except for the regiment commander, the highest rank of the regiment is the The deputy commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment and the battalion commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Dong Qiankun, are both lieutenant colonels!

However, in terms of taking over the command, the deputy commander has priority over him, so according to the Datang Army's battlefield command regulations, Dong Qiankun is the third-ranked commander!

Of course, this arrangement is only for the army to prevent emergencies. In actual combat, the collective death or serious injury of the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander is still relatively rare. Even if it happens, the superior will soon arrange the relevant officers to take over.

However, it is worth noting that even if an officer is arranged to take over the post, it is usually replaced by the senior battalion commander below, and it is rarely said that it is dispatched from the division headquarters, or that the military department arranges it separately.

Of course, it is relatively rare for the deputy division commander or even the division chief of staff to take over the command in person, and it cannot be counted. When a brigadier-general-level general comes to command, even the original head of the regiment can only obey orders, and under normal circumstances If a brigadier-level general such as the deputy division commander or the division chief of staff is dispatched to lead troops, he will often lead a temporary mixed unit to fight. Mixed regiment or even mixed brigade level is possible.

As a senior battalion commander of the army, Dong Qiankun naturally knows these internal regulations of the army very well, but he did not expect that when the general attack on the second day had just begun, strictly speaking, it was just the beginning of the artillery cover before the general attack. , The infantry has not yet started to charge, he has become the supreme commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment!

And this change, not only did not give him the joy of promotion and fortune, but he was deeply worried. He was worried that the bad luck of the 57th Infantry Regiment would continue.

Yes, the 57th Infantry Regiment has had bad luck on this day!

This morning, the officers of the 57th Infantry Regiment just found out that their commander had not woken up for a long time. When they saw, oh my God, their commander couldn't bear the high fever. Pessimistic conclusion.

Because of their hard work in the past few days and the uncontrollable weather now, their head of the regiment suffered from the wind and cold. It is more dangerous for the high fever to persist, so they were carried back to the hospital ship at the dock of the landing site for treatment on the spot.

The battle has not yet begun, Ding Chenzhen has lost a front-line general!

Yes, the 57th Infantry Regiment is the main infantry regiment. The head of this kind of infantry regiment is also a senior colonel. This kind of officer looks at the whole army and belongs to the highest priority group of intermediate generals. General Seeds.

The importance of the 57th Infantry Regiment as the main attacking force is unquestionable. The commander of the battalion was seriously ill and had a high fever, which was a considerable blow to the attacking force.

In desperation, the deputy commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment began to take over the command, but just brought the troops to the front, and when the rear shelling began to cover the shelling, the Portuguese on the top of the city also used it. A few artillery pieces fired sporadically and counterattacked feebly.

This level of artillery fire counterattack has almost no threat to the siege troops of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the deputy commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment went to each unit with the officers for the final general mobilization, when he was badly shelled by the Portuguese.

The Portuguese opened the artillery early in the morning, and they fired a total of hundreds of shells. Most of them were useless, but a nine-pound external fuze grenade hit the deputy commander. Above the trenches!

Under the explosion, the deputy head was seriously injured on the spot!

In this way, the general offensive has not yet officially started, and the 57th Infantry Regiment, which was unfavorable, was the loss of two generals!

According to the relevant regulations of the Datang Army, Dong Qiankun raised his flag to take over the command of the 57th Infantry Regiment while reporting to the division headquarters.

When Ding Chenzhen heard that the deputy head of the 57th Infantry Regiment was also hit by a stray bullet when he was unlucky, he was speechless, and even considered whether to move the general attack time a day later.

Before we even started to fight, we lost two generals together. This situation is a bit wrong!

You must know that since the landing force started from Guangzhou, until yesterday, there have been few casualties in total, and none of the officers at the officer level have been reduced, regardless of whether they are sick or injured, not a single one.

Now it's good, in less than an hour, one is seriously ill and the other is seriously injured.

Could it be that you didn't read the Yellow Calendar when you went out?

But as readers, they don't believe in this stuff either!

In the education system of the Tang Empire, many Confucian concepts are still very important. Although it is said that they have started to study mathematics, physics and chemistry, everyone still considers themselves to be scholars and is deeply influenced by Confucianism.

And the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were almost all scholars. If you want to take the military academy, you must go to the preparatory course first!

Therefore, the officers of the Tang Dynasty basically regarded themselves as scholars, and they were also the best scholars. They all regarded themselves as scholars. Naturally, they did not believe in ghosts.

They don't look at the yellow calendar!

But today's strange situation made Ding Chenzhen a little uneasy.

But fortunately, he finally did not change his battle plan because he was uneasy. This was not an attack by a regiment of the 57th Infantry Regiment, but an attack by the entire army.

So he could only ask the messengers to go to the 57th Infantry Regiment, and let Dong Qiankun, who took over the command, get acquainted with the troops as soon as possible, because the battle plan would continue as expected.

Dong Qiankun did not expect that he would become the commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment in just an hour, and he is still stunned, but he is also a senior battalion commander, although he has never experienced such a situation before. but not unprepared for it.

Immediately, he found Major Hu Baoguan, the chief of staff of the 57th Infantry Regiment, and was familiar with the attack plan to discuss and discuss later~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Major Hu Baoguan was also very unlucky. He followed the deputy commander to inspect the position. , was also injured by the shrapnel of the shell, but the injury was not too serious, only the left hand was injured. At the same time, it was only a flesh wound, not a bone. After the emergency treatment of the military doctor, it is now wearing a bandage.

Of course, the pain is unavoidable, so when Dong Qiankun found him, the man endured the pain and introduced Dong Qiankun to the battle plan.

"How is it, Brother Hu can still hold on?" Dong Qiankun asked immediately when he saw that the forehead of Major Hu Baoguan was already dripping with beads of sweat.

But Major Hu Baoguan shook his head: "It's fine, this little injury is fine!"

Dong Qiankun glanced at him and said, "Then let's continue!"
