In the army of modern countries, there is actually a big gap in the establishment of brigades. In some countries, brigade is a more comprehensive group, while in some countries, brigade is actually similar to division. But even a relatively small synthetic brigade is usually composed of about three combat battalions, plus artillery battalions, air defense battalions and various support, support and logistics institutions.
Such a brigade has at least 3,000 people and is equipped with tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and air defense weapons. Some synthetic brigades may also be equipped with helicopters. Ordinary soldiers are equipped with light weapons such as machine guns, mortars and individual rocket launchers.
These weapons, even if equipped by the armies of relatively backward countries, were much more advanced than any other weapons in the world during the reign of Kangxi.
For example, Kangxi's later years? That is1early 8th century? At that time, the power in the world was relatively large, and the effective range of 32-pound heavy guns equipped on battleships in various countries was more than 2000 meters. Needless to say, this range is much farther than modern artillery and missiles and even mortars.
As for the field guns widely used by the armies of various countries at that time, the effective range was only a few hundred meters. Obviously, even rifles and machine guns in the hands of soldiers can suppress the artillery of these troops. As for the bows, arrows and muskets equipped by ordinary soldiers at that time, not to mention, they were basically defeated by modern troops before they were used.
So when it comes to fighting, a modern brigade has an overwhelming advantage.
Of course, some people will say that modern troops have a great demand for logistics, and once ammunition is used up, it is a waste. Moreover, a brigade is too small to rule a country, let alone the whole world.
However, people who hold this view obviously forget that the officers and men of a brigade are not only soldiers, but also people who have received modern education and mastered modern scientific knowledge. /kloc-in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, relying on the knowledge in the minds of officers and men and the ready-made equipment in the army, the industrial revolution can be completely started.
Therefore, when it is necessary to establish a solid base area in the early days, this brigade may need to fight many battles. But later, the brigade will use modern knowledge to rule the controlled area and develop industry.
Even if the weapon technology only pointed to the mini rifle, it was a super killer in the18th century, and it had an absolute advantage over the army at that time. Modern people only need to form a new army in the controlled area and use these troops to conquer other areas. They don't have to do it themselves.
