The emergence of special forces began during World War II. In fact, there were many "special forces" in China's ancient wars.
Qin State-Iron Eagle Sharp Man
Qin Jun New Army (an army formed after Shang Yang's political reform) is brave and good at fighting, so it is called Ruishi. Xunzi once spoke highly of Qin's military strength: "Qi's martial arts can't meet Wei's soldiers, and Wei's soldiers can't meet Qin's sharp people." At that time, the ranks of Wei were very brave, known as Wei Wuzu. However, the iron eagle sharp soldiers of the State of Qin can often beat one enemy by ten, which shows that their combat effectiveness is amazing.
Daqin Tie Ying Ruishi is armed to the teeth, with broad armor, daggers, fine iron daggers and cowhide shields, holding spears, carrying 20 long arrows and a hard bow with iron tires on his back, and carrying a three-day rations shield at the same time, with a total load of about 80 kilograms.
According to records, the smallest tactical unit in Qin Jun consists of five soldiers. 10 soldiers form a chariot, consisting of 50 soldiers. Two battalions make up a general, consisting of 100 soldiers. When defending, five people protect each other, and when attacking, if there is a numerical advantage, they will besiege the enemy. In the melee, the internal team of Wu has always maintained close ties and will not be easily broken.
Iron Eagle Sharp Division is the most elite army of Qin State, which was founded by the superior general Sima Cuo. Iron Eagle Sharp is not only skilled in fencing, but also proficient in riding and shooting. The selection requirements of Tieying Ruishi are extremely demanding. After training, Ruishi is the bravest soldier. As the saying goes, "100,000 Chi soldiers make 1,000 sharp divisions", and the new army of Qin State is 200,000, of which only 1,500 are "iron eagle sharp divisions". It serves to show that the Ruis of Daqin are the essence of Qin Jun.
It was with such Julian Waghann that Qin Shihuang quickly destroyed the Six Kingdoms.
Late Eastern Han Dynasty-Trap Camp
Trapped camp was a special force commanded by Gao Shun, a general under Lu Bu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that Seibel "has more than 700 soldiers, thousands of them, and their armor is finished, and every attack is unbreakable, which is called a trap camp."
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, vests were not popular, so Cao Cao said in the military and political order: "Yuan Benchu has 10,000 collars, and I have 20 collars; There were 300 vests at the beginning of this year, but I can't have ten. " At that time, the cavalry was mainly light riding, and "the armor and fighting equipment were excellent and neat", which meant heavy infantry.
Gaoshun people's "innocence, dignity, no drinking and no taking bribes" can be said to be typical integrity, and they are famous for their loyalty. After Lu Bu was destroyed, he died without saying a word, which is quite rare in the capricious Lu Bu camp. Cao Cao was the only one who killed Lu Bu's men, because he knew all the details of Cao Cao (Chen Gong had to kill him).
His "trap camp" is also the trump card of Lu Bu's army. He once defeated Liu Beijun, who owns Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
The History of the Three Kingdoms is simple, and the author cherishes ink like gold. Even the generals of Shu Han, the princes of Dongwu and Xiahou of Cao have not been passed down independently. But for Gao Shun, who is not described much, he also wrote in Trapped Camp, and it is "every attack will be broken" (although it is quoted, Chen Shou is willing to write with pen and ink, which seems credible), which shows his high status and strong combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, Lu Bu is not a handsome talent. "You know his loyalty, but you can't take advantage of it.
The tragedy of Lu Bu has also become the tragedy of the elite soldiers in this trap camp!
Eastern Jin-northern government soldiers
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, Xie Xuan established an army. At that time, Guangling and Jingkou were inhabited by a large number of refugees fleeing the war in the north. Xie Xuan recruited these people, selected warriors such as Liu Laozhi and Emperor Wu of Song, and established Beifu soldiers. In 379 AD, Xie Xuan changed its town to Jingkou. Because Jingkou was also called Beifu soldiers at that time, its army was called Beifu soldiers, and later became the main force of the Southern Dynasties.
In August 383, Fu Jian, a former Qin dynasty, led 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry, and nearly 900,000 troops went south from Chang 'an. Fu Jian declared: "With my million-strong army, even throwing a whip into the Yangtze River is enough to cut off the Yangtze River." Xie Xuan sent Liu Laozhi to attack Luo Jian with 5,000 elite soldiers from the northern government, wiped out 50,000 former Qin Jun and annihilated the enemy1.5,000. The northern government soldiers won the first battle.
In the Battle of Feishui, Xie Xuan's 8,000 North House cavalry took advantage of Fu Jian's army to retreat and stormed the former Qin Jun array. The former Qin Jun collapsed in an instant, and Fu Jian's younger brother Fu Rong also died. Fu Jian himself was shot by an arrow and fled. In the Battle of Feishui, 8,000 soldiers from the northern government defeated Qin Jun's main force. According to historical records, 700,000 people in former Qin Jun were dispersed and annihilated! Fu Jian's dynasty also collapsed. Later, two thousand soldiers from the northern government followed Emperor Wu of Song to Jiankang and proclaimed himself emperor. Soldiers of the northern government have influenced China for decades.
It can be said that which gate valve can control the northern government soldiers is equivalent to controlling the Han regime in the south of the Yangtze River.
Southern Song Dynasty-Yuejia Rebels
Everyone knows that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army", and the "backpack army" in the Yue family army is the elite of the elite!
The leader is Yue Yun. Regarding the explanation of the defeated army, the descendants of Yue Fei said in the 22nd edition of Debate on Huaixi in the Jin Dynasty in Hubei Province: "The person who took the blame was also my predecessor's pro-army."
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yanwei wrote "Money at the Foot of the Cloud", in which it was recorded: "The soldiers of the Han and Vietnamese armies are particularly skilled, and those who are brave and strong in the army often do not stay with their relatives, which is called piggyback. When they enter the piggyback, the army controls them and rewards them for their courtesy. They are very brave and healthy. Anyone with a strong enemy will be sent back.
There are soldiers 10000, 8000 cavalry and 2000 infantry.
In the battle with the nomads from Yancheng, Yue Fei's armed forces first defeated the elite "Kidnapper Horse" of the nomads from infantry, then stormed the enemy lines with few elite cavalry, and finally defeated the elite cavalry of Wu Shu with fifteen thousand people. Wu Shu sighed: "Since we started from the sea, we have relied on this to win, and now it is gone!"
Yue Fei's memorial says, "Kill thieves and soldiers everywhere."
Of course, Jin Wushu was unwilling to fail, so he rallied 30,000 cavalry to attack Yingchang again, fought a decisive battle with Yue Yun with 800 cavalry, and once again defeated the 8 Jin Jun elite riders in Wu Shu, killing "people with blood, horses with blood", and the large forces followed suit, "killing Wu Shu's husband Xia Jinwu, deputy commander, and fleeing".
In Zhuxian Town, 500 elite soldiers with backs smashed 65438+ Wanjinjun.
No wonder Jin people expressed the feeling that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult for Yue Jiajun to regret it". At that time, Song Jun's fighting capacity has been greatly improved, and fighting with 8 jin j can do no harm. Yue Fei's armored force is a classic example of "the infantry defeated the elite cavalry of the Jin Army in the plain". The myth that "the braid army is less than 10 thousand and invincible" has been broken by back-to-back troops more than once.
These ancient "special forces" in China, like today's special forces, shoulder their own mission. They fought bravely and tenaciously, shouldering the hope of the country and the nation, and can go down in history and be admired by future generations!
