"Colleagues, I would like to announce the completion of the expansion and establishment of the New Army of the Armed Wing, which has been calculated and planned by our General Staff Department and submitted to the General Assembly for approval. Everyone, please take note. "Lao Duan's style has always been so concise and bright, and there is no meaning of dragging mud and water" The new army of our armed wing will be divided into three parts, namely, field troops, directly administered troops, and patrol troops. ”

"First of all, let's talk about the field troops. Externally, it is the six towns of our Wuyi New Army, that is, the left town of Major General Wu Luzhen and Wu Shouqing, the right town of Major General Du Yunhua and Du Zicheng, the middle town represented by Major General Xiao Mingfeng and Xiao Huaiyuan, the former town of Brigadier General Blue Sky Xiuhao, the back town of Brigadier General Wu Peifu and Wu Ziyu, and the wing town of Brigadier General Zhang Shaozeng and Brigadier General Zhang Jingyu. The field troops are divided into three classes, and the left and right towns are first-class armies, and each town has 3 infantry standards, 1 artillery standard, 1 baggage standard, 1 battalion directly under it, and 1 special service team, with a total of 15,126 people. The front, rear and wing towns are the second class army, and the backbone sergeants and officers are maintained in peacetime, and each town has 3 infantry standards, 1 baggage standard (no cavalry establishment), and 1 battalion directly under its jurisdiction, which are not incorporated into artillery standards and aircraft for the time being, and the total number of people is 7,542. Zhongzhen is an ad hoc army, under the jurisdiction of 3 infantry standards, 1 baggage standard, 1 artillery standard (equipped with the Japanese heavy artillery introduced by the imperial court), 1 Mongolian cavalry standard (6 cavalry battalions), 1 battalion directly under the jurisdiction, temporarily not incorporated into aircraft and German heavy artillery, the total number of 16,337 people. A total of 69,125 people from the above 6 towns are our field troops" Duan Qirui raised his eyelids, glanced at the surrounding generals, and saw that no one was talking to each other, all of them were carefully recorded, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then continued to read.

"The troops directly under the central government are the troops under the personal command of the General Seat, namely: the training team of the Wuyi New Army led by Brigadier General He Dazhuang and Colonel Wang Kai, with 762 people; The Wuyi New Army Recruit Training Headquarters under the jurisdiction of Brigadier General Wu Shouben is divided into four training bases: Lashan, Huamawan, Gaotang, and Jinxiang; The artillery training base of the Wuyi New Army under the jurisdiction of Brigadier General He Lao Bahe has two bases in Lashan and Liangshan, eight heavy artillery battalions and two specialized schools; the logistics training base of the Wuyi New Army under the jurisdiction of Colonel Xu Shuzheng and Xu Youzheng; the independent cavalry standard of the Wuyi New Army under the jurisdiction of Colonel Hulegu; Colonel Fang Zhengping's Presidential Guard of the Armed Forces New Army. The total number of troops in the above establishment is 13,510, which is directly under the central government and directly obeys the orders of the general seat. ”

"The patrol force is managed by divisions, and nine divisions are set up, namely Jinan, Dongchang, Wuding, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Yizhou, Yanzhou, Caozhou, and Tai'an, with 3-5 light infantry battalions under the jurisdiction of each patrol area, and 6 battalions in the Jinan patrol area, with 1,900 to 3,200 people in each district. A total of 25,400 people. The patrol force is headed by Mr. Wei Keren and Wei Fuli, Shandong League Training Ambassador and Director of the Police Preparatory Office. ”

After announcing the establishment of the unit and the commander-in-chief, Duan Qirui explained the weapons and equipment that everyone was more concerned about, "At present, the field units of our army have been reequipped. The standard rifle uniformly uses the "Qin crossbow" 7.62mm rotary bolt machine rifle, the infantry platoon light machine gun is an improved Danish Madsen light machine gun of the same caliber, and the team heavy machine gun is an imitation Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun of the same caliber. In addition, there are 50 grenadiers and imitation 9 mm barge pistols, and these light weapons have already been distributed to various field units. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, sir." The two columns of generals stood up and answered, and Wu Chenxuan waved his hand in satisfaction, motioning for everyone to sit down and talk.

"I'll talk about heavy weapons." Wu Chenxuan gave Duan Qirui an apologetic smile, Duan Zhiquan nodded slightly, signaling that he already knew, and then closed the folder, sat back in his position, and took out a fountain pen from his chest pocket and began to record.

"First of all, I have to apologize to all the generals, although the military industry is very hard, but our funds are limited, and some raw materials in the factory also have to rely on imports, so we can only first equip the left and right towns with artillery, and the infantry guns and battalion artillery in other towns can be distributed before the third quarter of this year, but large-caliber field artillery and howitzers have to wait for the shipping schedule, and it is estimated that they will not be equipped until next year. The brethren in the front, back, and wing three towns should take care of one or two. ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Lan Xiuhao, Wu Ziyu, and Zhang Jingyu hurriedly stood up, and Wu Chenxuan smiled and waved his hand, motioning for them to sit down.

"Weapons can wait, but people can't." Wu Chenxuan's face was solemn, "All units should base themselves on realistic equipment, practice more, think more, discuss more, and practice more. As a field force, whether or not we can attack, defend, and retreat has a direct bearing on the success or failure of our armed wing new army. Although there are not many wars now, as a field army, the troops you bring out must be tigers who "come when called, can fight when they come, and can win in battle." At the same time, I would like to remind everyone not to blindly compare the number of people and rely on equipment, in the final analysis, "soldiers are expensive, not too expensive". Whoever can be as brave and tenacious as a tiger, as invincible as a pack of wolves, even if it is as brave as a wild boar, is a successful commander. As long as the troops have spirit, temperament, and military spirit, then this army will live, and you are all the first commanders of this army, and it can be said that these troops are the children you raised, and whether they can become talents depends on your training. Therefore, the performance of every soldier in your army is not only related to the image of a platoon and a platoon, but also to the honor of each of you and the honor of our entire Wuyi New Army!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been five years and seven months since the dozens of guns in the insurance regiment have been carried out by dozens of people. During this time, everyone's efforts are something that our army will always remember. Some of you abandoned your family and business to join the Wuyi New Army, some gave up more generous treatment to come to our Wuyi New Army, and some of you built shacks together, pushed mills, and built dormitories brick by brick from the beginning of your business, and came with me all the way. To this day, not a single officer smokes a lot, not a single officer drinks the blood of a soldier, not a single officer is greedy for life and is afraid of death, and not a single officer defects to the enemy. I am very fortunate to have your good brothers, good officers like you, and good soldiers who strictly abide by military discipline, train hard, and dare to fight. If you want me to say, no matter how the situation changes below, as long as we brothers can help each other in the same boat, work together, and do not slacken, be proud, and not be discouraged, there will be no battle in the world that we dare not fight, and there will be no enemy that we dare not win. Brothers, since everyone has paid, we must reap something, and we must give full play to the results of our hard training in ordinary times, so that all people can see that we are the truly invincible and invincible soldiers of Shandong -- the Wuyi New Army!"

After saying this, even Xu Shuzheng, who had been with some wandering eyes, felt his blood boiling, and he really couldn't see that this profiteer was actually a general who was good at boosting morale. Not to mention, this impromptu speech made the commanders of all units excited and couldn't help themselves, and applauded desperately, in the small conference hall of more than 20 people, the applause was louder than that of a team of soldiers, and the guards standing guard outside all looked at each other, not understanding what was going on inside?

Duan Zhiquan secretly gave a thumbs up, that's it, although this one is young, sometimes a little unreliable, but the key is that he can grasp people's hearts, and the thoughts of these young generals in front of him have all been instigated by this guy, and they have no personality on weekdays, and they all have a red face and a thick neck. I believe that even now, if Wu Chenxuan gives an order and asks them to raise the flag to rebel, they will not hesitate to lead the team to rush to the Beijing Division.

Wu Chenxuan was also moved by his words, he was accustomed to the deceit and dirty tricks in the mall on weekdays, and he rarely burst out of his iron-blooded man's true colors, so he simply continued:

"This time we secretly participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and if we did, it would probably take a year and a half. In order to ensure the victory of this war, I would like to make three requests here. Wu Chenxuan said this, and the generals and civil officials on both sides stood up in unison, respectfully listening to the young chief's speech.

"First, we must establish self-confidence, maintain high morale and full spirit. Whether in the war zone or in the defense zone, obey orders, obey commands, advance and retreat with evidence, and dare to sacrifice! I require all soldiers below me to strictly observe military discipline, to carry out orders that are understood and not understood, and that those who disobey orders will not be treated leniently.

Second, grass-roots officers and noncommissioned officers should give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role, and in the war they should rush to the front, stay at the front, and retreat to the rear; what I hope to hear is "follow me" instead of "give me up"; the tactical and technical backbone of the platoon should take the initiative to cooperate with the commander-in-chief, coordinate the actions of the troops, and help the inexperienced recruits complete their tasks on time.

Third, it is necessary to have a high degree of secrecy in mind; all the troops participating in the battle must follow the name of the Volunteer Army, and will never recognize the identity of the new armed forces, and all units must ensure that no one is left behind or defects. In addition, as long as there are conditions, we must bring our brothers back, whether it is the wounded or the remains of fallen soldiers, we must treat them as our own brothers.

Will the brethren be able to fulfill these requirements?"

"You can do it, sir!" All the generals replied in unison. Since then, there have been two regulations in the Wuyi New Army that have not been written into military regulations, one is that grassroots officers and sergeants can only say "follow me", never say "give me up"; The second is that no matter how fierce the battle is, as long as there is an opportunity, the new army will never abandon any brother, even if it is a stump that has been blown into several pieces by a cannonball.

Although such rules made the casualties of the Armed Forces New Army, and later the junior officers and sergeants of the Wehrmacht, higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and because of the frequent new casualties caused by the rescue and search for the wounded and the remains. However, these two iron laws have become the creed of every soldier of the Wuyi New Army, so no matter how difficult and tragic the war is experienced in the future, there has never been an disorderly rout or defection to the enemy of the Wuyi New Army of more than one team.
