The eighth phase of the Suiying Academy, or Luo'an Military Academy, was the first time that students were recruited from the whole county after Lin Ziran entered the county and the Suiying Academy was renamed 'Luo'an Military Academy', and the number of students in this phase was quite large, with more than 400 people.

From the number of more than 400 people, it can also be seen how large Lin Ziran's power expansion is, and people's attitude towards him has changed from a small feudal town to a county feudal town.

In the past, there were no more than 100 students in each phase of the Suiying Academy, and there were dozens of them when there were few, and the enrollment work was not easy.

As a result, the graduates of the first six batches and the students who are still studying in the seventh phase are all added together, and there are only more than 700 people......

But now in the eighth phase, more than 400 people are directly enrolled, and when the enrollment was done before, more than 2,000 people came to report, and these 400 people were still selected for admission.

As a fourth-term student, Tang Xilin's promotion speed is not slow, and the position he holds in the First Infantry Battalion is not light, and if such a person wants to continue to be promoted, he must not become a young military lord at the age of twenty.

Today's young people are terrible!

Wu Guanlin thought about these things in his heart, but Lin Ziran obviously didn't have so many worries about Wu Guanlin.

Now he appoints the officers under his command, and the principle is simple: meritocracy under cronyism!

Only use the lineage, and only reuse the capable ones in the lineage!

Non-descendant generals don't need to be talented or not, and those officers who surrender, no matter what talent they have, will be placed under house arrest.

Even if an officer who takes the initiative to surrender to sincerity, it is for an idle and vacant officer, and those who have a better attitude and do have some ability are given to deputy or staff positions.

But they will definitely not be allowed to lead troops!

This is Lin Ziran's biggest change in personnel appointments in recent months!

This is from the fact that almost all the officers leading the troops in today's Luo'an garrison, even if it is a platoon commander, are all from the camp academy, of course, there are still relatively few formal classes, and most of the grassroots officers are still from the crash course.

Now Lin Ziran would rather use a group of young officers who are only about 20 or even 17 or 8 years old, rather than use those officers who seem to be professional officers, but are actually not very reliable to surrender or surrender.

Although Tang Xilin is young, it has been less than a year since he led the army, but in Lin Ziran's opinion, it is not a problem!

Being young also means being more motivated, and as for the lack of experience, it's not bad to take a battalion now, which accumulates a little experience, and it's not difficult to lead a regiment.

Besides, the new and new tactics adopted by the troops under his command Lin Ziran, whether they are marching or fighting, are different from the traditional line troops, that is to say, in fact, many traditional officers have learned in military academies, and the experience accumulated in actual combat is of no use, and it will even be difficult to change because of the rigidity of tactical thinking.

Because in their thinking, line combat is the main mode of warfare, and it is nondescript to get a bunch of stragglers, and it is even more courageous and undignified to fight on their stomachs.

But Tang Xilin and the others learned the new light infantry tactics when they were studying in the camp school, which also led them to think that the battle should be fought like this at the beginning.

These differences are also very important.

These circumstances also led to the fact that even if Lin Ziran wanted to reuse those surrendered or surrendered officers now, he couldn't use them, because they wouldn't command such troops that used new tactics.

If you want to use them, you have to retrain them, and with this effort, Lin Ziran might as well directly recruit young students for training.

In the past few years, he has discovered that many so-called professional officers in other feudal towns are just like that, and they seem to be rich in military theory and combat experience, but they are also rich in experience in surrendering and surrendering.

It is better to directly recruit young students to re-cultivate, although they do not have much experience and various experiences, but it is also easier to cultivate and shape their values.

After all, if you paint on a blank sheet of paper, you can draw whatever you want, and you don't have to worry so much.

The current Tang Xilin is a very typical example, he is young, in fact, it has been less than two years since he entered the Suiying Academy.

The time in the army is short, the combat experience is not very rich, and the command of the troops is also step-by-step, which is not very amazing.

But even so, he is qualified to bring out the tactical style of the First Division, or the tactical style of the new infantry tactics formulated by Wu Guanlin: a roundabout attack!

Today, the troops under Lin Ziran's command, especially the first and second divisions, have adopted breech-loading rifles, new formations, and new light infantry tactics, so their combat style is also quite special.

Especially in offensive operations, the style is particularly obvious, that is, constantly outflanking!

As small as a company, as large as the actions of an entire division, they basically do this, or they will only do this, as for other more flexible tactics, sorry, they have not yet reached that level.

Such a young unit, led by young officers, lacks experience, but the style is peculiar.

Now, in the battle outside the Dingjiang Fortress, the tactical style of the First Division is quite obvious, so that Wu Guanlin was a little speechless after reading it, and couldn't help but say to Lin Ziran: "My lord, the combat style of this First Division is a little stubborn, and it is a roundabout outflanking fight, and now the enemy army doesn't know us very well, so the effect is okay, but once the enemy knows us better, I'm afraid it will be targeted by the enemy!" ”

Lin Ziran smiled and said, "What about it!" ”

Lin Ziran seemed to be smiling and confident, but he was helpless in his heart.

With the quality of these officers at present, it would be very good to be able to play a roundabout outflanking step by step, but if it was a more complex and flexible tactic, it would not be possible to play at all.

The overall tactical quality of the officers cannot keep up, and it is superfluous to talk about advanced tactics.

Besides, the tactic of outflanking sounds simple and seems to be very unoriginal, but when played well, the effect is still very large.

Even outflanking this tactic, if it can be carried forward, then it can form the basis for many tactics.

Therefore, even though the tactical style of the First Division is now very rigid, not very flexible, and the fight is still very stiff, Lin Ziran is still unwilling to change anything and continue to fight like this.

In the short term, I won't toss too much messy tactics.

Not to mention, the effect is quite good now, in the first division, the first step corps responsible for the roundabout assault on the left flank has opened a gap, and other units are also following suit.

Seeing that there was a gap in the defensive line, the enemy once tried to mobilize troops to counterattack and try to fill the gap again, but the First Infantry Corps, as the most elite descendant unit under Lin Ziran, naturally had much stronger combat effectiveness than other troops, especially the concentration of many young and outstanding officers in the camp academy.

There are many people here who are fighting with the idea of fighting for the reunification of Daheng.

They firmly believe that they are fighting for the unification of Daheng, and these enemies on the other side are all Daheng sinners who are blocking the unification of Daheng, even if they will be afraid of this fight, they will still fight desperately.

After the officers and men of the First Division resisted the enemy's counter-replenishment, the breakthrough of the First Division on the whole line was also declared a success!

At about twelve o'clock at noon that day, the officers and men of the 1st Division had already advanced to the head of the Dingjiang fortress and covered the engineering units to carry out operations in order to carry out the blasting!
