Chapter 141: Determining Military Ranks
On the fourth day of the competition, it was the last competition, the content of the competition was survival in the wild, and the candidates for the participation were the top 20 in each individual competition.
In the first three days of the competition, Sun Hongye's Heilongjiang Military Region won the most awards in individual competitions, while the Fujian and Pudong Military Regions in charge of Jiang Fangzhen won the most awards in teamwork.
This made Sun Zhiheng, who has always been optimistic, unable to hang his face, and the rectification meeting was held all night after the game, and the senior officers of Nanyang were scolded by Sun Zhiheng for being bloody, and the resolution to increase the training content was also forced to pass at the meeting, in short, the officers and soldiers of Nanyang will not have a good time in the future.
In fact, we can't blame the soldiers of Nanyang, war can stimulate the potential of human beings, and compared with the two military regions in China, the soldiers of Nanyang are precisely the troops that have experienced the least war, and some things can not be done by training alone.
Sun Hongye's subordinates are not lacking in the disciples of martial arts masters in Hebei and Shandong, so it is understandable that he has the advantage in a single item, and although Jiang Fangzhen is not a later strategist, he also pays the most attention to the mutual cooperation between fighters, and it is understandable that he has won the most awards in team competitions.
This competition is also equivalent to an exchange between the various military regions of the Baath Party, and the senior officers have also discovered the strengths and weaknesses of their own troops, so that they have a clear direction for the future building of the troops, and the focus of training has also been delineated, so that they can design a more scientific and rational training plan for their own troops, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
Chen Xuan is also thinking about whether the army in Nanyang should also be appropriately transferred to China to participate in the war, after all, no matter how well you train, it is training after all, compared with the troops who have participated in the war, there is still less murderousness, less determination, and less ambition to go forward!
For the last wilderness survival route, Chen Xuan didn't dare to casually draw a line on the map and let the team participate in it as before, but selected a route that was not so dangerous, and had already sent team members who had participated in the training before to walk it twice.
Moreover, the number of rescuers has also increased greatly to avoid unnecessary casualties, after all, most of the people who participated in the wilderness survival this time have not undergone special training.
There are 1,200 people who participated in the wilderness, this time there is no time limit, the distance is 150 miles, only the top 800 are selected, and the rest will return to the original unit, and these 800 are only the reserve candidates of the special operations team, and in Chen Xuan's plan, about 300 people will be eliminated in the future training.
"Brute Bull, guess what you can do in this survival training?"
Seeing that Sun Zhiheng still had a stinky face, Chen Xuan couldn't help but tease him.
"Humph!"
Sun Zhiheng snorted and didn't speak, obviously still haunted by his previous achievements.
"If you want me to say that Ah Heng's team is already elite, if we had such a team during the north-south peace talks, we wouldn't be bullied like that by Yuan Shikai, you really want to talk about peace, there is no way, the entire domestic front has not been able to beat the Beiyang Army, what should we do? Is it really for everyone to be fearlessly sent to death? β
Chen Qimei looked at Sun Zhiheng's army with some envy and said, the more he knew about the power of the Nanyang Baxing Party, the more shocked Chen Qimei became, and he was even more shocked when he saw Sun Zhiheng's army, not to mention that there were two military regions in China that were stronger than this army.
Originally, after seeing Xiao Jin's troops, Chen Qimei already had the feeling of being a hero in the world, but she never thought that compared with it now, Xiao Jin's troops are probably on par with Sun Zhiheng's troops, not to mention that the Baath Party still has two strong troops in the country.
Moreover, Xiao Jin was almost completely driven out of the country, Guangdong had already been stationed by the Beiyang Army, and less than half of Guangxi was left, and the Baath Party had two complete provinces in China, and I don't know how many forces in the shadows there were? Does it depend on warlords like Tang Jiyao and Xiong Kewu?
"Big brother doesn't have to comfort me, compared to the other two brother troops, our Nanyang Legion has indeed been left behind too much, the ancients said: shame and courage, I want to see what they will do in the future?"
Sun Zhiheng stared fiercely at a group of officers under him and said, these officers were red-faced, but they couldn't find words to excuse themselves.
At the end of the two-day wilderness survival training, Sun Zhiheng's subordinates finally moved a city for themselves, and 360 of the 800 Nanyang sergeants who passed the assessment passed, and Sun Zhiheng's face finally became less stinky.
"Ah Heng, amazing, my Southeast Military Region has only passed more than 200 people, and you are almost twice as many as us!"
"Brother Fang Zhen, we have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, if it is held in Fujian, we will definitely lose even more!"
"Otherwise, let's make the martial arts conference a permanent one, once a year, next year in Fujian, the year after next in the Northeast, what do you think?"
"Wait, wait!"
Hearing the conversation between Sun Zhiheng and Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Xuan spoke:
"I don't have so much money for you to hold the competition, this competition cost more than 100,000 yuan, Senior Brother Jinglai is already extremely dissatisfied, if it is held every year, Senior Brother Jinglai will not eat me?"
"Instructor, if we do it in the future, we don't need to send so many people, each military region will send 500 people, and it won't cost much money for the military region to build the competition venue."
Sun Hongye also said with great interest.
Sun Zhiheng Military Headquarters Conference Room.
There will be stars in the conference room, Jiang Fangzhen, Sun Zhiheng, Sun Hongye, Tan Fangcheng, Zhang Xing, Chen Qicai, Li Qingquan, Qi Baicheng, Ao Dongxun, Feng Gu, Huang Xun, Qi Liyuanγγγγγγ
Chen Qicai also joined the army of the Baath Party under the persuasion of Chen Xuan, Chen Qimei and others, and was officially appointed as the general political commissar of the whole army of the Baath Party.
"Everyone!" Chen Qicai pushed the round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Now that the Baath Party's army has been completely regularized, it is no longer as chaotic as before, according to my experience in managing the army over the years, I have to say that your military system of divisions, regiments, battalions, and companies is very forward-looking, and it has been ahead of the armies of the whole country and even most countries in the world, making the command of the army more flexible." β
"However, it is not without loopholes, you are all senior generals who have led troops or are leading troops, so I gathered everyone today to listen to everyone's opinions, to see how the troops under a unit are placed, how to equip firepower, etc., for example, how many artillery, how many engineers, and how many baggage troops a division is equipped with, you can discuss this."
"Commissar, the more the better!"
Ao Dongxun said with a laugh.
"That's not right!" Jiang Fangzhen retorted: "The unreasonable military system not only cannot give full play to the combat power of the troops, but will drag down the troops, for example, if you give you an artillery regiment in one division, then your troops don't have to fight, just carrying artillery shells is enough to drag your troops down, as well as food and other baggage, do you still have the manpower to fight, as long as the enemy is close, you have to disarm the whole army!" β
Everyone laughed, and Ao Dongxun touched his nose, a little embarrassed.
"That's what I said, of course it can't be equipped like this."
"I suggest that a division be equipped with an independent artillery battalion, under the command of the division headquarters, but it does not mean that there is no artillery at the regimental level, there can also be an artillery company at the regimental level, and so on, and the same goes for baggage soldiers and engineers!"
Sun Hongye didn't care about Ao Dongxun, who was a little embarrassed, and said.
"This establishment is good, not only to ensure the combat strength of the troops, but also to ensure the replenishment of artillery fire, if necessary, the division headquarters can also transfer the artillery of each regiment and battalion to use together!"
"This is good!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Good! In addition, the northeast is different from other places, because it is close to Suiyuan and Mongolia, there is no shortage of war horses, so how to use cavalry to cooperate with the battle will be handed over to Commander Sun to explore, and summarize the plan for everyone to study and learn! β
"Yes! Instructor! β
Most of these high-ranking officers came out of the earliest Chuansha Guard School, so it is still customary to call Chen Xuan an instructor.
"There is also the issue of military rank, although we have a lot of troops, but the military rank has not been solved, we do not engage in the set of military ranks with military positions, and the military rank must be supported by military merits, that is to say, your position is a division commander, but it is possible that your military rank is still a second lieutenant lieutenant, our Baath Party troops will never allow you to sing a song and dance to be a colonel general, you can ask for a military rank, take your military merits in exchange!"
Except for Chen Xuan, no one present may know what he meant by what he said later, but they clearly knew that in order to have a military rank, they must have military merits, and it is completely useless to rely on connections to find relationships.
Chen Xuan continued to shamelessly steal and use the ranks of the army in later generations, and he didn't even let go of the epaulette symbol, and let everyone add it if he couldn't remember it clearly.
As a result, the ranks of the Baath Party were newly released, and the highest rank was general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, sergeant, sergeant, corporal, and private.
In the early stage of the Xinhai Revolution, there were wars, and military exploits have been recorded, according to statistics, the highest is Sun Hongye, who was promoted to major, followed by Jiang Fangzhen and Tan Fangcheng and Han Sanlin, Li Jinxu, awarded the title of captain, and the lowest is Sun Zhiheng, Sun Zhiheng participated in and commanded the battle to exterminate the Nima family and some payment operations, so the title is only sergeant, and even the lieutenant cannot be reached.
Chen Qicai was even more miserable, his position was the general political commissar of the whole army, but he had no military merits, because he cooperated with Du Yuesheng to install officers in the Qing army, so he was only awarded the second class merit and the rank of sergeant.
At this time, Sun Zhiheng was dissatisfied, and strongly asked to be transferred to China, where did the military merits come from without the war in Nanyang, could it be done with the Dutch! The point is that the Military Commission does not agree either!
