Chapter 58: Reorganization Before Departure (2)
At the end of April, the preparatory work for the second master's entry into Xinjiang was basically in place.
The first rotation training of the Fengtai camp has also come to an end.
From the 80,000 cadets, the second master selected 16,000 of the best male cadets and 4,000 of the best female cadets.
After the 20,000 men were disorganized and mixed, they formed the composition of the North and South Road Guards, and they were to be sent back to the two homeless resettlement points to form a new "New Second Army" and "New Third Army."
It also undertook the task of protecting the road and organizing the formation of the construction corps.
At the same time, the second master ordered them to immediately start the construction of roads and railways on the two routes into Xinjiang after returning to the storage point, so most of the 20,000 people were highly educated student soldiers.
Of course, in the military field, it is still the instructors who have been appointed with experience to teach martial arts or veterans who have outstanding command talent who have distinguished themselves in previous battles.
The second master would not be stupid enough to let a student doll with no actual combat experience command his own legion.
The task of the new army to open the way in the middle to suppress the bandits is not difficult, as long as the gun is loaded, it will kill all the way. However, the tasks of the New Second Army in Ulanqab and the New Third Army in Hanzhong were much more cumbersome and arduous.
So this is the reason why the second master picked out the best cadres and military backbones and sent them back to the two storage points.
The second master formed the skeleton of the five corps according to the three or three formations of the army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad, and the new first army; New Second Army; the New Third Army; and two construction corps in the north and south.
At this point, the basic skeleton of the second master's military group has been built. In the future, according to the needs of the scale, according to the model at any time to increase the scale.
The reason why the brigade-level establishment was abolished was because in the modern wars of the First and Second World Wars, a large number of actual battles proved that in the current stage of war, brigade-level units are a chicken rib.
It cannot accomplish the tasks of division-level units, and there is a huge waste of personnel and equipment when assigned to regiment-level tasks.
Therefore, the second master will directly take one step in place, and from now on the brigade-level establishment will be abolished in his army. As for the resurgence of the 21st century brigade in the future, it is not what his second master should care about.
The formation of the new First Army consisted of three full-strength field divisions and three logistics transport regiments (1,500 vehicles) with a total of 60,000 people. Mortars and machine guns were assigned to the platoon.

May 1, 1915, today is the day of the completion of the Fengtai Camp Training Camp. It is also a day when the officers and men of the whole battalion collectively change their uniforms and confer titles and flags.
Early in the morning, the parade platform of the Fengtai battalion was full of military flags, division flags, and even regimental flags marked with the unique numbers of each unit, and their military flag logos had their own characteristics.
80,000 officers and men were uniformly dressed into black New Army uniforms (SS uniforms), and all soldiers were uniformly issued with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles and 100 rounds of ammunition, M35 steel helmets, sapper shovels, short-top thick-soled combat boots, tactical gloves, tactical cowhide belts, and a full set of soldiers' personal items.
Officers are generals of all ranks, with large-brimmed hats, long leather boots, wide cowhide belts, and M1911A1 semi-automatic pistols.
The whole camp was in black, which was even more solemn!
Today, the Fengtai camp is open to all its staff, but a cordon has been drawn in the ceremonial area, so as not to disturb the venue by the lively people.
Of course, the second master had already ordered people to dismantle all modern military training facilities, and he didn't want the scientific military training facilities that he easily stole to cheapen others, especially small Japan, which was full of spies.
For this reason, before the distribution of equipment, the second master also carried out a large-scale investigation in the army, and he didn't want his advanced equipment to leak in advance.
All officers and soldiers who have calluses on the inside of their thumbs and those who hesitate not shout "The emperor is a dung maggot pest, and the Japanese are a perverted people who are inbred." The officers and soldiers of this slogan were all detained by the second master.
What's even more disgusting is that the second master also made people print this sentence on a large white short-sleeved vest, so that all male and female officers and soldiers took turns to wear it, and everyone took pictures for archiving.
It was the two simple measures of the second master that found out more than 60 people who had inappropriate words and behaviors. And it's 60 people who have performed quite well in training.
The second master had a black face at that time! Whoa! ~~~ Now start mixing sand? The second master instructed Zhang San's guard regiment to take care of the prisoners, (Zhang San has been promoted to the head of the guard regiment directly under the Overseer's Mansion in this reorganization.) Only water is given every day, not food. Anyway, a few days later, the troops were going to sacrifice the military flag.
Zhang Muzhi didn't react to the second master's disposal, he had been to Japan, and he knew very well that eighty percent of these people were Japanese spies. And Chen Shouting and Tan Sanye couldn't bear to persuade the second master, and let him be detained after the trial was clear.
The second master ignored the kindness of the two people, having a good heart is a good character, and the second master is not disgusted with the kindness of others. But there is no such thing as "kindness" here in his second master! His second master only has right and wrong, iron-blooded killing! Kindness, benevolence, and forgiveness of these "monsters" are very extravagant things in the second master's cognition.
The reason why these people were not immediately shot was because a few days later the troops needed to sacrifice flags and shed blood. Yes! The second master is going to "blood sacrifice" this time!
As for whether any of the 60 people were wronged? How can the second master have time to try these.
At least they are literate people who are literate and hyphenated when they enter the camp, and in this period when the Japanese invaded half of the Jiaodong Peninsula without announcing it, and there are anti-Japanese sentiments in the whole of China, it is impossible for you not to know as a cultural person.
Let you shout a few slogans and you hesitate? What do you mean? Even if you are not a spy, you will definitely be a traitor in the future, since you identify with Little Japan, then go underground to identify with it.
The second master didn't care about killing good people by mistake. What's more, whether you are Chinese or not!

May was originally the day for old Beijingers to go green, and today many Beijingers are going out with their families. Because I heard that the team of Zhang Dujun of the Fengtai camp is going to hold a ceremony to award flags and titles today.
Actually, what rituals do people care about you? They just have the idea of watching the excitement, like rushing to the market and the temple fair, and it is rare for the whole family to go out.
At this time, the Nandaying in old Beijing was similar to the temple fair. There are small trading stalls outside the camp, and the entire Fengtai camp is overcrowded, so it's not lively.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhang San's guard regiment was dispatched to carry out safety patrols.
I saw that in the crowd of the Nanda Battalion, there were neat queues everywhere, patrols with loaded guns and ammunition. The frightened local ruffians, thieves and gangsters all died down and did not dare to make a mistake.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the assembly horn of the Nanda Battalion sounded. All of a sudden, groups of neatly dressed soldiers ran out of the barracks, and quickly gathered towards the large playground in company and platoon.
After a while, the huge training ground of the southern camp was filled with square camps arranged in vertical and horizontal lines.
The 80,000 officers and men who were neatly arranged in the audience were silent, and one by one they stood upright and stared at the rostrum. This solemnity even brought the common people inside and outside the camp to gradually quiet down in this solemn atmosphere.
In a burst of "upright" passwords, the collective upright "bang! Boom! The sound of clinking boots resounded over the entire Nanda camp. The second master wore a formal general's uniform and stepped onto the viewing platform.
Originally, this product also wanted to say, "Comrades, have worked hard!" What about the opening remarks! On second thought, pull it down! In this open school yard with no amplification equipment, the pit is afraid that his voice will dissipate with the wind within 20 meters.
Everything is exempt, and the flag and title ceremony will begin. As the supreme commander of the Xinjiang Military Group, the second master is only responsible for the flag and title awarding ceremonies at and above the division level, and other grassroots organizations are in charge of their direct commanders.
This time, the second master adopted the military rank system of the previous republic.
The highest position of a soldier is the squad leader, and the rank of a soldier has nothing to do with the position, mainly depending on the length of service, from low to high: private; Private General, Corporal, Sergeant, Sergeant, Sergeant Major IV, Sergeant Major III, Sergeant Major II, Sergeant Major I I.
Officers must have graduated from a military academy or are recognized by the army as having actual combat experience and a certain command ability, which is also a mandatory rule of the second master for the Xinjiang Legion. The main correspondence between military rank and job rank is as follows, from low to high - second lieutenant (platoon); Lieutenant (Deputy Company); Captain (full company, deputy battalion);
Major (Full-time Duty)
Lieutenant Colonel (Deputy Regiment)
Colonel (regimental rank, deputy division rank)
Colonel (Teacher)
Major General (Deputy Military Rank, Full Military Rank)
Lieutenant General (Deputy Military Region)
General (Chia Tai Military Region)
The highest military rank awarded by the second master this time is the rank of major general, and only two people have been awarded this rank.
One is Zhang Muzhi, the major general of the New First Army, and the other is Mr. Bellman, the director of the Xinjiang Military Factory, a major general engineer. Both of them are people who have made outstanding contributions to the community.
