In the next few days, Lin Ziran successively got the news that Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong had joined forces in the county town and fought with Luo Haijun and Li Dingjun's coalition forces.

However, the scale of the battle was not large, only a battle with thousands of participants, although the coalition of Li Dingjun and Luo Haijun won, but it could not change the current situation in the county too much.

The people of Guang'an still stood still in Pingdan County, and Zhao Song fell silent in the northwest.

Regarding the current situation, Lin Ziran also ignored it and only followed his own plan.

Regardless of how to fight outside, the most important thing is to develop himself, and he needs to make the existing troops combat effective in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, once the winner is divided by the county town, no matter who wins, Lin Ziran will face great pressure at that time, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be defeated and killed.

Lin Ziran knew that there was not much time left for him.

On the outskirts of the northeastern part of Sanyo Town, it was once a small village, but now it has become a huge barracks for a supplementary brigade, where thousands of soldiers are undergoing intense training.

In order to speed up the progress of training, and at the same time, recruits are recruited and supplemented every day, so Lin Ziran did not stubbornly adopt unified training, but trained in batches according to the time when the recruits participated in the morning and evening.

On the edge of the training ground, Wu Guanlin walked over and said: "My lord, now that the Sixth Infantry Battalion is full, all the recruits in the battalion have completed the initial recruit training, and now they are already being assigned to the army for tactical training. ”

Wu Guanlin said as he pointed to a few small phalanxes in front of him, where the three infantry companies of the Sixth Infantry Battalion were training in separate formations.

Lin Ziran was also watching the training of the Seventh Infantry Battalion at this time, and said while watching: "The Sixth Infantry Battalion was able to complete the training of recruits so quickly, which is beyond my expectations, Brother Wu, you are also fortunate!" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "These are the efforts of the colleagues in the training department below, and they dare not take credit for their humble positions!" ”

Lin Ziran's recruitment of recruits and the training of recruits were separated.

Recruitment is the responsibility of the Recruitment Section of the Supervision and Training Office, and the recruitment of recruits is transferred to the recruit camp, and the Training Section of the General Staff Office is responsible for the one-month training of recruits.

After the training is completed, these recruits will be added to the troops.

However, in practice, because the pace of army expansion is too fast, the speed of replenishing new recruits in the new barracks is far from keeping up with the speed of the expansion of the newly formed troops.

In order not to affect the formation of the newly formed troops, and also to familiarize the officers and soldiers in the army earlier, Lin Ziran has slightly changed the rules for recruit training and supplementation recently.

Of course, the rules are still the same as they were.

After recruiting, the recruits were still assigned to the recruit camp for a month of training, but during the training of the recruit camp, the officers and key sergeants of the 6th Infantry Battalion were allowed to join in and lead the training.

Now, after the initial training of recruits, the more than 500 recruits needed by the Sixth Infantry Battalion have all completed the most basic recruit training and were officially incorporated into the Sixth Infantry Battalion just yesterday.

To some extent, the 6th Infantry Battalion can be regarded as officially formed.

The speed at which this infantry battalion was formed was also the first pure new unit to be formed in recent times.

In fact, none of the previous five infantry battalions were pure new troops, and they were basically split and expanded from the original infantry battalions.

However, later, the proportion of veterans has dropped to a low level, and if the old units continue to be expanded in the same number, it is estimated that the first and second old infantry battalions will have to become new battalions.

In desperation, the two infantry battalions, the Sixth Infantry Battalion and the Seventh Infantry Battalion, could only adopt a purely new formation.

Except for officers and non-commissioned officers, ordinary soldiers are recruits.

It seems that the spirit is not bad now, and the line column is barely okay, and it is estimated that it is barely okay to pull it out to scare people when the time comes.

As for really letting them go to war, it's a bit unreliable for the time being.

Even line infantry, which has relatively low requirements for soldiers, must go through at least three months of rigorous training before they can be pulled out to fight.

Lin Ziran retracted his gaze towards the Sixth Infantry Battalion and continued to say to Wu Guanlin: "By the way, how is the situation on the Seventh Infantry Battalion?" ”

The 7th Infantry Battalion was stationed in Nanguang City before, and now it has been incorporated into the 2nd Infantry Regiment, but the situation of this 7th Infantry Battalion was the same as that of the 6th Infantry Battalion before, most of them were recruits.

I also went to Nanguang City to continue training, and I don't know if I became an army.

Wu Guanlin said: "As for the Seventh Infantry Battalion, it is estimated that it will take a few days to complete all the recruit training, and the replenishment of troops over there is a little later than that of the Sixth Infantry Battalion. ”

Lin Ziran said: "I'm not afraid to be a few days late, but we must ensure the quality of training, during the training of recruits, physical fitness and discipline are the top priority, and we must not be left behind, and we can't be the same as the previous Third Infantry Battalion, and we can't do any tactical training before the physical fitness is up, and tactics without physical support are meaningless." ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Don't worry, my lord, on the side of the Sixth Infantry Battalion, my colleagues in the training department are also watching in person, and everything is carried out in accordance with our training drills." ”

Wu Guanlin actually attaches more importance to the physical training of the soldiers than Lin Ziran.

For the physical strength of the soldiers was the basis for the execution of many of the tactics he had assigned to the supplementary brigades.

Among the many tactics he assigned to the supplementary brigade, the detour tactic is the core tactical concept, not only the line duel on the frontal battlefield, or the ambush operation or the skirmish operation, which are all different forms of combat, but the core tactical concept is still a roundabout tactic.

What is the most important thing about roundabout tactics?

Avoid the enemy's frontal heavy group, take a detour from the flank, find and attack the enemy's flank and rear weak points to cause the collapse of the enemy's entire front.

To make a side detour, the ability to maneuver is very important.

Can't even run, and still fart?

The 6th Infantry Battalion barely became an army, but it still had to be trained for a long time with other units, and the 2nd Artillery Battalion and part of the baggage troops, as well as the 3rd Cavalry Company, are now training in the northeastern barracks of Sanyang Town.

Seeing that these troops were almost full, even if they had not yet formed an army, Lin Ziran still started a new plan.

Lin Ziran said to Wu Guanlin: "What are the preparations for the preliminary training of the Eighth Infantry Battalion and the Ninth Infantry Battalion? ”

Wu Guanlin said: "The training preparations of these two battalions are almost done, but the equipment is still poor, and it is also more difficult to recruit soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Lin Ziran said: "Don't worry about the equipment, the Ordnance Department will be responsible for preparing the required equipment in advance, if there is a problem with soldiers, this is a troublesome matter, and now the qualified soldiers in the surrounding areas are almost all recruited by us!" ”
