The establishment of female soldiers is followed by the establishment of health workers, which is more important than that of female soldiers.

Before the expansion of the KPA, there was no establishment of medical personnel, and once a soldier was injured, he had to be treated by a medical team.

With the expansion of the KPA, the size of the medical team cannot be expanded much for the time being, and in the future battles with the Ming army, the KPA will have more casualties, and the medical team will not be able to run out of manpower.

Increasing the number of hygienists in the KPA does not require much medical skills, as long as they can handle simple external injuries, and if the soldiers are injured, they will first be treated by the medical staff, and then the medical team will treat them, so as to solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the medical team.

According to Fang Nan's plan, it was planned to equip each squad of the People's Army with one hygienist, or the standard number of each squad was twelve, and a soldier was selected to be simply trained by the medical team to become a hygienist, and the hygienist was also required to undergo combat training.

The expansion plan of the People's Army was set by Fang Nan, and there are still two most important problems to be solved, one is to find enough troops to complete the expansion, and the other is to find a place for the People's Army.

The solution to the problem of finding enough soldiers to expand the number of soldiers is to first recruit mountain people who are willing to join the army from various villages in the deep mountains and integrate them into the people's army, and then expand one company at a time, and then start training after each company is expanded.

If the mountain people in the mountains are unable to meet the needs of the People's Army, the next step is to search for soldiers from the villages in the area around the mountains until the expansion is completed.

The plan is to expand from 136 people in a company to 1,474 people in a regiment, and if it is allowed, Fang Nan will also increase the establishment of the People's Army, even if the tiger head gun is not enough, the soldiers who do not have the tiger head gun can serve as officers in the cold weapon army formed in the future.

As for the question of where the People's Army is stationed, the People's Army, which originally had only one company, has been stationed in Hutou Village, but as the People's Army exterminated the four bandits and brought many bandits and their families to Hutou Village, the population of Hutou Village has exceeded 2,500.

At present, the main task of Hutou Village is to build weapons for the People's Army, and when the People's Army is not formed, it will build a tiger head gun every two months, and produce at least 30 tiger head guns every month.

After the formation of the People's Army, Hutouzhai added a new task, to build spears, spears are the main weapons of the future People's Army's cold weapon troops, to create thousands of spears.

Due to the task of crafting spears, the production of Tiger Guns no longer increases, but the production of Tiger Guns has increased to one per month.

With the People's Army bringing many bandits and bandits' families to Hutou Village, the labor force has increased greatly, and the production of steel has also increased, and the output of tiger head guns has increased from 30 per month to at least 40 per month, and it is still growing, it is now the middle of the 12th year of Wanli, and at the end of the year, the monthly output of tiger head guns is expected to reach 50.

It can even be said that now that the labor force of Hutou Village is somewhat rich, Fang Nan will arrange some young labor force to join the People's Army, and it will have no impact on the increase in the production capacity of Hutou guns.

Hutou Village, which has a population of more than 2,500 people, is already a small town in the outside world, and Hutou Village can continue to expand and live more people, but it does not mean that Hutou Village is suitable for stationing more people's army.

The most important task of the People's Army is training, the training ground must be flat, the largest and most flat land in Hutou Village is farmland, the People's Army cannot occupy the farmland of Hutou Village for training, the People's Army is stationed in Hutou Village at most 200 people, can maintain daily training, by the way to protect Hutou Village, maintain public order, guard bandits and bandits' families.

After the expansion of the People's Army, Fang Nan planned to station the regimental headquarters of the People's Army Firearms Regiment, a reconnaissance platoon of 38 people, a female platoon of 38 people, and an artillery company of 117 people, a total of 193 people, in Hutou Village.

The regiment headquarters has a station, and the three battalions have not yet been stationed, Fang Nan thought of the cottage where the four bandits who were exterminated by the People's Army lived, after the People's Army exterminated the bandits, they did not set fire to the cottage, and it was easy to cause a fire if they set fire to the deep mountains, and the preserved cottage was just used to station the People's Army.

The first two exterminated bandits lived in smaller cottages, and the last two bandits' cottages each had no problem stationing a battalion, and there was still a place for military training.

The KPA does not need a large flat land for military training, and only needs small flat areas of flat land that are scattered out to conduct military training in platoons or even squads.

The cottage of the four bandits is enough to house the three battalions of the People's Army, plus the Hutou Village, and the temporary garrison of the People's Army is set in these places.

After Fang Nan finalized the plan for the expansion of the People's Army, he immediately summoned Hu Zhuang, Wang Shengrong, Zhou Yi, He Yan, and other principal officers to discuss the expansion of the People's Army.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Fang Nan told the plan to others, the supreme leader of the People's Army is Fang Nan alone, and no one's prestige in the team can threaten Fang Nan's position, after all, the managers in the second echelon of the team are all students taught by Fang Nan, and the students are used to obeying Fang Nan's orders.

Of course, Fang Nan also knew that the students could not be assertive, and after the expansion of the People's Army for a period of training, Fang Nan would let the People's Army take the battalion or company as a unit to attack alone to exterminate the bandits, so as to train students and better deal with the Ming Dynasty army in the future.

"It has been eight months since the formation of the People's Army, and in the past eight months, the People's Army has been growing rapidly, and in the next four months, four gangs of bandits have been exterminated, which shows that the People's Army has a strong combat effectiveness.

But the People's Army also has a very big flaw, that is, the number of people, in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, the People's Army needs to expand in size, now is the time, I plan to expand the current company of the People's Army into a regiment of 1474 people......"

Hearing Mr. Fang Nan's words, Hu Zhuang, Wang Shengrong and others were overjoyed, the People's Army exterminated four groups of bandits in a row, and the number of the fourth group of bandits was more than double the number of the People's Army, and they were still easily exterminated by the People's Army.

As officers of the People's Army, they felt that the People's Army was powerful, and with the same number, the Ming Dynasty army would not be the opponent of the People's Army, and the People's Army could even defeat enemies several times their size.

But this alone is not enough, the enemy of the People's Army, the Ming Dynasty army, is too huge, with hundreds of thousands of nearly a million soldiers, nearly 10,000 times the number of the People's Army, and no matter how strong the People's Army is, it is impossible for the People's Army to defeat 10,000 people.

Hu Zhuang, Wang Shengrong and others knew that the number of people was the biggest flaw of the People's Army, and the People's Army needed to expand its scale, so they had long wanted to expand the People's Army, and if Fang Nan was one or two months late, they would take the initiative to propose it to Fang Nan.

Finally, the People's Army is about to expand, and the People's Army has taken another big step forward on the road to overthrowing the Ming Dynasty!
