Separate Brigade Station. The Independent Brigade is still a regiment, and they are stationed in Xiaoping'an Village. It's a quiet and peaceful village, but these days, a large number of teams come here every day, and the whole village comes alive. Because there were many, many people from the village, this was the first time that the whole village had seen such a large number of people.

"Ding Erxiao." A captain shouted loudly.

"Sir. Arrive. Ding Erxiao stood up and shouted loudly. Many of the teams of the Independent Brigade were wiped out. They have to build on the basis of a new team. As a result, a large number of recruits will be replenished.

"You were appointed as a squad leader. There are fifteen people under your control, teach them your combat skills, teach them well, and promote you as a platoon commander. Can you complete the task? The captain asked.

"This. Sir. This. Ding Erxiao looked at the captain and company commander in embarrassment. It was the first time he had managed so many people, and it was a big problem for him.

After Ding Erxiao was captured by the Independent Brigade, he received an education and became a member of the Red Turban Army. Here, on the contrary, the treatment is very high. The governor gave him a bond of 30 acres of land, saying that he could exchange it for land, and if he didn't exchange it, he could deposit it in the bank and exchange it for interest according to the amount of land. Ding Erxiao didn't care about these, and he didn't care about depositing them in the bank. It was the first time he felt rich. This made him more down-to-earth and more energetic.

"Don't ramble, you know that you have the ability to do it, can you do this?" The captain asked. The captain, who had previously been only a squad leader, was suddenly promoted to company commander, and this was due to the fact that their officers suffered heavy losses, and more than eighty-five percent of the officers were killed. The loss of the grassroots backbone is even greater, and in desperation, the squad leader can only be promoted to company commander. And captive soldiers like Ding Erxiao were also quickly promoted to squad leaders, and if they were good, they would be further promoted to platoon commanders.

"This. Sir, it's okay for me to be a soldier, I'm used to being a soldier. It's a man. As an official, I'm not going to. Ding Erxiao said very crampedly.

"Damn, I used to be a squad leader, I didn't know anything, I didn't come here all at once, you have the ability, what are you afraid of, you touch what that thing is under your pants, if it's still there, be a good squad leader for Lao Tzu, and take care of your soldiers." The soldiers are in charge. I'll give you a platoon leader, Lao Tzu's spit is a nail. The company commander looked at each other and said.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Ding Erxiao saluted, although he was in charge of people for the first time, but since he was in charge, he had to take it well to the end.

"Alright. Go down, go over there, and take care of your people. The company commander said and asked Ding Erxiao to lead the people. In fact, their infantry company, the backbone plus the soldiers is only fifteen people, fifteen people, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to bring the entire team together. But in this case, the independent brigade must also complete the work of restoring its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, because they have heard about the reorganization. If the number of troops is not enough, there may not even be a number.

Yang Village, inside the Field Hospital.

"Lao Pei, your injuries heal quickly, we're going to reorganize." Zhou Cang whispered to Lao Pei.

"Regrouping?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Yes, reorganization, the troops are going to be reorganized. I know that a preliminary plan is this: the first, second, third, and fourth infantry brigades will be reorganized into four infantry divisions, and the troops will be expanded on the original basis, and each infantry division will have two brigades, four infantry regiments, plus a series of other units, and the number will be greatly expanded. Zhou Cang said.

"Then, our independent brigade, our independent brigade is in that unit. Did You Know? Pei Yuanshao asked anxiously.

"I've inquired about this. Our independent brigade, that unit is not divided in. Zhou Cang said.

"What?" Pei Yuanshao became anxious when he heard this, and this was worth it. This kind of thing is a huge blow to him Pei Yuanshao.

"Damn, it can't be like this. Our independent brigade, how much sacrifice has been paid, don't you know it? We're running out of money. Finally met this, this. It doesn't make sense. The chief above can't be unreasonable. Pei Yuanshao said anxiously. All of a sudden, he was pulling his wounds, and he was about to cry out in pain.

"Lao Pei, be quiet, the impact is not good. Again. Zhou Cang said.

And quietly, the blood of the brethren was shed in vain. On the battlefield, don't you know? Many of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms could not be found. Are we worthy of them? After fighting for a long time, damn it, the number is gone. Pei Yuanshao cried and said.

"Lao Pei, you listen to me after speaking, the number of our independent brigade is still there, what I know is that we have become an independent brigade, and the establishment has expanded a lot, and." Zhou Cang saw Pei Yuanshao, who was in a hurry, and said in one breath.

"What?" Pei Yuanshao's mood became very abnormal, because this was good news, and what he heard before was bad news, and the two times twisted on his face, he couldn't cry or laugh. Surprised, he didn't know what to do with his face. The whole person's face looks very distorted.

"What do you say? What have we become? Pei Yuanshao asked loudly.

"Independent Brigade, the number of our Independent Brigade was suddenly upgraded to an Independent Brigade. I heard the staff officer of the headquarters say this, for our operation, the above thinks that our independent brigade has sacrificed too much, so hurry up to replenish our personnel and recover, now we lack too many manpower, too much. Most importantly. Zhou Cang finished his sentence halfway.

"I said, Lao Zhou, why are you like this? I feel uncomfortable when you say half of your words. You hurry up and finish your sentence. Pei Yuanshao said.

"Okay, let's become the strategic reserve of the headquarters, what is the strategic reserve, that is, what is the most critical battle in the future, you will think of us, you say, our equipment can be worse than those infantry divisions?" Zhou Cang said with a smile. He patted Pei Yuanshao's thigh with one hand and said.

"Damn, it's fun. Oops. Pei Yuanshao waved his arm too much excitedly, and suddenly stretched the wound open.

"Lao Pei, Lao Pei, doctor, doctor, this way, this way." Zhou Cang shouted loudly. Pei Yuanshao smiled and shed tears. He was happy, he had never encountered such a thing, and he didn't expect that after a battle, they would become reserves. Strategic Reserve, hearing such a name, Pei Yuanshao was excited. This means that their entire team has been greatly upgraded.

Inside the headquarters, the staff officers were busy. They are getting busier and busier. Why do you say this, because on the one hand, it is necessary to surround and defeat Huangfu Song has become a foregone conclusion, and the three main forces are surrounded here, and they will definitely be able to eat each other, but the problem is that the battle plan for fighting south, especially attacking Handan, must also be implemented as soon as possible, so that many things will become tense. The staff officers are busy with such things.

"Word of the reorganization has spread. Preparations for this have already begun in the various units. However, there are still many problems that need our attention. For example, the issue of the backbone of officers. This problem is particularly conspicuous, and in many places there is a shortage of officers, squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders, and the shortage of such grassroots officers is as high as about 89 percent. This gap is very large. The three main units are better, the fourth, and the independent brigade, are completely empty shelves, and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak, in addition, there is also the improvement of combat skills, many of them are from the Yellow Turban Army, the Northern Army, and the New Army of the West Garden, and the weapons they fight are all cold weapons, and we also have them here, but they are gradually being eliminated, and the situation of the first, second, third, and three main forces is better, because they have such a foundation, but the situation of the fourth brigade is different. They have supplemented too many new troops in the West Garden, and they are interested in new weapons, but there is no formal training, and there is still a lack of firearms operation and tactical training, and we should also take into account this situation. Jia Xu said.

"These brigades are already doing it. Their approach is very simple, that is, to promote the existing military backbone and establish a framework on the basis, while our side can only gradually organize them to study, educate them, and let them change some situations that were not right in the past, so that many things can be changed, but under such circumstances, it is still very difficult to change such a situation, or to say that it is still very difficult to completely reverse such a situation. Shang Wu said.

"But at the same time, we also noticed that there are also some scum mixed in, look at this, the gendarmerie found that there are more violations of law and discipline, although most of them are done by some veterans and recruits, but there are no discipline things, if there is a but, many things cannot be carried out. So, this kind of thing, there is no but. Shang Wu said.

The report handed over by Shang Wu was about the recent military discipline, because of the large number of recruits, people who were already used to stealing chickens and dogs, and even doing some illegal things, suddenly appeared in the current situation.

"There are also things like losing positions and losing responsibilities before, especially the 331 Regiment and Yang Xiaocai, such things are very bad." Jia Xu said after reading it.

"So, a special military tribunal should be set up to deal with such things, let them know, this kind of thing. The army will never allow them to do so. Shang Wu said.

"I agree." Jia Xu said.
