257 reorganization
A field hospital near the village of Yang. Zhou Cang saw his old comrade-in-arms, Pei Yuanshao, although Pei Yuanshao was seriously injured, but after rescue, it was actually sutured and some wounds treated, and most of them relied on Pei Yuanshao's own vitality to survive. I had a fever on the first day I came. High fever does not go away. The hospital took out a part of the alcohol to continuously cool down physically, which made many veterans feel distressed, because they smelled good wine. It's a pity that here they have to keep their mouths shut. They know that good wine is medicine. They could kill ten people with just one sip, and many resisted the urge to drink secretly. They could only smell vigorously, and they felt that they had never smelled such good wine in their lives.
"How? Lao Pei. Are all the parts on your body still there? Zhou Cang asked Pei Yuanshao who was lying on the hospital bed with a smile, there are wounded everywhere here, there are wounded in the aisles, the war is too big. The wounded continued to be brought in, and the field hospital soon expanded from one courtyard to three courtyards around it, and then more courtyards became field hospitals. The doctors and nurses here are so busy that they don't even feel tired. Fortunately, as the pace of the war slowed down, the number of wounded decreased rapidly, which made the staff of the field hospital a little easier. They seized the time to rest, and who knows when the next break would be, more and more widows are getting involved. Because only they would do such a thing, the wounded veterans, because of the participation of these women, their tempers were much more restrained.
"Fortunately, it's the smell of alcohol here that seduces my old Pei's nose enough. There is no more war. I'm just committing discipline, and I'm going to steal a bottle secretly, let's call Lao Li. Get a roast chicken, this little day, it's so beautiful. Pei Yuanshao said with a smile, it seems that he is recovering well.
When Zhou Cang heard Lao Li, his mood suddenly fell. He couldn't say anything like that. Many things, when I think about it, people are very sad.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong? You're not a girl, is there something wrong with Lao Li. Injured? Where is the injury? Pei Yuanshao suddenly felt that something bad was happening.
"Say yes. Old Zhou. I can withstand it. Pei Yuanshao asked excitedly.
"Lao Li. Lao Li, no, is gone. Lao Zhou said with red eyes.
Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a moment. He, he didn't know what he was thinking, he suddenly felt like he had lost something, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It's all, it's all my fault, Lao Li blocked it for me. That knife, if, if there was no Lao Li, it would be me who died, but, I think. Lao Zhou shed tears, he would think of that scene every night, he didn't know what to say. Or rather. He didn't know how to express such a situation, and several times he had secretly touched his tears and said it now. He suddenly felt that he was not a thing.
"It's my old Zhou who is useless, useless. What a good brother, he was killed. Lao Zhou cried and said.
"Smack. Syllable. Lao Zhou slapped himself twice.
"Old Zhou. Old Zhou. Don't do this. Don't do this. Pei Yuanshao grabbed the other party's hand. But Lao Zhou cried even more sadly. There were still a lot of wounded around.
"It's my old Zhou who has no ability, no ability, and lost all his brothers. Yes. Whining. Zhou Cang cried wow, and at this moment he finally couldn't hold it back. The wounded soldiers around looked at Zhou Cang, and they all lowered their heads or turned around. Seeing Zhou Cang's scene, many wounded soldiers also remembered that their own life may have been picked up by another brother.
"Lao Zhou, you are good, you are good. Yes. Lao Zhou, don't cry. How do you act like a. Crying like this. Pei Yuanshao comforted the old man thoughtfully.
"Woo. Whining. Zhou Cang cried. A nurse came over to see Zhou Cang crying in pain, and shook her head helplessly to leave. This kind of thing has happened a lot in hospitals, and many soldiers have seen that the wounded soldiers are helpless to save them because they are too seriously injured and just like that.
"Lao Zhou, don't cry, everyone else is watching. Lao Li saw it. I'm going to laugh at you, don't be like a. Crying makes people laugh. Pei Yuanshao said.
Lao Zhou's crying was finally released by the aggrieved things in his heart. He felt very depressed, his good comrades-in-arms were sacrificed like that.
"Lao Zhou, I've heard it all. Our independent brigade has resisted the fierce attack of the old boy of Huangfu Song, and we are doing well. We didn't embarrass the independent brigade, Lao Li is in the spirit of the sky, and he will be happy to death when he sees it. Pei Yuanshao said.
"Hmm. Well. Whining. It took Zhou Cang some time before he stopped crying, and he felt much more comfortable.
"Let others see the joke." Lao Zhou said.
"What's this, come here, dead brother, can't you cry. Damn, crying is your recognition of this brotherly feeling. Pei Yuanshao said.
"Hmm. Our troops may have a number. When we get back, let's go see Lao Li and tell Lao Li about this matter. Zhou Cang said.
"Hmm. I'll check it out too, good brother. That's right. There are still some things, you can find me a dog and his child. Zhang Gouzi was the first to die. When I left, I didn't say anything. Pei Yuanshao said.
"Hmm. There are many people missing from our ranks. Zhou Cang bowed his head and said nothing. Many people he didn't even remember by name, but people just didn't. It made them very uncomfortable.
"There are more than 300 people left in our team. A lot, gone. The chief said. Our team will be re-established, and a large number of new recruits will be added, and this problem will be solved. Zhou Cang bowed his head and said. The independent brigade, which disabled the troops and almost wiped out their family foundations, suddenly died in the Red Turban Army, and like the 323rd Regiment, they suddenly became star troops. Because this unit fought bravely and tenaciously, they let their opponents see the most terrible places. This situation let everyone know that the Independent Brigade is an extremely tenacious force, and it can be said that in this regard, the Independent Brigade has made its own name.
There are still thirty miles from the forward position. There are a large number of Northern soldiers receiving a new education, and an officer is telling the Northern prisoners of war why they should fight, why the Red Turbans fight, why the Red Turbans do not kill them, this is because they do not kill prisoners of war, and there are many valuable things, and these are essentially the humanistic spirit, and people are no longer just for food to survive. They have their own ideas, they have their own ideals, they should be free, this is the period of the germination of humanist thought, but also the period of development. Because many of the POW soldiers turned out to be confused and didn't know how to live. It is not clear to them themselves why they are fighting. But, now, they know why they lived.
"I'll say two words." A Northern prisoner of war stood up and said. He is very tall, about two meters, so, his clothes look ill-fitting. There is no way, they are all uniform uniforms, no one will get him a set of clothes, and it seems that at this point, an officer gave his military coat to the other party, but it still looks too small. And it's also very narrow. All in all, it doesn't look too close.
"I, I used to be a soldier and was able to eat enough, but then I felt that if I could have a sum of money as a soldier, I would be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. It's a pity that being a soldier is a poor life. Our commanders are still singles. I don't want to think about it. The soldier said.
"Hahahaha." Many soldiers laughed.
"However, I believe in the Red Turbans. I believe that the Red Turban Army is real, and after dividing the land, I can also marry a daughter-in-law. The soldier said.
"This, life, there is hope." The soldier said with a smile.
"Haha. Oooh. The Northern soldiers shouted excitedly.
"Quiet, quiet, the soldier is very good at what he says, and his ideas are very simple. You say, isn't it, you dare to say that you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law. Just be a soldier for life? The Red Turban Officer asked loudly.
"Yes." The Northern prisoners of war shouted loudly.
"What do you think?" The officer asked happily.
"I want to marry a daughter-in-law. Have a baby. The Northern prisoners of war raised their arms and shouted. At this moment, they really want to join the Red Turban Army, but their course has not yet been completed, so naturally they are not the Red Turban Army yet.
"Yes. This is your ideal, you are fighting for the sake of thousands of people with simple ideals, for yourself, for your brothers and sisters, for your parents, not for your superiors. And the commander of the Red Turban Army will love the lives of his soldiers. Let your subordinates die, there is no such thing. The officer shouted with a waving arm. The Northern soldiers below nodded. They felt that this was the only way to find their soul.
"Zhang Qing sent a report." Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.
"Oh." Shang Wu came back to his senses and said.
"What report?" Shangwu asked.
"They hope to be able to get some officers to supplement, the expansion of the army is very fast, the new army in the West Park surrendered in large numbers, more than 15,000 soldiers participated in the Red Turban Army, but our people are relatively small, and most of them are militia, combat skills, ideas, and a series of other combat skills, are not very mature, such an expansion is very dangerous. There is no backbone, only the original Xiyuan New Army, such a force is still very dangerous, I think, whether to draw some backbone from the first brigade or from the third brigade to go there. Jia Xu said.
"Because only in this way can many things be solved, and they can build a skeleton, without such a skeleton, many things cannot be solved. The 4th Infantry Brigade was gone. The independent brigade is running out. These heroic units need to be re-established, but there is no priority for veterans to replenish, and at the same time, we all know the situation of the officer training course, a large number of officers who have just appeared have been carved up, and there is no time to replenish them, but so, I think, we should pay attention to this situation. Jia Xu said.
"Well, I thought it was feasible, so I transferred a battalion of a regiment there. Another battalion was drawn from the 3rd Brigade. In this case, two battalions should be enough, right? Shang Wu said.
"It's not enough, we need to select some backbones from the new army in Xiyuan, re-establish the training team, the officer training class, I think, we can handle an officer training class in advance, let them strengthen their study, and then assign them to other troops." Jia Xu said.
"Disrupting the establishment in this way can effectively control the development of the situation." Jia Xu said. In fact, what Jia Xu prevented was that the rights of the officers were too great. Something like Han Shin appeared. And as long as the officer corps is mastered, the non-commissioned officer corps. It is difficult to control the troops, and it is possible to solve such troubles by adjusting and disrupting the establishment from time to time.
"Well, yes, in addition, let them recommend some officers to come here as staff officers, and senior officers must also have some training possibilities. They cannot be allowed to carry out such a lead for a long time. Shang Wu said.
"Well, this is a solution, I think we should do some preparatory work for the reorganization of the troops, carry out operations while reorganizing, merge some combat units, cancel the combat units that are not performing well, and reorganize the personnel into several main forces, so that the combat effect of the troops will become better." Jia Xu said.
"I think that's how it should be, and you can see that happening." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.
"The reorganization of the troops, I think, can be upgraded, concentrated on strengthening a few main forces, in this way, their combat scale can be quickly raised, such as the first brigade, expanded into the first infantry division, under the jurisdiction of two brigades, an independent combat unit, the second brigade, also expanded into the second infantry division, the third brigade, and the fourth, independent brigade, I think it can be expanded into an independent brigade. Despite being a brigade, he is a reserve in our hands. What do you think? Shang Wu asked.
"Well, I agree." Jia Xu said.
"At the same time, on the part of the General Headquarters, a general staff department will be set up and some experienced officers will be transferred to command operations, and at the same time, some departments will be separated and strengthened, for example, when large-scale operations are carried out, they will be handed over to the General Staff Department to carry out, and some specific military operations, small-scale operations, will be handed over to the Ministry of Defense, so that many of our things can be solved. Large-scale operations in the future will become unlikely, but small-scale operations cannot be avoided, our four main divisions. An infantry brigade has to face a variety of combat situations independently. In this way, our attention is more focused. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu quickly recorded it.
