517 by the Yellow River

In the barracks of the new army in Beijing, Luoyang, and Xiyuan, the experimental infantry company is urgently assembling.

Yes, the experimental infantry company, this is an infantry company that Cao Cao boldly established in the style of the republican army, and everything was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the republican army.

Cao Cao decided to start with military reform, because he knew that Emperor Ling of Han was very concerned about the military, and if he could trigger political and economic reforms from military reform, Cao Cao thought that it would be worth it. Therefore, Cao Cao boldly carried out military reforms, and many things are constantly being explored. However, in this regard, the entire Xiyuan New Army was very puzzled by Cao Cao, and this incomprehension gradually rose to a point where people felt very ridiculous, and many sergeants believed that Cao Cao had become a fool and a madman in the Republican Army.

It's all there. Cao Cao doesn't care, what he needs is to change, to change the current situation of the Xiyuan New Army, judging from the current situation of the Xiyuan New Army, although they are equipped with muskets, artillery and other weapons, but this is only some superficial things. In essence, what is inside has not changed at all. This is what Cao Cao thinks. If the Republican Army and the Xiyuan New Army were allowed to fight again, Cao Cao believed that with the same strength, the Xiyuan New Army would be defeated faster, and they would even lose the entire war before the war began. It was this sense of crisis that made Cao Cao boldly carry out military reform.

"Report to the sir, the whole company is one hundred and thirty-two, and it should be one hundred and thirty-two, and the assembly is complete." The captain of the company reported loudly.

Cao Cao just nodded. But looking at the very untidy company assembled, he personally felt that this was very bad.

This experimental company was paid a military salary, and everyone didn't know about it at first. After participating, I learned that these people were all soldiers who were not wanted by various battalions. Their food is also very good, three meals a day are dry. This has made many people regret it, but regret simply doesn't work. Because there are so many people. This is Jian Shuo's greatest support for Cao Cao. You know, in ancient times, soldiers fought just to provide food. This is still the Xiyuan New Army, and some local armed forces will not provide military uniforms. And to carry out such a supply of materials, it is already a considerable concession. Because they haven't heard of it, they still have to pay for war.

Therefore, Cao Cao's military reform at the beginning did not get a good impression, after all, forming an army should not be so troublesome. In this case, the cost will only be more. Jian Shuo did not agree to do this at all.

The uniforms of the experimental recruit company were extremely uneven, as their uniforms were still in the ancient style and looked a little dragged. The Republican Army had long since changed into buttoned uniforms and alpine hats, looking like professional soldiers, and the emergency assembly was a sneak attack for these GIs.

The soldiers' clothes were not in time to be tied, and some of them did not have their belts tied. A belt is a long piece of cloth that needs to be wrapped several times before it can be knotted and wound. The shoes are simple, but the clothes look very uneven because they have no buttons. The marching rucksack is also the first time it has appeared here. Cao Cao demanded that they carry their marching knapsacks at all times. But now, these have become a burden for them, and many soldiers are not used to such things.

The clothes are disheveled, just like the appearance of being defeated after the enemy's sneak attack, only the queue is still presentable, which is also the result of continuous learning.

"Why are you disheveled?" Cao Cao asked the captain. The emergency assembly required them to assemble within thirty breaths, because the Republican army was completed in such a short time, and it didn't take too long for them to go from resting to entering battle, which was amazing combat effectiveness. The Republican Army always conducts spot checks from time to time and at different places, and such spot checks can better maintain combat effectiveness.

Whether an army is high in combat depends first of all on its ability to assemble its economy, and if they can do this, their situation will become extremely favorable. Obviously, the new army of the imperial court in Xiyuan could not do this, because they could not gather so many troops in a quarter of an hour. If the entire Xiyuan New Army gathers, I'm afraid it will take two hours to complete the integration, even if all of them are on the big playground, it will take time to integrate the three-way drum at once, which is too long for Cao Cao. For such a long time, some companies of the Republican Army had already detoured behind their backs, that is, when they had just integrated their ranks, and the front and rear flanking attacks had already begun, and they had been defeated before they could deploy. I don't know how they managed to do that.

"Back to sir." The captain said. The commander is first deployed in the experimental company, and the commander can cancel the rank, and at the same time, adopt the military rank system. However, they do not yet have a uniform military rank.

"Our army's clothes are too cumbersome. It costs 60 breaths to get dressed, and the soldiers have to wear clothes in order to be able to assemble urgently, so it is very difficult to rest. The captain explained.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded. The problem arises with military uniforms. Their military uniforms are still old-fashioned clothes, not a type of modern military uniform, the difference is the mouth, and most of the ancient clothes are tied up. Even in some places, they are tied with ropes. It's a lot of trouble to wear. This is still a military uniform, and if they are allowed to wear Confucian clothes, their situation will become even more unfavorable. This is very detrimental to the war.

"Disbanded." Cao Cao reluctantly gave such an order. Yes, the difference, a small military uniform can reflect the difference in the efficiency of the two sides, the republican army is buttoned, even after Cao Cao came, he also made improvements to many clothes, for example, the first use of buttoned clothes, such clothes can greatly meet their rapid requirements, which is not comparable to everyone.

The soldier quickly left the place, albeit annoyed. But there is no way. They knew it was for their own good, and if there was a real fight, they might have been killed.

Cao Cao began to worry about his military uniform again. Because of the food, the military salary is still hard to come, and the military uniform, each soldier needs at least two sets of military uniforms. It is also necessary to make it according to the style. It takes a lot longer, it may be longer. Cao Cao was once again in a difficult situation. His military reform was not so easy, because there were so many things that needed to be changed in many places. It was precisely because there were too many such changes that Cao Cao thought it was too difficult. But he can't help it. A country that can only provide military rations suddenly makes them inferior to the nearly modern army, which is definitely not something that an ancient feudal economy can support. It seems that there are times when appropriate economic reforms are necessary. But Cao Cao is just a military captain. It looks like he's on the line.

And Emperor Ling of Han above the court would definitely not support Cao Cao to mess around like this. Such a thing as carrying out military reform has already had a negative effect. Economic reform, perhaps everyone in the entire court will oppose it. Reform is not an easy thing to do.

Hedong, the first part of the 6th Brigade.

A Republican soldier stood on a high ground with his rifle already bayonet. Below, however, a large number of prisoners of war were crouching on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.

"Stand up, all stand up." Some IRA soldiers shouted loudly that they were cooperating with the gendarmes in the search. These were the prisoners of war of the White Polish Army captured by them during their annexation military operations, and most of them were civilians. The battle went very smoothly, they met no resistance at all, and the battle was over. Only a small number of officers fled. They have gone in pursuit. It's surrounded on all sides, and they won't run too far.

"Stand up, all stand up." Under the loud shouts of the soldiers, the prisoners of war stood up one after another. Then they lined up in neat ranks according to their positions, and the gendarmes were to screen them, and those who could report the officers were rewarded, and those officers, most of whom were the leaders of the White Polish army, who had done many evils, burned and looted. They're not doing a lot of things.

Such people are to be brought up. Some prisoners of war were then educated and released. At the same time, they have to be arranged. In short, it's a whole set of jobs. This is done by the gendarme, and by the local government.

After this is done, the social order will basically settle down.

In fact, many prisoners of war wanted to settle down as soon as possible, and they were extremely disgusted with such unrest. The arrival of the Republican Army was the stability of the new order. This means that they have finally returned to the normal social order.

"Sir." A gendarmerie captain saluted. Ma Heng is here to inspect. As they continued to annex the territory of the White Polish Army, many base areas were connected together, and their land was constantly expanding.

"How far is it from the Yellow River?" Ma Heng asked the captain of the military police.

"Report sir, there are still thirty miles. We've put a lockdown there. The fleeing backbone of the White Polish Army will not leave here. The gendarme replied.

"Hmm." Ma Heng nodded to show that he understood, and he thought that what the other party was doing was right, at least this was a manifestation that was extremely beneficial to him.

Yes, they finally reached the Yellow River. All military operations can be very different.

When you reach the Yellow River, you will be relieved in the past. In this way, the entire combat operation can be carried out. This is where the next step of the IRA's military operations will begin.

The cavalry units could not wait. But they still have to be patient, because they have to wait patiently. Wait for the last chance to come.
