Chapter 38 Adapted in the Clouds

Xu Huang and Fang Yue were already convinced, and the soldiers under them naturally had no complaints, and they had also seen with their own eyes the strong personal abilities of the soldiers trapped in the camp.

So far, the exercise was a complete success, with 5,000 border troops, 4,000 volunteers, and 4,000 county soldiers entering the recruit training camp for two months of recruit training.

Of the lieutenants of the six counties, two were unwilling to accept the adaptation, and Lu Bu sent them back to their counties and wrote a letter to Ding Yuan in private, telling them not to reuse them. The other four lieutenants were all willing to undergo new training with Xu Huang and Fang Yue.

These middle- and lower-ranking officers received the same physical training as ordinary soldiers, 10 kilometers of armed cross-country, push-ups, sit-ups, strength training.

The most important thing is the queue training, every day there are soldiers who can't hold on to the elimination of the eliminated, and those who are eliminated can only be assigned to the local garrison and go to Tuntian.

However, every day, many young people heard the story of the trapped camp, Lu Bu's heroic deeds, and even the rewards of the mobilization meeting, which attracted them to come from hundreds of miles to join the army, which is the charm of heroes.

Of course, in addition to physical training and skill training, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, and even Lu Bu will also come to the officer battalion to give them lectures, tactical, campaign, and even strategic, the combination of the art of war and actual combat, the tactics of trapping camps and the arrangement of troops, guerrilla tactics, the importance of intelligence, and in short, a lot of new knowledge.

Most people are still willing to accept new ideas and concepts, and Xu Huang is a typical example, very open-minded and studious, and his ability to understand is also very strong, and he does have a talent for military command.

Xu Huang was also resistant to those basic training subjects, especially queue training, but when he heard that Gao Shun and even Lu Bu had also participated in the trapping camp training together, and they were also in the same military posture of standing under the sun for a few hours, and thought of the shocking scene when they first saw the gathering of the trapping camp, he strengthened his determination to persevere to the end.

Later, when he was in class, he listened to Gao Shun talk about the importance of platoon training, especially the great role of improving discipline, and he was deeply touched and deeply realized why the first of the five major military regulations is to obey the command of all actions.

Two months of recruit training flew by in a busy way. Xu Huang, Fang Yue and the others all felt that they had undergone a reborn change, and they also admired Master Lu Bu even more, because they heard that many of these training subjects were invented and created by Lu Bu.

However, Xu Huang and Fang Yue are both from the border army family that has received the emperor's grace, and in just two months, they have not been able to make them consciously serve Lu Bu as the lord like everyone else, but they also accepted Lu Bu's new ideas and willingly accepted Lu Bu's leadership.

But those middle and lower-level officers and the vast number of low-level soldiers don't think like this, two months of recruit training, coupled with the repeated brainwashing of the instructors in the camp, these border troops, rebels, and county soldiers have adapted to their identity as recruits in the camp, and accepted that Lu Bu is their own lord and is in charge of food.

After the end of the recruit training, Gao Shun and Jia Xu began to disrupt and reorganize, the original camp veterans and these recruits were all reorganized and reorganized, and all of them took the assessment test together, and then reappointed, and the soldiers with excellent grades can even serve as squad leaders, platoon commanders and other junior officers.

In the past, the middle and lower-ranking officers of each army were evaluated together with the squad leaders and squadron leaders who were trapped in the camp after learning new knowledge, and competed for the positions of company commander and battalion commander. The positions of senior officers such as regiment commanders and brigade commanders were personally evaluated by Lu Bu before being appointed.

In the past, the officers of the Han army wanted to have the greatest advantage over ordinary soldiers still being able to read and write, and they had some cultural foundation, while most of the soldiers at the bottom were illiterate, and before joining the army, they were either military households raising horses or farmers.

Lu Bu also felt the sadness that most of the soldiers were uneducated, so he asked Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others to set up cultural literacy classes in the barracks as soon as possible, at least to be able to write their own names, simple addition and subtraction, and it would be better if they could write letters to their families by themselves.

In his previous life, Lu Bu was a modern soldier with both civil and military skills, so he firmly believed that being literate was also a shortcut to improving combat effectiveness. Literacy classes are specific to the company level and are in charge of the clerks of each company.

At Lu Bu's insistence, the post of clerk was assigned to the company level, and each company had a clerk and a clerical assistant, who was specifically responsible for recording military merits and military discipline picketing.

These clerks were all personally trained and inducted by Lu Bu, focusing on the importance of military discipline in the army and the general righteousness of the country and the nation. Lu Bu actually hoped that the clerks could play a little role as political commissars and instructors.

The announcement of the final assessment results was not expected by Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Gao Shun, and most of the positions of squad leader and platoon leader were held by the veterans of the first phase of the trapped camp, and most of the military positions at the company and battalion level were also taken by the squadron leaders and squad leaders of the trapped camp.

This is because although the officers of the border army and the county soldiers have also participated in the new-style officer training, which is similar to the accelerated military academy, after all, the time is too short, and they have not yet understood the new tactics and new ideas in many assessment subjects and questions, and they have a very difficult time answering them, and their adaptability is obviously inferior to that of these officers who are trapped in the camp.

Lu Bu said to Jia Xu and Gao Shun: "In the future, we will have to do more of this kind of rapid officer training, and when conditions are available in the future, we will also set up a school dedicated to training lower-level officers." Jia Xu and Gao Shun both agreed.

In the end, it took more than three months to get into the camp, and finally the reorganization and training were completed, and this reorganization was the famous "cloud adaptation" in history, a new army passed through nearly two thousand years, and appeared in the turbulent era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The whole army in the trapping camp was reorganized into a division, with three brigades under its jurisdiction, including two infantry brigades with more than 4,000 men each, one reinforced cavalry brigade, and four cavalry regiments with more than 5,000 troops, totaling more than 14,000 people.

Both infantry brigades are standard three-three systems, from squad to brigade. Nearly 2,000 people were eliminated, formed into local garrisons, and returned to the counties in order to replace the other county soldiers who were trained in the counties to continue to train in the clouds.

In addition, in the Yunzhong Recruit Training Camp, there are as many as 3 to 4,000 young men who have come from various surrounding states and counties to join the army, and they are receiving recruit training.

The first division of the Han army fell into the camp, the division commander was personally served by Lu Bu himself, the deputy division commander was also the expected Gao Shun, and the chief of staff was the military advisor Jia Xu.

The brigade commander of the First Infantry Brigade is Xu Huang, his assessment results are very good, and his ability to accept new things is also quite strong, and the deputy brigade commander is Fang Yue, the two are old partners and are familiar with each other.

The brigade commander of the Second Infantry Brigade is Cheng Lian, and the deputy brigade commander is Wei Xu, the appointment of these two people is a bit reluctant from Lu Bu's original intention, but who has made his subordinates short of talents, at least the loyalty is enough, and they have been trapped in the camp for a long time, and they should not be bad.

The brigade commander of the Third Cavalry Brigade was quite unexpected by everyone, in fact, Jin Riyan's attainments in sinology were quite high, and he was very good at learning, and cavalry was his strength, so Lu Bu personally appointed him as the brigade commander, and the deputy brigade commander was Guan Hai.

Song Xian still serves as the quartermaster he is familiar with, and this kid still has some talent in this regard. In addition, the Dangkou Cavalry was also expanded from a squad of 50 men to a battalion-level unit, with a guard company, a reconnaissance company, and a communications company under its jurisdiction. At this point, the newly formed First Division of the Trap Camp began to take shape.
