Chapter Seventy-Four: New Talents Emerge

The brigade commander of the Second Brigade is Wei Xu, this Lu Bu's sworn brother, a partner who has played since childhood, although he still stutters when he is excited, but with the words and deeds of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Jia Xu and others, the ability to command operations has been continuously improved in actual battles again and again, and the battle of Liangcheng has performed well.

The Third Brigade was the original reserve brigade, and because of the outstanding performance in the Battle of Liangcheng, it was turned into the Third Brigade, and many officers and soldiers of this brigade were enthusiastic young people from all over the country in the name of Mulubu, and many of them were students.

Therefore, not only is the loyalty high, but the cultural level is also the highest among the troops under Lu Bu's account. The new brigade commander is called Zhu Ling, a native of Qinghe County, Jizhou, and is the first group of people to come from other places to join the state to report the trapped camp.

I usually like to study tactics and tactics, and I have studied books in my hometown for a few years, so the progress of learning new concepts and new things trapped in the camp is very fast, and the assessment results are also excellent.

The three brigades of the trapped camp, in this battle of Liangcheng, more than half of the casualties were killed, and many officers were killed and wounded, and some were left in the Rong 1st Division even if they recovered from their injuries, so there were many vacant positions.

They can only be selected from among the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, and most of these newly promoted junior officers are company and platoon commanders, and they also have to participate in the first phase of the military academy.

The third force that needed to be reorganized was the cavalry unit, and Lü Bu decided to expand the original reinforced cavalry brigade into the first cavalry division of the Bingzhou Army, and the division commander was promoted from the original cavalry brigade commander Jin Ilyan.

Since Jin Riyan surrendered to Lu Bu, he has performed outstandingly, killed decisively, and knows the situation of all ethnic groups in the grassland well, and has helped Lu Bu a lot, and he is extremely intelligent, has a deep foundation in Sinology, and is very important to Lu Bu.

The cavalry division temporarily organized two cavalry brigades, and the brigade commander of the first brigade was Zhang He, Zhang He's performance in leading the Hejian elite cavalry was obvious to all, and this time he was also persuaded by frustration and sincerely followed Lu Bu, so he was directly entrusted with important tasks, and Zhang He also had to participate in the military academy to study.

The brigade commander of the second brigade is Hou Cheng, he is also the earliest member of the trapping camp, and he is also a child of the border army.

Although the troops of the cavalry division did not suffer much losses in the battle of Liangcheng, many people chose to participate in collective grazing and collective tuntian because of military merit awards, and some of them were transferred to the Rongyi Division and cavalry reconnaissance units at all levels in the trapping camp.

Fortunately, it was supplemented by 1,000 Hejian cavalry and 1,000 Guanzhong cavalry, and according to Lu Bu's request, some Xiongnu cavalry with high loyalty and military merits were added from the Xiongnu servant army.

Each cavalry brigade has a strength of 5,000 men, and the whole division has 11,000 men, including some logistical auxiliary units, after all, horses are different from people, and they need to be cared for and maintained by professionals.

The fourth integrated and expanded force is the Dangkou Cavalry, originally Lu Bu was going to build it into a special force, the elite of the whole army, but later continued to give heavy responsibilities, the composition became more and more complex, and now the Dangkou Cavalry has also become an honorary title, its official name is the Bingzhou Military Guard Regiment.

The commander of the guard regiment is Dian Wei, but Dian Wei's mind is not so bright, and he can't learn those new military theories, and he has no management skills.

Zhang Liao is considered to be an increase in the speed of the rocket, he is the deputy commander of the new guard regiment, and he is also the commander of the heavy armored cavalry regiment of the Broken Army Wolf Cavalry. That's right, it was the previous heavy armored cavalry battalion, and feeling its great power, Lu Bu had already expanded it into a heavy armored cavalry regiment.

A regiment and three battalions totaled 1,200 heavily armored cavalry, codenamed "Broken Army Wolf Cavalry". Of course, the war horse is not enough now, and it is being bought everywhere, because only the high-headed horses in the Western Regions can move the load. This heavy cavalry regiment, like the guard regiment, was directly subordinate to Lu Bu.

The Guard Regiment consists of a guard battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a communications battalion, and a special forces tank battalion, equipped with 120 two-man combat vehicles.

As the name suggests, the guard battalion is a garrison used to protect important figures such as Lu Bu and Jia Xu, with an establishment of 500 people and three companies, and the battalion commander is concurrently served by Dian Wei.

Lu Bu also specially trained a guard company for Ding Yuan to protect his safety. The old man was still fresh for a while, and he took this guard company of his with him everywhere he went.

The reconnaissance battalion is the special forces in Lu Bu's mind, and the current Rong 1st Division, the Trapped Camp, and the 1st Cavalry Division have all set up their own reconnaissance units, and they have even been popularized to the regimental level, and many backbones are one of the first batch of 50 members of the previous Dangkou Cavalry.

All reconnaissance units are operated according to the selection standards and training syllabus of the Dangkou Cavalry, and the current reconnaissance battalion of the Dangkou Cavalry is even more high-end, and it is selected from all departments of the army.

The combat effectiveness is getting higher and higher, and I am afraid that there is only a difference between modern science and technology and modern equipment from Lu Bu's idealized special forces, and the quality of personnel will definitely not differ much. The commander of the reconnaissance battalion was Hao Zhao, who had outstanding performance before, and the reconnaissance battalion also had an establishment of 500 people.

The communications battalion is mainly a messenger, of course, it also includes departments that specialize in raising carrier pigeons and maintaining contact with carrier pigeons in various places, and even some intelligence departments, such as the information from Li Su's intelligence agency, need to be sorted out by category, in short, it is becoming more and more professional.

The chariot battalion only keeps one hundred and twenty chariots, not a craftsman battalion, oh, now it is called the Ministry of Military Industry, not that they can't produce it, but Lu Bu believes that chariots are not tanks after all, and there are still many limitations in their use at this stage, so they should not be too large.

Lu Bu did not disagree with these reorganization plans, personnel appointments and dismissals, and a large part of them were originally his proposals, and he asked Gao Shun and them to set a date and hold a solemn flag-awarding ceremony, which could not only boost morale, but also cultivate the collective sense of honor of all units.

At present, some of the troops only have the number of military flags, such as the Rong 1st Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, while some troops not only have the number of military flags, but also the honorary military flags, such as trapping the camp, swinging the Kou Cavalry, and awarding the flag together, which can also allow them to compete with each other in a healthy way.

Finally, there were a few more questions, and they also discussed them together. First of all, in the counties under Bingzhou and Duliao, a militia group was established to replace the duties of the county soldiers, but the number of the county soldiers was retained, which was much more convenient to do so.

Ding Yuan has agreed, so it is not difficult to implement, and the Taishou of the five counties of the state have also been replaced by Ding Yuan's henchmen or neutral people with no background.

The second is the Xiongnu servant army, still led by Jin Rigang, who, like his brother Jin Riyan, has long been dead set on Lu Bu, and he is in the front of the battle, and is appreciated by Lu Bu. The servant army still maintained the size of three brigades and fifteen thousand men.

According to Lü Bu's idea, he encouraged the Xiongnu men to gradually become professional soldiers, maintain the standing army of the servant army, detach themselves from production and labor, and use it exclusively to help the Han people conquer the grassland, let them do dangerous work, and the military merit rewards are equivalent to the standards of the Han army.

This not only found a good helper for the Han people, but also gradually weakened the control of the Xiongnu nobles and high-level people over the people at the bottom, and the family members of the servant army got more benefits from the Han military, and they could also use the identity of military families to help the Han army to farm and graze.

The soldiers of the servant army have a lot of income, so they are no longer attached to the Xiongnu nobles, and these Xiongnu nobles, including the clumsy of the Northern Xiongnu, dare to have objections, they are all frightened by Lu Bu's methods, knowing that Lu Bu will definitely not be soft when he kills them, maybe they are waiting for them to jump out and oppose it?
