Chapter 42: Teaching Company
"Regiment commander, there is a shortage of war horses in our own army, how can you give the war horse to that Zhang Rudan!"
Zhang Rudan sat and chatted for a while before leaving, and Zhao Yong, the freshly baked cavalry captain, complained about Chen Yuanlai.
"Expelling Meng Yuan is not possible by relying on the strength of our family, no matter what. Zhang Rudan is very loyal, and his heart is also very resolute. We should support one or two of these people and bring them to Austria. The top priority of our army is to reorganize the training of the ranks and improve the combat effectiveness, and the war horses are not what we urgently need, so it is okay to give them some. ”
"The head of the regiment said very much. If our infantry attack is moderate, the enemy cavalry is not invincible. This cavalry is not easy to train, and the horses are not easy to maintain. At present, we are still focusing on improving the combat power of the foot soldiers. Zhao Zhong also nodded.
"My Section Chief Zhao, you still have to concentrate on doing a good job in the training of our battalion. Let's talk about the cavalry, in the future, will we have fewer war horses? Chen Xiong also smiled.
"Well, I'll have to leave 30 horses for the cavalry anyway." Seeing that everyone did not support him, Zhao Yong had to retreat to the second.
"Except for two horses for communication, you can pull the rest. You pick out people to train first, and then there will be war horses to supply you first. Chen Yuan shook his head. There was also some remorse in my heart. At that time, my mouth was still a little bigger, and in this world, war horses are still quite precious. When I didn't see that chapter Rudan, my eyes widened when I heard that I had given him ten horses.
"Haha, that's it. The subordinates thanked him in advance. Zhao Yong smiled proudly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you Zhao Yong to look loyal, but his stomach was full of bad water. Now proud. Chen Xiong joked with a smile.
"Alright." A few laughed at each other a few times, and Zhao Zhong came out to ask for instructions, "Regiment commander, we have captured more than 200 Han soldiers and soldiers, as well as nearly 200 township soldiers, if they are all recruited into our army, I am afraid it will be enough to form a battalion." Or, let's form another battalion to make up the number of thousands? ”
The eyes of everyone in the hall looked at it. Chen Yuan smiled, there is a good saying, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. There are many people in this hall who are counting on a larger increase in the size of the army so that they can be promoted to the positions in their heads.
"Soldiers are not expensive. The big war is coming, and the new battalion-level establishment will not be needed. Let's give priority to replenishing the three main companies. If I am redundant, I will form another battlehead company. In addition, the guard company has not been replenished, and this time, the guard company has also been replenished. ”
"What the regiment commander said is also that we must also select these soldiers. Our team is not something that anyone can get in if they want to. We can't have any of those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, those who do not obey military orders, and those who like to be opportunistic. Wang Lin got up and said.
"Well, this time we have to close the selection, and we must not get those black sheep in." Chen Xiong also nodded.
"Discuss this. Restore the combat strength of the main battle company as soon as possible. ”
"Yes." Zhao Zhong and the others gave up.
"Commander, how should the guard company be reorganized? This guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the regiment commander, otherwise, let's take some squads from the main team and form them as soon as possible. Chen Xiong said. In this battle, the regiment commander was suddenly in danger, and he still has lingering palpitations in his heart.
"No, you don't. The matter of the guard company is not in a hurry, I have my own way. Chen Yuan waved his hand, "I have always had the idea of building the guard company into a teaching company for the whole army. ”
"Teaching Company?" Seeing that Chen Yuan came up with a new term, Zhao Zhong was puzzled.
"The combat strength of a unit depends to a great extent on the company, platoon, and squad leader, and the teaching company is, to put it bluntly, a school where officers at all levels are trained for the whole army. The teaching company gathers the best soldiers of the regiment as a demonstration for the whole army, and it will also be the sharpest force directly controlled by the regimental headquarters. Ordinary soldiers enjoy class treatment. Backbone cadres at all levels will be transferred to various departments after being studied and trained by the teaching company. In the future, you must send many elite people in your hands to teach again and again. Chen Yuan explained.
"That's a good idea. We even have some squad and platoon commanders, but they are not even familiar with the queue, so they are just sent to this teaching company to return to the furnace. In the future, I will go back to lead the troops. Chen Xiong said with a smile.
"Of course, you can. But let's get ahead of that. I don't know when I will be able to leave, and it's hard to say where I'm going. ”
"Captain, this is not going to work. Now there is a shortage of brothers in the following platoons, and they still have to reorganize the soldiers of the Han army, and the backbone of this platoon cannot be transferred. Hearing that the elite people in the team were transferred out, I didn't know if they could come back, so Chen Xiong immediately quit.
"Whatever you want. I have my own way. ”
"Commander, where are you going to recruit troops?" Seeing that Chen Yuan's answer was relatively simple, Chen Xiong was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Aren't there many brothers in the wounded and sick camp? I'll just wait until they heal from their injuries and recruit all of them into the teachings. Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Captain, this is not going to work. After this battle, the soldiers of our battalion who dared to fight were basically lying in the wounded and sick camp, and if they were all taken away by you, the following companies would not be able to take them. Chen You's face suddenly lengthened, and he said in frustration.
"It's not that I won't give it back to you. After these people are transferred to the training camp, they will still return to the battalion company in the future. ”
"But I can't bear it now. In this battle, not to mention the squad and platoon commanders, four of them were admitted to the wounded and sick battalion above the deputy company commander. Without them, there would have been chaos below. ”
"I think so, above the deputy company commander, it is not easy to settle the teaching company to be transferred, so let them return to the team after their injuries. It is limited to three days, and those who can return to the team smoothly within three days will return to the team, and those who cannot return to the team will be drawn into the teaching team in the future. Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Chen, what do you think? Zhao Zhong stood up with a smile and became a peacemaker.
"Well, so be it. However, two people had to be transferred to the Teaching Company immediately. One is Zhou Jian, who can practice the mandarin duck array, and the other is Zheng Hong, who climbs the city tower. Let these two come to me at once. I propose to appoint Zhou Jian as the commander of the teaching company, Zheng Daniu as the deputy battalion commander, and the captain of the guard. That Zheng Hong also served as the deputy company commander of the teaching company and the captain of the special operations team. Chen Yuan nodded.
"Okay." Chen Xiong's face twitched, and he endured the heartache.
………..
"Phew."
In the Fuzhou Prefecture Ya, Wu Xiushi, who had a meaty face, slammed the desk in front of him fiercely, and glared fiercely at a school captain in front of him. The tea cups and documents on the table were shaken to the ground, and the captains and soldiers on both sides looked at each other.
"What to say, Lu Zhi's three hundred elites didn't run out of Anren alone, and they were all wiped out!"
"Yes, sir." The lieutenant replied calmly.
"Wuyi, you kid say it again!"
"My lord, according to the report from the spies, the three hundred elites of Lu Deputy Qianhu and the ten people belonging to Lord Benzama were attacked by the Shinshu army on the day they arrived in Anren, and more than 300 people were wiped out."
"Wuyi, you fart! Lu Zhi led the elite of the army, and the Red Horse Exploration Army led by Benzama was even more brave, even among the more than 10,000 troops, it was impossible for none of them to escape, and there was no reason for the whole army to be annihilated. ”
"Lord Wanhu, the spies have found out that it is true. The subordinates dare to use the head of the item as a guarantee. Wu Yi arched his hand.
"Isn't it that Xinzhou Xie Fangde led the army, and Lu Zhi was besieged into the city?" A scribe stepped forward and asked Wu Yi.
"Not really. However, the sneak attack on Anren City was also Xie Fangde's vanguard. ”
"Oh, it's just a pioneer, how many people can you detect?"
"According to the report from the spies, there should be no more than a thousand people, but the township soldiers of Leadshan County, led by a man surnamed Chen, came by boat, and took advantage of the night to carry out a surprise attack. Lu Deputy Qianhu should have been caught off guard, so he was defeated. ”
"Hmm." The scribe arched his hand to Wu Xiu and said, "Lord Wanhu, what Captain Wu said is also very reasonable, if you are caught off guard, Deputy Lu Qianhu may indeed be defeated." ”
Wu Xiu pounced and sat back in the Hu chair.
"My lord, this Anren is the only way for our army to go to Jiangdong. Now that Anren has been lost, Xie Fang's troops have to defend the city, although our army has more than 10,000 people, but it is difficult to conquer for a while. It seems that it is not advisable for our army to go deep alone, and we have to meet the troops of Jiangzhou before making plans. The scribe said.
Zhao Senjun is reasonable. Since Xiangyang, our army has fought thousands of miles, after more than ten battles, many soldiers have been tired, it is suitable to rest in Fuzhou, and after Jiangzhou Lu Shuai pacified Raozhou, our army and its troops are together, and a total of Xie Fangde's department is broken, then Xinzhou is at your fingertips, and Jiangdong can be leveled in an instant. Another civilian official stepped forward to suggest.
"I don't know what Zhao Senjun and Mr. Huang said. However, since I was ordered by Lu Shuai, the army has been everywhere, and the southern army has all hoped for the wind to surrender, even if there are those who do not surrender, they are undoubtedly also mantis arms blocking the car, unable to stop our army in the slightest. I don't want to be defeated by more than 1,000 villagers in Anren today. I lost Benzama again, how can I have the face to go to see Lu Shuai, and how can I explain to Lord Song Du Dachun! Wu Xiu said dejectedly.
"Lord Wanhu, Anren is just a small setback, what is the point? The unification of the Great Yuan is inevitable, and the Southern Dynasty is only in a moment. With Xie Fang's land, what can thousands of people do. As soon as the army arrived, it was dusty. Why should the adults of ten thousand households worry? As for the Benzama man, it is a pity. But above the battle array, who can keep it safe. I think that Lord Dachun of Songdu will not see the sin of adults. ”
"What Mr. Huang said is very true." The scribe talked eloquently, and Wu Xiu nodded.
"My lord, I think that Anren only has more than 1,000 village soldiers, and if he is not willing to lead 3,000 people from his headquarters to attack Anren, he will avenge the revenge of Lu Deputy Qianhu, and he will make Xie Fang's exhausted people have no city to rely on and no danger to defend, and they will undoubtedly be defeated." A lieutenant stepped out of the crowd and gave orders.
"No, you can't. General Zhang led the army forward, and the more than 1,000 villagers in Anren were naturally not the general's opponents. But he couldn't hold out, General Zhang stopped troops outside the city, if Xie Fangde's army arrived, one would not be guarded, but Xie Fang would be broken. It's better to rest in Fuzhou with peace of mind, but when Lu Shuai's soldiers arrive, when the troops are united, they will be broken. Mr. Huang hurriedly dissuaded.
"Well, just listen to Mr. Huang. But in the direction of Anren, we must not be guarded against. Zhang Liang, your department will go to Jinxidun to garrison in case of troops in the direction of Xinzhou. The rest of the army rested and waited for Lu Shuai's order. Wu Xiu said solemnly.
"Yes. Respect the military order of ten thousand households. The lieutenants bowed their hands.
