Chapter 190: Downsizing into a Brigade
After someone's words, Guo Qixun couldn't help but open his mouth, and he no longer dared to despise this little brother, so he humbly asked Liu Daguan for advice and discussed how to train the troops, but Liu Yun asked Guo Commander himself what plans or specific thoughts he had for the more than 10,000 troops in Mao County.
Guo Qixun was suddenly silent, lowered his head and didn't speak for a while, because he didn't have any plan at all, since he was sent to Maoxian by Liu Xiang, he was very depressed and impetuous, and he left the whole training of the troops behind, and he wished that the troops would be a little worse, so he felt more comfortable.
Liu Yun sighed secretly in his heart, he was speechless for this sworn Brother Guo, no matter how powerful a general is, if he doesn't have a strong army in his hands, then everything will be over, I'm afraid that even a small patrol officer will dare to arrest him and go to prison, so the army is the foundation of a general.
After all, Guo Qixun is a veteran of the army, and he is very familiar with the army, so he quickly thought of countermeasures, and wanted to reorganize the more than 10,000 troops in Maoxian County into a second-class division, that is, three regiments and one brigade, two brigades and one division, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yun and only asked how the combat effectiveness of the division was.
Division Commander Guo also smiled bitterly, fighting Han is straightforward, and he is also straightforward in his speech, what can he do with such a ragtag army, no matter any rectification and training, people are still these people, he is not a Buddha, and there is nothing to do about these soldiers, at most he looks good when he is in line.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yun already had a clever plan, and couldn't help laughing, "Big brother is really an honest man, and there is a God-given opportunity in front of him, he can disband them all, and then re-recruit troops according to the ideal soldier standards, so that all problems can be solved one by one."
"Re-recruitment", Guo Qixun was also moved in his heart, the establishment of Guo Jiajun was in front of him, and then he thought about the feasibility, shook his head involuntarily, and said with some hesitation, "This matter is too dangerous, but I am not afraid of Liu Xiang's suspicion, the soldiers are intertwined, and it is difficult to deal with it properly."
Liu Yun didn't really want to build Guo Jiajun, but bullied Guo Qixun, an old-fashioned soldier, who did not understand the characteristics of modern troops at all, and modern armies pay special attention to discipline, training and logistics, so even if the troops are successfully trained, they cannot become Guo Jiajun, because logistics will be the Achilles' heel.
"Big brother's words are wrong, among the more than 10,000 troops in Mao County, after all, there are very few soldiers, and the eldest brother can list the criteria for screening, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to indiscriminate, stipulating that those who can go up and can't go down, the whole army will be reduced to a brigade, and it is better to do what is unqualified, and there is a shortage of people for mining and road repair."
For Liu Yun's generosity, Guo Qixun was convinced, and he really offended the soldiers to death, especially the soldiers who planned to be eliminated were included in the mining and road construction workers, which was simply appalling, and asked with a wry smile, "Brother, aren't you afraid of being shot black?" ”
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Guo Qixun had misunderstood, so he explained with a smile, "There are seven counties in the Maoxian Prefecture, and the garrison brigade and garrison regiment alone can accommodate more than ten regiment-level cadres.
"Engineer brigade" is a new term, only Lao Chiang's lineage, the Central Teaching Corps has this establishment, or the result of the German advisory group's forced buying and selling, Guo Qixun has also heard a little, and he also has a new understanding of Liu Yun's lack of morality, and he still has a lot of opinions on the downsizing of independent divisions into brigades.
Liu Yun also smoked a little, and after drinking a few sips of tea, he straightened out the meridians, and asked as calmly as possible, "Big brother, think about it yourself, the reorganization of the Sichuan Army this time is from more than 300 regiments, reduced to 100 regiments, what do you want to do here?" ”
Guo Qixun is also in a cold sweat, he just wants to hug the army more, if it weren't for Liu Yun's reminder, he would have forgotten his form, others are downsizing, but he is expanding here, and it is too "chickens and cranes", and when he needs to kill chickens and monkeys, he will become the first object to be exemplified.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Liu Yun showed his cards and said the plan for the reorganization of the brigade, in the future Maoxian Prefecture, the establishment of the regiment will be abolished, the county garrison regiment will be changed into a garrison brigade, the Maoxian garrison brigade will be changed into an engineer brigade, the Maoxian independent division will be changed into an independent brigade, and the brigade will be directly under the jurisdiction of the integrated battalion.
After a grand reorganization plan, Boss Guo said that his eyes were straight, and Liu Yun did not consider the feelings of Commander Guo, and suggested that the number of the independent division be cancelled directly, and he would be called Brigade Commander Guo in the future, so that Guo Qixun only wanted to cry, he really worked hard for decades, and once returned to the pre-liberation period.
Just when Guo Qixun was about to turn his face, Liu Yuncai said that the real establishment of the independent brigade is a mechanized infantry brigade, with three infantry battalions, one armored battalion, one artillery battalion, and one armored transport battalion.
Brigade Commander Guo was really stunned at this time, this brigade is too good, the artillery actually has a battalion, how can it get dozens of cannons, this is too extravagant, if such a brigade, he will dare to fight any integrated division, but Liu Yun told him that the exact number of cannons is 48.
This is not the most frustrating, the armored battalion also has 48 tanks, the number is twice that of the Japanese armored wing, although the armored transport battalion has no tanks, but it is equipped with nearly 100 armored vehicles of various types, which can transport military supplies and ammunition in peacetime, and can also be used as light tanks in battle.
Brigade Commander Guo was excited for a while, and immediately counted with his fingers, maybe he didn't count it for a while, he actually took off his shoes, and counted it again with his toes, Liu Yun smelled his stinky feet and wanted to vomit, and he didn't even want to drink tea, but the result was finally calculated, Guo Qixun happily announced the answer, his independent brigade will be the first brigade in the world, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness will exceed that of an integrated army.
Seeing that Liu Yun was very disgusted with stinky feet, Guo Qixun put on his shoes with a sneer, for fear of offending Liu Dagongzi, so he hurriedly explained, it turned out that this guy graduated from a regular military academy and learned a set of combat power calculation methods, such as individual combat power is one, artillery is thirty, and tank is one hundred, etc.
This set of combat power calculation method is simple and mechanical, and even a little idealistic, but in this era, it is already a very advanced thing, according to Guo Qixun's unintentional disclosure, this is still a special product of the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union, and ordinary people can't learn it if they want to, anyway, Liu Yun himself doesn't have a cold.
In Liu Yun's view, any calculation of combat power is false, and the Soviet army itself is only for reference, who is really a fool, modern warfare is simple and simple, first send fighter planes to seize air supremacy, then use bombers and artillery to blow up the enemy's equipment and formation, and then send a large group of tanks and armored vehicles to seize various support points, and finally send infantry to advance and encircle, and the enemy will die if he does not escape.
Guo Qixun is now ecstatic, he is simply respectful of Liu Yun, in his opinion, Zhuge Liang in ancient times, there is no such thing, the number of an infantry battalion is as high as 800, and some strong men and porters are strengthened in wartime, the total number of people directly exceeds 1,000, who dares to say that this is not a reorganized regiment.
What's even more terrifying is that the enemy doesn't know that this is a mess at all, if it really fights, it won't suffer a big loss, this is Guo Qixun's favorite, I want to fight Tucheng at the beginning, isn't this how it yin the Red Army, and I feel a little itchy when I think of the proudness, so I told Liu Yun about it as a joke.
Liu Yun's face darkened when he heard it, he only knew that Guo Qixun was a rough man, but he didn't expect this guy to be so stupid, and he didn't talk to Brigade Commander Guo anymore, and asked him directly what was going on, and after learning the ins and outs, he said with a headache, "Big brother, you are wrong, the battle of Tucheng, you lost completely."
Guo Qixun blinked his eyes, a little unbelieving Liu Yun's words, his face was still full of pride, as if he was saying that someone was jealous, Liu Daguan had to ask him rhetorically, "Big brother, before this, did Chairman Liu Xiang give a strict order not to fight with the Red Army."
Guo Qixun was startled for a while, muttered in his heart, tried to keep his face calm, and said with a slight forced smile, "Brother Yicheng, how do you know?" I remember that when I was given the edict in person, it was just me and Chairman Liu, and I did not deliberately disobey the order, but the Red Army took the initiative to attack me."
Liu Yun patted his forehead with his hand, and wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, where is this famous general, he is simply a pig, everyone is already brothers, and it is not okay not to pull him, so he has to be patient and enlightened, "It's not who leaked secrets, it was your actions that said it, you are increasing troops and reducing the stove, and you are pressing step by step, even the blind can see that you are deliberately provoking the Red Army to attack you, right?" ”
Brigade Commander Guo also knew that he couldn't deny it, so he had to touch his bald head and laugh, which was a tacit acquiescence in disguise, Liu Yun said a little angrily, "Liu Xiang is your confidant, you put him with a knife, no wonder the more you mess up, the more miserable it is, Liu Xiang is only a general, but you are a lieutenant general, who dares to help you in the Sichuan army."
"Ah, you have wronged me, how can I have-", Guo Qixun suddenly thought of something, the sound of killing pigs stopped abruptly, shrugged his head and was silent, and seemed to be recalling the bits and pieces of these years, from the model brigade to the model division, and then to the independent division of Maoxian.
Liu Yun squinted his eyes and thought of more, in another time and space, there was no battle of Yingxiu, and naturally there was no surprise attack on Wenchuan, although Guo Qixun also became the commander, but on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, when the Japanese army was besieged, the other Sichuan troops watched the fire from the other side, and finally suffered too much damage and were driven out of the army.
Tracing back to the source, it was caused by the Battle of Tucheng, this guy relied on personal preferences, did not consider the interests of the Sichuan Army at all, even if he violated the military order, he had to fight with the Red Army, and then in the eyes of the Sichuan Army, he was Lao Jiang's undercover agent, and in the eyes of the Central Army, he was a ragtag army, and he was not a person inside and out.
On the contrary, in the Battle of Yingxiu, Guo Qixun led his troops to attack Wenchuan, which caused Liu Xiang's impression of him to change slightly, so he sent this guy to Maoxian, and took the opportunity of reorganizing the troops to let this guy start anew.
After a long time, Guo Qixun finally figured it out, his eyes were very calm, shining with the light of wisdom, Liu Yun was also stunned, it seems that there is really an epiphany in this world, and he figured it out so quickly, how is this possible, so he asked seriously, "Brother Guo, have you really figured it out?" ”
Guo Qixun really figured it out, he always wanted to get ahead in the past, he didn't hesitate to go it alone and be unique, he offended many people openly and secretly, he thought that as long as he could fight and kill, he was not afraid of these people to make trouble, Liu Yun reminded him right, Liu Xiang is just a general, but he is a lieutenant general, what is the picture.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Guo Qixun was also sweating profusely, but fortunately, he was still in time to make up for the loss, and whispered to Liu Yun, "I not only want to reduce the army to a brigade, but also ask Chairman Liu Xiang to resign, resign from the rank of lieutenant general on my head, and I will be your deputy in the future."
