With the arrival of the follow-up people led by Wang Erniu, the banks of the Shennong River suddenly became lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Ritian's men gathered a combat team, four militia teams, a total of 119 fighters. Yang Liulang led three teams to be stationed in the downstream camp, and Ga Li Guang led two teams to be stationed upstream with the headquarters.

The eighteen robes of the Wolf Mountain Hall are not counted in the establishment of soldiers, and they are also stationed in the upper reaches.

The twenty-six men who eventually arrived at Battle were tasked with transporting and patrolling around.

The most lively is a production team of men brought by Wang Erniu. Erniu consulted Sun Yi and directly divided a large piece of land south of the headquarters camp into a residential area for this team. In the center of the residential area are reserved schools, yards, temples and theaters, a north-south street leads directly to the headquarters camp and the Shennong River, and along several streets in the east-west direction, each family is neatly arranged with two acres of homesteads. The two acres of land in Wolf Mountain are tens of thousands of feet in exchange, and even in the United States in later generations, it is considered a super-large yard, and Sun has always been hot-eyed.

The men of this team immediately "moved" into their own "home". In the huge yard, build a small shack, or simply dig a nest, as long as the headquarters is not on duty, as soon as the morning dawns, the owners begin to tirelessly clean up their "yard", until the night is out of sight.

Sun Yi was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the bandits, and Yang Ritian was seizing the time to train men and horses every day. As soon as the General Staff Department was established, it played a role, and eight or nine veteran troops put forward a series of small suggestions for improvement in light of their own actual combat experience. Yang Ritian attached great importance to these small opinions, believing that this was the secret of the old army's survival after a hundred battles, and quickly promoted it throughout the battalion.

As an old programmer, Sun Yi gave full play to his professional expertise for the first time after returning to the Ming Dynasty and carried out a major reform of the communication command of the whole battalion.

At this time, the army command of the Ming Dynasty was inseparable from the flag. It can be seen from the establishment of the Ming army that every ten people are called a small flag, and every fifty people are called a general flag. When fighting, ordinary soldiers closely follow their own small flags, and small flags follow the general flag, the flag advances, and the flag retreats. If you are unfortunate enough to be pulled out by your opponent, the corresponding centaurs will immediately become headless flies. Higher-level flags, such as the Shuai Banner and the Team Flag, can issue simple flag orders, such as using the flag pointing to announce the attack direction, and using the flag nod to issue the attack rhythm. Between the flags, there can also be a kind of communication that is very primitive in Sun Yi's opinion: the handsome flag sends a signal to recognize the flag, and the subordinate flag answers the signal to respond to the flag. It's just a simple handshake to confirm each other.

More advanced than the Ming army, each team in the Ironwood Battalion was also equipped with willow whistles - real wooden whistles, no longer temporary whistles made of willow bark. This is a tradition preserved from the last night war horse three, the willow whistle can distinguish different teams from different pitches, and some whistles can be issued through simple and clear long and short tones. Several training sessions in the reeds made the sergeants feel that in the reed ditch with tall grass on both sides, the willow whistle is more effective than the flag.

And in the armies of later generations, the commanding role of the banner became smaller and smaller, so that it completely degenerated into a symbol of honor. In the military, there are radio stations, flags, lanterns, military horns, sentinels, and passwords that play the role of communication and command.

The military horn has a simple structure, a loud pronunciation, and good long-distance transmission, and there are often charge, wake-up, and lights-out signals in film and television dramas, which should be relatively easy to promote and apply. Sun Yi then carefully studied a troop that was good at using copper horns, and was surprised to find that military horns could issue 107 kinds of orders:

There are 13 types of service numbers: getting up, going out to exercise, collecting exercises, eating, going to class, getting out of class, lunch break, lunch break, games, late roll call, lights out, assembly (assembly), emergency assembly;

There are 11 types of contact numbers: ask the team name, know, don't know, pass the horn sound, can't pass through, where are you, here, pay attention to the order, move closer to me, ordinary question, ordinary answer;

10 types of action numbers: standing, resting, running, returning, resting, preparing, getting on the bus, getting off, starting work, and finishing work;

There are 28 kinds of nominal numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, battalion commander, battalion deputy, instructor, deputy teacher, company commander, company deputy, instructor, deputy commander, platoon commander, platoon deputy, trumpet leader;

There are 16 types of company arms: commander, commander, soldier, guard company, machine gun company, reconnaissance company, special service company, militia, cavalry, artillery, tank troops, engineering troops, railway troops, airborne troops, anti-chemical troops, and mechanized troops;

There are 26 types of combat orders: advance, stop, charge, disperse, close, pursue, retreat to position, discover the enemy, encounter with the enemy, counterattack, retreat of the enemy, occupy position, enter the tunnel, left, right, air defense, anti-atomic, anti-chemical, anti-bacteriological, disarm, ask for ammunition, ammunition has gone, ask for reinforcements, reinforcements have gone, want stretcher, stretcher has gone;

Various orders can also be combined, for example, with a military horn, it is completely possible to blow out such a complex order as "the second company advances, and the third company retreats to the position".

The task of issuing orders with military trumpets is a bit of a big deal, not only to train trumpeters, but also to train all non-commissioned officers to understand orders.

Programmer Sun adhered to the concept of hierarchical design in later generations, and first simplified and encoded military orders.

There are 5 types of ordinary commands, numbered 11-15: assemble, emergency assemble, alarm, salute, rest

9 types of battle orders, numbered 21-29: forward, stop, charge, disperse, form formation, pursue, retreat, left, right;

7 types of battle reports, numbered 31-37: Spotting the enemy, encountering the enemy, retreating the enemy, preventing poison and arrows, asking for reinforcements, asking for ambulance;

No. 41-49, military order reserved.

No. 51-99, reserved for communications.

All non-commissioned officers are required to be able to understand 5 common commands;

Soldiers and militia are required to understand 5 types of ordinary orders and 9 types of battle orders;

Officers above the rank of commander are also required to understand seven types of battle reports.

Considering the mathematical level of ordinary Ming Dynasty people, 0 does not appear in the number.

Then, according to their respective characteristics, Sun Yi designed the basic codes of flags, gestures, willow whistles, two-handed flags, and lanterns from 1 to 9, and went to the staff headquarters with the plan.

There was a lot of noise in the staff department, and everyone was arguing about what was going on. Daoist Jia swayed leisurely through the crowd. Since the establishment of the General Staff, he has been wandering around here all day long, strategist, don't you just want to lead the General Staff, but unfortunately he doesn't understand what the old soldiers say.

Daoist Jia got the feather fan he had always dreamed of. The fan is made entirely of special feathers on the wings of wild ducks, and has a natural blue mirror-like reflective band in the center of the fan. Jia Daoshi couldn't put it down, he held it in his hand every day, shook it a few times when he met someone in the staff department, and then pretended to say profoundly, "I am my master's adviser, I want to stay calm." ”

Seeing the military order code that the master took out, Daoist Jia's feather fan fell to the ground with a "snap". "This, this, this is not as long as you can count from one to nine, you can command thousands of troops!"

An old soldier picked up the feather fan for him and whispered to Jia Daoshi, "Calm down, stay calm!" ”

Jia Daoshi looked at the codes from one to nine drawn by Li De Ye, all of them were simple and clear. Take sign language as an example, raising the arm above the head and clenching the fist is one, extending the palm is two, raising the fist diagonally is three, stretching the palm is four, raising the fist horizontally is five, stretching the palm is six, clenching the fist obliquely down is seven, stretching the palm is eight, and the arm hanging down is nine. The two-handed flag language is slightly changed on the basis of sign language, and the arm posture remains the same, so that the flag is horizontally held as a singular number, and the horizontal extension is a double number, and the left and right hands each hold a small flag of a color, which can represent two digits at once.

Ignoring Daoist Jia's amazement, Sun Yi said to the veterans sincerely, "This is what I came up with behind closed doors, whether it is suitable on the battlefield or not, please discuss it." ”

Immediately, a veteran proposed that the battle order should be as simple and clear as possible, easy to remember and distinguish, and it was not suitable to be compiled in 21-29. In sign language, for example, it is not appropriate to pose twice to issue an order. It's best to get a simple 1-9.

Sun Yishen thought so. He had skipped the single digit to avoid coding confusion, but he didn't take into account the fact that every second counts on the battlefield.

Some veterans pointed out that the order of forward, stop, charge, disperse, formation, pursuit, retreat, left and right from one to nine was not in the right order. For example, holding one hand high, clenching a fist is one to advance, and stretching out one's palm is to stop, which is easy to misunderstand. It is suggested that it should be changed to raise a fist with one hand to stop, extend the palm to retreat, clench the fist with one hand diagonally in front of the fist to pursue, and extend the palm to charge. The horizontal side extension of one hand is spread, and the horizontal side flexion arm is a formation. Diagonally down to the right means to the right, diagonally down to the front is forward, and diagonally down to the left is to the left.

Sun Yi is as good as a stream.

In this way, the veterans discussed various situations with Li De Ye, and improved the flag order, whistle order, password order, sign language order, two-handed flag language order, and lamp language command one by one, and finally launched the first complete military order system of the Wolf Mountain Army.
