It is said that the right wing of Manchukuo was defeated and retreated, and Ming'an Taiji, who was stationed in the north entrance of the Shimen Waterway, was ordered to cut off the rear for the whole army.

Witnessing the miserable condition of the defeated Manchurian army when it passed through Beikouzi, Ming An was shocked.

The mighty Manchurian soldiers couldn't defeat the allied army, so how could the Mongol cavalry of Ming'an alone be able to defeat the allied army's thunder and lightning skills?

In the midst of anxiety, the coalition forces sent someone to deliver the news. Frankly said that the coalition forces would not attack Ming'an, and Ming'an should not be in a hurry to withdraw, and the coalition forces would return the captured Mongol soldiers in a few days.

Ming An was full of emotion. The coalition forces kept their word, and their casual words to Dahai actually saved their tribe.

Two days later, the coalition forces delivered all the Mongol prisoners as promised; Ming'an cleaned up the Beikouzi Barrier City and handed it over to the coalition forces in its entirety.

The two sides agreed to continue to maintain this state of secret peace in the future and to facilitate each other.

Few people on the coalition side paid attention to the sending off of the Mongol prisoners of war, because there were too many major events happening in the coalition forces in the past few days.

Everyone's enthusiasm for the "dead diaphragm" has not yet subsided, and the news of the reorganization of the coalition forces and the establishment of the federation is immediately overwhelming.

The coalition forces seized a large number of weapons at Shimen and replenished a large number of Dalinghe veterans; The people of Jiuyuan were inspired by the victory, and when they heard that the coalition forces were going to defend Jiuyuan, their enthusiasm for joining the army was extremely high. The number of people who restrict the development of the army in the Wolf Mountains and Rivers is not a problem at all, and what the coalition forces need to do is to restrain the urge to expand the army.

Yang Ritian, Sun Dingliao, and the General Staff Department weighed it again and again and decided to popularize the three-three system of one battalion throughout the army.

The 1st Battalion was transferred and supplemented several times in this battle, and because of the adoption of the 33 system, the tactics at all levels were highly consistent, and there was basically no direct damage to the 1st Battalion's combat strength. Practice has proved that the three-three system is more effective than the two-five system that was popular at this time.

When Chongzhen was five years old, the establishment of the battalion could be large or small. The Ming Dynasty was completely divided into battalions based on garrisons, and the strength of a battalion could be as little as 500 or as many as 5,000. On the steppe, an Etok is called a battalion, and all the arrows of Etok are battalion soldiers.

Yang Ritian, Sun Dingliao, and the General Staff Department decided to expand the four-level, three-three system of the first battalion's corps, trade, squad, and team to five, leaving room for future development. That is, the three woods are a row, or a row; Three lines are a squad, or a sentry; Three squadrons are one squadron, or simply one squadron, and one squad is one hundred and forty men; Three squadrons are one wing; Above the wing is the battalion.

As for the armament of non-commissioned officers, the individual equipment of the three battalions was completely copied. That is, composite fiber helmets, cuirasses, leggings, and bast shoes.

In order to alleviate the supply pressure of Langshan River, the leather cases of bast shoes, linen leggings, and cuirasses were all provided by Jiuyuan, and Changsheng Township concentrated on the production of composite fiber helmets urgently needed by the coalition forces.

As for the composite fiber armor in the cuirass, it was temporarily replaced by porcelain armor pieces, pottery armor pieces, and even wooden armor pieces and pot helmet buns made of two and a half miles.

After the reorganization, the first battalion, the third battalion, the second and a half battalions, and the Machi battalion will be different. The first battalion and the third battalion were the main battalions, the first battalion was more focused on attacking and defending, and the third battalion was more focused on long-distance running. The Erli and a half battalion and the Machi battalion were used as garrison battalions, the Erli and a half battalions were more guarded, and the Machi battalion was more vigilant.

The main force of the first battalion consisted of three squadrons of soldiers, collectively known as a wing of soldiers, totaling 420 men. Yang Liulang served as the battalion commander, with a deputy battalion commander and a battalion staff officer; The battalion headquarters is directly subordinate to a communications corps, a health corps, a combat squad, an artillery squad, a 10,000-enemy squad, a cavalry squad, and an armed civilian transport corps with an indefinite number of people. The weapons of the artillery squad are mainly tiger squat guns, and the weapons of the 10,000-strong enemy squad are explosives, mines, and tear gas. The battalion is about 630 people in peacetime and as many as 1,000 in wartime.

Li Guang was the commander of the third battalion, which consisted of three squadrons of light infantry, a squadron of 10,000 enemies, and a crack battalion headquarters, with an establishment of 600 people.

Niu Guangtian, commander of the Erli and a half battalion, and Kong Youxing, chief of staff of the battalion. The soldiers of the Erli and Ban Battalion were all locals from Erli and Banxiang and had just learned to fight, so he specially asked Kong Youxing to take a few veterans to set up a battalion staff headquarters.

The Erli and a Half Battalion has three garrison squadrons and a strong squadron of mountain soldiers. The three garrison squadrons only keep one skeleton in peacetime, which is responsible for the daily training of the militia, and in wartime, the militia is expanded; The mountain fighter squadron is on standby, specially trained to drill ravines.

In addition to the people of Machi Township, the soldiers of the Machi Battalion also recruited people from other townships. Headquartered in Machi, it has three squadrons, one cavalry squadron and one water patrol transport team, which are responsible for guarding various dangers and performing daily patrol, vigilance, and public security tasks. The battalion commander was temporarily concurrently served by Wen Shen, the head of Jiuyuan, and the battalion commander was reappointed after the militia of Jiuyuan townships was established.

In addition to the four battalions, an elite cavalry was formed with excellent nomadic riders.

Riders are each equipped with two or even three horses. There are three teams for every three, and three teams are in a row. Three platoons are a squad, with a squad leader, totaling 28 people. The three squadrons are one squadron, with a squadron leader and a communications officer, totaling 86 people. The three squadrons are a wing, with a joint commander, a deputy wing commander, a horse chief, three signal troops, three health guards, and a platoon of guards, with a total of 276 personnel.

Consider that a cavalry wing has only 276 men, and the number of horses is between 600 and 800. Thanks to the habit of joining the army on the steppe is to bring their own war horses, otherwise the coalition forces would not be able to buy so many excellent horses anyway. Even so, if there were more horses, the coalition forces would not be able to raise them!

The competition for signing up for the cavalry wing was fierce, because the conditions offered by the coalition were too tempting. Once selected, the rider's family can take an oath separately and directly settle in Jiuyuan or Tieguo; The rider immediately received warrior fame; In addition to the bows and daggers that the riders bring, the coalition will be equipped with electric three-eyed guns or electric grenadiers specifically for cavalry, and the coalition will also promise to equip them with other state-of-the-art weapons, such as grenades, arrow mines, and the mysterious "War Horse Boom Training".

There are also changes to the Sailor. The General Staff specially staffed the naval division with a squadron of fighters for landing missions. The outer reeds of Bu 19's flagship Changsheng have been broken and lost their maintenance value, and the people of Machi have "replaced" the Changsheng with one of their own wooden ferries, which is still named Changsheng. The new Changsheng, which was modified by Okisaku Wenshen, became the first wooden armored waterjet ship in the history of the coalition forces.

The General Staff gathered some of the gunners among the veterans of the Daling River, recruited some new recruits, and formally established an artillery squadron. The artillery squadrons were armed with shotgun-firing Tiger squat cannons and grapeball-firing generals' cannons, and the artillery was transported by sailors for long distances and cattle for short distances.

As for the four captured Hongyi cannons, Manchukuo was a treasure, but the coalition forces were of little use. The main role of the Hongyi cannon is to siege the city, smashing the city wall one by one. The coalition army will not attack other people's cities, and if the coalition forces really want to attack the city, it is better to use the Hongyi cannon to send someone to dig a pit under the city wall and bury some explosives. Therefore, the coalition forces used four 3,000-pound Hongyi cannons purely as 12,000 catties of fine iron, which were first blown up and then melted to create three-eyed guns and grenadiers.

After the reorganization, the coalition army needed a large number of generals, and the chief of staff, Sun Dingliao, began his cramming rapid training again. Sun Yi jokingly called Sun Dingliao the principal of the "Yellow River Military Academy", and just after the training of the "Yellow River Phase I" began the "Yellow River Phase II".

Sun Dingliao earnestly asked what was the Yellow River Military Academy? What are "Yellow River Phase I" and "Yellow River Phase II"?

Sun Yi explained indiscriminately: "There is a school run by a person named Sun Dacang in our hometown to learn the art of war. The students learned to be arranged in the first phase, the second phase, the third phase, and the fourth phase...... Sun Cannon relied on these students to form an army, known as the First Army, and bought advanced weapons from Lao Maozi, and this army alone swept all the warlords from south to north. ”

Sun Dingliao asked nervously: "Did Sun Cannon achieve great things later?" ”

Sun Yi replied: "No." Sun Cannon later fell out with Lao Mao Ziguo. Lao Mao Ziguo turned to support a man named Mao Dashuai, Mao Dashuai got better weapons, and still relied on an army, known as the first field, to drive Sun Cannon from the northernmost all the way back to the southernmost side, and Mao Dashuai finally won the world. ”

Sun Dingliao asked: "So, does Mao Dashuai have a school to learn the art of war?" ”

Sun Yi replied: "Not really." ”

Sun Dingliao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that advanced weapons are the most important. I also want to set up a school for the art of war. ”

It seems that Sun Dingliao has always wanted to set up a systematic military school, but he was worried that Sun Yi would suspect him of forming a party in the army, so he adopted a quick cramming style of hasty training.

However, Sun Yi thought about it seriously.

Sun Cannon did not fire a single shot in the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and won the world by relying on the Northern Expedition of the First Army. At that time, the whole world imposed an arms embargo on China, and the source of weapons for various warlords was in question, and many of them were still using bird guns. Only Lao Maozi was not in the League of Nations, so all kinds of light and heavy firepower spread out happily to the first army. When the Guangzhou merchant group rioted, the Whampoa army did its best, and the result was uneven. At the critical moment, a cruiser of Maozi brought thousands of Mosin-Nagant rifles and immediately got them.

Mao Dashuai did not make great achievements in driving away the Japanese invaders, and won the world by relying on the first wild south. It is said that the first field relied on artillery, and the opponent reflected that the artillery of the first field was more powerful than the Japanese invaders, so the artillery of the first field was naturally not captured by the Japanese invaders, and it was impossible for the first field to make it himself, and the logical explanation could only be given by Lao Maozi.

So, it is true that advanced weapons are the most important. It was the advanced weapons that made the First Army, and then the First Army made the Whampoa Military Academy. A single Whampoa principal really can't do anything.

So Sun Yi said briskly: "Running a military academy is originally a matter of the General Staff, ask me what I do!" ”

As a result, the Yellow River Military Academy was formally established, with the chief of staff concurrently serving as the principal of the military academy, and a systematic and long-term training plan for squad leaders, squadron leaders, and wing commanders was formulated, and four training subjects were set up separately: signal troops, sanitary troops, artillery, and 10,000 enemies.
