Chapter 110: The Great Expansion of the Army

Deyang was suffering every day, and every time the New People's Army captured a county seat, he would send news to tell the people in the city how the New People's Army had progressed recently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before solving this Deyang, Yang Dongfang first reorganized and adjusted the troops and appointed himself as the commander! So he was complained by the system again, and he had to reward the prestige value of the big ticket.

At the same time, the original main regiments were promoted to the main divisions.

The guard regiment was changed to the guard division, with three regiments below, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd guard regiments, and a cavalry battalion, with Hu Gan as the division commander,

The artillery regiment was promoted to a new artillery brigade, directly under the name of the commander, although there were only a few dozen new guns, in line with the concept of not allowing artillery to wait for others, it was first trained on a shelf. As for the hundreds of artillery pieces captured by the Qing army, each division built its own artillery battalions.

The 2nd Regiment was promoted to the 2nd Division, the division commander was Tie 13, and each battalion commander below was promoted to regimental commander, and the four regiments were the 2nd Regiment, 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

The 3rd Brigade was also promoted to the 3rd Division, and the division commander Li He was all composed of troops under the former Liangjiang Command. There are also four regiments below, namely the 3rd regiment, 30, 31, and 32. The original 5th Regiment was changed to 30th Regiment.

The 4th Regiment was promoted to the 4th Division, the division commander, Dai Rufeng, and the following three regiments were composed of the Security Regiment and the Engineer Regiment under the original Sanjiang Command, excluding the Sanjiang Water Division. Below are the 4th regiment, 40, 41.

The 5th Division remains unchanged, it is still three regiments, the division commander Cai Zhi, and below is the 5th regiment, 50, and 51.

The 1st Independent Regiment was changed to the 6th Division, and the division commander Liu Yongfu was composed of the original headquarters of the 1st Independent Regiment plus the Qianwei Security Brigade. The next three regiments were the 6th, 60th, and 61st regiments.

Five main battle divisions, each with 1,000 Mini rifles, were distributed to increase firepower.

The 2nd Independent Regiment was changed to the 7th Brigade, with the brigade commander Li Xiongxiong and the following two regiments. They are the 7th Regiment, the 70th Regiment.

The Kang Southwest Independent Column was changed to the Kang Southwest Independent Brigade, and 500 flintlock muskets were allocated, and the numbers were the 101st Regiment and the 102nd Regiment.

The North Sichuan Independent Brigade was changed to the North Sichuan Independent Division, and Ge Hui was transferred from the guard regiment to serve as the division commander. The number territories are the 103rd Regiment, the 104th Regiment, and the 105th Regiment.

The 8th Brigade was established, with the brigade commander Ren Tianming, and the 8th Regiment and 80th Regiment below, which were composed of the Engineer Regiment of the Security Regiment that followed the battle in Sichuan.

The original 8 gates and 8 security regiments of the Tiandihui were changed to such a nondescript unit as the Dongjin Division, with four regiments in the division, which was downsized and integrated due to the damage caused in the early stage of combat. They were the 9th Regiment, 90th, 91st, and 92nd, and the division commander Hong Xing was transferred from Cai Zhi's command.

The Three Banners (Han Banner, Manchu Banner, and Mongolian Banner) Anti-Flag Alliance Column is composed of the original Green Battalion Han Eight Banners, Manchu Eight Banners, and Mongolian Second Banners captives, and is composed of a regiment, which in principle exists in the form of a mascot, and is used to propagate and disintegrate the enemy's morale.

There are still a security regiment in the following prefectures, cities, prefectures, and cities, and security battalions in county towns, and security companies in towns and townships.

At the same time as the reorganization and adjustment, three temporary commands were established.

The first is the headquarters of the Right Route Army in eastern Sichuan, led by Dai Rufeng with the 4th Division and the Sanjiang Water Division down the river, attacking eastern Sichuan and attacking Chongqing.

The second is the headquarters of the Left Route Army in eastern Sichuan, led by Li He and the eastward division to attack eastern Sichuan from the direction of Guang'an and attack Chongqing.

The third is the Chengdu Theater Command, the 2nd Iron 13th Training Division, to capture Deyang, deploy the Chengdu Plain and the Sichuan Basin, and exterminate all the landlord forces and bandits of the puppet Qing forces that are still stubborn.

In other respects, the 6th Division was transferred to garrison the Luzhou area of Xuzhou, the 5th Division was transferred to defend the Tieshan area, Neijiang, Ziyang, and Jiazhou were deployed, and the 7th Brigade was transferred to Yazhou, commanding the Kangxi Southwest Independent Brigade to sweep away the reactionary Tusi such as Kangxi Mabiansi and Ningyuanfu, especially the Laozhai of Wang Songlin and Ling Chengen.

On the premise that Li Xiongxiong conquered Jianmen Pass, the Northern Sichuan Independent Division continued to move north, captured Guangyuan and kicked Xiao Qinggao's rear, guarded Guangyuan and Bazhong, and alerted Xiao Qinggao, the Hunan general in Hanzhong, at any time. (Due to Hong Xiuquan's order, Chen Decai, the former king of Hanzhong, led the army east back to Nanjing to rescue him, and Hanzhong was just recaptured by Xiao Qinggao)

The 8th Brigade is stationed in Shunqing Mansion (Nanchong)

"Boss, this time it's really cheap and fat, you actually let him go to fight Chuandong." Hearing the adjusted order, Tie Thirteen sighed and regretted it, like a little resentful woman:

"I knew that I wouldn't let the 2nd Division rest at that time, but now it's okay, I just beat Hu Zhonghe, and I don't have my share in anything else."

"Don't worry, there will be a battle in the future, you know, the fat man has been nesting on the mountain, how many times has he guarded, let him vent well this time, after the fight in Chuandong, I am ready to let him guard Chuandong, and the future battle is not for you to come."

Yang Dongfang explained a sentence or two: "Your 2nd Division is all new recruits, all of them were transferred from the engineer battalion, although they followed me to the middle of the river once and saw blood a few times, but they still need to train well, otherwise your 2nd Division is just a showmanship, you will never want to command such a unit to win the battle." ”

Tie 13 nodded, there was no way, he just nagged a few words, this time the troops under the original command of the attack on the east of Sichuan were all under the original command, basically unchanged, and only these two troops were the most suitable to continue the attack.

The other units had a large number of new recruits and needed to be trained, consisting of the 2nd Division and the 8th Brigade.

But as soon as he thought of this, Tie 13 was a little puzzled, and asked: "Boss, then why did you transfer the 6th Division to Xuzhou, Liu Yongfu's people are not considered recruits?" You don't have any plans, do you? ”

The current Iron Thirteen is much smarter than before, and he loves to use his brain, and if he thinks about it a little deeply, he knows that there is something greasy in it.

Yang Dongfang didn't hide it from him, but said: "This is really there, do you know?" You go to the map, our east is Hunan, that is the lair of the Hunan army, it is easy to move him, it is not easy to move, it is not easy to move, looking at the north, it is a pot of porridge, killing it is called a dark sky, and it is not suitable for us to take it now. Therefore, in the next stage, our strategy is to defend in the east and attack in the west, focusing on Yunnan, Guizhou and western Guangxi. ”

"Yes! Boss, you want to solve your worries first, and have a stable big rear, in the figure of a certain other. ”

Yang Dongfang nodded, shook his head again, and said: "That's right, it's not entirely true, it is necessary to have a stable rear, which is conducive to the future planning of our army, but more importantly, our New People's Army needs an outlet to the sea." ”

"Access to the sea"

Tie Thirteen didn't know why, puzzled, his strategic long-term light has not reached Yang Dongfang's high, even now most Chinese do not pay much attention to the sea, not to mention the sea mouth.

Yang Dongfang also patiently taught him, so he took the map, pointed to the map and said: "See, Guangxi used to be Qinzhou in Guangdong, and there is a place called Fangchenggang and Beihai, this section is a good port, with the port here, we can communicate with Xiyi, learn from them, do business with them, and most importantly, buy their weapons and machines, and develop and expand our army and industry." ”

Iron Thirteen still doesn't quite understand, and the confusion in his mind is even more, what is industry?

However, Yang Dongfang didn't plan to give him an encyclopedia this time, so he only said: "When I went out of Sichuan, I ordered more than 10,000 rifles from the British, along with hundreds of artillery. You only have to train your subordinates with peace of mind, and then you will naturally have new weapons for the 2nd Division, and then it will be the time for your 2nd Division to go out to fight in Sichuan. ”

"And what and a rifle. Boss, is it the same as the rifle of the guard division? ”

Yang Dongfang nodded, the smile on Tie Thirteen's face became even thicker, and Yang Dongfang said angrily when he saw it: "This kind of gun is not very good, wait for it, wait for our industry to develop, and then make a classic rifle, then it will be called powerful." ”

Tie Thirteen was appeased by the new rifle, it turned out that the industry was to make guns, well, this industry is good, so he wholeheartedly wanted to catch the training, and after he left, Hong Ming came over and said: "Dashuai, the people of the 8th gate are looking for you, they want to talk about the problem of the Eastward Division." ”
