After Ge Changchun led the Third Regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army back to Luzhou, Wang Mo did not exercise the authority of the chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, but became the shopkeeper and ordered the various departments of the Zhenfu Mansion to handle various government affairs on their own.

Putting aside the important military and political affairs of the Zhenfu Mansion, it does not mean that Wang Mo has been spending all his time drinking and getting drunk from now on. On the contrary, he is almost busy every day, and he is busy with only one thing, and that is - recruitment!

Wang Mo did not set up a recruitment point in Chongqing, but split the special operations battalion into recruitment squads and sent them to various towns and villages in the surrounding areas of Chongqing to recruit soldiers from among the children of peasant families. The children of peasant families are honest and responsible, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and they rarely have anything to do with the Pao Brother organization, and they are definitely the best soldiers.

Wang Mo only used one sentence to arouse great enthusiasm for recruiting troops from top to bottom of the special operations battalion: "After the establishment of the Chongqing Division, you will serve as officers at all levels. As for whether your soldiers are good or bad, it depends on what quality of soldiers you can find. ”

For a newly established army, if it wants to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, the most difficult thing is not to recruit enough soldiers, but to have enough grassroots officers.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Brigade, Wang Mo was prepared for the current situation. Wang Mo's establishment of the special combat team is not only to train an elite unit, but also to train a group of officers who can adapt to his tactics and tactics through personal practice and using himself as a template. In other words, the Wolf Special Operations Brigade can also be called a teaching team that can be called the cradle of officers.

Wang Mo is still very confident in the soldiers of the special operations battalion that he personally brought out, and they are definitely capable enough to become competent grassroots officers.

As long as the 300 or so people of the special operations battalion were sent out to serve as officers at all levels, the skeleton of the Chongqing Division would be erected in an instant. After that, as long as enough soldiers were recruited, after some training, a Chongqing division with strong combat effectiveness would truly take shape.

On the outskirts of Chongqing, a recruit training camp.

Groups of recruiting teams continued to lead the recruited recruits back to the recruit training camp, and tens of thousands of nearly 10,000 people were crammed into the camp at once, and the whole camp was a mess, noisy and noisy.

Wang Mo's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "Lu Dayong, Li Jian, Zhang Wei, Lao Tzu will give you half an hour to put the recruits of your own regiment in order." In half an hour, if there are any recruits who are as messy as they are now, roll off the throne of the regimental commander you just sat on! ”

Lu Dayong, Li Jian, and Zhang Wei looked dazed, and they dared to slack off, and immediately led their officers to rush towards the recruits. It's not the first time they've brought recruits, so they naturally know how to make the recruits obey orders and form a queue in the shortest possible time.

The regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders all rushed at the recruits with fierce looks, either punching and kicking, or shooting intimidation, or shouting and scolding, so that the recruits realized the strict military discipline of the army for the first time.

Corporal punishment was wrong, but it did have a significant effect, and the recruits quickly formed a neat queue and no one was babbling about anything.

Wang Mo took a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "It's all for Lao Tzu to remember, Lao Tzu doesn't matter who you are, whether it's Chenjiaqiao, Shiping, or any other towns and villages, when you enter the gate of this barracks, you all have only one identity, that is, Lao Tzu's soldiers!"

How to be a good soldier will be something you will learn in the coming months, and the commanders who recruit you will be responsible for teaching you!

I'm just here to tell you one thing, and that's the rules!

Everything in the army must be disciplined, walking must be disciplined, eating must be disciplined, sleeping must be disciplined, even you fucking shit and pee must be disciplined!

Whoever fails to follow the rules and fails to complete the recruit training will be sent home, and the benefits enjoyed by the family will also be revoked! ”

Wang Mo's treatment of these soldiers is not bad, the salary of three oceans per month can only be regarded as a small amount, and what really makes these recruits value is various welfare benefits such as tax reductions for military dependents. Moreover, with the brand of the military family of the Chongqing Division, their families will no longer be exploited and bullied by those local tyrants and shoddy gentry, which is what every officer in charge of recruiting has assured the soldiers' families.

No recruit wants to be sent home in disgrace, not to mention that the benefits he has now will be deprived, or he will not be able to raise his head and be a man in the future.

After this day, Wang Mo almost lived in the recruit training camp, personally supervising various recruit training.

As Wang Mo said, the most important thing in the barracks is the rules. In the first month of recruit training, no tactical skills training was carried out, and all training programs revolved around the word "discipline".

Through queue training, through dining order, through boring training such as housekeeping, discipline is gradually integrated into the bone marrow of recruits.

A month later, Wang Mo held a meeting to discuss the tactical skills training subjects of the recruits.

Lu Dayong, commander of the 1st Regiment, Li Jian, commander of the 2nd Regiment, Zhang Wei, commander of the 3rd Regiment, Jiang Yiming, commander of the newly appointed artillery regiment, and regimental-level officers of several regiments attended the meeting as observers.

"It's been a month of recruit training, and I'm very satisfied with everyone's work, you guys have worked hard!" Wang Mo praised it, and then said, "However, I think you all understand that the first month's training is just the foundation of the foundation, and it is nothing, and the next training is what kind of combat effectiveness the division can have." ”

"Please rest assured, we will do our best, pay close attention to training, and successfully complete all training subjects!"

The officers attending the meeting expressed their stance one after another, and no one had the slightest slackness, after all, the results of this training were also related to the combat effectiveness of the troops they would lead in the future.

Wang Mo nodded his satisfaction and said: "Next, we will conduct all kinds of tactical skill training, and the most important thing is that you must screen out the corresponding technical troops, such as machine gunners, sharpshooters, gunners, and so on. As long as you think which soldier is suitable for training in which technical arms, report his list, and I will gather them together for professional combat skills training. ”

Lu Dayong asked, "But young marshal, how do we know which soldier is suitable for training which technical arms?" ”

Other officers also had such questions, and Wang Mo replied: "First of all, it mainly depends on whether the soldiers like it or not, and whether they are willing or not, you can let them sign up for the training of technical arms by themselves." Secondly, it can allow soldiers to get their hands on all kinds of weapons once, and whether they have talent or not, it will be clear once they actually operate it. ”

The main reason for this selection of soldiers of the technical arms is to shorten the time for the technical arms to form combat effectiveness.

At this time, Jiang Yiming, the commander of the artillery regiment, asked again: "Young marshal, what should we do with our artillery regiment?" ”

Yes, what about the artillery regiment, you can't shoot one cannon per soldier, the shells consumed will go to the sea.

The artillery regiment has always been the top priority of Wang Mo's attention, of course, it is impossible to ignore it, and said: "Isn't there a primary mathematics class in the study class we hold in the evening, teach it for another month, conduct a general examination, and select soldiers with good grades in the primary mathematics class for artillery training." ”

Wang Moke was very ambitious about the first main field division under his personal control, and not only made intensive arrangements for various training subjects during the day, but also forcibly arranged cultural classes for various subjects at night, and for this purpose, he also temporarily transferred 20 instructors from southern Sichuan.

Of course, Wang Mo did not expect these illiterate soldiers to improve their level of cultural knowledge just after a few cultural classes in the evening, which was also a screening process. Those who can learn something in the cultural class will be listed by Wang Mo as a priority for promotion. In the same way, soldiers who can show a natural talent that is superior to ordinary people in mathematics will be screened for professional artillery training.

This is the disadvantage of the low quality of the people, and Wang Mo really has no choice but to shorten the time for the division to form combat effectiveness through this method that is not a method.

Facts have proved that Wang Mo's method is quite effective. Soldiers with natural talents and specialties are screened out and then subjected to specialized technical training, which greatly speeds up the training process of technical arms.

As for the training of ordinary soldiers, it is relatively simple, Wang Mo spent hundreds of thousands of bullets, at least to practice the most important shooting skills of soldiers.

The training of the division was in full swing, and everything seemed to be running in an orderly manner in Chongqing.

However, Wang Mo's move of letting go of the Zhenfu Mansion and not interfering and focusing on military training not only did not reassure all forces in Chongqing, but many people were worried, and there was always an ominous premonition that they were about to face a volcanic eruption, and Luo Xuzhang of Renzitang and He Hong of Yizitang were two of the most worried.

Tao Yi Tea Garden, a quiet and elegant box.

Luo Xuzhang looked worried, and couldn't calm down even after drinking several cups of tea, and said a little irritably: "Brother He, I always feel that it is not good, Chief Wang ignores the practice of the Zhenfu Mansion at all, and hides in the barracks outside the city all day to train soldiers. is so forbearing, I'm afraid there is a big plan. ”

He Hong said hatefully: "Wang Mo, this melon baby, actually went to the countryside to recruit soldiers, and he didn't recruit anyone who had anything to do with our robe brother, which was obviously coming at our robe brother." ”

Luo Xuzhang sighed and said, "It seems that Qian Sande is right, our chief elder has no good impression of our robe brother, and sooner or later he will have to do something to our robe brother." ”

Syllable!

He Hong slapped the table and scolded: "Hammer, if he dares to touch our brother robe, then we will gather all the 'public mouths' in Chongqing to organize a strike and strike, so that Chongqing City will be completely paralyzed." Do you really think that if you run to train a soldier and come out, you can take care of our robe? ”

When Luo Xuzhang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "This is a good way, as long as Wang Mo can understand this, I believe that if he has any scruples, he will not easily touch our robe brother." ”

Luo Xuzhang didn't want to have an armed conflict with Wang Mo, because he understood that Wang Mo, who had the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army as his backer, would not lose no matter what.

"That's right, as long as our robe brother is in a group, our robe brother will have the final say when this Chongqing city is." He Hong said.

The advantage of the Elders' Association lies in its intertwined roots, its tentacles penetrate all strata of Chongqing society, and its influence is huge. This is the biggest obstacle for Wang Mo to clear the Elder Brotherhood and truly rule Chongqing
