097 Military Reform (II)

After Li Xiang's speech, the vigorous military reform officially began.

The first to rectify was Zhang Fangluo's special forces. This team was originally set up by Li Xiang to enhance the combat effectiveness and mobility of the volunteers, and Li Xiang was also founded at that time based on the experience of later generations and the conditions at that time. This trip, combined with marching and fighting, and communicating with Li Jing, Li Xiang had a deeper understanding.

Li Xiangxian selected 210 soldiers from among the best in this special force to form a special operations brigade, which was subordinate to the special forces. He also gave the special operations brigade the task of special training, and directly sorted out the experience and training methods he summed up and handed it over to Zhang Fangluo.

He Feng also asked He Feng to choose a special site on the other side of the Longmen Valley as a training base for the special operations brigade. took out the money from the treasury, specially asked craftsmen to build some equipment needed for the training of the special operations brigade, and told Zhang Fangluo that during this time, he would first grasp the basic training according to the training outline, and then come over to personally guide after Li Xiangjiang completed the reorganization of other teams in the Volunteer Army.

Then Li Xiang set about rectifying the reconnaissance battalion. The reconnaissance battalion has been following Li Xiang since they left Longmen, whether it is to rob the emperor bar or to put it on their backs, they are all personally led by Li Xiang, whether it is on the march or between battles, as long as Li Xiang occasionally thinks of something, he will directly teach it to them, so their rectification is the most relaxed.

It is nothing more than to take the original scouts from the rough, cut out some of the soldiers who are not suitable to be scouts, and specially transfer some people with strong tracking and spying ability from the shadows to supplement them, and ask them to be captains and hand them over to his soldiers little by little. In this way, this reconnaissance battalion suddenly became more powerful, and Li Xiang believed that in the near future, this spearhead army would be his brightest eyes in the world.

Immediately after that, the reorganization of the ordinary combat battalion was followed, and Li Xiang broke up the new battalions and assigned them to various veteran battalions, so that the old could lead the new. He also equipped them with many new weapons, and gathered some of the outstanding low-level officers among them and sent them to the Longmen Academy for short-term training, and also let Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng take turns to be gentlemen, explaining to them combat knowledge and the art of war. Li Xiang knew very well that these young low-level officers would be his sharp knives and fangs in the Quartet.

In the end, Li Xiang also established a new branch of the Volunteer Army, cavalry and medical soldiers. This time he went to the grassland, contacted the Sange tribe through Uncle Liang, and also opened up the channel to buy horses from the grassland, and a steady stream of good horses will be sent to Longmen in the future, which are indispensable and important resources for him to establish cavalry.

However, there are not too many horses in the army now, and Li Xiang can only establish a framework on a small scale, with a cavalry lineup of less than three hundred.

In addition, the medical soldiers only set up two teams of less than 50 people, and Li Xiang handed them over to Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor, to teach, so that they could simply learn how to fight ambulance.

After all these were done, Li Xiang called Qin Qiong to the big tent alone, he still had an indispensable team to build in his heart, but this team must be kept secret, and it must not be easily used until the critical time, Qin Qiong is the most suitable leader of this team in his heart.

After five days in the barracks, basically the preliminary military reform has been completed, and all that remains is for the teams to slowly run in and train. Li Xiang once again gathered the generals into a big tent, reiterated the significance and role of this military reform, and warned them that they must train seriously and truly train the volunteers into a vanguard in a hundred battles.

After doing this, Li Xiang did not stop, and went directly along the valley to the other end, where was Zhang Fangluo's special brigade training camp.

In addition to Qin Qiong's secret team, this special brigade is what Li Xiang values the most, and it can be said that this team is the special forces among the special forces.

Integrating Li Xiang into the camp, Zhang Fangluo made a report on the situation of the team in the past few days, and there were still many problems in the middle, and he himself was not very clear, so he waited for Li Xiang to come to solve them.

Li Xiang smiled, and didn't say how to solve the problem first, but asked Zhang Fangluo to take him around in the training camp. The training camp is built at the mountain pass on the west side of Longmen Mountain, on the one hand, it is backed by the Longmen Mountain Canyon, which is inaccessible, and on the other hand, out of the mountain pass, there are barren mountain trails leading to various places in the north, south and west directions, which have long been discovered and controlled by Li Xiang's people.

There were no tents in the training camp, and all the rooms were built of wood according to Li Xiang's requirements. The beds were also newly made of wooden bunks, just like the barracks of later generations. There is a room for every twenty people, and the facilities in the room are simple, except for the bed, there is not much else.

The veterans who were designated as the leaders of the training team were all squad leaders in the original special forces, and each of them took a team of personnel to their respective rooms, arranged the beds of each team member, and distributed their daily necessities.

Each squad elects a squad leader under the supervision of the team leader, who manages the day-to-day affairs of the soldiers.

Li Xiang walked around, and he was quite satisfied, after all, Zhang Fangluo has always taken the special forces, and these basic trainings in the early stage were copied according to the special forces, and most of the soldiers were the excellent part of the special forces, so a lot of basic things were omitted from explaining and adapting to the training.

When Li Xiang returned to the barracks, he pulled a list for Zhang Fangluo and told him to go to He Feng to get things according to the list, remembering that each soldier had a set. Then he handed over the training manual and discipline manual of the special operations brigade that he had written, and asked him to arrange for the soldiers to memorize it within three days, and they would also be assessed from time to time.

From the time Li Xiang established the Volunteer Army, the special forces were the focus of his attention, and everyone was strictly required to learn basic literacy and writing. The current special operations brigades are all the best in the special forces, so there is no difficulty in learning this.

Zhang Fangluo didn't dare to waste time, so he cleaned up the place for Li Xiang to rest, and brought a dozen soldiers to He Feng to get something.

Two hours later, five or six large carts drove into the camp, Zhang Fangluo was busy with joy and asked the soldiers to unload the things on the cart, and hurried to see Li Xiang. As soon as they met, Zhang Fangluo said happily: "Du Wei, good things, haha, I didn't expect Du Wei to assign such good things to our special combat team, haha, you haven't seen Cheng Yanjin's envious eyes, haha, happy!" ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "The special combat team is the sharp knife of the volunteers, and it is also a miracle soldier in the future war, and you must use the best things to train the best combat effectiveness, and you don't have to be too happy." Since you have been given the best things, then your training should be much harsher and more arduous than theirs, and tell the brothers to be prepared in their hearts, there is no condition to talk about, and if you can't do it, you will leave the team directly. ”

Zhang Fangluo's heart tightened, knowing that he was a little carried away, so he quickly agreed. Li Xiang didn't care, he raised his leg and went outside to see what Zhang Fangluo had brought back.

The things in the car were all piled up one by one, and Li Xiang reached out and took one and opened it to take a look. He Feng gathered together the things that He Feng gave to each soldier according to Li Xiang's instructions.

There are re-improved sabers in the cloth bag, as well as triangular thorns, daggers, short knives, climbing ropes, small crossbows, etc., as well as a disassembled special crossbow, and the craftsmanship is already very good. What surprised Li Xiang was that the newly made telescope, whether it was the production of the lens tube or the glass lens, has changed a lot from the original Li Xiang's request, the clarity has also been greatly improved, and the magnification has also increased slightly, but it is a pity that it is still a monocular and simple concave and convex lens, and the composite lens has not yet been developed.

Li Xiang was very satisfied. Immediately, he asked Zhang Fangluo to quickly send it to the soldiers, and then asked everyone to quickly familiarize themselves with the use of these things. To be honest, Zhang Fangluo also knows a lot, not to mention that he has used many things, but he has never seen them.

Li Xiang was not in a hurry to explain to him, but just told him what the names of these things were, and then asked him to take the soldiers to train according to the original training of special forces.

Three days have passed in a flash, and in these three days, both instructors like Zhang Fangluo and ordinary soldiers have entered normal training. At the end of the third day of training, Li Xiang announced that there would be no emergency assembly that night, and the morning exercise on the second day would also be canceled, and the first assessment of the training camp would be conducted. The 210 team members in the training camp will be grouped according to the assessment results, and the 20 people with the worst results will be arranged together to be used as logistics staff for all the team members, knowing that they will be regrouped according to the results after the next assessment.

This kind of punishment is even more uncomfortable than additional training and confinement, which soldier is willing to give people a person, or to his familiar brothers, this is more uncomfortable than killing them, so everyone secretly gritted their teeth, must not be pulled to the end.

There was no word all night, and in the anxious waiting of the soldiers, the morning whistle was belated, and in order to give the soldiers a sufficient rest and maintain good physical strength, Li Xiang specially instructed him to blow the whistle half an hour late.

Some of the soldiers did not rest well all night with a heart and woke up early in the morning, but most of them took full advantage of this rare night of relaxation and rest, and slept soundly, and when they woke up in the morning, they were full of energy.

The amount of breakfast served was also more than usual, especially the meat buns, which the soldiers ate and supported, and there was more in the cage drawer.

In any case, the tension still pervades the soldiers, but there is also the exciting news that as a reward, the top three in the overall score or those who are particularly good in a single category can challenge any of the commanders and instructors to any skill, and after the assessment, they will be regarded as squad leaders.

The assessment order is carried out according to the temporary squads. Li Xiang specially instructed to record the number of the best team members in a single event.
