Chapter 623: Standard Establishment

readx;

Since it was a formal formation and the establishment of the first regiment of the Qin soldiers, Zhu Youzhen tried his best to follow the most regular way of the modern army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info first set up a regiment department, the head of the regiment is Xie Sheng, and the deputy head is Chen Wuwa. Because he thought that the name Chen Wuwa was too earthy, Zhu Youzhen renamed him "Chen Wu", which was the same name as a general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Of course, Chen Wu was grateful, and vowed to fully cooperate with Xie Sheng and bring the first regiment out as soon as possible.

The regiment headquarters consists of a staff office, a political office, an equipment office, and a logistics office. The General Staff Office is responsible for assisting the military commander in the preparation and execution of operational plans during operations; The Political Department is responsible for the education, publicity, and personnel rewards and punishments of soldiers; The Equipment Service is responsible for the distribution and maintenance of weapons and ammunition; The Logistics Service is responsible for the Regiment's food and medical care. In addition, the regimental headquarters also directly subordinate a guard company, which is responsible for the security work of the regimental organs.

There are eight battalions below the regiment. The first and second battalions are infantry battalions; The third and fourth battalions are cavalry battalions; five battalions are artillery battalions; six battalions are engineer battalions; Seven battalions are reconnaissance battalions; The eighth battalion is a car barracks.

Of these, the two infantry battalions had the largest strength, each with 600 men. The military commander is the battalion commander, and there are three combat companies, a communications platoon, a guard platoon, an artillery platoon, and a sniper squad. The equipment of a regular individual soldier consists of a bird's gun, spear, and shield.

Of course, although the arsenal was already very skilled in the production of bird guns, after all, the output was limited, and most of the bird guns produced before were delivered to Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Xie Yong, Hao Yongzhong and other units who had combat missions, and less than 300 were distributed to Xie Sheng. In this way, on average, there are more than 100 bird guns in one battalion, and they can only wait for the arsenal to increase its production capacity and slowly replenish it. As for spears and shields, they can be purchased directly, and the quantity is quite sufficient.

The combat mode of the infantry battalion is mainly based on bird guns, supplemented by spears and shields, forming a positional battle with multiple columns of rotating fire. In previous battles, this mode of battle has been fully proven, not only against enemy infantry and archers, but also against cavalry. With such two battalions deployed on the front of the battlefield, Zhu Youzhen was confident that he could deal with the onslaught of thousands of enemy troops.

The platoons and squads directly under the battalion headquarters have their own functions. The Communications Platoon is responsible for liaison with superiors and peers; The guard platoon is responsible for the protection of the battalion headquarters; The artillery platoon, under the direct command of the battalion commander, assists the combat company in frontal combat; The sniper squad is equipped with a newly developed flintlock gun to snipe at important enemy targets from a distance.

The two cavalry battalions were smaller in strength, each with 300 men. They did not have bird guns in their equipment, because of the characteristics of fighting on horseback, which determined that there was no time to reload ammunition and aim at all. Correspondingly, their equipment corresponded to the characteristics of cavalry operations. Below the battalion commander, there are two light cavalry companies and one heavy cavalry company. The standard armament of the light cavalry was one-handed sabers, short bows and leather armor, which were suitable for long-distance operations; The heavy cavalry was armed with two-handed swords, spears, and heavy armor, and was only designed for short-range charges.

Of course, there are only 100 war horses under Xie Sheng's command, and these two battalions can only be said to have begun to take shape, and they are still early to form combat effectiveness, and at this stage they are still mainly training. However, compared to the cavalry battalion, the artillery battalion was even more miserable. Although the number of people is the same as 300, there is not a single working cannon!

But time waits for no one, and what Zhu Youzhen has to do is to set up the shelves of the troops first and start training as soon as possible. As for the equipment, it has to be added slowly. The artillery battalion consists of two light artillery companies and one heavy artillery company, the light artillery company is mainly rapid-fire guns, flowering guns and small Furlong machine guns, and is the main force in the field; The heavy artillery company was equipped with large Franc machine guns and Hongyi cannons, which were important units in attacking fortified and defending cities. However, the Qinwangzhuang Arsenal does not yet have the capacity to produce large cannons, and this company can only be equipped with rapid-fire guns for the time being, and will be gradually reequipped after they are produced or captured.

The strength of the engineer battalion was also large, amounting to four hundred. They do not directly undertake combat missions, but carry out auxiliary work, such as digging trenches, building bridges, transporting ammunition to the main forces, and so on. Although they are auxiliary, they are indispensable, and when they really fight, they are the hardest and most tired, so it is necessary to choose those soldiers who are the most hard-working and hard-working.

The setting up of a reconnaissance battalion is a bit extravagant, because in the modern army, only the formation above the division level will have a reconnaissance battalion directly under it. However, Zhu Youzhen is now focusing on the future, because in the future, the scale of the army will definitely be expanded, and the current recruits will become veterans, and they will all be the backbone of other units in the future, and they can directly become officers, so the 200 people in the reconnaissance battalion have a certain sense of cultivating talents. They are a strange force in battle, mainly responsible for reconnaissance, penetrating behind enemy lines and carrying out special combat missions, and the quality of individual soldiers is also the highest of all battalions.

Finally, there is the car barracks, with more than 200 troops. This is a unit that attaches equal importance to combat and support, and it was also set up by Zhu Youzhen inspired by the Qi family's military vehicle formation. When there was no fighting, the chariot men were responsible for transporting the baggage; In the event of a battle, they can form a chariot formation, which can be used wonderfully against the onslaught of cavalry.

In Zhu Youzhen's conception, in the future, the vehicle troops should be developed into a heavily armored unit similar to the tank unit in the previous life, which can directly charge into battle and is not afraid of the threat of ordinary infantry and cavalry. Of course, the technology has not yet reached that level, if there is really such a force, the Qin soldiers can simply run rampant in Eurasia.

After the establishment of the formation is completed, it is time to appoint officers at all levels. This is a troublesome matter, because there are not many leaders available under Xie Sheng, and there are only more than twenty people who have come to the meeting today, and at most they can only be appointed to the company level. As for the platoon commander and squad leader below, Zhu Youzhen let Xie Sheng and other officers appoint it themselves.

Although there are many positions and few leaders, these positions have high and low ranks, and everyone suddenly quarreled for the position of battalion commander, and everyone felt that they were not ambiguous, except for the regiment commander Xie Sheng and the deputy regiment commander Chen Wu, they should no longer be commanded by others.

Zhu Youzhen is very satisfied with this situation, because he thinks that a soldier should have a temperament that does not give in and gives up others. Isn't there a saying that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If you don't even dare to fight for your position, then when you face a murderous enemy, don't you have to be scared to numb your claws?

Of course, there must be an open and fair selection system for job competition, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. Zhu Youzhen immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, if it's wartime, we can rely on our military exploits to promote our positions." Now that the first regiment has not yet had any war, then there will be an open competition for recruitment, and there will be a comprehensive quality competition. Not only you, but one of the soldiers in the whole regiment is counted as one, and whoever has the ability will be the battalion commander! ”
