Chapter 120: Officer Training Team
Tan Feng snatched back a lot of grain from North Korea, which will inevitably make North Korea mourn, but this has nothing to do with Tan Feng. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because Tan Feng knows a truth, dead friends do not die poor, this North Korea is full of mourning, what does it have to do with him. As long as he can get food to maintain his army and population needs, the future will be discussed later. If you can't defeat the Manchus, then it's all in vain.
Of course, if the Manchus can be defeated, North Korea will be eager to surrender quickly, who would dare to talk nonsense about this matter?
Tan Feng returned to the northeast and asked the staff officers to send the grain to the military camps and concentration camps in various places, and he went to find the teaching corps. The teaching corps is responsible for training senior non-commissioned officers and company and platoon-level officers, and this is also a place that Tan Feng attaches great importance to. Because Tan Feng expanded his army too quickly, the officers would inevitably be unable to keep up. The quality of the teaching team determines the quality of the officers. Tan Feng is different from other ancient Chinese who attached importance to senior generals, and he attached importance to those officers and non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level.
"How's the teaching corps?" Tan Feng asked.
"Commander, we have organized intensive training for officers. We currently have no need for senior non-commissioned officers, only those officers who are ready for promotion, who have to train for fourteen hours a day and rest for less than six hours. According to your orders, commander, even if these officers eat, they must eat while training. ”
Tan Feng saw these advance officers who looked tired and sweaty, but they seemed to have obviously adapted to this kind of life and were still constantly training, and this one immediately nodded. In fact, grass-roots officers are no weaker than those of their senior officers, and grass-roots officers are the most basic nerve endings that guarantee the army's strategic plan and the most important foundation that truly determines whether or not operations and China can be effectively implemented.
So Tan Feng knew that there were no famous generals in his army, and Tan Feng's troops, including Tan Feng himself, were actually not famous generals at all. But why he can defeat those who have many years of combat experience, in fact, the most important thing is execution. has the execution power that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is far from matching, and when Fu Erdan began to implement his battle plan, he snatched his plan, so that Fu Erdan was in vain.
Even if you make a good battle plan and can't implement it, it's actually in vain. It is not a coincidence that Tan Feng was able to attack before Fu Erdan's battle plan was executed every time, but that Tan Feng's soldiers were far superior to the Manchus in terms of the quality of grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers.
Tan Feng stipulated that before anyone who wanted to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer officer, he had to go to the teaching team for pre-training training. Even after being promoted in the line of fire on the battlefield, after the battle is over, it is necessary to carry out a rotation training supplementary procedure before the appointment can be truly determined. This is already an ironclad rule, and this is the most important means for Tan Feng to avoid the reduction of the quality of grassroots non-commissioned officers. This is also the experience accumulated over many years of war, and it is very useful. As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even any dynasty in the past, there was no such regulation, and the promotion was directly promoted, which could easily cause the officers' abilities to be out of touch, and various qualities could not keep up.
And the army is such a combination of bit by bit, if the quality of every officer is a little bit unable to keep up, in the end it will be reflected in the combat effectiveness of the army is a huge weakening.
"Salute!" When Tan Feng walked nearby, the officers who were training saluted Tan Feng together amid the captain's shouts.
Tan Feng also wanted to return the salute, and then said, "Keep training!" ”
Those advance officers soon began to train, and Tan Feng was covered in sweat as he watched them train here. In fact, Tan Feng has not experienced the training of officers, but he also trained these non-commissioned officers according to the training methods of non-commissioned officers back then, and supplemented some culturally possible training methods.
"What is the cultural curriculum of these officers?" Tan Feng asked.
The officer of the training team replied: "Commander, according to your requirements, our officers have to learn cultural knowledge every day. At least half of their time is spent learning cultural knowledge, but the results are somewhat poor. Our cultural lessons, which are limited to literacy, are not too complicated. ”
Tan Feng didn't blame them, because this time the pre-promotion officer was indeed very urgent. Many of these advance officers were Han Chinese slaves in the Mongolian tribes back then, and they actually didn't learn Chinese characters, many of them only knew Chinese, but didn't know Chinese characters, and their lives had been Mongolized. Add to that the fact that they have missed the age of the best learning, which is also normal. Of course, the more important reason is that there is not enough time, because there is not enough time, so we have to use cramming to teach, and this learning absorption rate is very problematic.
All this was due to a lack of time, because the Manchu army would definitely go to the northeast within half a year. He didn't have much time to train officers and soldiers, so he could only teach in a hurry, which was the best. Tan Feng's army weapons were actually not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty strictly speaking, and he could only start from the quality of officers and soldiers to ensure that his army's combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The army's combat effectiveness weapons are only one factor, or even just a factor behind them, and what Tan Feng has to do is to improve the quality of these grassroots officers and soldiers to the greatest extent.
Tan Feng then came to the occasion of the training of officers of various arms, and the Tan Feng officer training team conducted intensive training according to different branches of the army, not according to unified standards. Because of different types of troops, there must be training methods for different arms. In addition to the general method, the next step is to redistribute the troops according to the class they come from. Then they can go to better training to make their business skills more professional.
Anyone with a little common sense will know that the more detailed the division of labor in the whole society, the better their ability to function. The military is also a society with a different division of labor. The more detailed the division of labor, this is also an important link.
"Transport troops, engineering troops, and many technical arms, the training they need is completely different. You're starting from scratch, and you're working hard! Tan Feng praised.
The officers and soldiers of those training teams were very happy, and Tan Feng praised them, which represented the recognition of their merits. However, Tan Feng's words made the captain of the training team from the Wang family very emotional.
"Commander, I now finally know why you have to emphasize the professionalism of the army, and insist on treating these engineers and transport troops as an independent branch of the army. In the past, my brother Wang Jingqi once followed Nian Qianyao to the battlefield, and my brother also said that the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first, which is Nian Qianyao's way of commanding operations, and it has also been a routine since ancient times. ”
"But this is really the grain and grass first, because the speed of transporting grain and grass is slow, and many times the army rushes all the way, but the grain and grass can't keep up, and finally the logistics needs cannot be met. At that time, either the army slows down the speed of the attack, or the army in front is short of food and grass and is exploited. ”
"But since the commander, you treat this transport as a professional soldier, instead of asking for the use of civilian soldiers, which is really powerful. Our transporters not only used freight tricycles to transport, but also at a much faster speed. And the quality of the soldiers is much better than that of those people, and all orders are forbidden, and they are never like the people who prevaricate, delay, and lazy. This is really a lot more powerful, and our grain and grass transportation is now almost as fast as the army's attack. Because the army is attacking, it is impossible not to encounter obstacles, so the overall transportation of grain and grass has completely kept up with the army at the front and will not be disjointed. ”
"From now on, the three armies will not move the grain and grass first, and this sentence will not exist."
Tan Feng said instead: "No, no, no, no, this sentence will still exist, but the meaning has changed." From the simple transportation of grain and grass in the past, it has become a discourse that attaches importance to logistics. Although the meaning has changed, it has been upgraded to no longer a simple transportation. ”
This is also the most important embodiment of the specialization of the armed forces and the most important embodiment of the division of labor in the army. In the past, the imperial court relied on recruiting people to transport logistics materials, so the people's combat effectiveness was not only worrying, but also the people also had many problems. The people who were temporarily recruited were very poor in their ability to obey the orders of the army. And the execution of the people is very poor, fast transportation. Even in the past, although the imperial court kept saying that it attached great importance to grain and grass, it actually did not pay attention to the process of transportation, at most it was for soldiers to protect. However, our current approach, the transport corps as a separate branch of the army, is strategically valued, and this is the real attention. ”
"Upgrading the transport corps to a professional branch of the army, as a branch of the army with almost the same status as the infantry, firearms and cavalry, is the real emphasis on logistics. Because after they become a branch of the military, they can really be valued, and they can really be qualified to get more resource support, and they can get greater support. Otherwise, in the past, it was a general's temporary attention, but after the general left, it immediately fell apart. In the future, we will give not only the transports the same status as the infantry, but also the sailors as all the armies. ”
The specialization of the arms has always been emphasized by Tan Feng, but even if it is a thousand words, it is better to give them a separate class status. With equal status, this is the most important core. Otherwise, if they are not given a separate military status, they will always be civilian husbands, and they will be discriminated against by the regular army in terms of identity, and their mentality will naturally not be very good. The mentality is not good, so their loyalty is also very suspicious. Respect and loyalty, in fact, are relative, the army does not respect the people, do not treat them as soldiers, how can they do their best for you.
Under the influence of various comprehensive factors, the logistics and transportation efficiency of the ancient army was very low, and it could not be compared with the combat speed of the regular army. However, this can easily become a method for the enemy's sneak attack, and a weak loophole for the enemy's sneak attack logistics to defeat the enemy.
Tan Feng saw those advance officers who were training hard, and took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else you have to support?" If there's anything you'd like to get support for, tell me about it. ”
The captain of the training team from the Wang family replied: "Commander, I have a need, I hope you can meet it." ”
"What is needed?" Tan Feng asked.
The captain of the Wang family's training team replied: "Commander, according to our previous situation, all those with good cultural quality have been transferred to serve as staff officers. However, I believe that serving as staff officers is certainly a reuse of talents, but if these staff officers serve as staff officers at all levels of staff for a long time, it is easy to cause a disconnect in their understanding of the army below. ”
"When the time comes, they don't understand the grassroots level of the army, and it is easy to cause loopholes in formulating combat plans in this way. Although I can't guarantee that our army is the best, according to what you have always said, Commander, there is no such thing as the best battle plan in this world, only the most suitable battle plan, and the most suitable is the best. But I wondered, if the staff officers were not familiar with the troops, how could we come up with the most appropriate battle plan? ”
"Moreover, if the low-level officers have been at the grass-roots level for a long time and do not understand how various orders are formulated, then they will also have opinions about the upper ranks and will not be able to understand them. In addition, he has served at the grass-roots level for a long time and has not been able to serve in the military command department, which is not conducive to the cultivation of officers' command ability and thinking about the overall situation. Otherwise, what those officers see is their own one-third of an acre, but once they are suddenly promoted, it is easy for them to be unfamiliar with the responsibilities of the future level, and they are more likely to be uncomfortable. It will take a long time to adapt to it, and this is the use of the big picture. ”
"If you can often serve in the senior military command department, the idea of taking the overall situation into account will be greatly exercised. Even in the past Manchu court, they all knew that after the new science and technology jinshi served in the center, a group of people had to be released to familiarize them with local government affairs. This is true for civilian officials, and I think it should be true for our military! This truth was understood by the imperial courts in the past, but this kind of thing rarely happened in our army. I'm afraid it's going to ......."
Tan Feng nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, it seems that this is also a big problem." Why didn't you report it in the past, you have this idea, why didn't you report it? ”
Captain Wang of the training team said: "Commander, I reported it in the past, but it seems that there is no real reply from the top, so I don't know how to get attention." This time, the commander, you came over, and it seems that you don't know very well, so I have the courage to take the initiative to say it. ”
"It seems that someone was not honest before!" There was anger in Tan Feng's eyes, this was obviously someone who had already provoked his bottom line, because there were already signs of Shantou 1ism in this army.
It may not be obvious, but it must not be allowed to go unchecked.
