Chapter 156: A Few Topics
Wolf Domain, General Headquarters.
Yue Weihua handed over Fei Qing and Cao Xiang to the staff officers of the Second Station Town Branch of the General Staff, and after further detailed exchanges, Yue Weihua himself rushed back to the Wolf Domain overnight and convened a meeting of the main regiment-level officers who stayed behind, mainly including Yue Xiang, chief of the General Staff, Yue Hai, director of the General Logistics Department, Yang Fengxiang, chief of the general adviser, Chen Gan, head of the 101st Regiment, Kang Quan, chief of staff, Su Sancang, head of the artillery regiment, Yue Qingjie, chief of staff, Yue Qingren, commander of the recruit battalion, Chen Jinjiang, deputy captain of the special operations brigade, Liu Liren, director of the Intelligence Department, and Shen Yin, deputy director of the intelligence department.
At the meeting, Yue Xiang first briefed and summed up the fighting situation in various directions.
The Tsarist Russian Eastern Route Army, a large fleet of more than 100 ships, has been completely annihilated, declaring the end of the victory of the Eastern Route against Russia.
According to the latest intelligence, the assembly of the follow-up army on the northern road of Tsarist Russia has come to a standstill, and it is expected that the so-called northern army will not appear again for the time being.
The cavalry battalion of the southern Russian army, its forward unit, was completely annihilated by the cavalry regiment last night, and after a day and night of marching, it is expected that the cavalry regiment of the Black Dragon Army will meet the infantry brigade of this road tomorrow.
The Tsarist army on the west road, part of its forward cavalry battalion, has been completely annihilated two days ago, the main force of Tsarist Russia on this road has been nesting in Fufu County, has not moved half a step, 201 has launched many attacks, and the Boxer friendly army from Qihar is expected to arrive in Fufu County tomorrow morning and join the 201st Regiment.
"The so-called encirclement and suppression of Tsarist Russia on all sides now seems to have existed in name only, and it is only a matter of time before the victory of the third war of resistance against Russia is achieved. There may still be a month or two left, so Tsarist Russia will certainly not be so willing to fail, if my guess is correct, at this time the Tsarist War Department should be urgently formulating a plan for the fourth encirclement and suppression. ”
"So, I hope. Everyone maintains a low-key and vigilant mentality, don't be proud, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, everyone must remember. ”
"I will gather everyone here today, in addition to summarizing the battle situation of all sides, there are still many topics that need to be discussed and approved by everyone."
"The first is the establishment of the Moling Army Division,......
The establishment of the Moling Military Division was proposed by Yue Xiaodong. It had already been discussed at the General Staff Headquarters and the General Counsel's Office, and it was unanimously approved, but it was temporarily shelved because the war was approaching at that time, and Yue Weihua had also personally visited Moling Town two days ago, so he naturally agreed.
The first division commander of the Moling Military Subdivision was served by Yue Hu, deputy commander of the 101st Regiment, and the chief of staff was Li Yunfei, the former commander of the first battalion of the 101st Regiment. Let's not talk about Yuehu, everyone is familiar with it. Li Yunfei is also one of the 176 veterans of the Black Dragon Army, and for the appointment of the military commander of the military division, loyalty and reliability must be ranked first.
As for the team of the Moling Army Division, under Yue Weihua's special care, he directly asked Yue Hu to transfer a reorganized battalion from the 101st Regiment, and then 500 recruits from the recruit battalion. As two infantry battalions, two companies were transferred directly from the artillery regiment, plus 200 recruits, to form a new field artillery battalion with 15 field guns.
Besides. The Langya Special Combat Team will also send an independent squad of 30 people to the Moling Military Subdivision and become the Moling Detachment of the Langya Special Operations Brigade, and secondly, the Intelligence Department will also be stationed in the subdivision, and there is no shortage of engineering companies, health companies, and cavalry companies (the cavalry regiment left behind in Moling Town is directly integrated).
"Since everyone has no opinion, then the matter of the Moling Army Division is so decided."
After Yue Weihua finished announcing, he directly ignored everyone's envy and jealousy, thinking that when Yue Weiyun went to form the Xigang Army Division, it was that each battalion had transferred some troops, but now when he arrived at Yuehu, it became the transfer of the entire battalion, and he was directly equipped with a field artillery battalion.
Yue Weihua's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he directly changed the topic, turned to Yang Fengxiang, and said apologetically: "General Consultant, I hope you can understand Fei Qing's refuge." ”
Fei Qing's refuge, Yang Fengxiang also just heard about it before entering the conference room, at the beginning, he didn't agree with it, after all, Fei Qingsui also has some ability, but he is a master who can't afford to be unprofitable, Yang Fengxiang is really worried that he will go to Qin Duchu.
However, after hearing that Fei Qing was willing to send his family members as hostages, he didn't say more, after all, Yue Weihua's choice was also considered from the overall needs of Heilongjiang, and acting as this kind of high-level spy, perhaps, only people like Fei Qing can do a good job, and if it is him Yang Fengxiang, he really can't do it.
"The commander-in-chief is too worried, even if I have some disagreements with Fei Qing, it is impossible to abolish the public for personal reasons." Yang Fengxiang smiled.
"Well, although Fei Qing's refuge is no longer expected, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain."
"Yang understands that the commander-in-chief doesn't need to have any scruples."
"Well, then, let's discuss the issue of how to reorganize the Qing army of Fei Qing's department, because it is necessary to keep it as secret as possible, so I am afraid that many things need to be done in secret, and some of these pests must be resolutely eliminated,......
In the end, after Yue Weihua's proposal, everyone's supplement and improvement, the reorganization plan for the nearly 4,000 Qing troops of Fei Qing's department was also freshly released.
The Qing army of Fei Qing's department, of which three battalions of men and horses were stationed in Heihe Tuncheng, and five battalions of men and horses were stationed in Aihui City, so they had to be separated for training, among which the Qing army headquarters of Aihui City was given the number of the 103rd regiment, and the three battalions of the men and horses of Heihe Tuncheng were given the number of the 104th regiment.
The commander of the 103rd Regiment finally chose the current chief of staff of the 101st Regiment Kang Quan after everyone's recommendation, and the chief of staff is tentatively appointed Fei Qing, of course, Fei Qing is obviously still the deputy commander of Aihui, but in private, he can only be the chief of staff of the 103rd Regiment, as for the main officers of the 103rd Regiment, for the time being, they will not consider directly drawing and supplementing from Heilongjiang, but are ready to carry out special training for the 103rd Regiment in the mode of the instructor team, and the main officers will wait for the end of the special training, depending on the situation.
As for the 104th Regiment, the situation is similar to that of the 103rd Regiment, but the situation of the 104th Regiment is easier to deal with than the 103rd Regiment, after all, Heihetun is more remote, and it is the place where the Black Dragon Army fought, so it is naturally much easier to train. The final candidate for the commander of the 104th Regiment was Song Yaoming, the deputy head of the 102nd Regiment, and the chief of staff was Cao Xiang, and the whole training plan was naturally the same as that of the 103rd Regiment.
Although overnight, the Black Dragon Army had two more regiments, but Yue Weihua was very interested in these two regiments. But there is a lack of confidence, because the main backbone of these two regiments, there are about two or three hundred people, these are all veterans who have participated in the battle of Heihetun, and there are more than 1,000 deserters who followed Chen Yiqing, the standard commander of Heihetun City, and the remaining 2,000 or so people are recruits recruited in the past month.
For such a team that has always been complicated, let's be honest. If he could choose, Yue Weihua would be willing to recruit new recruits and train from scratch, which might be better than training this team, but now he has no choice, he can only face the scalp, it depends on the ability of Kang Quan and Song Yaoming.
After discussing the reorganization of the Qing army. Yue Weihua also raised a number of topics to discuss with everyone.
First of all, the question of the expansion of the artillery is the same as the battle of the Heishui River. Killing more than 100 ships of Tsarist Russia and annihilating more than 10,000 Tsarist Russia once again proved the importance of artillery, for this, no one should doubt it, so. Artillery will definitely have to expand and develop.
Before the artillery battle of the Heishui River, after Yue Weihua's exchange, the Black Dragon Army Artillery Regiment had four 250 mm caliber shore defense guns, 24 150 mm howitzer heavy guns, and 72 105 mm field guns. During the battle, although a few cannons were also damaged, more were captured, and there are currently 31 150-mm howitzer heavy guns and nearly 100 105-mm field guns (some of which have not yet been removed from river ships or gunboats, but the number is counted).
It was precisely because there were so many artillery pieces that Yue Weihua proposed to divide the artillery regiment into three, and after reorganization, it would be divided into heavy artillery regiments, field artillery regiments 1 and 2 regiments.
Heavy Artillery Regiment, Regiment Commander Su Sancannon, Chief of Staff Li Lingde (one of the former deputy commanders of the artillery regiment), under the jurisdiction of four coastal defense guns, 31 150 mm howitzer heavy artillery, divided into four battalions, one battalion for the shore defense artillery battalion, the other three battalions for howitzer heavy artillery battalion, full of 1,600 people, the shortage of about 1,000 people, of which 500 from the recruit battalion supplement, the rest are temporarily missing.
The 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the regiment commander Yue Qingjie (former chief of staff of the artillery regiment), and the chief of staff Zhao Quan (one of the deputy commanders of the former artillery regiment), under the jurisdiction of 45 105 mm field guns, divided into three battalions, full of 1,500 people, 1,000 people are missing, 500 are supplemented from the new battalion, and another 500 are temporarily absent, temporarily vacant.
The 2nd Field Artillery Regiment, the regiment commander Li Lingde (one of the former deputy commanders of the artillery regiment), and the chief of staff Fu Ersong (one of the Qing artillery team members who joined Yang Fengxiang with him), under the jurisdiction of 45 105-mm field guns, divided into three battalions, with a full strength of 1,500 people, a shortage of 1,000 people, 500 from the recruit battalion, and another 500 are temporarily vacant, and they will be supplemented after a new round of recruit training.
In this expansion, there are more than 2,000 people in the recruit battalion, and the 101st regiment must give priority to supplementing 500, plus the three artillery regiments to supplement 500 each, and it will basically be divided, and there is a shortage of more than 1,500, which makes Yue Qingren, the commander of the recruit battalion, very uncomfortable.
Secondly, for the 102nd regiment to reorganize the problem, the 102nd regiment is currently fighting outside the town of Aledrovsk has ended, before the fourth invasion of Tsarist Russia, there will be no war here for the time being, and through this battle the Black Dragon Army has captured more than a dozen river ships that are still intact, as well as some river ships and gunboats that can be repaired, plus the previously captured river ships and gunboats, cargo ships, and a large number of armed fishing boats owned by the Luoshui Boat Gang, so that the Black Dragon Army can form a quite large fleet of sailors.
The 102nd Regiment is mainly composed of the original second and third battalions, of which the second battalion is all the elite of the former Luoshui Boat Gang, and these people are naturally the best candidates to form the first naval division of the Black Dragon Army.
Therefore, after discussion, the number of the 102nd Regiment was temporarily retained, but the officers and men of the 102nd Regiment were divided into three parts, one part was the members of the First Fleet of the Black Dragon Army, and this part was the main body, and the main ship-related tasks in the future, such as acting as the captain and crew, and the sailor.
The second part is for the members of the Marine Corps, which is actually mainly for the future Marine Corps in strategic reserves, and at present it is mainly to practice some landing operations and so on.
The third part is for the soldiers in the 102nd Regiment who are unable to adapt to water warfare, and this part of the people will also exist as the seeds of the 102nd Regiment and as officers for the rebuilding of the 102nd Regiment in the future.
Of course, at present, the 102nd Regiment is still outside the small town of Aledrovsk, and it is only a preliminary plan, and the specific reorganization work still needs to be formulated by the General Staff and the battalion and regimental officers of the 102nd Regiment after they return.
Thirdly, for the expansion of the engineer battalion into an engineer regiment, Yue Weihua rescued more than 1,000 migrant workers from Qihar, in addition to some who chose to join the army and stayed in Xigang, there are more than 1,000 people, after the completion of the fortification transformation of Xigang, they came to the wolf domain, most of these migrant workers are unwilling to fight, but they need a place to stay, so Yue Weihua is ready to include them all into the engineer battalion system, anyway, in the engineer battalion system, there are engineering companies that do not need to participate in the war, transport convoys and so on.
Because the engineer battalion had already been expanded to more than 800 people, of course, there were only about 300 fighters in two companies, but after absorbing more than 1,000 migrant workers, the total number would reach 2,000 people, and it would obviously be inappropriate to call it a battalion, so Yue Weihua gave them a regimental establishment to encourage the outstanding contributions made by the engineers.
The engineer battalion was upgraded to the engineer regiment, Yue Hai proposed not to serve part-time, but recommended the original deputy battalion commander of the engineer battalion, Tian Dashan, as soon as he finished talking about Tian Dashan, Yue Weihua remembered that the big man who was nearly two meters tall, definitely the tallest in the Black Dragon Army, Tian Dashan was born in Yue's dart bureau, and he was also one of the earliest veterans, since he did a good job in the engineer battalion, Yue Weihua naturally expressed his support.
Speaking of the completion of the barracks, Yue Weihua also raised the issue of building a martyr's cemetery, although every time the Black Dragon Army fights, the battle damage is not large, but the war must be dead, after preliminary statistics, the Black Dragon Army officially in the formation of soldiers sacrificed hundreds of people, so the issue of building a martyr's cemetery is imminent.
Of course, being able to put forward it at this kind of meeting also represents Yue Weihua's attention, and as for the specific implementation, it must fall on the head of the logistics department.
In addition, Yue Weihua also raised the issue of disability allowance and pension for sacrificed soldiers, and asked the General Staff Department and the Logistics Department to raise the standard as much as possible.
