Chapter 140: Soldiers send to the capital

"Sixth, what do you think we're going to do? Shouldn't you be fighting with foreign devils again? A soldier gently tugged at the cuffs of his comrades and asked in a low voice.

The sixth child's full name is Feng Shun, the sixth in the family, and in the class in which he is ranked, he is also ranked the sixth, so the title of the sixth has become Feng Shun's code name in the army.

And Feng Shun always likes to run around the entire barracks on weekdays, and he is quite familiar with the soldiers of any class, so as time goes by, the sixth child knows more and more news. It's like becoming the intelligence leader of their class.

And the abnormal reaction of the sixth child also attracted the attention of officers at all levels at the beginning, and reported the situation, but in the end, the reply from above was, not moving, implying monitoring, and not moving him.

In fact, Lao Liu is an intelligence scout of the military reconnaissance company, and the reason why he has such a large range of activities is only to secretly discern whether there are enemy personnel in the army.

However, in order to prevent the identity of the intelligence officers from leaking, the above did not tell their identities to the people below, but after a long time, those grassroots officers still found some problems.

Because in every battalion, there are always one or two people like Lao Liu, and the reply given above is exactly the same, and they don't move.

But every once in a while, someone in their unit will be arrested, and finally confirmed to be a spy of the Qing army.

"It shouldn't be at the moment, I heard that all the foreign devils are in Tianjin, and they plan to retreat in the near future." The sixth shook his head and said in denial.

But the sixth really doesn't know what their mission is this time? But what is certain is that their target is definitely not foreigners.

However, the army was dispatched for no small matter.

The people in this barracks don't know, but it doesn't mean that the sixth intelligence officer doesn't know, outside, their boss Wang Sirui is already a dead man.

Moreover, I heard that there are many brothers in ambush in the capital, so I don't know if they are going to the capital this time.

However, these speculations Lao Liu can't tell his comrades-in-arms, because they know these things, but it may not be a good thing.

"It doesn't matter what he does, we are strong now, and we are not afraid of fighting Lao Tzu with anyone." Another soldier patted his chest and abdomen.

After several months of training, through a lot of military training, shooting training, and tactical training, this also gave him a deep understanding of his own strength and a trace of self-confidence in his heart.

'Smack......'

As soon as he finished speaking, a large hand slapped the back of the soldier's head, but not with much force.

Several soldiers turned around and saw that it was the company commander who beat them, and the whole person instantly looked like a frosted eggplant, and instantly withered, not daring to have any resistance.

"Lao Tzu finally warns you again, you are not allowed to speak, you are not allowed to make any movement, whoever dares to violate discipline again, Lao Tzu will take care of his little black house for ten days and half a month." The company commander warned the team next to him in a suppressed voice.

Along the way, the brothers of the other companies were able to observe discipline very well, but they always spoke every once in a while, which made him, the company commander, feel gloomy, and even looked up a little in front of the other company commanders.

"Company Commander Sang, order the troops to rest in place and remain vigilant, and you will immediately go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting now." As soon as Sang Tongshu wanted to continue to get angry, the regiment correspondent ran to Sang Tongshu lightly and announced in a low voice.

"Regiment headquarters?" Sang Tongshu was stunned, and then asked, "Xiaohong, where is the regiment headquarters?" ”

"A mile ahead, in a tent on the side of the road, Staff Officer Li is waiting there." Said the regimental communications soldier known as Xiao Hong.

Sang Tongshu answered, and immediately ordered the troops to rest in place, and arranged two squads of troops to be on guard, and after making these arrangements, Sang Tongshu walked to the regimental headquarters in front.

After walking to the regiment headquarters, Sang Tongshu found that the officers above the company commander level in the regiment had basically arrived, and the atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing, and everyone's faces showed a trace of nervousness.

They have already seen this kind of occasion.

Although most of the troops had never actually fought a war, there were still two exercises in the troops, and each time the troops were halfway through the march, and the regimental headquarters notified them to come to the regimental headquarters for a meeting.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the regimental headquarters holds this meeting, it basically means that the battle is about to start. And this time it was obviously not a drill, because each soldier was given the maximum amount of ammunition and dry rations, so it was normal for some nervous expressions to appear on the faces of these officers.

After waiting for a while, the three company commanders behind their company in Sangtongshu also rushed to the regiment headquarters, and the officers above the company level of the entire regiment had already arrived.

The head of the regiment, Xu Zhiyou, stood in front of a map, and the eyes of everyone below also followed Xu Zhiyou to the small map.

"Okay, time is limited, I won't talk about the extra words, some of you were added later, and you may not know much about some of the situations outside, in short, we helped the court win the battle, but the court is jealous of our combat effectiveness and wants to put us to death, it's that simple.

I believe that you are all bloody men, and others have been bullied to the head, what should we do? I don't think I need to say much about this.

Let's talk about the specific operational arrangements, this time our army's combat mission is to occupy the capital, and completely control the entire capital, and then blockade the capital, without receiving the order, the capital is only allowed to enter and not to leave.

And the task of our 5th and 6th regiments is to control the Forbidden City, that is, the imperial palace, and monitor every move of the royal family. With the Taihe Hall as the central axis, the west is our control range, and the east is the control area of the six regiments.

To the north of the Qianqing Palace, the 1st Battalion is responsible for occupying the area, and to the north of the Internal Affairs Office to the Qianqing Palace, the 2nd Battalion is responsible, and to the south, the 3rd Battalion is responsible. The 4th Battalion sent three companies of troops to carry out mobile patrols in these three areas, leaving one company of troops as a reserve and stationed in Taihedian with the regimental headquarters. "Xu Zhiyou gave a strong battle order, and he couldn't be asked by the people below at all.

A regiment of 3,072 ordinary combat troops, plus the 200-man guard company directly under the regimental headquarters and commanders at all levels, a regiment has about 3,400 men, and so many troops only control half of the palace, which is more than enough in terms of troops.

Although Xu Zhiyou is crazy and is called a madman by other colleagues, Xu Zhiyou's heart is more delicate than anyone else.

At least, he had already seen Wang Sirui's intentions, so he did not question it in the meeting of the brigade headquarters, and arranged the tasks of the fifth regiment in an orderly manner, never wasting a single soldier, and never letting go of any place.

Of course, in fact, there are not only two regiments of troops, but in addition to these two regiments, there is also a battalion of troops that has infiltrated the palace in advance, and the strength of that battalion will become their guide at that time, and after the capture of the palace, become a member of the patrol.

Not long after Wang Sirui arrived at the military camp outside the city, the entire army was reorganized.

An army of 18,000 men is very inappropriate to call it a brigade.

There were eight regiments in the barracks outside the city, totaling more than 28,000 people, and four regiments in the capital, totaling more than 13,000 people.

In other words, Wang Sirui has a total of 12 regiments and about 42,000 people, which is the total number of troops and headquarters at all levels.

It is clear that the title of brigade can no longer satisfy the troops of such a large number of people.

Therefore, Wang Sirui ordered the reorganization of the troops, first, to increase the positions of some high-ranking officers, and also to promote some meritorious officers and soldiers below, which was regarded as an encouragement to them.

As a result, the three regiments were divided into one brigade, and the total number of a brigade was 10,000 men, plus the guard battalion directly under the brigade headquarters. This gave us four brigades of more than two thousand people.

The two brigades are a division, with a total of 20,500 men, and the size of the division headquarters is somewhat bleak, because the number of troops is just right, and there is no extra force to allocate to the division headquarters, so only two companies of guard companies can be added to each division headquarters.

The two divisions are one army, and in addition to some necessary personnel, the size of the military headquarters is even smaller, only a few dozen people, but the military headquarters has two battalions of guard strength, and no one below has any opinion on this, and even feels that the two battalions seem to be a little less.

This army, called the Han Army by Wang Sirui, had two divisions of the first and second divisions, and the two division commanders were Wuyang and Wang Shuqi.

It is divided into 1234 brigades, and then down there are 1234 and 12 regiments, of which the 1st and 3rd, 4th and 9th regiments are located in the capital.

And these four regiments belong to four brigades, which has been planned for a long time.

With more than 40,000 troops, it can be said that this time, Wang Sirui has been cautious enough that it is impossible for any problems to arise.

As for the current nearly 20,000 troops in the capital, this is really nothing to worry about for Wang Sirui, because there are more than 12,000 people in it.

"Finally, I want to say again, after entering the palace, it is not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, everyone in the palace, eunuchs and palace maids are gathered together, and the rest of the people are gathered together, as long as they are cooperative, the attitude can be slightly better, but for those who have ideas, except for the queen mother and the emperor, they will be killed." Xu Zhiyou finally reminded.

"Commander, what if the two of them don't cooperate?" Sang Tongshu asked, these two people can't be killed, and they don't dare to kill, but if these two people don't cooperate, what should they do?

"I've lived in the deep palace for a long time, I'm afraid that this muscle and bone should be loosened, as long as it doesn't die." Xu Zhiyou said with a disdainful face. (To be continued.) )
