"Childe, we have few people, and if we smoke it again, all the veterans will be gone, how do you let me train?"

"Childe, it's true that the T-sentry is at most, but we have suffered the heaviest casualties this time, and many brothers are still lying in the hospital...... I don't have a problem with you sucking people, but why don't you wait for these brothers to return to the team? ”

"The whistle was originally full of recruits, and this battle became a veteran? …… Childe, you can do it, I don't have an opinion on how many people I draw, anyway, they are all training recruits! ”

……

In the extremely spacious flower hall of the Liu family's mansion, as soon as the reorganization meeting began, the sentry commanders of the three posts complained about the transfer of veterans - everyone wanted to leave more seeds for their troops!

This is not entirely to blame for the three of them, there are more than 370 people in the three outposts in this battle, but there are not many killed, only 7 people, but as many as 55 people can be injured, and the rest are all veterans, only a little more than 300; If it was really according to Chu Fan's intentions, it would indeed drain the three whistles at once!

But the cavalry battalion can't do without veterans - those descendants of the Song people are already free and loose, and if they put a bunch of new recruits in it, the whole cavalry battalion doesn't know what it will look like!

This is compounded by the fact that the night squad is not collected, which should now be called a reconnaissance company, and veterans must be drawn from various outposts, at least thirty or forty people.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no one is a fairy, and she can't become a veteran; So although everyone thought of various ways all morning, they couldn't get around this problem.

As a new military advisor, of course, Song Xiance also participated in this meeting, but he barely spoke all morning, listening intently to other people's speeches, twisting his beard and muttering from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the low road was recognized by Chu Fan. rushed into the barracks, and each outpost and squad went one by one, talking to the lowest soldiers; Even at night, he didn't stop, holding the rules and regulations of the Fuliao Army and pondering word by word, often looking at it all night.

In this way, although it is only for a few days. However, Song Xiance quickly figured out the basic situation of the Fuliao army.

After the meeting, at lunchtime, Xiao Dao sat down next to Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen with his wooden lunch box, and said his views on the reorganization straight to the point.

In his opinion, there are actually not many veterans -- 300 veterans, for more than 1,100 recruits, it is equivalent to one person bringing three, and in terms of basic training, it is completely sufficient.

The reason why I feel that the veterans are not enough. That's because everyone has drilled the horns of the bull - why is it that a veteran must be better on horseback than a new soldier? Except for the more than 100 descendants of the Song people, haven't everyone ever ridden a horse? It's hard to say that the talent of the recruits is stronger than that of the veterans!

As for the poor discipline of the descendants of the Song people, this is the same as the eggs of the recruits, isn't it just strengthened through basic training?

So the solution he proposed was to temporarily disperse the three outposts and mix the veterans and recruits, including the descendants of the Song people, into four teams for two months of basic training; During this period, a team is drawn every half a month for riding training. The purpose is not to say that a working cavalry can be trained immediately, but just to familiarize everyone with horse nature. At the same time, according to the talent of each person in horsemanship, it is finally determined who should be transferred to the cavalry battalion, whether it is a recruit or a veteran; Two months later, it was re-established, and three outposts and cavalry battalions were again trained for specific purposes.

His suggestion made Chu and Liu suddenly enlightened and admired, Chu Fan's only worry was that the North Koreans would give them a few months of training in An Ansheng?

"But don't worry, my lord." After Song Xiance carefully picked up the last bite of food in the wooden lunch box into his mouth, he straightened his beard before he replied with a smile, "According to my opinion, the Jeju pastoral envoy must have been terrified by the destruction of the Liu family...... Although there are three battalions of 1,500 people on Jeju Island. However, all the hedgehogs gathered in Jeju and Dajing to prevent our army from attacking, and they were not afraid to ...... The pastoral envoy made a policy, and asked for help as the most important, but these major conquests were the most voluminous, with the exchange of documents, the court contention, the recruitment of soldiers, and the preparation of money and food...... Everything takes a lot of time, so where can you say you can come if you want to? …… If it is not a lie, there will be no danger of North Korean reinforcements setting foot in Jeju within half a year! ”

When Chu Fan first heard these words, he felt incomprehensible, but when he recalled the delay in the expeditions of the armies of various dynasties and generations in history, he was relieved again -- I am afraid that the organizational ability of the DPRK is only weaker than that of the Central Plains dynasties!

Half a year may be a little longer, but within three or four months, there should be no problem for me not to worry about North Korean reinforcements -- by that time, the Fuliao army has thousands of elite troops and hundreds of elite cavalry, and it may still be a little weak to take the initiative to attack, but it will certainly be more than enough to hold the east side of Jeju Island.

Therefore, after Chu Fan, Liu Zhongwen and Song Xiance discussed some details, and finally formulated a four-month training plan on the basis of Song Xiance's suggestion - the first two months of mixed rotation training, and the second two months of targeted training.

The meeting continued in the afternoon, and Chu Fan solemnly introduced that this training plan was proposed by Song Junshi - he would not plunder the beauty of others, and Song Xiance had just joined, and it was the time when he needed to enhance his prestige, of course, Chu Fan wanted to highlight his merits.

The captains of the four brigades in the mixed rotation training were respectively the commanders of the three outposts and Liu Zhongwen, who temporarily served as the commander of the cavalry battalion.

After the mixed rotation training, the numbers and structures of each unit will be greatly adjusted: the first battalion of the first post in Dengzhou, and the three posts of Ding, Geng, and Gui will be upgraded to the second to fourth battalions respectively; Each battalion has three companies, and each company has three platoons.

The infantry platoon was rated at 51 people, and in addition to the platoon commander, division number, drummer, flag bearer and two cooks, it was also divided into three infantry squads, each with 15 people, which matched the three-stage strike, making the infantry platoon the smallest independent combat unit.

In addition to the three platoons, each infantry company also had a new baggage squad of 15 people, and was equipped with 15 mule and horse-drawn carts to carry barbed wire, wooden stakes, ammunition and other baggage with the company.

The newly established cavalry battalions also have a three-three system, with only 12 to 14 men in each cavalry squad and 400 men in the whole battalion.

Outside the infantry is the reconnaissance brigade upgraded from the night non-collection squad, rated at 50 people, and there are three squads under the brigade.

There is also a new unit that stands out, and that is the artillery battery.

In view of the performance of the eight-bull crossbow and the Franc machine field artillery in this operation, Chu Fan put forward a revised request to the weapon group: first, the eight-bull crossbow should be newly built as a four-wheeled carriage as a platform to achieve rotation and pitching; At the same time, the crossbow machine should be changed to three gears in order to attack different distances; The improvement of the Franc field gun is mainly the design of the gun mount, in addition to the ability to pitch, but also to facilitate the carriage of horses.

The artillery company is tentatively equipped with three eight-bull crossbows to form a ballista platoon; Four 6-pounder Furlong field guns, forming an artillery platoon.

The weapons are not enough, the key is the training of the gunners, and now Chu Fan has sent all the gunners in this battle to Zhang Ziyu, so that they can make up the trigonometric functions and get out the range angle table and the ruler on the gun as soon as possible.

In addition, some new departments have been added, such as the field hospital headed by Dr. Xu Feng and Dr. Xu from Dengzhou, and the propaganda team headed by Zhang Xiaoyi.

The two-day reorganization meeting was held because, in addition to drawing up the training program, discussing the selection of company and platoon commanders, and determining the principles for selecting cavalry, the military salary system, the corresponding rank system, and the system of rewards and punishments in training and combat were also adjusted.

When the meeting was about to end the next day, Ling Ming, who had already returned to Jingyi County, came again, and brought a group of people, so that Chu Fan, who was already exhausted, had to cheer up and continue to formulate the relevant system of another army. (To be continued.) )
