Chapter 140: Garrison Platoon
Yang Xingguo did not know that these landlords and gentry had betrayed their ancestors and the country for their own interests. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, Yang Xingguo is brewing, how to completely pocket the hearts of the people in Liaozhong, let the people of Liaozhong completely believe in themselves, and follow those mayors desperately to open up wasteland and divide the land......
"Commander, the influence of those landlords and gentry is too great......"
"Let's just say Liaozhong Town, after reading our notice, although there are many people who are ready to move and want to follow our people to open up the wasteland, but no one rushed to ......."
"For a few days, although these landlords and gentry were quiet, their influence on these villages and towns could already be said to be deep-rooted. There are decades or more than a hundred years......"
Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "In a word, the common people would rather believe those landlords and gentry than believe in my Liaodong Army ......."
"That's for sure......" Zhou Zhongju replied without thinking.
"The landlords and gentry were all around them...... offended, revenge will come to you in the blink of an eye. ”
"Although the strength of my Liaodong Army is strong, it is too far away from them after all...... There are even many people who don't know about our Liaodong Army ...... at all."
Hearing this, Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed, and he said very decisively: "We must find a way to change all this......"
"Change...... How do I make a change...... Even if you can change it, you won't see the effect in a short time. Zhou Zhongju obviously didn't hold out any hope for this decision, and asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief......
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "It's not that there is no way to ......"
"Aren't the common people unable to see the strength of our Liaodong Army, then we will let them see it...... Aren't they afraid that the Liaodong Army will not be able to help them at a critical moment? Then we will station the Liaodong Army next to them? ”
As soon as Yang Xingguo's decision was revealed, Zhou Zhongju reminded with a worried face.
"The commander thinks twice...... We have a few combat battalions, and we have to guard against the invasion of Lao Maozi at any time...... If the troops are stationed in various villages and towns, it is likely that they will be broken by Lao Maozi......"
"Please commander, we must think twice, we can slowly win the hearts of the people, but the army must not lose ......"
"When Deng Zhonghua proposed the idea of garrisoning the army at that time, I was also moved...... However, after thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that for the safety of the Liaodong Army, at least for a short period of time, we will not be able to divide troops and garrison troops in various villages and towns......"
At this time, a mysterious smile suddenly flashed on Yang Xingguo's face.
Then, he said to Zhou Zhongju: "Don't worry, I will never move the four combat battalions......"
After finishing speaking, Yang Xingguo's words suddenly changed, and he asked Zhou Zhongju, "Second uncle...... How many rifles do I still have in the warehouses of the Liaodong Army...... How many recruits are there in the command ......"
Zhou Zhongju's eyes lit up, and he replied with a sudden understanding......
"I see...... Commander, you're going to expand your army......"
"Gun, don't worry...... Although we sold 2,500 rifles to General Shengjing's mansion last time, the three battalions took the initiative to attack the line from Anshan to Liaozhong Guandao, and brought back more than 1,000 rifles for us......"
"So, there are still more than 2,200 rifles piled up in the warehouse of the headquarters......"
"There are fewer recruits...... In addition to the 300 people who maintain the normal operation of the recruit baggage battalion, there are still 800 people who can be drawn out......"
"Eight hundred recruits, plus a certain number of officers, and a rack of fifty platoons, are enough......," Yang Xingguo affirmed with a satisfied face.
What Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that his words once again caused a burst of exclamations from Zhou Zhongju......
"Fifty platoons...... Commander, you're going to ......"
"In large villages with a population of more than 1,000 people, each village has one row...... Five towns, one in each town centre...... If the requirements are not met, a platoon will be stationed in the nearest villages......"
"These units are collectively known as the Recruit Garrison...... While training troops, they also maintain local security and order...... Of course, these recruit garrisons also have a task, that is, to provide qualified troops for the Liaodong Army......"
"In addition, in order to distinguish between the garrison units of new recruits and the field troops, the salaries of the field troops at all levels of food will be increased by 50 percent on the existing basis......
"The reason why I have improved so much at one time is not because I am impulsive, but because I have to do it......
"I learned from Liang Cheng that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the new army, the imperial court also increased the salary of the new army again...... If we don't raise the salaries, I call Donglu to no longer have an advantage over the new army of the imperial court in terms of salaries......"
"The garrison of new recruits will be formed according to the establishment of one platoon and three squads for the time being......"
"Because of the limited number of troops, each squad is temporarily arranged with three backbone recruits and a squad leader...... The platoon arranges a platoon leader...... As for the other recruits, as soon as the conditions are ripe, they will directly recruit ...... from tens of thousands of people in Liaozhong."
"Of the five garrison companies in the five towns, except for one full platoon, the other two platoons are all arranged according to the backbone platoon...... However, in order to increase the strength of the garrison company against the enemy, each garrison company added a heavy machine gun squad and a heavy machine gun......"
At this time, the shocked expression on Zhou Zhongju's face not only did not soothe at all, but became more and more intense......
As soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, he followed closely and said: "According to this statement, the entire Liaodong is fifty platoons...... However, in a short period of time, where did we find fifty platoon commanders and five company commanders, and more than a hundred squad leaders......"
"Yes, of course, and there are many ......," Yang Xingguo replied confidently.
"In the field hospital we just established, there are still many veterans who are unable to return to combat units because they are disabled...... These people, who have combat experience and know how to train recruits, let them become platoon leaders of the garrison squad, it is better......"
"As for the company commander, don't you still have a few platoon commanders in your hands who can't answer the combat troops...... A combat unit can bring a platoon, and a garrison can bring a company...... Let them go, not only can they have a place to go, but also let them use their surplus heat, so that they will not waste the rest of their lives......"
There was no doubt that Zhou Zhongju's eyes shot out two rays of light again.
"Good way...... Commander, not only can you do it according to this method now, but you can also do it according to this method for the disabled officers and soldiers you encounter in the future...... I am sure that after this news reaches the combat units, the soldiers will be more courageous in battle. Because, in the Liaodong Army, they no longer have to worry about the tragic end of having nowhere to go after being disabled and can only live on the streets......"
At this time, Yang Xingguo's face was once again covered with seriousness.
Facing Zhou Zhongju, he ordered very decisively: "That's it...... Tomorrow, we will issue a notice throughout Liaozhong......"
