Chapter 117: The Seven Legions

Wang Jundao reformulated the army as follows:

A group of 5 people, one team leader and one deputy team leader.

Three groups of 15 people are a class, with one squad leader and one deputy squad leader.

Three squads of 45, plus a special service group responsible for reconnaissance, sabotage, communications and other military operations, a total of 50 people in a platoon, one platoon commander and one deputy platoon commander.

Three platoons have 150 people in a company, with one company commander and one deputy company commander, and an instructor who is responsible for teaching the soldiers to study culture and supervising the soldiers' life style and ideological issues.

Three companies of 450 people, plus a special service platoon, a total of 500 people for a battalion, a battalion commander, a deputy battalion commander, and a battalion counselor, the same tasks as the company instructor.

The three battalions have a total of 1,500 people as a regiment, with one regiment commander, one deputy regiment commander, one regimental chief of staff, one regimental instructor, and one mission guidance battalion and company instructor, and the tasks are the same as those of company instructors and battalion counselors.

Three regiments of 4,500 people, plus a special service battalion, a total of 5,000 people for a brigade, a brigade commander, a deputy brigade commander, and a brigade chief of staff.

The three brigades have 15,000 men as a full-fledged division, with one division commander, one deputy division commander, and one division chief of staff.

There are 45,000 people in three divisions, plus a special service brigade, a total of 50,000 people are an army, with one army commander, one deputy army commander, and one army chief of staff.

If the establishment is strengthened, it will become a four-four, five-five, or even six-six system......

Moreover, this is only a troop establishment, not a regular combat establishment, and the regular army combat establishment also includes artillery, cavalry, baggage troops, engineering troops, logistics troops, and other arms, and there will be air force units in the future.

In Wang Jundao's military system, the primary army combat unit is a company, which is composed of an integrated infantry company, a cavalry squad, a special service squad, an artillery squad (four light mortars, three grenadiers), and other troops, with a team size of about 200 people.

The intermediate combat unit is the regiment, which is composed of 1,500 people in an integrated infantry regiment, plus a cavalry company, an artillery company, and a special service company, and the team size will be about 2,000.

The high-level combat unit is a division, a regular combat division, including a full infantry division of 15,000 people, plus a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, a special service regiment and other troops, and the team size will also be about 20,000.

The top-level combat unit is a group army, a regular group army, which should be composed of at least two corps and two divisions or more, and also include artillery units, cavalry units, special forces, baggage units, engineering troops, logistics units, and other units, with the number of troops ranging from 150,000 to 200,000.

A special combat unit is a field army, which is composed of at least two or more regular group armies with a combat strength of more than 300,000 troops.

Of course, Wang Jundao will not consider the establishment of the group army and the field army at all, because his team does not have so many at all, and he will not even have the establishment of the army.

Therefore, he changed to another organization, and temporarily organized the team into seven corps, namely the First Corps, the Second Corps, the Third Corps, the Fourth Corps, the Fifth Corps, the Sixth Corps, and the Seventh Corps, each of which consisted of three divisions.

There were twenty-one divisions, namely the first, second, and third divisions, and ...... until the twentieth and twenty-first divisions.

The First Army Corps has more than 50,000 people, including Yang Poyu, commander of the First Army Corps, Zhang Decheng, deputy commander of the First Army Corps, and Chu Feng, chief of staff, and the First Army Corps under the jurisdiction of the first, second, and third divisions, as well as a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a special service regiment.

Xu Jian, commander of the Second Army Corps, Cao Futian, deputy commander of the Second Army Corps, Li Jing, chief of staff, and the Fourth Division, Fifth Division, and Sixth Division, as well as a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a special service regiment, totaling more than 50,000 people.

Nie Yuanzheng, commander of the Third Army Corps, Sun Chuanfang, deputy commander of the Third Army Corps, Xiao Changcheng, chief of staff, and the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Divisions of the Third Army Corps, as well as a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a special service regiment, totaling more than 50,000 people.

Pang Wei, commander of the Fourth Army Corps, Li Jinglin, deputy commander of the Fourth Army Corps, Chen Shan, chief of staff, and the 10th, 11th, and 12th divisions under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army Corps, as well as an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, and a special service regiment, totaling more than 50,000 people.

Xiang Zilong, commander of the Fifth Army Corps, Kang Dingbei, deputy commander of the Fifth Army Corps, Li Chun, chief of staff, and the 13th, 14th, and 15th divisions of the Fifth Army Corps, as well as a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a special service regiment, totaling more than 50,000 people.

The Sixth Army Corps is a mountain and jungle corps, the corps commander Tang Jian, the deputy corps commander and the chief of staff are all served by Xu Zhengrong, and the six corps has three divisions under its jurisdiction, all of which are composed of two brigades, only each division has only 10,000 people, namely the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth divisions. The Sixth Army also had two Reading Brigades and two Reading Regiments directly under the Corps Command, each with 6,000 men and each Reading Regiment with 2,000 men. There is also a mountain artillery regiment, a mountain engineer regiment, a mountain special service regiment, and a mountain communications regiment, all of which are staffed by 1,000 people, and the Sixth Army has a total of more than 50,000 people.

The Seventh Army Corps is a cavalry corps, with corps commander Yue Fengxian, deputy corps commander Murong Ke, and chief of staff Wang Huaiqing, under the jurisdiction of three cavalry divisions, namely the 19th Division, the 20th Division, and the 21st Division, each cavalry division has two brigades under its jurisdiction, with a total of 10,000 cavalry; The Seventh Army also had two cavalry reading brigades, three cavalry reading regiments, each reading brigade with six thousand cavalry, and each reading regiment with two thousand cavalry. There is also a cavalry artillery regiment and a cavalry special service regiment, each regiment is a thousand people, and the seventh regiment has a total of more than 50,000 cavalry.

In addition to the seven combat corps, Wang Jundao also formed a baggage corps, an engineering corps, and a logistics corps.

There are 30,000 people in the baggage regiment, with tens of thousands of various vehicles, as well as pack horses, military trucks and other means of transportation, which are mainly responsible for the transportation of various baggage.

The engineering corps has 30,000 men and is mainly responsible for the construction of military projects.

The logistics corps has 30,000 people, mainly responsible for all logistics affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

There are also artillery brigades and special operations brigades directly under the headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and Leng Feng, the commander of the special operations brigade, and the whole brigade has 5,000 special forces of various kinds.

Wang Jundao also selected the most elite 4,000 warriors from the Dragon and Tiger Army and joined his Dragon and Tiger Guard, making the Dragon and Tiger Guard from 1,000 to 5,000.

In addition to the 125,000 men of the five divisions of the former Tiger Guard Army stationed in various places, the total strength of the Dragon and Tiger Army has reached a full 500,000, and such a huge number of troops can only be supported by the three provinces of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, which are densely populated, rich in resources, developed in agriculture, and have an industrial base.

The three provinces can not only afford to support more than 500,000 troops, but also support the implementation of Wang Jundao's new policy and economic construction.

Wang Jundao knew very well that with the agricultural, industrial, commercial, and resource conditions of the three provinces of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, not to mention more than 500,000 troops, even 5 million troops could be pulled.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao sat on Jizhou and Bingzhou, that is, the land of Hebei and Shanxi, and the population of the two states at that time was only six or seven million, but he was able to raise seven or eight hundred thousand troops, while Wang Jundao now sits on Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, but he has only officially formed more than 500,000 troops.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the population, the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Henan add up to nearly 90 million, which is twice that of the three provinces, Britain, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, and other countries, and is not much different from the United States, Russia, and other countries.

But in this case, all the resources and money will be used to feed the army, and economic construction, industrial construction, agricultural construction, and commercial development will not be able to get up.

However, if only 500,000 or 600,000 troops are raised, relatively speaking, one or two hundred capable laborers can be liberated, and these people, whether they are engaged in agriculture, industry, or commerce, are enough to feed themselves and an additional 500,000 or 600,000 troops; this will not only not affect the industrial, economic, and agricultural construction of the three provinces, but in a certain sense, it will also promote economic development, because the labor force can be fully utilized, and there will be no surplus.

Of course, Wang Jundao's army is not only the regular five or six hundred thousand, but also has gradually spread to the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Henan Wutuan system, now the number of Wutuan in various places combined, has exceeded 300,000, because of the prevalence of Wutuan, the style of martial arts spread throughout the three provinces for a time, and most of the people who have learned martial arts and understand martial arts have become instructors of Wutuan.

Some of the members of the martial arts group are women, most of them are between the ages of sixteen and twenty, and the proportion of women in the martial arts group accounts for one-tenth of the martial arts group, which is equivalent to 300,000 martial arts regiments, and about 30,000 people are women, which is also specially approved by Wang Jundao.

Wang Jundao wants to pursue the whole people to be martial, so not only men must be martial, but women must also be martial, because if you want the people to be strong, not only men must be strong, but also women must be strong, so that the offspring can be stronger from generation to generation.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, Chinese women's body and wisdom have gradually gone downhill, and even most women have reached the point of stepping on a three-inch golden lotus and being weak. I'm afraid that most of them will die.

With the military regiment providing soldiers, Wang Jundao believes that in a few months, these 300,000 armed regiments will be able to form an army as long as they are slightly transformed, and then after a few months of modern military training, they will all be able to become regular troops.

Of course, Wang Jundao wants to take the line of streamlining the administration of elite troops, rather than the route of a large number of troops, but bloated institutions and low combat effectiveness.

Wang Jundao didn't want to do the kind of thing that desperately developed a huge number of troops for the sake of momentum, but he couldn't even match the guns, couldn't afford the salary, couldn't eat enough, and couldn't wear warm clothes, so what was the use of such an army?

After the formation of the legion, it was the training of the army and the cultivation of the military ability of the officers, Wang Jundao said that as before, he would personally train the soldiers every morning and mingle with the soldiers, which made the soldiers both awe him and close to him.

In the afternoon, they will give lectures in person, and the subjects of the lectures are officers at and above the battalion level, and of course they all come in turn; for example, today the division commander, brigade commander, and regiment commander will attend the lecture, tomorrow the deputy division commander, deputy brigade commander, and deputy regiment commander will attend the lecture, and the day after tomorrow the chief of staff at all levels will attend the lecture.

As a result of this, the military capabilities of officers at all levels increased, and the military notes that were studied and recorded every day were digested for two days. But Wang Jundao is miserable, almost every afternoon has to talk for four or five hours in a row, the same content has to be repeated three times, his energy is strong enough, and there is no need to doubt his physical strength, but his throat can't stand it, even if there is a newly invented megaphone, it is in vain, every evening comes, Wang Jundao's throat is the most uncomfortable, dry, dumb and painful.

Fortunately, his resilience is amazing, and he can recover the next morning, fortunately, he has military rules, and the army trains for a week and rests one day, otherwise for a long time, he suspects that he will one day really become mute because of overusing his voice.

This kind of talk lasted for a whole month before it stopped a little, because all modern military training has been put on the right track, some of these soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles, some are masters of martial arts, and some are strong men who only joined the army a few months ago, but after three months of recruit training and more than a month of modern military training, one by one has already transformed into a qualified regular soldier, and the only thing lacking may be to go to the battlefield.

In a flash, the first new-type submarine designed by Wang Jundao had been successfully tested on the Haihe River in Tianjin, and the first new-type airship could still fly more than 200 kilometers round trip, and the keel of the first battleship had already been installed, and it was expected to be completed in another three months.

The Beiyang Fleet, which was cowering in the Tianjin Military Port, has also been completely refitted, and its appearance has been completely renewed, and the power of the ship's guns and shells has nearly doubled that of the original.

The 'Piercing Heaven' generation of weapons produced in various arsenals has also equipped three-quarters of the Dragon and Tiger Army's army, and the ammunition can basically supply the entire Dragon and Tiger Army to fight two or three major battles. (To be continued.) )
