Luo Dan didn't know what a zombie was, but he subconsciously thought that since the teacher used the order of the ancient Chinese dynasties to name the weapon, then the teacher was naturally understandable to name it like this, although the name of the Shang-style rifle was not loud enough, and although there were many dynasties in China, there was always a time when they ran out, how to name the name after the dynasty name was used up?

Deng Shifeng's answer to this question is very simple: future research and invention will gradually adopt the form of the inventor's own naming to formulate, and weapons and equipment will still adopt the unified sequence name of the army in order to ensure that the differences in regional culture and accent are avoided, and the army's weapons will not be changed too frequently, so as long as there is no obvious change in the main structure and use characteristics, it will be named after the number of bars or A, B, C, D.

Just like the Xia Modified Rifle, although the ammunition of the Summer Modified Rifle and the ammunition used by the Summer Rifle have changed, the body of the gun and the loading method have not changed, so it still belongs to the sequence of the Summer Rifle. Even if the Xia rifle is introduced in the future with a reduced power version that uses pistol cartridges, it will only continue to be the Xia B or Xia C rifle.

After figuring out the issue of gun naming, the two masters and apprentices didn't have much to do today anyway, and Deng Shifeng hadn't been addicted to guns for a long time, so he asked the soldiers to get some main equipment and ammunition for him to vent his fire. The two of them chatted while playing with guns.

The focus of the chatter between the two is still focused on the construction and expansion of the army, after all, the master and apprentice are not outsiders, Luo Dan knows his teacher's plans and ambitions, and he likes this process of conquering the world, so he really doesn't have to worry about anything. It's just that what restricts the dream of the two now, in addition to the problem that industrial development has not kept up, is also the expansion of military scale.

At present, the army has a scale of more than 2,000 people in an overorganized regiment, and the number is really small, and it is also responsible for the task of defending against the enemy in the four major directions of Danyang, Gutian, Zhongdu, and Liucheng in the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the mountainous area.

However, don't forget that there are also militia and militia members and new types of people, in addition to the regular garrison, there are also a number of militia and civil guards in the key defense tasks, and the special people also take on the task of professional logistics team. It seems that it is very troublesome to manage the different levels and types of work in this way, but it is quite necessary to be troublesome.

This is because Deng Shifeng deliberately set the identity belonging threshold, and there is a difference in the treatment that formal villagers and informal villagers can get in mountain villages, unless you are really the kind of immortal who has no desire for anything, in the gradually formed competitive environment of mountain villages, there are always goals and needs that you want to catch up with, and to meet this, entering a mountain village to become a formal household is naturally the most basic condition.

If a person wants to join the official villagers of a mountain village, he must not only live in the mountain village or the territory under his rule for a period of time, but also make his own contribution to the development of the mountain village. However, as mentioned earlier, competition and pursuit make people have a more urgent mentality and motivation to accelerate this process, so those who have been working hard for a year and those who have just started to work hard must naturally be treated differently, so although these four are all military personnel, there are four decidedly different differences in income. Of course, another reason for this to stimulate these people to work hard is to greatly reduce the cost of military salaries......

Back to the number of troops, although there are not many soldiers officially registered in the army, or the regular army, if you really want to expand, then Deng Shifeng will quickly get a large number of soldiers who are not much different from the regular registration, which of course benefits from the military training of the militia below, and more importantly, the bet between Deng Shifeng and Luo Dan......

On the surface, these 500 non-commissioned officers are a personal joke between Deng Shifeng and Luo Dan, but if you really look closely, you will find that Deng Shifeng has already begun to prepare for the expansion of the army. Guns, artillery, ammunition, etc. can be gradually accelerated with the development of industry, but what cannot be accelerated is the training and cultivation of personnel, and it takes more time to train those basic non-commissioned officers and officers who are the leaders and tails of the soldiers! And these people are the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the army!!

For the current training syllabus of the mountain village, a soldier who has not been trained at the bottom can basically go to the battlefield after three months of basic training such as queues, instructions, and physical fitness, and then after about three months of extended training such as shooting, bomb throwing, and self-rescue. Moreover, those militia and guards, and even the people, have to undergo the most basic training in peacetime, so it does not take long to convert the militia and militia into regular soldiers; That is, a technical class such as artillery will take slightly more time than infantry.

The combat effectiveness of an army cannot be judged solely by the quality of weapons and equipment, but mainly by the quality of discipline. Of course, this sentence has an element of exaggeration, but it also illustrates the role of discipline in this special team in a sense, the duty of a soldier is obedience, and the order allows you to brave the rain of bullets Can you say no? The order is to stand guard every day, can you not go? When the former attacks, the attack will fail because there is no one to carry out the order, while the latter will be easily infiltrated by the enemy to play new tricks......

In addition to strict punishment, the most effective way to maintain discipline in an army is through these low-level officers. These low-level officers are not only the best transmitters of the orders of the upper echelons, but also an effective guarantee for maintaining the combat effectiveness and standard of the grassroots soldiers.

Many military fans in later generations understand that on average, only one veteran will die for every four recruits who die in battle, and veterans not only have more combat experience, but also have much better psychological quality and combat skills than recruits. Especially those non-commissioned officers, these non-commissioned officers not only need to have enough rich combat experience and qualifications, but also have a certain degree of cultivation and interpersonal processing ability in order to do a good job in this small official position, so it not only takes time to train them, but also needs the courage shown in the battle, the ability to be flexible and adaptable, and the good reputation and the support of the soldiers under them to do a good job as this small officer!

From this, it can be seen that a qualified non-commissioned officer is not so easy to obtain, too brave but does not know how to protect himself, has hung up, is too flexible and can not complete the task and always wants to steal and live, without a good reputation and the recognition and support of the soldiers...... You, the little non-commissioned officer, are not very competent either......

The emergence of more than 500 qualified noncommissioned officers also means that the training base of high-ranking officers is also increasing, and this provides more choices and a high level of competition for the selection of regular officers, especially for officers at the company and platoon levels, which is even more difficult, because with the current combat opponents and actual combat scale in mountain villages, the number of small-scale operations at the company and platoon level is far greater than the number of operations on the battalion and regiment scale. Therefore, in addition to the cultural needs, company and platoon level officers also need to know how to read and command all kinds of battles, from small-scale attacks on forts to field encounters and even ambush battles, all kinds of changeable battles are testing their actual top combat commander in these conflict operations, how to command properly? …… This question is enough to stump a lot of people who are trying to challenge.

As for the higher-level battalions and even the divisional commanders and staff officers who are groping...... That is already a high-level training plan that Deng Shifeng wants to grasp personally......

"Teacher, according to the current training rate of non-commissioned officers and officers, and with a period of preparation for a year and a half, the number of our non-commissioned officers and officers will usher in a ...... During a blowout period, the number of people is estimated to be expanded to about three infantry regiments...... What's next? ”

Luo Dan scratched his head, and found a very appropriate word for a blowout from the words he had learned to describe the coming moment of a great expansion of talents, he not only looked forward to the feeling of talent blowout expansion, but also looked forward to the heroic spirit of brandishing the war knife to expand and fight outward again after the expansion.

"Hehe, do you think I'll be satisfied with only three infantry regiments?"

Deng Shifeng rubbed his shoulders that were a little sore after shooting continuously, and smiled, his cross-examination made Luo Dan's eyes light up, and he knew that the teacher was not satisfied with the expansion of the three regiments, and the number of people he wanted was larger!

"Hurry up and train your troops, in addition to the soldiers, you also have to strengthen the training of the militia, the civil guard and even the people, by the second half of the year, we should have some military operations to meet some military, economic and even strategic intentions. This is also for you to train soldiers in actual combat, and those militia and civil guards and people are strong At that time, many people can change jobs, I can appropriately give you authority to relax some standards, and promote outstanding personnel from the bottom to make exceptions, and you can also promote some non-commissioned officers to ensure that the number of grassroots officers is sufficient. ”

"Understood! But teacher, what should I do if Uncle Qin makes trouble for me like this? Isn't it a direct loss of production to turn those militia and civilian guards into regular soldiers? ”

Although Luo Dan was very happy with the information about the expansion of the troops, he immediately thought that after transferring these militia and guards, he would have to bear the anger of Second Uncle Qin...... It's better to ask some things clearly.

"If you are out of work, you will be out of work! I will give you time for this, some militia and civil guards play a great role in the job, their future in production is greater than the development prospect in the army, and too much military training also reduces their time for further study, for these people, it is time for them to make their own choice, those who should enter the army enter the army, those who should leave the army leave the army, a person cannot always step on the development of two boats. ”

Deng Shifeng's very decisive answer made Luo Dan have a certain number in his heart, rather than developing at both ends and getting nothing, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible while they are young and concentrate on developing in one direction. However, there is still a question in Luo Dan's heart to figure out:

"Teacher, you have always been very cautious about the expansion of the army in the past, how could you suddenly start to expand the army on such a large scale?"

Hearing Luo Dan ask such a technical question, Deng Shifeng grinned and said:

"Base, look at your subordinates for yourself, in the past, when you were a dozen or twenty soldiers, you were already elated to be able to train one or two non-commissioned officers, and now you can pass the examination of forty or fifty non-commissioned officers a month, and this number is increasing month by month...... The foundation laid by basic education and the development of the first two years has given us a large base, and it is time to reap a good harvest from these bases......" (To be continued. )
