The second battalion of the right wing of the Wuwei Right Army was deployed outside Baoding City, and it didn't take long for Zhao Dongyun to ride a horse to arrive at the school field, the scale of this school field was very large, in addition to the second battalion, some artillery teams, cavalry and other troops were also stationed, but these artillery and cavalry and some engineering troops were not under the control of Zhao Dongyun, and each person had its own chief officer.

As soon as Zhao Dongyun arrived, the officers of the second battalion greeted him together, and they naturally introduced themselves later, and after a while, all the talents sat in the battalion headquarters of the second battalion.

Below sat the officers of the second battalion, Tong Guò's introduction just now and the personnel file resume that Zhao Dongyun had read before he came, although he had not really seen through these people here, but he still knew the superficial things.

Sitting at the top of his left is Chen Kuilong, the assistant of the second battalion, who looks like a meter 85 at a cursory glance, not only tall, but also looks full of muscles, which is a fierce general with one enemy and ten in ancient times.

This person graduated from the Tianjin Military Academy, served in the Huai Army, and was later transferred to the new army for training. However, he is a little older, he is nearly forty years old, and he has not been promoted for several years after he arrived in the new army, and he was originally a popular candidate for the new battalion officer of the second battalion, but there would be an idea that the top did not promote him, but directly transferred Zhao Dongyun.

So since the moment Zhao Dongyun came in, he has been silent and hasn't said much, revealing dissatisfaction in his expression.

Sitting below Chen Kuilong are two young people, the one above has a Chinese character face, medium stature, both appearance and figure are very ordinary, belonging to the kind of person who can't be found in the pile of people, named Lin Pingxiong, graduated from the Wuwei Right Army Camp School, and is now serving as the leader of the front team.

The face below is a little delicate, and it is difficult for him to imagine that he is a soldier with a white face, this person's name is Gu Lanyu, like Lin Pingxiong, he also graduated from the Wuwei Right Army Camp Academy, and now serves as the leader of the rear team

Sitting on Zhao Dongyun's right hand is Bi Xiaoqiang, the leader of the left team, whose name will be heard as 'Xiaoqiang' if he is not careful, this person's appearance is also ordinary, but his skin is slightly dark, and there is an obvious scar on his palm, this person graduated from Tianjin Wubei Academy.

Then there is Gu Qizhi, the leader of the right team, who is slightly short, and his height is estimated to be more than one meter and six points, but his neck is very thick, and the clothes on his arms and legs are held up tightly.

Zhao Dongyun is already familiar with the superficial information of these people, but what is the temperament of these people? What about the ability? What kind of background do they have? What potential conflicts of interest are with yourself, etc., it will take time to slowly understand.

This meeting is called a meeting, but it is better to say that Zhao Dongyun used it to announce that he had officially taken over the second battalion.

In his two lives, Zhao Dongyun became the commander of more than 1,500 people for the first time, but this is not too much of a problem for him, although he didn't know anything about military affairs in his previous life, there is no essential difference between managing people in an enterprise and managing people in the army. Moreover, after fusing the memories of the original body, he still has the memories of the original body studying for many years in his mind, even if he still has no military command talent, but it is still not a problem to move rigidly.

So don't look at him as the first time to hold a real position in the army, but what to do has already had a complete set of belly plans!

After meeting with the commanders of these units in the morning, he did not rush to get any new officers to take up the three fires, but called the sentry officers and Zhengmu of the second battalion to talk to each other, and he naturally did this on the one hand to deepen his sense of redoubt in the hearts of these lower-level officers, and on the other hand, he also tried to control the entire second battalion from the grassroots level.

As for the few leaders and assistants, except for one conversation on the first morning, Zhao Dongyun seemed to act as if they didn't have a zài at other times.

In addition to meeting people, Zhao Dongyun also inspected the barracks non-stop, on the one hand, he was cleaning up the camp, and on the other hand, he was trying to deepen contact with the soldiers, not asking these soldiers to be loyal to him immediately, but at least let these soldiers know that he Zhao Dongyun was here!

After a few days, Zhao Dongyun also figured out many problems in the second battalion, first of all, the soldiers were not yet in the ranks, and the reason for this was that many backbones were transferred to the standing army.

This is not just a problem of the second battalion, in fact, the entire Wuwei Right Army has been transferred to the standing army because many backbones have been transferred, so there are a large number of vacancies in personnel, especially grassroots officers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the standing army to be organized and trained into a left town in just a few months, and you must know that those ordinary soldiers can still be recruited and trained in a short time, but those technical backbones and grass-roots officers cannot be replenished in a short time, so they can only be transferred from the side of the Wuwei Right Army.

The exercise is still a month away, and the vacant personnel must be replenished as soon as possible.

The second problem is Chen Kuilong, Zhao Dongyun didn't know it at first, but a few days later, he found out that this Chen Kuilong was his competitor before, and now he seems to be unwilling, and he doesn't cooperate with his work in the past few days.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Dongyun naturally didn't think that he could exude the aura of Wang Ba and make him bow down, and he was not interested in playing any intrigue with Chen Kuilong. He's not filming a TV series, he only goes to play intrigue with his subordinates when he's so idle!

The solution prepared by Zhao Dongyun is very simple, that is, to transfer Chen Kuilong away, and kick him far away will naturally not let him get in the way!

Zhao Dongyun doesn't plan to play tricks like intrigue with others now, because that not only will it not seem that you are very smart, but it will give people the impression that you are dragging your feet, and you are intriguing like a girl!

And as a general, what he is most afraid of is dragging mud and water, and decisiveness is a necessary skill for a general!

And the exercise is just a month later, there is not much time left for Zhao Dongyun, if his performance in that exercise is excellent, then the word temporary signature on his head can be removed, and if the performance is mediocre, let alone turned positive, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be kicked back to the school as a teacher.

So Zhao Dongyun doesn't have much time to waste on intrigue with his subordinates, as the so-called those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die, since Chen Kuilong does not cooperate with Zhao Dongyun's work, then he unceremoniously waved his pen and directly recommended him to the Suiying Academy as a teacher!

As for whether he can climb out of the abyss of Suiying Academy in the future, it is not Zhao Dongyun's concern.

Just five days after Zhao Dongyun came, he transferred Chen Kuilong, the assistant, and removed two sentry commanders, which made a group of officers of the second battalion deeply feel Zhao Dongyun's style of doing things.

The Wuwei Right Army is Yuan Shikai's leading unit, and the training of this second battalion has not been left behind, and there is no shortage of ordnance, so after dealing with a few officers, there is no need for Zhao Dongyun to worry about the rest of the matter, after all, the combat effectiveness of this army has been maintained at a relatively stable level, and it is impossible to have too much fluctuation in a short period of time.

However, since Zhao Dongyun wanted to have an excellent performance in the exercise a month later, he had to find another way!

Duan Qirui said that when the time comes, it will be the vanguard side that will attack and defend on his side! Zhao Dongyun muttered the word defense in his mouth, and then naturally remembered the scenes in many film and television dramas, the charging troops rushed forward all over the mountains, and then fell under the machine gun fire on the opposite side, even if they barely rushed through, they were blocked by barbed wire.

"Machine guns, barbed wire!" Zhao Dongyun is no stranger to these two things, in fact, after coming to this era, he paid great attention to the relevant memories of the military, and also checked some of the information, knowing that the machine gun is no longer a strange thing in the armies of various countries, as early as 1894 During the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army has used the Maxim machine gun and the Gatling hand-cranked machine gun on a large scale.

In a certain way, during the First Sino-Japanese War or the beginning of the Huai Army era, the equipment level of the Qing Dynasty Army was not far from the great powers, and there may still be a slight quality gap, but it was far from being as strict as during the Second World War and even during the New China period. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, although the equipment level of the Qing army was slightly worse, it was far from being worse than in modern times.

When the great powers were equipped with single-loading rear-firing rifles, the Huai army was also equipped with similar rifles on a large scale, and when the great powers began to equip smokeless repeat-firing rifles, the Qing army in China also began to equip Manlisa and 1888 Committee rifles in large quantities.

In 1901, the Japanese were currently equipped with the Meiji 30-Year rifle, and there was no shadow of the 38-year rifle, which was later famous.

The G98 rifle on the German side has only been finalized for a few years, and there are still a large number of Type 1888 Commission rifles in service in the army, and in fact there are still a large number of second-line troops in Germany equipped with Type 1888 Commission rifles until World War I.

So in China, not to mention the old army, the equipment is disorderly, both old and new. As far as the new army is concerned, the right army of Wuwei is currently equipped with Manlisha rifles. The Beiyang Standing Army, which is still in preparation, is also expected to adopt Manlisa rifles and carbs on a large scale.

Several other troops, such as the vanguard of the Wuwei Right Army and the Ziqiang Army, are currently using old equipment, both the old 11 mm single-shot Mauser and the 7.92 mm new Mauser, the official name of this gun is the 1888 type committee rifle, and it is also commonly known as Hanyang made, old sleeve, leaky bottom five, Mauser quick robbery, small-caliber Mauser, etc.

However, in terms of Yuan Shikai's preference for imported goods, it won't be long before these two troops will be equipped with Manlixia rifles.

In terms of the rifles equipped by the new army, although there is a gap with the great powers, this gap is not enough to affect the outcome of the war!
