Chapter 134: Huangpu of the Sui Dynasty
(Ask for a ticket!) )
(Thank you for the monthly passes of xiaooo, ghost hands invisible, fish 118, xiaoguai12, oz flying snow zo children's shoes)
The so-called post-war summary meeting was divided into two levels. The first is the post-war summary military meeting of officers at and above the non-commissioned officer level and above presided over by the battalion commanders, and the other is the post-war summary military meeting of senior officers attended by all officers at and above the regiment level.
This is also completely founded by Chen Kefu, first, there is no professional staff team in the Northeast Army, and the various operational plans in the army are basically collective wisdom and efforts, centering on a strategic purpose.
There will definitely be a lot of loopholes in such a battle plan summarized by a group of big bosses, and this final summary meeting is to review the original battle plan again after the war.
Through the results of the war, we can test the entire operational plan, and see what is right, what is wrong, and what can be done better, first, to enhance the military quality of the officers through such meetings, and second, to change the old method of doing war, which only knew how to act according to orders from above, to a new combat method that is prepared for everything and can make a good battle plan in advance.
After all, they don't have professional strategists at all, and they don't have a professional staff team, and if everything has to be decided by a few of their generals, it will be a painful and imperfect way. Three stinkers, and one Zhuge Liang, he hopes to improve the command mode of the entire Northeast Army in this way.
The whole meeting was not too long, nor was it very short. In view of the problems that arose in this ambush battle, all the participating officers also discussed it again and found some problems, and finally they re-discussed the operational plan of the Liaohe ambush two days later and revised some details. The whole meeting was much less relaxed and cheerful than previous military meetings, and there was a lot more heavy pressure. Of course, Chen Kefu understands that this is all because of him, and he deliberately kept a straight face for the whole meeting today, and his whole face looked as if everyone who participated in the meeting owed him dozens of dollars and didn't pay it back, and he didn't have a good face for anyone.
Even Lu Shishen and Luo Lin, the two hardcore henchmen, wanted to tell a joke a few times to ease the atmosphere, but they were frightened by Chen Kefu's murderous glare, and they honestly lowered their heads and finished the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, no one dared to delay for a minute longer, and everyone hurriedly left the hall as if they were rushing to reincarnate.
Old man Li Benlei smiled, "Shuai, why do you deliberately scare them like this?" ”
Chen Kefu smiled, occasionally making the atmosphere tense, but also making them all lift their spirits. Now that the next ambush battle is about to start, and it will be several times more difficult than today's ambush in the city. What he did today is also in the hope that these generals can enter the state in advance.
"Old man, the situation in the army is worrying now. Through the second reorganization, the number of troops has increased. Moreover, after we temporarily reformed the military system and added military ranks, we were able to temporarily solve some command and other problems. First, the problem of grass-roots officers in the army, more than ninety percent of the newly appointed low-level officers do not know how to be a good squad leader or platoon leader. ”
"The second problem is that we are now also driving ducks to the shelves, and the veterans of the original broken barracks have been driven to serve as squad leaders and platoon leaders. But the echelon training of the low-level officers in the back is a big problem. Those squad and platoon commanders themselves don't know how to serve as officers, and it is even more difficult to rely on them to train a new generation of reserve officers. ”
"On this third issue, although we have established the positions of chief of staff and operational staff officers, we still do not have a complete staff team. Not only did the staff teams at the regimental and division levels not get it up, but the staff teams of our headquarters didn't get it together. All the officers are still waiting for orders from above, as in the past, which is not in keeping with our current situation. ”…,
"The fourth problem is that there are too many new recruits in the army, which has completely reached more than nine to one, and it is easy to be defeated by the enemy in battle. Our army must have some strong troops, such as the Heavy Cavalry Brigade, which is composed entirely of veterans, and can play a supporting role when it is critical. ”
Chen Kefu was not polite to the old man, and talked about the current problems of the Northeast Army in one breath.
The old man nodded, with 10,000 people as the backbone, and 80,000 people were organized at once, which was originally not a very reliable thing. If, after the reorganization, there is a two-year and one-year training run-in, then the combat effectiveness can still be increased by more than half. But as now, once the whole organization is completed, it will have to continue to support the war independently, which is something impossible.
The army's peacetime training and marching and fighting are completely different things, such as ordinary training, which is trained by the Eagle Yang Prefecture in various places. However, in the event of a war, it will have to be completely reorganized and multi-arms coordinated and mixed operations will be carried out.
For example, infantry, and score archers, crossbowmen, odd soldiers, jumping and other troops. However, the current Northeast Army is limited by the fact that the army is full of new recruits, so it can only be separated and engage in a single branch of the queue, such as the current light infantry regiment and heavy infantry brigade, and among the light infantry, there is no distinction between archers, crossbowmen, and jumpers, the reason is that the army is now all new soldiers, and it is better to command a single branch of the army.
Although I know the current situation, there is nothing I can do about it for the time being. If you want to carry out wartime marching and mixed formation like the regular army of the Sui army, you must require that these soldiers and horses must be well-trained soldiers and horses, so as to meet the command conditions after the mix.
"It will be impossible to solve the problem of officers at all levels of the army for a while, and a good officer has to be one in a hundred, one in a thousand, and the time required in the middle of this is quite long. And the staff system that the marshal is reforming now is not much different from the rest of our past Sima Chang history. However, if it is really as the marshal said, the establishment of a staff team in units above the regimental level will have a great impact on the war, but the establishment of a staff team at and above the regimental level is only afraid that the number of strategists needed for this will be a large number, but I am afraid that the idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. ”
For a traditional soldier like Mr. Li Benlei, it is the responsibility of a strategist to give advice, while the responsibility of a general is to command the battle. This does not conflict with the staff system that Chen Kefu said, but the key is that an excellent strategist is extremely hard to find, and Chen Kefu actually plans to build a staff team, and each regiment or above has a staff team, which is a bit of a pipe dream anyway. ”
"As for what the commander said about keeping the troops strong, I think it's really important. Although there are many large troops, there are no troops that can be the mainstay. It's okay to fight an ambush like today, but if it's a field battle, once the battle is lost, the morale of the recruits will be lost, and it is very likely that they will be defeated. And if there is an elite unit like the heavy cavalry brigade, it can change the tide of the battle when it is critical. It's just that now our soldiers and horses have been separated except for the broken barracks, and it is even more impossible to redeploy such a force now, otherwise, changing the order and frequently reorganizing the army will make the army chaotic, which is not a good plan. ”
The problem raised by Chen Kefu is indeed an urgent problem to be solved in the military. And the old man, with his years of experience in the army, also pointed out some key parts of the problem at once. It can be said that basically things are stuck in a dead knot. …,
According to the marching establishment of the Sui army today, a general commands an army, with about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and about 14,000 auxiliary soldiers. In the regular establishment, the leading general was in charge of the barracks, which numbered about 4,000 men and horses, and there were also 1,000 cavalry. These 4,000 people are the elite troops of the whole army, that is, the elite force of the whole army, and they are also the reserve of the whole army.
Now, although there is no Chinese army in Chen Kefu's temporary establishment, the heavy cavalry brigade, heavy infantry brigade, light cavalry independent regiment, and reconnaissance regiment directly under the military headquarters are equivalent to the elite forces of the Chinese military camp. And the troops below are unlikely to come up with such an elite force.
After pondering for a while, Chen Kefu hesitated at the old man and said, "Old man, I have a plan now, you can't come and see if you want to go down." ”
When the old man Li Benlei heard that Chen Kefu had a new plan, he also slapped his forehead, and he was now numb to this great general who always had all kinds of new ideas. Anyway, now that the emperor is far away, the lone army is overseas, and he is the largest in the army. He can change it however he wants, as long as it sounds reliable.
"At present, we have not set up a martial arts hall to break the army, and our idea was to train officers so that they can become qualified generals. But lately, we've been bringing in all the people, a big group of people to discuss, and I don't think the rest of the work has been very effective. So I now have a new idea, which is to improve on our original solution. ”
"Improve the Broken Army Lecture Hall?" The old man was a little puzzled, at the beginning, he was more opposed to this officer training class, he thought that the growth of a general could only be trained after a thousand tempers, rather than such a concentrated cultivation of vegetables. However, after such a period of time, he also believes that in order to solve the problem of officers in the army in a short period of time, although this lecture hall is not a particularly good method, it can still be regarded as having some effect. He didn't understand why Chen Kefu was suddenly going to make any improvements now.
"My idea is this, let's build a new non-commissioned officer lecture hall, this non-commissioned officer lecture hall, as the name suggests, is a special place to train non-commissioned officers. It is a college dedicated to training sergeants for many Northeast Army, and the duration of study is set at one year, and qualified soldiers can be drawn from the army, or they can be recruited directly from our Sui people. As long as they are in good health and at least twenty-one years old, preferably literate, they can participate in the cadet recruitment of our non-commissioned officer school. Those who have passed the recruitment of the non-commissioned officer lecture hall are equivalent to becoming a soldier of our Northeast Army, but they do not have to go to the battlefield when they study, but after completing their studies, they will be awarded the rank of corporal to soldier, and assigned to the Northeast Army as deputy squad leader and squad leader, and it is stipulated that each cadet must serve for five years after graduation. ”
"This non-commissioned officer teaches martial arts for one year, divided into step courses, riding courses, and engineering courses. The infantry department mainly learns infantry to do war, the cavalry department mainly learns cavalry to do war, and this engineering department is mainly to learn engineering and civil engineering, including the operation and maintenance of various large-scale siege equipment and crossbow beds and catapults in the army. In addition to various military training, all cadets should also include: tactics; History of War; Military Science (Establishment Science); Ordnance; Riding archery; Fortification (Engineering); Graphic Communication; Medical; Basic Chinese Studies, Basic Arithmetic. In general, these people are the cornerstone of the army in the future, and they will also move to higher officer positions in the future. ”
In Chen Kefu's mind, since he wants to do it, he should do it well and do it in one step. Taking advantage of the fact that he is still the general of the Great Sui, and there is still time, then make a Sui Dynasty version of the Whampoa Military Academy. At present, although there is an urgent need for officers in the army, if we rely on the non-commissioned officer school for training, it will definitely not be able to quench our thirst. …,
He did this just to take this opportunity to set up this martial arts hall first. The goal is not the present, but the future. Through such an opportunity, the non-commissioned officers will be used to train the army's grass-roots commanding officers in batches and quickly.
In the coming troubled times, soldiers are easy to play. If you break a city at random, you can even have thousands, tens of thousands of young people who can serve as soldiers. But it is not enough to have soldiers without generals.
And this non-commissioned officer lecture hall is a place that can train a large number of grassroots officers in the shortest time and most quickly. Since ancient times, officers have grown up in the army, and they have learned the method of fighting from the dead with a knife and a gun.
When the Great Sui fell, troops were raised in various places, and this officer would also become the key to restricting the strength of the army. If you want to get a group of qualified officers, you have to recruit and co-opt officers from other forces who have grown up in your own army.
However, according to the old method, the allocation from the army is a bit unreliable for a broken military camp without a foundation. And those who co-opt and co-opt prisoners are no more loyal and reliable than those who have not been cultivated by themselves
Loyal, reliable, and capable, this is the ultimate goal of Chen Kefu's single-minded attempt to engage in non-commissioned officer martial arts.
Old man Li Benlei listened to Chen Ke's talk for a long time, and after a long time, he said suspiciously, "What kind of non-commissioned officer lecture hall do you run, do you plan to train reserve non-commissioned officers in the army, or do you plan to train imperial examination scholars?" This recruitment of an ordinary soldier actually requires literacy, and he has to learn so many courses, is this really just to train squad leaders in the army instead of captains and generals? ”
