Zhu Cihong said expressionlessly: "Isn't the expansion of the four divisions just to be promoted to the battalion level?" ”

Niu Chenghu was a little embarrassed and explained: "Your Highness......"

"That's what I thought too." Zhu Cihong said suddenly: "Before Zuo Guangxian, I promised to expand two divisions for him. ”

"Your Highness!" Niu Chenghu hurriedly said: "Zuo Guangxian only guards one Yu County, but there is a shortage of soldiers here!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "On your side, I plan to expand the headquarters by four thousand." ”

Everyone present was suddenly silent. Four thousand headquarters, plus their own headquarters, that is five thousand headquarters, such a big battalion head was enough to open a town before. Although Niu Chenghu used to be the chief military officer, he always had a mother-in-law on his head, and now he can lead an army alone, which is naturally a dream thing.

In terms of terrain, Zuoguang first has a sufficient geographical advantage, as long as the rear is not chaotic, the enemy may not be able to attack even if it is a hundred times stronger. And Niu Chenghu here is more passes, the entire thousand headquarters to divide troops to guard nine important passages, of which Liaozhou in the north across the Taiyue Mountain and Taiyuan Mansion Qing soldiers to confront, there are three passes such as Maling Pass to guard.

Tannin therefore lent a division to Niu Chenghu, but he was still overstretched in terms of troops, and could only use a large number of auxiliaries and civilian service. And the current combat mode of the East Palace is no longer suitable for the use of a large number of peasant soldiers, and the troops that cannot form a tactical coordination with the main battle troops, no matter how much they have, are useless, and they waste food in vain.

As a result of the strategy of using the tactics of large phalanxes, the training time for recruits was shortened to two months. In the first month, discipline training and queue training were strengthened to improve the physical fitness of fighters. In the second month, training for single-weapon attacks was intensified.

After the further promotion of the Mizumitsui jishu, in addition to the barrel, Tonomiya also entered the fast lane in the manufacture of plate chest and back armor.

It seems that the skirt armor that protects the thighs has been subtracted, but in fact, from the summary of each battle, the thighs are not an easily injured part. Moreover, the major artery of the leg is on the inner thigh, which is not easy to form a fatal injury. The materials and time saved in this way can be used to create more breastplates.

Infantry equipped with this simple plate armor also learned only one weapon during the entire recruit training process: the spear.

The tactical actions are simplified to: prepare, stab, pull, and return.

In the eyes of old-fashioned generals such as You Shiwei, this is the real return to the right path. Wouldn't it be a mistake if all recruits had to be trained for three months before the country hired the army? But in Zhu Cihong's eyes. This is really a contradiction between the ever-developing form of warfare and the shortage of troops. And he didn't think that the previous intensive recruit training was doing useless work, and it turned out that after three months of training, the recruits of the Mandarin Duck Formation of the flag team were obviously stronger than the two-month phalanx soldiers in terms of fighting will and tactical skills.

"By the beginning of November, there will be five battalions of recruits to go down the flag." Zhu Cihong broke a fierce news, and the entire war room couldn't help but let out a cheerful cry.

Zhu Cihong himself didn't think there was anything to cheer about. Reducing the intensity of training undoubtedly reduces combat effectiveness and increases the number of battle losses. But China was too big, and the Manchu virality was too destructive. If you don't run faster, even if you regain the land in the future, it will take a lot of time to recover.

At this time, Huaxia has lost its leading position in Shijie, and every year of delay is a crime against the entire nation.

There are no auxiliary arms such as staff officers and logistical baggage in the new barracks, so the 5,000 men in each new barracks are sufficient soldiers, and after the flag corps is delegated, the actual establishment will exceed five battalions.

Two of these battalions were to be expanded with the 1st Guards Battalion to form the 1st Guards Division. The remaining three battalions. One for the 2nd Guards Battalion and one for the 3rd Guards Battalion. The zuihou one is as a seed troop. The training camp was organized into five training departments, and then sent to Shandong and Henan respectively to establish a recruit training camp.

As a result, every two months, more civilians become full-fledged soldiers.

"What I need now are non-commissioned officers and officers." Zhu Cihong said: "When the recruits come, we must immediately form a new battle sequence." In this regard, my idea is to increase the number of deputies in each department. Military ranks can not be given without busy. ”

Put a capable soldier in the position of a deputy, so that he can see more clearly how he should work as a commander, so that he will not be in a hurry when he leads the troops himself.

For the veteran soldiers, it is a matter of course that soldiers dare to fight and can fight, and they are promoted to non-commissioned officers and officers. This is not surprising.

However, for Zhu Cihong, he believes in professionally trained non-commissioned officers and officers, and now there is a reality of assessment and no education, which makes him a little powerless. The affairs of the General Staff are getting busier and busier, and You Shiwei is even more reluctant to be a "teacher", which makes Jiangwutang feel like a backward mother.

"The ministry will set up two deputy posts at all levels above the bureau level." Niu Chenghu said with confidence: "Please rest assured, Your Highness!" There will definitely be no such thing as having soldiers without officials. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, looking for a candidate who could be the head of the military academy and the non-commissioned officer school among all the officers he remembered. Originally, he hoped that Sun Chuanting would take up this position, but since the workload of the Ministry of War had increased, he could no longer let this secretary and elder of the Ministry of War serve as the principal.

Zhu Cihong also made an ordinary plan based on the experience of later generations, but found that after the establishment of the Republic in later generations, the principal of the military academy was a marshal with outstanding military achievements. Now the average age of the officers under his command is less than thirty years old, which is obviously impossible to replicate.

……

"Wang Yi!" The military judge shouted.

Wang Yi woke up suddenly, quickly stood up, and said loudly: "Here!" ”

There was the sound of chains colliding outside the door, and the heavy iron door let out a tooth-aching creak and slowly opened. The torches in the aisle threw light into the door, stabbing Wang Yi's eyes slightly.

Sturdy cowhide boots stepped on the wet stone bricks and stepped into the cell.

Wang Yi's eyes moved up along the pair of hard boots, and he saw the gold threads on both sides of the black military pants, and the one who was already standing in front of him in his heart was a general. It's just that he has the light on his back and can't see his face clearly.

"You did it to usurp your military position and issue false orders?" The general's voice was calm, but full of majesty.

Wang Yi secretly said in his heart: This has been tried several times, and he still asked...... But he still replied honestly: "Back to the general, I did it below." ”

"What did you think at the time? I don't know if this is a felony that can be killed on the spot! ”

"I know below." Wang Yi has been locked up for an unknown number of days, and he has lost his energy, and he replied weakly: "It's just that if you don't change your formation at that time and let the enemy retreat, it is likely to leave a chance for the enemy army to regroup." Becoming a junior can avoid this possibility. ”

"How can you be sure that the enemy is not a feint?" The general asked again a question that Wang Yi had been asked hundreds of times.

"If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold." Wang Yi didn't have the strength to speak, he licked his chapped lips, replied with eight words, and didn't explain again.

It's meant to be a feeling.

At that time, in that place, seeing such a situation, I had a thought that I firmly believed...... This is a common thing that happens to everyone, and if you want to break the casserole and ask the end, who can explain it?

The general took a step forward, leaned over slightly to look at Wang Yi, who was a head shorter than him, and said, "You are a second-class diploma, have you ever thought about being a staff officer?" ”

"General Hui," Wang Yi shook his head and said, "I want to go into battle to kill the enemy, get ahead, and make meritorious contributions." ”

"In the battle of Gaocheng, can you kill the enemy?" The general asked.

"Go back to the general, kill three heads!" Wang Yi suddenly came to his senses, and for some reason, his heartbeat was much faster.

"Come with me." The general shook off his scarlet cloak and turned away.

Wang Yi didn't stop at all, and immediately followed, although his feet were a little staggering, his heart was bright. As the stone steps under his feet reached the end, the iron gate above was opened by the jailers left and right, and Wang Yi saw that the general was standing in the sun, as if he was covered with a layer of gold armor.

"From now on," the general turned, "we're truly family, Sergeant Wang Yi." The general smiled in the sun.

"Sergeant?" Wang Yi muttered, "I...... How did you become a sergeant? ”

"It's a good time for you kid, sergeant." A giant as tall as a black tower walked up to the general's side, and a huge shadow almost enveloped Wang Yi in it.

The red flag of the winged flying tiger hunts in the wind. (To be continued......)
