Chapter 170: Honorable Independent Regiment of the Americas

The performance of the Self-Defense Force of the Americas in the face of the regular army of Europe this time perfectly exploded the image of weakness, and Zhao Dutian finally made up his mind to remove the Self-Defense Force of the Americas from the front-line battle sequence!

This time, the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas did not even show much of the role of consuming the enemy's elite, and completely relied on the superiority of artillery to kill the French elite on the opposite side!

The only role of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas was to consume some of the elite bullets and grenades of the French grenadiers!

Oh, by the way, it also consumed some of the physical strength of the French grenadiers, and killing people is also hard work......

But!

You must know that these American Self-Defense Forces need additional perks on the front-line battlefield!

Is this role worth Zhao Dutian's money?

However, the mode of the Self-Defense Force of the Americas going to the battlefield cannot be completely abandoned, because Zhao Dutian is envisioning a plan to form an elite Indian independence force!

Yes, the experience and deeds of the character of Flax, Zhao Dutian has already learned about it from beginning to end, this is a politically reliable talent who has been brainwashed by the Imperial Military Academy!

It's not that he has a good mind to fight, Flax is just a decent officer, but this Indian officer has a merit, he is very good at motivating morale, and he also loves soldiers like a son!

There was not a single soldier of the regiment he led who did not love him!

This is also the reason why so many soldiers were willing to block bullets for him when Flax was tragically charged to death with a pigeon battle flag wrapped all over his body!

With such a loyal talent, how could Zhao Dutian not make full use of it?

The image of Flax Duo loving soldiers like a son is not only known to the soldiers of his regiment, but almost every soldier in the American Field Army has heard of it!

The battle with the Franco-Spanish coalition army made Flax Duo famous!

However, the part of the American field army that restored morale was only the strength of one more regiment of flax, if it weren't for the herd mentality of the soldiers, flax and his soldiers would have been fought out long ago!

Therefore, in this battle, the American Field Army can be regarded as the unit with the greatest losses except for the American Self-Defense Force, which collapsed and was slaughtered when it came up!

Even the Russian strong men who have been fighting hand-to-hand for a long time do not have as many casualties as the American Field Army, after all, the Russian strong men are pressing the opposite side to fight, the American Field Army......

Flax Duo, the heroic version of the Indian soldier, naturally has to be rewarded, and it should also be used as a key propaganda object, reflecting the image of equality and national co-prosperity of the Han Empire!

Zhao Dutian split the American Field Army, which had lost a large number of soldiers, and transferred Han officers and a small number of reliable Indian veterans, and then transferred some soldiers who were not too bad from the American Self-Defense Force that had experienced the war, forming a framework for training troops!

In fact, it's a training battalion plus an officer corps of about 10,000 troops!

On weekdays, this unit is called the National Army of the Americas, and the number of people in this framework is not large, about 1,000 people, when the Han Empire needs to fight on its own, it will directly pull out a group of soldiers of the American Self-Defense Force and stuff them into this framework!

Only a short period of adaptation training is carried out, and since the basic queue passwords and the use of weapons of the soldiers of the Self-Defense Force of the Americas have been mastered, the two sides only need to run in a little bit, and they can be pulled into the battlefield!

The training battalion is nominally for training for the teaching army, but in fact it is a wartime overseer, and they will enjoy the treatment of a standing army!

Let the soldiers of the training camp naturally form a sense of superiority over those soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas!

In fact, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas is very limited, but it has an obvious benefit, Zhao Dutian does not need to provide additional subsidies to the large-scale front-line Self-Defense Forces of the Americas!

The Indian soldiers who were temporarily brought in to the American National Army were calling on them to fight for the Americas with righteousness, and they would not be given any allowance!

However, there is still to be encouragement, and if you perform well on the battlefield, or if you win, you can get a bonus!

Anyway, Zhao Dutian has clearly seen the combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, they are of no use except for serving as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's weapons and ammunition, and the role of the teaching battalion to supervise the war is to ensure that these soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas who have been forcibly pulled will not collapse with a single touch!

This will undoubtedly ease the government's finances a lot, after all, the cost of maintaining a general army of about 1,000 people for several years is probably equivalent to a month's allowance of tens of thousands of Self-Defense Forces of the Americas......

Zhao Dutian did this not only to reduce financial expenditure, but also to train a group of Indian soldiers who had experienced the war, so that they could be used as supplementary soldiers for the next American Honorary Independent Regiment!

Yes, since Flax Duo can make Indian veterans burst out with complete combat effectiveness, it is natural to make good use of it, so that Flax Duo can be promoted as a hero of the Indians, and change the concept that Indian soldiers are not valued in the army system of the Han Empire (even if this is the truth!). ), and you can have an extra army that can fight!

Zhao Dutian gave Flax Duo the title of an honorary independent regiment, which enhanced the sense of honor of the thousands of people separated from the dismantled American Field Army, and most importantly, the soldiers in this unit are all composed of Indians, and even the commander-in-chief is Flax Duo, who loves soldiers like a son!

Naturally, there will be no unfair treatment between Han Chinese and Indians!

Moreover, as a reward for this huge independent regiment that was reborn from the American Field Army, their military salary will also be on par with the front-line troops such as the Han Guards and the Russian Foreign Legion, and the American Honorary Independent Regiment is in Zhao Dutian's mind, but if it is to be used as the main force in foreign wars, it naturally cannot be materially disadvantaged!

Personally, Flax Duo was suddenly promoted from an ordinary infantry regiment commander to an independent regiment commander who was obviously regarded as an elite training, but it was a great improvement!

The rank directly crossed over the rank of lieutenant officer and became a veritable major!

This is a real improvement in the military of the Han Empire, which has strict rank control!

Even the number of personnel controlled by Flax has been greatly expanded, and most of the soldiers in the American Field Army sequence have been divided into this American Honorary Independent Regiment, with more than 4,000 people!

It's already equivalent to the strength of two regiments!

The only fly in the ointment is that this Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas is not attached to any artillery units, and only a small number of Indian cavalry serve as scouts......

In addition to the Han Guards, which has direct artillery subordinates, the artillery units of the Han Empire are generally separate, and during the war, the tactics of concentrated artillery bombardment are used, which has played a gratifying lethality in the battle with the Franco-Spanish coalition forces!
