Chapter 0259: Forming an Army
drove Tan Feng away, and Zhou Qingfeng stayed overnight in the 'coal mining village'. Early the next morning, several miners in the village found that the inspector Master Tan was gone, but the young man Zhou Dongjia, who had not shown up for a long time, began to take care of things.
"Today's work is suspended for a day, I want to see what you have done during this time?" Zhou Qingfeng used his power to gather the original inspection team and start the inventory. The small leader of the team is still the descendant he brought back from Ehe Kulun, and the personnel are also ordinary children recruited from the west of Fushun City.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't have time to train this team, and after Tan Feng took over, he didn't have the concept of high-intensity training at all. The Ming officers and soldiers believe in 'one exercise in three days and one practice in five days', which is already the standard for strengthening the army. After all, military households lack food and clothing, and they can die of exhaustion if they practice too much - in Zhou Qingfeng's view, high school students' military training for a month is stronger than that of the Ming official army.
Since the salary was paid by Mr. Sun, the hearts of the inspection team were quite cohesive, and they at least recognized Zhou Qingfeng, the owner who gave the money. However, looking at their lazy and lazy appearance, Zhou Qingfeng was not happy. "I can't line up, it's really a bunch of rangers. Tall bulls, let them form a team and run ten laps around the village. ”
The more than 40 people Xu Bing brought back, plus the more than 40 people who patrolled, the number was exactly ninety. This is all the armed forces in Zhou Qingfeng's hands. He organized this team into a company-level guards, three platoons that were not properly formed. Gao Daniu and Wu Damen served as the platoon commanders of the first and second platoons respectively. Three rows, it's a women's platoon, there are only a dozen people.
The women's platoon is the remnants of Xu Bing's 'Women's Rescue Association'. Xu Bing once had high hopes for this team, but there were only a hundred or so people left in front of him. Most of the rest left the organization, and many were killed.
Xu Bing's eyes were red when she talked about her 'Women's Rescue Association', and her whole person was murderous, and she kept saying that one day she would inevitably take revenge. Zhou Qingfeng didn't ask about the specific experience, but he could also imagine how fierce the counterattack of the stubborn forces in the countryside would be.
"What's your name?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the platoon commander of the women's platoon. As he formed a separate line of female soldiers, a short, thin woman stepped forward, apparently at the head of the group.
"Report chief, I don't have a name or a surname." The female platoon commander said, "I was originally a child daughter-in-law of a family, and the child I married died of illness, and I was dragged to the funeral. It was Sister Xu who led someone to rescue me and pulled me into the team. Because I was thin, thin like a firewood stick, my sisters called me Sister Firewood. ”
"Ah......, people still need a big name. Sister Chai Huo, Sister Chai Huo, why don't you just be surnamed Chai, how about being called Chai Jie? White and clean. Zhou Qingfeng casually named people, and also used a branch to write the word 'Chai Jie' on the ground.
The thin female platoon commander looked down at the two words, shook her head and said, "Chief, I can't read." ”
"Give me your hand." Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand. The firewood platoon is less than 1.5 meters tall and about 15 years old. After holding her hand, Zhou Qingfeng used his spiritual power to probe her body - not surprisingly, she had a large number of old injuries on her body, and even her body had aged prematurely because of her perennial bad life.
After the spiritual power was instilled throughout the body, Chai Jie obviously felt that her body had been greatly improved. Although she didn't understand what Zhou Qingfeng had done, she still said respectfully, "Thank you, chief." ”
This woman has a calm mind and doesn't speak much, and she looks like she is soaked in bitter water. Zhou Qingfeng saw that she was carrying a short bow, and the women's platoon was also equipped with a large number of such weapons. This allows them to distance themselves from their opponents and minimize hand-to-hand combat for strength. He pulled the short bow, and the bowstring was not small.
"Do you know how to shoot arrows?"
"Yes. The family I married didn't give me much to eat, so I had to go into the mountains and shoot a bird or a rabbit and roast it. If I can't shoot my prey, I'll starve to death. ”
Alas, ......, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what to say. The poor in this era are really miserable, and the poor women are even more miserable. He called for 'Dog Meat', took his pulley bow from his saddle, handed it over, and said, "Try this bow." ”
The strange-looking pulley bow successfully attracted the attention of the female soldiers, Chai Jie quickly got started according to Zhou Qingfeng's instructions, she hooked the arrow with a spreader, but failed to pull it under force. The bow was still a little too strong for a fifteen-year-old girl.
Just as Chai Jie was about to let go, Zhou Qingfeng directly slapped a 'Mighty King Kong Talisman' on his shoulder. Chai Jie's strength skyrocketed, and this time she pulled the bowstring apart and held it down with ease. She immediately felt the effort-saving effect of the pulley bow when it was stationary, which was great for aiming.
With a whoosh, the spreader released, and the arrow shot at a gravel ten meters away. The stone, which was no more than half a fist smaller, was exploded by an arrow. The strength and precision of the bowstring made the female soldiers smack their tongues, and then looked at this strange appearance, and everyone was amazed.
"This bow is a bit out of place for me, but it should work for you. It's precise and powerful. However, it shoots slowly, making it suitable for dealing with enemies from afar. In the future, you will be responsible for medium-range firepower. ”
Zhou Qingfeng explained the advantages and disadvantages of the pulley bow and the use of the pulley bow, even if he gave it to Chai Jie. This bow has accompanied Zhou Qingfeng for more than half a year, and it can be regarded as a great achievement, but now its bowstring strength is soft for Zhou Qingfeng. More than 20 talisman seals were sent over together, which were used to enhance Chai Jie's strength and make it easier for her to use.
"I think Sister Xu should have told you a lot of truths and told you what you want to fight for in the future?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the entire female platoon again, and said solemnly: "Sister Xu and I are the same, I hope you can become a spark, and you can have the ability to spark the prairie and change the world." ”
Due to the plummeting number of Zhou Qingfeng's prayers, he didn't have enough spiritual power to squander. But he still tried his best to physically strengthen the personnel of his guards, especially the dozen or so female soldiers. These female soldiers were gathered by Xu Bing at a huge cost, and Zhou Qingfeng also hoped that they could become stronger and survive as much as possible in the more brutal battles in the future.
"By the way, you can't read yet, and you haven't attended the elementary class of the school, which is not good." If Zhou Qingfeng wants to strengthen his guards, he must transform them ideologically. But he currently does not have any spare teachers to train him, and the main task of the Guards is definitely combat training. "It's a real headache."
"Gao Da Niu, is your daughter-in-law literate?" Zhou Qingfeng suddenly thought of something, "Let your daughter-in-law go to the school in the west of the city to learn new culture and new knowledge during the day, and train you as a teacher at night." An army without culture has no soul and cannot win a war. ”
Gao Daniu was from a low background, and he obeyed Zhou Qingfeng's words, and immediately nodded and said: "My daughter-in-law also came to Fushun this time, and I asked her to listen to the arrangement of the owner." My daughter-in-law is smart, and she will definitely be able to teach well. ”
The battle sequence of the guards was completed, and Zhou Qingfeng also assigned a cooking squad and a transport squad to the team. The cooking squad consisted of fifteen people and was equipped with five field cooking vehicles converted from trolleys. Three carts were loaded with stoves, pots and bowls, one cart was loaded with coal fuel, and one cart was loaded with grain, rice, oil, salt, and vegetables.
The transport squad consisted of twenty-five people and was equipped with fifteen trolleys, which were used to transport the weapons and equipment of the Guards, as well as various combat tools and supplies. They were also responsible for taking care of the horses of the Guards. In short, in order to improve the troops' field marching and combat capabilities, Zhou Qingfeng can be said to have racked his brains and acted generously.
After the team was formed, he had to practice, Zhou Qingfeng put aside the chores in the west of the city, didn't even care about Tan Feng's affairs and let it ferment, and concentrated on studying how to give full play to the combat effectiveness of his team. He was also not a proper officer, and he could not fiddle with too advanced tactics, and the only reference was a "Militia Cadre Manual", which he used to compile an infantry drill code.
"Ah......, Lao Tzu's military band can finally open."
Since the weapons were only spears and bows and arrows, Zhou Qingfeng's infantry drill book could not be written after only a thin ten pages. Combat training is the simplest stab, and there is no more fancy. At most, add some earthwork, camping, marching, vigilance, and so on.
After doing this, Zhou Qingfeng cultivated his guards as an army seed. Since it is a seed army, it is naturally 'a small sparrow, but all kinds of internal organs', and all kinds of troops that should be there must be them.
So Zhou Qingfeng brought Qiao Xuenian and his group to make a communication class, dispatched nurses from the hospital to make a medical class, and pulled people from the craftsman apprentices to make a sapper class. For the sake of reserving talents, the number of people in these classes is relatively large. Eventually, his Guards swelled from ninety to nearly two hundred, with more personnel than combatants.
"Wake up at six in the morning and go five kilometers in a group. Alas, these people's physique is only afraid that they will not be able to run five kilometers, tentatively three kilometers. Otherwise, if you run to the death, you have to collect the body. After the cross-country is over, the cooking class will make breakfast, and the others will do a morning exercise.
Breakfast at seven o'clock, half an hour should be enough for them. Military training in the morning. Oops...... how do you do this training?
What is written in the "Handbook for Militia Cadres" seems to have to be copied. Hell, I don't know a lot of the training myself. How should this horn be blown and how do I know?
Life training in the afternoon, cultural education courses in the evening, and an emergency gathering from time to time at night? This must be, and the experience of night battles should be inherited and not lost. Lao Tzu is such a person now, he is definitely not tough when he really fights, and it is serious to sneak around at night. In this way, night battles still need to be practiced.
What is this book? "Tactics", so thick? This is the tactical arrangement of hot weapons, can it be used in cold weapons warfare? Forget it, take a look at it first, and it will be beneficial to open the book. Who made it impossible for me to find a book on ancient tactics. ”
Zhou Qingfeng spent two days completing the copywriting work, and then began to practice according to his crude infantry drill code. The entire Guards became a test for him to hone his command skills and verify the drill code, and it was extremely difficult to pull the team out early in the morning and run the whole team. This is still the case where he has a military formation to strengthen his command, otherwise it will be even more chaotic.
As the saying goes, 'everything is hard at the beginning', and until everything is on the right track, busyness and chaos are inevitable.
