Chapter 165: Restructuring of the Army

Lu Nanqing is the biggest gain in this recruitment, with him, all the technical problems of Li Yang's weapon control are basically solved.

From then on, it was no longer that there was no equipment and could not make what Zuò wanted, but that the equipment could not meet Lu Nanqing's needs

Guan Jun and Guan Guoping warmly entertained Lu Nanqing and introduced Li Yang for him, Li Yang was busy with the transformation of the army from the Nirvana Mercenary Regiment to the Pingyang Army, but he was still overjoyed to hear that such a national-level authoritative scientist was coming.

Li Yang's employment is based on qualifications and not qualifications.

Most people, they still have to rely on qualifications and merit to climb up step by step in the system, but a national treasure-level scientist like Lu Nanqing must be exceptional.

Li Yang immediately made a decision to set up the real yàn room of the Pingyang Army, which was directly led by Li Yang, the Intelligence Bureau was responsible for protection, and the Logistics Department was responsible for the supply of materials, as long as the Pingyang Army had it to be transferred at will.

As for the rank, Li Yang directly gave the rank of colonel, that is, this person is not a civilian official at all, he is directly in the army, and his salary is one level higher.

On the third day after taking office, Lu Nanqing took three students to visit the industrial zone of Qinglin and several factories that were about to be prepared in Pingyang, and solved several material problems on the spot, so that the difficulty of Guan Jun's delay in opening the artillery factory was solved in an instant.

This is the difficult person will not, the person who will not be difficult, they have the best technical level in the past, Guan Guoping, an old skilled worker, who has only relied on experience and experience to get to the present, how can it not be compared with a professor like Lu Nanqing.

The government is engaged in large-scale recruitment, and the restructuring of the army is almost ready.

Li Yang will set up the Binh Duong Army in Binh Duong, which is tentatively designated as two infantry brigades and several battalions and regiments directly under the military headquarters, and it is expected that after the army is completed, the number of regular soldiers will reach more than 20,000.

Zhang Sheng was the commander of the first brigade and Hong Jun was the commander of the second brigade.

Set up a special operations regiment, the Nirvana Regiment, with the regiment commander Qi Wenliang.

Qi Wenliang has always been like engaging in special operations, this time it can be regarded as following his thoughts, and judging from the number, fools know that this will be the descendant of the lineage.

The cavalry battalion, heavy artillery battalion, reconnaissance battalion, and guard battalion under the military headquarters are all strengthened battalions.

The configuration at the brigade level is simple, two infantry regiments and a brigade headquarters are only, because heavy mortars need to be pulled by horse-drawn carts, so the brigade level is not matched, as for light mortars, because the firing range is too close, they are assigned to the battalion level, and there is no longer a direct command at the regiment and brigade level.

The military rank system was restored, the regiment commander was awarded the rank of colonel, and the brigade commander was awarded the rank of colonel, and Li Yang originally wore his non-rank officer uniform, but under the persuasion of everyone, he wore the rank of major general.

This kind of regular expansion is the proper meaning of the question, and the only difference lies in the establishment of the staff officer system.

Originally, Li Yang was the commander-in-chief, and there were not many teams, although Li Yang was not very good at fighting, but he had the experience of the previous life, coupled with the prophetic nature of this life, he could only get up and be at ease.

However, the army expanded to more than 20,000 people, which was not something that he Li Yang could command.

Li Yang also knows how capable he is, he drives ducks to the shelves, maybe he is competent to command a regiment, and if he is asked to bring more, he will be blind.

He mainly grasps the general direction, the overall situation, and leads the troops, and he can't play it.

Therefore, the staff officer system must be established.

Fortunately, there are a large number of officers who graduated from regular military academies in these armies, and they also let him get a demon like Yao Wenyuan.

Li Yangli disagreed, and the third colonel-level officer in the Pingyang Army was Yao Wenyuan.

The Pingyang Army Staff Headquarters was established by Yao Wenyuan, and during the construction period, people were asked to give people and things to things.

Yao Wenyuan said: The General Staff needs the foresight of intelligence and the cooperation of the Intelligence Bureau.

Okay, Li Yang was an elite intelligence officer from the intelligence department and transferred it to the General Staff.

Yao Wenyuan said that it is necessary to select personnel from various units to form a general staff.

Okay, Li Yang went down with a piece of paper, and the troops were not in a hurry to reorganize, so let the staff pick people first.

Yao Wenyuan said: It is necessary to set up operational staff officers at the company level and chief of staff at the battalion level, and the chief of staff at the highest level should have command authority.

From then on, each unit was set up as a second-in-command, and after the commander of the unit was killed, the first chief of staff took over the command position.

Yao Wenyuan said that the military theoretical level of the commanders of various units is too low, and they must either be demoted or retrained.

This one will work too! Eighty percent of the officers above the company level are Li Yang's old brothers, and if they can't say that they will surrender, then set up a short training class for officers! Let these boys replenish my energy, don't just dare to fight.

Yao Wenyuan said

Yao Wenyuan's opinions on army building, Li Yang basically took them unconditionally after reading them, which made everyone feel the unconditional trust of Li Yang when Chen Ang came to the Nirvana Regiment.

Here again, everyone is no longer surprised, and it can only be said that Yao Wenyuan is right for Li Yang's appetite.

Li Yang's prestige in the Pingyang army is too high, no one dares to refute it, and with Li Yang's gatekeeper, even if Yao Wenyuan's army construction process harms the interests of the old man, Li Yang will try to reconcile or compensate in other aspects.

In short, in the midst of Yao Wenyuan's bold moves, the army has carried out extremely rapid reforms, the staff officer system has been rapidly established, and the expansion of the army has also been carried out in an orderly manner.

There are 11,000 veterans in the army, and 10,000 new recruits will be recruited for training.

However, there is a strange state in the army, that is, in the camp of a battalion, except for the platoon commander, there are no officers above the ranks.

Why? They were all ordered to attend the short course for officers at the newly established Military and Political University.

There are as many as 140 people in total, these people are all old people who started with Li Yang, and some of them were even just farmers before the catastrophe, and they have accumulated merit to the position of company commander, but they just have a hot head.

Li Yang also knew that these people were already at the limit when they reached the position of company commander, and if they were promoted again, they would be irresponsible for the lives of soldiers.

Therefore, it is mandatory for all those who are above the rank of lieutenant and do not have a bachelor's degree or above from a military academy to attend the officer short course.

In order to set an example, these 140 people were not divided into classes, the squad leader was concurrently served by Li Yang, and the deputy squad leaders were Zhang Sheng and Hong Jun.

As for the instructors, they were 32 officers who had graduated from regular military academies headed by Yao Wenyuan.

No, on the first day of school, Li Yang came to the gate of the school with the sign of Military and Political University on his back with a marching package on his back.
