Originally, the name of the small town of Clinton was changed to 'Garrison Town', and the name has never changed in the following decades. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, today in the garrison town, the shops on the originally bustling streets are wide open, but those figures in green military uniforms are gone.

Just when the owners of the shops were puzzled, there was a sad mood in the huge Huojia Army American Military Region barracks located on the east side of the garrison town.

Song Zhen slowly sorted out his outfits, folded the clothes one by one, and put them into the large backpack next to him. Before, he would have been able to do it all in three minutes at most, but now he wished he had done it a little slower.

I didn't think it before, but when he received the retirement notice issued by the military department and really wanted to leave, he felt that he was so reluctant to the barracks.

The three-year military career not only made him from a peasant man who couldn't read a single word, but also trained him into a qualified soldier of the Huo family. And it also made him understand that the outside world is so vast from the simple days when he was facing the loess with his back to the sky.

It's a pity that he's leaving today.

Most of the military uniforms, coats, and leather boots that were issued after three years of serving as a soldier have been sent back to their homes. Now Song Zhen doesn't have much luggage here, only a few changes of clothes, two pairs of shoes, some toiletries, and a set of teaching books for the first year of high school.

After putting all these away, Song Zhen got under his pillow. He took out a diamond necklace and three gold rings, which he had captured during the war, in fact, he had some before. However, it has been exchanged for silver dollars and mailed home.

These items were recently seized, and because of the fierce fighting in Yili, they have not been sent by urgent mail.

After packing these valuables, Song Zhen reached out and took off his epaulettes, collar badges and cockades, and then neatly put them back on the bed.

According to the regulations on the management of retired soldiers of the Huo Family Army. After the soldier retires, he can only take a set of unmarked military uniforms with him.

"Alas!" After touching the epaulettes and cockade again, Song Zhen sighed deeply. stood up, looked solemn towards his epaulettes and cockades, and saluted a military salute.

Then reach for your backpack and place it on your back, then pick up the satchel. Turn around and walk out of the barracks. As the squad leader, he had already sent all the soldiers in their squad away within a week, and today he will be the last one to leave.

However, after walking a few steps, he stopped again, took out two small boxes from his satchel, and pinned the bronze medals and Sino-American war medals inside to his chest.

Since its establishment six years ago, Huo Jiajun has also had its own medal system, and there are two kinds of medals in the military: the Golden Sword Medal and the Golden Dragon Medal. All are divided into three levels.

Among them, the Golden Sword Medal is divided into the first-class Golden Sword Medal, which is mainly awarded to cadres at or above the division level. Silver Shield of the 2nd Degree. It is mainly awarded to cadres at the regimental and battalion levels. The third class is the Order of the Bronze Ge, which is mainly awarded to soldiers who have participated in a war without major negligence.

In addition to the Order of the Golden Sword. There is also the Golden Dragon Medal, which is also divided into three levels, namely the Order of the Golden Dragon of the First Class, the Order of the Silver Tiger of the Second Class, and the Order of the Bronze Leopard of the Third Class. The awarding of these three-level medals is not divided into ranks, but mainly based on the merits of soldiers and officers.

After Song Zhen said goodbye to the medal, he picked up his satchel again and strode out of the barracks, although he was retired, he wanted to leave his best side in the barracks.

According to the military order, this time they will return to Nanyang to participate in the military parade of the founding ceremony on October 1, and then disband on the spot, and after three months of family leave, return to the American territory to settle down, at which time they will be allocated according to their personal circumstances.

......

"Alas!"

Watching another group of soldiers singing military songs and walking up the military column heading west, Wu Guangzong sighed deeply.

Although this parting has been going through countless times since this week. But every time I see him, my feelings are still the same.

After all, these are his soldiers!

At this time, Huo Shi, who was standing beside him, did not disturb him, and as a soldier, he understood the feelings in Wu Guangzong's heart at this moment.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Wu Guangzong turn around and walk towards the house, Huo Shi couldn't help but be surprised.

"If you don't look at it, the more I look at it, the more panicked I become!"

Seeing this, Huo Shi smiled helplessly, followed him, and walked into Wu Guangzong's office.

"Okay, let's talk about it! How do you feel about the formation of the American Military Region this time?" After the two sat down, Huo Shi poured Wu Guangzong a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

"What do you think? What else can you think? If you disarm, 80 percent of the army of our American Military Region will be gone!" Wu Guangzong said with a little resentment in his words.

In fact, it is no wonder that according to the provisions of the "Chicago Treaty", the Huo family army shall not be stationed in the American territory of more than 150,000 troops.

Therefore, most of the original more than 60 divisions and more than 1 million troops have been abolished. All twenty-five black servants were dismissed. Six Marine Corps divisions were also separated.

The command structure of the 25 regular divisions and regiments of the Huojia Army is complete, but after it was originally fully staffed, it had three combat regiments, a guard battalion, a logistics baggage battalion, an artillery battalion, a combat engineer battalion, a division headquarters reconnaissance company, and other formations, and an integrated division of 18,640 people, but now there are only 4,800 people left in one division. Two-thirds of the personnel were made redundant. Of course, the only ones in all the 25 divisions that remained intact were artillery, communications troops, and other technical arms.

In addition to the intact command structure at all levels, the eight independent cavalry divisions are under the jurisdiction of three cavalry regiments, a guard cavalry battalion, a pack horse baggage battalion, an artillery battalion, and other units directly under the division headquarters, and an integrated division of nearly 20,000 people, and now there are only more than 10,000 people left in each division.

Of course, the reason why the skeleton of the 33 divisions was left behind, rather than directly dismantling all of them, was also to consider later, if the United States regained its national strength, once it launched an attack on the Mississippi River. Then with the skeleton of these 33 divisions, as long as they are filled with enough soldiers, and there is no need for training, they are 33 units with a certain combat effectiveness.

Before World War II, the Soviet troops used this method, and when the regular troops were drawn to the front, many deputy positions such as deputy division commander, deputy regiment commander, deputy battalion commander, and then added veterans with certain war experience, and the skeleton of such a division came out.

And then the previous reserve soldiers were added, and soon a new integrated division appeared, and compared with the new division, under the leadership of veterans with command experience and combat experience, this kind of new and old division often has not weak combat effectiveness, so Germany miscalculated the war potential of the Soviet Union at that time, and as a result, after eliminating millions of Soviet soldiers, more and more troops emerged, and finally dragged Germany to death.

Not only the Soviet Union, but also during World War I and World War II, the Japanese also used this method, because small Japan has a narrow domestic market and poor ability to resist risks, so sometimes the seventeen standing divisions are also dissatisfied with the formation.

"Okay, don't complain! At present, several army units in the 25 provinces and three municipalities directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Huojia Army are fully manned. Now that the war is no longer to be fought, military spending will naturally have to be reduced, and the troops will have to give way to economic development. This is especially true in the provinces and cities of the Americas!" Huo Shi said.

"Actually, I know what you said, but I can't accept it for a while. Speaking of this, Wu Guangzong showed a wry smile on his face.

"Okay, you're also the new commander of the American Military District, don't look sad all day long! Oh, by the way, I have good news for you here!"

"Good news, what good news, all I have received so far is bad news!" Wu Guangzong said with some resentment.

"Look at you like this, it seems that you don't want to listen?"

Looking at the smile on Huo Shi's face, Wu Guangzong said a little helplessly: "Okay, you know I'm in a bad mood these days, don't tease me!

As good friends who grew up together, the two talk very casually in private.

According to the young master's explanation, this time the Independent First Artillery Division will be assigned to your American theater. Moreover, the personnel will not be cropped. ”

"Really!" As soon as Huo Shi's words fell, Wu Guangzong couldn't help but stand up excitedly in his heart.

As the first independent artillery unit formed by the Huojia Army, although the 1st Independent Artillery Division participated in the Yili War, its command has always been in the hands of the army headquarters and is not subordinate to the American Military Region.

Although in the middle, in order to keep this powerful artillery force, Wu Guangzong sent telegrams to the army headquarters several times, but there was no follow-up. I didn't expect it to happen this time.

"Happy?" Huo Shi said with a smile after pursing his lips.

"Hmm!" Although he was ridiculed by his friends, Wu Guangzong still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and paced in the office again and again.

"Oh, by the way, if the artillery division stays in our American Military District, then the number of our American Military District will not violate the disarmament agreement of the Chicago Treaty!" After walking around a few times and calming down his excitement a little, Wu Guangzong quickly thought of the problem.

"This is your business, and now the artillery division has also given it to you! How to deal with the Americans, you can figure out how to do it yourself!" Because of the implementation of the disarmament agreement, Huo Jiajun and the United States sent officers to each other's troops to supervise each other. So it's not easy to fool the Americans.

"Damn, it's a big deal to put the Independent Artillery Division in Youzhou Province first, and then quietly transfer it back after the matter calms down!" Thinking of this, Wu Guangzong also made up his mind. (To be continued.) )
