If you want to go, you have to be neatly together.

A few days later, the Ministry of War issued an appointment.

Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu were both promoted to aid Liao generals, and the soldiers and horses of the department were expanded from the guerrilla battalion to the reinforcement battalion.

It was requested that soldiers and horses be gathered in Pinggu, that ordnance and winter clothing and supplies be allocated, and that two months be given for assembly and training.

Zhou Dunji also reported to the Ministry of Defense, and promoted Wang Hongyu to the official general, with 500 people under his command.

Meng Biao, who stayed in the capital, was promoted to acting general, leaving 30 people to specialize in intelligence and watch business.

Zhou Dunji has regained his tranquility, as experienced and steady as before, and took Wang Hongyu to familiarize himself with the situation in the army:

"There are also some veterans on the way, and it is estimated that they will be there soon. Among them were the commanders of several Yugoslav armies and another lieutenant. ”

"The boss and another lieutenant?"

"That's right, when you went to Beijing to deal with the luxury family and the self-striking bell, the military department had already made new adjustments. General Qi Jin was the temporary commander and was responsible for the joint training of several troops and horses, but when he went north, he was one of the two deputy commanders.

The commander is General Chen Ce, and the deputy commander is General Tong Zhonghua, who has granted you martial arts. ”

A few days later, the last veterans of the northbound group arrived.

The 68-year-old Chen Ce, who had followed Chen Phosphorus and Yu Jiajun, fought the Japanese in Korea, defeated Shimazu Yoshihiro in the Battle of Luliang, and now arrives with more than 1,000 Guangdong soldiers and "retired" veterans of the Yu Jiajun.

Tong Zhonghua, born in Nanjing Wuju, Zunyi general, has been 40 years old.

Back then, he awarded Wang Hongyu a martial arts promotion, and after the award, he proposed a martial arts competition with Wang Hongyu, and the two fought almost inseparably.

The more than 1,000 Zunyi soldiers he brought were veterans. Among them, there are many of them who quelled Yang Yinglong's rebellion 20 years ago, and now their teeth are leaking, but as a hundred battle battalion soldiers, they are also much stronger than the extremely poor old peasant guards.

At this point, the southern army going north was basically assembled.

There are more than 5,000 soldiers in Sichuan, Guangdong and Zunyi, and the generals are veterans and criminals, and most of the soldiers are veterans.

There are more than 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers, the generals are veterans, 3 are very old veterans, and 7 are very young recruits.

Shizhu and Youyang are much better, and more than 6,000 soldiers and horses are mainly young and middle-aged.

In fact, the use of Tusi soldiers has been a bit of a last resort, such powerful and ambitious Tusi as luxury and An must not be used, Shizhu and Youyang are powerful but loyal, they can only be transferred, and only they are in the prime of life.

The rest of the prime-aged main forces of Xuanda are the last reserve forces that cannot be moved, and half of the prime-aged main forces in the three northwestern sides have already arrived in Liaodong, and then they are all recruits who have not been on the battlefield.

There is also the main force of the battalion in Liao Town, Jizhen, and if you have something to find them, you have to burn paper. The tens of thousands of people who are still left are either veterans who have been transferred to the wind, or newcomers who have just been recruited from refugees and health centers.

The main force of the battalion soldiers of the Jiubian plus Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers is basically the same, and the Tusi soldiers who are loyal and good at fighting have also arrived, and then there are the salt transport soldiers, the seedling soldiers, the pre-Japanese soldiers, and the Beijing camp who are really not good at fighting.

There are a lot of people in Jingying, and the equipment is good, but they just can't help it.

Huang Kezhang, who is currently the secretary of the Xingbu and used to be the secretary of the military department, is a capable minister who knows firearms and soldiers and horses, and has been training the Beijing camp for several years. In the future, Xu Guangqi also specialized in training the Beijing camp, and there were capable people such as military generals and Donglin Dang to train......

As a result, the Beijing camp is still the same Beijing camp, and the uncle soldier is still the master soldier.

It was not until the middle and late stages of Chongzhen that the elite of the border army was replaced, and there was the final bloody battle between Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong.

Wang Hongyu thought about it, the strength of the Southern Army and the elite of the Nine Sides is still very good, and the seeds of this field army can radiate all their energy in their own hands.

After preliminarily rectifying the affairs of the 500 soldiers and horses, Zhou Dunji took himself to meet the old general Chen Ce.

Entering the main general's camp, I saw that the old general Chen Ce was practicing the formation in front of the sand table.

At a glance, I only felt that Chen Ce had dark skin, a mediocre height and even a little thin, a fair beard and long eyebrows, and if he didn't wear armor, he probably looked more like a country old man.

It doesn't seem that he is a warrior-type fierce general, can he withstand the bitter cold land of Liaodong?

In this era, there is no heating, and there is no large amount of affordable Northeast cuisine, and this ordinary body has to suffer a lot when it goes to Liaodong.

"The last general will wait to meet General Chen!" Zhou Dunji pulled Wang Hongyu, and the two met Chen Ce together.

"Excuse me! Come here, come with me and see the formation on the sand table. ”

I saw that on the sand table, the clay figures marked with Zhejiang soldiers holding firearms were in the center, and on both sides were Sichuan soldiers and Tusi soldiers who were excellent in close combat and long-range shooting.

The soldiers and horses are arranged in this way, and the formation can be arranged into a goose-shaped formation with two wings protruding, or the two wings can be retracted, so that the firearms and chariots can rush forward and face the enemy on three sides, and give full play to the maximum firepower effect.

"In the past month, the results of the joint training of your Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers and Tusi soldiers have achieved initial results. Then where do you think my Guangdong soldiers and old Yu Jiajun should be supplemented? ”

Zhou Dunji stared at the sand table and pondered slightly, he was not half nervous in front of his superiors, and directly pointed to the Zhejiang Soldiers of the Chinese Army and said: "It should be in the middle, the firepower should be concentrated, and it can also provide close combat cover for the recruits."

"Hmm...... is worthy of being the best lieutenant general at commanding by Liu Ling's side, this choice is very stable, making up for the weaknesses in the formation, and he can almost be undefeated. Chen Ce said words of praise, but his face was not very satisfied.

"What do you think?" Chen Ce suddenly looked at Wang Hongyu, his deep gaze carrying a meaningful meaning.

"Look at offense or defense...... If it's defense, Zhou Shen's arrangement is the most suitable, if it's offense......"

Chen Ce and Zhou Dunji both stared at him to see what he had to say.

"Attack, to form a superior surface, it is not appropriate to share the forces evenly, General Chen Lao can be on one wing and drive the flank to attack." This answer is said to be the final answer, and there is no better choice.

"On which wing?" Chen Ce then asked the next question.

It's not that simple, not only to give advice, but also to give specific and actionable answers.

Take a light breath and say the truest thoughts: "The wing where the stone pillar white pole soldier is located!"

It was the strongest of all armies in melee combat, and the commander should be with them and kill the enemy directly on the opposite side. ”

Chen Ce and Zhou Dunji glanced at each other silently, then looked at Wang Hongyu without speaking.

After arranging the troops and horses on the sand table as he said, and after engaging the enemy head-on, the powerful left flank smashed the enemy's right flank with amazing melee force, and then kept the morale of the strong and shouted and charged to the rear of the enemy flank in the center.

Volley of frontal firearms, flank and rear melee charges, shattering the enemy's mid-lane......

"From tomorrow, we will practice according to this formation, and we will practice offense for a month!"

Chen Ce's calloused palm slapped on the desk and loudly approved of the plan.

Coach Chen Ce is looking forward to Wang Hongyu's training results.
