"Dissatisfied with the disciplinary regulations?"

After reading those documents, Xia Lin originally thought that the problem was in the training of grassroots officers in the new army, and he only planned to sweep away some garbage, and at the same time set up a military academy in the new army to ensure the quality of officers, but when he heard Ley say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Aren't we being paid in full? Or is it because I didn't pay for the equipment or food I set? Otherwise, why should they be dissatisfied with the disciplinary regulations?"

"Naturally, we arranged all of this according to the rules you set, but ......

"Nothing but that."

Xia Lin stretched out his hand to interrupt Ley's words, and continued:

"Everything in the New Army is based on strict discipline, and I thought that after the previous battle, the veterans of the New Army should understand the importance of some discipline to a greater or lesser extent, but now it seems that everyone still does not understand the regulations I have formulated."

"In that case, then it's better for those people not to stay in the new army and affect our army building, Division Commander Ley, next I will organize the soldiers' committee members to set up a military discipline department to help some unqualified soldiers and officers complete their retirement, I hope you don't interfere too much in this matter."

Today is the deadline for the 6th and 10th new army to be dispatched, and I will return you a new army that meets the requirements, and you don't want to take such a rabble to exterminate the rebels, right?"

Xia Lin was really disappointed with the performance of these New Army soldiers, but he also knew that this was an inevitable problem that would be encountered in the Great Expansion Army, and even the Soldiers' Committee had no way to guarantee the grassroots impact on the New Army, not to mention the veterans who were quickly promoted from the ordinary soldier level to non-commissioned officers and even mid-level officers.

It's just that Xia Lin will not go to the trouble of correcting them in person like Ley, and after the establishment of the next Military Discipline Department, Xia Lin is ready to use the soldiers' committee members as brooms to sweep away all discordant voices in the new army and complete the rectification of the new army as soon as possible.

Most of the soldiers and officers who were swept down will be classified as auxiliary arms by Xia Lin for urgent engineering training, and the more serious circumstances are naturally expelled from the new army like the previous squad leader of the 1223 class, Lauren Carter, and at the same time included in the blacklist of related industries of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

"The affairs of the training of the new army are originally within the scope of my responsibility, and then Division Commander Ley might as well focus on more important things, speaking of which, the new army is about to attack, Division Commander Ley, has the new battle plan been formulated?"

After finalizing this matter, Xia Lin was concerned about the specific plan of the new army's extermination operation, and he did not study much about the specific battle plan, but for some technical and tactical matters, he thought that he could still provide some help.

"It's almost formulated, does Deputy Division Commander Xia Lin need to take a look?"

Seeing this, Lai could only helplessly follow Xia Lin's words. Although he is the nominal division commander of the New Army, Xia Lin is only a deputy division commander, but Xia Lin, the deputy division commander, is in charge of the key positions of the New Army's logistics, training, and pensions.

"This is natural, I am also the deputy division commander of the new army!"

"Forget it, then you come with me!"

Seeing that Xia Lin was indeed interested in this battle plan, Ley took Xia Lin to his office in the Fourth Military Camp, and asked the orderly to find a huge map of the Middle Realm and nail it to the blackboard to explain to Xia Lin:

"Originally, we were scheduled to complete the training of the New Army in three weeks and set out to destroy the rebels, but because the training level of the New Army did not meet the requirements, we delayed it by one week, so the previous battle plan was also scrapped.

According to the information sent back by the sentinels we sent, the number of rebels led by Esther Bivis is now 12,000, but the main force of them is still the original regular army of more than 4,500 men, the main strength of this main army is two cavalry regiments and three infantry regiments, and the rest are peasant soldiers recruited from the surrounding areas.

By the time of the day, they had marched to more than 300 lands from Hurgana

In four or five days, there will be traces of rebel cavalry on the plains near Hurgana.

We originally planned to advance to Mount Gallon near the city of Amaló to block and destroy the rebels, but now, we have moved our battle to the forest area of Earl Arnold, and decided to take advantage of the forest and river in Count Arnold's county to reduce cavalry and set up positions to snipe the rebels."

"The forests and rivers in the county of Arnold? Do you mean the Fefa Forest and this tributary of the Dak River?"

Xia Lin carefully looked at the intricate pins and chess pieces on this rough but detailed map of the Middle Realm, and pointed to a forest and river one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the imperial capital.

"Yes, that's right, these are the locations where I plan to build positions and defensive lines."

Rey's hand moved to a narrow strip of land on the west side of the county of Arnold, explaining.

"This must be a river valley plain, right? Building positions here, will 6,000 people really be able to withstand the onslaught of the rebels? Division Commander Ley, I want to inform you, when the review is over, the New Army will definitely lose some men!"

Xia Lin looked at the narrow strip of land on the map and frowned and said, this location does seem to be a dangerous place on the map, but if it is enlarged according to the scale, then it is a large plain with a width of more than eight kilometers and a length of more than fifteen kilometers, which is just a slight geographical advantage compared to other plains.

For an army like the New Army, which uses rifles as a combat weapon, there is no problem in defending a defensive line three to five kilometers wide with a regiment after it is deployed, but if the position is really arranged according to such regulations, Xia Lin can be sure that with the strength of the New Army, it will not be able to defend such a front.

"We have no other choice, from the Barony of Traucer to the Earldom of Arnold, within the range of more than thirty kilometers that we can reach in the predetermined time, only the valley plain formed by the Fefa Forest and the Dak River has a slight geographical advantage, which can limit the mobility of cavalry."

Saying this, Ley also sighed, looking a little helpless.

"Is that so......

Xia Lin shifted his gaze to the left, looking at the Gallen Mountain, which was originally scheduled to be one hundred and fifty kilometers away from Urgana, compared to the defense line of the Fefa Forest-Dak River tributary, this mountain range in the middle of the border could only pass through two narrow passes, and the rest of the mountain range was dense forest, which was very easy to defend.

If the new army could arrive here and establish positions as originally planned, even if they could not destroy the rebels, the rebels would not be able to break through to the vast plains and drive straight towards Hurgana.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Lin's eyes flickered and he thought of a possibility, and asked Ley with some hesitation:

"Commander Ley, if we have a convenient means of carriage-like transportation that can take some of our soldiers to Mount Gallen before the rebels arrive, can you hold the two passes and wait for the support of the follow-up troops?"
