Chapter 143, Garbage Town Adaptation
Ruggie Rickoshi received an order to retreat and recuperate.
It's been two days since they were rescued by the Alliance's forces and fought alongside their brothers.
These two days have been also not easy. Those greenskins knew that the six or seven kilometers of the front in the fifth sector was not easy to fight, and turned around to try to break through from other places. And his beast slaughtering group was also under the pressure of the Greenskin Assault in the surrounding direction.
If it weren't for the artillery support of the alliance and the rapid maneuvering of armored vehicles sent by Battalion Commander Perbow, even if they could withstand it, the casualties would have been very large.
But life is not good, it is better than before.
At least, this battle has to be fought. It is true that the brothers suffered heavy casualties, but seeing that the green skins who rushed over on the opposite side also died one by one under artillery fire and bullets, he felt that the sacrifice was not worthless.
It was precisely because of this that he received an order to let his team go back to rest, which was actually a little unpleasant.
In his opinion, no one could fight better than them, except for the armies of those alliances. If the five or six thousand of them retreat in formation, the front may not be able to withstand it.
What happened next, though, shut him up.
At the top, it is still the forces of the alliance.
The number was the contingent of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division, which took over his line of defense.
Although the 3rd Regiment was less than half as large as them, with 2,000 people killed, and there were no armored vehicles, tanks, or anything like that, they brought with them thirty heavy guns.
Okay, you're better.
Moreover, he wanted to fight, but his subordinates were a little mentally overwhelmed.
He could only lead the team to withdraw in a huff.
Before leaving, he went to see Perbov once, mainly to thank him.
Not only a life-saving grace, but also a saving for his team.
If Perbov's troops hadn't arrived in time, he would have died, and the beast slaughtering group, which had been demoralized, would have dispersed directly.
Perbov accepted Rickohi's thanks.
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged information about the current situation of the battle and made some exchanges about the transfer of the beast slaughter group back this time.
"Prepare for the fact that the Governor may be going to co-opt you."
"Co-optation?" Li Kexi frowned, instinctively resisting this matter, "Why do you want to be co-opted?" Now like this...... Isn't it good? We are also fully at the behest of the Governor's command in Junktown. β
"Not only that, but in the future, you will also become a serious alliance army."
"I don't really want that...... There were many agents in the past, even Mr. Swan, who tried to get us to obey orders completely, but we refused. This is not quite in line with the original intention of our regiment. β
Perbov shook his head and said, "It's up to you to decide whether or not to accept the co-optation, but I highly recommend that you accept ......"
Speaking of this, Perbov raised two fingers and said: "I will only tell you two reasons, you think about it yourself:"
"First, in the future, garbage will really not be like in the past, there will be room for adventure groups, and everything will definitely be normalized. You have to think about the future for your brothers below. Are you all going to die here for revenge? Even after the revenge is over, after killing all those green skins, will they all be alive? It is best to accept the reorganization, eat military rations, have allowances, just train well, carry out orders, and don't worry about anything else, you will have a generous pension when you die, and you will be arranged to change jobs if you retire in the future, and you will have all the rest of your life. β
"Second, even if you only talk about the present and only think about how to play green, it is better to accept the reorganization. You're the best adventurer in the greenskins, but if you do run into three or five people, you have to die before you can replace one; After receiving the reorganization, you will be supported by direct weaponry, which will help you to kill the greenskins. β
With that, Pobov put his fingers down and said nothing more.
And Li Koshi, who was originally a little resistant, could not refute these two reasons of Perbof.
β¦β¦
After bidding farewell to Perbov, Li Koshi led his team and retreated to the rear. After walking for about half a day, we arrived at the combined military camp.
It was a newly built rear barracks that now houses nearly 40,000 people.
The current personnel distribution of the 100,000 adventurers in Junk Town is about this: 10,000 people are locked up in a prisoner of war camp in the west side of Junk Town, and they will be pulled down if they don't starve to death, and these are the guys who are going to run away with Nasser and Mark Ferry.
The 40,000 people in the combined barracks, basically the adventurers who had fought on the front line a few days ago and were crushed, were reorganized, distributed ammunition, and rested on the spot after being withdrawn.
50,000 people were in front-line positions, maintaining the front.
After two days of rest for the troops in the combined barracks, the command began to change troops.
It is very difficult to expect these adventurers of uneven quality to fight on the front line with casualties. Rotating troops may be more reliable than filling all of these 100,000 people into the battle line.
Of course, the most important thing to maintain their morale is money.
They are adventurers, mercenaries, and they fight for money. Gu Hang also undoubtedly sent them alliance coins, but he promised that these alliance coins could be spent in garbage towns during the war. He did get a lot of supplies from the garbage town for supplies. In addition, he further promised that if the restructuring is carried out after the war, those who continue to stay in the alliance and become members of the alliance will be able to exchange the alliance coins that are being issued now for work points.
It looks like a big expense, but it's not as big as you think.
Affiliate coins, many of which are blank checks.
What is the use of issuing alliance coins? The adventurer spent it immediately, and it was in the time that Gu Hang pulled out the savings from various places in the garbage town; If you don't spend it, it's a future payment.
If you really want to be disgusting, if you join the alliance system in the future, it's better to say that it will be replaced by work; If you want to go, you want to redeem the alliance coin, and it's not up to you to decide what the price is.
Of course, to a certain extent, Gu Hang would not do this, which was a bit too credibility.
Gu Hang still hopes that these people will be able to stay in the future.
Even if you don't go into the army and become workers, that's a population of 100,000.
Among these people, Gu Hang attaches the most importance to the beast slaughtering group.
After they withdrew to rest, Gu Hang summoned the head of the Beast Slayer Regiment, Luji Li Koxi.
Regarding Gu Hang's proposal for co-optation, Li Kexi finally chose to accept it.
On the way back, he had a good chat with his brothers. From the various captains, mid-level commanders, and lower-level soldiers, he asked many people for their opinions.
They all said different things, but the meaning was the same: they were willing to accept incorporation.
So what else is there to say?
Since the formation of the Beast Slayer Regiment, they have been fighting for half a year now. Constant deaths, constant sacrifices, and difficult living conditions......
Hatred is what sustains them, but there is another point that cannot be ignored. They were originally a group of adventurers, and they didn't know what to do except do this.
Revenge is the driving force, and you can only survive by this, and it is not a greater motivation.
What's so bad about co-opting?
Life can be better, the future is guaranteed, and there is no delay in playing green skins.
As for the so-called preservation of independence...... That was indeed one of the purposes of the Beast Slayer when it was first established, only accepting sponsorship and not orders, but that was so that they could concentrate on playing green skins and avoid being assigned to private work by those agents in Junk Town.
Now, the situation is completely different in Junk Town, and there is no need to hold on to that set of things.
Since the brothers all thought so, and Li Koxi himself was almost persuaded in the previous conversation with Perbow, there was no resistance to accepting the Governor's personal solicitation at this time.
However, he made an additional request at the end.
"I want to keep the name of our 'Beast Slayer' as a separate number. I heard Perbov say that the army of the Union allowed this. β
"Hahaha!" Gu Hang laughed and said, "Of course I can agree to your request, but not now." β
Then, seeing the puzzled look on Perbov's face, Gu Hang also restrained his smile, and said seriously: "If you want to keep the name of the 'Beast Slayer Group' as the number of your troops, then you have to show the corresponding performance." Go kill those green-skinned orcs, enough killing, the title 'Beast Slayer' lives up to its name, and I'll give it to you." β
Li Kexi took a deep breath and looked firm: "Then it's a word." β
β¦β¦
The adventurous group, known as the Beast Slaughter Regiment, completed the reorganization in the following days.
They were equipped with 5,000 G9 individual weapons, and they were given a new designation: the 3rd Independent Regiment.
Gu Hang spent fifty points on them.
After they completed their training and became T5 troops, they also activated the accumulated combat experience on their bodies, and they became infantry with the characteristics of 'slaughtering beasts'.
The reborn 3rd Separate Regiment then returned to the battlefield.
Although, they only brought a lot of individual weapons, there were no regimental artillery, and there were not even many mortars, at best, they gave a lot of bazookas. But at least the G9 rifles were much better equipped than they were supposed to be, and the training they had spent a few days under the nose of the Governor had made them feel that something had changed a lot.
These changes have been directly manifested on the battlefield.
With the support of artillery fire concentrated in the rear, it was not a problem for the independent regiment to withstand a line of defense of more than ten kilometers on its own, and at most with the help of some 'militia regiments'.
Those so-called militia regiments are the original, other adventure groups.
In the past few days, it is not only the 3rd Independent Regiment that has been reorganized. The rest of the troops also took advantage of the time to take turns in the combined military camp and accepted the reorganization.
They also asked their wishes.
Those who wanted to stay as soldiers were reorganized into garrison divisions. Although Gu Hang didn't have enough individual equipment for them for a while, he didn't plan to train them all to the T5 level in one goβthere was not enough equipment, and the combat effectiveness in training was not enough, so it was not in vain.
But the adaptation still has to be adapted, otherwise the command will be too chaotic.
In the end, after looking at the treatment of the Union army, the number of people willing to accept the change reached 70,000 or more.
You can see by comparison, the Union soldiers, even if they only start as privates, are treated better than they used to pick up garbage.
And these 70,000 people, except for the beast slaughtering regiment, which was reorganized into an independent regiment of 6,000 people, the other 63,000 people were reorganized into six garrison divisions, and they got the numbers from 4 to 9.
There has been no change in weapons and equipment, except for the promise of treatment and a change in the command level.
The commanders at the division and regimental levels, some officers were transferred from the second division and the Perbov battalion to serve as commanders, or the leaders of some large adventurous regiments, or respected adventurers.
In addition, there is no way to decentralize the political commissar to the company, and the scale of the reorganization is too large, so at present it can only be done by stuffing the political commissar into the division and regiment levels, so that they can develop the organization of soldiers' commissars loyal to the empire and the governor from within, and train instructors at the company and battalion levels.
There are more than 20,000 other people who are unwilling to become soldiers in the future, but prefer to become ordinary civilians, or to leave the alliance system, Gu Hang did not let them go, but temporarily hired them to fight as privates.
And they were organized into ten militia regiments, no number, only serial number, and the internal structure and command level were also according to the structure of each adventure group.
When the garrison division returns to the front line in rotation to fight, it will also be assigned some main tasks, and those militia regiments will basically do some hard work, build fortifications, and so on.
Send people away as cannon fodder, there is no need, Gu Hang doesn't do this kind of thing.
Not to that extent.
Six garrison divisions have been reorganized, and if all of them have completed the configuration of equipment and the training of soldiers, then Gu Hang will have 9 divisions and brigade-level units, and the military strength will basically be enough.
With an army size of nearly 100,000 people, the key is relatively high-standard equipment allocation, and subsequent military expansion should not be too worried about the problem of insufficient troops.
After all, in addition to fighting, the army also needs to be stationed in place. In the areas that have just been recovered, whether they want to survive or move populations, they need to retain troops to suppress them in order to implement the policy.
Of course, that's the next usage. At the moment, the battle against the green-skinned orcs is the first priority.
Gu Hang plans to squat here for two months and fight a defensive battle for two months.
In two months' time, the reorganization of the nine divisions and brigade-level units, the training work that consumes the gift points, and the production and distribution of all light and heavy equipment should be completed.
When the time comes, it will be the time of the counteroffensive.
