Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Next, Ma Xicheng will announce the appointment list of officers of the Ninth Brigade, and everyone will concentrate:

"Yang Wangui is hereby appointed chief of staff of the ninth brigade acting colonel; Xu Yuanquan is the acting deputy brigade commander of the ninth brigade and the colonel and battalion commander of the first infantry battalion; Song Xianfu is the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the second infantry battalion of the ninth brigade; Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion of the Ninth Brigade Infantry, appointed by: Wang (Wang Zhenyu), commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army, on January [-], the first year of the Republic of China."

"Maxi is hereby appointed as the major director of the Military Supplies Department of the Ninth Brigade, and Zhao Dongsheng is the major captain of the guards directly under the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Brigade..." After half a month of short training for the teaching team, except for Zhao Dongsheng who was promoted to a major and served as a guard at the brigade headquarters Nine of the remaining 12 went down to the companies as company commanders.Among them, Tao Zhiyue, Li Hongkui, and Zhou Zhengming were captains and company commanders, respectively serving as the commanders of the first company, the fourth company, and the seventh company; Chen Yuxin was the commander of the second company, Deng Kunru was the commander of the third company, and Dai Yue was the commander of the fifth company. Company commanders, Tian Shouhai as the commander of the sixth company, Mao Zedong as the commander of the eighth company, and Liu Mingkai as the commander of the ninth company were awarded the rank of lieutenant.Song Haomin, Tang Hairong, and Zhang Xuguang were awarded the rank of lieutenant and remained as the squad leader of the teaching team.

The establishment of each battalion was also basically disrupted. Wang Zhenyu divided all five teams into nine companies according to the principle of "different squads in the same clan and different platoons in the same village", and each company should not exceed 20% of the same team.The original platoon leaders were all promoted to second lieutenants, deputy company commanders or brigade staff as combat staff officers, and squad leaders were promoted to platoon leaders. First transferred to the teaching team for [-] days of training, Wang Zhenyu's plan is to wait for the nine company commanders he appointed to fully grasp the troops and then release them back. As compensation, the rank will be promoted to lieutenant colonel at that time.

Wang Zhenyu also asked Ma Xicheng to publicly announce the issue of pensions for the officers and soldiers of the brigade and the promotion reward and punishment system: "From now on, the officers and soldiers of the brigade will be divided into eight ranks: brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, private first class, and private. The treatment is as follows: a monthly salary of 180 yuan for a brigade officer, 120 yuan for the disabled; a monthly salary of 80 yuan for a regimental official, 1000 yuan; Five hundred yuan; a monthly salary of 50 yuan for a platoon leader, 30 yuan for a pension; 20 yuan for a squad leader, and 20 yuan for a pension; all deputies above are treated as 80% of the same level as a principal. Yuan. First-class soldiers are veterans who have served for one year, with a monthly salary of 15 yuan and a pension of 150 yuan."

The officers and soldiers were very excited after hearing this. Compared with other troops, this treatment is very generous. You must know that before the average soldier received a monthly salary of five yuan at most, now recruits are paid eight yuan. What is more reassuring is the pension system. It is twice the salary, and now everyone has nothing to worry about when they start a war.Yang Wangui and other officers frowned, the treatment is too generous, although no one is unwilling to raise the salary, but if the boss can't pay the money, wouldn't it be joyful.

"Excellent soldiers will be awarded the rank of corporal and sergeant, serve as deputy squad leader, and be qualified for the selection of the teaching team. Those who pass the selection will enter the teaching team and be awarded the rank of second lieutenant of the army. After the training, the brigade staff will award the rank of lieutenant of the army and make other arrangements. The treatment of trainees in the teaching team is handled in accordance with the deputies at the company level. All company commanders and military officers above the company are personally appointed by the brigade commander. The transfer of combat units above the platoon must be approved by the chief of staff and notified to the brigade commander. Warrant. The order of the brigade headquarters must be executed unconditionally. Those who violate the military order will be expelled in the slightest, and executed on the spot in severe cases. Those who strictly execute the order will be awarded first-class merit, second-class merit, and third-class merit according to the content of the order. The reward standard will be announced separately .In addition, regarding the punishment standard for violating military laws..."

On the 100th day of the first month of the Republic of China, Wang Zhenyu promoted and appointed more than [-] officers in one go, and issued four orders of treatment, pension, promotion, reward and punishment.

At this time, Wang Zhenyu had completely grasped the armed force of the Ninth Brigade in his own hands through the system, instead of relying on the victory of the Battle of Hankou to maintain it as before.In other words, even if the top has twelve gold medals, he wants to take away the military power. The Ninth Brigade is surnamed Wang.

According to the latest order, the brigade temporarily set up three battalions and nine companies. Everyone in the brigade is happy, whether it is a promotion or a salary increase. Naturally, everyone is elated and fighting!

Considering that the expansion at the current stage is just for show and no new soldiers have been added, so Wang Zhenyu didn't add too many vulgar things. His current thoughts are all spent on personnel adjustments.

As a result, as soon as the three battalion commanders took office, they found that most of the soldiers under their hands belonged to others, while most of the soldiers they brought were sent out.How could it be like this? It's not easy to bring someone you don't know well, but after complaining to Wang Zhenyu several times to no avail, the battalion commanders didn't know what to say anymore.

For this reason, Wang Zhenyu was secretly delighted, and I will reorganize your organizational system in two or three times. At that time, I will directly hold the right to appoint and dismiss officers above the company level. I will see who can pull the team in my team.

Ma Xicheng was the biggest beneficiary of this change. He changed from a small adjutant who was not even an officer to a major and director of the Quartermaster Department. You must know that there are no more than five school officers in the Ninth Brigade.As for why Ma Xicheng was chosen, it was entirely because the position of quartermaster was very important in Wang Zhenyu's eyes. After much deliberation, it would be safer for his cousin to go.As for the manpower of the military supply department, the original chief of staff and the cooking shed made up for it. This time the officers were sealed off, and even Zhou Chun, the big living treasure of the cooking team, was covered.He became a second lieutenant officer, and his unit relationship was placed under the name of the Military Supplies Department, but his job remained the same, and he was still in charge.

The company commanders of the nine companies were also replaced by apprentices from the teaching team. Although the training time was not long, at least according to the rules, these people were all students of Wang Zhenyu. Since they were all labeled as Wang Zhenyu, it was easy to use People feel more at ease.

After such ups and downs, Wang Zhenyu truly took this army firmly into his own hands.

The famous Tiger Brigade also entered the historical stage of the Republic of China from this time.

There are so many things involved in the expansion, it is difficult for Wang Zhenyu to be comprehensive and comprehensive at the moment, and the implementation of many details still needs to be perfected step by step, but one of the things he did before Vito Ye Zuwen has already been settled. . .

"General Wang, this is the hanging cannon and the hand-throwing bomb you said." Ye Zuwen, who was pointing at the boxes of weapons, is now very polite to Wang Zhenyu, always referring to the general before the general and the latter.

Wang Zhenyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the several boxes that had been opened, and he knew right away with just a quick glance. Inside were the mortars and wooden-handled grenades that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Since he won the expansion order, Wang Zhenyu, who is not short of money, began to worry about arms.War in this era is not about playing justice and fighting with knives and guns. In the past ten years, the military of the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes. From now on, only the cannon is king.The reason why Japan was able to defeat the squadron was not due to the bullshit bushido spirit of fooling people, but the excuse used by the Chinese to fool themselves.What Little Japan relies on is nothing more than more fierce and fierce firepower than China.Otherwise, why did the invincible bushido spirit become useless when we encountered the more fierce and fierce American imperialism?

Weapons are the key factor in the outcome of a war, and this view truly conforms to the materialist dialectics.

But people always have to face the reality. In this era, even if Wang Zhenyu has money, he may not be able to get heavy artillery.Even if you get it by chance, no one will make it.

What is even more tragic is that Wang Zhenyu has no land and no military factory. Even if all difficulties are overcome, it will not be of much use to hire a foreign instructor to teach the grandchildren under him. The expensive shells alone doomed Wang Zhenyu's cannon dream. It can only be sexually obsessed quietly in the dead of night.

But infantry fighting without artillery support, relying solely on spiritual power to defeat an enemy who is in an absolute numerical advantage, is completely anti-human existence.Unless the other party is a pig, and my side happens to be a **** steel warrior who is suitable to be a butcher.

Because of future generations, Wang Zhenyu is somewhat allergic to sex.Therefore, strengthening the firepower of the headquarters is the only way to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the headquarters in the current period.

Don't underestimate the mortar and wooden handle grenade in front of you. These two gadgets first appeared in Lushun, China during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905.At that time, Japan used superior forces to attack Lushun, which was guarded by the Russians. If they could not attack, they dug trenches and advanced. As a result, this tactic was blocked by the Russians with the two weapons in front of them.The invincible Imperial Japanese Army suffered 10,000+ casualties, and it took a lot of time and materials to capture Lushun.Although Japan won the war in the end, apart from gaining China's benefits from the Russians (the Qing government is so cute), there was no sign of war compensation.Subsequently, Japan owed a huge amount of loans to the United Kingdom, which was a tragic victory that outweighed the gains.To come up with such a disastrous ending, Nogi Xidian, who is known as the god of war, made a major contribution. He can be regarded as a true old friend of the Chinese people.It is precisely because he does not know how to play flexibly and blindly emphasizes the spirit of the samurai that the whole of Japan has paid a huge sacrifice for this war.The dividends of the war were far from enough to make up for the losses of the war. Not to mention the large number of orphans and widows. The huge foreign debts alone almost caused Japan to fight three Sino-Japanese Wars for nothing.As a result, Japan's national strength turned from prosperity to decline, and the pace of aggression against China naturally had to be slowed down.

From a practical point of view, the significance of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 is estimated to be the same as Beijing's hosting of the Olympic Games. The significance of the spiritual level is greater than the significance of the practical level.As for Jiang Baili, the so-called military god, based on an epic point of view drawn from this incident, the most unworthy thing for us to learn from Japan is their army, and we will not talk about it here. (From this point of view, both Russia and Japan were the winners of this war, and the only loser was China, which did not participate in the war. The princes of the Qing Dynasty were really first-class in governing the country.)
