Chapter 606 It's a joke, the brigade commander doesn't have as many soldiers as the regimental commander!
"Sancai, the task for you to form the 19th Army this time is not easy. Not only do you have to complete the task of formation, but you also have to take on the task of guarding and clearing out the scattered enemy troops. In other words, after you build a regiment, you have to use a regiment.
, when all your troops are pushed to the battlefield, the formation task will be completed. This mode of training while fighting is used for the first time. There is no ready-made model, so you can only rely on yourself to explore!" Cao Ruohai commanded in Luoyang.
The Ministry called Wang Sancai, who was ordered to form the new 19th Main Battle Army, and told him how to do it.
Because of the tense war, the newly formed combat troops adopted unprecedented methods and were put into use as soon as possible after training.
Except for some company and platoon commanders, all the new military officers were promoted from the ranks of officers who had outstanding performance during the Western Expedition.
As for squad leaders, a brigade with the most outstanding performance was transferred to serve as the skeleton. The men and horses of this brigade will be the backbone and basic soldiers of the 19th Army. In addition, the soldiers and horses of the entire army are all
Recruits!
In the entire army, except for the officers, only one brigade of men and horses can be used. Wang Sancai is deeply troubled by this task!
"Commander, can you send me another security brigade to supplement the army? It is too difficult to build an army out of thin air with only a brigade of more than 3,000 people!"
"Sancai! It's not that I won't transfer people to you! The reality is that the reality doesn't allow it! Now our military strength is at its most tense, and every brigade has a use. This time, for the two newly formed armies, the Military Command Hall wants to
We have tried various methods to free up two brigades with outstanding combat capabilities. Apart from these two brigades, let alone a brigade, even a regiment will take a lot of effort."
"Why are we so nervous? When our New Army only had two brigades, the personnel were not this nervous!" Wang Sancai is an old man in the New Army. He was there when the New Army was first established and has been working there for nearly ten years.
I finally became the commander of the army. I thought it would be a very prestigious thing, but I didn't expect that when I first became the commander of the army, I was almost like a polished commander!
"At that time, the New Army was mainly responsible for fighting the big war. Now so many places are on the same plate. It has to confront the Western Army, Jianlu, Beilu and the gang of thieves in the south. It also has to pacify local areas, suppress chaos and suppress bandits. A
There is a hole in the carrot. How can there be extra people available? Just be patient for a while. After a month or two, you can free up some people, and I will find a way to solve a security brigade for you." In a month or two?
Will I still need you to solve the problem in a month or two? After hearing Cao Ruohai's answer, Wang San was filled with curses!
It seems that it is impossible to directly obtain ready-made troops and horses, so we can only think of other ways.
"Why don't you do this? Whoever surrenders from the Central Plains, give me five or six thousand men first! In any case, they can be considered strong men. I will rely on them to prop up my frame first."
"Use surrender troops to prop up the show? That's okay! I'll sign the warrant, and you can take the people to several surrender troops to select people!" This happened one after another. A few days ago, Wang Sancai and others were still talking about expanding the surrender troops to
The army looks down upon them, and now that they are really short of men, having available troops is a dream come true!
After getting Cao Ruohai's order, Wang Sancai hurried to the temporary military headquarters, summoned the main generals, and set out to rob people!
"Except for the officers who stayed behind, everyone in the military headquarters has been sent to the surrendered barracks on the edge of Luoyang City! Remember, as long as they are suitable soldiers, no matter how many, they will all be recruited into our army. Recruiting soldiers from the surrendered soldiers, only two
There are two principles. Firstly, the soldiers must be used together and the old, weak, sick and disabled cannot be recruited. Secondly, the more the better! We have to recruit nearly 30,000 soldiers. The sooner we recruit all the soldiers, the faster we can produce combat effectiveness!" Wang Sancai said in front of his subordinates.
In front of the officer, he stated the principle of robbing people without any scruples.
If you can't wipe your face with this kind of thing, you will only suffer a loss. Hou Zeng'an performed outstandingly on the Shanxi battlefield and had the right qualifications. This time, he was promoted from the position of deputy brigade commander to brigade commander, and was transferred to the 19th
The 364th Brigade of the 89th Division of the Army is appointed as the chief officer!
When Army Commander Wang Sancai held an emergency meeting to arrange a plan to steal people, he had not yet reacted! In a confused state, he led the division commander to the surrender camp. When he saw the surrender soldiers, he still looked down on the state of these people.
, I feel that if my subordinates use this kind of soldiers, they will simply overwhelm themselves.
Precisely because he looked down on these soldiers, when he was recruiting people that day, he didn't recruit many. He picked out a hundred or so people and brought them to the military camp.
In the evening, when he was arranging the surrender troops brought by himself and his subordinate regimental commanders, a messenger from the military headquarters came over and said that another emergency meeting was to be held.
Arriving at the venue, Hou Zeng'an obviously felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He was about to ask his colleagues what happened when the adjutant of Army Commander Wang Sancai informed everyone to be silent while the military commander wanted to speak.
"Everyone, the situation has changed. Commander Cao just sent an urgent order. Our recruitment to the surrender barracks has been urgently stopped!" Emergency stop?
We have just been recruiting people for a day, why did it suddenly stop! What are the generals above thinking?
When Hou Zengan and others heard this, they started to chatter!
"Be quiet first. The main reason is that the other newly-built army officers heard that we were going to the surrender barracks first to recruit people, and they got into trouble. They all went to the headquarters to protest! The commander had no choice but to ask us to stop first. We will recruit surrender soldiers later.
, the headquarters will arrange for people to be eliminated uniformly, and then distributed to the newly formed armies in proportion! There is no way, we are short of people, and other armies are also short of people! Fortunately, we took action for a day first, and we managed to grab some people!
"After hearing this, Hou Zeng'an was speechless. If he had known that he only had one day to rob people, he would have recruited more people no matter what.
Today, the entire brigade's officers only robbed more than 400 people, and they couldn't even build up a regiment. It would take at least ten days for some of the commander's people to come over, right?
Those who have been allocated may not be as reliable as those who robbed today!
"Everyone, let's start training based on what we have recruited today! As many people as we have recruited, we will organize them into groups. When organizing, we will give priority to ensuring that the class teams are organized! We will form as many classes as we can.
Other formations should set up the airs first. Even if there is only one squad in a platoon, the airs must be put up!" It was really funny. After listening to Wang Sancai's arrangement, Hou Zeng'an went back and reorganized overnight, and then found that with the existing troops and horses,
His brigade became a brigade with only one regiment, and each platoon in the regiment only had one squad!
After working hard for so many years, I finally became a brigade commander. In the blink of an eye, as a brigade commander, I didn’t lead as many soldiers as when I was a squad leader!
Isn’t it true that the more we get around, the more we go back? I don’t know when all the additional troops and horses from the military command hall and the headquarters will be in place?
Hou Zeng'an felt that if this situation lasted longer, he would be a joke to the entire army!
