Shaanxi was under the control of the Qing court, so if Western Sichuan wanted to transport weapons and equipment and dispatch personnel to Qinghai and Gansu provinces, they had to cross the plateau, and transportation was severely restricted. Fortunately, Western Sichuan has been
They are all preparing for war. There are a lot of weapons and equipment in stock, enough to equip an army of 200,000. In addition, the arsenals in Qijiang and Chengdu are now producing weapons and equipment at full capacity, which can fully meet the needs of the troops.
need.
On April 26, Cai Yun, deputy chief of staff of the Western Sichuan Army, presided over the reorganization of the Ma Jiajun in Hezhou. Wang Yuze participated in the entire process as a young marshal and expressed his suggestions, setting the tone for this reorganization.
The senior generals of the Western Sichuan Army in Qinghai and Gansu also participated in this meeting, which will be directly related to their vital interests.
The Western Sichuan Army successfully defeated the Ma Jiajun this time and captured the two provinces of Gansu and Qinghai. Among the 100,000 Ma Jiajun, except for some who died in battle, more than 50,000 Ma Jiajun were captured. This did not include the three brigades that had been reorganized in advance.
The Western Sichuan Army will once again select three brigades from the prisoners. Of course, the strength and equipment of each brigade will be completely equivalent to the brigade-level troops of the Western Sichuan Army.
At the meeting, Cai Yun announced an order to inspect the ambassador's office. In addition to the previously newly built 11th, 12th and 13th brigades, the Western Sichuan Army will establish the 14th, 15th and 13th brigades.
The 16th Brigade. Among them, the commander of the 11th Brigade is Ma Qi, the deputy brigade commander is Zhang Shusen, and the chief of staff is Gong Zhiqiang. Zhang Shusen and Gong Zhiqiang were the former battalion commander and deputy battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 10th Brigade.
After the two of them are promoted, the commander of the 2nd Battalion will be Shi Deyou. The commander of the 12th Brigade will be Ma Fulu, the deputy brigade commander will be Xu Chuan, and the chief of staff will be Duan Yongzheng. Xu Chuan and Duan Yongzheng were previously the 6th Battalion of the 10th Brigade.
The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander. The brigade commander of the 13th Brigade is Ma Zhengyuan, the deputy brigade commander is Cen Zhiyong, and the chief of staff is Yang Kangshun, who are also officers of the previous 10th Brigade. The brigade commander of the 14th Brigade is Ma
Guoliang, the deputy brigade commander is Chen Yuanming, and the chief of staff is Liu Junxian. Chen Yuanming and Liu Junxian are former officers of the Fourth Brigade. The brigade commander of the 15th Brigade is Ma Yuliang, the deputy brigade commander is Zou Xuefeng, and the chief of staff is Peng Anguo. Zou Xuefeng and Peng
Anguo was also a former officer of the Fourth Brigade. The commander of the 16th Brigade was Ding Zhongming, a former surrendered general of the Qingma Army. The deputy brigade commander was Fan Zimo, and the chief of staff was Yu Jianming. Fan Zimo and Yu Jianming were also both
Officer of the 4th Brigade.
This reorganization will not only change the brigade-level commander, but will also disrupt the organization. The fourth brigade, the tenth brigade and the six new brigades will all be disrupted and personnel will be randomly assigned. This can effectively eliminate factions
The disadvantage is that it will cause the army to lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time. However, even if the disadvantage is serious, in order to ensure that warlord separatist forces will no longer arise, it is still very necessary to clearly understand the old style atmosphere of the Ma Jiajun in the newly formed army.
of.
In addition, the weapons, equipment, artillery and other technical arms that each brigade lacks will also wait for Chengdu to supplement them. Chengdu will recruit from retired soldiers, and some will supplement these newly established units. However, due to the impact of transportation, if you want to
It will probably take two months to complete the replenishment. Fortunately, the troops need a lot of time to reorganize, so they can train while waiting for weapons and equipment.
The reorganization at the brigade level is only the first step. Subsequently, two cavalry corps will be established based on these eight cavalry brigades. This is also the first corps-level unit of the Western Sichuan Army. The first cavalry corps includes the fourth brigade and the tenth cavalry corps.
The second brigade, the 15th brigade and the 16th brigade. The commander is Liu Zhiye, the former commander of the fourth brigade, who was promoted to major general. The deputy brigade commander is Ma Fulu, who still serves as the brigade commander of the 12th brigade. The chief of staff is Guo Defu.
The military rank was promoted to brigadier general. The former commander of the Fourth Brigade was taken over by Liang Wenhua, chief of staff of the fourth brigade, and the military rank was promoted to brigadier general. The military headquarters will consist of a guard battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, an artillery battalion, a supply camp, a field hospital and other units
Composition. The strength of the entire cavalry army will reach more than 38,000 people.
The Second Cavalry Corps includes the 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th brigades, as well as the troops directly under the military headquarters. The total strength is also more than 38,000. The corps commander is composed of the former 10th Brigade.
Brigadier Zhao Bowen serves as the brigade commander, and the military rank is promoted to major general. The deputy brigade commander is Ma Qi. At the same time, Ma Qi continues to serve as the 11th brigade commander. The former chief of staff of the 10th Brigade Li Zhuo serves as the chief of staff, and the military rank is promoted to brigadier general.
The post of brigade commander of the 10th Brigade was taken over by the former deputy brigade commander Tashi Duoji, and his military rank was also promoted to brigadier general.
In addition to protecting their families and the country, soldiers also hope to be promoted and make a fortune. This time, the Western Sichuan Army captured the two provinces of Gansu and Qinghai, which not only expanded its territory, but also enabled many soldiers to be promoted. This made the Western Sichuan Army
The entire army was very excited. The Western Sichuan Army had been silent for too long, but now everyone finally saw hope.
As for the middle and lower-level officers of the army, some are retained by people with good conduct and talents within the Ma Jiajun, and some are graduates of the Army Academy of the Western Sichuan Army. This ensures maximum control over the army.
In the following time, the First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army of the Western Sichuan Army began to reorganize with great enthusiasm. Some older people, or those whose conduct was not up to standard, were all removed from the army. At the same time, because all the troops were
The chaos and confusion made many people feel insecure. However, as time passed, people's hearts gradually stabilized. Don't you just want to be a soldier to eat and get paid? Besides, working for the Western Sichuan Army is far better than working for the Majia Army.
If you work hard and get a lot, why not do it? The only dissatisfaction is probably that the Western Sichuan Army has more rules and regulations, which makes the soldiers of the Ma's Army who are used to being free and loose somewhat unacceptable. But because of the high military pay
In order to save face, everyone still gritted their teeth and accepted it.
A month later, the first batch of supplies arrived at Hezhou, and the troops were gradually changed into equipment. A large number of artillery and other heavy weapons began to be equipped with the troops, which made the surrendering troops feel more at home. In their eyes, the Western Sichuan Army
They are fully armed to the teeth. Fighting with such a force is simply asking for death! Joining the Western Sichuan Army will undoubtedly provide you with greater security.
At the same time, many government officials also came to prepare to transform the government structures of Qinghai and Gansu provinces into the Western Sichuan model. Wang Yuze and Cai Yun also met specifically with the new governors of the two provinces. Name of the governor of Gansu Province
His name is Zuo Yushu, a middle-aged man in his forties. He wears a pair of glasses. Although he is not tall, he looks very wise. His previous position was the deputy governor of Sichuan Province. The new governor of Qinghai Province is named
Xu Zhang, a young man in his thirties, appears to be very capable. He was previously the deputy governor of Xikang Province.
Both Zuo Yushu and Xu Zhang knew their mission. Qinghai and Gansu provinces had just been captured by Western Sichuan. Construction and other matters were not busy yet. The first thing to do was to stabilize the situation. This has a lot to do with the military.
Relations, without the support of the military, they would not be able to stabilize the situation. Fortunately, with the help of the Ma family, there is no problem in this regard.
At this time, the Qing court finally learned of the news of Yang Changjun's death in battle, and was immediately furious and asked Western Sichuan. In turn, Western Sichuan started a war of words with the Qing court, trying to delay as much time as possible. In view of this, the Western Sichuan Army
The First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army have accelerated their reorganization. There are still considerable gaps in weapons and equipment. In order to speed up transportation, the Logistics Department of the Western Sichuan Army has mobilized its maximum transportation capacity, and even airships have been dispatched.
When twenty airships with a load of two tons flew over Hezhou, everyone was shocked by the huge thing that covered the sky. Many herdsmen even knelt down and asked for God's blessing. And many
The troops of Ma Jiajun surrendered and decided to follow the Western Sichuan Army wholeheartedly. The Western Sichuan Army could even fly into the sky, so how could the Qing government be their opponent! The change in their mentality also allowed the reorganization to be accelerated.
In the two provinces of Qinghai and Gansu, there are still a lot of horse bandits, many of whom were killed after the defeat of the Ma Jiajun. The two cavalry armies also simply took this opportunity to suppress the bandits and conduct training at the same time. They gained a lot, and at the same time they accelerated
Reorganization of the troops.
