227 Retreat

The night has gradually become blurred. The soil that has been experienced by war is full of flesh and blood, and there is a scene of destruction brought about by the war.

Anlu, Anrongtang. In order to prepare for the battle against Beiyang, Marshal Li divided Hubei into three war zones, and this was the operational command center of Hubei.

The area of Anrong Hall is not very large, but it covers an area of 30 mu. However, its halls, corridors, pink walls, cave doors and other buildings are just right with the combination of rockery, pools, flowers and trees. There are four different scenery: landscape, countryside, mountain forest and garden. Because of the large number and dense distribution of buildings, Anrong Hall pays great attention to these layouts, especially in spatial processing. Although the pavilion is full of pavilions, it does not have the slightest sense of chaos, but gives people a continuous and overall concept.

At this time, in the Eight Immortals Hall of Anrong Hall, people retreated and seemed empty. The slanting sun shadow shone into the hall from the open door. Li Xiang suddenly felt a little lonely and suddenly remembered that the housekeeper's little sister Mei Di had sent some snacks in the morning, and she has not eaten yet. He felt secretly funny. He stretched out comfortably in the melting sun at the door and moved his legs and feet. From a distance, he saw Zeng Gao, the general counsel of the grass team, holding a large pile of documents in his hands to send to the clerical room, so he shouted with a smile, "Lao Gao, come here!"

"Yo!" Zeng Gaozheng walked with his head down. He couldn't help but be called. He looked up and saw that it was Li Xiang. He quickly smiled and came over, "It was the general who called me... My eyes are getting worse and worse, and I'm almost tired of myopia!" He hurriedly put the document into the case and turned around with a salute and a hippie smile, "Is the reorganization of the Hubei Revolutionary Army too hasty? Our staff is exhausted... Let's just go to have a few Prussian beards and learn from the authentic German army.

Li Xiang immediately began to reorganize the revolutionary army after the end of Qianjialing.

Germany has always been a military power in the European army, and has always been the object of imitation of some relatively backward military countries in Europe and Asia. At the time of the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Japanese Army copied the full set of military ideas, construction systems and standard exercises of the Prussian Army. Although the Japanese army initially learned from France, after a Franco-Prussian war, the Japanese found that in contrast, the army seemed to depend on Germany, especially Germany took the lead in opening a perfect staff system.

The German General Staff, which came from the former General Staff of the Prussian Army, is a model of the vast majority of the General Staff of the army, and is also a senior military institution in the German army that plans and makes decisions on war.

It is also because of the rise and exhibition of the General Staff that the Germans have the greatest advantage when compared with other opponents. It is also because of this that for nearly two centuries, the German Military General Staff has become one of the best staff agencies in military history.

Although, from a strict definition. The first general staff in history was actually established in France, Germany's neighbor and sworn enemy, as early as during the French Revolution. The office of the Ministry of Defense under the Ministry of Defense Lazale Kano has begun to have the culphistication of the modern General Staff. In 1795, Berthier, who later became Marshal Napoleon, took the lead in establishing a staff system and later became the Office of the Chief of Staff directly led by Bertie, and another one known as the General Staff. The agency of the Ministry of Planning formed the command of Napoleon. However, the Office of the Chief of Staff and the General Staff of that period only strictly obeyed Napoleon's orders. And it can't directly replace the emperor himself to command, so it can't be the general staff in the true sense.

In contrast to the Germans, in a narrow sense, the General Staff is the command center of the Prussian army. Responsible for researching all aspects of the war, formulating troop mobility plans and campaign implementation plans, and formulating operational and mobilization plans. In a broad sense, the General Staff represents a new military concept. Although European countries set up the General Staff at that time, the German General Staff is well-known for its complete and strict training mechanism and relying on actual performance rather than origin as a reward and punishment standard.

The German Military General Staff, which was first established in 18o6, was established by two Prussian generals, Gerhard von Schönhorst and Ovest von Gneisenau, but it was not until 1821, when Baron Karl von Mifflin, the Chief of General Staff, took office. This marks the formal establishment of the General Staff.

The training mechanism of the German General Staff is not only to train qualified staff, but also to train professional officers with rich knowledge, broad vision and dedication.

The General Staff has the privilege of being less controlled by political forces, which was fixed in the form of legal provisions in the German Constitution of 1871.

Compared with the slow establishment of China's staff system, Japan started very early in this regard. At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, Japan invited Major Merkel from Germany as an instructor at the Army Academy, establishing the cornerstone of Japan's modern staff system. The staff talents and senior commanders of the Japanese Army have been trained.

The modern staff system of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army is still very primitive, and the modern staff system of the Revolutionary Army is also very primitive.

And Li Xiang appreciates the advanced military and industriality of Germany very much. He hopes to introduce the management methods, advanced strategic tactics and combat skills of the German army from Germany, especially the German spirit, which is appreciated by the senior management of the revolutionary army, because this is very similar to the spirit of the revolutionary army. It is precisely because we hope to obtain advanced theoretical knowledge from the Germans in order to build a strong army, defend the resolute fruits of the revolution internally and resist foreign aggression externally.

It's just the current conditions. It's too difficult to hire a German military adviser. The senior management of the revolutionary army can only use a little bit of what they learned from German students in Japan to explore their own construction...

Li wanted to take a good looked at Zeng Gao. This guy was full of words and loved to complain. While listening to his nagging, he smiled, "Is it too hasty? No, it's not urgent at all! The Beiyang Army is not the ultimate enemy of the revolutionary army. At present, it is the most serious and urgent threat to China. Of course, it refers to Japan. Japan knows very well about China. Its interests are the opposite of that of China, so it must use all kinds of methods to undermine China's internal unity and strength, and at least try to delay its realization. In this Xinhai Revolution, the Japanese can be seen everywhere. The national revolution is booming, and the air in Tokyo is no longer happy... Imagine that once the war breaks out, the national government will have a firm will to resist and admit the enemy's demands and accept it silently. Isn't this another Jiawu? The public spirit creates the will to resist, so it should not be despised. Whether Sun Yat-sen or Yuan Shikai is in charge, if the leader does not have such will, the people will not come out and resist. The will to resist must have a strong strength in order to have a fixed foundation. At present, the strength of the Chinese army, even if the Beiyang Army cannot serve as a modern war, if it cannot be used for a long time to resist the enemy and force it to increase its strength, the most important thing is to establish a small but extremely new national defense force.

Zeng Gao was stunned. In the Japanese threat theory, it is not the first time for Li Dashuai to sing. He has long been used to it. Moreover, in the battle of the Eastern Concession in Hankou, I really understood some things. The army equipment of Xiaodongyang may be inferior to that of the Beiyang Army, but its combat effectiveness, fighting will, and mobilization ability of war are much stronger than that of Beiyang. Japan is already a modern country!

He smiled and said, "This is not a quick success overnight. The Japanese army has been built for generations and decades. If China wants to establish an extremely new national defense force, although it is small, it must also start with the strengthening of military education. It is necessary to create schools such as infantry, artillery, engineers, heavy soldiers, and communication soldiers. In terms of teaching, it does not abandon the traditional Japanese method, if the German model order of "specializing in field work for war use" is adopted. Only then can a large number of talents be cultivated, and the synthesis of the army can also have a greater exhibition. The new types of artillery, aviation and cavalry have begun to take shape. A large number of special forces equipment is also included in the procurement plan. This whole army construction plan has greatly enriched China's national defense force. I don't know what it takes decades to complete..."

Li wanted to hear it and suddenly remembered that Seckert, the father of the German Wehrmacht, clearly put forward three central ideas for China's army building for the Chiang Kuangtou National Government, one of which was the foundation of the ruling power. Second, the power of the army lies in its excellent quality. In addition. The combat potential of the army is based on the training of the officer corps' education.

According to the three central ideas of building the army put forward by Seckert, what the national government must first realize is the great role of military power in national politics. The so-called "strong, one-minded and one-minded leadership" is the theme of this idea and policy of building a military. Because Seckert believes that only a one-genized leader can give overall consideration to every national measure involving economy and finance, first, people's education and publicity. And this makes Jiang Guangtou, who advocates iron fist, feel very useful.

Li Xiang said with a calm face, "With limited material and financial resources, we will first establish a well-equipped and well-trained small core demonstration arm - a model army. First, it is organized into eight divisions. Then it was expanded to 18 divisions, and finally completed the reorganization of 60 divisions across the country in batches. China's elite and standing army of 60 divisions is enough to meet all kinds of military needs," he said to Zeng Gao with a smile, "Although the model army is very small, it has been established into a well-organized and well-structured small condensed version. It can be said that the arrangement of each of these points is very perfect and enriched. Once the time is ripe, this small condensed version of the revolutionary army can be expanded without limit. Because this revolutionary army is extremely elite and full. Every soldier is trained to be the basic backbone for leading and commanding operations, and every officer is trained to become a future military commander. This way. This is equivalent to fully establishing the backbone structure of the revolutionary army. Once needed, it can be directly expanded into a large-scale combat force with high combat literacy.

Zeng Gao's heart abrupt, and his words were too touching: "This is a future Chinese National Defense Army!"

"The Beiyang Army has begun to retreat!" Li was about to go to have dinner when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside the house. Song Que's military uniform was neat and his big brim hat was upright. He strode in and stepped down. The spurs dragged the green brick floor and went straight to sparks. "The Beiyang Army is starting to retreat!"

On this day, the war is calm. The decision to withdraw the Beiyang army was so unexpected that Li Xiang couldn't believe it was true after receiving the report of the Beiyang army's retreat. He is still waiting to compete with his opponent in the suburbs of Hankou.
