Chapter 4 Generals of the Second Battalion

The second battalion of the right wing of the Wuwei Right Army was deployed outside Baoding City. It didn't take long for Zhao Dongyun to get to the school yard by horseback. The scale of this school site is very large. In addition to the second battalion, some artillery, cavalry and other troops are also stationed. However, these artillery, cavalry and some engineers are not under Zhao Dongyun's control. They have their own Chief officer.

As soon as Zhao Dongyun arrived, the officers of the second battalion greeted him. Naturally, they were introduced separately. After a moment, all the talents sat together in the battalion headquarters of the second battalion. As the highest officer, Zhao Dongyun naturally sat at the top.

Below are the officers of the second battalion. Through the introduction just now and the resume of the personnel files that Zhao Dongyun has seen before, although he has not really seen through these people present, he still knows the superficial things.

Sitting at the top of his left is Chen Kuilong, the assistant of the second battalion. This man looked 1.85 meters. He was not only tall, but also looked full of muscles. In ancient times, he was a fierce general who was one against ten.

This person graduated from Tianjin Military Academy and served in the Huai Army. Later, he was transferred to the new army. However, he is slightly older, nearly 40 years old, and he has not been promoted for several years after the new army. Originally, he was a popular candidate led by the new battalion officer of the second battalion, but he would think that he did not promote him, but directly transferred Zhao Dongyun.

So since the moment Zhao Dongyun came in, he has been silent and hasn't said much, and his expression revealed dissatisfaction.

Sitting under Chen Kuilong are two young people with a Chinese face and a medium figure. He is very ordinary in appearance and figure. He belongs to the kind of person who can't be found in the crowd. His name is Lin Pingxiong. He graduated from the Wuwei Right Army Camp School and is now the leader of the former team.

The face below is a little beautiful, and it is difficult for him to imagine a soldier with a white face. This person's name is Gu Lanyu. Like Lin Pingxiong, he also graduated from the Wuwei Right Army Camp School and now serves as the leader of the rear team

Sitting in Zhao Dongyun's right hand is Bi Xiaoqiang, the leader of the left team. If he is not careful, his name will be heard as 'Xiaoqiang'. This person's appearance is also ordinary, but his skin is slightly dark and there is an obvious scar on his palm. He graduated from Tianjin Wubei School.

Then came Gu Qizhi, the leader of the right team. He was slightly short and estimated to be more than 1.6 meters tall, but his neck was very thick, and the clothes on his arms and legs were stretched tightly. At a glance, he knew that this man was full of explosive power. This person also graduated from the Wuwei Right Army Camp School. .

Zhao Dongyun is familiar with the superficial information of these people, but what is their temperament? How about the ability? What kind of back scenes do they have? It will take time to gradually understand the potential conflicts of interest with yourself.

This meeting is said to be a meeting, rather than a briefing used by Zhao Dongyun to announce his official takeover of the second battalion.

In his two lifetimes, Zhao Dongyun became a commander of more than 1,500 people, but this was not a big problem for him. Although he knew nothing about the military in his previous life, there was no essential difference between managing people in the enterprise and in the army. Moreover, after integrating the original memory, he still has the memory of studying for many years. Even if he still has no military command talent, it is still not a problem to move it.

So he is the first time to hold a real position in the army, but what to do has already had a complete set of abdominal cases!

After meeting these army chief officers in the morning, he was not in a hurry to get any new officers to take office, but called the sentries and eyes of the second battalion to talk one after another. Naturally, he did this to deepen his sense of existence in the hearts of these lower-level officers, and on the other hand, he also tried to control the whole from the grassroots level. Second Battalion.

As for the leaders and assistants, except for talking once on the first morning, Zhao Dongyun seemed to think they didn't exist at other times.

In addition to seeing people, Zhao Dongyun also patrolled the barracks non-stop. On the one hand, he was to rectify the camp, and on the other hand, he also tried to deepen contact with the soldiers and not ask these soldiers to be loyal to him immediately, but at least he had to let these soldiers know that Zhao Dongyun was coming!

After a few days, Zhao Dongyun also figured out many problems in the second battalion. First of all, the soldiers were not satisfied with the formation. The reason was that many backbones were transferred to the Standing Army.

This is not just a problem of the second battalion. In fact, the whole Wuwei Right Army has been transferred to the standing army, which has caused a large number of vacancies in personnel, especially grassroots officers.

Otherwise, the standing army cannot be trained into a left town in just a few months. You should know that those ordinary soldiers can still be recruited and trained in a short time, but those technical backbones and grassroots officers cannot be supplemented in a short period of time, and can only be transferred from the right military guard.

The exercise will be carried out in a month, and the vacancy must be filled as soon as possible.

The second problem is Chen Kuilong. Originally, Zhao Dongyun didn't know it, but a few days later he found that Chen Kuilong was actually his own competitor before, and now he seems to be unwilling to look at his appearance, and he has not been very cooperative with his work these days.

In the face of this situation, Zhao Dongyun naturally doesn't think that he can exude a bastard's anger to make him bow down, and he is not interested in playing any intrigue with Chen Kuilong. He is not shooting TV series. He is so idle that he goes to play intrigue with his subordinates!

The solution prepared by Zhao Dongyun for this is very simple, that is, to transfer Chen Kuilong and kick him far away, it will not let him hinder him!

Zhao Dongyun does not intend to play tricks with others now, because that not only does not make you very smart, but will make people think that you are dragging things, but also intrigues like a woman!

And as a general, what he fears most is dragging water. Being decisive is a necessary skill for a general!

And just a month after the exercise, there is not much time left for Zhao Dongyun. If his performance in that exercise is excellent, the word "temporary signature" on his head can be removed. If his performance is mediocre, not to mention becoming a regular, I'm afraid he will be kicked back to the school as a teacher soon.

Therefore, Zhao Dongyun did not waste much time on in collusion with his subordinates. As the saying goes, those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. Since Chen Kuilong does not cooperate with Zhao Dongyun's work, he rudely waved his pen and directly recommended him to Suiying School as a teacher!

As for whether he can climb out of the abyss of Suiying School in the future, it is not what Zhao Dongyun cares about.

Just five days after Zhao Dongyun came, he transferred Chen Kuilong, the assistant, and also dismissed two sentries, which made a group of officers of the second battalion deeply feel Zhao Dongyun's style of doing things. To some extent, this can also be regarded as Zhao Dongyun's new official.

The right army of Wuwei is Yuan Shikai's leading force. The training of the second battalion has not fallen, and there is no shortage of ordnance. Therefore, after dealing with several officers, Zhao Dongyun does not need to worry about the rest. After all, the combat effectiveness of this unit has been maintained at a relatively stable level, and it can't be too big in a short time. Fluctuation.

However, since Zhao Dongyun wants to perform well in the exercise a month later, he has to find another way!

Duan Qirui said that at that time, he would be the main attack of the vanguard team and defend himself! Zhao Dongyun muttered the word defense, and then naturally remembered the scenes in many film and television dramas. The charging troops rushed forward all over the mountains, and then fell under the machine gun shooting on the opposite side. Even if they barely rushed over, they were blocked by the barbed wire.

"Machine gun, barbed wire!" Zhao Dongyun is no stranger to these two things. In fact, after coming to this era, he paid great attention to military-related memories and inquired some information, knowing that machine guns are no longer strange in the armies of various countries. As early as 1894, during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army had become a large-scale operation. Use Maxim machine guns and Gatling hand-cranked machine guns.

To some extent, during the First Sino-Japanese War or the beginning of the Huai Army era, the equipment level of the Qing army was not far from the great powers, and there may be a slight quality gap, but it was far less serious than that during World War II or even New China. During World War II and after the war, the equipment level of the Chinese army Compared with the great powers, there is a generation gap, and there are still several generation differences. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, although the equipment level of the Qing army was slightly worse, it was far from the modern situation.

When the great powers were equipped with a single-loaded rear rifle, the Huai army was also equipped with similar rifles on a large scale. When the great powers began to equip smokeless rapid guns, the domestic Qing army also began to equip a large number of Manlixia and 1888 committee rifles.

In 1901, Japan is currently equipped with a 30-year-old rifle, and the famous 38-year rifle in later generations has no shadow.

The G98 rifle in Germany has just been finalized for a few years, and there are still a large number of 1888 committee rifles in service in the army. In fact, Germany still has a large number of second-line troops equipped with 1888 committee rifles until World War I.

So in China, not to mention the old army, the equipment is disorderly, and there are old and new. In terms of the new army, the right-wing army is currently equipped with Manly Xia's rifle. The Beiyang Standing Army, which is still in preparation, is also expected to adopt Manly's summer rifles and horse guns on a large scale.

Several other troops, such as the vanguard of the Wuwei Right Army and the Self-improvement Army, currently use old equipment, including the old 11mm single-shot Mauser and the 7.92mm new Mauser. The official name of this gun is the 1888 committee rifle, which is also commonly known as Hanyang-made, old sleeve, leaking bottom five, and Mauser fast in China. Grab, small-caliber Mauser, etc.

However, in terms of Yuan Shikai's urine nature of imported goods, it won't be long before the two troops will change into Manlixia rifles.

Only in terms of the rifles equipped by the new army, although there is some gap compared with the great powers, this gap is not enough to affect the outcome of the war!
