Chapter 100 Adaptation
"What*?" Zhou Charter asked in shock. Since he met this Lai Chuanwu, he feels that there is something wrong. Now he finally remembers that there is always a condescending gloom in Lai Chuanwu's eyes, which makes people feel cold.
As he spoke, Yao Xi hurried back: "This son of a bitch, Lai Chuanwu runs faster than a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, I don't know where he has gone."
Luo Mingfang became nervous: "Is this guy a Japanese spy!" Luo Mingfang's opposition to Zhou Charter as a military commander was to safeguard the law of the imperial court and was selfless. She thought she could pull up Lai Chuanwu to resist together. Unexpectedly, Lai Chuanwu suddenly ran away and ran without a trace.
Luo Mingfang suddenly became nervous. Hannagan said that Lai Chuanwu*, and now he dares to act alone in North Korea. Now North Korea has become the world of Japanese, and he is most likely * the Japanese.
"I don't think so!" Zhou Charter said, "If he is a Japanese spy, the Japanese will know our details. We can't mobilize the Japanese so smoothly in Incheon."
"Is it Li Zhongtang's person?" Then Hawu said. In the Huai army, Li Hongzhang has a lot of eyeliners, which is an open secret.
"I don't look like it," Wu Peifu said, "Look at this guy's domineering. Maybe it's from which prince he is. Could it be Prince Gong..."
"Nonsense, I think it's a person from the thirteen government!" Yao Xi said.
Zhou Charter became impatient: "Forget it, Lai Chuanwu has left. Who is he who has a fart relationship with us? This guy has some skills and should be fine." Zhou Charter was not interested in Lai Chuanwu's *, but worried about his safety.
Zhou Charter looked at Luo Mingfang and said, "Brother Luo, since you are going to fight in Pyongyang, this 1,300 people must be reorganized. Otherwise, this battle cannot be fought. If you don't agree with me being a military commander, then you can do it! Don't worry, Zhou Charter is willing to help you.
Luo Mingfang was in a daze. He also knew that if he wanted to fight, the team had to be reorganized. There was no battalion of more than 1,000 people in the Qing Dynasty. There were more people in a battalion. Whether it was a battalion officer or a sentry officer, he did not know how to command.
But if you want to be integrated, you have to expand it. If you want to expand it, you have to have the will of the court! The army is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and in turn, the army is also the gravedigger of the imperial court. Any armed force must be controlled. This is the basic military policy of the Qing Dynasty. Without the consent of the court, a privately expanded army is equivalent to a rebel!
According to this logic, Zhou Charter can't be a military commander, nor can Luo Mingfang!
Hannagan stroked the golden beard and said, "I have a compromise plan."
"Mr. Hannagan, please speak." Zhou Charter said.
Hannagan nodded and said, "The army of the Qing Dynasty is based on battalions, with sentries under the battalion and sheds under the sentry. Each battalion*. This kind of combat unit is suitable for cold weapons combat, but it is extremely unsuitable for modern warfare dominated by firearms."
"Yes," Zhou Charter nodded: "The establishment of the battalion is too large and the establishment of the sentry is too small. This kind of organization, the tactics of hitting the sea of people are okay, but the mobility and decomposition are poor, and the firepower configuration is also extremely inconvenient, and it is difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing battlefield situation."
"Our German Army is a regiment as the basic combat unit. The regiment has a battalion, a company under the battalion, a platoon, and a squad. The regimental commander can mobilize the battalion or company level, or even the platoon level at any time according to the battlefield situation. The battalion commander can mobilize the company, platoons, platoons and squad. The firepower configuration is based on the platoon, which is quite flexible and complementary. This system has been adopted by Western countries. The Japanese army is actually based on the German army.
"What Mr. Hannagan means is to adapt Zhang Ziying into a group?" Zhou Charter asked.
"Yes, there are now more than 1,300 people in Zhangzi Camp, and the number of people is not enough to form a group, but it can be organized into a slightly smaller group. The regiment, a combat unit, has no precedent in the Qing Dynasty. I think the imperial court, including Lord Li Zhongtang, can't understand what level it is. You still use the banner of Zhangzi Camp externally, without expansion, and you are not a military commander. You are still a general officer of Qian. Internally, you are called the regiment commander according to the German army.
Zhou Charter laughed dumbly. He knew that the formation of the army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon and class was not a new thing in the new barracks in the 21st century. Unexpectedly, in the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century, he turned around and returned to the original place. No, it was not in place. He changed from a hairy boy in the new barracks to a regimental commander.
If the instructor of the 21st century new barracks knew that he, the guy who was sent to feed pigs, became the regimental commander, he would have to spit blood.
"Brother Luo, what's your opinion?" Zhou Charter asked.
"I have no problem." Luo Mingfang said. There is an essential difference between the adaptation of Zhangzi Camp into a regiment and an army. If you become an independent army, it means supporting yourself and becoming a regiment. This system is not in the military establishment of the Qing Dynasty. In the eyes of the imperial court, no matter how many people you are, you are also a battalion. You must be restrained by the generals, admirals, deputy generals or other middle and senior generals, and there is no threat to the court.
"Tuan Tuan, regiment leader." Zhao Xiaoman finally opened his mouth and said, "It's so awkward."
"If you call too much, it will be smooth." Zhou Charter said and stood up: "That's it. Zhang Ziying was adapted into a regiment, the head..." Zhou Charter looked at Luo Mingfang: "Brother Luo, this regiment commander..."
"You are what you are." Luo Mingfang waved his hand in a hurry. As long as Zhou Charter did not call himself a military commander, he didn't care. As for this regimental commander, he did not dare to be. It was obvious that the brothers below only obeyed Zhou Charter.
"Good!" Zhou Charter said, "This leader, I'm not polite. From now on, Zhangziying will be called the camp externally and the group internally. Luo Mingfang is the deputy head of the regiment and assists me in commanding the battle. Mr. Hannagan is the director of the training department of the regiment and is responsible for the training work. Of course, Mr. Hannagan is the only one in this training office now. Yao Xi continues to serve as the deputy commander of the regiment.
"What about us?" Naha Wu asked hurriedly, for fear that Zhou Charter would kill him as a sentry chief.
"The regiment is divided into three battalions, each with 400 people, and each battalion has three companies under its jurisdiction, each with 130 people. Wu Peifu, the commander of the first battalion, Nahawu, the commander of the second battalion, and Lai Chuanwu, the commander of the third battalion..."
"Lai Chuanwu ran away early!" Haowu said, "Fuk, I think Zhao Xiaoman will do it."
Zhou Charter sighed in his heart that Lai Chuanwu was a general, but unfortunately he could not use it for him.
"The commander of the Third Battalion, I am also the commander." Zhou Charter said, "There are still more than 100 people left to form a regimental guard company, and Zhao Xiaoman is the commander of the guard company."
"Yes!" Zhao Xiaoman stood up and saluted.
Naha Wu asked, "Commium leader, is this guard company the guard?"
"It's almost." Zhou Charter smiled secretly in his heart, but this Hawu was also a little enlightened.
Nahawu hurriedly saluted Zhao Xiaoman: "Commier Zhao, please take care of me."
Wu Peifu scolded, "Then Ha Wu, he is the company commander. You are the battalion commander. How can the battalion commander salute the company commander!"
"Thanks, you have been a soldier," Na Hawu shouted, "Comm Commander Zhao is now the commander-in-law of our regiment. As the saying goes, Zhao Xiaoman is now older than us."
Zhao Xiaoman blushed and hurriedly bowed to everyone: "Masters, the little one is a footman..."
"Nonsense! What a small one," Na Ha Wu shouted, "Zhao Xiaoman, you are now the leader's family general. Speak vigorously and don't fall into the prestige of our leader!"
Hannagen was secretly surprised that the charter was so familiar with the establishment of the German army that it was easy to assign. This person should not be underestimated. How did he know that Zhou Charter had been in the new barracks of the 21st century for three months.
The position distribution has been decided, and then the team will be assigned.
Zhao Xiaoman's guard company is actually a new military sentry. This unit is born as a foot man, has the strongest combat effectiveness, and is loyal to Zhou Charter.
The original Nahawu's first and remaining second sentries were dispersed and mixed with the inmates and scattered soldiers. Zhou Charter also selected more than 20 effective soldiers from the new sentries and artillery to serve as company and platoon leaders of each battalion. In this way, the commanders and backbone of each battalion are either foot soldiers or high-quality artillerymen. These people can endure hardships, be disciplined, and have certain tactical literacy. Even if those camped soldiers are brave and disobedient, they can't do anything big.
Zhou Charter ordered Zhao Xiaoman to take the guards into the village to get some food, and no one else was allowed to enter the village.
This remote coastal fishing village has not experienced war. Although the people have escaped, the grain and fish in every family did not have time to take away. Zhao Xiaoman made some fish and rice and left three times the price of silver according to the order of Zhou Charter.
Under Hannagan's guidance, Zhangzi Camp was reorganized for two days, full of food and drink, and refreshed, and the team was orderly and new. Everyone is eager to go to Pyongyang to fight with Japan.
The only problem is that the troops are seriously short of weapons, with more than 1,300 people and only 500 guns.
However, when it comes to Pyongyang, the problem of weapons can be solved. Zhou Charter knows that the Qing army does not lack guns.
The Qing army did not even lack people or guns. What they lacked was the blood of soldiers.
And what Zhang Ziying has is blood!
Early on the third day, Zhou Charter took the reorganized Zhangzi camp to the west, bypassed Yuanshan City and went to Pyongyang. Wu Peifu took the first battalion as the forward, the second battalion of Naha 5 was in the center, and Zhou Charter himself took the third battalion and guards behind the palace.
This road is a hilly area, and the mountains are gentle. Compared with southern North Korea, the road is much easier to walk. The team progressed quickly and drove 40 kilometers in less than half a day.
