Chapter 149 Soldier Issues

The appointment of the Supreme Military Commission is not exquisite in Zhang Xuewu's view, and the newly issued military uniforms also seem to be a little unfitting. Zhang Xuewu, who is used to the military uniforms in later generations, is different from Song Zheyuan, Feng Yuxiang and others. He wears a fat gray cotton-padded jacket and hangs a collar as a military uniform.

Zhang Xuewu's military uniform must fit straight, military boots should be bright, and the tweed coat must be polished every day. Soldiers can't relax at all times. It's better to be colder than be stylish! As the saying goes, the scenery of the tangible world is infinite. As a soldier, Zhang Xuewu's military appearance can be said to be outstanding. In this year, the so-called requirements for military appearance have not reached the level of rigidity in later generations, which makes Zhang Xuewu appear to be extremely outstanding.

After Zhang Xuewu's photos taken in cooperation with the People's Daily, the Taung Pao and the Declaration were published, he suddenly became the idol of young men and women. Many people only found out for the first time that the inconspicuous Qiu Ba could also be heroic? Zhang Xuewu held up a telescope and rode a white horse with a high-spirited photo of intellectual youth joining the army all over the country!

However, the side effect of the military fever is that Zhang Xuewu received tens of thousands of love letters from all over the country. Countless celebrities and noble girls spread their feelings for Zhang Xuewu. Huang Tao, Li Xinkai and others opened the photos for Zhang Xuewu's letter review when they were bored. These letters were also from the United States and the United Kingdom. What makes Zhang Xuewu even more unexpected is that these celebrities and noble women heard that Zhang Xuewu was waiting to defend the country in the barren land of the Rehe River, and his military expenses were overstretched, so they killed the Ministry of Military Affairs, which made Minister He and all his colleagues of the Military and Political Department cry out for injustice! The most unexpected thing for everyone is that these noble women launched a large-scale fund-raising and raised more than five million yuan in just ten days? Nanyang Lin's 1,000 gold donated his dowry of 500,000 yuan, which made Zhang Xuewu ashamed.

Afterwards, Xu Guohui always teased Zhang Xuewu with the prince riding a white horse. As a result, Zhang Xuewu suddenly told Xu Guohui very seriously that in fact, not all the people riding the white horse were princes, but also the Tang monk! As a result, Xu Guohui was stunned, and Huang Tao laughed.

Soon, the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission approved Zhang Xuewu's declaration by the Ministry of Military Affairs, drew up the Rehe Army's call Hu Ben, and had the jurisdiction over the new First Army. It set up a new First, Second and Third Infantry Divisions, and established the Rehe Garrison Command, which has jurisdiction over the Rehe Guard Division and the Chasui Guard Division, and the reading artillery under the jurisdiction of the Legion. The brigade and the reading mechanization brigade, the three field infantry infantry divisions are organized according to the adjustment division plan of the German consultant. Each division has two brigades, two regiments under the jurisdiction of each brigade, and each division has a supplementary regiment, and the troops directly under the division, with a total of 16,500 personnel. The garrison division is organized according to the second type of troops, with more than 1,800 people in each regiment under the jurisdiction of the division. The three regiments, the Rehe Army, a total of more than 100,000 people, are directly under the legion.

Lieutenant General Zhang Xuewu, who made great contributions in the First World War of Rehe, served as the commander of the Rehe Army and the commander of the new First Army. Hao Wenbin was promoted to the deputy commander of the new First Army. Huang Tao was promoted to Major General as the director of the Political Department of the Legion. Li Xinkai was promoted to Major General as the Chief of Staff of the Legion. Xu Guohui was appointed as the commander of the new First Infantry Division. Wang Chuang was appointed. Major General of the New Infantry Division, Zhao Xinyu as Major General of the New Infantry Division of the Third Division, Hu Zhenglong as the Commander of the Colonel of the Chasui Guard Division, Zhan Yang as the Commander of the Rehe Guard Division, Zhang Tianpeng as the Major General of the Reading Artillery Brigade, Tang Ziqiang as the Major General of the Mechanized Brigade, Qin Buyi as the Captain of the Falcon Commando, Yao Leren Captain of the Blade Commando.

At this time, even if Zhang Xuewu wants to pull the strong man, there is no place to pull him! Therefore, in order to fill the corps, Zhang Xuewu specially held an expanded meeting of officers above the battalion.

The battalions, regiments and division commanders at all levels who came to the meeting were also full of complaints. A few days ago, they still hugged their necks and called brothers and brothers. At this moment, in order that the regional division of recruitment was not clearly defined, they almost glared at each other. Zhang Xuewu still understood this very well. Although the Rehe Legion is a large unit, there are With such a special existence as the new first army, the call sign of Hu Ben can be used on the Rehe Legion, and it can also be used on the new first army, which everyone knows very well.

Since the legion has a call sign, the main force of its subordinates should also have a corresponding call call, but this call sign is not a wait for the dead platoon's qualifications to be lined up. It needs to fight hard. When there is no war, it depends on who is well-trained and whose army is strict. The three main field divisions and two garrisons are low at this moment. They are all gritting their teeth, especially Zhan Yang and Hu Zhenglong, the division commander of Colonel B. Although Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang and others are their old officers, it does not mean that Hu Zhenglong and Zhan Yang do not have the heart to rise up.

Real soldiers have a strong self-esteem. No one wants to succumb to others. What's more, they are nominally division commanders. When they see others, they have to stand up and salute, and the supply should first fight against the main division. The two guards are like the children raised by their stepmother. Although Hu Zhenglong and Zhan Yang are clear in their hearts, Zhang Xuewu I won't treat them badly, but it's also a little difficult for them to accept.

In addition, there have been a lot of friction between the conscription troops recently. The division-level commanders under the stage are fine. The regimental level is a little presumptuous, while the battalion level is almost open-mouthed.

Zhang Xuewu looked around at the people at the meeting, took a sip of herbal tea, and suddenly smashed the cup to pieces. The people present were immediately stunned. The commander of the army was really angry, and no one dared to take it seriously, so the lively vegetable market became a serious venue again.

Zhang Xuewu coughed and said, "Can you people be a little promising? Isn't it just a conscription? Because a few soldiers are as deep as the sea one by one? What are you all doing?"

As soon as Zhang Xuewu opened his mouth, all the officers below were honest. According to the establishment of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, one adjustment division and six regiments were divided into two brigades. However, in order to be able to control the army more easily, Zhang Xuewu did not want to be placed too many deputy positions by Nanjing because he had too few people.

So Zhang Xuewu came up with a method to introduce the competition mechanism of later generations. The brigade commander of the Rehe Legion is a colonel, and the general commander is a colonel or lieutenant colonel. However, the position of the brigade is not fixed, but determined according to the training results of each regiment. If the performance of a regiment is the best, the commander of the regiment will also serve as the infantry commander of the division, which is equivalent to the brigade. At the official level, you can enjoy the brigade commander's special car allowance, family visit and other treatment. If the three regiments surpass next month, the three regiment commanders will enjoy the above treatment. Zhang Xuewumei called it the incentive system.
