This regiment-level confrontation increased its troops and expanded its exercise area, so the confrontation time of each regiment took longer, and it did not end until January 8, 1927, and lasted a total of 15 days.

When confronting between companies, although the tactical command capabilities of the company commanders on the offensive and defense are also very important, due to the limitations of troops and firepower in terms of quantity, and the area of ​​the confrontation area is not large, it depends more on the performance of the training level of each company, the manifestation of combat will, and the ability of the commander to adapt to the battlefield. For example, the control and competition of commanding heights, the construction of trenches and bunkers, the strength of the troops during offense and defense, the development of firepower, etc., which basically test the basic skills of daily training.

When confronting between battalions, due to the increase in troops, the firepower is enhanced, and the drill area is expanded, each battalion has more room to play. In addition to the basic skills tests, the importance of the tactical level of command personnel at each battalion level has also begun to be highlighted. For example, the judgment of the situation between the enemy and us, the opponent's possible force, firepower, offensive route, and choice of defensive position, etc., all reflect more the requirements for the tactical level of battalion-level command personnel.

After the two-level confrontation between the company and battalions, everyone knows the tactical level of each commander, but a few people think that there are certain unexpected factors and do not allow their team to show their true combat effectiveness. For example, the rules that draw lots to determine the number of ammunitions of both sides and the rules that limit the attack and defense time made Li Yunhai mutter.

When the Dazhushan Training Camp led by Liu Chengshan, Li Yunhai and Liu Haidong were in the battalion-level offensive and defensive confrontation with Zou Degui's detachment, Li Yunhai and others belonged to the attacking side, but unfortunately drew half a base amount of ammunition, while Zou Degui's defensive side drew half a base amount of ammunition. When Li Yunhai and others of the attacking side were exhausted, they were annihilated by Zou Degui's troops who had sufficient ammunition to carry forward their firepower advantages.

Facing Li Yunhai who was dissatisfied at the time, Zhao Zhenzhong warned him: "The battlefield is always full of surprises, and the difference between victory and loss often depends on some unexpected factors. The rules for drawing ammunition quantity and limiting time for offense and defense are to add some uncertain factors during offense and defense confrontation, and see what level the two sides can play when facing these uncertain factors on the battlefield. In war, we must give full play to our advantages as much as possible, and at the same time limit the enemy's advantages as much as possible. If the ammunition is gone, you will not fight? Zou Degui can carry forward his firepower advantages, why can't you find a way to develop my melee advantages? We must find more reasons!"

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's lesson, Li Yunhai blushed and didn't say anything anymore, but began to think in his heart: "Yes, Chengshan and Haidong are both good at it. After so long training, the brothers from the four companies below also have good skills. Why did they just think about insufficient ammunition but didn't expect melee combat? I, a pig, didn't expect how Chengshan and Haidong didn't expect?" He turned to look at Liu Chengshan on the side and Liu Haidong, but found that the two of them looked annoyed after waking up.

"Uncle Master, I understand, I will definitely correct it in the future." Although he was scolded by Zhao Zhenzhong, Li Yunhai still gritted his teeth and assured Zhao Zhenzhong after he came over.

"It's good that you can really understand. You three are good at it, but don't always think that fighting hard is a war. You should use your brain more and think more about how to win as much as possible at the smallest price." Zhao Zhenzhong reminded again.

After learning what Zhao Zhenzhong admonished Li Yunhai, many people also learned about it and performed better and better in the subsequent confrontation.

In addition to the content shown in the confrontation between regiments and battalions, which considers the tactical level of a regiment-level command, the confrontation between regiment-level commands also considers more the overall concept and battlefield decision-making ability of this regiment-level command, especially the main commanders.

If the two-level confrontation between companies and battalions is still difficult to distinguish the level of the teams, then through the regiment-level confrontation, it is obvious that the combat style and tactical level of the commanders of several teams are high, especially the ability of each person to grasp the overall situation of the combat.

Although Gu Haichuan did not participate in the campaign to wipe out bandits in the Yimeng Mountains, Zhao Zhenzhong and the heads of each detachment also promptly informed him of the relevant battle examples after they were sorted out. In addition, Zhao Zhenzhong issued clear requirements to each team from time to time, and the training obtained by being responsible for the full operation of the entire Dazhushan base, Gu Haichuan improved quickly. Not only did he have a broad vision, but he also had a strong overall view. After the training of 16 offensive and defensive battles in the battalion-level confrontation, Gu Haichuan can now fully play his combat command level. His combat style can be regarded as taking both offense and defense into consideration, with a dignified and unsparing water.

Because Jiang Yishan led all companies to carry out activities in the Yimeng Mountains in the early stage, the overall situation was OK, and his overall performance in both offense and defense was good, but there was still some lack of consideration in details, so further training was needed. In addition, Jiang Yishan's combat style is somewhat stable, and he needs to be further strengthened in attacks.

Zhang Mingrui was the fastest-progressive person in the same period in combat. Since he was in charge of the training camp, he has coordinated the training and daily life arrangements of thousands of people. He has received great training, has a comprehensive thinking about problems, and has a strong sense of the overall situation. In addition, he can ask Zhao Zhenzhong nearby, and Yang Tianming, a reconnaissance brigade, can observe and communicate nearby. Zhang Mingrui's growth in all aspects can be said to be a rapid progress. Although he is also responsible for both offense and defense in combat command, unlike Gu Haichuan's dignity, Zhang Mingrui has begun to have the command characteristics that are consistent with the same principles.

Yang Tianming also stayed in the Dazhushan training camp for nearly a year. Now he is in charge of the reconnaissance brigade, and his overall concept is not bad. However, influenced by the special combat concept instilled by Zhao Zhenzhong, he emphasized surprising victory and the greatest victory at the lowest price. He often spotted loopholes and implemented "beheading" and killed one blow. In addition, strange tricks were emerging in battle, making his opponents unable to defend.

Du Yishan and Liu Jifeng have similar temperaments and are both strong-willed people. Their combat styles also advocate attack. The difference is that after being tempered by various battles in the southern line expansion operation, Liu Jifeng has a clear understanding of the overall situation and details of the battlefield than Du Yishan. In the previous expansion operation, Du Yishan was basically cleaned up in the area of ​​the area he was responsible for, and of course he did not get much training, so he obviously lacked some understanding of some problems. He was at a disadvantage in this regiment-level confrontation. If these two people practiced well, they would be good candidates for attacking vanguards in the future.

After the expansion operation and the training of Xu Chaoyuan's actions to lead his troops to sneak into the near Tai'an to rescue the people, he also improved a lot. Although the tactical level still needs further crafting, his overall situation is good, and his grasp of details on the battlefield is well-established, and all aspects can be said to be average.

Compared with others, Zou Degui has another meaning. Perhaps he is influenced by his family's careful and careful style of landlords who were instilled in his childhood. His combat preparations are exquisite. In the absence of certainty, he does not need large forces to fight you in a decisive battle, but he does not feel relaxed. Just like a dog skin plaster, he constantly attacks you with small forces, making you restless. He only makes a strong blow when the time is right. In the words Zou Degui often talks, it is "a small-business business cannot be lost." However, Zou Degui's advantages and shortcomings are also relatively obvious. His combat style makes him basically not suffer a big loss, which is his advantage; but his current lack of overall situation is another major disadvantage of his. Therefore, although he is careful and careful in calculating and minimizing losses, he often fails in the end due to insufficient grasp of the overall situation.

The Dazhushan training camp personnel led by Liu Chengshan, Li Yunhai and Liu Haidong also performed well this time. However, in the battalion-level confrontation, with the tough style of several people and solid military qualities, they were not inferior to each team and ranked at the forefront. However, in the regiment-level confrontation, the situation changed. Although they still did not inferior to each other, as the troops increased and the training area expanded, and after many confrontations, the opportunities for each team were constantly summarized and improved, especially when they encountered Yang Tianming and Zou Degui, the three of them always felt that they had nowhere to exert force. In the end, in the confrontation of 9 regiment-level units, the results were ranked seventh.

The top teams are Gu Haichuan and Zhang Mingrui, who tied for the first place with 14 wins and 2 losses. However, Gu Haichuan's team has 8 attacks and 6 wins, and 8 defenses and 8 defenses, while Zhang Mingrui's team has 7 games in offense and defense.

Ranked third is Yang Tianming's team, with a score of 13 wins and 3 losses. However, this score is actually better than Gu Haichuan and Zhang Mingrui's team. After all, the Reconnaissance Brigade, which is the backbone of Yang Tianming's team, was formed in the summer of 1926, and there are less than 30 old rangers among them. Gu Haichuan and Zhang Mingrui's team each have 1,200 old rangers as backbones.

Jiang Yishan's team ranks fourth; Liu Jifeng's team ranks fifth; Xu Chaoyuan's team ranks sixth; Zou Degui's team ranks eighth; Du Yishan's team ranks ninth.

After all the team-level confrontations ended on January 8, 1927, the leaders of the teams ranked low were not good-looking, and Gu Haichuan, Zhang Mingrui and other team leaders were not too excited, and were all savoring the gains and losses and lessons learned in those confrontations.

After Zhao Zhenzhong analyzed some more representative battle examples in the regiment-level confrontation exercise one by one, he began to carry out a major rectification of the entire guard system.

In the entire guard system, in addition to the remaining 746 people from the original Rangers, there are more than 210 people left after the training of the Dazhushan Base in the fall of 1925, plus the two periods of the Donglidian Training Camp and the Dazhushan Training Camp, with a total of 14,387 new recruits, totaling more than 15,300 troops.

Zhao Zhenzhong decided to reorganize the existing troops, establish 6 regiments, one reconnaissance and communication brigade, and two teaching brigades. Among them, the Dazhushan base has a base garrison regiment with 2,000 people and one with 500 people. The two are responsible for defending the Dazhushan base and are responsible for the task of training new recruits.

In the control area of ​​the Guards in the Yimeng Mountains, five regiments will be set up, stationed in the surrounding area and the central area of ​​the control area. Each regiment has a force of more than 2,200 people. At the same time, there is another reconnaissance and communication brigade with a staff of thousands of people and a new recruit teaching brigade with a staff of more than 500 people.
