等到赵刚处理完这些事情后,赵刚回到了平寇军,这里才是赵刚的根.经过几天的观察,赵刚发现平寇军的单兵素质大为提高,但是缺乏合格的基层军官,而且现在的军队编制已经不适应现代战争的需要.

The 1st Battalion has 4 sentries, 1st team 8, and 10 people are led by battalion officers, sergeant officers, and Shi Chief. There are 6 personal soldiers directly under the battalion officers, and about 505 people in the 1st Battalion. Such a configuration is too small for the regiment and too large for the battalion. It has only a three-level setting, so it cannot exert all its strength in combat. Zhao Gang recalled the German army organization of this era and reorganized the military organization of the Pangkou Army.

An infantry squad has 5 people, including 1 qualified soldier + 4 quasi-qualified soldiers

An infantry platoon was organized with 25 combatants and 20 quasi-combatants.

An infantry company has 120 combatants and 90 quasi-combatants.

An infantry company has 750 combatants and 525 quasi-combatants.

An infantry regiment has 4,000 combatants and 2,600 quasi-combatants and 1,400

An infantry division has 18,000 combatants and 10,800 quasi-combatants.

One month later, the Pingko Army adapted to the new organization, but the soldiers still exposed many problems during training, especially when performing advanced tactical actions such as roundabout and encirclement, the team often gets lost and the combat commander cannot pay attention to tactical intentions.

In Zhao Gang's view, it is far from enough to be brave in an army. It is normal for the Pingkou Army to lack officers and have no professional staff to have such problems. In China in 1893, qualified officers and efficient staff headquarters were indispensable in modern warfare. Only one place has a group of qualified officers, and qualified senior commanders need to be recruited in Germany.

Six years ago, some people in China understood that the Germans were powerful in wars, so they built a German instructor military preparation school to train Chinese officers. The name of this school is Beiyang Military Preparation School.

Beiyang Wubei Academy (abbreviated as Laowubei) is located on the east bank of the lower Baihe River in Tianjin, north of Dazhigu, and south of Tangjiakouzi. Near the west bank of the river is Haidao and the Zizhulin Pier in the British Concession. The ships are ships, sails are like forests, and the docks and department stores are piled up like mountains, and the status is very important.

Lao Wubei built more than 1,000 acres of land on the east bank, allocated a battalion of military camps in Tianjin to build a square earthen city to surround it.

Most of the outside of the hall is occupied by a large playground, and when you look at it, it is very open. The surrounding area of ​​the hall is also planted. A shooting range is set up near the east of the Tucheng City, which is a place for students to practice live-fire shooting. The north of Tucheng City is 5 miles away from Lao Longtou (old railway station), 8 miles away from Dongjizi (Beiyang Machinery Bureau), and about 8 miles away from Beiyang Naval Academy in the north.

军事课程十分繁多

Basic tactics, applied tactics, map tactics, strategy studies, Sun Tzu's art of war, Guanzi art of war, ditch art, ballistics, military system studies, field service, infantry exercises, balloon studies, etc.

Ordinary courses include Chinese, arithmetic, geometry, triangle, algebra, geography, Chinese and foreign history, political science, geography, etc.

Where can I find such talents? Looking at the whole of Asia, only Beiyang Academy has it. Adhering to the principle of starting first, Zhao Gang went to Tianjin before the Chinese New Year. When he went there, he had brought more than 300 people when he came back. Almost all the students from Tianjin Wubei Academy were dug back by Zhao Gang. In order to fill the vacancy, Zhao Gang picked more than 300 good seedlings to send them to the Wubei Academy. The officials of the school received money and did not say anything, allowing Zhao Gang to steal the day and change the day to get these 300 elites. When the three hundred people arrived, Zhao Gang immediately took apart these people and assigned them to the Pingko Army to act as the platoon commander according to their grades. Sure enough, when he joined these professional officers who had been professionally trained for five years, the Pingko Army performed various advanced tactical actions much better than before. He made a breakthrough and detour around these advanced actions that could not be done before.

After the New Year, some students from the Berlin Army Academy, introduced by the Germans, also arrived one after another. These people had average academic performance and could not be assigned to the German Army. They were impressed by Zhao Gang's promised high salary (annual salary of 500 taels is almost the treatment of division commanders). More than 40 cadets traveled across the ocean to China, including geniuses like Max Hoffmann, Reinhardt Scher, Retov-Folbeck, von Rudendolf. Of course, these generals who shined in the battle were just a group of unsuccessful lieutenants, and they might become commanders of tens of thousands of people. This temptation is irresistible to these twenty-year-old young people.

Ludendolf is undoubtedly the best army commander, with outstanding strategic vision, organizational ability and tactical skills. However, the oldest has been unsuccessful and has been just a second lieutenant until now. Hearing that someone in the distant and mysterious East actually knew his name, and paid 5,200 silver dollars a year, Ludendolf finally made up his mind to take a look. However, Ludendolf wanted to see this army first. If it was really like the Japanese said, "It's all opium ghosts, all thin and dry, and their clothes were torn", Ludendolf would definitely turn his head back.

Zhao Gang did not ask Ludendorff to wait for a long time, and specially arranged a simple military parade: "One, one, one, one, two, three, four..."

The slogans made everyone excited, and a long-lost blood burned on their bodies. The soldiers seemed to have stepped onto the killing field. Through the heads surrounding them, they seemed to see the battlefield filled with smoke. Ludendorf nodded slightly.

“正步走!”

The leader issued an order, and a row of people kept the rows neatly from the corner of their eyes, with standard and skillful movements. When they walked to the viewing table, they changed from step to regular steps. They were originally resistant to the rifle on their shoulders, and they were in their hands. The tip of the bayonet pointed directly in front of them. The whole team was like one person, and they kicked the entire journey with awesome pace. Looking at the team's neat steps, Ludendorf stopped nodding.

Next, five military confrontations were practiced in units of companies: 200-meter large-caliber rifle shooting, 500-meter obstacle running, 50-meter mountain climbing, grenade throwing and far throwing, men's 8-kilometer cross-country running and women's 4-kilometer cross-country running. Some of these events, Ludendorf had never even heard of, but the intuition of an excellent soldier told him the value of these events.

Ludendolf stood up excitedly and said to the translator: "God, can you tell me who invented these things?"

A standard Bavarian accent replied: "Second Lieutenant, I invented it. Do you still feel satisfied?"

Ludendolf was shocked because the Chinese official answered his question. He asked a question to hide his anxiety.

"Zhao, you won't be picking out the best soldiers for me to show."

赵刚放声大笑:

"Second lieutenant, you can pick 500 people at will and let them do the same moves and see what's the difference?"

Ludendorf didn't believe it, so he really stepped down and picked hundreds of people, but the hundreds of people performed better than the previous group.

When Ludendorff returned to the parade, his eyes shone with a glimmer of happiness. He saluted Zhao Gang:

"Zhao, if you hand over these hundreds of people to me, I will definitely stay happily."

四周的德国军官一阵大笑,这样精锐的部队在德国都十分少见,而一个少尉是不可能当上这种部队的营级指挥官的.鲁登道夫面红耳赤,却坚定的用鹰鹫一般的眼睛看着赵刚.

Zhao Gang did not laugh, but stood up very seriously

"Lt. Rudendolf, if I hand over these hundreds of people to you and ask you to train them into invincible warriors, would you dare to take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Ludendorff knelt down on one leg, caressed his heart with his right hand, and said solemnly:

“赵,以家族荣誉作证.”

赵刚大喜,急忙将鲁登道夫扶起

"General, I think as the battalion commander of an elite Armored Division, the rank of a major should be more reasonable."

Others, Zhao Gang, also awarded the company commander positions respectively. If he performed well during the three-month internship period, he would be promoted to battalion commander and even regiment commander. Ludendorf and others ascended the sky in one step, so they naturally tried their best to use all the advanced tactics learned in Germany to suppress the enemy army. However, this arrangement caused dissatisfaction among the Tianjin faction in the army. In order to express his dissatisfaction, these people controlled the grassroots troops and secretly made bad things, disrupting the exercise several times. Wu Junsheng was originally a rough man, and he would only play a role in such a conflict, but the conflict became increasingly larger and larger. Finally, it broke out during an exercise.

Zhao Gang on the exercise platform held a telescope in his hand and looked at the bizarre exercise in front of him in a daze. According to the original plan, the content of this exercise was: a certain country's army attacked the Blue Army's Red Army and refused to defend Lianshanguan-Motianling-Arsenal. This was originally just a series of preview battles in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. In the future, there will be exercises in Jinzhou, Lushun offensive and defense, as well as the Huayuankou attack and Incheon landing battle.

But what Zhao Gang did not expect was that the Blue Army's vanguard had extremely strong combat power, and he took down Lianshan Pass after several short-range charges. Then he detoured sideways, bypassed the powerful fire fortress on the front of the arsenal, and advanced on the side. He took down the arsenal in less than half an hour. Then he attacked from the relatively flat back mountain of Motianling, and then covered the artillery fire and smoothed the defenders with a single scheming.

On the other hand, the performance of the defenders made Zhao Gang feel heartbroken. The weather was cold and the defenders were defending the natural dangers, accounting for 90% of the time and place, but they were beaten by the enemy so hard that they could not find the north. Can such an army defend their country?

Zhao Gang's face was gloomy, his sharp eyes swept around quickly, and he found Wu Junsheng in the corner.

Seeing that Wu Junsheng couldn't escape, he had to bite the bullet and walked out, and beat him while walking haha:

“操,那个小崽子真是厉害…….”

"Pa" Zhao Gang slapped the table hard, and the tea on the table jumped up suddenly. Everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, and they stood up straight, for fear that Zhao Gang's anger would come to his head.

Zhao Gang stood up and didn't speak, but just stared at Wu Junsheng with his eyes. If his eyes could kill people, Wu Junsheng must have died countless times.

After a while, Zhao Gang suppressed his anger and asked loudly: "Wu Junsheng, I'll ask you how many people are there at Lianshan Pass."

吴俊升想了一会:“大约2500人.”

赵刚不置可否,继续问道:

"How many lines of defense are there in Lianshan Pass, how many traffic trenches, how many class firepower points, how many company-level firepower points, and how many heavy firepower support?"

吴俊升有些懵了,话就含糊起来

"There are four defense lines, twenty-three traffic trenches, 150 class firepower points, 25 consecutive levels, and 6 heavy firepower support."

"Okay, let me ask you again, what is the coverage range of heavy firepower support? What is the range of firepower points in the squad company?"

"This" Wu Junsheng couldn't answer, and felt that he had lost face, so he simply stared at his cow-like eyes and stopped talking.

赵刚看吴俊升不说话了,更是生气:

"There are a total of 4,200 people in Lianshan Pass, 16 defense lines, 213 traffic trenches, 750 class fire points, 132 company levels, and 46 heavy fire support. The coverage range of heavy fire support is 1500-6500 meters, and the coverage range of squad company levels is 150 meters and 350 meters each."

Zhao Gang spoke faster and faster. He was originally ambitious and wanted to build an Eastern Maginot, so he was particularly concerned about these data. Such a strong pass could withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people, and was captured by thousands, which means that this was not a matter of command. There should be conflicts in some places, so some people dared to play tricks under their noses.

"You said that such a barrier can be captured by a few hundred people and three charges?"

Although Wu Junsheng was careless, he knew something was wrong when he saw the exercises like this, and his face turned pale.

"Inspector Zhao, I think it may be because the brothers are not familiar with the terrain, so..."

Zhao Gang showed no mercy. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 will be coming in another year. If he doesn't cut the mess quickly and handle the conflicts within the army, he may not be able to resist the whistling Japanese army. In history, the more than 100,000 elite troops of the Huai Army were defeated without even holding it up for a month.

想到这里,赵刚对吴俊升说:

"Old Wu, go check the personnel in charge of the defense. Even the officers below were cleared out. No bastard with too much selfishness can stay in Pingkou Army."

The handling of this exercise greatly shocked those who had distracting thoughts. Seeing those who wanted to blackmail the Germans were eliminated, the remaining people had to obey honestly. The Germans were originally full of grievances, and they were very impressed by Zhao Gang's impartial handling, and they devoted greater enthusiasm in the training. Although some results that were inconsistent with the original design occurred in the subsequent exercises, they were all due to military calculation errors. No one dared to make a fool in front of Zhao Gang's sharp eyes, which significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the Pingkou Army.
Chapter completed!
