This batch of formal class students are selected from low-level officers in the entire army. The reason why the selection scope is limited to military officers and civilian officers is that they all have a common characteristic, that is, they already have the ability to

A relatively good cultural level.

In the Baoxiang Army, in fact, as long as you are literate, it is basically impossible to be a top soldier. Even if you only know one or two hundred common words, you will be trained as a technical unit and become a non-commissioned officer.

When you join the army, if your education level is higher and you can read and write, then you can be given a warrant officer on the spot, and you can become a deputy captain or other low-level deputy officer. You can learn to fight and be trained as an officer, and you will be almost the same.

No matter how bad he is, he is still a captain.

In other words, ordinary soldiers in the Baoxiang Army do not have a relatively high level of education, because those with a relatively high level of education are basically officers, and even worse, they are civilian officers.

Therefore, the formal class students in the Baoxiang Army can only be selected from the original low-level officers.

On the other hand, the newly opened crash course in the Baoxiang Army is specifically for non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service. It not only teaches military theory, but also ordinary cultural courses.

The officer academy in the Baoxiang Army now has formal classes with full-time study, three months of theoretical study, and three months of internship.

There is a class held every half month, and several classes coexist at the same time to provide refresher courses for officers of various units.

There are still three months of schooling, no internship arrangements, but cultural courses are included, a crash course specifically for meritorious non-commissioned officers and soldiers.

Three different officer training courses cover different officer groups to cultivate as many rural-protecting army officers as possible.

Luo Zhixue also personally gave instructions regarding the rank arrangement of these military academy students. For example, for the crash course, because they are all non-commissioned officers and soldiers, they will be awarded warrant officers once they enroll and second lieutenants after graduation.

It is worth noting that in the Chu Empire, the rank of warrant officer is temporarily exclusive to military students, or to be precise, students in the crash course.

There is no military rank arrangement for students in the advanced training class. After all, they are all on the job for further training. After half a month or more, they will return to the original army and continue to serve.

The students in the formal class, the first batch of students, are all selected from current military officers because of their special origins. Naturally, it is impossible to treat them as ordinary military students.

When it comes to arranging the military ranks of these people, the military has also adopted a special method, awarding them corresponding titles based on their original titles, and promoting them by one or even two levels.

After all, the Baoxiang Army had not yet implemented a military rank system when they formally entered the school. At that time, they had various positions, many of them had already served as sentry officers and even a few were battalion commanders. <

/p>

Their military ranks cannot be arranged uniformly, because their original positions are matched with different military ranks. If they are uniformly arranged as captain, then for most of them, instead of being promoted, they will be demoted...
p>

And the unified arrangement of being a major is too big a step for many people who were just team officers, and a few people have not yet been promoted.

And in the past few months when the Baoxiang Army has been greatly expanding, not being promoted is equivalent to being demoted.

Don't you see, Han Ziping was just a battalion commander during the Yuzhou Campaign, but now a few months have passed and he is already a brigadier general.

Due to this special situation, the military rank arrangement for the first batch of formal class students is also a special arrangement, and is directly arranged individually based on their original positions.

However, when they went for internship, the lowest was a captain, half were majors, and a few were lieutenant colonels.

Whether these people will be promoted from internship to graduation depends on their performance during the internship and military merit.

But what I have to say is that their future is bright and shining.

There are now many captains and major-level officers in the Baoxiang Army, but apart from this group of formal class students, there are not many others that Luo Zhixue can personally pay attention to.

However, the opportunity is there, but it depends on them whether they can seize it.

Among the first batch of formal class students, the arrangement of military ranks is more troublesome, but it will not happen in the second batch.

The 100 people selected from the first batch of formal class students basically skipped all the suitable low-level officers with high cultural level, while the remaining students with good cultural level who did not enter the formal class will gradually enter the advanced class.

, and now they have basically been promoted to relatively high positions, and are no longer suitable to continue studying full-time.

As for non-commissioned officers and soldiers with low educational levels, they are not suitable as students in formal classes. Even if they have studied in literacy classes, their educational level is too low and teaching them is too troublesome. For them, they are all arranged to study in crash courses.

of.

Based on this situation, the second batch of formal class students of the Army Officer Academy were recruited directly from the society. The recruitment was not smooth at the beginning, and there were not many students recruited from August to September.

However, this situation changed greatly after the formal founding of the Chu Empire.

In September, Luo Zhixue moved various institutions to Hanyang one after another, and the officer academy also moved here. At this time, the Chu Empire was established and Dengji Enke was opened.

In that short period of time, Hanyang City gathered a large number of scholars, and most of these people could not actually pass the examination.

With so many failed students, the military is naturally not willing to let them go. Even if they are children, they still have a certain level of education. If they are caught, oh, no, they can directly study military theory without having to go through the crash course.

Take a period of cultural classes first.

Not to mention, the military actually recruited 70 or 80 young scholars who were willing to give up writing and join the army. The quality of this group of students is quite high. After all, these people have quite good cultural standards and can teach various military theories.

Easy.

The second batch of formal class students includes more than 40 people who were enrolled in the previous batch, and more than 80 people were enrolled during the Dengji Enke period, making a total of more than 120 people.

Their school system is longer, with six months of theoretical study at school and three months of internship, making the total school system nine months.

Mainly due to the addition of basic military skills training such as physical fitness. After all, these people used to be scholars, unlike the first batch of formal class students who were originally low-level officers and had strong military skills.

The second batch of formal classes will have six months of theoretical study at school and will officially start in October. They will have to wait until they enter the army for internship, which will be at least April.

However, the Dachu Empire will not wait until all of them have finished studying in school before enrolling students. It is expected that in two months, after the preparation work is completed, the third batch of formal class students will be enrolled.

After all, today's rural protection army is short of officers, especially officers with high cultural level and new tactical literacy.

Therefore, we formulated a strategy of enrolling one batch of students every three months, maintaining the rhythm of two batches of students studying in school at the same time, and one batch of students doing internships.

——

The Army Officer Academy has provided the Baoxiang Army with a large number of officer talents who understand new tactics through three different officer training systems: the official version, the refresher course, and the crash course.

Especially after the first batch of formal students went to various military units for internships, although most of them still served as staff officers or deputy positions, they still brought considerable changes to the Baoxiang Army.

On the front line of the landing beach on the other side of Shuilin Town, Lieutenant Colonel Ren Yuanqing, deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, was among the first batch of formal class students.

Moreover, among the many students in the first batch of formal classes, their positions are relatively high, and the military rank awarded after internship is also one of the highest.

Before Ren Yuanqing officially entered the Officer Academy in July, he had already served as deputy battalion commander in the main force at that time, and participated in a series of previous battles with the army.

Because Ren Yuanqing was born as a child among refugees, after the formal school was established, he was able to enroll in the formal class because of his relatively high educational level.

After completing three months of intense theoretical study, Ren Yuanqing was assigned to serve as the deputy commander of the First Infantry Regiment of the old army because he ranked among the best in the theoretical courses during the graduation examination, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel.

After taking office, he soon joined the troops in participating in the current cross-river battle.

During yesterday's daytime battle, Ren Yuanqing, as the deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, was responsible for commanding the regiment's 3rd Infantry Battalion and the division's 1st Baggage Battalion of more than a thousand people, and was responsible for the left-wing offensive.

The left-wing troops commanded by Ren Yuanqing performed very well. When the battle began, Ren Yuanqing commanded the three two-and-a-half-pound field artillery assigned to him, and coordinated with his own infantry to advance rapidly.

Its infantry and artillery synergy is almost as standard as textbooks and has great effects.

After the enemy retreated and the cavalry troops stepped forward to intercept, Ren Yuanqing's left wing troops were the first to step forward to cooperate with the cavalry to complete the outflank and force the enemy's main force to surrender.

If we talk about the results of the battle, it actually doesn't mean much. After all, the enemy they faced was very weak in terms of combat effectiveness during the day yesterday.

To exaggerate, with the strength of the main forces such as the assault battalion and the 1st Infantry Regiment at that time, even if the commander was a pig and fought with his eyes closed, he would still be able to win a complete victory.

The reason why Lieutenant Colonel Ren Yuanqing performed outstandingly in yesterday's battle is because of the tactics and tactics displayed by the troops he commanded.

The new textbook-like tactics delighted Major General Li Chengtong, the commander of the First Division above.

The next day, Major General Li Chengtong also personally led the division across the river, and immediately ordered the troops to start advancing in depth, and at the same time sent reconnaissance cavalry to search for the Ming army, especially the Ming army coming from the direction of Wuchang City.

When sending troops to advance, Major General Li Chengtong personally arranged for Lieutenant Colonel Ren Yuanqing to lead the 3rd Infantry Battalion and the 1st Baggage Battalion, with one cavalry post and one artillery post to form a separate regiment-level battle group located on the right wing of the army, that is, to the south.
