Chapter 368: Reorganization of the Army (1)

On behalf of the entire battalion, Luo Yue expressed his gratitude to the soldiers transferred out of the first battalion, and wished that they would still maintain a good appearance in the first battalion and achieve a broader future. "And they were asked to sign an autograph on a military flag. Some soldiers couldn't help crying after signing their names, and the scene was quite touching.

When Lin Mu and He Wenjing arrived at the base of the first battalion, they happened to have the farewell of the soldiers, so they did not alarm Luo Yue, but waited on the side.

Luo Yue then welcomed the soldiers who had joined the first battalion, and introduced the soldiers who were promoted, and encouraged the soldiers to train hard and strive to have good performance in previous battles. Then he announced that he would gather at 1 o'clock in the afternoon to participate in the field training of the entire regiment.

Only battalion-level officers knew about the plan to attack Beijing. After all, whether this plan will be implemented depends on the results of the Shanghai negotiations, but the preparations should be made. The whole group will train in the field is an important preparation.

Because the first and second regiments are fully organized, including three combat battalions, one field artillery battalion, equipped with 18 German 1896 Type 77mm field artillery, one howitzer battalion, and 12 German 1898 Type 1o5mm light howitzers, and there is also a regiment-affiliated engineer company, transportation company, logistics support company, communication reconnaissance company, as well as the guard platoon and sanitation platoon directly under the regiment headquarters, with a total force of about 35oo.

Although this army is not large, it has been the largest organization since the founding of the People's Army. Moreover, both regiment commanders have been promoted directly from the company commander. Although they have been the battalion commander in the middle, they have only been 3\4 months. At that time, there were only more than 40 people in one battalion, and now it has almost expanded by nearly 10 times at once. Therefore, how to command the entire regiment to fight, the cooperation between the battalions, the combat battalions and the artillery battalions must naturally strengthen training, otherwise if the Beijing battle is really carried out, it will probably be in chaos. This three-day field training is to train the cooperation and cooperation of the entire regiment.

It was not until this time that Lin Mu and He Wenjing came to Luo Yue and expressed their hope to interview the first battalion.

Luo Yue had received a notice and knew that a reporter came to the military camp to interview today. The 6th Army Command had asked all troops to cooperate with each other. And just now, he saw He Wenjing running around in front of the rostrum, taking photos on and off the stage. However, Luo Yue was not unfamiliar with reporter interviews. In the old time and space, after he was awarded the title of "Sharp Knife Platoon Leader", he had received several interviews. Although they were all military newspapers, he also knew how to deal with reporters and what should be said and what should not be said.

So Luo Yue immediately welcomed Lin Mu and He Wenjing's visit, first introduced the situation of the first battalion to them. He had experienced those battles before, and took them to visit the barracks and answered their questions. And at their request, he called some time travel soldiers and local soldiers to take photos and answer questions.

Facing the camera, the warrior traveled through time was calm and responded properly, and he could not leak water. After all, he had never eaten pork in the old time and space, and he had always seen pigs running. The local warriors had seen this, especially a man wearing one head, carrying something that was unknown to him, and there was also a tall young woman who was wearing something. Her shirt was straight like a bell, but her pants were tightly folded and hooking out her long legs and a curve of her buttocks, which made people dare not put it directly. She even held a long stick and almost stuck it on her face. As a result, they were all extremely nervous and stuttering.

Other Lin Mu and He Wenjing's questions are very simple, namely "Where do you do?" "What did you do before?" "Why do you want to join the People's Army?" "How do you think you are in the People's Army?" "Have you experienced those battles?" etc., are all very common questions. After all, Lin Mu often went to the army for interviews in the old time and space, knowing what to ask and what not to ask.

The answers obtained are similar. The soldiers who participated in the People's Army were basically poor people, and a small number were small merchants or members of the Boxer Rebellion. Most of them joined the People's Army because they were desperate, and some were thankful to the People's Army or to fight against foreigners. Of course, they all said that they were very good in the People's Army, respected, dignified, and had enough food.

The interview lasted for about an hour and a half, but the two of them finally saw the scenes taken by the soldiers from the camera and the camera, which aroused the strong interest of the local soldiers. No one expected that there would be their own images and language in these two strange things. Until Lin Mu and He Wenjing left, they gathered together to discuss it. Some even said if this was a spell.

A veteran who had joined since the People's Army was formed and said disdainfully: "I don't know what magic, what kind of magic do you think it's the Boxer Rebellion? The elders have many strange things, not only these two strange things, some have small cards, not only can print images, but also many other things, as well as lamps that can light up without ignition, and poles that can make sounds. The elders said, this is called science."

The warrior who asked if it was a spell and immediately asked, "What is science?"

The veteran looked at him and said, "Just like the big iron ships of foreigners can float on the water, and the car can run by itself without a horse, and use wires to communicate, these things are not magic, but science and technology. However, the science and technology that foreigners can do, such as big iron ships, fire east chiefs, and some foreigners can do, and they can do it, just like these things that can print real people. We can learn and use them in the future, Li Zhuangyong, the trick you used to play in the group before, don't use them in the People's Army. The elders said that it is called feudal superstition, which is undesirable."

Hearing his disdain for the Boxer Rebellion, Li Zhuangyong was about to refute, but at this moment he felt that his sleeve was being pulled. He turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Haidong, which obviously stopped him from competing with the veterans.

When Li Zhuangyong saw this, he didn't say anything, but squeezed out of the crowd with Jiang Haidong. The two of them came to the side. Li Zhuangyong said angrily: "What's the matter? When I was making a group in Beijing, I saw many princes and waiters. I had been in the palace twice. What's the old man?"

Jiang Haidong advised: "Brother Li, are you still remembering the trouble of the gang? Didn't the chief say that when you joined the People's Army? The Boxer Rebellion was overturned, and it was not a good thing in the People's Army."

Li Zhuangyong smiled bitterly and said, "What if you forget it, then you can forget it? I joined the People's Army because I wanted to avenge the brothers and brothers in the group, kill all the foreigners, and endure the anger of the People's Army."

Jiang Haidong said: "Brother Li, it's not me. When we were in the group, although it seemed lively, it was actually vulnerable. That is, we bullied Ermao, foreign monk, etc. If we really met the foreign army, they were no match for them. And the spells of senior brothers, don't blame us. In fact, they are all scams, such as magical skills to protect the body, and incompetent swords and guns. What's the result? A large number of guns fell down, but when the People's Army fought, it was solid and powerful. Although we didn't follow the People's Army to fight foreigners, you also participated in the fight against bandits. It was so easy to beat the bandits. So I said, since I joined the People's Army, don't think about the group's affairs anymore, and do it well in the People's Army."

After a pause, Jiang Haidong got closer and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the elders came back from overseas this time, not planning to help the Qing Dynasty beat foreigners, but were planning to seize the Qing Dynasty and their own dragon court."

Li Zhuangyong was also startled and said, "Is this true?"

Jiang Haidong said: "I think it should be true. Think about it, the Qing Dynasty was the Manchus who were in the world, and the eldest sons were not Manchus. Why should we protect the Qing Dynasty? They were all descendants of the former Ming Dynasty survivors, and the old subordinates of the country's surname. Now they are just recapturing the ancestors' country. Besides, the eldest sons can defeat foreigners, but even the Qing Dynasty cannot defeat foreigners. That is the opponent of the eldest sons. If you are the eldest sons, will you be willing to be an official in the Qing Dynasty? As the saying goes, 'The emperor takes turns to do it, and we will come to my house next year'. So if we do our best in the People's Army, the eldest sons will really be in the Dragon Court in the future, and we will be considered founding heroes. At least we can have an admiral, and that is really a glorious family."

After hearing Jiang Haidong's words, Li Zhuangyong also became silent. Both of them joined the People's Army after the Qingdao Battle. Because they had worked in the Boxer Rebellion before, had certain combat experience, and had practiced a few tricks. In terms of ability and knowledge, they were much stronger than ordinary farmers, so they were all incorporated into the first battalion.

In the battle to suppress bandits in Jiaozhou Bay, both of them were natives from Shandong, and they ran around Shandong during the Boxer Rebellion. They were familiar with the environment, terrain, and bandits here, and they all performed very well. This time, because the first battalion transferred some soldiers and had a position as a lower-level officer, they were both promoted from ordinary soldiers to squad leader, and under their command, 11 soldiers were in charge.
