Chapter 402 Four Reorganizations
During previous battles, in order to increase the number of people in the battle formation, many logistics soldiers and civilian soldiers were added to the military formation and played the role of combat soldiers.

This time the reorganization was decided directly, making some positions part-time, reducing the number of logistics and civilian personnel, and increasing the proportion of combat troops.

"Indeed, there are too many civilian jobs in the regiment headquarters. There are not so many daily affairs for these civilian jobs to do. The work in the army is still very simple. In addition to training, it is training." Sun Li agreed.

"Come, let's discuss together how to determine this establishment."

Everyone began to discuss and express their opinions, and it was not finalized until night.

The smallest organization is still the group, a group of three people, as the smallest combat unit.

The organization above the group is a class. There are three groups plus a squad leader, and there are ten people in a class.

The organization above the squad is platoon, including three squads of musketeers, and the elite soldier category has been cancelled.

Because it was discovered in these battles that with the bonus of artillery, it was difficult for the enemy to get in front of one's own military formation under the fire of muskets.The role of the melee warriors is getting less and less. In addition, muskets can be equipped with bayonets and musketeers can also fight in close combat. The warriors become even more useless.

As weapons and equipment advance, combat arms must also develop accordingly in order to better utilize the power of weapons.

After this reorganization, the musketeers carried a long musket (with a handle bayonet) and a short musket. The armor on their bodies also changed into thin steel armor. The steel armor only protected the chest and back, and eliminated the limbs. The armor, plus the helmet and other odds and ends (water bottle, dry food, etc.), the weight of the entire set of weapons and equipment has been reduced a lot, maintaining a weight of thirty to forty kilograms.

In addition to a platoon leader, three deputy platoon leaders (each with concurrent military law, teaching and merit examination responsibilities), a medical team (a military doctor, two nurses), a communications officer, and a cook, the platoon has a total of 39 people.

The organization above the platoon is a company, with three infantry platoons of 110 and seven people. The company headquarters has a communication team of three people (part-time drummer, flag bearer, and bugler), a medical team of three people, a reconnaissance team of three people, and a cook ( Full-time company headquarters cook), a three-person team of military judge, instructor and merit examiner, one sergeant and one deputy company commander, for a total of 130 two people in a company.

Compared with the third reorganization, the logistics engineer platoon at the platoon headquarters was eliminated, and the logistics work at the platoon level was handled by combat soldiers.Large logistical work is handled by specialized engineering units.

The organization above the company is the battalion, with three infantry companies of 390 six people, a communications team of three people, a medical team of three people, a cook (full-time battalion headquarters cook), battalion-level military judge, instructor and merit examiner A three-person team, a chief and two battalion commanders, a three-person reconnaissance team, and a squad of battalion headquarters guards, a total of 420 people.

This reorganization reduced the medical, communications, cooking and reconnaissance positions at the battalion headquarters, and increased the security force at the battalion headquarters.

Because it was found in actual combat that platoon-level medical and reconnaissance troops can be reasonably deployed by the operations department. According to the new establishment, the medical force of a battalion has reached 42 people, which is very sufficient.The Scout troop reduction was for the same reason.

The reduction in cook positions is simply because there are too many.Under the current establishment, there are more than 400 people in a battalion. If the cooks are pooled together, there will be 13 people, which is more than the establishment of a cooking class.In normal times, soldiers can be arranged to take turns to help with cooking, so platoons, companies, and battalions all have one cook, which is enough.

The last increase in guard strength was to increase the authority of the battalion commander.

When officers manage soldiers, they can't do it themselves, so to manage more than 400 people, only three or five guards are too few. This time, it was increased to one squad.

The cavalry battalion was reduced by the same proportion.

A group of three riders and a group of ten riders.

A platoon has three cavalry squads, plus correspondents, cooks, medical teams (a medic, a veterinarian, and a male nurse), a platoon leader, and three deputy platoon leaders (each with concurrent military law, teaching, and examination responsibilities). ), a total of 39 people.During this reorganization, the logistics class of the cavalry platoon was cancelled. All work such as raising horses was done by the cavalry themselves. Because during the battle, it was discovered that the horses raised by the logistics class were not suitable for the cavalry. The cavalry took care of the horses themselves, leaving the logistics class idle, so it was simply cancelled. Logistics class preparation.

Each person in the cavalry platoon has one person and two horses, including officers and civilians. There are a total of 78 horses in a cavalry platoon.

Previously, a horse was given to civilians, but it was found that it would seriously slow down the overall marching speed of the cavalry platoon. It was like filling a barrel with water. How much water it could hold was determined by the lowest plank.

A company has three cavalry platoons, and a battalion has three cavalry companies. The company and battalion headquarters are the same as the infantry. The cavalry battalion also has 420 people.

The artillery battalion is newly established, and its organization is different from that of the infantry and cavalry battalions.

Ten Jingyan second-year artillery pieces and twenty tiger squatting artillery pieces require 300 people to operate these artillery pieces, and 100 people are needed to take care of the carriages and supplies that transport the artillery pieces.Plus a guard platoon of 39 people, a team of nine military judges, instructors and merit examiners each, a medical team of ten people, a cooking team of 15 people, a communications team of ten people, one battalion commander, and three deputy battalion commanders. An artillery battalion has more than 480 people.

Every artillery has a gunner. The deputy battalion commander is the deputy battalion commander who directs operations at the grassroots level, and the chief battalion commander is the overall commander.

Artillery battalions generally do not disperse operations, so medical, cooking, communications and other civilian functions are concentrated at the battalion headquarters.

Three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion and one artillery battalion, plus 62 people from the regiment headquarters (including three chiefs and two deputy regimental commanders, three military judges, three teaching and performance examination teams, one communication team, and one medical team team, a cooking squad of ten people, a reconnaissance platoon of 30 people, a guard squad of ten people), a field regiment with a total of 2000, 33 soldiers.

This time, seven field regiments were expanded, totaling 560 men.

This reorganization included 360 field soldiers, 980 new recruits, and [-] elite veterans drawn from the garrison arms of eight counties, totaling [-] people.

After the reorganization, Liu Xinqi planned to give Jiao Rui all the remaining 400 people to expand his special operations force to 600 people and reorganize it into an independent battalion.

After another ten days of discussion, the entire reorganization plan was released.
