Chapter 166 Fugu Army Adjustment (Part )

After Su Shunnian left, Lin Feng continued to consider the adjustment of the army. Now that there were 1,500 more recruits, there was more room for adjustment.

After building the Shenmu defense line, Fugu is considered the rear. One of the reasons for the deployment of troops is to consider the defense needs in the direction of the grassland. Although the Left Banner has formed an alliance with itself and the Right Banner has been defeated, the prevention of foreign invasion cannot be relaxed at any time.

The other is the requirement for mobile operations. When the Shenmu Combat Brigade is defending, the rear must have the strength and ability to go forward to support at any time, or to penetrate behind enemy lines to carry out strikes.

Therefore, Lin Feng considered re-adjusting Fugu's forces into two types: defensive and mobile combat forces.

One is to establish the Fugu garrison brigade, with a strength of 1,600 people. It has three garrison battalions: Fugu, Zhenqiangbao, and Tieshibao. Each battalion has a strength of 500. Fang Tiezhu serves as the brigade general and the commander-in-chief of the Fugu camp. Yang Heng served as the commander-in-chief of Qiangbao Camp, and Zhou Zhiwei served as the commander-in-chief of Tieshibao Camp.

After all, Fang Tiezhu is a veteran, has good skills, and is absolutely loyal. It is okay to let him take charge of defense, so it is time to improve his status in the army.

The other is to form the Fugu combat brigade, with a strength of 500 people. It has four battalions: the first cavalry battalion, the second cavalry battalion, the first mobile battalion, and the second mobile battalion, with each battalion having a strength of people.

At the same time, preparations are also being made to set up an artillery post directly under the brigade, equipped with a batch of artillery, to serve as fire support in wartime.

This combat brigade will be the main force of the Zhenming Army's offensive operations in the future. Regarding the selection of brigade generals, Lin Feng went through the people at hand and felt that none of them were suitable.

At present, only Zhou Rui, the original garrison of Zhenqiang Fort, has relatively strong command ability, but his qualifications are not enough to serve as the largest brigade general of the Zhenming Army.

So Lin Feng decided to concurrently serve as the commander of the Fugu combat brigade. He transferred Zhou Ruilai to serve as his deputy and commander of the first cavalry battalion. Hong Tu served as the commander of the second cavalry battalion. The commander of the first mobile battalion was Peng Xing, who had outstanding performance in the attack on Yulin City. Serve.

Considering that the current total strength is not that large, the Second Mobile Battalion has temporarily formed a recruit training team, with Zan Hua Lu Jun from the Staff Department taking charge.

Alas, with this expansion of the army, we feel that we are short of men, especially generals who can stand alone.

It seems that it is necessary to organize a round of talent selection and start a reserve officer training class to solve the problem of shortage of generals.

After such integration, the troops remaining in Fugu and nearby areas were organized into two brigades, which made it easier to manage.

Just when Lin Feng was having a headache preparing the generals, Wu Yunna arrived. She didn't need anyone to come in to inform her, she just barged in like a fiery cloud.

"Brother Lin, I'm here, do you miss me?" Prairie Lark was still so straightforward.

Lin Feng awkwardly looked at the outer compartment. Li Rushi was inside. When the two met, would sparks hit the earth?
  "Sister Yun Na is here, let's go home for dinner together tonight." Sure enough, before Lin Feng could reply, Li Rushi had already walked in. This woman's sense of smell is really sensitive.

"It's good to go home for dinner. I won't leave when I come here this time. I brought my own escort team. I want to help Brother Lin conquer the world." Wu Yunna said with her head held high, not to mention that she exercises regularly. The figure is still very good.

"Yun Na, did your forehead agree with your coming?" Lin Feng asked.

"I told Ezhan that you have rebelled against the imperial court. If we lose the Zuo Banner's wool and can't sell it, he will allow me to bring my own bodyguards to help you." Wu Yunna happily said Said, as if I am very smart.

"How many people did you bring here?" Lin Feng asked.

"I brought about thirty female cavalrymen from the tribe. They are all my guards."

When Lin Feng heard that this was a good idea, he might as well let Wu Yunna take charge of the Mongolian cavalry camp. She was the princess of the tribe, and the Mongols would not disobey her. Isn't it enough to have several battalions like this, and Wu Yunna is his own woman, so loyalty is no problem.

So Lin Feng said: "Our lark has arrived just in time. You will be able to attend the next military meeting. I will ask you to lead the Mongolian cavalry. Do you dare to lead it?"

"Tch, of course we Mongolian girls also need to be able to march and fight. It's not difficult to manage a battalion of cavalry. Besides, my guard captain Urentuya is a good person in managing troops." Wu Yunna said confidently said.

"Okay, I'll let you try it. If you don't succeed, you will be dismissed." Lin Feng said.

"Just try it, I'm not afraid." Wu Yunna looked fearless.

Li Rushi saw the two of them discussing the issue of leading troops. She couldn't get in the conversation at all, so she stepped aside aggrievedly and almost burst into tears.

Lin Feng saw it, walked over and took Li Rushi's hand and said, "What's wrong with Xiaoshi?"

"Brother Lin, am I useless? I can't help you with anything." Li Rushi said in despair.

"No, the paperwork you organized was very neat and it helped me a lot."

"Really, Brother Lin, please don't coax me." Li Rushi said happily.

"Of course I'm not coaxing you. You are indeed the most attentive and well organized. You and Yun Na have their own strengths. Yun Na can lead troops to fight, but she can't handle paperwork. Although you can't lead troops to fight, you can handle paperwork. It’s also very important.” Lin Feng said. "Yes, Sister Rushi, let's help Brother Lin conquer the world together, and we can all be princesses in the future." The little beauty from the prairie has great ambitions.

"Haha, we don't have to do any work today. Let's go home for dinner." Lin Feng interrupted the two of them at the right time, and the three of them returned to Lin's house in the county town together.

the next day.

The east courtyard of the mansion is the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.

After Lin Feng's consideration was basically mature, he asked Lin Jiakang to notify the generals of the Zhenming Army in Fugu to come over for a meeting to discuss the adjustment and reorganization of the army.

The generals who stayed in Fugu all came over. Lin Feng naturally sat at the top. Wu Yunna sat next to him. Her soldier captain Wu Rentuya stood upright behind. She was tall and slightly dark-skinned. His appearance can only be considered average, but he has a heroic spirit.

Sitting on both sides of the lower head were Fang Tiezhu, Fang Xiaoyu, Gao Rui, Tu Hong, Zhou Zhiwei, Peng Xing, Yang Heng, Lu Jun and others. Fang Dashan was also called to attend the meeting this time.

Lin Feng watched everyone sit down, took a sip of tea and said: "Everyone knows that we occupied the sacred tree some time ago, and the situation we are facing has changed a lot now.

Last time I integrated the Zhenming Army forces over there in Shenmu, now we also need to integrate the military forces in Fugu to better meet the needs of the next war.

Lu Jun, as the Chief of Staff, please first inform everyone about the current strength of our Zhenming Army. "

Lu Jun immediately stood up and replied: "Okay, sir, our Zhenming Army currently has the Shenmu Combat Brigade in the direction of Shenmu, with an establishment of 1600 people, the Second Guard Battalion, with an establishment of 1000 people, and the Shenmu Garrison Battalion, with an establishment of 500 people, with a total strength of 3100 people.

In the direction of Fugu, not counting the Governor's personal guard, we have 500 people from the 500st Cavalry Battalion, 500 people from the Fugu garrison, 200 people from the Zhenqiangbao garrison, and people from the Tieshibao garrison. There were a total of people.

Fang Dashan's 1st Guard Battalion was transferred to the Zhenming Group in accordance with the decision of the Zhenming Group's shareholders' meeting, and will no longer be considered an army under the Zhenming Army. "

"Okay, just now Lu Zanhua informed everyone about the strength of our Zhenming Army. Currently, the strength in Fugu direction is seriously insufficient, so I have asked the county government to recruit 1500 new soldiers to supplement.

Based on the current strength of Fugu, I decided to consolidate all our troops into two brigades.

The first is the Fugu Defense Brigade, which is mainly responsible for the defense tasks in the Fugu Defense Area, especially in the direction of the grassland. Fang Tiezhu will be responsible for the garrison brigade.

It consists of three battalions: Fugu garrison camp, Zhenqiangbao garrison camp and Tieshibao garrison camp.

Among them, Fang Tiezhu concurrently serves as the general manager of the Fugu garrison camp, Yang Heng serves as the general manager of the Zhenqiangbao camp, and Zhou Zhiwei serves as the general manager of the Tieshibao camp.

Each battalion has five hundred men each. At present, Fugu Camp and Zhenqiangbao Camp are both at full strength. One hundred veterans from each camp will be deployed for other purposes, and the remaining positions will be supplemented by new soldiers recruited by the county government.

There are currently only 200 people in the Tieshibao camp. Zhiwei will take 100 recruits with him when he returns, and the remaining vacancies will be recruited from Hequ. "

"Yes, the miners on the other side of the river are not in good condition, so replenishing troops will not be a problem." Zhou Zhiwei stood up and replied.

"Okay, just organize and replenish them from Hequ. In this way, the three battalions of the Fugu garrison brigade will have a total of 1500 people, and the brigade's direct personnel will recruit another 100 people, for a total of 1600 people. Tiezhu, you must seize the time to complete the reorganization." Lin Feng explained. .

"Understood!" Fang Tiezhu accepted the order with great joy. Of course he was happy to be promoted.

"The second army to be formed is the Fugu combat brigade, with a temporary strength of 2200 people. It will be built into the largest and most mobile combat force under the Zhenming Army. I will serve as the brigade commander myself, and Zhou Rui will serve as my commander. Deputy.

The Fugu Combat Battalion has two cavalry battalions and two mobile battalions. The first cavalry battalion is mainly composed of Mongolian cavalry. Wu Yunna, the princess of Ordos Left Banner, serves as the battalion commander and Urentuya serves as the battalion deputy. The Second Cavalry Battalion was mainly composed of Han cavalry, with Hong Tu as the battalion commander and Zhou Cong as the battalion deputy.

The original cavalry battalion plus the thirty or so people brought by Wu Yunna will be split into two battalions. The gap in strength is relatively large. You should give priority to selecting new recruits who can ride horses to supplement them.

As for the two mobile battalions, there is currently no foundation. According to what I just said, 200 veterans will be drawn from the garrison brigade, 100 veterans will be drawn from the guard camp in Fang Dashan, 700 new recruits will be added, and two mobile battalions will be formed.

Among them, Zhou Rui serves as the battalion commander of the first mobile battalion, and Peng Xing serves as the battalion commander of the second mobile battalion.

The direct artillery posts of the Fugu Combat Battalion will not be formed yet, and will be drawn into groups after the training of each battalion's troops is completed. " Lin Feng then announced.

"Thank you for your trust, sir. We will swear allegiance to you to the death!" Zhou Rui and others stood up and swore.

"Okay, the main military force in the Fugu direction will be formed like this first. There are two brigades with a total of about 3800 people. However, there are many new recruits, especially the combat brigades. We must pay close attention to training and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" Lin Feng emphasized.
