The next day, when I arrived at the brigade headquarters, Cui Biao and other people were already waiting.

Everyone talked about military affairs for a while, and then talked about Yang Sen's defeat. Cui Biao, the deputy chief of staff, admired the brigade commander. It was incredible that nineteen divisions and twelve mixed brigades were defeated like this.

Just as they were talking lively, a scout came to report: Commander Li left Yibin with his guards.

"Yang Sen was defeated this time, and he didn't have many soldiers left. This time when Commander Li went to the meeting, it would be dangerous if he showed any behavior that he shouldn't have." Haoren said solemnly: "Isn't there a theory of improper position in Zhouyi?

?The so-called inappropriate position means that your ability is so great, but you want to occupy a higher position, which is dangerous. Therefore, people often suffer from the inability to restrain their desires."

Deputy Chief of Staff Cui Biao asked: "What can happen?"

"Yang Sen has been defeated so far. He is as panic-stricken as a lost dog and has few soldiers and horses in his hands. Under this situation, if Commander Li shows the idea of ​​replacing him, how do you think Yang Sen will treat him?" Haoren asked.

"That would be dangerous." Wang Zhijiang interjected: "If Commander Li is dealt with, he might be able to control our army backhand."

"That's what I mean, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. We have to prepare for the worst." Haoren said: "Old Cui, what are the results of the training and testing of each department?"

"The fourth company ranks first. The scores of the fifth company and the seventh company are almost the same, and they are almost tied for last. Brigadier, what do you think we should do?" Deputy Chief of Staff Cui was very cunning and passed the question to Haoren.

"Old Cui, you are naughty. You can't eliminate two people. If you don't eliminate them, the meaning of competition will be lost. However, we can't care about that now. This trend cannot last forever and it won't be an example next time." After saying that, he changed the topic: "Vice Cui

Chief of Staff, the education work for those prisoners is almost done. They will be organized into various ministries together with the recruits and organized into battalions according to the standards of second-line troops. They will act as battalion commanders. Hey, I don’t know if this is good for you or harming you.

.You are also aware of the example of Yang Sen’s defeat mentioned earlier. It’s really worrying to command a battalion at your current level! If he is a general who is often defeated, how many soldiers will he have to fill in the lives of his soldiers?”

Haoren's emotion made his subordinates look solemn. They all knew their own weight and the responsibilities they shouldered.

"After all, you have been my comrades for many years and can be considered my direct descendants. I will give you a chance and soon I will promote your three regiments to the brigade level, but only this time. From now on, if you haven't become a company commander yet,

The situation of being promoted to battalion commander within a short period of time and without going through a major battle test will never happen again. This is the army after all, and it is nothing to play with, as it will kill people. If there is nepotism, our group will soon die out." Ichiban said.

Hua Haoren spoke with sincerity and sincerity.

Zhang Dejian was also moved and said loudly: "Brigadier, don't worry, we won't let you down. We will try our best."

"Okay, this is what I hope." Haoren said happily: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The top priority is to solve the crisis at hand. The following tasks are assigned: Deputy Chief of Staff Cui will stay at the station to reorganize the troops and lead each battalion to guard the defense area. Special

The team and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments followed me to Yibin County. The special forces team followed me into the city, and the headquarters was located in the old house. The 1st Regiment was hidden outside the city and was on standby, ready to provide support if necessary; the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment were responsible for monitoring those few

A barracks, but don’t alert them. Do you understand?”

"Understood, brigade commander." The four of them stood at attention and replied.

"Okay, go back and prepare immediately. Set off after lunch." Haoren ordered.

Afternoon, Yibin old house.

Haoren walked back and forth in the room, thinking about some details. Don't worry if it's fake. It's hard to predict whether things will change when his little butterfly comes.

"Report to the brigade commander, Commander Li left Niuxi Field an hour ago and rushed back." The soldier came in and reported.

"Continue the investigation and report back at any time." Haoren ordered.

"Yes, brigade commander." The soldier went out to deliver the order.

Haoren shouted to the door: "Li Hu, come in."

"Report, brigade commander." Li Hu walked in quickly.

He called Li Hu forward and gave some careful instructions. Li Hu nodded frequently, turned around and went out.

After a while, Li Hu led his second uncle in.

"Why are you so anxious to see me?" the second uncle asked hurriedly as soon as he came in.

"Second uncle, we are in big trouble, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to find you." Then he whispered in his ear the words he had planned in advance.

Chief of Staff Tong's expression was constantly changing.

Another soldier came to report: "Thirty minutes ago, Commander Li and others were ambushed and died. Fan Shaozeng and others have marched towards Yibin."

Chief of Staff Tong's face changed drastically and he said: "Yang Sen really dares to do this! Hey, that's all, just go ahead and do it."

"Li Hu, act according to plan." Haoren ordered

"Yes, Brigadier" Li Hu turned around and went out.

I made a cup of tea for my second uncle, and the two of them sat and sipped the tea slowly, waiting. So far, things are proceeding according to the historical trend, and Haoren is somewhat relieved.

"Report, Fan Shaozeng and others have entered Yibin and are heading towards the military headquarters." Another soldier reported.

"Yes, I understand. Pack up and prepare to leave." Haoren immediately issued the order.

After a while, gunfire rang out from the direction of the military headquarters and stopped after a short time.

Haoren said to his second uncle: "Second uncle, let's go and clean up the mess."

"Are you so sure?" Chief of Staff Tong asked.

"Li Hu's men are all masters. If they can't handle these things well, then there's no need to mess around." Haoren answered confidently.

When they arrived at the military headquarters, they saw Li Hu walking forward quickly and saying loudly: "Report to the brigade commander that twenty-eight of the enemy were killed and all of Fan Shaozeng and others were captured. This is the prisoner's confession. In addition, our Wang Zhaokui, Yu Mengqun, and Xie Bingzhi

Others were killed in a chaotic battle."

After entering the door, he looked at the scene, and then at the frightened regimental commanders and some people from the staff department. Chief of Staff Tong said: "Fortunately, there is no one-pot mess. Brigadier Hao has made a great contribution this time."

Bring Fan Shaozeng up."

Fan Shaozeng was brought up dejectedly.

"Commander Fan, using such despicable means to kill our army commander is the first of its kind in Sichuan! Tomorrow, Commander Fan's reputation will be heard throughout Sichuan." Chief of Staff Tong said sarcastically.

"No, no, this was handled by Yang Sen. I am here to execute orders." Teacher Fan explained hurriedly.

"Then you have to explain it to the Sichuan people yourself." Chief of Staff Tong waved his hand and asked someone to take him down. Then, he asked officers to notify the officers at the ministry and battalion level to come to the military headquarters for a meeting.

"Let's all sit down, have a sip of tea, and calm down." Chief of Staff Tong said, "If Brigade Commander Hao hadn't come to me this time for some temporary business and discovered the enemy's situation in time, I'm afraid I would have suffered the same fate. Old man,

I really can’t stand the trouble. Everyone, I plan to recommend Brigadier Hao to be the commander of the army. This position cannot be left empty. What do you think?"

A regimental leader asked: "Chief of Staff, why don't you accept this position?"

"I'm so old, I'd better be my chief of staff." Chief of Staff Tong replied calmly.

"Okay, we will follow the arrangement." Everyone nodded in agreement.

The remaining questions are simple. There were originally nine regiment leaders here, two died, and four were left on the scene. There were three who didn't come, which was considered a minority. Since the majority agreed, we had to go with the flow.

The overall situation has been decided, and the next step is reorganization. Haoren transferred Cui Biao to handle these matters.

Haoren also discussed privately with Chief of Staff Tong that the elderly, weak, and those over forty years old should not stay in the army. Of course, those who are in good health and have strong abilities can still stay in the army.

Haoren took out 40% of the shares in the textile factory and gave 20% to his second uncle. The rest was distributed to the officers who came down, which was considered compensation. All other officers went to the military academy to study before leading troops.

The arrangements for those soldiers are simple.

First, the special operations team is arranged to select members and establish a special operations brigade. Then, special units are selected, such as artillery, snipers, machine gunners, etc.; then the first, second, and third regiments are selected; and then some are selected to supplement the original seven groups formed

One battalion was prepared for the establishment of a regiment in the future; the remaining skeletons of three regiments were drawn out and reserved for officers who entered the military academy; another part was allocated to the logistics and engineering troops. The rest were too old and weak and were sent home.

It's over.

After this time, the number of Shetonxiang soldiers increased greatly. After some expansion and reorganization, Haoren’s current total number of troops is:

Three large brigade-level regiments are being prepared:

A squad consists of three combat teams of nine people, plus a machine gunner, an assistant, and the squad leader, a total of twelve people.

A platoon consists of: three squads plus a firepower squad (three light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, one mortar, and one sniper) plus 50 platoon commanders and deputy platoon leaders.

A company consists of: three platoons, a reconnaissance squad, a service squad, a firepower platoon, and the company commander and deputy company commander, a total of 230 people.

A battalion consists of three companies, an artillery company, a baggage company, and a reconnaissance platoon, totaling 1,200 people.

A regiment consists of three battalions, an artillery battalion, a heavy supply battalion, and a reconnaissance company, a total of 6,000 people. It is really a large regiment.

There are a total of 18,000 people in the three regiments. They are currently full.

The ordinary regiment plans to form a total of ten combat regiments, an engineering regiment, a baggage regiment, and a new corps. Each regiment has 1,200 people, totaling about 12,000 people. It is not yet full.

Externally, it is known as the first army, two divisions and four regiments. Haoren serves as the first division; Tong Yigong serves as the second division. Although Hao Ren is appointed as the army commander, it is for internal purposes. But he insists on being invisible to the outside world. Chief of Staff Tong handles all external matters. See the little things.

The attitude was very firm, and Chief of Staff Tong had no choice but to admit it.

After dealing with some messy things, Haoren and Chief of Staff Tong met with Fan Shaozeng again. Commander Fan was straightforward and willing to return to the command of the Second Army.

Haoren shook his head and said: "Mr. Fan, you are doing us injustice. Taking you in now is taking advantage of others' danger and is not what you want. So, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about it when you really want to surrender."

We're going to put you back, but you have to take yourself out first. Otherwise, you won't be able to get around in the future, right?"

Fan Shaozeng came from a humble background, and his favorable impression of Haoren skyrocketed at this time.

The rest is left to Chief of Staff Tong. Contact all parties, describe the development of the matter, condemn Yang Sen's despicable methods, and announce that he will join the Propulsion Front and make extensive friends with all parties, etc.

Otherwise, it is better to say that an honest person is good when he is good; how can he be bad when he is bad?

Go out and suppress the bandits. First pretend to be bandits and do some hard work, robbing money, people, and property. Then march to suppress the bandits openly, and justifiably take over the local people, wealth, and power. Do whatever it takes to deal with enemies and bad guys. As long as you are good to the people.

, there is so much truth to be said in conquering the world.
