It turns out that Liu Lang also divided disabled veterans into three categories.
The first category is those who have mildly lost the ability to work. Their lower limbs are intact and they can walk normally and can take care of themselves. These veterans will be kept at the base and enjoy normal soldier treatment according to their original ranks. They will also be responsible for various military projects in the new barracks.
Chief and deputy instructor.
Why not select able-bodied veterans as instructors? Liu Lang's reason is also very simple. Only soldiers who have been on the edge of life and death can better understand the value of life. Although they can no longer bear the gun and go to the battlefield due to their physical disabilities,
, but they know better how to tell the recruits how to do their best to preserve themselves at the moment of life and death. At this point, veterans with normal health are inferior to them.
There is also a type of severely disabled soldiers with missing lower limbs and even missing upper limbs. Although there are not many such veterans, there are more than a dozen. Liu Lang also left them at the base. But it is not in vain. They will perform various tasks.
The storage supervisors of equipment, equipment, and logistics material warehouses, their role is to supervise, and they only need to have a relatively clear mind. Their treatment is the same as that of veterans who serve as instructors.
The veterans between the two were sent by Liu Lang in groups of two to three to various administrative natural villages in Guangyuan to become official residents of Guangyuan. The independent group came forward to purchase land locally and distribute it. At the same time, Liu Lang
Lang signed an order in the name of the need to prevent bandits in the Guangyuan area. Each village must send out thirty strong men to form a village guard, organize various military trainings during slack periods, and issue certain firearms, equipment, and subsidies.
These veterans distributed in various villages naturally became the leaders and instructors of the village guard. Because Liu Lang's plan is very clear, all the firearms used in these trainings and the training subsidies will be controlled by these veterans.
With guns and money, and the backing of Liu Lang, the leader of the independent group, even the original village tyrants and the clan chiefs who spoke for themselves in the village had to stay out of their way for the time being.
In other words, once Liu Lang's more than 400 disabled veterans were released, they took control of 200 villages of various sizes in Guangyuan. This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that each village has 30 guards
Calculating the number of troops, the militiamen who have undergone semi-regular military training can form a regular army of more than 6,000 people at any time. In this era, farmers who can't train to shoot more than five rounds of bullets a week can go to the battlefield, not to mention Liu Lang's plan
Among the village guards, there are at least four months of military training every year.
Moreover, the more than 400 veterans who were released abroad did not work in vain. In addition to being allocated land, they also received a special allowance of five yuan per month.
If the previous recruit training plan has opened the eyes of Yu Xiancheng and others, this disabled veteran resettlement plan is even more perfect. Not only does each disabled veteran have an income that is no less than that of others, but they also rely on
His own labor earned him a normal life while maintaining his dignity as a soldier.
At the same time, Liu Lang also used this to prove that his promise to the soldiers was by no means empty talk. He would not abandon every seriously injured soldier. Not only would he enjoy the due allowances for disabled soldiers, but the independent regiment headquarters base would also arrange corresponding work
Get paid. Looking at the military factories, steel mills, garment factories and military bases that will be built in the next few years mentioned in Liu Lang's plan, no one doubts that Liu Lang will not be able to arrange so many people in the future.
What's even more frightening is that after doing this, Liu Lang actually gained control of Guangyuan, the gateway to northern Sichuan. No disturbance in Guangyuan could escape his sight, and he also gained more than 6,000 reserve troops.
, even if all the more than a thousand independent regiments are wiped out, as long as the skeleton is still there, he can pull up four independent regiments at a faster speed, and he can still go into battle immediately.
It solves the independent group's worries and can also gain absolute control over the entire Guangyuan. Undoubtedly, this is a genius plan.
Ordinary soldiers did not expect to have so many superiors, but what they saw were tangible benefits. They no longer had to worry about the consequences of being disabled after joining the army. Their fat commander had proven with actual actions that he would not abandon them.
his soldiers.
The disabled veterans who came to Guangyuan with the Independence Regiment were naturally moved to tears. They had been lost and worried for a long time along the way. They didn't know how the new commander, who was both kind and harsh, would arrange for them. Perhaps it would be best for them.
The result is that they are left to eat and die in the independent group, and are raised like useless people.
But now, they can still stand up tall and prove their dignity as soldiers and live by themselves.
Life is more than what is in front of you. Perhaps it is too literary and artistic and not many people can understand it, but human beings who have satisfied their belly needs often start to pay attention to the shine on their faces, whether they are a trafficker or a village fool.
Once the two plans were announced, it was announced that the independent group had officially entered a period of rapid development.
The 1,700 recruits, including Liu Lang's orderly soldier Sanchuan and the still-hanging little cook soldiers Gou Defu and Mo Xiaomao, all from the independent regiment who had not experienced the battlefield, all entered the recruit training camp.
Liu Lang serves as the chief instructor of the training camp, with Yu Xiancheng and Chi Dakui as his deputies. 170 of the 500 veterans are selected as recruit class monitors. Their task is to supervise and record the recruits. At the same time, some unnecessary subjects are removed, such as
They will also participate in training with the new recruits in military training projects such as shooting, bayonet fighting, and building field fortifications.
As usual, 1,700 recruits and 170 veterans were divided into 10 recruit companies. The young second lieutenant who had previously led 700 disabled veterans and the other nine lieutenants with the best performance during this period were assigned as commanders of the recruit companies. In addition to the basic
Zhao Ergou, who has been recognized as the commander of the artillery company of the independent regiment, and the remaining five of the six remaining soldiers who originally followed Liu Lang, are still selected. Although they were only the top soldiers in the past, the performance of Liu Dazhu and the other three in these days
, whether it is a 150-mile rapid march or six days of devil training and restraint of their own soldiers, their selection is beyond reproach.
Although they are just temporary recruit company commanders, almost everyone knows that as long as they don't make any big mistakes, it is certain that these ten people will be promoted. It is even very likely that they will be the company commanders of the independent regiment in the future.
The remaining officers and veterans were not idle either. While completing the military training arranged by Liu Lang, they had to complete a military task assigned to them by Liu Lang on the opposite mountain, a term they had never heard of -
---Construct a reverse slope tunnel.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand. They have to learn to build fortifications anyway. No one has any complaints. Veterans who have experienced a war know very well that without good fortifications, when enemy shells come, no matter how strong a soldier is, they can only become
scum.
Liu Lang and the two future battalion-level military officers of the Independent Regiment, Yu Xiancheng and Chi Dakui, were all focused on the new barracks. The one who could lead the remaining veterans was naturally Liang Wenzhong.
Liang Wenzhong was confused. According to the map Liu Lang drew for him, he had to block the enemy on the mountain, but he had to build a tunnel on the mountainside on the back of the mountain. What was the tactical need for this?
Liu Lang laughed, didn't explain much, let them think for themselves, and told them that the tunnel would be used in a military exercise for new recruits in three months' time.
Seeing that no valuable clues could be obtained, Liang Wenzhong had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
After arranging all the matters, Liu Lang finally sat down and took a sip of water. Then he saw another trouble coming. Liu Lang was not only a little bit dizzy.
