The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 477 Use me in the first battle, use me to win (two chapters in one)

Although the New First Army is called the Army in terms of designation, in fact, in terms of the current number of people, it is only equivalent to a division in later generations, or even less than a division.

However, Jiang Chuan's purpose is to set up the new army's shelf first, and wait until the entire battle order is stable in the future before directly filling in personnel to expand the army.

The current commander of the New First Army is Bai Mu, who has a logistics regiment, an artillery regiment, three infantry regiments and other units directly under the army.

In the establishment of the new army, there are currently no cavalry.

It's not that Jiang Chuan thinks cavalry is unimportant, on the contrary, in this era without cars, cavalry is still a very important mobility force, and it is absolutely necessary.

In the later stage, the new army must be equipped with cavalry, and Jiangchuan must equip at least a 3000-man cavalry regiment.

It's just that there is no need to equip it yet, after all, the new army is only in the preliminary preparation process.

After the entire New First Army is on the right track, the cavalry regiment will be added at that time, and the entire New First Army will basically take shape.

With the current level of technology and equipment.Of course, it is impossible to establish more refined arms like the modern army of later generations.So basically there are three major parts, infantry, artillery and logistics, plus some units directly under the military.

The logistics regiment is divided into two battalions, one is the supply battalion and the other is the engineering battalion.

Needless to say, the supply battalion is mainly responsible for the material support and transportation of the entire army, as well as the daily food supply.

The main task of the engineer battalion is to open roads, build bridges, and build fortifications when going out to fight.

At present, it is natural that it cannot be as refined and high-end as the modern army of the later generations. After all, the level of science and technology and the level of industry cannot reach it at all.

There are two squadrons under each battalion, each with 500 soldiers.

Under each squadron, there are five teams under its jurisdiction, each with 100 people.

The artillery regiment has a total number of 2000 people and is equipped with 200 artillery pieces of various types.

And these artillery are all new artillery produced after the system upgrade.

These include field artillery, howitzers, light mortars, and heavy mortars.

All mortars are also attached to the artillery regiment, and have not become squad support weapons like later generations, and are organized in the infantry sequence.

Three infantry regiments, each with 2000 soldiers, and four infantry battalions, each with 500 soldiers.

Under each infantry battalion, there are three infantry companies under its jurisdiction.

Each infantry company has 180 men.

Each infantry company has three infantry platoons, each with 60 men.

Below the infantry platoon is the infantry squad, and each infantry squad has 20 people under its jurisdiction.

It can be seen that although the formation of the entire new army adopts the modern military system, it did not adopt the three-three formation by rote, but made some modifications according to the actual situation.

For example, there is a squad in the back, basically 9 to 10 people, and in the New First Army, each infantry squad has 20 people.

This preparation is mainly considered from the current firepower level.

In the modern army, an infantry squad consists of about 9 to 10 people, including squad snipers, squad firemen, and squad machine gunners. A basic combat team consists of sniper rifles, rifles, and light machine guns.

In terms of fire range, it meets various needs from far to near and fire support.

The reason why each squad of the New First Army has 20 people is because there are no sniper rifles, including machine guns. If we simply follow the number of people in a squad in the modern army of later generations, then the firepower of a squad is obviously too weak .

After all, although the bolt-type rifle is an advanced weapon in this era, it cannot compare with the modern rifles of later generations in terms of range and accuracy.

Therefore, it is more reasonable to prepare 20 people per shift, which can effectively increase the firepower output.The number of weapons is not good enough.

Each unit is staffed with a military chief officer.

Currently no deputy.

When it is time to expand in the later stage, it must be assigned the deputy post of each military chief.Otherwise, a person can't be busy at all.

The only one currently equipped with a deputy is that each infantry squad is equipped with a squad leader and a deputy squad leader.

After all, the first-level unit of the squad is directly facing the soldiers, and basically all the recruits recruited from the common people are assigned to the infantry battalion.

So if only one squad leader leads 20 recruits, it is obviously a bit difficult.

The individual equipment of the New First Army is now basically two sets of new military uniforms per person.

Training uniforms with short sleeves and shorts, two pairs of military boots, two pairs of socks, a military backpack, and a military water bottle.A bolt-action rifle that can be fitted with a bayonet, two pair of leggings, and two pairs of cloth shoes.

It also includes a first aid kit, which mainly contains bandages and gold sore medicine to stop bleeding.

In addition, each person is equipped with ten bullet boxes, and each bullet box can carry ten rounds of bullets.

According to the army building manual compiled by Jiang Chuan, infantry is based on one hundred bullets.Artillery uses twenty shells as a base.

In addition, in the infantry squad, in addition to 16 riflemen, there are four grenadiers.

The other equipment of the grenadiers is the same as that of the infantry, the only difference is that the main weapon of the infantry is a rifle, and their main weapon is a long-handled grenade.

The role of the grenadiers in the infantry squad is equivalent to the machine gunners of later generations.It is used for fire support.

Although the main mission of the soldiers of the logistics regiment and the artillery regiment was to support operations, Jiang Chuan also equipped them with rifles as weapons considering that sometimes the artillery regiment and the supply battalion would also be engaged in direct combat.

It's just that the amount of ammunition carried is not as much as that of infantry. After all, if the amount of ammunition carried is too large, the load will be too heavy for them.

In addition to the logistics regiment, the artillery regiment and the three infantry regiments, there is also a medical brigade, a communication detachment, a guard squadron and a reconnaissance squadron directly under the New First Army headquarters.

The medical brigade is equipped with 20 military doctors and 200 nurses.It can be said that this equipment ratio is quite extravagant, enough to ensure that all wounded in a battle can receive timely treatment.

The main function of the communication unit in this era is to run errands and deliver orders.

Currently in the New First Army, the communication tools used to send orders mainly include whistles, bugles, and gongs.

The main function of the whistle is mainly to gather the team.

The bugle is mainly used for charging, and the gong is used for retreating and withdrawing troops.

From the top to the bottom of the New First Army, every officer from the commander to the squad leader and the deputy squad leader is equipped with a whistle.

The chief officer of each regiment-level unit is equipped with a communication squad of 10 people and a guard platoon.

The guard squadron directly under the military headquarters is composed of 500 people, with a squadron leader.

A squadron has five guard units under its jurisdiction, each with 100 people, and one team leader.

The reconnaissance squadron is also composed of 500 people, with one squadron leader.

The entire squadron has five reconnaissance teams, each with 100 people, and a team leader.

The reconnaissance squadron and the guard squadron have no new recruits, they are all composed of direct soldiers from the fortress base, they are the real elite of the new army.

In addition, in the New First Army, there is also a teaching squadron.The teaching squadron is all expanded from the teaching team of Guan Hu and Su Dingfang transferred from Liaodong.

The teaching squadron also consists of 500 men.

The establishment is basically the same as that of the guard squadron and the reconnaissance squadron.

Their main responsibilities are to be responsible for the training of recruits in peacetime, as well as the exploration and research of various new tactics, and to act as the imaginary enemy of other troops, that is, the role of the blue army in the army of later generations.

In addition, there is a picket squadron of 100 people directly under the military headquarters.

It can be said that in the entire army, the last thing soldiers want to see is the pickets in the army.

Because they specialize in dealing with all kinds of soldiers who violate military regulations and discipline, and they have great power. As long as you violate military discipline, even high-ranking officers are within their scope of investigation.

From the level of the picket squadron, we can see the high status of the picket squadron in the entire new army.

The 100 people in other troops are just a squad leader, but the picket squadron is assigned a squadron leader.

The uniforms of picket squadrons are also very different from those of other units.

They wear special white helmets with the word picket written on them, and a red cuff with the words picket achievement written on their left arms.

And in order to highlight the majesty and level of the pickets, all the pickets are equipped with pistols.

These pickets are used to picket military discipline in peacetime, and they are used to supervise the team in wartime.Once there is no order to retreat or become a deserter, the picket will shoot and kill directly.

Although the number of the new army was originally approved to be 1, after the actual formation of the army, including the main combat units and units directly under the military, the entire new army has a total of more than 13000 people.

In addition to their own command saber, the chief officers above the company level are equipped with a pistol as a self-defense weapon, which is also to highlight the identity of the officer.

In addition, all commanders above the company level are allotted with an eight-fold monocular.

The above is the specific organization and affiliated units of the entire New First Army.

For military ranks, all recruits have no ranks for the time being.Their collar stamps are all blank.

To be formally commissioned, recruits must pass three months of recruit training.

After the recruits have passed the training, they will be awarded the rank of private soldier.

The rest of the officers, including the squad leader and deputy squad leader, were all given military ranks because they were all veterans of the Qin Army.

From top to bottom, Bai Mu, the commander of the new army, was awarded the rank of major general.

Bai Mu was already a captain of the Guards Battalion before, and he already belonged to the general series, so conferring the rank of major general is actually not considered a high promotion, but equal to his previous status.

And if the army is to be expanded in the future, once it is upgraded to a larger establishment such as a group army or a legion, Bai Mu's military rank will definitely be raised.

If the award is too high at the beginning, it will be difficult to operate in the future.

In addition, the heads of all subordinate regiments, including the squadron leaders of the squadrons directly under the various military departments, are all awarded the rank of major.

The battalion commanders of each battalion confer the rank of captain, and the captains of each directly subordinate unit also have the rank of captain.

The rank of lieutenant of each company commander.

The rank of second lieutenant of each platoon leader.

The squad leader confers the rank of corporal, and the deputy squad leader confers the rank of corporal.

It can be seen that the rank of the entire New First Army is relatively lower than that of later generations, and the rank is one level lower than the position.

This is all in preparation for future military expansion.

There are clear regulations on the supporting benefits and benefits for each level of military rank.

For example, the most important one is that if a soldier of the New First Army can be awarded the rank of second lieutenant or above, the whole family can be exempted from corvee service every year, and half of various taxes can be exempted.

If you get the rank of major or above, you will be exempted from corvee service and various taxes, and the imperial court will also provide a certain amount of subsidies every year.

And among the family members of the person, they have the priority to join the army.

If you take the imperial examination, you can get extra points, as well as priority admission and placement qualifications.

And successfully passed the three-month recruiting period of the New First Army, and soldiers who obtained the rank of private soldier, the imperial military department will award their families a plaque with the words "military affiliation".

The military plaque is not only an honor in itself, but also received key protection from the imperial court.

If military families have litigation matters, the yamen at all levels must give priority to accepting them.

And the privilege of exempting military members from kneeling, you can see officials below the fourth rank not kneeling.

If the military family thinks that the yamen at all levels has been treated unfairly, they can appeal to the Prince Regent's Palace with a plaque.

With this series of preferential measures, both the face and the inside have been taken care of.

In addition to talking about the glory of the ancestors, the various practical benefits make people envious and heartbeat.

These measures greatly stimulated the courage and perseverance of those recruits, and they all secretly made up their minds that they must pass the three-month boot camp to obtain the rank of private.

It can be said that Jiang Chuan's series of measures to support the army have made the rank of the New First Army very valuable.This is something that cannot be bought with money outside.

Jiang Chuan has also clearly stipulated the training content of the New First Army.

The training content is carried out step by step according to the process. The main content of the first stage is queue training, housekeeping requirements, shooting training, and physical training.

The above training content is required for all personnel of the New First Army to participate, including the commander Bai Mu down to the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and all officers and non-commissioned officers must also participate.

After these basic training contents are completed, the second phase of training will be to train the cooperation among various arms and units.for example.Infantry coordination, battlefield rescue, positional warfare, fortified warfare, ambush warfare and other tactical training.

After the second phase of training is completed, various exercises will be conducted on different terrains, including plains, mountains, hills and even water operations.

It can be said that Jiang Chuan really has great hopes for the New First Army, so he is willing to invest huge funds and efforts in the New First Army.

If the funds for building the new army were used to prepare a cold weapon army in the conventional sense, if it was an army of the same level as the Dashun Army, there would be a surplus of 50 recruits.

If it is an ordinary army of the Qin Army, there are about 10 people.

It can be seen from this that Jiang Chuan hopes that the new army can become a truly strong army with one against ten, or even one against a hundred, a real trump card army, and become the sharpest sword in his hand.

Of course, the imaginary enemy of the New First Army is definitely not Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and his like, but the army of the British Empire, which has not yet masked, but has long been famous.

Because of limited information, Jiang Chuan didn't know how strong the British Empire's army in this world could be.

Therefore, he can only do his best to train and equip the new army, hoping to be invincible when facing the British army in the future.

Use me in the first battle, use me to win, this is Jiang Chuan's goal for the new army.
