The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 493 Guards Regiment and Ace Army

Jiang Chuan allocated another two hundred artillery pieces to Di Qing, including one hundred light and heavy mortars.

The other hundred guns include field guns, long and heavy guns, and cavalry guns that accompany the cavalry quickly.

This type of cavalry gun has a small caliber and is less powerful than the field guns used by infantry, but it is light in weight and strong in maneuverability. It can be dragged by a nasty horse and is very suitable for accompanying cavalry in combat. .

Although most of the time the missions performed by the cavalry are interspersed with outflanking and expulsion missions, sometimes there will be missions to attack fortified positions.

However, ordinary field guns are heavy and slow, and cannot meet the needs of fast maneuvering cavalry.And the cavalry artillery came into being as the times require.

As for Baishan's army to conquer the west, Jiang Chuan also added a hundred artillery pieces of various types.Although no traces of foreign troops have been found on the western battlefield so far, they must be guarded against.

Since British mercenaries can appear on the Jiangnan battlefield, if there are any French troops, the Russian army is not too light.

After all, the theme of this world seems to be war and chaos, which is very similar to the historical background of the former powers fighting for colonies on the earth.

Jiang Chuan still knows too little about the structure of the world.

Now apart from the continent of Zhongzhou, all that is known is the Fusang Kingdom and the English Empire, as well as the Song and Jin Kingdoms on the long and narrow continent to the south of Zhongzhou.

These two countries and Zhongzhou are separated by a huge mountain range, the Atrium Mountains.

The Atrium Mountains are tall and majestic, about the same height as the Himalayas on Earth. The top of the mountain is howling with strong winds and covered with snow all the year round.

Not to mention people, even the tallest goshawk is unwilling to build a nest here.

Therefore, if you want to cross the Atrium Mountain Range, this behavior is almost like suicide.

Therefore, the information about Song and Jin is basically fragmentary information obtained through some maritime merchants.

As for other countries on other continents, it is tantamount to knowing nothing.

Just like playing a game, except for the places that have been explored, the other places are all shrouded in thick fog of war. If you don't go to the previous life, you don't know what monsters there are.

At present, Jiangchuan and Zhongzhou mainland are not unified.

According to this situation, Jiang Chuan's road to hegemony has just begun.

Therefore, although it seems that Jiangchuan's current strength is very strong, once it is apportioned to the entire territory of Zhongzhou, it will be very stretched.

In the current situation, development is out of the question.

The prerequisite for development is stability.

The premise of stability is unity.

To unify, both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong must be killed.Obviously, it is impossible for both of them to voluntarily surrender.And even if they were willing to surrender, Jiang Chuan would not dare to accept it.

Jiang Chuan is very clear about the style of these two, and false surrender is very common for them.

So he either doesn't do it, or he does it thoroughly, making these two completely cool.

Therefore, for quite some time, war and chaos will be the theme of the times.

Since war is the theme of the times, it is obviously justified to continue to expand the military.

After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Chuan decided to speed up the training progress of the new army, and at the same time issued a series of measures to expand and consolidate the army:
First, order the 6 people in the Guards Battalion and Shanjia stationed in the capital to start changing their outfits, and start to change to firearms troops both in terms of military system and weaponry.

The personal guard battalion was upgraded to a guard regiment, and the total number was expanded from 3000 to 5000. If the number was insufficient, personnel were recruited from Shanjia's troops to supplement.

The entire guard regiment is composed of soldiers directly from the fortress, and it is an obviously strengthened regiment in terms of numbers.

According to the normal establishment, this number is actually equivalent to a brigade.

The Guards had three combat battalions, each with 1000 men.

In addition, there is an artillery battalion of 500 people, a guard battalion of 500 people, a logistics battalion of 500 people, and a reconnaissance battalion of 300 people.There is also a medical squadron of 200 people.

The organization of units under the jurisdiction of each battalion is basically the same as that of the New First Army.

The head of the Guards Regiment was Ji Biao, the former deputy captain of the Guards Battalion, and the military rank was awarded to the colonel.

The rest of the battalion commanders were awarded the rank of major.

In terms of weapons and equipment, except for the pistols and command knives that are equipped with officers at all levels in the entire guard regiment, all the other soldiers are equipped with three weapons: a long gun, a pistol, and a bayonet.

And from the top to the bottom of the guards, everyone has excellent riding skills, so Jiang Chuan equips everyone with horses.

His goal is to turn the entire Guards into a quick-response force of this era.

After all, in this era when there were no steam engines or cars, war horses were the fastest vehicles.

In order to meet this goal, the artillery in the artillery battalion of the Guards Regiment is mainly mounted cannons and light mortars that can move quickly, and a small amount of field artillery, long heavy artillery and heavy mortars are equipped in an appropriate amount.

The second is to reorganize the [-] Qin army stationed near the capital under Shanjia's headquarters and form the capital garrison group army.

The 6 people were reorganized into two armies, designated 38th Army and 47th Army.

No one knew why the regent came up with these two numbers, and Jiang Chuan just smiled mysteriously when asked.

Both the 38th Army and the 47th Army have an establishment of 3 people, each with two divisions and other units directly under the military headquarters.

Shanjia served as the commander of the Beijing Division's garrison group army, with the rank of lieutenant general, and concurrently served as the commander of the 38th army.

The commander of the 47th Army is Liang Chuan, the deputy general of Shanjia, with the rank of major general.

From the designations of these two armies, it can be seen that Jiang Chuan's purpose is to turn these two armies into trump cards after the reform of the military system.

Jiang Chuan's requirement for these two armies is an ace unit with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Therefore, except for a 3000-man cavalry regiment in each army, the rest are all infantry.

Each corps is equipped with an artillery regiment of 2000 men, mainly equipped with relatively heavy artillery such as field artillery, long heavy artillery and heavy mortar.

The light mortars are assigned to the artillery squadron under each infantry regiment, and follow the infantry to fight.

The artillery regiment will only become the protagonist of the battlefield when it is necessary to attack a fortification or deal with the enemy's artillery.

The cavalry regiment is also equipped with a squadron of mounted artillery, equipped with [-] mounted artillery.

In addition, each army's logistics regiment, reconnaissance battalion, and medical brigade are equipped.

The reason why the adaptation started from these two troops was firstly because these two troops were in the capital, and secondly because these two troops were both direct descendants of Jiang Chuan, and they had no missions at present.

As for Di Qing's army conquering the east and Baishan's army conquering the west, they are currently in the process of attacking, so it is obviously not suitable for adaptation.

If it is adapted rashly, it will have a very adverse impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

The third is to order the reorganization of the local armed forces and green forest people who have surrendered in all the restored state capitals, and to select people from the Dashun Army prisoners and reorganize them into the local garrison.

　The second one arrives.There should be more at night.Friends, ask for tickets, hold on to the old cat, the old cat will walk shoulder to shoulder with everyone...
