Chapter 123 New Team

Wei Jichen was a little depressed when he walked out of the wine shop. He was not a wooden man. He could see the affection in Li Que'er's eyes, but Wei Jichen knew that he should not provoke her.

If it was just for fun, why bother to hurt this poor woman? If it was not for fun, Wei Jichen could not accept Li Que'er's background. Therefore, it was better for them not to have any intersection in the future. Time is the best love potion. I believe Li Que'er will eventually forget him.

Now that the war is imminent, what are I thinking about?

Wei Jichen soon sorted out his mood and led Wang Huaiqing and others back to the government office. After dinner, he naturally had to continue to work.

However, unlike the previous few days, all the generals of the Wei army received Wei Jichen's orders and gathered in the government office.

Because tonight, Wei Jichen will adjust the personnel.

Now, the troops gathered in Haicheng include the 4th Infantry Battalion, 3rd Cavalry Battalion and 1st Artillery Battalion of the Fengjun Army under Nie Guilin, the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Yijun Army under Ma Jinxu, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion and 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Xizi Army under the command of Jiang Xiyi, the former Haicheng garrison.

Finally, there are the 3rd Infantry Battalion, 1st Cavalry Battalion and 1st Artillery Battalion of the Weizi Army under the command of Wei Jichen.

Needless to say, the troops that Wei Jichen annexed were the Shengzi Training Army of the former Feng Sheng'a.

Although the former Shengzi Training Army suffered a series of defeats and its morale was depressed, the number of casualties was not large. After this period of reorganization, Wei Jichen has initially taken control of this army.

As for morale, which is something that others can't do anything about, it is a trivial matter for Wei Jichen, because he has the military strategist skill - boosting morale.

At most, he would waste some Baihua Yulu Pills and spend some prestige points to get the job done.

The four armies together had almost 10,000 people, not to mention that Xu Bangdao's Guard Infantry Battalion 3 was heading towards Haicheng, so in terms of numbers, the Qing army had an absolute advantage.

Li Yunfei, Wang Shizhen, Hu Zi and others had already arrived at the temporary command post and were talking and laughing inside.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and it was not Wei Jichen who walked in, but a young man with a pale face and no beard.

When everyone saw him, they were stunned at first, and then smiled knowingly.

Li Yunfei stood up and said, "Yuting, is Ma Yuming willing to release people?"

The young man was Zhang Zuolin. He looked a little embarrassed and a little proud. He smiled and replied, "Zhang Mou was valued by Marshal Wei, so he went to ask Lord Ma in person. Lord Ma saw this and agreed to transfer Zhang Mou to the Weizi Army."

Several people did not expect that Wei Jichen valued Zhang Zuolin so much that he would personally go to Ma Yuming to ask for his help.

However, when I think of the battle of Yushubao, when Zhang Zuolin led the cavalry to rescue and help the enemy without flinching, I feel that it is nothing strange.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Not long after, Wei Jichen came in with Wang Huaiqing.

Everyone stopped talking for a while, stood up, and focused their eyes on Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen first took off his coat and threw it aside, smiled, and then said: "Why are you all standing and looking at me? Sit down, sit down! I am not a popular person."

All the generals smiled at each other embarrassedly, and then sat down one after another. They were a little too nervous. Although they knew that because of this expansion, everyone would definitely have the reason to rise, not the reason to fall, but they were still worried because it had not been implemented.

Li Yunfei smiled and said, "Admiral, we are all eagerly waiting for your good news."

Li Yunfei called Admiral to remind Wei Jichen that he had been promoted, so he was not in a hurry, but we were still waiting for news, so we were naturally anxious.

"Since Yunfei is so anxious, let's start with you." Wei Jichen smiled first, then his face was straightened, and he slowly opened the documents on the table.

Li Yunfei was not as calm as Wei Jichen. Seeing his slow movements, his hands under the table couldn't help rubbing back and forth.

"Well, the Camp Affairs Office is the leadership organization of my Weizi Army. It is responsible for issuing orders, enforcing military laws, and cultivating talents. Therefore, it is the top priority. Yunfei, the general manager of the Camp Affairs Office must be you. I hope you can enforce the law impartially in the future, be impartial, and don't be biased because of personal feelings." Wei Jichen took out the formal appointment letter and handed it to Li Yunfei.

The Weizi Army is still in its infancy, and the Camp Affairs Office has not yet played any role, but as the Weizi Army continues to expand, this organization will become very important.

There are also advantages to being in a preliminary stage. Wei Jichen can subdivide the role of the Camp Affairs Office, imitate the German military system, and combine it with the current Yongying system, and set up: Law Enforcement Department, Training Department (with attached infantry, artillery, and horse schools), Food and Pay Bureau, Ordnance Bureau, Military Medical Bureau, and Detective Bureau.

From the literal meaning, we can know some of the functions of each department, which shows how big the functions of the Camp Affairs Office are. Of course, Wei Jichen is just starting to lay the foundation. As for the specific improvement of each department, there is still a long way to go.

Li Yunfei took the appointment and the information that detailed the duties of the Camp Affairs Office, and couldn't help but gasp. This Zijie has a big appetite.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of the admiral." Li Yunfei said hurriedly and confidently.

Wei Jichen nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Wang Shizhen.

Although the Wei army's cannons were all destroyed in the Battle of Yushu Fort, the artillery team did not suffer many casualties. This time they retreated to Haicheng and directly took out a few cannons from the Haicheng arsenal to expand the artillery camp.

The battalion officer of the artillery battalion was naturally Wang Shizhen, but with a talent like Wang Shizhen, how could Wei Jichen not do his best to tap his potential.

"Pin Qing, you will still command the artillery battalion. In addition, I plan to expand the role of the Changfu team and change it to an engineering team." In the establishment of the Huai Army, the Changfu actually assumes the role of engineering troops, including building roads and cities. Setting up mines is done by the chief.

The title "Engineering Team" is much more grand than that of "Chang Fu". Wei Jichen called him first regardless of whether the court agreed or not. However, the court did not agree, so he called him by his nickname within the army, and then reported it to "Chang Fu". Who cares about that?

When Wang Shizhen heard that Wei Jichen was going to expand the team of eldest husband, she couldn't help but said curiously: "Sir, besides building roads and building cities, what other role does the engineering team play?"

Wei Jichen raised the document in his hand and glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone was a little curious, he slowly said: "The engineering team will include: bridge team, ground team (fortification), demolition team, thunder and lightning team (landmines), repair team Mechanical team, surveying team, and telegraph team.”

The chief husband also does the first five tasks, but he doesn't put them forward as clearly as Wei Jichen does, and he also divides them into categories very finely.

"Sir, is this surveying and mapping team a unit that surveys and maps marching maps?" Wang Shizhen asked with a smile.

Wei Jichen nodded and said solemnly: "The terrain is tenth. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: if you know the enemy and yourself, victory is not in danger; if you know the sky and the earth, victory is possible. The reason why the Japanese were able to attack cities and plunder territory all the way is because of the They surveyed and mapped detailed marching maps before the war and formulated detailed marching routes, so the surveying and mapping team is very important. In addition to collecting original terrain maps, the surveying and mapping team should also be able to draw military maps on their own based on the actual terrain. "

Wang Shizhen stroked his beard and nodded clearly. As for the telegraph team, he didn't ask much, although Wang Shizhen felt that the imperial court had special personnel for sending and receiving telegrams. If he needed to communicate by telegraph, he could go to various telegraph offices.

However, since Wei Jichen has introduced the telegraph team into the army, regardless of whether there is a telegraph or not, as long as the telegraph personnel are trained, they will still be useful if something happens to the telegraph operators in the telegraph office. With this thought, Wei Jichen will be the one to do it. .

Wang Shizhen ridiculed her immediate boss in her heart, but it was a pity that Wei Jichen didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to teach him a lesson.

"Mr. Pin, I value the engineering team very much. You have to work hard. It's best to train one or two artillery team talents as soon as possible, and then focus on the engineering team." Wei Jichen asked again.

Wang Shizhen said yes, but secretly thought: It seems that the adults regard this engineering team as more important than the artillery team. In this case, they can only bear the pain and hand over the artillery battalion as soon as possible.

Wei Jichen continued: "Although the number of our Wei Zijun has increased, our combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. Many of the old brothers who followed me, Wei Jichen, failed to make it to the end. We must train these new sergeants strictly." , so that Wei Zijun can return to its original combat strength as soon as possible, so the positions of the infantry and cavalry battalion officers are crucial. The battalion officers of the front and rear battalions are Zhao Hu and Nie Rongcai respectively. The cavalry battalion officers are Zhang Zuolin and the middle battalion officer. Directly under my control.”

Hu Zi, Nie Cairong, and Zhang Zuolin all had happy faces. Zhang Zuolin never expected that Wei Jichen would be given this important task as soon as he arrived in the Wei Zijun. Nie Cairong never expected that Wei Jichen would dare to kill her after learning that she was a daughter. Huzi was a little bit surprised that the army was handed over to her, but getting promoted is always a happy thing.

Wei Jichen had no choice. He had no one at his disposal, and he couldn't hand over important positions to outsiders. His pretensions were too low now, and nepotism was inevitable.

At this time, among the people present, only Mengzi had no news. He was anxious and couldn't help but stand up with a sad face and said: "Sir, all of them have been promoted and made rich. Why do I only have ten people under my command?"

Wei Jichen couldn't help but smile and comforted: "What do you mean by elites? The soldiers in your hands are elites. They are all one in a hundred, and their achievements are equal to those of other battalions. But don't worry, I have decided to expand the manpower of the sniper team. ”

Wei Jichen has long had ideas about the sniper team. He wants to turn the sniper team into a special forces unit for future generations. Not only must they be able to play with guns, but they must also have extraordinary skills to be able to excel.

However, Wei Jichen didn't want to cause any trouble because of his name, so he chose an extremely vulgar name - Fire Brigade.

After everyone heard the name Fire Brigade, they all covered their mouths and snickered. Mengzi asked with a depressed look: "Sir, what do you mean by this Fire Brigade?"

Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Fire and water are ruthless and the most ferocious, which represents the most tragic and dangerous place on the battlefield. The fire brigade is a special operations force set up to reverse the situation on the battlefield and rescue other brothers in the army. , this army will become the sharpest knife in my hand. Wherever it is pointed, the enemy will collapse; Burning the enemy's food and arsenal, they are lone wolves on the battlefield, always waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. Do you think it's important?"

Mengzi smiled and nodded: "Sir, when you say this, I finally understand. But how many people are there in this establishment?"

"Fifty people, mainly sharpshooters for now. If you find some other strange people, you can also recruit them after testing." Wei Jichen smiled and continued: "After you go down, first select one or two smart people from the fire brigade to learn Japanese from Matsuda Nobita."

Mengzi naturally responded with a yes. In this way, the generals above the battalion level have been determined. As for the original battalion officers in Shengjun Training Army, Wei Jichen did not want to keep them in the army. The reason why Shengzi Training Army's combat power is low is inseparable from these people.

Wei Jichen sent them away like a plague god with a transfer order. Below the battalion officers are sentry officers. These people will be assessed by Li Yunfei's camp office for their previous merits, and then promoted according to the merits and the opinions of the battalion officers.
