After capturing Zhangjiakou Fort, Wang Yuncheng used the garrison's mansion in the city as a command post for the army.
Several battalions of the Third War Division and the captain of the artillery team came to the temporarily arranged meeting hall of the garrison's mansion.
There was a table and several benches placed in the room. The battalions and the captain who came to the meeting were each holding a pipe in their hands and puffing away smoke.
They are all heavy smokers, and within one pack of cigarettes, the room becomes foggy.
squeak!
The door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and Wang Yuncheng led someone in from the outside.
Ahem!
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Yuncheng subconsciously waved his hands in front of his eyes to drive away the smoke that hit his face. He smiled and cursed: "Good guy, if I had been a little later, you guys wouldn't have set the whole house on fire."
There was laughter in the room.
Someone got up from their seat, walked to the wooden window on the side, and opened a gap to allow the smoke in the room to escape.
Wang Yuncheng walked behind the square table and sat down.
"The battle was fought well today, especially the First Battle Barracks. It was able to quell the unrest in the city in a short period of time, which can be said to have made a great contribution." Wang Yuncheng looked at the First Battle Barracks and praised.
Jia Bo, the commander of the first battle barracks, laughed and said: "They are all ruffians, and the broken soldiers guarding the city took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. As soon as our army entered the city, we easily solved them all."
The gangsters on the street were extremely harmful to the unarmed people, but to the regular army, they were just a bunch of chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered. He did not take much credit for killing a few gangsters.
"The order issued by the proprietor is for us to assist Chen Shizheng's First Battle Division to capture the entire territory of Xuanfu. Therefore, not only must we capture every city, but we must also allocate troops to occupy every city. The First Battle Barracks The battle was going very well, so I decided to stay at Zhangjiakou Fort in the first battle camp," Wang Yuncheng said.
Several soldiers on the seats were looking at Jaber with sympathy.
Zhangjiakou Fort was only the first border fort captured by their Third War Division. More Xuanfu border forts would be captured in the future. Anyone who stayed at Zhangjiakou Fort would not be able to participate in subsequent sieges.
The smile on Jia Bo's face, who had just received the compliment, turned into a sad look, and he said: "Shizheng, you can't favor one against another! My first battle camp has made a contribution by calming down the turmoil in Zhangjiakou Fort, and we can't blame others for it." Donkey! We are the main force of the Third War Division, how can we be left out when attacking other cities?"
Compared with the garrison defending the city, he was more willing to accompany the army to attack the city and capture the territory.
"Jia Yingzheng, what you said is wrong. What you are saying is that we are no longer the main force of our Third Battle Division. Don't worry, without your First Battle Camp, our Second Battle Camp can still capture a building in Xuanfu." A city." Qiao Yuansheng, the commander of the Second Battle Barracks, who was sitting on an adjacent bench, said.
"Yes, that's right, our Third Battle Barracks can do it too."
The speaker was Xiao Kui, the commander of the Third Battle Barracks.
After several expansions of the army, the generals at the first level of the battalion are no longer from the old battalion and the miners of Dongshan Iron Works. Xiao Kui is a commoner who fled to Datong from Liaodong. Later, in order to have enough to eat, he joined the Tiger Flag. , become an ordinary soldier.
First, he suppressed the bandits with his military brigade, and then experienced the battle between the Tiger Banner and the Datong border army in Lingqiu. When he went north to the grassland, his military camp was the main force against the Mongolian cavalry.
After successive battles, he grew from an ordinary soldier to the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion until the establishment of the Third Battle Division. As the backbone of the Third Battle Division, he joined the Third Battle Division and had cultural classes. Passed the test and successfully became the battalion commander of the main battalion of the Third War Division.
Each of the senior generals of the Tiger Banner Army like him have experienced many battles, and many generals in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty may not have as much combat experience as they do.
Moreover, the Tiger Character Flag does not regard generals as fierce men who can only rush into battle. Civil servants are responsible for other aspects.
The Tiger Flag is different.
It's okay for low-level officers. If you want to become a high-ranking officer, you must undergo a cultural assessment. Not only that, after becoming a senior general, the Foreign Intelligence Agency will send over a lot of information about the Ming Dynasty, especially information about various wars.
The battles between the Ming Dynasty and the slave thieves in Liaodong have been rehearsed countless times on the sand table by the senior generals of the Tiger Banner Army.
Every senior general of the Tiger Banner must learn to look at problems from a strategic perspective, instead of being like the Ming Dynasty, where many civilian officials only read a few military books before being appointed as commander-in-chief of the army, carrying forward the tradition of controlling military force with literature. .
Jia Bo did not look at the sarcastic colleagues around him, but said to Wang Yuncheng who was sitting across the table: "You can leave the baggage camp and let our first battle camp continue to fight with the army."
"Hey, why should our supply camp be stationed at Zhangjiakou Fort?" Ren Guangyong, the leader of the supply camp who had been silent for a long time, quit his job and immediately said, "We transport the army's food and grass, dig ditches to collect water, and set up camps. It’s our baggage battalion that does the work. When you fight, we also act as a reserve team and rush to the battlefield at any time. Our baggage battalion is no worse than your main battalion.”
When Jia Bo saw that the supply camp was anxious, he quickly said: "I didn't say that your supply camp is poor. This is not a city defense job suitable for you. The risk is small. The key is to ensure that the food route is not threatened."
"Okay, okay, don't fool around here. We in the supply camp will listen to Shi Zheng. We will do what Shi Zheng says." Ren Guangyong gave the initiative to Wang Yuncheng again.
Jia Bo looked at Wang Yuncheng pitifully.
If you want to be promoted in Tiger Character Banner, you have to make more meritorious service. Under the same conditions, whoever has more merit will be promoted first. The first battle barracks are stationed in Zhangjiakou Fort. It is difficult to have a chance in the subsequent battle to capture the entire Xuanfu. Get involved.
If you cannot participate in the war, you will have fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
As the commander of the First Battle Barracks, it is unlikely that he will be promoted for a while, but other officers of the First Battle Barracks still have a good chance of being promoted, provided they make enough contributions.
War is where soldiers get the best credit.
Wang Yuncheng did not look into Jia Bo's eyes, but said: "The first battle barracks will serve as the garrison staying at Zhangjiakou Fort, the second battle barracks will go to Wanquan Right Guard City twenty miles to the west, and the third battle barracks will go to the east. At Yangfang Fort, twenty miles away, the baggage camp ensures the baggage and food for both armies."
"yes."
Several battalions in the seats were standing up to receive orders.
Even Jia Bo had to accept the order of the First Battle Barracks to garrison Zhangjiakou Fort.
Wang Yuncheng took out a pocket watch from his arms, took a look at it, and said: "The second battle camp and the third battle camp are ready, and we will set off in two hours."
