"Although our military rank has been reduced this time, we have more soldiers in hand, and our military rank has not been reduced. In total, we have made a profit."
Some people changed their minds quickly and immediately changed their stance and became a member of the group who agreed with the adaptation.
However, this change was met with overwhelming laughter and curses.
"When we first said we were going to adapt it, you, Master Sui, jumped higher than anyone else, because you opposed it so fiercely. Well, you are so shameless, just a wallflower."
Sui Zhizhong blushed and then accepted it calmly.
"It's not that we are against it, but we just can't accept it. Why did I become the regiment leader, and Political Commissar Huang became the division chief of staff? But now we have adjusted."
The original Fourth Army was reorganized into the Fourth Division, and the generals also made substantial adjustments.
Except for Bai Xiaoqi and Le Xinfeng, the original deputy commander Yi Guozheng and chief of staff Zha Shubing were all transferred away.
The two of them went to the Fifth Division.
Yi Guozheng serves as the deputy commander of the fifth division, and Zha Shubing serves as the chief of staff of the fifth division.
As a result, there was a vacancy in the division headquarters of the Fourth Division.
After the operation of the headquarters, Le Xinfeng served as the political commissar and deputy division commander of the Fourth Division. The chief of staff was Huang Long, the original political commissar of the Seventh Division, Sui Zhizhong's old partner.
Huang Long went to the division headquarters as chief of staff, but Sui Zhizhong changed from division commander to regimental commander.
This gap was a bit difficult for him to accept, so he actually complained a lot.
"Although I am the division chief of staff, I have the same military rank as you, but my job position is different."
According to the military system of the New Army, the chief of staff of a division has the rank of colonel, and the commander of a large regiment of 5,000 people also has the rank of colonel.
Therefore, Huang Long's new appointment is not a promotion, and Sui Zhizhong is not a demotion.
In fact, everyone still understands Huang Long's role as chief of staff.
After all, he was once the first-rank military officer of the Ming Dynasty, the pinnacle of military generals. If he hadn't joined the new army too late, his position and military rank would not be so low.
"Since no one has any objections, let's announce the appointment of all officers of the Fourth Division."
After unifying their opinions, Bai Xiaoqi saved a lot of trouble and officially started the adaptation sequence.
The officers with military duties in the headquarters stood up and attracted everyone's attention.
In this adaptation, everyone has to go to a completely new location. It is both a challenge and an opportunity.
The officers of the division have already been determined, and the focus is on the appointment of regimental-level officers.
"Sui Zhizhong, commander of the Thirteenth Regiment, and Xie Qian, political commissar."
Sui Zhizhong and the people next to him stood up quickly and accepted the appointment.
Xie Qian served as captain, platoon leader, and company commander in the original First Army, then as regimental commander and deputy brigade commander in the Third Army, and finally transferred to the Fourth Army as the brigade commander.
They were originally Sui Zhizhong's subordinates, and they cooperated skillfully with each other. The combination could quickly form a combat effectiveness.
"Lu Zhiqian, leader of the 14th Regiment, and Xiang Zuolin, political commissar."
This appointment is not surprising, because they are all seniors from the Fourth Division.
Among them, Huang Long looked at Xiang Zuolin with eyes filled with relief.
When he was in Lushun, Xiang Zuolin was his capable general. Later, he returned to Shandong with him, and Xiang Zuolin also entered the military academy.
"The Evil God"
Because of his solid military skills and experience, he quickly stood out and became an outstanding graduate.
This time he became a regimental political commissar with the rank of colonel.
"Zhu Dingyan, leader of the 15th Regiment, and Xia Congsheng, political commissar."
Zhu Dingyan is a star figure in the military, and everyone takes his rise for granted.
When the army was still full of white men, Zhu Dingyan, who was born in the nine great families of Dongchang Prefecture, performed outstandingly.
Like Sui Zhizhong, he was also adjusted from a division-level general to a regiment-level general. But there were no complaints and preparations started early.
"Sha Rushang, commander of the 16th regiment, and Qi Jiaxuan, political commissar."
The two were from the original Eighth Division, Sha Rushang was the political commissar and Qi Jiaxuan was the deputy division commander.
The division commander is Zhu Dingyan, and the chief of staff is Xia Congsheng.
The four people went to two groups respectively, so they were evenly matched.
These are the four main infantry regiments of the newly formed Fourth Division.
According to the plan, each infantry regiment has a strength of 5,700 people, and it can completely stand alone and fight on its own.
In addition to the four infantry regiments, there are also three regiments.
"Hu Shu, the leader of the guard regiment, and Weng Zisheng, the political commissar."
The new reorganization eliminated brigade combat units and significantly reduced civilian personnel. This also increases the importance of the division headquarters, which must have sufficient defense force.
The Guard Corps came into being.
In this way, the division headquarters directly manages more than 5,000 troops, which can not only protect itself, but also enter the battle without involving the energy of other regiments.
"Qiu Jinpeng, commander of the artillery regiment, and An Shenghua, political commissar."
Other regiment-level combat units are expanding, and the artillery regiment is no exception.
The new artillery regiment will have two heavy artillery battalions and 20 heavy artillery pieces, and two infantry artillery battalions and 60 infantry artillery pieces.
"Pang Xinpei, leader of the Engineering Corps, and Miao Niansheng, political commissar."
The Engineer Regiment has the smallest number of troops among all regimental units.
Because they are only responsible for division-level operational engineering tasks, and each infantry battalion below has an affiliated engineering company, they do not need support from the engineering regiment.
At this point, the organizational structure of the Fourth Division has been completed, and all generals have been properly placed.
"According to the order of the headquarters, our fourth division must be completed before the New Year. There are still more than three months to go. Everyone must hurry up and not delay."
The Fourth Division quickly entered the state, and generals from various ministries rushed to Dengzhou and began to receive troops.
In addition to the original 30,000 troops of the Fourth Army, the headquarters added more than 10,000 troops.
These recruits came from the militia of Xuzhou, Lianghuai and Songjiang Prefecture.
Just outside Dengzhou City, people from all walks of life arrived one after another.
The first thing is to conduct an assessment of the militia.
Militias in various places have been established for different lengths of time.
Some have trained for a long time and have mastered combat skills and organizational discipline. And some are just like Xiaobai, who can't even tell the difference between front, back, left and right.
After some inspection, the militiamen from Xuzhou performed best.
At the beginning, Xuzhou gathered a large number of troops, and the militiamen followed closely and learned a lot. At the same time, they also received a lot of help from the regular army.
"Our Thirteenth Regiment is the main force among the main forces, so these good soldiers must be given priority to us."
Sui Zhizhong gave full play to his Shantou doctrine and prepared to rob people.
He is shameless, and others are no less generous.
"Everyone is a new team, why is your Thirteenth Regiment the main force among the main force? Just because you have a big face?"
Lu Zhiqian cooperated well with Sui Zhizhong at first, but this time he showed no mercy in grabbing people.
"That's right. When it comes to fighting, it depends on our fifteenth regiment. When it comes to selecting people, our fifteenth regiment has priority."
There are no traces of Zhu Dingyan coming from a scholarly family, and he is very good at playing rogue.
In the end, several groups got into a big fight and had to go to Bai Xiaoqi to ask for an explanation.
"This matter must be handled carefully, otherwise it will affect morale."
Le Xinfeng's reminder did not make Bai Xiaoqi feel embarrassed.
"What's so difficult about this? Send the order, and the whole army will start a competition. Whichever regiment wins will be selected first!"
As an outstanding student of Zuo Menggeng, Bai Xiaoqi learned many methods of running the army.
At this time, I took out a little bit, and the whole army immediately turned into wolves, eager to show off their skills.
Although the Fourth Division was still a new army, its morale was erupting like a volcano and it was unstoppable.
