Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 5 Chapter 3: Slightly fine-tuned

All the forces outside of Xia State didn’t understand the behavior of Xia’s army retreating after gaining all-round superiority. Why didn’t they directly occupy this land as before? Why did they retreat?

But anyway, Xia's army retreated anyway, and the lords of the princes federation said that at this time, because their resistance took effect, it was the victory of their lords and the victory of their princes federation.

But when these lords returned to their lords with the bustling soldiers, they discovered that their homes were already unsightly.

The towns still braving the black smoke, the trampled fields, the remains that can be found from time to time in the wilderness, all show what the tragic price of their "victory" is.

Especially the territories in the south near Xia Country are particularly serious, and it can even be said to be a piece of scorched earth.

The princes federation has always been the center of civilization in this world, and both territories and towns have a long history of owners.

But after this battle, this piece of land with a long history has been difficult to see the former prosperous elephant.

The battle against the Federation of princes was not only an attack on towns, population, and the army, but also an attack on the local culture and civilization of the world.

...

The disciplinary war that lasted more than a month ended with Xia Guo's overall victory. In addition to the results of the war, it was the result of the inspection of the army.

As the party who voluntarily retreated, Xia Guo did not receive war reparations, did not occupy the land, and did not propose any victory clause against the enemy country.

Because Xia Guo has already got the "fruits of victory" they want!

The first thing to bear the brunt is that the weakening of the princes' federation has achieved the expected purpose, and even has been done a little too far, and the weakening of the princes' federation is too much.

The second is the inspection of the army. In this war, many problems were discovered. No, Li Jingyi's return to Zhongjing is like Yang Song submitting a summary report on the army.

"Your Majesty, after this campaign, the army has exposed a lot of problems." After meeting Yang Song, Li Jing went straight to the topic.

"Tell me in detail." Although Yang Song is now nearly fifty years old, his appearance seems to be in his prime of life, and he is still very energetic.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jing clasped his fists to take the order, and reported in detail: "After the generals are transferred, there is no difference. The cooperation between the generals and the chiefs of staff is as usual."

Li Jing was the first to report on what happened after the adjustment of the generals, but after so many years of war baptism, these generals did not show any symptoms of incompatibility.

Yang Song hummed about this, saying that he knew that he hadn't worried too much about this, because these generals were smart people and didn't need his beating.

After seeing Yang Song's statement, Li Jing continued to report: "The newly established post-insurance battalion at the division level played a huge role in the war and provided strong support to the army, but..."

When Li Jing said this, he paused, and after seeing Yang Song’s urging expression, he clarified the problem: “It’s just a little bit. For a division’s nearly 40,000 troops, a battalion’s logistics support is in battle. The time is still not enough. If it is possible, it is best to set up the logistical support army to the regiment level."

Before Yang Song asked, Li Jing explained: "In this campaign, the 1st Infantry Division defended and counterattacked. The logistical support was supported by the militia and reinforcements, but it was fine. However, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Mountain Division In the course of combat, the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division feels pressure from logistical support every time after the division of troops."

Li Jing's words reminded Yang Song of many details in this war that he hadn't noticed before.

For example, the marching trajectory of the Third Mountain Division during the attack and the distance traveled by its withdrawal.

For another example, the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division will regroup for a period of time not long after each division.

Even the Second Infantry Division never divided its troops from start to finish...

Thinking about these details carefully now, it must be caused by some deficiencies in logistical support.

"According to the intention of the pharmacist, how should the logistical support be configured?" Yang Song asked Li Jing, a general of the pillar country, for his opinions.

Li Jing replied: "My Majesty, one battalion of logistics support directly under the divisional level is sufficient. It is only necessary to add a logistics support company to each infantry regiment so that each infantry regiment can perform its independent combat capabilities."

In Xia’s existing organization, the infantry regiment is the most basic organization that can be sent out to fight separately. The battalions and companies under it are just a combat unit of the army and do not have the authority to fight alone, or say It is in the organization that there is no such ability.

Yang Song thought for a while and thought that Li Jing was right. If only the logistical support troops were set up at the division level, the regiments would not have the ability to fight alone.

"Just follow the instructions of the pharmacist. Add a logistics support company to each infantry regiment." Yang Song approved Li Jing's suggestion. Then Yang Song asked, "What else?"

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, the Minister suggested that the Marine Corps be set as a separate army in order to exert its own special effects." Li Jing suggested: "The Minister thinks that it is just right to be an independent brigade."

"Independent brigade?" Yang Song was a little confused about this, and asked, "Why? What kind of organization is the independent brigade?"

"His Majesty, during this campaign, the Marine Corps has no independent combat capability and can only fight with the fleet, and cannot fully play its role in supporting the land.

After answering Yang Song’s reason, Li Jing also responded to his organization: “The minister suggested setting up battalions directly under the independent brigade. There are five infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one capable After guaranteeing its ability to fight independently."

"Oh? There is no regiment, the independent brigade will directly command the battalions?" After receiving Li Jing's affirmative answer to Yang Song's question, he then asked: "How many people are there in an independent brigade?"

Li Jing clasped his fists and replied: "My Majesty, the independent brigade is counted as the brigade. There are a total of 15,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry, 150 field artillery and 50 siege artillery."

After hearing Li Jing’s detailed answer, Yang Song thought to himself that the Marine Corps or the independent brigade was equipped with artillery battalion artillery, but it only had 15,000 troops, which was considered half a heavy equipment. Teacher.

"Alright, it is a good thing to increase the Marine Corps' individual combat capability. Just do as you say." Regarding Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song also agreed, although the Marine Corps' strength will be reduced by one. Thousands of people, but the overall strength has risen drastically.

Finally, in accordance with Li Jing’s suggestion, Yang Song also changed the logistics support and support army to the size of a single-female brigade, with three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion and the most important five rear guard battalions~www.novelmtl.com ~ Including the brigade, there are a total of 15,000 people, with 1,500 cavalry, but they are not equipped with artillery.

After Li Jing's adjustment, the strength of an infantry regiment reached 8,900 men, and the strength of an infantry division finally exceeded 50,000, reaching 50,500 men.

However, because the cavalry regiment did not have the ability to fight alone for a long time, it was not equipped with logistical support. Therefore, the strength of a heavy-loaded division was only slightly increased to 48,300.

After that, according to the latest establishment implemented on Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song also adapted his Habayashi army to look like the latest heavy equipment division to ensure its combat effectiveness.

And the Jinyiwei was slightly adjusted again to become a heavy regiment-level organization, with three infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, two artillery companies, a rear guard company, and a five-hundred-man Jinyiwei headquarters. Eight thousand nine hundred people, with sixty field artillery, twenty siege artillery, and three thousand cavalry.

Because the military police of the army should be sent by a larger number of Habayashi troops, the size of Jin Yiwei has been reduced from 10,000 to the size of a regiment. With this size of troops, let alone defending the palace, it is the entire Chukyo. Can defend.

According to the latest establishment, the army of the Great Xia Empire does not count as the Habayashi Army and Jin Yiwei, who are Yang Song's army, except for the city guards and sailors of the naval fleet that have become the domestic security forces.

Just counting the four divisions with outbound operations, a Marine Corps of the sole female brigade class, and a logistics support and support construction army of the same level, the current military strength of the Great Xia Empire has 229,000. !

If all the troops are counted, the strength of the Great Xia Empire will exceed 350,000!
