However, in the cycle of heaven, everything that is good must have disadvantages!

Sitting on a 100,000-strong army, this is certainly a happy thing, but how to rectify the 100,000 national army and establish an effective command system has become a difficult problem in front of Zhong Yi!

Zhong Yi would not be naïve enough to think that with these hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, it is equivalent to having more than a dozen elite divisions at once!

An army is not a simple superposition of the number of soldiers, but has a strict command system! Without command, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will only be scattered and will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all!

Zhong Yi thought of this, and Qiu Qingquan also thought of this.

At that moment, Qiu Qingquan said faintly: "It is not an easy task to rectify the army, and it is even more difficult to rectify the rout, so don't think that if you have more than 100,000 routed troops, you have more than a dozen divisions, these are two different things!" ”

"I know!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Chief of Staff Qiu, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

To be honest, Zhong Yi was really a little worried at this time, worried that Qiu Qingquan would reveal his identity.

Once Qiu Qingquan reveals his identity as the chief of staff of the major general and wants to forcibly seize the command of Nanjing, Zhong Yi really has no good way, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he can only ask the attendant room for help!

But once communication with the attendant room is restored, it means that you must accept the remote command of Chairman Jiang!

This is not a good thing for the next defense of Nanjing, Zhong Yi really doesn't trust Chairman Jiang's command!

"I didn't." Qiu Qingquan shook his head, "Under normal circumstances, if you want to put a group of defeated soldiers back in order, you have to go through at least three months of hard training, but the devil won't give you three months!" ”

Speaking from the heart, Qiu Qingquan at this time was actually a little moved.

What's exciting? Of course, it is the command of the 100,000 national army!

As an aspiring officer and a major general, Qiu Qingquan dreamed of being able to command thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield and show his ambitions!

But as a man with discipline, Qiu Qingquan disdains to pick other people's peaches!

Therefore, Qiu Qingquan was just a little moved, and he didn't think that he really wanted to take command!

Hearing Qiu Qingquan say this, Zhong Yi knew his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Three months? I'm afraid that the little devil won't even give us three hours! ”

Qiu Qingquan said: "I don't know if there is any good way to do it?" ”

"There is no good way." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "There is a stupid way. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qiu Qingquan to ask, Zhong Yi said again: "Street fighting, in fact, is different from field warfare, field warfare has high requirements for the command system of an army, because in field warfare, once the response is not fast enough, let the enemy break through a point, it is likely that the whole line will collapse, but there is no such danger in street fighting." ”

"That's right." Qiu Qingquan thought deeply and said, "Street fighting is a battle for each house, and there is no danger that the enemy will lose all the buildings if the enemy captures one building." ”

Zhong Yi said: "So the requirements for the command system in street battles are actually not high! ”

Qiu Qingquan said thoughtfully: "So what? What are you going to do? ”

Zhong Yi didn't talk nonsense anymore, climbed directly into the radio car, and shouted through the radio horn: "It's all there!" ”

Hearing Zhong Yi's order, the hundreds of thousands of national troops gathered in Xinjiekou Square gathered to gather their feet and stand upright, veterans are veterans after all, even if the devils are scattered, they are still veterans.

Zhong Yi then shouted: "Listen to my command, all battalion-level officers, get out of the ranks!" ”

As soon as the words ended, five figures walked out of the queue and stood in front of the announcement car.

"The 87th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant Colonel Battalion Commander Chen Jing'an, come to return to the team!"

"The 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army Communication Battalion, Major Battalion Commander Liu Futing, come to return to the team!"

"The howitzer battalion of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, the commander of the major battalion, came to return to the team!"

"The engineer battalion of the 66th Division of the 159th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Major Zhou Mengxiong, battalion commander, came to return to the team!"

"The baggage battalion of the 156th Division of the 83rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Major Battalion Commander Zhang Buwu, come to return to the team!"

Looking at these five battalion commanders, either the commander of the baggage engineer battalion or the commander of the communications battalion, Zhong Yi couldn't help but have a sour nose.

This also reflects from the side how tragic the previous battle for the defense of Nanjing was, almost all battalion-level officers were killed in battle, and even the battalion commanders of non-combat units such as the heavy engineer communication battalion were also killed in large numbers!

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Yi shouted again: "Now, all company-level officers, out of the ranks!" ”

More than 20 figures walked out of the crowd and walked to the radio truck to report their numbers and positions.

After the more than 20 company commanders finished reporting their duties, Zhong Yi shouted again: "Platoon-level officers are out of the ranks!" ”

This time, there were more officers out of the ranks, nearly two hundred people, and the black pressure was overwhelming!

These platoon commanders just wanted to report their numbers and positions, but Zhong Yi waved his hand to stop them.

Nearly 200 people have reported their positions one by one, when do they have to report? At that time, it was already dawn, and most of the devils had already begun to attack, so they would be in big trouble!

Zhong Yi quickly counted the platoon commanders and company commanders who came out of the ranks, and found that there were exactly two hundred, and immediately shouted: "Listen, now you have been appointed as the independent battalion commander of the 367th Regiment directly under the National Revolutionary Army's chamberlain, and the number is from the 8th Independent Battalion to the 207th Independent Battalion, with a quota of 500 soldiers per battalion, go and count the troops!" ”

The platoon commanders of the two hundred companies were stunned at first, and then cheered.

Then, two hundred newly promoted battalion commanders began to step forward and take orders.

On the side, Qiu Qingquan was dumbfounded, this is too hasty?

In this way, you Zhong Yi appointed a full two hundred battalion commanders in one go? Or is the platoon commander promoted directly to the battalion commander?

God, being a platoon commander is different from being a battalion commander, a platoon commander is only in charge of dozens of people, but the battalion commander is in charge of hundreds of people, you do this, okay?

Zhong Yi didn't even look at Qiu Qingquan.

Of course, extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times, and Lao Tzu appointed two hundred battalion commanders in one go, what's the matter?

The efficiency of the two hundred battalion commanders was high, and the two hundred battalion commanders ordered their own troops, and soon ordered their own five hundred soldiers.

Then, the 200 battalions that had already completed the counting of troops were divided into two hundred neat infantry phalanxes, and they were arranged along the Hanzhong Road on the left, the Zhongshan East Road on the right, the Zhongshan Road in the north, and the Zhonghua Road in the south.

It's just that after the two hundred independent battalions have finished their troops, there are nearly 10,000 veterans left in Xinjiekou Square!

This is nearly 10,000 people, but Zhong Yi is not ready to divide it again, but is ready to merge with the existing more than 2,000 people of the 367th Regiment, and then form five main battalions.

These five main battalions will become the trump cards in Zhong Yi's hands!

Until the critical moment, this trump card will never be used!
