Tigers are afraid of swarms, and of course the more powerful armies the better, and people with the same ideals will have more power than one person as long as they are gathered together.

Three months after Yue Xiaofei returned to Shenzhou City from Jiangnan, that is, on July 1, 1647 in the Shenzhou calendar, the first division of the Shenzhou Army and the first battalion of foreign mercenaries of the first division of the Marine Corps were established at the same time.

Let's talk about the 1st Division of the Army, which is a mixed regiment with one tank regiment, three ranger regiments, and one regiment.

This unit is not as neat as the 1st Marine Division, and Zhu Yujian's 5,000 Guangdong recruits plus some Ming troops have basically been solved, and they are now being put into training.

The soldiers of the first division of the army came from the Taihu Righteous Army, the Qing army surrendered troops, and in short, among the prisoners captured by the Shenzhou Army before, some people joined. Of course, all the men were broken up and trained in separate formations, and finally dispersed and distributed to various units.

As for the officers who have been promoted after the examination and have never had a suitable official position, Jiang Yong is one of them, and now he is a battalion commander, and his old partner Gan Hui is naturally the battalion commander of another battalion, and their commander is Liu Guoxuan, who is outstanding in wisdom, and is now the commander of the first regiment of the first division of the army.

In the promotion exam again, Huang Gu was honored to be the division commander again, Wang Deren was naturally the deputy division commander, but this time they had an additional staff department, Dai Zhijun, a student of Yang Tingshu, Yue Xiaofei's senior brother easily obtained the post of chief of staff, and his subordinates also had staff officers such as Lu Jian and Wang Jiaqin, speaking of which, it took a lot of twists and turns for these literati to enter the army, and there were thousands of people eliminated by a physical training alone, fortunately, some literati were still quite young, Moreover, at this time, there were many young people who had the ambition to save the country, and there was no shortage of these staff officers.

Those leaders of the Taihu Righteous Army and others also took the post of battalion commander, such as Wang Xu and Wu Risheng, but Li Changxiang was only admitted to a company commander due to his poor culture, and the other people from Jiangnan had their own divisions. The specific equipment and establishment are still reflected in the relevance, so there is no need to talk about it here.

It should be noted that in the past few months, the Wubei Workshop of Shenzhou City has produced a series of new weapons for the umbrella of Shenzhou City.

First of all, the tank has been further modified, the Samurai I-A tank was introduced, it has a fully enclosed two-man turret, and the transmission system has been changed from a chain to a bevel gear shaft, which is not only more efficient and lighter, and the main weapon is equipped with only one type, that is, the flying crossbow, its burst fire function is really outstanding. A rocket launcher with a small hole in the tail end is added to each side of the turret, and 100 mm rockets are fired from the side firing tubes after the turret is locked, with a maximum range of 300 meters. In this way, the grenade launcher in the samurai prototype was completely eliminated, and the lethality of the 30 mm grenade was too small. Comparatively speaking, in the face of the enemy's cluster charge, the effect of the Flying Divine Crossbow is better.

The function of the infantry's gun-launched rocket was replaced by a combat vehicle, and the infantry was equipped with a three-purpose grenade that could be fired from a gun, with a range of 100 meters, which could be thrown, and there was also a rope at the tail, if necessary, by means of a silent long-range throw using a rope. This increased the number of grenades that the infantry could carry to ten, and only one for each of the gun-fired rockets.

The infantry's crossbow guns were all reworked, and the reliable steel springs replaced the original small crossbow arms. The sight of the small bamboo tube has been completely transformed into a small round iron ring with a cross, which can capture the target faster and shoot more accurately. It's more like a modern rifle, and there are two snipers in each squad, of course, he won't be as brave as today's snipers, but he is also trained according to the training curriculum of today's snipers. Or sharpshooters are more accurate, they use rifles with slightly longer barrels, the range has been increased to 450 meters, and they are equipped with a scope with 1.5 times magnification, and there are assistants, equipped with an ordinary rifle with a scope, as for the telescope, it is one per person, and the rest is standard for ordinary soldiers but does not include gun grenades.

For this reason, the combat methods of the infantry have also changed, and the original two small assault groups have been changed into a cover group and two three-person assault groups, although the formation of the combat group is smaller, but his power is much greater than before, I believe that the role of the blocker is understood by everyone, and I will not say more here.

The 1st Division of the Shenzhou Army is specially equipped with a regiment of transport troops to ensure logistics supply. The regiment consisted of 3,800 people, a total of 1,000 carts, pulled by 4,000 horses, divided into three waves, and the circular transportation ensured the supply of materials to the front. The transportation volume of more than 300 large trucks at a time reaches more than 300 tons, and the average daily moving speed is about 200 kilometers.

The mixed regiment was organized into an artillery battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a communications battalion, an engineer battalion, and a medical battalion.

The communications battalion can establish a reliable communication node within 20 square kilometers to meet the needs of real-time communication on the battlefield.

The engineer battalion was equipped with cranes and equipment for blacksmiths and carpenters, and three companies were equipped with flat-topped chariots equipped with attachment equipment, which allowed to build bridges over rivers up to 200 meters in a relatively short time.

The medical battalion can form a 100-bed division-level field hospital, and is equipped with 15 field transport vehicles to transport medical supplies in peacetime and rescue the wounded on the line of fire in wartime.

The division totaled 20,000 people, two tank regiments and two ranger regiments. The chariot regiment consists of three chariot battalions and two ranger battalions, and the Ranger regiment consists of three Ranger battalions and two chariot battalions, and the whole division is equipped with a total of 750 chariots, of course, excluding foreign mercenaries and transport regiments.

It is worth mentioning that this time the troops were also equipped with mortars, which was the most simple and light type of artillery, and Yue Xiaofei, a big fool, did not apply it at the first time, which was really a big mistake that should not have been made.

Two layers of tight tubes, (two layers of steel pipe interference fit, can improve the strength of the body tube) plus a round chassis totaling thirty kilograms, and all of them are self-propelled, after all, the recoil impact of the 60-mm mortar is not much, and the barrel is sitting on the shock absorber, as if a "mountain" word. The gun uses jujube core-shaped tail stabilized shells, with a maximum range of 500 meters, and is equipped with three types of shells: personnel killing, blasting, and lighting.

Each company is equipped with two artillery squads, each with a vehicle-mounted 60 mm mortar with 100 rounds of ammunition, loaded by a transporter on a modified samurai chariot chassis, which is an infantry close support weapon that provides effective suppressive firepower.

Since there is the First Division of Shenzhou, it doesn't have to be something that Yue Xiaofei and the people of Shenzhou City don't want to see. After all, for them, they have now entered an era of golden taels when a cannon goes off.
