At this time, there is still a week before the official opening of the military school.

The regiments and departments of the entire Iron Blood Brigade are busy screening the cadets of the military academy, and the instructors who teach are mainly drawn from the special commanders of the Iron Blood Brigade.

Aspiring young people in Taiyuan City have also signed up, hoping to join the military academy.

In short, the hottest thing in Taiyuan at this time is the opening day of the military academy.

Predator Brigade Commander's Office.

Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang are the main persons in charge of the military academy, and now the two are reporting to Li Yunlong on the latest progress of the military academy.

About an hour later, the report of the two was finally over, and Li Yunlong pointed out the problems and said: "You can handle the affairs of the military academy, you don't have to report everything to me!" But I have something I'd like to discuss with you! ”

"Oh? What's up? Zhao Gang asked curiously.

Li Yunlong hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "I think it's time for our Iron Blood Brigade to implement the rank system, what do you think?" ”

Rank?

When Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao heard this, they looked at each other, and then they both looked at Li Yunlong.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, on the one hand, it was to embody the principle of equality between officers and soldiers and to show that everyone was equal.

On the other hand, it is also to lure the enemy so that he cannot find the main point to hit the target. Because of the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, the little devil also understands, and in wartime, he must first choose an officer with a large military rank to kill him, and if the military rank system is not implemented, there will be no worries in this regard.

Due to various reasons, the Eighth Route Army has not implemented the military rank system within the Eighth Route Army, and only a small number of the main generals of the Eighth Route Army have military ranks.

During the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War, commanders at all levels on the front line of the Eighth Route Army did not wear military rank badges even if they had military ranks, which was also to reflect the principle of equality between officers and soldiers.

Therefore, at present, all units of the Eighth Route Army do not implement the military rank system.

But the role of the rank system is very large!

When Zhao Gang heard this, he immediately looked at Li Yunlong with a serious expression and said, "Lao Li, do you mean that our Iron Blood Brigade is going to implement a military rank system?" I am afraid that this is a violation of the principle of unanimity among our officers and soldiers! Did the boss agree to this? ”

Li Yunlong also said solemnly: "You and I also know the role of military ranks, and they can play an important role in management during war. ”

"If our Iron Brigade wants to become strong, the implementation of the military rank system is a necessary process!"

In the era when there was no military rank, the first thing to identify the commander of the Eighth Route Army was face recognition, after all, every soldier knew who his commander was.

The second is that officers generally wear a satchel on their bodies, which is used to store official documents. When the Japanese soldiers saw the one wearing a satchel, they knew that it was a cadre, and they tried their best to catch it alive. In addition to the satchel, there are also firearms that are used. At that time, the soldiers generally used the 38 Dagai rifle or the Hanyang-made rifle, while the cadres used the barge gun, that is, the box gun.

In addition, the way to identify the officers of the Eighth Route Army is to identify them by the accessories on their bodies. The officer will have an equipment belt to carry the pistol case, while the soldier will have a gun pouch to carry the ammunition. In addition, some high-end officers were equipped with telescopes, watches, and other items, which were rare at the time, and ordinary soldiers would certainly not have these things.

It's just that these methods of identifying officers are too cumbersome and inaccurate, and they are not as practical as the rank system.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao and said, "Old Zhao, Zhang Dabiao, this military rank system is very necessary!" It can increase the convenience of management, and it can be a certain incentive! ”

Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Lao Li, the role of military rank is very great, and it is also of great significance to the troops, but is it necessary for our iron-blooded brigade to implement the military rank system now?" ”

"The rank system is of course very important. Military ranks represent military ranks, enhance military personnel's sense of responsibility and honor, promote the regularization of the armed forces, strengthen the coordination of command, management, and support among the various branches of the armed forces, and facilitate international exchanges. ”

"The military rank system can clarify the command relationship, responsibility and mutual relationship in the army, and it is also an honor given by the state to soldiers."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao and said: "Let me give you a simple example, if a unit is broken up and the formation is defeated, we can rely on stragglers with military ranks."

.......................

Zhang Dabiao said: "But this official position can also be!" ”

"It's hard to say!" Li Yunlong said: "Once the establishment is dispersed, there will be no point in dispersing the position. For example, the soldiers of the first squad will not necessarily obey the second squad leader, but this military rank system is different, the military rank system can clarify the relationship between command and subordination, and can quickly clarify the relationship in the battlefield, and then effectively fight. ”

Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were both persuaded by Li Yunlong.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Gang suddenly said: "Lao Li, have you ever thought about a situation, that is, in a battle, the first enemy to attack is our high-ranking commanders. This increases our danger! ”

"This is easy to do, and you can temporarily take off the rank during the war. Avoid being a target for your enemies and identify yourself if you have communication difficulties! ”

Li Yunlong clapped in an undoubted tone: "Lao Tzu has decided, so I'll do it."

"I've decided, the Iron Brigade implements a military rank system!" Li Yunlong clapped his head and said: "The award ceremony will be held at the opening ceremony of the military academy!" ”

Listening to Li Yunlong's decision, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao had no opinions, and resolutely carried out Li Yunlong's orders.

The implementation of the military rank system is a necessary process for the iron-blooded brigade to go through the road to a strong army.

The Eighth Route Army did not implement the rank system, and now Li Yunlong has implemented the rank system in the Iron and Blood Brigade, which can be regarded as a bold move.

After a week, all the things in the military school are ready, and now it is just waiting for the start of school.

The first batch of cadets of the military academy is a total of 680 people, of which 420 are from the 10 main infantry regiments of the Iron and Blood Brigade "700" and the main forces such as the artillery regiment and the cavalry regiment, 180 people are from the recruits, these are the new recruits and soldiers who have joined the Iron and Blood Brigade, and the last 80 people are people with lofty ideals from the society.

This is the composition of the first cadet of the military school.

It is worth mentioning that this time Li Xiangyang and Zhou Gang are responsible for recruiting recruits, and in just two months, the strength of 10 regiments has been expanded, about 30,000 recruits, and the current strength of the entire iron-blooded brigade has exceeded 60,000!

Although it is still the number of a brigade, the strength of the army has exceeded that of a division, or even the strength of an army.

The strength of 10 regiments is nearly 30,000, and this training of new recruits is also an arduous process, but this can still be done for the Iron and Blood Brigade, after all, this is a unit that has experienced several bloody battles.

After nearly half a month of renovation, a military school has been renovated, although it is still relatively simple but has been basically perfected.

At this time, the military academy is very lively, and there are lights everywhere, which is very festive, because today is the opening day of the military academy.

"Head Li, are you here?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect our Iron Brigade to also have a military academy!"

"It's a shame that I wasn't selected by the military school!"

"This time the opening ceremony of the military academy is a grand event of the Iron and Blood Brigade, so many people have come to participate!"

"Military Academy, this is the hope that the descendants of our dragon will take off!"
