With his own understanding of Yuan Shikai, Yang Xingguo is sure that there must be people with bad intentions in front of him who are more than 1,000 elites of the Beiyang Army.

But, despite this, Yang Xingguo decided to reuse them.

Of course, some people may say that Yang Xingguo is a fool.

Only Yang Xingguo himself knows that he is not stupid at all.

On the surface, those who have evil intentions are likely to become officers because of Yang Xingguo's reuse.

In fact, there are still more than two months before a large-scale battle breaks out between Japan and Russia on the land of Liaodong.

When the time comes, the Liaodong Army will definitely participate in the battle.

After several battles in a row, these people with evil intentions, no matter how hidden they are, he will be exposed.

Yang Xingguo had just returned to the headquarters with more than 1,000 Beiyang elites, and Zhong Hu, the commander of the artillery battalion, was called into the headquarters by Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo did not hesitate, and said directly to the point: "Zhong Hu, today there is an artillery commander from the headquarters who has studied in Japan, and I plan to let him become the commander of the artillery battalion, what do you ......think?"

"Ah......" Yang Xingguo's decision obviously scared Zhong Hu a lot.

However, Zhong Hu still reacted at the first time, and asked eagerly: "Commander, what about me?" ”

"Of course, I will continue to stay in ......the artillery barracks," Yang Xingguo replied.

"It's just that the position is from the battalion commander to the deputy battalion commander......"

As soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Zhong Hu's face became embarrassed.

After all, Zhong Hu did not make any mistakes in the position of commander of the artillery battalion. Just demoted him from battalion commander to deputy battalion commander for no reason, and whoever he puts on him will be unhappy......

After seeing Zhong Hu's expression in his eyes, Yang Xingguo pretended to be dissatisfied and asked, "What...... Zhong Hu, you don't want to ......"

"No...... No, Commander, I just think this news is too sudden......" Zhong Hu quickly shook his head and denied.

Although Zhong Hu said no, the expression on his face at this moment betrayed his mood.

At this time, Yang Xingguo was no longer joking. said directly to Zhong Hu: "Okay, you Zhong Hu, now even I, the commander, dare to deceive......

"If you're not happy, you're not happy, there's nothing bad to say...... If this were to me, I would be unhappy...... "And. Don't be upset, to be honest, you are still far from a qualified artillery battalion commander, otherwise, Lao Tzu would not have arranged for you an artillery commander who had studied in Japan......"

"I told you that after I became the deputy commander of the artillery battalion. Learn from your battalion commander well, and learn everything in your battalion commander's mind in the shortest possible time......"

"I'll tell you the truth, you battalion commander and I have other uses, and I won't keep him as the commander of the artillery battalion. The position of the commander of the artillery battalion will return to you sooner or later. ”

"However, if you let me know, when you were the deputy battalion commander, you didn't learn anything from Zhang Shaozeng. When the time comes, not to mention the deputy commander of the artillery battalion. Even if it's the commander of the artillery company, I won't give you ......."

At this time, the embarrassed expression on Zhong Hu's face finally disappeared.

It was as if he had eaten chicken blood, and he assured Yang Xingguo with excitement: "Please rest assured, commander, I, Zhong Hu, will study hard and learn all the skills of the new commander of the artillery battalion." ”

Yang Xingguo nodded and continued: "Don't give me these fictitious things, I only look at the results......"

"Also, when you were a deputy battalion commander, you still have a mission to learn artillery command, and you still have a ...... task"

"I intend to expand the artillery battalion into four artillery batteries, one baggage company. An infantry company. The artillery company and the baggage company already have them, so I won't say more. This infantry company, I'm going to let you take the company commander as well. ”

"Why form an infantry company in the artillery battalion, I don't say that you also know. That's to protect the artillery. So, you have to get this infantry company into combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time......"

"Please rest assured, commander, I will ensure that the task is ...... completed," Zhong Hu replied confidently.

Less than two hours after Zhong Hu left the headquarters, the order that Zhang Shao had been appointed as the commander of the artillery battalion of the Liaodong Army came out of the headquarters.

It didn't take long for more than a thousand Beiyang elite distribution schemes. The command also took it out.

Excluding the technical branches, there are more than 1,500 elite troops left, all of whom will be divided and integrated into various combat units.

The guard battalion and reconnaissance battalion are selected first, and each battalion selects 50 elite supplementary troops to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Five combat battalions, each divided into two hundred and forty elites, replenished the troops. At the same time, five combat battalions were added, and two combat companies were added each.

Compared to the recruits of the previous two additions, these veterans knew at a glance that they were elite.

Several battalion commanders were not fools and were well aware of the importance of these veterans in a unit.

Therefore, the Beiyang elite of more than 200 people were assigned to each infantry squad as soon as they arrived in the unit, ensuring that each infantry squad could have three Beiyang veterans.

Not only that, but some low-level officers were even directly appointed by these battalion commanders as squad and platoon commanders and company commanders.

In a word, the Liaodong Army, from top to bottom, attaches great importance to these Beiyang elites.

Of course, the attention of the Liaodong Army also made these Beiyang elites from Guannai feel like they were going home.

More than 1,000 people, except for a few officers and men with special missions, can still calmly treat the importance of the Liaodong Army.

All the other officers and soldiers invisibly slowly forgot their former identity as the Beiyang Army and began to integrate into the big family of the Liaodong Army.

At the headquarters of the artillery battalion, Zhang Shaozeng became the commander of the artillery battalion as promised.

However, Zhang Shaozeng was not happy at all.

Because, the Liaodong Army broke them up and mixed up various troops, and directly cut off his contact with other people.

Like Sun Liechen, Zhang Shaozeng also had the mission of stealing the command of the Liaodong Army.

In order to cooperate with him, Yuan Shikai specially arranged more than 20 intelligence officers, scattered among everyone, to cooperate with him at any time.

However, now that I have broken off contact with them, how can I cooperate?

Thinking of Yuan Shikai's kindness to him, before thinking of leaving, Yuan Shikai repeatedly explained to himself.

Zhang Shaozeng, who felt that he was getting farther and farther away from completing the task, was very depressed in his heart.

At this moment, the deputy battalion commander Zhong Hu came.

Seeing that Zhang Shaozeng didn't seem to be in a good mood, he said directly with a straightforward personality: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you are from the Beiyang Army and have studied abroad, so you must look down on our position as the commander of the artillery battalion of the Liaodong Army......."

"Don't worry, the position of commander of the artillery battalion is only a temporary ...... for you"

"I heard from the commander that you only need to stay in the artillery battalion for a while, and let me learn artillery command with you. As soon as I learn, the commander will transfer you to the headquarters and reuse your ......"

Zhang Shaozeng, who had no hope of completing the task, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"You mean, as long as I teach you to command artillery, the commander will transfer me to the headquarters......"

"Yes......" Zhong Hu replied with an affirmative face.

At this time, Zhang Shaozeng's heart immediately opened up.

Since he has cut off contact with his subordinates, it is difficult to complete the task in the position of artillery battalion commander.

Then, with his own ability and hard work, he was promoted to an important position in the headquarters and completed the task by himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaozeng's mood immediately improved, and he asked Zhong Hu.

"Battalion Commander Zhong, don't worry, I will not hide it, and let you learn the orthodox artillery command ...... in the shortest possible time" (to be continued.) )
