"I heard." Everyone replied.

a few days later.

News from the front.

The battle of Nanchang was a great victory, the enemy has retreated to Wanling, and will not pose a threat to Nanchang for the time being.

Xu Ding asked the infantry in Nanchang City to retreat to southern Hunan for garrison.

If the enemy attacks Nanchang again, the cavalry in Nanchang will also retreat to southern Hunan.

The reason for this arrangement was that Xu Ding and Guo Jia were going to leave Jingnan and go to Xuchang to participate in the formation of a new army.Without Xu Ding there, it is not realistic to hold Nanchang.So, simply prepare to retreat in advance.

"Your Majesty is going back to Xuchang."

Jia Xu felt happy for a while.

He was ordered to form the second army, and he was busy for a few days. Although he was in good order, he was still not sure.I always feel that something is wrong and I can't change it.Now Xu Ding will come back, just to complete the new army.

You must know that the Second Army is the main force against the Western Shang Empire.

After this army is established, it must undertake the important task of resisting the enemy, and there must be no mistakes in the slightest.

Jia Xu is dedicated to serving the public, and doesn't care about credit or rewards.As long as the troops can be organized well, anyone can direct the training.It is better to train in person.

time passes unknowingly

It's the beginning of June.

All the soldiers from Hebei arrived in Xuchang City.

Under Jia Xu's arrangement, he joined the Second Army.

Xu Ding and Guo Jia also came back.

Inside the imperial study.

Jia Xu reported to Xu Ding: "The second group army has been established, and the training tasks have been completed very well. The armies have also made progress. However, I don't quite understand the subjects of the training. Does Your Majesty have any suggestions?"

"What is the current training subject?"

Jia Xu took out a notebook and put it on the desk.

Xu Ding picked it up and looked at it.

There are mainly several types of training subjects currently formulated.One is rifle shooting. Millions of bullets are produced every day for soldiers to practice.The second is to throw grenades.Need to be fast.Considering that there are not many grenades, stones are temporarily used instead.Throwing a stone is accurate, and throwing a grenade is not too bad.The third is bayonet fighting.Every soldier carried a bayonet.When handing over soldiers with the enemy, it is necessary to fight with bayonets.

"And, how many bullets do we have? How long can we use millions of bullets every day?" Xu Ding put down his notebook and said, "Stop it quickly, all the bullets must be stored for use on the battlefield."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have a lot of bullets, and they will definitely be enough." Jia Xu said.

"It's enough now, but it doesn't mean it will be enough in the future. We can't make this thing, so we have to save it."

Jia Xu said: "The soldiers have never used rifles, so they can't shoot accurately. If you don't spare some bullets and let them practice, how can they go to the battlefield?"

Xu Ding said: "A lot of battles do not require soldiers to have accurate shooting skills. Just shoot at the enemy's position. Because you can't see the enemy clearly. If you must master accurate shooting skills, you can form some small troops, Let some people have superb skills and let them play a role in specific occasions."

Chapter 843? Training Special Forces

Jia Xu seemed to remember something.

He said: "Your Majesty, you said to form some small troops to play a role on specific occasions. I remembered that Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong encountered a small army in the battle in Guangling. According to Huang Zhong's report, the enemy only There are 100 people, we have thousands of people, and set up an ambush in advance. But the enemy broke through our direction with zero casualties, and our army fled in embarrassment."

"That's the special forces of the Western Shang Empire." Xu Ding also knew about it.

"Can we also train a group of such troops? It will definitely be of great use in the future."

"Yes. It's just the training of special forces, which is very difficult. It requires the best of the best, a lot of professional knowledge, and familiarity with the operation of all weapons."

"No matter how elite troops are, aren't they also trained? Since Your Majesty has returned to Xuchang, can you personally train a batch? In this way, our large troops will not practice shooting for the time being, and only let the soldiers aim and learn basic movements. Your Majesty's special forces , you can use real guns and live ammunition to train a group of sharpshooters." Jia Xu said.

"This."

Xu Ding, as a traveler from later generations, has some understanding of special forces.But these understandings come from TV and newspapers, which are not true.

If he wants to train special forces for war, he really doesn't have much confidence.

"The Western Shang Empire has special forces, so we must have them too. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in the war. And this matter, only His Majesty can do it." Jia Xu said.

"Okay, I'll try."

Make a promise.

Only he can barely handle the training of special forces.

Others don't even know how to train.

As for the training and combat effectiveness, it is unknown.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little worried about the battle on the front line. Whether it's Yangzhou or Jingzhou, it's very difficult to fight. The enemy didn't know our close combat ability at the beginning, and they suffered a short-term loss. Once they react, they will definitely have countermeasures. Let's think again. Winning is very difficult.”

"The troops on the front line are almost all the elites of our empire."

"In case of carelessness, the battle will be defeated, and the enemy army will drive straight into the Central Plains. How can we resist?"

Jia Xu said worriedly.

Xu Ding nodded: "It is precisely for this reason that I asked you to form the second army. If the front line falls, our newly formed troops will immediately step up."

"What I'm worried about is that I won't be able to wait for that time." Jia Xu said anxiously.

"What's your idea?"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "The Second Army's equipment is sufficient now, so there is no need to bring it back from the front. If the enemy's weapons are captured, they can keep them for use. Gradually replace them with new weapons."

"In addition, Liu Bei's troops should be included in the Central Plains Field Army, under the command of Huang Zhong. Or give him a new designation. At least in name, it should belong to the Chinese Empire."

"The number of the first group army retreating to southern Hunan is too small. In order to resist the troops of the Western Shang Empire coming from Jiangdong, 2 or [-] people should be transferred from Xiangyang to help the battle, and they should also be included in the first group army."

"In this way, the frontline battle will be safe."

Xu Ding got up and took two steps, thinking carefully.

When the first group army was formed, considering that the enemy was too powerful, all those who joined the group army were the best soldiers in the whole army.But it turns out that no matter how good a soldier is, they are not enough in front of the weapons of the Western Shang Empire.When the shells hit, they were invincible.

Almost all of the second army formed now are recruits.

Compared with the previous troops, the gap is huge.
