"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 583
Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, transferred the two deputy battalion commanders of the First Banner Battalion, and promoted Zhou Han, who had a high military quality and prestige, as the acting banner battalion commander, clearing the way for him.
Zhou Han, the acting banner battalion commander, is naturally not a fool, so he is also full of gratitude to the banner commander Han Feng.
?Because he jumped directly from the position of a thousand generals to serve as the acting banner battalion commander, the two deputy banner battalion commanders must not be convinced.
However, one of the two deputy banner battalion commanders is in charge of logistics, and the other is in charge of intelligence investigation. If they suddenly become military chief officers, they will not be competent for a while.
Originally, there was also a deputy banner battalion commander who assisted the banner battalion commander in commanding operations, but due to needs, he was transferred to the recruit training camp as the deputy chief instructor, responsible for training recruits, and this position has been vacant.
Therefore, Han Feng, the head of the Banner, could only promote Zhou Han, a thousand people who performed relatively well, were familiar with the First Banner Battalion, and had been leading troops in frontline battles.
Due to the rapid expansion of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, there was an extreme shortage of officers at all levels.
Especially those excellent generals who can command operations are even more scarce. Although the War College is already training officers, it will not be able to solve the problem of insufficient officers at all levels for a while.
Now Yue Shan, the commander of the First Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment, made a mistake, and the people from the Military Judicial Department caught the handle.
If it is not dealt with, it is tantamount to flouting the military law. If officers at all levels in all units follow suit, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although Han Feng, the head of the banner, did not want to get rid of Yue Shan, the battalion commander of the banner, but the situation forced him to get rid of Yue Shan when he hit the gun.
"Zhou Han, I will leave the First Banner Battalion to you. Don't let me down."
When Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, was leaving, he repeatedly asked Zhou Han, the newly promoted acting head of the Banner Battalion, to hope that he would revive the 1st Banner Battalion and not let him down.
After all, the Second Army of the Qinghe Army is now expanding, and news has already spread that Chen Ziang intends to add another deputy army commander.
Han Feng is now the head of the 12th Banner. Although he doesn't say it on the surface, he actually wants to fight for the position of deputy head of the army.
His competitors are Zhou Ba of the First Banner Regiment, Lu Fatty of the Ninth Banner Regiment, and Lei Ming of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment.
If he wants to stand out and be promoted to the deputy head of the army, then he has to lead the 12th Banner Regiment to make meritorious deeds and win everyone's approval, otherwise, he has no hope.
The Twelfth Banner Regiment under his command has a total of four banner battalions, which is the capital of his meritorious deeds.
Now that the war is imminent, and such a thing happened in the First Banner Battalion, he is actually very upset.
So he is also full of expectations for the newly promoted acting banner battalion commander Zhou Han, hoping that he can revive the No. 1 Banner Battalion as soon as possible and restore the combat effectiveness of the No. 1 Banner Battalion.
After all, the Twelfth Banner Regiment only has such a small force. If one banner battalion is missing, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. He has no way to compete with other troops.
"Don't worry, Master Banner, I will do my best!"
Zhou Han also repeatedly assured Han Feng, the head of the Banner, that the First Banner Battalion would restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
"If there is any difficulty, if anyone refuses to accept you, you can't solve it by yourself, just come to me."
Han Feng worried that Zhou Han had just taken office and lacked prestige, so he also gave him a guarantee and was willing to be his backing.
"Master Banner, I really have a little difficulty here, and I hope you can help solve it."
Hearing Han Feng, the head of the banner group, Zhou Han, the acting head of the banner battalion, was not polite, and directly asked about the difficulty.
"You are so impolite, boy." Han Feng scolded with a smile.
"Tell me, what is the difficulty? If you ask me to find you a wife, I won't do it. I can't afford to lose that person."
Zhou Han chuckled and said, "That's possible. The world is not in peace. I'm in a hurry to marry a wife."
"Tell me, what difficulties do you have?" Han Feng stared at Zhou Han and asked.
Zhou Han rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Master Banner Commander, you see that our First Banner Battalion has lost so much this time, and now there are more than 2,000 people short of staff. I wonder if you can make up some brothers for us?"
"You think that your first banner battalion is short of people. Now all the troops are seriously short of dead, wounded, and sick. Where can I go to replenish you?"
"You should overcome this matter yourself first, don't you still have more than two thousand brothers, take care of it, the same is trueA group of howling tigers and wolves. "
The twelfth and thirteenth banner regiments led by deputy army commander Yuan Jie broke into Jiangnan province.
Although they were so powerful that they defeated the garrisons of the Southern Army everywhere, but as time went by, their casualties were gradually increasing.
Especially those militia private soldiers commanded by wealthy families, they are well-trained and well-equipped, which caused a lot of trouble for the Qinghe army.
Now there are shortages in all units, but because they are far away from Jiangbei Province, it is difficult to replenish them for a while.
Although the troops are currently short of personnel, they can barely maintain their combat effectiveness because the shortage of personnel is not too serious.
However, the situation of the First Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment was different. They lost almost half of their battle in Taiyun County, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
That's why the newly appointed acting banner battalion commander Zhou Han asked the banner commander Han Feng to give them additional troops.
"Master Banner, is there really no way to replenish the troops?" Zhou Han asked tentatively.
"You ask me who I want, and I ask who is going. Even if Jiangbei Province sends recruits, it will take at least ten days and a half months. Just bear with it."
"But the First Banner Battalion is severely understaffed, which does affect combat effectiveness."
"Master Banner, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it should be said or not."
"I said why are you so lazy, just say what you have to say, and I won't blame you." Han Feng said angrily.
Zhou Han looked at Han Feng, the head of the banner, and said, "I wonder if I can organize the prisoners on the spot to make up for the war damage?"
"Well, you want to add prisoners of war to the army?"
"Now we have captured 50,000 to 60,000 prisoners from the southern army, civilian army, and garrison camp. Instead of letting them consume food, it is better to let them fight with us." Zhou Han said.
"But now only the screening work has been completed, and they have not been rectified and educated. Do you dare to use it?"
The Qinghe Army generally detains prisoners of war first, and waits for the end of the battle before further screening, rectification and education.
Those who committed the most heinous crimes were reformed through labor, while the soldiers who were generally captured were released.
Now that Zhou Han is boldly planning to incorporate these prisoners who have not been rectified and educated into the army for combat, Han Feng, the head of the banner, is also a little hesitant.
Because he still doesn't trust these captives, once weapons are issued to them, if they fight back on the battlefield, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot.
"Master Banner, I don't want too much, just give me 5,000 people, and I guarantee that they will be obedient."
"Of course, I also asked for a certain authority to deal with it. If they dare to turn their backs on the battlefield, I will make an example of them."
"Okay, I'll give you five thousand people, but you have to be vigilant to me, don't shoot yourself in the foot."
After some hesitation, Han Feng, the head of the banner, decided to support Zhou Han.
After all, Zhou Han has just taken office, if his first request is rejected, wouldn't it be a blow to his self-confidence.
However, Han Feng also repeatedly asked to take care of these prisoners of war and not let them make trouble. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
