Finally, the battle came to an end. The Blood Wolf Flag only had seven hundred survivors after the last chaos. Zhang Xiaoqiang's assault team also had more than thirty casualties, and the main force that followed behind had more than a hundred casualties. The only fortunate thing was that they did not use heavy firepower, so there were not many casualties. Most of them were injured, and they only needed to remove the bullets and apply hemostatic powder to save their lives.
"So far, we have a total of three thousand and six hundred casualties on our side. Among them, there are more than one thousand seven hundred from the Golden Flag, eight hundred from the Group of Eight, two hundred from the Garrison Camp, ninety from the Logistic Support Company, forty from the Search Company, two hundred from the Field Battalion, three hundred from the Night Raid, and one hundred from just now."
The Silver Stream Army was resting, and the Blood Wolf Flag was being reorganized with the help of Alatan, Ao Dou, and Lakshin. After Zhao Jun and Li Grassland counted all the casualties, they reported to Zhang Xiaoqiang. When Zhang Xiaoqiang heard that there were so many casualties, he was silent.
"The Golden Flag and the Group of Eight suffered the most casualties. Most of them were killed. Out of the original three thousand, less than four hundred survived. Half of them were injured, and we did not count the light injuries as casualties. In addition, most of the casualties in the Night Raid were from the Golden Wolf Flag.
Because the Garrison Camp had the support of the Search Company and the Logistic Support Company, there were more injured than dead, and the lightly injured were also counted as casualties. Also, the Cavalry Camp was the most complete, there were no casualties. In addition, Commander Xu Hao sent news that they found nearly two thousand defeated soldiers. Including the ones found last night, we have already accepted two thousand six hundred defeated soldiers. I believe that we can accept the remaining one thousand as well. "
When Zhang Xiaoqiang heard this, he felt a little better. Most of the casualties were from Iron Zhongyuan's troops. Although it was a little unfair, it was still better than losing his own people.
"How many troops do we have now?
Also, tell me the number of Silver Stream Army … "
After this battle, Zhang Xiaoqiang was the biggest winner. Although there were many accidents, in general, they had exceeded the target. Now, it was time to enjoy the results.
"We have 523 men from the Garrison Battalion, 300 of which were recruited as emergency replacements. 80 men from the Search Company, 109 from the Logistics Company, 300 from the Cavalry Battalion, and 750 from the Field Battalion. Three of the companies were previously stationed in Qi County and were transferred here as reinforcements. In addition, there are 807 men from Lu Qishan's Independent Regiment. The 1,800 men from the Cavalry Battalion were not included in the establishment. Altogether, we have more than 2,500 soldiers. After the reorganization, I believe that our number will reach 3,500 men.
Since last night, the Silver Stream Army has been fighting conservatively, so there were not many casualties. Just now, they took the initiative to report the number of soldiers. So far, they still have one thousand three hundred people, and three hundred and fifty-two of them are injured. Excluding the logistics and non-combat personnel, they only have eight hundred people …
In addition, there are more than one thousand seven hundred soldiers from the Gold Wolf Flag, eight hundred soldiers from the Black Wolf Flag, and five hundred soldiers from the Blood Wolf Flag. Now, there are more than one thousand four hundred soldiers from the Gold Wolf Flag. If we don't count the surrendered soldiers from the Blood Wolf Flag, then Tie Zhongyuan's force is more than three thousand … "
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang let out a long sigh. Tie Zhongyuan was the same as him, they both had the halo of a pig's feet. After fighting such a serious battle, they did not suffer any losses, and they even obtained a large number of experienced soldiers. If the surrendered soldiers from the Blood Wolf Flag were to be handed over to Tie Zhongyuan, then his army would be the strongest, even stronger than him.
"The troops from the Blood Wolf Flag do not need to be merged into the Gold Wolf Flag. They will still maintain their independent numbers. Appoint Alatan Ao Du as the Flag Commander, and Lakeshon as the Deputy Flag Commander. They will retain their equipment, and in name, they will be considered allies. Tell Alatan Ao Du that if he is obedient, he will be a commander and be on equal footing with Tie Zhongyuan."
When Zhang Xiaoqiang made this decision to split the Mongolian army, he still could not rest assured about Tie Zhongyuan. This person was very smart, and it was precisely because he was too smart that he decided to retain his support for Tie Zhongyuan, at least when he did not have the absolute advantage.
"Yes, what about the arrangements for the defeated soldiers of the alliance army?
What kind of organization will they use?
Also, if it is a separate organization, the main officer will choose … "
Zhao Jun asked carefully. If the defeated soldiers of the alliance army were not a separate organization, but directly added to the existing organization, his field battalion might be able to expand to a field regiment. At that time, wouldn't he be the regiment commander?
The defeated soldiers of the alliance army were a pleasant surprise, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have a specific plan in mind. He hesitated for a long time before saying,
"Expand the independent regiment to 1200 people. Among them, all those who have been soldiers before or are on active duty in the past, transfer all of them. In addition, transfer two of the company commanders who have meritorious service this time to be the deputy regiment commander and the chief of staff. Tell Lu Qishan that if he leads this independent regiment well, his temporary regiment commander position will be able to become the official one."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun felt a little envious. Lu Qishan did not say a word, did not fight a single battle, and only listened to orders to train new soldiers to become the official regiment commander. How lucky!
"In addition, transfer another 400 people to the cavalry battalion and use the captured warhorses to establish a new cavalry battalion. Transfer two deputy company commanders who have meritorious service to be the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion. Promote Xu Hao to the regiment commander of the cavalry battalion, and make Ishihara the chief of staff of the cavalry battalion. Tell Xu Hao that I sent Ishihara to teach him how to be a regiment commander. Don't neglect him …"
The second regiment commander was born, and it was still Xu Hao, who had no meritorious service. This made Zhao Jun feel better. Xu Hao and Lu Qishan, who had no meritorious service, were both regiment commanders. Didn't that mean he would have no problem?
"Add 800 soldiers who have been soldiers before or are of higher quality to the field battalion. Establish a main regiment with three main battalions. I will be the regiment commander myself, the deputy regiment commander will be Ding Ziqiang, and the chief of staff will be … He Miaomiao …"
At that time, Zhao Jun was stunned by Zhang Xiaoqiang's words. Not only was he not a regiment commander, he was not even mentioned which department he was in. This made his heart spin like a roller coaster, up and down.
"Li Yao, expand the garrison battalion to 1,000 people. Establish the first garrison regiment with three battalions of 300 people each. They will be stationed in important residential areas. In addition, prepare two more garrison regiments. Li Caoyuan will be the regiment commander of the second regiment, and you will be the regiment commander of the third regiment. The three garrison regiments will be merged into a garrison division. I will be the division commander, and you will be the deputy division commander …"
Suddenly, Zhao Jun calmed down. Not only had he become the regiment commander, but he had also become the division commander. There was no better news than this. He knew the significance of Zhang Xiaoqiang's decision. The most important thing was balance. It was impossible for Zhang Xiaoqiang to concentrate all the military power in the hands of one person. Although he was the commander of the garrison division in name, the actual commander was Zhao Jun. However, the two regiments under him were all trusted subordinates of Zhang Xiaoqiang, so he was not worried that anything would happen to him.
In addition, Zhang Xiaoqiang controlled the main force in his own hands, which also guaranteed that the strongest combat force would not have any problems. Just like when Zhang Xiaoqiang was the commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, all the soldiers under him were Zhang Xiaoqiang's direct subordinates, and no one else could influence them.
"Li Zhongyue will remove the commander of the search company and become the leader of the search company. He will be in charge of three platoons, and the number of people will be 180. Priority will be given to high-quality soldiers and weak evolutionaries. Assign useless evolutionaries such as Lan Ting and Ai Ai to him …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's decision set off a storm in Zhao Jun's heart. Zhang Xiaoqiang had finally released the evolutionaries. It should be known that the evolutionaries had always been under Zhang Xiaoqiang's control. The evolutionaries had always been the trump card that Zhang Xiaoqiang could not forget.
"This, Zhang Xiaoqiang, if we reorganize like this, we will not have enough soldiers. We have reached the limit of our reserve soldiers, and if we continue to transfer them, all the work units will have to rely on women …"
After a few battles, a large number of men had been lost. Zhao Jun had to remind Zhang Xiaoqiang that the population in the rear could not withstand such a loss, especially when the Mongolians outnumbered the Hans.
Hearing Zhao Jun's complaint, Zhang Xiao Qiang's mood suddenly improved. He smiled and said,
He smiled and said, "The Yin Chuan Army did not just surrender to us verbally. Now, on the grassland, besides me, only Tie Zhongyuan's troops are left. In the eyes of the Yin Chuan Army, Tie Zhongyuan is my man. The combined forces of both sides are 10 times that of the Yin Chuan Army.
So, everything in the Yin Chuan Army is mine. Their 50,000 people, hundreds of evolutionaries, and their research units are all mine. I can let them maintain their own organization, but everything else, including supplies, ammunition, and large equipment, they will all have to give me … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's arrangement of the Yin Chuan Army made Zhao Jun very excited. Besides the Yin Chuan Army, there was also the population of the allied army. The total population was enough to multiply their current population by several times. With enough population, there would be enough soldiers, and with enough population, there would be enough labor. As long as they did the mining and logistics, they would have a steady supply of resources.
