Vol 2 Chapter 600: Only death battle!

The promotion paths for regular class students are even wider, because their educational level is already relatively good, so they don't need to waste time to learn cultural knowledge after admission, they just learn military knowledge.

They must first complete a three-month primary course, including physical training, basic military common sense, and basic command, etc. After completing the primary course, they will be awarded the rank of warrant officer.

At this time, it is basically considered that he has entered the threshold of the Great Tang Wangshi, becoming one of the official officers, and can still get a salary.

But it's not over yet!

After completing the primary course, they will choose a subject to continue their in-depth study according to their personal wishes and learning talents, including footwork, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and transportation, respectively corresponding to the infantry and cavalry in the Datang Army. , artillery, baggage, engineer and other arms.

Arms specialized knowledge learning, this stage is two months.

After the above five months of study, you can basically master the most basic troop command ability. Of course, the level depends on the student's own learning talent. After all, the five months of study is very intensive. Yes, students basically do not have much rest time from morning to evening, and the curriculum is very closely arranged. If students are not talented enough, it is actually difficult to keep up with such intensive courses.

There is no way to do this. Today's Datang Army is still at war, and the Datang Army is in the process of rapid expansion. There is a considerable shortage of grassroots officers, especially those who have been systematically trained.

If the training time is too long, it is difficult to get enough qualified officers in a short time.

After five months of study, these students go through the third stage of their studies: going to the various boot camps for internships!

The content of learning is to complete the training of recruits under the guidance of the instructors of the recruit battalion, to have preliminary practical experience and master the skills of training troops and commanding operations. After all, after graduation, students of these martial arts schools are usually dispatched to the army to directly serve as officers. Yes, give them some experience in the recruit camp, and it will prevent them from scrambling and not knowing what to do when they arrive in the army.

After completing the one-month internship, they will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and then they will be assigned according to the examination results at the time of graduation. Most of them are assigned to serve as platoon leaders or vice-captains in ordinary troops. This is not a transition, but will serve as soon as they go actual job.

However, a very small number of those with excellent grades directly apply for the Imperial Academy, but now the educational system of Imperial Academy is longer, and it is also divided into various subjects. The first year is a full-time study of pure theory, and the first half of the second year enters various schools. Internships in the army and awarded the rank of lieutenant, usually serving as the combat staff of regiment-level and brigade-level troops.

After this round of theoretical study and internship, they still haven't graduated from Imperial Academy, because Imperial Academy's latest schooling system is three years.

In the second half of the second year, they will be transferred back from the field troops and then serve in various departments in the Privy Council. Those with average grades will hold ordinary positions in the various departments, while the few with the highest grades will be assigned to the combat department. , as a combat staff officer.

The combat staff in the combat department can be exposed to high-level affairs of the army, planning detailed combat plans, etc., and can also learn from the senior combat staff in the combat department. Because of the particularity of the work of the combat department, Therefore, the combat staff in the combat department has actually become the second echelon of the senior officers of the Datang Army. Therefore, it is of great significance to them that these outstanding students of Yuxuetang can enter the internship here.

After the last year of internship, the students of the Royal Academy are considered to have completed their studies, and then they will be awarded the rank of captain and re-dispatched to each unit to directly serve as the captain.

But for Yuxuetang students, the title of captain is just too much for them in the early stage, because the Datang Army is extremely short of high-end talents. A mid-level core officer in the Tang Army.

This set of educational systems for the martial arts school and the imperial school was only implemented in March after entering the capital of Zhaoqing. The students in the school graduated twice, while the students of the imperial school did not graduate.

Therefore, the main body of officers in the Tang Dynasty is still the officers who were recruited directly from traditional students in the early stage and studied in the Imperial Academy. Therefore, the army has a strong scholar atmosphere.

Ouyang Gui is a typical scholar officer in the Tang Army, but compared with others, his starting point is higher!

He used to be a pseudo-scholar, and he did not enter the Imperial Academy at first, but first entered the Ministry of War as a civil officer, and later when he formed the Navy, because before his family fell, his family operated a ship shop and sailed ships. I was familiar with it, so I was transferred to the Naval Division of the Privy Council to serve as a civilian naval officer, and he started very high. He just transferred to a civilian officer in the past, and he was already a major, second only to Bao Yifen at that time.

In the days of the Navy, although he was only a civilian naval officer, in fact, there are not many professional naval officers in the Datang Navy today. Most of the officers and soldiers came from the army full-time. It is enough not to be seasick, and some are directly recruited sailors and ship bosses.

How about a naval battle? I'm sorry, but few people in the huge Tang Navy really understand this stuff.

How to fight a war at sea, of course, I can only study it slowly by myself, and then **** little by little, even if I want to learn, I don't have to learn.

You must know that the newly opened Naval Professional Officer Academy, the Marine Academy, has recruited more than 100 students, but to be honest, what should be taught to them and how to teach them, the navy is actually out of line, it can only be chaos Teach, and then take the students on the ship every day to explore and learn, focusing on sailing knowledge, as for tactics?

I'm sorry, the current Datang Navy has no systematic tactics for fighting, at most there is artillery, and this artillery is also learned from the army.

There are no qualified professional naval officers in the navy, so Ouyang Gui, a civilian naval officer, was able to be assigned to Lianzhou to form a naval squadron after sitting in the office for a few months.

And his rank has also gradually increased with the expansion of the scale of the Lianzhou Fleet, from major to lieutenant colonel, and then to colonel.

On the eve of the Battle of Qiongzhoufu, after the Second Squadron was formally established, he also became the first Commander of the Second Squadron, and his rank was also promoted to Rear Admiral.

This is also the second rear admiral in the naval system, and his status is not ordinary.

However, even being a civilian officer does not mean that Ouyang Gui is weaker than other naval officers. In fact, Ouyang Gui's ability to reach today is inseparable from his ability.

Although he has never led a fleet to fight a naval battle, in the past few months, he has been thinking hard, and he has imagined how to fight a naval battle countless times in his mind.

So after ordering the entire fleet to prepare for battle, Ouyang Gui ordered the main fleet under his command to start accelerating and then move forward.

Although he had never fought a war, he knew very well that the main task of this sea crossing operation was not to defeat how many Ming navy ships, but to successfully cover the landing of the army.

Therefore, he did not allow the Ming army navy on the opposite side to rush up and wreak havoc on the transport ships in the rear.

After the 16 large ships of the main fleet and the more than 30 small ships at the back began to accelerate, the several Ming army navy ships on the opposite side did not meet, but turned and turned directly.

However, at this moment, the lookout on the mast of Lianzhou suddenly shouted: "Enemy fleet!"

Although Ouyang Gui couldn't find the Ming army navy fleet on the sea due to the curvature of the earth at this time, it did not mean that the watchmen who climbed the mast could not see it. Otherwise, why would it be? Let the lookouts climb the mast and use larger telescopes to observe!

Soon, a navy major trotted in front of Ouyang Gui: "Reporting to the general, I found that there are twenty-two large ships and more than thirty small ships of the enemy ships, about twelve kilometers away from the vanguard of our fleet, and heading towards our fleet at a high speed. Come on, the speed is 6 kilometers, which is comparable to the speed of our fleet. If our fleet and the enemy fleet maintain the same speed and course, it is expected that they will engage with my avant-garde in half an hour!"

At this moment, Ouyang Gui frowned slightly and said, "There are twenty-two large ships, and there are more than thirty small ships. This is more than expected!"

But he quickly said: "Send orders to the ships of the main fleet, and have them follow the flagship to turn ten degrees to the left, and accelerate the sprint to seize the upper hand!"

"Send an order to Colonel Li to lead the transport fleet to turn right to avoid the battle area and continue to launch a landing!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at a group of naval officers behind him who were mostly transferred from the army: "This is the first battle of our Datang Navy, I hope you all fight bravely, and you must not let the army friends behind you see a joke, and in the future Said that my navy has no loyal soldiers!"

Numerous naval officers all said with heavy expressions on their faces:

"Job understands"

"I will never humiliate the prestige of the navy!"

"Let those army natives watch, my navy is also a good man!"

At this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ouyang Guicai nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Raise the flag of the official and the general, and raise the flag of the battle!"

At this time, Li Yanxi, who was a colonel in the rear transport fleet, also saw the semaphore waving by the flag soldiers on the front flagship. For a while, he clenched his fists and his face became extremely ugly.

Luo Youbin, the commander of the Second Mixed Regiment, who was wearing the army colonel's uniform beside him, could not understand the semaphore of the navy. Seeing that Li Yanxi's expression was not very good, he immediately asked, "What's the matter? And the black dragon with a red triangle on the top. What does the flag mean?"

Li Yanxi said: "Master Ouyang has decided to lead the main fleet to entangle the enemy fleet to cover our transport fleet to continue to cross the sea and land. As for the triangular red-bottomed black dragon flag, it is the decisive battle flag of our navy, which means..."

Having said that, he paused for a while, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Datang Navy, fight to the death!"

After saying that, he also stopped paying attention to Luo Youbin, and then said to the adjutant beside him: "Send the fleet to turn 20 degrees to the right, and then send a semaphore to the flagship: I wish the commander a great victory and return!"

After receiving the semaphore from Li Yanxi of the rear transport fleet, Ouyang Gui on the Lianzhou smiled slightly and said: This victory is unpredictable, only the death battle!
