Regarding the Xia State's army voluntarily retreated after gaining a comprehensive advantage, all forces outside the Xia State expressed that they could not understand why they did not directly occupy this land like before, and why did they retreat?

But no matter what, the army of Xia State retreated anyway. The lords of the Federation of the Princes said that the result of their resistance taking effect at this time was the victory of their lords and the victory of their Federation of the Princes.

However, after these lords returned to their respective lords with the bustling soldiers, they found that their territory was already unattractive.

The towns that were still emitting black smoke, the trampled fields, and the remains that could be found from time to time in the wilderness all show how tragic their "victory" was.

Especially the territory close to Xia Kingdom in the south is particularly serious, and it can even be said to have turned into a scorched earth.

The Federation of the princes has always been the center of civilization in this world, and both territory and towns have a long history of owners.

However, after this battle, it is difficult to see the prosperous scene of this historic land.

In this battle, the attack on the feudal federation was not only on the towns, population, and army, but also on the local culture and civilization of the world.

...

The war of punishment that lasted more than a month ended with the complete victory of the Xia Kingdom. In addition to the results obtained by the war, it was the result of the inspection of the army.

As the party that took the initiative to retreat, Xia State did not receive war reparations, nor did it occupy land, nor did it propose any victory clauses against the enemy country.

Because Xia Kingdom has already obtained the "victory fruit" they want!

The first thing to be affected is that the weakening of the feudal federation has achieved its expected goal, and it has even been done a little too much, which has weakened the feudal federation too much.

The second is the test of the army. Many problems were found in this war. As soon as Li Jing returned to Zhongjing, he was like Yang Song submitting a summary report on military issues.

"Your Majesty, after this battle, the army has exposed a lot of problems." After Li Jing greeted Yang Song, he went straight to the topic.

"Tell me in detail." Although Yang Song is nearly 50 years old now, his appearance seems to be in his prime and he is still very energetic now.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jing held his fists and reported in detail: "There was nothing unusual after the generals were transferred. The cooperation between the general and the chief of staff was the same as usual."

Li Jing first reported about what happened after the generals were adjusted, but after so many years of war baptism, these generals showed no symptoms of discomfort.

Yang Song nodded about this, saying that he knew that he had not done much concern about this, because these generals were all smart people and did not need his beating.

After seeing Yang Song's statement, Li Jing continued to report: "The newly established Houbao battalion at the division level played a huge role in the war and provided strong support to the army, but..."

When Li Jing said this, he paused for a moment, and after seeing Yang Song's urging expression, he told the problem: "It's just a little bit small. For a division's nearly 40,000 troops, the logistics support of a battalion is still a bit insufficient during the war. If possible, it's best to set up the logistics support army to the regiment level."

Before Yang Song asked, Li Jing explained this: "In this battle, the First Infantry Division defended and counterattacked, and the logistics support was not hindered by the help of militia and reinforcements. However, during the operation, the Second Infantry Division, the Third Mountain Division, and the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division felt the pressure from logistics support every time they divided their troops."

What Li Jing said reminded Yang Song of many details that had never been noticed in this war before.

For example, the marching trajectory of the Third Mountain Division during the attack and the distance of its withdrawal.

For example, the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division will gather again for a period of time not long after each division.

Even the Second Infantry Division has never divided the troops from beginning to end...

Thinking about these details carefully now, it must be caused by some shortcomings in logistics support.

"According to the pharmacist's intention, how should logistics support be configured?" Yang Song solicited opinions from Li Jing, the general of the pillar country who was on the front line.

Li Jing replied: "Reply to Your Majesty, it is enough to have a battalion of logistics support directly under the division level. It is only necessary to add a logistics support company to each infantry regiment so that each infantry regiment can exert its independent combat capabilities."

Among the existing organization in Xia State, the infantry regiment is the most basic organization that can be sent out to fight alone. The battalions and companies under it are just combat units of the army and do not have the authority to fight alone, or they do not have this ability in organization.

Yang Song thought about it and thought Li Jing was right. If only the logistics support troops were set up at the division level, the regiments would not have the ability to fight alone.

"Just do it according to the pharmacist's wishes, and add a logistics support company to each infantry regiment." Yang Song approved Li Jing's suggestion, and then Yang Song asked, "What else?"

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, I suggest that the Marine Corps be set as a separate army in order to exert its own special effects." Li Jing suggested: "I think it is just right to set it as an independent brigade."

"Independent Brigade?" Yang Song was a little confused about this and asked, "Why? What kind of organization is the Independent Brigade?"

"Back to your Majesty, during this battle, the Marine Corps can only follow the fleet because they do not have independent combat capabilities and cannot fully play a role in supporting the land."

After answering Yang Song's why, Li Jing also answered his organization: "I suggest that each battalion be set up directly under the Independent Brigade, with five infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one rear protection battalion that can ensure that it can fight independently."

"Oh? Without a regiment, the independent brigade directly commands the battalions?" After receiving a positive answer from Li Jing, Yang Song's question continued: "How many people are there in an independent brigade?"

Li Jing clasped his fists and replied, "When you go back to your Majesty, the Independent Brigade includes the brigade, there are a total of 15,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry, 150 field artillery and fifty siege artillery."

After hearing Li Jing's detailed answer, Yang Song thought to have equipped the Marine Corps or the independent brigade with a gun battalion, but only 15,000 troops, which is half a heavy equipment division.

"Okay, it's a good thing to increase the Marines' individual combat capabilities, so just do as you said." Yang Song also agreed with Li Jing's suggestion. Although the Marines' troops would be less than one thousand, their overall strength would have increased significantly.

Finally, according to Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song also changed the organization of the logistics support and support army to the size of a single female brigade, with three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion and the most important five rear protection battalions. Including the brigade headquarters, there were 15,000 people, 1,500 cavalrymen, but they were not equipped with artillery.

After Li Jing's adjustment, the strength of an infantry regiment reached 8,900 people, and the strength of an infantry division finally exceeded 50,000, reaching 50,500 people.

However, because the cavalry regiment did not have the ability to fight alone outside for a long time, it was not equipped with logistics support. Therefore, the strength of a heavy-device division only slightly increased to 48,300 people.

After that, according to the latest organization implemented based on Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song also adapted his Yulin Army into the appearance of a newest heavy equipment division to ensure its combat effectiveness.

And the Jinyiwei was slightly adjusted again and became a heavy regiment-level organization, with three infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, two artillery companies, one Houbao Company, and a five hundred Jinyiwei Command Center. There were a total of 8,900 people, sixty field artillery, twenty siege artillery, and three thousand cavalry.

Because the military military police should be sent by the Yulin Army with a larger number of people, the scale of the Jinyiwei has been reduced from 10,000 people to a regiment. With this scale, the troops with this scale can be defended, not to mention defending the palace, even the entire Zhongjing can defend.

According to the latest organization, the army of the Daxia Empire does not include the Yulin Army and the Jinyiwei of Yang Song's personal army, but also the city guards who have completely become domestic security forces and naval fleets.

Only four divisions that have been on the market for combat, a single-female brigade-level Marine Corps and a same-level logistics support and support construction army, the Daxia Empire now has 229,800 military strength!

If all the troops are included, the Daxia Empire's troops will exceed 350,000!
