Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with ecstasy, and their bodies subconsciously sat up straight.

Chu Feng saw the little gestures of his four partners and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He casually tossed aside the commendation telegram from the government, took out the goodies he had prepared, and said with a smile, "The government's affairs have filled a small void for us. Let's not talk about them anymore and talk about something happy."

The four partners couldn't help but laugh, and they all agreed with what Chu Feng said.

"I have to say, our government is quite capable of causing trouble for others!"

"That's right, it's a good thing we didn't beg them."

"Whatever they do, just ignore them!"

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Feng waited for everyone to finish speaking, then he smiled and the voice rang out again: "During this month's battle, we also hurt the little devils."

"Not only does the Mongolian army need reinforcements, but the North China Front Army also needs them. They need some time to recover and accumulate some strength."

"In the next period of time, I suspect the Japanese will behave themselves. This period will not be short, at least three to six months."

"We have used our victory and our own strength to buy ourselves a period of quiet and peaceful development. We must seize this opportunity."

Everyone continued to nod in agreement with Chu Feng's words, and the smiles on their faces became brighter.

As a winner, why can't we celebrate happily?

Chu Feng continued, "The shortage of the main combat units at the regimental level under the command of our Independent 1st Division, as well as the total number of main combat units, has seriously restricted our development. The troops should be expanded."

At this point, Chu Feng revealed a touch of emotion and happiness, and said with a smile: "Through these two battles, each regiment commander has shown great growth in this battle, and also demonstrated their ability to be very competent as a brigade commander."

"This shows that our special training and exercises are effective and have met our expectations."

Chu Feng handed the things he had prepared to his four partners and said, "This is the new organization of our Independent 1st Division that I have drawn up. You all should take a look at it, and then we can express our opinions and discuss it together to finalize the new organization of our Independent 1st Division."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, the four partners looked at each other and saw the expectation in each other's eyes. They looked at the documents in Chu Feng's hand, and their eyes became eager and excited.

What made them happy was not the promotion and wealth they could get after the expansion of the army, but the fact that they were already in a high position.

The reason why everyone is excited and thrilled is that after the expansion of the troops, the strength of the Independent 1st Division will usher in a surge. The increased strength means that the ability to resist risks has increased, and more Japanese devils can be eliminated.

"Hurry, hurry, let me see!"

"After our last training session, our troops have already reached their capacity for expansion. After two baptisms of battle, we can be considered to have grown."

"We do need to expand. Our territory has tripled. Although most of it is still in the hands of the Japanese and puppet regimes, we will eventually take it back."

"It takes troops to reclaim the county, and it also takes troops to defend the territory."

The partners chatted happily as they took the expansion plan from Chu Feng.

Chu Feng also copied these, one for each person, and while everyone was watching, he just smiled and waited.

"What the hell?!!!"

When the four partners opened Chu Feng's expansion plan with excitement and anticipation, they only read the general introduction at the top and did not read the detailed introduction at the back. The excitement and anticipation on the faces of the four partners were replaced by shock.

Deputy Division Commander Ge Dayong even exclaimed in surprise.

"Teacher?"

"Is it really that big? The 1st Independent Division alone has 12 brigades, two regiments, and one battalion, totaling 130,000 people?"

"The local garrison troops have been reorganized into the Local Security Command, comprising 11 garrison regiments, 9 internal security regiments, 5 air defense regiments, 2 artillery regiments, and 2 cavalry regiments, totaling 63,000 personnel."

"Establishing a new recruit base? Maintaining a permanent population of 2 people year-round."

"Mom!"

"The main force plus the local security forces, the total strength has reached a staggering 200,000 people?!!!"

“Two hundred thousand people!!!”

“That’s 20 people!!!”

In everyone's opinion, after the expansion of the Independent 1st Division, the maximum number of people would be 150,000, but unexpectedly, Chu Feng had 50,000 more people than everyone expected.

Even if we remove the 20,000 people at the recruit base, there are still 30,000 more people.

Now, the total number of the Independent 1st Division and local troops is about 120,000. In other words, there is still a gap of 70,000 people in order to reach the organization finalized by Chu Feng.

Oh no!

Excluding the recruit base, there is still a gap of 50,000 people.

"hehe!"

Looking at the shocked and disbelieving expressions of his partners, Chu Feng remained calm. He smiled and said, "Why? A little bit unbelievable?"

"I still say the same thing, don't be petty!"

"As our territory increases, isn't it normal for our troops to expand?"

"Furthermore, we must now fully expand our main force and strive to complete the reorganization of the troops within a month, and then all of them will enter training and run-in."

"As for the local security forces, there's no rush. Just completing their reorganization, expansion, and initial training within six months will be sufficient."

"For the next one to two years, our Jinsui Chaji Special City will still be primarily defensive, supplemented by offensive activity. More combat will be focused on retaking the fallen counties under our jurisdiction and dealing with the Japanese's large-scale mopping-up attacks."

"In order to protect our base from being destroyed, the main force will take the initiative to fight outside the base when war comes. Normally, they are stationed at various transportation routes, mountain passes and checkpoints."

"The local security forces' work is internal. They are stationed in densely populated areas such as county towns, townships, and factories. In peacetime, they carry out public security, joint security, and counter-espionage work. In wartime, they fill the defenses of mountain passes and checkpoints left behind by the main force in battle, and protect our base areas."

"The main force will be expanded this time. The next six months will be focused on training and integration. The number of troops will not increase. At most, there will be minor repairs and improvements."

"Local security forces continue to recruit new soldiers and are also responsible for their training."

"From now on, all recruits joining the combat units will be trained for three months at the recruit base and six months in the local security forces. This will ensure that the combat effectiveness of the main force is always maintained at its peak."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at his four partners who were deep in thought, and added with a smile: "Our Jinsui Chaji Special City is such a large area, isn't it normal to have 200,000 troops on standby?"
