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

Chapter 143 Heavy Armored Tank Brigade and Heavy Artillery Brigade!

"Cough cough!"

After chatting and laughing, Chu Feng coughed lightly, and his voice continued, saying: "This is the specific weapons and equipment and organization plan for the five infantry regiments to be upgraded to light armored infantry brigades."

"At the same time, the armored infantry brigade we formed previously but never saw combat will also be upgraded. I plan to expand its current strength to 15,000, an increase of 6000."

"The expanded armored infantry brigade, whose full name is the Heavy Armored Tank Brigade, is composed of one assault artillery regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one support battalion, and one air defense battalion."

"The assault artillery regiment remains unchanged, with a total of 3200 men."

“机械化步兵团下辖2个400人的坦克营,每个营装备35辆坦克。3个600人的装甲步兵营,装备卡车、装甲车60辆,1个500人火箭炮营,装备24门01式107毫米火箭炮。1个500人的辎重保障营。”

"Including the regimental headquarters and the troops directly under the regiment, the entire regiment has a total of 3800 people."

At this point, Chu Feng paused and explained to his partners, "We haven't yet mass-produced our 107mm rocket launchers. We have enough sustained firepower, but we lack short-term, large-scale, high-density coverage firepower."

"Let's incorporate our limited two rocket artillery battalions into the two mechanized infantry regiments."

After hearing Chu Feng's explanation, his partners agreed. Indeed, the number of two battalions was a bit awkward.

Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "As for the artillery regiment, this time they will directly withdraw the 75mm light howitzers they were originally equipped with. The artillery regiment will be composed of one 122mm howitzer battalion and two 152mm heavy howitzer battalions, with a total of 2200 people."

"The support battalion has been expanded to 1000 personnel. It is not only responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies for the entire brigade, but also for providing support, maintenance, and other related tasks at any time."

"As for the air defense battalion, it is equipped with two anti-aircraft tank companies and one anti-aircraft artillery company, with a total of 550 people."

"Including the brigade headquarters' directly affiliated communications support companies, guard companies, and training teams, the entire brigade."

When Chu Feng announced the new arrangements for the armored infantry brigade, his partners' eyes widened.

"Oh my god!"

"Division Commander, it seems that you attach great importance to the armored infantry brigade!"

"This unit has been training for so long, but it's never been in actual combat, and this has always affected your continued investment in it!"

"With the investment of just one unit, we can form three light armored infantry brigades."

"Didn't you hear what the division commander said? This is a medium armored tank brigade, not an armored infantry brigade."

The four partners did not expect that Chu Feng attached so much importance to this medium armored tank brigade. They also thought that this was a training unit.

After the expansion of the five main regiments, this brigade would be split up to supplement the tank and armored personnel of the five regiments. Unexpectedly, it was expanded.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng listened to his partners' exclamations and said with a smile, "Now armored tank units have become the mainstream of the world's first-class military. We must also keep up with the world's pace."

"If we can't achieve full mechanization, we should at least have a model experimental unit."

Having said this, Chu Feng stood up and walked to the battle map. He pointed to places like Rehe Province and the northern part of Chahar Province and said, "Here, it's all flat grasslands, perfect for large-scale mechanized troop operations."

"After we take over the Jinsui Chaji Special City, relying solely on infantry will be a bit slow in such a large area."

Chu Feng pointed to the Qiantao and Houtao areas of Suiyuan Province and said, "This is also a plain area."

"Looking towards the Urad Grassland, there is the Yinshan Mountains, but beyond the Yinshan Mountains lies the vast Urad Grassland."

"When the time is right, we will go south and find the vast North China Plain, which is very suitable for mechanized warfare."

"So we must plan ahead and not wait until the need arises to cram."

"At the same time, the large-scale expansion of our armored tank forces can also be considered as supporting our factory construction and developing our weapons and equipment production and design research capabilities."

Having said that, Chu Feng looked towards the Bear Country in the north.

Although we have a good partnership with the Bear Country at this time, this relationship is actually very fragile, and it is hard to say when and why it will break down.

He had to consider the Bear Country's ability to build up its military, its industrial production potential, its vast territory and rich mineral resources!

However, Chu Feng did not say these things. The timing was not right. Many times, taking one step ahead is called leading, taking two steps ahead is called surpassing, and taking three or four steps ahead is easy to cause trouble.

It’s enough for him to know some things in his heart, there’s no need to tell everyone at this time.

After hearing Chu Feng's words, the four partners looked at the battle map and agreed with Chu Feng's idea.

"It's time for a large-scale reorganization of our artillery units." Looking at his companions who nodded silently, Chu Feng continued, "Whether we currently produce artillery ourselves or purchase artillery from various countries, the models are very complex, but the number of large-caliber artillery is increasing."

"Take advantage of this opportunity of troop expansion to make an adjustment to the artillery unit."

"The 60mm, 82mm and 120mm mortars were all transferred to the regimental level and became regimental artillery."

"75mm field guns or howitzers, 105mm and 122mm howitzers, as well as 107mm and 122mm rocket launchers, are all brigade artillery."

"Our divisional artillery consists of 152mm heavy howitzers, 155mm cannons, or the Hans country's 150mm K18 howitzers."

"We can't produce them ourselves right now, but there's no rush. When I have the chance, I'll talk to Hans, the Bear Country, or the United States about importing the technology and equipment for these large-caliber artillery."

At this point, Chu Feng said directly: "This time our artillery brigade, no, it should be the Independent 1st Division Heavy Artillery Brigade, has a total of 5 regiments under its jurisdiction, namely Artillery Regiment 1, Artillery Regiment 2, Artillery Regiment 3, Artillery Regiment 4, and Artillery Regiment 5. Each regiment has 2300 people, including the brigade headquarters and directly affiliated units, a total of people."

“其中,炮4团和炮5团,先装备105毫米榴弹炮、155毫米榴弹炮,等汉斯国的100门150毫米K18加榴炮到达之后再给他们换装。”

"Artillery Regiments 1 and 2 are equipped with 152mm heavy howitzers from the Russian Empire, 50 each."

"The 3rd Artillery Regiment is equipped with 122mm rocket launchers and is the only fully-organized rocket launcher unit in our heavy artillery brigade."

When Chu Feng talked about the weapons configuration of the heavy artillery brigade, the four partners opened their mouths wide again.

"Good guy!"

"Five artillery regiments, with a minimum caliber of 105mm, and it's only temporary!"

"Once the 100 150mm howitzers from Hans arrive, a heavy artillery brigade will have 250 to 260 large-caliber artillery pieces."

"Oh my god, if there's a volley of fire, the scene will be unbelievable."

All the partners couldn't remain calm. Facing the incredible firepower, they couldn't believe it. This guy was a brigade?
