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

"Commander, with just a brigade like ours, if we were placed in the hands of the Nationalist government, I'm afraid we would just be a heavy artillery division, not a heavy artillery army!"

"Don't even mention the National Government, it's almost the same with the Japanese!"

"The largest Japanese heavy artillery unit is only a brigade. One of our brigades is equivalent to five and a half of their heavy artillery brigades."

"The Japanese heavy artillery brigade also has its merits. I heard they have heavy artillery with a caliber of over 200mm."

Looking at his partners who were all shocked, enthusiastic, and excited, Chu Feng chuckled and said lightly, "There's nothing I can do. I'm sick, and it's not a mild illness!"

"what?!!!"

Chu Feng's sudden words "I'm sick" made the four partners unable to sit still. After being stunned for a moment, they all looked at Chu Feng with serious and nervous expressions.

"Master, don't scare me."

"We must actively seek medical treatment if you are ill. Our 1st Independent Division cannot do without you."

"Commander, let's go find a doctor!"

"We have both Western and Chinese medicine in the 1st Independent Division. It's impossible that we can't treat it."

Looking at his nervous partners, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "There's nothing the doctor can do about my illness. To be more precise, there's no cure and no medicine."

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned again.

"Commander, what disease is so serious?" Ge Dayong couldn't help but ask.

Facing his partners' nervousness, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Fear of insufficient firepower!"

"The only way to completely cure this disease is to increase our firepower. Continuously increase our firepower. Once our firepower can crush our opponents and become the world's best, the disease can be temporarily controlled."

As soon as Chu Feng gave this explanation, his partners were stunned!

Fear of lack of firepower?

Is there such a disease?

When Chu Feng explained what the fear of insufficient firepower was, they understood and realized it!

"Master, this disease is good!"

“I love this disease so much.”

Li Mingqiang was the first to react. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I think so too. I'm sick. I have a fear of insufficient firepower!"

"I not only have a fear of insufficient firepower, but also a fear of an underdeveloped economy, a fear of not having enough money to spend, and a fear of the people not being well-off and feeling uncomfortable if I don't fight the Japanese."

As Li Mingqiang finished speaking, Uncle Zhao Wu also laughed and said, "I have it too, I have it too. I have a fear of bankruptcy at any time, a fear of not having enough food, and a fear of not being killed by the Japanese."

"It seems that I am also very ill. If I want to alleviate my illness, I have to have a lot of money. The food reserves are enough to feed millions of people for ten years. The Japanese are eliminated by us every day. Only then can my illness be alleviated."

Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong also smiled and talked about their illnesses.

For a moment, the discussion about the organization and weapons and equipment configuration of the Independent 1st Division turned into a meeting to exchange information on the disease.

Everyone no longer calls each other "division commander" or "chief of staff", but just calls each other "fellow patients".

After half an hour of friendly and enthusiastic communication about their illnesses, the five patients reached a consensus that in order to alleviate and completely cure their respective "illnesses", they needed to vigorously develop the base, vigorously develop the troops, and eliminate more Japanese devils and traitors.

Otherwise, the condition will get worse and the situation will be bad!

"Our baggage brigade performed well in this battle!"

Returning to the main topic, Chu Feng said, "Not only is the logistical support very timely, allowing the combat troops to focus on the battle, but the post-battle cleaning of the battlefield does not take up the combat troops' time and energy."

"The troops have expanded, and our supply troops must keep up in a timely manner."

"We'll establish the 2nd Supply Brigade. Its organization will be the same as the 1st Brigade, with three regiments under it. This way, we'll have six supply regiments."

"Six regiments are only temporary, but there's no need to rush. We have six specialized supply regiments, and we can draw new soldiers in time of war. That's more than enough."

Hearing Chu Feng mention the baggage brigade, Uncle Zhao Wu also smiled and said, "That's right. Our ancestors always said that before the troops move, the food and grass must go first. The baggage corps may not be very impressive, but it is an indispensable and important part of the army."

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu also said, "Having a professional supply corps will save our main force a lot of trouble. I agree with expanding the supply corps!"

No one objected to the establishment of the 2nd Logistics Brigade. Only those who have enjoyed the services of a professional logistics unit can personally experience the benefits and fears of having a nanny behind them.

"As for the cavalry, we are establishing a 3rd Cavalry Regiment. To facilitate unified command, it will be a cavalry brigade." Chu Feng continued: "The cavalry unit is in our independent 1st Division, not the first-tier combat unit."

"But it's necessary. After all, our base is mountainous, roads and railways are underdeveloped, and it's difficult to transport heavy equipment."

"We must have a mobile force. This cavalry brigade will have three 2500-man cavalry regiments under its command. We won't equip them with heavy machine guns, mountain and field artillery, etc."

"Automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, rocket launchers, 60mm mortars, and 82mm mortars are sufficient. When we really need them, we mainly provide rapid support."

"After the Type 01 107mm rocket launcher is mass-produced, each cavalry regiment will be equipped with a company of rocket launchers. This weapon is lightweight and can be disassembled and carried."

Everyone also expressed their agreement and support for the establishment of a cavalry brigade.

"The air base will maintain its brigade-level organization, but the fighter, bomber, and ground crew personnel will be increased. After the expansion, the air base will become the largest brigade-level unit in our entire division."

"It has reached a scale of 20,000 people, and after our own aircraft roll off the production line, the number of personnel will continue to increase."

"As for the last brigade-level unit, it is the Engineer Regiment being upgraded to the Engineer Brigade."

"Although all five main brigades are equipped with engineering units, we still need a professional and technically competent engineering unit. The engineering regiment is too small and has too few personnel to serve our main force of over 100,000 people."

"So after the expansion, the Engineer Brigade will be composed of three regiments, equipped primarily with various engineering machinery. Each regiment will have 2800 personnel, including the brigade headquarters and directly affiliated units."

Everyone has no objection to the expansion of the engineering brigade. This time, the engineering brigade is not very conspicuous, but it is the hero who ensures the smooth transportation of supplies, and it also performs remarkably well in battle.
