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

When they heard Chu Feng's proposal, their partners' eyes lit up and they all nodded in agreement.

"That's a great name. The air base has a distinguished history. We've been winning victories over the past few months, and the air force commanders and fighters at the air base have made an indelible contribution."

"We really need to give them an official number. The 1st Air Force Brigade is very good!" Ge Dayong was the first to express his support.

"That's right!"

"It's time to give the flight base an official designation!"

The other partners also spoke up and expressed their approval of this proposal.

"Now that we have official designations, we should also make the job divisions clearer."

Seeing that his partners all agreed, Chu Feng's voice continued, saying, "1st Air Force Brigade, Brigade Commander Gao Yuan, Deputy Brigade Commander Li Tang."

“空1旅下辖战斗机1团、战斗机2团、轰炸机1团和运输机1大队。还有地勤1团、2团、3团。”

"The Flight Academy has been separated and is no longer affiliated with the 1st Air Brigade. Instead, it will be directly under the command of the 1st Independent Division Headquarters and will be organized as a regimental-level unit."

“战斗机1团，以P-47战斗机为核心，搭配一批伊-16战斗机。下辖一个装备20架P-47战斗机大队，2个装备18架伊-16战斗机大队。”

“战斗机2团，以拉七战斗机为核心，搭配一批伊-16战斗机。下辖一个装备18架拉七战斗机大队，一个装备15架拉七战斗机，3架伊-16战斗机混编大队和一个装备18架伊-16战斗机大队。”

“轰炸机1团，以B-17轰炸机和SB轰炸机为核心，下辖一个装备20架B-17轰炸机大队，2个装备15架SB轰炸机大队。”

"The remaining 15 I-16 fighters, 10 SB bombers, and PO-2 trainer aircraft were all assigned to the flight academy as teaching aircraft."

Chu Feng paused slightly and said, "As for fighter jets, apart from the I-16 fighters purchased in two batches from the Russian Bear Country, we have not purchased any from abroad. We have been waiting for the La-7 fighter jets to roll off the production line at our own aircraft assembly plant."

"As for bombers, the first batch of 30 B-17 bombers we purchased from the United States will be delivered soon, and the remaining 70 B-17 bombers will also arrive in batches within six months."

"Explain that we are establishing the 2nd and 3rd bomber regiments. Once the B-18 bomber production line and technology are ready and we can produce it ourselves, the bomber fleet will be centered around the B-17 and B-18 bombers."

"After our own bombers entered service, the SB bombers purchased by the Russians were sold one after another, or transferred to flight academies, gradually fading from active service."

Chu Feng and the Bear Country engaged in large-scale trade. In order to provide Chu Feng with weapons and equipment, especially aircraft, as quickly as possible, the Bear Country directly flew its own troop aircraft over.

Hearing Chu Feng's arrangement, the four partners nodded slightly. In this way, the Air Force finally looked like a regular army.

At this point, the organization of the Independent 1st Division, as well as its weapons and equipment, have been discussed. Next, the local forces were discussed.

Compared with the main force, the local forces are simple, deployed as needed, step by step, and have simpler weapons and equipment.

Light weapons are mainly rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and artillery are mainly 82mm mortars and the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns, which belong to the infantry regiment.

The artillery regiment's firepower is mainly composed of 75mm mountain guns, 105mm howitzers and 120mm mortars.

It is equipped with a small number of rocket launchers, and after the standard weapons are mass-produced in the future, it will gradually be aligned with the main force.

Compared with the main force, the local security force will continue to change for a long time to come. Now that the recruit enlistment process has been determined, there will be a recruit base, security force and main force.

The personnel turnover of local security forces will definitely be very high. Of course, not all local security forces are like this. The internal security forces have low turnover and do not recruit new recruits. The internal security forces are composed of veterans and new recruits recruited from the system. Due to the special nature of this force, loyalty is naturally higher.

Chu Feng and his team finalized the specific organization of the troops, weapons and equipment, and military cadre composition.

These decisions were quickly documented and distributed to various units. For a time, the entire Independent 1st Division was busy.

A large number of trained new recruits were added to the main force. At the same time, personnel were drawn from various garrison forces to supplement the main force.

At the same time, a large number of untrained, newly recruited soldiers were incorporated into the recruit bases and garrison forces.

The problem of recruits was easily solved, on the one hand by direct recruitment, and on the other hand by recruitment through the Eighth Route Army, the Northern Route Army, Sanqin Province, and southwestern Sichuan Province.

In just one week, not only were the missing 70,000 to 80,000 new soldiers recruited, but these 70,000 to 80,000 people had also arrived one after another.

An additional 50,000 men were recruited, all from other provinces, and it would take about a month to reach the 1st Independent Division.

Chu Feng’s reputation is very useful now. What’s more, he didn’t get it for free. Although he didn’t pay any real money, he took out a lot of weapons and equipment.

Therefore, these warlords were willing to cooperate and work with Chu Feng. Even though some of them were direct descendants of the national government, they all chose to cooperate with Chu Feng, a new "warlord" who was in the limelight and powerful in the country.

Of course, in addition to the flow of personnel, the flow of weapons and equipment was also very large. The training of the entire Independent 1st Division could not be carried out normally and was being completed at the fastest speed.

However, due to its large size and high mobility of weapons and equipment, it took a full week to complete the mobilization and redistribution of personnel and weapons and equipment.

Just when the troops were getting on track and starting to train.

During this battle, the friendly forces that cooperated with Chu Feng also received rewards from Chu Feng.

Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army has cooperated with us many times. They never hold back their strength in battle. Since they have agreed to it, they will take it seriously.

In addition to the transactions between them, Chu Feng finally provided them with 10,000 rifles, 500 grenade launchers, 500 light and heavy machine guns and 100 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 million rounds of bullets, 100,000 rounds each of grenades and infantry artillery shells.

The Northern Army did not have as many troops as the Eighth Route Army, because they had received a batch of support before the war, and after the war they sent 150 million rounds of ammunition and 30 Type 41 75mm mountain cannons of the Japanese devils.

The Northern Army helped recruit 3000 new soldiers, so Chu Feng made the decision to give them 2000 Type 38 rifles, 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 30 Type 92 light machine guns.

When these two batches of supplies were delivered to the friendly forces, both the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army were grinning from ear to ear. It would not be wrong to say that they were laughing so hard that they became numb!

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army said: "It has to be Chu Feng again, it has to be a fellow villager."

"Chu Feng is a good little brother!"

"Many people want to add icing on the cake, but do they understand the value of helping someone in need? Hahaha!"

"Someone, come and record it!" The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army waved his hand excitedly.

"Thank you, Brother Chu Feng, for your support. From now on, the 1st Independent Division and the Northern Route Army will be in close contact. If you need anything, just send me a telegram. I will be there at your beck and call, and will be there to help you anytime, anywhere."
