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

Chapter 377: Troop Organization! Wang Tiezhu: "Commander, the troops are about to exceed 50 peo

Chu Feng suddenly thought of something when he said this. He looked up at Li Mingqiang and said with a smile, "By the way, Lao Li, when the time comes, don't forget to send a copy to the government and notify them."

"After all, the Saibei Border Region is still under the leadership of the National Government. We still have to notify them and let them keep a record of it!"

Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, the three partners laughed instantly.

“Hahahaha!!!”*3!

They could already imagine that when their plan was announced to the public, the government would definitely be terrified and curse in the room.

"No problem, Commander!"

Li Mingqiang agreed with a smile. As he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, Commander, this time the National Government only gave us the organization of the 1st Independent Army. Should we expand the army accordingly?"

"Since we have established the Saibei Border Region, should we start issuing troop units ourselves?"

As soon as Li Mingqiang said this, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong also looked over.

This issue involves their army, and they are also very curious.

"Need not!"

Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "In order to maintain the Anti-Japanese National United Front, it doesn't matter to us whether we are organized into a road army or a group army."

"Anyway, we don't expect to survive on the little military pay the government gives us. We can support our own troops."

"The commander-in-chief of the 1st Independent Army will be the commander-in-chief!"

"I don't care about that!"

Chu Feng said this, but he was disgusted in his heart. However, the system only recognized the organization given by the government, so that he could get the system rewards.

When his power is big enough and he surpasses the government in terms of influence, strength, territory, etc., the system will recognize him, and then we will no longer have to care about these things.

Lu Jun is Lu Jun, and he can also get a reward.

The next time he is promoted to a group army, he will receive another reward. For Chu Feng, the reward is the core. As for the positions of group army commander, theater commander, etc., they are all empty to him.

Although everyone felt a little sorry about Chu Feng's decision, no one said anything.

Indeed, there is not much difference between being a commander-in-chief, a road army commander-in-chief, or a deputy commander-in-chief.

"Commander, the battle is over. Once everything stabilizes, it's time for our troops to expand!"

"What are your thoughts on the expansion of the army?"

At this point, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but smile and said, "Originally, we already had over 300,000 men, and there were also 100,000 rebel troops. After this expansion, with the main force plus the local troops, it's absolutely certain that we'll exceed 500,000 men."

After sighing, he looked at Chu Feng and asked, "So the recruitment, training, preparation, and promotion of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are all matters."

"With so many things coming together, we must prepare in advance."

As soon as Wang Tiezhu asked this question, Li Mingqiang and Ge Dayong also showed curious expressions, especially Ge Dayong, who was the second-in-command of the army.

of course!

They were also attracted by the 500,000 yuan mentioned by Wang Tiezhu.

Five hundred thousand troops!

There are only a few forces in the country that can control 500,000 troops.

In addition to the National Government, that is, the Northeast Army, Feng Guozhang, a warlord of the Zhili clique, was also able to reach this level.

Now, they have reached this level as well.

"Ok!"

After hearing Wang Tiezhu's question, Chu Feng paused for a moment and said, "If the main force is to be expanded, the brigade will be expanded into a division."

"The only thing about the artillery is that my idea is to expand the artillery regiments into artillery brigades with each artillery regiment as the core."

"Then, based on the defense requirements, we can deploy these heavy artillery brigades in various locations."

"For the time being, all corps-level units of the army, including the 1st Air Brigade, the Supply Corps, the Cavalry Brigade, and the Northern Border Defense Command, are corps-level units."

"In this battle, there is one point that I think can be promoted, and that is to establish a garrison regiment in each county."

"As for the number of personnel, we can streamline it. 1,800 people, with three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, should be enough."

"There are more than a hundred counties, banners, and counties under the jurisdiction of the Saibei Border Region. This means we need to establish more than a hundred garrison regiments."

"The situation of the Internal Guard Regiment will become very awkward. Then we will abolish the Internal Guard Regiment and incorporate all of them into the garrison regiment."

"But in order to ensure the protection of the base, we will once again establish a division-level force, called the Guard Division. This Guard Division will be directly under the command of the Independent 1st Route Army Headquarters."

"The number of people is controlled at around 6, and their duties are to be responsible for the security of large factories, confidential units, government agencies, etc."

"Because we have incorporated many air defense regiments into the local garrison forces, this is a temporary measure, so we are establishing the 1st and 2nd air defense divisions."

"Each division is composed of three brigades and nine regiments. Each regiment has five air defense battalions under its command. The total number of troops in each division is 45,000."

After hearing Chu Feng’s report on the staffing situation, no one had any objections to anything else.

"Commander, why was the cavalry brigade expanded into a cavalry corps?" Ge Dayong didn't understand. He looked at Chu Feng and asked, "The cavalry unit is a unit that will be eliminated. It seems that there is no need for us to maintain a large cavalry unit."

"One cavalry division is enough. There's no need to expand it into a cavalry corps!"

As soon as Ge Dayong said this, Wang Tiezhu shook his head slightly and said, "Old Ge, I think it is necessary for the division commander to expand the cavalry brigade into a cavalry corps."

"Indeed, the world's top military powers are not eliminating their cavalry units."

"We are also mechanizing our troops, but China is too large, and the terrain is complex and varied."

"Maintaining a consistent and large number of cavalry units will be of great benefit to our command of the battle."

"Mechanized troops can indeed travel hundreds of kilometers on fuel, as long as they refuel promptly, but the failure rate is also high."

"But cavalry units are different. They may not have the same sustained combat capability as mechanized units, but they lack the failure rate of mechanized units."

Wang Tiezhu paused and said, "Just like in this battle, the presence of the cavalry brigade bought us a lot of time."

"But at critical moments, cavalry is absolutely a very reliable link in long-distance raids. In addition, as long as we have control of the air."

"When the time comes, we'll equip the cavalry with a batch of 107mm rocket launchers to increase their firepower density."

"With the support of the rocket artillery regiment and the air force, we can easily open up an offensive channel for the cavalry."

In the battle that just ended, Wang Tiezhu's understanding of cavalry was further improved. He realized that this type of cavalry still has its advantages.
