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

"Ok!"

After Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, Chu Feng smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the cavalry is destined to be eliminated."

"But now, we still need the cavalry to continue to shine."

"The reason why I didn't proceed step by step is because the cavalry army is the ultimate form of cavalry."

"After this expansion, the cavalry force will at most be reinforced, but there will be no large-scale expansion of the cavalry force."

"Secondly, both Chahar and Suiyuan provinces need a large-scale cavalry unit, whether it is to patrol the border or to guard against the three horses in the northwest."

"When the cavalry needs to be retired from history, they can be relegated to the second line and used as garrison troops."

Hearing what Chu Feng and Wang Tiezhu said, Ge Dayong nodded slightly and said, "What about the organization of the expanded cavalry army? How many troops are there?"

Chu Feng paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "The expanded cavalry army will temporarily consist of one army and three divisions. Each division will have three brigades under its command, and each brigade will have three cavalry regiments and one artillery regiment under its command."

"Each cavalry regiment has 2600 men, each artillery regiment has 3000 men, and each cavalry brigade has 11,000 men."

"Including the troops directly under the Cavalry Corps, the total strength is 100,000."

At this point, Chu Feng paused slightly and said, "Of course, this is not the final plan. I can only give you a rough idea."

"We need to make a final decision based on subsequent developments. It's very likely that by the time the specific organization is finalized, the number of personnel may be even higher, and we may even need to add a cavalry division."

Chu Feng's words made his three partners stunned.

"Now I understand why Tiezhu was so anxious about asking about the troop organization!" Li Mingqiang's scalp tingled a little. "Good boy, let's not talk about anything else, just the expansion of this cavalry corps is a great contribution."

"We only have one cavalry brigade right now, and whether it's horses, personnel, or weapons and equipment, it's a big problem."

“尤其是01式107毫米火箭炮，单单一个骑兵军就需要9个团，一个团52门，那就是足足468门107毫米火箭炮。”

"With so many weapons and equipment, so many personnel, and so many horses, I'm afraid it will take us a year to complete the expansion."

Hearing Li Mingqiang's words, the three of them laughed.

Chu Feng smiled and said comfortingly, "Old Li, don't worry. We will work hard to develop in the next six months and a year."

"As for the issue of horses, don't worry. We have captured quite a few, and the pseudo-Mongol army has quite a few cavalry units."

"When the time comes, we can also purchase military horses from other places. Whether it's military horses or heavy draft horses, the Mao Bear Country's are all world-class."

"You also said that the Bear Country has been looking for you recently in order to expand trade cooperation with us."

"So the large-scale horse trade should also be included. We also have many good horse breeds in our country, and we can breed them ourselves."

"Horses have been the mainstay of our country's transportation and agricultural production for a long time. Cars and trains won't be able to be used across the country anytime soon, and can only be used in cities, factories, and the military."

"In rural areas, cattle, horses, donkeys and mules are still the main working animals."

After discussing the cavalry, Ge Dayong looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Commander, will the 1st Air Brigade be directly upgraded to a corps-level unit?"

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "The 1st Air Brigade now has hundreds of fighters, bombers, transport planes, early warning aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft, and it's about to break the thousand mark."

"One division-level organization is not enough!"

"For the better development of the Air Force, it would be better to separate the Air Force into an independent branch of the military and give it the status it deserves."

"For now, we'll focus on the army-level organization. After six months or a year, we'll upgrade the Air Force and establish the Saibei Border Region Air Force Corps."

"With half a year or a year of development, the total number of our Air Force aircraft will definitely exceed 1,000 and move towards 2,000."

After hearing Chu Feng's explanation, Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly.

This explanation makes sense. The role of the Air Force on the battlefield is becoming increasingly important, and enhancing the status of the Air Force has become a problem that must be solved.

As for the baggage train, no one said anything.

Because everyone saw the role played by the logistics troops in this operation, it can be said that the logistics troops were the main reason why this operation was so successful.

"correct!"

Wang Tiezhu suddenly thought of something and said, "Division Commander, what about the Engineer Brigade? Will it also be expanded into an Engineer Division?"

As soon as Wang Tiezhu asked this question, Chu Feng was stunned.

The presence of the engineering brigade is relatively weak. The engineering brigade belongs to the auxiliary arms, and the number of auxiliary arms also has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the main force.

"Expand!"

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If Tiezhu hadn't asked, I would have ignored the Engineer Brigade."

"However, I think it would be difficult to use the engineer brigade by expanding it into an engineer division because there are too few personnel."

"My suggestion is to expand the engineering brigade to the army level."

"But this is just a suggestion. Go back and discuss it carefully. After all, we have so many main forces, and we need auxiliary troops like engineers and logistics troops to ensure their combat effectiveness."

"If we have too few personnel, we won't be able to achieve the tactical results we want."

Upon hearing Chu Feng's decision, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong nodded slightly and responded in unison: "Okay, Commander!"

After the sudden problem of the engineer was solved, Chu Feng suddenly thought of the warships lying in his inventory and said, "Oh, I forgot one thing!"

"We now have access to the sea, and we have the prerequisites for establishing a navy. All we need is to purchase a batch of warships."

"However, we cannot wait until personnel and warships are in place before pushing forward the construction of the navy."

"So my idea is that we can do the preliminary preparations now, such as setting up a naval fleet command."

"At the same time, go to all parts of the country to recruit naval soldiers and officers. As for the warships, I will take care of them."

Chu Feng's sudden words stunned his three partners.

"navy?"

"We're also going to establish a navy?"

"Are we going to have our own navy too?"

"Good boy! Once the navy is established, we will have the entire navy, army, and air force!"
