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

Chu Feng felt everyone's shock. He smiled and continued, "Everyone is also concerned about the Cavalry Brigade. Don't worry, the Cavalry Brigade will not be abolished."

"Not only will it not be abolished, but it will be upgraded in one step, to a cavalry army. Its designation will be the 1st Independent Cavalry Army, but it will not be subordinate to the 1st Independent Group Army. Instead, it will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Saibei Border Region Military Committee."

"Like the 1st Northwest Railway Protection Army and the 20th Independent Army, they are three army-level units directly under the Military Commission."

"The 1st Independent Cavalry Army has three cavalry divisions under its command, each of which has three brigades. Each cavalry division, including the division headquarters, has a total of 3 people. The entire army, including the cavalry army headquarters, has a total of 3 people."

"As for the artillery units, there will be no army-level units, but independent armies. In addition to the five artillery divisions under the newly announced Independent 1st Army, there are five independent artillery divisions."

“也就是独立第1、第2、第3、第4、第5炮兵师。”

"These five independent artillery divisions were established with the 3rd and 4th Artillery Regiments as their core."

"These five independent artillery divisions each have two brigades and six regiments under their command. The divisions are equipped with two caliber artillery pieces, 105mm howitzers and 122mm howitzers. The total number of divisions is 20,000."

"It belongs to the organization of a small artillery regiment. Its purpose is to serve flexible combat. The total number of people is people!"

"Five independent artillery divisions will be stationed in the northwest region. They will provide fire support to the 20th Independent Army, the 1st Northwest Railway Protection Army, the 1st Independent Cavalry Army, the 28th Independent Division, and the 29th Independent Division."

When Chu Feng finished speaking, everyone present took a deep breath again.

"Oh my god!"

"So irritable?"

"The cavalry corps is small, barely comparable to an infantry division. However, cavalry units of this size are rare in the country!"

"Only a very few units can possess it. As for its combat effectiveness, it depends on one's own opinion."

"These five independent artillery divisions are not weak either!"

"Even though each division only has a few people, they can still walk sideways in the country!"

"Is the Northwest Territory so valued by the Commander-in-Chief?"

"..."

Chu Feng naturally couldn't hear everyone's whispered discussions, but he noticed everyone's surprise.

Before everyone could discuss for too long, his voice rang out again: "The 20th Independent Army has three infantry divisions under its command. Each division has three brigades and one artillery regiment under its command. This is considered the division headquarters. The entire division has a total of 100,000 people."

"The 20th Independent Army, including the army headquarters, has a total of 100 people."

"The 1st Northwest Railway Protection Army has regiments directly under the army level, and no division or brigade levels. The purpose is to streamline the organization and increase command flexibility."

"The army consists of 12 infantry regiments, each with 2000 men, including the army headquarters, for a total of 2,000 men."

"The 28th and 29th Independent Divisions still do not have brigades, but directly command regiments, with a total of six regiments under their jurisdiction."

"Each regiment has 2500 men, including the division headquarters, and the total number of men for the entire division, two divisions in total."

"The 1st Army Special Operations Brigade is a new type of unit that has just emerged abroad, also known as a special forces unit."

"The brigade does not have a regiment. It directly controls five special operations battalions and one logistics support battalion. Each special operations battalion has 600 people, and the logistics support battalion has 1000 people. Including the brigade headquarters, the total brigade strength is 4300 people."

Chu Feng paused slightly, giving everyone time to think and discuss. After about half a minute, his voice rang out again: "After the above-mentioned organization and formulation of the various units, the main force of the Saibei Border Region Army has one group army, three armies, seven divisions, and one brigade."

"Including the General Command, the main force of the Saibei Border Region Army has 64 people."

"Among them, the main force of 50 people was the main force fighting against the Japanese army in the northern border area."

"15 troops are stationed in the northwest to deter the troops of these northwestern warlords."

After hearing the final number of the main army force, everyone showed an expression of "as expected".

"Six hundred thousand people!"

"Oh my god! Six hundred thousand people!"

"Our current number, including the main force, local forces, and newly recruited soldiers, is only this many."

"To support the main force of 60, how much weapons and equipment are needed? How many new soldiers do we need to recruit?"

"This is just the main army force. Don't forget, we also have local garrison troops."

"Don't forget, we also have the Air Force, Navy, and logistics support forces. Adding them together, the total number of people is probably heading towards one million."

"..."

Before the meeting started, they knew that their commander-in-chief would definitely come up with something big, but they didn't expect it to be so big!

Everyone present experienced initial surprise, shock, and numbness, and finally excitement, thrill, and happiness.

They knew that in the past few days, the commander-in-chief had started the construction of large-scale industry, infrastructure, and agriculture and animal husbandry in the northern border area at the government meeting.

And invested a huge amount of 230 billion Saibei currency.

They also thought that since their commander-in-chief had invested such a large amount of money in economic development, he would be more cautious in military construction.

But unexpectedly, not only was it unstable, it was also extremely arrogant and generous.

Whether they are from the military, military academies, or military-industrial enterprises, everyone knows that such a large-scale expansion of the troops brings opportunities.

At this moment, a sentence subconsciously emerged in everyone's mind.

"All right!"

"I'm too narrow-minded, the Commander-in-Chief is awesome!!!"

After giving everyone a few more minutes to discuss, Chu Feng continued, "Next, let's talk about the logistics support troops."

"This time, the logistics support force was separated into a new branch of the military. This was discovered through repeated battles, running-in, research, and summarizing experience."

"An independent and combat-capable logistics support force can better relieve the pressure on combat troops and improve their combat effectiveness."

"So, after the logistics support force became a new branch of the military, a new logistics support force was established based on the original logistics support force and the engineering brigade."

"The newly established logistics support force is composed of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Logistics Support Armies."

"Among them, the 1st and 2nd Logistics Support Armies were established based on the original logistics support forces."

"Each army has five divisions under its command, and each division has five brigades under its command. Including the division headquarters, the total number of personnel in the entire division and each logistics support army is 71,000."

"The 3rd Logistics Support Army was established with an engineering brigade and an engineering construction team as its core. The army has three divisions under its command, and each division has three brigades under its command. Including the division headquarters, the total number of people in the entire army is 2,000."

"The entire logistics support force has a total of 18 people."

"The 1st and 2nd, these two logistics support armies, are responsible for transporting supplies by sea, land, and air, cleaning up the battlefield, transporting wounded soldiers, and delivering troops."

"The 3rd Logistics Support Army is responsible for building roads and bridges by land, sea, and air during both wartime and non-wartime. It provides escort for offensive troops, clears mountains and builds bridges over rivers, and also carries out various temporary infrastructure projects."
