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

No one present expressed any objection to Chu Feng's vigorous development of the logistics support forces.

Everyone raised their hands to show their agreement!

They didn't feel at all that the large-scale development of logistics support forces would divert their resources.

The reason is simple, because the commanders present have all enjoyed the benefits brought by the logistics support troops.

Having a combat-capable logistics support force is simply too great for them, okay!

This is not imaginary, but something they actually experienced personally.

Take the recent battle to recapture the Peiping-Tianjin area, Chahar Province, and Suiyuan Province. They did not need to worry about whether there were enough supplies, cleaning the battlefield, how to rush to the battlefield, transporting troops, and dealing with the wounded.

Everything is handled by the logistics support troops, and the combat troops have only one task, which is to consider how to fight this battle well.

This kind of situation where they didn't have to worry about these things and could only focus on fighting the Japanese and thinking about combat, made them not care about their feelings when they sat together and chatted after the war.

"No wonder the commander-in-chief attaches so much importance to logistics. This saves a lot of trouble."

"That's right, but you don't know that when we went to support the Beiping-Tianjin area, our soldiers just slept to replenish their energy along the way."

"Food and ammunition for the journey are all available on the bus. Once you get off the bus, they are all fully stocked."

"Yes, yes, and there's also the matter of prisoners. Before, after each battle, it took a lot of effort to collect these prisoners. Now we don't have to worry about that."

“It feels so good to travel light!”

"..."

So everyone is happy that the logistics support force has become a new branch of the military. This change is the first of its kind in the world. Other countries attach importance to logistics, but do not establish them as independent armies.

It can be said that the establishment of an independent logistics force into a new branch of the military was a first in their northern border region.

As a time traveler, Chu Feng knew that during World War II, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Russian Bear Country was the first country in the world to make its logistics support forces an independent new branch of the military in August 1942.

Following closely behind is the United States. Other countries also know the importance of logistics support troops, but they realize it but do not do so.

I won’t go into the various reasons, after all, the national conditions and situations encountered by each country are different.

But Chu Feng knew that with just this one incident, he and the Saibei Border Region would leave a significant mark in the world’s military history.

From now on, whenever we talk about the first country in the world to establish logistics support forces as an independent branch of the military, the Saibei Border Region, oh no, China cannot be avoided.

"18 logistics support troops is a very conservative number!"

After Chu Feng and the others chatted for a while, his voice rang out again.

"So, in my opinion, the number of logistics support troops is insufficient and needs to be further expanded."

"However, further expansion will take place in half a year."

"If we want to fully serve all the troops in our northern border area, the number of logistics support troops must reach at least 25 to barely meet the requirements."

"In my plan, each logistics support soldier will provide logistics support to a maximum of three combat soldiers."

"Of course, this refers to the Army. For the Navy, the ratio is 1:5, and for the Air Force, 1:6, or so."

"Our current ratio is 1:5. When we expand the logistics support force for the second time in the second half of 39, we will reach the ideal state."

Everyone started discussing Chu Feng's additional remarks again.

But no one objected to Chu Feng's plan because they were all vested interests!

Without giving everyone much time to discuss, Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "This time, the biggest change is that, in addition to separating logistics support into a new branch of the military."

"Secondly, the Air Force will be separated from the Army and become a separate new branch of the military. Furthermore, the resources invested in the Air Force will be second only to those of the Army."

"The Air Force has established the Air Force Command, which is composed of three corps: the 1st Aviation Corps, the 1st Air Defense Corps, and the 1st Airborne Corps."

"The 1st Air Force Army, composed of 7 air force divisions."

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Aviation Divisions are all fighter divisions."

"Each division has three fighter regiments and one ground support regiment. Including the division headquarters, the entire division has 3500 people and is equipped with 240 fighter jets, with each regiment having 80 fighter jets."

"The 4th and 5th Air Divisions are all bomber divisions."

"Each division has three bomber regiments and one ground support regiment. Including the division headquarters, the entire division has 4000 people and is equipped with 150-120 bombers, with 50-40 bombers per regiment."

"The 6th Aviation Division is a transport aircraft division. It has five transport aircraft regiments and two ground support regiments."

"Including the division headquarters, the entire division has 8000 men and 300 pieces of equipment, with 60 transport planes per regiment."

"The 7th Air Division is a transport division, but unlike the 6th Air Division, it is more focused on civil aviation."

"In non-wartime, it is responsible for civil aviation, and cooperates with governments at all levels in weather observation, agricultural and animal husbandry operations, water conservancy operations, etc."

"During wartime, while ensuring civil aviation, it also favors the military, while also providing training and development for new pilots."

"The 7th Air Division, including the division headquarters, has a total of 12 flying squadrons and 6 ground support squadrons, with no regimental level organization.

"The specific number of equipped aircraft is not included in the statistics and is equipped based on actual needs."

At this point, Chu Feng paused slightly and said, "Our Air Force has developed very rapidly this time. We have been directly upgraded from the 1st Air Brigade."

"Once the expansion is completed and the aircraft arrive, the number of aircraft owned by our Air Force Command will reach 1300."

"Just based on the number of aircraft we possess, we will become the force with the most aircraft in all of China, no, in all of Asia."

"It can be said that we have achieved the nominal achievement of being the best air force in Asia."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, everyone was stunned at first, and then after they realized what was going on, they became excited.
