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

Chu Feng had no idea about the turmoil in the Japanese country and had no intention of caring about it.

After finalizing the troop organization and work plan, his partners took up their posts one after another. Chu Feng was also not idle. On the one hand, he was responsible for forming an armored infantry brigade, and on the other hand, he was in charge of the work of the Military Industry Department and the Security Department.

The armored infantry brigade is relatively simple, with an assault artillery regiment as the core, and an infantry regiment, artillery battalion and other auxiliary arms. In just one week, the framework of the armored infantry brigade was set up.

During this period, he brought in the commander of the assault artillery regiment and instructors who had learned armored tank technology from the senior military instructor corps in the system, and together they wrote the armored infantry brigade training outline, as well as some technical, tactical and professional books.

In addition, a teaching company was established with the support of the officers of the assault artillery regiment, responsible for training grassroots commanders.

With the help of the system buff, although starting from scratch, the progress was very rapid. In addition, the infantry regiments that were mobilized were all the top students from each regiment and the best recruits. After a week, they began to enter self-training.

While the armored infantry brigade was training, Chu Feng did not rush to the arsenal, but went to the aviation base to inspect the aviation industrial park consisting of a small aircraft assembly plant, 5 aerial bomb production lines, a complete set of CJ-5 production lines, and a small aircraft maintenance plant.

At this time, the aviation industrial park has completed planning and factory construction.

3条飞机组装产线和5条航空炸弹生产线已经铺设完成，成立5个车间，分别是飞机组装1、2、3车间和航空炸弹生产1车间和2车间。

These five workshops are currently debugging the production lines and training workers.

Because a lot of workers were recruited from the system and in reality, Shi Lei's arsenal needed people, but not so many people. There are now more than 6000 technical workers, skilled workers and apprentices in the five workshops.

As for the six workshops of the JJ-6, they are under intensive construction. It will take at most another three months to complete the laying of the production line. Including equipment debugging, the project can be handed over within half a year.

"Commander, we are currently debugging the equipment and production line."

Liu Changhe, the person in charge of the Aviation Industrial Park, introduced to Chu Feng: "Because it will take at least half a year to deal with the matters concerning the CJ-5, I will transfer all the personnel from the CJ-5 here."

"On the one hand, by assembling and repairing the La-7 fighter, we can gain experience and train new personnel. On the other hand, we can also speed up the assembly of our own La-7 fighters so that they can be replenished to the flight base as quickly as possible, expanding the strength of our flight base."

At this point, Liu Changhe pointed to Aircraft Production Workshop 1 and said, "Workshop 1 is the fastest-progressing one. It's also the first one we built. We've mobilized all our best and brightest to work there, and everyone lives and eats in the workshop every day."

"According to the current progress, in two months at most, the production line and assembly process will be fully completed, and the first La-7 fighter jet we assembled and produced will be able to roll off the production line."

"With the capacity of our workshop, if we run it at full capacity, we can assemble and produce 50 La-7 fighters a month." At this point, Liu Changhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, our power supply is still insufficient and our staff are still unskilled."

"But I guarantee that once the three production workshops are operational, we can produce 60 La-7 fighters a month."

After hearing Liu Changhe's introduction, Chu Feng nodded slightly and said, "This speed is already very good. We only have 500 sets of complete parts for the La-7 fighter."

"At your production and assembly speed, it can last for a year."

Chu Feng paused and said, "After the production of the La-7 fighter is completed, can we convert it to produce the CJ-5 on the spot without the support of new La-7 fighter parts?"

A lot of things change in a year, but everything is uncertain.

Chu Feng didn't know whether he could get a new aircraft production line or spare parts, so he only had two options: one was to purchase from outside, and the other was to rely on the existing CJ-5 production line to produce some combat aircraft.

"no problem!"

Hearing Chu Feng's question, Liu Changhe nodded vigorously and said, "We have considered this issue. Once the spare parts of the La-7 fighter are used up, we can modify the assembly line slightly and combine it with the CJ-5 production line, so that it can be seamlessly connected."

"In addition, we have also launched a project to mass-produce a single-seat fighter jet based on the CJ-5. While continuing to produce primary trainer aircraft, we also want to design and manufacture it. The downside is that our engine is not good enough."

"The CJ-5 is powered by a 300-horsepower engine, which is far inferior to engines with thousands of horsepower."

Liu Changhe did not guarantee Chu Feng that they would succeed. He introduced some of their preparations and ideas and also mentioned some problems.

"Ok!"

Hearing the difficulties and problems raised by Liu Changhe, Chu Feng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, write down some of the difficulties you encounter and give them to me. I will be responsible for solving them for you one by one."

"The La-7 fighter is just a transitional product. We still need an aircraft model that we can truly master and produce stably. Only then will we have greater confidence when developing our air force."

After staying in the Aviation Industrial Park for three days, Chu Feng returned to Yuan County with a large amount of information, problems that needed to be solved, and a list of required technologies, personnel, materials, and equipment.

Just as Chu Feng was sorting these things out and thinking about how to solve the problem, he saw Li Mingqiang walk in and said, "Division Commander, we just received a telegram from the Second War Zone and the Eighth Route Army. Tomorrow at noon, the National Government, the Second War Zone, and delegations from all walks of life will arrive in Yuan County."

"I heard that there are quite a few foreigners here this time. I don't know the specific circumstances of their coming here, but they are all people of status, such as military attachés from embassies of various countries."

Hearing Li Mingqiang's words, Chu Feng was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.

He was also thinking about how to purchase these mechanical equipment. Now, he heard that foreigners were coming, and they were all from the embassy in China. For Chu Feng, these people would be a very good channel to purchase supplies.

At this moment, the Japanese blockade of China has not yet reached its peak, and a lot of supplies can still come in.

"Call the Second War Zone and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters back and tell them I'll be in Yuan County to receive everyone who comes."

Nothing happened that night until the next afternoon.

A group of people came to Yuan County, including Chinese people as well as military attachés, diplomats, businessmen and journalists from various countries.

That evening, Chu Feng held a welcome banquet for everyone, which was quite grand.

On the second day, Chu Feng and others received a group of people from the National Government and the Second War Zone.

The commander of the National Government is no longer Major Qin, but Lieutenant General Wen, and the commander of the Second War Zone is still Major General Zhang.

"General Chu Feng, this is your letter of appointment!"

"These are commendations and letters of appointment given to the meritorious brothers of the 1st Independent Division!"

Lieutenant General Wen, who led the team, politely handed the letter of appointment as the commander of the Independent 1st Division and commendations to Chu Feng and others.

Then, Lieutenant General Wen pulled out a piece of paper from his briefcase and said, "This is some intelligence our intelligence department has obtained from the Japanese mainland."

"Their air force suffered a loss at the hands of the Independent 1st Division. Unable to produce advanced fighter jets domestically, they chose to spend 3000 million yen to purchase their advanced fighter jets from Hans and Mishima."

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Wen handed it to Chu Feng and said with a smile: “Before leaving, the government told me to hand it over to General Chu Feng personally, so that you can be mentally prepared.”
