Chapter 318: Expansion of the 200th Division

Qiu Maniac was particularly excited during the conversation, Zhang Wei was still a little puzzled at first, but after the two talked for a while, Zhang Wei knew what was going on.

As the deputy commander of the major general, Qiu Luozi, as the deputy commander of the 200th Division, can be regarded as the implementer of the specific plan, and he informed Zhang Wei of the general expansion plan issued by the Central Military Commission.

The foundation of the 200 division is very good, and now there are more than 20,000 people, which is not inferior to the ordinary infantry army, and there are heavy equipment such as infantry and tanks under its subordinates.

The Central Military Commission planned to expand the 200 divisions into a main force on the basis of the three infantry divisions, and reorganize the original tanks and armored vehicles into a single unit, collectively known as the armored corps.

In addition to the armored corps, the new army will be based on three infantry divisions, one of which will continue to use the number of the old 200th division, that is to say, the number of the original 200th division has not been canceled, but an ordinary infantry division has been given a number.

The numbers of the other two divisions will have to be assigned together with the Military Commission and the military number.

Along with the formation of new units and the cancellation of old units, there are naturally a large number of personnel changes, and Qiu Maniac's previous excitement comes from this, he revealed some information to Zhang Wei, if nothing else, he will be transferred from the former deputy commander of the 200th Division Major General to the commander of the subordinate infantry division.

That is to say, he will personally lead the troops to fight, Qiu Madman's previous service experience, most of them were deputies, he was the chief of staff in the teaching corps, and he was the deputy division commander in the 200th Division, not an officer who directly led the troops to command the battle, and now that he has the right to lead the troops, how can he not be excited?

"Zhang Wei, the reorganization order is about to be issued, this time I will personally serve as the division commander, and Commander Liao will also serve with me."

Madman Qiu is talking about the current Chief of Staff of the 200th Division, Chief Liao, as he said, Liao will also enter Qiu's army, these two people are from the teaching corps system, and it is certainly not a big problem to join forces.

"Zhang Wei, that's all for now, when the army is expanded, I will bring you and your battalion over, I am a new division, all new shelves, and I will work hard after I come." Madman Qiu said.

Zhang Wei got up and gave a military salute to Madman Qiu, what Madman Qiu wanted to say had already been said.

Zhang Wei didn't stay long and left the headquarters of the 200th Division, and the meaning of this conversation was to let Zhang Wei continue to follow him.

Of course Zhang Wei would not refuse, he was originally brought into the personnel system of Chief Du's 200th Division by Qiu Maniac.

If he goes to the division where Madman Qiu is directly in charge, his convenience and freedom will definitely be greater, and it will be beneficial to him and to fight.

Not long after this conversation between Zhang Wei and Qiu Madman, in October, the 200th Division finally waited for the reorganization order issued by the Military Commission.

The 200 Division now had five regiments, including three regiments of 1149.1150.1152 and an artillery regiment equipped with anti-aircraft artillery and a supplementary regiment.

The specific adaptation orders are as follows.

The original 200th Division was reorganized into the new 11th Army.

The four battalions of the 1149th Regiment and the 1150th Regiment of the original 200th Division were combined into the Army's Armored Corps, which was directly under the army.

The original 200th Regiment of the 1149th Division, the original 3rd Battalion of the 1150th Regiment and the 4th Battalion of the 1152nd Regiment were combined into the Military Automobile Corps.

The original 1152nd Regiment of the 200th Division and its supplementary regiment, and the newly established 1151st Regiment were incorporated into the new 200th Division as the three infantry regiments of the new 200th Division.

At this time, the number of the 200th division was just the number of an ordinary infantry division, and the original mechanized division with the number of the 200th division has become history.

The former engineer battalion, special service battalion, baggage battalion, communications battalion and other units were all classified as units directly under the army.

In addition, it is ready to accept a large number of new recruits, form a new infantry division, issue the number of the new 22nd Division, and prepare to transfer the friendly 77th Division to the new 11th Army.

To sum up, the newly established 11th Army will be subordinate to the 200, 22 and 77 ordinary infantry divisions, the armored corps, the automobile corps, and the infantry and cavalry artillery and other military units.

The commander of the new 11th Army is not Chief Du, but by Chief Xu, the father of the armored forces of the National Army, who went to engage in the construction of mechanized troops as early as after the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the father of the armored troops of the National Army.

Even Chief Du, the boss of the 200th Division, was asked by Chief Xu to go to the mechanized army in order to make his career, and then he had today's achievements.

At that time, Commander Du became a brigade commander in the 25th Division, but he did not have a good relationship with the commander of the 25th Division, Guan Yudong.

However, because of the bad relationship between the two, as a native of Shaanxi, Chief Du was not further reused, and was finally expelled from the 25th Division.

At that time, Chief Du was very depressed.

In the end, it was Chief Xu, who was newly recommended by the frustrated Chief Du to serve as the captain of the cadet team at the Nanjing Army Traffic School, and Chief Du took this opportunity to rise steadily.

A year later, the chariot battalion of the Jiao Xue School and the armored car team of the second regiment of the traffic corps were combined to form the armored corps of the National Army, with Du Yuming as the first commander. Then he gradually rose through the ranks, and finally had his current status.

Chief Xu does have kindness to Chief Du, and this time Chief Xu is the commander of the new 11th Army, and Chief Du also shows great respect for him.

However, the discerning people in the army know that Commander Xu has not served in the team for a long time, and this time he has taken on other positions while becoming the commander of the new 11th Army.

The part-time job is a signal, indicating that Chief Xu's term of office this time will not be long, and the expanded troops will still be controlled by Chief Du in the end, and all kinds of orders issued now are also issued by Chief Du in his name.

After the expansion of the troops, there have also been large-scale personnel changes at various levels.

The new 11th Army Lieutenant General Chief Xu

Lieutenant General Deputy Army Commander Du

Qiu Luozi, the former major general and deputy commander of the 200th Division, was transferred to the newly established 22nd Division as a major general and division commander.

Chief Liao, the former colonel and chief of staff of the 200th Division, was transferred to the newly established 22nd Division as a major general and deputy division commander.

The commander of the 200th Division will be concurrently held by Commander Du for the time being, and the division commander will be appointed later.

In addition, there is also an infantry division 77 Division transferred in, this division was originally a unit of the Hunan Army system, this expansion, was assigned by the Military Commission to the new 11th Army, this division is a miscellaneous system, in the various battles casualties, although the current name belongs to the new 11th Army, but did not really pull over.

As soon as the reorganization order was issued, the troops were constantly mobilized in a chaotic and orderly situation, and in the reorganization, except for the units below the regimental level, almost all the rest of the troops received different orders for reorganization and reorganization.

It's a major surgery.

Madman Qiu really did not forget that on the first day when the reorganization order was issued, Zhang Wei received an order from the division headquarters, to be precise, it should be called the military headquarters now.

The appointment order is personally signed, stamped, and mimeographed by Chief Du.

The above content is not long, and just a few sentences will determine the future direction of Zhang Wei and the preparation camp.

"The headquarters is ordered to be reorganized, and the order is as follows: Zhang Wei, commander of the reserve battalion, and all the officers and men of the reserve battalion shall cancel the number of the reserve battalion and transfer all of them to the newly formed 22nd Division of Benjun, which shall be carried out immediately without delay -- Du Yuming, lieutenant general and deputy commander of the new 11th Army of the Army, October 1, 27."
