According to Zhang Cheng's plan, the instructor's combat unit will be expanded into eight infantry brigades, with the infantry brigade consisting of 13 infantry squad members, divided into three conventional combat groups, with the members of the group equipped with Type 37 semi-automatic rifles, the group leader equipped with a 37-bar automatic rifle, and the other group being a machine gun group, equipped with two light machine guns, two main and one deputy machine gun shooters, and a total of 13 squad leaders.

The infantry platoon has three infantry squads and one platoon headquarters, with five platoon members and three infantry squads totaling 44 people; The infantry company has a strength of 200, with one company headquarters, three infantry platoons and one reinforced platoon, with a company headquarters of 15 people, an infantry platoon of 132 people, and a reinforced platoon equipped with 5 general-purpose machine guns, 10 light machine guns, and 5 mortars, with a number of 53 people;

The strength of the infantry battalion is about 800 people, with one company directly under the command of the battalion headquarters and three infantry companies, six hundred people in three infantry companies, 30 people in the battalion headquarters company, 50 people in the heavy machine gun platoon, 50 people in the mortar platoon, 40 people in the baggage platoon, 15 people in the engineer squad and 15 people in the blocking squad.

The strength of the infantry regiment is about 3,000 people, with a regimental headquarters and three infantry battalions, three infantry battalions of 2,400 people, 100 men in the regimental guard company, 150 people in the heavy machine gun company, 150 people in the mortar company, 100 people in the baggage company, 50 people in the engineer platoon, and 50 people in the blocking platoon.

The infantry brigade has a strength of about 10,000 men, with a brigade headquarters and three infantry regiments, three infantry regiments of 9,000 men, 150 brigade headquarters guard battalions, 150 machine gun battalions, 500 artillery battalions, and 300 other logistics non-combatants.

In addition to the 80,000 men in the eight infantry brigades, the instructors also have armored brigades, cavalry brigades, artillery brigades, heavy artillery brigades and other divisions directly under their jurisdiction, plus non-combat logistics personnel, and the total strength of the instructors is about 130,000.

Zhang Cheng's establishment of the armored brigade is to imitate the formation of the most outstanding German armored division of the armored force, the total strength of the armored brigade is 12,000 people, under the jurisdiction of 2 armored regiments, each regiment has three armored battalions, each battalion has two armored companies, including 2 fast armored companies (equipped with BT7 fast tanks) and 1 heavy armored company (T-35 heavy tanks). Each company has 20 tanks and 10 BA armored vehicles, so the instructor has a total of 200 tanks and 150 armored brigades.

In addition, the armored brigade is equipped with 30 anti-tank guns, 180 light machine guns, 60 heavy machine guns, 36 82-mm mortars, 36 57-mm self-propelled anti-tank guns, 10 75-mm infantry guns, 6 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, 360 motorcycles, 200 automobiles, and 8,000 horse-drawn carriages.

The heavy artillery brigade was pulled out of the artillery brigade alone, and the brigade commander Zhang Cheng was appointed by Sun Xiucai, a cousin of Sun Youdao, with a strength of 2,400 people, equipped with 36 M1910/34 152mm howitzers and 36 A-19 122mm cannons from the Soviet Union.

In addition, the army has been greatly expanded, and the cadres are very insufficient, and Zhang Cheng is also worried about increasing the cadre strength of the instructors, and in the end he still sacrificed the magic weapon of replacing equipment with cadres, and dug up dozens of old Red Army and old revolutionaries from other brother troops.

After paying a large amount of weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese army, Zhang Cheng and the leaders of other troops reached an exchange agreement, especially the cadres of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division were almost completely poached by Zhang Cheng.

The 685th Regiment of the 115th Division was famous in later generations, and in 1955, it was in the limelight, and many famous generals were produced.

After being approved by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Yang Zi, the commander of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, was dug up by Zhang Cheng and directly served as the brigade commander of the newly formed Seventh Brigade, and Cheng Cuilin, the former political commissar of the 34th Red Division, who was seriously wounded in the Xiangjiang Battle and was rescued by Zhang Cheng, served as the political commissar of the Seventh Brigade.

Deng Hua, deputy commander of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division, was promoted by Zhang Cheng in one step and directly made him the commander of the newly formed Eighth Brigade. In addition, Liu Guanlou, who served as the head of the training department at Kang University, and more than a dozen veteran Red Army and veteran cadres were also taken under his account one after another and were greatly promoted to key posts.

With the frequent appearance of Zhang Cheng's poisonous hands, the cadres of the instructor were soon in place one after another, but the huge troop establishment of the instructor, let alone the division-level establishment, was more than enough even if it was organized into a group army, but Zhang Cheng knew that the stingy Chang Kaishen would never let the instructor expand into a group army, so he had to continue to name it after the division.

The comrades were very angry that such a huge army still uses a division-level establishment, but Zhang Cheng felt that it was no big deal, and he thought that it would be more convenient for him to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger by continuing to use the division-level establishment.

Think about it, if Zhangcheng's troops still use divisional establishment, then even if the Japanese army overestimates the instructor, it will only guess that its strength is at most 40,000 to 50,000, and they will never think that the instructor has more than 100,000 troops, and once the Japanese army sends troops to encircle and suppress the instructor, it will only send one or two divisions, and in this case, the division and regiment sent by the Japanese army will probably be swallowed by the instructor in one bite.

On the other hand, if the instructor uses the name of the group army, then the Japanese army will definitely attach great importance to it, and once the Zhangcheng troops are encircled and suppressed, it is very likely that they will send troops of four or five divisions of two armies to sweep up, and in that case, even if the instructor can repel the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, he will definitely pay an extremely painful price.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when all the cadres above the battalion level arrived at the division headquarters, Zhang Cheng announced the meeting, and he went straight to the point and directly announced the reorganization plan of the troops: "The reorganization plan of the Central Instructor of the Eighth Route Army: Division Commander Zhang Cheng, Deputy Division Commander Li Yunlong, Director of the Political Training Office Xiao Hua, Deputy Director of the Political Training Office Zhou Weiguo, Chief of Staff Zhang Fengming, Chief of Staff Ding Wei, Minister of Security Hu Wei, and Logistics Minister Feng Shaojie.

The units directly under the jurisdiction of the division headquarters include armored brigades, cavalry brigades, artillery brigades, heavy artillery brigades, recruit brigades, reconnaissance regiments, engineer regiments, heavy fire regiments, air defense regiments, guard regiments, baggage regiments, and "sharp" special operations brigades.

Armored Brigade Commander Li Yunlong, Political Commissar Liu Guanlou, Deputy Brigade Commander Lu Zhongliang; Cavalry Brigade Commander Wang Hu, Political Commissar Xiao Sheng; Artillery Brigade Commander Sun Youdao, Political Commissar Zhang Linsheng; Sun Xiucai, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, Lin Weicong, political commissar; He Tingyi, commander of the recruit brigade, and Song Jinghua, political commissar; Li Dapeng, head of the reconnaissance group, and Wen Yuanzheng, political commissar; Lin Jianjian, head of the engineering regiment, and Gu Yonghong, political commissar;

The head of the air defense regiment, Fang Zizai, and the political commissar He Cong; Li Dahai, head of the guard regiment, and Zhang Dabao, political commissar; Zhang Cong, head of the heavy fire regiment, and Wu Ming, political commissar; sniper battalion commander Zhang Feng and instructor Li Rufeng; Captain Zhang Shanhe of the Blade Special Operations Brigade and instructor Chen Jinbiao; Division Field Hospital, President Tian Fangfang, Head of the Art Troupe Sun Lifang. ”

Before the reorganization order was announced, the cadres under it were boiling, especially the appointment of Li Yunlong as the commander of the armored brigade and Sun Xiucai as the commander of the heavy artillery brigade, which set off a lot of discussions.

Li Yunlong has always regarded himself as a native turtle, but he didn't expect that he would become the commander of the armored brigade with the highest scientific and technological content in one step, and Sun Xiucai was even more amazing, and he was directly promoted from the commander of the artillery battalion to the commander of the heavy artillery brigade, which surprised everyone.
