Chapter 389: The Four Great Armies
readx;?“ Imitation of our weapons? Jiang Baili and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Xinghan smiled lightly when he heard this, and said without caring at all: "Don't worry, don't say that it is still unknown whether the Japanese can successfully imitate it, even if they can develop it successfully, it is not so simple to really mass production."
You must know that Japan's military industrial system, especially the assembly line production system for individual weapons, has long been finalized.
If you want to change to the production of more advanced weapons and equipment, it is not just as simple as being able to imitate them.
That was the need to change the existing assembly line production equipment and replace it with new equipment.
Due to the different calibres of bullets, even the bullet production line had to be reorganized, which was tantamount to subverting the entire existing army industrial system of the Japanese army. ”
Zhang Xinghan's remarks are by no means alarmist or exaggerated facts, because the facts are laid out here, and the weapons and equipment that Zhang Xinghan equipped the troops with are very mixed.
There are German and American equipment, such as the Garand rifle, which is American equipment, and the MG34 general-purpose machine gun is German equipment.
The weapons and equipment of the two countries have completely different bullet calibers, that is, if the Japanese want to really copy and produce these two individual weapons in batches.
The caliber of ammunition alone can kill their military industry experts, and if two calibers are used for production, then the logistical pressure is not something that small Japan can afford with its national and financial resources.
"Well, Sokuza's analysis makes sense, even if the Japanese have this idea, if they want to actually implement it and do it, it will not happen overnight, and we are indeed a little worried. After listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Jiang Baili nodded with deep sympathy.
"However, the Japanese have not taken any action since the Goryeo Peninsula was captured by us.
It seems that the reason why they swallowed their anger was because they were recuperating and accumulating to restore their national and military strength.
Once they recover, there will be a big war with us. Jiang Baili paused and said.
Zhang Xinghan got up thoughtfully. Led the group straight into the adjacent battle room, and came to the holding map hanging on the wall.
After staring for a moment, Zhang Xinghan muttered to himself: "Now the Japanese are seizing the time to recuperate and accumulate strength. We can't be left behind, and in less than three years, we will definitely have a war.
However, the Japanese are not yet the biggest threat to us, after all, we are separated by a raging sea.
"Nothing, the mustache is my abbreviation for the German Führer." Zhang Xinghan said.
"Germany?" Shen Xingye said on the side: "The head of state mentioned by the general seat is the former German Chancellor Adolf. Hitler? ”
Shen Xingye.
"Not long ago, when I heard a report from my subordinates about the information about the German Consulate in Sun Island, there was a message from the German Consulate about the celebration of the inauguration of their new Chancellor.
And this new president is Adolf. Hitler. He became chancellor in January last year, and in his year in office, Germany's economy and military power have improved significantly
Now that German President Hindenburg is old and frail, Hitler has become a president in the truest sense of the word.
Officials from the German consulate in China on Sun Island were celebrating and cheering. Shen Xingye said.
"Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and said secretly, it seems that the time is about the same as in my memory, Hitler came to power in 33 years and invaded Poland in 39 years.
In just six years, Germany was defeated in World War I. The armed forces of countries saddled with huge war reparations have skyrocketed to become the most powerful presence in Europe.
This has to be said to be a miracle, and it is with these backgrounds that the mustache, a war maniac, has the opportunity to start a war in Europe. Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other military powers competed with each other.
In less than a year, the Germans destroyed countless countries and occupied almost all of Europe, all of which were brilliant achievements created by the Germans.
Of course, none of this has much to do with Zhang Xinghan and the Northeast Frontier Army. At least for now.
However, there is one point that Zhang Xinghan must pay attention to. That is, the strength of Nazi Germany will directly and distract Lao Maozi as much as possible.
To a certain extent, the odds of Lao Maozi, who had already survived the first five-year plan and whose national strength and military strength had begun to increase significantly, might use troops on a large scale in the Far East.
Because although Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army looks strong on the surface, there is still a huge gap compared to a giant land empire polar bear.
If Lao Maozi really uses troops against the Far East with all his might, it will be difficult for the Northeast Frontier Army to resist, and it is not necessarily that the Northeast Frontier Army will be annihilated.
But this will definitely be a protracted and arduous war of resistance, and the northeast base area that Zhang Xinghan has painstakingly managed will also be destroyed.
Once that happens, the Japanese are likely to take advantage of the situation and launch a full-scale invasion of China, with unimaginable consequences.
"By the way, Chief of Staff, Minister Zang, how did you discuss the re-reorganization of our Northeast Frontier Army?" Before Zhang Xinghan left, he told Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi about the intention of reorganizing the Northeast Frontier Army into several group armies, and instructed them to come up with a suitable reorganization plan as soon as possible.
Zang Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the general seat, after we discussed with the chief of staff, we discussed a specific adaptation plan, here is the plan, you can see if it works." ”
As he spoke, Zang Shiyi respectfully handed a document to Zhang Xinghan.
Zhang Xinghan took the document, opened it and read it, pondered for a long time, and nodded: "Yes, your adaptation plan is good." ”
Jiang Baili smiled and said: "Commander, this is also what we have discussed according to the garrisons of our Northeast Frontier Army, and the whole army is divided into four group armies.
Military conflicts in a certain area, including the daily training of the armed forces, can be resolved through discussion by the group army headquarters itself, and important matters can then be reported to the general headquarters for decision.
Similarly, in future battles, we only need to issue military orders and instructions to the headquarters of the various group armies, and this will greatly simplify and enhance the effectiveness of our army's command system. ”
"Well, I agree to this plan, and immediately electrify all departments to implement it!" Zhang Xinghan nodded and commanded.
"Yes!" Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others bowed their heads in response.
The reorganization order was quickly issued to the commanders of the divisions stationed in various parts of the Northeast Frontier Army.
The specific reorganization is as follows: The entire army of the Northeast Frontier Army is divided into four group armies, namely the First Group Army, the Second Group Army, the Third Group Army, and the Fourth Group Army of the Northeast Army.
The four armies were codenamed Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf,
Among them, the First Army included all army units stationed in the Pingjin, Baoding, and Cangzhou areas.
The Second Army was the garrison of all the garrisons of the Goryeo Peninsula, and the Third Army was the garrison of Suiyuan, Chahar, and all the garrisons in the three northwestern provinces and five provinces.
The Fourth Army consists of the four northeastern provinces, including all the land forces in the four provinces of Rehe, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.
The commander of the First Group Army was Huang Xiansheng, the deputy commander and chief of staff was Liu Jianguo, the commander of the Second Group Army was Wang Yizhe, and the deputy commander and chief of staff was Wang Tiehan.
The commander of the Third Group Army was Liu Guodong, the deputy commander was Shen Ke, and the chief of staff was Zhang Tingshu.
The commander of the Fourth Army was Zhao Zhenfan, the deputy commander was Gao Chu, and the chief of staff Du Ting, and the two were still the commanders of the original 208th and 209th divisions.
At present, the total strength of the First Group Army is about 130,000 people, the regular army of the Second Group Army (Northeast Army) is more than 120,000 people, and the total strength of the Goryeo puppet army exceeds 200,000.
The total strength of the Third Group Army was 170,000, with the Fourth Army having the largest strength, plus more than 90,000 captured soldiers of the Jin Sui Army and the Ma Jia Army, which were being reorganized and transformed, with a total strength of more than 200,000.
In addition to the four Army Groups, the Northeast Frontier Army has a 3rd Air Division, a separate tank armored corps and a naval fleet that is at the training stage.
The original heavy artillery brigades have been evenly distributed among the four group armies and are under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters of each group army.
So far, not counting the naval fleet that has not yet truly formed combat effectiveness, Zhang Xinghan's army and air force of the Northeast Frontier Army already have 32 army divisions, and their numbers have been lined up from 200 divisions to 231 divisions, one tank armored corps and one air force flight division, with a total strength of more than 700,000 troops.
Of course, there are nearly 100,000 of these captives, who are being reorganized and reformed in an orderly manner.
The 32 reorganized divisions are still in the stage where they are not yet fully manned, and if they are to be fully staffed according to the 30,000 people rated by Zhang Xinghan for each reorganized division, the total strength of the infantry alone will exceed the 1 million mark.
The formation of the group armies was quite rapid, and Zhang Xinghan began to inspect the fertilizer factory, the brewery in the next few days, and finally came to the Longxing Military Academy, which was in full swing.
Today's Longxing Military Academy, because the first batch of cadets graduated ahead of schedule, has already recruited the second batch of cadets, and has added study classes for the navy and air force.
Compared with the first batch of students, the second batch of students came to sign up for more, and many people even came from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River and traveled thousands of mountains and rivers.
Today's Northeast Longxing, because of the brilliant results of the Northeast Frontier Army and the golden signboards of the principal and vice president such as Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili.
The attraction of aspiring young people with the ambition to serve the country has almost overshadowed the Nanjing Army Military Academy (Whampoa Military Academy).
Regarding this point, Chairman Jiang, who is also the principal, has been furious more than once in Nanjing, scolding Niang Xipi.
Today's military academy not only trains military quality talents of various branches for the Northeast Frontier Army, but also becomes a place where Zhang Xinghan settles warlord leaders such as Sun Dianying, Ma Hongkui, and Ma Bufang.
Sun Dianying, Ma Hongkui and others have now become honorary instructors in the name of Longxing Military Academy, of course, they only have a vacant position, without any specific rights, and the students do not need them to do their teaching.
Only occasionally according to Zhang Xinghan's instructions, I asked them to make some speeches and make a show. (To be continued......)
