Tongliao, the division of the reading division.

Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan reported to Zhang Xinghan with a solemn face: "Division, I just got the news that Changchun was lost last night, and General Li Du would rather die than retreat, and martyred the country!" Most of Jilin saved [***] and died in battle, and only a few broke through. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan took off his military hat with regret, got up and bowed his head in silence.

Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe and others also followed suit.

After a few minutes of silence, Zhang Xinghan put on his military hat and raised his head and said, "Order Commander Sa to immediately lead the cavalry regiment eastward and withdraw the rest of the Changchun garrison to our base as much as possible." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan stepped forward and turned to leave.

"Now, Changchun and Jinzhou have been lost, and there is not much time left for us, and we must complete the expansion and reorganization as soon as possible!" After Zhao Zhenfan left, Zhang Xinghan turned his head to Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others: "For details such as specific personnel and materials, Mr. Jiang and Uncle Wang, you have to worry about it." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Baili and I will do our best." Wang Yizhe said.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in these three days, Sabuli successfully brought back the remnants of Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai, who had broken through from Changchun.

However, both of them suffered heavy losses, and there were less than 1,000 people who withdrew with them to Tongliao.

In the past three days, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng and others have made unremitting efforts to finally formulate a detailed reorganization plan for Zhang Xinghan.

After Zhang Xinghan saw it, he made a slight modification and immediately ordered all departments of the Reading Division to assemble and execute.

At this time, the total strength of the army and air force in Tongliao had exceeded 40,000, and nearly half of them were new recruits.

Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize and reorganize in order to integrate the combat effectiveness of the whole division.

First of all, Tongliao resisted the reading division and officially changed its name to the Northeast New Army.

The new army is temporarily organized into three infantry divisions, one directly under the flying regiment, one directly under the armored brigade, one directly under the heavy artillery brigade, one cavalry regiment, one guard battalion, and one reconnaissance battalion.

The reconnaissance battalion was expanded from the original reconnaissance company, and suitable seedlings were selected from among the recruits for secret training.

Each division has three infantry regiments, each with more than 2,000 men.

There are units directly under the division headquarters, including an artillery battalion, a guard company, and a baggage company, and the cavalry company directly under the original regiment has been reorganized into a cavalry reconnaissance battalion directly under the division, and the total number of troops in each division after the reorganization is about 9,000.

The strength and weapon configuration of the other infantry regiments were almost the same as those of the four main regiments of the Reading Division.

The biggest change in the Northeast New Army is that all divisions and regiments are equipped with a full supply of motorcycles and military trucks, thus realizing the transition from a pure infantry division to a motorized infantry division.

Of course, these trucks and motorcycles were produced by Zhang Xinghan from watches.

In consideration of the fact that in the future battles with the Japanese army, there may also be encounters with the heavy artillery brigades of the Japanese army, in order to ensure that the new army can have artillery fire to compete with it.

Zhang Xinghan replaced all the two artillery regiments of the artillery brigade under his command with 150mm caliber heavy howitzers, making this heavy artillery regiment a strategic artillery unit of the reading division.

As for the 105mm howitzers that the artillery brigade replaced, Zhang Xinghan added some of them and assigned them to the artillery battalions directly under the three motorized infantry divisions.

In this way, it was also ensured that each motorized infantry division had a sufficiently powerful divisional artillery group.

In addition to two heavy artillery regiments, the heavy artillery brigade also has an air defense regiment equipped with more than a dozen 88mm anti-aircraft guns and more than 30 anti-aircraft machine guns.

On the part of the armored brigade, considering that the third tank is still somewhat behind.

Zhang Xinghan was determined to build it into an invincible armored force in Northeast Asia, laying the foundation for future mechanized troops and armored divisions.

Zhang Xinghan eliminated dozens of No. 3 tanks from the original armored company and kept them all for the training and study of the new armored troops.

The armored brigade was equipped with 100 more advanced German No. 4 tanks, and because they were the "brothers" of the No. 3 tanks, the veterans of the armored regiment were able to master the methods of familiarizing themselves with them more quickly.

In addition to a hundred No. 4 tanks, the armored brigade was equipped with, a hundred tracked armored vehicles, each armed with one to two anti-aircraft machine guns of 12,7mm caliber, or one 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

The armored brigade has a tank regiment and an air defense regiment, of which anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns can also be used against ground targets, assist tank regiments in assault, and can also be used for air defense, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In terms of flying regiments, there is no change in the number of aircraft, after all, the Zero fighter will remain the absolute air supremacy in Northeast Asia for years to come.

With BF109, one is responsible for long-range combat and the other is responsible for close-range combat, which is perfectly combined with each other.

However, Zhang Xinghan's kill value is still more than 200,000 after excluding the No. 4 tank and 150mm heavy howitzers.

As long as he needs, he can unblock more advanced land-based and sea-based fighters such as the F4F, F6U and P51 Mustang at any time.

The guard battalion has remained unchanged in size, and the reconnaissance battalion has undergone considerable changes, not only has the number of personnel been increased by as much as three times.

Its formal establishment is also different from that of ordinary reconnaissance units, with a total of three companies in the battalion.

Since all divisions and regiments are equipped with cavalry reconnaissance units directly under them, Shen Xingye's reconnaissance battalion is no longer responsible for reconnaissance combat tasks under normal circumstances.

Rather, it is secretly changing the surname of the secret agent, who is responsible for intelligence detection, defense against the enemy in the base area, and monitoring the chief officers of divisions and regiments.

Of course, only these three companies were really trained by Shen Xingye's harsh training, and after training, the agents of these three companies would be sent out in a netting style, and each would be ordered to act and develop its own downline.

The required funds were secretly allocated by Zhang Xinghan.

The strength of Sabuli's cavalry regiment was also maintained unchanged, with a strength of about 2,500 to 3,000 men, until the armored brigade formally formed its combat effectiveness.

More of Sabuli will be responsible for the vigilance and patrol of the base area, as well as the tasks of law and order.

After all, in the future battles, the cavalry will slowly withdraw from the stage of modern warfare and gradually be replaced by powerful armored forces.

As for the military commanders of each division, brigade, and regiment, the details are as follows: The 1st Mobu Division was expanded from the original 701 Regiment, with Wang Yizhe as the division commander and Liu Jianguo as the deputy division commander, and concurrently as the commander of the 1st Mobu Regiment.

Wang Yizhe was originally a lieutenant general of the army, and he was also the old boss of Liu Jianguo and Zhang Xinghan, and now he has become Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law, and he is the commander of the First Mobu Division, which is the most suitable.

The Second Mobu Division was formed by the expansion of the original 702 Regiment and the Tongliao Garrison Regiment, the division commander was Wang Yicai, the former commander of the 702 Regiment, and the deputy division commander was Liu Guodong, the former commander of the garrison regiment.

The 3rd Mobu Division was formed by the combination of the original 703 Regiment and the 704 Regiment, with the division commander Wang Tiehan, the former commander of the 703 Regiment, and Zhang Shixian, the deputy division commander.

The deputy commanders of the above divisions shall act as chief of staff.

The members of the New Army Command are composed of Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, and Zhao Zhenfan.

Zhang Xinghan was the commander, Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan were the deputy commanders, and Jiang Baili was appointed chief of staff.

The commander of the armored brigade is still Li Zhenyuan, the former commander of the armored company.

As for Feng Zhanhai and Xing Zhanqing, they respectively held the post of staff officer of the New Army Headquarters, and basically had no real power.

The reason why Zhang Xinghan made this arrangement was also a helpless move, because the officers and soldiers of the two of them were all lost in the Battle of Changchun, and they could not be allowed to serve as the commanders of the main divisions and regiments as soon as they came.

That's too unfair to these old subordinates who follow their birth and death.

Of course, Zhang Xinghan could not lose the loyalty of his old subordinates for them.

Immediately after the reorganization was completed, all units of the Forces nouvelles began intensive training in order to cope with possible battles in the future.

During this period of the new army's training, the Northeast was frequently reported to be defeated, first Zhao Zhenhe, the former deputy commander of the 24th Brigade of Reading Li, was defeated in Harbin and led the remnants to retreat to Qiqihar.

Immediately afterwards, the army broke through the Shanhai Pass, and the soldiers pointed directly at Pingjin.

In the middle of March of the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Yue army captured the entire territory of Jilin Province, and most of the remnants of the Jilin Provincial Defense Army took refuge in Yue himself and became a Han annihilator.

With the help of a large number of puppet troops, the 14th Division invaded Heilongjiang in late March.

Zhao Zhenhe, Ma Zhanshan and others led their troops to resist at Jiangqiao, although this Jiangqiao defense battle was nearly half a year later than the history of another time and space, but it was also tragic and tragic.

Although Zhang Xinghan sent the air force to the airspace over Jiangqiao several times to provide support, Ma Zhanshan and Zhao Zhenhe's troops were eventually outnumbered because of the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and after resisting for three days, they were forced to retreat due to excessive casualties.

During this period, in order to resist the condemnation of the so-called League of Nations in Western countries, he was afraid that he would stage another intervention by the three countries to return Liao.

Through agents, the late Qing Emperor Puyi, who was living in Tianjin, was brought to Dalian.

They began to secretly plan the establishment of Manchukuo, with Pu Yi as a puppet, to achieve their strategic goal of actually controlling and occupying the northeast.

At the same time, the 2nd Division, 6th Division, and 20th Division of the Kwantung Army had been reorganized, and Muto Nobuyoshi began to carry out the plan of occupying Rehe and cutting off the new army of Tongliao and Guannai, so as to complete the strategic encirclement plan of Zhang Xinghan's headquarters.

In order to ensure the smooth establishment of Manchukuo, the base camp instructed its secret service to deliberately provoke an incident in Shanghai at an opportune time to divert the attention of China's political axe and the rest of the world.

As a result, the Shanghai branch of the special high school began a secret planning operation, and Yoshiko Kawashima, the ace agent of the special high school who was stranded in the northeast, was also ordered to secretly rush to Shanghai.

It is said that the navy is also secretly transferring troops to Shanghai, and a conspiracy with a strategic surname is about to be staged in Shanghai.

Tongliao, the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.

Jiang Baili pointed to the map and said to Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and others who were sitting on the side: "According to intelligence, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army has begun to move closer to Rehe under the cover of the 7th Division, and if we don't send troops to intervene, Rehe will be lost in a week at most." ”

As soon as Jiang Baili finished speaking, Zhao Zhenfan continued: "However, the army in the direction of Zhangwu and Xinmin has been increased to three divisions, namely the 8th Division, and the 2nd and 6th Divisions that have been severely damaged and reorganized by us. ”

"In addition to these three divisions, the main force of the 10th Division of the Chinese Army is also assembled in the Changchun area, and it can advance westward at any time to threaten our Tongliao base area." Huang Xiansheng added.

After the three finished speaking, they all set their eyes on Zhang Xinghan, waiting for him to make a decision.
