Chapter 81 Before the Storm 6 This division is not ordinary

In this way, Andrei finally knew that the unit he was going to give himself was coming, and at the same time he knew that he would also have to train snipers and scouts, but when he got the establishment data, Andrei found that he did not have enough officers in his hands, because there were 20,000 recruits given to him by a good guy, which was a special strengthened division, you must know that the divisional establishment of the Soviet Union is now relatively small, and the infantry division of the Soviet Union before the war was the basic composite corps of all arms of the army. It is also the basic unit of measurement to measure the size of an army, and when comparing the size of certain armies, it is often compared with the number of divisions. Pen? Interesting?

In April 1941, the Soviet Army approved the new establishment of infantry divisions: 3 infantry regiments, 2 artillery regiments, 1 anti-tank artillery battalion, 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion and reconnaissance battalion, 1 communications battalion, 1 engineer battalion, 1 automobile transport battalion, and 1 health and medicine battalion. It was stipulated that each infantry division should have 14,483 men, armed with 10,420 rifles, 1,204 submachine guns, 558 machine guns, 210 artillery pieces and mortars excluding 50-mm mortars, 16 light tanks, 13 armored vehicles, 558 vehicles and more than 3,000 military horses. However, before this establishment could be fully implemented, war broke out. At the outbreak of the war, most of the infantry divisions of the border military district numbered only 6085850012000 of the newly established ones. The heavy losses of personnel and equipment in the early stages of the war meant that the new establishment was abandoned before it could be fully implemented.

In July 1941, the Soviet Army issued the first new establishment of infantry in wartime. On the basis of the establishment of April 1941, one artillery regiment equipped with howitzers was abolished, and the remaining one artillery regiment was equipped with 24 cannons, and the anti-tank artillery battalion equipped with 45-mm anti-tank guns was also abolished, and the logistics support detachment was also reduced. The 120-mm mortar company in the infantry regiment was changed to 1 platoon equipped with 2 guns in World War II The Soviet ground artillery was generally 4 artillery batteries, that is, 2 platoons per company with 2 guns per platoon, and the regimental 76-mm artillery company was also reduced by 1 platoon. The infantry battalion eliminated the 45-mm gun platoon, and the 82-mm mortar company was replaced by 1 platoon with 2 guns. The light machine guns of the infantry company were also cut in half, and the heavy machine gun platoon was withdrawn. Due to the tense fighting on the front line and the different shortage of weapons and equipment and personnel in each division, this reorganization lasted for several months. The number of reorganized infantry divisions decreased by 25, artillery and mortars by 52, and cars by 64. The new infantry divisions were reduced in size and increased in mobility, which provided favorable conditions for them to escape from the German encirclement, but the main problem was that the firepower was noticeably weaker. A pre-war infantry division could fire 297,460 rounds per minute, and an infantry battalion could fire 21,600 rounds per minute, while the infantry divisions formed in July 1941 could only fire 0 rounds of ammunition, both of which dropped by about half. The mortar of the newly formed infantry division was reduced by 234 kg in weight in one salvo, accounting for 53 of the weight of the ammunition fired by the infantry division before the war, and the weight of the artillery projectile in one salvo was reduced by 1040 kg, accounting for 74 of the weight of the ammunition fired by the infantry division before the war. Due to the reduction in the number of weapons and the weakening of firepower, it had a great impact on the operations of the Soviet infantry divisions.

Therefore, the three infantry divisions of the Soviet army may be compared with a German infantry division, and the personnel and equipment of the current Soviet infantry division are probably not much better than the brigade, and Andrei knows that because he is a cannon fodder unit, there is no cannon or tank in this formation, and it is not even as good as the Nima puppet army, because the weapons are not complete, and there will only be one-third of the light weapons at that time.

You can find a way to find weapons and equipment by yourself using the relationship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or you can take them from the enemy, at least this light weapon must be complete, otherwise your own infantry division will be delivered to Nima.

Aside from the equipment, now Andre is still scratching his head, although he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find some officers, but these 50 are all at the battalion and company level, these Nima 20,000 people, he has to have a division headquarters, all kinds of staff officers, security personnel and communication personnel, and more importantly, the regiment commander, 20,000 people are simply 20,000 people, and his colonel has brought a hundred times the gap between Nima and 200 people at most, and he and those officers are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, And these future subordinates are all Gulagli people, except for more than 500 officers and sergeants in the punishment camp, Andrei really knows that these people hate the secret police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs so much, you must know that when they went to the Gulag, it was the masterpiece of their own group of Cheka warriors, and a large number of documents about the Gulag in later generations were declassified, Some of these documents provide precise statistics on the number of prisoners incarcerated in the gulag at different times: in 1934 the number of prisoners serving sentences in the gulag was approximate, and the number of prisoners serving sentences increased dramatically. It should be noted that although the Soviet opposition and dissidents were partially assigned to the Gulag concentration camps, most of the prisoners imprisoned in the Gulag were not opponents of Soviet power. Any Soviet citizen could be arrested and exiled to a concentration camp for absenteeism, stealing, or making political jokes.

It can be said that if they have guns in their hands, they are afraid that they will have to shoot their own officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first, and they will be beaten into a sieve! So at the beginning, I had to do a good job of ideological work first, but since these people were at least patriotic when they went to the battlefield at the most critical moment in this country, Andrei was still confident in this, but what about the commander's problem?

Now the Soviet army is still relatively lacking in all kinds of commanders, but because of the development of the war situation, after all, the war has been fought for more than a year, and many commanders, even political cadres, now have preliminary command ability, after all, this battlefield is also regarded as an examination room, and some of them have to have a long brain, or they are pigs, and unqualified officers who have no basic military qualities are afraid that they will basically have no return to the battlefield, and there are basically not many opportunities to make up and retake this exam. Now in the war to learn war, many grassroots commanders and sergeants of the Soviet army are already qualified, and after a large number of grassroots officers and sergeants of the German army are lost, the Soviet army completely crushed their opponents!

So where do I get people? Andrei fell into deep thought!
