Chapter 501: A Powerful Army

Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang said: "Your Majesty, with the strength of the empire, there is no need to care about the views of other countries, and you can fight if you want, this is the view of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li civilians said: "Your Majesty, all countries are actively preparing for war, and they are not ready, and we are the ones who are most qualified for war, so I support launching a full-scale war, and the faster the better, the sooner the war starts, the better it will be for the empire." ”

"Hey, you're all fanatical supporters of the war, and it's hard to communicate with you." Zhang Wei said with emotion.

Lu Weimin suggested: "Your Majesty, I propose to reorganize the existing army first, first of all, the East African Theater, the North African Theater, the Qin State, the South Asian Theater and the Western Xinjiang Special Region, and then the Northern Theater; The reorganized program, first, increased the size of the troops, the Wehrmacht and the Praetorian Guard were of the same formation; Second, each squad is equipped with a former Yugoslav M76 7.92mm sniper rifle on the basis of the original, so that the rifle, light machine gun and sniper rifle ammunition are the same, reducing the logistical pressure; Third, the establishment of platoons and companies will remain unchanged for the time being, and an infantry artillery platoon will be added at the battalion level to strengthen the battalion's ability to attack fortified positions, and a rifle squad equipped with Barrett M82A1 sniper rifles; This would increase the number of men per battalion by 100; In addition, I suggested that the Janissaries switch to the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, and the replaced MG34 general-purpose machine gun was supplemented to the cavalry units, which had somewhat weak firepower and had to be equipped with more machine guns and mortars. ”

Zhang Wei checked the price of Bartlet, it was too expensive, and said with a smile: "You are too extravagant, not to mention that a battalion is equipped with a Bartley sniper sniper squad, it is good for a regiment to be equipped with one." ”

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, although this gun is expensive, it has its valuable value, and it will definitely give the enemy an unexpected surprise." ”

Zhang Wei checked the system again and asked, "Why don't you have a sniper squad for each division?" ”

Lu Weimin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's too little, besides, it is directly under the division headquarters, and they have too few opportunities to go to the battlefield, my opinion is that it will be assigned to the battalion level, and each battalion will be assigned one first, and then talk about it after trying the effect." ”

In this way, the number of equipment was greatly reduced, and Zhang Wei agreed to his request, saying: "Okay, then try it later, and if the effect is good, each battalion will be equipped with a few more Bartles; Is it necessary to change the general-purpose machine gun? “

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, the MG42 general-purpose machine gun has more advantages, and it is more suitable for fighting in harsh environments, and each machine gun squad can be equipped with 3 machine guns, so that the firepower of the company level will be greatly strengthened." “

Zhang Wei asked, "Do you still have any opinions?" “

Xiao Xuguang said: "Your Majesty, since Chief of General Staff Lu suggested that the National Defense Division be reorganized together, my opinion is to do a major reorganization, which can be maintained for a long time without reorganization; First of all, the Garand M1 rifle in the hands of officers and guards was changed to a G-43 semi-automatic rifle to unify the ammunition; Secondly, there are no snipers in all countries now, so the sniper at the class level selects a sniper with good marksmanship from each squad and serves as a squad sniper after training, so as to keep the members of the squad unchanged, and the ammunition is all unified, which is convenient for supply and combat cooperation; Thirdly, there should be at least one MG42 general-purpose machine gun per platoon, and at least 2 M2 mortars per platoon; The fourth company-level support firepower can be changed to M1 mortars, and the battalion-level support artillery is equipped with an artillery company, 4 to 6 65mm mountain guns, and there is no need to match infantry guns for the time being; The regiment is equipped with a 75-mm mountain artillery battalion, the division is equipped with a 105-mm howitzer regiment, and the army is equipped with a 155-mm howitzer brigade. “

Qin Fei suggested: "Your Majesty, I suggest that each officer and soldier be issued with 4 grenade shells, the intensity of the previous battles was not large, so there were no grenades, and there will be many opportunities for positional warfare, defensive warfare and street fighting in the future, so they must be equipped with grenades." “

Zhang Wei said: "Okay, the suggestion of the two of you is very good, especially the suggestion of unifying the caliber of ammunition and facilitating the supply is very good, and it is very important to strengthen the firepower output at the company and platoon level, and it can be adapted according to your suggestion." Do you have any comments? “

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, in this case, the number of people in each division will increase too much. “

Zhang Wei said: "It doesn't matter if there are more people, the most important thing we need now is officers and soldiers, as long as they can easily command and have a strong firepower output." "Now that the occupied territory continues to expand, the number of officers and soldiers who can be combined is very large, and Zhang Wei is no longer worried.

Finally, after discussion, the infantry establishment was determined:

Infantry squad: 1 squad leader, 1 deputy squad leader, 7 infantrymen, 1 sniper, 1 light machine gunner, 1 ammunition hand (baggage soldier), a total of 12 people; (Light machine gun is Madsen, with 7.92mm ammunition)

Infantry platoon: 1 platoon commander, 1 deputy platoon commander, 3 infantry squads, 12 M2-60mm mortar crews/2 guns, MG42 general-purpose machine guns/3 people, a total of 53 people; (1 horse per M2 mortar)

Infantry company: 1 company commander, 1 deputy company commander, 3 infantry platoons, 10 general-purpose machine gun squads/3 guns, M1-81mm mortar platoon 20 people/3 guns, 15 baggage squads (part-time cooking squads), 12 guard reconnaissance squads, 1 doctor and 2 nurses, total: 221 people; (The squad leader, platoon commander, deputy company commander, and guard reconnaissance squad are equipped with G-43 semi-automatic rifles/10-round magazines, and 4x optical sights)

Infantry battalion: 1 battalion commander, 1 deputy battalion commander, 1 junior staff officer, 4 infantry companies, 150 people/6 guns of the 1906 65mm mountain artillery company, 38 guard platoons, and 26 reconnaissance platoons; There are 38 people in the baggage platoon, 3 clerks, 3 doctors, 6 nurses, and 4 messengers, totaling 1,155 people;

Infantry Regiment: 1 regiment commander, 1 deputy regiment commander, 1 junior staff officer, 4 infantry battalions, 116 guard companies, 78 reconnaissance companies, 116 baggage companies, 4 clerks, 7 doctors, 14 nurses, 4 communicators, 500 artillery battalions equipped with 12 Bofors 1930 75mm mountain guns, a total of 5,462 people.

Infantry Division: 1 division commander, 1 deputy division commander, 1 intermediate staff officer, 3 junior staff officers, 4 infantry regiments, 500 guard battalions, 500 baggage battalions, 300 reconnaissance battalions, 1,436 artillery regiments equipped with 18 105mm mountain guns, 10 communication squads, 10 clerks, 40 field hospitals, 350 engineer battalions, a total of 25,000 people.

Remarks: 1. The light machine gun used by the squad Madsen is because of its light weight;

2. Due to the fact that there are airplanes and airships responsible for detecting information, the establishment of scouts has been compressed.

Zhang Wei was very satisfied with this establishment, but the logistical materials needed also greatly increased, so he had to increase the number of airships or cars for each army according to the area where he was stationed.

The officers present here are very satisfied with this establishment, because of this relatively large scale, the establishment of the national defense division is reorganized with reference to the establishment of the former Janissary Division, and the number of each national defense division is 20,000, and at the same time, it is determined that each army is composed of one guards division and three national defense divisions, and the total number of personnel directly under the military department is 100,000.
