[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 937: Continue to expand the army and prepare for war (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng also knew that continuing to form a new unit would definitely be opposed by other leaders of the military region, after all, although the Suicha Military Region was now strong, it had reached its limit to support 400,000 troops, and if there were no special circumstances, there was really no need to continue to form new troops.

However, Ma Zheng knows that now the world has reached a critical point of change in the situation, and whether it is China, Japan, or other countries in the future, they will not regret the expansion of their troops, and when the time comes, whether it is active or passive, the Suicha Military Region will also be affected by this trend, and it is better to face it calmly now than to hastily organize it in the future.

Immediately, Ma Zheng said: "Although what you said is very reasonable, but you have not looked far away, and now the Japanese army does not come to us to trouble us is tantamount to acquiescing in our strength, so this time is the time for our army to vigorously develop." ”

"In addition, out of strategic considerations, the time is ripe for us to completely solve the problem of northern China, as far as the Japanese troops now stationed in North China are concerned, as long as our army can definitely drive them all south of the Yangtze River with the loss of 200,000 people, if the Japanese army's plan to go south or north is implemented, then it will definitely draw troops from the Chinese battlefield, and as long as our army exerts its strength, there will be no problem at all in completely destroying the North China Front. Therefore, our army must immediately seize the time to develop the strength of the troops and train more new troops. ”

"How many new troops is the commander going to recruit?" Wang Huiguo said.

As the logistics director of the military region, Wang Huiguo is not concerned about how many troops are formed and how many battles are won, but how many troops his logistics warehouse can support.

Ma Zheng said: "Now our army has a total of more than 400,000 people, including more than 200,000 field troops, more than 100,000 rear garrison troops, and 100,000 recruits. Judging from the overall situation of the military region, the strength of the field troops is insufficient, so it is necessary to increase the size of the field troops, so I plan to upgrade all the original 100,000 local garrison units to field troops. ”

"In this way, all the local garrisons will be evacuated, so I am ready to form another 100,000 rear garrison troops, together with the previous gradual 100,000 recruits to act as a defense force within the military district. The specific plan is to integrate the forces within the jurisdiction of the military sub-districts, and it is planned that each military sub-district should have at least one integrated division and four independent brigades, plus some directly subordinate troops, with an approved number of 60,000 troops. ”

"In this way, the five military subdivisions of Guisui, Chanan, Renan, Chabei, and Suixi are 300,000 people, and in addition, we have also gained a firm foothold in northern Jinbei and Jinzhong, so it is necessary to form the northern Jinbei military subdivisions, plus the troops directly under the military region, it is impossible to do without 400,000 people, so it is imperative to form new troops!"

"Commander, what you said is very reasonable, but we have so many logistics material reserves, and the current 400,000 troops are barely there, and if another 100,000 troops are formed, there will inevitably be a gap in the supply of logistics materials, and once there is a big war, the consequences will be very serious." Wang Huiguo reminded.

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "If our Eighth Route Army were to take the higher authorities to allocate materials, I'm afraid that now we won't even have the original 300,000 people!" I intend to organize the newly formed 100,000 men into 20 garrison brigades, each with an authorized strength of 5,000 troops, and each brigade has under the jurisdiction of two infantry regiments of 1,800 men and a guard battalion, cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, and baggage battalion. ”

"These garrison brigades do not need to go to the battlefield, or they do not need to go to the battlefield for the time being, their task is to stay in the rear. In addition to training, these 20 garrison brigades also have to reclaim the land by themselves, and have enough food and clothing by themselves, and the military region will take care of the rest except for the necessary weapons and ammunition and food for the beginning of the troop formation. ”

Hearing Ma Zheng say this, the big guy had to the bottom in his heart, it turned out that the commander did not want 100,000 soldiers who went to the battlefield, but 100,000 organized militia to watch the family.

As for the cultivation of land and land reclamation by troops, it is not uncommon in the Eighth Route Army, but it is the only one in the Suicha Military Region, so Political Commissar Luo and others believe that what Ma Zheng wants is not a field army, but a militia that can resist the Japanese army in a special period or prevent the Japanese army from infiltrating the rear, so they all agreed to Ma Zheng's expansion plan, and Ma Zheng did not say anything about it.

Okamura Ningji, who was in Beiping, did not expect that Ma Zheng was still expanding his armaments at this time, let alone that Ma Zheng had now begun to formulate a battle plan to deal with the Japanese army in North China.

As Ma Zheng expected, the result of Okamura Ningji's meeting in Beiping was also to affirm the strength of Ma Zheng's department, and the established plan was to temporarily refrain from clashing with the Chinese defenders, especially Ma Zheng's department, and even if there was a conflict, large-scale battles would not be allowed, because the battle between the base camp and the north seemed to have been resolved.

Although Okamura Ninmura didn't know whether the base camp was going south or north, with his intelligence and connections in the base camp, he still heard some rumors. Combined with some unusual orders from the base camp during this time, Okamura Ninmura judged that the possibility of the empire going south was very high.

In this regard, Okamura Ninmura is not happy, nor disappointed, very indifferent. Originally, as early as two years earlier, Germany had asked Japan to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Far East from northeastern China and the Suidong steppes in the event of the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, while Germany launched an attack on the traditional areas of the Soviet Union from Poland and the whole of Eastern Europe, and simultaneously attacked the behemoth Soviet Union in the east and west directions of the two cities.

But Japan has been frightened by the steel lion of the Soviet Union, and the First Battle of Nomenkan showed the entire Japanese Empire what is a truly mechanized force and what is a real modern war.

When Zhukov led thousands of tanks to form a steel monster suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army, the Japanese army suddenly found that they were also human beings, and the spirit of bushido could not make them invulnerable, everything was a floating cloud in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Soviet Union, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops became ashes in a very short period of time, so although the plan to go north was mentioned some time ago, there were few responders, so the only and inevitable choice was to go south.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the face of Japan and the so-called Yamato nation, Japan is a standard country that worships the strong, and they are willing to be a dog in front of the strong.

But when the strong are not strong, they will immediately bite back, and this is especially true when it comes to China. During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent Tang envoys to China more than a dozen times in a row, and even their capital was built by Chang'an, which imitated the Tang Dynasty.

However, when the Ming Dynasty was unable to govern the vast frontier, Japan produced a class of ronins, the number of whom was unexpected, and it was impossible to say that it was impossible to say without the support of the Japanese government at that time.

The plague of the Ming Dynasty has become a major problem for the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, for which there is the famous Qi Jiguang anti-Japanese trouble. When the Qing Dynasty was about to collapse, Japan took advantage of the Sino-Japanese War to extort and plunder the blood and sweat of the Chinese people.

A full 230 million taels of silver, what kind of concept is that, the total annual tax of the Qing Dynasty was only 80 million taels, that is to say, during the First Sino-Japanese War alone, Japan plundered the tax revenue from the Qing government for three whole years at one time.

However, evil has evil retribution, Ma Zheng knows very well the fate of the Japanese, after the end of the war of aggression against China for half a century, or even longer, Japan is a country not a country, and all activities will be based on the face of the United States.

In fact, if according to Germany's plan, Japan attacked the Far East of the Soviet Union from several directions, then even if the big guy of the Soviet Union survived in the end, it would definitely not have the glory of the next few decades, and the millions of Kwantung Army left by Japan in northeast China would not have collapsed, and Japan would have had the same tragic situation as later generations.

But things in the world are so wonderful, Japan is finally ready to move to the United States, in order to achieve the expected goal, Japan began to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield to form the Southern Front. However, all this was done in secret, and even some high-ranking officers of the Japanese army did not know very well. (To be continued.) )
