At the time of the decisive victory of the Northern Serbian Corps in the northeast, the Allied forces also achieved a major victory, and the world anti-fascist war ushered in a spring. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first good news came from the Soviet-German battlefield, Stalin was a bold leader, and despite Stalin's own shortcomings, Stalin himself showed admirable courage and perseverance in this war. Compared with the insistence of the Soviet Union, it is a bit unbearable that France surrendered within four weeks.

At the time when the Northern Serbian Corps launched the Northeast Campaign, Stalin organized the army to launch the Belgorod-Kharkov offensive campaign, the Mga offensive campaign (Leningrad direction), the Smolensk offensive campaign, the Donbass offensive campaign, and the Chernigov-Poltava offensive campaign on the Eastern Front.

Although the entire territory of the Soviet Union has not yet been liberated, everyone has seen the dawn of victory, and the most important thing is that the Soviet Union has driven Germany out of the traditional industrial areas, which is good news for the Soviet Union, which needs a lot of Western assistance.

The next good news came from the Western European battlefield, to be honest, Ma Zheng didn't pay much attention to the European battlefield from the beginning, after all, he couldn't even take care of himself in this era, how could he have so much time and energy to care about other things.

According to information from the Soviet side, the Allies were preparing to open a second theater in Europe in the first half of '44 and are now preparing for this battle.

And Ma Zheng knew that once the Allies landed in Normandy, the end of German fascism was coming.

All in all, the first half of 1944 was a sunny year for both China and the Allies as a whole, and people finally saw hope for the end of the war.

But all this has nothing to do with Ma Zheng, and Ma Zheng is having a headache for the huge army. Due to the rapid development of the troops, the total strength of the Saibei Corps has now exceeded 2 million, and it is definitely the largest strategic group in China.

It is a good thing to have more soldiers, but it is not good if there are 50,000 or 60,000 people in a division, so in Ma Zheng's view, it is imperative to carry out a new round of reorganization of the troops.

Subsequently, in the name of the commander of the Corps, Ma Zheng ordered all military regions to immediately report to the Corps Headquarters on the establishment of troops and the total number of troops, while the staff officers of the Corps Headquarters quickly counted and sorted out the data reported by the various military regions, and soon Ma Zheng knew how many people he had.

2.276 million people, this is a shocking number, you must know that the North China Corps, which was formed by the merger of the original Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, was only 1.2 million troops at this time, but I did not expect the total strength of the Saibei Corps to reach 2.27 million.

Later, Ma Zheng called the military and political cadres of various military regions to inquire about the reason for the rapid expansion of the troops, and learned that during this period of time, the troops incorporated a large number of puppet army bandits and small anti-Japanese units, so almost all the troops were rapidly expanded, and the number of soldiers naturally increased.

In view of this, after consulting the Central Committee, Ma Zheng once again carried out a major reorganization of the troops under his command.

On 2 June 1944, military and political cadres at and above the division level of the Saibei Corps held an enlarged meeting in Xinjing to discuss the issue of the reorganization of the troops.

The command system of the Corps in the current reorganization of the Northern Saibei Corps has increased the number of personnel at the army level, and the high-level command system of the whole army has been divided into three levels, from high to low, namely, the corps, the military region, and the field army; at the same time, the Northeast Military Region has been abolished and the North Manchurian Military Region and the South Manchurian Military Region have been established.

As a result of this reorganization, the Saibei Corps decided to retain the Suiyuan Military Region, the Chahar Military Region, the Shandong Military Region, the Rehe Military Region, the North Manchurian Military Region, and the South Manchurian Military Region, and each military region has four field armies under its jurisdiction, and each field army has three integrated divisions and one corps headquarters under its jurisdiction.

Two days later, the headquarters of the Northern Serbian Corps issued an order on the reorganization of the troops, and at the same time announced the new list of cadre appointments.

Xu Yinghui, chief of staff, Mo Shaoyan, minister of armed forces, Shen Yulong, director of the Political Department, Wang Huiguo, minister of logistics, Feng An, minister of military industry, Deng Guohua, minister of education and propaganda, Chen Jiaying, vice minister, and Xu Xiaolin, minister of military intelligence, have hardly changed at the top level.

Huang Sicheng, commander of the Suiyuan Military Region, Xing Chao, political commissar, and Wang Tao, chief of staff, have a total strength of 280,000 troops under their command, including the first, second, third, and fourth armies, as well as cavalry divisions, artillery divisions, engineer brigades, guard brigades, and assault brigades directly under their subordinates.

The Chahar Military Region, with Commander Yang Chengwu, Political Commissar He Xiulin, and Chief of Staff Zhu Changgui, has a total strength of 290,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Armies.

In the Rehe Military Region, Commander Ma Desheng, Political Commissar Tie Xinlan, and Chief of Staff Zhou Hai are under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Army, the Tenth Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Twelfth Army, with a total strength of 270,000 troops.

Xu Hu, commander of the North Manchurian Military Region, Xue Bicheng, political commissar, and Shi Wenhu, chief of staff, have a total strength of 270,000 troops under their command, including the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th armies, as well as some directly subordinate troops.

Liu Fengchi, commander of the South Manchurian Military Region, Bi Lige, political commissar, and Wu Xiuda, chief of staff, have a total strength of 330,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th armies, as well as some directly subordinate troops.

In addition, the Saibei Corps also has a direct subordinate corps, the commander is Xu Yinghui, the chief of staff, Wang Zhan, the political commissar, and the subordinate has two armies, two armored divisions and three artillery brigades, with a total strength of 200,000 troops.

In addition, the XPCC has four divisions and a large number of technical arms, with a total strength of 140,000 troops.

The only thing that has not changed is the Shandong Military Region, because Shandong's troops have not developed quickly under the suppression of Okamura Ningji, and the whole military region is now only 150,000 people, so Ma Zheng ordered them to keep their original establishment and reorganize after the recovery of Shandong.

The reorganization of the troops has been completed, but the shortage of weapons and equipment has been manifested, and according to the situation reported by the various military regions, there is now a shortage of weapons and equipment in all military regions.

It's not that the Saibei Corps can't get so many weapons and equipment, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese puppet army captured in this battle alone can fully equip one million people, but these weapons and equipment are all kinds of things.

The guns equipped by the Japanese army for the puppet army were very backward, and most of them were booty captured from the battlefield in Kannai, which were made in Zhongcheng and Hanyang, and Chinese, Russian, French, British, and American.

Therefore, the weapons and equipment of the troops have become a big problem, and the weapons and equipment captured should be temporarily emergency, but if they really go to the battlefield, it will be fatal, and some of the guns used in the troops before also need to be reloaded, so the weapon gap of the Saibei Corps is really not ordinarily large.

According to statistics, the Saibei Corps is still short of 550,000 long guns, 20,000 light machine guns, 8,000 heavy machine guns, and 40,000 pistols. In addition, the army still lacks 1.2 million sets of military uniforms and uniforms, and ammunition is also very short, and the shortage of materials is even greater.

The huge data makes Ma Zheng feel a lot of pressure, but Ma Zheng has no good way for the time being.

Although the Japanese army left behind many arsenals, there were 8 large arsenals alone, not to mention the production of rifles, and even aircraft accessories, tanks and artillery of various calibers could be produced at the best time, and more than half of the Japanese arms supply in the Kannai was produced by the Mukden Arsenal.

However, now when the Japanese retreated, the arsenal was not destroyed, and most of the equipment was buried or directly blown up.

It has been so long since the end of the war, and only four small arsenals have resumed production in the entire northeast region, and the daily output is not enough for an infantry battalion.

Therefore, Ma Zheng asked the Soviet Union and the United States for help, hoping to send some experts to help the Northern Saibei Corps repair the weapons production lines that had been damaged by the Japanese. At the same time, let Huaxia Company purchase a batch of arms in the United States.

Li Lanqing naturally knew Ma Zheng's difficulties, and immediately asked DuPont, the largest arms dealer in the United States, to order 500,000 long guns and a supporting ammunition production line in the name of Huaxia Company. At the same time, Li Lanqing also called Ma Zheng, saying that a batch of weapons and equipment in stock had already been boarded from the West Coast of the United States, and it would not take long to ship them to China.
