882 Deployment Adjustments

The Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty readjusted the global deployment of the Don Army in the 1808 year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe scale of the Tang Army basically did any planning and deployment in the past few years, and the timeliness was very short, because the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded rapidly, the population increased a lot, and the response to the situation was constantly changing.

Up to now, the threat to Datang in East Asia and North America has been infinitely close to zero, but these two regions are still the focus of Datang's troop deployment. In contrast, the European theater of operations is facing increasing operational pressure, and when it dared to fight in Istanbul before, Datang had to transfer troops from other theaters to support, which shows that the troops prepared by Datang in the European theater are insufficient.

Especially at a time when the phenomenon of military alliances in Europe is becoming more and more obvious, it is time for Datang to make appropriate changes to the global deployment of troops.

Including non-ethnic Chinese troops, the Datang Army now has a total of 96 army divisions and a number of independent formations and army aviation units, with a total strength of 1.92 million troops. Someone once asked whether it was necessary for Datang to retain such a large combat force, but according to Datang's territorial situation around the world and the various challenges it faced, it was actually a small army of 1.92 million.

Although such a large-scale army will inevitably consume huge personnel costs, the total economic volume of Datang is also huge, not only the financial support of the provinces directly under East Asia, North America and Oceania, but also the financial resources of the overseas territories have basically been unified, which also makes Datang's national defense and military expenditure still very abundant.

Size is not too much of an issue, so how to deploy the deployment is the main thing. The Tang Dynasty still plans to deploy as many as 600,000 troops in China and 400,000 troops in North America. This accounted for more than half of the strength of the Tang Army.

For example, on the Korean Peninsula, the Tang Army only plans to station one division and some scattered independent formations, Japan only has two divisions, and Guwei does not even have a regular Tang Army stationed, only one National Guard brigade.

The Datang National Guard is also formally established in this adjustment, and it is also subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense, belongs to the reserve force, and shoulders the task of national internal security. For some overseas consulates with little defensive pressure, Datang directly used the National Guard, which had a relatively high degree of combat readiness, to take on the task of garrisoning and garrisoning, and the People's Liberation Field Army could undertake heavier war tasks.

Datang deployed more than 900,000 troops in the Indian Ocean Theater and the European Theater. The main defensive area of the Indian Ocean Theater is in the North Indian Overseas Territory, and there are French and British colonies in the south, and the Europeans armed the locals, but the scale is not too large, and the Tang Dynasty has stationed 10 divisions in the Indian Overseas Territory, of which 5 divisions are Indian divisions, 3 divisions are Japanese divisions, and 2 divisions are native divisions.

The European theater has also become the focus of Datang's strengthening, and the number of division-level troops has directly increased to 22 this time, including 12 local divisions, 6 Japanese divisions, 3 European divisions, and 1 Latin division, with a total strength of more than 400,000, which is comparable to the garrison in North America. These units are stationed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia-Latvia, Dalmatia, Thrace and Carthage, and are very well equipped and combat-capable.

However, some people also pointed out that at the stage when the atmosphere of antagonism towards the Tang Dynasty in Europe is becoming more and more intense, the European division is composed of whites and seems to be less and less trustworthy. However, the Datang Ministry of Defense still believes that the ideological and political work of the Datang units is excellent, and the reliability of the European divisions is beyond doubt.

The Army deploys forces of this magnitude in Europe, as does the Air Force and Navy. In the Istanbul War, the Datang Air Force can be said to have played a more important role than the ground forces, especially the bombing of major Russian cities, which was a factor that completely shook the fighting spirit of the Russians, and also made European countries talk about the Datang Air Force for a while. The deployment of air forces in the European theater is biased towards fighter aviation units and bomber aviation units. The transport aircraft Datang can be deployed on the mainland and can be directly put into the war zone for use in wartime.

The Datang Air Force has directly deployed as many as 15 fighter aviation divisions throughout Europe, each with 72 fighters, and with backups, these 15 fighter aviation divisions have more than 1,000 fighters. The fighters deployed by Datang in Europe are still mainly piston fighters, with the models J-2 (La-11) and J-3 (P-51). The J-2 Datang has produced a total of more than 4,000 aircraft, and the J-3 Datang has also produced more than 2,000 aircraft, and these two fighters also constitute the main fighter force of the Datang Air Force.

As many as 8 bomber aviation divisions were also deployed in the European theater, and each bomber aviation division had a total of 54 bombers, which added up to more than 400 aircraft. The models are also dominated by front-line tactical bombers such as the H-3 (B-24) and H-4 (B-17). Like fighter jets, because it knows that these things are eliminated quite quickly, and new weapons are appearing all the time, Datang is reluctant to build too many things that will be outdated in the short term, H-3, H-4 and H-5 imitation B-29, respectively, produced more than 2,000, 3,000 and 1,000.

The main fighter and bomber models produced by the Datang Air Force are J-6 and H-6, H-7, J-6 and H-6, J-6 and H-6, and the existence of the same name in the other plane is not too different, and the performance is also very close. The H-7 is a four-engine large propeller long-range bomber with reference to the Tu-95, and its combat effectiveness and cost are better than the earlier generation of the H-5 (B-29).

For example, the Air Force's J-6 has been produced for several years, even if it is a limited production, the annual output is 500+, still for the sake of technological upgrading, the J-6 was directly discontinued after a 6-year production period, with a total output of 4500 aircraft. In fact, only about half of the aircraft were equipped with troops, and the remaining fighters were mothballed for later use.

Someone asked, why not equip all the troops directly? This is due to the reason why the Datang Air Force is reluctant to let the Europeans know the strength of their jet fighters in advance, and the J-2 and J-3 fighters produced by Datang are also very new, and it is not very scientific to retire them directly, so it is better to leave half of the supersonic fighters, and the pilots will be trained regularly, and then a large number of troops will be equipped when they are really needed. But in fact, the Datang Air Force can use the copycat La-11 and P-51 Mustang to beat the European Air Force, and the use of jet fighters may not be very good.

The Datang Air Force has acquired more than 120 jet tactical bombers, and the H-7 is also equipped with more than 110 units. (To be continued.) )
