Commands, just a short word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But at this moment, everyone held their breath, or even forgot to breathe.

There are challenges, there are expectations, and more importantly, there are expectations for the future.

Even at this moment, except for Wang Sirui, no one in this conference room thought that they would fail.

The generals are all high-spirited, which is indeed a good thing for Wang Sirui, at least he doesn't have to try his best to improve the morale of the soldiers.

But Wang Sirui was a little worried, he was worried that the troops would forget who they were because of the successive victories.

The success of the domestic battlefield, the victory in the war against the three divisions of the Japanese army last year, and the victory against the Eight-Nation Alliance three years ago. It seems that in the dictionary of the Han army, there is no such thing as failure at all.

Wang Sirui was secretly a little worried, and immediately decided that after announcing the order, he must beat these generals well, so as not to let them have no one in their eyes and think that they are the boss in the world.

"Command!"

"From now on, the military system of the Han army will be comprehensively reorganized, and the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth armies will be newly formed.

The First Army consisted of the Second, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Armies. The reserve units of the Second Army were reorganized into the 42nd and 43rd ...... of the Army Fifty-first Division.

Among them, the 2nd and 24th Divisions were used as the basis, and the 42nd, 47th, and 51st Divisions were supplemented to form the Second Army.

The Sixth Army was based on the 18th and 41st Divisions, supplemented by the 43rd, 46th, and 50th Divisions.

The Seventh Army was based on the 22nd Division, supplemented by the 44th, 45th, 48th, and 49th Divisions.

The Eighth Army was based on the 23rd Division, supplemented by the 52nd, 53rd, 60th, and 82nd Divisions.

The commander-in-chief of the group army was Wang Shuqi, and in addition, the 101st Division was also temporarily included in the first group army and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the group army headquarters. Wang Sirui turned out the formation plan prepared in advance and read it out directly.

The previous one is easy to say, it is directly that Shengjing's original troops have been supplemented and the reserves have been issued with official numbers, which means that they have changed from reserves to regular troops.

As for the divisions of the Eighth Army, except for the 23rd Division, which was the hometown of the Second Army, the latter divisions had never heard of it.

Of course, what they care about is not where these divisions will come from, they must be drawn from the reserves of other regions.

What they really cared about was that the reorganized First Army had four more divisions than before, and the 101st Division, which had never heard of before.

Moreover, this division is not under the direct jurisdiction of any army, but is under the direct jurisdiction of the group army headquarters.

Well, even if you don't take this division, which no one knows where, the framework of the First Army has already come out.

It has four armies under its command, with a total of 20 divisions, and this Nima alone has 360,000 people in a group army, and not counting the extra divisions.

It is conceivable that according to Wang Sirui's new reorganization of the army, the First Group Army alone will be enough to deal with the war in the northeast region.

Before the adaptation, no one thought that Wang Sirui would directly add nearly 100,000 troops to the northeast.

Subsequently, Wang Sirui announced the composition of the Second Group Army, which was formed on the basis of the Third Army, under the jurisdiction of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh armies, with a total of 15 divisions and more than 270,000 troops.

The two divisions that were originally transferred to the Fourth Army were pulled back to the Second Army, and at the same time, the Fourth Army also lost one division back. In addition, there is the 102nd Division, which is also mysteriously under the jurisdiction of the Army Group.

The commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army was Feng Guozhang, and fortunately, Wang Sirui transferred Feng Guozhang to the Second Group Army.

The Third Army was mainly based on the remaining part of the Fourth Army, and was equipped with a large number of reserve divisions, under which it had the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th armies, with a total of 25 divisions and 450,000 men.

The commander-in-chief of the group army is Wu Yang.

The Fourth Army, on the other hand, consisted of the 37th Division, the backbone of the Fourth Army, plus all of the Fifth Army, as well as a large number of reserve divisions.

It has the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd armies, with a total of 20 divisions and 360,000 people.

The commander-in-chief of the group army is Wu Zifu, but fortunately, after the transfer, except for the majority of the recruits under Wu Yang, otherwise, with Wu Zi's proud character, he will definitely be arrested and severely criticized by Wu Yang afterwards.

In other words, after this reorganization, except for the First Army, which was guarding Gyeonggi, there were no additional troops, and a large number of troops were added to the rest of the divisions.

Most of those reserve divisions have been training for about a year, and even a dozen divisions have been training for about two years, and less than ten divisions have just completed recruit training for less than half a year.

The remaining units that had just come out of the new barracks and had not yet formed their combat effectiveness were all assigned to the Third Army.

Coupled with the 100,000 people of the First Army and 1.54 million troops, this is all the strength of Wang Sirui on paper at present, if you count the troops that are still in the new barracks, it is just two million.

This is also an important reason why Wang Sirui dares to directly ignore the faces of foreigners, he has a million troops under his command, although there are still some deficiencies in attacking the city, but there is still no problem in defending the mainland.

"The tasks of the defense zone of the various armies are assigned below. The First Army was mainly in the northeast, and once the war began, before the winter began, it was necessary to eliminate all the invading enemies and completely occupy the four eastern provinces.

The Second Army was mainly based on the Great Wall, and there was no offensive mission, as long as it was enough to prevent the Mongols who might go south.

Once the war began, the Fourth Army had to occupy the Liangguang and Yunnan-Guizhou regions as quickly as possible, and if the British intervened directly, if necessary, they could directly capture Hong Kong.

The Third Army had the largest number of recruits and the heaviest tasks. Before the start of the war, the Third Army had to take over the defense of all areas in the hands of our army except Northeast China and Gyeonggi, and establish a reserve system to recruit 20 divisions of reserve recruits.

At the same time, the training of the troops should not be left behind, and the troops should be tempered as soon as possible so that the troops can form combat effectiveness so that they can support the battlefield at any time. Wang Sirui continued to order.

In fact, his purpose is very simple, he can't save Zhao because of the foreigners' siege of Wei, and the Han army won't care about that Zhao.

With the current strength of the Han army, it is fully capable of advancing at both ends, and besides, there are no difficult bones in the south, and even if there is, those old divisions can take it.

So, the First Army and the Fourth Army, one south and one north. The Second Army held the Great Wall to prevent the Mongols from advancing south. Of course, you can attack if necessary.

However, because there are too many new recruits, the Third Army has not yet formed combat effectiveness because the run-in of the troops is immature.

If such a unit is pulled to the front line, it will be completely killed, so the heavy task of defending the homeland and maintaining law and order will naturally be handed over to the 450,000 recruits of the Third Army.

Of course, if their training is good, and the battle on the front line is not going well, several old units of the Third Army will still have a chance to go to the front.

However, this possibility is not great, because the Third Army has taken over all the defense, and the other three group armies can draw almost all their forces to fight, so it can be said that in terms of troops, no matter which direction, the Han army has an absolute advantage.

Huaxia has this advantage, although the place is large, but the population is also large.

Coupled with the current living conditions, the military salary offered by the Han army is enough for them to train hard every day, and they can eat a few pieces of meat every once in a while, which also provides enough nutrition for the soldiers.

In the past, there were still pictures of selling children and daughters to survive in China, but now this scene has almost disappeared.

Instead, a child who meets the requirements is selected to serve as a soldier, and as long as one child is sacrificed, the whole family can survive well.

Besides, going to the army is not necessarily a sacrifice, these days, it is very popular to be a Han army.

If it weren't for the worry that the logistics funds would not be able to keep up, I am afraid that it would only take a year for Wang Sirui to pull out an army of five million.

And with more and more people becoming soldiers, there are more and more contact training, these soldiers also know why the Qing army was defeated through learning, and they train day and night, using the same training methods as the previous Han army, since the previous Han army can defeat the enemy, then why can't they?

As a result, under the word of mouth of these soldiers, there are countless people who choose to join the army.

, being a soldier has money to get, although the reserve only has a salary of two taels of silver per month, but this is still not low, where do they usually go to find a job that costs two taels of silver a month?

Moreover, they can still eat well here, although it is a little hard, but compared to training, the soldiers from peasant backgrounds can still endure it.

What makes them feel the most painful is that every night for an hour of cultural study time, looking at that word, one by one they have a headache, but there is no way, the above said, people who do not study, and whose cultural performance is not up to standard, will directly deduct the military salary of the month.

But fortunately, the requirements of the Han army for cultural achievements are not high, and each ordinary soldier only needs to know twenty words per month, and most of them are relatively simple and commonly used words, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can still be remembered.

There is food, drink, money, and literacy, where can you find such a good thing?

For such a distribution, except for Wu Yang, the other three people were still very satisfied.

Wu Yang, who was originally proud of the spring breeze, not only lost the most elite troops, but became a logistics steward. Although the Third Army has the largest number of troops, it is only the garrison of the city, and Wu Yang is depressed in his heart.

Although Wu Yang was depressed, some people were not depressed, but asked curiously: "Commander, where are the 01st and 102nd divisions?" Why didn't you hear it before? ā€

ps: Pre-war reorganization, this plot was originally not intended to be written, but after thinking about it carefully, let's write it, although the plot has a three-year development period, but I have hardly said much about it, I'm afraid that so many troops will suddenly appear behind it will scare everyone...... Also, ask for a recommendation ticket! (To be continued.) )
