The artillery division is an independent level of troops, subordinate to the artillery headquarters, the establishment of the artillery division of the whole army is exactly the same, under three brigades, two artillery brigades, one infantry brigade, two artillery regiments, three battalions, four companies per artillery brigade, that is, an artillery division has a total of 48 artillery companies, each company is equipped with 16 artillery pieces, and the whole division has a total of 768 artillery pieces. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Don't look at the number of artillery, there are quite a lot, but in fact, the number of artillery that really matches the identity of an artillery division is not much.

The artillery of the division of 100 mm caliber or more was equipped with only one regiment, and the remaining three regiments were equipped with all 75 mm caliber infantry guns, mountain artillery, and field artillery.

And the regiment that is armed with artillery of more than 100 mm caliber, one of the battalions is armed with ordinary artillery of 100 mm caliber, one battalion of ordinary artillery of 105 mm caliber, and ordinary artillery of 120 mm caliber.

However, according to the design, artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm can fire grenades, but because the current research and development process of grenades is not particularly satisfactory, and the effect of grenades is still far from the ideal effect, so they are not equipped with grenades, but ordinary shells.

After several years of development, subject to the limitations of industrial capacity, the pace of development of artillery units is not fast, and even only slightly faster than that of armored divisions.

So far, there are six artillery divisions in the whole army, a total of 4,608 guns, but 3,456 of them are 75 mm caliber guns, although after recent years of development, the industrial capacity has increased a lot, but so far, the entire empire has concentrated all its energy, and can only achieve the speed of replacing equipment for a battalion every month.

The six artillery divisions have a total of 72 battalions, excluding the six regiments already equipped with large-caliber artillery, 18 battalions, and 54 battalions are waiting to be replaced.

At the current rate, it will take at least four and a half years to replace all these six divisions with large-caliber artillery, which is not fast at all, and even very slow, slow like a snail.

But no one can do anything, the industrial capacity is there, a few years ago, they couldn't produce a decent artillery, and now they can still produce some. Perhaps, the only thing that can be counted on is to hope that those scientific researchers can solve some technical difficulties in the artillery production line and study their own artillery production line and qualified artillery production line as soon as possible.

As long as they master this technology, then the empire will be able to replace all its troops with large-caliber artillery in the next two years, and even develop more artillery units.

At present, there are only two artillery divisions under the entire First Group Army, which still squeezes the quota of the Third Group Army, and the first, second, and fourth group armies occupy the quota of two divisions in each group army.

And the Third Army had a hard time, who made them tasked with guarding the interior and training new soldiers? The different tasks of the troops also lead to the fact that national resources will inevitably be tilted towards those troops with combat missions.

Wang Shuqi frowned tightly, since the first telegram reported by the 103rd Division, Wang Shuqi realized that the problem might be more serious than they expected.

In the calculations of the army group headquarters, it is very likely that the Russian army will increase its troops in the border areas, but no one knows how many troops will be added. But one thing is certain, they will not increase their forces too much, and the most likely thing is that the Russian army will be stationed in Siberia, and once the war in the east starts, a large number of Russian troops will go directly to the eastern battlefield through the Trans-Siberian Railway.

And the Russians hoarded troops in Siberia, which also had many advantages, not only to confuse the Chinese Empire, because Siberia was in the central region of Russia, too far away from the Chinese Empire, and the intelligence and reconnaissance forces of the Chinese Empire could not get there at all.

On the other hand, there is a large number of inhabitants in the Siberian region, there is no shortage of food there, and if the troops are stationed there, the concealment of the Russian army can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

But according to the current intelligence summary, the situation is completely different from what they thought, the 103rd Division was first attacking the small town of Abagaitui, and accidentally found the traces of a Russian infantry division, although the operation went smoothly, even Wang Shuqi could not believe the results.

But then, the 103rd Division found more Russian troops, and according to the number of Russian artillery, it was calculated that there should be three units of the backbone army there.

If Li Yunchang's guess is correct, then in the short term, the strength of the 103rd Division will not occupy any advantage.

Although there were eight infantry divisions behind them as support, the eight infantry divisions were only 144,000 people, plus the 27,000 people of the 103rd Division, in fact, it was only 171,000 people, and if you put aside the logistics and other troops, the actual troops participating in the battle were only about 130,000.

And will the Russian army have more troops in the rear? They can't be sure of this, but at least they are certain that in the short term, the Chinese Empire will not be able to send more troops to support it.

The nearest support is expected to take another month to be able to support, but after a month, although the troops will come up, the logistics will overwhelm the entire battle plan.

The war is indeed not as simple as imagined, although they have made no less than three sets of backup plans before the war, but at present, just three days after the outbreak of the war, their three sets of backup plans have all been eliminated, and the situation on the battlefield is developing too fast, and it is too late for them to make adjustments.

"Dispatch three trains and send the 2nd Artillery Division over at once!" Immediately after, Wang Shuqi immediately ordered, although it was a bit unexpected to have a decisive battle so soon, but if a decisive battle could really be launched, then it would still be good for them.

Once they win, they will have at least two months to adjust, and two months will be enough for them to get ready for everything.

Wang Shuqi continued to ask, "Where is the Sixth Army?" ”

"Commander, the Eighteenth Division is waiting for the train in Harbin, as long as the train arrives, they can support it at any time. The 41st Division arrived in Manchuria at 3 o'clock this morning, and it is estimated that it will be able to meet with the main force of the 103rd Division tomorrow at the latest. The 43rd Division was a little closer, so we didn't arrange a train and ordered them to go on foot, which was expected to arrive in three days. The 46th and 50th Divisions are expected to arrive in Harbin within a week and enter the battlefield within 10 days, and the three reserve divisions are expected to arrive at the battlefield within a month. The staff officer reported.

Dispatching troops is not just a matter of talking, and in which decisive battle in history did not use the tactics of adding fuel? And whoever has the more elite troops, and the troops who invest first, can carry them longer and kill more enemies, then the hope of victory is greater.

As early as half a month ago, they received an order, but the reserve force that came to take over the defense area was a little slower, and after they completed their tasks, they went north without stopping.

In some places, there are trains, and you can take the train directly to the war zone, but in most places there are no trains, and they can only rely on walking to march slowly, so being able to put eight divisions on the battlefield in a month is actually very good.

Of course, one thing to note is that the eight divisions here are put on the battlefield, that is, the real eight divisions, not as in later generations, when it is said that one division has arrived on the battlefield, but in fact it is only a battalion, or a company, or even a platoon of this division that arrives on the battlefield.

And their main force is even thousands of miles away, and the commanders mistakenly think that the entire army has arrived, so they issue tasks according to the size of a division, but the most that performs the task is only one battalion, how can this battle be won?

Who is to blame? Blame the troops? In fact, it is not to blame the troops at all, it is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the battlefield, there are no trains, no trucks, just rely on their feet, and they have to carry a lot of supplies, so that people can arrive in a month, or even twenty days, even if they are immortals, he will not be able to arrive.

This time, these eight divisions were all lightly armed, and they hardly had to carry too many supplies, because as early as a year ago, the First Army began to secretly hoard supplies along the way. When these troops are about to arrive on the battlefield, they can go to those secret supply points for a replenishment, and after a year of operation, at least for the time being, they are not short of supplies.

However, more supplies are still to come, and once the Second Army also comes, then this amount of supplies will not be enough, and if the war is tighter, the supplies will be enough for three months at most.

And for this situation, Wang Shuqi has no way, as a commander, he has already done everything he can do, what else can be done?

"Tell Cao Kun and let him control the rhythm according to the actual situation, this battle can be beaten, if you can't fight, you can think of other ways, you must not fight hard, now we can't afford to fight." Wang Shuqi turned around and commanded.

Cao Kun, the former commander-in-chief of the Korean Army, was also transferred back this time and was appointed by Wang Shuqi as the commander of the Western Front, responsible for controlling the troops of the 103rd Armored Division, the 101st Armored Division, the Sixth Army and three reserve divisions, totaling more than 200,000 troops.

And Wang Shuqi is the commander-in-chief of the entire war against Russia, responsible for coordinating the work of the entire battlefield, and on the surface, Wang Shuqi's task is the easiest, and he only needs to formulate a hard plan, for example, how many tasks the troops have to complete in a month, how many tasks have to be completed in half a year, and then this task will be delegated to each unit, and then they themselves will be responsible for formulating specific plans, and logistics and other things will be coordinated by Wang Shuqi.

If there are not enough troops on either side, it is up to Wang Shuqi to decide which troops to send to support, etc., to put it bluntly, the commander-in-chief is actually in charge of logistics, and the two commanders-in-chief who really play a decisive role are the two commanders in front.
