Chapter 434: Central Plains Field Legion
"The problem is that now there are 3 group armies that have popped up all of a sudden, and Zhao Tieshu's side is just that, and now the strength of Wang Tiehan's 6th Group Army is even stronger than our 3rd Group Army. Wang Yishan couldn't help but say again.
"The Northwest General Staff is discussing the reorganization of several group armies that have been planned into the Central Plains Field Corps. Later, Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, Sun Dianying's 41st Army, and Pang Bingxun's 40th Army will all be successively reorganized into the three group armies of the Central Plains Field Army. Not surprisingly, in the future battle of the Central Plains, some more troops may be added, but the basic framework is like this. ”
Yang Hucheng, as one of the giants of the Northwest Army at this time, naturally knew more than Wang Yishan and Sun Weiru, and Yang Hucheng did not have much to hide from these two henchmen, Wang Tiehan's 6th Group Army had arrived in Tongguan at this time, and it was only a matter of time before Sun Weiru and others knew.
"I heard that Nanjing intends to give the 29th Army a group army, Song Zheyuan, can they be willing to accept the jurisdiction of our northwest?"
Although Jiang Li was a little dissatisfied, but after being incorporated into the Northwest Group, the Shaanxi army did get a lot of benefits, although due to the wartime soldiers' salaries have not risen for the time being, but compared with before, with Feng Yuxiang's old Northwest Army, with the Hunan Army. The soldiers of the station all relied on a pair of big feet to hurry.
At this time, their group army was not only equipped with a large number of pack horses, towing horses, but also transport trucks, and this time in addition to a car transport brigade for Wang Tiehan's group army, they also added a baggage transport brigade to the 3rd group army. Although it is said that with the capacity of the group army at this time, there is also Henan. Traffic conditions in Hebei. Out of the railroad. The soldiers still rushed to the battlefield mainly by a pair of footboards, but compared with the previous food, weapons, ammunition, and medicine, which basically relied on a flat pole and two baskets of soldiers, when the war was fierce, the more such military supplies were consumed.
In particular, in the confrontation with the Japanese army, the army of the Republic of China usually had to be several times the strength of the Japanese army to withstand the blow of the Japanese army. This is a more disadvantageous side for the national * army, which has more backward transportation conditions and worse transportation capacity. Usually one-third of the soldiers are busy with these chores, and the soldiers who are engaged in these chores carry a load of ten miles and dozens of miles, how can they have the strength to go to the battlefield?
The Kuomintang army needs hundreds of thousands of troops to rely on their positions to barely resist the tens of thousands, more than 100,000 people of the Japanese army. It is good that the replenishment of supplies is timely, but when the replenishment is not timely, a considerable number of soldiers can only eat half full, and this will continue for a long time. So much so that the soldiers of the national army who do not get enough food are seriously deficient in nutrition, and most of them are like ribs. In terms of physical fitness and physical strength, it has lagged behind the Japanese army.
The huge number of troops is good to win the battle, but under the blows of the Japanese planes and artillery, the air and ground are repeatedly defeated, that is, the Central Army, and there is not much discipline for retreating after the defeat, and those Ravsodin's miscellaneous cards are worse. And after these armies have coerced a considerable number of lost souls and fallen people, even the army has no rules, can they still expect these people to retreat in an orderly manner? A rout is enough to brew into an even bigger rout.
In the past, Yang Hucheng had always marched and fought like other powerful factions in the Republic of China, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but before and after becoming the commander of this group army, he also got some information about the modern war in the northwest. Naturally, the efforts of the northwest in logistics are very recognized.
The combat strength of a unit like the Northwest Army is built up with reliable and huge logistics. Soldiers can deal with the war more professionally, although it is impossible for the soldiers to sit in cars with the transportation capacity of the northwest, but a large number of mules and horses, and a considerable number of cars have been able to transport the food and ammunition to the battlefield at a relatively fast speed, and even in the case of a very urgent local war, these transport trucks are used to drop more than a division of troops to the established combat site at the fastest speed.
It is difficult for both Wang Yishan and Yang Hucheng to imagine how a terrible dilemma a unit like the Northwest Army, which is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and field artillery, once it loses enough ammunition supply. However, Yili has enough supplements, and such an army is a war machine.
"Unwilling to accept integration? Do you want to go south to accept the command of Nanjing? Although the northwest is a little overbearing, it is not too much to do things, Pang Bingxun is only a dissatisfied division in his hands, and it is also an army, no matter how big the number is, it is useless, and his 40th Army can't do a main regiment of the Northwest Army. On Song Zheyuan's side, an army surrounded a wing of the Japanese army for a few days, if it weren't for the Northwest Army to replenish some artillery and give them air support, would they be able to eat the Mutian wing? A group army has to look like a group army, and a random army can be expanded into a group army, and that is not completely chaotic. Sun Weiru sneered. He is also the commander of the Eighth Forbidden Army now, and he is recognized by the Northwest Army, so he naturally has to maintain the majesty of the army commander.
"That's the reason, the group army is not something that can be called casually, following the Northwest Army, it will not be beaten by the Japanese army on the battlefield, with the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in North China, and the troops will be divided into several ways, this battle has to be fought, Nanjing in Songhu is now successively investing hundreds of thousands of people, a pot of good rice boiled into raw rice. Pang Bingxun and Shang Zhen are smart people, and they will not choose to suffer with Nanjing when they have suffered defeats one after another in Nanjing. Even if the establishment is a little smaller, the strength of the Northwest Army is here after all. ”
"Commander, can we really resist the North China Front in Henan?" Wang Yishan is a little different from Sun Weiru, a ruthless man, and he is a little afraid in the face of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops coming in.
"It should be able to stop it, but I have to ask the commander specifically, and the commander knows a lot more than me." Sun Weiru also looked at Yang Hucheng, for this national war, although everyone united in the war of resistance, there are not many people who have the bottom in their hearts.
"The Central Plains Field Corps, the 18th Group Army that entered Shanxi, and the 5th Group Army that entered Suiyuan, although the Northwest Army took out most of the cards of heavy artillery and mechanized brigades, but really counted, among the 5 group armies, there are only 11 infantry divisions directly taken out in the northwest, and there are 5 infantry divisions in northern Sichuan alone, and Jiang Li has at least a dozen infantry divisions in his hands that have not been used. Yang Hucheng put the towel back and said.
"What? The Northwest Army still has at least a dozen divisions of hole cards, my mother, this Jiang Li's water is really not ordinarily deep. Fortunately, we didn't have anything to do with Jiang Li at the beginning. Damn, what an independent heavy artillery regiment, an artillery brigade of the Northeast Army really fought, and it opened up a distance, but it couldn't do the independent heavy artillery regiment of the Northwest Army.
