Because of the industrial base of Rehe, so it is determined that Rehe's military industry can not have much output, such as medium-sized tanks, etc., although Rehe has obtained a large number of metallurgical talents from Europe, and from the United States and the Soviet Union to obtain metallurgical equipment and precision machine tools, but the scale of Baotou steel mill is limited after all, it can be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu's definition of Rehe's military industry is to take a high-precision route, because during World War II, many weapons were fed back through actual combat, and more were targeted at the improvement and strengthening of the weapons of the warring enemy.

It can be said that the development of weapons is inseparable from the theoretical ideas of the times of war, Zhang Xuewu is familiar with the main line of the development of weapons in later generations, and understands the advantages and disadvantages of some famous equipment, so he can directly launch a design plan without conducting large-scale actual combat tests, which is something that other countries dare not follow, soldiers and national affairs, the rise and fall of the nation, weapons are the main source of combat effectiveness of the armed forces, so no one dares to have the slightest carelessness about the problems related to weapons. A new weapon, while not necessarily able to reverse the outcome of a war, can affect the course of a campaign, and an important battle can determine the strategic balance between the two belligerents.

Back in the underground central command center in Baotou, Zhang Xuewu looked around at the Rehe faction generals present, Hao Wenbin, Chen Yuxing, Li Xinkai, Li Anguo, Wang Chuang, Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, Hu Zhenglong, Gao Zhihang, Guo Xiangfei, Zhanyang, Tang Ziqiang, Zhang Tianpeng, Huang Tao, Ye Yunfei, Zhang Lingfu and others all attended the meeting of senior officers of the Rehe Legion.

Zhang Xuewu opened a document printed with the words top secret and said: "The shame of Nanjing is not only the shame of me Zhang Xuewu alone, but the shame of the entire Chinese [***] team, what do the European and American powers see?" Now I am negotiating with the delegation of the Nationalist Political Axe in Shanghai, and I have repeatedly revised the text of the motion, the purpose of which is to delay time, and I have proposed to give him three months to prepare for the withdrawal of troops, and we will provide supplies and supplies, and I have also asked to send troops from Central China, which is strategically important near Xuzhou, and now I am still transporting large quantities of materials and ammunition through Shanghai. The purpose of the Nine Nations Convention will jointly send more than 20,000 troops to undertake the defense and surveillance of the demilitarized zone between Shanghai and Nanjing, which is the biggest insult to the [***] people among us, Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China, and in addition to the Chinese armed forces, his own marines and destroyers can stay in Nanjing under the pretext of adding water and coal, while the marines of the Yue army can be openly stationed in Shanghai. What we have to do now is to strike a hard blow to myself! We love peace, but we are not afraid of war! We have blood to spill and life to burn! But not a single inch of China's land has the right to give up. ”

Zhang Xuewu waved the document with his hand and said: "According to the news from the Wuhan camp, Chairman Jiang of the Supreme Military Commission is preparing to set Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu as the 10th Theater of Operations, and I am the commander of the Lieutenant General of the 10th Theater of Operations. The rest of the units have all been incorporated into the sequence of the newly organized combat units of the Youth Army, and Lieutenant General Hao Wenbin, deputy commander of the theater, will read out the composition and personnel appointments of the units of the 10 th theater. ”

Zhang Xuewu's words made everyone below prick up their ears almost at the same time, for fear of missing a word, you must know that the step of upgrading from the corps to the war zone is really not small, but the big guy's heart is also mirror-like, because the national political axe always reaches out to the Rehe side, and the national political axe can only give a bunch of letters of appointment, just like the establishment of the honorary first division given by the Ministry of Military Affairs, only the establishment is there, and one person, one gun and one bullet are not allocated. And the establishment of this empty frame division was fought by tens of thousands of the most elite officers and soldiers of the Rehe Army with their lives and blood in Nanjing.

Hao Wenbin took a deep breath and said: "Major General Chen Yuxing was transferred to the post of director of the Tenth Theater Armored Training Base, Major General Li Xinkai was appointed Chief of Staff of the Tenth Theater, Major General Huang Tao was appointed General Staff Officer of the Tenth Theater, Major General Xu Guohui was appointed commander of the Huben Division, Major General Guo Xiangfei was appointed commander of the Honorary First Division, Lieutenant General Wang Chuang was appointed commander of the First Army of the New Youth Army and commander of the First Division, Major General Zhao Xinyu was appointed commander of the Second Division of the New First Army of the Youth Army, and Major General Hu Zhenglong was appointed commander of the Third Division of the New First Army of the Youth Army. Lieutenant General Zhanyang was appointed commander of the new Second Army of the Youth Army and commander of the Fourth Division, Major General Zhang Lingfu was appointed commander of the Fifth Division of the New Second Army of the Youth Army, Major General Ye Yunfei was appointed commander of the Sixth Division of the New Youth Army, Major General Tang Ziqiang was appointed commander of the First Armored Division of the Youth Army, Major General Li Anguo was appointed commander of the Second Armored Division of the Youth Army, and Major General Zhang Tianpeng was appointed commander of the Tenth Theater Artillery. Major General Gao Zhihang served as the director of the Air Force of the 10th Theater. ”

Hao Wenbin looked around at the excited crowd and closed the document and said solemnly: "The above units have been supplemented and expanded on the basis of the original units of each department, and now I would like to ask Chief of Staff Li Xinkai to read out the establishment of each department. ”

Li Xinkai walked to the front of the stage with a little excitement and took the file handed over by Hao Wenbin, took a deep breath and said: "In order to suit the characteristics of the weapons application of the troops of the 10th Theater and ensure the output of firepower and the principle of concentrated use of superior forces, the establishment of the Huben Division and the 1st Honor Division is five brigades, of which three brigades are infantry brigades, the brigade has jurisdiction over two infantry regiments of the A type, and a mountain artillery battalion, and the first brigade is a mechanized brigade, equipped with a tank regiment and an armored infantry regiment, and is equipped with a field artillery brigade, equipped with 150 mm field heavy howitzers, There is one battalion of 105-mm howitzers and one battalion of 75-mm mountain artillery, and the division has an automobile regiment, an engineering regiment, an antiaircraft artillery battalion, an armored reconnaissance battalion, a chemical defense battalion, a machine repair battalion, and a field hospital, and the division has 42,000 officers and men. ”

As soon as Li Xinkai's voice fell, everyone present looked at Xu Guohui and Guo Xiangfei with envy. The hardcore subordinates who followed Zhang Xuewu to fight hard in the eighteenth meeting, and made great contributions during the period of Chengde's death, compared to the data, the entire tenth war zone is probably only Wang Chuang, Li Xinkai, Zhao Xinyu and a few other people, so Xu Guohui's appointment as the division commander of the Tiger Ben Division is also expected.

And Guo Xiangfei is the newly released hero in the defense of Nanjing, a family of four heroes in the defense of the Rehe for the country martyred, his mother received four death notices in one day, in order to defend Nanjing in the fifth brigade of the annihilated infantry, Zhang Xuewu promoted Guo Xiangfei from major all the way to the major general, and handed over the important task of forming the honorary first division of the national recovery capital to Guo Xiangfei, many people can't say anything else on this issue, the old Guo family can be said to have shed enough blood for the hot river!

However, there is also a dark horse that fights out of the encirclement, because I don't know if it was the negligence of the Supreme Military Council or the negligence of the Ministry of Military Affairs? I don't know why Zhang Xuewu is still only a lieutenant general? Or is it the Jiang Gong in Nanjing for the purpose of protecting and loving Zhang Xuewu? Afraid of the tragic consequences of Mu Xiu's destruction by the forest wind? All in all, Zhang Xuewu is a lieutenant general and commander of the theater, but there are more than three lieutenant generals among his subordinates, among which Hao Wenbin, deputy commander of the theater, has the rank of lieutenant general, Wang Chuang, commander of the First Army of the Youth Army and commander of the First Division, is a lieutenant general, and Zhanyang, commander of the Second Army of the Youth Army and commander of the Fourth Division, is a lieutenant general.

Li Xinkai looked around and coughed left and right and continued: "Each division of the Youth Army is composed of four brigades, of which three brigades are infantry brigades, one brigade is a mechanized brigade, the tank regiment and armored infantry regiment under its jurisdiction, the artillery regiment under the division is equipped with a 105-mm howitzer battalion and two 75-mm mountain artillery battalions, and the division directly belongs to the engineer battalion, automobile battalion, machine repair battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, armored reconnaissance battalion, cavalry battalion, and anti-chemical battalion, with more than 26,000 people in the division. ”

Zhang Xuewu's reorganization and formulation of the various departments of Rehe is actually clear at a glance, and its tactical characteristics correspond to the divisions and regiments of the army, Zhang Xuewu used the large number of artillery purchased from Europe and the Soviet aid and the artillery produced by Baotou to carry out a comprehensive installation, so that the output of his own artillery is guaranteed to exceed more than seven times that of the field division of the first type of the army. The large number of ammunition production lines and the large amount of raw materials purchased from or through the Soviet Union allowed Zhang Xuewu to hoard an astonishing amount of ammunition of various calibers.

It can be said that in the early days of the war, the divisions, brigades, and wings of the Chinese army were very unsuitable for the central [***] team.

Many people are always accustomed to referring to the divisions of the army as divisions, so there are always several divisions or even two or three armies in the [***] side that are defeated by a division of the army, and Zhang Xuewu clearly said that the strength of his A field division can reach more than 24,000 people, and if it is strengthened before the war, it will reach more than 28,000 people.
