[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 411: Reorganized Division (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Yun Jian immediately got up, took a document and said in a deep voice: "Now I will read out the plan for the reorganization of the troops of the military region headquarters: After the study and decision of the military region headquarters, the number of the army level will be abolished, and the largest combat unit under the military region will be a division in the future. That is, from now on, Commander Ma Zheng will no longer concurrently serve as the commander of the 63rd Army, and I myself will no longer serve as the political commissar of the 63rd Army, and the number of the 63rd Army will be returned to Yan'an, including the Duqi Division and the 93rd Division under the jurisdiction of the 63rd Army. ”

"With regard to the existing units of the military region, the General Headquarters has decided to set up integrated divisions, and the so-called integrated divisions are military formations with strategic attack capabilities, which is a concept put forward by the commander. The specific method is to use the existing divisions and brigades as the backbone, and on the basis of replenishing new troops and artillery, a brand-new strategic group with strategic deterrence and strike capability will be formed. The establishment of an integrated division is the same as that of an ordinary division, and it is composed of brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and other grass-roots units, but the difference is that an integrated division will have two infantry brigades under the three-regiment system under its jurisdiction, and at the same time, it will also be equipped with one regiment each for artillery, cavalry, engineers, guards, and baggage troops. The total strength of the division has been expanded from 15,000 to more than 23,000. ”

"Of particular importance is artillery, the original artillery regiment of our military region was a mixed artillery regiment with only one mountain artillery battalion plus a machine gun battalion and an infantry battalion, and the artillery support capability was very weak. In the event of a real big war, it is often necessary to concentrate all the artillery of the whole division for use. However, there is no need to do this now, and the artillery regiment of the reorganized division will have one battalion each of mountain artillery, field artillery, and rocket artillery, as well as a guard battalion and a baggage battalion, and its combat capability will be greatly enhanced. ”

Before Yun Jian's words fell, the entire conference room resounded with a buzzing discussion, this reorganization plan was too amazing. Is this still an infantry division, an infantry division of more than 23,000 people? This is clearly a Type B Army, even more powerful than a Type B Army of the Nationalist Government.

Everyone is not stupid, as a commander at the division and brigade level of the military region, this vision is still there. Although the strength of the integrated division of the Suicha Military Region is about the same as that of a Type B army of the Nationalist Government, compared with the Type B Army of the Nationalist Government, this kind of integrated division has been reduced by one level of administrative units, and this will certainly greatly strengthen the command capability of the division headquarters over the troops, and the combat capability will be greatly enhanced.

In addition, such reorganized divisions have strengthened the strength of artillery and increased baggage troops to ensure logistical supplies, so that the troops' comprehensive combat capability will be greatly enhanced. As Yun Jian just introduced, it has a powerful strategic strike and deterrence capability.

Yun Jian continued: "Everyone be quiet first, and wait for everyone to have a chance to express their opinions. After the study and decision of the military region headquarters, the former Seventh Independent Division was used as the backbone to form a reorganized first division, with Huang Sicheng as the division commander, He Xiulin as the political commissar, and Wu Xiuda as the chief of staff. The reorganized 1st Division has two infantry brigades, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade, with Bi Lige, the former commander of the 12th Independent Brigade, serving as the commander of the 1st Brigade, and Xu Weiguo, political commissar of the 12th Independent Brigade, serving as the commander of the 2nd Brigade. ”

"The original 93rd Division was used as the backbone to form the Second Division, with Yang Chengwu as the division commander, Lu Ming as the political commissar, and Wang Tao as the chief of staff. The Second Division was under the jurisdiction of two infantry brigades, the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade, with Hu Tianchang, former political commissar of the 275th Brigade, serving as the commander of the Third Brigade, and the commander of the Fourth Brigade being transferred from Li Jiangtao, commander of the First Infantry Regiment of the Cavalry Group. ”

"The newly formed Eighth Independent Division was used as the backbone to form the Third Division, with Liu Fengchi, the former commander of the Eighth Independent Division, as the commander, Tie Xinlan, as the political commissar, and Zhu Changgui, the former commander of the First Brigade of the New Formation, as the chief of staff. The reorganized Third Division has two infantry brigades, the Fifth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade, with Li Debiao, the former head of the Weichang Independent Development Detachment, serving as the commander of the Fifth Brigade, and Niu Dazhuang, the head of the Karaqin Banner Independent Development Detachment, serving as the commander of the Sixth Brigade. ”

Chen Xudong, the former political commissar of the 93rd Division, served as the commander of the Fourth Division, Xing Chao, the former commander of the Independent Brigade, served as the political commissar, and Wang Tao, the former commander of the 275th Brigade, served as the chief of staff. The commanders of the two brigades under the jurisdiction of the reorganized Fourth Division were respectively Wenhua Wu, deputy head of the Luanping Independent Development Detachment, and Wu Bing, commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the former Cavalry Group. ”

Huang Bingyan, the former political commissar of the Seventh Independent Division, served as the commander of the Fifth Division, Xu Hu, the former commander of the Guard Brigade, served as the political commissar, and Xue Zhiqiang, the former acting political commissar of the Guard Brigade, served as the chief of staff. The commanders of the Ninth Brigade and the Tenth Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Division were respectively Xie Wensheng and Jiang Hao. ”

"The cavalry division was formed with the cavalry group directly under the military region as the backbone, with Ma Desheng, the former commander of the cavalry group, as the commander of the division, and Zhou Lieyang, the former cavalry group, as the political commissar. The cavalry division has the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades and the 11th Infantry Brigade, and the brigade commanders are Zhou Hai, the former commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, Zheng Zeshi, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, and Ao Muge, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. The military and political chiefs of the regiments directly under the above divisions shall be studied by the division headquarters and reported to the headquarters of the military region for approval! ”

"The original special operations brigade has been expanded from four squadrons to six squadrons of 1,500 people, and there is still Comrade Tie Niu as the captain and Comrade Xu Haifeng as the political commissar!"

Then Yun Jian continued: "The personnel of the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, and engineer brigade of the former military region will remain unchanged, and the logistics support brigade directly under the military region will be formed with the transportation brigade of the former military region as the backbone, and Hu Zhiqiang, the former captain of the transportation brigade, will serve as the commander of the logistics support brigade. In addition, an assault brigade was formed with the fire support regiment and armored regiment of the military region as the backbone, and the assault brigade had an artillery regiment, an armored regiment, and a mechanized infantry regiment under its jurisdiction. ”

"In addition, in order to strengthen the local garrison forces in all counties and districts, the military region headquarters has decided to set up garrison regiments in the 46 banner counties under the jurisdiction of the military region.

After Yun Jian finished speaking, he sat down, and then Ma Zheng got up and said: "Comrades, the reorganization plan of the military region is roughly like this, what are your opinions?" ”

After listening to Ma Zheng's words, knowing that the commander let them speak freely, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly rose. It is no wonder that these officers are happy, the unit has been expanded from the original three divisions to six divisions at once, and the units directly under the military region have also been expanded from regiments to brigades, and so many division and brigade commanders have been added at once, and almost all of these division and brigade commanders have been promoted by officers of various divisions and brigades.

Yang Chengwu said with a little worry: "Commander, we used to only have the strength of three divisions, and all the infantry regiments added up to more than 30, but now it has been expanded to 72 regiments in six divisions at once, if you add those newly formed garrison regiments, the establishment at the regimental level will reach nearly 120 regiments, in terms of total strength, I am afraid it is equivalent to the sum of all divisions and brigades of the Eighth Route Army, is this a bit fast?" ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "The pace of army expansion is indeed a bit big, but this is also forced by the situation. If we were still the same as the previous Suicha anti-Japanese detachment behind enemy lines, it would be nothing, after all, at that time, we had not yet entered the sight of the Japanese puppet army, and the territory was pitiful, only the mountains of Yama Mountain, Sumu Mountain and Daqing Mountain, and the attack range was only Fengzhen, Xinghe and Tianzhen and other counties, and the little devils would not take our small detachment in their eyes. ”

"But now it's different, after so many large-scale battles, we have been regarded as a thorn in the side by the little devils, and listed as the first target to be eradicated in northern China. With the character of a little devil who will repay his eyes, the next attack will definitely be earth-shattering, and the next time we face is hundreds of thousands of troops of several field divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, can we do it without expanding the army? ”

Then, Ma Zheng continued: "As for the establishment of 120 regiments you just mentioned, it is only a long-term plan, if it is calculated according to a regiment of 2,500 people in our army, 120 regiments is equivalent to 300,000 people, and our army is not able to feed so many troops now, so for the time being, we will first form a regular army, that is, 72 regiments, with a total strength of about 160,000 people, and at present, the existing strength of our army has reached this scale, and what we have done is just to reorganize it. Therefore, it is not an expansion, and it will have little impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops! (To be continued.) )
