readx; For this way of fighting in large corps, there are advantages and fatal weaknesses, which have been fully reflected in Germany in real history. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason for the defeat of the German army, in addition to the mustache's penchant for changing orders at the moment, is another very important reason, that is, once the headquarters of the army group is surrounded or knocked out, then the army group may be finished.

The defeat of the Battle of Stalingrad was precisely this, and the capture of Field Marshal Paulus, the commander of the Sixth Army Group, led to the passivity of the entire Sixth Army Group, which led to the retreat of the other Army Groups that cooperated with it, and it can be said that a catastrophe began here.

And this military reform, Su Dao can be said to have made a lot of effort, not only to bias the focus of the future army to the group army, but also to have enough control over the following armies, although on the surface it seems that there will be a phenomenon of overlapping commands, but Su Dao has a clear definition of this overlapping command.

In other words, the group army is responsible for the task deployment of all the armies in the entire organization, but the orders issued by the central authorities must also be conveyed word for word to the military departments of the various armies below to ensure that the armies can have a clear insight into the operational intentions of the central authorities.

At the same time, in order to ensure to the greatest extent possible that after the headquarters is destroyed, there will be no confusion in the troops, and in addition to the group army headquarters, a second command has also been set up in one of the armies within the organization, and once the group army headquarters is defeated, the second command will immediately take over the command of the group army headquarters to conduct operations.

At that time, whether it is a battle or a retreat, the Second Command will carry out unified command, that is, two sets of teams in one system, and before each operation, it is necessary to ensure that the personnel of these two sets of teams are complete, so that even if the headquarters is terminated, the chaos of the troops will only be one or two hours, or less.

Of course, the Second Command will always be a reserve, and it is not very clear whether it will be used, but everything is precautionary, and the example of the Sixth Army Group is dangling in front of Su Dao's eyes, although this is just an example, Su Dao does not dare to be sloppy at all.

He must take precautions against all possible scenarios to avoid the escalation of the situation and the actual blow to the troops.

But then again, according to Su Dao's military reform plan, the country's military strength can only be reorganized into five to seven group armies, which is not like the German system, which can be large or small, ranging from 200,000 to 700,000, and be changed according to the actual situation.

Although this will cause a waste of troops in some cases, after thinking about it, Su Dao still decided to do this, and his battlefield in the future will be Europe and the Americas, which of these places is not a place where at least three million troops need to be invested?

And in some other small places, it is completely possible to send a group army over and then take charge of the war in several countries, not afraid of a large number of troops, but afraid that there is nowhere to fight.

A week later, in the conference room of Tran Island, Su Dao sat alone at the top, and there was a group of soldiers sitting below, the lowest rank of these people was also a lieutenant general, and the highest was Chen Yuhai and others, generals.

At present, although there is already a marshal rank in the Chinese Empire, but no one has won this honor, this is the military rank that Su Dao intends to award in the future, the marshal is no better than other generals or something, once these military ranks appear, they will be the pillars of the country.

For these soldiers who have not yet established immortal achievements, Su Dao did not want to award them the highest honorary military rank of the Chinese Empire so early.

And it may not be a good thing for them to award it so early, which will make their self-confidence extremely inflated, and they will reach the peak of their lives at a young age.

"To be able to sit here is the hope for the future of the Empire, and at the same time a recognition of your performance over the past few years. I know that you are still very young, and being in a high position may have changed your horizons and increased your ambitions.

But I don't want to see any of you do something unbelievable, and I don't want you to do something you're not sure about.

I think you all know the purpose of calling you here, so I won't say more nonsense, let's get to the point, and after explaining some things, we will each go back to their respective units to prepare, so as not to make any mistakes at that time. ”

As soon as Su Daogang opened his mouth, he first sounded a wake-up call to everyone, lest these people's self-confidence swell and cause a catastrophe.

"But I still have to remind you in advance, don't think that I am entrusted with a heavy responsibility to you, that is, I believe you, my purpose is not afraid that you will know, I just want to roast you on the fire, see who is steel, who is meat, if anyone dares to make any mistakes, I will not be soft."

After warning everyone again, Su Dao's voice changed and he shouted directly:

"Li Chengxuan!"

"Here!"

Li Chengxuan stood up violently and straightened his body.

"Appoint you as the commander of the First Army, and immediately form the First Army Command after you return, and at the same time select candidates for the Second Command to report to you, and your position will be vacant for the time being, let your deputy fill it."

……

Subsequently, Su Dao announced the appointment letters one by one, and the generals who were summoned were also excited in their hearts, although they would all be entrusted with important tasks sitting here today, but listening to Su Dao personally say the appointment to them, many people were still quite excited.

I thought that at this time, they were already the highest-ranking generals under the army, but I didn't expect that they would be able to be promoted to another level now, the commander of the group army, that is the position of the commander of a million-strong army, a position that I would never dream of.

Before that, they were only commanders of 150,000 troops, everything was like a dream, if nothing happened, their military rank would soon be promoted to general, and then after establishing immortal achievements, they would become the first marshals of the Chinese Empire.

This is a great opportunity to leave a name for eternity, and these people just because they followed Su Dao a little earlier, fought more battles, and were lucky, they didn't die so early.

"Liu Ling!"

Immediately after, Su Dao shouted again.

"Here!"

Liu Ling stood up and waited.

"You have been appointed commander of Army Group North, responsible for overseeing the deployment of combat missions and the deployment of troops of the First, Third, Fifth, and Seventh Group Armies, completing the run-in training of the troops as soon as possible, and drawing up several sets of operational plans to ensure that after the central authorities issue the combat order, all the troops must be put into battle within 12 hours."

Su Dao said solemnly.

The 3 million troops in the northeast were divided into four army groups, each of which was equipped with 830,000 men as standard, and at the same time left 200,000 troops as the mobile force of the headquarters of the northern army group.

This position was handed over to those military commanders, and Su Dao was still a little uneasy, but at this time, when his subordinates were not in charge of the weather, it was impossible for Su Dao to pull out too suitable people to take up this position.

In desperation, Su Dao had no choice but to pull out Liu Ling, the deputy commander of the army, who had been in the center for so long, and had some experience in the transfer and command of the large corps, and he also came out of the front-line troops before Liu Ling.

It would also be an excellent choice to appoint him as the commander of Army Group North at this time, as he would only need to get used to it for a while, and when the troops were finished, the army in the northeast would burst out with incredible might.

After giving these instructions, Su Dao left some time for everyone to ask questions, and everyone raised all the things they didn't understand, and Su Dao answered them one by one.

Anyway, the cruel words have been put in front by Su Dao, and whoever dares to drop the chain will be cleaned up, so in this link, no one is unwilling to ask questions, but they are very active one by one, for fear that some questions will be missed.

In the end, this meeting, which was of great significance to the Chinese Empire, still did not last more than a day in front of Su Dao's old rules, and if it weren't for the question session that took a little more time, it is estimated that this meeting would not have lasted even half a day.

After these things were done, the commanders of the group army who had been entrusted with important tasks took the plane back to their respective territories that night, and Liu Ling was alone, and it was relatively simple to leave, so he pulled a few guards and asked them to pack up a little, put them in a bag and leave.

Anyway, the chief of his work in the military department is also very clear, but there is no need for him to stay and take over, and there is no one to hold this position now, and it is extremely difficult to even select a group army commander, where can he find someone to replace him as deputy chief of the army?

At this military conference, the entire army of the Chinese Empire was divided into seven larger units, that is, the 1234567 Group Army, and the Eighth Panzer Army was also intended to be formed in a single group, but this Eighth Panzer Army could not appear in a short period of time.

Because the existing armored army will be split and dispersed into various group armies, and the new people trained by the armored army have not yet met the requirements for leaving the division, they will take these new people to the new unit together, and after they are qualified, they will either stay there or come out to form the Eighth Panzer Army.

The 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Group Armies in the northeast were included in the operational sequence of the North Group Army Group, and the Second Group Army was responsible for guarding the security of various parts of the country, and although it had only 800,000 troops, with the cooperation of the domestic armed police force, the number of troops that could be used to maintain domestic stability was close to 1.5 million.

Moreover, these troops do not need to have separate field hospitals, they have designated hospitals in various places, which are used as military hospitals in wartime and open to the public in peacetime.

The Fourth Army is still in the country, but some of it has been used in Australia, and like the Sixth Army, Su Dao has positioned them as a mobile force, where they need to go, and when there is no task, there is only one task, which is training.

The navy did not change much, and there was no surprise, and it was divided into three fleets, namely the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, as well as a Royal Interior Guard Fleet.

As the name suggests, the only two carrier battle groups are split in two, one each for the Pacific Fleet and one for the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the future ownership of the aircraft carrier battle group under training has not yet been specified, but if nothing else, it is likely to be equipped with the Internal Guard Fleet.

Because although the internal guard fleet has the smallest number of troops, the amount of tasks is not easy at all. Although the other two fleets have become pure combat fleets, what about the hundreds of Victory ships that the Navy now has in terms of logistics? Naturally, the internal guard fleet is responsible, and the escort of the general surname is also the responsibility of the internal guard fleet.

Unless it is an ocean-going escort, then only two fleets can do it. Speaking of the Air Force, there was no change in the slightest, but the 1,000 fighters temporarily assigned to Li Zhi's command were reorganized and named the First Battle Group of the Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force.

With Li Zhi as commander, the rest of the domestic air force also followed the previous establishment.

At night, Su Dao looked at the north quietly, and sighed secretly, everything that should be done has been done, and now he is just waiting for the war. (To be continued.) )
