Chapter 409: Army Reorganization
readx; Today's Su Dao can be regarded as a spring breeze, it is the peak of his life, and this year's Su Dao is only twenty-six years old, and he has not yet passed the age of twenty-six. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Think about other people, who can achieve such things at the age of twenty-six? Even the officers who followed Su Dao to start his career were rarely over thirty years old, most of them were around twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and these people were now high-ranking generals with hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in their hands.
Although the younger generals of the army may lead to disaster due to their lack of experience in some major wars, it cannot be denied that the military potential of the Chinese Empire will be enormous in the coming decades.
And these today's generals, according to the average of 40 years of service each person, will be less than 70 years old by then, even if they are retired, with these people in charge of the overall situation, that kind of ungrounded situation will never happen.
Because these forty years are enough for them to train enough successors, as long as there are no problems at the top, then it is better to say that the following ones are constantly tempered by war, then this army will definitely be the most powerful existence.
Su Dao took out a key from his body and opened a drawer at the bottom of his desk, in which lay a file bag containing the results of Su Dao's idle research these days.
With the increasing number of troops, the current maximum establishment of the Chinese Emperor [***] team is a corps-level unit, except for the armored group army, which has a great impact on the central command of the troops, and it is not enough to command so many troops.
And here, it is loaded with the military reform plan prepared by Su Dao based on previous experience and information learned by later generations, which is actually very simple, which is nothing more than a detailed list of the establishment of a group army above the military level, and then an optional theater command will be added, which is responsible for controlling all the troops in the entire theater.
Of course, if the scale of this theater is not large and the number of troops is not large, then it is not necessary to set up this headquarters, and the central authorities can directly issue orders to the group army or the military headquarters.
And Su Dao also knew that fighting with the Soviet Union in the future would involve a huge amount of troops, and if one army was to command, it would definitely suffer a loss, at least in terms of command, it would not be possible to achieve synchronization. Taking advantage of the fact that there is less than a year to go, Su Dao originally planned to wait for the end of the conscription to come up with this plan.
However, according to the current situation, we have to prepare in advance, lest everyone will not be used to this mode of warfare by then.
"It contains the military reform plan I formulated, you take it back and discuss it, and start implementing it after mastering the core of this plan, and select a group of senior generals with huge room for improvement and excellent command skills, and let them come to Tran Island at the same time."
Su Dao handed the file bag containing the plan to Chen Yuhai, and at the same time handed them the power of the candidates who were about to be promoted to generals.
Su Dao didn't have any worries about this, Su Dao was clear about what his troops were like, and it was okay for them to promote their own people, as long as they had excellent skills and skills, even if they were all the generals Su Dao of a certain person.
And the current situation Su Dao is also very clear, how can they have any henchmen under them? It can be said that those who can become high-level generals are basically Su Dao's henchmen, so it doesn't matter who they mention, there is no need to check and balance the people below at all.
And Chen Yuhai and others are also the leaders of the pro-Soviet forces in the army, the former leader was Wu Zhongguo, but after Wu Zhongguo retired, he handed over this position to Chen Yuhai, it can be said that Su Dao's biggest capital is the pro-Soviet forces in this army, and it is they who condense the entire army into an iron plate.
"Okay, I'm going to go back and organize a meeting to discuss, and try to get all these people to Tran Island within a week."
Chen Yuhai replied, military reform is already an inevitable trend, the 4 million troops, the standard configuration of an army is about 150,000, they now have 30 armies under their command, more divisions, and it is also a bit troublesome to command, often the same telegram has to be sent several times, if the order from the northeast side has to be sent nearly 20 times, it is very troublesome.
Even if Su Dao did not propose a military reform plan, then Chen Yuhai would have to propose this plan after a while, mainly because it was too troublesome for the central government to command, and it was not convenient at all.
"Hey, Your Majesty is really generous this time, which makes me feel a little weak."
Chen Yuhai sat in the conference room of the military headquarters, looked at a few old guys at the round table, and said a little bottomless in his heart.
"Who says it isn't, although this simplifies the command procedures of the central government to the greatest extent and can command the troops to make changes faster, but the problem is that the group of people below is a little uneasy, and I don't know if they can take on this heavy responsibility."
Chief of Staff Xiao Jinshan also nodded, and sighed a little unconfidently.
"Lao Li, this change is the most powerful in the army, can you do that group of boys under you? Hurry up and give a word, if it doesn't work, let's go to Your Majesty and talk about it, don't make such a big move for the time being. ”
Navy Chief Yang Shuming glanced at Army Chief Li Qiuhua and asked worriedly.
"Yes, Lao Li, you hurry up and give a quasi-word, if it doesn't work, let's go to Your Majesty to talk about it, this is not a joke, if you don't make hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, it will be over."
Air Force Chief Wang Qingshui also hurriedly spoke.
Previously, Chen Yuhai didn't look at the change plan when he got it back from Su Dao, but only looked at it after gathering people together, but what he didn't expect was that Su Dao changed it so thoroughly this time, it can be said that after this military reform, the establishment of the army has been formed, and there is no need to move it in the future.
But the problem is not nothing, often people say that they are afraid of not being grounded, but now their situation is not to accept the weather, no one can be sure whether their people can withstand such pressure, and they do not know what the consequences will be.
Although these people here are the highest-level existence in the Chinese Emperor's [***] team, they have not personally commanded so many troops, and in many cases they are tasks under Su Dao, and they are conveyed layer by layer, and then the tasks are formulated, and finally transmitted back to the military department.
And once the plan is implemented, unless there is a major accident, otherwise the plan is not allowed to be changed, the only person who has the right to change the plan is Su Dao, but many times Su Dao will not care about these, as for retaining this right, the main reason is that the army is afraid of difficulties, because there is a plan and does not dare to make changes without authorization.
At the same time, it is also to prevent those people in the military department from interfering indiscriminately, and the final failure of the mustache is not precisely in this regard?
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence, but I think Your Majesty should be sure, right? Otherwise, it would not have been possible to formulate this plan, and I think our next task should be in the selection of personnel, not the viable name of this military reform plan. ”
Li Qiuhua struggled for a long time, and finally held back a big truth.
"Yes, our focus is on the selection of people."
Chen Yuhai suddenly remembered something, and immediately abandoned his previous thoughts and affirmed directly.
When he came out of Su Dao, Su Dao also specially told him to find those senior generals who had room for improvement and excellent command skills, and Su Dao had even reminded him where the key point was, but Chen Yuhai hadn't figured it out before, so everyone was entangled in this aspect.
"The Air Force has not changed, Lao Wang, you can also stay and give some opinions, let's discuss with the Navy first, and put the Army last."
Chen Yuhai continued to speak.
Su Dao is too good at giving them problems, this change in the navy is easy to say, you only need to pick a few people, and then divide the warships, there is no difficulty, the difficulty is on the army, after all, the scale is too large, there are too many troops involved, and it is easy to have problems if you are not serious.
And why didn't the Air Force change? Because the current size of the Air Force is sufficient, a division is basically 650-750 fighters of all kinds, of which at least 400 are fighters, and the rest are dive bombers and long-range bombers.
At present, with the exception of two aircraft carrier formations that have formed combat effectiveness and one aircraft carrier formation that is in the run-in period, the other warships are basically scattered and temporarily organized when there is a combat mission, and in peacetime they mainly patrol with a single ship or three or five warships.
This time, the main thing is to bring these warships together, set up a fleet, balance the number of warships in each fleet, and then put the fleet under unified command, and the military department will no longer temporarily organize each warship, so that the navy can form a fixed teammate and cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation.
The army is the most troublesome, according to Su Dao's requirements, a group army will be set up above the corps level, this is a permanent surname, and then a dispensable theater command will be prepared in case of opening up a large battlefield.
In addition, each group army consists of at least two infantry corps, a tank corps, an armored infantry division, an artillery corps, an air defense division, a logistics baggage army, a group army field hospital, and a reserve army.
At this time, the number of troops of the Chinese Empire was basically unified, and the difference between the top and bottom would not exceed 5,000, and the establishment of an infantry corps was about 150,000, and the maximum number of two infantry corps plus an armored infantry division was 350,000.
The tank army is composed of three to five tank divisions, with the development of the troops, each tank division is equipped with 400 tanks as standard, and each tank division is also composed of 50,000 people.
In this way, a tank army has at least 1,200 tanks, and if more, it may have 2,000 tanks, and the number of people is 150,000 to 250,000.
The armored infantry division is 50,000 people, and the artillery corps usually consists of three artillery divisions, with only heavy artillery divisions, because there are a few small-caliber 75 mm field artillery regimental units, which are a bit wasteful if they are set up separately, and the heavy artillery division has 200 to 300 105 mm howitzers and 155 heavy guns. And the number is also 50,000, and an army is 150,000.
There were not many people in the air defense division, and there were only three or four hundred anti-aircraft guns in total, which added up to about 10,000 or 20,000 people.
And what Su Dao did this time was to draw out the baggage troops of all the troops, gather them together to form a baggage army, and uniformly dispatch the baggage supplies to each unit, so the number of people in this part of the baggage does not need to be counted, because they are already in the 50,000 infantry division.
In other words, after the reorganization is completed, if the reserve army is added, the total strength of a group army will be at least 820,000, and at most it may be more than one million.
After two days of discussion, a few people were finally selected, but everyone was not at ease, and planned to test them first after they came, and then report to them after they passed, and if they were not qualified, they could only let them go back. (To be continued.) )
