Chapter 302: Reorganization of the Army

However, the Cossack Empire was an invasion of the Stanya Alliance, and it did not need so many troops at all. Without waiting for the reserves to be assembled, Alexander III had already sent troops.

After all, the Cossack Empire is a former great power country, although the national strength is somewhat weakened after being defeated by the Chinese leader, but it is full of heritage, they only sent 300,000 standing active troops, and the Stanya Alliance is already somewhat unable to support it, not to mention the younger brother of the Cossack Empire, the Kokand State that also borders the Stanya Alliance, also started at the same time.

The Cossack corps divided into two armies and advanced in a pincer offensive from the east and west, aiming directly at Jusare, the northern stronghold of the Stanya Alliance.

The intelligence bureau of the Chinese Consulate had already received information that the Assassins wanted to assassinate the Cossack Emperor in Baku, so they were well prepared and made contact with the Stanya Alliance in advance.

The Chinese Empire sold a large number of weapons to the Stanya Alliance at a low price in advance, so most of the soldiers of the Stanya Alliance used Type 92 rifles, and even some 76-mm guns and heavy machine guns were equipped in the army.

However, facts have proved that a unit that has no combat experience, even if it has the best weapons, will not be able to do it without soldiers who can fully display the performance of these weapons.

Although the weapons in the hands of the Stanya soldiers were no worse than those of the Cossack army, the Stanya soldiers, who had no combat experience, were forced to retreat after holding out for less than a day in the face of the battle-hardened Cossack soldiers.

The Stanya soldiers, who had no preparation for war and no experience, retreated again and again, until they were driven to the south bank of the Amu Darya River before they stood still, and the Steanya Alliance hurriedly mobilized heavy troops and arranged a defensive line along the Amu Darya River, and all the reserves were sent to the battlefield, while they began to ask the Yaman Empire for help.

The failure of the Stanya Alliance gave Fang Xiaoyu a great shock, and he immediately became vigilant, although the quality of the Chinese soldiers is very high now, and many veterans who have fought in the big war are still full of troops.

However, the original defense force that has just been changed to the national defense force is a conscription force, they are a two-year compulsory military system, and the army will be filled with a large number of recruits after a long time, if he participates in the war at the end of the World War, he will inevitably use the lives of recruits to fill in like the United States did back then, so that soldiers can complete the necessary training on the battlefield, which is very cruel, and a large number of recruits will die in this situation, so Fang Xiaoyu must get rid of this situation.

After the Xia, Wang, and Xiahou families were willing to withdraw from the military and political circles and hand over the army and power to the Chinese leaders, the army of the newly established Chinese Empire was adjusted to a certain extent.

The Guards remained eleven corps and one division, including nine infantry corps, one heavy artillery regiment, one special operations corps and one cavalry division, of which the infantry corps and heavy artillery regiments were all mechanized, and trucks, jeeps and motorcycles were distributed.

Fang Xiaoyu even organized a chariot brigade in each of the nine infantry corps as an experimental unit, equipped with the Wind Wolf light chariot developed by the Chinese Empire itself.

The Wehrmacht was enlarged to a certain extent, from 20 infantry corps to 25 corps, and five cavalry corps, with 1.5 million men. The Marine Corps also expanded the strength of the two corps, reaching five corps and 250,000 troops.

The regular army of the Chinese Empire has exceeded two million people, and Fang Xiaoyu's private army is no less impressive. Due to the destruction of the Cheng family, a large number of slaves were emancipated, and Fang Xiaoyu placed most of these people in the Wild Continent, and their family problems Fang Xiaoyu still repeated his old tricks, collecting a large number of women from nearby countries and countries to the Wild Continent to marry them.

The population of the Wild Continent showed explosive growth, soon reaching a population of 100 million, many new cities began to be built, a large number of factories were built, and the Wild Continent became more and more prosperous.

In addition, Fang Xiaoyu has absorbed new blood all over the country, not only all kinds of scientific and technological talents, but also many fresh graduates of colleges and universities, in addition to expanding scientific research units or giving technical guidance to new factories, most of those fresh graduates have become teachers, so that those illiterate slaves can increase the accumulation of cultural knowledge and become fully qualified workers.

With sufficient human resources, the Iron Blood Army also began to expand, and the new six armies were established, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army, Fang Xiaoyu turned the four oldest corps in the Iron Blood Army into fully armored troops, each regiment of these troops was equipped with a tank battalion, equipped with twenty-four wind wolf type combat vehicles, two mechanized battalions were all equipped with trucks and artillery, and a baggage battalion was specially used to transport ammunition and fuel.

The guards were renamed the China Security Company by Fang Xiaoyu and became a subsidiary of the China Foundation, and all the team members became the company's security guards, and they were still scattered to protect the overseas assets of the China Foundation.

The Chinese Empire has so many troops, but most of them are facing the reality of having no combat experience, so Fang Xiaoyu remembered the most famous Red Flag military exercise of the United States on the earth, only in the kind of completely actual combat environment, except for the situation of imitating actual combat in all environments except for live ammunition, can troops with actual combat experience be trained.

With this kind of actual combat exercise already operating in the Iron and Blood Army for many years, and there is considerable practical experience, with this experience to learn from, Fang Xiaoyu instructed the General Staff Department to start preparing for the military exercise, and the location of the first live military exercise between the defense army and the Guards Army was selected in Minfeng Mansion, which is close to the border area in Loulan County.

The 1st Guards Corps will act as an imaginary enemy unit and conduct a confrontation exercise with the 20th and 21st Armies of the Wehrmacht participating in the training, codenamed 'Rainbow'.

The large-scale dispatch of the regular army of the Chinese Empire frightened the Cossack Empire, which was attacking the Stanya Alliance.

Although the Chinese Empire informed the Cossack Empire in advance that they were going to conduct military exercises, just in case, the Cossack Empire drew a corps from the Second Army, which was attacking on the Eastern Front, and put the troops of Kokand on high alert in the border area.

The reason why the General Staff set the exercise here was actually an intention to scare the Cossack Empire and reduce the pressure on the Stanya Alliance.

After all the personnel were in place, the exercise began immediately, and there was no plan for this exercise, and the two sides did not have any intelligence support other than the area of the exercise and the number of the other side, which means that the exercise was completely in accordance with actual combat except for the use of empty ammunition.

The 1st Guards Army, which arrived early, was the first to build up positions and deploy troops, while the two Wehrmacht Corps, which arrived later, acted as offensive forces and launched an attack on the Guards positions.
