The Spring Festival of 39 years may be the most comfortable Spring Festival that Chen Feng has ever had in his previous and future lives combined.

Moreover, this Spring Festival is also the richest Spring Festival for all the officers and men of the Eighth Theater, and from the beginning of the 23rd year to the Lantern Festival, the troops have plenty of oil and water for more than 20 days, and the white flour buns can be made vigorously, so that a group of miners rescued from the Jingcheng mining area can only eat thin.

It has been more than two months since they got married, and in the past two months, the entire Chen family has been full of laughter every day, and Chen Feng has not gone anywhere in the past two months, and has been staying in Guisui all the time. However, he didn't waste all his time on the bed of his wife, and in the past two months, Chen Feng carried out a comprehensive reorganization and adjustment of the army, navy and air force of the Eighth Theater.

On the army side, in view of the fact that the original establishment of the Eighth Theater was too prominent in the tactics of infantry charge, and the casualties among soldiers in each battle were too serious, Chen Feng carried out a comprehensive reorganization of the original seven integrated divisions, eight independent brigades, and four garrison brigades.

Under the Theater Command, the headquarters of the group army has been added, and the entire theater has three group armies, namely the 40th Group Army, the 49th Group Army, the 52nd Group Army, and the units directly under the theater. There was still no corps-level headquarters under the group army, but the firepower of each group army was greatly improved, far exceeding that of the previous 40th Group Army.

In addition, the number of artillery divisions was abolished, and the three artillery divisions were split into six artillery brigades. The cavalry group was abolished, and three of the five cavalry divisions of the cavalry group were placed under the command of the various army groups, and the other one was reorganized into armored units.

At the same time, the number of the special operations division was revoked. The special operations division is divided into four, with each group army commanding a special operations brigade, and then the theater command directly administering one.

The Mongolian National Salvation Army was reorganized, and two cavalry divisions were abolished and one infantry division and one armored regiment were added. After the reorganization, the Mongolian National Salvation Army has two infantry divisions of three regiments, one cavalry division of three regiments, one armored regiment, and one guard regiment.

In addition, the theater has added seven special task brigades to the original seven integrated infantry divisions, and the establishment of the special task force is different from that of ordinary divisions and brigades, and its establishment is larger than that of ordinary infantry brigades, but it is smaller than that of infantry divisions, but its firepower is extremely powerful. Can be used as a tactical unit on its own. Each task force is in addition to one reinforced infantry regiment. There is also a tank battalion equipped with 97 tanks, a reinforced artillery battalion equipped with 12 German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 75 mountain guns, 6 75 field guns and 12 Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns, and a transport brigade equipped with 220 American ten-wheeled trucks, with a total of 7,200 personnel in the brigade. This is all a rapid reaction assault group.

In addition, the army aviation branch has been added. The army aviation of the 8th theater of operations is tentatively designated as a brigade-level unit. It has three brigades and one squadron, namely the Army Aviation Fighter Group, the Army Aviation Bomber Group, the Army Aviation Transport Aircraft Group, and the Army Aviation Reconnaissance Aircraft Squadron. Each brigade is armed with 84 fighters, and the squadron is 27.

After the reorganization, each group army has two infantry divisions, one cavalry division, one motorized infantry brigade, one artillery brigade, one armored brigade, and one reinforced guard regiment. The total strength of the army is 82,000.

Lieutenant General Li Wensheng, commander-in-chief of the 40th Group Army, Lieutenant General Zhang Jingjun, deputy commander-in-chief, and Major General Hu Tiesheng, chief of staff. The 40th Group Army has the 101st Division, the 10th Provisional Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 5th Special Task Brigade, the 2nd Mountain Artillery Brigade, the 1st Armored Brigade, and the 1st Guard Regiment.

Commander-in-Chief of the 49th Army, Lieutenant General Li Yifeng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Andrei, Chief of Staff, Major General Bobosha. The 49th Group Army has under the jurisdiction of the 222nd Division, the Garrison Division, the 2nd Cavalry Division, the 6th Special Task Brigade, the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade, the 2nd Armored Brigade, and the 2nd Guard Regiment.

Lieutenant General Xu Hu, Commander-in-Chief of the 52nd Group Army, Lieutenant General Shi Jianfei, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Major General Liu Haoqiang, Chief of Staff. The 52nd Group Army has under the jurisdiction of the 7th Independent Division, the 3rd Instructor Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, the 7th Task Brigade, the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 3rd Armored Brigade, and the 3rd Guard Regiment.

Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian National Salvation Army Bilig, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tana and Chen Tiebao, and Chief of Staff Li Yisheng. It has the jurisdiction of the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, the 4th Cavalry Division, the Armored Regiment and the Guard Regiment.

So far, the army units under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Theater are: the 40th Group Army, the 49th Group Army, the 52nd Group Army, the Mongolian National Salvation Army, the Guard Division, the Armored Division, the Air Defense Division, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Infantry Special Task Brigades, the Mountain Artillery Brigade, the Field Artillery Brigade, the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Army Aviation Brigade.

At the same time, the relevant officers of the unit also made adjustments: Li Wensheng no longer served as the commander of the 101st Division, the commander of the 101st Division was replaced by Major General Li Bin, the former deputy commander of the 101st Division, the deputy division commander was taken over by Colonel Hailiang, the former commander of the 306th Regiment, and the chief of staff of the division was taken over by Colonel Xu Haisheng, commander of the 307th Regiment.

Li Yifeng no longer served as the commander of the 222nd Division, and the commander of the 222nd Division was replaced by Lieutenant General Xu Fufu, the former deputy commander of the division. Xu Hu was no longer the commander of the Independent Seventh Division, and the division commander was replaced by Deputy Division Commander Li Jianhua.

Xu Bao was no longer the commander of the special operations division, but was transferred to the director of the special operations department of the Saibei Military and Political University. Chen Tiebao was no longer the deputy commander of the Special Operations Division and was transferred to the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Mongolian National Salvation Army and commander of the 1st Infantry Division. Hu Yi is no longer the deputy commander of the Mongolian National Salvation Army, and the theater of operations is reused.

Long Jian no longer served as the deputy commander of the guard division, and the theater was reused, and the vacant position was taken over by Colonel Zhou Haisheng, chief of staff of the guard division. Jing Jing is no longer the deputy chief of the first intelligence section, and the war zone is reused.

This readjustment was the largest since Chen Feng joined the army, and it involved the transfer of more than 1,000 officers from the lieutenant general to the commander-in-chief of the lieutenant general and the second lieutenant platoon commander.

In addition to the reorganization and readjustment of the army, Chen Feng also readjusted and refined the air force, and the commander of the Northern Air Force retained it, but the establishment was greatly reduced; in addition to placing the 300 fighters of the Army Aviation Brigade under the command of the Army, Chen Feng also revoked the numbers of the aviation divisions and aviation brigades under the former Northern Air Force, and the Northern Air Force Command directly administered nine aviation regiments and two aviation battalions, namely the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fighter regiments, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bomber regiments, the 1st and 2nd transport aircraft regiments, and the 1st and 2nd reconnaissance aircraft battalions.

Each aviation regiment has three aviation battalions and a total of 84 fighters. Each aviation battalion has three aviation squadrons with a total of 27 fighters.

In addition, Chen Feng also added an airborne brigade to the Air Force, and the airborne brigades directly under the Northern Air Force became two, and Chen Feng also increased the establishment of the radar battalion, which was also subordinate to the Northern Air Force.

The biggest adjustment is the navy, which is completely from scratch for the eighth theater of operations. On January 22, 1938, the Eighth Theater Commander's Department decided to establish the Northern Navy and set up a naval command, with Chen Feng himself as the commander, the deputy commander temporarily vacant, the chief of staff was served by Viktor, who had served in the Tsarist Russian Navy, and the logistics minister was concurrently served by Yan Changxi.

The Northern Navy consists of three major fleets, the first of which is the Yellow River Fleet, which is composed of more than 10,000 soldiers trained in the United States. The commander of the fleet is vacant, the deputy commander is Chang Zhiguo, the leader of the training team, and the chief of staff is Zhao Baojia, the deputy leader of the training team.

The second fleet is the Yangtze River Fleet, which consists of more than 1,000 people trained in the navy of the Nationalist Government, and the exact composition has not yet been determined. The commander of the fleet is also vacant, with Tian Haiyang, the deputy commander of the training team, and Liu Shun, the deputy commander of the training team, and Liu Shun, the deputy leader of the training team, as the chief of staff.

The Third Fleet is the Heilongjiang Fleet, which consists of those who were trained in the Soviet Union, and the exact composition has not yet been determined. The commander of the fleet is also vacant, with Jiang Haitao, the deputy commander of the training team, and Hu Haibin, deputy leader of the training team, as chief of staff.

In order to make these three navies start from scratch as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness, Chen Feng decided to let Yan Changxi go to the United States after February 2. The candidate for the entourage, Chen Feng, has also been determined, and Hu Yi, Long Jian, and Jing Jing are all entourage.

The magnitude of the adjustment of the troops this time far exceeded the expectations of all the officers, so the troops were constantly moving for two months, some numbers disappeared, and some numbers increased, but whether it was Yang Yi or Li Wensheng, Xu Hu and others found that the number of cavalry in the reorganized troops was greatly reduced, which was not only reflected in the number of numbers, the original 9 cavalry divisions are now only 4. More importantly, the number of soldiers in each cavalry division has also been reduced considerably, and in the past, there were more than 2,500 men in each cavalry regiment, and each cavalry division had three cavalry regiments and one machine gun regiment, plus other troops, and the total strength could reach about 12,000.

But now, although each cavalry division still has three cavalry regiments, all other units have been abolished, and there is neither artillery nor baggage. In addition each cavalry regiment also from

The three reinforced cavalry battalions became two ordinary cavalry battalions, each regiment had less than 1,000 men, and the whole division added up to only 3,300 people, and there were no heavy weapons, and a heavy cavalry division was instantly reduced to a light cavalry division.

In addition, the number of artillery is shrinking, but the number is increasing, before the whole army had a total of 3 artillery divisions, but now it has become 6 artillery brigades, in addition to a large number of machine gun regiments.

The largest increase is still the armored troops, even the cavalry division that was reorganized before, a total of 2 cavalry divisions have become armored corps, and now in addition to an armored division directly under the jurisdiction of the theater, each group army also has an armored brigade, and the number of armored troops in the eighth theater has risen sharply.

They also saw that Chen Feng was increasing the mobility and flexibility of the troops, and at the same time, he was also increasing the troops' artillery strike capabilities and independent combat capabilities. As a result of the reorganization, both group armies and special task brigades, although they are different in size, are all strategic-level combat units, and they can take charge of their own operations when they are pulled out, and their comprehensive combat capability has been greatly enhanced, far exceeding that of two months ago.

Of course, the efforts of these two months were not in vain, and Chen Feng was rewarded with a total of 780 points in 2 months. At the same time, Chen Feng also has a deeper understanding of the upgraded system, although the system has canceled the lottery function, and there is less opportunity to fight big with small. But the system has started the task system, the task system is very powerful, no matter how far away, as long as the troops under Chen Feng complete any of the tasks released by the system, the reward will be immediately calculated to Chen Feng's head, so although Chen Feng has only completed 2 side tasks in the past two months, he has been rewarded with 780 points, which is very bullish.
