The meeting continued, and all the officers present were shocked by the Chen family's generosity, which is the purchase of two islands, is this clearly the purchase of a country, if the little devils really occupy the whole of China, they will not have no place to stand with the Chen family, it seems that the outside world rumors that the commander is leaving a way back for the Chen family is not unreasonable.

They really thought that there was indeed an independent country on the island of New Guinea in later generations, called Papua New Guinea, or PNG for short, which occupied the eastern part of the island of New Guinea. There is also a province of Indonesia that occupies the western part of the island of New Guinea. Even Tasmania is a state in Australia, and it is also Australia's only island state.

"Now there are not many small-scale battles, and the war between us and the Japanese army has escalated to the mode of fighting in large corps, whether it is us or the little devils, we don't bother to fight petty, so either we don't fight, if we want to fight, we will fight in the dark, and we will fight to the death. This is also the reason why the theater has set up a group army, but judging from the previous stage of fighting, it seems that our three major group armies cannot meet the needs of large corps operations, so I think it is necessary to adjust the current combat group, what do you think? Chen Feng asked loudly.

Chief of Staff Yang Yi was the first to speak: "What does the commander mean to adjust the strategic units at the group army level?" ”

"Well, we will not defend in the future, but attack, in addition to attacking the Japanese army in North China, we will also attack the Japanese army in the northeast, so our strategic group must have the ability to take charge of itself." Chen Feng said.

"The commander is right. The last time I led a large army to fight in the south, I found some problems, and we still have very little experience in the operation of large corps, so the establishment of our troops must be reasonable, otherwise it will be difficult to take advantage of the Japanese army in the battle of large corps. Li Yifeng also got up and said.

"Commander, what are you going to do?" Shi Jianfei asked straight to the point.

"I plan to adjust the establishment of each group army, and then set up one group army, and the specific method is as follows: Each group army must have at least three infantry divisions, one artillery division, one cavalry division, one armored brigade, one army aviation brigade, one special operations brigade, one guard brigade, one engineer brigade, one air defense brigade, one transport brigade, and one baggage brigade. If we calculate according to our current troop establishment, a group army will need at least 100,000 people, which is unreasonable. Therefore, in the future, the infantry divisions subordinate to the various army groups will only be simple combat divisions, and some auxiliary units will have to be reduced. Then concentrated to the army group. Chen Feng said.

"Commander. Do you mean that there will be no baggage, sappers and other units in the infantry divisions in the future? Ma Cao asked loudly.

"No, it's just that the infantry divisions of the group army have reduced the auxiliary units, and the other independent infantry divisions are still strategic units, and the auxiliary units must be retained." Chen Feng said.

"And what troops does each combat division command?" This time it was Zhang Jingjun of the 10th Provisional Division who spoke.

"According to my thinking, each combat division has 3 infantry regiments, 1 fire support regiment, 1 armored battalion, and 1 guard battalion. And the number of each infantry regiment was to be reduced to 2,800 people. The total strength of each division is 11,500 men. The cavalry regiment, air defense regiment, engineer regiment, guard regiment, and baggage regiment directly under the command were all handed over to the headquarters of the group army, along with equipment and soldiers. The group army headquarters will then be organized into other auxiliary units. Chen Feng said.

"This is a good way, because the combat units and auxiliary units perform their own duties, and whatever kind of auxiliary units are needed for the operation are dispatched by the headquarters of the group army. Very good. Yang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Commander, have the personnel and numbers of each group army been transferred?" Xu Hu asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, there have been changes, since we want to adjust, then we must adjust more reasonably, after the adjustment, the combat divisions of each group army have become tactical units, so old units such as the 101st Division, the 222nd Division, and the Seventh Independent Division must be transferred out of the original combat units, and then the newly formed units will be transferred to the various group armies, and only these veteran divisions will be qualified to become independent strategic units." Chen Feng said.

"Commander, then you give an order, our 40th Army will resolutely carry out your order!" Li Wensheng said.

"So do we!"

"Well, now I order: From now on, the 40th Group Army, the 49th Group Army, the 52nd Group Army, and the newly established 59th Group Army and the 61st Group Army are all composed of 3 infantry divisions, 1 artillery division, 1 cavalry brigade, 1 armored brigade, 1 army aviation brigade, 1 guard brigade, 1 engineer brigade, 1 air defense brigade, 1 transport brigade, 1 baggage brigade, and 1 special operations brigade, with a total strength of 85,800 people.

"From now on, Mongolia will save the country. The army was reorganized into the 59th Group Army, with Bilig as the commander-in-chief of the group army, Lieutenant General Andrei and Lieutenant General Chen Tiebao as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Tana no longer served as the national salvation. The post of deputy commander-in-chief of the army, in addition to the former salvation of the country.
