According to the current production speed of the shipyard, it will take two months to complete the construction of a transport ship until it is launched, which is still too slow.

The only way is to use the points to upgrade the sub-base as soon as possible, and the level of the sub-base will also be improved, so that the scale and production efficiency can reach the ideal state.

So for the next period of time, Liao Mingyu temporarily closed all the production lines of the weapons factory at the main base. On the other hand, we will increase the mining work in the mining area, and make every effort to hoard points and upgrade the sub-bases.

During this period, the army will also usher in the third military reorganization and reorganization, and Fan Shaozeng is still the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force on the surface. The commander of the new 88th Army was temporarily assumed by Long Wenwen, and he also served as the honorary commander of the Third Division.

The 88th Army has more than 90,000 people under its jurisdiction under the jurisdiction of the 200th Division, the 50th Division, the Honorary Third Division, as well as the First Heavy Artillery Brigade of Krupp and a rocket artillery regiment attached to the army, plus engineers, medical personnel, and logistics baggage troops.

The individual weapons of the fighters are still mainly M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and the continuous firepower of the squad and platoon is still MG3 general-purpose machine robbery, and a small number of STG44 assault rifles are also installed as a firepower increase between squads.

In order to reduce the logistical burden, the Thomson and Butter submachine guns that fired .45 bullets were basically eliminated by the main force and reserved for the use of second-line personnel and logistics soldiers.

At present, there will hardly be any more large-scale battles, and the troops will practice streamlined command and eliminated some unnecessary establishments, while the division of grass-roots units will be more detailed and the division of labor will be clear, and most of the later units will be mainly interspersed with battles at the company and battalion level.

However, in order to ensure the firepower and logistics of the troops, a large number of baggage troops and transport vehicles were added to the whole army, and the ratio was almost 1:1 with the main force on the front line.

For example, the Honorable Third Division has a total of 18,000 men, while the three main regiments and the artillery regiment together have only more than 9,000 real front-line combat troops, and the rest are basically all logistics personnel.

If we cannot ensure the number and proportion of logistical personnel, it will be difficult to bring into full play the combat effectiveness of the various units of the expeditionary force.

In the later generations on a certain peninsula, in the great war between China and the US army, the volunteers could only carry five to seven days of food supplies for each sortie because of logistical problems, and as a result, the US army discovered this "weekly offensive" and used this aspect to formulate "magnetic tactics" to restrain it, which brought great trouble and losses to the volunteers.

Therefore, logistics is also an important criterion for measuring the strength of an army, especially the expeditionary force, which is currently more dependent on firepower.

Fang Jingyao's new army was officially renamed the 89th Army of the Expeditionary Force. The main force has three infantry divisions of 201, 202 and 203, an artillery brigade and a rocket artillery regiment, and the whole army is about 70,000 people.

The 89th Army was mainly a mixed light army, and each division also had mountain artillery units with good firepower, mainly fighting in jungle and mountainous areas.

After experiencing the battle of Ayeyarwady Province, although the three divisions suffered heavy losses, they also accumulated rich combat experience, and after several months of replenishment and recuperation, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been restored to the same as before, and the combat effectiveness is not several grades higher than when it became the new army.

Liao Mingyu began to reorganize on the basis of the armored brigade, directly expanded five tank regiments and a large number of transport vehicles, and also transferred several batches of experienced veterans from the rear and front-line units.

The original armored brigade was expanded into the 1st Infantry Division, which had three mechanized mixed infantry regiments, a rocket artillery regiment, an engineer regiment and a baggage regiment, as well as a reconnaissance battalion and a special operations company under the division.

Due to the limited terrain of the battlefield in Southeast Asia, it is impossible to gather tanks together to form a steel torrent like Europe, and the tank infantry and combat vehicles can only follow the path of the United States and act as a weapon for infantry to coordinate and support.

Each mechanized infantry regiment has 45 Sherman tanks, 500 wheeled vehicles of various types, 24 75-mm half-track self-propelled guns, and 2500 combat soldiers.

The subordinate armored battalion has 650 personnel, including 1 battalion headquarters, 3 directly subordinate platoons (guard communication platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and sanitary platoon) and 6 companies (3 tank companies, 1 mechanized infantry company, 1 fire support company, and 1 support support company)

Liao Mingyu regarded them as a template for the future troops, all of them were equipped with STG44 assault rifles, and all kinds of artillery at the regimental and battalion level were also very rich, such as rocket launchers, mortars, flamethrowers, light and heavy machine guns, and the firepower configuration of the infantry could be said to be the highest in the whole army.

With the support of a large number of wheeled infantry vehicles, soldiers can not only reach the battlefield quickly, but also carry maximum weapons and equipment, without worrying about the weight burden of equipment and ammunition.

The main focus of the division is a rapid response and mobile combat, deploying to the battlefield at lightning speed, and then crushing the enemy with thunderous firepower.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the logistics can keep up, such a regiment will not be left behind in single-handedly fighting little devils. If the air force can cooperate with the operation, it will be easy for the whole division to beat up a few divisions and regiments.

At present, the new 90 th Army has only one division, the 1st Infantry Division, and the original plan was to reorganize three mechanized divisions, but it will take time to reproduce the same personnel and firepower establishment, not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in the training of soldiers and the formation of combat effectiveness.

Chen Jize unsurprisingly served the post of commander of the 1st Division, although he was young but experienced in combat, he led the armored brigade to defeat the Japanese army several times and performed miraculous feats, and he deserved to sit in this position.

The army commander was temporarily vacant because of the fact that the establishment was not full. However, everyone else knows that when the 90th Army is completed, the position of this army commander belongs to him.

Some time ago, the more than 100,000 troops brought back from western Yunnan basically arrived in Heihe, and now they have been reorganized into five light infantry divisions, each with about 12,000 people.

The rest of the people will be deducted from the old, weak, sick and disabled, and will either be supplemented with the three main forces, or enter the second-line troops, or continue to stay in the base area for training, and be responsible for defending the surrounding areas of the base area.

The five divisions that had been reorganized did not form corps-level units, but were only transferred to Mandalay, Myitkyina, and other important areas to garrison, and were under the unified command and dispatch of Fan Shaozeng, who was sitting in the rear.

They do not have a fixed number, and there is a slight gap between them and the main force in terms of weaponry, mainly in terms of heavy firepower and light weapons.

These soldiers are the reserve force of the expeditionary force, and they can be regarded as battlefield veterans, and they can be replenished immediately in the event of losses in the main force, and they can be pulled out at any time to form a new team number and go to the front line if necessary.
