Chapter 236 The battle damage is too large, follow-up development
Therefore, the current stage is to expand and train new recruits. At this time, it is still a bit difficult to further expand the strength of the People's Army.
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to focus most of your attention on training new soldiers.
Su Yu also had the same idea, but before that, there was one more thing that needed to be done, and that was to expand.
Thinking of this, Su Yu asked Yang Shan to call back all the six brigade commanders who were developing outside, and also asked them to bring the good seedlings with them.
Without exception, these good seedlings were selected by Su Yu personally, and then placed in each brigade for training and experience.
Now that he has been practicing for more than a month, Su Yu feels that time is almost up and it is time for these people to take up their posts.
There's no way, the People's Army doesn't have that much time for these people to practice slowly. Speaking of which, it's already been two months since the First Army took over the entire Little Japs.
According to the news from Taro Yamashita, Okamura Neji's side has begun to be dishonest, and various plans against the People's Army are often discussed internally.
If Taro Yamashita hadn't interfered, the plan might have been finalized long ago. For this, Su Yu only gave Taro Yamashita one task.
That is to let him try his best to delay for as long as possible, even though the People's Army now has a strength of 200,000.
He is fully capable of confronting Okamura Neji's army head-on, but you must know that among the 200,000 people, more than half are new recruits.
If they had a head-on confrontation with Okamura Neji at this time, the People's Army would certainly not be afraid, but the subsequent losses would definitely be very serious.
If these new recruits go to the battlefield without a series of training, many of them will be cannon fodder and have little combat effectiveness.
Therefore, after Su Yu considered it, he asked Yamashita Taro to stall for time, preferably for a month.
It only takes a month. Su Yu believes that within this month, he can fully train the new recruits.
After a month of training, these new recruits must have a certain degree of combat effectiveness by then. If they go head-to-head with Okamura Neji's large army, the losses will be much smaller.

Soon, under Yang Shan's notice, the six brigade commanders brought various talents to the conference room that had been prepared long ago.
This time was different from the past. The number of people attending this meeting reached hundreds, except for six brigade commanders.
The rest are all talents hand-picked by Su Yu. You must know that in the previous meetings, there were only a few months or even a dozen at most.
They had never encountered a meeting like today with hundreds of people at once, considering the number of people.
Su Yu had also prepared a large conference room long ago to ensure that these people could sit down.
Before long, the entire conference room was filled with people, and everyone was discussing with each other.
Of course, among them, the loudest ones were undoubtedly the six brigade commanders. When they met, they almost always wanted to brag about each other.
Then came the Versailles wave, but what they didn't know was that from today on, the identities of the six of them would be different.
"The teacher is here."
Just as everyone in the conference room was chatting heatedly, someone suddenly said something, and the entire conference room immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked outside the door in unison and found that Su Yu had indeed arrived, with Yang Shan behind him.
"I called you here today because I have something big to announce. Now the entire People's Army has entered a state of rapid development."
"You must be very busy, so I won't waste time and go straight to the topic. There are three reasons why I called you here today."
"The first thing is that as the strength of our People's Army increases, the previous six brigades are not enough."
"Therefore, I am preparing to expand from six brigades to six divisions, with each division equipped with three infantry brigades and artillery brigades."
"In this case, we will have twenty-four brigades. As for the regiment-level organization, it will be as before, with three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment under each brigade."
"Of course, these organizations are only the most basic. In addition to these organizations, I will also have specialized armored units, fighter units, etc."
"In the end, all six divisions will be placed under the North China Theater, and I will be the commander-in-chief of the North China Theater for the time being."
"Do you have any questions about this arrangement?"
"No!"
Everyone said in unison, just kidding, Su Yu's status in the People's Army is very high.
In the People's Army, no one can challenge Su Yu's authority, and almost all high-level officials obey Su Yu's orders.
Seeing this, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction. The reaction of these people was what he expected.
Just kidding, these people in front of him were all trained by him, and there is no doubt about their loyalty.
