Chapter 244 Getting Better 3 (Please subscribe to Red Flower!)
When setting up the artillery headquarters, Wu Aihua did not create five armored divisions at once like setting up the armored forces. The artillery division, or heavy artillery division, usually plays an important role in siege warfare or defensive warfare. Its weakness is poor mobility. Of course,
Perhaps the mobility of the National Defense Force is not bad, but artillery is artillery after all, and its mobility is relatively poor; in addition, heavy artillery also has higher requirements for war or campaigns.
For these reasons, Wu Aihua only established three artillery divisions. Artillery commander Jin Xibin, deputy commander Xiao Junhu, and chief of staff Ning Liming. The commanders of the three artillery divisions were Wang Baoxing, Ou Jingxun, and Bao Hai. These three were all previous
Battalion commander of the old artillery regiment of the Independent Column.
The artillery division's main equipment is a 150mm cannon, and its secondary equipment includes defensive 20mm anti-aircraft guns, 60mm guns, etc. Each division has 5 heavy artillery regiments, each regiment has 4 artillery battalions, and 1 light infantry battalion. Each battalion has
It is equipped with 12 150mm cannons, and the division has a total of 240 150mm heavy guns. In addition, the artillery division also has a directly affiliated anti-aircraft battalion, equipped with 48 20mm light anti-aircraft guns. The total number of soldiers of each artillery division is the same as that of the armored division, which is about 30,000.
.
In addition, new adjustments have also been made to the artillery establishment of each group army of the Army. Each group army has established a directly affiliated heavy artillery brigade with 108 150mm heavy artillery in 3 regiments and 9 battalions; the air defense brigade has been cancelled, and a new independent rocket launcher brigade has been established, with 3 regiments and 9
The battalion has 72 24-barrel "Dragon Flame 2" rocket launchers.
In this way, the brigade-level units directly under the group army have independent armored brigades (3 regiments, 9 battalions, 216 "T-24" tanks), independent heavy artillery brigade, independent rocket launcher brigade, and directly under the regiment level there are guard regiments, special operations groups, hospitals, etc.
mechanism.
In addition to maintaining 3 marine regiments and 1 tank regiment (96 "T-12" tanks, large regiment), each marine division will decompose the original artillery regiment and form a new howitzer regiment and 3 howitzer battalions.
36 105mm howitzers, while the 75mm mountain artillery is equipped at the regimental and battalion levels. The division-level troops of the Marine Division have been strengthened, including 1 guard battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 engineer battalion, and 1 rocket launcher battalion equipped with "Dragon Flame"
8 Type 2 24-barreled rocket launchers, 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion with 36 20mm anti-aircraft guns, 1 engineer battalion, 1 supply battalion) and division-direct organs (1 communications company, 1 field hospital with a capacity of 100 people)
, the total number of people is still within 25,000.
Considering that each Marine regiment has a mountain artillery battalion, and each battalion also has a mountain artillery company, a Marine division has a total of 96 75mm mountain guns, plus howitzers, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, etc., the Marine division will comprehensively cover heavy firepower, armor strength, etc.
The Japanese army, and even the German army, which was famous for its armored strength, could not reach such a perverted level of the Wehrmacht.
Firepower comes first! This is one of the most important contents in Wu Aihua’s army-building thoughts. Things like the Japanese army’s 37-type anti-aircraft artillery and 70-mm infantry artillery are simply out of reach on the stage of a world war. If possible, Wu Aihua would still
The artillery division of the National Defense Force will be equipped with larger caliber cannons. Who is better than the cannon? As long as the system is produced, Wu Aihua dares to equip it!
Wu Aihua's military expansion is based on the fact that the previous six group armies have all been reorganized and trained, and the new military expansion operation will not affect the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces.
The Second World War is about to break out. If he does not prepare well and does not take advantage of this only war in human history to double the benefits that the great powers have taken from China, Wu Aihua himself will be embarrassed to say that he is a time traveler, and there are
A "merit system" is such an outrageous thing.
It stands to reason that the reorganization of the troops is almost complete. However, the leaders of the major group armies suggested that the guard division should also be expanded. Wu Aihua thought for a long time and issued the final expansion order.
The guard division was expanded into the "Guards Group Army", with 4 divisions under its jurisdiction: Army Commander Lao Kaisheng, Deputy Army Commander Sun Longcun, Chief of Staff Deng Xia. 1st Division Commander Yang Tong, 2nd Division Commander Zu Shangrong,
The commander of the 3rd Division, Zhao Qiang, and the Commander of the 4th Division, Wu Deli, happened to be the four regimental commanders of the previous Guard Division, and all of them were promoted.
Each Guards division has 4 Guards regiments. Although it is not equipped with T-36 medium and heavy tanks, each regiment is equipped with a 48-vehicle T-12 light assault tank battalion. The soldiers of each division
There are 25,000 people, and the total army is exactly 100,000.
Of course, it will also take time for these four divisions to be established and combat effective.
In this military expansion and adjustment, except for the "coast guard" involving the navy, the navy has basically done nothing. However, this lack of action is not obvious. In fact, Wu Aihua has already issued instructions to Shantou Shipyard and Fuzhou Shipyard.
Plan to develop and manufacture light aircraft carriers.
The system is currently able to produce the "Qinglong 1" heavy cruiser, which has a tonnage of tens of thousands, and its technical level has reached the 1945 level, which is the level at the end of World War II. In addition, two shipyards have been able to manufacture 10,000-ton ocean freighters.
The conditions for manufacturing an aircraft carrier are basically in place.
Wu Aihua's decision to launch the aircraft carrier project also has a lot to do with the intelligence results of the "Fengqing Bureau". In the past six months, the Fengqing Bureau has increased its intelligence work on the navies, armies and air forces of various countries around the world, and among the results brought back is the aircraft carrier
Design drawings, such as the design drawings of the USS Langley aircraft carrier, the Japanese aircraft carrier Fusho, and the latest Japanese aircraft carrier Zuiho.
The reason why the Wehrmacht's shipbuilding technology has advanced so rapidly is closely related to the system's "shipbuilding system technology and equipment" of the 1945 class. Perhaps it would take others five years to develop and manufacture an aircraft carrier, but the Wehrmacht's technical reserves have actually already
Leading other countries, the National Defense Force's weakness lies in its lack of shipbuilding experience and talent. Although it can be "redeemed" from the system for functional robots in related professions, Wu Aihua is more restrained in this, because for a country to be strong, the most important thing is
It is necessary to have strong development capabilities, including talents, technology, and institutions. All three are indispensable. In later generations, the United States and the United States ranked first in the world, and Japan came from behind. These three factors all play a decisive role. Japan, in particular, needs land.
It has no land, no resources, but it can become the most developed country. It is worth pondering.
Wu Aihua asked the two major shipyards to come up with design drawings and process arrangements within three months. The two light aircraft carriers must be delivered before 1940. In total, the two major shipyards have 23 months.
In addition, Wu Aihua also gained another talent. Speaking of which, the acquisition of this talent was extremely accidental. In November 1937, military strategist Jiang Baili went to Longyan for treatment. At this time, Longyan Hospital had the best medical technology in the world, although the system
The medical technology category is not open to Wu Aihua, but the system can "redeem" medical robots. In addition, Wu Aihua's mother, Zhang Chunyan, is a physician at Pla General Hospital. Influenced by her mother, Wu Aihua also likes to download some medical knowledge.
Of course, Wu Aihua contributed this knowledge unconditionally, which not only greatly improved the overall medical technology of the National Defense Forces, but also made the pharmaceutical industry one of the most profitable industries of the National Defense Forces.
Historically, Jiang Baili would die in November 1938, but since Jiang Baili arrived in Longyan, it was basically decided that he would not die. In fact, Jiang Baili's disease (tuberculosis) was more serious in this era, but it was nothing in later generations.
, the Wehrmacht has a variety of ways to treat it.
When Jiang Baili arrived in Longyan, Wu Aihua wanted to meet him out of politeness. In 1937, Jiang Baili wrote the most famous military book "On National Defense". Wu Aihua, a later generation, had carefully studied this book. Regarding Jiang Baili's "
Wu Aihua deeply believes in the idea of "protracted war" because it has been proved to be extremely correct by history.
When they met, 50-year-old Jiang Baili and 28-year-old Wu Aihua chatted happily, and even felt that they had met each other too late. Regarding military affairs, Wu Aihua was more interested in the theories and insights of later generations, but when it came to thinking
In terms of depth and military experience, Jiang Baili can definitely be Wu Aihua's teacher.
However, due to the limitations of time and technology, Jiang Baili's condition could only be controlled and gradually improved. The miracle of cure by medicine did not happen.
After Jiang Baili's condition was under control, Wu Aihua invited Jiang Baili to visit a training course of the National Defense Forces and showed him some new equipment of the National Defense Forces.
"Brother Wu, if there are 1 million troops at the level of the National Defense Forces, I will retract my remarks about the protracted war of resistance." After the training, Jiang Baili said sincerely.
"One million? The National Defense Force has only six main army groups and directly affiliated troops, which is already 1.05 million. However, this is not enough. The great powers took so much from us back then. As a Chinese, I have to take those territories and interests with me.
The profits will be recovered. Therefore, my ideal is 3 million to 5 million such troops. If a new world war breaks out, China will have to organize 10 million such troops."
"10 million, can you live on it?" Jiang Baili obviously didn't believe it and felt that this brother's idea was too naive.
"Feeding war with war!" Wu Aihua didn't say much. This "fed war with war" may be the difference between old soldiers and new soldiers.
In war, there is not so much benevolence and morality to talk about. Everything the enemy has can be used by me.
"Brother Baili, do you want to join our National Defense Force? Either you will command a group army or be appointed as deputy chief of staff?" Wu Aihua extended an invitation to Jiang Baili.
"This...how do you plan to go in the future?" Jiang Baili did not agree directly, but asked rhetorically.
"National reunification is inevitable. I hope to achieve this reunification through political means, and then we will strengthen the country and enrich the people. As you can see, I only have three provinces: Fujian, Guangdong, and Chacha. The territory is too small and cannot be expanded!" Wu Aihua
replied.
"Brother Aihua, you are indeed a genius. You have a good military, a good economy, and a good people's livelihood. Before, I studied your military capabilities more, but this time when I came to Longyan, I discovered that you are good at people's livelihood.
His talent is no less than his military talent." Jiang Baili also said.
"Brother Baili is too praised." Wu Aihua didn't dare to take credit. If it weren't for the two golden fingers of the time traveler and the "merit system", he wouldn't be so capable.
