Germany is the originator of special operations, and even the originator of the modern army. The Chinese can teach the Germans a lesson, which can at least satisfy Wu Aihua's vanity to a small extent.
Don't be surprised, everyone has vanity. In other words, everyone cares about "face".
However, this is only a small pleasure. Training the German special forces can make the killings in Europe more brutal, make the European war more dark, and weaken the great powers even more. This is a big pleasure.
Because there is an eternal truth in this world, that is, when a crane and a clam compete, the fisherman will benefit!
In the two World Wars in history, the United States was the biggest "fisherman"; in the World War II in parallel time and space, China may also become the "fisherman".
However, Wu Aihua is not the only smart person in the world. China wants to be a fisherman, but some people will not give China the opportunity to be a fisherman.
In July 1938, after the National Defense Forces decisively eliminated Sheng Shicai, the Chahar Northern Base troops of the National Defense Forces and the Majia troops in Qinghai and Gansu quickly dispatched troops to Xinjiang and basically controlled the situation in Xinjiang within two months.
.Then, the Northwestern Front of the National Defense Force was formed. The 4th Group Army, the 10th Group Army, and the 22nd Group Army among the four major group armies were conducting training while marching towards Xinjiang.
In addition, the 5 cavalry divisions of the 2nd Cavalry Group Army of the National Defense Force, with Ma Bufang as the commander, He Zhuguo as the deputy commander, and Tan Zixin as the chief of staff, had just been formed and immediately left for Xinjiang before they had time to undergo training.
In Wu Aihua's original plan, there was no cavalry establishment, or there could be fewer border cavalry establishments. However, after Wu Aihua took charge of the center, he discovered that there was actually a quite large cavalry establishment in the original national army series. Why only cavalry?
There are nearly 10 divisions in total, and there are also many independent cavalry brigades and cavalry regiments.
This was originally a sequelae left by Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, in order to appease the local area, Chiang Kai-shek would issue a "letter of appointment" to anyone who was strong and "obedient". To be honest, among these cavalry, except for a few troops such as Ma Zhanshan's Northeast##
In addition to the #Army (cavalry army) which still has some national consciousness, the other cavalrymen are local warlord forces. They do not do many good things, but they do a lot of burning, killing and looting.
However, Wu Aihua could not "abolish" these people because these cavalrymen did not know anything except horseback riding skills. If they were allowed to wander around the society, they would most likely cause hidden dangers to the local area.
Therefore, Wu Aihua had to form another cavalry unit.
But how to organize the cavalry is a problem.
Seeing Monk Wu Aihua's head, unable to express his emotions, the Chief of General Staff began to suggest, "President, we can consider forming cavalry, heavy artillery, and armored forces into an independent group army, directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. In this way, it can be regarded as
A mobile force in our country’s national defense force.”
After repeated studies by the high command, in addition to the air force, navy, six front armies, local garrison and reserve forces, and the coast guard, a huge "independent military group" was born in the National Defense Force!
This "independent army group" directly under the headquarters includes 3 cavalry armies, 3 armored armies, 3 artillery armies, and 5 "code-named" armies including S Army, H Army, K Army, B Army, and F Army.
.
At this point, the National Defense Force founded by Wu Aihua really has a bit of "modernization" flavor.
Modernization does not mean advanced equipment or modernization. It includes the modernization and scientificization of army building ideas and organization.
Because Wu Aihua comes from a later generation, he has analyzed war materials such as World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan War, the Anglo-Afghan War, the Middle East War, the Gulf War, etc., so his mind is filled with three-dimensional warfare of tanks, artillery fire, battleships, and aircraft;
In the organization of troops, firepower and mobility are given priority.
From the perspective of real military strategists like Jiang Baili, Wu Aihua’s previous wars were purely for throwing money away! It was completely a prodigal style of play. Of course, Wu Aihua’s national strategy, army building strategy, combat tactics, troop training, etc. were all very
Advanced and even advanced, Wu Aihua's military thinking was "more than strong" but "not soft enough".
Later, Wu Aihua gradually understood that what is suitable is the best.
This is also the reason why these "independent army groups" were successfully born before March 1939.
The commanders of the three major cavalry armies are Sun Lianzhong, Ma Bufang, and Ma Zhanshan; the deputy commanders are Zhao Chengshou, He Zhuguo, and Zheng Dazhang; and the chiefs of staff are Chen Shihao, Tan Zixin, and Men Bingyue. Except for Chen Shihao, who is the former commander of the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Forces,
The others were all former cavalry generals of the national army (the king had thought for a long time and let these historical figures shine).
Sun Lianzhong, who was first the general of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and the commander of the 30th Army of the National Army, is a strong general who dares to fight and kill; Ma Bufang, a representative of the Majia Army in Qinghai; Ma Zhanshan, an anti-Japanese hero after the September 18th Incident. Zhao Chengshou, He Zhuguo, and Zheng Dazhang respectively
He is the commander of the first, second and third cavalry corps of the national army.
In terms of establishment, Wu Aihua still advocates a large establishment: 38 people per platoon, three platoons per company, 120 people; three companies per battalion plus a cavalry artillery company (6 Type 92 infantry guns) of 500 people; three battalions per regiment, 1,500 people, three per division
The regiment plus the cavalry artillery battalion (36 Type 92 infantry guns, including the number of the cavalry artillery battery) has 5,200 men; the fifth division of each army plus the cavalry rear guard regiment has 27,000 men. The total number of the three cavalry group armies does not exceed 85,000.
The basic equipment of the cavalry is sabers, pistols, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, mg42 squad machine guns, etc. The equipment mainly highlights the two characteristics of lightness and speed.
The cavalry group army can be organized into 5 divisions, but the following troops can only be organized into 3 divisions temporarily.
The 1st Armored Group Army was restructured and expanded from the former Armored Division of the National Defense Force. It has Army Commander Zong Shaohua (three-star general), Deputy Army Commander Sun Yuantao (lieutenant general), and Chief of Staff Li Qi (lieutenant general).
The 2nd Armored Army, Commander Zheng Dongguo (three-star general), Deputy Army Commander Li Jinkun (lieutenant general), Chief of Staff Hou Jingru (lieutenant general). Zheng Dongguo is a famous general in the Anti-Japanese War and an anti-Japanese hero; Li Jinkun is the former commander of the Chahar Independent Group Army;
Hou Jingru was also a famous general in the national army. During the liberation of Southwest China in 1950, he refused to surrender to the PLA and was shot dead.
The 3rd Armed Forces Army, commander Chen Mingren (three-star general), deputy commander Zhu Huai (lieutenant general), chief of staff Guo Punian (lieutenant general). Chen Mingren was also a famous anti-Japanese general. After the first "bloody battle of Siping"
Among them, the famous Chinese general Lin Bing was no match for him; Zhu Huai was a former officer of the National Defense Forces, and Guo Punian was the former deputy commander of the Chahar Independence Army.
The artillery was also expanded into three major armies.
The 1st Artillery Group, Commander Jin Xibin (three-star general), Deputy Army Commander Song Liming (lieutenant general), Chief of Staff Wang Baoxing (lieutenant general).
The 2nd Artillery Group Army is composed of Commander Sun Yuanliang (three-star general), Deputy Commander Ou Jingxun (lieutenant general), and Chief of Staff Bao Hai (lieutenant general). Sun Yuanliang is the former commander of the 88th Division of the National Army and a famous general in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War.
His father is the National Army General Sun Zhen, his son is the famous Taiwanese actor Qin Han, and his grandson is also a Taiwanese idol star.
The 3rd Artillery Group Army is composed of commander Xiao Junhu (lieutenant general), deputy commander Xiao Dai (lieutenant general), and chief of staff Huang Yongan. Among them, Xiao Dai is the former artillery commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
There are a total of 9 artillery divisions, of which the commanders of the 1st to 6th divisions are all former artillery brigade commanders of the National Army, and the 7th to 9th divisions are the former commanders of the independent field artillery regiments of the National Army. Compared with the quick artillery talents of the National Defense Force, the National Army has many artillery generals.
He is a graduate of a military academy.
The five "code-named" group armies are "experimental" forces.
The full name of the S Group Army is the "Independent 1st (Mountain, code: s) Group Army". Its commander is Li Mo'an (three-star general), deputy commander Wang Xiao (lieutenant general), and chief of staff Cao Lin (major general). Among them, Li Mo'an is the former national
Commander of the 10th Army Division of Military Destruction and Commander of the 14th Army of the National Army. Wang Xiao was the former commander of the 071st Division of the National Defense Forces.
The full name of Group H is the "Independent 2nd (Amphibious, codename: h) Group", and its commander is Gao Bing; the full name of Group K is the "Independent 3rd (Airborne, codename: k) Group", and the full name is Cui Youxue; the full name of Group B is "
The Independent 4th (Northern, codename: b) Group Army", commander Yin Hongming; the full name of the F Group Army is the "Independent 5th (Chemical Defense, codename: f) Group Army", commander Liu Liangchao.
The commanders of the 2nd to 5th Group Armies were all division commanders under former Zhou Changbing. These guys had just been division commanders for a few months and then became corps commanders. Promotion was like a rocket ride. Therefore, no matter how they compare in military rank
Other army commanders are lower in rank, just "lieutenant general"; while the commanders of other group armies are basically "three-star generals".
Before the establishment of these "independent army groups" was completed, the establishment of a total of 24 armies of the six front armies had been completed long ago. The reorganization of the former National Army, especially the local warlords' troops, was progressing very smoothly. First, each reorganization of the old National Army
There was at least one National Defense Force company sitting on the battlefield, and no one dared to move. Secondly, Wu Aihua also knew that these people were not easy, so he was very generous in the retirement expenses.
An ordinary soldier is 100 yuan (equivalent to a buyout and will no longer enjoy relevant benefits in the future), the squad leader is 120 yuan, the deputy platoon is 150 yuan, the platoon leader is 20 yuan, the company commander is 300 yuan, the battalion commander is 600 yuan, the regiment leader is 1,200 yuan, etc.
And so on. However, for officers above the platoon leader, as long as they are military academy graduates and have no obvious bad habits, they are mostly advised to stay and be hired according to their talents after re-entering the military academy for training. As for ordinary soldiers, they will get 100
Yuan's severance fee can basically be used by the private sector to build several large tile-roofed houses, which is considered a good asset in this era.
Of course, these veterans who were forced to retire could also join the engineering corps to build roads and build factories. The engineering corps Wu Aihua built was different from the engineering corps of later generations. The engineering corps of later generations of the Chinese dynasty were affiliated with the army; while Wu Aihua
Although the engineering corps is under military management, it is of an enterprise nature. After employees join, they will have corresponding labor insurance, medical care, pension, insurance and other benefits, but these funds have to be borne by the engineering corps and the soldiers.
The engineering corps and the implementation of militarized management are nothing more than extraordinary measures in extraordinary times.
