Fang Yu cut off the cigarette in his hand and looked calm.
This is a major change for the army.
newborn!
The devil cannot remain unchanged.
In order to better fight the Japanese, change is necessary.
"Each infantry brigade is equipped with an anti-aircraft artillery battalion directly under the brigade?"
"Commander, what do you mean...to disorganize the current anti-aircraft artillery regiments and spread them into various infantry brigades?"
Sun Shaobai calculated for a while and then followed.
"No."
"The anti-aircraft artillery regiment will remain."
"The anti-aircraft artillery battalions directly under each infantry brigade are newly formed."
"The anti-aircraft artillery regiment can send some instructors to help each infantry brigade set up anti-aircraft artillery battalions..."
"Shaobai, I know what you are worried about. Are you worried that there are not enough anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns?"
"rest assured."
"Since I said so, I naturally have my own arrangements."
"As for the rest, we can talk about it later..."
Fang Yu smiled slightly.
Right now, among the explosive rewards, there are 100 Type 61k 37mm light anti-aircraft guns...
Fang Yu thought about it. An anti-aircraft artillery battalion directly under the infantry brigade was equipped with 25 61k 37mm light anti-aircraft guns. That was almost enough.
Four infantry brigades can just consume 100 Type 61k 37mm light anti-aircraft guns. This is Fang Yu's initial idea.
"Commander, according to your idea, we have a regular infantry regiment with a strength of 2,105 people, an artillery regiment with a regular strength of 1,271 people, a brigade directly under the machine gun battalion, and a brigade directly under the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, both of which have 403 people."
"There are 133 people in the security company directly under the brigade, 133 people in the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade, and 35 people in the telecommunications platoon directly under the brigade..."
"In addition to a logistics team organized according to the regular company level, there are 122 people..."
"In this way, plus the brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, cooking class directly under the brigade headquarters, communications class, etc..."
"There are almost 8,900 people..."
Zhou Weiguo thought about it secretly.
"It's 8842 people."
"I said that once the new infantry brigade is completed, it must have the strength to directly defeat a Japanese brigade on the frontal battlefield!"
"You must have such a foundation!"
Fang Yu clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the things in his pupils split instantly!
For a moment, I felt extremely irritated for no reason!
"The commander's distant view is beyond our ability to spy on..."
"Commander, if according to this plan, an infantry brigade has 8,842 personnel, once the four infantry brigades are completed, there will be more than 35,000 people..."
"Our six infantry regiments combined now only amount to more than 12,000 people..."
"This...is this equivalent to doubling the number of people on the original basis?"
"Gudong..."
The corner of Sun Shaobai's mouth twitched, and he was completely shocked at the moment.
"Forehead……"
"It's not as much as expected..."
"In my plan, the five general machine gun battalions of the machine gun reinforcement regiment will be disrupted and integrated into each infantry regiment."
"So adding the 2,000 veterans of the machine gun reinforcement regiment, it is equivalent to expanding our more than 14,000 troops into four infantry brigades with 35,000 troops..."
"It's almost equivalent to recruiting 20,000 new soldiers..."
"Although the recruitment pressure is indeed very high..."
"The difficulty of completion is relatively high..."
"And training is really stressful."
"But once it takes shape, it will greatly improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of our troops."
"Thirty-five thousand men in four infantry brigades."
"There are almost 2,000 people in the anti-aircraft artillery regiment plus the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion."
"The tank regiment, including the new batch of tanks, has about 1,500 people."
"The heavy artillery reinforcement regiment now has three more Katyusha rocket artillery battalions. On this basis, I plan to expand another Katyusha rocket artillery battalion. In addition to the original 10 heavy artillery battalions, there will be 14 battalions..."
"Abandon the heavy artillery reinforcement regiment and form a heavy artillery brigade, with 10 heavy artillery battalions plus 4 Katyusha rocket launcher battalions, almost more than 5,000 people..."
"In addition to the cavalry regiment of more than a thousand people..."
"The security battalion directly under the brigade headquarters... will not be moved for the time being. Let's wait for the appropriate opportunity to expand it into a security regiment. It cannot be expanded too harshly at one time."
"In addition to the 1,000 people from the Xulong Brigade..."
"I have calculated before that the total number of field troops is almost... 47,000 people..."
"With more than 40,000 field troops, even the 100,000 troops who encounter the Japanese on the frontal battlefield will not be in vain."
"If we insist on defending the city, it doesn't matter if the Japanese come with 200,000 soldiers. We can defeat them with one force!"
"Weiguo, Shaobai, it's not that I'm being alarmist, but the Japanese won't give us much time to prepare."
"And in recent times, we have also found some poison gas bombs...bacterial bombs..."
"The devils...have already started using this kind of poison gas bombs."
"It shouldn't be fully mature yet..."
"Once these are fully mature, the pressure we will suffer will only be greater..."
"We, Shaobai, have a long and arduous road ahead to defend our country!"
Fang Yu patted the shoulders of Zhou Weiguo and Sun Shaobai and couldn't help but sigh.
One can imagine how heavy the pressure is to support the entire Xia Kingdom with one's own efforts.
Now that you have chosen this path, you must go on it without compromise.
"Commander, I feel your ambition."
"It's just such a forced expansion. What if the Japanese suddenly organize superior forces in this area to launch a fierce attack on us?"
"Commander, our four infantry brigades will not have completed their training in the true sense by then. Most of the new recruits will be mixed in. You can imagine the combat effectiveness..."
Zhou Weiguo sighed and couldn't help but ask his own question.
Relatively speaking, this problem... is indeed a headache.
If not handled well, many problems will arise...
"So when we form these four infantry brigades, we need to focus on deployment."
"I have decided to merge the 1st Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment to form the 1st Infantry Brigade!"
"Merge the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the 4th Infantry Regiment to form the 2nd Infantry Brigade!"
"The First Infantry Brigade and the Second Infantry Brigade are each supported by veterans from two regiments, so their combat effectiveness will not be too bad."
"After filling in new recruits, the number of veterans can also be superior, and the combat effectiveness will not be affected."
"As for the third infantry brigade, it will be expanded on the basis of the fifth infantry regiment."
"The Fourth Infantry Brigade will be expanded on the basis of the Sixth Infantry Regiment."
"As a result, the combat effectiveness of the third infantry brigade and the fourth infantry brigade will be difficult to form for a period of time."
"It takes enough time to train and perform..."
"During this period, the first infantry brigade and the second infantry brigade have to take the lead..."
"So the selection of brigade commanders for the First Infantry Brigade and the Second Infantry Brigade is very critical..."
Fang Yu, the speaker, couldn't help but glance at Zhou Weiguo and Sun Shaobai, focusing on Zhou Weiguo.
