There are more than 50,000 troops, almost as many as one regiment.
Forced by the situation.
The four infantry brigade commanders were also carefully selected by Fang Yu.
There is no problem with Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade. Zhou Weiguo's commanding and combat capabilities are obvious to all. With him leading the 1st Infantry Brigade, he will definitely not be bad.
As for the former commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Cyclops, he is now serving as deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade.
One-eyed dragon has been following Fang Yu for the longest time. He dares to fight and charge forward in battles, and has good abilities.
But it is really difficult for him to command an infantry brigade of more than 8,000 people now. It would also be good for him to have some experience in the position of deputy brigade commander.
Chu Yunfei, commander of the Second Infantry Brigade, this is a variable.
Originally, Fang Yu wanted to make Zhang Dabiao the commander of the second infantry brigade, but it happened that Chu Yunfei came to his team at this time.
How could Fang Yu, such a powerful Huangpu general, be left alone and unused?
Let him serve as the commander of the second infantry brigade, which is worthy of his name.
The 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades have the best composition. They were expanded from the original 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments. They are all equipped with AK47 assault rifles. They have a larger proportion of veterans and naturally have the strongest combat effectiveness.
Fang Yu had high hopes for the two infantry brigades.
Zhang Dabiao retreated to the next best position and served as the commander of the third infantry brigade, while Cheng Xiazi served as the deputy commander of the third infantry brigade.
Cheng Xiazi is good at leading troops in battles, but sometimes he is too rigorous and lacks a bit of aggressiveness.
If you lead troops for training, Cheng Xiazi can be entrusted with important tasks.
But now the troops are about to set off to fight the Japanese. As a commander, what can I do if I don’t have a little bit of initiative?
So Fang Yu arranged for Zhang Dabiao to be the commander of the third infantry brigade and Cheng Xiazi to be the deputy brigade commander.
The Third Infantry Brigade was expanded from the original Fifth Infantry Regiment, and the proportion of veterans is not large. Fortunately, all infantry are equipped with AK47 assault rifles, and their combat effectiveness is still guaranteed.
The Fourth Infantry Brigade was reorganized from the original Sixth Infantry Regiment...
The combat effectiveness should be the weakest, and because there are not enough AK47 assault rifles, the fourth infantry brigade can only be equipped with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.
Relatively speaking, it is inferior in terms of firepower, and its combat effectiveness needs to be improved.
Letting Liu Zhihui, the former commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, serve as the commander of the Fourth Infantry Brigade is also Fang Yu's trust in the younger generation of commanders.
Liu Zhihui and Zhou Weiguo are somewhat similar in terms of commanding operations, they are stable, but they do not lack surprising moves.
The main reason why Li Daben was appointed as the deputy commander of the Fourth Infantry Brigade was because the Fourth Infantry Brigade was originally expanded from the Sixth Infantry Regiment, and the original commander of the Sixth Infantry Regiment was Li Daben.
The four infantry brigades... basically don't have much of a problem.
Although there are a large proportion of new soldiers, this is an era of hot weapons, not an era of cold weapons where you can bend a bow and shoot a big eagle.
As long as you are not stupid, there will definitely be no problem for recruits to learn to shoot within a week.
Building an army in one month is never a joke.
Besides that, the biggest change is probably the formation of the heavy artillery brigade and the anti-aircraft artillery brigade.
The heavy artillery brigade was reorganized on the basis of the original heavy artillery reinforcement regiment, with the addition of a Katyusha rocket launcher battalion and a heavy artillery battalion.
This makes the current heavy artillery brigade use a total of 11 heavy artillery battalions and 4 Katyusha rocket artillery battalions...
Equipped with 87 heavy artillery pieces of various types and 40 Katyusha rocket launchers!
Once the formation is set up for bombing, the scene... can be imagined to be wonderful.
Fang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his thoughts diverging little by little...
The anti-aircraft artillery brigade has three anti-aircraft artillery regiments and a total of nine anti-aircraft artillery battalions. Its main equipment is 35 88mm anti-aircraft guns and 50 14.5mm quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns...
Originally, there were only 25 88mm anti-aircraft guns left, but this time 10 more were installed, which just happened to be a supplement.
The tank regiment now became two...
The 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Tank Regiment.
Mainly because this explosion resulted in the acquisition of 100 Sherman tanks.
All 100 Sherman tanks are equipped in the Second Tank Regiment, which enhances the mobility and explosive power of the tanks!
Two tank regiments, almost more than two hundred tanks...
Among them, heavyweight explosive tanks such as Tiger tanks and Sherman medium tanks account for more than half.
Normally, a Japanese tank regiment only has about sixty tanks, and most of them are small tanks like the Type 95 light tank.
Even the Japanese Type 97 medium tanks are not powerful enough to fire a few shots in front of Tiger tanks and Sherman tanks.
Just crush.
Fang Yu was confident that after the First Tank Regiment and the Second Tank Regiment were completely formed, they could launch a battle on the plain and directly crush the collective attack of the five Japanese tank regiments!
Thousands of opportunities!
It's already taking shape.
"In addition, the Xulong Flying Group's current number of fighter aircraft has reached 42 sorties!"
"There are 22 fighter jets, including 12 Mustang fighter jets and 10 Zero fighter jets!"
"There are 20 bombers, including 10 B-17 heavy bombers and 10 Junkers medium bombers..."
"In terms of quantity, it completely exceeds the size of a Japanese flying brigade..."
"Almost equivalent to the size of four Japanese squadrons?"
"But the fighters and bombers of the Xulong Flying Group are the most advanced..."
"Needless to say, the Mustang fighter jet is world-class..."
"There are not many Zero fighters in the Japanese air force..."
"Normally speaking, if you go out fully armed, you can fight against a Japanese flying group..."
"In addition to the assistance of the anti-aircraft artillery brigade, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion under each infantry brigade is also equipped with some 61k 37mm light anti-aircraft guns..."
"But once the number of fighter planes dispatched by the Japanese at one time exceeds one flight group... there may be some pressure..."
"The number of fighter planes is considered to be the largest among all the Xia Kingdom's troops."
"But compared with the Japanese, it's still not enough... not enough..."
"A rough estimate is that the Japanese have at least two thousand fighter planes of all types in the Xia Kingdom..."
"Although many of them are transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft..."
"But the number of fighters and bombers is at least a thousand."
"And that's just an underestimation."
"The devil's industrial development has now reached its peak..."
"If they go all out to build airplanes, the Japanese can produce a terrifying number of more than 10,000 airplanes a year..."
"In industry, the gap is huge..."
"To defeat the Japanese, we must not only defeat the army... but also the navy and air force!"
“There is still a long way to go!”
"The Xulong Flying Brigade still needs to continue to expand..."
"We previously hired 100 pilots from the Central Military Army..."
"Now they are all recruited to become instructors at aviation schools."
"It's not that these pilots obtained from the Central Military Forces cannot be allowed to fly directly on the plane to fight, but... there are still some risks."
"It would be more appropriate to let them serve as instructors at the aviation school."
