These 108 battalions will be reorganized into 15 heavy-armed synthetic battalions, and then Li Yunlong can directly command the battalion commanders of the 15 heavy-armed synthetic battalions.
"Thus."
Zhao Gang analyzed: "Then do you want to set up a group unit under the class?"
"No need to bother!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "The infantry battalion retains its original organizational structure and directly applies to the headquarters to reinstall the battalion commander of the combined battalion. He will be promoted to deputy commander of the new regiment with deputy regiment level treatment."
"Deputy leader?" Zhao Gang's expression changed.
"That's right!"
Li Yunlong said:
"I am going to apply to the headquarters to promote the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander Zheng Yu, the third battalion commander Xu Yonghai, the fourth battalion commander Chen Dugu, the fifth battalion commander Lu Yingjun and the sixth battalion commander Wei Dayong to the new regiment.
Deputy Head."
These six people have long been promoted to deputy regiment level treatment.
However, he is not the deputy leader yet.
Even people like Chu Yunfei became the deputy commander of the new regiment after defecting to the Eighth Route Army.
It is also time for these battalion commanders with outstanding military achievements to be promoted to deputy commanders of the new regiment.
These six battalion commanders, plus Chu Yunfei and Duan Peng, Li Yunlong mentally called them the Eight Great Vajras under his command.
Zhao Gang nodded. With Zhang Dabiao and his team's military exploits, there would be no problem in being promoted to regimental commander, let alone deputy commander.
Nowadays, a regiment of the Eighth Route Army has more than 160,000 people. It is very reasonable to have a few more deputy commanders.
To the Eighth Route Army, having so many men in one regiment was not something worth making a fuss about.
A division like the 129th Division, in the late stages of the Anti-Japanese War in another time and space, had a main force of an astonishing 300,000 troops.
Up to now, the establishment of the new regiment is still the Eighth Route Army's basic regiment and is not on the National Government's establishment list.
"After they are promoted to deputy commanders, let them each lead a heavy-armed combined battalion?"
Zhao Gang suddenly showed a look of astonishment. No wonder this kid wanted to cause six heavy-armed combined camps. The original reason was here.
Zhang Dabiao and the others were promoted to deputy captain. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had no choice but to apply to the headquarters.
but.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew very well that as long as they spoke, the head of the headquarters would definitely agree.
Hundreds of heavy artillery and tanks, as well as a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and combat supplies were not handed over to the headquarters in vain.
"That's right!"
Li Yunlong nodded.
then.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang jointly wrote an application report to the headquarters, and reported the idea of forming a heavy-armed synthetic battalion to the head of the headquarters.
After the headquarters received the report, after discussion with several headquarters heads, Li Yunlong was called to the headquarters for questioning.
Understand Li Yunlong’s thoughts on future wars.
In the end, the head of the headquarters approved the applications of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
The head of the headquarters is also looking forward to this heavy-armed synthetic battalion. If Li Yunlong's heavy-armed synthetic battalion does well, it will also be promoted to the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army in the future.
By then, the Eighth Route Army will have dozens or hundreds of heavy-armor combined brigades, as well as dozens or hundreds of heavy-armor combined battalions in the new regiment.
Why worry about not being able to conquer the world?
The information that the Japanese 9th Division and the 11th Division had arrived in Zhangjiakou and Shimen City was quickly spread to the New Regiment and headquarters.
At this time, the Japanese army's defense strategy was ready to come out.
Zhangjiakou and Shimen City are two important military towns as the focus of defense to resist the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Pingjin area in North China.
Then Li Yunlong's offensive plan is very clear.
The more than 200,000 troops of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were divided into two lines of attack, one along Datong to attack Zhangjiakou, one all the way out from the Zhengtai Railway, and all the way from Shimen City to Baoding.
During the offensive, the troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Jizhong and Southern Hebei Military Regions cooperated.
However, in order to prevent being flanked, the main force of the 129th Division is needed to help block the Japanese reinforcements from Central and South China that are sending reinforcements to North China.
In this battle, Li Yunlong's battle plan mainly focused on the annihilation of large corps.
But he also did not forget the special skill of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army - tactical interweaving.
Use aircraft to cover infantry, artillery and tank units, conduct frontal attacks to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and send light infantry to penetrate behind the enemy, cut off the enemy's retreat, and encircle and annihilate them.
certainly.
This is just a general strategy. When it comes to specific combat plans and emergency plans, there are still many details that need to be formulated.
But the problem is not big. After several battles in which he commanded large corps, Li Yunlong's level of commanding large corps has improved by leaps and bounds.
Although there is still room for improvement, in terms of the application of strategies and tactics in large-scale corps battles, his level is no less than that of the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Okamura Neiji.
…
Just when the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were deploying troops and making combat plans.
The aircraft of the Eighth Route Army were not idle either. In addition to daily bombing of Japanese transportation lines, they also used napalm and conventional aerial bombs to entertain the Japanese divisions newly arrived in North China.
Zhangjiakou.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the plane passed by at low altitude, the overwhelming sound of explosions sounded simultaneously.
More than a dozen Japanese Type 94 trucks were suddenly enveloped in smoke and fire, causing a large number of Japanese soldiers to suffer casualties.
Joint headquarters of the Japanese 1st Division, 26th Division and 9th Division.
Seeing the six planes of the Eighth Route Army flying away after dropping their aerial bombs, Mitsuo Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Division, Shigenori Kuroda, commander of the 26th Division, and Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi, commander of the 9th Division, suddenly cursed.
In particular, Kiichiro Higuchi, commander of the 9th Division, reacted greatly.
"idiot!"
"Where are our aviation units?"
"Why didn't I see the Locust Army aviation unit? Have they lost their courage and dared not fight against the Eighth Route Army aviation unit?"
Because among the three divisions, the 9th Division was the strongest and brought a large number of heavy weapons.
Therefore, Kiichiro Higuchi temporarily served as the commander of the joint headquarters of the three divisions.
Although the 1st Division is also a Category A division, it has long been crippled by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Even if its strength is increased, the total strength is only more than 10,000, and its combat effectiveness is not strong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 9th Division has already encountered several waves of bombing by the Eighth Route Army from Peking to Zhangjiakou, and now it is still being bombed when it reaches Zhangjiakou.
This made Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro, who was accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in Manchuria, unable to accept this gap.
The locust army has always bullied the Chinese army and people. When will it be the Chinese army’s turn to bully the locust army?
"This is General Okamura's order."
Mitsuo Nakazawa said:
"Although the 6th Flying Division of the North China Front has been formed, General Okamura ordered them to stand still."
The 9th Division has only been bombed for a few waves and can't stand it anymore?
In the past two months, our 1st Division has been visited by aircraft from the Eighth Route Army every few days. Do you know how our 1st Division has come here in the past two months?
"Perhaps General Okamura is planning to use the 6th Flying Division as his trump card."
Kuroda Shigetori sighed and said.
He and Mitsuo Nakazawa applied for air support from the North China Front, but were rejected by General Okamura.
It could only be bombed. Later, Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetoku Kuroda moved their troops to the city to be with the Chinese people, thus avoiding being bombed.
But once the 9th Division arrived, the small Zhangjiakou could not accommodate so many people, so the 9th Division had no choice but to be bombed.
Eighth Route Army aircraft dispatched more than 20 bombing sorties every day, causing hundreds of casualties in the 9th Division every day.
At this rate, the 9th Division would be blown up by Eighth Route Army planes before it even entered the battlefield.
Higuchi Kiichiro was furious.
Since it was General Okamura's order, Higuchi Kiichiro had nothing to do.
"What Mr. Higuchi doesn't know is that these Eighth Route Army aircraft are extremely powerful. 70 fighter jets of the 1st Joint Air Force and the 60th Air Force in Central China were wiped out in one battle, while only 3 Eighth Route Army aircraft were lost."
Mitsuo Nakazawa told the truth.
Higuchi Kiichiro was suddenly shocked. He had been leading his troops to garrison in Manchuria and was not aware of the war situation in the pass.
This kind of disastrous defeat is generally not widely publicized internally by the Japanese army because it will affect the morale of the troops.
"Are the Eighth Route Army's aircraft so powerful?"
A look of surprise appeared on Higuchi Kiichiro's face. No wonder General Okamura did not dare to send out the 6th Flying Division.
Sending out the 6th Flying Division was tantamount to giving lives to the Eighth Route Army.
But soon, Higuchi Kiichiro's eyes turned sharp: "The Eighth Route Army's planes are certainly powerful, but Nakazawa-kun and Kuroda-kun just let the Eighth Route Army's planes bomb them without fighting back? This is not the Bushido of the Japanese Locust Army."
"Our two divisions lack anti-aircraft weapons."
Mitsuo Nakazawa said, if you can shoot down an Eighth Route Army plane, who would want to be bombed?
Even the aviation units in central China were defeated. Their two divisions didn't even have a single plane. How could they fight back?
"We must not sit still and wait for death. We must learn to take the initiative when facing Eighth Route Army aircraft!"
Higuchi Kiichiro narrowed his eyes:
"Nakazawa-kun, Kuroda-kun, gather all the anti-aircraft weapons of your two divisions, including all heavy machine guns and light machine gun groups, and wait for notification."
"Higuchi-kun, what do you want to do?"
Kuroda Shigenori was suddenly startled and asked hurriedly.
"What?"
Higuchi Kiichiro said in a stern tone: "Of course, I want to teach the Eighth Route Army's aviation a lesson, shoot down a few Eighth Route Army aircraft, and let the Eighth Route Army know that our 9th Division is not someone to be trifled with!"
"What's your plan?"
Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetori Kuroda both looked shocked and asked quickly.
