In late May 1937, the two parties finally reached a formal agreement, which was not limited to the reorganization of the Red Army. Even Germany and the Soviet Union were involved. And half of Hu Weidong's proposal was implemented. Historically, "the "unconventional agreement" only appeared during the War of Liberation.
The concept of "organizer" appeared in advance in this time and space...
Compared with the "A Division", the strongest division-level force in the original **, organized by the 3rd Brigade and the 6th Regiment, the basic strength of the "Reorganized Division" organized by the 3rd Brigade and the 9th Regiment is significantly larger, and the division headquarters can also directly manage a special agent.
Regiments and "special forces" such as artillery, baggage troops, engineers, air defense troops, armored troops, etc., which are organized at the maximum regiment level, can have at most one of each type. Theoretically the strongest "integrated division" has 9 infantry regiments and direct troops under its jurisdiction.
There is an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, a special agent regiment, an engineering regiment, a baggage regiment, and an armored regiment each belonging to the division. In addition, there are also telecommunications brigade, field hospitals, special operations teams, etc., with a total strength of 30,000 to 50,000 people (depending on the regiment-level troops).
It depends on the organization of the army. Generally speaking, the better the equipment, the fewer the number of people.), a permanent division of the Japanese can be exploded. However, with China’s current national strength, division-level troops are assigned armored regiments, air defense regiments and even baggage regiments.
Engineer regiments are a luxury, and an artillery regiment is considered the elite of the elite. According to the minimum standards urgently formulated by the Military Commission, a division only needs to have 9 infantry regiments, a special agent regiment, at least one company, and 12 artillery pieces (not
Artillery units (including mortars) have automatic weapons (light machine guns or submachine guns) at the squad level, heavy machine guns at the company level (or machine gun platoon or machine gun platoon at the battalion level), and mortars at the battalion (or regiment level).
There is a mortar company at the first level), sufficient rifles (without having to equip some cold weapons such as swords and spears to fill up the number), and the total force is not less than 20,000. It can be called an integrated division....
..
The reason why it is said to be half implemented is because Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to abolish the number of miscellaneous army units was firmly resisted by various local factions. For example, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army from the Northwest Army was said to be an army, but in fact there was only one division below it (later
After Pang Bingxun was promoted to the commander of the army, there was still only one division below him...). Calculated according to the establishment of the reorganized division, he could only be a brigade commander. But if Pang Bingxun, an army lieutenant general, was to be a brigade commander, he
How can it be accepted? Therefore, it is natural to firmly oppose it, and the attitude of other local warlords is similar. Only the 29th Army is neither short of money nor short of men (others such as the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northwest Army are short of money.
Some of them were short of both money and men.) expressed their support, because Song Zheyuan could recruit troops to fill up the army, or even expand it further. As for the Central Army, Chiang Kai-shek also did not have the financial resources to recruit all the more than one million people.
The method of reorganizing divisions was expanded. Therefore, the original A division, B division and C division were eventually retained, but certain adjustments were also made. The A division was composed of 3 brigades and 6 regiments, with a strength of 12,000-
15,000; the B division has 2 brigades and 4 regiments, with 8,000 to 12,000 men; the C division has no brigades, and directly manages 3 infantry regiments, with 5,000 to 8,000 men.
Among the **, those expanded into reorganized divisions include the 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division, the three historical "German Arms Divisions", as well as Hu Zongnan's 1st Division of the 1st Army, the core division of the Civil Engineering Department.
The two main divisions of the 18th Army, the 11th Division and the 14th Division, were later merged into the 51st Division and the 58th Division of the 74th Army. As well as the 2nd Division, 3rd Division, and 4th Division, which were also direct descendants of the Central Army.
There are 9 divisions in total, with a total strength of more than 300,000. Among the miscellaneous armies, only the 38th Division of the 29th Army (Zhang Zizhong is the division commander) has been reorganized into a reorganized division, totaling ten. In addition, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps and the Tax Police Corps
Although these two special units of the regiment have not been transformed into integrated divisions, they are not weaker than ordinary integrated divisions in terms of strength and equipment.
Among the ten reorganized divisions in ** (in fact, the teaching corps and tax police corps are better equipped than all reorganized divisions), the 36th Division, which is almost all equipped with German weapons, is the best equipped, but due to the long teacher
Chen Mingren unexpectedly returned (Note 1). The 88th Division's military discipline and training, which had declined rapidly during Sun Yuanliang's leadership, rapidly improved, and it became the division-level unit with the most combat effectiveness among the Central Army...
The most frustrating thing is the Tax Police Corps, which was originally one of the country's most elite troops. Although Sun Liren did not suffer much trouble after being released by the Red Army, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek had taken away control of the Tax Police Corps, and
His crony Huang Jie was appointed as the head of the general regiment. From then on, the situation of the tax police regiment deteriorated day by day. Fortunately, Sun Liren was not discouraged and did his best to train the 4th Division, which had just been rebuilt before his return.
It quickly became an elite force, and because of Sun Liren's great progress in strategic and tactical skills during his capture, this force is now more powerful than his original 4th Division.
As for the Red Party, according to the agreement, the main forces of the Red Army in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Qinghai and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base areas were unified and reorganized into the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, also known as the Eighth Route Army, referred to as the Eighth Route Army, with the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and political commissar.
The candidates are the same as in history, with 4 divisions under its jurisdiction, except for the 3 divisions in history (the personnel arrangement is basically the same as in history, except for the 129th Division. Because Zhang Hao was transferred to the 15th Army, Deng Gong became the division in advance.
Political Commissar.), there is also an additional 125th Division. The personnel are mainly part of the former Ma Jiajun, the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army soldiers who have been recruited by the Red Army in the past few months, but the backbone is still more than a thousand old Red Army soldiers who have been tested by the Long March. The division commander is
Xu Xiangqian (top leader), the deputy division commander is Xiao Jinguang, and the political commissar is Tan Zheng.
These four divisions are all reorganized divisions. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek also gave the Eighteenth Group Army the establishment of five security brigades (basically one security brigade in each province, and the number may not be smaller than that of the C division, but the military pay depends entirely on the province)
The total strength of the Eighth Route Army has exceeded 150,000. It seems to be a type B group army, but in fact it has more troops than most type A group armies, and its combat effectiveness is higher.
Needless to say…
Note 1: Historically, Chen Mingren had to be refrigerated for more than a year before he could go out to lead troops again, and he was still downgraded. However, in this time and space, many senior generals in the country were killed by Hu Weidong, leaving many vacancies. Now is the time to recruit people.
Lao Jiang, who knew Chen Mingren's military talents well, sent this unruly guy back to his old army. It is said that Lao Jiang always admired Chen Mingren, but this guy was so capable of offending people that Lao Jiang spent all day long from morning to night
All I hear are bad words about him, which makes Chen Mingren always ups and downs, making it difficult for him to be reused... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at (.)
