Chapter 278 The Tenth Theater

Because of the industrial foundation of Rehe, it is determined that it is impossible for Rehe's military industry to have too much output, such as medium tanks. Although Rehe has obtained a large number of talents in metallurgy from Europe and metallurgical equipment and precision machine tools from the United States and the Soviet Union, the scale output of Baotou Steel Factory after all Limited, it can be said that it is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu's definition of the Rehe military industry is to take a high-end line, because during World War II, many weapons were improved through actual combat, and more aimed at the improvement and strengthening of weapons of the belligerent enemies. The idea of weapon development of this battle mode has always dominated the whole war. In the process of fighting.

It can be said that the development of weapons is inextricably related to the theoretical ideas of the era of war. Zhang Xuewu is familiar with the main line of weapons development in later generations and understands the advantages and disadvantages of some famous equipment, so he can directly launch a design scheme without large-scale actual combat tests. This is another country. What the family does not dare to emulate is that soldiers and national affairs, the rise and fall of the nation, weapons are the main source of combat effectiveness of the armed forces, so no one dares to be careless about weapons. Although a new weapon may not be able to reverse the outcome of a war, it can affect the progress of a battle, and a heavy The necessary battle can determine the strategic balance of the warring parties.

Back to the underground central command center in Baotou, Zhang Xuewu looked around the generals of the Rehe faction, Hao Wenbin, Chen Yuxing, Li Xinkai, Li Anguo, Wang Chuang, Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, Hu Zhenglong, Gao Zhihang, Guo Xiangfei, Zhanyang, Tang Ziqiang, Zhang Tianpeng, Huang Tao, Ye Yunfei, Zhang Lingfu and others all participated. This meeting of senior officers of the Rehe Legion was added.

Zhang Xuewu opened a document with top-secret words and said, "The shame of Nanjing is not only the shame of Zhang Xuewu alone, but also the shame of the whole [***] team. What do the European and American powers see? They all see is interests, and they all see is strength. If they don't have strength, they don't have the right to speak. Now I and the negotiating delegation of the national political axe are negotiating in Shanghai. They say that I have repeatedly revised the text of their motion. The purpose is to delay the time, and I said that I have proposed to give him three months to withdraw the army. In preparation, we provide supplies and supplies, and also require the Central China to send troops to withdraw from the strategic point near Xuzhou. Now I am still constantly transporting a large amount of materials and ammunition through Shanghai. My purpose is already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and the sixteen countries in the nine-nation convention organizations will work together. More than 20,000 troops were sent to undertake the task of defending and monitoring the unarmed areas of Shanghai and Nanjing, which is the biggest insult to us. Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China. In addition to China's armed forces, my marines and destroyers can stay in Nanjing under the pretext of adding water and coal, and The Japanese army's marines can be openly stationed in Shanghai. What we need to do now is to be fierce and give me a fierce blow! We love peace, but we are absolutely not afraid of war! We have blood to sprinkle and life to burn! But every inch of land in China has no right to give up.

Zhang Xuewu waved the document with his hand and said, "According to the news from the Wuhan camp, Chairman Jiang of the Supreme Military Commission is preparing to set up Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu as the tenth war zone. I am the commander-in-chief of the tenth war zone. All the troops of the Rehe Legion are included in the battle sequence of the 10th Theater Command. According to the Order of the Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, the Ministry of Military Affairs has reorganized and adjusted the number of our 10th Theater Command. Except for the honorary first division and the Hu Ben Division awarded by the Ministry of Military Administration, the rest of the departments are all included in the new combat force sequence of the Youth Army. Next, Lieutenant General Hao Wenbin, the deputy commander of the war zone, will read out the composition and personnel appointment of my tenth war zone troop number.

Zhang Xuewu's words made everyone below prick up their ears almost at the same time for fear of missing a word. You should know that the step of upgrading from the legion to the war zone is really not small, but the big guys are also like a mirror in their hearts, because the national political axe always reaches out to the Rehe side, and I'm afraid that the national political axe can give There is only a pile of letters of appointment, just like the establishment of the honorary division given by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. Only the establishment is in place, one person has not fired a shot, and the establishment of this empty division is made by the most elite officers and soldiers of tens of thousands of Rehe Legion in Nanjing with their lives and blood.

Hao Wenbin took a deep breath and said, "Major General Chen Yuxing was transferred to the position of the director of the armor training base of the 10th Theater, Major General Li Xinkai was the Chief of Staff of the 10th Theater, Major General Huang Tao was the General of the 10th Theater, Major General Xu Guohui was the commander of the Hu Ben Division, Major General Guo Xiangfei was the commander of the Honorary Division, and Lieutenant General Wang Chuang was the new editor of the Youth Army. The commander of the First Army and the commander of the First Division, Major General Zhao Xinyu is the commander of the Second Division of the New First Army of the Youth Army, Major General Hu Zhenglong is the commander of the Third Division of the New First Army of the Youth Army, Lieutenant General Zhan Yang is the commander of the New Second Army and the Fourth Division of the Youth Army, Major General Zhang Lingfu is the commander of the Fifth Division of the New Second Army of the Youth Army, and Major General Ye Yunfei The commander of the new Sixth Division of the Youth Army, Major General Tang Ziqiang is the commander of the New First Armored Division of the Youth Army, Major General Li Anguo is the commander of the New Second Armored Division of the Youth Army, and Major General Zhang Tianpeng is the commander of the artillery in the 10th Theater Command. He is under the jurisdiction of five field heavy artillery brigades and ten field artillery regiments, including the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth artillery. 105mm self-propelled hail rocket regiment, Major General Gao Zhihang is the air force director of the 10th theater.

Hao Wenbin looked around at the excited people and closed the document solemnly: "The above troops have been supplemented and expanded on the original basis of each department. Next, please ask Chief of Staff Li Xinkai to read the establishment of each department."

Li Xinkai walked to the stage with a little excitement and took over the file handed over by Hao Wenbin. He took a deep breath and said, "In order to be suitable for the weapon application characteristics of the troops in the 10th Theater, and to ensure the output of firepower and the principle of the concentrated use of superior forces, the Hu Ben Division and the Honorary Division are organized as five brigades, of which the three brigades are infantry brigades. The brigade has jurisdiction over two armored infantry regiments and mountain artillery battalions. One brigade is a mechanized brigade, equipped with a tank regiment and an armored infantry regiment. It is equipped with a field artillery brigade, equipped with 150mm field heavy howitzers, 105mm howitzers, and 75mm mountain artillery battalion each. The division has jurisdiction over automobile regiments, engineering regiments, and high There are 42,000 officers and soldiers in the artillery battalion, armored reconnaissance battalion, chemical defense battalion, aircraft repair battalion and field hospital.

As soon as Li Xin's voice fell, everyone present looked at Xu Guohui and Guo Xiangfei with envy. Xu Guohui was nine. At that time, he followed Zhang Xuewu's hardcore subordinates. During the period of Chengde's death, he made great contributions. Compared with the information, the whole tenth war zone is probably only a few people, such as Wang Chuang, Li Xinkai and Zhao Xinyu. Therefore, Xu Guohui was expected to be the division commander of Hu Ben.

Guo Xiangfei was a new hero in the defense of Nanjing. One of the four heroes died for the country in the defense of Rehe. His mother received four death notices in one day. In order to defeat the fifth infantry brigade of the whole army in the defense of Nanjing, Zhang Xuewu exceptionally promoted Guo Xiangfei from the major to the major, and general Guo Xiangfei was given the responsibility of forming an honorary division to restore the capital of the country. Many people can't say anything else on this issue. It can be said that the old Guo family has shed enough blood for the hot river!

However, there is also a dark horse out of the siege, because I don't know whether it is the negligence of the Supreme Military Commission or the mistake of the Ministry of Military Affairs? I don't know why Zhang Xuewu is still only a lieutenant general? Or is the Jiang Gong in Nanjing for the purpose of protecting and caring for Zhang Xuewu? Are you afraid of the painful consequences of Mu Xiu's destruction in the forest wind? In a word, Zhang Xuewu is a lieutenant general, but there are more than three lieutenant generals among his subordinates. Among them, Hao Wenbin, deputy commander of the war zone, is a lieutenant general, Wang Chuang, commander of the First Army and commander of the First Division of the Youth Army, is a lieutenant general, Zhan Yang, commander of the Second Army and commander of the Fourth Division of the Youth Army, is a lieutenant general, and the Supreme Military Commission. The so-called intention is too clear!

Li Xinkai looked around and coughed and continued: "All divisions of the Youth Army are four brigades, of which three brigades are infantry brigades, one brigades are mechanized brigades, the tank regiments and armored infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, and the division's artillery regiments are equipped with 105mm howitzer battalions and two 75mm mountain artillery battalions. The division is directly under the engineering battalion, automobile battalion, There are more than 26,000 people in the aircraft repair battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, armored reconnaissance battalion, cavalry battalion and anti-chemical battalion.

Zhang Xuewu's compilation for the various departments of Rehe is actually clear at a glance. Its tactical characteristics correspond to the division of the Japanese army. Zhang Xuewu used a large number of artillery purchased from Europe and the artillery produced by Soviet aid and Baotou to fully equipped it, so that his own artillery output can be guaranteed. More than seven times that of the Japanese military armor field division, Zhang Xuewu is not himself. He attaches great importance to the construction and supply of logistics. A large number of ammunition production lines and a large number of raw materials purchased from the Soviet Union or through the Soviet Union have made Zhang Xuewu hoard a surprising number of various calibers of ammunition. In terms of hoarding raw materials and overall imports, Zhou Ying, who is in the United States, can be said to have made great contributions.

It can be said that at the beginning of the war, the division, brigade and wing of the Japanese army were very uncomfortable with the [***] team at the campaign level.

Many people are always used to the division of the Japanese army for short, so there are always a few divisions or even two or three armies that are defeated by one of the Japanese army. Zhang Xuewu clearly said that the strength of his armored field division can reach more than 24,000 people. If it is strengthened before the war, it will reach 20,000. More than eight thousand people.
