My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 455: Troop Reorganization
At the end of the meeting, the two sides finally reached an agreement that the United States would provide weapons and equipment, the British would provide food and military supplies, and China would still contribute.

Since the matter is so important, neither side has made too much publicity. In name, it is only to strengthen and maintain the defense of northern Myanmar.

At least until now, the specific situation in Chongqing is not very clear, but if the last layer of fig leaf is torn off, then some people will be charged with treason and abandonment of the Lord.

After the meeting, Liao Mingyu continued to stay in India for a few more days, and he didn't let go until the moment before all the aid materials were in place and loaded.

No wonder he was so worried, the main reason is that the assistance provided by Stilwell this time is so tempting that no one would dare
In terms of light weapons, there are more than 5000 Garand rifles and M3 submachine guns, as well as 1500 12.7 caliber M2 heavy machine guns, 30 hand grenades, hundreds of tons of ammunition of each caliber, and a considerable number of flamethrowers, blasting tubes, and rocket launchers. Wait…

It took a lot of effort to transport this batch of weapons and ammunition to the front line. This is because Liao Mingyu rejected the old-fashioned Springfield rifle, otherwise the number would be even greater.

But for the Yankees, this is just a normal ratio of weapons for an individual soldier, and only they can have such a big hand.

The heavy weapons are even more dazzling. There are 114 M155 24mm howitzers newly landed, 101 M105 60mm howitzers, and countless mortars of various calibers and a large amount of ammunition. Be an American heavy firepower division.

The Armored Forces also gave 15 early models of short-barreled Shermans, which were still old 75mm tank guns. Compared with the A3E8 model that Liao Mingyu exchanged from the system in terms of performance, there was a lot of difference. More than enough.

Stilwell spent a lot of money, in addition to tanks, some armored personnel carriers and some equipment consultants were used to teach Chinese soldiers the use and maintenance of American weapons.

Originally, a large part of these weapons were prepared by Roosevelt to support the Chinese battlefield, but due to some ulterior reasons, Stilwell, the military distribution officer, "secretly operated" to change the direction of transportation, and the feedback documents to the superiors were also reasonable. , most people can't find any problems.

Anyway, it's all for the Huaxia people, who is it not for?Maybe the President will do the same after seeing the achievements he has made in Myanmar.

It's just that when the "peanut" in Chongqing reacts, maybe he will jump around and scold Xipi again.Haha... Thinking of this, Stilwell couldn't help laughing out loud. Wouldn't it be happier to be able to present a dish to the opponent than to win a battle?
……

"So... My friend, goodbye, maybe this will be the last time we meet."

At Ramgarh Airport, Smith smiled and waved goodbye to Liao Mingyu who was about to board the plane.

"Huh? Is this going to go back to China?" Liao Mingyu asked.

"Yes, my mission is basically completed, and it's time to retire. I have been in this rainforest for two years, and if I don't leave, my knee will be disabled."

Smith shrugged his shoulders and made a joke, taking off his hat to reveal his gray hair. He is almost 60 this year, and he is already tired of life in the war field. It is time to return to China to enjoy his old age.

However, Smith was also secretly thankful. Fortunately, he made the right investment and bet the right treasure at the beginning. Otherwise, how could he return to China so quickly. The young Huaxia commander in front of him really brought him many surprises.

"Then congratulations old man, thank you for your help during this time, but unfortunately there is no champagne here, otherwise I really want to have a drink with you."

Liao Mingyu sincerely blessed.Although this old guy has always been a purposeful merchant, he was still conscientious in the transportation of materials in the past.

Then again, no matter what the purpose is, at least they helped you when you were in trouble, and no matter what, you should say thank you.

"Haha, maybe there will be a chance in the future, um... I hope you can use that batch of equipment to teach those Japanese monkeys a good lesson."

Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Smith looked around for a while, and quietly leaned forward and whispered: "Actually, I know your ambitions, you will not be willing to be under someone's orders all the time, in fact, this time is also considered a Your chance...isn't it?"

Liao Mingyu was obviously taken aback for a moment, but then covered it up with a smile, and answered the wrong question: "Maybe we really have a chance to meet."

Before the other party could speak again, he waved his hand and boarded the plane without looking back.

The two engines of the c47 transport plane made a huge noise, and it slid forward with the heavy fuselage. After a certain distance of acceleration, the plane finally left the ground and faced the air.

"Jun Zuo, it's cold on the plane, why don't you put on a blanket?"

Hao Zhigang just handed over a military blanket thoughtfully, while Liao Mingyu, who was sitting on the seat, just nodded slightly, stared out the window and remained silent for a long time.

It seems that we have to be more careful in the future. These Americans have more or less guessed their intentions, and maybe they will make something out of it.

But they never thought of their ultimate goal. They might just be ambitious warlords who support their troops and self-respect. After all, there are too many such people in China today.

After going back, the reorganization of the troops has to speed up. It feels uncomfortable to be stuck, even if it is just a possibility.

……

At present, the established units under the 88th Army include the Honorable Third Division, the 200th Division, and the New 5th Division. If you add the Air Force, the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army and those supplementary regiments, the number of the entire army has exceeded [-].In order to better command and control, the reorganization of troops is imperative.

As the commander of the army, Fan Shaozeng has not been idle these few days. Together with Meng Fan, he is writing paperwork, making schedules, and selecting suitable officers according to the existing positions of each army. He is so busy Paste the back.

And now with the assistance of Yankee weapons and equipment, the difficulty of reorganization will be greatly reduced.

The weapon ratio of the troops is generally in accordance with the original standard, with only slight adjustments.It is still a three-three system, with 12 infantry squads and four combat teams, seven Garand rifles, two M3 submachine guns, one MG3 general-purpose machine gun, one shotgun and the squad leader's M1 carbine.

The infantry platoon consisted of three squads, with an additional three-man demolition team equipped with a bazooka and two M3 submachine guns.

The company level consists of three infantry platoons, with an additional mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun platoon equipped with three M1 60mm small steel guns and three M2 12.7mm heavy machine guns. A sniper team, specially selected soldiers with good marksmanship, has a kar4 equipped with a 98x sight, and can wait for opportunities in battle.In addition to the cooking class and medical class... the number of people is about 180.

The battalion level consists of three infantry companies, and the supporting weapons have been strengthened. An additional heavy machine gun company, an artillery battery and a battle anti-aircraft battery are added, equipped with 12 M2 heavy machine guns, 12 81mm medium mortars and There are 6 pak40-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and a transport platoon responsible for the transport of heavy weapons. The total number of people is about 700.

As the largest independent combat unit, the firepower at the regiment level has also been strengthened a lot. In addition to the original 12 Bofors 75 mountain guns, the three infantry battalions and the regimental artillery battalion also added six 6mm M105 howitzers. There are about 101 troops directly under the upper regiment headquarters, such as the engineering company, communication company, transportation company, etc.
