My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

According to the current production speed of the shipyard, it would take at least two months to complete the construction of a transport ship and launch it into the water, which is still too slow.

The only way is to use points to upgrade the sub-base as soon as possible. When the sub-base level is upgraded, the level of the shipyard will also increase accordingly, so that the scale and production efficiency can reach the ideal state.

So in the next period of time, Liao Mingyu temporarily closed all the production lines of the main base weapons factory, and increased the mining work in the mining area on the other side.

So far, the base has a total of five large mines, mainly iron, tin, and copper mines, as well as a shale oil extraction well, which can provide the base with tens of thousands of points every day.

However, the consumption of the entire expeditionary force system is also huge, especially the development of the base area requires huge resources and equipment support, and these things can only be exchanged for points.

At present, in order to quickly improve the level of the sub-base and shipyard, we can only suspend the production and development of the Heihe base and do our best to accumulate points to upgrade the sub-base.

……

During this period of time, the army will also usher in the third military reorganization, and Fan Shaozeng is still the apparent commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. The commander of the New 88th Army is temporarily held by Long Wenwen, who also serves as the honorary commander of the Third Division.

The 88th Army has jurisdiction over the 200th Division, the 50th Division, the Honorable Third Division, Krupp's First Heavy Artillery Brigade and an army-affiliated rocket artillery regiment, plus engineering, medical, and logistics troops, with a total of more than 9 people in the army.

The soldiers' individual weapons are still mainly M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles. The continuous firepower of the squad is still the MG3 universal machine gun. A small number of STG44 assault rifles are also installed to increase the firepower between squads.

In order to reduce the logistical burden, the Thompson and Butter submachine guns that fired .45 bullets were basically eliminated by the main force, leaving them for the use of second-line personnel and logistics soldiers.

At present, there will be almost no large-scale battles. The troops will implement streamlined command and eliminate some unnecessary establishments. The division of grassroots troops will be more detailed and the division of labor will be clear. Most of them will be based on company and battalion level units for intermittent battles. .

However, in order to ensure the firepower and logistics of the troops, the entire army added a large number of baggage troops and transport vehicles, almost forming a 1:1 ratio with the main front-line forces.

For example, the Honorable Third Division has a total of 18,000 people, while the three main regiments and artillery regiments combined have only more than 9,000 real front-line combat troops, and the rest are basically logistics personnel.

Take the current firepower ratio of each unit of the expeditionary force. If the number and ratio of logistics personnel cannot be guaranteed, it will be difficult to exert full combat effectiveness.

Therefore, logistics issues are also an important criterion for measuring the strength of an army, especially the expeditionary force that currently relies more on firepower.

Fang Jingyao's new army was officially renamed as the 89th Expeditionary Force. The main force consists of three infantry divisions: 201, 202, and 203, an artillery brigade, and a rocket artillery regiment. The entire army has about 7 people.

The 89th Army is mainly a mixed light force. Each division also has a mountain artillery unit with good firepower, focusing on jungle and mountain operations.

After experiencing the battle in Ayeyarwaddy Province, although the three divisions suffered heavy losses, they also accumulated rich combat experience. After several months of supplementary rest, the combat effectiveness of the troops has returned to its original state, and its combat effectiveness is that of the new army. It will be a few levels higher in a while. Chen Jize, who had always been favored, ushered in a critical turning point in his military career. The Junzuo plan began to reorganize on the basis of the armored brigade, directly expanding five tank regiments and a large number of transport vehicles, and also transferred troops from the rear and front lines. Several groups of experienced veterans were recruited.

Designated as the New 90th Army, the original armored brigade was expanded into the 1st Infantry Division, which has three mechanized mixed infantry regiments, a rocket artillery regiment, an engineering regiment and a baggage regiment, as well as divisional reconnaissance battalions, special operations companies, etc.

Due to the terrain limitations of the battlefield in Southeast Asia, tanks cannot be gathered together to form a torrent of steel like in Europe. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles can only follow the old American path and serve as collaborative support weapons for infantry.

Each mechanized infantry regiment has 45 Sherman tanks, 500 wheeled vehicles of various types, 75 24mm half-track self-propelled artillery, and 2500 combat soldiers.

下属装甲营编制人员650人，下设1个营部、3个直属排（警卫通讯排、侦查排、卫生排）与6个连（3个坦克连、1个机械化步兵连、1个火力支援连、1个支援保障连）

Junzuo regards them as a template for the future army. All members are equipped with STG44 assault rifles. There are also many types of artillery at the regimental and battalion levels. Rocket launchers, mortars, flamethrowers, light and heavy machine guns are all available, and the firepower configuration of the infantry is It can be said that the salary and treatment are the highest in the entire army.

With the support of a large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, soldiers can not only reach the battlefield quickly, but also maximize the weapons and equipment they carry without worrying about the weight burden of equipment and ammunition.

The main focus of the entire division is quick response and mobile warfare, deploying to the battlefield at lightning speed, and then crushing the enemy with thunderous firepower.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the logistics can keep up, such a regiment will not fall behind in a one-on-one challenge against a small Japanese division. If the air force can cooperate in the battle, it will be easy for the entire division to defeat several divisions.

The New 90th Army currently only has one division, the 1st Infantry Division. The original plan was to reorganize three mechanized divisions, but it will take time to replicate the same personnel and firepower organization. Not only are there problems with weapons and equipment, but also The training of soldiers and the formation of combat effectiveness.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Jize was appointed as the commander of the 1st Division. Although he was young, he had rich combat experience. He led the armored brigade to defeat the Japanese army several times and made extraordinary achievements. He deserved this position.

The army commander is temporarily vacant because the establishment is not full. However, everyone else knows that when the 90th Army completes its establishment later, the position of commander will belong to him.

Most of the more than 5 troops brought back from western Yunnan some time ago have arrived in Heihe. Now five light infantry divisions have been reorganized, each with about 1.2 troops.

The remaining people, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, will either be added to the three main armies, or enter the second-line troops, or continue to stay in the base area for training and be responsible for guarding the surrounding areas of the base area.

The five reorganized divisions did not form corps-level units. They were simply transferred to Mandalay, Myitkyina and other important areas for garrison. Fan Shaozeng, who was in the rear, was under the unified command and dispatch.

They do not have a fixed number, and there are some differences between them and the main force in weapons and equipment, mainly in terms of heavy firepower, while light weapons are basically the same.

These soldiers are the reserve force of the expeditionary force, and they can also be regarded as battlefield veterans. Once the main force suffers losses, they can be immediately replaced. If necessary later, they can be drawn out at any time to form a new team number and go to the front line.
