Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2068 The true purpose of the Zhengguo version ([-])
Gao Wushi was very moved by Liu Xin's proposal.

The fundamental core of this proposal does not lie in the names of Class A and Class B, but in the standardized grading system of military establishments and the standardized equipment supply and treatment provision systems that match their grading.

In human terms, if you are a type A army, then I will give you the largest establishment and the best treatment. At the same time, I also require you to undergo the most rigorous training. Combat on the battlefield and require you to achieve the greatest results;

If you are a type B army, then I will give you an organization that is inferior to that of a type A army, and you will receive relatively normal treatment. At the same time, you must also undergo formal training. Most of the normal tasks on the battlefield, fighting against ordinary enemy forces will not be a disadvantage;
Liu Xin only said "Class A" and "Class B", but as I said just now, the core of what she said was "a standardized grading system for military establishments."In fact, according to the current situation of Daming, Gao Yushi knows that there must be more than just A and B in Ming Dynasty, and the existence of C and D military towns is necessary.

Then, the requirements of the C army are naturally lower than those of the B army, and the D army is equivalent to the C army.

Roughly speaking, the Type A army belongs to the sharp knife army, at least the core elite of a certain town on the Nine Sides, such as the Qi family army of the Southern Army, the Li Family Army of Liaodong, the Ma Family Army of Datong, the Ma Family Army of Xuanfu, and the Liu Family Army of Sichuan.

The characteristic of these armies is that their equipment is absolutely top-notch in a town, and they are often able to "one against two", "one against three" or even more exaggerated when fighting abroad;
Type B army belongs to the regular main force, that is, it is equivalent to the Nine Sides Field Force after completing the refitting in recent years.Roughly, it can be regarded as the troops that Gao Pragmatism takes away every time he leads the army, with higher fighting will, better military discipline and treatment, and stronger field combat capabilities.

Of course, there are also strong troops in these armies, such as Zhang Wanbang's troops who have made outstanding achievements several times.As the general Ding Jun (Datong Zhenyang and Wei) who also belonged to Datong, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Wanbang's troops was not weaker than that of Ma's army with the same number of people.

As for why the "Zhang family army" is still inferior to the Ma family army, it is because the Zhang family rose late, and the background and family capital are not as good, so the scale of Zhang Wanbang's troops is much smaller than that of the Ma family army.There are only about 6000 people from the entire Zhang family, and he himself usually leads three or four thousand people.

What is the size of Ma's army now?There are quite a lot of generals, generals, and guerrillas in the Ma family. Together, there are more than [-] Ding troops. This is called the background.

"Squadron", which is equivalent to "company", consists of 3 squadrons and a squadron head with about 20 people including squadron leader, sergeant, health worker, orderly, bugleman, and signal corps. The scale is about 200 people and equipped with 1-2 Heavy machine guns and infantry artillery.

In addition, there is another kind of division in the Japanese army, although it also has two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, each infantry brigade does not have an infantry regiment under its jurisdiction, but directly governs four independent infantry brigades, and the two infantry brigades have a total of 2 infantry brigades under its jurisdiction. 4 independent infantry brigades.A total of 2 divisions of this two-brigade system have been formed, and not every division has an artillery unit.

And here is one more thing that may surprise many people: the so-called A, B, C, and D divisions have never appeared in the Japanese's own materials, indicating that there is no A in the regular establishment of the Japanese army. , B, C, and D divisions, this should be a statement made in China when studying the Japanese army's establishment, or it was formed for the convenience of understanding.

Many people are often confused about what divisions, brigades, regiments, brigades, squadrons, squads, and detachments are, and they don't know which scales they are familiar with.According to the establishment of the Japanese army at that time, it was generally like this:
"Squad" is the smallest tactical unit, similar to the well-known "squad" and the "shed" of the Ming Dynasty Guards.There are about 13 people in a team, of which there are about 8 to 9 riflemen, 1 captain, 3 to 4 machine gunners with a light machine gun.

Since the Japanese themselves only organized their army according to the above situation, how did the so-called "A, B, C and D" divisions be divided by the Chinese?In fact, to put it simply, it is divided according to the size of the weaving, which is very rough.

“小队”相当于“排”，由3个分队，1个大概8-10人、3-4门迫击炮的迫击炮小队和小队队部构成，规模大约60人左右。

It is more popular to say that Type A Division is what Japan claims to be the Horse Division. Its scale includes 4 infantry regiments, transport regiments, artillery regiments, cavalry regiments and about 8 regiments, plus various The total number of non-combatants is nearly 30000;

In other words, the division method of "A, B, C, D" is actually the Chinese who gave people such names according to the actual practice of Japan.

For example, this kind of family army without a formal establishment, how many people it has, how much money the court needs to allocate, and how much ordnance, these can only be reported by the general himself, and the court will send people to temporarily Check it out, it's easy to be fooled.

Of course, this is generally not the case.Therefore, Qi Jiajun is indeed a special case in Jiangmen.

The "brigade" is between the "battalion" and the "regiment", and its number is much larger than that of the battalion but obviously smaller than that of the regiment.It includes 3-4 rifle squadrons, a transport brigade, a machine gun squadron and a mortar squadron with a size of about 1200 people and is equipped with several heavy machine guns and a small number of infantry artillery.

As for the Jiading Army, which can be made larger, it does not have a formal organization system, and is basically formed at will according to the personal wishes and experience of the chief general.Although this may be a more combat-ready state in the general's main combat area, but for the imperial court, there are many problems.

Because of this reason, the system that the Japanese army can use well is often no problem for China to use. The "A, B, C, D" grading system falls within this category in a highly pragmatic view.

Division B, also known as the packhorse division, has 4 infantry regiments, artillery regiments, transport regiments, engineering regiments and about 25000 non-combatants under it;

So, what happened to the so-called A, B, C, D grading system of the Japanese Army at that time?In addition, if we go a little deeper, what is the difference between the so-called "horse-drawing division" and "pack-horse division"?
During the entire World War II in the original history, the Japanese Army formed a total of 173 divisions, of which 17 "permanent" divisions, also known as "ad hoc" divisions were formed before the war, and 156 divisions were formed during the war.Among the 173 divisions, 61 divisions were successively sent to the Chinese battlefield and incorporated into the sequence of Chinese dispatched troops.

But here I want to talk about Liu Jiajun alone. There is one key point about his family's situation, that is, the number of generals in the Southwest is far less numerous and powerful than that of the Nine Sides.In the entire southwestern provinces, as long as you don't count the Mu family in Yunnan as a general, then the Liu family is the undisputed number one general in the southwest. They have no rivals at all and stand out from the crowd.

The Qi family army is a special case. It is difficult to calculate the number according to the standards of other major generals.This is because Qi Jiguang's purpose for many years is not to support soldiers and be a general. His ideal has always been to train soldiers for the court, and train all the troops he can train to have the combat effectiveness of Qi's army.

The "wing", which is larger than the "regiment", includes a headquarters of about 1 people, three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, a communication squadron and an anti-tank squadron, with a scale of about 60 people.The Japanese army also has an artillery wing, with about 3 people, equipped with about 1 field guns.

Gao Yushi felt that if such an organization plan was followed, the above-mentioned Li Jiajun, Ma Jiajun, Ma Jiajun, Liu Jiajun, and Qi Jiajun should all be organized as the first batch of "Type A armies".Moreover, due to certain considerations, it is not advisable to have too many Type A troops at the beginning, and it is necessary to give room for some Type B troops to upgrade into Type A troops in order to motivate Type B troops.

You must know that once these situations are deceived, it is not only as simple as the court often spending more money, but more importantly, the court will inevitably misassess the combat capability of the army because of this. Then it is likely to lead to serious misjudgments in the decision-making process of the court.

侵华战争爆发后，日军又组建了10个四联队制的师团，其中新组建的是101、104、106、108、109、110、114、116师团，恢复番号的是13、18师团，连同原有的17个师团，合计有27个四联队制的师团。

I have just said that such cognition is problematic at the level of historical facts, but having said that, this kind of cognition is basically feasible for the current high-level practicality to standardize the establishment of the Ming army.

"Brigade", the independent mixed brigade generally has about 7000 people, while the infantry brigade has about 2 people in two infantry regiments under it.

When fighting, it is often necessary to temporarily form a joint combat force with several guards under the jurisdiction of a higher-ranking general. The efficiency of one plus one equals two is very bad.

These four-team divisions include both horse-drawn divisions and pack-horse divisions.The difference is that the artillery regiments in the draft horse division are equipped with field artillery, while the artillery regiments in the pack horse division are equipped with mountain artillery.

Needless to say, the two generations of the Liu family's father and son have made a name for themselves in the Southwest.In the southwestern provinces and even Myanmar and other areas outside the border, just erecting a big banner with the character "Liu" may be able to withstand the deterrent force of [-] troops.

The criterion for distinguishing between a draft horse division and a pack horse division is not the number of infantry regiments under the division's jurisdiction, but whether the artillery regiments or artillery teams under the division's jurisdiction are equipped with mountain artillery or field artillery.Because each mountain cannon requires more personnel and horses than field cannons, the pack horse division equipped with mountain cannons has more personnel and horses than the horse-drawn division equipped with field cannons.

Speaking of the "A, B, C, D" grading system, this system can indeed refer to Japan in the original history. As the name suggests, a high-level pragmatic person is pragmatic, and he will not object to borrowing the system they used because he dislikes the invading army.On the contrary, he felt that drawing on the Japanese army at that time had some advantages over drawing on the European army in certain historical periods.

The Type C division is expanded from a mixed brigade, with 3 infantry regiments, an engineering regiment and an artillery regiment, and about 15000 non-combatants;

The Dingzhong division is also expanded from the brigade, and generally only has 3 infantry regiments with a size of about 10000 people. It mainly performs stability maintenance and mopping up tasks in occupied areas, and is a garrison force.

Correspondingly, the strength of other top goalkeepers has been more or less mentioned before.For example, Ding Jun, the general family with the highest combat effectiveness, has about 4 people in the Li family in Liaodong, and they are mainly cavalry, so they are the number one generals; the Ma family in Xuanfu has about 5000 people, and they are mainly cavalry, so the number Slightly less; the Sichuan Liujia Army has about 3 people, because it is the Southern Army, so there are fewer cavalry.

This leads to a problem, that is, there are not many direct line troops who have always been directly under the commander of him (after him Qi Jin). At the highest point, there were only 6000 people (including the present).

Most of the three regiment divisions formed before the end of 1941 had an infantry regiment headquarters under the division headquarters. The infantry regiment commander was the infantry commander. Later, the infantry regiment headquarters was revoked and the division commander directly commanded it. Various infantry regiments.

However, if you want to count the Qi Family Army in a broad sense, it will be troublesome, because there are quite a few generals who went out from the Qi Family Army to lead troops all over the country. When they went to lead the army, they would often take a group of people from the Qi Family Army. When they arrived at the place, they recruited a group of people themselves. Do you think these people are considered Qi's army?

With the development of the war situation, the Japanese army found that the four regiment divisions were too large to adapt to the changing situation on the battlefield.Therefore, starting from September 1937, seven triple division divisions were formed. In 9, another 7 three-team divisions were established in the mainland, and from October 1939, the four-team divisions were gradually reorganized into three-team divisions.

In addition to being divided into the draft horse division and the pack horse division, these three regiment divisions are also divided into three infantry regiments and an artillery regiment and three infantry regiments and an artillery regiment. The artillery formation here is smaller than that of the artillery regiment. Team.

What advantage?Of course, there are advantages such as geographical proximity and cultural similarity.It is needless to say that Japan is influenced by Chinese culture, even the Japanese of later generations admit it, and unlike the great powers of the universe, the Japanese do not shy away from it, and are even quite proud of it.

The "division" is the cornerstone of Japan's main force. Its status is close to that of the "army". It is the highest establishment of the Japanese army. This will be explained in detail below.

Gao Wushi clapped his hands and said, "Xin'er's suggestion is very good. I think that the current Ming Dynasty's army has a big problem with the regularization of the establishment. This kind of dissatisfaction with the editor, and the largest scale is only Wei, even if it is full, there are only more than 5000 people, and generally it is impossible to be alone.

If it is not counted, then the Qi family army has a total of only 6000 people, and they are basically under Qi Jin's command now; if it is counted, then the Qi family army has [-] if not [-], which belongs to the real number one general in the world.

Uh, is it possible that I have to engage in the "five main forces" first?Why does this name sound so unlucky... Well, if you count the Imperial Guards, that is the "six main forces", which sounds much more auspicious.

To make a simple assumption, I am now going to mobilize 20 elite soldiers to fight abroad.According to the report received by the imperial court, this is a real [-] elites, so I made a battle situation deduction according to the standard of [-] elites, and concluded that I could face [-] enemy troops head-on and win.

The results of it?When I was about to fight, I found out that I actually only had 5 people under my command, and I couldn’t complete the battle I expected at all. In the end, I was defeated by the enemy. After retreating all the way, the guards at the rear panicked, and even the side wall was lost. , causing the enemy to invade.Should this be the case?Of course not, of course it should be avoided! "

Having said this, Gao Wushi tapped the table with his right index finger, and said, "Therefore, the plan for preparing several types of armies and towns, A, B, C, D, is not only because the artillery company is going to be built now, so the Imperial Guards have to be transferred. With the promotion of the new establishment system, it is more important to take advantage of the trend to complete the regularization of the national army, so that the imperial court can more accurately grasp the strength of each army.

At the same time, a state of dislocation between the armies and towns at all levels, especially the first- and second-level military towns, was formed, making them compete with each other for court resources and improve their combat effectiveness! "
