All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 321, Synthesis Battalion
"Wow, we've been gone for less than ten days, and it's completely changed."

The Sichuan army who came back couldn't help sighing during the battle. In just ten days, the area sandwiched between the Burma Road and the Gold Mine Airport has become a large construction site.

The original dense woods were bulldozed, and new rows of wooden houses were built.

The narrow path has been widened and repaired, and has changed from a one-way lane to a two-way lane. When the convoy drove in, it also encountered infantry combat vehicles driving in the opposite direction to perform patrol tasks.

Long Wenwen had communicated with Chen Hao on the way, and knew that by providing protection and salary, using both hard and soft methods, more than a thousand miners were summoned from the gold mine to carry out the construction task.

The convoy stopped in an open space. When Long Wenwen got out of the chariot, he saw a group of people walking towards here not far away.

After a cursory glance, several of them were recognized. Lin Yi, who was the director of logistics, and Meng Fan, who held several positions and acted as the mouthpiece of the group seat.

Ah Yi lacks courage in combat and is not considered a qualified officer.

But after all, he has been educated, can read and can count, and he is particularly conspicuous among a bunch of illiterates. It is still no problem to be a logistics cadre.

The key point is that he has a gentle personality, neither greedy nor appropriation, and he is fair and just in distributing supplies, which is quite popular among the soldiers.

Ah Yi stopped and first offered a military salute: "Vice Chief Long, you have worked hard all the way."

"The people brought back only have a rough statistics, and the specific arrangements for registration and bookkeeping are up to you." Long Wenwen asked with a restrained smile.

Meng Fan took a step forward and said, "The delegation is in the meeting room, waiting for you."

Long Wenwen nodded and explained a few words, followed Meng Fan into a command vehicle, and came to the core area of ​​the Gold Mine Airport.

The construction waste blown up by the Japanese aircraft was completely cleared out, and there were some more wooden buildings here, but the most conspicuous one was the large warehouse with an incompatible architectural style.

The meeting room is a newly built large wooden house. When the door is opened, there is sufficient air-conditioning, which forms two extremes with the humidity and heat outside.

"Tuan Zuo, fortunately, I brought everyone back." Long Wenwen saluted and reported as soon as he walked in, showing a full respect and giving enough face.

Chen Hao was wearing a short shirt and shorts, and was dealing with a box of Agendas ice cream, when he saw a smile on Long Wenwen's face.

"Thank you, sit down and talk." Chen Hao pointed to the chair beside him, and ordered to the orderly: "Bring a can of Coke, and another ice cream, to cool off the summer heat for Deputy Captain Long."

Long Wenwen sat down, took the towel from the orderly and wiped the sweat off his head.

Myanmar has completely entered summer in June, and the average high temperature outside is above 34 degrees, sometimes reaching [-] degrees.

Being in the sun in this kind of weather will cause heat stroke.

However, although the temperature is hot and the air is humid, Long Wenwen can still accept it, and most of the people who have suffered can also accept it.

But the group seat seems too extravagant. The precious power generated by the diesel generator supplies the air conditioner for cooling, and also makes a variety of cold drinks.

On the way up the mountain, I learned from Meng Fanle that if it is not necessary, the group seats almost do not take the air-conditioned room during the day.

Isn't it so delicate?

Tuan Zuo was not like that before.

After taking a few sips of iced Coke, Long Wenwen hiccupped. I have to say that Tuan Zuo really knows how to enjoy it. The drink called Coke is really delicious and refreshing.

"Two thousand ready-made soldiers, select the backbone to fill the establishment, and then go into battle. Take a look at my plan." Chen Hao saw that he was slowing down, and threw over a formation list.

Refreshing and not sloppy, this is still the style of the group.

Long Wenwen took the compilation roster and read it carefully. In fact, the two had communicated and discussed frequently, and Long Wenwen was already familiar with some of the above-named combat units.

This establishment is completely different from the existing mainstream troop establishment.

The division is more detailed, and it pays attention to the combination of different arms to fight.

The previous infantry battalion will be replaced by a combined battalion, and the planned Sichuan Army Corps will be combined into the first battalion:
The battalion head and deputy battalion commander, chief of staff, and four staff officers, plus two clerks, two correspondents, two cooks, and two hygienists, including a guard squad.

There are two armored infantry companies, each with 132 people, and each company is equipped with [-] infantry fighting vehicles.

There are two companies of tanks, each with 45 people, and each company is equipped with nine miniature versions of the [-]th tank - the Type [-] light tank.

The firepower company has 160 people, including heavy machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers, to provide strong fire support.

The supporting support company has 156 people, mainly for truck transportation, artillery detection radar, and providing assistance.

Such a synthetic battalion has a total strength of 700 people, which is comparable to a small regiment.

The Sichuan Army Corps will set up three such combined battalions, with a total of eighteen companies.

Not counting the firepower company, air defense company, reconnaissance company, support company, and logistics support company directly under the regiment.

Long Wenwen did some mental calculations, and said with a wry smile: "Tuan Zuo, you are too impatient. The 2000 people you brought this time, plus the original 500 people from our Sichuan Army, have come in with a whole brain plan, and you almost have to wait for it." manpower."

Chen Hao smiled and didn't care: "That's okay, the gap is selected from the overseas Chinese, as long as they can work in logistics. I don't think anyone can refuse the conditions we offer."

Long Wenwen nodded in approval.

That's true, just a supply of food and drink is worth many people's lives.

Not to mention the high military pay, for the current expatriates, joining the Sichuan Army Corps is the best way out.

Compared with the conventional infantry battalion, the proportion of combat soldiers in the synthetic battalion has been reduced, only reaching [-]%.

The key is the heavy equipment that needs to be configured. A synthetic battalion needs to be equipped with [-] infantry combat vehicles, [-] tanks, nearly [-] trucks and other transportation equipment.

Three synthetic battalions, plus the five companies directly under the regiment, add up to nearly four hundred oil rats.

Long Wenwen felt dizzy thinking about it, not to mention that he had never seen a tank before. He couldn't help asking: "Tuan, I have no problem with the establishment, but how much can it be implemented?"

"Almost [-]%. One main battalion is equipped with [-]% armored vehicles, and the remaining two can be supplemented as much as possible. I will find a way to solve it later."

Fearing that there are few articles about dragons, Chen Hao also explained: "A synthetic battalion equipped with 21% armor and [-] infantry combat vehicles has considerable combat effectiveness. It is enough to sweep a division and defeat an infantry regiment of the Japanese army."

In fact, he was overthinking, and Long Wenwen had no doubts about it.

Covered by the artillery firepower company, the impact of the infantry fighting vehicle and some infantry, wouldn't that destroy half of the Japanese infantry company.

That battle can only be said to be a prototype, and the firepower of the synthetic battalion is even fiercer.

Even if only [-]% of the armored vehicles are equipped, as long as the firepower company has a lot of configuration, Long Wenwen believes that it is not a problem to resist an ordinary division.

Some people may wonder, how can a mere battalion, with 700 people dissatisfied with the configuration, stop a division?

The two had discussed in the chat, why the division-level establishment of a certain army is so small?
A military division has the following sequences at the same time.

The banditry of more than a thousand people is a division.

The 51st Division with more than [-] people is a division.

The [-]th Division with more than [-] people is still a division
The largest division-reformed army was overstaffed, and the smallest division-reformed regiment was understaffed.

As early as during the Northern Expedition, the establishment of a certain army was still very strict, but as various officials made wishes during the Central Plains War, the division-level establishment began to flood rapidly.

Even so, a certain army at that time still wanted to control it, so it set an upper limit of [-]—Dai Jianlan's [-]th division was the last one, and there would be no more.

But as we all know, boundaries are made to be broken.

Jingguo formed a youth army, and the crown prince had to save face, so the designations of divisions 201 to 209 were added.

Others don't have as much face, but they can change their names.

For example, newly created XX divisions, temporary XX divisions, XX preparatory divisions, and XX independent divisions—as long as they don’t enter the original sequence, there are several times the numbers that can be used.

For example: Zhang Zizhong's unit is called the 38th Division, and Sun Liren's unit is called the New 38th Division. These two divisions are not the same division and exist separately. I didn't expect it.

According to the statistics of the Military Commission in 240, a certain army had 319 army divisions, which expanded to [-] in [-].

As for four or five years later, in order to win over bandits and various local armed forces, the division-level organization has completely given up treatment just like the golden coupons.

At that time, in the Northeast alone, a certain army appointed 33 commander-in-chiefs, 32 army commanders, and 150 eight division commanders.

The total number of these armed forces is about 200,000, with an average of 1265 people per division—less than the number of a regiment of the Central Army.

Zhang Leshan, the prototype of the movie Mountain Sculpture, had [-] soldiers and was the commander of the second detachment of the second column of the Northeast Advance Army at that time.

Four or five years later, the gap between teachers and teachers is greater than that between people and Wangcai.

1000 people can be a division, and 3000 people can be a regiment, not to mention the No.18 Army, which has only three divisions but more than one hundred regiments.

Princes from all walks of life in Shanxi, Guangdong and Guangxi, puppet armies from all walks of life who were ordered to surrender, the 18th Army Group that was not counted, and local armed forces that made up their numbers...

prepared by?Unified number of people?

In fact, Nanjing is not without effort.

Zhang Linfu's reorganization of the 74th Division is the result of the adjustment of the establishment.

However, limited by the overall planning ability of the Nanjing government and the independence of the Yunnan-Guangxi warlords, the final result of this adjustment is: In the already very chaotic organization system, another organization has been added.

But the presidential palace will soon no longer have to worry about this problem.

Forty-nine has arrived.

It's still in [-], and the division-level organization hasn't fallen to that level yet, but it still can't stop Long Wenwen's self-confidence. It's really because their mysterious regiment is too powerful, and the weapons they equip the troops are too advanced.

For the same person, the attack power of the rifle and the automatic rifle is not at the same level.

The Type [-] infantry artillery is not as powerful as the rocket launcher.

The Type [-] infantry fighting vehicle, which is also protective, transporting and aggressive, crushes the enemy's tanks in every way.

"By the way, what is the Type [-] light tank in the organization?"

Long Wenwen raised his mouth and asked curiously.

The Type [-] light tank is modified from the Type [-] tank. The overall model has been reduced by one version, and its firepower and armor are also slightly weaker.

The most important thing is light weight, the combat weight is only 21 tons, which is suitable for the dense jungle and muddy dirt roads in Myanmar.

Chen Hao originally thought that infantry tanks would be enough, but he heard that one was destroyed by a Type [-] infantry artillery during that battle, so he temporarily changed his mind and added a tank company.

Although the Type [-] light tank has the word "light" added, it is still much stronger than the infantry fighting vehicle in terms of protective armor, and it is more suitable for it to take on the tough task.

At present, there is no time to purchase in the future, so we can only form an establishment first, select personnel and start training.

Let people wait for the tank.

At this point, Long Wenwen had a thorough understanding of Chen Hao's plan.

There is no doubt that he will be the specific executor of this plan. Chen Hao is in charge of the operation and will show up when necessary, so that the whole group will know who is in charge.

"Tuan Zuo, how long do we have to integrate training?" Long Wenwen asked.

Chen Hao raised three fingers and added two more after thinking about it.

"Three days? Five days?" Long Wenwen didn't quite understand.

Chen Hao explained solemnly: "The Japanese attack will happen in three days without any accidents, and we will defeat the Japanese army and launch a counterattack in five days. Therefore, the first main battalion that goes into battle has only three days, and the remaining two have five days." .”

Long Wenwen frowned suddenly, feeling the heavy pressure.

The time is too tight, the offense is different from the defense, there is a lack of running-in for weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is doubtful.

Can the temporarily selected backbone be competent to command?

You must know that the combat methods of the Sichuan Army are different from their previous ones, and there is a lot to learn.

"Can't we have a few more days?"

"When to start the war is not up to us now, it is the Japanese army."

"One of their infantry brigades is already in place, and the heavy artillery regiment is currently moving towards the front line. Those artillery are too heavy, which limits their speed, otherwise it will be earlier than this."

Chen Hao explained the situation, it wasn't that he didn't give time, and he had already made great efforts.

These days, Chen Hao flew a helicopter to scout the advances of the Japanese army, and even used rockets to harass the enemy, making the Japanese army miserable.

The Japanese army sent Zero fighters to patrol and ambush, and even dreamed of destroying the helicopter.

A helicopter that can carry air-to-air missiles is far inferior to the Zero fighter that also uses cannons in terms of offensiveness.

Often the Zero fighters are spotted and locked by radar before they approach.

Into the soul!
In front of modern jet fighters, helicopters are not qualified to be opponents.

But the crushing of the current weapon generation gap is more than enough to deal with propeller fighter jets.

Since then, Chen Hao has gained air supremacy, frequently harassed and attacked the Japanese army's transportation routes, and destroyed several Japanese heavy artillery pieces, threatening to affect the speed of the Japanese army's assembly.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Long Wenwen to sit in the air-conditioned room and talk to him at this time, and the battle would have started long ago.

Long Wenwen stood up: "Tuan Zuo, time is running out, so I will act now."

"Go ahead and report the list of cadres as soon as possible. When the army is formed the day after tomorrow, I will come forward and hold an inauguration ceremony." Chen Hao instructed.

No matter how busy he is, when promoting rewards and buying people's hearts, he never pretends to others.

Long Wenwen knew very well that the inauguration ceremony was Chen Hao's way of establishing the authority of the top leader.

Long Wenwen felt that it was a bit redundant. Without the logistical support of the regiment, the Sichuan Army would be abolished.

As long as you grasp this point, the Tuan Zuo will always be the Tuan Zuo, and no one can challenge his authority.

There is absolutely no need to talk too much about this matter, otherwise the Tuan Zuo will suspect that he is plotting something wrong.

When Long Wenwen turned to leave, he suddenly stopped and said, "Tuan Zuo, it's cool to stay in the air-conditioned room all the time, but it's too comfortable. The enemy is coming fiercely, we haven't had time to enjoy it yet!"

He felt that his persuasion was unfaithful.

Chen Hao snorted and said: "You call this enjoyment? It's just a little more comfortable, besides...

I have fought all my life, so can't I enjoy it? "
