Beiyang 1917

Xiong Shihui, who had been silent and thoughtful by himself, was overjoyed when he heard the words, grabbed Zhang Weixi's arm and said, "Brother Chu Yu, you are absolutely right, the commander-in-chief must have such a plan, that's why we put the three of us together." The main mixed brigades of the division were all organized into the infantry group army, because they can be drawn to the battlefield to fight at any time when they are fully equipped.

Song Mingxuan and his three divisions who just arrived in China took a lot of time to adapt to the local food and climate. Although armored vehicles are not new, the tanks are always brand new. I guess it took only a few months of running-in. It's not a big deal if it's fancy but not useful. In the future, if you free up your hands, you must upgrade our infantry armies directly to armored armies! "

Xiong Shihui is 25 years old at the moment. This kid has always been proud of being the youngest major general brigade commander and the youngest lieutenant general commander in the Chinese army. At this moment, 26-year-old Tong Linge and 27-year-old Shi Yousan have both been promoted to division commanders When he came to the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front of the Allied Forces, his competitive spirit was obviously challenged. He was thinking about the personnel appointment and arrangement of the commander-in-chief just now, but now Zhang Weixi said , One word awakened the dreamer, and he understood it all at once!

Li Mingzhong also reacted, and the three of them rubbed each other's shoulders and laughed mischievously, making Song Zheyuan over there puzzled. You are older, and your positions are not lower than yours, why do you three still boast that you are a senior?Don't play tricks?

In fact, although Li Mingzhong, Zhang Weixi, and Sun Liangcheng are also lieutenant generals and division commanders, these three are genuine infantry army commanders, and they are half a rank higher than your two-handed mechanized army chief of staff. Of course, if the mechanized army is full After the personnel have been trained to form combat effectiveness, the commander of the infantry group army may not be much stronger than the chief of staff of the mechanized group army.

"General Tanaka, do you have any opinion on the formation and appointment of the four mechanized armies as the deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces?" Pleasantly ask Tanaka Yoshiichi, the commander of the Japanese First Army!

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, it is a great honor that the Japanese Cavalry Wing was incorporated into the mechanized army, and you also appointed me as the deputy chief of staff of the coalition army and concurrently the commander of the 8th mechanized army. I have no different opinions on the appointment of personnel. I believe the Allies The coalition forces will, as always, unite under the coalition command and your leadership, and contribute to world peace and order!"

The commander of the 1st Japanese Army, the new deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces and the commander of the 9th Mechanized Army obviously behaved quite decently at the moment. Not only did he stand up and bow his head before answering, but there was no previous arrogance and arrogance in his words .

In other words, many of the lowly Chinese and Japanese generals nodded frequently. Obviously, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has basically subdued the 54-year-old Japanese Army General at today's Zhongyang Front Army Formation Meeting. People think so.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me. I have a question. When will the original armored army be formed? Can my cavalry army be formed into an army to fight?" Xie Xie, the commander of the 2nd Volga Cavalry Army, spoke. Sergey Mikhainovich Bashkar, the Russian cavalry general who shined in the Battle of Ufa, was born as the chief of staff of the Petrovich Cavalry Division. Of course, the earlier origin can be traced back to China's 3rd The confrontation between the two sides when the division sent troops to the Baikal area.

Wang Geng glanced at the commander of the cavalry army who was known as a man of wisdom, smiled and motioned for Jiang Hongyu, the chief of staff of the coalition army beside him, to answer, and Jiang Hongyu said,

"Sergey Mikhainovich, at present, due to the serious shortage of tanks and armored vehicles of the coalition forces, the formation work of the two armored armies can only be put back. Among the 2 Chinese mixed infantry brigades, 18 formations Into the infantry group army, 6 mixed brigades and the 7nd mixed armored brigade of the 1st armored division, and the 2rd mixed cavalry brigade were incorporated into the mechanized group army.

The remaining 5 infantry mixed brigades, plus the Ural and Volga cavalry corps, are not enough to form an armored army for the time being. You must know that each armored army planned to govern a mixed tank brigade, a mixed armored brigade, and a mixed motorized brigade. The infantry brigade, a heavy artillery brigade, an antiaircraft artillery brigade, and a cavalry corps now have gaps in personnel and equipment, so the plan for the armored army must be put aside! "

"Hey! How can this work? I said the chief of staff. The Cossacks are eagerly waiting to join the Panzer Army. How can we just leave us alone? If we knew that we would join the Southwest Front Army or the South Front Army, stay It’s too much to say that Samara basks in the sun, we can’t watch others make great achievements and stare anxiously on the sidelines!” Chapayev, the commander of the 1st Ural Cavalry Army, listened for a long time, and now he couldn’t help shouting Get up!

Jiang Hongyu frowned when he heard the words, the conference room was a bit noisy with the Russian language of two bearded federal Cossack cavalry commanders, and the buzzing sounded continuously. Said the plan he and Jiang Hongyu had discussed before,

"Everyone, due to the huge gap in tanks and armored vehicles, the two armored armies cannot be formed on time before the end of September. For this reason, our remaining five mixed brigades will be reorganized into the five du li mixed brigades of the Central Yang Front Army. The motorized infantry brigade, as the reserve and mobile units of the central yang front army, is the 9st, 2rd, 81th, 83th and 84th motorized infantry brigades respectively, directly under the command of the coalition headquarters.

At the same time, the 1st Ural Cavalry Army and the 2nd Volga Cavalry Army of the Volga Federation formed the 1st Cavalry Army of the Central Yang Front of the Allied Army. Served as chief of staff, and served as commander of the original 1st and 1nd Cavalry Corps respectively.The 2st Cavalry Army also served as the mobile unit of the Allied Forces Command. "

The remarks of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces were obviously beyond the expectations of everyone present. The brigade commanders of the five mixed brigades felt very uneasy. It seemed like a huge honor to be the commander of the department, but he also felt that he would be regarded as a second-rate army and a supplementary brigade.But these brigade commanders didn't have the courage to directly challenge the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces they met for the first time, so no matter whether it was good or bad, they didn't let it stand aside, right?That's a good thing!
