The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

The beginning of September is already the weather of early autumn, the heat of North China is gradually receding, the cool breeze is blowing, and the autumn air is refreshing.

With the restoration of North China, there is no war in the entire land of North China.

The expansion of the No.30 Sixth Army is in full swing. The No.30 Sixth Army has ten columns, a flight brigade, an independent division, a guard division, and an anti-aircraft artillery brigade directly under it. The number of troops expanded from 5000 to 5, the No.30 Sixth Army will have a total strength of more than 60, which will be the largest and largest among all Chinese armies.

It is the No.18 Army, and it is not as large as the No.30 Sixth Army. The No.18 Army has been expanding. The regular army has three 10,000+ people. In addition, there are some guerrillas, county brigades and district squads with a total of about 10,000+ people. . The total number of No.18 Army, including guerrillas, county brigades and district squads, is about 50 people.

In addition to the regular army of more than 30 people, the No.60 Sixth Army also has ten local garrison brigades with a total of 10,000+ people. These ten local garrison brigades have played an important role in local law and order and maintaining social stability. [

In Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and even Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, these ten local garrison brigades have played a big role in the vast base areas of the No.30 Sixth Army. In these areas, with these local garrison brigades, social security is very good. Well, it's very stable. Coupled with the various development-encouraging policies formulated by the No.30 Sixth Army, the society has developed rapidly, and the lives of ordinary people have undergone significant changes in a short period of time.

This time, in addition to expanding ten columns.Zhang Yunfei plans to set up ten more local garrison brigades in North China.

North China was restored, and the No.30 Sixth Army controlled a large number of places, some important areas.Most of the big cities are controlled by the No.30 Sixth Army, and are within the jurisdiction of the No.30 Sixth Army.The population reached tens of millions.

If regular troops are stationed in these areas, a large part of the troops will be restrained. Moreover, there are no little devils and puppet troops in these areas, so there is no need to use regular troops.

Zhang Yunfei plans to set up ten more local garrison brigades, using the weapons captured by the Japanese and puppet troops. Each garrison brigade has more than [-] people, depending on the size of the area under its jurisdiction.Each garrison brigade has five, six, or seven or eight regiments.

The formation of ten new local garrison brigades is just a trivial matter.

Zhang Yunfei's key work is still the expansion of the ten columns of the No.30 Sixth Army.

The expansion plan has been reported to the Central Military Commission for approval. The central government encourages the expansion of the troops below. Zhang Yunfei's expansion plan was reported to the central government.The central government immediately approved it.

Now, the expansion of the ten major columns is proceeding in an orderly manner. In the past few days, everyone has been relatively busy.Large-scale expansion of troops is not a trivial matter.

Fortunately, the source of troops is sufficient, and the recruits for the expansion have been recruited long ago, and have been training in Datong, Taiyuan, Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and other places for some time.After this expansion, these 10,000+ recruits will be supplemented into various columns and continue to undergo military skills training for a period of time.

Ten columns, each with about 5 people, each column has three motorized infantry divisions, and each infantry division is equipped with a large number of trucks, which can move quickly. Of course, there are a total of [-] infantry divisions in the ten columns. It is unrealistic to realize motorization in one go.

If motorization is implemented, a large number of large trucks will be required. Each infantry division needs to be equipped with at least [-] to [-] large trucks, and [-] infantry divisions need tens of thousands of large trucks.

Although the Datong Automobile Factory has been completed and put into production for more than two years, the initial output was not large. Later, after continuous expansion, the annual output has reached [-] vehicles. However, all [-] infantry divisions have now achieved motorcycle However, the shortage of cars is still several thousand.

The Datong Automobile Factory still needs to operate at full capacity for two or three months before it can produce the cars needed by the troops. That is to say, it will take at least two or three months for all infantry divisions to be motorized.

Even so, the infantry divisions of each column are still called motorized infantry divisions. The organization and training of the troops are all carried out according to the motorized infantry divisions. Once the cars are in place, they will become the real motorized infantry divisions.

Although there is a shortage of trucks, the gap is only a few thousand. More than half of the infantry divisions still have enough trucks, and they are already motorized infantry divisions in the true sense.

Each column has three motorized infantry divisions, and each motorized infantry division has six motorized infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one mechanized infantry regiment, and one tank regiment.

Each motorized infantry regiment has more than 100 large trucks and [-] to [-] off-road vehicles. The large trucks mainly transport soldiers and ammunition, while the off-road vehicles are mainly communication vehicles equipped with communication systems such as radio stations.

In addition, each motorized infantry division also has a 105mm howitzer artillery regiment equipped with 105 60mm howitzers. The regiment has more than 2000 people, nearly [-] large trucks, and a small number of off-road vehicles. [

Now, there is also a great demand for off-road vehicles in the army. The off-road vehicles have outstanding off-road performance and strong protective armor. Officers and soldiers of all troops like them very much.

Off-road vehicles mainly consist of two types, one is an armed off-road vehicle with a 30mm cannon installed on it, and the other is a communication off-road vehicle equipped with a high-power radio station, an inter-vehicle communication system, and so on.

Off-road vehicles are produced by Datong No. [-] Automobile Factory, while large trucks are produced by Datong No. [-] Automobile Factory. Now, the scale of these two major automobile factories has reached an annual output of [-] vehicles.

The tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment are the same as the original organization, and the only change is that there were two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments in one column before, but now there are three tank regiments and three mechanized infantry regiments.

However, due to the insufficient number of Type 39 tanks and Type 39 armored vehicles, almost every tank regiment and every mechanized infantry regiment is not fully staffed.

Considering the great demand for tanks and armored vehicles at the team site, Zhang Yunfei has ordered the construction of a larger tank factory in Tangshan to produce the Type 39 tanks that the troops urgently need.Started construction of an armored vehicle factory in Shijiazhuang to produce Type 39 armored vehicles urgently needed by the troops.

With the recovery of North China, the expansion of many factories is also proceeding according to the expansion of the land area. In North China, many branch factories will be built. The construction of various factories is no longer limited to Datong, Taiyuan and other places.

For example, in the southern suburbs of Beijing, a construction site is also in full swing. Tens of thousands of people are busy on the construction site. Here, an area with a radius of several kilometers will be built into an aircraft factory. After completion, there will not only be an aircraft factory, but also a small The newly produced aircraft will take off from here to equip the troops.

Although the war has been going on for the past few months, the construction of the base areas and the construction of many new factories have never stopped. In this regard, Comrade Fang Zheng, the deputy director of the General Political Department, has put in a lot of effort.

By the way, Fangzheng will no longer be the deputy director of the General Political Department. From now on, he will be called the head of the General Logistics Department, and he will be called Minister Fang.

This time the No.30 Sixth Army has been expanded on a large scale. Zhang Yunfei has added two new departments, the General Logistics Department and the General Armament Department. Now, the No.30 Sixth Army has four major departments, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, and the General Logistics Department and General Armament Department.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan served as the head of the General Staff Department, and Comrade Liu Dazhu, the deputy commander-in-chief, concurrently served as the deputy head of the General Staff Department; Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department; Comrade Fang Zheng, head of the General Logistics Department; Still Comrade Fangzheng, Zhang Yunfei is just a name.

In addition to three motorized infantry divisions, each column also has a heavy artillery brigade with two heavy artillery regiments and a rocket artillery regiment. Each heavy artillery regiment is equipped with 36 155mm howitzers, and the rocket artillery regiment is equipped with 60 rocket launchers. car.

All rocket launchers are all 40mm caliber rocket launchers mounted in 200 tubes, with a maximum range of more than ten kilometers.

The 155mm caliber heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment are still towed by cars, but it may not be long before the self-propelled howitzers will be equipped with heavy artillery brigades on a large scale.

Since the 105mm caliber self-propelled howitzer produced the first one in February this year, more than 105 100mm self-propelled howitzers have been produced, and these self-propelled howitzers are now in warehouses.

With the mass production of 105mm self-propelled howitzers, the production of 155mm self-propelled howitzers has also begun. Half a month ago, the first 155mm self-propelled howitzers were off the assembly line.

In addition, the major columns also have their own auxiliary arms such as transport regiments and engineer regiments. Each column is an independent combat unit with a complete range of arms that can fight alone or in combination.

After the expansion of the No.30 Sixth Army, the ten columns, in addition to the guard division, independent division, flight brigade, antiaircraft artillery brigade, and the navy under construction, totaled more than 60 people.

The No.30 Sixth Army is equipped with more than 1 large trucks, 105 155-caliber howitzers, 720 39-caliber howitzers, more than 1000 Type 39 tanks, and nearly [-] Type [-] armored personnel carriers. There are nearly [-] model off-road vehicles and hundreds of aircraft. A powerful military force has been fully formed.
