reborn super empire

For this way of fighting with large corps, it has its advantages, but it also has fatal weaknesses. This has been fully reflected in Germany in real history.

The reason for the defeat of the German army, in addition to Mustache's liking to change orders day and night, is another very important reason, that is, once the army group headquarters is surrounded or destroyed, then the army group may be finished.

The battle at Stalingrad was a failure because of this. The commander of the Sixth Army Group, Marshal Paulus, was captured, which caused the entire Sixth Army Group to fall into a passive position, causing other army groups that cooperated with it to have to retreat. , a catastrophe can be said to have started from here.

As for this military reform, Su Dao has worked hard, not only shifting the focus of the future army to the group army, but also having sufficient control over the armies below. Although it seems that there will be overlapping commands on the surface, Su Dao Tao has a clear definition of this command overlap.

In other words, the group army is responsible for the mission deployment of all the troops in the entire organizational system, but the group army must also convey the orders issued by the central government to the military headquarters of the following armies verbatim, so as to ensure that each army can clearly understand the combat intention of the central government .

At the same time, in order to ensure that the troops will not be in chaos after the headquarters is destroyed to the greatest extent, in addition to the army headquarters, a second headquarters has also been established in one of the armies within the organizational system. Once the army headquarters is destroyed After that, the Second Command will immediately take over the command of the Army Group Command.

At that time, whether it is a battle or a retreat, it will be under the unified command of the Second Command, that is, two teams in one system.Before each battle, it is necessary to ensure that the personnel of the two teams are complete, and so on.Even if the headquarters is taken away, the chaos in the troops will only last for an hour or two.or shorter.

Of course, the Second Command will always be a backup, and it is not clear whether it will be used, but everything should be prevented before it happens. The example of the Sixth Army Group is dangling in front of Su Dao. Although this is just an example, But Su Dao didn't dare to be careless at all.

He must take precautions against all possible situations to avoid the expansion of the situation and cause actual blows to the troops.

But then again.According to Su Dao's military reform plan, the national military strength can only be reorganized into five to seven group armies. The situation changes.

Although this would sometimes cause a waste of troops, after thinking about it, Su Dao decided to do it.In the future, his battlefields will be Europe and the Americas. Which of these places does not need to deploy at least 300 million troops?

As for some other small places, it is entirely possible to send a group army there, and then take charge of the wars of several countries.Not afraid of too many soldiers, but afraid of having no place to fight.

A week later, in the meeting room of Tran Island.Su Dao sat alone at the top, and a group of soldiers sat below.The lowest rank of these people is also a lieutenant general, and the highest rank is Chen Yuhai and others.Admiral.

At present, although the Chinese Empire already has the rank of marshal, no one has won this honor. This is the rank that Su Dao intends to award in the future. Marshal is no different than other generals. Once these ranks appear, they will definitely be A pillar-like existence of the country.

For these soldiers who have not established invincible achievements, Su Dao did not want to award them the highest honorary rank of the Chinese Empire so early.

Moreover, it may not be a good thing for them to issue it so early, it will make their self-confidence extremely inflated, and they will reach the pinnacle of life at a young age, and they may make something wrong.

"To be able to sit here is the hope for the future of the empire, and it is also an affirmation of your performance in the past few years. I know that everyone is still very young. Being in a high position may change your vision and increase your ambitions.

But, I don't want to see any of you do something unbelievable, and I don't want you to do things that are not sure.

I think you all know the purpose of calling you here, so I won't say any more nonsense, let's get to the point quickly, and after explaining some things, we will each go back to our respective troops to prepare, so as not to waste time. Then something went wrong. "

As soon as Su Dao opened his mouth, he first sounded the alarm for everyone, lest these people's self-confidence would inflate and cause a catastrophe.

"However, I still want to remind you in advance, don't think that I entrust you with a heavy responsibility, just trust you, my purpose is not afraid of you knowing, I just want to roast you on the fire, to see who is steel and who is meat, If anyone dares to make any mistakes, I will not be soft."

After warning everyone again, Su Dao changed his voice and shouted directly:

"Li Chengxuan!"

"To!"

Li Chengxuan stood up abruptly and straightened his body.

"Appoint you as the commander of the First Army. After you go back, you will immediately set up the First Army Command. At the same time, you will be selected for the Second Command. Your position will be vacant for now, and your deputy will take it."

……

Afterwards, Su Dao announced the letters of appointment one by one, and the generals who received the summons felt bursts of excitement in their hearts. Although everyone sitting here today will be entrusted with important tasks, hearing Su Dao personally say the appointment to them, many people Still quite excited.

I thought they were already the highest-ranking generals under the army at this time, but I didn't expect to be able to be promoted to another level now. Commander of the group army, that is the position of commander-in-chief of a million-dollar army, a position that is not even dreamed of on weekdays.

Before that, they were just commanders who commanded an army of 15. Everything existed like a dream. If there were no accidents, their ranks would soon be promoted to generals, and then they would only wait for the establishment of After the unworldly achievements, he will become the first batch of marshals of the Chinese Empire.

This is an excellent opportunity to leave a name forever, and they are just because they followed Su Dao earlier, fought more battles, and had better luck.Not so early to die.

"Liu Ling!"

Immediately afterwards, Su Dao shouted again.

"To!"

Liu Ling stood up and waited for orders.

"Appoint you as the commander of the North Army Group. Responsible for the deployment of combat missions and troop deployment of the First, Third, Fifth, and Seventh Army Groups, and complete the running-in training of the troops as soon as possible. And formulate several sets of combat plans to ensure that the central government issues combat orders After that, the troops must be fully engaged in battle within twelve hours."

Su Dao said seriously.

The three million troops in the Northeast were divided into four group armies, each with a standard deployment of 83 people, and at the same time left about [-] troops as the mobile force of the North Army Group Command.

Su Dao was still a little uneasy about entrusting this position to those army commanders, but at this time when his subordinates were not in charge of the weather, it was impossible for Su Dao to pull out a suitable person to take up this position.

In desperation, Su Dao had no choice but to pull Liu Ling, the deputy chief of the army, out.At any rate, he has stayed in the central government for such a long time, and has some experience in mobilizing and commanding large corps. Before Liu Ling, he also came out of the front-line troops.

It would be an excellent choice to appoint him as the commander of the North Army Group at this time. He only needs to adapt for a while at that time. After the troops run in, the Northeast Army will explode with unbelievable power.

After giving these instructions, Su Dao left some time for everyone to ask questions, and everyone asked what they didn't understand.Su Dao answered one by one.

Anyway, Su Dao had put the harsh words in front of him, and he would punish anyone who dared to lose the chain, so in this session, no one was reluctant to ask questions.On the contrary, each of them was very active, for fear that some problems would be missed.

In the end, this meeting was of great significance to the Chinese Empire.There is still no more than one day in front of Su Dao's old rules, if not for the questioning session taking a little longer.It is estimated that this meeting will not even take half a day.

After these things were settled, the commanders of the group army who were entrusted with important tasks that night returned to their respective sites by plane.And Liu Ling was a loner, so it was relatively simple to leave. He pulled a few guards and asked them to clean up a little, put them in a bag and leave.

Anyway, the chief of his job in the military department is very clear, so there is no need for him to stay and hand over, and now there is no one to take up this position. It is extremely difficult to even select a commander of the group army. Where can I find someone to replace him? Undersecretary of the Army position?

At this military meeting, the entire Chinese Empire's army was divided into seven larger units, namely the [-] Army. In addition, it was intended to form an Eighth Armored Army in a single group, but the Eighth Armored Army was short-term. It cannot appear in time.

Because the existing armored group army will be split up and dispersed among the various group armies, and the newcomers trained by the armored group army have not yet met the requirements for the division, so they will take these newcomers to the new unit together, and wait for them to pass After that, either stay there, or come out to form the Eighth Panzer Army.

The 80st, 150rd, [-]th, and [-]th Army Groups are in the Northeast and have been included in the battle order of the North Army Group. The Second Army Group is responsible for guarding the security of all parts of the country. Although it has only [-] troops, with the cooperation of the domestic armed police forces, it can The number of troops used to maintain domestic stability has approached [-] million.

Moreover, these troops do not need to have separate field hospitals. They have designated hospitals in various places, which are used as military hospitals during wartime and open to the outside world in peacetime.

The Fourth Army is still in the country, but part of it has been used in Australia. Like the Sixth Army, Su Dao positions them as a mobile force, where they need to go. When there is no mission, there is only one mission, which is training.

The navy has not changed much, and there is no surprise. It has been divided into three fleets, namely the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet and a Royal Internal Guard Fleet.

As the name suggests, the only two aircraft carrier battle groups are divided into two, the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet each have an aircraft carrier battle group. The future ownership of the aircraft carrier battle group under training has not yet been explained, but it is very likely if there are no accidents Equipped with the Internal Guard Fleet.

Because although the inner guard fleet has the smallest number of troops, the task load is not easy at all.Although the other two fleets have become pure combat fleets, what about the hundreds of Victory Ships currently owned by the Navy in terms of logistics?Naturally, the Internal Guard Fleet is in charge, and the general escort is also in charge of the Internal Guard Fleet.

Unless it is an ocean escort, then only two fleets can do it.Besides, the air force has not changed a bit, but reorganized the [-] fighters temporarily assigned to Li Zhi's subordinates, and was named the First Battle Group of the Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Li Zhi will be the commander, and the rest of the domestic air force will also follow the previous establishment.

At night, Su Dao looked at the north quietly, and sighed secretly, he had done everything that should be done, and now he just waited for the war to start. (To be continued..)
