The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 345 A Strong Soldier and a Strong Horse

Of course it was a joy!

Germany is the originator of special operations, and even the originator of the modern army. The Chinese can teach the Germans a lesson, at least to satisfy Wu Aihua's vanity.

Don't be surprised, everyone has vanity, in other words, everyone will pay attention to "face".

However, this is just a small pleasure.The training of German special forces can make Europe more brutal, make the European war more dark, and weaken the great powers even more. This is a great pleasure.

Because, there is an eternal truth in this world, that is, when the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman wins!

In the two World War IIs in history, the United States was the biggest "fisherman"; in World War II in parallel time and space, China may also become the "fisherman".

However, Wu Aihua is not the only smart person in the world. China wants to be a fisherman, but some people don't give China the opportunity to be a "fisherman".

In July 1938, after Sheng Shicai was dealt with decisively by the National Defense Forces, the Chahar Northern Base Troops of the National Defense Forces and the Majia Troops in Qinghai and Gansu quickly dispatched troops to Xinjiang, basically controlling the situation in Xinjiang within two months .Then, the Northwest Front Army of the National Defense Forces was formed, and the four major armies, including the 7th Army, the 4th Army, and the 10nd Army, marched towards Xinjiang while training.

In addition, the five cavalry divisions of the 2nd Cavalry Army of the National Defense Forces, with Ma Bufang as the commander, He Zhuguo as the deputy commander, and Tan Zixin as the chief of staff, had just been formed, and they immediately went to Xinjiang before they had time to train.

In Wu Aihua's original plan, there was no cavalry establishment, or some border cavalry could be reduced. However, after Wu Aihua entered the center, he discovered that the original national army series still had a rather large cavalry establishment. There are nearly 10 divisions, in addition to many independent cavalry brigades and cavalry regiments.

This was originally a sequelae left by Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, in order to appease the local government, Lao Jiang issued a "letter of appointment" as long as he was capable and "obedient".To be honest, except for a few units of these cavalry, such as Ma Zhanshan’s Northeast ### Army (cavalry army), which still has some national consciousness, the other cavalry are all local warlord forces, and they have not done many good things. No less work.

However, Wu Aihua could not "eliminate" these people.Because these cavalrymen know nothing but horsemanship.Letting it wander in the society is very likely to cause hidden dangers for the local area.

Therefore, Wu Aihua had to organize another cavalry unit.

But how to organize the cavalry is a problem.

Seeing the head of Monk Wu Aihua, unable to (post), the chief of the general staff began to suggest, "President, we can consider forming troops such as cavalry, heavy artillery, and armor into an independent group army directly under the jurisdiction of the command headquarters. In this way, it can also be regarded as A mobile unit of our national defense force."

After repeated research by the High Command, in addition to the Air Force, Navy, Six Front Armies, Local Garrison and Reserve Forces, and the Coast Guard, the National Defense Forces also created a huge "independent army group"!

This "independent army group" directly under the headquarters has 3 cavalry armies, 3 armored armies, 3 artillery armies, and 5 "code-named" armies including the S army, the H army, the K army, the B army, and the F army. .

So far, the national defense force created by Wu Aihua really has a little "modern" flavor.

Modernization does not mean advanced equipment or modernization. It includes the modernization and scientization of military thinking and establishment.

Because Wu Aihua comes from later generations, he has analyzed war materials such as World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan War, Anglo-Afghan War, Middle East War, Gulf War, etc., so his mind is full of three-dimensional wars of tanks, artillery fire, warships, and aircraft; In the formation of troops, the supremacy of firepower and the supremacy of mobility are especially advocated.

From the perspective of real military strategists like Jiang Baili, Wu Aihua used to fight wars purely with money!It's completely a prodigal style of play.Of course, Wu Aihua's national strategy, army building strategy, combat tactics, and troop training are all very advanced or even advanced, but Wu Aihua's military thinking is "more than rigid" and "not soft enough".

Later, Wu Aihua also gradually understood that what is suitable is the best truth.

This is also the reason why these "independent army groups" were successfully born before March 1939.

The three major cavalry armies, the commanders are Sun Lianzhong, Ma Bufang, and Ma Zhanshan; the deputy commanders are Zhao Chengshou, He Zhuguo, and Zheng Dazhang; the chiefs of staff are Chen Shihao, Tan Zixin, and Men Bingyue.Except for Chen Shihao, who was the former commander of the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Army, everyone else was a former cavalry general of the National Army (the king thought for a long time, let these historical figures shine).

Sun Lianzhong, the earliest general of the Northwest Army of Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 30th Army of the National Army, belonged to the brave generals who dared to fight and kill; Ma Bufang, a representative of the Majia Army in Qinghai; Ma Zhanshan, an anti-Japanese hero after the September [-]th Incident.Zhao Chengshou, He Zhuguo, and Zheng Dazhang were the commanders of the first, second, and third cavalry armies of the national army respectively.

编制方面，武爱华依然崇尚大编制：每排38人，每连三排120人；每营三连加骑炮连（6门92式步兵炮）500人；每团三营1500人，每师三团加骑炮营（36门92式步兵炮，含骑炮连数字）5200人；每军五师加骑兵后卫团团27000人。三大骑兵集团军总人数不超过8.5万人。

The basic equipment of the cavalry includes sabers, pistols, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, mg42 squad machine guns, etc.The equipment mainly highlights the two characteristics of lightness and speed.

The cavalry group army can be organized in 5 divisions, but the troops below can only be organized in 3 divisions temporarily.

The 1st Group Army of the Armored Forces was reorganized from the former Armored Division of the National Defense Forces. Commander Zong Shaohua (General of Three Stars), Deputy Commander Sun Yuantao (Lieutenant General), and Chief of Staff Li Qi (Lieutenant General).

The 2nd Armored Army, Commander Zheng Dongguo (Samsung General), Deputy Commander Li Jinkun (Lieutenant General), Chief of Staff Hou Jingru (Lieutenant General).Zheng Dongguo was a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War and an anti-Japanese hero; Li Jinkun was the commander of the former Chahar Independent Army; Hou Jingru was also a famous general of the national army. When the Southwest was liberated in 1950, he refused to surrender to the PLA and was shot dead.

The 3rd Army of the Equipment Corps, Commander Chen Mingren (General of Three Stars), Deputy Commander Zhu Huai (Lieutenant General), and Chief of Staff Guo Punian (Lieutenant General).Chen Mingren was also a famous anti-Japanese general. In the first "bloody battle against Siping", the famous Chinese general Lin B was not his opponent;

The artillery was also expanded into three major armies.

The 1st Artillery Army, commander Jin Xibin (three-star general), deputy commander Song Liming (Lieutenant General), chief of staff Wang Baoxing (Lieutenant General).

The 2nd Artillery Army, Commander Sun Yuanliang (three-star general), deputy commander Qu Jingxun (Lieutenant General), chief of staff Bao Hai (Lieutenant General).Sun Yuanliang is the former commander of the 88th Division of the National Army and a famous general in the Songhu War of Resistance. His father is Sun Zhen, a general of the National Army, his son is Qin Han, a famous Taiwanese actor, and his grandson is also a Taiwanese idol star.

Artillery 3rd Army, Commander Xiao Junhu (Lieutenant General), Deputy Commander Xiao Dai (Lieutenant General), Chief of Staff Huang Yongan.Among them, Xiao Dai was the former artillery commander of the Jinsui Army.

The artillery has a total of 9 divisions, of which the commanders of the 1st to 6th divisions are all former artillery brigade commanders of the national army, and the 7th to 9th divisions are the former commanders of the independent field artillery regiment of the national army.Compared with the quick artillery talents of the National Defense Forces, most of the artillery generals of the national army are graduates of military schools.

The five "codenamed" armies belong to the "experimental" forces.

The full name of the s Group Army is the "Independent 1st (Mountain, Code: s) Group Army", the commander Li Mo'an (three-star general), the deputy commander Wang Xiao (Lieutenant General), and the chief of staff Cao Lin (major general).Among them, Li Mo'an was the commander of the 10th Division of the German Army and the commander of the 14th Army of the National Army.Wang Xiao was the commander of the 071 Division of the former National Defense Forces.

The full name of Army Group H is "Independent 2nd (Amphibious, Code: h) Army", commanded by Gao Bing; the full name of Army Group K is "Independent 3rd (Airborne, Code: K) Army", and its commander Cui Youxue; the full name of Army Group B is " The independent 4th (Northern, code name: b) Army", the commander Yin Hongming; the full name of the f group army is the "Independent 5th (Chemical Defense, code name: f) Army", the commander Liu Liangchao.

The commanders of the 2nd to 5th armies are all division commanders under the former Zhou Changbing. These guys have just been division commanders for a few months, and then became army commanders. Promotion is like riding a rocket.Therefore, their military ranks are lower than other army commanders anyway, they are just "Lieutenant General"; while the commanders of other group armies basically belong to "three-star general".

Before the formation of these "independent army groups" was completed, the formation of a total of 24 group armies of the six major front armies had been completed long ago.The reorganization of the former national army, especially the local warlords, went very smoothly.Firstly, in every reorganization site of the old national army, there was at least one National Defense Army company sitting in the formation, and no one dared to disturb it; secondly, Wu Aihua also knew that these people were not easy, and he was very generous in the discharge fee.

An ordinary soldier is 100 yuan (equivalent to a buyout, and will no longer enjoy relevant treatment in the future), squad leader 120 yuan, deputy platoon leader 150 yuan, platoon leader 20 yuan, company commander 300 yuan, battalion commander 600 yuan, regiment leader 1200 yuan, and more And so on.However, as for officers above the platoon leader, as long as they are graduates of the military academy and have no obvious bad habits, most of them are persuaded to stay and only recruit according to their ability after entering the military academy for training again.As for ordinary soldiers, if they received 100 yuan as a dismissal fee, they could basically build a few large tile-roofed houses among the people, which is considered a good fortune in this era.

Of course, these veterans who are forced to leave the army can also join the engineering team to build roads and factories.Wu Aihua's engineering corps is not the same as the engineering corps of later generations.The engineering soldiers of later dynasties belonged to the army; while Wu Aihua’s engineering soldiers were managed militarily, but they belonged to the nature of the enterprise. After the employees entered, they had corresponding benefits such as labor insurance, medical care, pension, insurance, etc. But the money has to be shared by the engineering troops and soldiers.

Engineers, the implementation of militarized management is nothing more than an extraordinary measure in an extraordinary period.
