Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 101 Field Infantry Division

After the Independent Fleet defeated the main force of the Royal Navy of Orensa, in addition to the captured seven dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships and eight ironclad battleships, the system rewarded two Count Cavour-class dreadnought battleships, two One Guba-class dreadnought battleship, three Florida-class dreadnought battleship and four Connecticut-class dreadnought-class battleship were given to Su Yi.

This has greatly increased the size of the independent fleet, especially the five teams under the fourth battleship squadron that benefited the most. Among them, the Count of Cavour-class dreadnought battleships of the No.12 team increased from five to seven. .

The Guba-class dreadnought battleships of the No. 13 team also increased from five to seven, and the Florida-class dreadnought battleships of the No. 14 team changed from four to seven.

The number of Ji-class dreadnought battleships of the No.15 team has increased to ten, the number of Ji-class dreadnought battleships of the No.16 team has increased to nine, and the seven captured Orenza Royal Navy dreadnought battleships were all named Ji by Su Yi. word level.

In addition, the No.20 battleship of the Fifth Squadron of the Independent Fleet, the Connecticut-class pre-dreadnought battleship increased from four to eight.

The No.20 First Squadron and the No.20 Second Squadron under the Sixth Squadron of the Independent Fleet each added two Lake-class pre-dreadnought battleships, and these four Lake-class ships were captured by the Independent Fleet of the Royal Navy of Orenza. The four pre-dreadnought battleships of the

In the No.20 III and No.20 IV squadrons under the Sixth Squadron of the Independent Fleet, the number of ironclad battleships has been changed to ten, and each has added four ironclad battleships from the former Orenza Royal Navy.

As for the two large armored cruisers, three medium-sized armored cruisers, [-] light cruisers and [-] destroyers captured by the Royal Navy of Orenza, they were scattered among the numerous armored cruiser formations, light cruiser formations and destroyer formations of the independent fleet. middle.

Eighteen torpedo boats from the Royal Navy of Orenza were seized, mixed with ten torpedo boats from the Independent Fleet, and reorganized into two lightning strike teams.

Because the Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province, and Shanjiang Province that Su Yi leased from the Ziyue Empire are all inland and have no outlets to the sea, the independent fleet still controls Anbo Port and has not returned it to the Ziyue Empire. .

The land area of ​​the Cangyu Empire is approximately 800 million square kilometers, and it is the largest country in the Eastern Continent and the second largest country in the world. However, the Cangyu Empire does not have an outlet in the Western Ocean.

To the south of the Cangyu Empire, there are Weiyue Kingdom, Guhe Kingdom and Xiyou Kingdom, which separated the Cangyu Empire from the Western Ocean, so Su Yi decided to transfer the main force of the independent fleet to Kangshan Port and Xingang City , Kangshan Port and Xingang City are both in the Eastern Ocean, and the Cangyu Empire has a long coastline in the Eastern Ocean.

After the Su family troops from Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province, and Shanjiang Province launched an attack on the Cangyu Empire, the independent fleet can completely seize a foothold on the northern coastline of the Cangyu Empire and open up the Su family army in the Cangyu Empire. The second battlefield in the empire.

Weiyue Kingdom, Guhe Kingdom, Langyue Kingdom and Xiyou Kingdom, plus Lanshui Kingdom, Dongyao Kingdom, Wubei Kingdom and Heile Kingdom to the north of Liuyun Empire, as well as Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, Zi Yuesiguo is all the countries in the Eastern Continent. The area of ​​these twelve countries alone is almost 2000 million square kilometers.

Among them, the four nations of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue accounted for two-thirds, and the other eight nations divided up the remaining one-third.

Because the Su family army is expanding its army in Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province, the demand for weapons and ammunition is very large. Railway transportation alone can no longer meet the needs of the Su family army expansion, so Su Yi had to go to Ziyue in person. The northern part of the empire, after all, has a systematic Su Yi, which is equivalent to a mobile super large arsenal.

On the afternoon of March 3012, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in the Governor's Mansion in Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province, Su Yi smiled and said to He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen: "Yunfei, Ziwen, you have worked hard for a while."

Among the eastern countries, each province directly under the royal family has a governor, who is responsible for handling the civil affairs of the entire province.

He Yunfei immediately said: "The commander-in-chief came at the right time. Now our Su family army has assembled forty field infantry divisions in Dingnan, Luochuan, Lianshan and Shanjiang provinces, but we are short of almost four. Three-thirds of the weapons and equipment."

In this expansion of the Su Family Army, in order to facilitate the command, with Su Yi's approval, the Su Family Army has a division-level organization.

Each infantry division consists of three infantry brigades, three divisional heavy artillery regiments, a logistics transport brigade, a guard regiment, an engineering regiment and a division headquarters. Each divisional heavy artillery regiment is equipped with twelve 155mm howitzers and 24 There are 105mm howitzers, and the strength of the entire infantry division is 8.

Su Yi nodded and said: "I came this time to solve the problem of weapons and ammunition for the troops. In addition, I want to discuss with you the specific time for attacking the Cangyu Empire."

Cheng Ziwen immediately said: "Marshal, although the forty field infantry divisions have reached full strength, but for these forty field infantry divisions to go to the battlefield, at least a period of time has to be waited. It is best to set the time for the attack." In early June."

He Yunfei went on to say: "Commander, besides forty field infantry divisions, in the four provinces of Dingnan, Luochuan, Lianshan, and Shanjiang, we only have four infantry brigades and four infantry brigades. Marine brigades, and the forty field infantry divisions have too many new recruits, so the attack on the Cangyu Empire can only wait for a while."

Su Yi then said: "In this case, let's temporarily set the time to attack the Cangyu Empire on June [-]st, but this time our Su family army needs to face the coalition forces of the Sharad Empire and the Cangyu Empire. Some more field infantry divisions have to be added."

He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen looked at each other, and then He Yunfei said: "Marshal, it is of course good to have more troops, but the more troops, the greater the monthly military expenditure. We are worried..."

Su Yi smiled and waved his hands and said: "You don't need to worry about military expenses. Now, relying on the taxes from Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shanjiang Province alone is enough to support forty field infantry divisions. What's more, I still have a lot of savings in my hand, and strive to expand more than ten field infantry divisions before June [-]st to serve as the reserve team."

Su Yi has no shortage of weapons and ammunition, and can buy [-] army-type junior combat biochemicals and [-] navy-type junior combat biochemicals from the system mall every month. Well, in more than two months, it is not difficult to expand more than a dozen field infantry divisions.
