Glorious Mission 1937

Chen Feng was very surprised by the candidate reported by Yan'an. He actually transferred the No. 18 Group Army's left deputy chief of staff to Saibei to serve as the vice chairman.Regarding the deeds of Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, there is probably no soldier who will not know in future generations. This is the highest-ranking military and political cadre who died in Yan'an during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The Yan'an side was all generous, and they transferred the two generals to Saibei, which made Chen Feng a little embarrassed.To be honest, although he has absorbed both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party into the Northern Saibei Provincial Government, whether it is the former Chahar Provincial Government or the current Saibei Provincial Government, the main departments are still in the hands of Chen Feng himself. Half of the power departments in Sebei Province, but the actual power is actually very limited.

Of course, the KMT and the Communist Party actually still have benefits. The penicillin medicines that the KMT government bought from Chen Feng from 38 to now are worth 10 billion U.S. dollars, and the net profit is at least 10 billion U.S. dollars. In turn, the KMT government used the money He bought the weapons and equipment of 9 divisions from Chen Feng's command, and there are still seven or eight hundred million yuan left, which can be said to have greatly eased the financial crisis of the national government. This is the main reason why Lao Jiang did not dare to easily turn against Chen Feng.

The situation in Yan'an was similar, they were poor, so Chen Feng gave a huge discount on medicines, almost half selling and half free, of course Chen Feng was very strict about the quantity, basically they could only be used by the Eighth Route Army themselves and could not be sold outside.In addition, Chen Feng also took good care of Yan'an in terms of weapons and equipment. The equipment of the 11 infantry divisions only charged them less than 280 million yuan, which was less than one-tenth of the national government's price.

Of course.This is also different from the equipment required by Yan'an. The national government only wants German equipment and Japanese equipment, and dismisses those miscellaneous equipment.But the Yan'an side never refuses anyone who comes, as long as it is guns and medicines, they want it, so all the messy weapons and equipment captured by the puppet army under Chen Feng's troops in the past two years were all sold to the Eighth Route Army, which also made the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment more expensive than in history. There are too many strong ones. [

After the government meeting ended, Chen Feng immediately issued an order to convene a military meeting of officers above the division level in the entire theater. All officers must attend, and they cannot ask for leave for any reason.

The content of this meeting is only one.That is military expansion.World War II is about to kick off.The Soviet-German non-aggression pact has been signed, which solved the worries of the Soviet Union. Hitler and his Nazi Germany will immediately show their hideous true colors, and the flames of war in Europe will immediately be ignited.Therefore, it is imperative to continue to expand the army.

按照陈锋的扩军计划。现有的7个步兵师扩编到15个。除了101、222、独立第七师、暂编第10师、警卫师、警备师、教导师之外，增加北方第四师、特混1师、2师、3师、4师、5师、6师、7师，这新增的8个步兵师全是由之前的特混旅扩编而来。

另外。在步兵方面重新组建8个特混旅。组建完成后第八战区将会拥有15个步兵师、4个特混旅，总兵力为36万。当然，第八战区原有的88个守备团下降到了11个，总兵力为33万人。

炮兵方面新增2个山炮旅、2个野炮旅、2个重炮旅，加上原有的3个炮兵旅共计9个炮兵旅，总兵力54万人。

In terms of armored forces, it is planned to add 2 armored divisions. So far, the Eighth Theater will have 3 armored divisions and 3 armored brigades, with a total of 45 people and 3000 various tanks and armored vehicles.

Now the Eighth War Zone has a total of 1400 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, mainly T34 tanks. There are more than 1100 tanks, and the rest are all Japanese-made light tanks.Now Chen Feng still has a light tank production line in his hands. According to the instructions, if the raw materials are sufficient, this production line can produce 300 tanks per month, plus the monthly production capacity of the t34 tank production line of 300 vehicles. To produce all the tanks needed by an armored division, if it weren't for the need for educated soldiers to operate the tanks, Chen Feng really wanted to expand 10 armored divisions at once, and then form an armored group army, and then sweep the North China Plain.

Moreover, starting from this year, the eighth theater will expand two t34 tank production lines, and the production capacity is expected to reach an astonishing 17 tanks per month.Even so, it is still far behind the Soviet Union. Chen Feng remembered that the Soviet Union invested a total of 18000 tanks in World War II. Except for the 15 tanks aided by the United States, the remaining [-] tanks were produced by the Soviet Union itself. of.

More importantly, the Soviet Union lost the most important industrial area in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the war. The arsenals in Siberia and the Far East alone produced at least 4 tanks in the Soviet Union in 13 years. There will be a war with the Soviet Union, so Chen Feng now needs a large increase in armored troops.

The air defense force plans to add one division, plus the original division, a total of 2 divisions with 16 people.

The number of soldiers in the special warfare base has increased by 5000, and the number of special forces in the eighth theater has expanded to 8000.

The army aviation force plans to increase to four army aviation brigades, each brigade has two regiments with 4 fighters, and the army aviation force has a total strength of 340.

The cavalry units were reduced again, and the cavalry of each unit was reduced by 50% again, and all the sources of troops were transferred to armored or infantry.The number of cavalry in the whole army remained at about [-].

The armed forces of the intelligence department will also be expanded. In addition to the peripheral forces, the regular anti-rape team will increase from the current three regiments of 4500 people to six regiments of 6 people.

此外，空军也要扩编，增加航空旅的建制，在北方空军司令部下面增设3个战斗机旅、3个轰炸机旅、2个运输机旅、2个侦察机团、1个雷达团。另增设2个空降旅。

So far, the Northern Air Force will become a huge group with 3100 fighter planes and 64 soldiers.

However, since the eighth war zone is not yet able to produce its own aircraft, special means are needed to complete this expansion task.In the past year, the Soviet Union handed over to Chen Feng's 780 fighters of various types.The United States handed over 400 aircraft to Chen Feng, plus the previous 600 or so, there are now a total of 1800 fighter aircraft of various types in the eighth war zone.

And if Chen Feng's expansion plan was implemented, there would still be a shortage of 2600 fighters for the Army Aviation and Air Force units in the Eighth Theater. Apart from continuing to urge the United States and the Soviet Union to deliver goods quickly, Chen Feng also planned to build his own airfield.He has already checked that a production line with a monthly output of 100 domestic J-6 fighter jets and the supporting weapons and medicine production line needs 18 credits. The MiG 15 with similar performance and the American F86 are about the same price.Bombers, transport planes, and reconnaissance planes are relatively cheaper, but not by much.

现在陈锋手里一共有6万多积分，加上系统每月可以兑换1万积分。要是把这几个月积攒的机会都兑换掉的话。他可以拥有至少13万分。除掉给老婆们改造身体所需的16万积分的话，他还可以兑换6条飞机生产线。[

He plans to exchange 1 fighter production line, 1 bomber production line, 1 transport aircraft production line and [-] helicopter production line first.The remaining points are accumulated first, in case of a rainy day.

The establishment of the Navy will remain unchanged for the time being, except that the establishment of the Marine Corps will be expanded to 16 people per division.For the time being, this division first went to Wuliangsuhai for beach landing training.Wait until the navy really has its own large fleet participating in actual combat training.

按照陈锋与美苏两国的协议。到年底他们将要交付第八战区近60艘战舰，其中包括2艘重巡洋舰、6艘轻巡洋舰、10艘驱逐舰、10艘护卫舰、2艘补给舰、2艘布雷舰、2艘扫雷舰、10艘鱼雷艇、10艘潜艇、2艘运输救护舰、2艘海上猎潜舰。再加上不久前向美苏两国购买的42艘退役的战舰，到年底北方海军将会拥有近百艘大小舰船。这相当于日军的一支大型舰队了。即便是太平洋战争开始之时，日本海军也只有不到三百艘战舰。

Of course, the strength of the navy is not calculated according to the number of warships. Regardless of the quality of naval officers and soldiers, the main equipment of ships alone is also very interesting.As far as these warships of the Northern Navy are really inferior to a squadron of the Japanese army, first of all, there are only two real large battleships of these warships of the Northern Navy, which are the two large cruisers. The flagship of the fleet competes against each other, and other warships can only fight against each other.

As for the Japanese Navy, there are 12 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 8 aircraft carriers, and 15 heavy cruisers. As for the light cruisers, there are as many as 49, 119 destroyers, and 64 frigates. So the Northern Navy Not only the number of warships is not enough, but the quality is even worse.

Therefore, the starting point for the development of the navy is to use these rags for the time being. Although these things are not very good, they are still very good for training troops.After the outbreak of the Pacific War, he exchanged several warships of later generations as flagships to rapidly increase the strength of the entire fleet.

He also inquired about the price of naval warships. An Essex-class conventional powered aircraft carrier only costs 8000 points. Even if there is no mission reward, Chen Feng can exchange for more than a dozen such aircraft carriers in a year.The advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is more expensive, but it is only 15 points, and it can be exchanged for five, six, seven or eight ships in two years. In addition, the more than 160 warships customized by the United States and the Soviet Union can completely compete with the Japanese Navy. longer and shorter.

According to the overall expansion plan, after the expansion of the Eighth Theater is completed, the army will have a total of 54 infantry, 64 air force, 39 navy, and a total of 643 million troops. The expansion rate is 50% of the existing force.

Although Yang Yi and others were worried that the rapid expansion of the army would inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the army, Chen Feng was not worried. Although the army would increase by 20 people at once, it was only half a year since the last expansion, but Chen Feng believed that in the future The iron-clad camp in the eighth war zone will definitely be able to handle this problem well.

On the one hand, the eighth war zone has been preparing for a large-scale military expansion since last year. The 88 garrison regiments formed by the Ministry of Armed Forces are no show. Presumably after more than a year of military training, the soldiers of those garrison regiments should not be considered new recruits.Therefore, the soldiers expanded to the various units this time are veterans who have undergone formal military training, not recruits. Although these units may not adapt for a period of time, they will not have much impact on the actual combat of the units. (to be continued...)
