Glorious Mission 1937

The entire process of the hostage exchange went smoothly. The Japanese did not make any mistakes during the process, and Chen Feng did not back down. On April 4, the two sides successfully completed the exchange.

During this period, the Kwantung Army successively mobilized 6 divisions, 2 mixed brigades and a large number of technical arms from the Northeast region to Hailar for reinforcements. After the exchange was completed, Chen Feng also knew that he had lost the best opportunity to capture Hulun Buir. Now If we continue to attack, not to mention whether we can defeat the Japanese army, even if we win, the casualties will definitely be heavy. Therefore, Chen Feng decided to focus on consolidating the occupied area for the time being, and stop launching new attacks on the Japanese army.

The eighth war zone of this battle dispatched a full 15 troops, including one division, one brigade of armored troops and two airborne brigades. The Ninth Division, one of the elite master regiments, was about to capture the entire territory of Hulunbeier and create another miracle in the battle of the Eighth Theater, but in the end it fell short because of the defeat of the navy.

Although it didn't start well and end well, the eighth theater of this battle still achieved considerable results. First, it wiped out a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. In this confrontation, the Japanese army dispatched two reorganized divisions and a large number of puppet troops. The number of troops exceeded 2, but less than 7 were wounded and returned to the Japanese-controlled area safely after the war, which means that the Japanese army lost a total of about 3 troops in this battle.

This is not counting the large number of pilots and fighters lost by the Kwantung Army's Second Flying Group and the Fifth Flying Group. If these are added, the losses of the Japanese army will be even more.

In addition, the Japanese army not only lost important military towns such as Hailar and Manzhouli in this battle.They also lost Barhu Left Banner, Right Banner, Chen Barhu Banner, Genhe and other counties, which accounted for almost one-half of Hulunbuir's territory, and the loss was not insignificant.

Of course, the losses of Chen Feng's troops in this battle were not small, but a battalion of fighter jets was damaged, and more than 2300 army casualties were caused, of which [-] were killed and more than [-] were injured. The most costly battle in the Eighth War Zone in recent times, of course.This does not include the loss of the Heilongjiang Fleet.

After the war, the little fox gave Chen Feng's command level only one pass.The system score is also pitifully low, only a little over 5000 points. This is based on the premise that the Air Force has severely damaged the Kwantung Army's second and fifth flight groups. In the words of the little fox.This is still a friendly price.If it really counts, how can there be so many points.

Chen Feng calculated.If calculated according to the exchange price given by the system, comparing all the weapons and equipment lost in this battle, 7 to 80 fighters and nearly 20 warships alone would be worth tens of thousands of points.The points gained in this war are far from enough to make up for the losses of the war, which means that this battle has lost money, and it has been a big loss.

With the matter at this point, Chen Feng had no other choice.However, this aroused Chen Feng's strong desire to vigorously build up the navy, so he handed over all affairs in the north to Shi Jianfei, Zhang Jingjun and others to handle, while he returned to Guisui alone.

After returning to Guisui, Chen Feng first went home to have a look, mainly to see his two little ones, and when he saw that there was nothing to do at home, he devoted himself to work again.

The losses in this battle fell short, but the Mongolian Northern War Zone fought very well, which also made Chen Feng extremely happy. The troops developed rapidly before, which directly led to the confusion of the numbering of the Eighth War Zone. In addition, the current territory of the Eighth War Zone One by one, the group army is no longer enough to deal with the next war, so Chen Feng came up with the strategic unit with the military area as the theater.

Facts have proved that this idea is very good, and the time effect is very good. In order to deal with the next more cruel war, Chen Feng decided to divide all the troops in the entire military region into military regions. The entire theater is divided into 8 military regions, namely Guisui Special Military Region, Suixi Military Region, Suidong Military Region, Northern Mongolian Military Region, Northern Shanxi Military Region, Northern Hebei Military Region, Southern Hebei Military Region and Nanyang Military Region.

In addition, the theater directly governs the Theater Guard Division, Armored Army, Air Defense Army, 2nd Artillery Division, 3rd Artillery Division, 4th Artillery Division, and the Northern Air Force.

In view of the fact that the Japanese army can ambush the Heilongjiang Fleet at sea without any scruples, Chen Feng believes that the Japanese army is ready for a battle with the United States and Britain, so Chen Feng decided to strengthen the armed forces of the Nanyang Territory.

Don't look at the current Nanyang Territory's regular troops plus the militia, which is a total of 16 to 7 troops, but the militia is a militia after all, and its combat effectiveness is very limited. Therefore, Chen Feng believes that it is necessary to dispatch 2-3 divisions to the Nanyang Territory to prevent the Japanese from landing on the island. fight.

On April 4th, Chen Feng issued a reorganization order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the theater. Although many soldiers complained about the continuous adjustment of troops in the theater, Chen Feng did not respond to this. importance.

As the scale of war continues to expand, small formations can no longer meet the needs of troops. Large corps of 10,000+ or ​​even tens of thousands of people is the development trend of future wars. Before large-scale wars have fully arrived, adjust The most important thing at present is to turn the small organization into a large army.

In addition, the military region is actually equivalent to the national government's theater-level organization, which is larger than the group army. Although the organization of the reorganized division is smaller than the group army, it is larger than the division, and can be used as a strategic unit. It needs to be adjusted, and the next time is how to fight the war.

After the order was issued, the entire Eighth War Zone was mobilized. Although Chen Feng appointed the commanders and deputy commanders of each military zone, he did not make any specific appointments for the other units of each military zone. All these need to be reported by each military zone after confirmation The theater is waiting for review, and after the review is passed, it will be recorded at the theater command.

The big move in the eighth war zone not only shocked the Japanese, but also disturbed the national government. Especially after Lao Jiang received the telegram from Kang Ze and others, he became a little anxious.On the surface, it seems that this is just a small-scale adjustment made by the eighth theater to the troops under its command.

But in Lao Jiang's view, the problem is far from being so simple, because after this adjustment, the Eighth Theater has a large corps with a strength of more than 10,000. The organization of the large corps is different from the small one. The establishment is prepared for a large-scale war. If it is just a group army, it is nothing. A theater can have a designation like a group army, because it is entirely possible for the Japanese to dispatch tens of thousands or even [-] at a time when they attack the Chinese theater. + people.

However, such a large military establishment is different. There are millions of troops in several military districts, and even one has 10,000+ troops. It is completely unnecessary to fight against the Japanese army's troops at the first level. Chen Feng's way of doing so must be different. There is an intention, and what is the intention, Lao Jiang is quite entangled in his heart. (To be continued..)
