Revolution 1938

After saying this, Zhou Xiangyu stopped again, picked up the tea mug at hand and took a sip. At this time, in a corner of the conference hall, the curtain covering a huge white projection screen was pulled down, and the entire conference hall The lights gradually dimmed.A light blue beam of light is projected on it.Gradually focus into a mighty chariot.

As the comrade who arranged for the electronic speech to be played raised up three fingers of his right hand, Zhou Xiangyu coughed a few words and then continued to report.

"Comrades, in the first half of 1938 our party made great strides in military construction.

First of all, the problem of equipment construction that has been plaguing us in the construction of our party's army has been basically solved.Through the efforts of our party comrades in recent years, we have established the future equipment structure of our army.We are about to completely get rid of the dilemma of using foreign cards and relying on seized equipment, and will establish our free and independent equipment system. "

As soon as Zhou Xiangyu finished speaking, the whole venue burst into applause.Zhou Xiangyu paused here, waiting for everyone's applause to subside.Then move on.

"This change shows that we have ended the stage of strategic defense. The strategic policy set by the central government at the beginning of the year as the main defense and supplemented by development will also be adjusted appropriately. Under the guidance of the policy, a great victory in the war against Japan was achieved.

So I am here to explain the development and organization of our troops so far.

First of all, our army has now officially changed its name to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.The purpose is to liberate the oppressed people across the country and strive to build a new and powerful state system for China. Therefore, the goal of building our army will be a long-term work.

In order to meet the needs of future battles, the overall force will undergo all-round adjustments in terms of services.Our army will no longer be an army limited to ground operations. Our army will be divided into five major services according to the direction of operations.

The first branch of the military is still the army.Now the establishment of our army's army is one group army after another new formation. The imbalance in our external establishment is due to the fact that we cannot withdraw from the Anti-Japanese National United Front with the Republican Party government as the core at this stage. Therefore, in the following period Within a short period of time, we still use this compilation method to publicize externally.

However, our China is a country with a long border, and not all our neighbors love peace. Our China has been bleeding under the iron heels of the great powers for hundreds of years, and a large amount of our land has been divided by the great powers, so we must build A strong army.

Based on this policy, as well as the needs of the current war against Japan and the subsequent changes in the international situation, the central government decided to establish a large-scale army with a population of about 120 million.This includes infantry, armor, artillery, and Army aviation units, as well as corresponding logistics units.

Due to the different combat areas of each army, these armies will also be built into mountain troops, amphibious troops, and armored troops.

Let me mainly explain the preparation below.

All army units mainly implement the group army system for the combat needs of the past 10 years. In principle, the general army maintains 20 group armies, each with 6 people.The three-three system is adopted, with three divisions and three brigades directly under the group army.Each division has three brigades, each brigade has three regiments, and so on.

As of today, we have built four armies, namely the 1st Army, the 4th Army, the 18th Army and the 38th Army.

Among them, the 1st Group Army is mainly responsible for the battle in the southern water and hilly areas. It is equipped with a large number of amphibious armored combat vehicles and is the mainstay of our party in the southern region.It has basically achieved comprehensive mechanization and artilleryization, and is mainly responsible for the defense of the entire southern base area and combat against Japan.

The 4th Army was formed on the basis of the original New Fourth Army, which integrated the guerrillas active in the southern provinces and combined with the 2nd Urban Combat Division. It was mainly equipped with urban combat equipment, with strong melee capabilities, and equipped with a large number of medium-caliber artillery. ,

Its attack capability will fully surpass the Japanese aggressors in front of it. The combat area is mainly the Hushanling area from the north of the Huaihe River to the south of the Yellow River.Mainly responsible for our second phase of combat missions against Japan.

The 18th Group Army was reorganized from most of the original Eighth Route Army and integrated with the 1st Urban Combat Division. It was mainly responsible for the defense of our party in the northwest and Mongolia, and the battle against Japan, as well as border defense in the northwest.

In order to adapt to the operational requirements of the large-scale grassland and desert terrain, the 18th Army will mainly be equipped with our newly finalized medium-sized main battle tanks and wheeled armored vehicles.Our military personnel are still designing support firepower such as self-propelled artillery suitable for use in grassland areas.Will equip troops in the near future.

The last 38th Group Army is our party's current ace force, mainly equipped with heavy armored vehicles and the world's most advanced 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, supplemented by a large number of self-propelled artillery and other supporting firepower.

This unit is the main combat unit that our party is going to put into the battle against Japan in the Pingjin area and the Northeast region. It has the most powerful combat effectiveness in the whole world, and it also has the largest army aviation unit. It will be the strongest in our fight against Japan. one strike.

The group army will also set up a special instructor. The main task of the division is to train qualified middle and low-level commanders for the entire army.Learn the most advanced military concepts.Lay the foundation for the establishment of other armies. "

After saying this, Zhou Xiangyu stopped and signaled to the comrades in charge of the projection to start playing the prepared courseware.

"What you are seeing now is our tentatively finalized semi-automatic rifle, which will start all-round testing in the near future. If the test results are satisfactory, our troops will be fully equipped with this type of rifle.

The next thing you can see is our newly developed 80mm rocket, which is mainly used for individual soldiers to attack fortifications and armored vehicles, and can use some powerful individual warheads.

This is the 60mm mortar that we are about to equip to the platoon. Our military personnel have added a lot of advanced technology to this gun. Compared with the same caliber mortar of the Japanese invading army, its range has really doubled. , can provide powerful suppressive firepower for our grassroots combat troops.

This is the 82mm mortar we are developing, and it will serve as the accompanying firepower of our company's first-level combat troops.It has the advantages of light weight and fast launching speed.

Then the next item is the 105mm howitzer we are developing. The performance of this gun will be better than the same caliber artillery of the current powers. His appearance indicates that our People's Liberation Army has officially entered the ranks of advanced troops.

Finally, this is our newly designed medium-sized main battle tank. This type of tank completely crushes our main attack target, various types of armored vehicles equipped by the Japanese invading army, in terms of attack capability, driving capability and defense capability.

Moreover, compared with the possible potential opponents around us, our armored vehicles also have a relatively large advantage at this stage. "

Speaking of this, there were some discussions buzzing from the audience.This is because some comrades have already guessed who the potential opponents their Vice Chairman Zhou refers to.This change was a shock to those comrades who were not in Yan'an.This is a tendency unimaginable a year ago.

However, Zhou Xiangyu's expression was normal up there, nothing unusual at all, this reaction was actually prepared in his heart, he took a sip from his teacup, and then continued to talk.

"Okay, comrades, after talking about our current troop establishment, let's talk about what you like to hear.

In addition to the above four group armies, the central government has decided to establish four new group armies before the end of this year, namely the 4nd, 2th, 12th, and 24th group armies. They will cooperate with the existing four group armies in their respective combat areas. Do combat missions.

Among them, the 2nd and 12th Group Armies will mainly target the teams that focus on amphibious and mountain operations in the water and hilly areas of the south of the Yangtze River, while the 24th Group Army will be the only group army with cavalry units under our army, and the 39th Group Army will The group army will be equipped with the armored vehicles we introduced above, and cooperate with the 38th group army to deal the final blow to the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast in the second phase of the combat mission formulated by the central government.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the above plans, the central government has already started the preliminary preparations for the recruitment work, and the corresponding equipment has also begun to be allocated and transferred.Most of the comrades participating in this meeting will also receive relevant decisions on how to cooperate with the second and third stages of our party's war against Japan before leaving Yan'an and returning to various jobs.You are welcome to express your views at a later discussion session. "

Having said that, Zhou Xiangyu put down the manuscript in his hand, and paused for a while, and the audience applauded. All comrades in the party were eager to fight against Japan. "

"Comrades, I have only said one-fifth of what I have said now. Please be quiet first, and everyone will discuss after I finish speaking. There will be more content to make everyone happy later."

Seeing the excitement in the audience, Zhou Xiangyu waved his hand to the audience to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then began to read the manuscript again.

"After talking about the army, let's move on to our second branch, which is the navy.

Our naval forces are mainly based on the aircraft carrier battle groups brought back by our overseas comrades and the ships of the Japanese Third Fleet captured in the Puhai area.

Among them are two large aircraft carriers. This is what they look like. I am afraid that most comrades have not seen it yet. "

As he said that, Zhou Xiangyu signaled, and the comrades controlling the projector adjusted the screen to a video, in which an iron-gray all-steel plane with the appearance of a flying shark suddenly took off from a huge ship, gradually pulling Gao, and then revealed the majestic appearance of that aircraft carrier.
