The reorganization meeting of the New First Army was held relatively low-key, much lower-key than the previous Henan North Defense Conference, and there was no news to the public at all.

Although some journalists were well-informed and surrounded and intercepted spokesperson Liang Dong at a regular press conference, they were all dealt with by him using a method of making a big move.

The personnel replenishment and renovation work of the four main brigades of the New First Army began.

The four main brigades, each brigade has limited 8,000 troops, and it is strictly forbidden to expand the troops privately. The new 36th Brigade is stationed in Jiaozuo and the new 37th Brigade is stationed in Xinxiang. The 201st Division, formed with these two brigades as the main force, is stationed in Jiaozuo.

The 39th Brigade of the New 39th Brigade was stationed in Puyang, the 40th Brigade was stationed in Anyang, and the 202nd Division, formed with these two divisions as the main force, the division headquarters was stationed in Anyang, Wu Xinhua served as the deputy division commander and acting division commander, and the new Major General Yu Wancheng (Navy) served as the chief of staff. Liang Dong was transferred to the senior staff officer of the Office of the North Henan Administration and also served as the mayor of Xinxiang City.

The only cavalry brigade (two regiments) was stationed in Tangyin, and the former commander of the cavalry brigade Hu Bagui was appointed commander of the cavalry brigade.

If the current organization is based on **, the four main brigades are actually considered the size of the division. If Leng Feng is a little looser, these four brigades will be four reorganized A-type divisions.

It is equivalent to four reorganized armored divisions, plus a powerful assault brigade and an elite cavalry brigade, with a combat force of nearly 50,000.

If the supplementary brigade and auxiliary personnel are included, the scale of the New Army will definitely exceed one legion and rank first among the main legions.

Armored one hundred thousand!

Good guy, Du Guangting couldn't help but touch his forehead to see if he had any sweat.

The overall strength of the New First Army is so strong, it is definitely better than the original teaching corps. That is even better.

Leng Feng is definitely an ambitious person. As long as such a person fails to make mistakes, he will at least become a giant in the future, and may even be further away.

The old man is now starting to worry that the Leng Feng tail is too big and it is difficult to control it?

Leng Feng did not blindly expand his army. Blindly expanding his army will not only reduce his combat effectiveness, but also bring serious burdens to the logistics.

According to Leng Feng's design, the four main brigades will undertake the training tasks of four security brigades. While training themselves, they will also train four security brigades at the same time.

The supplementary brigade was recruited separately. All of this brigade were recruits, not veterans. This is a unit that Leng Feng planned to build as a seed.

Leng Feng will supplement the training of the Yaksha Special Operations Brigade (Yaksha Battalion officially becomes a special force of the New First Army with experimental nature).

The troops directly under the New First Army also have an air defense battalion, a transport vehicle regiment, a boat bridge regiment, a water transport brigade, a chemical defense battalion, and a direct engineering regiment.

After careful calculation, if these troops of the New First Army are fully in place, the entire organization will exceed 50,000.

There are 50,000 people, and there are not so many troops in the small group of troops. Moreover, the local security brigade, supplementary brigade and auxiliary personnel in northern Henan that are to be reorganized and subject to the command of the New First Army will exceed 100,000.

One hundred thousand people, which local troops in China now have more than one hundred thousand people?

Although the northern part of Henan is rich, it is obviously not enough to support an elite army of 100,000 people. Leng Feng really wants to work hard to streamline the troops, but he found that no matter how much he reduces it, he can't reduce it.

In the end, there was no way, so he drew a rigid indicator that one hundred thousand people could bear the limit.

Raising soldiers is very expensive, and Leng Feng has high requirements, which is also to ensure the training of soldiers and maximize their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the New First Army spent on every soldier, in terms of food standards, which exceeded the average Central Army, so I won’t talk about other aspects.

The logistics department made a rough calculation. If you want to give each soldier two sets of summer uniforms and two pairs of canvas sneakers, it would be nearly 200,000 oceans.

This money must be paid and cannot be saved.

The clothes were solved, what they had eaten, what they drank, the soldiers' military pay, the loss of ammunition for training, etc.

Although Chiang Kai-shek would allocate part of it, this part can only keep the troops from starving to death. If they want to reach the level of cold front, their investment must be increased at least three times.

Where does money come from, where does food come from, where does weapons come from, and where does ammunition come from...

We have a grain-producing place in northern Henan, and the food problem is easy to solve. As long as we have money, we don’t have to worry about not being able to buy food. We have weapons, and we can clean up our own assets and find some more to make up. At least we can get a handful of ammunition from the Japanese.

It's barely enough, if you don't fight a big battle like Taierzhuang.

There is still a batch of ammunition ordered from Yan Laoxier who has not been delivered, but this is a payment. If you don’t have money, you can use something else to pay for it.

The question is just one word: money!

Where did the money come from? Even if Leng Feng occupied Xinxiang, he would have raided the Japanese bank and killed many traitors and confiscated many property.

But this can only last for a while.

The money spent like flowing water. After only half a month in northern Henan, the ocean and fiat currency spent millions to build military camps, distribute military pay, make military uniforms, purchase military rations, etc.

Logistics Minister Shen Zhiming has already complained to Leng Feng. If he continues like this, it will not take long before he, the logistics minister, will become the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

The money is not lacking, but it is not in hand. Some of it is used to resettle refugees who escaped from Nanjing. This is the big head. Leng Feng brought out the property from Nanjing. The Japanese army plundered the people of Nanjing. This money should be used on the people. This money cannot be moved randomly.

Also, the start-up capital of the Vanguard Company is related to everyone's future and should not be easily moved. Moreover, the money has been transferred to the Vanguard Company's account.

Leng Feng kept the remaining money for emergency use, after all, the New Army is still a **. Since it is a **, the National Government has to take care of it.

Chiang Kai-shek agreed to the military pay, but he always had to delay the payment. The government had no money, otherwise the minister of finance would not have to beg for alms everywhere.

The Soviet Union has provided a batch of weapons and ammunition, with a lot of things. Leng Feng is not interested in the light weapons aided by the Soviet Union, but he is really not interested in the heavy weapons at all.

If the Soviet Union gave him some planes, it would be fine, but I was afraid that Mr. Jiang would not want to.

If you don’t have enough money to spend, what to do? You have to think of ways. You can’t wait until your pockets are empty before you find a solution. It was too late at that time.

We cannot increase the burden on the people. We must cancel the levy and miscellaneous taxes and increase public investment. Where does this money come from?

Encourage the development of industry and commerce, increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Only when industry and commerce develop can taxes improve, and only when money flows can it become alive.

Run an industry, run a factory, and build roads!

According to the prior agreement, the heavy weapons such as chariots and heavy artillery left by the Japanese army were all returned to the New First Army.

Although I am picking up Yang Luoer, there are still many good things.

On this basis, Leng Feng decided to form another fist unit of the New First Army: the field heavy artillery brigade.

Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, code name: Flamingo.

The field heavy artillery brigade has four regiments, the first regiment commander: Yan Shunkai, mainly equipped with heavy howitzers with a caliber of 150 mm, and the models of the Daesho 4-year-old 150 caliber howitzers with twenty-four pcs were seized. The logistics staff and a large number of parts were disassembled, reserved, and replaced.

The commander of the Second Regiment: Qin Huaiyi, mainly equipped with Type 96 150mm howitzer, is the latest howitzer of the Japanese army. Its range is farther than that of the 4-year-old Taisho and has higher accuracy. However, there are only twelve Japanese field heavy artillery brigades, and only then did they collect this number. Add to the twelve 4-year-old Taisho, 24 were collected.

The commander of the Third Regiment: Zhang Yingqi, the commander of the Fourth Regiment: Peng Yuexiang, the twelve gates equipped by the Third Regiment are 38-year 120mm field howitzer, and the twelve 92 field 105mm cannons of the Fourth Regiment. (The original 17th Independent Artillery Regiment was incorporated into the New First Army Field Heavy Artillery Brigade)

The Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment were preparing to equip another Russian artillery, which was already on the way.

After thinking about it, Leng Feng, the brigade commander of the Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, decided to make adjustments and transfer the old regiment commander from the New 37th Brigade to serve as the brigade commander of the Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. The old regiment commander studied artillery major in France, so this cannot be wasted. The deputy brigade commander was Xie Zaoshi, the former commander of the Field Heavy Artillery Corps.

The brigade commander of the new 37th Brigade is Cheng Yiding, the newly appointed deputy commander of the 201st Division.

At the same time, the field heavy artillery brigade was also brought back to northern Henan for rest and recuperation.

In addition, after accepting the personnel and weapons of the 8th Army and with the support of the New First Army, Luo Yufeng also formed a chariot squad, as well as field artillery, mountain artillery and howitzer battalions within the 8th Army.

After halving the organization and equipment, I reported it to the top. Good guy, Chiang Kai-shek and the big men of the Military Commission were all green. How could there be so many artillery?

Wherever they did it, they all said that they won the battle, but why did other troops get some rifles, machine guns, etc., and the most amazing ones are just a few mortars, mountain cannons, etc.

The New First Army and the 8th Army newspapers are all heavy howitzers, tanks and armored vehicles?

The total number of new army troops is only 30,000 to 40,000. Even if all logistics support personnel are included, it is only about 60,000, accounting for about one-thirty of the country's total current troop force. However, the number of artillery, especially the number of heavy artillery, is almost half of the country! (There are real numbers. Before and after the War of Resistance Against Japan, a total of 44 heavy howitzers from Rhine Company were purchased from Germany, with eight of them damaged in the Battle of Shanghai. There are still 36 left. Two regiments are organized, one is the 10th Armor and the other is the 14th Armor. The 14th Armor Regiment has not yet formed combat effectiveness and is still training in the rear. The main participants in the battle of war are the 10th Armor Regiment, and the 10th Armor Regiment is the Tang Army who is part of the Tang Army to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou)

In addition to the field heavy artillery brigade, each division also directly formed artillery regiments, mainly equipped with field artillery and mountain artillery.

Of course, most of them are just a shelf now, and the personnel and equipment are not in place yet.

If Leng Feng continues to do the reorganization plan, it will be really difficult to streamline the soldiers. If he does this, the two divisions of the New Army will go straight to 20,000 yuan.

If it is followed by the reorganization plan, it will be almost comparable to the two main field divisions of the Japanese army.

Due to manpower, financial resources, weapons and equipment, there is no place at all. Some of the envisioned troops can only be reduced. If they plan to form a regiment, they can only be one battalion, and one battalion will be formed first. If there is a shortage of talents, they will be mixed.

Also, the organization of the original troops is optimized under the principle of not reducing the combat effectiveness of the troops without increasing the troops.

Leng Feng convened the staff to provide a detailed reorganization guidance plan, which stipulates the number of squads, platoons, companies, weapons, firepower configuration, etc.

It was then sent to the entire army, and the personnel were adjusted on a large scale and slightly.

After this reorganization, the organizational structure of the New First Army was basically formed, and it was added and adjusted in a small range in the future, and there was no major change overall.
Chapter completed!
