Chapter 455: Three Divisions and Two Brigades

According to someone's plan, the 88th Army will be adjusted according to a brand new organization, with three infantry divisions, two independent brigades, as well as some direct troops such as the aviation team, logistics department, etc., and the total number of the entire army will reach 60,000.

In addition to the assistance of weapons and equipment, the Americans also agreed to provide a large number of trucks, which contributed almost two-thirds of India's logistics. In addition, tens of thousands of laborers in northern Myanmar have not made it increasingly difficult.

Severe transportation line crash.

Liao Mingyu also redeemed a lot of heavy equipment and ammunition in the system again, ten-wheel heavy trucks, "Greyhound" armored vehicles, and Sherman tanks were transported from India to Myanmar in batches.

First of all, the main force is still mainly composed of the Honorary Third Division, composed of the Sixth Regiment, including three infantry regiments, the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the 1st Engineer Regiment, the 1st Truck Transport Regiment, plus an armored chariot battalion and some direct troops.

The division commander gave Long Weng, deputy commander and chief of staff Fang Jingyao. He wanted to be ma, but not spicy. Milong served as the leader of the three main groups, with a total of about 15,000 people in the division.

As an indispensable firepower responsibility for division-level units, the Field Artillery Regiment has 12 m114 155mm howitzers of a heavy artillery battalion and 24 105mm howitzers of two support artillery battalions. This kind of firepower can be said to have reached the first-class standard of the Japanese Army.

.At the same time, a baggage battalion was equipped with more than 40 trucks for transportation.

Because the 200th Division has a relatively complex organization and is not stable in combat power, it has to be adapted on a large scale, from the original sixth regiment system of the two brigades to the fifth regiment system of the division directly under the division. In addition to the original troops, some additional regiment soldiers were added, and the total number of the division was one.

About 1,000 people.

The division commander Gao Jiren, deputy division commander Xing Fuquan, and chief of staff Ayi. In addition to the firepower ratio of the troops according to the standards of the third division, a small number of Sherman tanks were added to the original T26 tanks and half-track armored vehicles, as well as a large number of Sherman tanks, as well as a large number of

Trucks and military jeep, the entire division mainly focuses on fast maneuvering and heavy firepower, and is composed of two mechanized infantry regiments, the 600th Light Infantry regiment, the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Truck Transport Regiment.

The new 50th Division joined some soldiers from the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army, bringing the total number to about 11,000. The division commander Gao Xijiang, and the deputy division commander was tentatively appointed. The fifth regiment was organized, with three light infantry regiments, 501,502,503, and external processing troops.

2nd Regiment, Mountain Artillery Regiment.

Most Sichuan is in mountainous areas except for the Chengdu Plain. Sichuan soldiers have developed a pair of iron feet since childhood. In addition to the excellent guerrilla routines of the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army, the core of the entire division is to take the light and fast route and reduce some heavy firepower configurations.

, increase the support of individual soldiers such as submachine guns and bazooka, ensure the flexibility of the troops, and use mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, tactical interweaving, etc. as the main offensive means.

Their mountain artillery regiment is mainly equipped with 12 Bofos 75mm mountain cannons and 24 Min-33 120mm heavy mortars. Both weapons have moderate weight, large curved angle, and removable transportation.

Level support firepower is very suitable for mountain combat.

According to what someone emphasized, Fan Shaozeng gathered most of the advanced tank and armored vehicles of the entire army and formed an independent armored brigade with high mobility and combat effectiveness.

Brigade Commander Chen Jize, Deputy Brigade Commander Fan Xiangwu, Chief of Staff Hong Mu, the third regiment of the Tank Armored Brigade, has a tank regiment, an armored combat vehicle regiment and a truck transport regiment, with a total of about 7,000 people in the entire brigade.

Among them, the tank regiment is the pure armored mechanization regiment, with the regiment commander Yuan Li. The entire regiment has 16 m4a3e8 Sherman medium tanks, 9 m4a2 short-barrel Sherman, and 12 75mm anti-tank semi-track armored vehicles.

The armored combat vehicle regiment is mainly assault armored vehicles, with Hong Mu serving as the commander, with 24 "Greyhound" armored reconnaissance vehicles, 6 A2 short-body Sherman, and 12 armored personnel carriers.

The Tank Armored Brigade was expanded based on the original third main regiment, and Chen Jize and Hong Mu also had the experience of commanding armored troops in joint combat many times. It would be perfect for them to lead the Tank Brigade. If you wait for training to keep up, this

The troops can definitely become the strongest weapon in the entire army.

With the armored troops in place, how can the military level lack heavy firepower support units?

There were quite a few heavy artillery obtained from the Americans, and a batch of weapons exchanged in the system were integrated into an independent heavy artillery brigade based on the former Third Division Artillery Regiment and the Engineer Regiment.

Brigade Commander Li Liansheng, Deputy Brigade Commander Krupp, the troops are organized into a fourth regiment system, with two artillery regiments and two transportation regiments. The heavy artillery brigade gathers the most heavy firepower in the entire army, with 24 m114 155mm howitzers and 36 m101

Type 105 howitzers, 12 Krupp 105 howitzers, 12 German-made paks     75mm anti-tank warfare guns. 12 Bofos 75mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as more than 900 heavy trucks and thousands of mules and horses, all

The brigade has a total of more than 9,000 people, and the transportation troops alone account for half.

Originally, Nankan Airlines Squadron had six F4U "pirates" fighters and eight P40 tomahawks, and their strength was relatively weak. Fortunately, Stilwell has now agreed to support a batch of land aircraft, 24 P40 fighters, and three B17 airplanes.

Fortress and 15 C47 transport aircraft, and provide all pilots and ground crews, maintenance personnel to strengthen the strength of the Nankan Air Force.

Now three fighter squadrons have been formed here, led by Andrei, Jamie and others, and the air power has been effectively strengthened.

...

After June, there were not many enemy situations in Lashio, and the Japanese who were staying in Mandalay and Taung Chi became very quiet. Both sides seemed to have entered a wonderful balance point, and they were each accumulating strength to wait for the opportunity.

When a thick stack of equipment list was placed in front of Meng Fanle, the guy was so surprised that his chin almost dropped.

"Jun Zun... Why did you blackmail the Americans this time?... No unit in China has ever received such treatment."

Valley to

He was more than one shocked. The weapons and equipment sent to Nankan one after another these days were almost piled up, and there were different surprises every day that stimulated everyone's nerves.

"I'm so tired... don't be poor. I'll show me the transfer plan later. I've been busy recently."

Liao Mingyu took out a bottle of whiskey from somewhere, poured two small cups lightly, tasted it and said to himself, "This group of British people, they take up a lot of alcohol in military rations and supplies.

You really can enjoy life..."

"Hehe, I have something, but not many of our men can use it. Those tanks and cannons are not something that ordinary people can afford."

Meng Fangye walked over very consciously, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The strong and spicy smell and a smoky smell hit him, almost choking him so hard that he didn't spit it out.

"Drink slowly, this thing is no lower than the soju in the north." Liao Mingyu reminded with a smile.

"Ahem... It's really his uncle's fierceness. Milong's grandson probably had this mouthful. Oh... I can't use it to drinking it with my uncle."

Meng was frustrated and smacked his lips. He put down the wine glass with disgust, obviously unable to accept the unique taste of whiskey.

In addition to American weapons, the British army also provided a large amount of military food, such as canned meat, biscuits, chocolate, red wine, and whiskey, which was dazzling.

The large number of various items forced the Nankan Army to build several large warehouses to store these supplies. Especially the 50th Sichuan Army Division who had just come to Myanmar had never seen such a scene.

After pulling the big pill, they saw that these foreign guns and cannons were all shining.

Especially when the brand new Garland and M3 submachine guns were sent to their hands, they could eat three meals a day and had meat every meal, everyone was moved and they were so excited that they were really fucking to the right place.

"If you can't use it, you have to learn. There is not much time left for us. We must speed up the progress, especially the drivers and artillery." Liao Mingyu put down his wine glass and preached worriedly.

"clear."

The reorganization of the troops is not just about talking. A large number of combat personnel and equipment and materials are inevitable. The appointment of officers is also very troublesome. Except for the few regiments left on the front line to defend, other troops are all adjusting and changing clothes in a intensive manner.

After returning to Nankan, Liao Mingyu was basically not idle, and even pulled Meng Fanlei and a few staff officers, staying in the command office every day to deal with these tedious things.

In addition to reorganization, the training of soldiers is also the top priority. The entire army has added many mechanized equipment and heavy artillery. If you want to fully exert the power of these weapons, you must improve the basic quality of soldiers. A large amount of training is essential.

Fortunately, the Americans provided hundreds of weapons consultants, and during this period they will provide comprehensive teaching and explanation and training for soldiers from various units. The logistics department is also training more drivers and artillery units in various units are also conducting artillery.

With strict training, there is enough ammunition and vehicles now, as long as you are willing to spend time, there will be no task that cannot be completed.

In order to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of this kung fu, several infantry regiments on the front line took on a posture of preparing for a large-scale attack every day, and the artillery soldiers occasionally shot several cannons in the direction of Taungchi.

Three aviation squadrons in Nankan flew to Mandalay in shifts for reconnaissance. They were in a good mood and would tease the Japanese below with low air conditioning, making the other party nervous.

Although he was a little bluffed, the Japanese who were afraid of being beaten did not dare to be careless at all. They built fortifications every day fortifications, for fear that a Chinese man would come over.

Fengwen had been very angry at the foot of Mandalay. Now, Shusanli has gathered nearly 80,000 troops, and the replenishment from the rear has gradually arrived. If the temple had not repeatedly emphasized that it was not allowed to take the initiative to attack, he would have been

He took someone to beat him.

However, after carefully studying the Chinese combat routines, Yamashita Fengwen came to some conclusions that he had already fallen into a disadvantage in firepower, especially in the Air Force, he was beaten up in various ways. In this case, he was still beaten up in various ways.

It is strange that you don’t lose when playing positional battles with the other party.

After all, the best defense is attack. Only by getting closer to the enemy and fighting sports wars in the jungle, so that the opponent's proud firepower and air power will be weakened to the maximum extent, and you will have the chance to win.
