    What this small battle brought the Japanese army was not just as simple as improving morale.

    This battle was like a heavy hammer, waking up all the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had fallen into a state of ecstasy due to the previous big victories.  Indeed, the huge victory of regaining the entire Shanxi, Suiyuan, half of Chahar, and annihilating hundreds of thousands of enemies made all the bosses in Yan'an, the commanders of the divisions, and ordinary officers and soldiers mistakenly believe that the  These 300,000 Eighth Route Army troops equipped with advanced weapons and a large number of technical weapons can drive the Japanese army out of China and end this war.  Now this battle has made everyone soberly aware that the current strength of the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than a mirror image. At the same time, they also found that the strength of the Japanese army has not decreased at all.  Thousands of Chinese troops, occupying most of the country, and a powerful army that has been rampant on the land of Kyushu for 5 years!

    Therefore, even if the central government decides to stop the attack, while digesting and consolidating the results of the war, it will continue to adhere to the phalanx of low-key development, accumulating food widely, and slowly becoming king, and fully develop industries, carry out infrastructure construction, invigorate the economy, and accumulate strength.  After that, it launched a fatal blow to the Japanese army.

    Therefore, North China and even the entire Chinese dispatched army also got a chance to breathe. Although the Eighth Route Army will become stronger and stronger as time goes by, at least now they still have the opportunity to continue to increase their troops and strive for a comeback  no?

    On the fifth day after the end of the Luliang Battle, in the largest cave dwelling in Yangjiawan, Yan'an, the chairman, boss, and prime minister presided over the first enlarged meeting of the entire army since the War of Resistance.

    In the slightly dim cave dwelling, the stars and generals are like clouds. Not only the commanders, political commissars, commanders of military divisions, and brigade commanders from Shanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shanxi-Sui, Taiyue, and Taihang bases all arrived  All together, the commanders of the fifteen field divisions are also present. Looking around, any unremarkable rough old man may be a famous general with great achievements.  That feeling is really dazzling!

    In addition, all the bases in the eastern part of North China, the Shandong Military Region, and all division-level generals of the New Fourth Army participated in the meeting through high-power communicators. It is the first time since the Long March that the battle is so large and the personnel are so well organized.

    After the meeting started, the chairman first led the crowd to hold a three-minute silence for the people who were massacred by the Japanese army in the Battle of Luliang. Although the Japanese army committed numerous crimes against the Chinese people in the past five years, the massacre of more than 10,000 people  There have been more than a hundred times, but this time is different, because this is a tragedy that happened after the Eighth Route Army became stronger and capable of protecting the people.  The alarm bell was set off, telling them to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

    Afterwards, Ye Shuai, the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, summarized these battles.

    After the 2-hour experience was over, the boss got up and announced a major order to everyone¡ªarmy expansion!  On the basis of existing mistakes, another 30 new field divisions will be created.  For the convenience of command, these newly formed divisions will be combined with the previous troops to form 21 armies, including 8 armies in the Northwest, 3 armies in Henan and Hebei, 5 armies in Shandong, and 5 armies in the New Fourth Army.  These armies are composed of three divisions, one brigade and one regiment, that is, three infantry divisions plus one artillery brigade plus one tank and armor regiment.

    In addition, in view of the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the First Armored Brigade in the Battle of Baotou.  The central government decided to form four new armored brigades, temporarily divided into three in the northwest and one in Shandong.  However, in this way, there is a huge gap in personnel, although in the past six months, the Armored Forces Academy opened in Yan'an, Linyi, and Yancheng has trained a large number of qualified armored soldiers.  But three new armored brigades were formed in one go, and these people are still not enough.  Therefore, the Central Committee decided to cancel the tank and armor formations of each division and regiment, and only retain a divisional armored battalion with 47 tanks and armored vehicles in each division.  All vehicle personnel were assigned to the newly formed armored brigade.

    In fact, this is not entirely to gather enough armored troops. A series of previous battles have also proved that the current traffic conditions in China and the logistics capabilities of the Eighth Route Army are unable to guarantee the normal use of such tanks and armored vehicles.  , Oil alone is a big problem.  In the Battle of Datong, the fuel consumed by the convoys delivering fuel to the armored troops of a division was enough for an armored brigade to rush from Datong to Beijing.

    That's right, with the Yanchang and Changqing oil fields, the Eighth Route Army is indeed no longer short of oil, but it is not such a prodigal. As the saying goes, good steel is used wisely, and diligence and thrift are king.

    The reason why the central government has created 30 new divisions in one go, doubling the number of main forces.  Thanks to Li HuiThe dean of education successively assisted Lin, Liu and Luo, who served as the principals, to organize the teaching staff work.  In 1939, he went to the Soviet Union to study at the Frunze Military Academy. He was the first senior general in our army to master the advanced Soviet military concepts.  After graduating in 1942, he was awarded the rank of major by the Soviet Union and participated in the Great Patriotic War. When the first batch of Soviet Chinese returned home, he was following the army in a bloody battle with the enemy in Stalingrad. Because of the German blockade, he couldn¡¯t escape for a while.  So I waited until January 1943, when the war situation stabilized before returning to China.

    The appointment of him as the commander of the air force was not entirely due to Li Hui's recommendation, but more importantly, he had contributed to the construction of the air force when he served in the Soviet army.  He was the only senior general in our army who could serve as the commander of the Air Force at that time.

    In addition to the appointment of commanders, the Air Force has also expanded in size, from the original one division to two divisions, and the organizational system has also changed to a three-three system, that is, each division has three  There are 3 flying regiments, each of which has 3 flying brigades, and 3 flying squadrons under the brigade.  As the most basic combat unit, a flight squadron usually consists of 3 large aircraft (bombers or transport aircraft) or 4 fighters or attack aircraft.  In other words, each flying regiment has 27 to 30 combat aircraft, and the number of combat aircraft in each division is around 90.

    In addition to the flight brigade, each flight regiment also has a maintenance brigade, which is responsible for the inspection and maintenance of the aircraft.  In addition to a station brigade, each airport directly under the Air Force also has a radar squadron and a guard battalion.

    Originally, the Central Committee, which had tasted the sweetness of air force superiority in the Shanxi and Datong battles, wanted to expand the two pilot divisions at one go, but it also encountered the same problem as the armored force-not enough pilots.

    This pilot was originally equipped with armor in the Air Force.  This is even more so when equipped with jet aircraft such as the J-5 and Qiang-5.  Each course must meet the standard.  Every step cannot be omitted.  Flying often must also be enough.  Even if there is a simulated warehouse.  The actual flying time must reach more than 200 hours before going to the battlefield.  Failure to do so may result in the death of the opportunity man.

    After more than half a year of training.  Schools in all walks of life have trained some qualified pilots.  But more than half of these people will stay in the aviation school and continue to be teachers.  Therefore, it is not enough to form two pilots.  But it doesn't matter, for the J-5 and Qiang-5 with a combat radius of about 1,000 kilometers, there are more than 150 aircraft, which is enough to cope with the current situation in the Chinese battlefield.

    Next is the navy, but because the navy has always been under the management of the Shandong Military Region, or more precisely, the Jiaodong Military Region, the central government did not dare to make random arrangements without knowing the specific situation, and only allowed Monk Xu to concurrently serve as the commander of the navy.  Commander, appointed Zhang Beihai as the deputy commander, and that was the end of the matter.

    It is worth mentioning that although Li Hui was not promoted at this time, he gained two titles¡ªNavy Adviser and Air Force Adviser.  The term "consultant" was heard by the boss from Li Hui by accident.  After you understand your consciousness, you will keep it in your heart.  This time it happened to be used by this kid.  The intention of letting Li Hui take up this position is also very obvious. He wants him to buy equipment for the Navy and Air Force, and at the same time offer some suggestions and opinions on the construction and development of these two military branches. After all, in the entire Eighth Route Army, this  The kid is most familiar with these two military branches.  It can also be regarded as making the best use of everything.

    Li Hui is also worthy of these three titles on his head.  I didn't participate in the meeting and went back to the later life to buy equipment!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
