Subsequently, a series of appointments were made in Zhou Weiguo's mouth. The specific appointments of the group army commander are as follows:
First Group Army: Commander: Fang Shengli [rank of first-class general]
Second Group Army: Commander: Sun Xinpu [rank of first-class general]
Third Group Army: Commander: Zhang Zongling [Second Class General Rank]
The Fourth Group Army: Commander: Sun Fumin [Second Class General Rank]
Fifth Group Army: Commander: Chu Yunfei [Second Class General Rank]
The Sixth Group Army: Commander: Long Wenwen [Second Class General Rank]
The Seventh Group Army: Commander: Chang Debiao [Second Class General Rank]
Eighth Group Army: Commander: Dai Anlan [Second Class General Rank]
The Ninth Group Army: Commander: Zhou Tianyi [Second Class General Rank]
The Tenth Group Army: Commander: Zhang Xingchen [lieutenant general plus general title]
11th Group Army: Commander: Zhang Yichun [lieutenant general plus general title]
Twelfth Group Army: Commander: Wei Yunsong [lieutenant general plus general title]
Thirteenth Group Army: Commander: Zhang Bin [lieutenant general plus general title]
The Fourteenth Group Army: Commander: Xiao Ran [lieutenant general plus general title]
Fifteenth Group Army: Commander: Wu Deliu [lieutenant general plus general title]
16th Group Army: Commander: Zhu Xiaochun [lieutenant general plus general title]
Seventeenth Group Army: Commander: Wang Bige [lieutenant general plus general title]
18th Group Army: Commander: Li Yunlong [not yet in the rank of lieutenant general]
19th Group Army: Commander: Gu Zhutong [Second Class General Rank]
20th Group Army: Commander: Yang Sen [Second Class General Rank]
Among them, the reason why Gu Zhutong and Yang Sen still retain the rank of second-level general is because they both spent their lives on the anti-Japanese battlefield to gain their military ranks.
Zhou Weiguo would not deprive them of military ranks that they had earned for their loyalty to the country, because it was not just their military ranks that were deprived of them, but their contribution to the country, which was proof of the bloody battles of their brothers below them.
The units under the jurisdiction of each group army are as follows:
The First Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 132nd Division, the 13th Infantry Division, the 14th Infantry Division, and the 15th Infantry Division.
The Second Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has 133 divisions, including 16th Infantry Division, 17th Infantry Division and 18th Infantry Division.
The Third Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 134th Division, including the 19th Infantry Division, the 20th Infantry Division, and the 21st Infantry Division.
The Fourth Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 135th Division, the 22nd Infantry Division, the 23rd Infantry Division, and the 24th Infantry Division.
The Fifth Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 136th Division, the 25th Infantry Division, the 26th Infantry Division, and the 27th Infantry Division.
The Sixth Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 4th Infantry Division, the 28th Infantry Division, the 29th Infantry Division, and the 30th Infantry Division.
The Seventh Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the 3rd Infantry Division, the 31st Infantry Division, the 32nd Infantry Division, and the 33rd Infantry Division.
The Eighth Group Army is under the jurisdiction of:
It has jurisdiction over the Seventh Infantry Division, the Thirty-fourth Infantry Division, the Thirty-fifth Infantry Division, and the Thirty-sixth Infantry Division.
Actually, to put it bluntly, there are a total of twenty group armies, and each group army must have an elite infantry division.
Among them, from the 1st Infantry Division to the 12th Infantry Division, these 12 infantry divisions, plus the 132nd, 133rd, 134th, 135th, 136th, and 152nd infantry divisions, are 18 infantry divisions.
In addition, Meng Yandong and Wen Hanlin, their 13th Infantry Division and 14th Infantry Division, were deployed to build the framework of the 19th Group Army and the 20th Group Army.
The expansion meeting is over. Except for Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng, Yang Jie, Jiang Baili, He Yuchen, and Yang Sen, Zhou Weiguo has let everyone go.
"Come! Sit down, everyone! Now that the expansion meeting is over, I have something else to talk to you about!"
Zhou Weiguo asked a few people to sit down. Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng both looked at Zhou Weiguo with puzzled eyes.
"Haha! I know what else you want to ask me. Do you want to know why the troops in the fifth theater were not reorganized before, right?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, indeed! There were more than 300,000 troops left in the fifth theater before.
These troops are mainly composed of people from Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan. But for these people, Zhou Weiguo is of great use.
"Leader, I was still confused before, but after hearing what you said, I think you may have already had an idea in your mind! "
Yang Jie looked at Zhou Weiguo and smiled and said. Previously, he was still wondering why Zhou Weiguo didn't reorganize the troops in the fifth theater, but now when he said this, he knew that he had something in mind!
"nice!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded and continued: "I do have an idea. Now our army has three branches: land, sea and air. These are also three major branches.
But in fact, in future operations, we will need far more arms than these three arms.
For example, the Marine Corps from the sea to the land, the airborne troops from the sky, etc.
In future wars, these services will be needed. And these services have certain particularities. For example, the Marine Corps, although it is an army within the navy, requires soldiers in the Marine Corps to be able to swim.
It is said that not many men in the north know water skills, but in the south there are many water systems, so there are more people who know water skills than in the north.
So I¡¯m going to form the Marine Corps and the Airborne Corps next. However, the airborne troops are still an experimental branch at present. They do not need many soldiers for the time being. Thirty thousand soldiers are enough.
Some time ago, there were 340,000 soldiers in the fifth war zone. Excluding the 30,000 airborne troops, I will prepare to convert all the remaining 310,000 into Marine Corps.
But I am still in the process of conceiving it, and it will take some time to implement it! "
Zhou Weiguo¡¯s words made Yang Jie nod, although he might not have been clear about blitz tactics before. But he still knew a lot about the Marine Corps.
Now that Nanjing has one battleship and three aircraft carriers, it is time to start forming a Marine Corps. It's just that Zhou Weiguo had to spend 310,000 people to form the Marine Corps from the beginning, and there were 310,000 veterans, which made him feel that the number was a bit too much.
??In fact, in Zhou Weiguo's view, if he wants to join World War II in the future, the number of Marines will not be large.
Three hundred and one thousand people, scattered in the vast Pacific Ocean, is not much at all.
"I understand! What should I do next?"
Li Delin nodded. Since Zhou Weiguo had made a decision, he had to obey. Now that he was also the Minister of the Army, he was relieved that Zhou Weiguo had not ignored him as he was worried about.
"The troops in the fifth theater will remain unchanged for the time being. It is already the end of July, and we will start fighting with Shancheng in early September. If everything goes well, there may not be a war, but if it doesn't go well, there will be a big war. , so your fifth theater is not moving for the time being. Wait until the country is unified, and then officially announce the conversion to the Marine Corps!"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head. The time is getting closer and closer, and it seems that there is only one month left. When the troops are reorganizing the group army, a framework can be temporarily set up. The tank division and the heavy artillery division will not be filled in for the time being, and can be filled in later. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
