Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 395 Personnel Transfer

The reorganized Northeastern Advancement Headquarters of the ** Division had eight infantry brigades and one cavalry mixed brigade, with a strength of more than 140,000. Later, according to the actual needs of the combat situation, Tang Qiuli formed three more for the unit.

Artillery brigade, an armored brigade, and an air defense brigade.

In fact, after the reorganization, the positions and ranks of officers at all levels of the Northeast Army have been reduced a lot. Take the original army commander as an example. His rank was reduced from lieutenant general to major general, and the number of soldiers under his jurisdiction has also been reduced.

It is much less than before. The commander of the original Northeast Army did not lead 30,000 to 40,000 troops.

Regarding this situation, Tang Qiuli was originally going to do some comfort and explanation work. Unexpectedly, these senior generals who were demoted from their posts not only had no complaints, but happily took up their posts. In their words, everything was in vain.

, Marshal Tang led us to fight the Japanese. This is true. Why do we care about those rags and rags?

Do you want to be promoted? Take out your true seal on the battlefield and see whose brigade kills more kidnappers. The first one to return to his hometown in the Northeast will be the one who will listen to him and respect him as the boss! He will never go back on his word. The commander-in-chief is here.

Here, be a witness.

Looking at these former army commanders and division commanders, they all had no complaints. None of them complained about being demoted. They were all gearing up to fight the little devils and unleash the evil spirit they had been holding back for six years.

Tang Qiuli felt sincerely gratified. Once these Northeastern men found the direction of their lives, they would devote themselves to the battlefield of killing the enemy with a hundredfold enthusiasm. The black soil of Northeastern was humiliatingly thrown away in their own hands.

On the battlefield, regain the self-esteem and honor of soldiers.

Some of the other officers of the Northeast Army were transferred to various departments of the ** Division, and some were transferred to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Security Command and the Dingbian Mobile Corps Command. The ** Division transferred some officers and former Northeast Army officers to form the Northeast Army.

Advance into various functional departments of the headquarters.

Zhao Yuhe, the former Chief of Staff of the **Division, was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Northeast Advance Command. His original position was held by Yu Guanghan, Deputy Chief of the Staff of the **Division. The commander, Major General Liu Tiehan, was coming from North China to receive the troops.

, the brigade commanders of the Northeast Advance Command are full of expectations for Marshal Tang’s old partner.

Being able to partner with the commander for many years, becoming a life-and-death friend, an old buddy who relies on life and death, there is still some ability, especially as a fellow from the Northeast, his own troops were dragged to Guanli, and when the war with the Red Army started, they were already

Marshal He has fought with the Kwantung Army for many years. It is our blessing that such a person can take notice of us.

Tang Qiuli considered many aspects when he arranged for Liu Tiehan to be the commander. The generals at all levels of the former Northeastern Army were all veteran soldiers for many years. Ordinary people really couldn't control them, and he couldn't personally command this army.

With Liu Tiehan's qualifications and record, he is qualified for this position, although there are still many of his old superiors here.

Before Liu Tiehan's arrival, Tang Qiuli transferred a large number of officers and veterans with practical combat experience from the Dingbian Garrison Area, and went deep into each brigade to conduct strict training on the troops according to the training methods of the ** division.

Dong transferred a large amount of Japanese equipment to re-equip the brigades. At this time, the brigade commanders of the Northeast Advance Command were very happy. The people in Japan were not very good, but the things were not bad.

After the change of equipment, the combat effectiveness of each brigade has been greatly improved. The soldiers held their breath and dreamed of returning to their hometown in Northeast China. From Marshal Tang, they saw the hope they had been looking forward to for many years. The soldiers' training enthusiasm was at an all-time high.

, the old situation of officers rushing to train with whips in hand can no longer be seen.

The soldiers also saw the gap between them and the soldiers who served as instructors from the ** division. They were all soldiers, with a sense of honor and self-esteem. The soldiers consciously increased the amount of training, and their enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high. Officers at all levels

, and also experienced unprecedented changes.

The logistics supply of the army also refers to the standards of the ** Division, and the required funds are all allocated by the Logistics Department of the ** Division. The face of the army is changing day by day. After all, the current Northeast Army is Tang Qiuli himself.

All the troops lacked was actual combat experience with the Japanese army. Spending money on them would not hurt at all.

After Liu Tiehan took office, Tang Qiuli handed over the troops to him and reported to the National Government Military Commission to promote Liu Tiehan to the rank of lieutenant general of the army.

Then, he began to reorganize the Seventeenth Route Army. The Seventeenth Route Army was different from the Northeast Army and had a special situation.

In fact, this is a local Shaanxi army. The soldiers are all Shaanxi nationals and have no experience of fighting outside the province. The soldiers have a strong sense of locality and are inextricably related to the local people. The total strength is only 60,000.

The remaining people are also mixed in quality, old and young.

Tang Qiuli followed the practices of the Northeastern Army and first streamlined the troops. The undesirable elements were cleared out of the troops. The older ones were rehabilitated on the spot. Those who were willing to go to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone were arranged uniformly by the troops. Those who were unwilling to go and wanted to go home were all assigned to the troops.

They were given a settlement allowance of three hundred yuan, which was enough to make them a small wealthy man in their hometown.

The company was cleared and restored, and a total of more than 6,000 people were streamlined. The remaining strong soldiers were organized into the Shaanxi Provincial Security Command, with Yuan Jinghao, the former commander of the 4th Brigade of the ** Division, as the commander. His brigade commander position was held by the deputy brigade commander.

Commander Wang Chengye took over, and Han Guangqi, the former chief of staff of the 17th Route Army, remained as chief of staff of the Shaanxi Provincial Security Command, which had jurisdiction over three Shaanxi local security brigades, with each brigade having 6,200 soldiers.

The commander of the first Shaanxi local security brigade is Wang Yiwu, the former commander of the 49th brigade of the 17th Route Army. The commander of the second Shaanxi local security brigade is Zhao Shoushan, the former commander of the 51st brigade of the 17th Route Army.

The commander of the Third Local Security Brigade is Geng Zhijie, the former commander of the 17th Route Army Supplementary Brigade.

The main task of this department is to maintain social order, local stability, and eliminate bandits in various places in Shaanxi. In fact, it actually serves as the garrison force. In addition, Tang Qiuli gave the Shaanxi local garrison force an important task, responsible for training reserves.

This was Tang Qiuli's original intention to establish the Shaanxi Garrison Command.

The Yellow River Defense Defense Headquarters was established. The commander was Sun Zhenbang, the former commander of the 5th Brigade of the ** Division. His position was taken over by Deputy Brigade Commander Chu Xianzeng. The Chief of Staff of the River Defense Defense Headquarters was led by the former 17th Route Army.

Wang Jun, commander of the 1st Shaanxi Guard Brigade of the Army, serves as

It has four river defense brigades, each with 8,500 soldiers. The commander of the first river defense brigade is Li Zhenfeng, the former commander of the first regiment of the first brigade of the ** Division. The commander of the second river defense brigade is

, served by Zhang Hongyuan, the former commander of the 2nd Shaanxi Guard Brigade of the 17th Route Army.

The commander of the third river defense brigade is Meng Qingpeng, the former commander of the third regiment of the second brigade of the ** Division. The commander of the fourth river defense brigade is Liu Ziqian, the former commander of the third regiment of the Xi'an Appeasement Office. The river defense headquarters has a total of three troops.

More than 16,000 people.

The main task of this department is to defend the area south of Hukou on the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province to Tongguan Port, and from Tongguan Port to Sanmenxia, ​​Henan Province. Here, it forms a cross-defense area with the troops of the Sanmenxia Regional Theater Command of the Central Army.

The river defense defense brigade is stationed at various key points. Troops must be stationed to defend any area where it is possible to cross the river. At each garrison point, Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department of the ** Division, is instructed to quickly communicate with the wired and wireless communication networks of various ministries.

And ensure smooth flow at all times.

Tang Qiuli had to do this. In the future, Shanxi will become the main battlefield in North China. Along the thousands of miles of Yellow River, there are too many places to cross the river. It is difficult to guarantee that the Japanese army will not send troops to forcefully cross the Yellow River and attack Henan and Hubei from Shaanxi.

Wait for the Central Plains region.

The thinking of the Japanese cannot be judged according to the thinking of normal people. They are all a group of lunatics, and lunatics play cards that do not follow common sense.

As for the Yellow River defense line to the west of Hukou, he didn't need to worry about it. It was the territory of the Japanese Red Army. They finally had a place to stay. How could they allow the Japanese to insert a knife? It would be strange not to fight the Japanese desperately.

?Make sure your defense is tighter than you think.

After the formation of the 17th Route Army, targeted training was conducted in accordance with the training method for the units of the Northeast Advance Command. Immediately, the units of the Shaanxi Provincial Security Command headed to the garrison location, and the units of the Yellow River Defense Command immediately stationed at the garrison.

location and build permanent defensive fortifications.

For this reason, Tang Qiuli equipped the river defense troops with a large number of artillery from the Huangyadong Logistics Department warehouse, with a range that could cover ten kilometers on the other side of the Yellow River. He built permanent firepower points and artillery positions at the garrison locations, and the artillerymen of the ** Division

The First Brigade's Zheng Yong Division sent a dedicated person to provide guidance and complete the topography and landform mapping of the east bank of the Yellow River, as well as shooting coordinates and Zhuyuan.

The Transportation Command of the **Division was established, with Zhou Yushan, the former Deputy Director of the Logistics Department and Director of the Logistics Department of the **Division, as the commander. His position was succeeded by Deputy Director Song Wenhai, and the Chief of Staff was appointed by the former Dingbian Special Economic Zone Security Command.

Bai Shibin, director of the logistics department, serves as the director.

The Logistics Department of the Huangyadong Base Area will deploy officers at all levels to form the command organization of the Transportation Headquarters. The Huangyadong Guard Brigade will mobilize the strength of two regiments. The Dingbian Mobile Corps will mobilize the strength of three regiments. The ** Division

A reinforced regiment of the air defense brigade, totaling 13,000 men, forms the strength of the transportation command.

From Dingbian, pass through Suide and Wubao in Shaanxi Province, cross the Yellow River eastward, arrive at Jundu and Liulin Ferry in Shanxi Province, cross the Luliang Mountains, and reach the Huangyadong base area in the Taihang Mountains. Most of the thousands of miles of transportation lines are in Shanxi Province.

, will definitely become a key target of the Japanese army. In the future, there will definitely be large-scale and fierce battles on this transportation line, and they will be repeated battles. The burden on Zhou Yushan's shoulders is not light.

Feng Jiwu, the former chief of staff of the ** Division, was promoted to deputy division commander of the ** Division, taking over the job of former deputy division commander Liu Tiehan. Li Honggang, the former commander of the ** First Brigade of the ** Division, was promoted to chief of staff of the ** Division, taking over the job of former deputy division commander Liu Tiehan.

Following Wu's work, the post of brigade commander was held by former deputy brigade commander Liu Hongzhang.

A series of personnel transfers and arrangements made Tang Qiuli so busy that he complained endlessly. They all said that a big family business is a good thing, but being a family member is tiring. Tang Qiuli is a little overwhelmed now. Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang are two guys.

, it would still take a few days to arrive, so Tang Qiuli had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.

His biggest wish now is to hold Mei Ting in his arms, find a place where no one will disturb him, and sleep well for three days and three nights.
