Chapter 1022 National Defense Forces Reform Plan
On July 8, 2012, the Ministry of National Defense, located in Tieshizi Hutong, Dongcheng, Beijing, was busy. Most of the eight branches of the Ministry of National Defense had moved to the new Ministry of National Defense Building in Fengtai District. Fengtai Camp also had a new common name, called Fengtai Army Camp. The scope of this camp is a bit wide, and nearly half of it is a civilian facility for the family members of the officers. The earliest ones moved were the Ministry of Navy and the Ministry of Aviation. These two departments were relatively few, and they were relatively easy to relocate, and there were few things recently, so they were the first to move in.
The old Ministry of Defense was busy. As the head of the commander selection and evaluation team, Sa Zhenbing reported the preparations to Wang Maoru. Everything was ready, including the rank of the marshal, sword, military emblem, and even the marshal's uniform. However, Wang Maoru said that he would not change the marshal's uniform that day, so as not to give people a feeling of acting. Just wear your usual military uniform and change your rank. Sa Zhenbing suggested that Duan Qirui had been invited to Beijing and was preparing to witness the ceremony of the commander-in-chief's ceremony. It would be better for him to award the medal. Wang Maoru thought for a while and said, "It happened that he was the former Minister of National Defense. No one was suitable for him. He also asked Mr. Sa to invite Duan Gong. Duan Gong would agree to come out to see your face." Sa Zhenbing smiled and said that I would invite him, but the time was a little tight. Wang Maoru said that time was tight and he didn't delay. We didn't need to rehearse the big show.
Ren Yuanxing reported to Wang Maoru that the plan for the restructuring of the National Defense Army Division that he was preparing had a preliminary plan. Wang Maoru was very interested, and Ren Yuanxing said first: "Because I am not familiar with the navy and space, this restructuring is based on the restructuring of the army."
Wang Maoru said: "Yes, our country is a great army country. If the army reform is completed, then the restructuring of our ** team has also been completed."
Ren Yuanxing reported: "The starting point of the restructuring of the Defense Army Army Division is based on the fact that the division system is no longer suitable for modern army combat. The huge division system is very unfavorable to command in combat. Moreover, the division system is too strong and is not conducive to the command of the Ministry of National Defense, and may bring about the emergence of new warlords. Moreover, the emergence of modern weapons such as aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, and higher-scale cannons has made the division firepower and maneuverability in proportion. In this army restructuring, our army will establish a new system of the army based on the squad, platoon, battalion and division structure. At the division level, the army number is the group number, and the number of the group army is still in accordance with the army unit. The brigade level units are abolished. The brigade is only the highest organization of the armed police force. At the same time, the national defense army is divided into the army.
The A Division, the Army Division B and the Special Division, the A Division is composed of the Fifth Regiment, the B Division is composed of the Fourth Regiment, the Special Division is composed of the Cavalry Division, the Armored Division, the Mountain Division, and the Airborne Division. The Special Division is composed of the Fourth Regiment. The preliminary plan is to form a total of 45 Type A Infantry Divisions. 15 Type B Infantry Division, 16 Armored Infantry Division, 6 Cavalry Division, 6 Airborne Division, and 4 Mountain Divisions. At the same time, 3 Marine Divisions and 1 Guard Armored Division are added. The total number of officers and soldiers of the Type A Division is about 10,000, and the total number of officers and soldiers of the Type B Division is about 8,000, and the special division is about 8,000. If the reorganization is smooth, the entire army will be reorganized, and the total number of 8,000 will be 860,000. The total number of road navigation and naval personnel will remain within 40,000. The total number of national defense forces will be reduced to 900,000."
Wang Maoru looked at the plan carefully and asked: "Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. For example, the composition of this A-type division. I looked at it. According to your requirements, there are two motorized infantry regiments, one armored infantry regiment, artillery regiment, and one special regiment. What does this special regiment mean?"
Ren Yuanxing explained: "I believe that in the future army war, the enemy will have air force ground strike capabilities that are not weaker than our army. The special forces regiments have three roles: the first is air defense capability, the second is camouflage capability, and the third is the baggage processing capability. Because the application of large-scale mechanization will inevitably bring extremely demanding baggage requirements. The special forces regiments include the baggage force, so the special forces regiments also act together with the division headquarters."
"I'll be the big nanny together." Wang Maoru laughed.
Ren Yuanxing shook his head and said, "In my opinion, in the future war, the role of the special forces will far exceed that of the other four troops."
Wang Maoru stretched out his thumb and said, "Your judgment is very accurate."
Ren Yuanxing said: "Xiu Shuai was awarded too much. In fact, this plan was not done by myself. General Yong, Commander Jiang and other officers have made speculations about future wars in their annual reports. I am just picking up people and sorting out the report files in half a month."
Wang Maoru said: "In this way, I think this plan is not detailed enough. Army reform is not a trivial matter. If the plan is not detailed, it will be in vain to waste money and energy, especially to have a bad impact on the army."
Ren Yuanxing saluted and said, "Yes Xiushuai, this draft of Beizhi only has less than 5,000 words, and it is just a plan outline. Please correct it."
Wang Maoru asked: "What is the main function of your A-type master? Is it an assault force or a defensive force?"
"As an important assault force of our national defense force, we must act immediately at a command, and can quickly form combat effectiveness after entering the battle. At the same time, because the A division is equipped with a large amount of mechanized equipment, they rely on more supplies and baggage." Ren Yuanxing said, "The B division belongs to the light infantry division. As a supplementary force of the National Defense Force, it can quickly gather for street fighting in certain areas when needed, and other battlefields that are not conducive to the heavy infantry division. For example, in defensive battles, the A heavy infantry division serves as an attack force, while the B light infantry division has more defensive advantages."
Wang Maoru smiled and looked at the plan and said, "But I saw that you have 45 Divisions of Type A and only 15 Divisions of Type B. It seems that you want the National Defense Force to use offense as defense."
Ren Yuanxing said: "I once asked Deputy Commander Jiang for advice on our national defense foundation. Deputy Commander Jiang told me that our country's land area is as high as 14.86 million square kilometers. It is not worth it to carry out defense operations of one city and one pool on such a vast territory. If after the invasion of foreign enemies, we can make full use of the vast territory and force the other party to engage in deep-seated involvement with our army. During the involvement, we do not care about the gains and losses of the city, but use mechanized troops to encircle and annihilate the other party. Commander Jiang's suggestions reminded me that in fact, if each city wants to fight for an inch of land, it looks very tragic and patriotic, but we do this to give up our advantages and force our army to fall into the sea of suffering of adding fuel to the tactics. Moreover, in this way, our defense force needs at least 200 B-type divisions, which will cost extremely high prices and drag down national economic development due to national defense."
Wang Maoru said: "Tell me about the four special forces."
Ren Yuanxing said: "In previous wars, it has been proved that cavalry will gradually lose its function after the emergence of mechanized troops, but for our country, the cavalry division cannot be eliminated because our country's territory is complex and the situation is special. For example, the mountainous areas such as the Pamir Plateau and Kashmir, motorized infantry cannot be driven into it at all, and there is a mountainous area, and there is no road. Therefore, the cavalry troops are retained. As for the Marine Division, it is a force established by the Japanese Marine Division and the US Marine Division.
, They will be directly under the management and command of the Navy Department, and their configuration will be no less than that of the A-type Infantry Division. Seventy percent of our country's territory belongs to the plains, and all heavy industrial bases are in the plains. Protecting the plains of heavy industrial bases should be the top priority. The armored division will be the most powerful force in our country, and its advantage on the plains is incomparable. The armored division is mainly composed of tank troops and armored infantry units. Their only function is to annihilate the enemy. Therefore, having a powerful armored division will be a great shock to the enemy."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Where are the Mountain Division and the Airborne Division? The airborne troops are only a brigade of thousands of people in the road. Why do you think the Airborne Division should be established?"
"The Mountain Division is a unit trained in the southern mountains, forest areas and hills. In addition to the southern part of our country, the Western Regions, especially the Pamir Plateau, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Kashmir and other mountainous areas in Central Asia, all require professional mountain troops to fight. As for the Airborne Division..." Ren Yuanxing said embarrassedly: "The Airborne Division is a vertical strike force. In wartime, it can airborne to the rear of the enemy and cut off the rear of the enemy, thereby surrounding the enemy. During these days, I have seen the training of the Airborne Brigade, and
By talking to Bai Ziqing, the airship captain of the Lun Airlines Aircraft Aircraft Aircraft Aircraft Aircraft, I think that if the future airborne troops can become a real force, even if they only have the military strength of a division, it will be enough to change the direction of a battle. In fact, many ideas are just preliminary ideas and have not yet fully formed a specific concept. All plans are just on paper. Even if the army is formed according to this organization and fully reach my plan, according to the national strength of our country, it will take at least twenty to thirty years."
Wang Maoru nodded and said, "It's OK, so I think there are too many armored divisions. This may be because you have been fighting on the plains for a long time. You think the role of the plains is more important than the southern mountains. Haha, but the burden of the armored division is too heavy. I suggest reducing the number of armored divisions to 12 and increasing the number of mountain divisions to 8. What do you think?"
"Yes, Xiushuai." Ren Yuanxing said.
Wang Maoru said angrily: "That's a big deal. I'm asking you to study, not asking you to obey orders."
Ren Yuanxing immediately said, "I understand."
