#1152 modern army(1/2)
After the new government of China was established on September 1, while the troops were given new uniforms and insignias, the General Staff Headquarters also adjusted the organization of each unit, significantly reduced the command system, and improved the military rank system.
The first is the naval aspect.
As the war situation changes, the role of the navy has become more and more prominent. Currently, the navy accounts for the largest proportion of military expenditures among the three services.
The highest command system of the Navy is the Naval Headquarters, which has jurisdiction over the four major fleets: North Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, and Western Ocean.
The previous five fleets were adjusted to four fleets, and under the four fleets there were dispatch fleets.
The numbers start from ninth, that is, the ninth fleet of the Republic of China Navy to the sixteenth fleet of the navy.
For now, each fleet has a super carrier battle group.
The super aircraft carrier battle group is the core of the fleet's combat power.
In addition to directly commanding the four major fleets, the Naval Command also directs naval special operations, supplies supplies to each fleet, and has its own intelligence analysis department.
The North Sea Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the Ninth and Twelfth Fleets. The core of its combat effectiveness is the Kanto super aircraft carrier battle group and the Yanyun super aircraft carrier battle group.
The headquarters of the North Sea Fleet is located in Tianjin, the permanent headquarters of the 9th Fleet is Qingdao, and the temporary headquarters of the 10th Fleet is Vladivostok.
After the battle against the pirates is over, the 10th Fleet will be directly stationed in Japan.
The North Sea Fleet is mainly responsible for combat missions in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, Sea of Japan, North Pacific and the Arctic Ocean after passing the Bering Strait.
Wrangel Island at the southern end of the Arctic Ocean is also a permanent base of the North Sea Fleet.
The East China Sea Fleet has the Eleventh Fleet, which is composed of the Jiangnan super aircraft carrier battle group.
The headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet is in Shanghai, and the 11th Fleet will be permanently stationed in Taiwan, mainly responsible for combat and defense tasks in the Taiwan Strait, Ryukyu Islands and the Central Pacific.
The South China Sea Fleet has jurisdiction over the 12th and 13th Fleets of the Navy, and its super aircraft carriers are the Baiyue and Lingnan respectively.
The fleet headquarters is located in Guangzhou, the 12th Fleet is based in Haikou, and the 13th Fleet is permanently stationed in Singapore.
The operational scope of the South China Sea Fleet includes the entire Southeast Asia, the South China Sea and the Australian region further south.
The Western Fleet has jurisdiction over the 14th, 15th and 16th Fleets of the Republic of China Navy.
The super aircraft carriers of the three major fleets are named Qingzang, Mengjiang and Zhongyuan respectively.
The headquarters of the Western Fleet is in Rangoon.
Yangon is also the main military base of the 14th Fleet and the Qinghai-Tibet super aircraft carrier battle group.
The 14th Fleet is mainly responsible for combat missions in the Andaman Sea and the North Indian Ocean.
The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Fleets are mission fleets and generally choose to dock in Yangon, Sri Lanka, Maldives and other places for supplies.
The Navy's goal in establishing mission fleets is to conduct long-distance voyages. The combat areas of fleets 15 and 16 include but are not limited to the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea.
More and more Zhongxia companies go abroad and penetrate into various places in Blue Star.
At the same time, there are two large expeditionary fleets in the Pacific and 1 million army troops in Europe.
The goal of the newly formed 15th and 16th fleets is to safeguard the rights and interests of overseas people and companies and provide support for expeditionary fleets and armies.
This is an important symbol for the Chinese Navy to move from offshore operations to ocean operations.
Although the major fleets of the Navy are centered on aircraft carriers, they are also equipped with amphibious assault ships that can take off and land helicopters. Other ships, such as landing ships, attack submarines, cruisers, destroyers, etc., are also constantly being updated.
The most direct manifestation of the development and progress of military science and technology is the updated military equipment.
New types of missiles, torpedoes, fighter planes, etc. have been installed in major fleets of the Navy!
However, the higher the technological content, the higher the cost, and the longer the production and maintenance cycle. New equipment only accounts for about 30% of the fleet.
In terms of military rank, the naval commander is a first-class admiral, commonly known as a four-star admiral;
The commanders of the four fleets are three-star admirals;
The commander of the eight dispatch fleets is Lieutenant General.
As of September 28, in addition to the 14, 15, and 16 fleets belonging to the Western Fleet, which are still patrolling and guarding in the southern seas, the three fleets of the Chinese Navy, the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, and 6 aircraft carriers have arrived in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and Japan.
Combat locations at sea and other places.
The navy has made all preparations and is only waiting for an order from Peking.
..
The organization of the Republic Army has also been adjusted.
The first step was to eliminate the somewhat redundant and bloated army formations and reorganize the 2 million army troops into 15 group armies.
The group army numbers start from the 18th Army and end with the 32nd Army.
Each group army has three corps, nine divisions, and 150,000 people.
The 18th Group Army to the 29th Group Army are the infantry group armies, and the 30th Group Army to the 32nd Group Army are the armored group armies.
Each armored group army has 2,500 tanks, and the three fully-equipped armored armies currently have a total of 7,500 tanks.
The 30th and 31st Armored Group armies are on the Eastern Front battlefield, and the 32nd Armored Group Army will participate in the battle against bandits.
At present, the army's main battle tank is still the Little Flying Leopard, but brand-new heavy tanks are gradually entering the army.
The 18th Group Army, the 19th Group Army, the 20th Group Army, the 21st Group Army, the 22nd Group Army and the 23rd Group Army are located on the Eastern Front battlefield.
The 26th Group Army, the 27th Group Army, the 28th Group Army, and the 29th Group Army were the main forces fighting against the bandits.
The 24th and 25th Army Groups are the general reserves.
Each army group has some army aviation regiments equipped with a large number of helicopters.
In addition to the formal group army, the Army also has a Youth Guards directly under its jurisdiction.
The total strength is less than 2.5 million.
The establishment of the Air Force has also been adjusted.
The largest organization is the Air Force Division, which consists of three flying regiments.
The flight regiment has three flight groups, and each flight group has three flight squadrons.
Propeller fighters have been completely eliminated, and the main fighters equipped by the Air Force are the first-generation jet fighters, namely J-II aircraft!
The second generation J-3 and J-5 have less equipment and only have about one flight group.
At least 5,000 combat aircraft of various types have been deployed in the anti-bandit operations, and they are all ready.
This adjustment has improved the organization of the navy, army and air force, clarified combat tasks, and the army has continued to modernize.
The goal of all adjustments is to be able to fight and win the war!
On September 28, before Jiang Dong went to the Busan frontline headquarters, he had one more thing to do.
That is to meet with the main commanders of the army on the Eastern Front, headed by Wu Zhan.
After the campaign against bandits begins, China's Western Expeditionary Army will also launch some local counterattacks on the eastern battlefield.
Wu Zhan, Zhang Shengqing, Li Zhaoying, Fu Yisheng, Jia Dalin, Qi Guangxiu, Xiao Jiang and others came to Jiangdong's office at the same time.
Their expressions were serious, even serious to the point of being a little reserved.
Jiang Dong waved his hand to several people to sit down, and then said:
"You must have received an order from the General Staff Headquarters. Lao Wu will be the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, with Lao Zhang and Lao Li as deputy commanders.
Lao Fu and Lao Jia directly serve as commanders of the group army, and according to the needs of the war situation, they can appoint any commander-in-chief of the army."
"Xiao Jiang is the commander-in-chief of the Armored Group Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army."
"This arrangement is mainly to streamline the command system and make the delivery of orders faster and more accurate!"
"The Young Guards continue to serve as the vanguard, looking for the enemy's main force for a decisive battle!"
Several people nodded at the same time. These arrangements had been determined by the General Staff Headquarters.
"Winter is coming soon. You don't have to pursue a big victory in this battle before winter, but you must not have any problems!"
Jiang Dong warned:
"You must have sufficient predictions about the cold weather in winter and make preparations in advance."
All the officers just nodded, looking very solemn.
Jiang Dong smiled and asked:
"Everyone is different now. As long as you remember these instructions of mine, I can trust you with my army of millions."
"That's all I have to say, do you have any questions?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally their eyes rested on Zhang Shengqing.
Zhang Shengqing was the first person to follow Jiang Dong, and their relationship was extraordinary.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Dong also turned his attention.
Zhang Shengqing stood up and said with some emotion:
"Commander-in-Chief, the country is now full of vitality and all walks of life are booming!"
"The bloodshed and sacrifice of our soldiers have finally paid off, and we are very satisfied!"
