Time entered mid-September 1942, and after the General Staff Headquarters was established and officially put into work, the organization of the navy, army and air force gradually became clearer.

The regime led by Jiang Dong was actually a militarized regime, with a high degree of military and political independence.

The General Staff Headquarters has been established, and the establishment and designation of the Sixth Corps originally awarded by the Chongqing government will no longer be used.

The General Staff is the highest military organization that manages a series of affairs such as military operations, training, logistics, and equipment.

Under the guidance of the General Staff Headquarters, the organization and designation of the navy, army and air force have been adjusted to a great extent.

The first is the army.

The total size of the army force is 2 million.

There are 90 infantry divisions and 18 army groups, divided into three major corps.

That is, the 6th Corps, the 7th Corps and the 8th Corps.

Each corps has 6 army groups and 30 infantry divisions.

Zhang Shengqing, Wang Laohu and Li Zhaoli were appointed commanders of the Sixth Corps, Seventh Corps and Eighth Corps respectively.

Fu Yisheng, Jia Dalin and others served as deputies of the Corps and concurrently as commanders of the group army.

The size of the infantry force is 1.55 million.

The five airborne divisions total 100,000 men.

The Young Guards has 5 Guards divisions under its jurisdiction, also totaling 100,000 people.

An Ziliang was appointed commander of the airborne troops, and Qi Guangxiu was appointed commander of the Young Guards.

6 army aviation regiments, 360 armed helicopters, and 15,000 soldiers.

16 armored divisions were organized into two armored armies.

There are 240,000 soldiers and 4,500 tanks.

Finally there is a cavalry group.

Although it has gone through certain screening and elimination, the cavalry group still retains a size of 50,000 people.

Second is the navy.

The East China Sea Fleet has been formed, and the Western Fleet in the Indian Ocean region is being formed.

After the end of 1942, the Navy will have four major fleets - Bohai Fleet, Yellow Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet and Western Fleet, and two super aircraft carrier battle groups.

6 Marine Divisions, 120,000 Marines.

Shipyards in Northeast China, North China, Gongbang Dynasty, Jiangnan and other places are working at full capacity. Three aircraft carriers and a large number of naval ships are under construction.

A year later, the Navy will have at least five super aircraft carrier battle groups.

Finally, there is the Air Force.

Due to the relative lack of jet fighter production capacity, the Air Force is currently equipped with only two regiments of jet fighters, totaling more than 270 aircraft.

The General Staff's plan is to form eight jet fighter flying groups, and the total number of J-2 jet fighters equipped by the Air Force will reach more than 1,100.

However, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal, and it is unlikely to be achieved before the end of 42 years.

The production of J-1 fighter jets has not stopped, but the production volume has been reduced and some production lines have been vacated.

After the Air Force equips jet fighters, old propeller-driven fighters will be gradually phased out or sold overseas.

The performance of the J-1 fighter has reached the pinnacle of propeller-driven fighters. As long as the price is right, there is no need to worry about finding a buyer.

The Air Force is also equipped with three groups of Super Sky Fortress and H-6A bombers.

Among the three armed forces, the air force is relatively weak.

This is mainly due to the constraints of the production capacity of advanced fighter aircraft.

After Jiangdong took charge of many provinces north and south of the Yangtze River, he also tried his best to develop industry while restoring people's livelihood.

Try to use 3 to 5 years to change the nature of an agricultural country.

In an environment where the country is striving for development, the production capacity of jet fighters will soon increase.

In addition to the navy, army and air force, the General Staff Headquarters also directly administers the Hunter Brigade, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Academy of Military Sciences, the Engineering Corps, the Rocket Force and other units.

After a series of adjustments, Jiangdong completely eliminated the influence and shadow of Chongqing from his military and administrative systems.

Chongqing has been watching Jiangdong's actions, but did not even protest.

Everyone knows that the country will be unified sooner or later, but the method will depend on the exchanges between teachers and students.

…………

September 16, 1942, almost a week before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The little devils in Korea, Taiwan and Japan have gradually relaxed their minds. In the past few months, Jiangdong has been busy with domestic affairs and reforming the army and civil affairs. It seems that he has no plans to attack Japan.

Despite the eager urging of other allies, Jiangdong ignored it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and according to China's consistent tradition, troops will not be mobilized on this day when the whole country celebrates and reunites.

The Japanese thought they would have a chance to recuperate.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. Jiangdong is planning to use the Japanese as guinea pigs for another experiment before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the night of September 16, in the darkness of Yunnan, Fujian and Fengtian, missiles were quietly erected, filled with fuel, and ready to be ignited and launched.

The Rocket Force's first battle against the Jiangyin Fortress was a disaster. The Dongfeng 1's failure rate reached an astonishing 50%.

After the first battle, professors and experts from the Academy of Military Sciences learned from their shame and became brave. They checked the plan and adjusted the design every day and night.

After two months of hard work, the Dongfeng-1 missile finally appeared with a new look.

The improved Dongfeng No. 1 warhead's charge has been changed from 1,000 kilograms to 1,300 kilograms, and its power has increased.

At the same time, the range has also been increased, from the original 300 kilometers to the landmark 600 kilometers.

The problems exposed in the first battle have been resolved, and the performance in all aspects has been greatly improved.

Although it cost Jiangdong millions of silver dollars, as long as the performance of Dongfeng 1 is stable, it will all be worth it.

In the combat command room of the General Staff Headquarters in Xiyuan, Peking, Lieutenant General Gao Ping, commander of the Rocket Force, maintained a relatively stable attitude and inspected all aspects of preparations one by one.

"The commander in chief, the chief of general staff, the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion are all ready and can be fired at any time!"

Gao Ping reported to Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Dong glanced at the clock on the wall and found that the time was approaching zero, so he said:

"There is no need to wait for orders from the General Staff Headquarters. Tell each battalion to officially start operations at 00:00!"

"clear!"

Xie Chengrui leaned back in his seat and said with some anticipation:

"Missiles fell from the sky. Such a blow would probably make the little devil feel confused and terrified."

"I don't know where the enemy is, and I don't know how to defend it, haha... I can even imagine the ghostly look on the Japanese officer's face after the missile strike."

Jiangdong also chuckled a few times and looked towards the east of the map, where the Japanese mainland is located.

Xie Chengrui followed Jiang Dong's gaze and his eyes brightened instantly.

"Commander-in-chief, the longest range of Dongfeng 1 is 600 kilometers, so it is unlikely to hit the Japanese mainland."

"Maybe Dongfeng 2 and Dongfeng 3 can do it in the future!"

"By the way, we should be able to see Dongfeng 2 soon, right?"

Jiangdong smiled and nodded.

When there were still a few seconds before zero, Gao Ping said to the two of them:

"It's midnight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the phone in front of him.

"Two missiles from one battalion were successfully ignited and launched, and their flight attitude was normal!"

"Second Battalion reports that the missile has taken off and everything is normal!"

"The third camp is normal!"

Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui looked out the window at the same time.
Chapter completed!
