"In the current establishment, we have more than 27,000 people in a division, but there are only 72 artillery pieces, and the caliber of the artillery is very single, 75 and 155, but their volume gap is too large, which is not conducive to the mobility and flexibility of the whole division, there are too many people, and even the logistics are quite troublesome."
"If you use my weapons, you can completely cancel the brigade-level units of division-level troops, and choose the establishment of one division and three regiments, and the following is also the establishment of the three-three system, each infantry squad is composed of 13 people, a sergeant squad leader, a corporal is equipped with submachine guns and pistols, a two-person machine gun crew, and the remaining nine people use semi-automatic rifles.
"Three squads are formed in a platoon, equipped with a six-0 mortar group of four people, 80 mortars at the company level, 120 mortars at the battalion level, plus a 75 artillery company at the regimental level, and a 105 artillery battalion at the division level, the firepower is completely sufficient."
Pershing asked at this time: "What about the heavy artillery" His eyes were already looking at the heavy artillery placed on the side.
Wesley said with a smile: "The general is really anxious, now we are talking about heavy artillery, these big guys will never be faster than the infantry, then we can gather them together and form a brigade, a heavy artillery brigade."
Brigade-level units can be designed as special arms, such as heavy artillery brigades, engineer brigades, cavalry brigades and other special combat units, these special units because of their special nature, need special treatment, such as the centralized use of heavy artillery, if dispersed is very inconvenient, not only drag down the infantry, but also inconvenient to supply, and at the same time the itinerary can not be powerful, but it is the same when concentrated. ” "I think the general should be the most clear about the concentrated bombardment of heavy artillery, and the engineers are concentrated, and they can be dispersed when necessary, and when building roads and bridges, they can concentrate manpower, so brigade-level units do not set up regiments, but directly set up battalion-level units, and each brigade is equipped with six battalions, which is also a three-three system."
"In this way, it is easier to disperse and cooperate with the infantry, and it is also convenient to use it centrally, and we can also concentrate the three division-level units into an army and deploy brigade-level special units, while the army-level combat units are temporary, such as set up during the war, and then disbanded.
Three armies became army groups.
Dispersed and combined, it can adapt to any war situation. ” After Verus finished speaking, he took a glass of water from the worker next to him and drank it, Wesley was very well prepared, not only he had water to drink, but everyone had it.
It's all Coca-Cola.
There was a lot of talk just now, and Wesley waited for them to consume it before pointing to the heavy artillery and said: "120 howitzers, 155 howitzers, these are two kinds of artillery equipped with heavy artillery brigades, each with three battalions of configuration, with the artillery of divisional units, multi-level, multi-positional, multi-functional battlefield firepower coverage, I think this is enough, isn't it?"
"Let's cover up the heavy artillery" Pershing was eager to try, Wesley could only let people fire, the two types of artillery were full of power, all of them were fired in the direction of the sea, otherwise it would be difficult to show the advantage in distance.
West Point's location is by the sea, otherwise artillery would not have been able to train at all, and now the advantage in distance can be fully demonstrated, Wesley's design is not the heavy artillery of World War I, and even exceeds that of World War II.
"Great, Mr.
President, we have to redress our army, with such equipment, by the way, we need new tactics, and this needs to be studied in a hurry."
Pershing said to the president.
The president said helplessly: "My general, the United States is not up to me alone, those guys in Congress may not necessarily agree, and it is basically difficult to agree, the Navy is okay, but the Army" Pershing was poured cold water, but then he looked at Wesley.
"It looks like I'm going to have to go to Congress to speak, but if I succeed, then I'm hoping to form a battalion-sized Marine Corps, and when training is successful, I'll need to expand it into a brigade."
"Haha, young man, so you are waiting here, you just graduated and became a captain, and now you are thinking about the rank of major at the battalion level, and the rank of brigadier general at the brigade level" Pershing laughed.
"I'm sorry general, if according to my assumption, the brigade level is a special combat unit, then the brigade commander should have the rank of major general, and such a brigade-level battle I define as a technical branch, these soldiers are soldiers with special skills, and they should be one level higher than ordinary troops."
Pershing was dumbfounded, this one is really unkind.
"Okay, today we can be regarded as opening our eyes, as for the congressional speech, I will arrange it, I hope you will perform well, but why do you want to form a Marine Corps We already have this branch."
"In my opinion, that's just the army that does warships, and the real marines should take on greater responsibilities, especially to cooperate with the navy for landing operations, but I don't plan to say it here, because our navy is too weak, my shipyard is ready to compete for orders for naval ships, and my marines must have the best warships to cooperate."
"Young man, you are very talented, but if you are so sharp, you will be besieged by those vampires."
Pershing said suddenly.
"Rest assured General, their siege has already begun, but no matter how much they besiege, what means can they use to assassinate them, they have already used it, it is completely useless, commercial means or administrative means, and arms and shipbuilding are not very good in the United States, the interests I have encroached on are limited, and besides, I am not without allies."
Wesley does have allies, but in the past his allies also wanted to annex him, but now they are more willing to cooperate, because they are afraid, such as DuPont, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc., Wesley is looking for powerful friends, but which party they belong to, Wesley gave them the opportunity to make money, and what they need is for them to be honest.
"Let's get here today," Mr.
President left with all the men, and it was only then that Principal Clarence came over with a smile.
"Well done boy, although I don't know that you are going to convince Congress, but I am optimistic about your idea and continue to work hard."
"Thank you, Mr.
Chancellor."
In the following days, Wesley was idle, and the arsenal had been completed, Wesley directly asked the arsenal to stock up on raw materials and steel, and the expansion of the shipyard was also underway, and the dock began to add 4 5,000-ton docks and 4 10,000-ton docks, these are the first phase of the project, and the cargo ships that Wesley needs are being built, all of which are container ships and oil tankers. t1706231537:
