Chapter 80: Expansion of the Army


Li Zhilong returned to the Lianyun Naval Military Academy. ** After the Battle of Tsushima, the Navy has been learning lessons.

Chen Jiliang and Chen Shaokuan also often ran back, and in the naval battle of Tsushima, Chen Jiliang was the direct commander, and he was flexible and brave in battle.

Lee Zhilong is also only a cooperative position in naval warfare.

However, after the Battle of Tsushima, the Pacific Fleet became the main direction of development.

After all, it was relatively weak in the early stage, and the defense of Taiwan had already been handed over to the Pacific Fleet, in order not to clash with the old colleagues of the Kuomintang.

The Pacific Fleet did not choose Kaohsiung as its base in the Taiwan Strait, but chose Hualien and Taitung, which are also closer to the Ryukyus.

Chen Shaokuan assisted Li Zhilong in the construction of naval military schools and ship repair yards in Hualien and Naha, specializing in training basic naval talents.

At the same time, the College of Agriculture of Xinmin University also established agricultural colleges in Kamiyaku, Naha, Taipei, Hualien, and Taitung. and established the Institute of Aquaculture, Forestry and Agriculture.

Taiwan has been under Japanese rule for many years, and a lot of construction has been carried out on it, and Japanese immigrants and imperial education cannot be cleared up for a while.

However, with the introduction of free education on the Ryukyu islands, a large number of students and workers arrived.

The level of education in the Ryukyus and eastern Taitung is significantly higher than that of other parts of Taiwan.

This made the Taiwanese a little red-eyed.

The pro-people approach of mainland cadres in various parts of Taiwan was quickly recognized by the common people.

This is not only the Taiwanese natives, but even some Japanese immigrants think that the government of the mainland is better than the Japanese government.

For rural and economic policies are also better than in Japan.

With the increasing number of cadres and students on the mainland, some counties and cities began to carry out rural reforms. and jointly transform the transportation system.

Some mainland fishing companies have been stationed in Kaohsiung, Keelung, and Hualien.

Small fishing boats along the coast began to decline, and many fishermen joined fishing companies.

But they're all young people, because they're huge.

On the advanced fishing boats, people without education basically can't eat.

The Han Chinese taught the older generation of fishermen to engage in shallow water farming while planting trees on the beach.

In order to learn from the experience, many Taiwanese followed the fishing boats to various ports in Wuhan and even in the mainland to learn about the breeding experience.

Go to vocational schools in the interior to learn about farming and agriculture.

Forestry management stations and fisheries management offices have been established.

Regardless of whether they are cadres or students who come to Taiwan, they are very tough, and they are always full of weapons.

Everyone will take the initiative to be a teacher in the school and also teach the children to exercise.

They founded the Xinmin Education Foundation.

Giving breakfast to each child is like raising your own child.

The news from the Taiwanese who arrived on the mainland was that this was the case everywhere on the mainland.

Children go to kindergarten at the age of three and elementary school at the age of five.

I almost don't go home during the day, and the food is very nutritious, and the meat, eggs and milk are very sufficient.

On the contrary, the proportion of food is not large.

Children learn to practice martial arts from an early age.

The body is naturally strong.

The cadres and students who went to Taiwan were not the most powerful figures.

Awesome characters have gone to the army.

There are not many troops on the mainland, but they are all selected by thousands.

It's one in a thousand.

Because of the huge territory of the Wuhan government, it is said that there are only four group armies, and each group army is no more than 1450,000 people.

The entire army is only 600,000 men.

It is not as large as the army of the central government, which also has an army of one million people.

Every household in the mainland has access to electricity.

Some wealthy families also have TVs and refrigerators.

Bicycles are available in every house.

All children, students have watches.

The legend of the common people is very good, but the reality is not so optimistic.

These Taiwanese were deliberately placed in economically developed places.

Only the central part of Longhai, Shaanxi and Shandong are better.

Even JAC has just improved.

The better ones in the west are South Baikal.

Because of the rapid expansion, almost all of the economic surplus in the Wuhan government area has been used to subsidize the border provinces in recent years.

If it weren't for the support of foreign trade.

The Wuhan government will run a deficit.

Wu Hao and Zeng Simin have warned the provinces on several occasions to allocate resources in a scientific manner.

It is necessary to make overall plans and coordinate efforts to improve the situation by the end of 1937.

The feedback is that South Baikal can achieve a surplus, and Chita and Dunhuang can achieve a balance.

Shanxi and Jianghuai did not need government subsidies, and were able to complete the construction by themselves in 1938, with self-sufficiency in grain and a slight output.

The biggest expenditure in these places is on construction.

It was expected that in 1938, large-scale construction would be largely completed.

The subsidized provinces are in **, Suiyuan, North Korea, Guizhou, Sichuan, Qinghai.

Among them, Sichuan and Guizhou do not need food subsidies, but the consumption of transportation and infrastructure is very large.

Others need to be subsidized both food and finance.

Ryukyu Province has become one of the provinces that has contributed significantly to the economy because of its fishing industry.

Everything in Taiwan has eased up.

Wu Hao was full of confidence in the economic situation in 1938, believing that 1937 was the most difficult year, and as long as there was no deficit, it would be a great victory.

However, in the face of the possibility of a large-scale war.

The existing forces, in the face of the rapidly expanding number of troops and military equipment capabilities of Soviet Japan will be troublesome once war breaks out.

The headquarters had decided to expand the Fifth Army at the end of 1937 on the basis of the army of Cheng Qian and Cai Tingkai.

Responsible for the defense of Shanxi and Shandong.

Ye Jianying's army left in the central part of the country expanded the Sixth Army on the basis.

Responsible for the defense of Jiangnan.

On the basis of the troops directly under the headquarters, the Seventh Army was formed.

It is mainly used for wartime reserve troops and the front-line defense of the Yangtze River in Jianghuai.

Lu Zhonglin's Third Army and Zhang Liang's First Army were all placed in the four northern provinces.

Peng Dehuai's Fourth Army has all arrived.

Zhou Rong's Second Army was in charge of the defense of Japan and Manchuria.

The entire expansion plan was to be completed in 1938.

The first to be completed in 1937 was the replenishment of the Second Army in Korea and the Sixth Army in Jiangnan with new recruits.

The First Army of Dunhuang and Western South Baikal also needed to be replenished because there was one army missing.

The Third Army in Chita, Eastern South Baikal and Suiyuan was relatively intact, but it was the most tense area, which was internationally known as the powder keg of the Far East.

The Fifth and Seventh Armies needed to wait until 1938.

The Air Force formed the First Air Force based in Seoul, Gwangju, and Weihai.

The Second Air Force was newly formed, with Kunlun, Chita, and Wuliangcheng as bases.

This was to be done in 1937.

Prepare for the Third Air Force, with Wuhan, Hefei, and Nanchang as bases.

Completed in 1938.

In addition, in addition to the infantry division, each field army must be equipped with armored rocket divisions and army aviation divisions.

All of them will be upgraded to a combined ground and air strike service.

This way each corps had three infantry divisions and one armored rocket division and army aviation division.

And each infantry division must be equipped with at least one regimental armored rapid reaction force.

This configuration was basically completed in Lu Zhonglin's Third Army.

In the past, synthetic drills had not yet been carried out, and they were all conducted separately, because of the supply problem, there were many infantry drills, but few drills for mechanized troops.

But after Zhang Chun arrived in Chita and participated in a drill with the troops, he decided that he must do a composite drill.

Even if you don't use live ammunition, you should use training ammunition.

If you don't practice it, there will be problems with cooperation at that time.

In 1937, in any case, the First Army was to be fully equipped.

The North should conduct joint military exercises between group armies to test whether the joint command system is smooth.

The Navy's equipment is in a hurry, but basically submarines come first, destroyers second, supply ships, and logistics support ships second.

The aircraft carrier has the most problems, and a dead order was given to ensure quality.

Rather later.

Helicopter carriers were converted into helicopter landing ships.

It is possible to reduce the number of helicopters and increase the ship's firepower, anti-submarine and ship-to-ship defense capabilities.

Intensify landing operations.

Because helicopter landing ships still need destroyers and submarines to escort them, a fleet should not exceed two ships for the time being, and it should not act alone.

The destroyer should be equipped with at least one helicopter and perform anti-submarine and attack missions.

Therefore, the manufacture of helicopters has become the focus of the next two years, which is not yet a very mature model, and the pressure on the Wuhan Helicopter Research Institute is very great.

In fact, the requirements for the process requirements of helicopters are only higher than those of fighters.

It's the same with logistics.

Fortunately, helicopter factories have been set up in Wuhan, Panzhihua, Taiyuan and Baotou.

Altai and Karamay are also in preparation.

It is only necessary to strengthen the research and development force.

So, relatively speaking, the Air Force is still the slowest to develop.

The command's plan was to reach 1.2 million troops by the end of 1938.

The two fleets of the Navy should be fully staffed.

Each fleet has at least one carrier carrier, one carrier-based aviation formation, at least two helicopter landing ships, one carrier-based helicopter formation.

A division of marines.

At least eight destroyers, two transport and supply ships, two anti-submarine frigates, one hospital ship.

The combined number of the two fleets at sea and land is about 60,000 men.

The two armies of the Air Force are about 20,000 people, because in addition to fighters, they also need to be equipped with bombers.

As for how much, it's hard to say now.

The reserve force will be about 6 million people.

Each county has a regiment of reserves, which is equipped and regularly trained by the local armed forces.
