Forming an Armored Division
In the process of the northeast army changing their allegiance, although there were some troubles, they still succeeded safely.
However, with the occurrence of this matter, Ji Yun also clearly realized that his peaceful days were probably not going to last long. It could even be said that the peace of this world did not have much time left.
In the war more than ten years later, which country had escaped from it? The world war had spread across Asia, Europe, and Africa, and all three regions were caught in the flames of war.
The death toll was over a hundred million! In order to reduce the suffering of this people. Ji Yun was also very hardworking now. There were some things that one would not know if they had not experienced it before. You will understand why we were so weak at that time.
When faced with foreigners, most people's bones had already softened. Even in the 21st century, there were still some people whose bones had not hardened.
This is actually very sad. If we don't respect ourselves, who else will respect us?
Was it in response to the saying,"Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but one's own sins cannot be forgiven"?
Those guys with braids had trained the commoners of this country to be slaves. It caused the heroic spirit in their blood to be deeply suppressed by the servility they imposed.
At this time, they needed someone to lead them and let them understand what they needed to do.
However, the current Commander-in-Chief Jiang did not have this kind of temperament at all, because even he himself felt that he could not straighten his back in front of foreigners.
In this aspect alone, he was far inferior to the founding father of the Republic. After all, Ji Yun himself didn't know if he had such an ability, but the only thing he could do now was to try his best to become stronger.
If a country wanted to truly rise, then a powerful armed force was indispensable. No matter how strong the economy was, if they didn't have any equipment to protect themselves, wasn't that what happened to Dumb Wood and Ka Dazuo?
Therefore, Ji Yun was leading a group of generals to discuss how to build an armored division.
Almost two months had passed, and the first armored regiment of the first armored division had been formed.
Therefore, they had to consider the combat effectiveness of this armored regiment and whether it was strong enough. In the recent tactical deduction, an armored division was the only armored force that could be used to go north during the Battle of Zhongdong Road in 1929.
This was because the past few years had truly been a tumultuous period. Not long after the battle of the Middle East Road, the war in the Central Plains was exposed. They had already demonstrated their strategy. They had to take down the entire northwest region. This included Shaanxi. In other words, most of the territory of the Northwest Army, even those that were not in their hands, were still under the control of the three horses in the northwest. It was also the goal of the Central Plains War in 1930.
However, the journey to the northwest was very long. Mechanized troops were very important at this time. Therefore, only one of the two armored divisions could go to the northern border to participate in the war.
However, in order to build these two armored divisions, Ji Yun had put in a lot of effort. Left with no other choice, Ji Yun could only build Base No. 4. Base No. 4 only had one arsenal and one military camp. The production savings were all used to obtain funds for the base. Only then did they get enough funds to produce these two armored divisions.
However, once these two armored divisions were completed, China's armored force would become the strongest in the world, at least for now.
This time, the armored division was built on a large scale. Each armored division had two armored brigades and a self-propelled artillery brigade. As well as the corresponding engineers and other subordinate armies.
An armored brigade had three regiments. Two of them were armored regiments, and the remaining one was a mechanized infantry regiment.
The armored regiment had three tank battalions, as well as the artillery battalion that he belonged to. The artillery battalion that he belonged to used towed artillery, but the towing vehicles used were the SKFZ234, an armored vehicle that was not put into use in the German Republic until 1944.
Of course, this armored vehicle was developed by the base's own scientists. Due to some material reasons, the performance of this armored vehicle was slightly worse. The main reason was that the main cannon was changed from the original 50mm 60 times diameter tank cannon to the current 45mm 46 times diameter cannon.
At the very least, there was a huge difference in terms of cannons, but in other aspects, they were basically the same.
The artillery battalion under the armored regiment was equipped with two 105mm howitzer companies and one 105mm cannon company.
The howitzer was designed by the people of Dé, but it had also been modified by the scientists of the base, making it easier to use.
It could only be said that it was a 105mm cannon. The 96 used by the Jiaopenji was a 105mm cannon.
This model of cannon could be considered the best of its caliber in World War II. Its range could even reach 18 kilometers.
As for the tank battalion, there were three tank companies under its jurisdiction and a reconnaissance platoon. The reconnaissance platoon was equipped with the SKFZ222 armored vehicle, which was fast. The firepower was also very fierce, so the scouts below loved it.
As for the three tank companies, they were equipped with two platoons of No. 2 medium tanks and one platoon of No. 2 reconnaissance tanks.
A platoon had nine vehicles, and a battalion had 27 vehicles. In addition to the tanks under the direct jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters, a regiment could be equipped with more than 110 tanks of various models, a small number of armored reconnaissance vehicles, and logistics personnel.
The size of an armored regiment was actually smaller than an infantry regiment, with less than 3,000 people.
As for the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, there were three Mechanized Infantry Battalions and an Artillery Battalion. The Artillery Battalion was the same as the Armored Regiment. There were also some multi-purpose vehicles.
Mechanized Infantry Battalion. All the infantrymen used armored vehicles. The Huaxia Type 1928 armored personnel carriers produced by the base could hold a shift of people. With some other special ones, a battalion had more than 30 armored personnel carriers. The size of the last mechanized infantry regiment had reached more than 3,000 people.
An armored division was in charge of two armored brigades. The two armored brigades alone had a total of 20,000 people, not to mention some troops directly under the division headquarters. Together with the self-propelled artillery brigade, the total number of an armored division could reach nearly 30,000 people.
As for the Self-propelled Artillery Brigade, it could be said to be the strongest fire support of the entire armored division.
The self-propelled artillery's base was modified from the No. 2 medium tank's base. The No. 2 medium tank's base was relatively large, so it was enough for the time being.
The self-propelled artillery brigade was equipped with two main types of artillery. One was the 155mm cannon. There was a regiment equipped with a total of 36 cannons. This 155mm cannon could reach a range of more than 30 kilometers. Its performance was still very strong. At least, it could be used to fight through World War II. Moreover, its weight was lighter, only about eight tons. As a 155mm cannon, this weight was considered relatively light.
The other two regiments were equipped with 155mm howitzers. These howitzers were actually cannon howitzers. With a weight of more than five tons, the cannon howitzers could reach a maximum range of more than 20 kilometers. The two regiments were equipped with a total of 72 155mm howitzers.
Naturally, there was also an anti-aircraft artillery brigade. The anti-aircraft brigade governed three anti-aircraft regiments, and each regiment used different caliber anti-aircraft artillery.
The larger caliber 88mm, the smaller caliber 40mm, and the number 20 anti-aircraft gun formed such an air defense brigade.
Ji Yun planned to build two large armored divisions based on this scale. Each armored division would eventually have about 500 tanks and two regiments of mechanized infantry. If the cannons of about two hundred people were to be released alone, they could be considered an army.
However, this structure would probably change in the end. At the very least, the size of the mechanized infantry would be reduced.
