"Marshal, it's still late at night. Most people are still sleeping, so the progress of the recruitment can only be said to be average.”
"Although I have sent many soldiers to set up recruitment points, we have only managed to gather 10,000 reserve soldiers.”
Zhao Zhenfan looked at Zhang Xueming and said helplessly.
It had only been less than seven hours since the September 18th Incident.
Most of the time, they were still fighting against the Japanese invaders.
He had done his best to raise 10,000 reserve players in an hour or two.
"Only 10,000 reserve players? Too little."
Zhang Xueming stared at Zhao Zhenfan and said in a deep voice.
"In the short term, I want 150,000 reserve players.”
It was imperative to station troops in Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan.
According to Zhang Xueming's estimations, if he wanted to make Zhang Xiaoliu hesitate, it would not be enough without the deterrence of two full editors.
They also needed 75mm heavy artillery.
In this way, no matter how unwilling Zhang Xiaoliu was, he could not return to Fengtian.
As for Hei and Ji, they were occupied by the Japanese.
He wanted to take it back and guard it firmly.
Other than the necessary heavy artillery, the military strength could not be less than six full divisions.
Two full regiments and two heavy artillery regiments to guard the Changbai Mountains.
The possibility of the Japanese invaders sending more troops to invade the Black and Lucky Lands was cut off.
The two full-strength divisions took advantage of the lack of reinforcements to wipe out the Japanese invaders one by one.
In Ji Province, they also needed two full divisions to take back the fallen city.
Therefore, in order to better resist the Japanese invaders.
Zhang Xueming had combined the characteristics of the American, German, and Soviet armies to make up for their shortcomings.
A new army was formed.
One infantry division was made up of three infantry regiments.
Artillery, engineering, and medical troops were indispensable.
Communication troops, reconnaissance troops, and logistics troops were the foundation.
As for cannons, a division would have at least thirty-six 105mm grenades.
36 75mm Wild Mountain Cannons and 64 Anti-Tank Cannons.
100 50mm guns and 50 80mm guns.
There were also anti-aircraft guns. Twelve of them would be enough.
There were 380 MG34 machine guns and 588 MP38 submachine guns.
11,600 M1s and 2,600 Browning pistols.
A full-fledged division would have about 15,000 soldiers.
Speaking of this, he had to praise the old marshal's foresight.
All the cities and towns in Fengtian had built cement roads.
As a result, the Fengtian Munitions Factory, which could produce its own military trucks, was very efficient in transporting anything.
Zhang Xueming would assemble 700 trucks for an infantry division to ensure logistics.
Also, they needed troops to take back the territory occupied by the Japanese invaders, and they needed troops to guard against Zhang Xiaoliu at Shanhaiguan.
Zhang Xueming didn't ignore the fact that Fengtian was a local.
If they wanted to defend Fengtian and resist the enemy, Zhang Xueming believed that they would need five divisions at the very beginning.
The more, the better.
The biggest factor.
They were the Japanese invaders who could not capture Mukden. If they wanted to send troops from their homeland, they could only go through Lushun and Dalian.
The impact on the inside of the pass was not great, but for the outside of the pass, the speed at which the Japanese invaders transported their troops was too fast.
Moreover, the Japanese invaders had long prepared for the invasion and had a more complete reserve system than the Northeast.
To defend the northeast, Zhang Xueming needed at least 200,000 troops.
"This!"
Facing Zhang Xueming's plan, Zhao Zhenfan and the others were stunned.
It was extremely difficult to raise 10,000 soldiers, so what was the concept of a 15-fold increase?
This was not as simple as one plus one. The difficulty had increased exponentially.
Zhang Xueming still wanted to gather such a huge army in a short period of time. How was this possible?
It was not to say that the reserve system in the northeast for so many years had been in vain.
However, Zhang Xueming had given him too little time, so Zhao Zhenfan was at his wit's end.
One had to know that the 2nd division of the Japanese camp was about to arrive at Sujiatun.
If the Japanese invaders 'camp progressed smoothly, they would be able to reach Fengtian City within twenty-four hours.
Once that happened, the Japanese invaders would definitely cut off Fengtian City's connection with the outside world.
Even if reserve soldiers were recruited from other places, they could not be transported to Fengtian to fight.
Thus, Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng understood what Zhang Xueming meant.
This required 150,000 reserve players to be recruited within 24 hours.
"Alright, I won't deliberately make a request that I can't fulfill just to make things difficult for you.”
Facing Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng's helplessness, Zhang Xueming said confidently.
"My big brother gave the order not to resist, causing at least 200,000 troops in the northeast to be torn apart by the Japanese invaders.”
"Without a leader, how do you think these troops will choose?”
"He must be seeking refuge with Zhang Xiaoliu."
"But if we successfully intercept them before they enter the pass, would it still be impossible to get 150,000 reserve players?”
Hearing Zhang Xueming's words, Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng became excited.
That's right!
If it was a random recruitment, then it would be a fool's dream to gather 150,000 reserve soldiers within 24 hours.
However, if they could gather the defeated Northeastern Army, 150,000 reserve soldiers would not be impossible!
Even if the Northeast Army seemed to be in decline to others, that was only when compared to the prime of the old marshal.
In the entire Great Yan Huang Empire, the combat strength of the Northeast Army could even be compared to the national team.
He really wasn't weak.
In fact, the Northeast Army's individual quality was already very strong, and they had a lot of battlefield experience.
It was just that the soldiers were one and the soldiers were the same.
Against a useless major like Zhang Xiaoliu, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they were useless.
"Marshal, in that case, I have a presumptuous request.”
Zhao Zhenfan looked at Zhang Xueming and said.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
Zhang Xueming looked at Zhao Zhenfan without hesitation.
"The cavalry company of the 7th regiment."
"No problem."
Zhang Xueming responded as soon as Zhao Zhenfan finished speaking.
After all, they were fighting against the Japanese, which meant that they were more mobile.
Other than tanks and armored units, cavalry was definitely the fastest type of soldier.
Tanks and armor needed to be stationed in Fengtian in case of emergency. They could not be moved for the time being.
However, the cavalry was not a problem.
After all, the era of cold weapons had passed. Cavalry was still useful, but it was not particularly important.
Even if he was sent to Zhao Zhenfan, it would not affect the overall situation of Fengtian.
"In that case, Marshal, just wait for the good news.”
"I will immediately head to the new citizens to stop them.”
Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng were quick to execute Zhang Xueming's orders.
The military situation was like fire. They had to fight for every minute and second.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Xueming also understood that time was of the essence, so he nodded at Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng.
The new citizens had a special geographical location.
If the northeast soldiers of Ji and Hei wanted to find Zhang Xiaoliu, the new citizens would not be able to avoid them.
If they intercepted the new citizens in advance, the 150,000 reserve players of Fengtian would not be a problem.
That was why Zhao Zhenfan wanted the cavalry company.
The cavalry company would definitely be able to intercept most of the soldiers before they could reach the new citizens.
Moreover, the new people are in the northwest of Mukden.
Even if the Fengtian troops fought the Japanese invaders in Sujiatun, it had nothing to do with the recruitment of new citizens.
