    July 28, 1918, 13:10, Operation Conference Room, Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters, Samara

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I once again request that the Ufa Group Army and the Samara Group Army be included in the mixed army reorganization plan of the Allied Forces Central Front. Otherwise, this will be too uncomfortable. Our two group armies have contributed to the entire Ufa Campaign.  Minister, in the end, the newly formed group armies joined the Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army and made great achievements. Instead, I, the son of the Federal Prime Minister, maintained public security and order in Samara. This is not the ace force of the Volga Federation! "

    Before Wang Geng finished speaking, Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev, the federal prime minister and commander of the Samara Army Group, who represented the Volga federal government at the mixed military meeting of the entire army, started shouting at the top of his lungs,  Although the Chinese pronunciation sounds weird, the meaning is clearly expressed.

    For so-called military meetings between coalition forces and multinational forces, language is an insurmountable obstacle. Fortunately, the coalition forces have been sending troops for a long time. Not only the coalition headquarters, but also the staff adjutants and translators in the various units below are proficient in Chinese, Russian and Japanese.  Now, considering that today is the first time for the newly arrived Japanese First Army generals and Chinese 4th Group Army generals to participate in such a multi-lingual meeting, Wang Geng used his native Chinese, while those in the war rooms of the three headquarters  Chinese, Japanese, and federal staff members also performed simultaneous translation work in Chinese, Japanese, and Russian languages.

    Wang Geng was speechless at first, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Vasily Nikolayevich, you are the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. All federal troops are deployed by you. How can you say that?"  Do you care about your own Samara Army? Do you want me to order you to be relieved of your position as the concurrent army commander, so that you can concentrate on leading the cabinet government and managing the federation? "

    Pepelyaev choked when he heard this, his old face flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary, I can survive. Now that Denikin is the deputy prime minister and the minister of war, it is somewhat useful."  I also sent many capable subordinates to help me with my idea. I have to serve as the commander of the Samara Army, otherwise I will make people laugh. Denikin directly commands more than one army group. I can't let him take the lead.  Bar?"

    Wang Geng nodded and saw that the generals on both sides of the conference table did not ask any more questions, so he signaled Qian Tianfu, director of the war room who was already prepared, to start explaining the mixed arrangement of the Allied Central Front Army.

    It turned out that on the wall of the big combat map, at this time, a new plan of the Central Army Mixed Plan was hung up.

    "The purpose of the mixed formation of the Federal Central Front is to create a true coalition force to prepare for the future war with the German and Austrian Allies on the Eastern Front. To this end, the first step is to form the 3rd, 9th and 9th units of the Chinese 3rd Group Army in the coalition forces.  The 20th Division conducted a mixed reorganization with the newly arrived Chinese 4th Group Army's 27th, 28th and 29th reorganized divisions, resulting in 18 new Chinese infantry mixed brigades, half of each mixed brigade experienced Siberia.  Half of the veterans of the Great March and the Battle of Ufa are new domestic reinforcements!¡±

    This plan has been passing through the wind before, so the Chinese division commanders and brigade commanders here all nodded silently. Although for Li Mingzhong, Zhang Weixi, Xiong Shihui and others, their mixed brigades were already veterans of hundreds of battles, and they were formed after mixing  The new mixed brigade will inevitably experience a decline in combat effectiveness, but as long as new recruits are added, this will always happen.

    Fortunately, among the three new reorganized divisions of the 4th Group that came from China, only one-third of the real recruits were recruited. After being dispersed and organized into 18 mixed brigades, the number was only one-sixth. The combat effectiveness of the troops was reduced.  The impact is basically negligible.

    While pointing at the schematic diagram, Qian Tianfu, chief staff officer of the war room, continued to explain,

    "After mixing, China's mixed infantry brigade has a full strength of 13,000 people. Each brigade has 3 infantry regiments (3x2,750 people), 1 artillery regiment (1,200 people), 1 armored reconnaissance battalion (560 people), 2 high-tech  Artillery and anti-tank battalion (2x225 people), 1 engineer and baggage regiment (4x518 people, including 1 engineer battalion, 1 baggage battalion, 2 supplementary battalion), 1 brigade communications service company (126 people), 1 field medical company (  126 people), 1 brigade training team (216 people)"

    The armored reconnaissance battalion has 4 armored companies with 10 fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicles. Each armored company has a company headquarters (1 vehicle) and 3 armored platoons with 3 tanks each. Each tank has a driver and co-driver.  It has 2 personnel, 2 heavy machine gun shooters and auxiliary shooters, and a 10-man vehicle-mounted infantry squad. The battalion headquarters and the 1st company headquarters share an armored command vehicle. The entire armored reconnaissance battalion has 40 fd17ii wheeled combat vehicles.  The full complement is 560 people.

    The anti-aircraft artillery battalion has four anti-aircraft batteries with six 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and each anti-aircraft battery has three two-gun anti-aircraft gun platoons.  Each anti-aircraft gun is a squad of 9 people. The entire anti-aircraft gun battalion has 24 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and the battalion headquarters is fully staffed with a total of 225 people. In view of the newly developed and put into production m191837aa single-barreled high-speedThe artillery can completely replace anti-tank guns when firing armor-piercing projectiles. Considering that the German and Austrian armored forces are limited in number and the Luftwaffe is very powerful, the two anti-tank artillery battalions under each mixed brigade are equipped with  But they are all m191837aa single-barreled anti-aircraft guns, so the anti-aircraft battalion also plays the role of an anti-tank battalion.

    "Each infantry regiment has 3 infantry battalions, 1 artillery company, 1 armored reconnaissance company, 1 anti-aircraft artillery company, 1 engineer supply company, and 1 communications service platoon, with a total of 2,750 people."

    The artillery regiment under the brigade has 3 artillery battalions, of which 1 mountain artillery battalion is equipped with 18 75mm Type 41 mountain guns, each battalion has 3 6-gun mountain artillery batteries, and 2 field artillery battalions are equipped with 36 75mm caliber Type 38 guns.  For field artillery, each battalion has three 6-gun field artillery batteries. The entire brigade artillery regiment has a total of 54 75mm caliber mountain field artillery. In addition, there is a health clinic, a logistics supply vehicle company, and the artillery regiment is fully staffed.  The number of people is 1200.

    If you add the artillery of the artillery companies of the three infantry regiments, the number of 75mm cannons in the entire mixed brigade reaches 72!  All towed with a Dodge one and a half ton military truck.  "

    Qian Tianfu's words made the Chinese general's face glow with pride, and he sat up straighter. On the other hand, the Japanese general opposite had an expression of envy, jealousy, and disdain that could not be concealed. The Chinese could not be considered true just by virtue of their weapons.  Ability, many Japanese generals comforted themselves like this, and some even comforted themselves by saying that the Chinese artillery units were equipped with Japanese-standard artillery, completely ignoring that these artillery were authentic Chinese artillery produced by Chinese arsenals.
