Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The envy on the faces of the Japanese generals was even stronger, but many people were also sighing in their hearts. The Ford Model T, Ford Model TT multi-purpose vehicle, Dodge sedan, and Dodge truck produced by China Fuda Motor Company had previously relied on their quality and  The price advantage has completely occupied the mid- to low-end market of imported cars in Japan. Since the production capacity of China Fuda Automobile Company has been prioritized to meet the equipment needs of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, Japanese car dealers have been unable to purchase goods in the past two months.  dilemma.

    Seeing the Chinese giant stand up step by step, many Japanese generals were quietly lamenting that if this continues, Japan's economy and industry will not only be overtaken by China, but will also be surpassed and left far behind.  Later, what else can I do but lament and cheer up?  The imperial people are already very motivated for the sake of their country and nation, but how old is Japan?  Resources are scarce, the key is no oil, and coal and iron mines are mediocre. How can we compete with a behemoth like China with such conditions?

    The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces gave a downward direction, and the noise in the conference room quickly dissipated. Everyone looked at the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces eagerly. Apparently, they were all thinking about the personnel arrangements and arrangements for the second batch of four mechanized group armies after they were formed.  To whom does the command belong?

    July 28, 1918 13:45 Operation Conference Room of the Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Samara

    "Everyone, since the current supply of tanks and armored vehicles cannot meet all needs, the coalition command plans to first form the following mechanized group army"

    Qian Tianfu, the chief staff officer of the war room of the coalition headquarters, replaced a new grouping diagram at Wang Geng's signal, pointed at it and explained in detail. The generals of the Chinese and Japanese federations in the room all listened intently and listened with their ears raised.  Looking forward to seeing the number of his unit.

    "The formation plan of the mechanized group army of the Central Front of the Allied Forces is as follows:"

    1. The 7th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the Allied Forces consists of the 2nd Mixed Armor Brigade, the 79th Mixed Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 1st Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the 7th Siberian Motorized Infantry Division, the 27th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and **  The 7th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, the 7th ** Armored Tank Regiment, and the 7th ** Engineer and Transport Regiment.

    2. The 8th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the Allied Forces consists of the 29th Mixed Armor Brigade, the 80th Mixed Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the 8th Siberian Motorized Infantry Division, the 28th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and **  The 8th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, the 8th ** Armored Tank Regiment, and the 8th ** Engineer and Transport Regiment.

    3. The 9th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the Allied Forces consists of the 9th Mixed Armor Brigade, the 82nd Mixed Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 5th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the 4th Samara Motorized Infantry Division, and the 29th Heavy Artillery Regiment.  ** Anti-aircraft Artillery 9th Regiment, ** Armored Tank Regiment 9th, ** Engineer Baggage Regiment 9th.

    4. The 10th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the Allied Forces consists of the 60th Mixed Armor Brigade, the 85th Mixed Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 3rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Ufa Motorized Infantry Division, the 10th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and **  The 10th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, the 10th ** Armored Tank Regiment, and the 10th ** Engineer and Transport Regiment.

    In this formation plan of four mechanized armies, the 2nd Mixed Armor Brigade of the Chinese 1st Armored Division was originally incorporated into the 7th Group Army, while the 3rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade retained the tradition of cavalry and was organized into the 10th Group Army.  The Japanese cavalry regiment came from the three divisions of the Japanese 1st Army. All old units continued to use their original numbers, while the new ** regiments maintained the same numbers as the group army.

    As soon as the formation plan of these four mechanized group armies came out, everyone was very happy. It was an unexpected joy that Japan's three cavalry regiments were incorporated into the mechanized group army. Tanaka Yiichi obviously lacked sufficient mental preparation. He did not expect that the Chinese king would attack the Japanese troops.  Participating in the formation of the mechanized group army has been planned for a long time. Isn't it a waste of my courage to confront the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?

    The three Japanese division commanders also looked happy and nodded frequently. The smaller captains of the three Japanese cavalry regiments also attended the meeting to accompany the last one. At this moment, they were so happy that they almost jumped up.  Shout "Full Load!"

    Li Mingzhong, Zhang Weixi and Xiong Shihui finally smiled when they saw it. The remaining brigades of the 3rd and 9th 20th Divisions that were not incorporated into the infantry group army were upgraded to mixed armored brigades and incorporated into the mechanized group army. This finally achieved the goal of these three old soldiers.  It was a brother's dream wish, but then the three guys looked at the three brigade commanders under their command, winking happily, and they were a little tired and couldn't lift their spirits. Damn, if I had known that these four mechanized armies were actually pieced together.  If they can be put together, I will be the commander of the infantry group army. It is only right for me to directly lead my brigade to command the mechanized group army.

    But now it's too late to say anything. After Tanaka Yiichi was groomed and buried in front of the Chinese king with a beard hanging on his face, he wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. These three Chinese generals who had already become the commanders of the infantry group army did not dare to say anything anymore.  Hu jumped out and said nonsense like I don't want to command an infantry group army, but a mechanized group army.

    Just like the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces had planned everything in the Battle of UfaLikewise, at this moment, these veteran Chinese generals are gradually learning about Wang Geng's temperament and character. You don't have to worry about things like which positions should be given to whom. The Chinese king has already made his own decisions.

    "Since the tanks and armored vehicles currently transported to the front line can meet the needs of the three mixed armored brigades for tanks and armored vehicles, and the 2nd mixed armored brigade already has its own armored vehicles, after the formation of the fourth group army is completed, the main  There are gaps in armored vehicles and Dodge trucks used by motorized infantry divisions. However, this issue has been considered by the coalition command before. The 8,000 Dodge one-ton and a half trucks purchased from the United States a month ago have arrived at the Port of Vladivostok along with ocean-going freighters.  It will take time to transport it here to Samara," the coalition chief of staff said.

    The coalition command's precautionary measures look quite encouraging. Of course, the gap now appears in the fd17ii wheeled armored vehicles and Dodge trucks. Obviously, at least in the next August, the four mechanized army armies still lack motorized infantry divisions.  There are enough Dodge trucks to carry infantry, and it will take at least a week to ten days to transport the 8,000 American-made Dodge trucks from the Port of Vladivostok to the Great Plains of Ufa. The steam locomotives of this era are full of horsepower and powerful, and a truck can carry 3,000  It is not uncommon to have 40 to 60 carriages per ton.

    Since each motorized infantry division will be equipped with a total of 580 Dodge trucks, as many as 98 FJ18 Humvee off-road multi-purpose vehicles equipped at the company commander level, and the regiment-affiliated armored tank reconnaissance companies of three motorized infantry regiments  It will have 4 tanks and 6 armored fighting vehicles. The three regiments will have 12 tanks and 18 armored vehicles. The brigade tank and armored battalion will have 10 tanks and 30 armored fighting vehicles. The entire motorized infantry brigade will have 22.  tanks and 48 armored vehicles.
