Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 776 The base is our fundamental territory, we cannot lose it no matter what!

Half a month passed in a flash. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district completed all pre-war preparations at an extremely fast speed.

Today is the day to test the results. In another 12 days, the troops will leave the base and launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese 12th Army.

According to the previous combat plan, Lin Zhenhua and his men did not intend to annihilate the entire Japanese 12th Army because that would take too much time.

However, if the Japanese 12th Army cannot be severely damaged, the troops will most likely be in the awkward situation of fighting on two fronts, and one wrong move may lead to complete defeat.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhenhua had to make significant revisions to his previous battle plan. He planned to capture half of Shanxi Province, continue to expand the base area, and provide sufficient supplies for the subsequent counterattack.

"The base is our foundation. No matter what the circumstances, we cannot lose this foundation!"

"As long as we have a base that can continuously provide us with supplies and manpower, even if we suffer some losses on the front lines, we will have enough strength to deal with the upcoming battle!"

"Next, let me tell you about the reorganization of the troops. After many combat drills, the troop organization has finally been finalized."

"Let me first discuss the infantry regiments. From a practical perspective, each infantry regiment consists of 2800 personnel, divided into three infantry battalions, each with 800 personnel, plus a 400-man regimental headquarters."

"We have established a total of 40 infantry regiments with a total strength of 112,000 people. Each infantry regiment is equipped with 600 combat logistics and transport vehicles of various types, which is enough to ensure self-sufficiency."

"For ease of command, the forty infantry regiments were reorganized into eight infantry brigades, namely the 101st to the 108th Brigades."

"The 101st and 102nd Brigades are under the command of Li Yunlong, the 103rd and 104th Brigades are under the command of Kong Jie, the 105th and 106th Brigades are under the command of Ding Wei, and the 107th and 108th Brigades are under the command of Chu Yunfei."

"Next, let's talk about the artillery. We have formed a total of 30 artillery regiments, including eight heavy artillery regiments, eight rocket artillery regiments, six anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and six conventional artillery regiments. Each regiment has 2000 people, for a total of 6 people."

"I will be the artillery commander and be responsible for the command of the entire artillery regiment!"

"Next, let's talk about our mainstay, the armored forces. We've finally reorganized them into twelve armored regiments, each equipped with 90 tanks and 130 armored vehicles. Including combat maintenance personnel, each regiment has a total strength of 2500 men, for a total strength of 3 men."

"Finally, I'd like to talk about our air force. To support the frontline operations, we have organized a total of eight fighter regiments, six bomber regiments, three ground attack aircraft regiments, and three logistics transport regiments."

"We have a total of 1600 fighter jets, which is more than enough to support our early stages of operations. Furthermore, our base's arsenal is still producing continuously, and the current production capacity can fully compensate for the losses during the battle."

"I will be in charge of the air force command, while Zhao Gang will be in charge of logistics and transportation. For this operation, the total number of troops we will deploy will reach 25."

"There are 16 troops left behind in the base. Although the combat effectiveness of these second-line troops is not strong, there will be no problem in defending our base!"
