    In early August, in response to several battles on the battlefield in the Central Plains, especially the Battle of Suiqi, the Ministry of National Defense organized in Nanjing the commanders of the various armies and divisions participating in the war, as well as the chiefs of the Xuzhou and Wuhan suppression generals and several appeasement sub-offices.  At a military seminar, Hu Congjun took Yang Tao and Commander Qin, who was reorganizing the Third Division, to participate on behalf of those reorganizing the 18th Army.

    At this meeting, all the participating generals lamented that it only took more than three years for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Since the war began, the Communist army has become bigger and stronger as it fights, while the Kuomintang, which originally had the upper hand, has  The army was trapped in a very passive situation.  On various battlefields across the country, entire brigades and entire regiments of the Kuomintang troops were eaten up by the Communists. Even one or two armies did not dare to act alone, completely losing the initiative. The dense wolf pack tactics of the Communists were really  It's frightening.  This is not the first time since the war began. Even the most elite troops of the national army cannot withstand such a siege.  In this battle of Suiqi, the situation was particularly obvious. Although the headquarters had already formed the District Shounian Corps at the beginning of the war, this small corps composed of two reorganized divisions was of no use and was still defeated.  The communist army was divided and besieged, and the entire army was almost annihilated, which could not help but frighten everyone.

    Faced with such a dilemma, a solution must be found, so large corps operations came into being.

    Combine two to three integrated armies or two small corps into a large corps with more than 100,000 combatants. Each large corps can form a separate and very powerful force that the Communist army cannot swallow and gnaw at.  Not moving, this is the biggest advantage of the large corps.  Using large corps operations that independently carry out strategic tasks, on the one hand, the CCP army will carry out focused offensive and focused defense, so as to achieve the purpose of advancing to attack and retreating to defend.

    This strategy of large-corps operations became the consensus of everyone after the discussion at this meeting, and it was quickly led by the Ministry of National Defense and began to be implemented immediately after the meeting.

    In fact, the formation of the corps was already in place two years ago, but the corps at that time was still relatively small, at most it was composed of two or three reorganized divisions.  Before the Battle of Menglianggu, the First Corps with Tang Enbo as its commander was formed. However, with the annihilation of the reorganized 74th Division, the First Corps also melted away.

    This military meeting also reached another change in the army, which is to restore the numbers of the armies and divisions before the reorganization. At the same time, the establishment of one army under three divisions and one division under three regiments during the Anti-Japanese War was officially restored, and the reorganization army and reorganization divisions were cancelled.  The title of division and reorganized brigade.  In fact, this work was completed a long time ago when the Eighteenth Army was reorganized, and the reorganized brigade under it had already been organized into three regiments.

    The strategy of forming large corps was quickly implemented. According to the above plan, the national army in several theaters across the country was organized into 17 corps. Since the two armies of Zheng Dongguo who were stationed in Changchun in the northeast were in March.  At that time, it had been organized into the First Corps, so this time the reorganization of the Corps started with the Second Corps.

    The Second Corps was formed on the basis of the reorganized Fifth Army by Qiu Yuqing, the main force in the Battle of Suiqi. At this time, the reorganized division was restored to its original army, which included the Fifth Army, the Twelfth Army, the Seventieth Army,  The 74th Army, the 100th Army, the newly formed 21st Brigade and the Independent Cavalry Brigade totaled 120,000 people. The commander was General Du Yuming, who had just recovered from a serious illness. Qiu Yuqing was appointed deputy commander.  .

    The Third Corps is the headquarters of the original Guangxi Clan. It was proposed by Bai Chongxi to form last year, so it remains unchanged.

    The Fourth Corps was formed in June at the suggestion of Chief Bai of the Wuhan Suppression Command. It had jurisdiction over three reorganized divisions: the 10th, 28th and 85th. In fact, it was just a reorganized army. At this time, according to the  The plan of the Ministry of National Defense is to merge the 4th Corps into the 12th Corps to form a larger corps.  The remaining Fourth Corps was planned to be formed by troops under the Baoding Sui Administration in North China.

    The Fifth Corps is composed of several troops under the jurisdiction of Hu Zongnan in the Guanzhong area near Xi'an; the Sixth Corps is mainly composed of the Yunnan Army near Jinzhou in the northeast.

    The 7th Corps was the corps temporarily formed by Huang Botao, who performed outstandingly in the Battle of Suiqi. At this time, it was expanded again and had jurisdiction over the 25th Army, the 63rd Army, the 64th Army, and  The 72nd Army consists of four armies and has the Third Rapid Column.

    The Eighth Corps and the Ninth Corps are both units located in the Northeast. The Tenth Corps was originally formed based on Yang Gancai's unit of the Sichuan Army. It was also proposed by Chief Bai of Wuhan in June, but it is a small corps.  , merged into the 14th Corps according to the plan, and the newly formed 10th Corps was mainly based on the Jin Army troops stationed in Taiyuan.

    The 11th Corps is the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou area of ??North China.

    The 12th Corps, this is the same as the 2nd Corpsp; In fact, Zhang Xian can also see that in their system that originally reorganized the Eighteenth Army, besides him, Yang Tao also guessed something. Now that the Eleventh Division has been reorganized into the Eighteenth Army, Yang Tao actually  The commander is already the commander of this army, but the commander of the 12th Corps has not confirmed it, so there is no one to sign the appointment letters of these army and division commanders. Although this is only a symbolic process, it is also indispensable.  of.

    Hu Congjun is still in Nanjing and has not returned. Perhaps he is receiving instructions from President Chiang at this time!  Although Zhang Xian thought about it like this, he still couldn't hide his anxiety. He really couldn't imagine that if the commander of the 12th Corps was not Hu Congjun, who could be worthy of such an important task?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
