Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shortly after the Battle of the Mozambique Channel, Qi Yiming was invited to the Military Commission to attend a high-level meeting of the military.  Normally Qi Yiming would not attend such a meeting. He also has some taboos about appearing in front of others too often and is used to living behind the scenes. However, this meeting is of great importance and is directly related to the direction of the future war. He must  participate.

    Qi Yiming roughly knew the content of the meeting before attending the meeting. Even with his bold temperament, he felt confused looking at the content of the materials in his hand because the changes this time were so huge.

    "Now, we will have a focused discussion on the issue of expanding our army to eighty group armies. All comrades are invited to speak freely and actively express their opinions. Let us work together to build a stronger people's army and win this battle that affects the country and the nation.  A key battle for the future and future,¡± Chief No. 1 expressed while presiding over the meeting.

    Although all the big guys here have some knowledge of this matter, when this matter was actually brought up, everyone was still shocked and even confused.  During the major disarmament more than ten years ago, the Military Commission controlled the size of the Army to about 200,000, and organized a total of 2 group armies in seven military regions as the main combat force of the Army.  Obviously at this time, China is facing a world-class war, and the 200,000-strong army is obviously not enough to meet the needs of the war.

    In the foreseeable future, China's army will participate in battlefields in South Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the Asia-Pacific and other regions. It should not be surprising at all to put millions of people on each battlefield. This will make China need a large number of troops.  Support yourself to finish this world war.

    But no matter what, the expansion from 2 group armies to 8 group armies is really incredible.  Even a guy like Qi Yiming found the plan to build eighty army groups extremely difficult and complicated.

    The Minister of Defense said: "The United States and some European countries have begun full-scale war mobilization. We cannot accurately estimate the size of the army that NATO will eventually form, but there should be no problem between five and six million. And we only  We can build a stronger and larger force to form an overwhelming advantage. The active force, combined with the reserve force we have cultivated over the years, can temporarily form a force of about 300,000, and we plan to train another 60,000 within one year.  Qualified soldiers go to the battlefield, but this is still a long way from our plan to form eighty army groups."

    Qi Yiming said at this time: "Well, what you mean is that you want our Strategic Bureau to use part of its strength to make up for the share of the eighty group armies, right?"

    Qi Yiming had earlier reported to the superiors the "fact" that he had eight million troops. Although the senior officials were not afraid of this, they were also trying their best to think of ways to better utilize this force and fight the war well.  According to the current organization method of group armies, basically each group army has about 100,000 troops. Eighty group armies will create a field strength of 8 million. In addition to the 5 million soldiers that the military plans to organize, Qi Yi  Ming should also provide about 300,000 troops and form at least three armies to participate in the war.

    Qi Yiming's Red Police Corps does not require training. Their personal combat qualities and unit's tactical capabilities are much better than those of newly recruited rookies. They are the most usable military personnel and have won the trust of the military over the years.  Of course, there is another reason that cannot be said, that is, these red police forces can afford it.

    Historically, the PLA once built seventy armies. After liberation, most of them were dismantled and reformed, gradually becoming the current scale.  In this shocking war plan, the military intends to not only restore the seventy group armies previously formed, but also add ten more.  Each group army will have a combat force of at least three mechanized divisions, supplemented by some independent combat units affiliated to the group army. All units that were originally converted from divisions to brigades under the military headquarters will be reorganized and expanded into divisions. The brigade-level units will serve as subordinate units of the group army headquarters.  .

    It is worth mentioning that these eighty armies include the airborne troops already affiliated with the Air Force and the Marine Corps affiliated with the Navy.  The current 15th Army of the Airborne Army was originally the 15th Army of the Army. The Military Commission intends to rearrange the numbers of the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army in the Airborne Army lineup to create a larger-scale airborne force.  The Marine Corps was directly assigned to six group armies. From the 55th Group Army to the 6th Group Army, they will all be Marine Corps Army.  (Historically, the 3rd, 57th and 59th Group Armies have never been formed)

    The Marine Corps will also be upgraded from a main brigade-level combat unit to a division-level combat unit to adapt to the current war.

    Qi Yiming has no objection to the military recruiting its own three million Red Police Corps, even if the command of these three armies will be completely separated from his hands.  On the one hand, he still has more Red Police Corps at his disposal, on the other hand, this is a national war, and he does not have the excessive desire for power or the pettiness of big shots to squander.

    Hearing Qi Yiming¡¯s agreement, several military leaders were relieved. Although they knew that Qi Yiming had always understood the righteousness, they had no idea what Qi Yiming would choose.Everyone was still a little uneasy, and they were also mentally prepared for Qi Yiming's desire to retain some control over the Red Police Corps.

    The Chief of General Staff said: "We have urgently recalled the first batch of high-readiness reserve troops and reorganized several group armies that were previously disbanded. Now we have 19 group armies that can go to the battlefield at any time, and the remaining group army units are still being formed.  Among them, it is expected to be divided into three batches to complete the training.¡±

    The military has now completed the reconstruction of 19 group armies: 2, 6, 6, 16, 3, 40, 2, 2, 54, I2, -I2I47, LB14, and 4I group armies, plus the one that is going to be renamed the second group army.  Blue Army Group.  The above 19 group armies have completed preliminary adjustments and equipment installation, and will be the 19 most effective group armies in the military in addition to the Red Police Force in the coming period.

    Qi Yiming selected the red police units of three group armies and organized them into the military's newly established pLA battle order. These troops canceled the designations of the red police corps previously established by Qi Yiming and officially hung up the pLAR spoon.  Army group number.  These thirty group armies are basically basic troops without stars. Qi Yiming himself has only five group army-sized star troops, and the highest star rating is only four stars.  Qi Yiming organized the five-star division-level unit of the -10th Division, which had participated in many important battles, into the new 10th Group Army. This red police group army was also the strongest group army provided by Qi Yiming and was a three-star army.  Level group army is probably the most combat-effective unit among the eighty group armies.  There are also two one-star armies, the 18th Army and the 19th Army.

    The military has not yet brought out all of Qi Yiming's three million red police troops this time. After all, feeding three million mouths is not an easy task for a while.  Only five group armies were directly transferred to the General Staff, including three star-rated group armies. They were in a state of combat readiness and had not yet been directly sent to the battlefield. They were in a second-line preparation state.

    In fact, Qi Yiming not only had these thirty group armies involved in the early stages of this war, but he also organized a number of brigade-level red police units, including mechanized rapid reaction units, airborne units,  Mecha units, air defense units, etc., these brigade-level red police units are still under the direct command of the Strategic Bureau. At this time, there are two brigades of red police units participating in the war in South Asia. As the war expands, there will be more  Many red police brigades were involved.

    There wasn¡¯t much content in the meeting, it was mainly about the formation of eighty group armies and then assigning numbers.  Next, the Military Commission had other meetings. Regarding the issue of pL's continued march into the South Asian subcontinent, Qi Yiming did not want to directly participate in the discussion, so he avoided the meeting and left.

    After the victory in the Mozambique Strait Battle, it provided more time for China to continue operating the Indian Ocean Theater. The military also hopes to seize this opportunity and defeat India in one fell swoop.  This time Qi Yiming was called to talk about the issue of forming more group armies, which was essentially to provide more troops to enter South Asia and solve India once and for all.

    The Chief of General Staff mentioned: "After all, India is a big country with a population of one billion. Although its military strength and comprehensive national strength are relatively limited, to occupy and control this region, even if we involve Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, Our own deployment of one million people is not much at all. We plan to dispatch one front on each front, totaling 600,000 people, plus about 200,000 people from Pakistan and 200,000 people from Myanmar and Bangladesh. , will attack India. The terrain in India is flat. Although there are dense rivers and puddles, our mechanized equipment is designed with wading capabilities based on the characteristics of the dense river network in southern my country. It can be used on the Ganges Plain and the Deyu Plateau. The advance speed should be quite fast. We will not talk about destroying India within three months, but as long as there is an opportunity, we will rush forward and crush any large-scale resistance in India into powder. "

    Chief No. 1 nodded and asked: "Have you considered the possible consequences of our direct attack on the hinterland of India, such as the Indians rising up and harassing us with a continuous guerrilla war, making it difficult to stabilize our control of the South Asian subcontinent?  "

    The Chief of General Staff said: "Although the Indians have a weak spirit of resistance and are relatively gentle and cowardly, we are all prepared for the worst. Although guerrilla warfare is indeed difficult, times have changed. In our systematic war model  Under this situation, even if there are any guerrillas in India, they will be found and eliminated by us. We also plan to naturalize some of the Indian puppet troops and win over some forces willing to cooperate with us. Of course, we will also provoke their complicated ethnic relations and completely dismember India.  Good choice."
