Chapter 112
The Red Alert Forces in the Northeast currently only include the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Fifteenth Army.
There is also Zhang Zizhong's Twenty
-ninth Army. Song Zheyuan's Thirty-fifth Army.
The Northeast Army was reorganized into the Forty-first and Forty-seventh Army.
The total strength is as high as 900,000.
The Third Army is stationed in the Heilongjiang region.
Their main goal is to guard against the Far East Front of the Russian Bear.
The Fifteenth Army entered the pass to fight and was responsible for stationing in the entire North China region.
There must also be an army with strong combat effectiveness inside the pass to keep the place in check.
Although the Twenty-ninth Army and the Forty-first Army were incorporated into the sequence of the field army, they were only formed for three or four months after all.
The current equipment of the troops is still semi-motorized.
In other words, they are not equipped with a weapon system based on a multi-functional wheeled infantry fighting vehicle platform.
Because it takes a certain amount of knowledge to play with these weapons.
Now these armies are still undergoing literacy.
It will take a few months to change their equipment.
Therefore, these armies have basically not yet formed combat effectiveness and are difficult to take on major tasks.
Even if they are sent to the battlefield, the casualties will probably be considerable. Just let them fight and assist.
After all, the battlefield is the fastest way for a unit to grow.
There are now three armies in the interior of the country, the 15th, 41st, and 47th.
Jiang Fan is going to transfer the 35th and 41st armies, a total of 200,000 troops, to fight in North Korea to assist the 4th Army.
In this way, there will be more than 300,000 troops on the front line of the Korean Peninsula, which is not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of manpower.
And the Northeast needs to continue to suppress bandits.
At least one army group is needed in the five provinces.
So the 47th Army Group can't leave.
Moreover, the 47th Army Group was reorganized on the basis of the Northeast Army, and they are more familiar with the environment of the Northeast.
What's more, landing in Incheon will inevitably be met with a fierce counterattack from the Japanese army. It will even be blocked by the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet.
The combat effectiveness of this unit must be strong enough.
Therefore, it is urgent to form a new army group.
With the current Red Alert base.
With the operation of dozens of barracks, about 12,000 soldiers can be recruited every day.
To form an army, the total force is about 150,000.
It can be formed in half a month at the latest.
And it takes time to prepare for landing operations.
Just in time.
In addition, Jiang Fan decided to build two more naval bases.
Produce more ships to support landing operations.
For example, ACV-style large air-cushion landing craft.
Basically, one can be directly produced in five days.
And a base can produce 16 at a time.
Jiang Fan is not afraid of too many of this large air-cushion landing craft.
The excess ones are sealed up, anyway, it is very cheap.
Tens of thousands of funds can produce one.
If one or two hundred are produced, a large number of troops can be carried to land on the beach.
In addition, the scale of the Army Aviation Force also needs to be expanded.
Now the largest organization of the Army Aviation Force is only at the brigade level.
After many adjustments, the organization of the Air Assault Brigade has finally been determined.
It is under the jurisdiction of two air assault infantry battalions and two transport helicopter battalions.
A total of 124 Nighthawk helicopters are equipped.
There are currently three air assault brigades of this size.
That is, 372 Nighthawk helicopters.
Even if half-loaded, more than 2,000 people can be deployed at a time.
It is enough to clear the landing site for the airborne troops.
While waiting.
Jiang Fan also personally met with Jiang Guangding and Cai Yankai, two anti-Japanese heroes.
During the Songhu Incident, if it were not for their 19th Route Army.
I am afraid that Shanghai would have become a Japanese-occupied area.
Jiang Fan still admires such people.
Then he discussed the issue of the 19th Army.
After discussion by the Military and Political Committee.
The 19th Army also follows the standard 6+1 model.
That is, six infantry divisions plus one artillery division. They are the 53rd, 54th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, and 64th divisions plus the 11th Heavy Artillery Division.
They will be reorganized in Fuzhou.
During this period, part of the 10th Army will be responsible for garrisoning Fujian.
However, one of Jiang Guangding and Cai Yankai must be in politics.
This is also a default rule and an unspoken rule.
In the end, Jiang Guangding chose to go into politics and gave the post of commander of the 19th Army Group to Cai Yankai.
Jiang Guangding served as the governor of Fujian Province.
Half a month passed quietly.
The new army group has also been formed during this period.
That is the 9th Army Group.
It has the 65th, 66th, 67th, 68th, 69th, and 70th mechanized infantry divisions and the 12th heavy artillery division, which is also a fully mechanized unit.
At present, this unit is gathering and waiting in Dalian and Lushun Port.
In addition, there are the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions.
The 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions of the Air Force are also ready.
In the past few days, at least 20 reconnaissance aircraft have been dispatched every day to conduct close investigations on the Seoul area.
Combined with Eva's intelligence, the situation in the entire Seoul has basically been figured out.
The 4th Army Group on the northern front of the peninsula put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Under the joint air-ground operations, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.
On average, the casualties were more than 3,000 people per day.
So now there is only one Japanese division in the southern part of Korea.
And it is a newly formed Type B division.
Only one brigade of troops is stationed in Seoul.[]
The other troops are distributed in major cities in the south.
For example, Busan, Gwangju and other places.
The Japanese know the power of the Red Alert Corps' airborne troops.
They have suffered losses from this.
Therefore, at least one regiment of troops is stationed in major cities.
Besides, they don't think the Red Alert Corps has the courage to airdrop to the southern region.
This is far away from their land.���Blocked by the sea and unable to reach by land, the airborne troops became an isolated force without support.
As for landing? That's even more impossible. Do you really think their combined fleet is vegetarian?
It is precisely for this reason that the Japanese army did not leave too many troops in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
A division of more than 20,000 people is enough.
What's more, there are tens of thousands of Korean traitors.
September 27, 1933.
The Korean Peninsula was sunny and windy on this day.
This was also the landing time chosen according to meteorological intelligence.
In order to cooperate with the operations in the rear.
The Fourth Army, the 41st, and the 35th Army in the northern part of Korea launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army's Yangping-Wonsan defense line.
Faced with the attack of more than 300,000 troops, the Japanese army's dozen divisions also felt great pressure.
Once Seoul was attacked, the Japanese army had two choices.
One is to abandon the Yangping-Wonsan defense line and go south to rescue.
The other is to hold on and ignore Seoul.
However, no matter which of these two choices, it is basically a death word.
In the face of absolute strength, these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops could not escape.
Incheon is just an inconspicuous port city.
This port is usually used to transport materials, minerals, food, etc. looted from the Chaoshan Peninsula.
Moreover, the tidal hydrology here is very complicated, and the water level will only rise in a short period of one or two months.
Therefore, the Japanese army did not station many troops here for defense.
The entire Incheon has only one squadron of troops plus more than 2,000 traitors.
After all, it is in the rear, and there is no need to worry about being attacked.
The front-line troops are insufficient, so how could they waste troops in such a place.
And at sea about 30 kilometers away from Incheon.
A large group of helicopters is flying over the sea.
This helicopter group is composed of Nighthawk transport helicopters.
A total of 3 large groups are formed in the air.
Each group has 124 helicopters.
Each is loaded with 6 fully armed air assault infantry.
Although each helicopter is loaded with troops.
But the number of helicopters is enough.
This raid is a one-way ticket for these Nighthawk helicopters.
After they went there, unless the fuel was transported, the helicopters were basically grounded.
But it didn't matter.
The Nighthawk helicopters were not worth much anyway.
The Red Alert Base only needed two or three thousand dollars to produce one.
"Boom boom boom......."
The landing site chosen by the assault force this time is a small town called Sixing, a few kilometers away from Incheon Port (good money).
Although it is a town, the population is just over a thousand.
It is located in the alluvial plain area, with very flat terrain and continuous farmland on the ground.
Now all these farmlands have been harvested.
This is also the landing site they chose.
There are still some Korean farmers taking care of these fields.
After hearing the movement from the sky, they all looked up. What they saw were all the Nighthawk transport helicopters that came in overwhelming numbers.
The helicopter group flew at a low altitude of less than 100 meters in the air.
It also avoided the sight of the Japanese army.
So far, they have not even found the helicopter group.
But even if they found it, it doesn't matter, because it's late now.
The helicopter group passed over the heads of these Korean farmers in their stunned eyes.
Then it landed directly in front of them.
When the helicopter landed steadily, a fully armed soldier jumped down from it.
They looked coldly at the stunned farmers.
One of the officers said in the newly learned Korean language:"Leave here (??????)"
More than 300 helicopters landed here, occupying a large area of flat land.
Naturally, this place attracted attention.
