Chapter 1482 Downsizing?
Zhong Yi sighed and said, "Master, if you have something to say, just say it."
Yu Liangzhen felt a little fever on his face, but gritted his teeth and said, "Zi Ren, if you are asked to bear all the reconstruction costs of the 41st Army, let alone you, even Yu Liangzhen himself doesn't have this face. However, the losses of the 41st Army this time are really heavy. Let's not talk about it, but the lost weapons and equipment is really difficult to replenish. So, can you help order six divisions of American equipment from the United States?"
Zhong Yi was silent and said that he would help order, but in fact he was asking him to pay for it?
After a while, Zhong Yi said helplessly: "The equipment of the three American equipment masters cannot be more."
"Okay, then there are three teachers!" Yu Liangzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and slapped his thigh and said, "Zi Ren, I accept your love!"
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Master, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Yu Liangzhen said: "What's the relationship between you and my brother? Just say it just by saying anything."
Zhong Yi said: "The Yinjiang Arsenal will be processed soon after the third batch of 21 divisions of the US equipment. Why doesn't the chief executive directly detain nine divisions? In this way, the equipment of the 41st Group Army will be solved?"
After pausing, Zhong Yi continued: "Besides, the weapons and equipment damaged by our 41st Army are only slightly damaged in performance. It can still be used after repair. It is enough to send it to other war zones."
"Well, this matter is quite complicated." Yu Liangzhen said awkwardly, "Zi Ren, you understand."
Zhong Yi nodded and said nothing more. Of course he understood that it was nothing more than faction and mountaintops.
Zhong Yi ordered a total of 40 divisions from the United States, and the first batch of 10 divisions were directly given to the 10th Army. The second batch of 9 divisions was transported before the Battle of Yiwu, and it was given to Lin Wei's 41st Army at that time. Now it has been consumed almost the same amount. As for the third batch of 21 divisions, the equipment of the American equipment of Chen Shi, Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and other military leaders have long been divided up in advance.
Now every time Yu Liangzhen deducts equipment from the division, it is equivalent to snatching food from Chen Shi and the others.
Even though Yu Liangzhen is the direct descendant of Principal Chang, he cannot afford to have the fire from other military leaders.
Because Principal Chang has always played a balance, making a family dominant is never the style of Principal Chang.
...
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Principal Chang is even considering the reduction of the 41st Army.
After listening to Zhang Zhizhong's report, Principal Chang asked quietly: "Not to mention the personnel losses of the 41st Army, have the equipment actually been lost so much?"
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong said, "Because it was at night and the battlefield was too chaotic, the frequency of melee battles was extremely high. Since it was melee and melee, the damage rate of weapons and equipment was extremely high!"
Principal Chang nodded and said, "How much equipment can you leave after the repair?"
Zhang Zhizhong thought for a while and replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, the weapons and equipment that can be repaired can only be equipped with six divisions at most."
"Only the equipment of the sixth division is left." Principal Chang nodded and continued, "That is, there are three divisions left. Either they can only use their original equipment or go to the battlefield empty-handed?"
Zhang Zhizhong said: "It turns out that the eliminated equipment has been sent to the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back."
Principal Chang said: "The original equipment cannot be brought back, and the new equipment cannot be replenished, so there is nothing we can do. I'm afraid that the 41st Army will be reduced."
"It just so happened that the casualties of the 41st Army were extremely heavy this time."
"Even if the remaining soldiers are added to his injuries, it will be very difficult to fill up the six divisions."
"Then just like that, will the 41st Army be reduced to the Sixth Division, and the three additional division commanders..."
After pondering for a moment, Principal Chang turned his head to Zhang Zhizhong and said, "Wen Bai, go check which war zone and which army has a military commander, let Zhu Liangcheng, Sun Liren and Zhou Mengxiong be the commander."
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong's head was shaking, thinking that the principal had finally attacked the 41st Army.
The 41st Army, predecessor, was the ten garrison brigades pulled up by Zhong Yi during the Battle of Wuhan.
Since the day this army was formed, it has been a thorn in Principal Chang's heart, and he always wants to pull it out quickly.
Originally, after Luo Zhengying was replaced by Luo Zhengying as commander-in-chief of the 41st Army and transferred the 41st Army to the Ninth War Zone, this problem seemed to have been solved.
But from today's perspective, this problem has not been solved at all.
Because Lin Wei reported that he could not command the nine divisions of the 41st Army, but with Zhong Yi's order, these nine divisions would immediately take action!
In other words, the 41st Army has never been out of Zhong Yi's control.
No matter who is the commander-in-chief, no matter which war zone the group army is transferred to, it will be useless. As long as Zhong Yi comes in with one order, the army will immediately follow Zhong Yi!
This reminded Principal Chang of the Huangpu Student Army back then.
The same was true for the Huangpu student army back then. No matter who was the division commander, the commander or the commander-in-chief, no matter where he was, as long as someone often gave the order, these student army would immediately come and surrender.
Therefore, there is really only one way to deal with the 41st Army.
This method is to reduce the size from 9 divisions to 6 divisions!
In fact, if possible, Principal Chang even wanted to reduce the 10th Army into 6 divisions.
Because of the lessons of the 41st Army, President Chang had reason to believe that the 10th Army was also very likely to become the second 41st Army!
However, it is obviously impossible to reduce the 10th Army at present.
Because there was no proper reason, the 41st Army suffered heavy casualties this time, with only less than 20,000 people left. It is completely reasonable to reduce the formation into six divisions, but the 10th Army suffered little losses, and there are still 70,000 or 80,000 troops in total, so it is unreasonable to directly reduce the formation into six divisions.
Even if Principal Chang is not too ugly to eat.
Principal Chang not only could not reduce the 10th Army, but also had to consider the rebound of senior generals in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone! Especially Yu Liangzhen, he would definitely resist in every way, so he had to think of a proper solution.
This solution is to add troops to the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and add a group army!
So Principal Chang asked Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi to bring the building table. After looking through the building table for a long time, Principal Chang really found a suitable army, the 19th Army!
Yes, let the 19th Army go to the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone!
Luo Zhengying, commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, is also considered the old commander of Zhong Yi, and has a good relationship with Yu Liangzhen and Zhong Yi.
Secondly, the 19th Army is also the main force of the Ninth War Zone, with four armies and 10 divisions under its jurisdiction, and all its forces exceed 100,000.
