Zhang Ruhao can only use the word "outstanding insight" to describe his new chief.

Others may not know, but Zhang Ruhao, who is a colonel of the Ministry of Military Affairs, knows it very well in his heart. The issue of the reorganization of the German mechanics will be officially launched next year, and the compilation table reached by the German advisory group and the Chinese high-level after several consultations has been changed several times, but it has been basically finalized, and if nothing else, it can be formally implemented as long as the bald boss and the German general adviser in China sign it.

He had taken the risk of revealing part of the plan about the regimental establishment, firstly to show goodwill to the entire independent regiment, and secondly, to test the reaction of these officers. This level of regimental firepower is already considered top-notch in China.

However, what he saw was neither surprised nor envied by anyone, and it seemed that this kind of equipment was commonplace for them.

Zhang Ruhao is obviously not stupid enough to think that a group of soldiers who defeated the Eighth Division are dirt buns, and they don't even understand the personnel firepower, and the only possibility is that they don't think that there is anything worthy of their envy in this firepower equipment.

But such an independent regiment is still reorganized after a big war, and it is difficult for Zhang Ruhao not to admire it.

But this is not the key, what surprised Zhang Ruhao was that Liu Lang's prediction was extremely accurate, and even the reason was accurate.

The establishment of the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment has always been the focus of controversy between the Chinese and German advisory groups, and the German advisory group insisted that it should be organized into one division and three regiments, and that in addition to the infantry, various auxiliary arms also occupy a very important position. However, the government really can't afford to equip the artillery and all kinds of mechanical equipment they demand, just all kinds of artillery, according to the 60 divisions of the establishment plan, the government will have to invest 160 million marks of huge financial resources, which is almost impossible for the current China. There is not so much money, but if you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of a German armament division, then the original establishment of the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment of the 1st Division has become an inevitable choice.

However, the surprise of the deputy of the new science and technology group was far more than that.

I only heard Liu Lang continue: "Then you may think, what I Liu Lang can think of, are those generals with generals hanging on the stars pig's heads?" They wouldn't have thought of it? No, those who can become generals may have pig's heads, but definitely not all of them are pig's heads. ”

"Poof" Ji Yanxue couldn't help laughing.

"Haha" The officers also laughed loudly. Zhang Ruhao also had a wry smile on his face.

For some generals in the army who have no skills but rely on money and background to sit in high positions, the officers and soldiers at the bottom have long hated them. I have to say that Langtuan's description of the high-ranking officials at this time is very appropriate. There are a lot of pig heads, but not all of them are pig heads, and there are still a few sober heads.

"If you want to plug this loophole, it's easy to do, and get two supplementary regiments, that is, regiments with old equipment that have been replaced, and when the front-line troops can't withstand it, they will be on top." Liu Lang sneered, "It's not bad for them to think like this, but what's the use of just two supplementary regiments when even the elites on the front line with sophisticated German-style equipment can't withstand the enemy?" ”

"So, sir, how big is the gap between this German division and the real German infantry division?" Asked Forward.

"Good question, then let's take a look at the strength of the real German infantry division, the German infantry division is a typical triangle division, that is, the establishment of one division and three regiments, let's not look at the establishment of the infantry regiment, first talk about the combat units directly under the division headquarters: one division command company, one motorized cartographic platoon, one artillery regiment, one reconnaissance battalion, one cavalry company, one bicycle company, one motorized support company, one engineer battalion, one communications battalion, one health battalion, one quartermaster and one supply department, one recruit battalion, That is, it is equivalent to a supplementary regiment in our national army, a veterinary company, and a motorized gendarmerie company. Just looking at these fully functional units directly under the division headquarters and their equipment, they can almost match an ordinary infantry regiment, and their combat effectiveness is even stronger.

Together with the three infantry regiments, the German infantry divisions totaled 16,860 people. Let's look at their equipment, 3,681 pistols, 12,609 rifles, 321 submachine guns, 90 anti-tank guns, 425 light machine guns, 110 heavy machine guns, 84 50-mm mortars, 54 81-mm mortars, 20 75-mm guns, 36 105-mm light howitzers, 12 150-mm heavy howitzers, 9 flamethrowers, 2 armored vehicles, 530 motorcycles, 394 cars, 536 horse-drawn carriages, and 500 bicycles. ”

Liu Lang finished speaking in one breath of his clear memory of the German army's reorganized infantry division in 1933, and looked at his stunned subordinates, "Now, I don't need to go into detail about the establishment of our army, you also know where the gap between us and the German infantry division is!" Come, forward, since you asked, then tell me what you think at the moment. Liu Lang nodded.

"Yes, sir." Standing forward, his face was solemn, and he said: "The light and heavy machine guns and artillery vehicles equipped by the German army are really beyond the reach of our army, leaving aside the personnel and equipment, just talking about this command system, the German army is a division-regiment-battalion-company-platoon-squad 6-level command level. The "square" division of China's future German armament division is: division-brigade-regiment-battalion-company-platoon-squad 7-level command level. The more levels of command, the more cumbersome it will be for the troops to upload and issue orders, and the slower the speed of the troops' response. ”

"Hehe, what I said forward is very right, there is a big gap between us in equipment, and that is because of the problem of national strength, but the command system is not as good as people, but it is my own problem. There is another advantage of the triangle division, you haven't mentioned yet, when attacking, an infantry regiment is the main attack, an infantry regiment assists, the commander can still leave a regiment as a reserve, when defending, a regiment is located in the front, two regiments are located on the flanks, and the three regiments can still echo each other, and the triangle is the most stable structure. Liu Lang drew three more circles on the tactical board in a triangular arrangement.

"What about the Japanese Invaders? Compared with the Japanese invaders, what is the gap between the regiment and the division of our army? Zhang Ruhao couldn't help but interject.

Liu Lang took a deep look at his new partner, and said: "I don't want to talk about the Japanese squadron-level light weapons, I personally think that the gap is not obvious at the squad platoon company level, just talking about heavy firepower, the Japanese army is a division regiment, and the artillery wing under its jurisdiction is equipped with 36 75 mountain guns and 12 75 field guns, this alone, the heavy firepower is far above the new division in the future, if it is equipped with an independent heavy artillery wing equipped with 24 150MM heavy howitzers in wartime, our army can not match it in heavy firepower." ”

Looking at the silent subordinates again, Liu Lang's face was solemn, and he said: "Indeed, limited by national strength, our army's equipment cannot match these powerful countries, and even have to choose a poor army establishment for this reason, but there is one thing I hope you will remember that no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, it is always people who operate them." The key to victory is always people, not weapons. Do you understand? ”

"Got it." The officers stood up in unison and replied solemnly.

Yes, at this moment, they somewhat understood the significance of Liu Lang's sudden rise to teach them this lesson today.

Although the establishment of the armed forces and the training and equipment of military personnel are important, they are by no means the key to determining the victory of the war, and the most important thing is to have a strong will and to have officers and men who are full of desire for victory.

Some of their previous performances were too eager for quick success.

"Very good, what I said to Deputy Zhang Tuan today, you can all go back and think about it, and I will also consider the suggestions you made today, now, adjourn the meeting." Liu Lang waved his hand and said.

Looking at the distant backs of his subordinates, Liu Lang stood alone at the window of the conference room and fell into deep thought.
