The two plans submitted by the Hetao base area were approved by all members at the meeting of the board of directors and committees, which made Li Ming finally breathe a sigh of relief. At present, almost none of the plans and budgets submitted by various departments can be successfully passed, and a group of members of the board committee have changed the style of local tyrants in the past, and now they are like a group of small businessmen and hawkers.

He said hello to Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others, and after leaving the Military Commission, he contacted the Ministry of the Air Force and asked them to send an airship, and then returned to Guihua City by airship.

Everyone saw Li Ming rushing back to the Hetao base and gathered in Li Ming's office. When they learned that both plans had been approved, everyone was very excited.

Li Ming smiled at everyone and said, "Don't be too happy, although these two plans have been approved, we will be busy next." The matter of forming the Northwest Field Army, Gao Qiang, you and Yaowu have to worry more, now everyone knows the situation of the company, all departments are living with their belts, and we basically do not get the strong support of the company. Although we have put forward a five-year plan for the formation of the Northwest Field Army, there are still many difficulties in the initial stage of the reorganization of the troops, and everyone must make good ideological preparations.

There is also a plan to attack Ningxia Town, which must immediately enter the preparatory stage of the campaign, and as for the time of the attack, I think it is best to wait for the autumn harvest in the Ningxia Plain to launch an attack, after all, we can get an extra batch of grain. Therefore, it is best to take advantage of this period of time to put up the shelves of the Northwest Field Army and strive to complete the initial work of forming the Northwest Field Army before launching the Ningxia Campaign. In addition, the building of militia reserves and other paramilitary units should also be grasped, and all grassroots militia companies should be formed in the shortest possible time. ”

The meeting lasted for a day, and Li Ming made a unified deployment for the next work. The first is the disbandment of the headquarters of the North Group Army. The Northwest Field Army Command was formed, and then intense troop reorganization work began.

The Northwest Field Army, which is about to be formed, will be attached to a field group army, a cavalry assault group army, a reserve cavalry group army, and a large number of combat and logistical support units directly under the field army.

The cavalry assault army will be formed from all the Mongol legions and part of the Outer Northeast Aboriginal Corps. In addition, a group of young and strong people who are skilled in equestrianism were selected from the Han people in the Hetao area and the Han slaves in the Monan grassland, and a group of main cavalry divisions were formed separately.

After the formation, the cavalry assault group army had six main Mongolian cavalry divisions, four main cavalry divisions in the outer northeast, and two main Han cavalry divisions. In addition, the group army headquarters will also deploy a number of combat and logistical support units directly under it. The total number of troops is more than 150,000.

In the future, the cavalry assault regiment will be extremely strong in terms of battlefield breakthrough capability and mobility, and the combat will focus on long-distance running, large-scale interspersed detours, large-depth attacks, frontal breakthroughs, and pursuits, so as to divide, encircle, and annihilate the enemy.

The field group army will be the most important task of the Northwest Field Army and will also be the key force in the construction of the Northwest Field Army this time, and a field brigade will be transferred from the Central Military Commission as the backbone for formation, which is equivalent to starting from scratch to build a main field force. All kinds of technical arms were drawn from Liaodong, Nanyang, and other places.

Field army group after formation. It will be attached to an integrated field division with three brigades and nine regiments, two light field divisions with two brigades and six regiments, two cavalry divisions, an artillery brigade, and an aviation squadron composed of delta-wing aircraft, as well as a large number of combat and logistical support detachments directly under the group army.

The field army will be organized according to the standards of a modern army, and will be a combined field assault force of all arms of the Central Military Commission with the largest number of technical arms, the strongest firepower allocation, and the highest degree of synthesis. Moreover, it is also an all-cavalry unit, but except for the cavalry divisions, all field divisions belong to the category of mounted infantry, and their mobility is also very strong.

The arms of the entire field army. It covers infantry, cavalry, artillery, communication troops, logistics troops, engineers, medical troops, maintenance troops, scouts, aviation and other arms. When attacking, at the decisive time and direction. Quickly and covertly concentrate superior forces, firepower, and technical equipment, and establish evacuation, depth, and three-dimensional deployments. It can carry out all-weather deployment and operations in almost all complex environments, such as attacking, defending, street fighting, jungle warfare, mountain warfare, and even landing operations.

The reserve cavalry group army was formed from dozens of Mongolian cavalry brigades under the former Mongolian Legion as the backbone, and its basic establishment remained unchanged, and it was mainly composed of Mongolian militia. Assist the two main army groups in the future battlefield. It is an important supplement to the main forces of the Northwest Field Army.

In addition to the three group armies, the Northwest Field Army was also equipped with units directly under the powerful field army headquarters. Including a heavy artillery brigade, a rocket artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, a reconnaissance brigade, a special operations squadron, a communications regiment, a gendarmerie guard regiment.

In addition, it will be attached to an independent logistics subdivision, which will mainly provide logistical support for the Northwest Field Army in the future. In order to strengthen the strength of the Northwest Field Army, the Air Force Department also established the Northwest Air Force Command in Hetao, and in the future two independent airship wings will be organized. Two delta-wing aircraft brigades.

The Northwest Field Army, which has been organized, will be the armed military group with the largest number of troops and the largest scale in the Far East Company. Compared with the Northeast Field Army, which will also be formed later, it is much stronger in terms of combat effectiveness and the number of soldiers.

The Northwest Field Army is not only the main force of the company's northward and westward strategy, but also the main assault force of the company in the Central Plains when the Far East Company enters the Central Plains in the future.

After more than 10 days of busyness, the reorganization plan of the Northwest Field Army was finally released, and the troops began to be tense and busy. The structure of the newly formed units is very complete. However, they are still in a state of shortage.

Moreover, the various equipment and ammunition needed for the formation of the Northwest Field Army are also facing a large-scale shortage. It will be gradually replenished over a long period of five years. Even the quilts and equipment of the Far Eastern Army need to be slowly completed within three years. Now the only thing that may be lacking is war horses, but only the horse harness captured from the Monan steppe tribes, the standard horse harness and cavalry knife of the Far Eastern Army can be used, and it will also take a long wait.

However, the infantry training team, cavalry training team, and artillery training team of the Northwest Field Army, as well as the training teams of various technical arms, as well as the Northwest Branch of the Army Command College and the Northwest Branch of the Noncommissioned Officer College of the Far Eastern Military Commission, have all begun to make preparations. In the future, this military camp on the bank of the Yellow River in Guihua City will also become the cradle of non-commissioned officers and officers of the Northwest Field Army.

After the establishment of the Northwest Field Army at all levels is completed, the field army headquarters will also set up militia and reserve commands. In the future, a complete militia reserve system will be built in the Hetao area, grassroots musket militia companies will be formed, and all Mongolian nomadic detachments in the Monan steppe will be managed. In addition, the militia reserve headquarters of the Northwest Field Army will also manage the guerrilla detachments in several base areas within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
