The 59th Army attacked Beijing and Tianjin, conquered Chahar, and captured Suiyuan, which was also a great achievement, and Zhang Zizhong became the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army.

In this adjustment, the 38th Division and the 180th Division were also listed as motorized infantry divisions. At the same time, a temporary 159th Division was added, which was also a motorized establishment.

The original famous 29th Army was later expanded into the 59th Army, the 77th Army, and the 68th Army. This time they all threw themselves into the arms of the vanguard.

But because Liu Ruming of the 68th Army was already under Sun Lianzhong's subordinates, and it was complicated, when Zhang Zizhong was circling around in Tianjin, everyone misunderstood him and caused some unpleasantness, and later Song Zheyuan came forward to explain to eliminate everyone's misunderstanding. Therefore, Meng Xiang only transferred Cao Fulin's 55th Army and incorporated it into the 33rd Group Army. Meng Xiang also felt a little regretful, but the idea of rebuilding the 29th Army in his heart has not been extinguished.

However, according to what Tang Yaoshi said, when these people have not yet been contained, directly putting the 29th Army together and forming a group of the Northwest Army will only erect a big mountain. Song Zheyuan and Feng Yuxiang are still alive, and such a 29th Army is somewhat unfavorable to the vanguard army. Downplaying the influence of the region and adding more national consciousness is what the vanguard has always advocated.

Meng Xiang was silent, and he completed the adjustment first.

Cao Fulin's 55th Army had 29 divisions under its jurisdiction. It turned out that he was still in charge of the 74th Division, because of the entry of the Vanguard Army into Shandong, Cao Fulin leaned on Lao Jiang's side early, but the 74th Division was intercepted by the Pioneer Army.

Although Cao Fulin's team has not developed much, it is difficult for others to infiltrate it. However, it is not difficult to deal with the vanguard army, most of his team are North Chinese, and at this time, the war zone implements a subsistence allowance, and he can't stop him from taking refuge here, otherwise his subordinates will have to run clean.

After coming over, Meng Xiang added the establishment of the new 50th Division and the temporary 155th Division to him. The entire 55th Army was also an ordinary infantry formation.

After Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army came over, he also joined the 33rd Group Army.

Feng Zhi'an was also a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, and his 77th Army had 37 divisions, 132 divisions, and 179 divisions.

The commander of the 37th Division was the one who decisively gave the order and fired the first shot at the Lugou Bridge. This nephew of Ji Hongchang later unfortunately died in the artillery battle in Kinmen.

Meng Xiang heard about his deeds and had the heart to cultivate, but because the 77th Army was newly returned, it was still an ordinary infantry division.

At the beginning, Meng Xiang also made it very clear that because the northwest region where Fu Zuoyi fought was vast, and there was no motorized march, it was impossible to ensure logistics and combat effectiveness, so a motorized division was proposed, and the other newly attached armies were promoted according to a reasonable combat merit mechanism.

In the military-industrial mechanism of the vanguard army, there are not only individual meritorious records, but also collective meritorious records. If you don't achieve a certain amount of merit, it's impossible to get a chance to get promoted. Unless it is an establishment that was determined at the beginning of the army's establishment.

Anyway, the conditions that these ragtag armies have obtained at this time are already very good, so they can't say too much opinion.

The 36th Group Army was obtained by destroying the enemy and changing its strength. Meng Xiang is fully organized, and it is a motorized group army.

The commander of the 36 Army was Niu Er. It has jurisdiction over the New First Army, the New Sixth Army, and the New Seventh Army.

The commander of the New First Army was Sun Liren. In the original history, Sun Liren's new army was the famous trump card, and Meng Xiang brought this new army for Sun Liren. The position of division commander of the 18th Division was taken over by Li Honglai.

The commander of the New Sixth Army is Niu Liu, and the commander of the New Seventh Army is Hu Qi.

Among the divisions under them, except for Sun Liren, who retained a new 38th Division, the others were from the new 41st to the new 48th Division. There were ten divisions in total.

The 37th Army was led by Rat Sanlai.

It has jurisdiction over Huang Baitao's 57th Army, Huba's New 8th Army, and Pang Bingxun's 40th Army.

The 57th Army consisted of one 111th Division, one 112th Division, and one provisional 157th Division.

The new 8th Army was a new 40th Division, a temporary 108th Division, and Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division.

As soon as Wu Huawen's pistol brigade had the establishment of the new Fourth Division, he defected to the vanguard army. Although he had a bad reputation in later life, he was very dedicated to each term. As soon as his new Fourth Division was expanded, the initiative was no longer in his hands. Coupled with the Pioneer Army's subsistence allowance and pension policy, most of the people in the war zone slowly leaned to the side of the Pioneer Army.

Pang Bingxun's 40th Army had 39 Divisions, 106 Divisions and 140 Divisions under its jurisdiction. Lao Pang's troops are almost empty. The 106th Division has been built into the descendant of the vanguard army, and the provisional 140th Division is also composed of cultivated descendants and patriotic educated recruits. Even in the 39th division, Lao Pang's old subordinates are less than a thousand. However, Lao Pang had no other meaning at this time, and he was also very conscious of his status, and he worked hard when he was fighting. So this time it was also organized into a motorized infantry corps.

Meng Xiang also made major adjustments to Shi Yousan's Tenth Legion.

The 10th Army Corps originally had only one establishment of the 69th Army. After Shi Yousan and others were sentenced, Meng Xiang, the commander of the 69th Army, was promoted to Gao Shuxun, which made Gao Shuxun a little grateful to this Meng Dashuai, and he didn't have much opinion on Hu Er as the commander of the corps.

The newly adjusted 69th Army includes the 181st Division led by the original Shi Yousan, the new 6th Division of Gao Shuxun, and the temporary 169th Division transferred by Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang arranged the new 10th Army with Hu Minghe here. The New 10th Army includes the New 41st Division, the Provisional 110th Division, and the Provisional 210th Division.

At the same time, the 9th Cavalry Division was also included. The Third Cavalry Corps was reduced last year because of heavy losses in horses. Zheng Dazhang of the Third Cavalry Army, who was born in the Northwest Army, only left the 9th Cavalry Division.

Meng Xiang didn't have much impression of Zheng Dazhang, so he naturally didn't know that he later became a big man. However, after the vanguard army had tanks and armored vehicles, there were not many opportunities to use cavalry. It's just that in some cases, it can still work wonders, so Meng Xiang retained this kind of preparation. In the next step, with the gradual control, Meng Xiang planned to shrink into the First Cavalry Army together.

It's just that this is not the time, and those new military investments, some of the formations are not suitable for too many adjustments. It's not necessarily good conditions to retain people. The Pioneers' move was the most attractive to the soldiers and the middle and lower rank officers, who, although well paid and even had dividends to share, were far worse off than they had been in the free reign of the previous one.

Therefore, Meng Xiang needs time to digest these, start from the middle and lower levels, and control the initiative of the army little by little. Just like Lao Han's army, they are basically digested.

After being trained by Hu Minghe for a while, the 81st Division was already controlled by the descendants of the Vanguard Army. Even Sun Tongxuan accepted his fate and completely tied himself into the vanguard army, otherwise there would be no motorized adaptation.

Gu Liangmin's 56th Army was originally not many, and it had already fallen into the hands of Meng Xiang at this time.

Gu Liangmin is still righteous, and he is a righteous and trustworthy person. In the original history, after Lao Han was killed by Jiang, Gu ignored the situation of the Han family at that time, and still sent his eldest daughter Gu Yizhi from Yucheng to Beiping to marry Han's second son Han Zihua as promised.

Usually, Gu Liangmin also follows the rules, there is no great merit or big mistake, and Meng Xiang did not do anything to cut the domain. However, Zhang Lingfu's 74th Division made outstanding achievements and was very dazzling under his command. Zhang Lingfu has made so many contributions, Meng Xiang still has not adjusted it, but he has been promoted to the position of deputy commander of the 56th Army, and will take over Gu Liangmin's class in the future.

Gu Liangmin also planned to serve as the mayor of his hometown Heze and contribute to his hometown. But Meng Xiang kept it, Zhanshutang and Li Hanzhang both left the army, if Gu Liangmin left again, it would be a little too eye-catching. Besides, Zhang Lingfu's promotion was too fast, which was also a little inappropriate.

Sun Liren served as a division commander early, and even had a military-level position, but he didn't go, and it was no problem to be promoted to army commander at this time.

Hu Tiexia has made a lot of contributions before, and besides, he was promoted to division commander relatively early, and at this time, he was only an ordinary infantry army, so it was not very eye-catching. The 56th Army is the establishment of a motorized army, which naturally attracts special attention.

The arrival of Wu Huawen and Cao Fulin can be regarded as having recruited Lao Han's team. Although the vanguard army is stronger, the human heart is very thoughtful, and it takes time to settle and clarify.

At this time, the vanguard army swallowed the men and horses of the Northwest Army in one gulp. It takes more time to digest it well, and lacking the backbone role of the clones, Meng Xiang relies more on the new lineage cultivated at this time to maintain stability. After all, the vanguard army has only expanded to nearly a million troops in just over a year. A lot of these things don't straighten out. When winning a battle and paying enough for the army, these cannot be reflected, and once there is an accident, it is easy to collapse.

Therefore, Meng Xiang would rather seek stability and encroach a little bit than cause a violent rebound when swallowed. Except for those provisional divisions, which were formed by the fusion of the descendants and recruits of the vanguard army, the establishment of many new recruits in the army has not changed much, and there is no move to cut the feudal domain. However, they did not recruit their own soldiers, but could only recruit qualified soldiers from the boot camp. Coupled with the rebuilding of the original soldiers, the blood will slowly be changed again.

With subsistence allowances, pensions, and high salaries, as well as a fair military merit system, it will not take half a year for those middle- and lower-level officers to return to the vanguard army and integrate into it. At that time, you can rest assured that you can make a big adjustment.

If the 6 group armies and 1 corps are fully staffed with an establishment of 1.5 million people, there are still some vacancies at this time, and Meng Xiang does not plan to fill them for the time being. In addition to the regular army, which is almost 1 million, the first guerrilla column of Rat Yi has also grown to nearly 150,000 people, and Wei Hanchao's second guerrilla column has also expanded to 50,000 people. With that, there are already more than a million people.

If you add 100,000 armed police forces and 500,000 National Guard reserves, if they are all trained into elite soldiers, it will be enough to deal with Xiao Yue.

During this period of time, the expansion was too fast, not only did there be a lot of defectors, but even the newly recruited soldiers were extraordinarily large, and the number of people who joined the army on the newly occupied territories was very large, and the burden suddenly increased a lot. If it weren't for the support of the base and the cost of selling arms, it would be difficult to raise this 1 million army.

The cost of ordinary infantry is not high, mainly because the cost of the newly expanded motorized divisions is particularly large. From the human side alone, more than 10,000 drivers trained by the vanguard army were all pulled away at once. Vehicles and fuel are huge expenses. In particular, the vanguard army expanded more than a dozen motorized divisions at once this time, and the cost was even more astonishing.

And the mechanized division composed of the 54th Army is even more of a gold-swallowing beast, but its power is amazing. Meng was confident that the 54th Army had been established, which was enough to sweep away his ten divisions. Huang Huamin and Li Tiexia didn't complain at all about being still the division commander, and even Sun Liren was a little reluctant to leave. Hu Minghe even asked to be transferred to the 54th Army with a straight face.

This was the commander of the Third Army, Hu Yi, who was also the commander of the 54th Army.

Compared with the Navy and the Air Force, the Army spends less money.

With the strength of the Huaxia Air Force, the central political axe has also been adjusted. The original brigade was too small, so the central government also restructured it.

Divide the Chinese air force into four routes.

The first and second routes are all descendants of the Central Army, and there are more than 200 aircraft of various types at this time. Soviet Russia supported a part, the vanguard sold them quite a bit, and they also bought some from copycat companies.

The first road is responsible for air operations in Chongqing, Wuhan, Shaanxi and other places.

The second route is responsible for air operations in South China and Southwest China.

The fourth road is a synthesis of aircraft of those miscellaneous armies, with more than a hundred of them, distributed in various regions.

In this adjustment, the air force of the Vanguard Army was divided into the Third Route Army.

It consists of a fighter wing, a bomber wing, a transport aircraft wing, and an attack aircraft wing.

The fighter wing is dominated by thunder and lightning. It is still a two-plane formation composed of a long plane and a wingman, and a four-plane formation.

The squadron is the lowest level of tactical formation consisting of 4 four-aircraft formations with a total of 16 aircraft.

The basic tactical establishment is a flight group consisting of 4 squadrons and a brigade headquarters, with a total of 70 aircraft; The Flying Wing, which has four brigades and one wing headquarters, has a total of 300 aircraft. The existing fighters of the Vanguard Army have already filled two wings. One of them is composed of pure Thunderbolt aircraft, the other is a mixed composition of various aircraft, one group of BF-109, one group of German-made aircraft such as FW190, and one group of American aircraft such as Lightning and Mustang.

Because of price and safety factors, the mainstream is still Thunderbolt aircraft.

Better planes are in aircraft labs and secret hangars. In order to avoid accidents at the base, Meng Xiang produced twelve of each of the advanced aircraft early and placed them in the secret mountain hangar. Two of them are used for research purposes, while the other ten are used as spare.

At this time, the situation of the vanguard army was still that there were few pilots, there was no shortage of aircraft, and Meng Xiang's pockets were temporarily abundant, so the idle production capacity of those empty finger centers was utilized, and they kept producing. The produced aircraft are sealed and stored in storage, waiting for later unsealing and use.

Up to now, Meng Xiang has mothballed more than 300 aircraft. However, these are also the Thunderbolt B, BF-109 and other aircraft produced in the early stage of World War II. Late World War II planes were too uneconomical. If a certain amount is reached, the gap can also be bridged. Even if it can't be used, it will be a lot of income to sell it at that time, and World War II is about to ignite, and at that time, the constraints of production capacity are the bottleneck of the scale of the war in each country.

Determined to be an arms dealer, how can you only rely on base production without stock? At that time, the base had a limited production line, and it was necessary to produce more advanced aircraft for the Vanguard Army's own use.

At this time, there were more than 600 skilled pilots in the fighter planes of the Vanguard Army, including more than 300 trained clones, and more than 100 in the Navy.

With the increase in combat and the proficiency of technology, there are more and more aces in the vanguard army who shoot down ten crosses. There are already eighteen people, of which Liu Cuigang topped the list with 17, followed by Liu Zhesheng with 16. Feng Wu ranked third with 14 aircraft, and Chen Ruixi, Liang Tiancheng, Hu Wen, and Le Yiqin all ranked third with 13 aircraft. Those elites who reached 5 planes reached more than 30 people.

He said that he had lost more than 600 planes of all kinds in the hands of the vanguard, including planes that had been bombed at the airport and shot down by antiaircraft guns. Their remaining planes did not dare to easily go out again in the face of the superiority of the vanguard army. The surrounding airports are even more closely guarded at night, and a number of checkpoints are arranged from far to near, so that the attack of the vanguard army can be detected early.

But Meng Xiang was not very enthusiastic about the attack on the airport. The plane can be built if it is lost, the airport is destroyed and repaired, and the most important thing is to kill those pilots. When they fly into the sky, according to the level of the vanguard army at this time, it will not be difficult to bombard them. At that time, there will be some more targets for contact. Therefore, instead of having a particularly good target such as the concentration of pilots, the bombers of the vanguard army generally do not go out to attack the airfield and startle the snake in advance.

At this time, the Vanguard Army's bombers were enough to bomb all the nearby airfields.

The bomber wing of the Vanguard Army was divided into a B-17 heavy bomber wing, which at this time had 120 B-17s. A wing of JU-88 universal bombers, at this time there were more than 80 units. One is Stuka United, all of which use the Stuka D, and there are nearly 100 at this time.

Originally, Meng Xiang also wanted to include it in the attack aircraft wing, but later it was listed as a separate wing as a dive bomber.

Their numbers are not very large, and even if the B-17 and Ju-88 are in a three-three formation, they are still far from the standard of a wing. However, these are still the number of aircraft in the case of understaffing, but the future development is towards the construction of a wing.

In the same attack aircraft wing, at this time there was only a group of 70 HS-123 attack aircraft and a group of 20 Il-10 attack aircraft and 30 Il-2. In the future, the attack aircraft will be dominated by the Il-10, which has a more superior surname. They will also be expanded to the wing in the future.

In addition, there are two transport aircraft wings, one is the Junkers Lady Wing with about 160 aircraft, and the other is the C-47 Wing with more than 40 aircraft.

In addition, there is a separate fleet of ME323D transport aircraft, of which there are already fifteen of these giant birds. As long as this kind of transport aircraft ensures the safety of the air, long-distance transportation is the most cost-effective.

There is also a separate reading brigade and a reconnaissance aircraft brigade, which gathers more than 100 reconnaissance planes of various types and can provide intelligence at any time.

Because most of the attack planes and reconnaissance planes are closely related to the army, they are mainly under the direct management of the army. It's just that the maintenance and maintenance requires personnel from the Air Command Center and the Air Force, so they still stay with the Air Force.

Also included in the Air Force's establishment are those trainer aircraft.

Not counting these hundreds of trainer planes and aircraft of the Army and Navy Airlines, the number of aircraft of the Pioneer Air Force has also reached more than 1,100. But this is only an airplane, and the current pilots of the Vanguard Army have just exceeded 1,000, and they can't fly it at all. The transport planes and bombers were taking up more personnel, and there were quite a few novices among them. Those more than 600 skilled pilots were the backbone of the vanguard army.

The two air force schools in Nanyuan and Weixian in Beiping are constantly cultivating new students, and some flying clubs in various places are training a group of enthusiasts using the pre-World War II biplane and monoplane provided by the base. There will be a steady stream of new pilots among these people, but it will take time to accumulate.

And all this is also money to pile up. Even if the base manufacturing is cheaper, more than 100 million yuan has been invested in the production of so many aircraft, fuel and ancillary equipment. The training of pilots is also more than 100 million yuan, which is not counting the high salaries and high salaries of those pilots. It is precisely because of the high-level treatment that the pilots are better than those of the Central Army, so that some people do not go to the Central Army. After all, in this world, in addition to blood, there is also reality.

At present, the Middle East base only provides 400 million yuan a year. The Air Force took half of the first.

At this time, the cost of producing weapons at the base was mainly based on mining. In addition to the Middle East base, the other sub-bases do not have too much mining minerals, so they only provide more than 200 million yuan. And the gold and silver money obtained from the sale of arms is generally no longer invested in the base. In addition to gold and silver as reserves, the other foreign exchange of gold and silver is spent a lot of money to buy machinery and technology.

With the expansion of the vanguard army, the funds of the base are becoming more and more tight. At this time, many of the more than 50 divisions of the vanguard army were dissatisfied, one because of the production capacity of the base, and the other because of the problem of funds.

Weapons, ammunition, equipment, etc., all of which need to be drawn from the base account. The number of double-gun units of the vanguard army with pistols is a huge expense, and the resulting ammunition consumption is even more staggering. The vanguard army was known for its large number of machine guns and artillery, and the price of these was even higher. Not to mention those vehicles, tanks.

Those giant cannons and shore guns bring not only deterrence, but also a lot of financial consumption.

And that navy was even more costly, which made Meng Xiang feel painful.

By this time, the Fifth Fleet of the Vanguard Army already had the new Zhenyuan. The original Nagato-class had already attracted the envy of those naval officers, and the Yamato-class that came out of nowhere at this time made these people drool onto the deck of the Zhenyuan.
