Chapter 216: The shadow of war looms, and the war is about to break out
The Fuxing Army currently has a total of five major armies, with combat serial numbers from the First to the Fifth Army.
They are respectively affiliated with the Far East Military Region, the Northern Military Region and the Central Plains Military Region. In addition to the three airborne divisions of the Sixth Airborne Army, there are a total of 21 main divisions.
The total strength of the main force of the Fuxing Army is not large.
On average, each of these 21 main army divisions has about 1.8 people, and the total number of registered people in these 21 divisions is 38.7.
This amount of troops is indeed not a lot, which is also because Jiang Hua wants to maintain a policy of elite troops.
Although the number of main divisions is not large, the current strength of the National Guard has reached 500,000.
This is also a preparation for the future liberation of the South.
According to the decision of the Military and Political Committee and the plan of the General Staff, the two major military regions participating in the southern operations this time are mainly the Central Plains Military Region and the Northern Military Region.
A total of three army groups.
They are the Second Army of the Northern Military Region and the Third and Fourth Army of the Central Plains Military Region.
In addition, 30 National Guard corps will be organized into multiple columns and join the combat sequence.
The total number of troops is about 50.
The total military strength of the Southern Association for Regional Cooperation they faced was around 200 million.
Although there is a huge gap in military strength between the two sides, it does not mean that Jiang Hua looks down on the Southern Allied Forces.
But their more than 200 million people are really not enough to fight against these 50 people.
Let’s first talk about the current main army group of the Fuxing Army.
After the military reform, the main group army has also become a combined group army of various arms.
According to the standards of a combined arms group army, it will be composed of armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions, motorized infantry divisions, artillery divisions, anti-aircraft artillery divisions, as well as independent brigade-level units such as independent tank brigades, special operations brigades, transport brigades, pontoon brigades, and aviation brigades.
The ratio of armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions and motorized infantry divisions is 1:2:4.
However, due to the dense water network and numerous mountains in the south, it is not suitable for the deployment of large-scale armored forces.
Therefore, there is no armored division in the Central Plains Military Region's combat sequence. There are only mechanized infantry divisions and motorized infantry divisions, with a ratio of 1:2.
That is to say, there are a total of 2 mechanized infantry divisions and 4 motorized infantry divisions.
The two group armies of the Central Plains Military Region have a total of 12 division-level units.
However, in reality, the Third and Fourth Group Armies of the Central Plains Military Region only have a total of 8 division-level units, which is an understaffed organization.
The main reason why there was no surge in military recruitment during this period was that the organization had not been finalized, and there was some confusion among the troops during the adjustments, in addition to a comprehensive change of equipment.
Everything seemed very hurried.
If a large-scale military expansion is carried out at this time, it will undoubtedly exacerbate the chaos.
That is why we decided to wait until everything stabilizes before gradually expanding our military.
Therefore, the three major military regions are actually not complete.
In the future, Jiang Hua will gradually recruit troops in an organized manner and give priority to adding them to the combat sequence of the Central Plains Military Region, striving to fully staff the three major group armies before April 4.
By this calculation, there will be as many as 18 divisions under the jurisdiction of these three major armies.
Adding the artillery divisions, anti-aircraft artillery divisions and brigade-level combat units, the total strength of each army group is about 15 people.
The total strength of the three major group armies is between 45 and 50, plus more than 30 corps and air force troops, the total strength is about one million.
These one million people can easily defeat the more than two million people of the Southern Alliance.
Even if John, Gaul and other countries sent troops to support the Southern Alliance during this period, it was not enough when facing the million-strong army of the Restoration Army.
In addition to adjusting and expanding the army's organization, Jiang Hua also plans to expand the Strategic Rocket Force, the fourth branch of the Fuxing Army.
The current Strategic Rocket Force has begun to take shape and has been organized into a strategic missile group army.
This missile group army is composed of several strategic missile brigades.
Some of these strategic missile brigades are equipped with silo-launched strategic ballistic missiles, while others are equipped with mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The main model is the V3 Changkong series of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
At present, these strategic missile brigades have basically established the long-range nuclear strike capability of the Renaissance Army.
Although it is not possible to cover the entire world yet, there is no problem in covering the entire Dongzhou.
The next unit to be expanded is the tactical missile brigade at the regimental level.
These tactical missile brigades are also equipped with the V3 Changkong series, but they are medium-range and short-range tactical missiles.
Medium-range missiles are responsible for striking military targets within an area of 2000-3000 kilometers.
Short-range tactical missiles are responsible for striking military targets within 1000 kilometers.
Since the war is being fought domestically, conventional warheads are used, and no nuclear warheads, even small tactical nuclear warheads, are used.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the attack on the Yugoslav Army can be described as a dimensionality reduction attack.
So Jiang Hua was not in a hurry to expand the army.
As far as the three major group armies currently incorporated into the combat sequence are concerned, there is absolutely no problem in terms of manpower to fight in the early stages.
He can slowly incorporate the newly established troops into the combat sequence.
However, recent intelligence from the General Intelligence Bureau and the Air Force reconnaissance shows that our neighbor to the north has begun to stir.
The pressure on the Far Eastern Group Army may be very great.
After all, Jiang Hua forcibly occupied millions of square kilometers in the East and West Siberia region.
It is normal for them to be restless since they have not subdued their neighbor.
Let's settle the domestic issues first, and then teach this neighbor a lesson.
So that they would no longer dare to covet this land that has belonged to the ancient country since ancient times.
Therefore, the Far East Military Region mainly focuses on defense.
If there is pressure on defense, then appropriate counterattacks can also be launched.
The Military and Political Committee gave the Far East Military Region a great deal of autonomy.
Southern Alliance, Jinling.
SAARC Presidents Wu Zhichang, Gu Ziqi, Lu Jianzhang and the Consul Generals of John and Gaul in the ancient country gathered together.
President Wu Zhichang placed a piece of intelligence in front of the two consuls general and said solemnly, "Two consuls general, according to the intelligence we have collected, since February, the Fuxing Army has been sending reinforcements to Jiangcheng in Jingbei and the southern part of Qidong Province.
The signs that they are about to take action are already very obvious.
I called you two here today because I hope that if war breaks out, John and Gaul will give us strong support."
Consul General John and Consul General Gaul exchanged a glance, and then Consul General John spoke out, "If the Renaissance Army attacks you, we will definitely give you our utmost support.
This includes our direct participation in the war.
We have already mobilized troops from the colonies in East Continent.
A total of three divisions with more than 40,000 troops have been mobilized, and they are currently all assembled and on standby in the Indochina Peninsula.
In addition, we will continue to increase our military support to you."
This was also the first time that John and Gaul made it clear that they would directly send troops to intervene in the impending war.
Because they have already felt the pressure from the Renaissance Army.
Not to mention how much interest they have in the ancient country.
The current Renaissance Army has already shown such strength.
If they were allowed to unify the ancient country, it would directly pose a huge threat to their colonies in Dongzhou.
However, they also knew that the Southern Alliance was no match for the Renaissance Army.
The strength currently demonstrated by the Renaissance Army alone makes them lose all confidence in the Southern Alliance.
So they also developed a strategy.
Just when Wu Zhichang, who was looking very happy, wanted to say something, the Gaul Consul General interrupted him.
"Given the current situation, if your Changhe defense line is lost, we suggest that you retreat to the southwest and use the complex terrain of the southwest to continue to resist the attack of the Renaissance Army.
As for the Southwestern Army in the southwest, we will cooperate with you to take this place."
Retreating to the southwest was their worst-case scenario.
As long as the Southern Alliance can hold the southwest, their colonies and the Renaissance Army will have a buffer zone and will not pose a direct threat to them.
“It’s impossible to lose!”
At this time Wu Zhichang said firmly.
"We have spent a huge amount of money to build five river defense fortresses along the Changhe defense line. Each fortress is impregnable and has more than 100,000 troops stationed there.
Unless the Restoration Army tanks can cross the river directly, they will not be able to break through our defenses."
These five river defense fortresses were built specifically to target the Fuxing Army.
Distributed in the lower, middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
The two consuls general were also aware of the situation of these five river defense fortresses.
Because the designer of these five river defense fortresses was General Andrea Maginot from Gaul, and he was the one who presided over the design of the Maginot Line.
The Gauls also did not believe that the strong fortress they built would be lost.
“This is the worst-case scenario.
As long as you can withstand the offensive of the Renaissance Army on the Changhe River and hold back the Renaissance Army's forces here.
We will join forces with other countries to intervene or even send troops directly.
Once our intervention is successful, you can divide the river and rule separately from the Restoration Army."
It was also their plan to divide the ancient country into two parts with the long river as the boundary.
If this can be done, then the Renaissance Army will no longer pose a threat to them.
So what they said about sending troops was not just talk.
Instead, they were actually mobilizing colonial troops to prepare to participate in this war.
They have recently been contacting Fuso and asking them to send troops to participate.
Fuso is still interested in this matter.
It can be said that they are very interested in anything that is against the Renaissance Army.
After all, the Renaissance Army beat them so badly.
Both the army and the navy were beaten.
Especially the navy, the Combined Fleet was almost left without any commanders, and it would take more than ten or twenty years to recover.
As time goes by, April is getting closer and closer.
The dark clouds of war have begun to hang over the ancient country. Many people living near the war zone can already feel the atmosphere of war, and a war is about to break out.
