    May 21, 1938, Eighty-eighth Group Army Headquarters

    "Xiao Hui, in this way, our seven infantry divisions have been fully formed, and the personnel and equipment lost by the previous six infantry divisions have been completely replenished!"

    Today Liu Zhihui is here to report to Zhou Weiguo. During these times, Liu Zhihui has been sitting in Huainan, handling logistics matters for the 88th Army.

    Recruiting troops, training, etc., as well as distributing military pay, food, collecting taxes, etc.  It can be said that in just a few months, Liu Zhihui has grown from the third young master to a person with very good logistics capabilities.

    "Yes! Now all seven infantry divisions have been formed, and the personnel and equipment previously lost by the other six infantry divisions, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, and 152, have been fully replenished!"

    Liu Zhihui looked at Zhou Weiguo and said.

    "Not bad! Xiaohui, you have trained well as a logistics manager! It seems that the logistics department of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army can be completely managed by you!"

    Zhou Weiguo smiled and patted this guy on the shoulder. This was his brother. Although he was not related by blood, he was closer than a real brother.

    "You have been very tired during this period. I will give you a week off. You can take a good rest during this week. Leave the matter to your deputy. If you are exhausted by then, the old man will beat you when he comes back.  My Luo!"

    During this period of time, the Eighty-eighth Army has so many logistics supplies and so many things to do on Liu Zhihui, how can he not be tired?

    "No need! Brother Wen, you know! I have always wanted to chase you. Now you are the pride of our Zhou family. I don't want others to look down on our Zhou family. I hope they go out and talk about the three of us.  Brothers all give thumbs up, instead of saying that I only sit in this position because of my connections!"

    Zhou Weiguo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay! Be ambitious! A man should aim everywhere. But you are not young anymore. If you see a suitable girl, tell me, I will propose marriage to you!"

    Liu Zhihui left. Looking at Liu Zhihui, Zhou Weiguo showed a smile on his face. His younger brother did not embarrass him!

    "Chief! Your brother is great! It seems that you have left the logistics to him. You really got the right person!"

    Yang Jie came up from behind, looked at Liu Zhihui¡¯s back and smiled.

    "Yes! We've made it to the right person!"

    Zhou Weiguo sighed and lamented that the third young master of the Zhou family was no longer a playboy.

    "General, I have something to ask you! We previously recruited 200,000 new soldiers, and now we have drawn 130,000 of them to form new infantry divisions to supplement the personnel losses of each infantry division. But now there are still 70,000  Man, you want to form a new division? Together with the 110,000 captured soldiers at Shanqiao in the west of Nanjing City?"

    Yang Jie turned to look at Zhou Weiguo and asked.

    Although seven infantry divisions were formed, Zhang Xingchen¡¯s Second Infantry Division did not use new soldiers. They were all troops he had brought over before.  As for the 1st Infantry Division, Zhang Yichun's unit contains several thousand veterans who were also Zhang Yichun's former troops.

    So the recruit division that is truly formed entirely from new recruits is the force after the Third Infantry Division.

    After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said: "In the next two months, I will not form an infantry division for the time being. Of the remaining 70,000 people, I am going to form a B division and a new armored division. The B division will serve as our  Type A division supplements the troops. It is also used as a guard force.

    Now we have thirteen Class A divisions, but you also know.  The five infantry divisions 132 to 136 and the 152nd Division are the most powerful among our current troops.

    In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Second Infantry Division cannot be underestimated.  In addition, the only unit with combat effectiveness is the First Infantry Division.

    From the 3rd Infantry Division to the 7th Infantry Division, although the weapons, equipment and organization of these five infantry divisions are the same as those of the Type A divisions, they have just been formed and have not yet formed combat effectiveness.  Therefore, no new divisions will be formed for the time being until they have formed combat effectiveness.

    As for the 110,000 captured soldiers, I am still of great use to them.  We rescued these soldiers and gave them some benefits. These soldiers are the most loyal soldiers of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army.  "

    Yang Jie knew that Zhou Weiguo had other ideas and stopped asking.

    Now the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, including the 13 Class A divisions, has more than 270,000 people.

    In addition, there are 70,000 people left, plus 110,000 captured soldiers, a total of more than 450,000 people.

    In addition, there is a preparatory regiment, a guard brigade directly under the group army, two heavy artillery divisions, and a??The armored division also has various units directly under the group army headquarters, with a total of nearly half a million troops.

    Of course, most of the troops here are still forming combat effectiveness and reorganizing.  It will take three months to fully exert its combat effectiveness.

    Three months later, the Eighty-eighth Army will have an army of 500,000 people.

    By then, the Japanese troops in Central and East China will no longer be a big problem.

    ?¡­

    In the following time, Zhou Weiguo began to implement the reorganization of the army.

    On May 22, 1938, Zhou Weiguo, as the commander of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, ordered that each infantry division increase its brigade-level establishment.

    Each infantry brigade has two infantry regiments.  At the same time, the brigade commander's military rank was set to that of major general!

    The 132nd Division consists of the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade.

    The 133rd Division consists of the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade.

    The 134th Division consists of the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 6th Infantry Brigade.

    The 135th Division consists of the 7th Infantry Brigade and the 8th Infantry Brigade.

    The 136th Division consists of the 9th Infantry Brigade and the 10th Infantry Brigade.

    The 152nd Division consists of the 11th Infantry Brigade and the 12th Infantry Brigade.

    The 1st Infantry Division consists of the 13th Infantry Brigade and the 14th Infantry Brigade.

    The 2nd Infantry Division consists of the 15th Infantry Brigade and the 16th Infantry Brigade.

    The 3rd Infantry Division has the 17th Infantry Brigade and the 18th Infantry Brigade.

    The 4th Infantry Division has the 19th Infantry Brigade and the 20th Infantry Brigade.

    The 5th Infantry Division has the 21st Infantry Brigade and the 22nd Infantry Brigade.

    The 6th Infantry Division consists of the 23rd Infantry Brigade and the 24th Infantry Brigade.

    The 7th Infantry Division has the 25th Infantry Brigade and the 26th Infantry Brigade.

    The list of brigade commanders is as follows: Meng Yandong, Xiong Bicheng, Wen Hanlin, Ming Ruiqing, Ruan Shi, Yi Bin, Lu Rongxuan, Zheng Yong, Zhang Liu, Lu Zhengyi, Fan Guo, Peng Zhixun, Liang Yang, Xu Zhi, Huang Weigang  , Tong Zeguang, Li Yunlong, Lang Jun, Feng Yuanying, Yan Dan, Liu Jianrui, Sun Xu, Feng Xiang, Chen Hongjun, Qin Feng, Yu Fan.

    There are a total of twenty-six brigade commanders, all of whom are major generals.

    After this order was issued, each infantry division began to quickly reorganize its troops, add infantry brigade establishments, and at the same time, brigade headquarters began to be established.

    The day after this order was issued, Zhou Weiguo issued another order again, promoting Yang Zhihua to the rank of major general, serving as the commander of the Third Heavy Artillery Division, and began to form the Third Heavy Artillery Division.

    At the same time, Du Qingming, Huang Zhentao, and Du Guowei were promoted to the rank of lieutenant general

    The evening of May 24, 1938

    "Weiguo, I heard that you are going to attend the opening ceremony of the new school outside the city tomorrow?"

    At night, Xiao Ya was still lying in Zhou Weiguo's arms as usual, but tonight she asked.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
