Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 139: Reorganization of the Troops

Lu Tianhao took advantage of the gaps and flew to various war zones.

This time, the bombing of the Allied Fleet killed 40,000 to 50,000 people.

However, for the bandits and the multinational coalition forces of more than one million, this amount of casualties is nothing.

The National Salvation Army now has a large number of city garrison troops and militia teams, but it is lacking in real combat troops.

What's more, there are many soldiers in the combat units who have not yet been trained in the training cabin, and their combat effectiveness is not even up to that of ordinary soldiers.

During this period, a lot of soldiers were recruited and a lot of auxiliary troops were incorporated.

Lu Tianhao decided to reorganize the troops again and upgrade all brigade-level units to division-level units.

Lu Tianhao first flew to the southern front and reorganized the troops there.

Lu Hongsheng's Third Mixed Brigade was promoted to the Third Army Division, and Wang Xinqi's Fourth Mixed Brigade was also promoted to the Fourth Army Division.

Each division consists of a mixed brigade, two infantry brigades, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment and a supply and transportation regiment.

Together with other troops and direct personnel of the division headquarters, the total number of people in a division reached people.

Zhang Cheng's First Armored Brigade was promoted to the First Armored Division, with the same configuration as Ding Xuguang's Armored Division, with a total of about 12,000 people.

Lu Tianhao set the number of troops in the Army Division to more than 20,000, hoping that the Army Division would be able to stand on its own in the future.

Lu Tianhao planned to treat the armored division as the ancient cavalry and use it for charging into battle.

The reorganization of the troops on the southern front, as well as their training and the provision of weapons and equipment, cost Lu Tianhao nearly 80 points.

Lu Tianhao suddenly felt something was wrong. Was it because he took too big a step?

Just the reorganization of the southern front troops cost almost 80 points.

After all these troops are reorganized, won’t my points reach the bottom?

But looking at the extraordinary momentum of the more than 60,000 reorganized and trained troops on the southern front, Lu Tianhao felt it was worth it.

If these 60,000-plus troops were to fight against the bandits, they should be able to easily resist a bandit force of 200,000 or 300,000.

The coalition forces had never fought with them, so Lu Tianhao couldn't draw any conclusions.

After Lu Tianhao gave some instructions to the troops on the southern front, he flew to the northern front and reorganized the troops there.

The mixed brigade of Du Wenquan and Zhang Kai was promoted to the 1st Army Division and the 2nd Army Division, with the same number of personnel and equipment as the 3rd and 4th Army Divisions.

Jiao Yajun's Second Armored Brigade was promoted to the Second Armored Division, with the same number of personnel and equipment as Ding Xuguang's Third Armored Division.

The total number of troops on the northern front reached more than 80, and nearly points were consumed.

After the reorganization of the troops on the north and south fronts, Lu Tianhao had less than 100 million points left.

Lu Tianhao returned to his central line troops.

Cui Jiantao and Jin Zhichao's mixed brigade was promoted to the fifth and sixth army divisions, and the training of new recruits alone consumed more than 500,000 points.

Including the equipment configuration, the total cost was 60 points.

With only more than 30 points left, Lu Tianhao no longer trained the soldiers in other troops.

Lu Tianhao kept the remaining points for emergency use.

The guard regiment was upgraded to a direct division with a strength of 12,000 men. The new recruits received no further training and were only equipped with infantry weapons and equipment.

After accumulating points, it will be upgraded and the direct division will be upgraded to a direct armored division.

The guard regiment has not been expanded any further. With more than 1000 soldiers, the guard regiment has already become quite strong in terms of strength and defense.

Wei Wuwei's sniper company will not be expanded any further. The sniper company will serve as a security sniper unit to protect the Marshal.

The reconnaissance battalion led by Dunzi and Gousheng was promoted to a youth corps with more than 1500 people. It became a direct unit of the Marshal's Mansion and still had the task of reconnaissance.

Looking at the points in his hand, Lu Tianhao smiled bitterly and shook his head. The original budget to train 10,000 soldiers could not be implemented for the time being.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and spent another 1000 points to train soldiers.

Lu Tianhao equipped them with some advanced weapons and equipment and let them sneak into the enemy's war zone under the cover of night.

This time, the troops were reorganized, and the regular combat forces reached six army divisions and three armored divisions.

Together with the divisions and troops directly under the Marshal's Office, the total force exceeded 20.

After a rough calculation, the militia and garrison troops actually numbered 800,000 to 900,000 people.

Lu Tianhao and the generals in the command center could hardly believe this number.

Wang Hui sighed, “Our National Salvation Army has reached over a million people without us even noticing.

This is really unexpected, and it is a pity that 800,000 to 900,000 people are not regular combat troops.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have to fear the more than one million bandits and coalition forces."

Jin Zhichao spoke up, "We don't need our militia and city defense troops. We can defeat them with our 20-plus combat troops."

Cui Jiantao also spoke up, "In fact, we have all overlooked a problem, not to mention our city defense troops.

Even our militia forces, the weapons and equipment equipped by the Marshal are not comparable to those of ordinary warlord troops.

It can be said that even our militia can be considered an elite force among the warlords’ troops.”

Lu Tianhao nodded, "That's right.

During the defense of Kyoto Prefecture, the weapons and equipment of many warlords' troops were indeed much inferior to those of our militia.

In this case, the 800,000 to 900,000 militia and city defense troops can really be used as combat troops at a critical moment."

Wang Hui also realized this, "It is indeed true, it may be that the combat troops of our National Salvation Army are too well-equipped.

This is why we underestimated our militia and city garrison troops.

Our militia and city defense forces have live-fire training every day.

I am afraid that many soldiers of the warlords' troops, even those who have participated in combat, do not have as many bullets as our militia are trained to use.

When it comes to real fighting, our militia will definitely be considered the elite among the warlords’ troops.”

Du Xiaowei spoke up at this time, “Our militia force is much larger than we thought.

You just counted only the regular militia forces, not the non-regular militia.

If we count them all, our militia will have to double or triple in size at least.”

Lu Tianhao and the others knew that if they calculated carefully, the number of militiamen and non-staff militiamen might be one or two million.

It’s just that the militia’s combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and Lu Tianhao and his men did not regard them as real troops.

At this moment, the signalman delivered an urgent battle report that the bandit troops and the multinational coalition forces had launched a full-scale attack.
