The two had initially declined repeatedly, but after Zhao Zhengwei said that they were both part of China's armed forces, they simply accepted!

The two of them were deeply moved until just now!

But until just now!

The two of them only then realized!

These weapons and equipment, when placed in the context of the recent major battles fought by the new Third Army, might not even amount to a fraction!

Seven hundred thousand Kwantung Army soldiers plus reinforcements from the Central Plains Theater!

With nearly 900,000 elite troops, the standard equipment they captured was enough to expand the New Third Front Army several times over!

Although some of the Sichuan Army was scattered, the total number of troops, including those of the New Third Front Army that marched north, exceeded 80,000!

Is this a 10 to 1 ratio?

"okay!"

"By the time you finish speaking, it will be dark!"

Just as Feng Jinqian and He Wuwei were both deeply impressed by the thousands upon thousands of spoils they had captured along the 500-mile route!

Xie Jinyuan's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Take everything seized and inventory it in the warehouse!"

"The battle to recapture the city has now begun, and we must return to our original units as soon as possible to take command!"

"Alright then! I'll get straight to the point!"

"This meeting mainly covers three aspects!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke in a deep voice.

Chapter 279 Commanding the Three Armies! Army, Navy, and Air Force! Rocket Force! [Please subscribe automatically!]

And Xie Jinyuan finished speaking!

The entire Marine Corps fell silent instantly, and everyone immediately put aside their thoughts.

Since its establishment, the New Third Army has developed rapidly, but there have been relatively few major conferences held by the Marine Corps. Therefore, the fact that the Commander-in-Chief has gathered the entire army this time clearly indicates that there is something important to announce.

"First!"

"The organizational structure and planning of the new Third Front Army must be brought to the forefront and discussed!"

"The New Third Front Army marched out of northwestern Shanxi, traveled all the way to the Northeast, and has now returned to this place. However, unlike last time, when we were like stray dogs, we are now arriving in the three northeastern provinces openly and legitimately!"

"Last time we only had 50,000 troops, but now not only have our troop strength increased several times, but we also have a series of military branches such as the Air Force, Navy, and Rocket Force!"

"Wang Chengzhu!"

Immediately, Xie Jinyuan looked sharply towards where Wang Chengzhu was and shouted loudly.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately stood up straight and said.

"The Rocket Force is the most special unit of the new Third Front Army. Unlike ordinary artillery units, it fills the gap in medium-range firepower!"

"Its land-attack operations demonstrate formidable combat capabilities!"

"Although they are both artillery, they are already different!"

"The Marine Corps has now decided to establish the Rocket Force!"

"It is the second branch of the Marine Corps!"

"It will be formed as a separate unit, but will still be under the command of the Marine Corps!"

"It has a headquarters, a staff department, and a political department, among others!"

"Wang Chengzhu is hereby appointed as Supreme Commander!"

"Report directly to the Marine Corps!"

"At the same time, the original artillery units will establish mobile artillery brigades with mechanized warfare as the main mode of operation!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Chengzhu said loudly.

Wang Gensheng also stood up at the same time. Now that the Rocket Force had been split off, he was the highest-ranking officer of the remaining artillery units!

"Huang Xiangrong!"

"exist!"

After a voice rang out, Huang Xiangrong stood up from his seat and stood at attention.

"The Air Force deserves the greatest credit for the victory in the Taipei battle!"

"Gaining air superiority has become an indispensable part of modern warfare!"

"Huang Xiangrong, do you still remember what I promised you?"

Xie Jinyuan said with a joking expression.

"Commander-in-Chief! You mean...?"

Huang Xiangrong scratched his head sheepishly.

In fact, the air force did perform exceptionally well in this battle, but he also discovered some shortcomings in subsequent battles.

Issues such as ammunition, air force command, and operational plans are all major problems that need to be resolved quickly.

"okay!"

"The time is ripe for the establishment of the Air Force!"

"The Marine Corps has now decided to establish the New Third Army and the New Third Air Force, which will be the main service branches, comparable to the Army!"

"Establish the Air Force Supreme Command!"

"It has subordinate departments including the Air Force Operations Command Center, Political Department, Staff Department, Ground Support, and Logistics Department!"

"Huang Xiangrong is the Supreme Commander!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

Huang Xiangrong was taken aback at first, then spoke incoherently.

Main force!

Its status is equivalent to that of the Army!

What is this concept?

It should be noted that among the three new armies, the army is undoubtedly number one, and it has a place even in the whole of China or the whole world!

And now?

"Don't be too happy yet! You know better than I do the shortcomings that the Air Force exposed in the Taipei battle!"

"I entrust the air force to you, and I hope to see that one day we can subdue the enemy without fighting!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke in a deep voice.

Air force is a deterrent force, and also the greatest weapon on the battlefield!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

Huang Xiangrong suddenly roared.

A hint of something unspeakable flickered in his eyes. In fact, when he first joined the New Third Army, he was uncertain!

After all, according to Commander-in-Chief Xie at the time!

Not just the new three air forces, but the world's air forces!

It should be noted that even when the Northeast Army was at its zenith, it had only just begun to establish the rudiments of an air force!

All the fighter jets were acquired by the old marshal through various means.

but now?

The scale far exceeds that of that year!

There are more than four air force divisions available!

And given the current pace of development of the new Third Front Army, this is far from over!

All I can say is that the commander-in-chief before me is no ordinary man!

It's nothing short of a miracle that someone from humble beginnings could get to where they are today!

"Wu Keyong!"

"exist!"

"The navy has always been a symbol of national power, and at the same time, it is the most important line of defense for protecting the homeland!"

"Wu Keyong! I'm asking you a question!"

Are you confident in leading the Chinese Navy into the deep blue sea?
