Chapter 1458: 1459 New Group Army
The Tang Empire established a new group army in Chu. The size of this group army was the same as that of the main group army. This was also the 11th group army formed by the Datang Empire.
These group armies were stationed in various areas of the Tang Empire. Judging from the numbers, they happened to be the 1st to the 11th, without any breaks in between.
The commander-in-chief of the 1st Army was Hogg. This general succeeded Marshal Redman as the commander-in-chief of this army. He is also an old man from the time of Bunas and has no question of loyalty.
Now that the 1st Group Army has invaded Shu, it is temporarily stationed near Kangrao, the largest city in Shu. However, they are short of personnel. The 1st Armored Division of the Tang Dynasty, which originally belonged to this group army, is now in Qin, temporarily Under the command of the 3rd Army.
The commander of the 2nd Army is Bolton, who is currently temporarily stationed in the south city of Qindi Town. They are being transferred back to the east coast of the Western Continent bit by bit, but the speed is very slow.
The main force of the 3rd Army under the command of Strauss returned to the Wuyang area, including the 1st Armored Division temporarily assigned to them, for repairs here.
The commander-in-chief of the 4th Group Army is named Willis, and he is also an old member of Tang Mo’s team during the Bunas era. He is a relatively low-key person, usually not showing off, and always looks like a good old man.
It is precisely because of his character that the 4th Army has always been under the direct command of Marshal Redman. This time it invaded Shu and was temporarily stationed along the Shushan defense line.
The commander of the 5th Army, Brian, was an old commander from Northridge. He had been serving under Count Fischereau before. Later, he came to Bunas with Alice and was loyal to Tang Mo.
This veteran is five years older than Eric, and is now over fifty years old. He is one of the few older generals in the Tang Empire.
The 5th Group Army has always been stationed at the junction of Qidi and Zhengdi. It has not been mobilized. It is a defensive force and its equipment is relatively poor among the several group armies.
The commander of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty was previously Marshal Tiger. Later, Zhao Chen was appointed by Tang Mo as the new commander of this army.
This unit has been conducting mountain operations in the Chu region. It is the most lightly-armed unit in the Tang army that can fight on complex terrain. After they swept across the Chu region and entered the Shu region, they were now deployed near the Xishan Fortress in the Chu region.
The commander of the 7th Army is Eric, and it is also a newly formed army. This army has not received new tasks since it occupied Qingluan Port, so it is still deployed there with no signs of movement.
Counting further down, Luo Xiao, commander of the 8th Group Army, led his troops to occupy Shu City and was ordered to station there, and they are still there now. Therefore, the 8th Army is also the only main force stationed in the Dahua area today.
The commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army was Feng Kezhi. Each unit of this army was deployed in the Phanhai area and missed the battle to destroy Qin.
However, because this force has always been deployed on the islands, it has become the most amphibious force in the Tang Empire, and it is also the force most closely watched by all countries in the world on the Eastern Continent.
Because there is a high probability that when Tang State attacks the Eastern Continent, Feng Kezhi's 9th Army will be the forward.
Burnsett, the commander of the 10th Army, was a new person promoted by Tang Mo in order to appease the old troops. Because he had used "relegated general" when forming the 9th Army and appointing the commander of the 6th Army, a new commander was promoted to balance the situation. one time. This commander has a professional background. He originally served as a senior staff officer of the General Staff under Loew. He is the kind of person who has piled up his qualifications and academic qualifications and then sent him to the group army to gain experience.
If nothing else happens, he is the unofficial successor to Marshal Loew and the future chief of staff of the empire.
This army group has always acted as a general reserve. It entered the Jiange area with Marshal Redman before and has remained there now.
Today's Jiange area is considered the core area of the Tang Dynasty and is not included in the Dahua area, so the 10th Army is not counted as entering the Dahua area. This is why there is only the 8th Army in the Dahua area.
The 11th Group Army, the latest group army formed, unexpectedly chose a commander from Qin: Ying'an.
This Qin general finally accepted Tang Mo's recruitment and became a general of the Tang Empire after the Qin Kingdom was completely destroyed.
He was also the third general to lead troops from another country who surrendered, and the second example of a member of the royal family of another destroyed country leading troops to fight in the Tang Empire.
The main reason why Ying'an was appointed as the commander of the 11th Army was that his grades at the Imperial Military Academy were really excellent. He graduated first in his grade and was praised by many people.
He himself is indeed full of talents: it is not unreasonable that he was able to defeat the famous Dahua general Li Mingshun before. Ying'an is a talent who is very good at learning and very talented in commanding modern armies.
Just like Zhuge met Jiang Wei, many generals, including Marshal Loew, had high hopes for this rising star, and Tang Mo gave him a chance to prove himself.
Of course, because Ying'an was promoted to the commander-in-chief of a group army, the old officials of the Qin State also took reassurance. This may be another reason why Tang Mo started Ying'an.
At present, the Tang Empire has three armies stationed in Shu, two armies deployed in Qin, one army group deployed in Dahua, two armies stationed in Chu, and two remaining in the mainland.
There are a total of eleven armies, but ten of them are not in the direction of the main attack on the Eastern Continent, and one is deployed in the northern part of the Endless Sea, which is the farthest place from Dorne. Therefore, it can be seen that Tang Mo really did not attack immediately. The meaning of Eastern Continent.
Not only does he have no intention of attacking the Eastern Continent, he is also expanding the export of materials to the Eastern Continent in order to make money. For a time, many cargo ships traveled between the two continents, making people temporarily forget the fact that the war was not over yet.
The only unlucky one is Dorne, because the trade of the Tang Empire is concentrated on the northern route of the Endless Sea, and the paralyzed southern route is still paralyzed without any repair or improvement.
Dorne's economy is still severely affected by the war. Many companies, enterprises and factories have closed down, and only a few are still surviving.
One exception is Pan Yiping's radar company. Unlike other companies, his company has been growing and making money during this period, and he personally has become an upper-class person who is friends with the dignitaries of Dorne.
