"What about the current formation of the fire support battalion?"
The battalion-level troops for combat are formed, and the battalion-level troops serving as fire support are also indispensable.
Among them, the fire support battalion is very critical, and it is used to attack the enemy with firepower before fighting the infantry.
Zhao Long Lizheng replied: "It is estimated that the formation will be completed tomorrow. The fire support battalion has already recruited 200 people, and there are still 142 people left, 24 trucks towing the 155 howitzer of the fire support battalion, and another The twenty-four ammunition vehicles in the camp have all been installed. There are a total of twenty-four Type 20 155mm howitzers in the battalion. It is planned to establish three artillery companies plus a battalion headquarters company as a security force, as well as supporting engineering platoons and artillery Drone Squad."
Since the army does not yet have an air force capable of supporting it, when preparing the fire support battalion, some establishments were specially increased.
Fortunately, the troops do not need to engage in long-distance combat at present, and there will be no problem with such an organizational structure.
As the main equipment of the fire support battalion, the so-called Type 20 155mm howitzer has already been engaged in actual combat in the wasteland world.
The artillery is currently the only equipment in the Red Police Corps that is capable of long-distance firepower projection except for the rocket launcher unit.
Of course, it is impossible for such a large base to have only this type of artillery. There are also many small-caliber artillery, and of course heavy artillery with a caliber of up to 203mm.
This kind of large-caliber heavy artillery barrel has a long range, enough to hit nearly 60 kilometers. If you launch a rocket-extended range bomb, it will be no problem to hit a hundred kilometers, but of course the hit rate will not be very good.
And under this large-caliber heavy gun, there is a smaller 175mm heavy gun, but these two guns are too heavy. And in terms of actual combat value, it is not necessarily higher than the 155mm artillery.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen chose the 155mm artillery, and also plans to form some artillery companies for the light infantry in the future, equipped with 105mm artillery.
At present, as long as the fire support battalion is established, it can quickly exert its combat effectiveness.
It just needs to be placed in the middle between Marin Town and Samarra,
You can hit the enemy in Samarra.
The value of a weapon is not mainly based on whether it is advanced. It depends on whether it is suitable for the needs of the battlefield.
It is a pity that there is no self-propelled artillery in the base at present, otherwise Cai Ruichen would not choose these towed howitzers.
After all, compared with those self-propelled artillery, this kind of towed artillery is also very troublesome to use.
"According to the original plan, a combat brigade will be formed in a month. At present, is there any difficulty?" Cai Ruichen asked.
"As long as the soldiers can be gathered, then the problem of equipment is left. There is no problem with guns and ammunition, trucks, heavy weapons and individual firepower equipment. But so far, the troops have only accepted three warrior assault vehicles. According to the formulated According to the plan, once the combat brigade is formed, at least 420 warrior assault vehicles will be needed to equip the infantry." Zhao Long said.
"There is no problem with the Mengshi assault vehicle, and large-scale production has already begun. It will be delivered to the troops on time in one month." Cai Ruichen said.
The Warrior Assault Vehicle is actually a light armored combat vehicle with four times four wheels, which is somewhat similar to the American armored Humvee.
This weapon was naturally a product of the base, and after his authority was upgraded to the primary level, it appeared on the production list of the primary arsenal.
The combat weight of this assault vehicle is nearly ten tons. The heavy armor covers the whole car, the bulletproof windows cannot be raised and lowered, and there is a small machine gun turret on the rear seat of the car.
On the machine gun turret, any machine gun can be installed, and the most powerful one is the reduced version of the Getter machine gun.
Of course, anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles can also be installed for air defense and anti-armor operations.
Each assault vehicle can take five people, and there is a large compartment at the back, which is used to store infantry combat equipment and medical supplies, and can also be used to carry the wounded to evacuate the battlefield when necessary.
Such an assault vehicle costs 5,000 yuan to build, and it also includes a weapon system. Of course, the ammunition must be provided separately.
In terms of protection, due to the rapid assault, the body defense can barely defend against some rocket launchers with less damage, and can resist the firepower of heavy machine guns.
The emergence of this weapon will become an important equipment for the infantry of the Red Police Corps.
At present, since there is no land combat equipment such as armored vehicles and tanks, this vehicle can only be used as a platform for soldiers to fight.
However, compared with most of the armed forces in Iraq, this assault vehicle is already very powerful.
At least compared to the most advanced armored Humvee of the US military, it is not weak at all, not to mention it can also be loaded with anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, which is more versatile.
Rather than the Hummer like the US military, it can only be equipped with machine guns.
The construction of the army is the top priority, and Cai Ruichen is not the kind of person who values equipment more than life.
For a long time, in Cai Ruichen's mind, the life of every Red Police soldier was extremely precious.
If there is equipment that can improve their chances of survival on the battlefield, no matter how expensive it is, he will produce it without hesitation and give it to the soldiers for use.
With the expansion of power in the future, the threat of war will also be greater, so it is very necessary to build a strong army.
But sometimes, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they need better soldiers to use them.
This is something Cai Ruichen is very grateful for, otherwise it would be really difficult to cultivate a modern army from scratch.
Especially with the enemy around, he didn't have time to develop an elite army from scratch.
Every soldier in the Red Police Corps is a natural fighter. He does not need to be educated and trained. He can play with various weapons and equipment and is very proficient.
But it is precisely because of this that Cai Ruichen cherishes these soldiers even more. In his mind, these people are no different from their relatives.
It's just that there are no immortals on the battlefield. In the defensive battle of the wasteland, with an absolute advantage in firepower, more than two hundred people died, and they were still facing a group of very primitive enemies.
In the present world, what the Red Police Corps is facing is not those mutants who can only use brute force as weapons, but a group of soldiers who also have professional military training and a sound command mechanism, not just mutants with a little wisdom comparable.
Therefore, regarding the upcoming large-scale actual combat, where 3,000 regular troops were planned to participate in the battle, Cai Ruichen inevitably felt a little uneasy.
After all, this will also be a real foreign battle of the Red Police Corps, and it may be a long-term battle, which is not comparable to the battle in Marin Town. (To be continued..)
