537 Building China's "Stryker" Composite Brigade (30/100)

"Under such circumstances, what we are pursuing is to improve combat effectiveness and allow this unit to give full play to its combat capability with limited weapons and equipment......"

"Wait a minute, don't talk too fast, I can't remember that fast. Yang Bin interrupted Xie Kai's words. "I can't expect to get the text plan out of your hands, if you're too fast, then ......"

"Don't fix those useless things, just go straight to dry goods. You really think you're the gourd bastard, you can't take it when you get up, we don't have that much time to talk to you. He Chao scolded Xie Kai.

The most annoying thing is that Xie Kai has to say these useless things.

"Actually, this is not water, no matter what plan, there must be a clear goal, and there must be a guiding basis, right?" Tang Xin sighed, "But the gourd bastard is indeed a bit excessive." It's nothing to think about, the gourd itself is empty, and it is full of water...... Can it still be called a gourd without water?"

"Okay, it doesn't matter to me whether the gourd water is water or not. Xie Kai saw that there was no seriousness or seriousness on the faces of these goods, "I suggest that this force should not be built according to the model we thought before, but according to the synthetic force provided for the construction of the Iraqi army." At the same time, there have to be some differences. ”

"The expansion of the above into a brigade is also the same idea. Even use our unit to replace the blue army in future exercises. Tang Xin told Xie Kai that the above attaches great importance to this matter and has great hopes.

"What's the difference?"

"Instead of using individual battalions to synthesize, companies are used as basic units, and even some branches use platoons as units to create several synthetic battalions......," Xie Kai said.

"In this way, the command system is very demanding, and even the United States does not have such a troop formation. Tang Xin frowned.

What Xie Kai said will make it more difficult to build the troops.

The requirements for logistical support, etc., are higher.

"Very high indeed, this is an exploration with the aim of increasing the integrated combat capability of the troops. Whether it is mechanized or motorized, in terms of combat capabilities, it is inferior to such a composite battalion. Xie Kai completely took the situation of a synthetic brigade of the People's Liberation Army that he saw at the end as a model.

"The entire brigade is equipped with four composite battalions as the main combat force, and each composite battalion integrates assault vehicle company, fire company, support company and other units, and is also equipped with brigade mixed artillery battalion, reconnaissance battalion, combat support battalion and other units...... Xie Kai recalled that he had seen the "Leapfrog-2017" military exercise reported on the Internet at the beginning.

The establishment of such a brigade looks chaotic, and a battalion has all kinds of equipment, but when it comes to combat, its combat effectiveness is particularly strong.

The only bad thing is that the requirements for the command system, logistics support system, and communication system are very high.

Why did Xie Kai propose such a plan?

This kind of construction plan plays a great role in the construction and development of special brigades, and it is impossible for the formulation plan that has taken 30 years of exploration in China to be unreasonable.

Once established, it will promote the attention of the entire military system in all aspects.

What's more, the base can undertake the research and development of some new technologies, and that thing can be provided for free at the beginning, and it should be used for testing, and when the military sees the effect and wants to expand the scale, then it will definitely have to ask them for money.

It can even be used to start with the satellite communication system of the aerospace industry, the military's individual combat system, and the computer monitoring and command system.

You don't want money in the early stage, but you can't want people.

If the military doesn't give money, it can't even give people, right?

"For example, the reconnaissance battalion is mainly composed of soldiers of special operations, and at the same time is equipped with remote-controlled aircraft equipped with cameras or cameras to carry out reconnaissance and surveillance missions......," Xie Kai thought that in the future, special forces can use these drones to expand their field of vision and search a larger range in a shorter time......

"Do we have one in the country?"

"If you don't, you can apply. Xie Kai said, "Don't look at me, I'm just making a plan, not anything else." ”

"You continue. He Chao became interested, "We can train synthetically in peacetime, and even integrate the same troops when needed." All units must be selected for special operations......"

According to Xie Kai's construction model, then there is something to play.

"For example, the mixed artillery battalion, with 122-mm self-propelled howitzers as the main force, has increased the number of six guns in the artillery company to nine, and is equipped with a rocket artillery company, equipped with medium- and long-range anti-aircraft missiles and anti-armor missiles...... Xie Kai said more and more.

Tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, etc., equipped in a brigade, how fierce is the firepower?

mobility, which is unmatched by any unit in the entire country.

The firepower is even more formidable.

"As a matter of fact, there is just one principle: In the construction of our troops, we must make up for the shortcomings of heavy troops that are too heavy and have poor mobility, and light troops that are too light and not strong enough in firepower. It has the mobility of light troops, the firepower of heavy troops, etc., ......," Xie Kai continued.

There is no awareness of this at all in the country.

Even the US Army, after experiencing the embarrassment of "100 hours of cleaning up the battlefield" in the Gulf War and the embarrassment of "sitting on a cold bench for 78 days" in the Kosovo War in 1999, learned from the pain, and in order to solve the problem that the light troops are too light and the heavy troops are too heavy, and in order to accumulate experience for future force building, it has created a "Stryker" brigade that has aroused the learning of all countries around the world.

The domestic synthetic brigade is almost also built by learning from the "Stryker" brigade of the US military, of course, this is more in line with domestic needs and has its own characteristics. The performance of the equipment may be insufficient, but the combat ability is definitely not far behind, or even slightly exceeded.

"In this force, rapid deployment capabilities and ferocious firepower are really needed. But in this way, will the cost be too high?" Yang Bin asked, "The budget given above is not too much." ”

"The budget, that's what the military chiefs need to think about. No matter how poor the military is, a brigade can't afford to support it?" Xie Kai pouted and said, "I haven't said anything about building this unit with the ability to fight independently for 72 hours and the ability to deploy globally within 96 hours." ”

"72 hours of independent combat capability, this must have. For only three days and three nights, it was necessary to ensure that this unit could guarantee the continuation of the battle under any circumstances, and in the Red Army period, many of our troops fought in this way. As for the ability to deploy global operations in four days, even if we have large military transport planes and air tankers, we don't consider the cost of use, but is that in line with the basic national policy?" Tang Xin opened his mouth in surprise by Xie Kai.

Xie Kai's model, if in the US army, is entirely possible.

But not in China.

China has implemented the national defense principle of strategic defense, and has no overseas garrison bases, nor large military transport aircraft, let alone air tankers. The troops are not able to do it at home.

"Then build a nationwide 24-hour deployment combat capability. Anyway, logistics must keep up, and if we play exercises in the future, this unit can completely use this capability to test the capabilities of all units in the country. Xie Kai said.

"Establish an imaginary enemy force?" Even He Chao felt that Xie Kai had a big brain.

"Isn't it already established in China? On the Jinling side, isn't there a synthetic tactical training center modeled after the Fort Irwin base in the United States?" Xie Kai didn't know if that was built.

There should be.

The domestic blue army unit should have been established, and even other military regions may be engaged in it.

"It's been established, but it's not done to the satisfaction of the top. Tang Xin said, "We actually have this consideration on our side. ”

"We're going to be the supposed enemy of the Blues. That is, not only to clean up the other Red Army participating in the exercises in the country, but even the Blue Army that tested them, for us, it is also the Red Army, kill them, either cooperate with their commander, or kill the ......" Xie Kai was a little excited when he thought about it.

When I first watched the news, Zhu Rihe and the Blue Army Brigade at the training ground were in the limelight.

The troops participating in the exercise in the major military regions even shouted the slogan of "capturing Manchu Guangzhi alive and liberating Zhu Rihe."

Wasn't it for this reason that the garrison regiment was advised to engage in special warfare at the beginning?

"Don't look at me like that, didn't the chief of staff the United States have studied it? He knows the characteristics of their troops, right? And the combat characteristics of the Soviet army are also understood, and an information and intelligence center has been established to specifically analyze and study the combat methods of the US military and the Soviet Union. Let our troops be American today, Soviet troops tomorrow, and French ......troops the day after tomorrow," Xie Kai said with a saliva on his face.

He can't be involved in this, but he can watch from the sidelines.

When the time comes, the special operations brigade will make all the troops in the country cry and howl, shouting the slogan of "capture Xie Kai alive and liberate Qilian Mountain." How good it is.

"Moreover, this is also a good way, for example, every time, using our base as bait or something......"

"Stop, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Yang Bin said with a wry smile, "Xie Kai, you are so interested in army construction, why are you unwilling to enter a military academy and then become a general?"

Yang Bin and the others couldn't see the hope of becoming a general, but they knew that as long as Xie Kai was willing, with Xie Kai's things, he could become a general.

And even the youngest general of the republic.

However, Xie Kai had no intention of serving the country in the army.

"Let's talk about the equipment. Tang Xin also sighed.

He Chao said that Xie Kai was full of running trains and saying anything, which was relatively reliable at first, but after a while, it became imaginative, which is really no exaggeration.

Tang Xin's original intention was to ask Xie Kai to talk about the 359 tanks provided to the Special Operations Brigade.

However, Xie Kai didn't pick up at all.

"Weapons and equipment are really important. At present, tanks are not very suitable, armored vehicles are more suitable, especially wheeled armored vehicles, which have high mobility and strong firepower......" Xie Kai replied calmly.
