Chapter 297: We have to further strengthen our army's air strike firepower!

Wars are fought with real money and a country's overall overall strength.

After Yang Weiping returned to China, he focused on the construction of the national defense industry, but now that the war is coming, his efforts have also been tested in practice.

Of course, it is right to contribute to the cause of national defense, but on the premise of not violating the principle, it is also reasonable and legal for him to receive a part of the orders for enterprises with private investment.

Logistics support covers a lot of areas.

There are some products that domestic military enterprises cannot do, so Yang Weiping can certainly invest in them himself.

Chewing gum like this refreshing function is a set of chewing gum production lines imported from the United States by Cecil Marine Investment Company, which is specially tailored and developed for the military.

In addition to this chewing gum, there is also a series of high-calorie, high-energy, high-protein convenience field foods.

Everything you eat is a one-time consumable, and you have to repeat it every day. It looks insignificant, but it's quite profitable.

Before the war, Yang Weiping specially asked Zhang Mingcheng, CEO of Cecil Marine Investment Company, to donate a batch of chewing gum that had been prepared long ago to the Southern Military Region in the name of condolences from the labor army. Then he handed over the logistics department of the Southern Military Region to the participating units.

Candy, in this era of extreme scarcity, is a food that both adults and children like. Many state-owned food factories in China have donated a large number of biscuits, fruit candy, toffee, fruits, canned food and other materials to the frontline troops. On the premise of not violating the principles, Yang Weiping only reasonably sought some personal interests for himself, and at the same time opened the door for the development of our army's field food.

Historically, in the first three days of the war, our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which several thousand officers and soldiers died in battle alone. Pay such a big price. The speed at which the troops advanced and penetrated was also not ideal, and naturally no gratifying results were achieved.

Now, the first day of the war. Even before 24 hours passed, our army not only scored an unprecedentedly brilliant victory, but also controlled the number of casualties to a figure that commanders at all levels of the Southern Military Region and the Southwest Military Region could not believe: The total number of officers and men killed in the two major battlefields of the Eastern Front and the Western Front was only 109. Nine hundred and forty-two people were seriously and lightly wounded.

Compared with the Annan army, according to preliminary statistics, more than 4,000 Annan officers and soldiers were annihilated. More than 300 people were captured.

FROM THE CAPTURED WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT OF THE ANNAMITE ARMY, IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THE ENEMY HAS EQUIPPED 14.5MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS TO PLATOON-LEVEL TROOPS, INCLUDING A LARGE NUMBER OF TWIN-MOUNTED HIGH-ALTITUDE MACHINES AND QUADRUPLE-MOUNTED HIGH-ALTITUDE MACHINES, 12.7MM HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, AND EVEN THE MILITIA OF THE PUBLIC SECURITY TUN IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF THEM. This situation made Xu Shangyou, Zha Yusheng and other high-level commanders break out in a cold sweat at that time.

If it hadn't been for the military confrontation exercise arranged by Yang Weiping, and if so many mechanized armored vehicles had not been used, it would still have been based on the old tactics of crowds. Charging with the red flag held high, how many people will have to die!

Because our army's special reconnaissance units had made a large number of enemy military deployments before the start of the war, they almost completely wiped out the missile positions and heavy artillery positions deployed by the Annan Army on the defensive line at the first opportunity. The Air Force has even achieved absolute air supremacy, laying a solid foundation for our army to win this battle.

The officers and men on the front line fought well, and the commanders in the rear were of course smiling. Beaming.

No, Monk Xu finally felt relaxed and happy, and deliberately took time to accompany Director Xiao Yang to inspect the logistics work.

Xu Shangyou now has a more profound understanding of the concept that Yang Weiping instilled in him that "modern warfare is fought with logistical support."

Xu Shangyou has been fighting all his life, and I don't know how many battles he has fought in Ludao, but a happy and comfortable battle like today is still the first time in his life.

He never thought that it would be possible to march and fight without burying pots and cooking, and what is even more outrageous is that the logistics unit has even specially equipped the troops with a variety of wartime support for the soldiers to bathe and wash their clothes, such as field shower trucks, laundry trucks, and water purification trucks.

With such extravagant logistics support, coupled with so many advanced weapons and equipment, if this battle is not fought well, he Xu Da Monk should also find a piece of tofu and crash to death.

Even so, in Yang Weiping's eyes, he still feels that all this is too backward.

The digital force composed of individual digital tactical equipment should be the development direction of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

The Type 63 tracked armored vehicle obviously cannot keep up with the speed of the Siberian Tiger main battle tank. We must find a way to get out the Type 92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles of our army as soon as possible.

In addition, the actual combat effect of the Air Force's Qiangwu attack aircraft made Yang Weiping discover a variety of shortcomings of the Qiangwu. After reading the operational summary report handed over by the Air Force, Yang Weiping's mind immediately came up with the US military's subsonic strike aircraft A-10 Warthog.

The A10 Warthog is still in its first generation, and this low-altitude strike aircraft is not an important strategic weapon. The U.S. military even sold the F14A Tomcat openly, got dozens of A10 Warthogs back, and then upgraded them to A10U Ghosts, I believe that the U.S. military will be very interested in this modification project.

On the first day of the war, the results achieved by our army basically satisfied Yang Weiping.

It's just that more than 100 soldiers were sacrificed and nearly 1,000 people were injured. This is very heart-wrenching for him, who is full of the concept of zero casualties on the battlefield of the US army in the future.

He doesn't know much about military command, so he won't point fingers indiscriminately. He went to the front line to check the logistics and listen to the fighters' opinions on the use of various types of new equipment.

It's 1979, a coup d'état is about to break out in Iran, and the Iran-Iraq war is about to begin. As long as there is a war in the Middle East, the price of this oil will definitely rise. Jessica had to be notified early to see how she could use that information to make a big deal in oil futures.

By the end of the year, the Soviet Union should have invaded Afghanistan. The decade-long war in Afghanistan has almost drained the Soviet Union's national economy, and if you don't want the Soviet Union to disintegrate in 1991 as it has historically done, you have to find a way to help Lao Maozi alleviate a little loss.

During this time, the Rock Mercenaries have experienced a lot of actual battles in the mountains and jungles of Vietnam, and it is time for the Rock Mercenaries to make a name for themselves in the world.

The coup d'état in Iran, the hostage crisis of 1979, must have happened. If the Rock mercenaries can free the hostages of the US Embassy in Iran, it will not only make the Rock a famous fight, but also possibly make the current US President Carter more in office.

Comrade Carter is a good comrade! He is the most non-anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese president in US history, and of course we must find a way to make Comrade Carter's term of office as long as possible.

As long as Carter is in power, Yang Weiping can hold the banner of United States to resist the Soviet Union, and try his best to bring back all the good things that the United States imperialism has, and then copy them!

The United States has an F14A Tomcat, so we have to have a J-11 Panda!

The United States has an AH1W cobra, so we have to have a WZ1 silver krait!

The U.S. imperialist has a UH60 Black Eagle, so we have to have a straight nine golden eagle!

The U.S. imperialist has C130 Hercules, so we have to have the god of luck Jiuerlang!

The United States has C5 Galaxy, so we must have ten days of luck!

The US imperialists have ...... , then we must have ......

As long as we beat the Annan monkey down here, solve the Iranian hostage incident over there, and have Comrade Carter as the president of US imperialism, everything is possible for us!

Of course, there is a long way to go on the road of independent research and development, but it will definitely go through a long process. In the past ten years, there have been Annan monkeys accompanying us in Langshan round battles, and the imitation has to be imitated, and the cottage is the king!

War is the best way to explode equipment. A large amount of equipment will certainly further stimulate the high-speed development of China's military heavy industry. The upgrading of various types of industrial technology through cottages will definitely lay a solid foundation for independent innovation in the future.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Weiping's mouth couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

"I said, Director Yang, what are you thinking about?" Xu Shangyou saw the ill-intentioned smile on Yang Weiping's face, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is there anything good that can be taken out to teach Annan, the white-eyed wolf, a lesson?"

"I wondered if our army's air strike power was still not strong, and whether I would get something good from the Yankees. Yang Weiping nodded happily and replied: "I think that if you can use the air force to solve the threat, try not to trouble the soldiers of the army to take risks."

The A10 attack aircraft and AC130 air gunboats in service in the US military are all good things, and they have all been tested in actual combat on the battlefield of Annam. When I get these two good treasures out of the hands of the Yankees, I want to let the monkeys of Annan have a good understanding of what asymmetric warfare is!"

"There's no need, right? Director Yang, our army's current equipment advantage has completely suppressed the Annan monkeys" Xu Shangyou pouted and smiled: "However, Wu Yuanjia is still a bit of a brain." He ordered the enemy's 346th, 345th, and 316A divisions to be reduced to pieces, so as to preserve their vitality and strength to fight guerrillas against our army. Strategically correct, but he should not forget that our army is the ancestor of guerrilla warfare!"

Hearing Xu Shangyou say this, Yang Weiping immediately understood that the commander must be planning to adopt the method of clearing and suppressing the nets to eliminate the remnants of the enemy. Moreover, the current record has already made Monk Xu a little flustered.

In the 50s, our army did have rich experience in suppressing bandits in western Hunan and the great southwest, but if this experience is applied to the regular army of Annam, which is rich in guerrilla warfare in jungles and mountains, it will definitely suffer a great loss and increase the casualties of the officers and men on the front line.

"Commander Xu, the reason why the U.S. army was defeated and withdrawn from Annan was because of the heavy losses of the guerrilla tactics of the army in Annan. Yang Weiping smiled and said solemnly: "If we want to wipe out the Annan army in the Gaoping area, our army must be fully ideologically prepared and equipped with special combat vehicles and equipment! I hope that the blood of our soldiers will not be exchanged for the cheap life of the Annan monkeys!"

Seeing that Yang Weiping said so seriously and solemnly, Xu Shangyou immediately dispelled the trace that had just arisen in his heart, and said: "The Rock Mercenary has taught me a vivid lesson to Xu Shangyou! Director Yang, please rest assured, I will definitely not take it lightly!" (To be continued.) )
