Chapter 261: Standing Army
Now when he was in charge of the Skull Gang for Majd and thinking about the problem from the perspective of being in charge of the overall situation, Gao Yang realized how meaningful it was to bring down Bososa.
Ulyanko is just across the bay, just a short stretch of water, and Ulyanko has built a safe smuggling channel in Mukara, so that if the Skulls can afford to pay for it, Ulyanko will be able to get a fortune.
Arms are very expensive, the third-generation fighter is at least tens of millions of dollars, and the fourth-generation fighter is at least hundreds of millions, and these things are not something that big countries can't afford to play at all, but they are also very cheap, because guns and ammunition and things like cannons and small cannons that have lagged behind for decades must also belong to the category of arms, but the price can buy a gun from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, and the price of a rocket artillery is tens of thousands of dollars.
New types of aircraft, tanks, artillery, these things the financial resources of the entire Somali country cannot afford to buy, as for the Skeleton Gang, they don't even think about it, it is completely unrealistic, but with the financial resources of the Skeleton Gang, it is completely possible to build an army that can walk sideways in Somalia.
Equipped with a few T54/55 tanks, more than a dozen or twenty armored vehicles, hundreds of mortars, and dozens of Type 63 107mm rocket launchers, such firepower is too exaggerated to hit all over Somalia, but taking Bososa is definitely a matter of play.
The problem now is that the Skeletons have enough money to buy these relatively heavy equipment, and Ulyanko can provide them, but the only problem is that they can't get into the hands of the Skeletons.
There is no port in the territory of the Skull Gang, and the Type 63 rocket launcher is already the limit of what they can achieve by ship. Because of the need to transfer cargo from cargo ships to fishing vessels. When approaching the coast. It is then transferred from the fishing boat to the speedboat, and finally the cargo can be brought ashore by speedboat, and this way of transporting goods obviously cannot transport any heavy equipment.
As long as Bososa is defeated, then the Skull Gang is not just a matter of controlling a big city and controlling more population, the key is that Bososa has a deep-water port, of course. This deep-water port is also relatively speaking, the water depth and equipment cannot meet the needs of the 10,000-ton giant ship, but for the Skull Gang, with Bososa, the materials they need can be unloaded directly at the port.
In addition to having a deep-water port, there are many advantages to taking down Bososa, such as the Skeleton Gang will have more troops, and the corresponding sea area that can control zhì will be larger, these benefits are visible, although there are also disadvantages to defeating Bososa, such as the Skeleton Gang will be exposed to international vision. It would also be a cause for concern for the more powerful armed factions in Somalia.
Gao Yang can now be said to be indeed controlling the Skull Gang, and the soldiers and civilians are willing to listen to him. With the full support of Majd, and the training and expansion of the teaching company has also made good progress, but Gao Yang has never made up his mind about whether to attack Bososa.
In a certain sense, the attack on the Skull Gang is also a good thing, at least the people of the Skull Gang will no longer be naïve to think that they can always develop peacefully, whether they want to or not, war will come to the door, and the entire Skull Gang is now in a state of preparation.
For Gao Yang and them, the advantage of being attacked is that people can see the power of the teaching company, and let everyone, including Mayid, understand that their money is not taken for nothing, and without the training company they trained, and without the artillery they trained, the Skeleton Gang would not be able to continue to save at all.
Nearly a month had passed since the British and the Mocadians launched a joint attack, and the attack that Gao Yang had been fearing had not returned, but the supplies urgently purchased from Ulyanko in preparation for war had arrived.
There is a buffer period of one month, the teaching company has basically completed the most preliminary training, as for the strength of the teaching company, it depends on who the opponent is, if the teaching company is put on the world stage, the combat effectiveness can only be said to be average, but it is just an ordinary regular army that can no longer be ordinary, but in Somalia, the teaching company is an elite division, and if the number of people fights against each other, the teaching company can be called invincible.
The current standing military strength of the Skeleton Gang, plus the training company, is maintained at the scale of 1,000 people, because he is worried that he will be attacked again, so in order to improve his combat power as much as possible, Gao Yang bought another 500 AK74s, plus the 500 AK74s that he had already bought, to redress all the standing troops of this thousand people.
The next thing to do is training, although there is only one month, and the instructor is also a soldier of the teaching company, but it is only a month, and they still succeed in giving the standing army of the Skull Gang a new look.
In the past month, there is only one item in the training syllabus that Gao Yang has formulated, that is, discipline, in addition to discipline or discipline, all the training content is just to make this guerrilla who had no discipline at all before disperse and learn to obey orders.
The teaching company is taught by Li Jinfang, and the standing army is taught by the company, so the individual movements of the standing army inevitably have a strong Chinese flavor, and the training has lasted for a month, the content is very simple, walk right, stand in line, and then the most basic tactical actions, such as lying down with a gun, lying down with a gun, and crawling forward, and the rest is at most to let these standing troops know how to use the rifle in their hands, what is the correct shooting posture, and there is dozens of bullets per person shooting training, there is nothing else, just a few simple to the extreme content and actions。
The content is very simple, but the effect is very good, the soldiers of the Skeleton Gang can't shoot accurately, the coordinated tactics between the squad and platoon are not at all, and they haven't even been taught how to throw grenades, but it's such a simple thing, repeating mechanical training in a short period of time, but the soldiers of the Skeleton Gang finally learned to obey orders.
The current Skeleton Gang has been able to fight according to the order, let the fight be fought, let the stop stop, there is no problem in doing this, so they have broken away from the category of the guerrilla and become a qualified recruit, as for when the battle situation is unfavorable, the commander orders the charge Whether these soldiers will turn around and run, this has to be known through actual combat.
If it can be achieved in the case of heavy casualties, it can still rush up after receiving orders, then this army is a real elite soldier, even if the technical and tactical actions are very poor, but it can be ordered and prohibited, in Gao Yang's view, this is an elite soldier.
Of course, the Skeleton Gang's troops are now only barely called a force, and whether they have truly become elite soldiers who can do what they can do is only known after the test of war, but Gao Yang has no doubt that as long as he is given enough time and enough time for the Skeleton Gang, the Standing Army of the Skeleton Gang will inevitably grow into an elite team, and it is an ace force that can be used to attack cities and plunder land in Somalia.
