Chapter XXXII Weapons Training Grounds
The following is the text of the novel (Author: Melody Sunshine) provided for you, please enjoy!
Zhang Shaojie first took everyone to the armored vehicle training ground to visit.
The training ground was built in a hilly and swampy area, which was equipped with various obstacle structures, and six American-style "Abrams" main battle tanks were being trained, some were climbing and crossing ditches, and some were wading across rivers and beaches. Not far away, there are also 8 M113A2 American-made full-tracked amphibious infantry fighting vehicles are being trained in harsh conditions such as jungles, mountains, swamps, and rice fields.
Zhang Shaojie pointed to the armored vehicles being trained and said: "The Thunder headquarters has 6 of the most advanced American-made tanks and 8 armored personnel carriers, and these advanced mobile equipment have played a huge role in the battles in which Thunder has participated many times. ”
"Mr. Zhang, you mercenaries can also use these armored vehicles to carry out their missions?" Geng Daoshen asked puzzled.
"Of course! For example, in the battle to help Rwanda, Angola and other countries quell the rebellion of the first army, we made full use of the characteristics of strong mobility, fierce firepower, and outstanding defensive performance of tanks to break through the enemy's defense line in a very short time, eliminate the enemy's living forces, and smash the military rebellion launched by some soldiers, which is difficult to do by a single assault. Zhang Shaojie replied.
After looking at the training ground for armored vehicles, everyone came to the airfield.
The airfield has a 500-meter-long take-off and landing runway for fighter jets and a 2,400-meter-long runway for Class 4C civil aircraft.
On one side of the tarmac are four F-4 American-made fighter jets, and on the other side of the tarmac is a 737-200 Boeing airliner. Four Black Hawk helicopters were parked in a wide open field.
Dozens of mercenary soldiers dressed in different flight suits were already lined up at the airport, ready to board the plane for flight training.
"Mr. Zhang, in our impression, most of the mercenaries are mainly individual assaults armed with advanced firearms, and we have never heard of tanks and planes like you." Bi Jingrong said.
"Yes, until now, most mercenary organizations are still using the same method, and we started deploying this large mobile equipment a few years ago, and it has proven that this equipment plays a role in critical moments that cannot be matched by manpower. For example, in this military coup, the other side used 8 advanced tanks to crush the anti-coup army, but fortunately, we had anti-tank Black Hawk helicopters to destroy it and gain the initiative on the battlefield, otherwise the outcome of this battle will be difficult to predict. So advanced equipment can sometimes be the decisive factor in the success or failure of the battlefield! Zhang Shaojie said.
This is something that everyone has personally experienced, and it is also a living successful example of aircraft fighting tanks in front of us, and everyone certainly agrees with Zhang Shaojie's statement.
When everyone came to the conventional weapons training ground, they saw more than a dozen mercenary soldiers making 'Metal Storm' submachine guns and conducting live-fire training.
Zhang Shaojie said: "In this anti-coup military operation, Thunder used two such submachine guns to tightly suppress more than 2,000 coup soldiers in the People's Palace Square, so that they could not storm the building, so that the delegations of both sides participating in the talks were safe and sound." ”
Although I have heard of the light weapon that fires 240,000 rounds per minute, when I saw the real thing, everyone present was still shocked by its extremely powerful lethality and the stormy sound.
During the visit, Vice Premier Ding Deping paid great attention to the equipment construction of the Thunder Headquarters, because this great historical man who devoted his whole life to the building of the Chinese army, although he is now assuming the role of the chief architect of China's reform, opening up, and modernization, he is still concerned about the reform of the Chinese army and the development of weapons and equipment.
When listening to Zhang Shaojie's introduction of the tremendous role played by these advanced equipment of the Thunder Headquarters in previous battles, his mind returned to the arduous war years. It is true that the use of millet plus rifles to defeat the enemy can be written about in a big way, but if there are better conditions and more advanced weapons, the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation will be rewritten, and the number of comrades who died will be greatly reduced. While the human factor is important, weaponry is also a key factor in winning on the battlefield. Implementing the strategy of strengthening the armed forces through science and technology, speeding up the research and development of new types of equipment and weapons, and promoting the development of weapons and equipment are important guarantees for winning future local wars. It seems that it is time for Huaxia to make a big effort in this regard.
After visiting the weapons training ground and taking a short rest, everyone took an open-top car to visit the wilderness survival training ground.
TB Wilderness Survival Training Ground, covering an area of more than 20 hectares, is mostly rare primeval forests and uninhabited swamps, mountains, rivers and lakes. The forest is often infested with fierce beasts, and there are many crocodiles in the water, which is the place where the law of the jungle can be best exemplified, and it is an excellent place for survival training in the wild.
On the way, we saw the primeval forests and countless rare trees, the endless savannahs and countless groups of migrating animals, the Congo River, the second largest river in the world, and the shock, excitement and danger when crossing the world's second largest tropical rainforest.
