Compared with other countries in the world, the number of military personnel in the eastern countries is the largest, more than twice that of the United States, which is the largest military force in the world! With so many armies, is it really strong in combat?

Of course not!

"Our army is bloated with organs at all levels." That night, I met Luo Ronggen during dinner and talked about it together.

In fact, when this order was issued, there was already a huge shock in the entire army, and the relevant people were talking about it, and Luo Ronggen, as a soldier, of course, also had his own views on this.

There are a lot of troops, but are they really more in the soldiers?

Of course not!

After all, Luo Ronggen is an internal member of the army, and he is also an expert in looking at problems: "Take our lower-level troops as an example, there are all kinds of personnel, such as regiment-level secret officers, battalion-level typists, and so on. The ratio of officers and soldiers can be seen from 1 to 4.65 in the Soviet Union, 1 to 10 in the Federal Republic of Germany, and 1 to 17 in France. 1 to 2.45! ”

That is to say, two and a half people, just against one officer, there are so many officers, almost all of them are leaders. The real number of troops fighting is not much.

It's like a factory, big and small are officials, and there are not many people in the first-line production workshop, where is such a factory competitive?

In the era of state-owned enterprises, they all relied on their superiors to pay salaries, and they lived a good life, but after the restructuring, they were suddenly in the ranks of laid-off workers.

"This cut is good, after the cut, there will be more funds to spare, and more equipment can be exchanged for the army." Qin Zhenhua said that when it comes to this matter, as a military research and development personnel, of course he is willing to see it.

Military spending is certain, and if there are so many fewer people, the expenditure on military salaries will naturally be reduced, and the excess funds can be invested in the improvement of equipment, which is a good thing for military factories.

Of course, for those who are going to be laid off, the inner complexity can be imagined.

The news of disarmament has been released a long time ago, but in the course of operations in the past few years, it has been repeated over and over again, and even after the layoffs, the personnel have become even more bloated.

"There are cuts, but there are also increases. This is a big reform. Luo Ronggen said: "All the armies are changing, and eventually they will form a synthetic operation of the group army, and moreover, a special army aviation unit will be formed, and now, our army can also plug in steel wings." ”

In foreign countries, army aviation is very common, a tree-high helicopter, should have belonged to the army, however, in China, everything that can fly, must be handed over to the air force jurisdiction, therefore, all military helicopters in the country belong to the air force or naval aviation.

The army does not have aviation, and this time it can be regarded as a blank to be filled.

This is also good for the Army.

"Helicopters are inherently the natural enemies of tanks." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, if the army has a helicopter, it will definitely take our tanks." ”

Luo Ronggen put down the dishes and chopsticks and glanced at Qin Zhenhua solemnly: "Yes, sure enough, they all say that you are the most powerful and have the most unique vision, and you can see this at a glance." ”

Disarmament is a big project for the whole army, Qin Zhenhua can't manage so much, what he can manage is what he can get from it, and now the most important thing is to have more military spending to buy equipment, and the challenge is this armed helicopter.

In the past for a long time, tanks were the hegemon on land, known as the king of land warfare, this is absolutely true, World War II, tank battles on the European battlefield again and again, it is even more blood-pumping, I can't wait to be born decades early, but also to witness together.

Qin Zhenhua used to be this enthusiast, and he fantasized countless times that if he let himself choose, he must go to the Tiger Style or the Tiger King to enjoy it, that is the real tank, and he wants to go to the T-34?

And after World War II, helicopter gunships and anti-tank missiles appeared, and when this combination appeared, the land hegemon of tanks already had a real threat.

If you take out the two heads-up, the tank has no chance of winning.

That's right, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the turret of the tank, but if, after discovering the enemy's helicopter gunship, the tankman even comes out to break through with the machine gun, he is just seeking a kind of psychological comfort, look, how good I am, sample, I won't kill you!

It's just a psychological feeling, to boost morale, and let the big guy know that we can also fight, in fact, birds are useless.

Anti-aircraft machine guns, how far can they shoot? One or two kilometers were killed, and the helicopter gunships were fired three or four kilometers away, not to mention that people were up and down, left and right, front and back, and they could hide as much as they wanted!

If you want to hit a helicopter, you have to have an anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of more than 20 mm!

Now, as soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, Luo Ronggen smiled: "How is it, are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid? What are we afraid of, one thing is one thing, and it is not our tank at all that is dealing with helicopter gunships. It's a fighter! ”

Are gunships powerful? You have to kneel when you see a fighter! Not to mention the modern third-generation aircraft, even if it is the J-5 and J-6 equipped in its own troops, with a Thunderbolt missile, it can beat down the helicopter gunship.

You've flown into the sky, and you've come to the ground to bully people, what kind of ability are you? Of the others who can fly into the sky, which one can't beat you?

Looking at the wars that broke out in those few times, we can also know that only when we have absolute air supremacy, the helicopter sortie is safe, otherwise, it is easy to be knocked down by fighters.

"Yes, you're right, but what if you don't have outside help?" Luo Ronggen [16k] said.

"If you're on your own, it's complicated." Qin Zhenhua said: "Our tank unit needs to be accompanied by automatic anti-aircraft artillery, if there is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun like the Shilka River, the armed helicopter will definitely hide far away." ”

It was a four-barreled 23mm anti-aircraft gun, and the four barrels fired together, forming a barrage!

"It's a pity, we don't have it in China, I think, we encountered a helicopter gunship, so it's better to admit defeat directly." Qin Zhenhua said.

This kind of battle is not able to fight in the first place.

"Yes, we didn't have it originally, but aren't we making up for the shortcomings over the years? Now in China, there is a twin-mounted 37-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun under development, which still uses the chassis of the 79 tank. ”
