Chapter 542: Pre-War Training
Combined with the actual situation of Niels, Lin Dong gave him a most pertinent reorganization plan.
Because the main opponent is the rebels, the demand for a lot of modern weapons and equipment is not very large, after all, the opponent will not have too many heavy weapons in their hands, so they only need to maintain a certain equipment advantage.
"But the number of armored vehicles must be increased!" Lin Dong looked at Nils and said solemnly.
"Although the opponent may not have many heavy weapons, the heavy machine guns are still very sufficient, and in a fight, this will cause a lot of damage to our soldiers.
Compared to those rebels, we are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, so it is very important to ensure that we have a living force in our hands! ”
"And at this stage, the weapons on the armored vehicle are enough to provide the fire support required by the army, so it can temporarily replace the role of the main battle tank."
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the price of tanks is too great, Nils can't be reluctant at all, if there are only two or three, it can not play a big role, so Lin Dong simply abandoned this one.
"The number of artillery pieces must not be less!" Lin Dong said again.
"Whether it is used to defend the city or cover the surprise attack of the soldiers, it is inseparable from the powerful firepower of artillery, and this can also deter the other party, so that they do not dare to assemble on a large scale to attack the Bria."
At this point, Lin Dong felt that Nils had done a very good job, and the ten 120mm howitzers in his hands were definitely able to change the form of battle.
However, Lin Dong's suggestion was to let him add some small and medium-caliber mortars, such as the Huaxia Type 86 120mm mortar, or the M-224 Type 60mm mortar.
Compared with howitzers, the advantage of mortars is that they are light and flexible, and one or two people can carry them around, because its trajectory is curved, and it can shoot close to the target, and there are almost no shooting dead spots. Even the enemy behind those hills and other obstacles can't hide from its attacks, so mortars are suitable for almost any battlefield environment.
Because of these advantages, the mortar has been an effective suppression weapon to support and accompany infantry operations since its inception, and it is an extremely important conventional weapon for infantry.
Even though it has been 100 years since today, the mortar is more like a stubborn "old man", coldly looking at all kinds of high-tech weapons and competing for beauty, while he quietly occupies a place in the army's equipment.
"Then there's the need for enough RPGs, which are big kills in close combat, and the best choice for dealing with the opponent's armored vehicles and machine gun positions."
Listening to Lin Dong's words, Nils secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, the head of the dragon god didn't really open his mouth, if the other party asked for any tanks, combat vehicles, armed helicopters or something, he really didn't have that capital.
Now what the other side said, in addition to the fact that armored vehicles are more expensive, things like mortars or RPGs are easy for Nils.
Looking at Lin Dong, Nils patted his chest and said, "Dragon God Leader, you can rest assured." I've got all this stuff in my hands.
But I hope that by the time I get all this equipment back, you'll be able to train enough soldiers to use them proficiently.
After all, the pace of war is getting closer and closer, and we don't have much time to prepare! ”
Lin Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I will let you see our results with your own eyes!" ”
After the matter was discussed, Lin Dong left the command camp, and Nils also drove away from the barracks.
Normally, Nils would not live in the barracks, but he had an ultra-luxurious manor in Bria, which was forced by the current situation to stay in the barracks.
Coming to the training ground, Lin Dong stood by and looked at the two thousand recruits who were training.
Ben's second squad of six people, plus the four of Wall, was exactly ten people, each responsible for two hundred soldiers, divided into ten training phalanxes.
Like Bout, their training methods are the same, but now they are more simple and crude. As soon as you see someone making a mistake, then walk over it with a leash and repeat until you get it right.
This kind of training method reminded Lin Dong of the animal trainers of those acrobatic troupes.
But this is also a last resort, after all, these soldiers are just ordinary people who come to Nils at the sign of signs, and just by saying or scolding, then it is estimated that the training instructor will not learn anything by exhausting him to death in a day.
Only in this way do they slowly form a conditional launch because of the pain in their bodies, and react instinctively whenever they hear commands.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Dong found that these soldiers were almost out of the recruit period, after all, they had been training for nearly a month before, and it seemed that there was already a hint of prohibition on it.
When the training was over, Lin Dong gathered everyone together to discuss the next training program.
"I think these guys are almost trained and it's time for live fire. This is their top priority, otherwise when they get to the battlefield, the gun in their hand will not hit the enemy, what is the difference between it and holding a burning stick! ”
Everyone else nodded approvingly.
"Boss, this Nils is so stingy, just a complete miser!" Ben grumbled.
"Originally, we thought that shooting and physical training would be done together, so that it would save time and improve training efficiency.
But that guy was worried about wasting bullets, so he insisted that we train them before firing live ammunition. Now we can only let these guys use a stick as a gun! ”
Hearing Ben's words, Lin Dong suddenly shook his head and smiled.
He could understand Nils's approach, after all, now that the war was imminent, there were more places to spend money. Now I am afraid that the Central African government is poorer than him, so it is obviously unrealistic to rely on those people.
For the sake of his decades of inheritance, now Niels has also been freed.
"I'll tell Nils about this, live-fire training is absolutely indispensable. And he also needs to make up for the missing weapons as soon as possible, at least an automatic rifle for everyone! ”
For what Lin Dong proposed, Nils naturally will not slack off, in the final analysis, Lin Dong and they are just part-time workers, what these recruits can really train into, the real direct relationship is he Nils.
As the training progressed, Nils really saw their growth.
This made Nils, who had always been terrified, finally have a little confidence, and now the whole of Central Africa has begun to be in chaos during this time.
Now the expatriates of various countries have almost been evacuated, and some even the people in the embassies have left.
Central African President Bozi also had a premonition of the inevitability of war, and while secretly strengthening the defenses of the capital Bangui and some developed cities in the south, he secretly asked France and the United States for help.
