Chapter 163: Battle of Madagascar 4
"Alright, I just kidned you to liven up the atmosphere, now let's get down to business. Tell me about your army's plans. Our navy can support more than 1,700 small landing craft of your army, each of which can carry a squad of troops, which means that the army can transport more than 20,000 people for each landing. That is, you can log in every time, basically a division of troops. I can hand over these landing craft to you for training right now. Jarvis said:
Then Alvis said: "When our navy arrives, it is still easy to say, that is, soldiers from the naval system are naturally not afraid of the sea, but your army is not good, it is equivalent to training from scratch." The first thing to do is to overcome the high temperatures. Low temperature and vertigo problems. Because these landing craft are small boats, the degree of turbulence is very large. The average person will definitely get seasick. So you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about at the moment, you know that it's not so difficult for an army soldier to become a navy soldier. In the words of the chairman, it is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair. That's why I'm going to ask you to get the scriptures at first. Durabo said:
After hearing this, Yárvis shook his head and said, "I don't have this shortcut, even if the chairman is here, I'm afraid there is no way." ”
Just as Jarvis finished saying this, Li Puyu's voice came in from outside: "Who told me there is no way. ”
Then Li Puyu walked into the office of the two, and the two hurriedly got up to greet them. Li Puyu stopped and then said, "I just thought about the question you two said. I felt that it was basically impossible to have too little time, so I asked the base to hurry up and recruit two Marine Divisions. They will report to the naval station by tomorrow evening at the latest. Therefore, the army still devoted itself to the preparation of inland operations. The beachfront landing was carried out by the Marines. ”
After listening to Li Puyu's explanation, Durabo and Jarvis both became excited, but Jarvis spoke again: "Chairman, I don't have any opinion on our army rushing to land on the beach, but you know that the Marine Corps must have amphibious landing tanks and combat vehicles in terms of weapons and equipment, otherwise we won't be able to play around." ”
"You don't have to think about this, I've already thought about it for you. The Marine Corps will have an amphibious tank and an amphibious armored personnel carrier in service. They are the Alligator amphibious tank and the Hippopotamus personnel carrier. Li Puyu explained:
"Chairman, can you give me detailed data on these two types of equipment?" Yalvis says:
"Okay, data on these two weapons, amphibious tanks and amphibious armored vehicles. Let's start with the Alligator amphibious tank. Alligator amphibious tank: the whole vehicle weighs 18.4 tons, and the maximum power is 480 horsepower. The maximum travel is 500 km, it can withstand 4-5 sea breezes and carry 4 people. Armament of the main artillery 88 mm. Armed with one 12.7 mm machine gun and one 7.62 mm machine gun. There are 44 rounds of artillery ammunition, 1500 rounds of 12.7 mm machine gun rounds, 2000 rounds of 7.62 mm machine gun rounds. The maximum climb is 32 degrees. The data of the amphibious personnel carrier is: the total weight of the vehicle is 9.7 tons, the maximum horsepower is 490 horsepower, the maximum range is 600 kilometers, and the crew is 14 people. Can withstand wind force 3-4. Armed with a 35 mm gun and a 12.7 mm machine gun. 300 rounds of ammunition in reserve. 3000 rounds of bullets. The maximum climb is 32 degrees. Li Puyu quickly told the data of these two equipment.
Durabo and Jarvis were both high-ranking military generals, and naturally learned about the power of these weapons from these data. Especially as the commander of the Navy, Jarvis had an excited expression on his face. Then he recovered from the excitement and said: "Chairman, great, as long as my aircraft carriers and battleships are in place tomorrow, my navy will be a real navy." ”
Li Puyu said with a smile after hearing Yárvis's words: "That is, as long as we have enough time, your navy is not only a perfect naval army, but also a powerful navy. When the time comes, I will plant the African flag in every corner of the world. Where there is the sun, there is the fluttering of our African flag. ”
After listening to Li Puyu's words, Durabo and Yalvis collectively stood up and saluted Li Puyu, and said solemnly: "We are willing to follow in the footsteps of the chairman and obey the chairman's orders, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for this goal." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's complete the task in front of us first, the reward is very high. Therefore, you Durabo, you, Jarves and Hu Guang must cooperate well and strive to take the island of Madagascar at the lowest cost. Li Puyu said at this time:
"Please rest assured, Chairman that I have come to Commander Durabo to liberate the island of Madagascar, and I will complete this task carefully without your advice." Yalvis says:
