Chapter 1: Synthesis Battalion

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing.

When the bigwigs in the Western Theater were still studying the military reform plan from the Dragon Blade, the observation team sent by the Military Affairs Yuan had already rushed to the Dragon Blade and began to observe the military reform experiment that had attracted the attention of the bigwigs in an all-round way.

Originally, it was only limited to the military reform experiment of the dragon blade, but now the nature has changed - the bigwigs in the Western Theater can't say that they attach much importance to it compared to the Sixiang Building, right?

Attention must be based on data, not just words.

As a result, the Dragon Blade Headquarters gave the maximum support to the third detachment, and there were few people before? Well, give it! Anyway, there are so many elites eliminated in the second and third stages of purgatory training, and these elites who are eliminated by purgatory training are all treasures of various troops!

Doesn't it mean that there is insufficient funding for equipment and a serious shortage of equipment? Okay, approved!

With a wave of the headquarters' hand, a batch of combat vehicles and a batch of new equipment that were about to be eliminated were packed and sent to the third detachment.

The third detachment, which was originally less than 100 people, quickly swelled to 600 people in less than three days after the observation group of the Military Affairs Yuan was stationed, and this is not counting the troops borrowed from Major General Zeng Shan.

After Ye Xiao returned to the barracks after "being on leave", the original shabby third detachment had changed greatly, the morale of the radiant teams was high, and the mighty and domineering chariots were like hideous monsters......

What Ye Xiao didn't expect the most was that under the temptation of sufficient funds, the dispatch teams of the two arsenals were stationed in the station and were responsible for the equipment of the third detachment.

Qiu Yun and Zhao You, who finally waited for Ye Xiao to come back, didn't have time to pick up the wind and wash the dust for this kid, so they pulled Ye Xiao into the office.

"Warrant Officer Ye," Zhao You's tone was pantothenic, and the word warrant officer gritted his teeth even more, the officers of the empire were all admitted to the military academy after completing their two-year compulsory military service, and they were only hung up with the rank of trainee officer, how long did this grandson in front of him end the recruit training? He was even hung up with the rank of trainee officer!

"What do you think of this plan?"

Zhao You handed Ye Xiao a compilation plan and asked Ye Xiao to help straighten it out - this was the compilation plan that he and Qiu Yun had been busy for several days before finalizing it.

Since Ye Xiao got the theory of precision warfare, the two of them forgot to study and eat, but the more they studied this precision warfare model summarized by Ye Xiao, the more modest and cautious the two became, who told them that they already had signs of becoming Ye Xiao's brainless fans?

After all, Qiu Yun presided over the training of Ye Xiao at the beginning, and sometimes he couldn't pull his face, but Zhao You didn't have this concern, after all, since he saw Ye Xiao, the two had a feeling of happy cooperation, cough cough, it seemed that Ye Xiao was intentionally welcoming at the beginning?

Ye Xiao copied the specially regular compilation plan and carefully checked it.

It can be seen from this elaborate assumption that the two really accepted the theory of precision warfare, and they really had the intention to study it, although some of the establishment is not very reasonable, but I have to say that the answer given by the two is infinitely close to the establishment of the synthetic force.

It's not a loss to be the future Dragon Blade Commander and Imperial Lieutenant General!

Ye Xiao sighed in his heart, if he didn't return from rebirth, how could he be the turn to guide these two masters?

However, the current Ye Xiao should be said to be the person with the most knowledge of precision warfare in the world, even if it is the Japanese Alliance, which has begun to experiment with the synthetic force model, it may not have Ye Xiao's understanding of precision warfare!

"The core of precision warfare is precision warfare, eliminating the previous method of firepower covering operations, and limiting the potential of precision warfare is only communication! Therefore, we need to form a professional communications unit, which can also be called an information unit. ”

Ye Xiao wrote down the four words of the information unit on a blank piece of paper and explained to the two somewhat ignorant majors: "Although precision warfare has eliminated the combat mode of fire coverage and replaced it with more effective and accurate strikes, this requires a powerful communication system and intelligence integration system, and the information unit just corresponds to this." ”

"Effectively integrating the intelligence of various units within the communications system is the main task and guarantee of the information troops, so we need to set up a professional information unit."

Qiu Yun and Zhao You nodded, in the final analysis, the precision warfare in their cognition has always been imagined in their minds and in the exercise of observation, the third detachment of more than 80 people does not need information troops, but once there are many people, intelligence integration and communication support are undoubtedly very important.

"In addition, we also need a larger command structure, staff organization, in the past war practice, battalion-level units and even regiment-level units, the required command structure does not need to be so cumbersome, can be combined mode of troops, need to understand the battlefield in an all-round way, the complex battlefield becomes transparent, this requires an extremely large command and staff organs, I think with 600 to 800 battalion-level composite troops, at least more than 15 professional staff officers are needed."

"Hiss......" Zhao You and Qiu Yun gasped, the staff team of fifteen people, the division and brigade level command organization may not have so many, I didn't expect Ye Xiao to open his mouth so much!

Ye Xiao ignored the shock of the two and continued: "It's right to increase the fire support unit, but there is no need to increase the artillery, I think that with a composite battalion of six hundred people, three mortar platoons are enough, and there is no need for a larger infantry artillery group, but I think that a rocket artillery platoon can be added, and the deployment of missile troops is no problem, but the heavy tank company is completely unnecessary." ”

"Combat vehicles are not as useful as armored vehicles in the mode of precision warfare! Heavy combat vehicles do not have the speed of maneuvering, so they can be sent out, after all, when it comes to medium-range support, armored vehicles can be fully satisfied when loaded with small missiles! No matter how thick the armor of a heavy tank is, it can't carry missiles and armor-piercing shells, so there's no need to use it to slow down the speed. ”

"High mobility is a must, and if possible, my new infantry will be all armored infantry and spaceship infantry."

"In addition, because the composition of the composite battalion is complex and requires more professional logistics troops, we must turn at least one company into a logistics unit, a professional logistics unit!"

Zhao You looked at Ye Xiao's list of needs, and after silently calculating it, he asked: "According to your request, a composite battalion of 800 people, the number of soldiers is only sixty percent, is this equipment too low?" ”

Qiu Yun also stared at Ye Xiao, this question is also what he wants to ask, generally speaking, the number of battalion-level troops is about five hundred, and if it is highly configured, it is around six hundred, and the proportion of combatants is more than ninety, but Ye Xiao's requirement, a battalion-level unit of more than six hundred people, has less than four hundred combatants.

"So in my imagination, a standard composite battalion should be between 800 and 900 people, remove nearly 300 auxiliary arms, and combat soldiers between 500 and 600, and such a composite battalion is an independent combat unit, strong battalions, weak regiments, and reinforced brigades and divisions, which is the essence of composite troops, and even the regimental level can be eliminated in the establishment, taking a standard synthetic brigade as an example, eight to ten composite battalions can be configured, and then five to eight conventional battalions and a number of logistics units can be formed."

"Army Aviation Forces, so command must be delegated to the level of synthetic brigades!"

Qiu Yun knocked on the table, and only after a while did he ask, "Is the heavy chariot really outdated?" ”

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, the empire has the world's largest cluster of heavy chariots, and these steel monsters form the steel backbone of the empire, and no one is comfortable with a negative chariot cluster like himself!

But this is the case, with the change of war mode, the cluster of heavy tanks has been eliminated, and if the empire does not abandon the terrifying cluster of gold-devouring monsters, the future will inevitably be limited in the rest of the way!

"Although it is cruel, sir, believe me, the heavy chariots have lost their effectiveness, and the clustered chariot groups, under precision warfare, have gone from the enemy's nightmare to their own nightmare!"

Ye Xiao said categorically: "Once our third detachment has formed combat effectiveness, we can practice with our neighbors to verify whether it is correct!" ”
