Chapter 449: A Neglected Unit in the War

After the selection of multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles and anti-aircraft tracked vehicles, the construction tasks on the tank page are already scheduled for 320 days.

It is understandable that so much time is being spent on building main battle weapons.

In fact, the combat vehicle unit that Li Lan most wants to consider building now is the self-detonation truck, this truck with an explosion power of 50,000 tons of TNT equivalent, dozens of vehicles can make an ordinary city face a boundless disaster, which is really terrifying and abnormal. (The front is gorgeous and wrong!) When Mogadishu was bombed, it was written as 100,000 tons...... )

Of course, this weapon is a double-sided sword, and if you hurt yourself before you hurt others, the result will be even more tragic.

Therefore, so far, Li Lan has produced about 200 such trucks, and at the first time of production, he was sent far away from people to prevent it from affecting himself. As for how a truck with a load capacity of no more than 20 tons can burst out with the power of 50,000 tons of TNT, Li Lan has never been able to figure it out. There are too many things in the base that I don't understand, one more is not more, and one less is not less, and maybe there will be answers in the future.

This time, Li Lan also wanted to send self-detonating trucks to the three war zones many times, but he abandoned them.

Don't look at the power of the self-detonating truck, but there are also many restrictions. A single cannonball can cause it to explode on its own, and the impact is extremely widespread. And it is absolutely impossible to quietly deliver such a truck to the enemy's position.

Of course, there is no way to do it, just like Mogadishu, to give up the city and then detonate the self-exposure truck. But in order not to further touch the bottom line of the coalition army's decisive battle, and he didn't want to destroy his other two cities.

Especially Hargeisa. This is the original capital of Somaliland, which has been in operation for more than ten years. Somaliland, which is relatively peaceful, has also developed well and can be called the first modern city in Somalia. In addition to the economy, in terms of urban construction, the original Bossaso is far behind.

Destroying a city with such a foundation, Li Lan has not been so defeated. After all, the time and money it would take to build such a city would be astronomical. Unless Hargeisa has been destroyed to the level of Mogadishu, it will be difficult for him to make such a determination.

In Li Lan's eyes, this weapon can hurt others and can harm oneself, and the best way to use it is to use it on the territory of other countries. In their own land or in a city, it is really not suitable to use this weapon of mass destruction one after another.

Of course, it would not be bad if Li Lan could one day produce an unprecedented super-launch vehicle capable of delivering nearly 30 tons of self-detonating trucks to the territory of other countries. It's just that the idea is not realistic, and it is difficult to do it with today's technology.

In fact, in terms of the tactical use of self-detonating trucks, the staff team of the Red Police Corps also gave a lot of plans. For example, setting up an ambush on someone else's transportation line in advance, disguised as a broken car and falling on the side of the road. Wait for the enemy, just detonate it directly. There are many derivative tactics of this scheme, all of which are based on ambushes and sneak attacks. However, there is a flaw in this plan, that is, it is necessary to know in advance the enemy's choice of transportation routes. to work. Tactical feasibility is debatable, and there are many variables.

Of course, there is another tactic of use. It's also a sneak attack, but it's not an ambush. For example. Disguise your self-detonating truck as a normal truck and drive it to an enemy base thousands of kilometers away. Then the impact detonation is carried out. It can cause massive damage to the enemy's base, and can easily render the enemy's base ineffective. This tactic is good and well suited to the current environment around Somalia. However, there is a very important premise, that is, the country where the enemy base is located must not inspect the trucks, but also be able to release them smoothly, and ensure that the road is unimpeded. Only after such a step can the tactics be continued, otherwise everything is left untouched.

As in this war, this tactic will not work for a long time. As far as Ethiopia is concerned, which is the easiest to enter, it is very fast to enter Ethiopia, but trucks are basically unable to pass through the layers of road checkpoints in Ethiopia. In the recent case of Djibouti, there was no way for self-bombing trucks to safely cross the border between Somalia and Djibouti.

Of course, this is not to say that there is no way at all, first of all, you must be prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be more difficult to do anything. As long as there is a detailed plan, many difficulties will not exist. For example, if Li Lan had asked the spies to register a transport company in Ethiopia in advance, and then sent the self-detonating trucks to Ethiopia in advance and put up their license plates, then there would naturally be no problem with the driving of the self-detonating trucks. It is also possible to get as close as possible to enemy bases.

At present, there are hundreds of self-detonating trucks in the base, and Li Lan has no intention of producing more, after all, only a few can be effective, and a hundred is enough for him to use.

Li Lan is also full of love for the weapons and equipment of another major tank in the base, but he has never been able to find a place to use it, or it is more appropriate to use it if he can't find a suitable opportunity, this tank unit is a terrifying robot.

Terror robots are killers of tanks and vehicles, but soldiers are its greatest predators. In many experiments, a qualified soldier can easily kill the terror robot with a rifle unless it is within two meters of the infantry, and it is still in the movement of the terror robot.

This is mainly because the horror robot only has four legs, and can only move forward and backward and left and right, and there is no way to move at an oblique angle, which exposes a very important weakness, that is, the movement trajectory is too monotonous, and it is easy to be eliminated by seizing the opportunity to kill with one blow.

Nearly a meter long and forty centimeters high, it is difficult to move on the battlefield without being detected, and the power system working inside the horror robot cannot evade the infrared detection system at night. Unless it is directly buried in the soil, and then enters a resting state, after receiving the order, this is turned on to ensure that the machine parts will not be in a state of heat dissipation all the time.

In fact, in this war, horror robots have a great chance to appear, but they have missed it again and again. The battlefield broke out in the city, and Li Lan did not prepare in advance, the priority target of the terrorist robot is the tank, but in the street battle, this opportunity is too rare. It's more to use as an investigative tool,

Maybe it's the pearl's secret investment, or it may be the result of Li Lan's self-cherishing broom and being reluctant to use it.

The fact is that Li Lan also wants to make this war easier, and the terrorist robot company of the 1st Heavy Division has long been buried in Mogadishu and is still there. As for the other troops, there are no terrorist robots, and in Bagua City, Li Lan has an independent terrorist robot combat unit. But he never had a chance to send them to the battlefield, and when the war was in the later stages, the role of robots on the field was not great, and eventually the horror robots never played.

However, this time Li Lan's thinking is a little different, the role of terrorist robots is still very huge, especially in symmetrical warfare, the cost of an M1A2 is six or seven million US dollars, and the cost of a terrorist robot is only five thousand base funds. Using ten terror robots to take out a main battle tank, even a T-90, is earned.

The main thing is that the construction of the horror robot is very fast, and the acceleration in several tank factories takes less than half an hour, which is a complete one.

After summarizing the results of this war, Li Lan generously chose a thousand terrifying robots to build. If you encounter the enemy's armored group, it is definitely more cost-effective to rush directly on the whole line, or wait for work, than to engage the enemy in a short manner and sacrifice the lives of the soldiers.

The time required for a thousand horror robots is about twenty days, and the base funds required are five million. And as long as these 1,000 terror robots can take out a hundred enemy tanks, then Li Lan will make a lot of money, even if it is fifty, it will not be a loss. And there is also a chance to go and capture the opposing tanks and armored vehicles.

Today, Li Lan's job is to plan the production of Red Alert weapons within a year for the major chariot project, and 340 days have already been used, and there are only 20 days left. He didn't think about it, and directly ordered forty-eight tank killers, which are also self-propelled guns that have been in use by the Red Police Corps all along.

The construction time of the Tank Killer and the Rhino Tank is the same, one can be produced in 12 hours, and 48 vehicles have just completed this year's construction plan.

After completing these tasks, Li Lan suddenly couldn't help but sigh: "If only it could be built at the same time, how much!" ”

In fact, the base has already given him a lot of room to build. Starting from the sub-base, he can hand over the non-red police units to the sub-base car to complete, so in the main base car, he has stopped the production work of some non-red police units. Leaving all the non-Red Alert units and ammunition to the tank factory with two base vehicles is the easiest division of labor, and the only way to improve efficiency at the moment.

Of course, this is also because the sub-base has no way to produce the weapons and equipment of the original Red Alert unit, and if it can be produced, it will be equivalent to Li Lan having three more lists that can be produced. This base produces Apocalypse tanks, and that base produces Rhino tanks, which can be done at the same time and will not interfere with each other. But all this is just a beautiful idea, at least for the time being, Li Lan does not see the possibility of such a change. The answer given by the base is also very simple, there is only one core of the base, and there is no way to divide it, so the priority is clear......

Fortunately, Li Lan now has a great demand for non-red police vehicle units, and in the other two sub-bases, he has not stopped building vehicles every day. Both the Humvee and the military truck are constantly being built as the strength of the garrison and the Red Guard Regiment grows. (To be continued......)
