Chapter 177: Apocalypse Tank

Building a short-range ground-to-ground missile battalion for armored units is only a preliminary idea, but building a missile brigade is the focus of Li Lan's army development in the next stage.

The missile force must be established, and it must have a preliminary connection between the distance and the near and the distance, and Li Lan has no way to go too far now, but it is still feasible within the range of 3,000 kilometers.

The price is not too expensive, a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers, one is only 80,000 base funds, and it is completely affordable.

Moreover, in terms of shore defense and anti-ship missiles, it is also necessary to get started, especially in places like the Gulf of Aden, where the lethality of shore-to-ship missiles does not need to be explained at all, as long as they can be protected, the blockade of the strait is just a simple matter. When the time comes, not to mention warships, even the entire waterway can paralyze the Suez Canal.

Now we should also take advantage of the time to prepare all these more or less. At least you can't cram, there can be not many things, but there must be, and you can explode at the right time.

As for the Army Aviation and Ground Armored Forces, this is also the focus of the development of the Army. After all, in a place like Africa, a strong army is still very necessary, and in terms of homeland defense, especially an army force with modern standards, it is also very important.

Li Lan Weishenme wants to build a battalion-level unit with multiple arms in order to build a strong army. The heavy division in Li Lan's mind is directly aimed at the US Fourth Armored Division, and the total number of troops will exceed that of the US Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division of more than 17,000 people.

And the main combat force in this heavy division will be composed of brigade-level units. It has one armored brigade headquarters and brigade headquarters company, and two mechanized infantry brigade headquarters and brigade headquarters companies. There are six heavy tank battalions and five mechanized infantry battalions. One combat aviation brigade (two attack helicopter battalions, one combat support aviation battalion, one air cavalry battalion), one divisional support command (three forward support battalions, one maintenance support battalion, one transport aircraft maintenance company), one divisional artillery command (three 155-mm self-propelled howitzer battalions, one 237-mm MLRS battalion, one target search company), one communications battalion, one anti-aircraft artillery battalion, one military intelligence battalion, one chemical company, one gendarmerie company.

The entire heavy division will be equipped with more than 300 Rhino main battle tanks and 700 multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles for various combat missions. In total, more than one hundred and eighty attack helicopters and transport helicopters. A total of 800 MANPADS of various types were used. At the same time, Li Lan has also specially equipped an independent terrorist robot brigade, which will be equipped with more than 200 terrorist robots to conduct battlefield reconnaissance or anti-tank operations.

In Jihua, Li Lan also plans to equip the heavy division with a self-exposed truck company, which can be regarded as planning to obtain some unexpected results when necessary. However, this is only an assumption, as with the anti-aircraft missile battalion of the armored brigade. Not yet included in jihua.

After all, he revealed that the truck was a guy who didn't recognize his six relatives, and once he was attacked. Exploding next to one's own person will have a devastating effect. Li Lan also had to guard against this.

The tanks of the heavy division in Jihua are all rhinoceros tanks, which was also decided by Li Lan after considering the cost and the combat mission. The Rhino Tank has been performing very well. Li Lan also attaches more importance to it, and the two independent armored brigade units, Li Lan wants to change into Apocalypse tanks.

Although the construction of the main forces of the army will take a long time. But he's already preparing. The three regiments, which were originally subordinate to the heavy division, have now been expanded. There is already a mechanized infantry brigade, all that remains is to form an armored brigade and another mechanized infantry brigade. The general structure is almost out, and the other equipment will be slowly supplemented. According to his Jihua, in a year's time, this heavy division will be full and form combat effectiveness.

In two years' time, he was to form two such heavy divisions, plus four independent brigade-sized units, two armored brigades, and two mechanized infantry brigades. And all of them need to be fully equipped, and the combat effectiveness must be formed immediately after the equipment is fully equipped.

To this end, Li Lan needs to prepare at least 300 Apocalypse tanks and 100 Rhino tanks within two years, and it is also necessary to rebuild more than 1,500 anti-aircraft tracked vehicles and multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles with various weapon modules, and at least 400 land-based helicopters.

In two years, Li Lan will have at least 70,000 land forces, including more than 20,000 inland naval and air force units, including the Marine Corps. (Coding these, Hua Hua suddenly felt his blood boiling, and the future scene had already surfaced and rehearsed in his mind.) )

In addition to the construction of the Red Guard Corps and the Army, Li Lan will not forget to develop the local armed forces in Lower Somalia, the Red Guard Corps is the main offensive force, and the local armed forces are specially used for patrolling and guarding and maintaining local stability and security.

In the future, the Red Police will only be dispatched when local forces encounter conflicts or problems that cannot be resolved, or when they need to be deterred by force.

However, this idea has not yet been put on the agenda, and Jihua is not ready for anything. What kind of weapons the local troops should be equipped with and what the scale should be, all these need to be carefully considered by Li Lan.

In the past two months, Li Lan has also produced and equipped a battalion of the most important army weapon, the Apocalypse Tank, with a total of 32 vehicles.

Apocalypse Tank: The army's main battle main battle weapon unit, construction price - 300,000 base funds, construction time - 48 hours.

Description: Super defensive ability is proportional to extremely strong firepower, up to 70 tons of combat weight, so that it can be invincible, 125 mm high-pressure smoothbore gun, can allow him to penetrate 1,200 mm homogeneous armor, 1800 horsepower gas turbocharged engine, can allow him to reach a speed of 75 kilometers per hour on flat ground, and 55 kilometers per hour off-road. Extended-range shells with a range of 10-12 km are fired in a non-direct fire mode, reducing dependence on the Air Force and artillery. Its strong protection capability can make any tank main gun and anti-tank missile completely obsolete.

Secondary armament: two twin-mounted short-range anti-aircraft missiles, one high-level dual-purpose double-barreled 12.7 mm automatic machine gun, one 7.6 mm coaxial machine gun, two smoke grenade launchers.

System: Observation and sighting, fire control, weapons, power, communications, protection and vehicle management composed of integrated vehicle group system, battlefield integrated data link, real-time information automatic comparison database, eye safety laser rangefinder, GPS receiver, forward-looking infrared detector, auxiliary power unit control system (power acceleration), vehicle integrated defense system (control secondary weapons).

Special note: The thermal management system components ensure that the temperature in the passenger compartment is below 30 degrees. The commander's independent sight assembly has a "hunter-destroy" capability. With the integrated system sight, even if the gun commander is aiming at an enemy tank target, the commander can search and aim at a new target, and directly use the handle to overtake the gun commander for artillery fire. The forward-looking infrared night vision device implements wide field of view and narrow field of view conversion, the magnification can be selected 3 times, 6 times, 13 times, 25 times and even 50 times, and the observation distance can reach 7 kilometers, and the low magnification can be used to ensure a wide field of view and a clear target image, and a narrow field of view can be used to identify the target when identifying friend or foe, and 50 times magnification can be used to identify the target features. And he only needs three people to control it.

Suggestion: its appearance will completely level the gap between the main battle tank and the shijie, do not hesitate, having it on the battlefield is equivalent to having a battle fortress.

It is precisely because of the powerful data of the Apocalypse Tank, even if it is a cost of 300,000 yuan, Li Lan does not hesitate to build it continuously. This 70-ton main battle tank, the only thing Shijie can compete with him is the Abrams SEP, or the latest German Leopard II main battle tank, and the other tanks are children in front of it.

In terms of tonnage, only Abrams SEP can compare with it, the difference between the two is not very big, and in terms of the digitization of weapon systems, the Apocalypse tank is integrated and powerful. This kind of tonnage would be very suitable in places like Africa and the Middle East, where there are very few problems such as the capacity of bridges or roads. Therefore, in the Middle East and African theaters, such a big guy, the combat effectiveness is 100%, just because there are too few things that can limit it.

The main point is that such an advanced Apocalypse tank can be upgraded, and from the first time he saw him, Li Lan was thinking about what it would be like when it was upgraded to the elite level.

However, for a tank that performs well in the game, Li Lan doesn't have much hope, and that is the Guangling tank. At this time, not to mention the Guangling tank, it was the defensive unit Guangling Tower, and Li Lan did not start to build it.

It's not that Li Lan doesn't like it, Guangling Tower can be built, or it can be built on a large scale, but the Guangling tank, he really doesn't know how to arrange it. The only thing that is commendable is its rate of fire, but the range and inability to fight around the clock, coupled with its weak defense capabilities, make Li Lan very unhappy.

It's not that Li Lan doesn't like it, it's just that if there are restrictions on use, it will inevitably cause problems when used on the battlefield, and it will require the cooperation of the sky.

When the time comes, he also plans to equip a battalion to try it out, and let the actual combat determine the effect, if the ability is outstanding, then he will not be stingy.

After the advanced clearance, several other army equipment, as well as a self-detonating truck, he did not want to produce it for the time being, but waited for it to be needed in the future, and then quickly produced. As for the terrorist robots, Li Lan began to cooperate with the construction of armored forces and entered the stage of cooperative production, as an option to alleviate the financial pressure, so as not to let the construction list be in a state of rest.
