Chapter 273: The Spy Shadow of South Asia (18)

Pentagon, second floor, Office of the Secretary of Defense.

When Li Delin and Long Zizhou saw the detailed preparation plan of the reorganized division that Jiang Fangzhen had reformulated for them, they both became stunned on the spot, their mouths open enough to fit into their entire fists.

Based entirely on the mountainous geographical characteristics of the Yunnan-Guizhou region, Jiang Fangzhen carefully designed a kind of mountain division for the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army, and planned to adopt the public numbers of the 1st Mountain Division, the 2nd Mountain Division, the 3rd Mountain Division, and the 4th Mountain Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

Taking the 1st Mountain Division of the National Revolutionary Army as an example, the division has four regiment-level battle groups, one aviation brigade and one support brigade, with a full strength of 32,486 personnel and a strong mobile combat capability.

The main heavy equipment of the division is 48 Mi-4 armed attack helicopters, 64 Mi-4 general-purpose helicopters, 24 155MM light towed howitzers, 72 105MM light towed howitzers, 72 Type 63 107MM light towed multiple rocket launchers, 54 Type 67 82MM mortars, 72 Type 63 60MM mortars, 54 82 recoilless guns, 360 RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers, and 360 M73 grenade launchers. 840 M203 GRENADE LAUNCHERS, 36 Type 56 QUADRUPLE 14.5MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS, 48 Type 58 TWIN 14.5MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS, 2,449 RADIO STATIONS OF VARIOUS TYPES, AND 2,360 MILITARY VEHICLES OF VARIOUS TYPES.

The smallest combat unit is a squad, with one squad leader, two squad deputies, and nine squad members. Equipped with 10 C39 assault rifles (81 bar modification), one bayonet for each control magazine; 1 C39 sniper rifle (SVD modified) with 4 magazines; one machine gun for the C39 squad (Type 81 machine gun) with 5 drums for 72 rounds; 12 C38 military pistols (M1911A modification), 3 per disposable magazine; 48 Type 67 grenades, 4 M203 grenades, and one KR3 walkie-talkie.

Three infantry squads, plus one fire support squad (two MG42 general-purpose machine guns each with 200 bullet chains and 5 boxes, two RPG7 anti-tank rocket launchers with 2 bases), two signal soldiers, two medics, two platoon deputies, and one platoon, forming a field platoon with a full strength of 52 people.

THREE FIELD PLATOONS, PLUS ONE ARTILLERY PLATOON (63 TYPE 60MM MORTARS 4 SPARE AMMUNITION 2 BASES, 67 Type 82MM MORTARS 2 RESERVE AMMUNITION 2 BASES, 82 Recoilless Guns 2 RESERVE BASES), a police squad, two company deputies, and one main company, forming an infantry company with a full strength of 224 people.

THREE INFANTRY COMPANIES, PLUS AN ARTILLERY COMPANY (4 82MM MORTARS WITH 2 BASES EACH, 63 TYPE 107MM LIGHT MULTIPLE ROCKET LAUNCHERS WITH 2 BASE AMMUNITION), A POLICE RECONNAISSANCE PLATOON, A COMMUNICATIONS SQUAD, A MEDICAL SQUAD, TWO BATTALION DEPUTIES, AND A FULL BATTALION, FORMED AN INFANTRY BATTALION WITH A FULL STRENGTH OF 852 PERSONNEL.

THREE INFANTRY BATTALIONS, PLUS ONE CAVALRY BATTALION (TWO MI-4 MODIFIED ARMED HELICOPTERS, FOUR MI-4 CONVERTED GENERAL-PURPOSE TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS), A FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION (4 105MM LIGHT TOWED HOWITZERS, 4 107MM MULTIPLE ROCKET LAUNCHERS), A SPECIAL MISSION BATTALION (AIR DEFENSE COMPANY, ENGINEER COMPANY, ANTI-CHEMICAL COMPANY), A SUPPORT BATTALION, A POLICE COMMUNICATION COMPANY, AND A REGIMENTAL STAFF DEPARTMENT, FORMING A REGIMENTAL BATTLE GROUP WITH A FULL STRENGTH OF 4,869 PERSONNEL.

The division has nearly 2,400 combat vehicles of various types and transport vehicles, and 112 helicopters of two types of Mi-4 modifications, which is sufficient to ensure that this number has strong ground and air tactical mobility capabilities. The speed of ground maneuvering is not less than 30 kilometers per hour during the day and 25 kilometers per hour at night. In non-combat conditions, the distance of maneuvering in a day and night can be up to 500 km.

The divisional aviation brigade's Mi-4 modified armed helicopter has a mobile combat radius of up to 300 km, and the divisional aviation brigade's combat helicopter group is equipped with 30 Mi-4 modified general-purpose helicopters, which can maneuver two infantry companies in the air at one time, and the air mobility speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour.

IN TERMS OF SUPPRESSIVE FIREPOWER, THE DIVISION HAS FOUR 105MM LIGHT TOWED HOWITZER BATTALIONS (72 GUNS) AND THREE 155MM LIGHT TOWED HOWITZER COMPANIES (24 GUNS), WHICH CAN PROVIDE CONVENTIONAL FIRE SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE DIVISION IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. 4 105MM HOWITZER BATTALIONS CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY HIT UP TO 36 GROUP TARGETS AT A TIME, AND THE DAMAGE DISTANCE CAN BE UP TO 19.5 KM. Using the concentrated firing method, a base number of shells is fired at a specific area of destruction, which can fire 1080 shells in five minutes (the standard ammunition base is composed of six modified conventional munitions). When necessary, the 32 armed attack helicopters of the division's aviation brigade can also suppress the enemy's ground forces with aerial artillery fire (96 20MM aerial guns) and 58 airborne rocket nests, providing air fire support for the whole division.

In terms of anti-tank firepower, the air anti-tank firepower consisting mainly of 48 Mi-4 armed attack helicopters, as well as 360 RPG-7 anti-tank rockets, can ensure effective strikes against enemy armored groups at a depth of 100 kilometers. Saturation attacks 384 armored targets at once. IN ADDITION, THE DIVISION'S 24 155MM LIGHT TOWED HOWITZERS ARE ALSO EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-TANK CAPABILITIES, AND THE 155MM HIGH-EXPLOSIVE GRENADES FIRED CAN EFFECTIVELY KILL ENEMY ARMORED GROUPS.

Seeing such an establishment and such a firepower composition, Rao is Li Delin and Long Zizhou have been in the army for more than 30 years, and they never thought that they could have such a terrifying "lightly armed" army!

"Brother Baili, are you sure that there is nothing wrong with this compilation?" Li Delin swallowed hard, stared at the compilation plan in his hand with his eyes, and muttered to himself.

"Boom! Brother Baili, if such a division can only be regarded as a light armorer, then what does a heavy armor division have to look like? Long Zizhou's eyes only showed green light.

"Our emperor has always adhered to the principle of the supremacy of firepower. Ground fire will never be used for those that can be solved by aerial fire, and infantry assault will never be used for battles that can be solved by artillery fire. Jiang Fangzhen said aloud with great pride: "The life of a soldier is far more precious than bullets and shells, this is a sentence that our emperor often says.

Brother Delin, Brother Zizhou, in the past, pursued the backward modern warfare thinking in the national government, and it was simply impossible to keep up with the pace of military development of our Great Donghua Empire. For example, in order to prepare a near-species lightly armed mountain division, the piloting and maintenance of helicopters alone requires you to send officers and men with an education level of at least junior high school or above for intensive training for at least half a year, so that it is possible to form initial combat effectiveness. ”

"I'm afraid the little devil won't give us time!" Li Delin gritted his teeth and said.

"Considering the actual situation, we will send a group of Army Aviation volunteers to help you survive the first year." Jiang Fangzhen obviously had already thought about it, and Zhengse said: "Not only helicopter piloting and maintenance, but also driving training for various types of combat vehicles and transport vehicles. As for weapons and equipment, it is up to you to accumulate experience through actual combat. Of course, with the necessary preliminary training, our teaching team will definitely do their duty. ”

"Brother Baili, how did you get so much equipment and materials to Kunming?" Long Zizhou asked worriedly.

"Of course, it can only be by air." Jiang Fangzhen smiled confidently: "So, Brother Zizhou, you have to quickly arrange for people to build at least two large field airfields in Kunming and Baoshan. For the specific design and construction, we will have special engineers to guide the past, but the large amount of labor required for site selection and leveling will have to be solved by yourself. ”

"I think only His Majesty Emperor Jincheng can have such a big deal!" Li Delin said with sincere admiration.

"This time, in order to help you fight the Southwest War of Resistance, our emperor really plans to spend his blood." Jiang Fangzhen's face turned serious, and he said solemnly: "Just the equipment of these four mountain divisions, you can calculate for yourself how much it will cost!" In addition, there are six mechanized integration divisions, and there are also various military supplies such as ammunition, fuel, medicine, and military rations that will be supplied later, which is burning tons and tons of gold! ”

War, sure enough, is fought with comprehensive national strength!

Li Delin and Long Zizhou secretly sighed in their hearts.

With this kind of four mountain divisions in front, they naturally look forward to the next six mechanized reorganization divisions. (To be continued.) )
