Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 95 Steep Variables

Soon after the end of the war in Ukraine, Du Qiwei did not take off his military uniform, and wanted to do it! Details of the Airborne Brigade. [Reading Network] let 2 catties for this one. The nearly 10,000 officers and men of the Marine Division have gained a profound understanding of the ashes. During the Indian War, the wonderful performance of the Airborne Brigade in the Ranchi Resistance Battle amazed Duchway. It was at this time that Du Qiwei remembered the colonel of the Republic Army named "Li Dongshi".

Although Li Dongshi could not be given all the credit for the Ranchi blockade, without his correct command, it would be impossible for the Airborne Thug Crab Brigade to block the enemy without aid troops. More importantly, as a soldier from Nonghei to Wulao and then to Ranchi, Li Dongshi rose step by step from the grassroots level, and eventually became a brigade commander, and was promoted three times in a row in the years after the end of the Indian War, becoming a lieutenant general commanding the 10th combat unit, which is enough to show that he is not an ordinary soldier.

In fact, the 10th Battle Alone was not an ordinary army either.

No matter which country's military is, it has a historical heritage. The glorious re-history is not only the pride of the army, but also the best way to motivate the soldiers.

For example, the "Big Red First Division" of the US Army. The 1st Fighter Armored Division, the "Wuthering Eagle" 1st Air Assault Division, the "Patton Division" 2nd Armored Division, formerly known as "Hell on Wheels", the 3rd Devil's 3rd Infantry Division, and the "Beautiful Sword" 1st Marine Division all have very glorious histories, and it is these histories that have inspired generations of soldiers.

Like the American Army, no matter how the thugs are adapted, the Republic Army will not lose its glorious traditions.

If the first combat unit is the continuation of the sword army, and the ninth combat unit inherits the glorious history of the concave army, then the tenth combat unit is the epitome of the occupation army. Because Wang Xueping of the Airborne Mouth Army only became the individual commander of the Eighth Combat Unit after receiving training, the Eighth Combat Unit basically had nothing to do with the Mouth Army. Of the old combat units, only the 10th Combat Unit was a continuation of the Airborne Forces.

This is both an honor and a responsibility. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

Before the major reorganization, the Airborne Forces played a very important role in the Army of the Republic, and it was irreplaceable by other armies, that is, the strategic mobile forces in the true sense of the word. Because the Republic does not have as many overseas bases as the United States, nor does it have as powerful marines as the United States, the airborne troops often play the role of the vanguard in the war, from the central and southern parts of Ukraine to the Korean Peninsula, and then to the southern Tibet region and the South Asian subcontinent. Although the original intention of the major reorganization was to make the old combat units should have strong strategic mobility capabilities, there were many problems in the actual implementation, such as the use of equipment and so on. Compared with these hardware problems, the issue of personnel quality is more important. If nothing else, it is almost impossible to make the Ninth Combat Unit, adapted from the Concave Army, fight alone like the Airborne Forces. In order to improve the unit's ability to react quickly, the Ninth Combat Unit practiced for three years after it became an army, and it was not until the middle of the year that it became fully combative. In any case, in an era when the Army is no longer the Big Brother, it is almost impossible to have a combat unit with a strong strategic mobility capability in just a few years. When building combat units, the Army must demonstrate the need for strategic mobility for all of its old combat units.

A journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step. Everything has a beginning.

After successfully completing the reorganization of the combat units, General Tang Yinglong, who succeeded Xiang Linghui as chief of staff of the army, after the third military reform, there was no longer a commander in all branches of the armed forces, and the supreme commander was the chief of staff, and in accordance with Xiang Linghui's arrangement, he proposed that the 10 th combat unit be built according to the standards of a strategic mobile unit. Because this was an arrangement that Xiang Linghui had made a long time ago, and he had reached a tacit understanding with Lin Xiaolei, Lin Xiaolei did not oppose this proposal, and Shuai Yongkang, who had just become Minister of National Defense, did not dare to offend the still relatively strong army, so he did not make a fuss about funding. All in all. In the case of the formation of only one combat unit with strategic mobility capability, the question of funding is not very productive.

It is also in this context that it is in this context. The 10th combat unit came into being.

If the appearance of the 10th combat unit is inevitable, then it is an accident that Li Dongshi became the commander. Whether in terms of seniority or connections, Li Dongshi was not much better than other major generals of the same age, and there were also two commanders of the Airborne Army who were expected to become the commanders of the 10th combat unit at that time. Although when Xiang Linghui was in office. He attached great importance to Lee Dong-seok, and personally signed Lee Dong-seok's lieutenant general promotion order before leaving office. However, when Tang Yinglong became the chief of staff of the army, Li Dongshi's promotion order had not yet been approved by the State Council and the Yuan government, and he was still a major general in the army. That is, without Tang Yinglong's support. It was difficult for Lee Dong-seok to become the commander of the 10th combat unit.

At this time, Tang Yinglong played an extremely key role.

Everyone knows that Tang Yinglong was the lieutenant general of the army before that. After the end of the Indian War, Tang Yinglong was transferred back to the Army Headquarters and began to gradually take over the work of the Army. Because Lin Xiaolei's appointment as chief of the General Staff is a foregone conclusion. Pei Chengyi was unwilling to confront Lin Xiaolei, so his qualifications were on par with Su Jinhui, and Tang Yinglong, who was above Ling Yunxiao and others, naturally became the first choice for the chief of staff of the Republic Army.

In fact, Tang Yinglong is not one

Everyone knows that when Xiang Linghui became chief of staff of the army, he was basically a chief of staff in the transitional period, and it was impossible to achieve much success. Tang Yinglong was able to stand up at this time, which not only proved that he had no ambition, but also showed that he was a very sacrificial soldier.

The problem is that no matter how big a person is, there will be a little bit of a catty. Person**.

If you don't have an individual**, you won't achieve much.

Tang Yinglong's personal ** may be to let the army not lose its way in the transition period.

Although Tang Yinglong did not conflict with Lin Xiaolei on major issues, he was not so easy to deal with in some details.

Before supporting Li Dongshi, the issue of selecting the commander of the Ninth Combat Unit had the greatest impact on Tang Yinglong.

Everyone knows that Tang Yinglong's direct opponents are Su Jinhui, the former commander of the Correction Army, and Qu Maokang, the former commander of the Concave Army. Because Qu Maokang chose to retire after being honorably promoted to army general. So Tang Yinglong only had one opponent left. In any case, as long as Su Jinhui is still wearing a military uniform, he is a threat to Tang Yinglong. Facts have proved that Su Jinhui is indeed a very capable soldier, and Tang Yinglong did not overestimate him. It is precisely like this, when forming the ninth combat unit, Tang Yinglong hoped that a certain lieutenant general from the Wu Army would serve as the commander, but Lin Xiaolei did not agree to this catty. The small request put Fu Weimin on the personal position of the commander of the ninth combat unit. Pushing it further, when the eighth combat unit was formed, because most of the officers and soldiers of the single battle were from the Wu army before the reorganization, Tang Yinglong hoped that the general of the Wu army would serve as the commander, and Lin Xiaolei seemed to be deliberately suppressing Tang Yinglong and sent the commander of the mouth army over, which made Tang Yinglong very annoyed. Affected by these factors, when the 10th combat unit was formed, Tang Yinglong pushed the boat down the river. Instead of promoting a general from the summoning army, Li Dongshi was pushed to the front. Because the 10th combat unit was originally reorganized from the occupation army, and the old 3rd Airborne Brigade was the absolute main force of the old army, Major General Li Dongshi, who was the commander of the brigade and the chief of staff of the army, was naturally the best candidate for the commander of the 10th combat unit. Although Lin Xiaolei wanted the old army commander Huai Zhiwang to take this important position, create some discordant factors in the army, and restrict the army's actions, but at Tang Yinglong's insistence, Lin Xiaolei was not easy to mess around.

For Li Dongshi, Ran's appointment as the single commander of the tenth battle is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Although before that, Li Dongshi had been in charge of the work of the military department as the chief of staff of the old army, after Shang Xueyun was transferred to the commander of the seventh combat unit. In the old army, there was no commander, and he learned a lot of things, but as a general who rose up from the grassroots level, it was a challenge to ascend to the position of army commander.

What's more, the Tenth Combat Individual is a force like no other.

Because it is characterized as a strategic mobile force, the formation of the 10th combat unit is different from that of other combat units.

At the time of the establishment of the Command, the 10th Combat Rank had more staff officers than the other combatants, most of whom were staff officers in charge of strategic airlift and air support. That is, from the very beginning of the command structure, the 10th combat unit was unconventional and very different from other combat units.

In terms of combat brigades, the 10th combat unit is the only combat unit that adopts the "reduced allocation" system, which is not only much smaller in size than the combat brigades of other combat units, but also all the main battle equipment is prepared according to the minimum protection standards, and the protection level is only increased on the front line when needed. This arrangement also makes sense, after all, it is closer to a ton than the full weight of the battle under the standard protection than the full weight of the battle under the maximum protection, and the pregnant old can only carry all the personnel and materials of the fighter 6 at the same time by air 2 plus 2 infantry squads, and under the standard protection and maximum protection, only one infantry squad can be transported. as a strategic mobile force. Priority must be given to ensuring the efficiency of the troops' air transportation, and the reduction of the allocation is a matter of course.

In terms of the artillery brigade, the 10th combat unit took the lead in adopting a new power supply system that could be transported by air from the old one, as well as a compact electromagnetic gun that the small fighter 6 could transport at one time, and the number of electromagnetic guns per battalion was reduced from 24 to the old one. This is done to reduce the pressure of air transportation, and the output power of the new power supply system has been reduced, and can only support the old electromagnetic gun. More importantly, the Army summarized the artillery support in the Indian War. It was concluded that the combat efficiency of an artillery battalion equipped with a cannon was much higher than that of an artillery battalion with a concave cannon and was able to play a greater role, as well as a reasonable reduction in ammunition consumption during battle. To put it bluntly, the artillery is too powerful, which leads to a lot of waste in battle. As a result, war expenses were increased.

Relatively speaking, the biggest change is in the support brigade.

In terms of strength alone, the support brigade of the 10th combat unit was the largest standing among the old support brigades. Even in peacetime, the standing strength of the 10th Combat Individual Support Brigade is about the number of men, even exceeding the number of infantry divisions in many countries. The reason for the huge size of the support brigade is simple, as a strategic mobile unit, the 10th combat unit must be prepared for a large-scale transfer without the support of the air force, so it must be organized to have a ...

In peacetime, the tactical airlift command center under the support brigade can mobilize more than 6o and 2 tanks and more than 2 and multiple tactical transport planes. In wartime, the command can command a multi-aircraft aircraft of an aviation support brigade. In other words, if necessary, the 10th combat unit is capable of having a brigade-sized combat unit of army aviation.

It can be said that this is the biggest feature of the 10th battle individual.

Because. Both the introduction and the fertilizer mouth adopt a modular design, and the protection level can be adjusted according to the needs of the operation, so other combat units can also achieve the same strategic mobility capability as the 10th combat unit under the condition of reducing the allocation. Before the outbreak of war in the Middle East, all combat units had conducted strategic maneuver training with a span of more than one kilometer. In order to reflect the unique capabilities of the 10th combat unit, it is necessary to make a fuss about tactical airlift. Anyway. Strategic transport planes can only transport troops to relatively safe large airfields, and it is impossible to project troops to the rear of the battle line, or even directly to the battle line, like vertical take-off and landing transport planes. It can be said that the "last 4,000 meters" according to the standards published by the US Department of Defense, the range of fighters near the line of fire has often become the biggest obstacle to limiting the combat effectiveness of troops. The war in India has proven that the battlefield assault capability of the troops is very critical.

After the 10th Combat was formed as a single army, it has been training in the mountains of the southwestern region of the Republic in order to enable the troops to master the methods and tactics of air mobility at the tactical level as soon as possible.

Although the vegetation cover in the Zagros Mountains is far less than that of the cross-sectional workers in the south-west of the Republic. veins, but the terrain of the two places is mostly very rugged, which is not very suitable for the operation of large armies of armored forces, and is a paradise for small elite assault troops. The Airborne Forces are already good at fighting alone, and the Airborne Forces, which have armored forces, are even better at skirmishes.

Anyway. There is no reason why Duchway should not attach importance to this force, which has already reached northern Iraq.

Although according to the information provided by the 4th and the 10th Combat Unit, the tactical airlift force of the 10th Combat Unit is still in Iran and will probably be sent to deliver combat materials for the 1st Combat Unit, so it is unlikely that the 10th Combat Unit will attack in the form of an air assault, and if it wants to fight a ground battle, it will take some time to equip the tanks and combat vehicles that are only equipped with minimum protection to be equipped with heavier armor, but the 4th and the Combat Unit both mentioned in the intelligence that if the fighting in the north is tight, or if the commander of the opposing side has greater intentions. It won't delay the 10th combat unit too long. In the early morning of July 3, the 10th Battle, which had been assembled, could enter Turkish territory at any time.

This is definitely not good news for Dudgway.

Blucher had already placed his main forces north of Hakkari province, preparing to deal with the Iranian army attacking from the two arks. Even if there are still 2 Turkish infantry divisions to the south. Nor did Dudgway dare to hold out any hopes. Previous battles have proven themselves. In the face of the steel torrent of the Republic Army, the Turkish army is not even a fart.

The key is, will Pei Chengyi let the 10th combat unit encircle and suppress Blucher?

Duche didn't feel that was likely. If Pei Chengyi had seen Blucher as a threat, he would have let the first combat unit go south long ago, instead of waiting for Blucher to deploy a defensive line and then let the tenth combat unit kill from the relatively low south. In the shape of the region, it is much easier to attack from north to south than from south to north, otherwise the Iranian army would not have placed the three most combat-effective divisions in the north, where it is more difficult to resupply, and four divisions in the south, where it is relatively easy to supply, with much less combat.

The Tenth Battleman will not deal with Blucher, what will he do?

This is a question that must be well considered.

In fact, this is also a question that does not need to be considered.

The advance of the 1st Combat Unit had reached the city of Van and was followed by several Iranian infantry divisions. Judging from the active use of the 10th combat unit, Pei Chengyi will not let the 1st combat unit storm Van City, but will use the Iranian infantry division to surround Van City, and the 1st Combat Unit will continue to assault westward. In this case, the task of the 10th Combat Unit was simple: to move north quickly and capture a strategic location in the upper Tigris River, such as the capital of the province of Sirt. If the 1st Combat Unit was able to quickly capture Tatwan on the western shore of Lake Van Lake, the Republican Army would open the door to central Turkey and could advance along two railway lines and several road lines.

In this case. Even without taking into account the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army, the Turkish army did not have enough troops to hold the entire front without mobilization.

As a result, it is conceivable that the armored forces of the Republic Army will reach the outside of Ankara, and Turkey will become the second India.

In fact, Turkey is fortunate to be the second India. In Du Qiwei's view, Pei Chengyi, as the successor of the Tang Empire, is likely to complete the great cause that Su Dingfang, the general of the Tang Empire, did not complete, and cut off Turkey established by the descendants of the Turks in one fell swoop.

Anyway. This is a failure that no one can afford.

It's just that when Du Qiwei considered this problem, it was already late at night on July Fighter Day.
