Chapter 129: Armored Division Equipment

"Nev, I'm going to buy a batch of weapons and equipment, and this time the amount is a bit large, mainly army equipment." Guo Yu said.

"I like big deals the most, you say, I haven't had any orders that I can't complete so far." Nirvana said with a look of packing tickets. However, it is true that Nev also belongs to the kind of top layer among the world's arms dealers, because it is already very telling that he can control the underground arms trade of a country.

"Before talking about my weapon, let me ask you a question, you also know that I don't know much about Ukraine or the weapons of the Soviet Union, and what I want to equip is a unit that does not need too advanced weapons, you can imagine that my opponent is Germany or Japan in World War II, what weapons does the Soviet Union need to come up with to deal with him, or how do troops need to prepare weapons and equipment to defeat it." Guo Yu asked a particularly white question.

"Guo, I really don't know how you do a weapons dealer, please be professional in the future, your question is too broad, if you start from the Great Patriotic War, you can go all the way to the end of the Cold War, which spans decades, weapons are ever-changing, and the weapons of the Soviet Union during World War II have also been destroyed, except for those in the military museum, where can you let me find you weapons from the Second World War era, Guo, I am an arms dealer, not a military historian." As he spoke, Nev patted his fat forehead depressedly.

Guo Yu's question really stumped Nev, he was a weapons merchant, not a scrap merchant, he was only interested in the existing equipment that could be sold in his hands, and other backward weapons, that is something that weapons manufacturing experts or military historians need to study.

"Okay, you come and equip me with a batch of equipment, you can talk about the standard of the combat units of the former Soviet Army, how much equipment is needed to equip a division, and the equipment of a modern armored division is really too expensive." Guo Yu took a step back and asked.

"Are you sure that as long as the weapons of the former Soviet Union, many of them are already obsolete products, and they can't keep up with the requirements of the times, you are my friend, I don't want you to buy them back and smash them in your hands and not sell them, if that's the case, it's better to let them continue to sleep in the warehouse." Nev persuaded.

"Tell me first, anyway, my buyers don't ask for high-performance weapons and equipment." Guo Yu urged.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Guo Yu, Nev had no choice but to give Guo Yu a detailed explanation of the Soviet Union's weapons and equipment. "There are many kinds of army divisions, motorized infantry divisions, armored tank divisions, airborne divisions, artillery divisions, etc., I will first tell you about motorized infantry divisions, the Soviet Army numbered nearly two million back then, with 142 motorized infantry divisions, which was the most powerful army in the world at that time."

"An A-class motorized infantry division has about 13,000 people, the division commander has the rank of major general, and his composition includes: a headquarters, three motorized infantry regiments, a tank regiment, a communications battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a rocket battalion, an independent tank battalion, an air defense regiment, an anti-tank regiment, a chemical defense battalion, an engineer battalion, a transport battalion, a repair battalion, a medical and health battalion, and a helicopter squad.

The rocket battalion is the most powerful weapon in the hands of the division commander, with 6 rocket launchers. The tank battalion is the guard unit next to the division commander and is responsible for defending the division headquarters and the rocket battalion. When the division commander needs to throw all his forces into battle, this battalion also participates in the battle.

Three motorized infantry regiments. Two of the regiments were equipped with armoured personnel carriers and light weapons, which could be used to attack frontally and probe for weaknesses in enemy lines. The third regiment, armed with infantry fighting vehicles and heavy weapons, attacked the weakest points of the enemy line together with tank regiments.

The artillery regiment is the main firepower of the division, under the command of three battalions armed with 152-mm self-propelled howitzers and one battalion armed with BM-27 heavy multiple rocket launchers. In total, the regiment had 54 howitzers and 18 heavy MLRS. All forces were used on the main offensive axis of the division, on which tank regiments and heavy motorized infantry regiments were also active.

Air defense regiments. His main task was to defend the division headquarters and the rocket battalion. The regiment also had to defend the division's main combat units, despite the fact that these units themselves were capable of fighting in anti-aircraft operations. The air defense regiment has 5 companies, each with 6 missile launchers. You can also add anti-aircraft artillery, depending on your choice.

The anti-tank battalion is armed with 18 100 or 125-mm anti-tank guns and 6 anti-tank missile systems.

Engineer battalions, engineer battalions were used to quickly lay anti-tank mines in front of the advancing enemy tanks that broke through, in conjunction with anti-tank battalions, with the aim of completely halting them in front of the anti-tank guns of their own troops or at least slowing them down. The engineer battalion also serves as a forward minesweeper for troops advancing in divisions during offensive operations and assists them in overcoming obstacles such as rivers.

The anti-chemical battalion is mainly responsible for taking the necessary protective measures in the event of a nuclear, chemical and biological assault by the enemy. Of course, you can also set up an attack force in this chemical defense battalion, but this is against international law.

Transport battalion. The transport battalion was responsible for supplying fuel and ammunition to the division. The battalion has 200 vehicles of various types, which can transport 1,000 tons of fuel and ammunition at a time.

Repair battalion. The repair battalion is responsible for the repair of combat equipment and the replacement of spare parts.

Medical health camps. The medical and health battalion is responsible for the medical and health work of all the divisional staff.

The helicopter squad consists of six helicopters, which perform command and communications tasks and can transport the division's containment forces behind enemy lines.

The Soviet army had a total of 287 tanks, 150 infantry fighting vehicles, 221 armored transport vehicles, 6 rocket launchers, 18 130-mm heavy assault guns, 18 anti-tank guns, 126 self-propelled and towed howitzers, 96 mortars and multiple rocket launchers, 48 mobile anti-aircraft missile systems, 16 self-propelled automatic anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of light anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

The tank division was organized in the same way as the motorized infantry division, except that it had 3 tank regiments instead of 1; There is 1 motorized group instead of 3. In addition, the tank division did not have a separate tank battalion or anti-tank battalion, since its anti-tank forces were much stronger than the motorized infantry division.

1 tank division with 10500 people. It is armed with 341 tanks, 232 infantry fighting vehicles, 6 rocket launchers, 6 heavy assault guns, 126 self-propelled howitzers, 78 mortars and MLRS, 62 self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and anti-aircraft artillery systems, and hundreds of light anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons. Despite the fact that the tank division had fewer personnel than the motorized infantry division, its assault capabilities were much greater. ”

Guo Yu was a little dizzy when he heard it, because he basically didn't understand these things, but it sounded very powerful, a division of several hundred and two tanks, which was absolutely invincible in the time and space of the Republic of China, a tank division, even a motorized infantry division could completely destroy the enemy of the opponent's ten divisions, because these steel guys had no opponents over there.

"Can this be packaged and sold to me as a whole, so that I can save myself a little bit of equipment." Guo Yu asked.

"Of course there is no problem, the 142 motorized infantry divisions of the Soviet Union back then, and now the army has reduced a lot of personnel, and these equipment have been phased out, but in order to cope with a possible large-scale war, many of them have been mothballed and not destroyed, and now they can be used directly, and I can also equip you with a large number of ammunition and equipment parts, which are enough for your own maintenance." Nev replied.

"Price, Nev, you know I'm most concerned about price, don't be too expensive." Guo Yu is now counting money and buying things.

"Well, I told you before, an armored division costs 2 billion dollars, but now the situation has changed, the country urgently needs a lot of money, no one cares about these stocks of iron guys, and it will no longer be calculated according to the price of exported weapons, I will equip you with the equipment of the troops before the collapse of the Soviet Union, like T-62, T-72 tanks, BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, Mi-24 helicopters, BM27 220 mm 16-tube self-propelled rocket launchers, 122 mm 2S1 self-propelled howitzers, 152-mm Type 2S3 self-propelled howitzers, 9K79 tactical missiles, and a large number of towed guns. Light weapons are basically the ones you purchased last time, plus a lot of ammunition, 1.3 billion dollars for armored divisions, 800 million dollars for motorized infantry divisions, many of these weapons are still in active service in Russia, what do you think? Nev asked.

"Yes, the price is acceptable, but I want to make sure that all the equipment is in good condition, don't get me the old ones that can't be used or will be overhauled in a few days, I don't want scrap metal." Guo Yu said.

"Of course, you also know that Soviet weapons are not the most sophisticated, but they are absolutely durable." Nev's assessment is basically a fact recognized by the world.

Guo Yu thought about it, he has nearly six billion US dollars in his hands, but he can't buy all the armored equipment, rifles and grenades and other common equipment should be purchased in large quantities now, and after his own factory is established, it is estimated that it will take a short period of time, and he can't let the soldiers use old-fashioned rifles now.

"Nev, you prepare me with equipment for two armored divisions and three motorized infantry divisions, and then prepare me with 100,000 more AK rifles and a lot of ammunition, as well as 100,000 F1 grenades." Guo Yu calculated in his own heart that the two armored divisions were 2.6 billion US dollars, and the three motorized infantry divisions were 2.4 billion US dollars, just 5 billion US dollars, and he had 10 billion US dollars left to save the emergency, so there should be no problem.

"Nev, I'm going to buy a batch of obsolete ships in the future, but I don't have much money after buying army equipment, you help me pay attention to it first, and when I have money to buy it when I get back, the more the better, I don't dislike the old, as long as it's easy to use." Guo Yu said.

"Guo, we are an old relationship, you can give me credit first, and then pay me back when you have money." Nev said.

The words of the fat man made Guo Yu stunned, and he could also buy weapons on credit, why hadn't he heard of it. Guo Yu always feels that the buying and selling of weapons is a very dangerous and very hidden behavior, and the two sides pay money with one hand and deliver the first hand is the most basic transaction rule, who knows that the fat man can also play with credit cards here.

"Nev, I don't want you to be difficult, after all, it's not just your personal business, you give me credit for the ship, so you break the rules, how to explain to others." Guo Yu thought that Nev did this because of his relationship with him.

"Oh, maybe you misunderstood, I'm not trying to break the rules, because we can get credit in the first place, although we weapons dealers pay attention to underground transactions, but they are also the most credibility of the group, because without credibility in this circle will die a miserable death, the more dark transactions like ours, the more credibility is needed." Nev said.

"If that's the case, you can help me explain the situation of the ships I might get." Guo Yu said happily.
