Chapter 202 202 Mountain 03 Brigade
Qi Yiming, who held a meeting of the Supreme Military Commission at a secret official residence in Kuala Lumpur, did not pay too much attention to the matter of not being able to meet his girlfriend, after all, although he was not anxious now, he was so busy with the things at hand that he couldn't get away for a while.
The meeting was mainly devoted to discussing the establishment of the new troops, and here we were mainly talking about the army. With the PLA repeatedly thwarting the sneak attacks and offensives of the Ma army, there are almost no large-scale enemies on the Malayan Peninsula, but this has not alleviated the situation in Malaya, but has made the South Liberation High-level headache even more.
A day earlier, dozens of armed men, presumably formerly regular soldiers, attacked a Chinese village in Johor because of the lack of communication facilities to call for help, and by the time the SAFLA arrived, the group had withdrawn, leaving behind 125 bodies and a wrecked ruin.
The massacre in Johor greatly stimulated Qi Yiming and all Malaysian Chinese, and there were some people who previously considered the protection of the Chinese army unnecessary, that the Chinese authorities had ulterior motives, and that the Malaysian Chinese should not accept the goodwill of the Chinese. But the bloody violence proved to the Malaysian Chinese that the Malays, who live in the same land as them, are definitely not as docile as they think.
Naturally, there are also those blind idiots who think that if it weren't for the Chinese intervention, the Malays would not have become so brutal. As for whether this logic can be accepted or not, it all depends on people's IQ.
Before the liberation of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, they started by fighting guerrilla warfare and counter-encirclement and suppression, but today, in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it is their turn for their juniors to start encirclement, suppression, and counter-guerrilla.
In order to launch a sweeping offensive, Qi Yiming needed more troops, and more lightly armed troops who could penetrate deep into the jungles and mountains.
The 8th Brigade of the former PLA Airborne Forces and the 6th Regiment of the Marine Corps, together with the Red Alert fighters recruited by Qi Yiming from the base in recent days, formed two mechanized infantry brigades, the 01st Brigade and the 02nd Infantry Brigade, each with more than 4,000 people. Although these two brigades are called mechanized infantry brigades, they are actually in the form of a composite establishment of digitized troops.
Each infantry brigade has five composite combat battalions, an artillery battalion, an air defense battalion, an industrial and chemical battalion (engineer and anti-chemical warfare), a repair battalion, and a communications battalion (responsible for battlefield communications and electronic countermeasures), a total of 10 battalions. The composite combat battalion consists of three mechanized infantry companies and one tank company, sometimes two tank companies and two mechanized infantry companies, and some units are equipped with an additional artillery platoon or an anti-aircraft platoon.
The infantry company in the synthetic combat battalion is mainly equipped with ordinary MIFV basic armored infantry vehicles, that is, the version with a 30mm cannon and machine gun. The battalion artillery platoon is generally a self-propelled assault gun version or self-propelled mortar version of 2-3 MIFVs, and the air defense platoon is a MIFV equipped with 2-3 air defense modules, that is, it carries an integrated weapon of air defense radar and projectiles.
Therefore, such a composite battalion, with at least 12 Grizzly tanks and 36 multi-purpose infantry vehicles, can occupy a great advantage on the battlefield.
The armament of the artillery battalion is mainly MIFV's self-propelled assault guns, China's export version of the PLZ-45 self-propelled artillery, plus the WM-80 273mm eight-pack self-propelled rocket launcher that was once exported to Saudi Arabia.
The air defense battalion uses MIFV anti-aircraft combat vehicles, KS-1A medium-range anti-aircraft missiles, and FN-6 shoulder-launched missiles for individual use.
From this, it can be seen that although the Southern Liberation Army is considered to be Qi Yiming's cronies, it still does not have the best weapons, but mainly ships for export. In fact, it has no effect in actual combat, the above weapons are already quite excellent things, at least there is no difficulty in hitting Southeast Asian countries. The reason why Qi Yiming made these goods mainly considered multiple factors such as cost performance and the exclusivity of PLA.
In the large-scale sweeping offensive planned by the Supreme Military Commission of the Southern Liberation Army, these two heavily armed infantry brigades can be put into relatively open areas, or they can be dispersed to guard important transportation hubs and cities, but it may be difficult to really penetrate into the mountains. Therefore, after Qi Yiming finished assembling the Jibu 01 Brigade and the Jibu 02 Brigade, he immediately used the more than 2,000 people who had been dismissed from the million-dollar disarmament and intended to join the Southern Liberation Army, together with some veterans of the original Eighth Airborne Brigade and some Red Alert fighters newly produced by the base, to form the third army brigade of the Southern Liberation Army, the Mountain 03 Brigade.
As the name suggests, the 03 Brigade is a lightly armed unit that mainly fights in the jungle and mountains. Despite their name, they actually have a lot of firepower. The Mountain 03 Brigade has four mountain battalions, one composite combat battalion, one artillery battalion, one air defense battalion, one industrial and chemical battalion, and one communications battalion, which is one battalion less than the Mechanized Infantry Brigade. Their core combat strength is naturally mountain battalions, each of which is motorized, and military trucks transport them to the war zone, and then fight on foot.
The mountain battalion has a total of two infantry companies and a mecha company, that's right, as an artifact-level equipment for mountain jungle operations, the mountain battalion has a company with a total of 10 sickle mechas, and these people can't go up to the same war machine that can be easily climbed, it is the firepower hub in the mountain jungle war designed by Qi Yiming, three heavy machine guns plus a seven-pack 57mm rocket nest, in the area where tanks and armored vehicles can't go, it is an invincible existence.
The completed mountain 03 brigade has a total of more than 3,000 combatants, which is a little less than the previous two mechanized infantry brigades. And because most of the fighters in the brigade had not been trained in mountain warfare before, they basically came to Malaysia and carried out combat missions while receiving training.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers in this brigade have participated in the two-mountain round battle, and they are familiar with the jungle terrain and tropical climate, and they can get started relatively quickly. The young Mountain 03 Brigade achieved results as soon as it was deployed.
In order to find the culprit of the Johor massacre, the entire brigade was sprinkled in various mountainous areas of Johor and hidden places of potential enemies to carry out a sweeping offensive.
Located in the northwestern state of Johor, Mount Ophi, which is identified as the area where the killers of the village massacre are hiding, is not particularly large and stands out in a plain and is part of the Tidiwangsa mountain range. Even if the mountainous area is small, it is not easy to rely on manpower to climb over it on foot. The mountain battalion has its own drone combat detachment directly under the brigade, which is dedicated to searching, but at this time, not only are the drones not fully equipped, but it is really not an easy thing to search for horse army gangs in the mountains with many creatures.
The soldier Wang Fuhai was supposed to retire this year, but Wang Fuhai, who used to be naughty in the village and began to learn well in the army, was very attached to the army, and he thought that he could not do anything except be a soldier. The non-commissioned officer exam a few years ago did not pass because of Wang Fuhai's low level of education, which made him feel hopeless. Because returning to the village to farm is obviously not something that a young man who has already seen the world is willing to do.
At this time, a few people came up from the army, saying that they would recruit volunteer soldiers to go to Southeast Asia to fight for the liberation of the Chinese compatriots in Nanyang. Wang Fuhai lacked great interest in liberating his compatriots abroad, but he heard that after going to Southeast Asia, he could serve as soldiers for at least another four years, and the army promised to give them cultural guidance. Wang Fuhai was really unwilling to return to his hometown for demobilization, so he said hello to his family and got on a transport plane to Malaysia.
When he arrived in Malaysia and was assigned to the 03 Brigade in the mountains, Wang Fuhai saw the sickle mecha, and liked this strange-looking but violent thing very much, and he was secretly determined to learn how to drive this thing. Only now, he's just an ordinary infantryman.
Before leaving, the squad leader brought back more than a dozen military dogs the size of calves from the battalion headquarters, Wang Fuhai grew up in a small village, and also slaughtered the neighbor's dog to eat meat, which shows that these vicious wolves that look like short-haired wolves, and large dogs that stand taller than people, are still a little trembling.
These dogs are naturally used to search for enemies in the mountains. Their temperament is very docile, so Wang Fuhai complained to his squad leader: "Such an honest dog can't bite people, Bai Chang is such a big man, it's better for us to kill and eat meat." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, this group of big dogs seemed to understand, and they all stared at Wang Fuhai with malicious eyes. Wang Fuhai's squad leader Ha Lu Ha Da smiled and said: "These dogs are the best military dogs in the world, being docile to us does not mean being docile to the enemy, they are very smart, knowing that Lu Dao is wearing this military uniform is a friendly army, so naturally he will not bite you, forget it, when you enter the mountain, you will know Lu Dao." ”
Wang Fuhai's squad soldier led such a big dog into the mountain like this. Although they are not genuine mountain soldiers, the troops have also received strict training, and it is not a problem to cross the mountains and mountains, but this kind of search is very difficult, and they have been looking for most of the day, but they have not found a single ghost.
The squad leader said at this time: "The dogs are hungry, let's sit down and eat military rations, and let the dogs go out to find food by themselves." ”
Wang Fuhai was stunned: "These military dogs can also hunt, it's impossible, right?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment."
More than half an hour later, Wang Fuhai was stunned. Because more than a dozen dogs came back covered in blood, the loot they brought back almost made Wang Fuhai's eyes shatter on the ground - a Malayan rhinoceros. These military dogs, the size of calves, don't know how Lang Dao killed a rhinoceros with at least 800 kilograms, and what surprised Wang Fuhai even more was that none of the military dogs in this group of military dogs, which he originally thought were docile, were injured.
The squad leader clapped his hands happily and said, "Come on, cut this rhinoceros, it is estimated that you may not have the opportunity to eat rhinoceros beef in your life, and there will be no such shop in this village." ”
The soldiers in the squad happily began to cut the rhinoceros beef, and fed some of it to the military dogs, but Wang Fuhai remembered the way the military dogs looked at him before, and his legs trembled.
