Chapter 1380: Sudden Enlightenment

The convoy entered the headquarters of the 707 Brigade.

The 707 Brigade has four battalions and an artillery regiment, and the establishment is similar to that of the Motorized Infantry Brigade, but the equipment is different. There are three armored battalions, one infantry battalion, the armored battalion is equipped with main battle tanks, and the main equipment of the infantry battalion is tracked infantry fighting vehicles. The artillery regiment has three battalions, which are armed with tracked self-propelled guns, such as 155-mm 52-barreled tracked howitzers.

This is a veritable heavy army.

The brigade headquarters is stationed here only the troops directly under the brigade, the artillery regiment is stationed alone at a place forty kilometers away, and of the four battalions, two 96 Tan battalions are stationed in the area close to the border, and another large battalion and infantry battalion equipped with more than 50 99G vehicles are stationed in the main camp area.

Theoretically, without taking into account other factors, the 707 Brigade was able to deal with the armored forces of one corps of the Vietnamese army.

Wang Guoqing and Su Xiaobing stood outside the conference room, and watched Li Mu enter the conference room for a meeting accompanied by the leaders of the 707 Brigade, and the two lit cigarettes and chatted.

Generally speaking, Wang Guoqing and Su Xiaobing are to follow in and be responsible for recording, but this meeting involves some sensitive topics, so except for the leaders attending the meeting, no one else is allowed to be present.

Su Xiaobing was halfway there, and at this time he couldn't help but ask, "Squad leader, what kind of dumb riddle are the leaders and Brigade Commander Chen playing?" ”

"What dumb riddle?" Wang Guoqing didn't know what Su Xiaobing was talking about.

Su Xiaobing dusted off his cigarette ash and said, "Didn't Brigade Commander Chen talk about reorganization on the way, he meant that if the 707th Brigade was transferred to other places after the reorganization, it would have the opportunity to change to a new main tank first, right?"

"Well, that's what it means, the new Lord Tan is too heavy to fight in the rainforest area. Wang Guoqing said.

"But, what does the boss mean, what do I just be the deputy director of the equipment R&D and procurement committee, and I don't match it. Su Xiaobing kept holding back this question all the way.

Wang Guoqing suddenly understood, and smiled.

"Hey, squad leader, you explain it, what do you mean. Su Xiaobing asked in a low voice.

Wang Guoqing smoked a cigarette and squinted at Su Xiaobing.

Su Xiaobing was a little embarrassed and said, "Squad leader, what kind of expression are you, I really didn't understand." You say that these leaders speak in one set, which is really brain-consuming. ”

Spit out a puff of smoke, Wang Guoqing naturally looked around and whispered, "This is nothing difficult to understand. In the end, the army chose X-10 or X-11, in fact, Brigade Commander Chen didn't care very much, because it was useless for him to care. ”

"I know that. Su Xiaobing nodded.

Wang Guoqing continued, "Brigade Commander Chen's purpose is to become the first batch of troops to change their equipment, can you hear this?"

"Of course, he has already said it. Su Xiaobing said.

Wang Guoqing said, "However, the 707th Brigade is a unit facing Southeast Asia, the combat area is a tropical rainforest, and the new main tank weighing 60 tons is not suitable for equipping the 707th Brigade." ”

Su Xiaobing nodded, "I also know this, the two leaders have discussed a lot about this." ”

Wang Guoqing smiled slightly, "Then, the only way for the 707th Brigade to become the first batch of new-style main tanks is to transfer them to areas suitable for using new-style main tanks." This is understandable, right?"

Su Xiaobing nodded again and again, "Of course I understand this......

As he spoke, he froze, his expression suddenly became surprised, and then he was a little sluggish, and then his pupils lit up, and he suddenly realized.

"Damn, I understand!" Su Xiaobing jumped up excitedly.

Wang Guoqing glared, "Calm down." ”

Su Xiaobing hurriedly suppressed his excitement, then shook his head and sighed, "Alas, it turns out that Brigade Commander Chen has such a purpose, and he dared to deliberately pull the topic to this side from the beginning, this is his real purpose...... Grandma has a leg, and what the leaders said is really profound......"

"No wonder our leader said that I was just the deputy director of the Equipment R&D and Procurement Committee......"

After figuring out the joint, Su Xiaobing understood everything, and he suddenly realized that the one who can be the leader is definitely not an ordinary person, no matter what, there are two brushes, just such a conversation in the clouds and fog, and the IQ margin is not very sufficient, he can't understand it.

Wang Guoqing patted Su Xiaobing's shoulder and said with a smile, "Learn slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Su Xiaobing was very ashamed, although he respected Wang Guoqing very much, he still looked down on Wang Guoqing in his heart, this is because Wang Guoqing is a non-commissioned officer. The officer's natural sense of superiority will be more or less somewhat. Today, he discovered that the gap between him and Wang Guoqing is not a star and a half.

In the conference room, the leaders began to meet, saying that it was a meeting, but it was better to say that it was a discussion.

After Li Mu on the main seat briefly said a few opening words, he went straight to the point, "I came here this time mainly to understand the troops' views on the new main tank. First of all, I will talk to you, and now I will go to the grassroots units for a walk and have a discussion with the officers and men at the grassroots level. Let me explain first, don't fix those vain activities, I don't have so much time to talk to you. ”

Chen Tashan said with a smile, "Old leader, you can rest assured, you will definitely implement your instructions without discount." ”

"On the way, I talked a lot with Brigade Commander Chen, you are the most experienced unit in using 99 Tan, and you are also the only unit with actual combat experience. I would like to hear your views on what kind of new main tanks meet the requirements of future forms of warfare. Li Mudao.

The brigade chief of staff raised his hand and said, "Chief, let me tell you." ”

Li Mu nodded.

The chief of staff of the brigade was obviously prepared, he glanced at the folder and said, "In recent years, our brigade has carried out research on the tactics of urban operations and explored the use of armored forces in urban operations. The experience of foreign armies tells us that there are very few active main battle tanks in the world that can well complete urban combat missions. The special topography of the city limits the combat effectiveness of armored forces, which the armies of various countries have been studying for several years. The right tactics, the right main battle tank, the U.S. military even changed an urban combat model of the main battle tank based on the Abrams. ”

However, the results of their trials are still not very promising. ”

After a pause, the brigade chief of staff continued, "Although our brigade is facing the rainforest area, the final goal of the war is to capture the city. Urban warfare is very important to us, it is a very important subject. Based on the experience of foreign armies and our research conclusions, the main battle tank needs to have a more comprehensive defense capability and a higher level of data collection capability in urban combat. ”

Shaking his head, the brigade chief of staff said, "The 99G in active service has exposed a lot of problems in this regard, especially the ability to collect data. On the other hand, urban combat places higher demands on the mobility of vehicles, especially acceleration performance. ”

Smiling, he said, "We often joke that if the 99G is a family car that accelerates to 100 kilometers in 10 seconds, then what we need in the future is a performance car that accelerates to 100 kilometers in less than six seconds." After testing, the survival rate of the main battle tank with better acceleration performance in urban combat has increased tenfold!"

It is not difficult to imagine that in a city like a forest of buildings, with a three-dimensional state of rules and regulations, and dense roads and streets, perhaps the acceleration performance can be faster than a second to dodge an enemy attack.

The most crucial point is that the future opponents are more RPG-style enemies. They may not have very advanced anti-armor weapons, but they do have an infinite number of point-fire firearms. No matter how tough the main battle tank is, if it takes an RPG in the ass, it will be the same.
