Chapter 160: Changes in the regimental rank
As for the number of personnel at the regimental level, Tang Zheng also carefully calculated.
First of all, of course, five field companies should be upgraded to battalions, and according to the current scale, one battalion has 2,500 people, a total of 12,500 people.
There is also the current city guard company, and the 300-person defense of the ten-square-kilometer wall is a bit thin, so after thinking about it, Tang Zheng decided to upgrade the city guard unit to a battalion.
A battalion would be a lot more if it were all used to guard the wall, so the unit would have to shoulder more responsibilities.
For example, explosion-proof, raiding, firefighting, etc. in the city, as well as the troops now sent by Tang Zheng to various factories, have also been taken over by the city guard troops.
There are also soldiers of the radar squad, soldiers of the giant artillery squad, and patrols and guards in the inner city, all of which are handed over to the city guard troops, so they are designated as a battalion.
There is also the engineer unit, there are too few companies now, and the future construction needs are also very large, so Tang Zheng simply gave the engineer a battalion directly.
These units have been expanded to 17,500 troops.
In addition, the regimental cooking unit and the medical team will be expanded, each to a company of 300 personnel.
The guard platoon is to be turned into a guard company, and it will also need 300 people.
The total number of people is now about to become 18,400.
Another large number of people is the Army Aviation Battalion.
The previous army aviation company was basically a virtual reality, except for those plane pilots, there was only one paratrooper, Hu Yuhang, and now Tang Zheng plans to increase the paratroopers in large numbers.
The specific number of paratroopers has not yet been decided, but with the promotion of the regiment commander, the scale of the air force of the Chaguang Army will definitely be expanded, and there will be not only paratroopers, but also pilots and ground personnel of the air force, and Tang Zheng has also given a battalion establishment.
That would bring the number to 20,900.
There are also artillery and armored troops, hundreds of tanks, fighting vehicles and artillery are unmanned, and about 400 people will be added.
Coupled with the emergence of new arms, the total number of artillery and armored units should be around 1,000 to 1,500 people.
The next step is to upgrade the guard units.
After all, he has only one person, and it is impossible for the guard unit to expand indefinitely if he continues to upgrade in the future, so can he be promoted to the commander of the army and add a guard brigade? That's an exaggeration.
So the guards are enough to get to a company.
But Tang Zheng also found that he did not have an elite army that could be deployed at any time, after all, whether it was a field army or a city guard force, they all had their own responsibilities, and he also needed a force by his side that could be deployed at any time.
Therefore, Tang Zheng planned to establish a purely mechanized directly subordinate battalion as a rapid reaction force around him.
In this way, the number of people is almost 25,000.
And Tang Zheng also has some auxiliary troops, such as special service personnel, such as communicators, and Guo Yun said that there will be a railway station and mapping in the future, and there may be additional people at that time.
Tang Zheng always has to reserve some space for himself, in case the army wants to be restructured or something in the future, there must not be no room for activity at all.
The newly promoted regiment commander is estimated to have some unexpected troops.
So Tang Zheng calculated a number for himself, 30,000 people in a regiment!
When this number was calculated, Tang Zheng himself was taken aback.
"Good fellow, this is almost catching up with a division of the Empire."
"No matter what, I've finally been promoted to regimental commander, if the number of people can't compare to the alliance's troops, wouldn't it be too bad."
"And there will be no less battles in the future, not only zombies, but also people, so the more troops, the better."
After Tang Zheng made the decision, the system voice sounded.
[After the team quota is completed, the upper limit of the number of team members is determined, 30,000 people. 】
[The conditions for upgrading the regimental commander to the brigade commander are unlocked.] 】
[Condition 1: The whole group is full. 】
[Condition 2: Kill a total of 30 million zombies.] 】
[Condition 3: 30 million upgrade funds.] 】
[Condition 4: Complete ten cartographic buildings. 】
[Condition 5: The number of survivors under his command is more than 5 million.] 】
[Condition 6: The territory area is not less than 500,000 square kilometers. Note: It needs to be recognized by the surrounding forces. 】
With the first four conditions, Tang Zheng had already been mentally prepared, and even he could roughly come out.
But the two new conditions surprised Tang Zheng.
Asking for five million survivors is very difficult.
Even if all the survivors in the current Northern Region are gathered, it is difficult to say whether it can reach five million, and the number of people in Chasing Light City is as hot as it is now, and the number of people is as good as 600,000.
The combined number of the twelve bases of the alliance does not exceed half a million.
Although there are quite a few other bases, the number of people is generally not too many, and all of them are added together, and Tang Zheng is not sure that it exceeds five million.
And it is impossible to gather everyone, at least for the current Chasing Light City, Tang Zheng's decision on the population is already the limit, and now the Ministry of the Interior has stopped recruiting survivors.
So in order to complete this task, Tang Zheng must go out and even establish a larger base.
But the new city of chasing light will not be able to go out for a while, so don't even think about this matter for the time being.
The sixth condition is even more harsh, and the territory must be no less than 500,000 square kilometers.
Hanyue is indeed very large, with an area of more than 30 million square kilometers in the country, but what does that have to do with Tang Zheng?
At least for now, only the ten square kilometers at the foot of the Chasing Light City belong to him, and it is impossible for the empire to give in.
But this is also created by the general environment of the end times, all the survivors are doing this, and they can't survive without a base of survival.
But to occupy 500,000 square kilometers, it is different, at least while the empire is still there, this is the behavior of a warlord.
Moreover, this occupation also needs to be recognized by other surrounding forces, which is even more difficult to handle.
Tang Zheng is not afraid of other survivor forces, but it is not ordinary to be recognized by the empire.
Come to think of it, it is possible to get the empire to recognize the power of the survivors, but it is difficult for the empire to tolerate this kind of behavior by occupying the surrounding lands.
"War system, you are really a system born for war, I can't do it without fighting."
"If one day I accidentally become the emperor, it will be your fault."
Tang Zheng also had a big heart, sighed, and threw these harsh conditions aside.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's take a look at what good things I have given myself when I am upgraded to the head of the regiment.
The page of the system opened, first of all, equipment.
[Regiment Leader's Regular Uniform: The price is 20 gold. 】
[Railway: 10 gold per meter.] Note: Completion of the railway station mapping is required. 】
[14.5mm bullet: 0.5 gold.] 】
[Multi-flavored canned military meat: priced at 0.1 gold.] 】
[Frogman Set: Priced at 20 gold.] 】
[High-altitude 180-degree miniature camera: priced at 20 gold. 】
These are the equipment updates, among which the railway and high-altitude 180-degree cameras have attracted Tang Zheng's attention.
Railways, this thing has finally appeared, as long as the construction of the railway station is completed, the railway can be laid outward.
Tang Zheng had observed the previous railway, which was rusty and not very easy to use, but rust removal was now very simple for the Light Chaser Army.
Rust removal is not as laborious as laying a railway, and it is not a problem to remove rust for hundreds of kilometers a day, and when the time comes, as soon as it is connected to the railway network of the empire in the past, you can use the railway to go to many places in all directions.
The 14.5 mm caliber bullet marks a further improvement in the firepower of Tang Zheng's troops, and this weapon is about to come out even more terrifying than ordinary heavy machine guns.
The high-altitude camera made Tang Zheng a little puzzled, this looks like a single soldier's equipment, but what kind of troops will shoot at high altitude? Could it be a paratrooper? But it doesn't feel very much like that.
After reading these, Tang Zheng did not look at the weapon first this time, but looked at the soldier page.
[War Eagle: Sold for 300 gold.] 】
[Air Force Ground Crew: Priced at 200 gold. 】
[Sailor: Priced at 200 gold.] 】
[Underwater Sapper: Sells for 500 gold.] 】
[Administrative Officer: The price is 300 gold.] 】
[Electronic Information Soldier: The price is 500 gold. 】
[Agent (Spy): Sells for 1000 gold. 】
[Transport Aircraft Combat Group: 10 people, priced at 5,000 gold.] 】
Seeing these recruits, Tang Zheng realized how different he was from the battalion level after being promoted to the regimental level.
He remembered this war eagle under his command, which he had entered into the system at the beginning, but he had forgotten it for a long time.
The war eagle is a golden eagle that can be domesticated.
As a hegemon-level bird among flying birds, the golden eagle has strong eyesight, flight ability and combat effectiveness, which can help people fight, reconnoitre, etc.
In addition, when the plane takes off and lands, the golden eagle can be used to drive away the birds near the airport.
I just don't know what the combat effectiveness of the golden eagle produced by the system is now.
Tang Zheng also knew who the high-altitude camera was for at this time, that is, it hung on the neck of the golden eagle and fed back the data information.
The appearance of soldiers from the ground crew of the Air Force also proved Tang Zheng's previous guess that the scale of the Army Aviation Regiment was about to expand.
And the appearance of sailors and underwater sappers was something Tang Zheng did not expect.
Do you have the ability to build ships now?
The appearance of the administrative officer can be regarded as solving one of Tang Zheng's urgent needs.
He has been suffering from the fact that he has no talents in government affairs, and has to rely on the power of survivors, which is very difficult to use, and now the system has helped him solve this trouble.
In the future, all units in the City of Light Chasing can be under the direct jurisdiction of their own people, and they will never have to worry about betrayal.
The emergence of the electronic information corps indicates that the operations of the Chasing Light Army will be more modern and intelligent in the future.
The appearance of the agent means that Tang Zheng has the ability to infiltrate in the future, and his military intelligence bureau will be officially formed.
As for the final transport aircraft combat group, Tang Zheng knew that it was definitely not a helicopter.
Because a transport aircraft combat group requires 10 people, this means that he can already build large fixed-wing transport aircraft.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng couldn't wait to find out what weapons and equipment he had appeared.
