Armored Forces (3/6)
"What? We want to form an armored force?”On the remaining section of the city wall of Jiyuan County, Li Yunlong suddenly said loudly.
It seemed that they were extremely surprised. After all, they were armored troops! Although some warlords had some armored units, most of them were light armored vehicles.
There were even some armored vehicles among them. Li Yunlong really didn't know how powerful those vehicles were. Even some large-caliber machine guns and rifle bullets could destroy those things.
In the end, Li Yunlong had seen the world. After World War II, the Russian armored group was only second-tier in China. But to Li Yun Long, it could be considered as a deep impression.
It could be said that Li Yunlong would never be able to forget that situation. It was also during that period that all the soldiers in China could not forget. That powerful neighbor in the north had turned from a good friend to a sharp enemy.
The pressure on the entire Huaxia Country would be immense. The entire outer defense line would collapse in three days. This was the nightmare of all the Huaxia soldiers.
Therefore, in 1991, when the neighbor to the north disintegrated, the entire upper echelons of the Republic heaved a sigh of relief.
Because the country that had been suppressing their capital had finally ceased to exist, and the Iron Mighty Army had finally dissipated. However, the people walking on that road became more and more lonely. Some things were really hard to say whether they were good or bad.
Moreover, after the Russians in the north fell, China had to face the only superpower in the world on its own. The difficulty was too high, so after the Russians were finished, China went into hiding for 20 to 30 years.
Although it was really frustrating at times, if you couldn't bear to do so, you might miss the best development period.
"Why are you so loud? What's there to be surprised about? We have to form an armored force sooner or later!”Zhang Yu said calmly.
"Commander, the cost of the armored force is not small. But since you want to build it, then build it. Old Kong could be considered an expert in this aspect. Back then, he had been confronting the Russians in the north!”Li Yunlong said after a short moment of surprise.
"The cost of the armored force is indeed a little high, but it is still affordable to form a small team. As long as we expand our territory, the rest won't be difficult.”
Li Yunlong nodded and said,""Commander, have you thought about the type of tank? If we have enough funds, I suggest we use the Russian T34. If not, then the Japanese's 97 could be used for now.”
"Don't worry, I've already prepared 150 modified T3485s and 100 light tanks. It's enough to form an armored brigade, but we're short on manpower now. Do you and Kong Jie have the confidence to form an armored regiment within a month?”Zhang Yu said very casually after listening.
After Li Yunlong heard this, he said in surprise,""150 T34s, that's enough! However, if he wanted to form an armored regiment, he couldn't possibly bring along some tanks. He also needed some self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as well as a certain number of mechanized infantry and self-propelled artillery! However, we can also directly form a tank battalion. These battalion-level units can be equipped with a single weapon and equipment. We can deploy them during wartime.”
After Zhang Yu heard this, he fell into deep thought. Although he was considered a military fan, he still could not compare with these real soldiers when it came to some detailed matters!
Li Yunlong saw that Zhang Yu was deep in thought and continued to add,""If it's just a single T34 tank battalion, then I'm confident that within a week, they'll have the initial combat strength. After all, our soldiers have a relatively high level of education, and it's relatively easy to manage them. However, if they planned to recruit soldiers directly from the outside, they might not even be able to get the infantry and tank to cooperate in a month.”
Listening to Li Yun Long's words, Zhang Yu slowly thought about it. After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu said decisively,""Form an armored regiment first. I'll directly replenish the armored soldiers for you later. Kong Jie would be the commander of the first armored regiment! The remaining tanks will be organized into independent armored battalions. I will manage them directly and allocate them according to the situation during the war!”
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Li Yunlong, who was at the side, also nodded. In his opinion, this was a very good method at the moment.
After all, the territory was small now, and the size of the army was also small. This kind of method was completely acceptable.
However, the two of them still needed to think about the organization of the armored forces.
Those ordinary armored battalions, were they simply organized into a tank formation, or were they mixed with infantry to form a mixed formation?
"Commander, I'll get Old Kong here immediately. Let's discuss the issue of the organization. Then, were these independent armored battalions formed by tanks or mixed infantry?”Li Yunlong thought for a while and then said to Zhang Yu.
After Zhang Yu heard this, he thought for a while and said,""Since Kong Jie is an expert in this field, then get him here immediately.”
This time, Kong Jie had followed Zhang Yu and the others to the county town. He was also in the county town, so it was easy to find him.
After a while, Li Yun Long brought Kong Jie to the city wall.
"Commander, I heard that you have something urgent to discuss with me.”Kong Jie said honestly.
Then, Zhang Yu repeated what he had said to Li Yunlong just now. After hearing it, Kong Jie said in surprise,"Commander, this is a good thing! We are now in a plain area. As long as the tank's off-road performance is good enough, it can pose a great threat to the enemy!”
"Indeed. Old Li said that you have experience in commanding armored troops, so I came to ask for your opinion.”Zhang Yu said with a smile.
After Kong Jie heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying,""We both have this experience. Old Li's experience is not inferior to mine at all. As for the formation of the armored force, if it is according to your idea, Commander, I will not be able to do it. Then I suggest that the armored regiment adopt a mixed model, and the independent armored battalion adopt an independent establishment. If necessary, a certain number of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns can be added..."
Kong Jie said very seriously. After Zhang Yu thought for a while, he made a decision."Let's do as you say.”
