Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 184 Doubling Troop Strength

The purchase of the armored train was completed, and Tang Zheng boarded the train.

The conductor is already waiting here at the front of the train, with twenty flight attendants behind him.

"Train conductor Sunan, report to the general!"

A 27-year-old young man saluted Tang Zheng and reported.

Tang Zheng replied, "Does our train have a name?"

"Report to the general, there is no name yet, the general can name the train."

This is the first battle train of the Light Chasing Army, and it really should have a more appropriate name.

Tang Zheng thought for a while: "This train is as majestic as an armored dragon, so let's call it the Light Chasing Dragon."

"Thank you general for naming."

Following Tang Zheng's naming, the words Chasing Light Dragon appeared on the front of the train.

Sunan led Tang Zheng to check the situation on the train.

The first and second is the artillery train. The 203mm caliber howitzer is almost the peak caliber of the howitzer, and its power is amazing.

The 25mm chain cannon is also enough to destroy all uninvited passengers who want to approach the train.

The missile carriages in the third and fourth sections are even more powerful weapons for long-range combat, and the rocket pods are also better. The ground-to-ground missiles are enough to strike targets [-] kilometers away.

But at present, it is not possible to strike that far, because the coverage of the vehicle radar is not enough, unless it is within the radar range of the base, free strikes can be achieved.

Anti-aircraft missiles can even deal with enemies coming from the air and ensure the all-round safety of the train.

The five trains behind can carry chariots as well as soldiers. The Gatling machine guns on those trains are anti-zombie and anti-personnel artifacts.

Tang Zheng focused on inspecting the fifth carriage, which is a carriage integrating dining car, bathroom, and leisure space, divided into two parts: ordinary area and luxury area.

Tang Zheng came to the luxury area and sat for a while, feeling that sitting here was very comfortable, the big bed specially prepared for him that could accommodate three people was also very comfortable.

It's just that Tang Zheng didn't think that this big bed could be fully utilized.

Girls nowadays don't know what's wrong, their eyesight is really bad, no one actively pursues such a handsome guy with a heavy hand like himself.

This armored train was purely made for combat, Tang Zheng felt that he still needed some other vehicles.

So he spent another 60 gold to buy a passenger car and a freight car respectively.

Passenger cars can carry a large number of troops, and trucks can carry a large number of chariots, and they can also pull goods back.

These three freight trains will be on standby at Zhuguang Railway Station first, and they can leave at any time when needed.

The train station, railway tracks, and three freight trains cost Tang Zheng 310 million in total.

With about 200 million left in his hand, Tang Zheng decided to continue increasing his troops.

First, he wanted to increase the size of his armored forces.

Currently he has two armored battalions, one battalion has thirty tanks, including twenty light tanks and ten main battle tanks.

This scale is not enough, Tang Zheng directly added forty main battle tanks, twenty for each armored battalion.

In this way, each armored battalion has fifty tanks, of which the number of main battle tanks has reached thirty, forming a powerful strike group.

In the main battle of 280 gold cars, forty cars are [-] million.

Plus a group of 1500 tank soldiers, a total of 280 gold, a total of [-] million.

After the tanks were replenished, Tang Zheng continued to replenish the self-propelled artillery.

In the war against the alliance, this kind of artillery was easy to move and performed well. Tang Zheng had ten, which was far from enough.

Thirty self-propelled artillery pieces were replenished at one time, each with 90 gold, for a total of [-] gold.

Add 96 artillery battle groups, two thousand gold groups, a total of [-] gold, a total of [-].

After purchasing the self-propelled artillery, continue to purchase the Apache helicopter.

The original ten planes, ten more planes, plus the crew, is another [-] million.

After buying these two arms, there are 800 million gold left in hand.

Tang Zheng originally planned to buy the An-124 large transport plane, but this kind of plane cannot take off without an airport, so he can only give up temporarily.

He now has twenty transport planes, this is the background of the Army Aviation Corps, Tang Zheng decided to start increasing the paratroopers.

Paratroopers can carry out long-range airdrops and carry out strikes behind enemy lines, which is very convenient to operate.

One paratrooper costs 500 gold, with a 10 gold parachute bag, plus some other firearms and equipment, the price of a paratrooper is 650 gold.

Tang Zheng bought 1500 paratroopers at one time, a total of five companies.

97 gold.

With about 700 million gold in hand, Tang Zheng began to increase the number of ordinary soldiers this time.

All of Tang Zheng's infantry battalions are currently not fully staffed, and even the City Guard battalion, which is constantly expanding these days, actually has a total number of [-].

The rest of the field battalions consisted of only five companies with 1500 people.

Even the Fifth Battalion is currently only a company, which no longer has any advantage in the mercenary world.

Next, Tang Zheng moved from the first battalion to the fourth battalion, adding three ordinary companies to each battalion, so that the pure combat troops of each field battalion reached 2400 people.

There are eight companies in a battalion, which has already broken the military system of the empire. Generally, the royal army of the empire has only three companies in a battalion, and it's not a reinforced company like Tang Zheng's, which is overcrowded.

There is still the fifth battalion, Tang Zheng will not favor one another, he must strengthen the fifth battalion's right to speak outside, so he is also directly assigned to the fifth battalion and seven companies!

A total of 240 companies have been added, and another [-] million funds.

After finishing all these, Tang Zheng's five field battalions have all reached full strength!
Each battalion has eight companies, and there are also guard platoons, cooking platoons, and medical platoons. Together, they are directly full, and each battalion has reached as many as 2500 people.

With five battalions full, the funds in Tang Zheng's hands plummeted to 450 million gold.

In this way, Tang Zheng didn't stop, he expanded the troops directly under him to a battalion directly under him!

The other field forces have their own missions, this directly subordinate force will follow Tang Zheng in the north and south, and be under his direct daily command.

But before the expansion, he found that the barracks were not enough.

Tang Zheng had no choice but to suspend construction and start replenishing the barracks. He originally had eight barracks that could hold 2 people.

This time he added three more, increasing the capacity to 500.

After he purchased the last barracks, he gave the authority to Michael of the fifth battalion to choose a place to set up camp, so that the soldiers of the fifth battalion could have a shelter.

After all the barracks have been placed, the inner city is almost full.

Eleven barracks, two power plants, a railway station, a fresh water purification plant, an arsenal, a banknote printing factory, a combat command center, his own official residence, and even a buffer zone of one square kilometer, as well as cannons, etc. It is almost full, and there is not much space to continue to accommodate the building.

But overall it's okay, much more relaxed than the outer city.

Continuing on with the rampage, Tang Zheng expanded the troops directly under him to a full battalion.

However, this battalion did not come according to the configuration of field troops, but a mixed battalion.

There were only five companies in this battalion, but each company had 500 men.

The whole battalion is composed of elite four-star fighters, including almost every branch of the army.

Moreover, the vehicles of this battalion are almost all composed of armored vehicles.

Tang Zheng bought a large number of armored vehicles before, but with the continuous expansion of tanks and self-propelled artillery, it is no longer suitable for armored vehicles to be installed in the armored battalion, so Tang Zheng simply assigned these vehicles to the battalion directly under him.

Tang Zheng had a total of one hundred armored vehicles in his hands, and they were directly deployed to the battalion directly under his command. One armored vehicle can carry 23 people, so it can carry 300 people.

There are also one hundred Willys jeeps before, which are used to carry Gatling machine guns, and can also carry 200 people.

For this battalion, Tang Zheng directly added 300 people to the field force, and the elite force he mobilized cost about 120 million in total, because there are many high-level troops in it.

For example, anti-aircraft infantry, Tang Zheng equipped every battle platoon, as well as snipers and flamethrower fighters, as well as a large number of scouts.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of this battalion directly under it can be called the champion of the whole army, and it is all composed of elite veterans.

There are also a hundred armored vehicles as an assault force, as long as they don't appear in the situation of tank battles, they can adapt to any combat situation.

After the direct battalion was supplemented, the funds in Tang Zheng's hands dropped to 250 million, and the four barracks just now also cost 80.

Tang Zheng didn't stop here, he added a hundred soldiers of various types to the armored train, including artillery and heavy machine gun teams, as well as scientific research soldiers, used to control those cannons, Gatling machine guns and missiles.

Three more companies were added to the engineering unit, bringing the number of engineering units to as many as 500.

Then the two departments of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Secret Service each added 300 people. There are not too many people in this special force.

There is another branch of arms, that is, the air force ground support.

Now the army aviation battalion has also formed a scale, and ground staff is also indispensable. Although there is no airport yet, the planes are now helicopters, and they are all parked in an open space in the inner city.

Tang Zheng added [-] air force ground crews, also laying the foundation for future airport construction.

After doing all this, he spent a total of 80 gold, leaving only 170 million gold in his hands, so Tang Zheng finally stopped.

At this time, the strength of his troops once again advanced by leaps and bounds.

Five fully staffed field battalions plus the directly subordinate battalion, the number is [-].

There is also the Army Aviation Battalion, [-] paratroopers enlisted, dozens of aircraft pilots, and ground crews, the number also reached [-].

There are 2000 people in the city guard battalion, and 500 people in the engineering unit.

The security company, the cooking company, and the medical company all add up to 900 people.

There are more than 300 armored troops and more than 500 artillery troops.

There are 300 people from the Secret Service, and 300 people from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

There are other miscellaneous people, including armored train units, radar units, personnel in the combat command center, personnel in scientific research institutes, etc.

The cumulative total has reached 500 people, which is directly doubled compared to before.

There is still a gap of 500 people before the regiment is fully staffed.

Tang Zheng didn't continue to fight violently, he wanted to leave some room for personnel.

The city guards and engineers are not fully staffed yet, and there is only a gap of 5000 at most. He still has not purchased large transport planes, and has not added frogman troops. There must be some room for this.

Although the money was almost spent, Tang Zheng's heart was rarely enriched.

With these elite troops, he will have a strong capital for his next expansion.
