The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 56 Pulled to the front line?

Wolf Warrior Camp.

This camp was a temporary site built as a result of emergency construction by the militia camp.

Basically all facilities are available.

Shooting range, hook ladder, barbed wire, gym, swimming pool, race track.
The Wolf Warriors Special Forces officially entered the camp.

This place is also far away from Panshan Machinery Factory, so the training program can be kept highly confidential.

At this time, swimming training is in progress.

根据训练目标要求，当走上正轨以后，特种兵日常训练项目有早晨每人负重20公斤跑5000米、训练挂钩梯上下300回、穿越30米铁丝网来回300趟、健身房15公斤哑铃举150下、拉力器100下、臂力棒100下、中午扛暴晒形体训练、训练射靶1个小时、散打对抗、2000米游泳。

As for now, there is still some distance from this goal.

For example, in swimming, half of the people cannot swim, and among those who can swim, there is only one who can swim 2000 meters in one breath.

Among the 30 members of the Wolf Warrior Special Forces Team, only one was able to fully meet the standards and persevere.

Liu Tao and Liu Yongxin were walking in the camp, talking about the next arrangements for the Wolf Warriors Special Forces Team.

"Captain Liu, training is training, but it can't just stop at training." Liu Tao said, "We can hold exercises and let the Wolf Warriors special forces participate in the exercises. During the exercises, the Wolf Warriors special forces can adapt to the new tactics, and other troops can also experience the power of special tactics firsthand."

Liu Yongxin smiled and said, "I would like to send them to the frontline battlefield to train their troops in the complex and cruel environment of the battlefield."

"Look at the effect of hunting monkeys!" Liu Yongxin was murderous.

'Roar of the Red Dragon' lasted only about a month and then it was over.

This made Liu Yongxin very unsatisfied. Even though the 119th Regiment had achieved brilliant results, Liu Yongxin still felt unsatisfied.

As a commander, Liu Yongxin believes that the battlefield is the best place to train soldiers.

There is a difference between a soldier who has seen blood and a soldier who has not seen blood.

At the summary meeting of "Red Dragon's Roar", the leader cursed loudly, saying that the troops were not as good as they were 30 years ago except for their weapons!

The troops 30 years ago were veterans of hundreds of battles. Except for their inferior weapons and equipment, their organization, discipline, and combat effectiveness were definitely at the pinnacle of infantry and light combat troops.

Back then on the Liaodong Peninsula, the United Nations forces, which were armed to the teeth, failed to achieve their strategic goals after several changes of commanders, and finally had to sign a ceasefire agreement.

Liu Tao said: "It's not the right time yet. We can try it in two or three months."

The end of the "Red Dragon's Roar" operation does not mean that everything is calm now.

On the contrary, it was quite tense.

After all, Big Brother was supporting him from behind. The monkey lost badly this time and didn’t want to lose both himself and the battle, so he jumped up and down.

Although the troops are now withdrawing to their original bases, one division is deployed on the front line, ready to fight at any time.

"But Captain Liu, you will go to the division headquarters in three months, and this battlefield test will not be under your command." Liu Tao has already received the news.

"Roar of the Red Dragon" is the biggest operation in the past ten years, so naturally there will be rewards based on merit.

Merits must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished!
This is an iron rule that is essential for a strong fighting army!
Liu Yongxin was promoted twice in a row and will be transferred to the 41st Division. The 41st Division was previously a Type B Infantry Division, with three regiments under its jurisdiction: the 121st, 122nd, and 123rd Regiments. Last year, an emergency order was issued to expand it to a Type A Infantry Division.

Although the 41st Division performed brilliantly and achieved fruitful results in this "Red Dragon's Roar" operation, it is still far behind the 40th Division and its combat effectiveness is incomparable.

However, it was precisely because of this that Liu Yongxin was able to be transferred to the 41st Division based on his military achievements. Otherwise, this military achievement would not be enough to command an ace division like the 40th Division.

"What are you afraid of? A married daughter will return to her parents' home someday." Liu Yongxin said with a faint smile, "Besides, it's normal for me to go to the 41st Division with the Wolf Warriors Special Forces Team."

Ok!

Liu Tao was speechless.

If we take a lot of people to the 41st Division, that would naturally be inappropriate, but if we only take the 30-man Wolf Warrior special forces team, no one can say no.

But this is also a good thing, as it is more conducive to the construction plan that I come up with.

There are many weapons and equipment that have not been purchased by the troops, so Liu Tao will not sit around and produce them and pile them up in the warehouse.

Even if it is to support the construction of the troops, we need someone to support us.

Liu Tao thought about it and realized that he had gained considerable influence in the 14th Army's jurisdiction without realizing it.

He has connections with the 40th, 41st, and 42nd Divisions.

It’s scary to think about it.

If in a few years he comes up with a plan to build combined battalions and combined brigades, I think he will be able to get some support. At least building one or two combined battalions as an experimental exploration should not be a problem.

Liu Tao's heart beat fast when he thought of the combined battalion and combined brigade.

He still clearly remembered the powerful firepower of the combined battalion and combined brigade. That powerful firepower should be able to cure Rabbit's "fear of insufficient firepower."

After all, those are two combined battalions, which can annihilate a motorized infantry regiment of the Polar Bear within 24 hours during the exercise.

As for the weapons and equipment of the combined battalion, they are very expensive and particularly costly. It is equipped with more than ten arms, covering the basic arms of the army, and has hundreds of weapons in stock, taking into account the combination of light, heavy, long and short firepower. It is very difficult to set up a standard combined battalion now. The money spent is several times that of a regiment, and there must be technical soldiers. It is not enough to have advanced weapons. However, it is no problem to set up a poor version of a combined battalion.

Later, it was upgraded step by step from the poor version of the combined battalion to the low-end version of the combined battalion, and then to the standard version of the combined battalion.

While his thoughts were still fresh, Liu Tao returned to the office and wrote down the "Plan for the Construction of a Combined Brigade" and the "Plan for the Construction of a Combined Battalion".

As the name implies, a combined force brigade includes artillery, infantry, armored troops, reconnaissance troops and other arms, and has a powerful firepower strike system. A combined brigade contains four combined battalions, one each for artillery, air defense, combat support and service support, and is divided into light, medium and heavy combined brigades.

A combined battalion includes tanks, infantry, artillery, and engineering units. It solves problems such as infantry-tank coordination, infantry-artillery coordination, and obstacle clearing at the battalion level. A combined battalion has a strength of about 700 people and can be divided into three types: heavy, medium, and light. The heavy combined battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness. A heavy combined battalion has 3 tank companies, 2 mechanized infantry companies, 1 artillery company, 1 logistics support company, and 1 combat support company.

A combined battalion is capable of countering or even defeating the enemy's motorized infantry regiment, and is also the combat core of a combined brigade.

Based on the news reports he had read and the information he had consulted, Liu Tao set aside some time every day to write about the construction plans for combined brigades and combined battalions.

It is unrealistic for China to build all the combined battalions and combined brigades now.

First, we have no money; second, we have no weapons and equipment; third, we have no technical personnel!
And there is another very important reason, that is, the exploration has not even started, and there is no reserve of command talent in this area!
