The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 383 Armed Helicopter Airborne Regiment

Everyone was stunned by President Wu University's skill. No one noticed that Wu Aihua's total score reached an astonishing 541 points.

"Hey, do the math, how many points did the commander-in-chief get?" Finally, someone among the onlookers thought of the original purpose.

"The total score of the commander-in-chief's six items is 541 points." A staff officer had already calculated it, but he kept his words light, and no one asked him to say even if he knew the number.

"Oh my god, 541 points, isn't this the highest score in the entire army?" Gu Zhutong exclaimed.

"Commander-in-Chief, amazing, amazing!" Those senior officers of the former national army who scored more than [-] points had to give Wu Aihua a thumbs up.

"It's 2 points higher than the second place." Someone broke the news.

When Wu Aihua participated in such activities, he was surrounded by documentary staff and reporters from the National News Agency.As the president of a country, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and ordinary soldiers on the same stage, how could the media not participate.

Three hours later, the media sent the manuscript written by the reporter to Wu Aihua's desk through the Propaganda Bureau of the General Political Department. When Wu Aihua saw the title "Learn from President Wu", he smiled and changed it to "Xiang Wu Aihua" Comrade Learning".

Then, I lowered my head to see if these journalists had the same bragging skills as the reporters of later generations.

Because of the emergence of the "Soldier King System", a wave of military training has consciously emerged in the National Defense Forces system.In the past, the military training of the National Defense Forces was also very good, ahead of the military training levels of other countries in the world, but those were the "rules" of the troops. For ordinary soldiers, they were "tasks", which were closely related to their salary, promotion, etc. .

Now there is a change, because the "Soldier King System" is a comprehensive assessment of soldiers. A soldier may be weak in bombing, but he can quickly improve in cross-country running and shooting. Some people with poor water skills can be targeted. To make up for their own "short boards", in short, the "Soldier King System" is like pointing out the direction for them.

More importantly, this "soldier king system" also stimulated the soldiers' sense of honor and the sense of competition among soldiers.How can soldiers with poor military quality be willing to be mediocre forever?

Soldiers with better military qualities used to be more proud, but after the emergence of this system, they discovered that they had no pride at all, because there were others better than him; at the same time, they also discovered that if they Some aspects are stronger, and it is even possible to be selected into the lightning unit. For those soldiers who are keen on training and combat, but don't like cultural learning, it is a good idea to go down the path of soldier, squad leader, and platoon leader. Impossible, because their culture is not good enough to be admitted to the military academy; however, when their military quality exceeds the "admission line" of the Lightning Force, they may be admitted to the Lightning Force, and as long as they enter the Lightning Force, their rank The lowest is also "Second Lieutenant"!

Indeed, when the "Soldier King System" was unanimously approved by the entire army, the General Staff and the General Political Department came up with a plan to "connect" the import and export of soldiers in each army, so that the soldiers of the whole army can move freely within the army Of course, this is just a soldier. If you want to become an officer, you must go to the military school, but the military school students also adopted this "soldier king" system. If you can't get into the military academy, you can't be an officer in the end.Of course, the "Soldier King" standard for the military academy entrance examination is set relatively low, but even if it is lower, the standard of 180 points is still "third-class mid-grade", and if it is lower than 180 points, don't even think about it.

In addition to military quality, the equipment of the troops has also been improved and strengthened. In addition to some of the content mentioned above, the "seven weapons" have been fully installed in the troops before the end of 1940.

Among them, the 9 divisions of the First Army, Second Army, and Third Army of the Independent Armored Group have been fully refitted with "t-48" heavy tanks, and each division is equipped with 480 vehicles; while the Central Plains Front Army and the Northern Front Army Each of the armies under the Northwest and Northwest Fronts is equipped with an independent armored brigade consisting of 216 "t-36" heavy tanks to replace the original "t-24" tanks; Because its combat areas are mainly fought in the southern jungle areas and islands, the independent armored brigades of its various armies still maintain the "t-24", and the number is still 216.

39式榴弹枪，则在每个排成立一个榴弹枪班，配备4支39式榴弹枪；39式突击步枪、39式重型狙击步枪、39式88mm高射炮、39式冲锋枪、39式连弩等都按规定进行了列装。

As for the 39-type assault rifle and the 39-type submachine gun, in Wu Aihua's original idea, the ordinary soldiers of the southern armies were equipped with the 39-type submachine gun, while the northern armies were equipped with the 39-type assault rifle. The group army also requires the main installation of the Type 39 assault rifle. The reason is that even in the southern jungle, the Type 39 assault rifle is rarely used when it is inconvenient to use.

Naturally, Wu Aihua is a person who can listen to different opinions. Besides, as a special soldier of later generations, Wu Aihua also knows that the use of assault rifles in the jungle will not be greatly affected.

In terms of artillery, when the three artillery armies were formed, they had already been adjusted in place, and there was no need to strengthen them.As the artillery division under the artillery group army, the 230mm heavy artillery is already the largest caliber artillery that can be maneuvered on the battlefield. No matter how large the caliber is, it can only be used as a fixed point of fire, such as shore artillery.

The last change in terms of equipment is the formation of a "armed helicopter airborne regiment" directly under each group army.It should be noted that this "armed helicopter airborne regiment" is completely different from the "Independent Third Army", that is, "K Group Army". The use of parachutes is mainly used for strategic attacks; while the combat mission of the "armed helicopter airborne regiment" is battlefield support, which is close combat, and the airborne method is to slide down the rope from the helicopter, and its nature is tactical strike.

The organization of this regiment is quite special. There are 4 battalions under it, which are called "Attack Battalion", "1st Airborne Battalion", "2nd Airborne Battalion", and "Supply Battalion".

The attack battalion is equipped with 36 "Falcon 1a" attack helicopters. Each helicopter is equipped with an improved squad machine gun and an 1mm recoilless gun. It's enough, because this model has a bomb load of 1 tons.

The airborne battalion is equipped with 36 "Falcon 1c" transport helicopters, which can parachute 432 soldiers to any place within a radius of 250 kilometers for combat; if another airborne battalion is responsible for transporting equipment, this "armed helicopter" The combat effectiveness of the "Helicopter Airborne Regiment" is quite fierce, because as long as the equipment is in place, these 432 soldiers will become the enemy's nightmare at critical moments.

The supply battalion is left behind to transport and protect equipment and ammunition. It includes support units such as transport companies and repair companies.

In the armed helicopter operations of later generations, the war experience of the United States and Soviet Russia is the most mature, and its establishment is also the largest.However, when the armed helicopters of the United States and Soviet Russia were able to skillfully launch into the air for combat or airborne, the world's military technology has reached another level, and individual rocket launchers, such anti-tank and anti-helicopter weapons, have appeared.

Therefore, in addition to the obvious meritorious service in special operations and anti-terrorist operations, the armed helicopters of later generations did not play a big role even in the frontal battlefields of local wars such as the Vietnam War.For example, in the Gulf War that broke out in 1991, the United States mainly used long-range strikes and aerial bombing, and armed helicopters were not used at all.

However, the armed helicopters that appeared at this time could not find obvious restraint weapons on the battlefield, unless they flew over the battlefield and head-on with the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery units.As the commander of the helicopter unit, who would be so stupid as to face the anti-aircraft artillery unit head-on.

Helicopter operations are mainly at low altitudes, and their targets are ground targets, and their steering is very flexible. It can only be said to be a nightmare for anti-aircraft artillery units.

Taking into account the uneven busyness of various armies and group armies, the needs of campaigns, and many other factors, Wu Aihua assigned the numbers of the heavy artillery brigade, rocket launcher brigade, armored brigade, and armed helicopter airborne regiment to the troops directly under each group army. And correspond to each group army.For example, Lin Yangchun's 17th Group Army, and its directly subordinate units are respectively called the Independent 17th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Independent 17th Rocket Artillery Brigade, the Independent 17th Armored Brigade, and the Independent 17th Airborne Regiment (short for "Armed Helicopter Airborne Regiment").

The advantage of this organization is that when other group armies are carrying out combat missions, they can directly transfer away the troops directly under Lin Yangchun according to the orders of the Front Army or the General Command of the National Defense Forces. Lin Yangchun needs the support of these independent troops when he is fighting. In terms of comparison, you only need to report to the above.

In normal times, these directly subordinate troops are under the direct jurisdiction of Lin Yangchun, but in wartime, these troops may be under the jurisdiction of others at any time.In other words, these directly subordinate troops are fixed in peacetime and mobile in wartime.In this way, the existing equipment of the National Defense Forces, especially the heavy firepower, can be used to the greatest extent.

For example, the 17th Army of Lin Yangchun belongs to the Northern Front Army and is usually stationed near Peiping; but when there is a war in the south, the 17th Army as a whole may continue to be stationed in the north, and the 17th Heavy Artillery Brigade may be sent to the south to cooperate with the south. The order of the front army to fight.

……

It is precisely because of the strong equipment foundation of the National Defense Forces that Wu Aihua looks down on the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in the Northeast.Letting it stay in the Northeast is not only a possible force to deal with the United States, but also a real threat to the Russian Far East, so why not do it.

It's just that Chen Jitang's words are indeed reasonable, and this idea is a bad idea.
