Take Off My Aviation Era

Not to mention Zheng Chaolin, the other officers and soldiers on the two 100mm wheeled assault guns under his command were all stunned when they saw the scene in front of them under the dim light.

I saw six Type 05 155mm self-propelled howitzers and four Type 03 300mm heavy rockets rumbling past in the open space not far away!

You must know that these two equipment are big guys with a net weight of about 40 tons. With the carrying capacity of the 18NB transport aircraft, only one can be loaded at a time.

More importantly, these two pieces of equipment are useless to transport the guns, and they must be equipped with complete command and support equipment to exert their combat effectiveness.

Obviously, the Air Force's Yun-18NB transport aircraft also sent the command and support equipment of the two artillery pieces.

Zheng Chaolin counted carefully. The artillery radar vehicle, artillery command vehicle, artillery reconnaissance vehicle, ammunition supply vehicle, and engineering repair vehicle are just two types of artillery.

In other words, the training in the snow-covered plateau this time, except for the 122mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers of a battalion of their Blue Army brigade, a battalion of 100mm wheeled assault guns, a company of 122mm wheeled rockets, and a company of 120mm wheels. In addition to the self-propelled howitzer, it has also been reinforced by a company of 155mm self-propelled howitzers and a company of 300mm heavy rockets.

You must know that the artillery formations of the Blue Army Brigade are all fully staffed. An artillery battalion has 18 artillery pieces, and an artillery company has 6 artillery pieces.

Of course, heavy artillery such as 300mm rocket artillery is not included in the traditional organization, but a battalion with 12 guns and a company with 4 guns.

Therefore, when calculated in this way, the number of artillery pieces with a caliber above 100mm in the Blue Army reached 58.

It can cover any target within the range of 2 kilometers to 120 kilometers.

In terms of quantity and quality, they are several times stronger than the army units deployed in New Delhi in the southern foothills of the Himalayas.

It is important to know that the largest artillery calibre equipped by the New Delhi Army in this area is the Soviet-made 120mm mortar, and the barrel artillery is only the British 105mm howitzer.

As for the FH-77B 155mm heavy artillery that New Delhi politicians say, even a shadow can not be seen.

It’s not that the frontline troops don’t want to equip it. The main reason is that the number of this artillery is too small and expensive. The New Delhi headquarters firmly holds it in its own hands and is not easily decentralized. Secondly, and most importantly, this artillery weighs itself. It is too large, and the infrastructure leading to the plateau is too poor, resulting in poor roads that can’t bear such heavy equipment at all.

Because of this, there is no practical effect at all except for a mouthful.

Of course, if the caliber is not comparable to the quantity and there is a certain advantage, it can also form a deterrent to the surrounding area.

But the problem is that the number of guns equipped by the army in the New Delhi plateau area is also pitifully small.

The entire plateau heavy forces group together has nearly 50,000 people, and there are only two professional artillery regiments!

Looking at regiment-level units, it looks like that. In fact, the artillery regiment of the New Delhi Army is actually composed of artillery battalions of other countries, and it is still a downsizing artillery battalion, because each regiment is equipped with only 12 artillery.

Together, the two regiments have 24 doors, which is less than half the size of the Blue Army brigade.

It’s just that there are not many artillery units, but the New Delhi’s artillery force is full of personnel, each regiment has at least four or five hundred people. In this regard, the artillery regiment in New Delhi is comparable to artillery from other countries in number. The regiment really doesn't make much difference.

As for the range...

The farthest distance is 23 kilometers. This is because the air in the plateau area is thin, and the shells can have a chance to hit farther, otherwise there is only a range of 18 kilometers.

No matter how far away, the New Delhi Plateau garrison can only be helpless, because they have no special ammunition such as bottom row shells, rocket extended-range shells, and laser-guided shells other than ordinary standard ammunition in their hands.

Even the most basic ordinary ammunition, the ammunition base of the artillery unit of the New Delhi Plateau garrison did not meet the requirements of the training program.

No way, whoever makes New Delhi's basic ammunition unable to be self-sufficient and can only rely on imports, so that the ammunition reserves of the whole army are pitifully low. Coupled with the bad road conditions, it is a miracle that the troops in the plateau area can have ammunition reserves. , What more bikes?

Otherwise, why have the artillery units been absent from several exercises?

Is it because the artillery doesn't want to fire two cannons and tremble with prestige?

Of course not, but when the artillery started fighting like this, New Delhi really couldn't afford it. The so-called gunshots, the Golden Wanliang is really not a joke here in New Delhi!

Because of this, in the face of the blue army brigade’s superb artillery firepower configuration, it was not only Zheng Chaolin who was shocked by the personal participants, but Major General Annier in the Jinguancheng consulate was even more scared and sweating through the open live video footage.

Because in addition to the 05-type 155mm self-propelled howitzer and the 03-type 300mm heavy rocket that strengthened a company of the Blue Army brigade, Anil also found a company in the screen, a total of 12 96A main battle tanks and 4 The launch vehicle, a radar vehicle and a communications command vehicle formed the Hongqi-16B field air defense missile company.

However, it was not these that made Anil the most frightened, but the construction and production brigade that had been raided by combat readiness this time.

The main battle equipment equipped by the entire unit is a series of light mechanized equipment derived from 8*8 wheeled armored vehicles.

Whether it is an artillery or an assault gun, whether it is a command vehicle or an emergency repair vehicle, the chassis is exactly the same. The only difference is the weapons or equipment on the chassis.

Seeing this scene, Major General Anil, who was born in the army, came to mind a concept of army organization proposed by the US army several years ago, the so-called "Stryker Combat Brigade."

That is, using 8*8 Stryker wheeled armored vehicles as a basis, a series of equipment including artillery, assault, anti-armor, infantry fighting vehicles, ambulance, and emergency repairs are formed, so as to rely on the powerful American transport aviation force to achieve 48 The new army combat concept that arrived around the world in a few hours ~ www.readwn.com ~ its original idea was to deal with the heavy tank clusters that were invaded by the Soviet Union in Western Europe.

Although the Stryker wheeled armored vehicle has little defense and blood is thin, it can't handle the Soviet heavy tank troops on paper. However, the Stryker wheeled armored vehicle relies on a wheeled structure, and its mobility is far superior to that of Soviet tanks, so it can rely on Western Europe. The towns and the developed road network carried out mobile defensive operations against the swooping Soviet heavy armored units.

As long as it can be dragged to the U.S. military's heavy forces to cross the ocean and land for support, it is considered a victory.

Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the Stryker Fighting Brigade is not weak, but with the end of the Cold War, the internal adjustments of the US military, especially after the continuous launch of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Stryker Fighting Brigade has never been able to resist heavy forces. The regular army of the armored forces has been reduced to a security brigade that can only deal with illegal armed forces.

As a result, the so-called Stryker Combat Brigade gradually disappeared in recent years.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Anil finally saw in the video the real combat power of the Stryker Fighting Brigade that the US military envisioned back then, but the Stryker Fighting Brigade was not American. It's made in China!
