Chapter 1696

Let alone Zheng Chaolin, the other officers and soldiers on the two 100mm wheeled assault guns under his command were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them under the faint light.

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

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

More importantly, these two types of equipment are useless only to transport guns. They must be equipped with complete command and support equipment to give full play to their combat effectiveness.

Obviously, the air force's transport - 18nb transport aircraft also sent the command and support equipment of the two artillery.

Zheng Chaolin counted carefully. Artillery radar vehicle, artillery command vehicle, artillery reconnaissance vehicle, ammunition supply vehicle and engineering repair vehicle are just the company level establishment of the two kinds of artillery.

In other words, in addition to a battalion's 122mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer, a battalion's 100mm wheeled assault gun, a company's 122mm wheeled rocket, and a company's 120mm wheeled self shooting howitzer, they were also strengthened by a company's 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer and a company's 300mm heavy rocket.

You know, the artillery establishment of the blue army brigade is fully equipped. An artillery battalion has 18 guns and an artillery company has 6.

Of course, heavy artillery such as 300mm rockets is not in the traditional establishment, but adopts the system of 12 in a battalion and 4 in a company.

Therefore, in this way, the number of artillery above 100mm caliber of the blue army brigade reached 58.

It can cover any target within 2km to 120km.

In terms of quantity and quality, it is several times stronger than the army troops deployed in New Delhi at the southern foot of the Himalayas.

You should know that the largest caliber artillery equipped by the New Delhi army in this area is the Soviet 120mm mortar, and the barrel artillery is only the British 105mm howitzer.

As for the fh-77b 155mm heavy gun spoken by politicians in New Delhi, we can't even see a shadow.

It's not that the front-line troops don't want to be equipped. The main reason is that the number of this artillery is too small and expensive. The headquarters in New Delhi firmly hold it in their own hands and don't delegate it easily; Secondly, and most importantly, because the weight of this gun is too heavy and the infrastructure leading to the plateau is too poor, the bad road can't bear such heavy equipment at all.

Because of this, there is no practical effect except to say hi.

Of course, if the caliber ratio is not enough, it can also form a deterrent to the surrounding areas.

But the problem is that the number of army equipped artillery in the plateau area of New Delhi is also very small.

The whole plateau heavy army group has nearly 50000 people, and there are only two professional artillery regiments!

It seems that regiment level units are like that. In fact, the actual establishment of the artillery regiment of the New Delhi army is the artillery battalion of other countries, and it is still a reduced artillery battalion, because each regiment is equipped with only 12 guns.

The two regiments add up to 24, less than half of the blue army brigade.

It's just that the artillery establishment is small, but the staffing of the Artillery Force in New Delhi is full of ten. Each regiment has a size of at least four or five hundred people. In this regard, the artillery regiment in New Delhi is really not much different from that in other countries.

As for range

The farthest distance is 23 kilometers. This is because the air in the plateau area is thin. Shells can have the opportunity to hit farther, otherwise they have only an attack range of 18 kilometers.

No matter how far away, the garrison on the New Delhi plateau can only help, because in addition to ordinary standard ammunition, they don't have any special ammunition such as bottom row shells, rocket extended range shells and laser guided shells.

Even the most basic common ammunition, the ammunition base of the Artillery Force stationed in the New Delhi plateau, did not meet the requirements of the training program.

No way, who makes the basic ammunition in New Delhi 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 poor road conditions, it is a miracle that the troops in the plateau area can have ammunition reserves. What else do you want?

Otherwise, how can the artillery units be absent from several exercises?

Is it the artillery who doesn't want to shoot two guns?

Of course not. It's the artillery. New Delhi really can't afford it. The so-called "ten thousand liang of gold" is not a joke here in New Delhi!

Because of this, in the face of the super artillery firepower configuration of the blue army brigade, Zheng Chaolin was not only shocked. Major general Anil, located in the consulate of Jinguan City, was even more frightened and sweating through the open video live picture.

In addition to strengthening the 05 type 155mm self-propelled howitzer and 03 type 300mm heavy rocket for a company of the blue army brigade, Anil also found a company in the picture. A whole 12 96a main battle tanks and four launching vehicles, a radar vehicle and a communication command vehicle formed the red flag-16b field air defense missile company.

However, the most frightening thing for Anil is not these, but the Chengjian production brigade that was raided by combat readiness.

The main battle equipment of the whole force is a series of light mechanized equipment derived from 8 * 8 wheeled armored vehicles.

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

Seeing this scene, major general Anil, who was born in the army, came up with a concept of army establishment put forward by the U.S. military a few years ago, the so-called "Shrek combat brigade".

That is, based on the 8 * 8 Stryker wheeled armored vehicle, a series of equipment including artillery, assault, anti armor, infantry vehicles, rescue and emergency repair is formed, so that the new army combat concept of 48 hour global arrival can be realized by relying on the powerful transportation aviation force of the United States.

Its original idea was to deal with the heavy tank cluster of the Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Although the srik wheeled armored vehicle has less defense and thin blood, and it can't dry the Soviet Union's heavy tank forces on paper, the srik wheeled armored vehicle relies on the wheeled structure, but its mobility is much higher than that of the Soviet Union's tanks. Therefore, it can carry out mobile defense operations against the plunging Soviet heavy armored forces based on the towns and developed road network in Western Europe.

As long as we can drag the heavy troops of the US Army across the sea to land and support, it will be a victory.

Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the "Shrek combat brigade" is not weak. However, with the end of the cold war and the internal adjustment of the U.S. military, especially after the continuous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the "Shrek combat brigade" has changed from a regular army that can resist heavy armored forces to a security brigade that can only deal with illegal armed forces.

So the so-called "Shrek combat brigade" gradually disappeared over the years.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Anil finally saw the real combat effectiveness of the "Shrek combat brigade" envisaged by the U.S. military in the video, but the "Shrek combat brigade" is not American, but domestic!
