As soon as the battalion staff officer's words came out, Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian jumped up from the big stone like a cat with its tail stepped on, and the tone of their voices rose an octave higher.
There was no way, it was the words of the battalion staff that shocked the two of them and made them lose their composure. You must know that this order from the superior was not just about building aircraft, but also emphasized that all personnel should be fully equipped.
??That is to say, in addition to personnel, all equipment, ammunition, equipment and even the woks and tents of the cooking team everything in Xiaoman's camp must be loaded into the plane and transported directly.
If it¡¯s just personnel, that¡¯s it. Xiaoman¡¯s camp only has 700 people at full capacity. It can be managed by arranging seven or eight planes to squeeze in. The key is not to have a lot of equipment.
If this were an ordinary motorized camp, Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian wouldn't be like this. After all, an ordinary motorized camp is really a motorized camp. It really relies on trains for long distances, cars for mid-distances, and foot soles for short distances. The firepower is 82mm mortars and 82mm recoilless artillery, a proper light infantry configuration.
However, although the name of the battalion commanded by Xiaoman is Motorized Battalion, if we look into it in detail, it does not break away from wheeled mobility, a typical symbol of motorization.
But in the eyes of senior military insiders like Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian, the battalion commanded by Xiaoman has long since broken away from the stereotype of a motorized battalion and entered the category of a mechanized battalion.
The reason is very simple. The battalion commanded by Xiaoman has already surpassed ordinary motorized battalions in terms of defense, firepower and mobility.
Take the heavy firepower companies that are common in motorized battalions as an example. The average motorized battalion is only equipped with a 100mm mortar, and the number cannot be too many, because the infantry who fight on the soles of their feet really cannot carry it. move.
There are 6 Yingguang 120mm mortars under the command of Xiaoman. Not only that, there are also 6 100mm assault guns that can be used to attack armored targets and provide close support.
With the addition of 4 quadruple anti-tank missile launchers, this firepower configuration alone is no more than that of a heavily-equipped mechanized battalion.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the powerful firepower of the battalion commanded by Xiaoman. It has three companies, each equipped with 14 Type 92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, plus 3 PTL-97 100mm wheeled assault guns.
In addition to the combat units directly under the battalion headquarters and a number of field recovery vehicles, logistics support vehicles, medical ambulances and other support vehicles modified from the Type 92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle platform, the number of battalion combat vehicles under Xiaoman's command reaches 92.
If you include auxiliary vehicles such as 212 jeeps, Mitsubishi off-road vehicles, and 5-ton military transport vehicles, the total number of vehicles in the battalion commanded by Xiaoman is as high as 128.
The total weight of these vehicles alone is as high as more than 1,700 tons.
¡°This does not include guns, ammunition, logistics support and other equipment. If all are added, the total transportation tonnage of the battalion commanded by Xiaoman, including personnel, will reach an astonishing 2,500 tons.
With such a large load capacity, it would take five full columns to transport the 15-knot standard heavy-duty military train. As a result, the superiors actually ordered the battalion commanded by Xiaoman to take a plane to the northwest. Not only that, but also all the personnel were required to be fully equipped. That's more than 2,500 tons of personnel and equipment. How big of an aircraft can it fit? How many large planes like this would it take to fit them all in?
Therefore, Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian were not envious or happy because Xiao Man was going to fly. Instead, they each frowned and were very worried. After all, they are both professional soldiers and the issues they are thinking about are very realistic, let alone whether it is such a big deal. Even if there are aircrafts, I have never heard that the domestic transport aviation force has such a large number of aircraft.
Because of this, Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian's first instinct was that the battalion staff had misunderstood the orders from their superiors.
To be honest, Xiaoman had the same idea as Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian. After all, he knew his own battalion, and the personnel and equipment were there. Even if it was transported by air, the aviation unit might not be able to fill it all if it was empty.
Therefore, Xiaoman feels that not all personnel should be fully equipped, but some personnel and equipment should be transported by air.
Therefore, without any nonsense, he asked the battalion staff directly: "The superiors really ordered all personnel to be fully equipped?"
Who can be the battalion staff officer but not a smart person? Upon hearing what his battalion commander said, the battalion staff officer quickly replied: "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, battalion commander, you can contact your superiors and reconfirm."
When Xiao Man heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped off the stone and ran towards the battalion command post. Yuan Houhou and Lao Qian looked at each other and ignored the beer and food. They jumped off the stone and followed. Go up.
When Xiaoman entered the command post, he immediately picked up the phone and called his superiors. As a result, the superiors' reply was the same as what the battalion staff said. It was true that all personnel were fully loaded and airlifted to the northwest. Naturally, XiaomanI informed my superior of my doubts, and the superior's reply was very straightforward: "You ask me, who am I going to ask? I also want to know what the hell the Air Force has done. It is so big, and it is not afraid of taking too big steps." Did you hit the egg?"
During this period, similar complaints have become a daily routine for Xiaoman's superiors. There is no way, just looking at the configuration of the battalion commanded by Xiaoman, we know that this unit is the trump card, sharp knife and thorn in the hands of the superiors.
Now that the heart and soul has been taken away, it¡¯s strange that Xiaoman¡¯s superior feels better.
If you don't criticize the sky and the ground, you have a strong psychological quality, and complaining is nothing. However, complaining is complaining, and Xiaoman's superior also knew the importance, so he softened his tone and continued: "However, no matter what the Air Force does, we just need to cooperate fully. It is estimated that this time the Air Force is deliberately showing off its assets. After all, this large-scale exercise along the southeast coast is no different from the major incident three years ago. The deterrent effect on certain forces is not obvious, so some strong news is needed. "
" Xiaoman's superior is indeed right. The nature and purpose of this large-scale exercise on the southeast coast are the same as the major events a few years ago, which is to deter certain restless forces.
It's just that although the scale of this exercise is large, the overall level is not much higher than that of a major event. Because of this, many overseas media gave unanimous evaluations when interpreting this exercise, that is, the domestic military modernization task Heavy but long way to go.
This is quite euphemistic, and some sharp ones directly compared the domestic military level with Iraq and Iran during the Iran-Iraq War.
Under such circumstances, the deterrence was naturally greatly reduced, but such an anticlimactic end was obviously unable to achieve the strategic goals set by the headquarters, so this time Xiaoman commanded the entire battalion to be airlifted to the northwest.
It is undeniable that military modernization has a long way to go, but to say that the level is comparable to that of Iraq and Iran during the Iran-Iraq War is a bit too much. In that case, let me show my family background and let you see, the five major gangsters~~~ Bahthe reputation of one of the five permanent members is not in vain!
Of course, neither Xiaoman¡¯s superiors nor Xiaoman know this will coming from the headquarters. Naturally, they cannot confirm how the air force operates. They can only imagine each other.
But just as the two were talking on the phone, there was a sudden roar of an engine in the sky. Xiaoman immediately stretched his head and looked out the window, and was immediately stunned by the sight that appeared in the sky!
