Chapter 602 Equipment
Dwight Breed, 32, former company commander of the 1st Marine Division of the U.S. Army, has served as a platoon commander for a long time during his military career, and has extremely rich experience in company and platoon command. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Moreover, because he has been deployed in several bases in the Middle East for more than four years, he is particularly familiar with the desert and the defensive operations next door, and he also has practical experience in the protection of key personnel, and has received systematic training.
The disadvantages are also obvious: there is no participation in real combat.
There is no way to do this, there are not many American GIs who can get real combat opportunities after the Vietnam War, especially for ordinary field troops.
Zhang Zhenjin, 29 years old, former armored infantry of the 21st Group Army of the Lanzhou-Zhou Military Region, a veteran volunteer with 10 years of military experience, has served as a squad leader for 8 years, and served as an acting platoon commander twice for a total of 4 years during his tenure as squad leader.
He is familiar with Gobi and desert operations, and can also drive a variety of armored vehicles, and his strength is to command squad-level operations.
Unlike Bled, Zhang Zhenjin has participated in actual combat for a whole year.
But it's not the desert next door where he started as a soldier, but the tropical jungle that is very different!
In 86, the Battle of Liangshan was in the Lanzhou-Zhou Military Region, and he and his comrades squatted for almost a year to fight border special operations with Vietnamese monkeys, so he can still be regarded as a good jungle warfare.
As for the five squads below, there were originally three squads of US military personnel, two squads of people from Huaxia, and just 55 people from the main and deputy platoon commanders.
Four of them were ordinary infantry squads and one firepower squad, which used to cooperate with training and run in two different combat methods to study the most suitable combat methods for military contractors with mixed personnel.
These 55 people were also the first group of people to enter the "joint forces," and they were already completely familiar with the two different combat methods of the East and the West, and they were even more proficient in using the typical common weapons of the East and the West.
At this time, Zhang Nan saw a "Huaxia" combat squad sitting in the living room, with a total of 11 people, consisting of four riflemen, a sniper, a principal and deputy machine gunner, two gun grenadiers, and a principal and deputy squad leader.
They all wore this earthy yellow combat uniform, but it was a little different from the desert terrain combat deputy of the US army, and it seemed to be more "civilian", which was mistaken for a jacket by Adjani.
In fact, this is custom-made by "United Forces", and the company logo is still on the left arm of the jacket.
U.S. military equipment, which was procured from the lowest bidder, and the price of the uniforms of the guys of the "combined forces" was twice as high as the price of the field uniforms of the American army: the boss was rich, but he was capricious.
However, the weapons prepared for everyone in this mission are not particularly high-end, because the desert does not welcome the "high-precision equipment" of the US infantry, but the Soviet-style goods are better.
The riflemen used AKM assault rifles, M67 fragmentation grenades, Glock 17 and M72 rockets without fighting;
The sniper uses the M21 semi-automatic sniper rifle, because it is going to an open desert area, the machine gunner carries an M60 machine gun, the secondary shooter uses an AKM, and only carries 3 spare magazines, and the rest of the weight is given to the M60.
All AKMs are folding, because guys don't need to run on two legs yet, and when riding in a vehicle, obviously a folding-tow assault rifle is more advantageous.
As for the gun grenadier, the grenadier is actually equipped with a GP25 gun-mounted grenade launcher on the AKM, which enhances the infantry curved firepower.
This grenade launcher is a very awesome piece of equipment, an "infantry squad cannon" obtained by the "United Forces" from a special channel, and the location is from Afghanistan.
Without the M16A1, the US military's own grenade launchers will not be used, in order to protect the boss, the guys at the bottom of the box are used: there are only about 10 in the whole company, and there are only more than 300 rounds of ammunition, and this time it is basically all brought.
The main and deputy squad leaders can also be regarded as riflemen, but they have more communication equipment.
The full force is equipped with Glock 17s, this time with East-West weapons, because Dwight-Bled thinks that the man who went to Sudan with the M16A1 is a fool!
It's full of sand, and a sandstorm can be made when the wind blows, and it is estimated that the M16 will get stuck into scrap metal if you are not careful, and it is still a reliable Soviet product.
Contractors don't have so many restrictions from the U.S. military, and they use whatever equipment is suitable.
And it is also a tradition for American GIs to love AK, who makes the M16 series old problems!
Vietnam has suffered a lot in the jungle, and that thing in this desert is not very reliable!
A few days ago, the company also got the latest batch of M16A2 test models, and the manufacturer blew it out, but as soon as it was obtained, a group of old birds just started to get familiar with the new gun and returned it: only single-shot and three-shot burst guns can be called assault rifles?
Brad was a little sad for the guys who were still in the army, and how frustrating it would be to use that kind of emasculated weapon against an opponent with enough people and enough automatic firepower without adequate fire support.
As for the guys from Huaxia, after seeing the M16A2, they all feel that the American designers are missing their brains?
In 79, the infantry squad in China suffered from the lack of basic firepower of the infantry squad because of the semi-automatic 56 and a half, and then a large number of 56-2 and 81 bars were equipped.
The upper echelons of the United States are doing the opposite, this is the end of the 80s, to equip the troops with semi-automatic weapons?
As for bringing the M60 and M21 because the ammunition is universal, in the desert Gobi region, even the guys from Huaxia now like these M21 and M24 customized by the company, and the accuracy seems to be a little better than Maozi's SVD and Huaxia's imitation of Type 79.
And compared to the SVD, the M21 has a slightly higher fire density, because it uses a 20-round magazine feed.
The company still has money, and the snipers are provided with high-precision bullets that are more than ten times more expensive.
It doesn't matter if it's gone, the M60 uses brand-name ammunition produced by big manufacturers, and the basic accuracy is fine.
As for the Type 79, it is simply to use ordinary machine gun shells as sniper shells.
However, the reason why the Soviet-style series of weapons that do not use high-powered rifle cartridges this time is not only because of preference, but also because of "appearance" - what kind of Soviet-style weapons do you use in North Africa as an American security company?
However, all the contractors were carrying their own large backpacks and no weapons on their bodies.
This is France, in order not to cause itself big - trouble, all weapons and equipment are handed over to those two C141s, and the guys will get their own equipment at the Khartoum airport.
Thomas will not be on 767, and he and a handful of company support staff will arrive before Zhang Nan when he and a handful of company support staff and C141 are on their way to Khartoum.
A few hours later, the plane landed in Khartoum, and Zhang Nan and Adjani saw a dilapidated airport.
