Army Group C, Division T.

In the division commander's office, Zhang Mingyang took the "Application for Equipment for the Tank Company of the Synthetic Battalion" handed over by the division commander, and immediately frowned.

The application form is clearly written in black and white:

Tank company, consisting of a company headquarters and 3 tank platoons.

A total of 50 personnel are equipped with 14 main battle tanks, 1 medium jeep, and 1 Type 74 cooking vehicle.

Company: 14 people.

There are 6 company commanders, deputy company commanders, instructors, communicators and tank drivers, and 2 main battle tanks are equipped.

There are 3 jeep drivers and hygienists in total, and 1 medium-sized jeep is equipped.

The secretary and 4 cooking teams have a total of 5 people, and 1 type 74 cooking vehicle is equipped.

Tank platoon, consisting of 3 tank squads.

The establishment is 12 people, equipped with 4 main battle tanks.

The platoon commander, driver and communicator form a platoon command group, equipped with 1 main battle tank.

Each tank squad has 3 people and is equipped with 1 main battle tank.

After reading the application from the beginning to the end, Zhang Mingyang finally couldn't hold it back.

He looked up at Su Qiyue, who was standing solemnly, and asked angrily, "July, this request of your synthetic camp is too exaggerated, right?" One mouth, the tank company is 14 main battle tanks? ”

"Do you know how many main battle tanks we have in total in the armored regiment?"

Listening to his deputy's inquiry to Su Qiyue, division commander Zhao Guodong was very calm.

When Su Qiyue submitted this application just now, Zhao Guodong had already read it.

Although the configuration of this tank company of the composite battalion is somewhat excessive, it is still within the tolerance range of himself and the division.

The main thing is to look at Su Qiyue, a kid, what explanation can be made for such an excessive requirement.

Faced with Deputy Division Commander Zhang's inquiry, Su Qiyue did not have any timidity.

He cleared his throat and said in a higher voice: "Deputy Division Commander Zhang, the configuration of the tank company of the synthetic battalion is a conclusion that I came to after carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages of our army's tank company with the old American tank company. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyang's brows furrowed even tighter.

Although he also recognized Su Qiyue's ability, he also knew that this young man's future was limitless.

But he was a little dissatisfied with this kid's always like to compare Lao Mei's troops.

In the view of Deputy Division Commander Zhang, although the United States is the world's largest military power, it is more because of its developed economy and high level of science and technology.

When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the troops, it may not be our opponent.

Especially in terms of the army, we still have a great advantage over the United States.

Therefore, Zhang Mingyang was a little dissatisfied with Su Qiyue's frequent mention of Lao Mei.

Glancing at Su Qiyue, Deputy Division Commander Zhang said angrily: "Since you have a basis, let's talk about your reasons in detail." ”

Su Qiyue answered, and quickly told his thoughts.

"At present, the composite battalion of the Lao American armored brigade has two tank companies under its jurisdiction, each of which has 14 tanks. This includes the company commander's vehicle and the company's executive officer's vehicle. ”

"The three tank platoons under each company are four tanks per platoon, each of which becomes two squads. One squad is led directly by the platoon commander, and the other squad is led by the sergeant major. ”

"The 432 system of battalion-level armored troops in the United States is very reliable for grassroots armored troops. The allocation is also very reasonable, which is very convenient for the structural adjustment of the proportion of arms in the combat of the troops......"

After a slight pause, Su Qiyue continued to speak.

"In comparison, the configuration of our army's normal tank company is a little weaker."

"Weak?" Zhang Mingyang muttered.

"Yes!"

Su Qiyue then explained: "Our tank company is generally equipped with 10 tanks, and there are three platoons under its jurisdiction, and each platoon is normally 3 tanks. ”

"This is not only 4 fewer vehicles than Lao Mei in terms of quantity, but also when it is really enlarged on the battlefield, the disadvantage will be more obvious......"

"Hmm, what is the obvious method, you can tell me specifically!"

Hearing this, Division Commander Zhao Guodong couldn't help but interject.

"Suppose on the battlefield, a tank company of our army and a tank company of Lao Mei encounter. If the extent of the losses is reasonable, if the company commander and three platoon commanders are lost, then our tank company can basically be regarded as annihilated or incapacitated. ”

"And the old American tank company, even if it loses the company commander's car, there is still an executive officer tank. Moreover, each platoon of them is formed in two squads, and after the loss of the platoon commander, there is also a sergeant chief who is the substitute commander......"

"In this case, the old American tank company will still maintain a strong combat capability."

Taking a deep breath, Su Qiyue said word by word: "Our digital synthetic battalion currently has only one main battle tank company, and its importance is even more prominent. ”

"It is no exaggeration to say that the division has added 4 tanks to the tank company of our digital synthesis battalion, which is enough to double the ability of our tank company to resist attack."

"In this way, it is also predictable for the overall combat effectiveness of our battalion to improve......"

Listening to Su Qiyue's orderly analysis, more than half of the unhappiness in Zhang Mingyang's heart has gone.

Indeed, Su Qiyue's analysis still has his truth.

After all, the digital composite battalion is a pilot unit, a main battle tank company, and it must be armed to the teeth as much as possible.

If you only give them 10 tanks, it's really a little less.

Seeing that Su Qiyue was no longer silent, Zhao Guodong led to the topic.

"July, since you talked about the firepower configuration of the first-level units of the old American battalion, let's just talk a little more. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of our armored forces compared with Lao Mei! ”

Listening to the division commander's question, Su Qiyue pondered for a moment before he started speaking.

"Division commander, in fact, Lao Mei's synthetic troops, because there is no artillery, are still very different from our armored battalions......"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if there is a difference, just talk about what can be compared between the two!"

Zhao Guodong waved his hand.

Seeing that the division commander spoke, Su Qiyue could only nod his head.

"Since there is no artillery unit, the ratio of infantry and tank arms of the armored composite battalion of the old United States is 1:1."

"And our digital composite battalion, because it has a self-propelled mortar company, and it is also equipped with a self-propelled howitzer company, so the ratio of infantry artillery is 3:2:2."

"In terms of firepower, of course, we are stronger. This is mainly because there is a big difference between us and Lao Mei in the construction of armored composite forces......"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyang nodded and responded: "This is also normal!" ”

"After all, the tactical thinking of the United States is multi-service joint operations, and no one can match its powerful air-ground integrated strike capability. Therefore, it is also appropriate that their grassroots armored composite units are not equipped with accompanying fire support......"

Su Qiyue snorted and said, "What Deputy Division Commander Zhang said is true." The United States has obvious air superiority and good combat effectiveness, and has undertaken most of the long-range bombing tasks. ”

"Therefore, their ground forces are not like ours, and they need to expand in depth to annihilate the enemy......"

"In fact, our digital synthesis camp is a preliminary exploration stage after all, and whether many configurations are optimal or not needs to be tested step by step."

"But in terms of the specific firepower configuration of the tank company, I still insist on my own idea, and I need to configure 14 tanks!"

After listening to Su Qiyue's last sentence, Zhang Mingyang couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"You kid, you really insist that Qingshan won't relax!"

Listening to Deputy Division Commander Zhang's "criticism", Su Qiyue could only pinch his nose and suffer.

After all, this piece of weaponry is in charge of this one.

Seeing Zhang Mingyang say this, division commander Zhao Guodong knew that he agreed.

Speaking of which, this digital synthesis battalion is of great concern to the entire B Military Region.

It's just the configuration of 4 more tanks, and the division is still so stingy.

At that moment, Zhao Guodong looked at Zhang Mingyang with a smile and said, "Deputy Master Zhang, it seems that the two of us are still soft-eared, so we were persuaded by July!" ”

Zhang Mingyang nodded, revealing a helpless expression.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Deputy Division Commander Zhang said to Su Qiyue depressedly: "It doesn't matter if you are cheap, the key is the armored regiment, I am afraid that after knowing this, I will come to the door again......"

Cao Zhihui, the commander of the armored regiment, was notoriously difficult for the T Division.

When Su Qiqi hadn't gone to the special operations brigade before, he had heard about it.

At this time, after listening to Deputy Division Commander Zhang's emotion, he could only think that he didn't hear it.

Seeing that the matter was almost reported, Su Qiyue wondered if it was time for him to leave.

While he was thinking about it, Senior Commander Zhao opened his voice.

"That's right, July. What do you think about the exercises of the division and the special operations brigade of the group army next month. ”

After the year, the special operations brigade will conduct a confrontation exercise with the T division, and Su was notified of this before July.

After the special operations brigade of the group army was upgraded to the A brigade, preparations were in full swing for its establishment.

Its establishment, the group army side is also helpless.

After all, with the increasing frequency of special operations personnel on the battlefield these days.

If a unit of the size of a group army does not have a special operations force, it will suffer a great loss on the battlefield.

Compared with the A Brigade of that year, this special operations brigade was established for a little shorter.

The actual combat experience may not be so rich.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of any special operations force cannot be underestimated.

This time, the T Division went into battle with troops directly under the two divisions - the armored reconnaissance battalion and the digital synthesis battalion.

Armored reconnaissance battalion, naturally, there is no need to say much.

After Gao Cheng became the battalion commander, the armored reconnaissance battalion really became the ace reconnaissance unit of the T Division.

Because of the prominence of the combat effectiveness of the divisional reconnaissance battalion, the reconnaissance companies of the remaining regiments were withdrawn quite a lot.

Only the electronic reconnaissance company of the 702 regiment was an exception.

Compared with the armored reconnaissance battalion, whose combat effectiveness is on the surface, the digital composite battalion, which has just been established for less than a month, has also been included in the exercise unit, which is somewhat unexpected.

However, Su Qiyue was not too surprised by this.

In his view, this kind of confrontation exercise can undoubtedly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops more than peacetime training.

Finding out, discovering, and solving problems on the battlefield of the exercise will better promote the development of our own composite battalions.
