Chapter 1005: How Many Planes
The four division commanders had never seen any other plane at all, except for the little devil's plane flying in the sky, and the question of whether they would fall to their death by jumping from the plane was not a stupid question for them! Jumping out of a plane will of course lead to a fall to your death, and in their minds they even think that jumping off a plane is a one-way trip and will never come back!
So they are all ready to sacrifice, that is to say, they think that the Airborne Forces are the troops who are going to die!
Liao Fan smiled, this is not to blame them, the backwardness of science and technology limits the thinking of human beings, and the backwardness of the country has led to the ignorance of the people! It's like telling Qin Shi Huang that they can fly into the sky now, and Qin Shi Huang will definitely not believe it! They had never seen airborne operations, so they had an instinctive fear of airborne operations.
This reminded Liao Fan that when the more than 3,000 soldiers selected from the special combat team carried out the first airborne operation, they should have made up their minds to die before boarding the plane! It seems that the fighters under him are really very good fighters, and when they thought they were going to die, they still carried out parachuting without hesitation!
"It seems that I'm going to give the four of you a lesson first, and teach you what airborne warfare is!" If you want them to lead the airborne troops, you must change their operational thinking, "Lao Huai, you take them to rest first, and from eight to ten o'clock tonight, the four of you will come to the command headquarters!" ”
In any case, some officers dared to risk their lives to try the move of setting a precedent for their own troops, and this was a very big progress for the troops.
However, what made Liao Fan even more relieved was that the more than 3,000 soldiers selected by the special operations division had already carried out an airborne operation, at least the soldiers no longer had any fear in their hearts!
"Let Sun Boyong report to my headquarters immediately!"
The Airborne Forces will definitely not be more than 3,000 soldiers to be formed, and now there are four division commanders in their hands! Judging from the scale of airborne operations, taking divisions as units is a relatively reasonable arrangement for airborne operations, and it is suitable for large-scale combat operations! The formation of four airborne divisions is a must for them at the moment.
Therefore, they want to expand their forces, but the airborne troops are different from ordinary troops, and the dizziness on the plane will inevitably cause some soldiers to be unable to parachute, if a soldier is stunned and blocks the cabin door, the soldiers behind will inevitably be unable to parachute!
"Report Brother Fan, are you looking for me?" Sun Boyong said.
Liao Fan told Sun Boyong about his plan, and the various materials of the four airborne divisions were also very different from the materials of ordinary troops, so let Sun Boyong prepare early!
Sun Boyong is already well versed in logistics matters, and has always been the logistics manager of all the troops in Taihang Mountain, he not only has to supply troops, but also has to deal with ordinary people, which has made him very good at all kinds of things! And Sun Boyong also has a group of cadres, although these people have not been on the battlefield, but they have made a lot of contributions to the troops!
"I know these things can't help you, but you still have to prepare a special thing for us, this kind of thing must be made in a special place, there can be no problems, if there is a problem, we can also directly hold us accountable!"
Liao Fan is talking about the parachute of the Airborne Troops, the parachute is the life of the Airborne Troops, once the parachute goes wrong, there is no need to talk about the rest of the matter! Moreover, the quality of the parachute is very important, and there must be special personnel to check it, and there can be no negligence in matters related to the safety of soldiers.
"Parachute? We've never touched this stuff before, but it's not an easy thing to do! ”
"It's easy to do, I don't have to look for you! Here are the blueprints of the parachute! There is no shortage of factories in our defense area now, we can always find a few suitable factories, and then let them make some samples first, don't save money, every parachute is related to a life! Liao Fan handed over the parachute drawings he had prepared in the past few days to Sun Boyong.
"It's not a good thing to look for me, and it costs money!" Sun Boyong looked at the parachute on the drawing, don't look at such a simple thing, the price of a parachute is not high, but there are many of them, what is made of thousands of them, the price must not be low, and sometimes this kind of thing is disposable, landing behind enemy lines, and you can't carry an umbrella bag to fight all day long.
"Hehe, old grandson, we have been collecting taxes since last year, although the money is not much, but it is enough to meet our expenses, right? As for those accounts owed abroad, there is no need to pay them back in a hurry, and there is no problem in paying off domestic expenses first, and those bills are no problem if they are delayed for the last few decades! ”
Although they owe a lot of money abroad, Liao Fan doesn't plan to pay back the money. When the time comes, all the money will be exchanged for cannonballs and returned to them! As for the issue of credibility, it depends on how the relationship between the two countries is, if the relationship is better, Liao Fan doesn't mind returning the money to them.
Sun Boyong also knows that foreign affairs have always relied on Liao Fan to support, he really shouldn't complain to Liao Fan, and Liao Fan is in charge of a lot more things than him, and he is also the most laborious one in Taihang Mountain!
"Leave this matter to me, I guarantee that there will be no quality problems, who dares to cut corners for me in this regard, Lao Tzu will not kill him!" Sun Boyong is also rare to be tough.
At the current industrial level, although it is not possible to make too delicate parachutes, ordinary umbrellas such as round umbrellas can still be mass-produced!
In any case, the basic equipment of the Airborne Forces has been settled, and all that remains is the question of recruiting and training soldiers! The only remaining problem is to explain clearly to the four division commanders what airborne operations are, as a commander is the core of a unit, he must be proficient in all the common sense of their troops, and only the commander can give them the answers to the problems that the soldiers encounter.
After a few days of classes, the four division commanders are finally no longer the kind of stupid question of whether they will fall to their deaths by parachuting from an airplane! They understand that the Airborne Forces are aimed at fighting deep behind enemy lines, and that they may play no less of a role in a large-scale battle than a group army.
"More than 3,000 soldiers, the four of you divide it equally, as for the replenishment of other troops, one is the logistics recruitment office, and the other depends on yourself, and I will also give you the configuration of the airborne troops according to the international allocation, and the strength of each division is temporarily stable at about 12,000 people! Remember, you can't do more than that, too many troops will affect the transport capacity of the aircraft! ”
When the troops in Taihang Mountain were still relatively weak, every officer liked to recruit and practice more, after all, when the troops were strong, they would be able to fight against the little devils! But now it is different, especially in the airborne troops, the number of personnel has to match the aircraft, the airplane's delivery capacity is limited, and the excess soldiers will cause a lot of pressure on the transport aircraft.
The four division commanders once again had their own troops, but after seeing that there were only a few people under their hands, they were a little helpless, originally they had nearly 20,000 troops under their hands in the army, but now they suddenly became less than 1,000 people, and there was inevitably a gap in their hearts!
"What should we do as the first step?"
They suddenly felt a little helpless, the troops were there, but they didn't have planes, and even if they did, they couldn't immediately organize parachute training, and planes weren't trucks, so they had to take off!
"If we don't train like ordinary troops first, anyway, after coming down from the sky, it's still the same as ground combat, and the plane is just our means of transport, not our means of warfare!"
After a few people discussed, they still temporarily trained in the same way as ordinary army training, and as for parachute training, they could only temporarily find a temporary venue for simulation!
"Isn't a two-metre platform a bit too high? I'm afraid some fighters will fall and get hurt! ”
"How tall is that? A meter? ”
On the issue of training, the four division commanders discussed everything, without any experience or any information to draw on.
Similarly, Liao Fan is also actively trying to find a way for them, he is negotiating with the south, and strive to hire a few airborne army officers from the magnesium country, at least they can still be used, and when their airborne force system is completely mature, it will also be of great benefit to them.
"Chairman Jiang, this matter is still going to trouble you!" Liao Fan called Chairman Chiang's study and asked him to help hire more than a dozen instructors of the US Airborne Forces.
"Fanzi, what are you tossing again? Want an instructor from the Airborne Forces? You don't have any planes to do what airborne troops? ”
Chairman Jiang suspected that when Liao Fan was fighting some time ago, Liao Fan tasted the sweetness of the airborne troops, so he formed the airborne troops, but the planes they used in the last battle were all borrowed from the Magnesium countrymen, and there were no planes, let alone airborne.
"Chairman, we don't have planes now, it doesn't mean we won't have them in the future! And after the subjugation of the Northeast, it will all rely on the Airborne Forces! Liao Fan said.
"From the truth, how many planes do you have now?" Chairman Jiang thought of the plane crash last time, Taihang Mountain was able to build an airplane!
"Hehe, chairman, you can come to me to have a look if you have time, I guarantee that you will have enough surprises, but there are still large transport planes, but you can see it at the end of this year!"
Liao Fan did not hide the need for Chairman Jiang, they are all compatriots, and the country is strong is also what they want to see, and Liao Fan is telling the truth, their fighters can take off and fight, but they have not formed an effective scale and combat effectiveness, and have been in a state of secret training!
"I'm not mistaken, you kid, okay! We finally have our own eagles! I ask you one thing, are our planes advanced? How does it compare to the little devils? "The troops with the prefix also had their own air force, and Chairman Chiang also knew very well that the backwardness of the planes was really uncomfortable, and it was not only the planes that were lost but also those excellent pilots.
