Volume 10 Dragon Soaring Nine Days Chapter 18 Army Commanders' Conference

As small as Ling Yunxiao and others, Pei Chengyi showed the changes in this army commander. 【Reading.com】

The most proud is Major General Ling Yunxiao, the commander of the Sword Army. Although Ling Yunxiao made small mistakes during the Peninsula War and the Japanese War. missed the opportunity to be promoted, and is still a major general in the army, but the performance of the sword army in two large-scale regional wars is remarkable, and it has become the number one ace army in the army. Ling Yunxiao's status is naturally rising, coupled with his special relationship with Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi, he has surpassed many generals who are older than him in the army, and has become the number one general of the Republic Army.

Like Ling Yunxiao, a general who was unknown a few years ago, the Sword Army has also become an army ace from scratch.

As the first fast-response light armored unit of the Republic Army, the Knife Army was reformed after the Peninsula War and transformed into the first all-digital information-based light armored unit of the Republic. He completed the reorganization and training work before the outbreak of the Japanese war, and won the opportunity to participate in the war. Although the performance of the Knife Army was inferior to that of several airborne brigades in the combat operation of attacking Ryukyu Island, the digital informatization construction of the Knife Army was verified in actual combat, and its poor performance had nothing to do with the direction of reform. Because it was not equipped with new armored combat vehicles, the performance of the sword army in the battle was not as good as that of the airborne troops. Because of its real-time tactical communication capabilities, the 77th Army's performance in coordinated operations is far from the airborne troops. This war has proved the importance of digital informatization in multi-arm coordinated operations. It also proves the importance of new equipment. After the Japanese War, the Sword Army first changed its main battle equipment, not only equipped with light armored combat vehicles from the airborne combat vehicle exhibition, but also equipped with new tanks specially developed for armored units. The first key voice became a digital information armored force.

This change doesn't seem obvious, mainly because the new equipment is not as big as it seems.

The original form of the concave bite all-electric infantry fighting vehicle is the mouth-out all-electric airborne combat vehicle of the Airborne Forces, the chassis of the two combat vehicles is exactly the same, but Dankou adopts a new hydraulic suspension system, 4 guide motors with a total power of persuasion kilowatts, and the mouth-level composite battery electromagnetic gun still uses the old-level composite battery, an active defense system with yo-du defense capabilities, and thicker high-strength alloy armor. The combat weight of the whole vehicle has also increased from the old tons to the knife tons. In the case that the light load only carries one-third of the ammunition, does not carry external armor, and the full weight of the old ton, it can be airlifted by small thugs at a time. Compared with the concave, the biggest feature of Wangkou is that it enhances the self-sustaining energy cloud, which has better off-road maneuverability and better armor protection performance. If the spade gives the Airborne Forces a real sense of armor, then the Bikou makes the Quick Reaction Force a real armored force.

Comparatively speaking, the importance of the old all-electric main battle tank of the dish 3 is far less than that of the ugly.

It's not that "the introduction is not advanced, but in the 77th Army" such a strategic reaction force. Middle. The significance of the tank itself is not as obvious as that of an infantry fighting vehicle.

It is the first all-electric main battle tank in the true sense of the republic, which not only uses an electric power system, but also uses an electromagnetic gun, in addition to the coaxial machine gun used for self-defense, even the anti-aircraft machine gun that was previously used as an ornament has become a small-caliber radio blaster. As a "light tank" with a full weight of only 1 ton, the muzzle kinetic energy of the millimeter rail electromagnetic gun equipped with the introduction is 8 times higher than that of the rail electric cannon on the infantry fighting vehicle, and the muzzle of the new alloy armor-piercing projectile is initially the mouth meter per second, and the maximum armor-piercing capacity at the curved meter, the meter and the strong meter are respectively 2 strong millimeters. The frontal armor of these fourth-generation main battle tanks that were put into service four years ago, even if they are faced with the "fifth-generation main battle tanks" such as the United States' Leopard 4 and Germany's "Leopard 4" and the Republic's main battle tanks, will be in service one after another after the regimental year.

Matched with great firepower is a strong protection capability. As a "main battle tank." "The protection capability of the O lead is not only far beyond the mouth of the king, but also beyond any kind of main battle tank. Compared with Wangkou, it weighs 7 tons more than the lead, except for about 7 falling kilograms to strengthen the power system and concave kilograms to strengthen the fire system, the rest of the force kilograms are all used in the protection system. The relative thickness of the frontal armor of the ratio is the same as that of the armor-piercing projectile, and the thickness of the equivalent rolled armor plate is millimeters. A millimeter tank gun with a relative thickness of the side and top armor of the batter and a special alloy armor-piercing shell can only destroy the ratio from the side at most, and the engagement distance must be within four meters.

Of the three main features of a tank, the most easily overlooked, but the most important is mobility. In the case of full draping, the protective ability is improved, and the combat weight above the gills is only a Wu ton. Not only can it be used for tactical maneuvering using all the existing transport infrastructure, but it can also be used in small cars. What's more, thanks to the all-electric powertrain and the 4,000-kilometer-long composite rubber tracks, there is no longer a need for a trailer for short-distance tactical maneuvers. You can pre-bet on the destination yourself. The lower weight also gives the lead to better logistical support. Logistics support equipment such as armored maintenance vehicles, ammunition supply vehicles, and power supply vehicles can be shared with the Au Choukou, and do not need to be equipped separately.

Compared with traditional main battle tanks with large-caliber tank guns, the biggest problem with the exit is the single firepower.

The 2-dash millimeter tank gun can fire anti-tank and anti-helicopter multi-purpose missiles with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers or even 1,000 meters, extending the strike range of the tank beyond the traditional strike range of the tank gun, and can more effectively deal with targets outside the visual range. There are only three types of shells for the millimeter rail-mounted cannon. The first is a high-armor-piercing projectile, the second is a grenade, and the third is a special projectile, which is divided into signal shells, training bombs, etc., and is not equipped with artillery missiles with too small calibers. Artillery missiles are not used, their multi-mission capabilities are obviously limited, and their ability to strike long-range targets is also lacking. Relatively speaking, this problem is not obvious. With the enhancement of the active protection capability of the tank, it is difficult for the traditional low-armor-piercing anti-armor weapons to pose a threat to the tank, and the only thing that can really destroy the tank is high-armor-piercing ammunition. The main task of the tank is to strike at the enemy's tanks and deal with other targets, and it is completely possible to use the armor power of infantry fighting vehicles and other tanks to fight together, so there is no need to equip too many weapons.

The Knife Army is a "strategic reaction force." "Each brigade only has thugs at the end of the year, and the refitting starts from the middle of the four, so in addition to the knife army, other major field armies, such as the leading army, the Cong army, the knife army, the Mi army, the evil army, the witch army, the correction army, the falling army, the leading army, the army, and the young army have all completed the refitting at the beginning of the calendar year, among which the number of equipment of the witch army, the concave army and the falling army is the largest, because these three armies are veritable heavy armored armies.

Although the time for changing clothes is a little later than that of the sword army. But the other main field armies have already formed combat effectiveness.

It can be seen from the faces of Major General Jiang Wancheng of the leading army, Major General Luo Shaopeng, commander of the army, Major General Li Jixian, commander of the 36th Army, Lieutenant General Dong Chengfang, commander of the Gang Army, Lieutenant General Tang Yinglong, commander of the Nu Army, Major General Fu Weimin, commander of the Concave Army, Lieutenant General Qu Maokang, commander of the Hongjun Army, Lieutenant General Cai Suikang, commander of the leading army, Major General Li Jixian, commander of the army, and Major General Sai Zhibiao, commander of the Jianjun Army. Regardless of whether they agree with the status of the Sword Army or not, in their eyes, their own troops are the most powerful troops.

Speaking of arrogance, the most over-the-top is the commander of the Airborne Army.

Major General Shang Xueyun of the Occupy Army, Lieutenant General Huai Zhiwang of the Old Army, and Major General Wang Xueping of the Kou Army always sat together, and their words and deeds were very consistent. To put it bluntly, the position of the Airborne Forces in the army is very awkward. Although as early as the time when Ji Jieguo implemented the first military reform, the Airborne Army was transferred to the army. It has become the main combat force of the army, but the airborne force is the combat unit most closely connected with the air force in the army, and it is also the most maverick combat unit. Not to mention anything else, more than half of the combat strength of the army aviation is organized into three airborne corps. It made the other armies very dissatisfied. In the eyes of other combat units, the more powerful the Airborne Corps, the greater the impact on other combat units. The reason is simple, with the advancement of technology, the way of warfare is changing, and the importance of army aviation in ground combat operations is increasing.

Although each of the main field armies had at least one army aviation battalion, some even had independent army aviation brigades. However, when the Airborne Forces control most of the ground aviation forces, it is difficult for other combat units to allocate more ground aviation forces, and it is also difficult to improve their tactical assault capabilities. As the mass production of a new generation of VTOL tactical transport aircraft is about to begin, the Army Aviation will gradually replace the Air Force's tactical transport aircraft and become the main tactical airlift force of the Army. At that time, if the army aviation still mainly serves the airborne forces, it will be difficult for other armies to be able to develop.

Contradictions are contradictions, and these old army commanders rushed to the General Staff Headquarters for the same purpose.

The banquet was not easy, and Pei Chengyi knew very well what the old commanders wanted.

Although in terms of qualifications, even those lieutenant generals are not necessarily much higher than Pei Chengyi, let alone a large group of major generals. The problem is that Pei Chengyi left the General Staff for several years, not to mention studying at the National Defense University in the first place, and still working in Pakistan in the next few years. Back to the General Staff. Pei Chengyi not only became the head of the operations department again, but was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front line, how could these army commanders be convinced?

It's not that everyone has an opinion about Pei Chengyi. At least Ling Yunxiao and the three commanders of the Airborne Corps have different ideas.

What the young person thinks, Pei Chengyi knows better in his heart.

Ling Yunxiao has always been a loner, and has never obeyed anyone except Xiang Linghui. After so many years, he is still a major general, which shows how bad his personal relationship in the army is. If you have a conflict with Pei Chengyi, I'm afraid that the first unlucky one will be the sword army. If he wants to reap more benefits in the war that is about to explode, Ling Yunxiao has to win over Pei Chengyi and win more opportunities for the sword army. As for whether he ever thought about becoming a lieutenant general, Pei Chengyi is not very clear. In Pei Chengyi's understanding, Ling Yunxiao has never taken military rank seriously. If he wanted to be promoted, he would not have caused other troops to complain about him, and he would have been promoted after the Peninsular War.

It is also easy to understand that 3 airborne corps are huddled together. Although the Airborne Forces are the absolute main force in the Indian operation. But this war is very different from the conflict 4 years ago,

"Positive" "The corpse surrender army can be used as a strike force in the early stage of the war, can it expand the shield in the war..."! Striking power is a problem. If you want to keep the position of the Airborne Forces in the army, you have to seize all opportunities. To get promoted. It is even more necessary to strive for combat missions as much as possible. Especially for Lieutenant General Huaizhiwang of the 6th Army, whether or not he can be promoted in this war will have a bearing on his future. If he still does not become a general, Huaizhiwang will be honorably discharged after reaching the age of Wu in accordance with the provisions of the second military reform.

Among the other army commanders, the one who gave Pei Chengyi the most headache was Fu Weimin, the commander of the Correction Army.

Although Fu Weimin is also a general of the Shaozhuang faction, and he is the commander of the army handpicked by Wang Yuanqing after the Peninsula War, he is different from other generals of the Shaozhuang faction. Fu Weimin had a close relationship with Su Jinhui and others, and when Su Jinhui was the commander of the Cave Army, he was the commander of the armored concave thug brigade, and he was the first general under Su Jinhui, and he made great achievements in the combat operation of attacking Seoul. Fu Weimin was able to be promoted to the commander of the concave army, and he also had a lot of laughter with Su Zhihui.

Pei Chengyi is not worried about the "family faction." Because even Su Jinhui was transferred to the country by Wang Yuanqing.

What he was really worried about was the contradictions between the various main field armies.

Washing the dust for many old army commanders, it was not that Pei Chengyi had too many banknotes in his purse to spend them, but that he wanted to take this opportunity to explain the situation and let everyone understand who the boss was.

"Mr. Xiang spoke to me on the phone before he went to Chengdu." Pei Chengyi glanced at everyone. said, "The letter of appointment has been sent to the General Staff, and according to the meaning of Yuan, we will carry out war deployment in advance, mainly to hoard war materials." The combat missions of the units participating in the war will not be specifically arranged until the war plan is decided. I can't give you an accurate answer as to what this war will look like, because we are only military thugs, not politicians, let alone national leaders. It was clear that this war had to be won, and it had to be won beautifully. All of us here are soldiers, so we say what soldiers should say. How the war is fought is determined by the yuan, and we only have the obligation to carry out the order, and we have no right to intervene in the war. As for the combat tasks of each army, it is determined by the equipment situation, training level, quality of officers and men, tactical characteristics, and war environment of each army, rather than by my own opinion. The generals here have dealt with me for many years and have cooperated during the Korean Peninsula War. If you believe me as a person, then please be patient and wait a little longer. ”

"What does General Pei mean that the war plan has not yet been decided?" Fu Weimin raised questions on behalf of everyone.

Pei Chengyi was slightly small and nodded. said: "I don't want to hide it from you, I also want to come up with a war plan as soon as possible, after all, only war can prove the value of soldiers." But you have to understand. War is a major national event, and only Yuan can make the final decision. Although the General Staff has drawn up dozens of sets of operational plans in accordance with various circumstances. But in the end, which set of combat strategies should be adopted. It also depends on Yuan's war decisions. Besides, any pre-formulated combat plan must be adjusted according to the actual situation before the war breaks out. ”

"Anyway, we listen to the command of Yuan and the Chief of the General Staff." Ling Yunxiao glanced at Pei Chengyi and said, "Since Yuan appointed General Pei as the commander-in-chief of the front line, then General Xi is the commander on behalf of Yuan and the chief of the General Staff. The sword army unconditionally obeyed General Pei's arrangement. ”

"The Airborne Forces also unconditionally obeyed General Pei's arrangement." With the net, he echoed a sentence that was not light or heavy.

Fu Weimin let out a long breath and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know what kind of combat mission we will be sent to perform." In this way, you can prepare as soon as possible. ”

"General Fu, you don't have confidence in the concave army, do you?" Ling Yunxiao sneered.

Hearing this, Fu Weimin's facial muscles twitched a few times.

Pei Chengyi sighed secretly.

Ling Yunxiao is this temper, never taking others in his eyes.

"In fact, Yuan and the chief of the general staff have enough confidence in the field armies Yuan Chenhao took the opportunity to come out of the round," Yuan has not made a decision so far, and the chief of the general staff is not in a hurry to arrange combat missions for the field armies, it is precisely because he believes that the field armies can enter the combat state immediately after receiving the order, and there is no need to arrange tasks in advance. After so many years of construction, the responsiveness of our army has long been proven in several wars. As long as all field armies maintain a good mentality and do their basic work well, they will certainly have the opportunity to show their prominence in the war. ”

After Yuan Chenhao said this, the atmosphere relaxed a little.

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly at Yuan Chenhao. said with a smile: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yuan's words are right, as long as you maintain a good attitude and know that you may go to the battlefield at any time, you can get the opportunity you deserve in the war." Of course, I will make arrangements for the affairs of the front-line headquarters as soon as possible, come up with a specific battle plan as soon as possible, and let the field armies become familiar with the combat tasks as soon as possible. I can't tell you much more than that. ”

Seeing Pei Chengyi speak, Fu Weimin nodded and said, "Since General Pei said so." I don't have anything to say either. As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire, who is the most powerful, see the real chapter on the battlefield. ”

Ling Yunxiao's brows jumped a few times, and his reaction was obvious.

"Today is me Pei Mou to pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone. Since the big picture hasn't been decided yet, let's not talk so much. Pei Chengyi hurriedly raised his glass. This glass of wine, Pei Mou did it first as a respect. If people think of me as a friend they can trust. Just remember who you are during combat operations. For the duties and obligations of soldiers, for the future of the Republic and the Chinese nation, and for the ultimate victory, do it! ”

The crowd raised their glasses.

The situation is similar to Pei Chengyi's prediction, and the contradictions within the army are still so serious, not to mention the contradictions between various branches of the armed forces.
