If it can stay in the top ten to tomorrow, then Gorgeous will fulfill its promise tomorrow and the ten will break out.

"How about the current formation of the fire support battalion?"
The combat battalion-level troops are formed, and the battalion-level troops that serve as fire support cannot be absent.
Among them, the fire support battalion is very important. It is used to attack the enemy with firepower before fighting the infantry.
Long Li Zheng replied: "It is expected that the formation will be completed tomorrow. The fire support battalion has now been enrolled with two hundred people, and there are still 142 people left. The 24 trucks that dragged the fire support battalion's 155 howitzer and other All of the 24 ammunition vehicles in the battalion have been installed. The battalion has a total of twenty-four type 20 155mm howitzers. It is planned to establish three artillery companies and a battalion company as a guard unit, as well as supporting engineering platoons and artillery. Drone team."
Since the army does not yet have an air force capable of supporting it, when the fire support battalion is formed, some establishments have been specially increased.
Fortunately, the current troop does not need to conduct long-distance operations, and there is no problem with this organization structure.
As the main equipment of the fire support battalion, the so-called 20-type 155mm howitzer has already been combated in Wasteland.
Artillery is also the only equipment of the Red Police Corps that can carry out long-distance firepower delivery except for the rocket artillery unit.
Of course, it is impossible for a huge base to have only this type of artillery, as well as many small-caliber artillery, and of course heavy artillery with a caliber up to 203 mm.
The barrel of this large-caliber heavy artillery has a long range and can strike nearly 60 kilometers. If you launch a rocket extended range bomb, you can hit a hundred kilometers without a problem. Of course, the hit rate is not very good.
And under this large-caliber heavy gun, there is a smaller 175mm heavy gun, but these two guns are too heavy. And in terms of actual combat value, it is not necessarily higher than the 155mm artillery.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen chose the 155mm artillery and planned to form some artillery companies for the light infantry, equipped with 105mm artillery.
At present, as long as the fire support battalion is formed, it can quickly exert its combat effectiveness.
It only needs to be placed in the middle position between Marin Town and Samarra, and you can hit the enemies in Samarra.
The value of a weapon is mainly not based on whether it is advanced. But to see whether it suits the needs of the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the base does not currently have self-propelled artillery, otherwise Cai Ruichen would not choose these towed howitzers.
After all, compared to those self-propelled artillery, this towed artillery is also very troublesome to use.
"According to the original plan, a combat brigade will be formed in a month. At present, are there any difficulties?" Cai Ruichen asked.
"As long as the soldiers can gather together. Then the problem of equipment is left. Guns, ammunition, trucks, heavy weapons, and individual firepower equipment are no problem. But so far, the army has only accepted three assault vehicles. According to the formulation It is planned that once the combat brigade is formed, it will require at least 420 warrior assault vehicles to be equipped for infantry use." Zhao Long said.
"There is no problem with the Warrior assault vehicle. Mass production has already begun. It will be delivered to the troops on time in a month," said Cai Ruichen.
The warrior assault vehicle is actually a four-by-four-wheel light armored combat vehicle, somewhat similar to the American armored Humvee.
This weapon was naturally a product from the base. After his authority was upgraded to junior level, it appeared on the production list of junior arsenal.
The combat weight of this assault vehicle is nearly ten tons. Heavy armor covers the entire car, bulletproof windows cannot be raised and lowered, and on the back seat of the car, there is a small machine gun turret.
On the machine gun turret, you can install any machine gun, of which the most powerful is the smaller version of the Getter cannon.
Of course, anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles can be added for air defense and anti-armor operations.
Each assault vehicle can carry five people, and there is a large carriage in the back for storing infantry combat equipment and medical supplies, and when necessary, it can also be used to carry the wounded to evacuate the battlefield.
An assault vehicle of this kind costs five thousand dollars to build, and it also includes a weapon system, of course, ammunition must be provided separately.
In terms of protection, due to rapid assaults, the body's defense is barely able to defend against some less-killing rocket launchers, and can withstand the firepower of heavy machine guns.
The emergence of this weapon will become an important equipment for the infantry of the Red Police Corps.
At present, because there is no land warfare equipment such as armored vehicles and tanks, this vehicle can only be used as a platform for soldiers to fight.
However, compared with most armed forces in Iraq, this assault vehicle is already very powerful.
At least compared to the most advanced armored Humvee of the US military, it is not weak, not to mention that it can be loaded with anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, which is more versatile.
Instead of a Hummer like the US military, it can only be equipped with a machine gun.
For the construction of the army, it is a top priority, and Cai Ruichen is not the kind of person who values ​​equipment more than life.
All along, in Cai Ruichen's mind, the life of every Red Police soldier has been extremely precious.
If there is equipment that can improve their chances of survival on the battlefield, even if it is more expensive, he will produce it without hesitation and give it to the soldiers.
In the future, as the power expands, the threat of war will be greater, and it is very necessary to build a powerful force.
But sometimes, no matter how good the weapons are, they also need better soldiers to use them.
This is what Cai Ruichen is very fortunate about, otherwise it would be really difficult to cultivate a modern army from scratch.
Especially when the enemy is all around ~EbookFREE.me~ he has no time to develop elite troops from scratch.
Every soldier in the Red Police Corps is a natural soldier. He does not need education and training. All kinds of weapons and equipment can be used for fun. They are very skilled.
But it is precisely because of this that Cai Ruichen cherishes these soldiers even more. In his mind, these people are no different from their relatives.
It's just that there are no undead on the battlefield. The defensive battle of the wasteland, under the absolute advantage of firepower, also killed more than two hundred, and faced a group of very primitive enemies.
In the present world, the Red Police Corps is not facing mutants who can only use brute force as a weapon, but a group of soldiers who also have professional military training, with a sound command mechanism, not just mutants with a little wisdom. comparable.
Therefore, for the upcoming large-scale actual combat, Cai Ruichen plans to invest three thousand regular troops in the battle, and Cai Ruichen is inevitably a little worried.
After all, this will also be a real foreign battle of the Red Police Corps, and it may be a long-term battle, which is not comparable to the battle in Marin Town. (To be continued...)
