Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 105 Rapid Development (Part 2)

The current war is a mechanized war, a digital war.

Since World War II, the role of oil in war has been irreplaceable.If there is no technology to drill oil wells and technology refineries, then Li Lan's so-called mechanized force simply cannot be formed.

Without the two major units of the Red Police Base, it would be extremely difficult for him to achieve oil self-sufficiency.

If one of the red police units is to help Li Lan the most, the non-technical drilling of oil wells is the current situation.Because it can not only resolve military difficulties, but also bring a lot of benefits in terms of people's livelihood.

In terms of military construction, the conscription work has not stopped for a moment.

After the construction of the 30 barracks is completed, the conscription time that originally required 30 minutes has been shortened to 15 minutes.At the end of a day, nearly a hundred Chinese soldiers were recruited, and within three days, the framework of an infantry battalion could be formed.

From the upgrade to the present, Li Lan has a force of more than 6,000 people. Among them, there are 2,000 soldiers who choose armor capabilities. The formed units are all composed according to the organization of the infantry battalion.

At present, in the territory, there are also two fully organized machine infantry battalions, covering only a thousand troops.For the remaining more than 3,000 infantrymen, Li Lan simply asked them to temporarily form a light infantry regiment, which is a temporary organization.

These 6,000 troops are all Chinese soldiers with a capital of 500 bases.According to the division of arms, Li Lan uniformly equipped them with the same weapons, all 97-style assault rifles, and the armored soldiers chose the micro-rush as their weapon.

In terms of individual equipment and hand grenades, the class and exclusion support firepower, Li Lan also spared no effort to build them.In the infantry squad of the machine infantry battalion, in addition to the machine gun, it is also equipped with a 40mm revolver grenade gun.

On the firearms and ammunition page, Li Lan took a fancy to the mgl-140 revolver grenade gun, commonly known as the "infantry gun", currently in service by the US military.

After World War II, "fighting in close combat and fighting fire" has become the only way for infantry in various countries to fight.Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a powerful individual weapon suitable for use in a narrow close combat environment.The mgl revolver grenade gun is a kind of "infantry gun" suitable for infantry in close combat. It can fill the gap in firepower between grenades and heavy grenade machine guns.

In fact, military experts from various countries have analyzed the combat use of weapons and equipment in previous low-intensity conflicts and found that in the common small-scale mobile combat units in close combat, there is often a problem of insufficient firepower density. Soldiers carry at most only grenades. It can throw 30-40 meters, and the large automatic grenade launcher configured to the first platoon (large and heavy, can only be placed on the vehicle platform to fire) has an effective range of 500-1700 meters, mgl revolving grenade gun It just fills up this firepower gap, so that the infantry unit performing the "search-and-destroy" mission can quickly output violent and tight self-defense firepower when encountering an enemy ambush, and the cover forces are transferred to a relatively safe position.

In fact, mgl is already a mature weapon of the "first year". It was installed in the South African National Defence Force in 1983, and successively participated in the Angola War, the Congo (Kinshasa) War and the Libyan Civil War. The advantages of increasing individual firepower are welcomed by combat troops.

The biggest structural feature of mgl is that it uses a revolver-type loading system similar to a revolver. Six rounds of 40mm grenades are housed in a rotating magazine, and the pre-tightened coil spring provides the loading power.When loading the bomb, the soldier first closes the safety, pulls a hook under the barrel to pull out the revolver shaft, then rotates the bracket to the right to expose the barrel on the revolver, and then rotates the revolver counterclockwise to tighten the coil spring .After that, the grenade can be loaded into the chamber.After loading, turn the bracket to the left to close the revolver and insert the revolver shaft to reset. The mgl is loaded.

When firing, the infantry first opened the manual safety above the mgl grip, and when the trigger was pulled, the firing pin fired the grenade primer.When the warhead passes through the air guide hole above the barrel, part of the gunpowder gas pushes the piston through the air guide hole, drives the ratchet to lock, releases the revolver, and the revolver rotates under the action of the coil spring until the next bullet is aligned with the launch tube.

Now that they have used the number of soldiers, they can shoot twice at a target 400 meters away in one second.The shooting accuracy within 150 meters is comparable to that of a sniper rifle.The mgl can fire various types of 40mm grenade, among which the aggregate fragment anti-personnel projectile can destroy both light armored vehicles and personnel in the vehicle.

Compared with the single-gun hanging grenade launcher used by soldiers now, the combat rate of fire of mgl can reach 12-15 rounds per minute, and the firepower output intensity of a mgl is equivalent to the gun hanging grenade launcher equipped with the entire infantry platoon .

Of course, this grenade gun is not as advanced as the American m32 grenade gun. It cannot be equipped with optical sights or night vision devices. It can only be aimed with the simplest machinery.However, this weapon has another advantage, that is, it is very suitable for battlefields in hot weather, and it is also very convenient to use.

The existence of the barracks, in addition to the continuous recruitment of soldiers every day, also needs to supplement the number of engineers.In the past month or so, there were originally only 500 engineers. In order to meet the construction needs of the territory, they beckoned another 500. Even the number of military dogs continued to be recruited by 200.

However, it is a pity that after thousands of people were enlisted, the hero unit was never seen again, and now there is only the Hoffmander hero unit.Of course, Li Lan didn't have any gains at all. He also found a few talents in it. Once he came out, he was a school officer with the ability of an intermediate commander, which was considered a consolation prize.

It is also the first time that Li Lan has such a large number of troops. If he wants to form a terrorist organization, the number is completely enough. If he is determined to become a pirate, he will be enough to dominate the king.However, although this number is quite large, the distance to upgrade to advanced authority is only a small part of the target.

You should know that armored soldiers are not counted in the number of mercenaries. Armored soldiers have an index of armored soldiers, which should not be confused.According to his understanding of high-level authority indicators, a minimum of 30,000 people are required for the source of troops to reach the target.Naturally, mobilized troops who are not seen by the base cannot be counted here.

Therefore, Li Lan had six to seven thousand troops, but he didn't feel that he was proud of anything.

As for the armored brigade, Li Lan, who currently has only one armored battalion, is even more helpless.To be able to serve as an armored brigade, at least three tank battalions must be incorporated, plus one or two machine infantry battalions or self-propelled artillery battalions.For two armored brigades, at least six tank battalions are required. Without these six tank battalions, it would be better to simply call a mobile infantry brigade.

Currently, the base has 35 tank factories, five more than the number of barracks.The time saved in construction is about the same, which can reduce the basic time by half.

A rhino tank, originally built in one day, now only takes twelve hours.The infantry fighting vehicle, which originally took six hours, now only takes three hours.The only regret is that you can only build the same unit each time. After you select the rhino tank, you can only build this one, even if there are more tank factories.If you want to change to another type of tank unit, you can only wait for the completion of the construction of the previous one besides suspending.

Originally, Li Lan thought that as long as the tank factory and barracks were built more and the power supply kept up, the time to produce things would be greatly reduced.When the tank factory became thirty-five and thirty-seat, the production time did not decrease again.

In this regard, the assistant explained that this is the current limit.Whether we can continue to reduce construction time in the future is still unknown.

Helpless Li Lan could only accept it silently.The rhythm that can be achieved in seconds in fantasy is basically impossible to achieve now.

At present, of the 12 technologically drilled oil wells, six of them have been directly converted into base funds. Now, the base’s daily capital income has reached the senior authority upgrade index, which has exceeded 20,000.

The cost of each rhino tank is 80,000, plus the produced ammunition and armor, and the price will increase by at least 10,000.Moreover, the base currently does not have a maintenance plant, nor can it produce tanks and car parts. Li Lan still needs to take out a few tanks, which are specifically used to dismantle the east wall and repair the west wall.The same is true for armored vehicles, and for logistics, Li Lan can only rely on this very helpless method.

Among them, the most wasted is the tank barrel and track. After one or two months of training, three tanks have been dismantled to replace parts.As for those tanks with major failures, Li Lan simply sealed them up, and repaired them after the repair factory came out.Maintenance personnel and engineers are competent enough, but whoever makes him does not have the ability to produce parts at all.No matter how many engineers, there are no replacement parts, they can only sigh with hope.

Armored troops and infantry constitute the basis of current combat effectiveness. Without an air navy, he can only increase the combat effectiveness of the army as much as possible.

Now for the needs of construction, he has not produced rhino tanks and infantry fighting vehicles for four or five days, and has been producing construction machinery and equipment.This time, when Zeng Zhihua returned to China, Li Lan also handed him a long list to help him purchase it at a real price.Basically, they are all necessary materials and tools for territorial construction, but Li Lan requires cash on delivery.

In these days, Farah has begun to change the direction of his work. In addition to helping the territorial propaganda, he began to become a full-time arms dealer, ranging from infantry chariots to all kinds of firearms and bullets in the world, as well as various types of individual heavy weapons and artillery.

Li Lan is about to accumulate real currency. No matter how valuable the base funds are, it cannot be turned into real currency in an instant, and real currency is inseparable for another moment.Therefore, Li Lan also began to build the road to arms dealers.Now he has a lot of customers to face, as far as the Somali government and anti-government forces in central Somalia, as far as South Africa, there are countless buyers.
