Chapter 233 Our army’s biggest shortcoming!

"The biggest shortcoming is Army Aviation."

Looking at Chen Tao without flinching, Li Mu first gave a concise answer, and then, under Chen Tao's gaze, he began to answer in detail: "Sir, you just said that air assault operations are a systematic combat project. "

"I have to explain the term air assault. In the traditional sense, air assault refers to the combat operations of aviation forces to attack ground and water targets. What the Air Force calls air assault is actually part of their ground attack tactics. It is similar to the assault charge of our infantry units. But the air assault we are discussing now is two different concepts from what the Air Force is talking about. We mainly rely on the armed helicopters of the Army Aviation to carry out strikes."

"Actually, it is not difficult to understand the 101st Air Assault Division of the Northern Federal Soldiers. From the perspective of force composition, the 101st Air Assault Division integrates infantry units and army aviation units. This integration is not a simple matter of bringing together personnel and equipment. Manage training together, but an absolute organic combination, using a complete command, communication, intelligence and control system, also known as a data link, to organically combine each combat unit. For example, in our infantry, every soldier is a combat unit , exists organically in the entire system. The powerful combat capabilities of the 101st Air Assault Division of the Northern Federal Soldiers are maintained by the advanced command, communication, intelligence and control system, and they can even obtain timely information from reconnaissance satellites and aerial reconnaissance units at any time. Support of reconnaissance intelligence.”

After a pause, Li Mu said, "I personally believe that it will take at least ten years for our army to initially possess the systematic combat capabilities of Northern Federal soldiers. The current construction of our army's army aviation force still follows the 90s and [-]s of the last century. The method is basically independent of the Army. We can actually notice a detail. Many of the pilots of the Army Aviation are still in the Air Force. To completely become a true Army light cavalry, the Army Aviation needs more time."

Li Mu paused again, still unfinished, and said, "From a specific perspective, our army lacks professional armed helicopters. There are two types of helicopters equipped in batches, one is the Z-80 and the other is the Mi-Gang Yao-Qi-Yao. The former is a Lanxi Guoluo Dolphin bought in the 20s. It was originally bought for the navy to be used as a carrier-based aircraft. Later it was landed on land and imitated and improved. This process lasted 20 years. It is still being continuously modified and used in production. The new armed helicopter has not been named yet, which is actually very sad. Not to mention the Mi Gang Yao Qi Yao, the only medium-sized transport helicopter in Maozi's inventory that is suitable for use has been used for 80 years, copied and improved, and then improved and reproduced. That's it. These two outdated helicopters cannot support the army's dream of air assault. Of course, we now know that the W-[-] is under intense research and development, and it is estimated that it will be equipped with troops in another two to three years. That thing is a real armed helicopter, but the general-purpose helicopter is still blank. The civilian version of the Federalist Black Hawk bought in the [-]s has been studied by the military industry for so many years, but no finished product has been produced. In the final analysis , China's research and development capabilities in this area are still too weak."

His mouth was a little dry, Li Mu took a breath and said, "Including quantity, not only are there few aircraft types, but also the number of equipment is small. Why? Because the production capacity of the Harbin factory cannot increase. I personally estimate that the Army Aviation Force needs at least [-] more." Only helicopters of various types can initially meet the demand. We can see that the Army Aviation Regiment of our group army is newly established. It was only formed the year before last year. There are only about twenty helicopters coming and going. In addition to those responsible for ground strike missions, W[-]G, how many people can be carried by a dozen rice barges and Yaoqi Yao? It killed an organic infantry company! What happened to our battalion last year? It took three trips for the entire Army Aviation Regiment to deliver the entire battalion to the target area. ! Don’t forget, our battalion was not fully staffed at that time!”

As he spoke, Li Mu became a little excited, and his tone became heavier and heavier. The brothers around him also felt heavy after hearing this. The common people can sleep, but those in military uniforms must stay awake at all times, and they must clearly understand that our army and foreigners are However, we can neither be arrogant nor belittle oneself.

"It is true that in terms of the combat quality of individual soldiers, our army will not lose to the soldiers of the Northern Federation." Li Mu continued, "A few years ago, our army began to pay close attention to military training. Soldiers with more than three years of service experience this. The most profound and obvious change is that more bullets are fired every year. So many that it makes me want to vomit when I mention shooting! What is the reason? The military budget has increased, and more money is spent on military training. The above, however, is far from enough. Take airborne training as an example, it is held once a year, and our third brigade is the first unit designated to transform into air assault, and other units can be imagined. A formed battalion A week-long airborne landing training, less than ten real-life aircraft landings, plus a drill, will cost millions of military expenditures. Modern warfare is fought with real money and silver, and a modern army is made with a lot of silver. Yes. Sir, comrades, in the final analysis, I think the biggest shortcoming of our army is the serious shortage of military budget!!!"

Li Mu was still unfinished and said angrily, "Every year when a little bit more experience is gained, some people will chirp. Forget about foreign media chirping. There are also some so-called well-known Internet bloggers who claim to be public knowledge. They close their eyes and say that our country is engaging in militarism. , they don’t even understand the most basic common sense of nonsense. Our country’s military budget is less than [-]% of the country’s GDP! To those so-called well-known Internet bloggers, I, Lao Li, just say one thing - I’ll blame you all. horse!"

"okay!"

Chen Tao couldn't stand listening anymore, the boy's expression was the same as Guan Gong's as he spoke, he was so excited, if those people were in front of him, he would be able to pick up his rifle and shoot straight away.

"sit down!"

Chen Tao glared at Li Mu. He felt happy, but he had to lecture Li Mu, "No. [-], you are still an angry young man at heart."

"Report to the chief! Angry youth harms the country! Without angry youth, the country will perish!" Li Mu said, squeezing his neck.

"Shut up!" Chen Tao said, "My question is what is the biggest shortcoming of our army in building an air assault force? Why are you talking about so many useful and useless things to show that you are well-informed? "

With a vigorous wave of his hand, Chen Tao said, "This problem is over! You, including me, are just the smallest constituents of the country's armed forces. Don't aim too high, don't think about things that you can't control, recognize your own position, Try to do what you should do well, this is serving the country!"

Chen Tao lowered his voice and said, "The starting point of the air assault force lies with the five of you. You don't care whether the Army Air Forces has enough planes or whether the military expenditures are sufficient. Doing what you need to do well is better than anything else. !”

"Let's talk about combat ideas! Let's start with you!"
