Chapter 665 Light and Fast Combat Force

After walking around the camp with Wen Chaoyang and discussing the next work, Li Mu returned to the company headquarters, took out his notebook and pen, and immediately fell into thinking about the development of the 107th Company.

What he means is clearly that the advantages of wheeled armor platforms have not been fully exploited.

Li Mu heard rumors that the Type 09 wheeled armor platform can maintain a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour if used for maneuvers on highways, or even higher if necessary.In terms of speed alone, it is comparable to civilian cars.

The reason why it is believed that the troops who were first equipped with wheeled armor platforms did not fully utilize the performance of this type of equipment is not to say that they do not know how to use it, but that the nature of the troops limits the performance of the equipment.

To date, the Army has no true light rapid combat force.

According to the configuration of the light and fast combat force prepared by the military research department, there is a very obvious feature. The light and fast combat force is a fast combat force built on a unified light and high-mobility combat platform.The representative of the Northern Confederate Army was the Stryker Brigade.

Therefore, it makes sense to say that the service of a new piece of equipment may mean a change in the strategic development direction of the entire military.

Although Li Mu is far from having the influence to influence the development direction of the army, this does not prevent him from judging the decisions of the upper management on strategic direction.

The development of the Army's ground forces is very obvious, with heavy armored equipment and light equipment developing simultaneously.This is a decision made based on the overall national defense strategy. The Yanguo army does not need global intervention. The first purpose is to maintain the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty. Therefore, heavy armed forces with strong firepower and strong defense capabilities must develop steadily.

With the changes in armed conflicts under new situations and the needs of international peacekeeping, the development of light combat forces cannot stop.To put it bluntly, as a world power, Yanguo's military has never thought of leaving any shortcomings in its military research and development system, equipment system or troop establishment system.

I must have what you have, and I must have what you don’t have.

From another perspective, one of the prerequisites for the Northern Federal Army to completely abandon its heavy armored forces is that they believe that a world war will never break out in the next 50 years. To put it bluntly, there will be no war with the Yan Kingdom in the next 50 years.

What's more, the Northern Federal Army has given up its plan to completely abandon its heavy armored forces after 2010, and still maintains 10,000+ digital heavy armed forces equipped with a large number of main battle tanks.

Li Mu even conspired to believe that when the Northern Confederate soldiers proposed to completely abandon the concept of heavy artillery and heavy armor, they did not hesitate to cancel dozens of research and development projects, including the Crusader howitzer system and the Comanche stealth attack helicopter. After being induced to gradually enter the rapid upgrading of armaments, the Yan Kingdom army!
The clumsy Cold War thinking tricks, but the current army of the Yan State is not the army of the Luo State back then.

In a conventional ground war environment, heavy equipment still plays an irreplaceable and solid role, just like the load-bearing columns of a building.

In fact, the Northern Federal Army has suffered a lot in the past two years. During the Iraq War, the Stryker Brigade was beaten to a pulp by guerrilla rockets during urban combat, and the heavy-duty troops equipped with Abrams main battle tanks were beaten to a pulp. The armed forces are able to operate with ease in urban combat.This forced Northern Confederate soldiers to develop supporting equipment suitable for urban combat based on the Abrams main battle tank, rather than building on the Stryker brigade.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is undoubtedly not a wise approach to choose one or the other across the board.

The Yanguo Army has a large number of motorized infantry units. Building a part of light and fast combat units based on this is also a necessary action in promoting the mechanization process.In other words, whether it is a heavily armed force or a light combat force, it is a requirement for the mechanization of the entire army.

In fact, light mechanized combat units have appeared in some military regions. Although the names are different, they are actually units with light armored vehicles as the core combat platform.However, one thing is more frustrating. These light mechanized combat units still have a large number of artillery units and a certain number of main battle tanks.

This is what traditional thinking is doing.

If the organization is not consistent, it will be useless no matter how much you change your combat thinking, because you do not have the conditions to put it into practice, and there is no way to convert literal things into combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Li Mu became more determined to build a complete light and fast combat force.The tip of the pen touched the text, and he began to write down the idea and analysis of the light and fast combat force. The 107th Company is a scaled-down version of the force. Experience was gained from the formation of this company and officers were trained.

A few minutes after writing, Li Mu frowned again, with some bitterness on his face.The Northern Federal Army's light rapid combat force is based on a complete battlefield information command system, which is the so-called C4ISR system.However, this type of system in our army is still in its infancy and cannot provide much help at all.

With a deep sense of helplessness spreading throughout his body, Li Mu sighed slightly and continued to write rapidly. There was only one way to imitate the simulation method used when establishing the reform experimental class.

The last word was written. It was almost noon. Li Mu packed up and headed out. It was time to go see the "officers and soldiers" under his command.
