Chapter 130 Daming Army
As for the Ming Army, because the firepower was too strong, of course, it was mainly because the opponent was too poor, and the division's organization was a bit too large. This was already revealed in the previous wars.
Moreover, the level of the armored division is obviously a waste here. The main jungle warfare in Southeast Asia is where to find vast plains that can allow the torrent of steel to gallop across?
This is not the North China Plain.
The armored troops are more battalion-level-level-providing support for infantry.
Therefore, the reorganization and divisions were reorganized and brigades were reorganized and brigades. The original organization of an armored division, an airborne division, and four infantry divisions was directly adapted or expanded into three armored brigades, two airborne brigades, three mechanized infantry brigades, and three light infantry brigades. In addition, two amphibious combat brigades were equipped with the navy. As for the separate artillery brigades, there were no need for separate artillery brigades. The armored brigades and mechanized infantry brigades had self-propelled artillery, and other light infantry also had a large number of rocket launchers, heavy artillery, light howitzers, etc., which did not require additional artillery at all.
What's more, you can summon air support at any time.
After this reorganization, the Ming army had a total force of 100,000, which was already a daunting force in Southeast Asia, and its equipment was even more outrageous. The tank was still a water-like Xie Mantou. The next step was to change Yang. Because he found that apart from the Soviet tank, he could not find a better suit for him. Both the chief and the M60 were too heavy. It was hard to imagine that a 50-ton iron pile could rush lightning in the mud in Southeast Asia.
They are hard to find even bridges across the river.
Leopard 1, AMX30 and the like have a relatively appropriate weight and perfect maneuverability, but the protection performance is rather miserable.
When he was still confused, he had to put it aside first. Anyway, there was not much pressure in a short period of time. As for his Xie Mantou, he could still last until 1950 years.
The self-propelled artillery is to buy the United States' Yuan Tom, which is the M40 self-propelled cannon. The Xie Mantou chassis plus a 155mm cannon is as powerful as the firepower, and it is not free military aid, but a new product he paid for. Of course, the money he spent was aided by the US government.
As for infantry fighting vehicles, it is his Type 86. This thing has even been produced on the island, of course, only the production part, and the main parts are still produced on the Voyager and then taken here to assemble.
This new concept of armored weapons is attracting attention from the world because they are so easy to use, especially in the tropical rainforest environment, which is simply an invincible weapon. Xie Mantou's brilliance is completely covered by this small chariot with only thirteen tons. It is amazingly fast and has an outrageous ability. It can gallop across the muddy rice fields, rugged mountains, dense jungles, and even float like amphibious tanks. With artillery as the support of infantry, it can lead a squad of infantry charges, tanks, armored transport vehicles, light artillery, and almost all the roles on the battlefield. It has even destroyed the Red Army's light tanks with armor-piercing bombs many times.
On the Java battlefield, the Red Army was not afraid of the tall and heavy Xie Mantou, but was afraid that these short monsters that could be chased behind wherever they ran.
So far, the Ming Army has more than 500 equipment, and it is still in continuous production.
It has also been exported to the outside world, including the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and Gaul, but the quantity is not large, which is for purchase and research.
Of course, what Yang Feng exported was a simplified version.
As for infantry firearms, there is nothing to say. Basically, the full set of Federal German-style, G3 assault rifles, MG3 general machine guns, Mp5 submachine guns, and others such as RPG7, Type 74 flamethrower, Type 96 automatic grenade launcher, mortar, Type 63 rocket launcher, and recoil-free cannon are all equipped.
The most popular one here is the Type 96 automatic grenade launcher. This infantry weapon that sprays shells like machine guns, like his infantry fighting vehicles, is a dazzling star on the Java battlefield, and is also something that countries are staring at. However, the United States and Britain have not been willing to patent it yet, so Yang Feng has never let it go for sale. He has to survive the Goryeo War, and it doesn't matter if the Soviets imitated the RPG7 early and gave it to the volunteer army, then these things would be the iron coffin on the battlefield.
But the automatic grenade launcher poses too great a threat to infantry, especially the large-scale charges that the volunteers are used to. When they encounter this thing, they will become a massacre. Yang Feng also expects the Americans to be more miserable on the battlefield of Goryeo. In that case, the significance of his mainstay will be even more important.
However, the key to this thing is not the design. Grenade launchers are not rare things. They were already in the Second World War. However, the material and technology limitations cannot be made as light as Type 96. He now gave this thing to the Americans, and in the end they could only make a heavy short-barrel machine gun.
The Soviets had made similar things in the 1930s, called rapid-fire infantry cannons, weighing 45 kilograms. It is hard to imagine that infantry would like to drag such a giant to charge.
As for other Army equipment...
"Willie, I remember you made helicopters in the war?"
Yang Feng suddenly ran to his Kunpeng aircraft manufacturing company and came to Messer Schmidt, who was commanding his men to build a wooden aircraft model and said.
"That was made by Folk Wolf. It's a very small thing. It has no use except for shooting artillery soldiers. It also has a slow flight speed and low flight altitude, so it's easy to be shot down. The only advantage is that it doesn't need any airport and can take off and land anytime, anywhere. If you want it, why not buy Sikorsky's R6 directly. The US government will not stop him from selling it to you."
Messerchmidt said.
What he is currently manufacturing is the full-scale model of Yang Feng's light passenger aircraft. From the appearance, it is similar to Yun-Twelve. Moreover, the engine provided by Yang Feng is the same as Yun-Twelve, but the power is slightly larger, with a single unit close to 900 horsepower. Therefore, this aircraft is also slightly larger than Yun-Twelve. It is designed to carry twenty passengers and has a maximum range of about two thousand kilometers. It is designed to be a passenger aircraft, a cargo aircraft, a military transport aircraft, a maritime patrol aircraft, and a forest firefighter...
Anyway, it can do anything.
It can be used as passenger and cargo planes for cheap short-distance airlines, as transport planes for small countries’ air force, as private jets for wealthy people, as patrols for coast guards, and as official services for government agencies…
Yang Feng can't find any reason for this plane to be unpopular.
"Buy Sikorsky's? But I really want to develop it in this regard. Please contact me to see if I can get a group of engineers who have done this. Then I will ask Sikorsky to buy his patent rights and we will develop a helicopter separately."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, even if Sikorsky does not sell the patent right, it doesn't matter. The Ming Empire and the United States have no diplomatic relations, so naturally there is no need to recognize his tail rotor design.
Besides, why doesn’t there be Chinnu? That’s the classic.
"No problem, but many of them should still be in prison."
Messerchmidt shrugged.
"That's even more OK."
Yang Feng shrugged like him and said.
