Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone
Chapter 16: Artillery Doctrine, Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade
Now that the central and northern regions of Beire Province have been recovered, the next plan will definitely be the southern part of Beire Province.
Of course, neither Fu Changqing of Jinyuan nor Yuan Shicheng of Beijiang would sit idly by and watch themselves recover the southern part of Beire Province.
So Jiang Hua could be sure that the two parties would cooperate to intervene.
Therefore, he must make plans for a joint operation with the Jinyuan Army, Beire Army and the Beijiang New Army.
He also has to guard against threats from another side, that is, the powerful Saibei Army.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Before, Beire Province was a mess, and this could also be a buffer zone between Northern Xinjiang and Saibei, so both sides tacitly condoned the chaos in Beire.
But now he has appeared, ending the chaos in Beire Province, and is also a threat to the Saibei Army.
Of course, the Saibei Army may also choose to cooperate with him.
After all, they have a common enemy - Yuan Shicheng of the Northern Frontier.
However, he couldn't pin his hopes on the Saibei Army cooperating with him.
If the two armies confront each other, it is not impossible that the Saibei Army will attack from behind.
Besides, even if the two sides cooperate, they still have to be on guard against the Saibei Army.
It is necessary to deploy troops in important towns bordering both sides.
Moreover, the bandit problem in Beire Province is also quite serious, including the current Chishan County. There are still defeated soldiers and bandits in the deep mountains, and each county needs troops to be stationed.
Therefore, the current strength of a division seems a bit stretched.
Jiang Hua decided to add two more divisions to form an army.
Two divisions of troops were deployed to recapture the southern region, and one division of troops was stationed in the central and northern regions to guard against the Saibei Army.
This is his next plan for a large-scale military expansion.
One of the newly added divisions is still a Red Alert field division composed of pure Red Alert soldiers.
As for the other division, he decided to recruit soldiers from the militias of various counties, and then form a garrison light infantry division with the Red Alert Army soldiers as the backbone.
The organization of the garrison infantry division is relatively simple.
Three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment and the division's direct-affiliated troops.
For example, the engineering battalion, communications company, reconnaissance company, medical battalion, logistics support battalion, etc.
The total strength of the division is about people.
Among them, about 3000 are the backbone of the Red Alert soldiers, and the remaining 9000 are recruits.
These recruits will be able to initially develop combat effectiveness after six weeks of recruit training.
Generally speaking, the best training for recruits is more than 12 weeks, and the worst case scenario is at least 8 weeks.
The reason why it only took 6 weeks was because these soldiers were recruited from the militia.
They have already started training as recruits, so recruits only need to undergo simpler training.
This constitutes a three-tiered troop system of militia, garrison, and field forces.
Moreover, in ancient countries, garrison troops were considered the main field forces.
After all, the equipment is there, and its luxury is no less than that of the Northern Xinjiang New Army Infantry Division.
There is not much in the ancient country except for its large population, which is 400 million. Such abundant human resources must be utilized.
However, the main force division still needs to be Red Alert soldiers, after all, loyalty is something Jiang Hua values very much.
Of course, even if it is a garrison division, its loyalty will not be low.
Because the backbone of the garrison division are all Red Alert soldiers, there is no need to worry about any trouble with them around.
During this war, Jiang Hua also saw the deterrent power brought by heavy artillery. As someone who advocated large-scale artillery, he decided to form an independent heavy artillery unit with greater deterrent power.
This force is organized into battalions, and the artillery caliber it is equipped with is at least 150 mm. The larger the caliber, the better. Of course, the premise is that it can be moved on the poor roads in the northern heat province.
Looking at the dazzling array of heavy artillery in the base, Jiang Hua immediately fell in love with two of them.
The first one is the B-4 heavy howitzer, known as the father's hammer, with a caliber of 203 mm, which is Jiang Hua's favorite.
One shot from this thing will basically kill or injure anyone within a hundred meters. It will be difficult to survive within at least half a football field, not to mention a football field. This thing is a true strategic heavy artillery.
And because of its special tracked gun mount, it has very good passability, especially on muddy roads.
As an ultra-heavy howitzer weighing 15.8 tons, it still has a towing speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
So even in the Northern Reef Province, as long as the weight limit of the bridge is within the range, there is a road and you can run.
Another cannon, the M38, which was finalized and produced by the United States in 59, is also known as the Long-legged Tom. It is a suppression artillery with excellent performance.
The weight of 12 tons is lighter than that of the B-4. It can pass through anything that the B-4 can pass through, and it also has a range of 23 kilometers.
It is capable of performing suppression and fire support tasks.
Jiang Hua plans to equip this brigade with two heavy artillery battalions, namely two howitzer battalions and two cannon battalions, each equipped with 12 guns, for a total of 48 guns.
It will be organized into an independent heavy artillery brigade under the military.
This heavy artillery brigade is composed entirely of Red Alert soldiers.
However, since we want to recruit soldiers, we have to consider the issue of military pay.
Moreover, Red Alert soldiers are strictly speaking no different from humans. They also have emotions and desires, and in the future they will integrate into society and form their own families.
Therefore, military pay must be distributed equally.
As for how to determine the military pay, Jiang Hua decided to follow the standards of the Northern Frontier Army's direct divisions.
Although he has nearly 300,000 yuan in funds coming in every day, he has to spend money on many things, so he tries to save as much as possible.
What's more, the salary standard of the Northern Frontier New Army's direct division is not low. An ordinary third-class private earns 12 dollars a month, a second-class private 13 dollars, a first-class private 14 dollars, and as for non-commissioned officers, it is basically 18 dollars or more.
By the time you reach regimental-level officers, your monthly rank is over a hundred.
In this era, the purchasing power of the ocean is still very strong.
12 yuan a month can basically ensure that the whole family has enough food and warm clothes.
Moreover, there will be no withholding of military pay in the Red Alert Corps, and the soldiers will receive their actual pay every month.
To pay the soldiers, there will be an additional fixed expense every month.
Suddenly Jiang Hua discovered that in addition to being used to recruit soldiers, the 300,000 oceans a day were also needed to maintain local operations and pay military salaries. There were more and more places to spend money, but the income remained unchanged.
I have to find a way to open source it.
Moreover, when the amount of ocean flowing out of the base reaches a certain level, it will impact the purchasing power of the ocean, thus leading to inflation.
It's like printing money all the time. When it exceeds a certain threshold, the currency will inevitably depreciate.
But if the money comes through open source, it's not a problem.
But the Red Alert base is just a military base, and there are only two ways to make money.
One is selling arms, and the other is selling military supplies.
Among all military supplies, medicines are undoubtedly the most profitable.
Nowadays, all Western medicines in ancient countries rely on imports, the prices are high, and the market demand is still huge.
Therefore, selling medicines produced by the base can indeed serve as a major source of income.
With the money he earned, he could purchase machinery, equipment and technology from abroad to develop industry and agriculture.
However, Beire Province is bordered by Fu Changqing's Beiyan to the west, the Zhili region of Beijiang to the south, and the Saibei Army to the north and east. It is a strictly inland province with no access to the sea and even no external channels.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua started to have a headache again.
If it is possible to sell it abroad through the Saibei Army’s territory, it would be a good option.
However, the attitude of the Saibei Army is not clear now, and further observation is needed.
Just when Jiang Hua was having a headache about these things, his long-awaited heroic spy unit Zheng Yaoxian finally came out.
When Jiang Hua saw Zheng Yaoxian, he looked at him carefully.
The base's face-shaping is still very powerful, and it is no different from the Sixth Brother in his memory.
"Commander, Zheng Yaoxian reports to you."
Jiang Hua invited Zheng Yaoxian to take a seat and said, "You should be aware of the current situation. The Military Intelligence Bureau needs to be established as soon as possible to cooperate with the army to complete intelligence collection. If you have any difficulties, just raise them and I will solve them for you right away."
Zheng Yaoxian shook his head and said, "As long as the commander can assign me enough spies, it will be fine. It would be best if he could also give me some funding to carry out my work."
Jiang Hua nodded and said, "Staffing is not a problem. I can approve as much as you want, but I don't have the money. I'm short of money right now.
But I can give you medicine, and as for how to cash it out, that's your problem, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
The two biggest problems have been solved, so Zheng Yaoxian naturally has no problems anymore.
He immediately stood up and saluted, "Please rest assured, Commander. Give me three months, no, give me two months, and I will be able to build a northern intelligence network centered on Beire Province."
"No, I'll give you three months. I need to see a viable Military Intelligence Bureau."
"Yes, I promise I won't let the commander down."
Hearing the confidence in Zheng Yaoxian's tone, Jiang Hua was also very satisfied.
It is worthy of being a hero-level unit of the Red Alert base, and he, as the commander, doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Unfortunately, there is only one heroic unit so far.
As for the next heroic unit, it is still unknown when it will appear.
Far away in the Marshal's Mansion in Shengzhou City, Andong Province, Jiang Jingrui, the young marshal, looked at the girl in front of him with a headache and said helplessly, "I'm not going to Beire Province for fun this time. It's a mission assigned by my father. Besides, there's probably going to be a war there. It's too dangerous for you to go there."
The girl shook her head stubbornly and said, "I don't care, I'm going. If you can go, why can't I?"
Seeing that cheating did not shake Jiang Jingrui, the girl used her trump card.
"Brother, please, please?"
The girl grabbed Jiang Jingrui's arm and shook him, acting coquettishly.
"Again! I can't stand you.
OK, as long as your father agrees to let you go, I have no problem with that."
He also knew why the girl insisted on going to Beire Province with him.
He did it just to hide from someone, and that person was none other than the youngest son of Yang Changhui, one of Jiang Yulin's sworn brothers.
And just a few days ago, Yang Changhui came to his house to propose marriage for his youngest son.
However, Jiang Yulin did not like the dandy boy. Not only did he often go out to have affairs with other women, he also raped women and caused quite a stir.
How could he push his own daughter into the fire?
However, as Yang Changhui was a veteran of the Saibei Army and his sworn brother, it was difficult for him to refuse, so he could only resort to the tactic of procrastination.
When his daughter Jiang Bairui proposed to follow Jiang Jingrui to Beire Province, Jiang Yulin agreed immediately, taking this opportunity to hide away.
