Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

After arranging the construction of the Type 21 submarine, Jiang Hua began to strengthen the defense of the naval base.

After the naval base was built, a weapon unit was also unlocked in the defense weapon interface of the Red Alert base.

French cannon!

This is the name of this weapon unit.

A French cannon costs 10 yuan.

The performance of the French cannon is worth the price.

Its caliber may not be as good as the insane Gustav cannon, but it also has a caliber of 600 mm. Coupled with the extra-long barrel, it can reach a maximum range of 120 kilometers when launching rocket-assisted projectiles.

It's easy to get to Donglai City from here.

Strictly speaking, the French cannon in other bases is more like a coastal defense gun.

Because it is fixed in position and cannot be moved.

Moreover, the French cannon has a complete fire control system.

This includes a shore-based radar system, which is used to detect information about ships at sea and then automatically transmit the information to the fire control system.

The fire control system will automatically set the shooting parameters and then shoot.

The rate of fire can also reach 1 round per minute because there is a fully automatic loading mechanism in its underground concrete bunker.

It is still very effective against invading warships.

10 yuan is not a lot of money for Jiang Hua at the moment.

So he built four gates directly on the four high grounds along Donglai Bay.

In fact, Jiang Hua didn't expect them to be useful.

However, what he didn't expect was that the four huge cannons he built casually would actually come in handy later.

As time passed, another week passed.

There are already dozens of Red Alert buildings around the branch base in Donglai City, and an entire division of 20,000 troops are scattered around.

It was the Fifth Infantry Division, commanded by Gu Zhengyang.

But just when he was about to let Gu Zhengyang take over Donglai City, the situation in the entire ancient country began to undergo a series of changes.

What caused this change was the rebellion of the Governor of Liangling.

The Liangling region is of vital importance to the SAARC and is also an important source of tax revenue.

It is precisely because of this that the Ling army under the governor of the two ridges is strong, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and all weapons are imported.

With strong strength, ambition will naturally begin to grow.

Governor Lu Mingcheng was not going to follow the Southern Alliance anymore and planned to become independent and establish his own independent kingdom.

This is undoubtedly a betrayal to the SAARC, and betrayers are the most hateful.

How could the Southern Alliance let Lu Mingcheng go?

So the President of the Southern Association for Regional Cooperation, Wu Zhichang, began to mobilize troops and divided more than 400,000 troops into three routes to launch an attack on the Liangling area.

He also asked the Southwest Governor-General Long Jianzhang to join the expedition.

This time, President Wu Zhichang issued a death order.

This also requires Long Jianzhang to take sides.

If he doesn't agree, after Lu Mingcheng is dealt with, he will be the next one to be dealt with.

Of course, Long Jianzhang was not easily scared, but he still decided not to get involved in this matter.

Just call Wu Zhichang back, and he can guarantee that not a single soldier of the Liangling Army will enter the territories of the three southwestern provinces.

In response to this, Wu Zhichang could only call him an old fox.

If he really could conquer the southwest, he would have sent troops to conquer it long ago.

However, he was already satisfied as long as Long Jianzhang did not participate in it.

Faced with the approaching army of 400,000, the Governor of Liangling, Lu Mingcheng, was not panicked, but instead divided his troops to resist. A fierce war broke out in the south.

In order to end the battle quickly, Wu Zhichang sent out the elite troops of the Southern Allied Forces this time, including four of the five major direct armies.

You should know that each of the five major direct armies has a strength of 16 soldiers, and the four armies have a total of soldiers.

The rest are second-line combat troops, and their weapons are still obsolete, so their combat effectiveness is not very high.

The elite troops of the Southern Alliance were deployed, letting Yuan Shicheng, the Prime Minister of the Northern Frontier Court, know that the opportunity had come.

However, he also knew that he couldn't be impatient, so he secretly dispatched troops to gather at the Longhe front.

Qidong Province is located in the lower reaches of the Long River. In the past few days, more than 5 Northern Frontier troops have gathered in Qidong Province.

The nearest northern Xinjiang troop is only about 100 kilometers away from the branch base.

Together with the more than 5 garrison troops in Qidong Province, the northern border troops assembled in Qidong Province at this time reached more than people, at least the strength of divisions.

It was for this reason that Jiang Hua decided to keep his troops in place and canceled the plan to take over Donglai City.

It’s not that he was afraid of the more than 80,000 Northern Frontier Army.

If they really start a fight, these more than 80,000 people may not be able to defeat the 5th Infantry Division.

After all, the number of artillery pieces in the Fifth Infantry Division alone is greater than the number of artillery pieces equipped by the more than 80,000 Northern Frontier Army.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

This time, Jiang Hua is also ready to be the oriole.

If he chose to launch an attack at this time, Yuan Shicheng would definitely give up his plan to attack the Southern Alliance in the south and eliminate this powerful enemy, and instead turn his guns to deal with the Fifth Division.

A single move can affect the entire body. If the fight breaks out in Qidong, Beire will definitely follow suit.

This directly evolved into a decisive battle between him and Yuan Shicheng.

The reason why he and the Saibei Army were able to cooperate was because they had a common enemy in the northern border.

If he was fighting fiercely with the Northern Frontier Army, and the Northern Frontier Army attacked from behind at this time, he might be in a bit of a mess.

Northern Xinjiang must be destroyed, but not now, but when he has the momentum to crush it.

This will also deter the Saibei Army and prevent them from acting rashly.

Jiang Hua has never truly trusted the Saibei Army.

Whether it is between the two of them or between countries, there are only interests.

Only the relationship based on interests is the most solid.

When the interests of both parties collide with each other, that is when the two sides break up.

Therefore, the only relationship between him and the Saibei Army was cooperation and mutual benefit.

His plan was to let the Southern Alliance and the Northern Frontier fight each other, and when they were fighting in full swing, he would attack from behind and directly take over the entire Qidong Province.

Then Beire also sent troops to launch a general attack against Changqing.

At least we have to take over Yanbei and Guiyuan provinces. The best result would be to take over Jinyuan province and destroy Fu Changqing.

The Northern Frontier Imperial Court has a million soldiers, and the numerical advantage is no joke. It is unrealistic to want to swallow them all in one go.

Don't forget that in ancient countries there were not only warlords, but also great powers.

It is impossible for them to watch him destroy Yuan Shicheng. They will definitely intervene, including armed intervention.

So now is not the time to take action. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until Qidong Province is depleted of its military strength and then take it over?

At this time, Jiang Hua felt that the strength of a division was a little too little for Qidong Province.

After all, this time the goal is not just to take over Donglai City, but the entire Qidong Province.

This requires sufficient manpower.

So Jiang Hua concentrated the funds on the branch base and prepared for a large-scale military expansion.

He planned to expand the strength of three more divisions to form the Second Corps.

This matter was also handed over to Ling Liang, who was only responsible for raising the troops.

The framework of the General Staff has been set up, and the personnel of the General Staff drawn from various troops have also been in place and are ready to operate.

Therefore, Ling Liang quickly came up with a plan for military expansion.

One motorized infantry division, one mechanized infantry division, and three independent heavy artillery brigades.

Two motorized infantry divisions, one attacking in the northwest direction to defend against the Northern Frontier Army from the Zhili area.

A motorized infantry division attacked in the southwest direction to defend against the Northern Frontier Army returning from the Long River defense line.

These two divisions were each reinforced by an independent heavy artillery brigade.

The mechanized infantry division is used to sweep across the entire Qidong Peninsula.

Although the eastern part of Qidong Province is also hilly, it is sufficient for mechanized troops to be deployed.

The penetration capability of mechanized troops is not comparable to that of motorized troops.

However, Jiang Hua decided that the troops were slightly insufficient, so he reinforced the mechanized infantry division with an independent heavy tank brigade.

Now he doesn't have much else, but he has sufficient funds and can attack the army at will.

According to the organization plan of the General Staff.

The mechanized infantry division consists of one tank regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, and one self-propelled artillery regiment.

The directly affiliated units include the division headquarters, armored maintenance battalion, mechanized reconnaissance battalion, armored engineer battalion, armored rescue battalion, logistics support battalion, guard battalion, communications company, etc.

The tank regiment has four tank battalions under its command, namely two Leopard tank battalions and two Panzer IV tank battalions.

The Panther tank battalion is equipped with 45 Panther medium tanks, with a total of 90 tanks in the two battalions.

The Panzer IV Battalion was equipped with 68 Panzer IV H tanks, with a total of 136 tanks for the two battalions.

Plus the 22 Panzer IV H tanks of the mechanized reconnaissance battalion.

The total number of tanks in the entire division reached 248.

Compared with the American armored divisions during World War II, the number of tanks is basically the same.

Then there is the mechanized infantry regiment, which adopts a three-three system, with a total of six mechanized infantry battalions.

The main equipment is a multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle equipped with various weapons.

A total of more than 500 multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles of various models are equipped.

Among them, the combat-oriented multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle is mainly equipped with two weapons, namely 23mm machine gun and 76mm low-pressure howitzer.

The second is the self-propelled artillery regiment.

Equipped with three 105mm caliber Wasp self-propelled artillery battalions, totaling 36 vehicles.

Two 150mm Hummel self-propelled artillery battalions, totaling 24 vehicles.

A multi-functional self-propelled rocket launcher battalion, totaling 24 vehicles.

The entire regiment is equipped with a total of 60 howitzers and 24 self-propelled rocket launchers.

This artillery force is comparable to the artillery of an army in northern Xinjiang, and it is also a highly mobile self-propelled artillery.

The independent heavy artillery brigade is still equipped with towed artillery.

Because the main task of the independent heavy artillery brigade is long-range fire suppression, supporting front-line operations is secondary.

So it is not equipped with self-propelled artillery.

However, this heavy artillery brigade is no longer composed of four battalions, but has been changed to a six-battalion system.

其中两个M2型155毫米远程加农炮营、两个B-4型203毫米榴弹炮营、一个M-43型160毫米重型迫击炮营、一个喀秋莎自行火箭炮营。

Compared with the previous one, a heavy mortar battalion and a self-propelled rocket artillery battalion were strengthened.

This also enhances the front-line support capabilities of the independent heavy artillery brigade.

After all, the division-level artillery unit can no longer accommodate so many guns. If more are added, it will reduce the mobility of the troops, which is putting the cart before the horse.

After all, a gun not only needs to be served by the crew, but also requires a large number of logistics personnel, and the logistics personnel need to be equipped with a large number of cars, and these cars need people to serve them.

So don’t underestimate it as just a cannon. There are quite a few soldiers serving it behind the scenes.

And this is just the organization of two independent heavy artillery brigades. The organization of another independent heavy artillery brigade is different.

This heavy artillery brigade is only equipped with one type of artillery, which is the Katyusha rocket launcher, so this independent heavy artillery brigade is an independent rocket artillery brigade.
