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

Chapter 8: Tank No. 4, Fu Changqing dispatched troops

In the armored factory interface, in addition to real-life weapons and equipment, there are also units belonging to the Red Alert base.

For example, this multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle is an exclusive unit of the Red Alert base.

Multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles are also divided into two types and dozens of models.

They are wheeled multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles and tracked multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles.

The models include reconnaissance, troop transport, command, amphibious, engineering, mine clearance, etc.

However, Jiang Hua is not considering equipping the troops with armored vehicles at present.

The reason is very simple. The terrain of the Northern Reef Province makes it impossible to deploy large-scale armored mechanized combat forces.

Mountainous terrain is the biggest obstacle to mechanized troops, so motorized infantry is still the main focus at present.

As for artillery, Jiang Hua strengthened a divisional artillery regiment.

The main task of this reinforced divisional artillery regiment is to suppress the enemy's artillery firepower.

The new army of the northern border had the support of the two great powers, Hans and Fuso, and occupied Zhili and the Central Plains. It had strong soldiers and a large number of artillery.

When he launches an attack on the southern part of Beire Province, the two sides will definitely meet.

So he also has to prepare in advance.

The only unit that can suppress enemy artillery is artillery with a longer range, and the cannon is the ideal unit.

During World War II, the A-19 cannon still had a place and was also a cannon with relatively excellent performance.

它的口径是122毫米,姜华选择的则是A-19/M1931/37型,使用的是ML-20型152毫米榴弹炮的炮架。

As a large-caliber field cannon, its range is excellent, with a maximum range of 20 kilometers.

Of course, its weight is not light, even heavier than the ML-20 152mm heavy howitzer, weighing nearly 8 tons.

For example, the later famous ISU-122 used the A-19 cannon.

In fact, cannons of this caliber and range are long-range suppressive firepower at the legion level.

But Jiang Hua doesn't care about these. For him who owns the Red Alert base, as long as it is useful, other things are not within his consideration.

You will only know whether it is useful or not after using it.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

If the troops report that a certain weapon is not working well, just replace it.

This is the confidence that the Red Alert Base gives him.

The A-19 cannon was organized into a separate artillery regiment, which consisted of three artillery battalions, each equipped with 12 guns, for a total of 36 guns for the entire regiment.

The firepower is already very fierce.

If the A-19 cannon had been used in the previous shelling of Chishan County, two or three shots would have been enough to blow down a section of the city wall.

The remaining artillery regiment was the division's howitzer regiment.

It has a total of four artillery battalions under its command.

Three of them were howitzer battalions equipped with M1938 122mm howitzers, with 12 guns in each battalion, for a total of 36 guns.

The remaining battalion was a reinforced heavy howitzer battalion.

It is equipped with the ML-20 152mm howitzer. As one of the main Soviet howitzers, its performance is still very excellent.

In particular, its range is 17 kilometers, which is considered to be relatively long among heavy howitzers of the same level.

This range is also achieved at the cost of weight, reaching 7.2 tons.

The American 155mm howitzer of the same level has a range of 15 kilometers and weighs only 5.8 tons.

However, this thing has not come out yet, and Jiang Hua still prefers the American M1 howitzer.

The number of this ML-20 howitzer equipment is 18.

The number of artillery pieces in the howitzer regiment also reached 54.

If the cannon regiment is strengthened, the number of artillery pieces with a caliber of 122 mm and above will reach 90.

If this firepower did not have a base to back it up, Jiang Hua really would not dare to organize it this way.

It's okay if the front line is short, but once the front line is extended, problems will easily arise.

However, the next combat range will be in the Northern Reservoir Province, so the firepower will naturally be as strong as possible.

The artillery has been organized, and the next step is the tank unit.

Currently, there are not many tank models to choose from.

Many tanks with excellent performance were born out of the Second World War.

For example, Tiger and Leopard, T-34, Xie Mantou, etc.

Therefore, it seems that the only medium tank that Jiang Hua can choose for this tank regiment is the early model of the Panzer IV tank - Type D.

As for the Russian medium tanks...they were not very serious before the T-34 appeared.

The combat weight of this Type IV D tank reaches 20 tons, and its artillery uses a short-barreled 75mm gun, which is more than enough to deal with warlords.

As for armor protection, it is a 20-ton medium tank.

For the ancient country that currently lacks anti-tank weapons and anti-tank tactics, it is invincible.

This tank regiment has a total of two medium tank battalions and one light tank battalion, each equipped with 24 tanks.

Therefore, the number of Type 48D tanks equipped was .

As for light tanks, it did not choose the German tanks of the same system, but chose the Soviet BT-7 fast tank.

As for maintenance and logistics issues, they will not be prominent when the scale is small.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for a tank regiment to have two systems of tanks.

The BT-7 fast tank was definitely an excellent light tank in the early stages of World War II.

Its biggest advantage is its maneuverability, with a maximum speed of over 70 kilometers per hour.

Although its armor protection capability is not strong, it is still difficult to destroy it without anti-tank weapons.

The tank regiment's light tank battalion is equipped with 24 BT-7 fast tanks.

As for the idea of assigning a light tank company to the infantry regiment, Jiang Hua suppressed it.

At present, the ancient country does not have a decent tank unit except the Saibei Army.

Therefore, the main task of this tank regiment is to infiltrate, assault and cover infantry operations, and there is no need for tank combat.

Generally, they are disassembled for use.

At this time, it would be unnecessary to assign a tank company to each regiment, which would be a waste.

With this configuration, the First Division of the Red Alert Corps was formed.

Next, you just need to continue to replenish troops and equipment within this framework.

He only needs half a month for the First Division to be combat-ready.

That was also the time when he recovered the entire Beire Province and ended the warlords' infighting in the province.

Jiang Hua caused quite a stir in Chishan County.

After all, his identity is somewhat special in the Northern Frontier.

Prime Minister Yuan Shicheng and Jinyuan Governor Fu Changqing both received the news one after another.

Fu Changqing was still a little surprised when he saw Jiang Hua actually appeared in Chishan County, Beire Province, and occupied the land of two counties.

Less than a year had passed, and they had already formed an army.

If he is allowed to grow up, he will definitely be a threat.

You should know that the Guiyuan Province and Yanbei Province that he now occupies were originally the territories of his Jiang family.

Once Jiang Hua's troops become powerful, they will definitely attack the neighboring Yanbei Province.

So now Fu Changqing wants to kill Jiang Hua.

Moreover, since he sent troops to Beire Province, Yuan Shicheng, as the prime minister, should have turned a blind eye.

After all, Jiang Hua is also a threat to him.

"Record the order and mobilize the 72nd Division to Yanbei Province. Contact the forces throughout Beire Province. This time, we must eliminate this Jiang family brat."

Fu Changqing narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

There was another reason why he was so anxious to send troops, that was that the Guiyuan Army he had incorporated had caused a commotion when they learned that Jiang Hua, the only son of the Jiang family, was still alive.

Some people even wanted to go to Beire Province to rescue Jiang Hua.

Although Fu Changqing killed a group of people, these former Guiyuan soldiers still had hope.

Only when Jiang Hua disappears completely and he clears out a group of people, can the Guiyuan Army truly become his.

The Prime Minister's Office is located on the shore of a lake in Shangjing and covers a large area.

Most of the central institutions of the Northern Frontier court are located in the Prime Minister's Office.

As for the little emperor? He was still trapped in the palace that was like a cage.

Yuan Shicheng was the only voice in the entire Northern Frontier court.

Yuan Shicheng only took a glance at what was happening in Beire Province, then snorted softly, "It's unlikely they'll become anything great, and they won't pose a threat. We don't even need to do anything, Fu Changqing will be unable to resist taking action. We just need to keep an eye on him."

After occupying Guiyuan and Yanbei provinces, Fu Changqing's strength has greatly improved, and now he is a little disobedient.

It was obvious that he had the ambition to establish his own faction.

Yuan Shicheng actually hoped that Jiang Hua could be more powerful, and it would be best if he could fight with Fu Changqing to a draw.

In this way, he can reap the benefits and get rid of the disobedient Fu Changqing.

So he didn't take any action regarding Jiang Hua's news.

Jiang Hua was unaware of Fu Changqing's actions.

Even if Fu Changqing sent troops to Beire, it would not pose a threat to him.

The reason is also very simple.

Although Yanbei is adjacent to Beire Province, the Daxingling Mountains lie between the two provinces.

So although the two provinces are adjacent, there is only one provincial road connecting the two provinces in the northern region.

Jiang Hua only needs to send a battalion to defend this place and prevent Fu Changqing's troops from entering Beire Province.

As for the connecting passages in the south, there are several.

But now his focus is on the northern region. He will first solve the worries in the north and then solve the problems in the southern region.

Even if Fu Changqing joined in at that time, he would not be able to stop his army.

During the formation of the Red Alert First Division, Zhuang Hua, who was promoted to the commander of the new First Division, was also planning an operational plan with Chief of Staff Jiang Tianming to recapture the northern counties of Beire Province.

The northern part of Beire Province belongs to the Saibei Plain area.

Because of this, there are not only warlords occupying various counties and fighting each other, but also horse bandits who have become powerful. It can be said that this is a place where good and bad people mix together.

Among these warlords, the most powerful was Han Yi, who occupied parts of Guyu County and Dongsui County.

He has more than 6,000 men under his command, including three cavalry regiments, one infantry regiment and a guard battalion.

According to the intelligence gathered, there seems to be the shadow of the Saibei Army behind Han Yi.

As long as Han Yi is defeated, the remaining warlords and bandits will not be able to do anything.
