Chapter 1608 Heavy Armored Division
Shi Lei was always wary of Stalin. The 500,000 army was trained according to China. After all, the basic qualities and abilities of soldiers were similar everywhere. He only used weapons from Russia and Japan. In terms of artillery, there was some difference from the Chinese army. It was at least one fifth or one tenth of the Chinese army. An enemy army equivalent to 100,000 or 50,000 regular field army, in the hinterland of China, once a problem arises, it is a big problem. If he wanders around, it will be a great harm to China. Even if there are many fast-resistance troops in China, it is not easy to destroy them.
To this end, Shi Lei suggested that the Russian settlement area that was originally concentrated in the three cities was converted into 12 cities. The cities have recently been more than 1,000 kilometers. The troops in each city cannot exceed 50,000, and the surrounding areas are also powerful areas of China. In this way, even if anything happens, it can be solved. In addition, the Intelligence Bureau has also arranged a lot of spies to almost surveillance the Russian area to prevent them from suddenly moving.
Although Yang Yuanzhao said that there is no need to worry, Shi Lei still did this. In the future, when the Bolsheviks take over the sovereignty of the entire Russia, they will become enemies. Under the capitalist world, a communism is so obvious. This is an ideological problem. China has won Russia's 7 million square kilometers of Siberia. What will happen in the future? It is really unknown. If you really need to train well, if you have the same standard as Japan, it is China who is unlucky. Although China may not be afraid, Shi Lei dares not take risks. What if the worst move really occurs?
Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that the Soviet Union was not that strong when it was just established. When the Soviet Union was just established, the Soviet Red Army was almost in ruins, resisting the interference of major powers in the world. Although this was the premise that most of the strength of the great powers were weakened after the end of World War I, this was already amazing enough. This is also a terrifying place for communism. After a little bit, it can transform from a soft-legged shrimp into a faithful and powerful elite force. This power that turned decay into a magical one has always been an incredible place for the Soviet Union and even China.
Yang Yuanzhao did not argue with Shi Lei's care. Shi Lei is an intelligence officer and focuses more on the intelligence field. He didn't know that China has begun to gradually compress the army's organization and lean more towards the navy and the air force. China is currently basically the world's number one in the military field and the army and air force field. In this regard, it is not afraid of any challenges. Although the army has reduced its organization, it has added technical equipment. For example, the First Army has reorganized 5 heavy armored divisions.
The Heavy Armored Division is a heavy organization currently explored by China. It has 1 division headquarters and division company, 2 armored brigade brigade and brigade companies (with 8 heavy tank battalions in total), 1 mechanics brigade and brigade company (with 4 mechanics and infantry battalions), 1 engineering brigade, 1 air defense artillery battalion, 1 military intelligence battalion, 1 communication battalion, and 1 division artillery headquarters (with 3 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalion and 1 227mm multi-barrel rocket artillery company).
This is a powerful force. The entire division has only 21,000 personnel, which is slightly lower than the regular field army. However, its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. It has 438 heavy tanks with full tracks (more than 55 tons, fully armored, 110mm smoothbore guns and new armor-piercing bombs), as well as infantry fighting vehicles, a total of more than 500 light support tanks, 280 crawler personnel transport vehicles, 200 crawler command vehicles, and 190 armored track construction vehicles. The entire division has more than 3,000 armored vehicles of all sizes, almost completely armored.
Such a division is powerful, even in the Chinese field army, it can fight more than one and three, because it is fully steel-based armed forces, and the average minimum speed can reach more than 35-40 kilometers in the field area and 70 kilometers on the road. It has extremely strong assault capabilities. It can leaps forward 1,200 kilometers to 1,500 kilometers in three days without any supplies, which is completely unimaginable in ordinary land warfare.
The attack power of such a division is also quite powerful. 110mm armor-piercing bombs can provide sufficient support for firepower. Even ordinary infantry fighting vehicles have 60mm artillery. Although they cannot be compared with 110mm, their attack power is also powerful.
It’s just that it’s too expensive to form such a unit. Not to mention other weapons, just from the vehicles, 3,000 armored vehicles are at least 120,000 tons of steel. The steel used to form such a division is at least 4 times that of ordinary field troops, not to mention the price of equipment, which is almost 6 times. Even if China is rich and powerful, it has only formed 20 units, 5 of which are in the most powerful First Army.
Yang Yuanzhao knew that this was the mainstream of the future. Armored motorcycle staggering will run through the system of China's military construction. In the future, the main field army will change. An army must have at least 2 heavy armored divisions, three motorcycle staggering divisions and 2 supplementary divisions. In this way, the army can achieve 2 times or even 3 times of combat effectiveness. The streamlined personnel will lean towards the air force and navy, and use more professional and more combative troops to replace the previous human sea tactics, reduce casualties and improve combat effectiveness.
Yang Yuanzhao understood that China's combat effectiveness was far from being able to resist the newly established Soviet Union. In history, the establishment of the Soviet Union was full of luck. Britain, France and Germany were greatly weakened by World War I. Japan, which was not weakened, was not a little bit worse than Britain, France and Germany. In this way, Japan occupied most of the Far East and almost allowed the Soviet Union to sign the underworld alliance. The Soviet Union's strength was more due to the cooperation with the Soviet Union after World War I. In order to gain the opportunity to develop military industry, Germany cooperated with the Soviet Union, and in 1929, the era of economic crisis.
, The large amount of advanced manpower and machinery obtained from the capitalist world, before, their battles were more about human sea tactics. Relying on faith and the spirit of not fearing sacrifice, they forced the Japanese to go into the sea with sacrifice. Ordinary troops, after the war loss exceeds 30%, their morale will drop greatly and collapse after the war loss exceeds 70%. However, the Soviet army had more than 90%, and even on a position with only one person, they could still fight to the death without retreating. This is not something that ordinary troops could achieve.
The most terrifying thing is that this is a common feature. Even troops without professional training can do this. This is also the fundamental reason why the Soviet Union suffered huge damage in the early days of World War II, but it can still withstand it. The ability to mobilize war is the key, but when Russia mobilizes, its strength has been greatly weakened. The Soviet Union cannot violate objective laws and will also weaken a little, but it will not affect the overall situation. At least at a level, so that it can defeat the arrogant Hitler.
However, this kind of sacrifice has no effect in the face of China, which has completed the improvement of generation difference. China already has a World War II-level armored cluster. Without sufficient air power, this armored force is almost invincible. The Soviet Union resisted the German armored torrent in World War II, relying on not only the strength of the T34, but also the heroic Soviet Air Force. Now Russia and other countries in the world have not noticed armor and aircraft at all, so how can it resist the heavy tank division with armor and air force advantages?
Not to mention the full action of the five heavy armored divisions of the First Army, just one is enough to penetrate all positions in the world, with a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour, a weight of 55 tons, inclined armor and advanced armored steel. In this world, artillery below 300 mm cannot penetrate the front armor of heavy tanks. As for cluster bombs and tank trenches, it goes without saying that China's omnipresent reconnaissance ability cannot miss the tank trenches, and self-defense machine guns can make any infantry nearby be beaten into sieves.
Yang Yuanzhao did not stop Shi Lei's actions. After all, Shi Lei had good intentions. God knows what the Soviet Union would develop into. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are. If you really have strong equipment from Russia, China will suffer losses. For Russia and Japan, these are completely different concepts. At least we cannot over-strength Russia.
Now that this kind of thing has finally come to an end, Germany has begun to launch, so we can also act here. Stalin's armed forces, plus the Bolsheviks, can enter Russia to fight, and Chinese knowledge gives some support. When the armed forces are lost and there are only manpower left in the country, China can disperse them in various ways. In fact, most of the Russians have been scattered. There are only about 7 million Russians in the 12 cities that are currently living in, and the rest have been scattered across China.
Historically, in the early days of the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks did not control sovereignty. In the entire history of Russia, too many similar things happened, such as the October Revolution, Stalin came to power, and the later disintegration of Russia. Many coups and actions have a sense of inexplicable and house-playing. Even the revolution organized by the Tongmenghui was not considered a revolution. As an example, the Workers and Peasants Soviets achieved revolutionary victory, and the Russian regime was actually a coalition government composed of great nobles and big merchants. Various revolutionary parties only occupied unimportant seats in the government.
However, it is also because of this that the Bolsheviks, who did not occupy the main position, advocated continuous revolution, and then continued to participate in the European war with the Provisional Government, which made the war-weary mentality of a large number of soldiers finally win the October Revolution. It is really funny to be taken down in such a regime. If such luck does not come, the establishment of the Soviet Union may be extended and will not affect China at least. (To be continued.)
