Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Ding Wei's prediction was correct. When their three armies returned to China, they were not only warmly welcomed as meritorious units, but Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others were also invited to give speeches everywhere.

However, Li Yunlong was not interested in this at all and pushed it to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

I found Ren Zhong myself, wanting to verify whether Ding Wei's idea was reliable and whether Brother Ren might have some new stuff.

I didn't expect it to exist.

When Ren Zhong saw Li Yunlong, he directly threw a book to him.

"Go back and finish reading this book. Come back to me when you have understood most of it. I don't have time to explain it to you. If you don't understand something, you should communicate more with Ding Wei. Each of you three has a copy of this book." Ren Zhong simply sent Li Yunlong away. His time was precious now. The battle on the peninsula verified many new ideas, but also exposed some problems.

In the research of weapons, we must naturally focus on the new situations and new needs of the troops.

At this stage, the weapons that Ren Zhong has equipped the front line with are basically complete, and they have advantages against the Rogue Eagle.

However, the current troop configuration is not yet Ren Zhong's ideal one. He knows that a future trend is synthesis, so he first worked out the synthesis tactics and gave it to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei to study and see if it can be done at this stage.

Form a synthetic demonstration team through current conditions and explore the future development path of the army.

"The Army's integrated development tactics?" Li Yunlong took a look at the cover of a tutorial on the Army's integrated tactics exercise recently provided by Ren Zhong, and his mind was full of questions.

But he has learned to be smart now. After getting the book, he studies it first and then asks questions.

After studying for such a long period of time, Lao Li has made up for his shortcomings in cultural subjects and has no major problems with reading. He keeps a dictionary next to him and when he comes across a word he doesn't know, he looks it up in the dictionary and quickly finishes the book of more than 100 pages.

The words are few, but the matter is big.

Originally, Li Yunlong felt that it was good enough to equip the division-level unit with a tank battalion, but in a combined force, it is required to have tank power at the battalion level!

What kind of family is this? The battalion is equipped with a tank company and an armored company. How much money would it cost to equip this battalion?

Not to mention Longguo, even the Rogue Eagles don’t have such a luxurious camp. At most, they have equipped the tank company to the regiment level.

However, after witnessing the power of the coordinated operations of tanks and vehicle-mounted anti-artillery rocket launchers, Li Yunlong could imagine the impact capability of this battalion-level combat force on the front line.

It can be said that if used for charging into battle, such a combined battalion is much more powerful than a pure infantry brigade.

If the artillery is in the back, the tanks advance, the armored vehicles and infantry follow, and the anti-artillery rockets coordinate, as long as there is no shortage of ammunition, a combined battalion can easily attack a brigade position.

The only drawback is that it is too expensive. The equipment costs money, and it consumes a lot of fuel and ammunition, because this fully mechanized and armored force requires only steel monsters.

According to the standard synthetic battalion, it needs 2 tank companies, 3 light armored companies as assault forces, plus a vehicle-mounted 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher company, a reconnaissance company and a support company. There are a total of eight company-level configuration units.

Such a battalion-level force, in terms of firepower, is much stronger than a current Class A regiment, and even compared to a division-level force, it is not much different. Ren Zhong's idea is simply terrifying, which is equivalent to strengthening the battalion-level to a basic tactical unit that can undertake full-scale combat. However, in this way, the demand for mechanical equipment has increased too much, but the demand for manpower has been greatly reduced.

A tank company has 14 tanks and a combat team of only 56 people. Each tank has only the tank commander, observer, gunner, and machine gunner. The armored company has 10 light armored vehicles, each with 12 people, a total of 120 people in the company, plus the vehicle-mounted self-propelled rocket launcher company has 6 122mm 12-tube rocket launchers, each with 5 members.

The reconnaissance company and the support company are also fully mechanized, consisting of trucks, jeeps and armored vehicles, with a total of nearly 300 people. The entire combined battalion has a strength of more than 800 people. The manpower is not large, less than a small regiment, but the combat effectiveness is amazing, much stronger than a Type A regiment of more than 3000 people.

Because it has a vehicle-mounted self-propelled rocket launcher company and an artillery fire control radar vehicle, such a synthetic battalion also has strong anti-artillery capabilities and can be said to be an all-rounder on the battlefield.

On the basis of the combined battalion, the combined brigade organization provided by Ren Zhong is really terrifying, with four combined battalions of amazing combat power crammed into the brigade level! This alone surpasses the combat power of the current division level.

Built around the independent combat capability of the combined brigade, it has incorporated five auxiliary units, including one support battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, one air defense battalion, one combat support battalion, and one artillery battalion, forming a nine-battalion organization. Although there seems to be no difference in organization from the early brigade-level three regiments and nine battalions, there is actually a world of difference.

The artillery battalion is equipped with the 105mm truck-mounted gun that is currently being specially researched. Li Yunlong has never seen such highly mobile artillery before.

In this way, after the 122mm rocket launcher was transferred to the combined battalion, the brigade-level artillery was unified into a new 105mm truck-mounted gun.

According to this configuration, a combined brigade has 8 tank companies and 112 tanks. Compared with the current division-level tank battalion with only 30 tanks, the strength is completely on a different level and has surpassed the tank configuration of an army.

In addition to tanks, there are 20 armored vehicles equipped with 120mm dual-purpose machine guns, which allow the infantry to truly accompany the tanks in action. Two tank battalions and three armored companies constitute the core combat power of the combined brigade, in conjunction with an artillery battalion with 2 3mm truck-mounted guns and 18 vehicle-mounted 105-barrel 24mm rocket launchers, which is equivalent to 9 large-caliber artillery pieces!
The cleaning ability can be said to be no less than that of the current demonstration army.

The air defense battalion is equipped with four sets of the current first-generation infrared-guided air defense missile Hongqi-1 combat team units, and 4 twin-barrel 12mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. In terms of local air defense, they are very lethal to current propeller bombers. Basically, the integrated air defense system composed of air defense missiles and anti-aircraft guns has a first-round hit probability of more than 40% at 6-8 kilometers.

Due to the outstanding performance of the aerial three-wheeled vehicles in the Han River surprise attack, the reconnaissance battalion of the combined brigade is now equipped with a reconnaissance platoon of 12 aerial three-wheeled vehicles, which are specifically used for air infiltration, allowing the combined brigade to have a small amount of air assault capability before the helicopters come out.

Even though this is insignificant in the main world, it is not even on the same order of magnitude compared to an armed helicopter squadron. You have to know that this was in the 50s, and this was already the limit of what Ren Zhong could do.

The current combined brigade, after a new combination, is fully mechanized and can move and fight at any time. Combined with the detection capability of the artillery radar, it can locate the enemy's artillery attack within tens of seconds and launch a counterattack. In this way, if it is a single army confrontation, the combined brigade can almost independently complete the functions of attack, defense and rapid long-range maneuver.

The support battalion is composed of three truck companies and one machine repair company, with 3 large trucks used for food and ammunition transportation, as well as on-site repair and maintenance of mechanical equipment for the entire brigade, which has greatly enhanced the equipment availability rate of the combined brigade.

After reading Ren Zhong's new idea, Li Yunlong couldn't help but be impressed by his boldness. Frankly speaking, this was really too advanced.

In today's large-scale troop tactics, it completely breaks the limits of everyone's imagination. However, as a senior commander of actual combat, Li Yunlong has to say that if he has such a synthetic brigade, the combat effectiveness of his 16th Army will more than double, and it can achieve the effect of 1+1>3.

According to Li Yunlong's understanding, with a large military group coordinated with such a spearhead, it would not be too difficult for his army to break through the two divisions of the Rogue Eagle. Therefore, even if there is no way to realize the synthetic brigade structure of the entire army now, if one more synthetic brigade is added to an army and one reorganized division is reduced, and it is reorganized into a structure of 2 divisions and 2 brigade, the combat effectiveness will still be much stronger than it is now.

Perhaps this is also a consideration of Ren Zhong. It is obviously unrealistic to fully realize the combined brigade at the current stage, but it is not a big problem to set up three brigades for a pilot project and let Li Yunlong's most capable troops try out the effects.
