Chapter 233
The Composite Infantry Division actually decentralizes the combined group army of various arms to the division level.
Zhang Xueming even wanted to delegate directly to the brigade and battalion level before.
Directly in one step, engage in a division to change brigade.
However, with the current technical conditions, it is not possible for the time being.
This kind of preparation has very high requirements for informatization, and it also needs a large number of informatization equipment to assist.
However, the Synthetic Infantry Division is a completely new formation.
So at the beginning, only the pilot will be carried out.
When it is determined that it is feasible, it will be rolled out throughout the army.
However, synthetic infantry divisions also have a difference in weight.
Heavy Synthetic Infantry Divisions use tracked armored vehicles as their main combat weapons.
Belongs to heavy assault forces.
There is no distinction between armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions.
Instead, it combines the two types of programming.
It consists of multiple combat units.
Columns include headquarters, infantry brigades, tank brigades, artillery brigades, air defense brigades, and army aviation brigades.
It also consists of various support units, such as communications, logistics support, intelligence collection and information processing.
Under such a configuration.
This heavy synthesizer will have comprehensive mobility, firepower, range, information, and other advantages.
Able to exert very powerful combat power.
And in terms of strength, it is also much more than the current infantry divisions.
Basically, a division is almost as large as 30,000 or 40,000 people.
A division has the ability to fight a small to medium battle.
This can also be regarded as a convenient expansion.
Among them, the headquarters is larger than before, and there are more institutions.
Because the number of various electronic devices equipped is also more.
This includes miniaturized transistor computers.
The increase in electronic equipment is also a major change in the command.
Not only is intelligence gathering faster, but all levels of processing, response, and command are also more efficient.
The combat units include two infantry brigades, an armored brigade, an artillery brigade, an air defense brigade, and an army aviation brigade.
The mechanized infantry brigade also has three mechanized infantry battalions and one tank battalion.
The three brigades are a total of 9 infantry battalions and 3 tank battalions.
There are more than 10,000 people here.
The armoured brigade had a total of three tank battalions.
Counting the tank battalions of the mechanized infantry brigade, the number reached 6.
Each battalion is armed with 54 T-58 tanks.
Among them, there were two battalion headquarters and four tank companies of 14 each.
Six tank battalions is 348 vehicles.
In terms of scale, it is already completely no less than the number of tanks of a previous heavy armored division.
Nine mechanized infantry battalions, each totaling more than 400 armored vehicles of various types.
For example, tracked infantry fighting vehicles, tracked armored transporters, tracked armored reconnaissance vehicles, tracked armored command vehicles, etc.
The number of armored vehicles of various types alone amounted to nearly 4,000.
The artillery brigade has three battalions of 155-mm self-propelled howitzers, one battalion of self-propelled rocket artillery and one target search company.
A total of 72 155-mm howitzers, 27 127-mm self-propelled rocket launchers and 9 artillery reconnaissance drones are armed.
The air defense brigade has two self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalions, an anti-aircraft missile battalion and a vigilance radar company.
At present, the land aviation brigade is mainly based on the Wuzhi-38 and Zhi-20.
It has two attack helicopter battalions and one utility helicopter battalion.
It has a total of 42 Wuzhi-38 attack helicopters and 36 Zhi-20 utility helicopters.
That's all the combat units of the Heavy Composite Infantry Division.
In order to maintain this huge combat unit.
The scale of the logistics support unit is also very large, adding up to about 10,000 people.
For the logistics support, the army still attaches great importance to it.
After all, the ancestors said it very early.
The soldiers and horses did not move the food and grass first.
Therefore, the heavy synthetic division was equipped with a combat support brigade, a logistics support brigade.
Among them, the combat support brigade is not directly involved in the battle.
Instead, it is responsible for fuel support, repair, boat bridge, chemical protection, engineering, medical treatment, communications, diet, etc. of front-line combat units. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The logistics support brigade is responsible for repair, transportation and supply.
Although they are all logistics units, their respective areas of responsibility are different.
It was also these two logistics brigades that were responsible for the food, drink, housing, transportation, and battle of more than 30,000 people in the entire division.
The entire Composite Infantry Division consists of 8 brigades plus a sizeable divisional headquarters.
The strength of the entire division reached about 38,000 men.
This scale is already equivalent to the strength of an army of the great powers.
In the case of medium-sized synthesizers, the preparation is basically the same.
The number of tanks equipped was somewhat smaller, only the size of four tank battalions.
A total of 232 tanks were equipped.
The rest of the combat weapons are almost all extended on the basis of the large eight wheels.
Infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled transporters, assault guns, anti-tank missile launchers, wheeled self-propelled howitzers, command vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, engineering maintenance vehicles, ambulances, etc. are covered.
Among them, the main force of artillery is still mainly 155-mm vehicle-mounted howitzers.
Wheeled assault guns are supplemented.
However, in terms of troops, it is relatively small.
Just over 30,000 people.
This medium-sized synthetic division is basically equivalent to the rapid reaction force in the Huaxia Defense Force.
It has the characteristics of mobility, high speed, low cost, superior bearing capacity and strong self-protection ability.
All combat vehicles can be delivered remotely by the Y-12 tactical transport aircraft, as well as the Y-10 strategic transport aircraft.
The light synthetic division, that is, the lightly armed motorized rifle division, is also in the subsequent restructuring plan.
This light synthetic division would also become the workhorse of the Wehrmacht battle sequence.
Of course, this main force does not refer to combat effectiveness, but to scale.
However, this does not mean that their combat effectiveness will be weak.
On the contrary, after the restructuring, the combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.
At present, the pilot work of this restructuring is carried out in the First Army.
The pilot is expected to last about one year.
It is now 1938, and there is not much time left for Huaxia.
According to Zhang Xueming's vision.
Huaxia will not start entering until about 42 years.
So the time left for Zhang Xueming is only three or four years (good money).
It is necessary to complete the restructuring of 36 divisions and more than one million people in three or four years.
The pressure is still great.
Especially on military spending.
Therefore, this year's military spending in China is also relatively sufficient.
It accounts for about 15% of fiscal expenditure.
Although the increase of about 10% compared to previous years is not very large.
But that's 15 percent of the hundreds of billions of dollars.
This increase is not small.
Last year's fiscal revenue was 338 billion yuan.
15% is 50.7 billion.
The army side alone occupies half, that is, more than 20 billion regiments.
This military expenditure is also for the army to purchase new equipment, expand the army, and integrate the restructuring.
The Army, on its part, has begun to expand in anticipation of the outbreak of World War II.
The total strength of the Army is expected to expand to about 5 million in 40 years.
The Air Force, Navy and Strategic Forces will also undergo a large number of rearmaments and expansions.
