#354 - Re-adapt
After being reorganized, Li Yunlong and his units, along with the newly arrived tank battalion, had completely replaced their M3 tanks. Now, they had a mixed formation of 2 Dragon I tanks and T-34 tanks, while the M3 tank company was strengthened to a regimental-level establishment, giving each regiment its own armored company. This meant each division effectively had two tank battalions.
This was another significant change based on the actual situation of the peninsula's 'Rogue Eagle' infantry division.
The alternate-space modified version of the T-59D (Dragon Tank I)
While enhancing armor capabilities, the new pilot program also strengthened anti-armor capabilities. The latest small-scale production model, the WP-82 recoilless gun, was equipped with multi-purpose ammunition, including extended-range armor-piercing rounds, fragmentation rounds, incendiary rounds, and the devastating thermobaric rounds.
In terms of armor penetration, the extended-range armor-piercing round had a direct-fire range of 484 meters (529.31 yards), a maximum velocity of 260 meters per second (853.02 feet per second), and an armor penetration capability of 150mm at 65 degrees, with a vertical penetration thickness of up to 354.9mm. This meant that within a 500-meter range, the WP-82 recoilless gun already possessed the ability to deal with the 'Rogue Eagle's' latest heavy tanks.
Additionally, for infantry damage, the equipped fragmentation round was used to kill exposed enemy personnel, with an initial velocity of 200 meters per second (656.17 feet per second) and an effective range of 2,000 meters (2,187.23 yards). The dense kill radius was no less than 20 meters (21.87 yards). Thus, the WP-82 recoilless gun effectively replaced the role of RPG rocket launchers and mortars.
It seemed perfect, but the current WP-82 had a fatal weakness: its weight. The entire gun weighed a staggering 34 kilograms! As a result, the Dawn Artillery Research Institute had to prepare a jeep-mounted carrier for the WP-82 recoilless gun, which limited the application range of this new weapon.
However, equipping each battalion with two WP-82 recoilless gun jeeps greatly enhanced the entire infantry battalion's anti-armor capabilities.
In certain terrains, this anti-tank capability of the infantry battalion might produce miraculous results.
The third change was the addition of an artillery radar to each artillery division. Now, the new artillery radar, using the raw materials and new single-board design provided by Ren Zhong's cheat-like abilities, could be concentrated on a jeep. This allowed the artillery radar to move with the artillery, providing precise locations of enemy artillery fire at any time.
In the first phase of the campaign, the artillery duel did not give Li Yunlong and his men any advantage. The 'Rogue Eagle's' artillery were all veterans of the battlefield. The artillery contest between the two sides was almost evenly matched.
Of course, with Wang Chengzhu, a man with natural cheat-like abilities, in Li Yunlong's army, the artillery gained a slight advantage, almost preserving the mobile rocket launchers. This allowed them to gain a slight advantage in the fierce firepower confrontation and completely annihilate the 24th Division!
Now, with this magical device for detecting artillery positions, the enemy artillery's location could be relayed in less than 30 seconds after the enemy fired, meaning even enemy mortars could now be quickly countered and eliminated!
With these three new weapons, the fully replenished 16th, 17th, and 18th Armies once again crossed the Yalu River with high morale!
Their new mission was to contribute a grand New Year's gift to the people of the motherland as the New Year approached!
Headquarters.
"When will Li Yunlong and his men arrive at the front line?" the commander at headquarters asked, looking at the map.
"Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's units will arrive at the Anzhou front line by tomorrow evening at the latest, while Kong Jie's unit will enter the Daqing area," the brigade commander replied.
"So, we don't need to change the time of the general offensive tomorrow morning?" the commander at headquarters said.
"No need. The three fresh troops arriving overnight will be a complete surprise to the opposing coalition forces," the brigade commander said with a smile. "They would never dream that we would launch a new offensive so quickly. This time, we are concentrating two armies with 200 heavy artillery pieces and over 600 artillery pieces on the eastern front, and three armies with over 300 heavy artillery pieces and over 1,000 artillery pieces on the western front, launching simultaneous attacks. Such powerful firepower is the first large-scale use of artillery in our army's history. To this end, the logistics department has prepared for nearly a month to send the ammunition for this campaign to the front lines."
"The ammunition consumed in this campaign is almost equivalent to a year of fighting the Japanese devils back then. Modern warfare is all about logistics, and there is no mistake in that statement. We are fortunate to have that man, which is why we have such powerful firepower output today. In a way, we are all beneficiaries of that man," the commander at headquarters suddenly said with emotion.
"Not only ammunition, but it is said that that man has prepared new things for Li Yunlong and his men this time. I don't know what luck Li Yunlong has, but good things always come to them first," the brigade commander said with a smile. "The armor reinforcement of tanks is very necessary. Our armored strength per 10,000 people is still relatively weak. According to that man's saying, in modern warfare, the first battle is in the air, and solving the problem depends on the charge of artillery and tanks! Judging from the situation in the first campaign, it is indeed good. We are fully supporting the air force's decisive battle according to this strategy, and the effect is very good. The reason why our logistics have not collapsed is that the damage to railways and highways is almost negligible!"
"It is because of this that our logistics can keep up with the needs of the front lines, so that our front lines will not be defeated due to insufficient ammunition."
When the two men spoke of these things, they could not help but think of that man's figure.
Indeed, if it weren't for him, the current situation would be much more delicate.
Not to mention weapons, but the point of keeping warm alone is enough to give them a headache. Now the northern part of the peninsula is full of ice and snow, so cold that the local natives dare not go out and start hibernation.
But for the volunteer soldiers, they have no winter or spring. As long as the soldiers point, they must kill without hesitation.
With millions of down jackets produced urgently in China to keep out the cold, although the field is freezing cold, water drips into ice, but for the soldiers, it is just that their faces are colder, and the down jackets are on their bodies, and they generally feel that there is no big problem, at least there will be no large-scale frostbite and frostbite.
This is to solve a big problem. You must know that if there is no such batch of down jackets, relying on the thin cotton clothes originally distributed to the soldiers, I am afraid that before the war, there will be no few frostbite and frostbite casualties.
The brigade commander and others summed up the experience and lessons after the first battle, and they were frightened by a cold sweat. The natural environment temperature of the front-line troops is generally lower than the previous expectations, the so-called experience of similar to the northeast climate, really according to this expectation to prepare cold clothes, you have to let everyone suffer a big loss!
Fortunately, all the omissions were made up in advance.
Now that a new campaign is about to be launched, the brigade commander, as the main planner, must of course have a comprehensive and specific grasp of the troops.
The latest novel is first published at 6/9 book bar!
The brigade commander will not ignore the new equipment of Li Yunlong and others.
"We are not as good as that man in terms of the configuration of the troops' weapons and equipment. On this point, we should boldly try according to the ideas of experts," the commander at headquarters nodded and said, "Have you emphasized the goals for this time to Li Yunlong and the others?"
"Commander, don't worry. After the baptism of the first campaign, Li Yunlong and the others are very clear that modern warfare is a system, not a single link. They will not easily break what we have planned."
First, ask for a monthly pass
