How strong is our army’s heavy-duty synthetic brigade after the military reform?
How did the heavy guys of our army's heavy synthetic brigade suppress the Taiwanese army's " classic car "?
In early April, a heavy-duty combined brigade of our army conducted a multi-arms exercise, which attracted the attention of the Taiwanese media. They have been keen to compare the combat capabilities of the mainland's combined brigade with Taiwan's mechanized infantry brigade.
hopes to get some psychological comfort!
After seeing the tank and infantry combat vehicle combined exercises of the People's Liberation Army's heavy synthetic brigade, can you please let them wake up a little bit.
The 96A tank equipped by our army is the main assault force of our army's heavy synthetic brigade
Who are the "heavy guys" of our army's synthetic brigade
After the military reform, we carried out drastic reforms in the army's establishment system and firepower system. . The former motorized brigades and mechanized infantry brigades were replaced by synthetic brigades and synthetic battalions.
It can be said that the whole brigade is on the bus!
In the past, infantry battalions were only composed of infantry and accompanying artillery. If you wanted to get support from tanks and other firepower, it would take a long time and the process would be very cumbersome.
But things have changed a lot now.
Within the synthetic brigade, the synthetic battalion is used as the basis to modularize the previous infantry, artillery, engineering, air defense, reconnaissance and logistics support units and other forces.
And there are more and more "rich people" with excellent equipment!
Our army's 04A infantry fighting vehicles are rapidly assaulting.
The heavy synthetic brigade equipped with 99A tanks and 04A infantry fighting vehicles is a proper "rich"
Now, the synthetic battalion under our army's synthetic brigade has 2 tanks. Company and infantry can receive direct fire support from tanks at any time, and the firepower is greatly enhanced.
As long as the firepower point in the front hinders the infantry attack. The 125mm tank gun of the combined battalion can be named directly.
Our army's combined brigade has a total of four such combined battalions, each with two tank companies, for a total of 8 tank companies, equipped with a total of 112 main battle tanks.
The heavy-duty combined brigade currently deployed by our army in the south is mainly equipped with the 96A main battle tank and the new 5 light tank . The
96A main battle tank is a heavy-duty third-generation tank developed by our army on the basis of the 96 tank . Its main source of firepower is a 125mm smoothbore cannon . Has very strong attack ability.
also allows infantry to no longer worry about insufficient firepower.
04A infantry fighting vehicle's 100mm gun and 30mm machine gun combined firepower is powerful
Having said the tanks, as the core of the combined brigade's offense, what about the firepower of the infantry?
Now the infantry of the combined brigade no longer rely mainly on "one man, one gun and hand grenades " to fight in the past. The troop mobility relies on the traditional infantry in large trucks. They all ride on infantry combat vehicles that can move quickly and have armor protection. The car is gone. The
04A infantry fighting vehicle is such equipment. This type of infantry fighting vehicle has enhanced protection and maneuverability based on the Type 04 infantry fighting vehicle. The main firepower of the is a 100mm and 30mm parallel cannon.
can carry a 9-man armored infantry squad.
Our army's infantry squad , which is getting off the bus, is launching an attack. The core of the firepower of our infantry squad consists of the squad machine gun and the anti-tank rocket launcher . In the picture, you can see the equipment of the 120mm rocket launcher shooter and deputy shooter
This is It was something that was unthinkable before. What is the concept of 112 infantry fighting vehicles in the whole brigade? is equivalent to strengthening the infantry with 112 100mm guns and 112 30mm machine guns. gives the infantry big brother a heavy weapon. Guy.
This is something Taiwan’s self-guided tours cannot achieve!
This does not include other light and heavy equipment such as squad machine guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, sniper grenade launchers and mortars in the hands of infantrymen.
With the blessing of these "heavy guys", our army's heavy-duty combined brigade now has very strong maneuverability and attack capabilities.
The artillery is the god of war!
It seems that our military’s “fear of insufficient firepower” cannot be cured!
After talking about infantry and tanks, it’s time to turn to the traditional advantage of our army—artillery.
07 tracked 122mm self-propelled howitzer is mainly equipped with heavy-duty synthetic brigade artillery battalion howitzer company
Our army's artillery inherited the artillery doctrine of the Soviet Union. During the Anti-Japanese Liberation and War, our army placed great emphasis on the key role of artillery. In Liao During the first phase of the Shen campaign to attack Jinzhou, the Northeast Field Army assembled thousands of light and heavy artillery pieces of various calibers, broke through the outer fortifications in one fell swoop, extended fire and covered the infantry to break through the Jinzhou city defenses.
It can be said that the artillery brothers have made huge contributions.
Today's combined brigade establishment has considerable accompanying artillery and suppressive artillery!
In terms of accompanying artillery, the main equipment of our heavy synthetic brigade is the Type 05 120mm mortar, and each synthetic battalion is equipped with a mortar company.
05 type 120mm mortar is equipped with the artillery company of the synthetic battalion, which can provide direct fire support for the synthetic battalion.
This model of mortar replaces the previous 82mm mortar. The larger caliber means stronger firepower. It has a crawler chassis. It also allows the artillery to keep up with the impact of infantry and tanks. As long as necessary, it can directly provide fire reinforcements.
After talking about accompanying artillery, we have to talk about the suppression artillery of the combined brigade. . The suppression artillery of the combined brigade mainly comes from artillery. A variety of firearms from the camp.
Artillery Battalion is mainly equipped with Type 07 122mm howitzers, 122mm rocket launchers and Red Arrow 10 anti-tank missiles. It is divided into three howitzer companies, one rocket launcher company and one anti-tank missile company.
07 type 122mm howitzer is the main suppression artillery of the combined brigade. This type of artillery uses tracks as its chassis, which gives it good mobility and protection capabilities. After receiving the infantry's request for fire reinforcements, it can clear the infantry at any time. Fire barrier. Capable of striking a variety of soft and hard targets.
The 11-type crawler-mounted 122mm rocket launcher that is preparing for concentrated fire strikes. If fired in full salvo, 360 rockets can be launched to the target area in a short time
What should we do if the 122mm howitzer still cannot solve the problem?
The answer is definitely yes!
That is the famous rocket launcher . Our army has always been fond of rocket launchers. Speaking of rocket launchers, the most influential ones are the volunteer artillery during the Korean War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
During the Battle of Shangganling, our army concentrated its use of rocket launchers. When the US military was preparing to launch an attack on the main position of Shangganling, the volunteer rocket artillery regiment used a salvo to directly hit the US military's impact preparation position, killing and wounding the enemy on the spot. Hundreds of people.
To this day, our military still has a strong preference for rocket launchers.
Starting from "Katyusha" rocket launcher , our army has a special liking for rocket launchers.
The 11-type 122mm 40-tube rocket launcher of the heavy-duty synthetic brigade can complete coverage of the target and can be fired in single shots and salvos. shooting.
When facing a larger threat, after receiving the firepower request order from the infantry brothers, the nine guns of the 122mm rocket launcher can fire 360 rockets in a short time.
is enough to complete the destruction of the enemy target area.
Of course, the establishment of our army's heavy combined brigade is not just infantry, tanks and artillery. It also has the strength of other arms and technical support.
These comprehensive support vehicles are the basis for the combat capabilities of our heavy-duty combined brigade.
They mainly include air defense, reconnaissance, engineering, chemical defense and other arms. They also receive logistical support from other support units.
Overall, today's heavy-duty combined brigade of our army has reached the highest level in history in terms of firepower capabilities, protection and information capabilities. Looking at Asia and the world, such a combined brigade can go sideways.
Look at the equipment of the Taiwan Army’s Combined Brigade
You will know the ignorance of the Taiwan Army’s retired major general. He is really a frog in the well!
Compared with the People's Liberation Army's Army, Taiwan's Army has begun to learn from our People's Liberation Army in terms of organization. The People's Liberation Army Army In order to adapt to the reality of modernization, it has carried out drastic reforms and has reformed the Army towards the requirements of miniaturization, modularization and informatization. New types of synthetic camps and synthetic camps were established.
Our army's combined battalion brings the power of various arms of infantry, tank and artillery to the extreme.
The Taiwan military also learned from us and began to set up combined battalions under the armored brigade and mechanized infantry brigade.
After years of reform, the Taiwan Army can basically be divided into three categories. The first is the strike brigade, which includes armored brigades and mechanized infantry brigades. This is the core of the Taiwan Army. It relies on these 7 armored brigades and mechanized infantry brigades during operations. Travel on foot.
The second category is the infantry brigade. The main function of this type of unit is to train new recruits.
The third category is the aviation brigade, which is mainly equipped with armed helicopters and transport helicopters .
The M60A3 tank of the Taiwan Army is a typical second-generation tank, which has lagged behind the times.
Take the mechanized infantry brigade as an example. The Taiwanese army’s mechanized infantry brigade has three battalions, and the two battalions in the mechanized infantry brigade are assigned 1 A tank company + 2 machine-infantry companies, and another battalion has 2 tank companies + 1 machine-infantry company. The whole brigade has a total of 4 tank companies + 5 machine-infantry companies.
In terms of tanks, it is mainly equipped with M60A3 main battle tank . Speaking of M60A3, this is a typical second-generation main battle tank. It is a major improvement of the M60 series tanks and is equipped with a 105mm rifled tank gun.
Due to the limitations of the international environment, the equipment of the Taiwan Army can only be regarded as second-rate. The M60A3 tank has lagged behind the world's mainstream third-generation tanks! The firepower of
is far inferior to that of our 96A tank.
is not an equal-level opponent compared to the latest 99A tank we are equipped with.
Taiwan's self-developed Clouded Leopard fighting vehicle
The infantry fighting vehicle of Taiwan's mechanized infantry brigade is not much advanced.
is mainly equipped with wheeled armored personnel carriers and tracked armored personnel carriers . The wheeled type mainly refers to the "Clouded Leopard" armored vehicle, while the crawler type is mainly equipped with the CM-21 armored vehicle series.
The "Clouded Leopard" wheeled armored vehicle uses an 8-wheel chassis, which is similar to the Type 08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle equipped by our army. Mainly equipped with infantry companies of mechanized infantry brigades and armored brigades. The gap with us is relatively large in terms of firepower and information level. The prototype of the
CM-21 armored vehicle is the American M113 armored personnel carrier . CM-21 is divided into multiple models, and the basic model can carry a combat squad. The U.S. military no longer wants this type of model.
Because the car body is relatively light, its defense capability is very poor, and even 12.7mm machine gun bullets can directly penetrate it.
CM-21 is a typical light armored personnel carrier, which is not at the same level as our army's 04A infantry fighting vehicle.
The technical level of these two types of vehicles has lagged behind our army's main models by an era.
In terms of artillery, the main firearm of Taiwan’s mechanized infantry brigade and armored brigade artillery battalions is the imported American M109A5 self-propelled artillery.
The three artillery batteries under the artillery battalion are equipped with a total of 24 guns. The M109A5 self-propelled artillery has a caliber of 155mm and a range of 23.5 kilometers.
In terms of equipment quality and equipment scale, the People's Liberation Army's combined brigade can completely suppress the Taiwan Army's mechanized infantry and armored brigades.
Even if the Taiwan Army is equipped with M1A2T tanks in the future, our army still has enough countermeasures.
The Taiwan Army knows the strength gap with the People's Liberation Army Army and wants to buy some American-made weapons to embolden itself. Consider the US military's M1A2 tank as your own life-saving straw.
On July 9, 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced that the U.S. State Department had approved the sale of M1A2T main battle tanks to Taiwan. The total is about $2 billion.
To be fair, M1A2 is an excellent third-generation main battle tank, but the terrain in Taiwan is really not suitable for this kind of heavy tank .
Why does the People's Liberation Army Army place all its heavy tanks in the north and northwest, while the southern troops are equipped with slightly lighter 96A tanks and Type 15 tanks?
Here is just a brief comparison of the equipment of Taiwan's mechanized infantry brigade and the People's Liberation Army's combined brigade.
Our advantages can completely suppress Taiwan.
But please don’t ignore it!
Our army's new generation of long-range rocket launchers is tailor-made for the Taiwan Strait . It has been equipped with the artillery brigades of multiple armies in the eastern theater.
These seven mechanized infantry brigades and armored brigades of the Taiwan Army are not directly facing the landing of our troops. of combined brigade troops.
When the combined brigade fights, it will receive fire support from its superior level.
Each group army of the People's Liberation Army has an artillery brigade and an army aviation brigade. Take the artillery brigade on the eastern coast as an example, it is equipped with 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers and dozens of 300mm long-range rocket launchers.
As long as the combined brigade needs fire support, the Taiwan Army's mechanized infantry brigade and armored brigade will receive special attention immediately.
In addition, the combined brigade will also receive long-range support from the Air Force Air Force and the Strategic Rocket Force's "Dongfeng Express".
Our army’s new generation of fighter aircraft emphasizes multi-purpose combat capabilities and can complete fire strikes against ground targets
In the Sino-Russian “Western Joint-2021” exercise held in August 2021, the rapid strike capabilities and information of the Chinese Army’s medium-sized combined brigade The level of chemicalization shocked the Russian army.
is really thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi .
Major General Jin Yinan, a well-known military expert and professor at the National Defense University, said in an interview with the media after observing that the exercise left a very deep impression on him. He said that he himself had seen earth-shaking changes have taken place in the People's Liberation Army. The troops' firepower entered from at least seven levels. It was simply spectacular!
This was simply unthinkable before!
These so-called professionals in Taiwan should think clearly about this! Otherwise, they are the only ones who will suffer!
