Operation is not only a major event for the Army, but also a major event for the 54th Army, and the top priority of the...

In 20199, the 54th Army moved more than 2 kilometers long distance, participated in the old war and the Vietnam War, fought side by side with the 27th Army, and became one of the three main forces on the battlefield (the other one was the Airborne Army). After the war, many officers and soldiers were commended and promoted.

Li Wen, who was already the deputy platoon leader of the second lieutenant, was very unfortunate. He suddenly suffered from acute appendicitis the night before the army was old. When he was discharged from the hospital after the operation, the war had ended and he didn't even get some leftover soup.

For five years, Li Wen has been resentful.

He joined the army at the same time as him and participated in the old war and Vietnam War, at least he is a captain company commander. Nearly half of them have become the major deputy battalion commander and the lieutenant colonel battalion commander, and several have become the colonel deputy brigade commander. If it weren't for the service years of the second lieutenant two years ago and the platoon leader was promoted to the deputy company commander, Li Wen would probably be the second lieutenant deputy platoon commander.

What is the purpose of joining the army?

Defending the country is a big pursuit, and returning home in glory is a small pursuit.

If it weren't for honor and merit, Li Wen would have chosen several prestigious universities when filling out his college entrance examination application. He would not have put the Shijiazhuang Army Academy, which is called the "cradle of the Republic's Army Armored Soldiers" by the outside world in the early admissions approval, nor would he become the deputy platoon leader of the 1st Company of the 554111th Armored Battalion. Now he is the platoon leader.

He has been in the army for almost 7 years and has only become a platoon leader. Li Wen has no face to go home to visit his relatives.

Among his high school classmates, there are many "celebrities" such as senior managers of large companies, associate professors from famous universities, research researchers in scientific research institutions, deputy chief physicians of third-grade hospitals, and other "celebrities". He carried two "stars" back to attend the class reunion, either making things boring or embarrassing.

The troops moved from the Central Plains to the Northeast. Li Wen knew that the opportunity to make a name for himself was finally here.

More than a month after entering the prefecture of the North Korean camp, Li Wen must be the most active platoon leader in the entire battalion. In addition to pulling troops to carry out "intensive training" every day, he also went to the battalion headquarters every other day to ask when to join the war and ask to take the lead. Battalion Commander Ban Gucheng and Deputy Battalion Commander Xiao Dajian gave Li Wen face, because they were both Li Wendi classmates and Li Wendi comrades.

What Li Wen attaches most importance to is training.

As the first "heavy army" of the Republic's comprehensive replacement ground, the 54th Army began to equip various new electric equipment as early as 2022. The 54111 Battalion is the "sharp knife battalion" of the entire army. Fortunately, it became the first armored battalion of the Republic's Army fully equipped with all electric main combat weapons.

The 1st Company is a veritable ground tank company. It is equipped with a total of 17 DZ-211 fully electric main battle tanks.

Compared with the previous generation of the main battle tank of the Republic Army, i.e., the z-99c model. In addition to being equipped with a 17-gram 6-level composite battery and two superconducting motors with a rated power of 750 kilowatts and an overload output power of 1 kilowatts, there are also huge changes in other aspects.

The combat weight of the dz-21 is 54~: The walking system is composed of 7 pairs of small-diameter load-bearing wheels equipped with hydraulic suspension systems, 3 pairs of pulleys and high-strength composite plate tracks; because the superconducting motor is set at the front end, the driving wheel is in front and the guide wheel is in the rear; the center of gravity of the tank is moved backward, providing more ideal protection for the three occupants placed side by side in the center of the vehicle body; the tank is equipped with a small superconducting motor to drive the turret when the main power is closed or damaged; using a hydraulic suspension system with a maximum stroke of 750 mm, the main gun can open fire between minus 15 and 25 degrees.

The main gun is 40 mm caliber, equipped with an automatic loading machine, and equipped with an ammunition (there are only 24 in the loading machine, and the other 18 are stored on the rear frames on both sides of the crew compartment, which require the occupants to load manually). The lean alloy shell-piercing armor-piercing bullet can penetrate 1 mm thick homogeneous rolled armor steel plate at 1,500 meters, and can easily penetrate 3,500 meters m11a2~front armor; in addition to using high explosion

In addition to grenades and armor-piercing bombs, anti-tank/helicopter gun can also be used to fire missiles against targets 0 kilometers away. A weapon remote control station is set up at the top of the unmanned turret, and generally a 127mm heavy machine gun is installed, and if necessary, a 35mm grenade launcher or a machine gun with a caliber of less than 30 mm can be installed. The coaxial weapon is a 762mm parallel machine gun, which is operated remotely by the commander or gunner.

The core of the fire control system is a wide-area search/~v bare system controlled by the commander and a two-way stable aiming system specially equipped for the commander. The 2 aiming systems are controlled by the central fire control computer and are connected to the grid. Generally, after the commander discovers the target, the commander is responsible for aiming and destroying the target; if necessary, the commander can surpass the commander and directly control the main gun or remote-controlled weapon station to destroy the target. Through the 6 double-poly "all-round battlefield information monitoring system" outside the tank, both the driver and the commander can monitor the surrounding environment without leaving the chariot; if necessary, the driver can also use a mechanical periscope to observe the surrounding situation.

Defense is a highlight of dz-211. In addition to the thickness of homogeneous armored steel equivalent to 1200 mm (equivalent to 1750 mm when used for armor-piercing bombs) front-facing ~>Composite armor can also be worn on key parts (for battlefield threats and combat tasks, the models and coverage range of reaction armor are divided into three levels: A, B and C. The total weight of Class A is 61 to tons, and the total weight of Class B is 58 ton:, C is 58 ton.

56 tons). In terms of active defense, the 8-"Explosion Reactive Active Interception" system set on the top of the turret is controlled by the 8-"Explosion Reactive Active Interception" system set around the turret and the vehicle body, and automatically intercepts anti-tank missiles and anti-tank rockets at flight speeds below 350 meters per second. Unfortunately, the active defense system cannot effectively intercept armor-piercing missiles and attack ammunition with flight speeds up to more than 000 meters per second.

It can be said that before the US military's m-x main battle tank was successfully developed, the dz-211 was the best main battle tank in the world.

Compared with Russia's T-95, Germany's "Leopard 3", Japan's 19 style, South Korea's K88| type, Britain's "Challenge 3" and France's "Fuxi" (the alternative model of "Leclerc" started to be developed in 20199), the dz-211 is at least 1 in power system, and at least 5 years ahead in firepower, fire control, protection and other performance.

However, the dz-211 is not the "ultimate main battle tank" of the Republic Army.

The dz-211 is just a transitional product, and it was originally planned to only equip one heavy army. When the Peninsula War was bound to break out, the army expanded its equipment by 5 times and purchased 2,000~ units for the six heavy army.

What the Republic Army really wants is the DZ-XX main battle tank being developed.

The main reasons for the inability to start production in time by dz-xx are still cost and technology, 12-level composite batteries, orbital electromagnetic guns (need to be equipped with a small number of 16-level composite batteries separately), intelligent fire control systems, ultra-high-strength alloy armor, all-round active defense systems and other subsystems are not only expensive, but many key technologies have not yet been broken through.

Even so, for tank soldiers like Li Wen, the dz-211 are the "invincible overlords" on the land battlefield.

The problem is that many tank soldiers are difficult to control advanced tanks that have become as sophisticated as fighter jets.

It has to be admitted that the quality of the officers and soldiers of the Republic's army needs to be improved urgently, especially their cultural qualities.

Compared with the main battle tanks of the z-99 series, the dz-211 not only centrally deploys three crew members in the safest middle of the vehicle body, but also uses a large number of electronic equipment. In terms of Li Wen's "car leader", the left side is the driver, the right side is the gunner, and in front is a tactical console with three 16-inch touch screens and 24 button knobs. There is 1 with 5 switches in the middle of the legs, just like a "weapon remote control operating lever" on the fighter's joystick, and a periscope eyepiece and tactical radio headset are hung above the head.

If you don’t understand the situation, you will think you are sitting in a large gaming console after getting in.

Starting from November 2022 until November 2024, the officers and soldiers of the 54th Army and local governments were learning "cultural knowledge".

In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, in 2023 and 2024, none of the officers and soldiers of the army asked to go home to visit relatives. They all mastered the operation and use methods of new equipment under the guidance of instructors of the Army Academy and the Armored Soldier Academy.

Training is naturally indispensable. In addition to eating, sleeping and studying, all the officers and soldiers of the army have been training.

Compared with the past, all-electric heavy equipment has a very prominent advantage. It does not have to care about how much fuel it will burn during training. The electricity provided by the "car-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" is not only sufficient, but also cheap. No matter how much it is used, it will not make the army logistics commander feel painful. However, the equipment wear and aging of parts are very serious. Not to mention, in two years of training, the fifth run-breaking track can be connected around the earth's equator for one and a half years!

As the platoon leader, Li Wen is not only responsible for his own ground train team, but also for the other train teams in the platoon.

On the morning of the 22nd, a combat mobilization order was issued.

Throughout the morning, Li Wen personally inspected the five tanks in the platoon, replaced the tracks, load-bearing wheels, gun barrels and other "vulnerable" equipment as required, and even ran a few laps on the training ground before lunch to confirm the status of the tank.

In the afternoon, the 54111th Battalion entered a state of combat readiness, and each platoon went to the battalion headquarters to collect the allocated materials.

After dinner, Li Wen led 5 tanks from the 1st company to drive out of the camp and headed to Ji'an. Their mission was to control the railway/highway bridge from Ji'an to North Korea to avoid "unexpected" situations.

On the night of the 22nd, the 54111th Battalion carried out the last supply operation on the offensive position.

As the vanguard of the 54th Army, the 54111th Battalion not only took the lead in North Korea, but also continued to conduct forward reconnaissance missions, advancing along the Manpu-Jiangjie highway/rail route on the right bank of the Tulu River, arrived at the Jiangjie before the US military, and then advanced towards Langlin east of the Jiangjie to complete the combat mission of cutting off the northward passage of the US 1st Marine Division.

But, this wait took more than 1 hour.

It was not until after 9 o'clock on the 23rd that it was confirmed that the 153rd Brigade had occupied the five elders and blocked the passage of the US Marines to retreat south that Pei Chengyi issued an order to advance to the troops stationed on the Sino-North Korea border.

At 9:11, the dz-211 main battle tank driven by Li Wen crossed the middle boundary of the bridge and entered North Korea.

The lieutenant platoon leader did not know that in addition to the special forces and airborne troops, he accidentally became the first officer to enter the Republic's ground forces in North Korea.

It is precisely because Li Wen was recorded in the history of the Republic Army. (To be continued,)
