After leaving the office building of the Joint Law Enforcement Bureau, Tang Zheng arrived at the airport on Didui Island.
This is an airport covering an area of more than ten square kilometers, which is much larger than the airport in Zhuguang City.
The airport is now empty, and all the helicopters and fighter jets here were exhausted during the bombardment with the battleships of the Light Chaser Army.
There are only a few civilian flights parked there alone, and it seems that they have not been used much.
It is not easy to establish flights after the apocalypse. Even if you regain an airport and build an airplane, you often don't know where to fly.
Because the airports in many big cities have almost all been destroyed after the apocalypse, without exception.
Even if the other party also takes back the airport, establishing contact between you will be troublesome.
Even if contact is established, long-distance flight safety is still an issue, especially when taking off and landing. Mutated birds have become an important issue for flight safety. Not everywhere has the light-chasing army's method of using birds to control birds.
Even if these are solved, many people will not necessarily choose to make airplanes because their relatives have died and they will not be able to find their homes when they go to places they were familiar with before the end of the world.
So at this stage, the recovery of the aviation industry will take a long time.
Tang Zheng also retained these civilian flights. After a while, he would establish a route from Dicui Island to Zhuguang City. Even now, the route from Zhuguang City to the military base was immediately put into use.
When our side stabilizes, the route to the Yuanjing Palace Base can probably be started.
Looking at the empty airport, Tang Zheng started a new round of violence.
First up is the helicopter.
On the island, the helicopter unit plays a great role, and it is more convenient to take off and cruise.
Now Tang Zheng's air force is also in some confusion. All helicopters, transport planes, fighters, bombers, etc. are all classified into the Army Aviation Battalion sequence. This is unscientific.
So he decided to reorganize the Air Force.
The Army Aviation Battalion needs to be upgraded to a regiment, with jurisdiction over all transport helicopters and armed helicopters, as well as An-124 large transport aircraft. Of course, helicopters on warships are not included.
It has jurisdiction over airborne troops and some air force ground support troops.
There are twenty transport helicopters and twenty Apache helicopter gunships in the Army Aviation Battalion of the Light Chasing Army, but they did not follow them this time.
Tang Zheng decided to establish five army aviation battalions, each battalion should have forty-five aircraft, including thirty Apaches and ten transport helicopters, and five An-124 large transport aircraft, and each battalion should have Two thousand airborne troops.
Just having soldiers is not enough. It also needs the ability to be heavily armed and airborne. Each battalion is also equipped with five light tanks, five main battle tanks, as well as a number of armored vehicles, jeeps, etc. These tanks can be dropped into the war zone at any time. Conduct operations behind enemy lines.
The purchase demand this time is relatively large. Thirty Apaches are worth 3 million, ten transport planes are worth 500,000, five large transport planes are worth 1 million, and the total amount is 4.5 million.
Two thousand airborne troops and another one million dollars in funding.
There are also various types of combat vehicles and tanks, as well as the equipment of air force ground crews. Each army aviation battalion requires 6 million in funds.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Zheng decided to build four army aviation camps here.
The side of Zhuguang City will be used as the 1st Army Aviation Battalion on the original basis.
Four Army aviation battalions, with a total of 24 million funds.
But it actually only cost 21 million, because there were twenty An-124 large transport aircraft over there in Zhuguang City, and Tang Zheng asked fifteen to fly over, which saved three million.
As a result, the Army Aviation Battalion of the Light Chasing Army officially became the Army Aviation Regiment.
The regiment has a total of 225 aircraft, 10,000 airborne troops, 2,000 air force ground crews, and 4,000 pilots and crew members.
The whole regiment is at full strength, 16,000 people.
After the Army Aviation Group, it’s the real highlight.
air force.
In addition to the air force of the Army Aviation Regiment, Tang Zheng now also has fighters and bombers in Zhuguang City, as well as fighter jets and helicopters from the navy's aircraft carrier.
The navy's carrier-based aircraft belong to the navy, and Tang Zheng wants to establish a group of air force units on Didui Island.
It is difficult to divide the air force into squads and platoons. In the Han-Yue military system, a flying squadron is a company, a flying group is a battalion, and then there is the aviation regiment.
As for companies and below, they are single machines or temporary formations.
The unit Tang Zheng decided to build was an aviation regiment.
Aviation consists of five flying groups, each of which has five flying squadrons.
A squadron of ten aircraft, including eight fighters and two bombers.
The main fighter of the Air Force is the F15, and each one costs 150,000 gold.
The bomber is a Bear bomber, costing 200,000 gold each.
The purchase price of a squadron is 1.9 million.
The price of a flying group is 9.5 million gold.
The price of an aviation group is 47.5 million.
A total of 250 aircraft require about 400 pilots. Some aircraft are two-seater, and some pilots also need to be replaced. The pilot price is 400,000.
However, the situation was similar to that of the Army Aviation Regiment. Tang Zheng's original fighter jets and bombers in Zhuguang City were enough for a squadron, and there were even five more aircraft.
These planes also saved Tang Zheng 2.5 million in funds.
Therefore, Tang Zheng only needed to spend a little over 45 million to build an aviation group.
As the Air Force sent troops one after another, Tang Zheng also let some fighter jets fly back to Light Chaser City.
There are only a dozen or so planes in Chasing Light City, which is too weak. He wants to ensure that there is a flying brigade, that is, fifty fighter planes stationed in Chasing Light City.
As the Air Force continued to invade, fighter planes appeared at Didui Island Airport.
Tang Zheng made a supplement to the Air Force, which was the purchase of drones.
This unit is relatively cheap. The Reaper drone costs 50,000 units. It is very useful for both reconnaissance and attack.
Twenty drones formed a drone strike team.
Another million of funds were spent, and Tang Zheng still had 104 million left.
He thought for a while, and simply purchased another 10,000 war eagles and spent 3 million in funds to ensure the aviation safety of Didui Island and to investigate the surrounding situation.
At this point, the construction of the aviation regiment was completed, costing Tang Zheng a total of 46.4 million, excluding the cost of the war eagle, and the entire regiment had a total of 400 people.
Over at Zhuguang City, a pilot named Liu Zhenfeng was transferred by Tang Zheng. His fighter jet was already a Samsung fighter jet and he was also the first F15 pilot in the army. He was appointed as the leader of the aviation regiment.
With the remaining 101 million funds, Tang Zheng still has the next project to build.
That's the Navy.
At present, Tang Zheng's navy only has one aircraft carrier, one battleship, and one air-cushion transport ship, except for some ships of the inland river force.
This time in the battle to land on Didui Island, the navy made a great effort, especially the battleships, which were able to withstand the enemy's siege from all sides without falling, which was a great contribution.
Later, the aircraft carrier also showed its strength. More than 30 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched, wiping out the enemy's powerful armored forces in one fell swoop and making outstanding contributions to the victory of the war.
In Tang Zheng's mind, he planned to form multiple naval forces, but the current geographical limitations and funding problems prevented him from forming a large scale force for the time being.
However, it was not enough if the scale was too small. Tang Zheng left the airport and went straight to the medium-sized shipyard located in the northeast corner.
After arriving here, Tang Zheng continued to attack.
One aircraft carrier is not enough, he needs four aircraft carriers!
Once at the coast, he purchased the remaining three aircraft carriers.
The aircraft carrier, together with the carrier-based aircraft, Apache helicopters, and all the pilots on the aircraft carrier, has a total capital of 8.2 million.
Three aircraft carriers would require 24.6 million gold.
It is not enough to have an aircraft carrier alone, but also to have escort ships.
There are currently two types of ships that can be used as escorts, one is a battleship, and the other is a submarine hunter.
The main combat mission of hunting submarines is to deal with underwater submarines, but now no one is studying submarines. Because of the emergence of giant beasts in the ocean, submarines are not suitable for appearing now.
However, the submarine hunter is not only capable of dealing with submarines. As a military ship, its combat effectiveness is barely adequate, and it can also be used for cruising around.
But as the main frigate, Tang Zheng still chose the battleship.
For one aircraft carrier, Tang Zheng decided to build two battleships as frigates first. Four aircraft carriers would require eight.
The purchase price of a battleship is 1.2 million gold, and equipped with three Apaches is 1.5 million funds.
There is already one battleship, and only seven need to be equipped.
Ten and a half million dollars were spent, and all the battleships began to appear.
There are a lot of people on such a large naval ship.
There are 3,300 naval personnel on a light aircraft carrier, and 2,200 naval soldiers on a battleship.
With two aircraft carriers and four battleships, there are 15,200 naval warriors.
To be precise, there are 15,278 soldiers, because there are also carrier-based aircraft pilots.
The food on board is replenished once every half month, which can provide nutrition for the entire ship.
There are now four aircraft carriers and eight battleships, divided into two battle groups, each with a dual-carrier configuration.
Of course, it's not enough to have all these big ships. Tang Zheng added eight submarine hunting boats and ten air-cushion landing craft to the two battle groups.
The air-cushion landing craft can even drive into the cabin of the aircraft carrier, while submarine hunting is used as a surface patrol unit.
The other is the Marine Corps members. Tang Zheng did not plan to use the original dragon scale force. He assigned two new aircraft carrier battle groups, each equipped with 2,000 Marine Corps members. A total of four million gold was spent. As the main force of the navy's beach landing.
At this point, the navy has been officially completed.
The Navy of the Zhuangguang Army is divided into two aircraft carrier battle groups. The commander of the first battle group, Guo Qiguang, is at the regimental level.
At the beginning, he also suggested that Tang Zheng name the warships. Tang Zheng thought about it and named the first aircraft carrier Dawn.
Dawn is a series, the first ship is Dawn 001, the second is Dawn 002, and so on.
Originally, the battleship Tang Zheng did not plan to name it, but considering the great contribution made by the first battleship, Tang Zheng still named the battleship.
The Chasing Light-class battleship was born. This first battleship was named Chasing the Light. Luan Junfeng was even promoted to the commander of the second aircraft carrier battle group, with a full regimental level position.
The remaining battleships are called Zhuguang 002 and Zhuguang 003 according to the order of enlistment.
Each carrier battle group currently consists of two light aircraft carriers, four battleships, four submarine hunters, ten air-cushion landing craft, seventy carrier-based aircraft, twenty Apache helicopter gunships, and two thousand Marines. team members.
Each aircraft carrier battle group currently has a total of 17,750 personnel.
The total number of naval personnel has now reached 35,500.
At this point, the entire army of the Light Chasing Army included five field regiments with a total of 75,000 people.
There are two city guard regiments with 30,000 people, and one army aviation regiment with 16,000 people.
The navy has 35,500 men, the armored regiment has 1,500 men, and the artillery regiment has 5,000 men.
There are also 2,500 people in the direct battalion and 500 people in the aviation regiment.
There are also two engineering battalions with 5,000 men and a river force with 500 men.
There are also dragon scale and tiger wing special forces, each with 500 people, totaling 1,000 people.
In addition, there are personnel from special services, scientific research institutes, military intelligence agencies, security companies, and many other departments. These personnel total more than 5,000 people.
So now when all the arms are added up, the number has reached 177,500!
There is only a gap of more than 20,000 people from the full strength of the brigade of 200,000 people.
Among these troops, there are still some that have not reached Tang Zheng's satisfaction. For example, the direct battalion has not yet been fully staffed, and the navy also needs to be expanded. Two aircraft carriers are only the current standard. If there is a new battle, Tang Zheng can return it at any time. Can be expanded.
There are also two departments, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Special Service Department. Tang Zheng also plans to expand their branches. The situation on the island is complicated now. The tasks of these two departments are very heavy. Their expansion will replace the tasks of the troops, maintain law and order on the island, and arrest people. Catching and other work.
Moreover, after a large-scale military expansion, he still has up to 58 million funds in hand, which can support him in large-scale wars at any time.
More importantly, after this battle, the Light Chasing Army not only established a complete foothold in the coastal area, but also captured a crucial island.
It was busy until evening, and most of the troops were already in place.
Tang Zheng also let out a long breath.
At this time, he felt that he had broken free from the shackles on his body, and that the Light Chasing Army had truly gained a foothold and no longer had to care about anyone.
Whether it is pressure from abroad or pressure from within the country, it is not considered pressure now.
Even if they don't come to Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng will come to them, and the pursuit of light army will not stop.
