As the saying goes: Everything depends on human effort.
The first priority is definitely people.
The Dragon War Plan draws 20 team members from the base and uses all the existing equipment and materials in the base to form a professional armed escort team.
Armed escort is a business in the PMC industry. It is not difficult to find 20 professional escort team members.
All the personnel management related work in the base was handed over to Bobby. Long Zhan could only call over Bobby, who had not completed the previous task, and assigned him another new task.
After the armed escort personnel have been determined, the next step is the equally important "convoy weaponization".
It can also be said to be fleet configuration!
For a standard armed escort fleet, vehicle planning is very strict.
Escorting in the wild is even more complicated!
There must be a fast and flexible pathfinder vehicle in front, which can also be called a pathfinder vehicle.
They must run at least 500 meters to 1 kilometer in front of the convoy, complete all tasks such as exploring and opening roads, and guide the most correct route for the convoy behind.
It's a bit like the scouts who were marching in the front in ancient times and needed to feed back all the information to the rear.
Let the large troops in the rear have a safe marching environment.
Behind the pathfinder vehicle is the large force. In order to ensure that the large force has offensive and defensive capabilities, it also needs to be divided into three steps.
The division is somewhat similar to the CQB four-man action formation.
The leading vehicle is the one at the front, which needs to have strong maneuverability, a certain amount of firepower and protection capabilities, and the ability to flexibly switch between advance and retreat.
Advancing can kill the enemy by attacking, and retreating can cover large troops from ambushes.
Only in this way can the lead car fulfill its role when encountering danger.
Then walking in the middle, the three trucks were filled with arms and ammunition. They were the ones that needed protection the most and were the core of the entire armed escort convoy.
There is no need to say more about transport vehicles. The most important thing is to do maintenance and troubleshooting in advance.
There are people protecting the transport truck in front, and people also need to be protected behind it.
Don't worry about your head and body!
Backup vehicles need to be arranged at the rear of the convoy, and the existence of backup vehicles is extremely important, so stronger firepower and higher protection capabilities are needed.
They even have to stay when necessary and rely on vehicles to build blocking lines on the spot.
The enemy is stopped and forced to fight with him. There is no way to continue to pursue the convoy headquarters, thus giving the convoy more time to move and evacuate.
The responsibilities of each position are different, and the vehicles that need to be configured are also different.
As the "scout" vehicle leading the way, Long Zhan decided to contribute his own exclusive vehicle, which was the only Lutsk jeep at the base.
Under the premise that they are all old antiques...
The Jeep's off-road capabilities and maneuvering speed far exceed those of the remaining trucks at the base.
It's perfect for serving as a "scout".
The only jeep in the base is used up, and the vanguard going behind also needs mobility. So what should we do?
Long Zhan thought about it and could only use local materials.
Change it to a truck!
As long as the truck is not used for hauling goods, the high torque of its own diesel engine and the high ground clearance brought by the large-size tires are enough.
As long as the modification method is adequate, the weight of the car will be light enough.
It can run, move, and has plenty of firepower.
The maneuverability is not as good as that of jeeps and off-road vehicles, but it is not that bad.
In order to ensure that this vanguard truck had sufficient mobility and firepower, Long Zhan personally drew a modification diagram.
The first step is to remove the tarpaulin bracket from the rear body of the truck, remove the baffles on both sides of the rear body, and cut off the entire rear half of the rear body.
Only the front half of the truck body is left, exposing the truck's bottom bridge.
After such drastic cutting and disassembly, the weight of the truck was suddenly reduced, and the model also seemed to have shrunk a lot.
As long as the horsepower and torque remain unchanged, the car will be lighter and can run faster.
This is common sense in physics!
The truck mobility that Long Zhan wanted was perfectly solved.
The next step is to modify the vehicle in the second step, so that the truck has good output capabilities to ensure that it can output fierce firepower when it encounters an attack.
Dragon War's modification in this aspect simply imitates the Mark M915 armed military truck.
In the remaining half of the truck body, various steel materials that can be found everywhere in the mine, plus plates removed from the previous truck, were used to create a 360-degree movable gun tower that can be operated by two people.
Then move the Maxim machine gun in the arsenal to the gun turret and weld it fixedly.
Finally, in the remaining parts of the body, we weld some compartments that can be used to store ammunition, with thousands of rounds of bullets and cooling water as backup.
After such a transformation.
The old truck from the last century that was originally outdated has been transformed into a high-speed armed pickup truck, which has great capabilities in terms of speed and firepower.
"Perfect, I'm a transformation genius."
Looking at the "armed truck" he drew, which gave the old guy a new life wearing armor and guns, Long Zhan felt that he must give himself 100 points.
The three vehicles in the middle are responsible for transporting arms. They have been arranged before Long Zhan.
After deciding on the lead vehicle with both firepower and speed, you can directly step over these three transport vehicles, followed by the tail vehicle with both defense and firepower.
As the pinnacle of firepower of the entire convoy, it is also the strongest defensive shield.
The maneuverability of the tail-pad vehicle is the least important. While it has strong enough attack capabilities, its defensive capabilities have become an important aspect.
The Mark M915 armed military truck has still become the reference template for Dragon War.
The tarpaulin roof of the rear bucket also needs to be removed, so that people in the car can get more visibility and facilitate the subsequent installation of heavy firepower.
The first is to strengthen the defense.
Under the premise that the existing supplies were extremely scarce, Long Zhan could only learn from the Middle Easterners' armed vehicle modification program and use the only supplies to enhance bulletproofing.
The front of the car is welded with a steel plate in all directions, including the front windshield.
However, in order for the driver to see the road better, a hole as big as a computer screen needs to be made in the middle of the steel plate in front of the windshield, and then a foldable fence-type cover is made on it.
Open the cover when driving normally. If you encounter an attack, put the cover down and block the opening of the front windshield.
The driver can observe the road conditions ahead through the gap in the cover's fence.
Although driving in this way will be very tiring and the field of vision will be very limited, the safety factor is higher. Pay attention to ensure the safety of the cab.
Then, including the tires, fuel tanks, etc., a circle of hanging steel plates was made to prevent anyone from specifically hitting the tires and fuel tanks.
