Chapter 302: 1 Type 63A Amphibious Tanks
I thought I had discovered a system BUG, but now it seems that I underestimated the system.
With doubts, Xu Le checked the interface of the 035A submarine and did not find any purchase restriction settings.
He thought of a possibility and switched to the interface of the 051 destroyer.
After a careful observation, I found that, just like the 091 submarine, there was a row of very small words in the lower right corner, which also said: Purchase limit is one boat per month, and can be accumulated!
Xu Le thought carefully and realized that he bought the first destroyer in early May. According to the system, if the purchase could be accumulated, one destroyer would be purchased every month. Now it is October, which means he has accumulated the qualification to purchase 5 ships.
Fengling Ferry purchased 2 ships and just purchased 4 more, making a total of 6 ships!
The anti-ship missile of the 051 destroyer is the Sea Eagle 1, which also costs 200 million military merit points each, which is ridiculously expensive!
With a trial attitude, he clicked the purchase button for the 051 destroyer, and a prompt box popped up on the system interface.
"Ding, the number of available purchases is zero, please come back next month!"
"Depend on!"
Xu Le's swear word scared Xu Dadu.
Unwilling to give up, he switched to the Type 01 frigate interface and after checking, he did not find any purchase restrictions.
"I see. I was wondering why the system left me with such a big bug. It turns out it was premeditated! If the missile is a required weapon for the equipment, then there is a purchase limit! If the missile is an optional weapon, then there is no purchase limit!"
"For example, the Type 091 nuclear submarine has six launch tubes that can only launch Eagle Strike 6 missiles, so they are essential weapons."
"For example, the J-7 can launch Thunderbolt missiles, but its mounts are not limited to missiles. They can also carry rockets and aerial bombs. Therefore, the Thunderbolt missile is a selective weapon, and there is no purchase limit for the J-7!"
"The Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle must also be equipped with the Hongjian 73 anti-tank missile, so why is there no restriction on it?"
Xu Le, who couldn't figure it out, could only attribute it to the difference in missile size, or the different size of the target.
红箭72反坦克导弹只有10多千克重，霹雳导弹80多千克，海鹰1号反舰导弹重600千克，鹰击82也是达到了715千克。
"Forget it, I can accumulate the times and do it slowly later! But it's a waste to use such expensive missiles to attack the garbage warships in today's world..."
Buying a 1 nuclear submarine will also be used for training. When the Bhamo base is abandoned in the future, the system space can be reclaimed and it will not be wasted!
The balance of military merit points is 2644 million.
The naval surface ship force is ready, and the submarine force is about to start training. The naval aviation force and the naval coastal defense force are not yet ready for deployment, and only the equipment of the Marine Corps is left.
Bai Shiyi once said that the 066 landing craft is very practical, with strong transport and maneuverability.
However, Xu Le does not want to deploy small landing craft now, at least not the Type 066, because it can only be used to transport infantry and cannot transport armored vehicles. Even if it is used to transport supplies, it is too small.
The infantry of Xu's army basically fought in armored vehicles, which had a certain degree of protection.
However, the performance of the Army's main armored vehicle, the Type 63 armored troop carrier, is average and its speed on the water is too slow. It has no problem crossing small rivers, but it is much worse for amphibious landing operations.
The main task of the Marine Corps is to conduct beach landings, and the combat area will not be too deep inland, so transportation and protection capabilities are more important.
Therefore, Xu Le specially selected an amphibious armored personnel carrier for the Marine Corps' Marine Battalion: the Type 77 tracked armored vehicle, which is the first generation of amphibious armored personnel carrier independently developed by New China.
The vehicle uses the chassis of the Type 63 amphibious tank, has a total weight of nearly 19 tons, and has a crew of 2 people.
The main weapon is a 12.7mm dual-purpose machine gun with a normal ammunition supply of 500 rounds. The vehicle body is 14mm thick homogeneous steel armor, which can defend against small-caliber bullets at close range and 12.7mm ordinary bullets at long range.
The fastest speed on land is 64 kilometers per hour, with a cruising range of 370 kilometers; the speed on water is 12 kilometers per hour, with a cruising range of 120 kilometers, and it has strong wind and wave resistance.
The carrying capacity reaches 3 tons and can carry 20 infantrymen.
The most important reason why Xu Le chose this model is that the rear of the vehicle is equipped with a foldable tail springboard, middle springboard and artillery towing hook for loading and unloading artillery. It can carry and tow artillery over short distances, and transport supplies, equipment, ammunition, etc.
The price of Type 77 tracked armored vehicle is 3000 military merit points per vehicle, and 150 vehicles can be purchased!
The Marine Corps is temporarily organized into regiments. One Marine regiment consists of three Marine battalions, one tank battalion, and one artillery battalion, a total of five combat battalions, with a total regiment strength of approximately 3 people.
Regarding the tanks of the tank battalion, they must be amphibious tanks.
In the previous Lancang River Campaign, the combat efficiency was reduced because the Type 69 tanks could not float across the river. At that time, Xu Le had thought of equipping a small number of Type 63 amphibious tanks to carry out the army's forced crossing mission, but later he gave up.
Because as a troop charging at the forefront, the tank's protection capability is too low, and the caliber of its gun is only 85 mm. For Xu Le, who has a fear of insufficient firepower, this is not a good option!
However, in the past, the only country that developed amphibious tanks was New China, and there were very few models. In addition to the basic model of Type 63, the one with stronger protection and firepower was Type 63A.
However, the 63A amphibious tank was developed by New China in the late 90s and was not put into service until the 21st century, which has exceeded the system's 90-year dividing line, so the price is quite expensive, reaching 20 military merit points per vehicle.
Its combat weight is 22 tons, it has a crew of 4 people, and its surface speed reaches 28 kilometers per hour, which is twice that of its basic model, and its ability to resist wind and waves is even stronger.
The main gun is a low-recoil 105mm rifled gun that can fire all domestically produced 105-caliber shells. When firing a discarding sabot fin-stabilized armor-piercing projectile at a distance of 2000 meters, the armor-piercing capability is 560mm of homogeneous armor steel or 2100mm thick reinforced concrete fire point;
It can even launch gun-launched missiles with a maximum range of 5 kilometers and a maximum armor-piercing depth of 700 mm.
In terms of protection capability, the 63A is ridiculously strong. The turret is made of 520 mm double-defense composite armor, and the front of the vehicle is made of 490 mm inclined double-defense composite armor. It is a true mobile bunker that combines firepower and defense!
Although the price is expensive, Xu Le chose this with great reluctance, considering that the size of the Marine Corps cannot be large, and the Marine Corps is the most dangerous branch of the military, the safety of the soldiers must be guaranteed as much as possible.
Perhaps the system also understands that such equipment is too out of touch with the real world, so the price is so expensive!
Purchasing 30 vehicles will cost 600 million military merit points, which is just enough to equip a tank battalion. We dare not buy more than one, so let them figure out the battalion command vehicle themselves.
The last is the artillery battalion. Landing operations require mobility. The soil around the beach is soft, so it is impossible to deploy large-caliber towed heavy artillery.
The Type 85 122mm tracked self-propelled howitzer equipped by the Army's self-propelled artillery battalion is the best choice. It not only has the ability to float, but its tracks can also enable it to travel quickly on the wet and soft beach.
Buying 20 vehicles will cost 10 military merit points.
Type 77 armored vehicle, Type 63A amphibious tank, Type 85 122mm self-propelled gun, these three are the basic equipment of the Marine Corps. As for individual weapons, they are exactly the same as those of the Army. The main land and water transportation is also undertaken by the Type 77 armored vehicle.
Including the replenishment of ammunition, the cost of a Marine Corps is about 660 million military merit points, and the balance once again plummeted to 1984 million.
"Fortunately, all the fuel for personal use is free, otherwise the Xu family army of more than 10 troops would not be able to move!"
