Chapter 3009
While listening to Roger and Dulu's explanation, Qian Tiandun paid attention to the state of the soldiers of the mercenary regiment.
If you look at the troops in front of you by the standards of special warfare divisions, the military appearance of the mercenary regiment is really not good.At a glance, the appearance and appearance of these people are not on the same channel, black and black, white and white, and yellow and yellow. The word "no-name army" pops up in the mind immediately.
The military uniforms of the mercenary regiment are also different from the gray uniforms of the regular army. The color is yellow-green, which is a bit close to jungle camouflage.This may be limited by military expenditures. There is not enough budget to provide them with camouflage military uniforms with high clothing costs. They can only settle for the next best thing and get a color close to the jungle environment to make up the number.
Compared with uniform military uniforms, the equipment on them is varied.There are those who wear straw sandals, cloth shoes, and small leather boots on their feet. The carrying equipment includes not only rough cloth girdles, but also canvas tactical vests similar to regular army equipment. They also carry water bottles and water bags, daggers and short knives. all the same.
Most of the personal weapons they use are [-]-type rifles that have been eliminated by most of the regular army.Although it is somewhat outdated equipment in the Haihan Army, it is still a breech-loading rifle with paper shell fixed ammunition, and its performance is still far superior to that of contemporary Western-style muskets.
Coupled with the tactics summed up by the Shanghai Han army through rich actual combat experience, it is enough for the mercenary group to deal with the indigenous armed forces in the surrounding areas of the Strait of Malacca.
However, there are still a few people who are equipped with cold weapons such as crossbows, short spears, chain hammers, etc. in addition to rifles. This is probably related to their personal combat habits.
"The mercenary regiment allows soldiers to freely choose their personal equipment. They can purchase some non-standard equipment to enhance their combat effectiveness according to their own conditions." Dulu explained what Qian Tiandun noticed.
If the mercenaries are willing to spend money, they can customize their own equipment according to their own combat needs, and even buy part of the active equipment of the Haihan Army from the black market.
However, judging from what Qian Tiandun saw, the firearms they were equipped with were obviously restricted, otherwise there would definitely be some mercenaries who could obtain rifles with better performance from certain special channels.But perhaps this was also intentional by Roger, in order to limit the combat effectiveness of the mercenary regiment and maintain a certain gap with the level of the regular army, so that it would be easier to control.
Although the ethnic groups are different, the equipment is mixed, and they don't look as neat as the regular army, but the chilling aura on these mercenaries is no less than that of the regular army.After all, they have been carrying out military missions overseas all year round, and they usually do mostly bloody business. Their combat experience is not bad, and they may even be better than some troops with fewer actual combat opportunities.
After a simple review ceremony, Dulu led the team to visit the base's barracks, logistics, arsenal and other facilities.The construction of the entire base basically follows the standards of the Haihan Army. Qian Tiandun has led troops in the army for many years, and has personally built countless camps. Many of the relevant standards were formulated by him, so it is really true Couldn't be more familiar.
Although the foreign mercenary group has limited investment in personal equipment, the construction level of this base is not bad. All the houses are made of brick and tile structures, the main roads in the camp area have even been hardened, and various training facilities are in place. all available.The level of hardware here is fully qualified even if it is used as a regular army base.
However, the reserves in the arsenal are inevitably a bit shabby. Apart from the Type 30 rifles, there are only a few small-caliber field guns, and they are all old models from the [-]s. It is estimated that the remaining service life is now used. Not much more.
As for the grenades, landmines, blasting tubes and other equipment installed by the regular army, there are none here.It is obvious that the heavy weapons that the mercenary group can use are under very strict control, and the ability to attack fortifications is probably the biggest shortcoming of the mercenary group in land combat.
The only place that is significantly different from the base of the regular army is probably the confinement room under the jurisdiction of the Military Discipline Department.
The military bases of the Haihan Army will have confinement rooms for detaining soldiers who violate discipline, but the scale is generally not large. Generally, it is enough to build a few confinement rooms at a ratio of one-thousandth of the garrison.
But the situation of the mercenary group is obviously a bit special. They actually built a courtyard in a corner of the base, and there are more than 30 single rooms separated inside.With only some personnel from the third battalion staying, half of the confinement rooms here are actually locked up, which shows that the military discipline of the mercenary regiment is indeed not very good.
Qian Tiandun asked jokingly: "There are so many people imprisoned in this place. Could it be that they just finished a group fight?"
Roger didn't think it was wrong, and replied calmly: "The discipline of the mercenary regiment is indeed not that strong. Violating military discipline is almost commonplace, so it is necessary to build more confinement rooms to let these guys learn to obey the rules. Most of the soldiers who have served in the Corps have been locked up here."
Qian Tiandun said: "With such a level of discipline, can we still let them perform important tasks?"
Roger said: "In some special cases, using a mercenary group is the best solution, and there won't be much room for choice."
Qian Tiandun said: "Then how do you plan to use it this time?"
Roger said: "If you want to find a sufficient reason to send troops and get immediate results, of course you have to set a target and fight it yourself."
Du Lu led a group of people to the combat conference room of the base, and all the officers above the company level of the third battalion were also present, waiting for Roger's dispatch.
First, Dulu explained the current overseas deployment of the mercenary regiment: "At present, the first battalion is stationed in Padang Port in West Sumatra, assisting Aceh to eliminate the local rebels. The second battalion is stationed scattered in northern Sumatra. Simawei, Meilun, Shigeli, Banda Aceh and other places, the main task is to assist Aceh to train new troops.”
"The rotating troops of the third battalion are stationed in the Dumai area and are responsible for guarding the local oil fields. According to the schedule, the troops stationed at the base will go to Dumai to replace them one month later."
Qian Tiandun looked at the map on the wall, and all the deployment locations of the mercenary regiment were on Sumatra Island.
"It seems that Aceh is the big sponsor of the mercenary group!"
Judging from the deployment situation, it is not difficult for Qian Tiandun to come to such a conclusion.
Roger did not deny his speculation: "The country of Aceh pays a considerable amount of remuneration to the mercenary group every year, and we only complete the tasks required by the employer."
"Aceh should be in a lot of trouble, right?"
Qian Tiandun is no stranger to such a situation, after all, it is not new to invite foreign troops to station on the country's territory.Part of the army under the jurisdiction of the Northern Region has been stationed in the territory of North Korea for the past 20 years, providing it with armed protection.
