The current "Long live the army" army serial

Artillery

38th Army artillery up to about 700. 38th Army's artillery fire coverage of hundreds of meters from the front to 100 km range, their dependents M9 and M11 missiles camp again against tactical ballistic missiles, the range extends to 300-600 km deep behind enemy lines. Now all the artillery brigade of the army fire a salvo of total projected up to 30 tons, equivalent to 15 times the end of the Korean War, has reached the level of today's leading U.S. and Russian armed forces, but in the hit play the kind of precision and with the U.S. military still there are gaps, however, over the Russian military. In terms of self-propelled artillery, have to catch up with the Russian military, most of the Type 83 and 89 using self-propelled gun barrel gun type, in addition to about 180 various types of rockets. In wartime, the Army's artillery ready to provide strong and with the suppression of fire into the barrage. The artillery brigade had basically met the command automation.

Air force

Since 1995, -171 m, 38 with the Russian military air defense brigade latest TOR-M1 (SA-15) Track and field air defense missiles. 1997 and later purchased 15 sets of part transmitted to the Nanjing Military Region. According to the development of the missile weapons of the Russian Aetna company said the new group is ordering the end of 1998, for any reason until April of this year until delivery. Meanwhile, the Division has received Beijing's request, authorized generic in the mainland sets of the same type of system 160 can be equipped with 16 air defense mission, which is the red flag 17. Currently, 38 Army equipped with Gazelle, WZ-9, MI-8MAT three kinds of armed helicopters, straight 9A / B, MI-8, MI-17/171 transport helicopters, and a variety of special helicopters (communication interference, relay communications, reconnaissance and fire, etc.).

The Russian army divisions and about 121 or more than 80 helicopters, plus a wealth of practical and operational experience in comparison, China's army aviation troops are still very naive, but development is also fast. One problem is that China is still limited number of helicopters, three army aviation helicopter brigades was the equivalent of a division of the number of U.S. troops. But with the domestic new WZ WZ-10 will enter service, and made the development of medium-sized helicopters, new heavy-lift helicopters to carry out project, this situation will soon be much improved future.

The construction of military-level digital

Army has now completed the first stage 38 digitization experiments. The Army tests showed that these expensive digital equipment and stability in addition to * be improved, the IFF is also problematic. But also realize that the new digital equipment can really enhance the combat effectiveness of troops. In the late 90's, China has built an experimental 38 Jun digital business, two years ago, China has established the first digit of the division. China's main battle tank ZTZ99 through digital experiment, 38 Army combat found in the speed, lethality, survivability of the three indicators, the progress is the most significant operational speed, meaning that the digital forces to speed up the process of war, reduce consumption magical effect.

Synthesis of combat power in the overall review, the military hopes such as the focus of the 38th Army corps, be sufficient to counter the U.S. heavy divisions 2 or 3 light divisions. To U.S. military standards, as 第一装甲师, First Cavalry Division, First Infantry Division and other divisions are heavy; and as the 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Air Assault Division, 10th Mountain Division and other divisions are light. Currently, 38 Army combat power to achieve a comprehensive (history) up to the strongest of the 7th Armored Division (Equipment ZTZ-99 tanks), in addition to Hokkaido, Japan 7th Armoured Division tank performance in the length of each other, the integrated combat power throughout the Far East, no one can match his.

Chinese People's Liberation Army, the predecessor of 38 1 Column Northeast Field Army. The column is a developed as the backbone to the Red Army troops. Section 334 of the Military Mission, formerly known as July 1928 Peng, Teng Daiyuan successful uprising led Pingjiang armies composed of a red 5, when the Long March to the Northern Army of its designation as the Red 1 10 group. The 338 Group, formerly known as Red Army's 75th Division of 25 223 groups.

Edited after the 4th Infantry Division has compiled a total of 18,000 people. The key is to adapt to the preparation of the "Cold War" period with the Soviet mechanized large-scale ground war needs, the requirements of flexibility and mobility of information warfare is not suited. Mainly in the large division, structure bloated, excessive number of personnel and weapons, is not flexible enough. In addition, there is no Brigade and formed the following units within the power of logistic support and engineering support, basic does not have an independent capability.
