Originally, I thought I could have some leisure time on the front line...
In fact, this kind of leisure is actually a crime for us. The reason is that all the soldiers on the front line are busy fighting with the Vietnamese Japanese. Especially the reconnaissance brigade is the most active during this period. We are the only ones in the combined battalion.
There is nothing to do with the title of training and reconnaissance brigade.~
It wouldn't matter if we were at leisure in the rear base, out of sight and out of mind, and didn't see other soldiers fighting against the Japanese, but now when we compare them, it doesn't feel right.
However, this free time did not last long. A few days after I came back from Ruili, Commander Zhang sent a telegram to call us back.
This time it gave me a hard time.
The telegram recalled only our combined battalion, but not the reconnaissance brigade. This means... Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, who directly command and train the reconnaissance brigade, must stay on the front line.
In response to this, I sent a special telegram to Commander Zhang to confirm the issue of the reconnaissance brigade. The reply I received was: "The reconnaissance brigade performed very well and will continue to stay on the front line. They will be responsible for the training of the reconnaissance brigade of other military regions."
"
So I had no choice but to summon the Chen sisters to the office.
"It seems that you have to stay on the front line for a while longer!" I handed them the telegram casually: "This is an order from the superior. The combined battalion has another mission when it returns to Beijing!"
"Insist on obeying orders!" Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao stood up.
In fact, I believe this is exactly what they want, because they are obsessed with revenge...
"Comrade Chen Yiyi, Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao!" Thinking of this, I said earnestly: "You have to understand that we are a revolutionary team. We are fighting on the front line for the motherland and the people. So we should relax our mentality. Don't be personal.
Bring your grievances to the army, otherwise it may affect your judgment, and you will make mistakes, do you understand?"
My words almost made the Chen sisters laugh, but they looked at me with a straight face and finally suppressed their laughter and said, "Yes."
The reason why I do this and say this is to send them a message: I am doing business in this regard and will not be biased because of my feelings for them.
But in fact, I believe that with the personalities of Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, it would be difficult to restrain them with orders or military law, so before I left, I told Xu Liangbin: If the Chen sisters were to commit suicide, it would be obviously inappropriate.
Proper order, delay and report to me.
After that, I took the combined battalion and flew back to the base in Beijing.
At first, I didn’t know why Commander Zhang was so anxious to call us back, but when I saw the Black Hawk helicopter flying "chugging" in the sky on the jeep...it turned out to be the Black Hawk supported by the Yankees.
The helicopter has arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the headquarters, Commander Zhang chuckled and said: "You may have seen that the Americans sold us twenty-four Black Hawk helicopters in one go, and they were improved versions with enlarged engines.
The thrust, shooting window and machine gun mount have all been optimized and its performance is even better than the Black Hawk used by the Yankees!"
"Yeah!" I nodded.
I'm actually not surprised by this. This is not to say that the Americans are so nice to us. This is because most weapons and equipment have the advantage of being latecomers. That is to say, if you use the weapons, you will find them in actual combat.
There are some shortcomings, so the later the equipment is, the more advanced it is. On the other hand, the reason why the United States spares no effort to support us is entirely to allow us to act as the vanguard to restrain the Soviet Union... This is not an exchange of interests between countries.
That's all.
"This helicopter can be said to be the most advanced helicopter in our army at present!" Commander Zhang casually handed a stack of information to me and said: "This is the information about the Black Hawk helicopter. Take it and study it carefully, and get familiar with it as soon as possible.
The use of such helicopters!”
"Commander!" I couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Is there anything we need to use the Black Hawk for?"
It is not surprising that Commander Zhang would give us this task. After all, our combined battalion is now the only unit that has its own helicopter squadron and has conducted helicopter training and participated in actual combat.
However, it is a bit strange to ask us to familiarize ourselves with the use of Black Hawk as soon as possible.
Commander Zhang nodded and said with a heavy face: "There is a problem on the Sino-Indian border. According to reports, an Indian intelligence agency sent a small force to sneak across the McMahon Line to collect intelligence, and there are signs of being stationed for a long time.
For example, they always withdraw from summer to winter, and this has been the case for two consecutive years, and India continues to increase its troops along the border, and now there are two divisions of troops."
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
I have heard of this in modern times. Many people only know that China and India had two military conflicts in the 1960s, and the China-India War in 1962 was even more painful. But the China-India war in the 1980s
Not many people know about the conflict.
The main reason is that the conflict in the 1980s was just a conflict, and it did not eventually break out into a large-scale war.
This is actually very easy to understand. On the one hand, India, from the Prime Minister down to the people, suffers from serious arrogance. It is a country that does not know how much it weighs. If it has some weapons and equipment, it thinks it can pull it off.
It's amazing, I don't take others seriously at all.
This was the case in 1962... You must know that China at that time had just finished the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea (the campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea ended in 1953). On the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, China basically singled out a coalition of more than a dozen countries headed by the United States*
*, and still achieved victory despite a considerable gap in weapons and equipment.
After this battle, the whole world was impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. Even the US military lamented: Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Chinese army is a fool.
Moreover, the Chinese ** team also started to change their equipment to 56 half and 56 red in 1962. By 1962, the front-line troops had a large number of equipment (the first-line troops completed the change in 1968, and the second-line troops began to change in 1970).
If the Indians were smart enough, they would know that the Chinese Army at that time was a unit with combat experience and advanced individual weapons (at that time, the 56 and a half and 56 punch were more advanced
(Individual weapons), facing such an army must not be fought lightly.
On the contrary, the situation of the Indian army is unflattering... The withdrawal of British commanders has allowed Indian high-caste soldiers to be promoted to commanders without military merit. Various castes within the army are also full of contradictions. The Indian army
The rifle used was also the Enfield bolt-action rifle used by the British Army in World War II. Its firepower was not at the same level as the 56 and a half and 56 punch of the Chinese Army.
However, even in this situation where a discerning person can tell who is strong and inferior at a glance, the Indians are still arrogant and think that they are the third largest country in the world after the United States and the Soviet Union. They still consider themselves the boss of Asia, so they ignore my country's repeated The peace proposal put forward openly launched armed provocation... The Indians thought that our country's peace proposal was because it was afraid of them.
Needless to say, the result was that several divisions of Indian troops were chased and beaten by one or two regiments of Chinese troops, and countless Indian soldiers and equipment were captured.
However, it is precisely because of this that India remembers this period of history as a shame, and also suffers from intermittent attacks of Longju syndrome. From time to time, it wants to avenge China's shame. So the Sino-Indian border
It is common sense that there will be unrest.
On the other hand, I think India is probably seeing that our country is facing internal and external troubles and is waiting to be revitalized, so it wants to fish in troubled waters and take advantage... This is actually quite normal, as mentioned before between countries.
What is important is profit, and precisely because of this, fists are the last word in the world.
"According to our analysis..." Commander Zhang continued: "This is because the Indian army is newly equipped with the Soviet Mi-26, so it is ready to move."
"Oh!" I understood a little after hearing this.
As a fan of the puppet army, I still know a little bit about the Mi-26.
In fact, it is not an armed helicopter like the Mi-24, but a heavy transport helicopter.
But don’t think that transport helicopters are less important than armed helicopters. In fact, transport helicopters are much more important than armed helicopters on certain battlefields.
The Sino-Indian border is such a typical example... The Sino-Indian border is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of four or five thousand meters. Transportation in this area is extremely difficult, not to mention car transportation. The road is long and dangerous, compared with the mountain roads in Afghanistan.
It's even worse. As for helicopters, none of our country's current helicopters can be used at altitudes above three thousand meters.
Of course, there is one now, and that is the Black Hawk helicopter.
Obviously, logistical supplies are the most important in combat on this kind of terrain... without bullets and food, no matter how many troops there are, it is nonsense.
This issue was originally a difficult problem for both China and India. It is precisely for this reason that China has been focusing on opening roads to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its fundamental purpose is to solve border security problems. In modern times, it has also opened up a road with a length of nearly 2,000 kilometers.
kilometers of Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
There is a lyric that goes like this: "I got on the train and went to Lhasa to see the magical Potala...".
It is conceivable that if the railways are opened, strategic materials can be transported to the front line quickly and in large quantities.
But that was decades later, and now we are still facing this problem: after India acquired the Mi-26 heavy-lift helicopter, its transportation capabilities on the border are significantly better than ours.
Then I knew why our country was in a hurry to introduce the Black Hawk and let us become familiar with its use. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
