"Batalion Commander Yang!" Since we couldn't reach an agreement on the training issue, Staff Officer Li had no choice but to contact Commander Wu of the 319th Division. ~~~~ Commander Wu hung up the phone after hearing about this incident: "Very well.
I'm sorry that I didn't pick you up in person because of official duties. I know this matter has embarrassed you. After all, this is a task assigned to you by your superiors. It is indeed inappropriate for us to do this. But I hope that Battalion Commander Yang can still consider the actual situation.
"
"The actual situation?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.
"Yes!" Commander Wu replied: "What you just said makes sense. From the perspective of shocking the Indian devils, your combined battalion should indeed take action. I think this is also the purpose of your superiors asking you to carry out this task. But...
On the one hand, this process may take longer, which means you need a longer period of time
Adapt to plateau operations; on the other hand, Commander Yang, think about it, can your combined battalion stay here for a long time? If you just give the Indian devils a little color to shock them and then leave, what if there is something else going on next?
What to do? Then transfer you from Beijing or other battlefields? This is unrealistic!"
"Hmm!" When I heard this, I felt that what Mr. Wu said made sense.
In fact, historically, these Black Hawk helicopters served in Tibet or the Xinqiang plateau. The reason is very simple. The war on the Sino-Vietnamese border has stabilized, and Vietnam's equipment is relatively backward. In addition, the air forces of the two armies have also
Without participating in the war, if necessary, the five reforms will be able to meet the combat needs.
On the contrary, on the Sino-Indian border, Indian equipment is more advanced because of the Soviet Union and the United States... This is also one of the benefits of India's non-aligned policy. It launched the Non-Aligned Movement together with 25 other countries in 1961.
In other words, they did not choose sides in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The one who has benefited the most from this movement is probably India. After all, it is a big country. Whether it is a powerful country or not is not discussed for now. But there is no doubt that it has a population and vast land similar to China. Therefore, many international affairs
For example, when China was resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, it did not establish a dialogue mechanism with the United States. Any voice China needed to convey to the United States, or any information the United States needed to convey to China, had to go through non-aligned India.
Of course, the United States at that time did not bother to send any message to China. At that time, the Yankees thought that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army was like a few Japanese soldiers who could occupy a city during the Anti-Japanese War. They took it for granted that it did not require a few
They can occupy North Korea in just a month, so they don’t take the messages and warnings from China seriously at all.
Facts have proved that the Americans were wrong. And they were very wrong. It was precisely because of the bloody battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea that lasted several years that the Chinese people, or even all Chinese people, were able to stand upright in the international arena.
Because India has always adhered to this non-alignment policy, it has been benefiting from both sides between the United States and the Soviet Union. To put it simply, the United States and the Soviet Union are willing to sell weapons to India. Just like the war in 1962, they also had a bad relationship with the Soviet Union.
China, which had just fought to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, could be said to have offended the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. As a result, the United States and the Soviet Union both sold weapons to support India in fighting a war with us.
(The author believes that this is one of the reasons why the Chinese Army withdrew its troops after winning the victory in 1962. You must know that they were at odds with the two giants, the United States and the Soviet Union, at the same time, and they also directly fought with the non-aligned power India... That is almost
All the countries on the earth have been offended. In this way,
Even if we are fighting this war because of unreasonable provocation by India, it is impossible for international public opinion to be on our side, and the United States and the Soviet Union may even directly send troops to intervene. In other words, this war is not going to happen.
It is undoubtedly the best choice to continue the fight and stop when the situation is good.)
The situation in India now is similar to that then. It still has a non-aligned policy. It has received a lot of advanced equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union. For example, the aircraft carrier is from the United Kingdom, the fighter jets are from the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union. Other equipment is basically the same.
It is made by all nations and has equipment from every country, just like a grocery store with everything.
However, everything has two sides. It is indeed a good thing that India can buy advanced equipment from all over the world, that is, two camps, but it is also a bad thing.
The advantage is that India can get ready-made equipment no matter what equipment it wants.
The disadvantage is that the equipment of the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union is completely different in terms of ammunition, parts, and systems. If there is no strong industrial base to digest and absorb it, it will seriously affect the establishment of the industrial system... All the money
They were all made by foreign workers, while local workers could only stare and eat porridge. Even if India later consciously spent money on local workers, it still had nothing because it was too ambitious and unwilling to start from the basics.
become.
This is actually because India's appetite has been spoiled. For example, India can obviously spend some money to purchase more advanced equipment from abroad. How can it let the military industry research backward equipment, and this backward equipment will cost more money?
and time.
This directly led to the fact that even if India wanted to develop its own equipment in the end, it would have to buy parts from other countries and assemble them in its own country. In the end, it would be assembled into a "four different", such as the "Arjun Tank" and the "Tejas Fighter"...
Of course, these are all modern things. At this time, India was still in the US and Soviet camps and was able to get both ways. However, they have not yet realized that this is actually poison.
But from the current point of view, India's equipment is still quite advanced, especially after it acquired its first aircraft carrier in 1957, it is no wonder that it regarded itself as "the third in the world" in 1962 and did not consider it
China takes it seriously.
As a result, in order to deal with India's advanced equipment, such as the Mi-26 currently owned by India, China has to assign the Black Hawk to serve in this area. Only in this way can it suppress India in terms of momentum.
"How about this!" After thinking about it, I suggested to Commander Wu: "We can train the two troops together. This way, we can learn and communicate faster and better, so as to achieve the purpose of adapting to each other in the shortest time.
.On the other hand, it can also take into account both short-term and long-term strategic goals on the current battlefield."
"Well, that's a good idea!" Wen Yan, Commander Wu agreed without thinking: "This way, we have the best of both worlds. I hope that Commander Yang can teach my subordinates more. As you know, our army has the best of both worlds.
We are located on the border and the pace of reform is slow, so it would be great to have your combined camp here for training!"
I have seen this from the equipment of the 319th Division, and I think this has something to do with the harsh living conditions and relatively closed transportation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
What makes me a little angry is that in the end, this joint training is not about us teaching others, but more about others teaching us.
Since the 319th Division had prepared them for training early in the morning, the two units met quickly.
The training force of the 319th Division is a battalion with more than 500 people. The battalion commander is a cadre named Chen Xin.
"Hello, Camp Commander Yang!" Camp Commander Chen shook my hand warmly.
Only then did I realize that Battalion Commander Chen also had a dark face, and not only Battalion Commander Chen, but also all of his cadres and even the soldiers were also like this.
Later I learned that this is actually a characteristic of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau...The air on the plateau is thin and ultraviolet rays are strong, so if you stay outdoors for a long time, it will naturally become as black as charcoal.
On the other hand, I found that the soldiers of this battalion seemed a little different from other troops. They looked at us as if they had seen us somewhere before, but they couldn't remember what these eyes meant.
After thinking about it carefully, I said "Oh". When we went to the battlefield as new recruits, the veterans looked at us like this.
In other words, they just look down on our synthetic camp.
This makes me feel a little incredible. With the name of our combined battalion, it is not well-known everywhere, and which troops are not looking up to us, but this first battalion actually looks down on us.
At first I thought this was because the information here was relatively closed, but later I realized that this was not the case... Chen Xin and others had actually heard some battle cases about our combined battalion. After all, they were all soldiers, and they were also guarding the border.
Soldiers who are likely to break out into war with the enemy. Soldiers in this state will be particularly interested in wars in other areas. This is to kill boring time or reduce stress. Secondly, they can also learn some lessons.
experience.
Therefore, although the information here is relatively limited due to transportation reasons, they have still heard about the performance of our combined battalion on the battlefield from the supply team or the soldiers who occasionally go home to visit relatives.
After hearing this, I was a little confused. If this is the case, why do they still look at us like this?!
Only later did I get the answer from Chen Xin...
"Alas, these rabbits!" Chen Xin cursed with some embarrassment when I asked about it: "They don't care how majestic the Hehe camp was in the past. In fact, they admire you in their hearts. Many of them talked after tea.
All we talk about is the combined camp, and I’m so happy to know that I can train with you. But we have a tradition, no matter how good you were before, as long as it’s the first time you return to this plateau, you are a recruit!”
I somewhat disagreed with this tradition, but I soon had to accept it.
The reason is very simple. Everything on the plateau is different from that on the plains... This may not have such a big impact on ordinary people, but for the troops who want to fight on the plateau, especially the troops who want to conduct special operations, then
It was like entering another world, another completely unfamiliar world.
In this world, we even have to relearn some of the tactics we originally knew. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
