When Tang Haifeng proposed the concept of special operations, it had not been long since the border self-defense counterattack began. At that time, the country still mainly fought with large corps. It was not until it encountered frequent attacks by enemy special operations forces that it had some understanding of special operations.
Pay attention and take measures to deal with it.
At that time, the country did not have special forces in the true sense, and it was only after the Gulf War that the formation of special forces began.
In 1991, when the United States defeated the Iraqi army to pieces, the top military officials paid close attention and were also shocked. The Iraqi army at that time had more combat experience and slightly more advanced technology than ours.
In 1990, Iraq had the most powerful army among Arab countries. Its total strength included 950,000 regular troops, 480,000 reserve troops, 5,600 tanks, 7,500 armored vehicles, 3,800 artillery pieces, and 770 combat aircraft. In addition,
Iraq also has 650,000 paramilitary troops. During the war, Iraq also mobilized the so-called People's Army of 8 million people, while Iraq's total population at that time was only 18.92 million.
At that time, Saddam believed that air combat could not play a decisive role and that victory or defeat had to be determined by a decisive battle on the ground. However, during the "Desert Storm" operation, under the guidance of ground special forces and the close cooperation of sea and air forces, the Iraqi army was
A fatal blow. The tanks of the Iraqi army were destroyed in the garage before they even entered the battlefield, and the fighter jets were blown up at the airport before they took off. In a classic military operation, the Americans showed the world the power of modern warfare.
Forms and combat modes.
It was precisely because of the Gulf War that countries around the world began to focus on developing their own special operations forces, but at that time, Tang Haifeng had already left the army.
Because Zhao Guobang personally supervised the matter, the efficiency was much higher than before. He quickly found the place where Tang Haifeng now lives. Tang Haifeng now lives in a small county called "Tong County".
"Tong County?"
Zhao Guobang looked at the address in his hand, sighed and said, "I didn't expect this old guy to actually live there. No wonder no one can find him."
"Wild Wolf, do you know that place?" Yunyue asked Zhao Guobang.
"I know." Zhao Guobang replied: "When our troops retreated, they came back from Tong County. I still remember that when we were less than five kilometers away from the border, we were ambushed. Old Tang's leg
It was blown apart by a cannonball during that encounter."
Tong County is a remote mountain county close to the border. The transportation there is very underdeveloped. There are even few bus lines, let alone an airport. Therefore, Zhao Guobang, Yunyue, and Zhao Tianyu can only land at
Go to the airport in the provincial capital where Tong County is located, and then take a bus from the provincial capital to Tong County.
Zhao Guobang only notified the local civil affairs department, but did not notify the local armed department, otherwise there is no telling how big the battle would be. Zhao Guobang, Zhao Tianyu, Yunyue and others only came to visit Tang Haifeng in a private capacity this time.
Don't want to alarm too many people.
Although this is an urban area, it still feels backward and undeveloped, not to mention compared with first-tier cities, even some second- and third-tier cities.
Nowadays, many people choose the subway as a convenient and cheap way to travel. However, in this provincial capital, there is no subway at all, and even taxis are very few. The main means of transportation is the bus, and it is still relatively
Old, old-fashioned buses that are as hot as an oven in the summer and as cold as a refrigerator in the winter without air conditioning.
The person in charge of the civil affairs department who came to the airport to pick up the plane was the person in charge, and he even drove a Santana to pick him up. There were only two Santanas in the entire provincial town civil affairs bureau, which were not used at ordinary times. They were only used when provincial leaders came to the county for inspections.
These two Santanas will be brought out for use only when the time comes.
The head of the civil affairs department who came to pick up the plane pulled on his old suit to make the wrinkled suit look smoother, and walked towards Zhao Guobang, Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue who came out of the arrival exit.
"Hello, I'm from the Civil Affairs Bureau. My surname is Huang, and my single name is Lun."
Huang Lun stretched out his hand to Zhao Guobang, who was walking in the front, but he still seemed a little embarrassed when introducing himself. This can't be blamed on Huang Lun. In fact, the three people standing in front of him today were of too high a level. Even if they were provincial
As time goes by, it becomes impossible to remain completely calm and calm in front of Zhao Guobang.
"Hello." Zhao Guobang shook hands with Huang Lun and asked, "Have you found Tang Haifeng's specific address?"
"I found it, I found it." Huang Lun handed the paper he had prepared to Zhao Guobang and said, "This is the address of Tang Haifeng you are looking for. We have prepared a reception banquet. After eating, I will send you there.
"
The name Tang Haifeng is so common. There are only eight hundred if not one thousand people in the city. So when Zhao Guobang first asked to find Tang Haifeng, the local civil affairs department was also confused. There were so many people named Tang Haifeng in the city. How did they know who the higher ups were looking for?
Which Tang Haifeng was it? It wasn't until Zhao Guobang provided a photo taken during the self-defense counterattack that the local civil affairs department found this Tang Haifeng based on the photo.
"No need." Zhao Guobang said: "If possible, you can lend us your car and we will go there directly. If it is inconvenient, it doesn't matter. We will find a way to go there ourselves."
"Convenient, convenient, of course convenient." Huang Lun quickly took out the car keys and handed them to Zhao Guobang. At the same time, Huang Lun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Guobang and the others did not need to pick up Feng Yan.
In fact, Huang Lun didn't prepare for the feast at all. The civil affairs department here is completely Qingshui Yamen, and there is not much public funds. Otherwise, the entire civil affairs bureau would not have only two Santanas that have traveled 200,000 kilometers and have not been scrapped. What's more, really
Wanting to eat with the three people in front of him, Huang Lun was also Alexander. Now that the other party refused, not only was he left with a sum of money, but he also didn't have to bear the suffocating pressure. He just accepted the plane and asked Huang Lun
The shirt inside the suit was soaked with sweat.
In the parking lot, Zhao Tianyu started the car and looked at the mileage of the car, and said: "Oh, it's already 210,000 kilometers, it's really an antique."
"The development here itself is lagging behind." Zhao Guobang put on his seat belt and said: "They are willing to drive to pick us up instead of taking a taxi. They already value us."
Yunyue, who was sitting in the back row, entered the address on the paper into his mobile phone and wanted to navigate through it, but then he was dumbfounded.
