If the southwestern border of China is unstable, and the military threat posed by the Soviet Union on the northern border is not lifted, the concerns of foreign investors in mainland China will not be eliminated. To a certain extent, it has a great negative impact on the comprehensive implementation of reform and opening up.

Since the second batch of 24 F14A Tomcat heavy carrier-based fighters, 24 AH1W Super Cobra helicopter gunships, 24 UH60 Black Hawk attack helicopters, 10 C130H military transport planes, five KC135 air tankers, and three E2 Hawkeye early warning planes provided by the United States were delivered to the Huaxia Air Force at the end of May, the Soviet Union once again transferred two mechanized corps and one aviation division from Europe to strengthen the strength of the Far Eastern Military District.

The first batch of 24 F14As has been stationed at the Tianshui Air Base in Gan Province, the Sixth Aviation Division of the Northwest Military Region of China.

Under the training of US pilots, some elite pilots of the Sixth Air Division can already fly the F14 to take off and cruise, but they are still far from forming a real combat effectiveness.

The Soviet Union's move to reinforce its military strength in the Far East by transferring troops from Europe made the US and British governments secretly happy.

The torrent of steel deployed by the Soviet Union in Europe has long made Western European and other countries fearful, and at the same time, it has also put pressure on the US and British governments.

In total, the Soviet Union deployed nearly five million troops in Europe, one million of which were the most elite guards armored units of the Soviet Union.

It is precisely because the Soviet Union deployed such a huge military force in Europe that the Cold War pattern between the United States and the Soviet Union has become more and more aggravated.

Now, in order to obtain the third-generation nickel-based single crystal alloy, the US government has tried to provide a batch of US military equipment in active service to the Chinese government, but it never thought that it would really change the original military deployment of the Soviet Union.

This situation is certainly something that the US and British governments are happy to see. At this moment, the US and British governments are secretly pondering whether it is necessary to increase military aid to China. Perhaps the Soviet Union could once again transfer more troops from Europe to the Far East and form a military confrontation with the Chinese army.

Of course, Yang Weiping would not further stab the Soviet Union, and he had already made a suggestion to the No. 1 chief. We don't need fighter jets, helicopter gunships and other equipment, unless the Americans give it away for nothing. But. The U.S. military's C5 large transport plane, you can consider asking them how many they want.

At the time when all the enterprises under the Huaxia First Aviation Industry Group were operating in accordance with the direction of development he had set, the day of the military confrontation exercise agreed upon by Yang Weiping and the Southern Military Region had also arrived unconsciously.

This is a quasi-combat exercise without any plan. Except that the ammunition is replaced with empty cartridges, the rest is no different from actual combat.

The preset battlefield for the exercise was a subtropical primeval jungle about 150 kilometers from the southwestern border of China and Vietnam.

The two warring sides have a temporary determination of this jungle battlefield by Yang Weiping. are not familiar.

The ultimate purpose of Yang Weiping's military exercise was to make the Chinese Army understand whether the outdated tactical thinking of the World War II period that the Chinese Army is currently following in the jungle terrain can still be effective.

The background of the battlefield is a small enemy detachment that has infiltrated our territory in an attempt to sabotage major strategic facilities of our army. After being discovered by our army, a kind of pursuit was besieged in this subtropical rainforest with a radius of more than 500 miles.

Our army sent the 385th Regiment under the 121st Motorized Infantry Division under the 41st Group Army of the Southern Military Region to go deep into the jungle and make sure to wipe out all the enemy's small forces within a week.

The 385th Regiment is one of the top ace main regiments in the Southern Military Region. The honorary title is the Tiger Regiment. The regiment commander Yue Zhongwang has now been holding back his anger, and the exercise has been going on for two days, and not only have they failed to catch this group of enemy troops, but they have lost more than 100 officers and men by "killing them."

He had just been scolded by Monk Xu, commander of the Southern Military Region, who was personally in command. The total number of enemy troops was only 30, and the 1,500 people in their entire regiment did not feel the shadow of the other party now, and they were actually reimbursed by the exercise director group for almost one reinforced company. How did this not make Xu Shangyou angry and furious.

No, Yue Zhongwang had just made a military order to Xu Shangyou at the regiment headquarters, and if he didn't destroy this group of cunning and stubborn enemies within three days, he automatically asked the company to feed the pigs.

It is impossible for Xu Shangyou not to get angry, because Yang Weiping is now also in the exercise command center, and he is smiling and drinking tea with Xu Shangyou.

As early as three months ago, when Xu Shangyou went to Beijing to face the saint, he heard the No. 1 leader mention this military confrontation exercise, and heard that there was only a small army of 30 people to challenge him to a main regiment, so angry that Monk Xu almost scolded his mother on the spot.

In the past three months, he has personally gone down to the grassroots level many times to grasp the military training of the troops, so that none of the officers and men of the 41st Group Army and the 42nd Group Army dare to drop the chain in terms of training.

There is no way, now all the equipment distribution rights of the whole army are in the hands of Director Xiao Yang of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and this military exercise was proposed by Director Xiao Yang on his own initiative. In case a main force loses to a small army of thirty points at that time, it will not only lose the face of his great monk, but also the face of the entire Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Originally, Xu Shangyou wanted to give Yang Weiping a dismissal, and planned to wipe out the 30-person Blue Army within one day. Who would have thought that the progress of the battle situation was not controlled by him at all, and this jungle operation could not carry out large-scale troops to encircle and suppress at all.

It is said that the Chinese People's Liberation Army was born in guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and it is also an expert in this regard, but on the surface, the blue army seems to be playing guerrilla warfare, but their tactical coordination is simply extremely fine, and the battlefield is extremely well-informed. It seems that the deployment and transfer of the 385 regiment are well understood.

It was a makeshift field command center on the edge of the jungle.

In the military tent, Yang Weiping, like Xu Shangyou, was wearing a 65-style military uniform, although the temperature was hot and humid, the wind and discipline buckles were also tightly buttoned.

Xu Shangyou loves to drink Moutai, which is famous throughout the army. However, the amount of alcohol that is partial to Yang Weiping is really not on the table, and he basically belongs to the category of getting drunk when he gets drunk. Therefore, Xu Shangyou could only be very depressed to accompany the young director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in front of him, brewed a pot of red robes, and chatted while drinking tea.

"I said, Director Xiao Yang, are you really so confident that my people won't be able to catch your small mercenary army?" Xu Shangyou was obviously a little psychologically confused by the calm and confident look on Yang Weiping's face.

"Commander Xu, jungle warfare, there are too many comprehensive factors in all aspects, and each of them may be the trigger for failure. Yang Weiping smiled confidently: "I'm now pondering how many officers and soldiers of the 385th Regiment will have non-combat attrition because they are not adapted to the jungle environment after today." ”

Xu Shangyou's old brows furrowed, and he suddenly shouted loudly outside: "Zheng Zhijun!"

"Here, chief. A tall, sturdy young officer, about twenty-four or five years of age, appeared at the door of the tent.

"Call me Chen Keming, the political commissar of the 385th regiment, immediately!" Xu Shangyou said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Zheng Zhijun took the order and turned around and walked away quickly.

After a while, hurried footsteps came from outside the military tent, followed by the loud voice of a middle-aged man: "Report to the commander, Chen Keming, political commissar of the 385th Regiment, was ordered to arrive." ”

"Come in!" Xu Shangyou said with a straight face.

A middle-aged officer in his forties walked in with his head held high, strode in front of Xu Shangyou and Yang Weiping, and saluted: "Hello chief!"

Yang Weiping and Xu Shangyou casually raised their hands to return the salute, and Xu Shangyou asked with a calm face: "How many people in the 385 regiment are now showing symptoms of not adapting to water and soil?"

"Report to the commander, as of an hour ago, a total of 352 officers and men of our regiment have basically lost their combat effectiveness due to vomiting and diarrhea, colds and fevers. Chen Keming replied with a look of shame in his eyes, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head.

"Director Yang, did you expect this situation a long time ago?" Xu Shangyou asked with a solemn look at Yang Weiping.

"Fighting in the subtropical rainforest will be a new proposition for our army, which has not fought for more than a decade. Yang Weiping nodded solemnly and said: "Commander Xu, the Vietnamese monkey in the south, when he fought with the U.S. army, he mastered rich experience in jungle warfare and wilderness survival through actual combat. ”

Xu Shangyou nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Chen Keming, "How is the battle progressing now?"

"Before I came, I had just received news from the director team that the third company of the second battalion of our regiment had strayed into a minefield set by the enemy and had announced that they would withdraw from the exercise. Chen Keming pulled his head and replied in a low voice.

"In other words, our army has been wiped out by the enemy more than a hundred people?" Xu Shangyou asked in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Chief. Chen Keming nodded and replied.

"The latest war briefing!" The voice of the director team came from the radio station of the military tent: "Ten minutes ago, a small detachment of the Blue Army disguised itself as personnel of our army and raided the field hospital of our army, and all the military doctors and nurses in the hospital, including 352 sick and wounded soldiers, were all killed and withdrew from the exercise. ”

"What a ruthless method!" Xu Shangyou said through gritted teeth.

"After the outbreak of war, the enemy will be even more ruthless. Yang Weiping said indifferently: "This situation fully exposes the serious loopholes in our army's current defense and vigilance work of the rear field hospitals. Now that the field hospital of the 385th Regiment is gone, their wounded soldiers will not be able to receive timely treatment, and the combat attrition will be even worse. ”

This exercise was completely a simulated actual combat in which Yang Weiping made use of the complex terrain of the jungle in a targeted manner in light of the many weaknesses and loopholes exposed by our army in the course of the counterattack against Vietnam.

Yang Weiping clearly remembered that after the war against Vietnam began, the special forces of the Vietnamese army repeatedly penetrated deep into our territory in camouflage and launched bloody sabotage operations. Among them were several field hospitals where there were raids and massacres of our troops. (To be continued.) )
