Ouyang Zhijian said with palpitations: "If we hadn't prepared for a long time and carried out the construction of fortifications in advance, if we hadn't prepared anti-aircraft missiles to deal with them a long time ago, if they didn't disperse their forces to attack two airfields at the beginning, but concentrated their forces on attacking one, it would be difficult for us to persist even if we took a sneak attack." ”

Then, he said: "In terms of special warfare, we are indeed stronger than the US military, but in terms of conventional military strength, we cannot compare with the US military, and the US military is developing in all directions and surpasses our army in many aspects." Not to mention those advanced weapons, I think their tactics will take us a long time to learn. I don't even know when we'll catch up with them. ”

Guo Shucheng smiled and said, "What's the matter, you're timid?" ”

Ouyang Zhijian shook his head and said: "I don't have the guts, if my superiors want me to lead troops to fight the US army, I will go up without saying a word, even if I bite them, I will bite off a piece of meat on them." ......, chief, I just think that our army still has a lot to learn, and although our military strike force has made great progress, the gap with them is still not small. To defeat them, we will need to make more sacrifices, and we will need to sacrifice more of our warriors. Although we won the first battle this time, repelled the US troops, killed and wounded many US troops, in fact, there were more casualties on our side, if it were not for our desperate attempt to smash all the trump cards in our hands together and catch the US troops by surprise, there are doubts whether our side can hold on. ”

Guo Shucheng said lightly: "Our army has just begun to modernize, and the current comprehensive level is at most close to that of the US military during World War II, and our air force and navy are beyond our reach. But after all, we have already started, and as long as we immerse ourselves in hard training, there is still hope for catching up with or surpassing the US military. You don't have to worry too much. As you said, at this stage we can resist them even with human lives. ......, based on what you have learned in Grenada, what should we do to strengthen the building of the armed forces? ”

Ouyang Zhijian obviously also thought about these problems, and said: "I think we need to increase military spending by a large amount, vigorously strengthen the fighter equipment of our air force, and build a large number of aircraft carriers and other advanced warships for the navy." ”

Guo Shucheng frowned and said, "That's all? ......, we are now in full swing with economic construction, and all walks of life need a lot of money. Where is the money to make you a lot of planes, tanks, aircraft carriers? ”

Ouyang Zhijian said: "If we don't have these material bases, if we can only engage in millet plus rifles, how can we catch up with the combat effectiveness of the US military? I don't think it's okay to be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. Even if the equipment of the whole army cannot be improved, then it should create a navy and air force that is similar to that of the US military, such as an army and a fleet. ”

Guo Shucheng asked: "Aren't you weapon-only?" Is it possible that only advanced weapons can increase combat effectiveness? ”

Ouyang Zhijian immediately said: "I really am not weapon-only, I am seeking truth from facts, without advanced weapons, it is really difficult for us to close the gap with the US military." Heads. If you were in Grenada at the time, you knew that the precision-guided bombs were raining down, and the earth really shook the mountains, and we could feel the violent explosion even when we hid in underground bunkers dozens of meters deep. People can call from dozens of kilometers away. The root doesn't give us a chance to fight back. ”

Guo Shucheng asked: "Then you mean that our army has to compete with the US military, so that we can feel the strength of the US army, so that we can improve our combat effectiveness in a targeted manner?" ”

Ouyang Zhijian nodded and said, "I also hope that we will fight against them somewhere and see our shortcomings and advantages." I think there are quite a few people in our military who are blindly optimistic, thinking that we have a Jian-10 aircraft. With main battle tanks, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, we are invincible. Compared with the U.S. military, our strength is actually very, very weak, and we need to increase it vigorously. ”

Guo Shucheng said with a smile: "There are such situations you mentioned, but there are not many, at least I know that many higher-level leaders are soberly aware of the shortcomings of our army and know where our shortcomings are." Actually, it's not that your words are wrong, but that you don't say them to the point. Or maybe you said something about the operational characteristics of China and the United States, but you were a little reluctant to solve the problem. It is necessary to upgrade our weapons, but at the moment it is not the main thing, what is the main thing? ”

Ouyang Zhijian looked at Guo Zhuocheng blankly and asked, "I'm willing to ask for the end?" ......, should we learn from the rapid reaction capability of the US military, which can mobilize several aircraft carrier battle groups from around the world to Grenada in just two months, and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to the front line in a short period of time? Can...... But this also depends on a strong and fast fleet and transport. ”

Guo Shucheng said: "No, that's still a minutiae, your mind is still on weapons and equipment." Your ideal is to build a powerful mechanized army, and you still have your powerful tanks, advanced warplanes, and huge warships in mind. Of course, we must also pursue these things, and it is of course best to have them, but what we should improve and learn the most at present, and what we can immediately catch up with the US military, is the informationization of the armed forces. ”

Ouyang Zhijian asked puzzledly: "Informatization? What informatization? Is it to strengthen our army's communications capability and ensure that orders and enemy information are uploaded and issued accurately? Now that our army's communications technology has made great progress, and now that the communications equipment has been equipped to the squad, is it too wasteful to equip everyone with a radio talker? There's no need for roots. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "The communications you mentioned are only a small part, a very small part of the military's informationization. Communication is a must, but communication alone is not enough. The core of informationization is to make use of information technology and make use of limited resources in order to bring into play the greatest combat results.

This is too extensive, let me make it clear to you for a while, let me give you a simple example, that is, when you just said that when the US military discovers the enemy, it can quickly order the nearest artillery, missiles, aircraft, and even warships to bomb the target. Why are they able to carry out rapid strikes across units, services, and equipment? This is informatization.

On the one hand, they can quickly collect relevant intelligence with the help of their powerful staff capabilities, quickly make scientific judgments, and immediately draw up a strike plan under the condition of fully understanding the position, capability, and ammunition of their own troops, as well as the location and characteristics of enemy targets, and so on.

On the other hand, it is to use the powerful processing power of the computer system to make the best way to deal with it in an instant after receiving the coordinates and handling level of the target that needs to be attacked.

Do you understand? The former is what we are doing now, and the latter is what we are working on. The former looks easy, but in fact it is difficult to execute, or even the root cannot be executed. This is because it is very difficult to transfer equipment across units, services, and various types of equipment, especially the relevant descriptions are easy to get out of shape, and there is also the fact that each unit, each branch of the military, and each piece of equipment has its own tasks, interests, and standards.

The bunkers on the way of the army's attack are the most urgent enemy situation for the attacking, and they must be cleared as soon as possible, and if they cannot be cleared, they will shout to the artillery and air force behind them for help. For the troops who have just parachuted, the anti-aircraft machine gun position is their nightmare, and they must knock it out before they can land safely, and they will also urgently call for help from artillery and air force.

And the artillery may be hitting other targets and will not be able to cope with it for a while. It is also possible that the Air Force is reloading and staying on the deck of an aircraft carrier without taking off, and they do not know whether it is better to help the Army blow up the enemy's bunkers or the enemy's anti-aircraft machine gun positions first. It is not even known which kind of bomb to hang, because the ammunition for bombing bunkers and anti-aircraft machine gun positions is different.

Even a commander may not be able to make an accurate judgment for a while, because he needs to know a lot of information before making a decision. For example, did the previous task of the artillery be completed? Do they have the corresponding shells, can they interrupt the tasks they are performing, which blow will damage the army the most, and which target will affect the conduct of the battle even more.

It can be said that the coordination of the three armed services or even more branches of the armed forces is not a simple sentence, it is enough to say that each has its own responsibilities and goes all out under the orders of the commander, and there are many parameters to compare and many factors to consider. The fundamental purpose of the military's informationization construction is to enhance the army's core combat effectiveness, which includes information and structural strength.

Structural force refers to the scientific and rational integration of the armed forces' weaponry, military personnel, institutional establishment, and military theories as a result of the massive adoption of information technology. The so-called integration is to connect some scattered information with each other in a certain way, so as to realize the resource sharing and collaborative work of the information system.

Its main purpose is to combine the scattered elements together, and finally form a valuable and efficient whole, so that they can penetrate and interact with each other, and the resource sharing is combined and integrated together, so that they can play the greatest value through the combination. ……”

Listening to Guo Zhuocheng talk eloquently, Ouyang Zhijian felt like listening to a book from heaven, but he felt that what Guo Zhuocheng said was very reasonable. Although he didn't know how computers could make judgments and how to make optimal decisions, he knew how difficult it was to command across units, services, and equipment in the military. If one aspect is not well considered, not only will it not be able to hit the enemy, but it will be a friendly mistake.
