Chapter Thirty-Six: The Yin Mountain
After all, this is a political issue that is greater than a military issue, and it is inconvenient for me to participate too much in political affairs. **
Later I learned that our side had put some effort into receiving Soviet passengers...... First, with the assistance of the Soviet ambassador, they were persuaded to get off the plane, and then they took a hot bath, arranged comfortable accommodation, and ate hearty Chinese food, and considering that most of the Soviet passengers did not bring winter clothes, and each of them was given a set of warm down jackets, and the children could also get a lot of snacks and sweets, fifty-one hours later, many Soviet passengers said that it would be good if they could stay for a few more days before being picked up by the Soviet plane.
As for the hijacked plane, on the one hand, our side dispatched armed police and public security to keep it strictly guarded, and on the other hand, we transferred several bulldozers and road rollers to create a runway for this small plane, and after more than 60 hours of the incident, the plane was accepted by the personnel sent by the Soviet side and then flew back.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but envy these Soviet devils...... Niangdi, if the same thing happened to our own people, maybe we wouldn't have such treatment and efficiency. You must know that these guys are all Soviets, and they are still our enemies, so it's good not to show them a face, and there are such conditions.
But then again, doing this little thing out of the national interest is actually nothing, and the imbalance in my heart only proves that I am not suitable for the path of politics...... I can't understand things with personal feelings, and I still focus on personal feelings when I look at problems.
It is conceivable that in the near future, China and the Soviet Union will take advantage of this opportunity to engage in dialogue and exchanges, thereby easing the relations between the two countries that have deteriorated for decades.
Meanwhile. The disarmament policy within our armed forces is also proceeding in a step-by-step manner.
I don't know what the rest of the place is. All I know is that our base is always enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere.
Daytime. We can often see teams of soldiers being carried away by truckloads after saying goodbye to their comrades. At night, all corners are full of warriors wandering around the base...... I think they must be soldiers who have already known about being laid off and have not left the barracks for a while, and they are just wandering around the base just to remember the place where they once lived and trained, or to stay here for a while.
In this respect, the impact of disarmament on the morale of the troops is certainly there, but it is the way to go...... After the labor pain, I believe that the troops' combat effectiveness will not be reduced, but will be significantly improved. The reason for this is simple: I lighten the load for myself. As described by the superiors, this is "swelling".
This atmosphere could affect the Synthesis Camp at first, but within a few days, the Synthesis Camp saw it as a norm.
On the one hand, this is because of habit, and on the other hand, it is also because the soldiers know that the only way to avoid being laid off like other troops is to adjust their mentality and concentrate on training...... At this time, we have implemented the last elimination system, and we have really eliminated a few members of the synthetic battalion.
"How's the Synthetic Camp acclimatization going?" On this day, Commander Zhang called me to his office and asked.
"Report to the Commander!" I replied, "The warriors are almost recovered!" ”
"Hmmm! Very good! Commander Zhang nodded.
"Commander, is there any mission?" I asked.
"That's right." Commander Zhang said: "You should have felt some of the negative atmosphere brought about by disarmament. ”
"Yes." I replied, "But I believe that this is only temporary, and that morale will soon recover after the reorganization." ”
"This is true for the troops in the rear." Commander Zhang said: "But ...... to the front"
When I heard this, I had some understanding, and I had to know that the Kunming Military Region was going to be merged into the Chengdu Military Region. This means that the Kunming District will soon be gone, and many troops of the Kunming Military Region are still fighting against the Vietnamese devils on the front line. The impact on morale is not like the rear, which can be used for training and time recovery.
"Although we have not yet disarmed the troops on the front line for the time being for morale reasons, it is inevitable that some negative thoughts will appear." Commander Zhang frowned: "And the Vietnamese side has obviously heard the rumors, and seized this opportunity to lead skirmishes and special operations on the border, especially in the Lao Son area, the Vietnamese army even threatened to recapture Lao Shan for a long time." ”
I couldn't help but be silent when I heard this, which was something I hadn't thought about before.
However, this psychology of the soldiers is understandable, because as a soldier, the reason why they can fight bravely on the front line is because of the defense of the country on the one hand, and a sense of honor on the other hand.
This sense of honor includes both individual and collective values, which is not difficult to understand...... As individuals, when we return to the rear after winning a battle, or when we go home on vacation to face our parents and fellow villagers, we can proudly tell them about our achievements and our hardships on the front line. To put it simply, what we do will be recognized and praised by society, and from this we will get a kind of psychological satisfaction.
But what if we cease to be a soldier in the future? So what's the point of fighting?!
The sense of collective honor is even more so, each unit has its own history, and it also has its own heroes, and it is these histories and heroes that have forged the military soul of this army. In peacetime, whether it is training or fighting, the soldiers compete with other units in companies and even squads and platoons.
But if the serial number is going to be revoked, where is the cohesion of a force?
This is a very real problem, and it is precisely for this reason that many people believe that the Chengdu Military Region should be merged into the Kunming Military Region rather than the Kunming Military Region being merged into the Chengdu Military Region.
As a matter of fact, the higher authorities did decide to merge the Chengdu Military Region into the Kunming Military Region at the beginning, but it was only at the last minute that they decided to merge the Kunming Military Region into the Chengdu Military Region because of consideration of the overall strategic issues.
"That's why ......," said Commander Zhang, "we decided to fight a battle at this time, and the target is here......"
Saying that, Commander Zhang pointed to a location on the map and said, "Zheyin Mountain!" ”
"Zheyin Mountain." This place name is familiar to me even in modern times, because it is called "two mountains" alongside the old mountain.
The so-called "two-mountain round battle" refers to the fact that the major military regions of our army took turns to fight and carried out concentrated operations with the Vietnamese army on Lao Son and Zheyin Mountain.
"Our idea is to ......," Commander Zhang continued, "After taking Zheyin Mountain, we will have a large enough battlefield in the area of Laoshan, that is, Laoshan and Zheyin Mountain. At the same time, our military units have just undergone disarmament 'swelling,' and each military region needs a battlefield to test its combat effectiveness, so we will use these two heights to cooperate with the disarmament policy of our troops in the future. ”
In fact, this is to use the two mountains to train troops, and the purpose of being a soldier is to fight, so the best way to test the troops is, of course, war.
"Still." Then Commander Zhang said heavily: "Considering the negative thinking of the current front-line troops, we need to fight a beautiful reconquest battle on the front line, on the one hand, it is to boost the morale of our army, and on the other hand, it is also to shock the Yue devils who are about to move, so this battle needs you to cooperate, is there a problem?" ”
"No problem." I immediately responded.
I know why Commander Zhang spoke so heavily this time, not because we formed a battalion, but for those soldiers who were still sticking to the front line, because he felt ashamed, he felt sorry for them, seeing that they were about to merge and even some people were going to be laid off, but he still had to let them fight again.
But in fact, I don't think Commander Zhang has to do this at all, because he didn't do anything wrong, his superiors didn't do anything wrong, and the soldiers on the front line didn't do anything wrong...... All of this is just for the purpose of building an army, for building an army that "can fight when it comes, and will win in battle".
Our country has experienced too much humiliation and too much inequality in the past 100 years, and all of this is due to the fact that there is no army that "will win in war". The phrase "if you fall behind, you will be beaten" is like a brand deeply engraved in the hearts of every Chinese.
It is precisely because of this that we must make up our minds to build a modern army. What pays the price for this is every soldier who fights on the front line, every soldier who is laid off, every military family member who silently supports us behind the scenes, and even every civilian.
"You have three days." Finally, Commander Zhang sighed and said, "Further do a good job of adaptability training, and come out on time in three days." You must remember that the purpose of this battle is not only to recover Yinshan, but also to boost morale and unite the morale of the army, as well as shock the Vietnamese army, so this battle must be fought beautifully! ”
"Yes!" I answered.
When I returned to the camp, I immediately passed on the order and prepared the soldiers to fight in Vietnam.
It's a bit different from what I used to do, and I would only let them know at the last minute...... This is for the sake of secrecy on the battlefield, otherwise if a little wind leaks out, then there will be big problems on the battlefield.
But this time, I hope that the soldiers of the synthetic battalion will be more mentally prepared, after all, they have just come down from the plateau and are a little unfamiliar with fighting in the plains.
Of course, I didn't give much information to them, but I just said that I would be on my way to the front line in Vietnam in three days, and I didn't need to say much about what I was going to do.
Another reason is that I hope that the Vietnamese side will get the news that the synthetic battalion is about to go to battle, and it is better to send their agents as well. (To be continued!)
