Chapter 29: Advantages (2)
"Then there's the issue of troops. &{}{}" I continued: "Our army is not strong enough in the Sino-Indian border, and now the ratio of our army to the Indian army is about one to eight, and the Indian army has an absolute advantage in numbers. What is even more severe is that once the soldiers on the plains are sent to the plateau, they will suffer from altitude sickness and various kinds of discomfort like us, which means that our army is basically unable to reinforce the plateau, and even if it is reinforced, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. This is very dangerous, once the war is raging, our army can only hope that the Indian army is not strong in combat, while our army can fight eight at a time, and even because of the problem of insufficient ammunition, every bullet must destroy one enemy. ”
Commander Zhang sighed: "Of course we know about this situation, but this is also a last resort, the people on the plateau live in poverty, and our army cannot get supplies from the people, so the supplies need to be transported." As you know, this is determined by our transportation conditions, in fact, these troops have almost reached the logistical ceiling now, and a few more troops are afraid that they will not be able to hold on. ”
Of course, I agree with this, every soldier needs the support of logistics supplies, so this is not to say that our army has no troops and no people, but the logistics supply of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau only allows us to station these troops.
In this respect, the Indian army's logistical supply on the plateau is much better than ours at present.
"So it's really necessary to build a railway." Then Commander Zhang nodded and said, "But to build such a railway...... It is conceivable that it will not be completed in a short period of time, but we are now facing a crisis. ”
I understand the meaning of Commander Zhang's words, although we have temporarily resolved the current crisis, we are very clear that this is only "temporary". If our army cannot threaten the Indian army on the border. It won't be long before the Indian side starts stirring up again.
"In the long run. The solution to this problem must be the establishment of transportation lines. I said, "But it's not like there's no way around the moment." ”
"Well, let's talk about it!"
"It can imitate the rotational warfare of our army on the Vietnamese side." I said: "That is, to take out a unit for rotation, which has several advantages, one is that the troops who have been stationed on the plateau for a long time can get proper rest, and even take advantage of the time they have left the plateau to update and train them in equipment or tactics." Second, more troops can be trained in plateau operations, and it is obvious that once there is a war in the future, these units that have been trained on the plateau will be able to adapt to plateau operations in the shortest possible time. ”
"Good way!" Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but shoot the case: "The most important thing is that. This method will not add to the logistical burden on the plateau, the total number of garrisons will remain the same, but it will be different if you really want to fight!
By the time I walked out of headquarters, it was already hours later.
In the past few hours, I have talked with Commander Zhang about many issues on the Sino-Indian border, including even the combat effectiveness and habits of the Indian army.
In fact, there is another point that I did not mention to Commander Zhang, that is, the issue of uniting with Pakistan to contain India.
This is actually the most important thing, and it can even be compared to the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau railway...... You must know that this is an attack on India from both east and west, which will undoubtedly make it difficult for India to deal with it.
The reason why I didn't say it was because Commander Zhang and others had actually noticed the importance of Pakistan, as I said before. Pakistan can not only contain India, but also an important passage for China to the oil countries of the Persian Gulf.
Otherwise. There is no doubt that this waterway will be easily blocked or harassed by coastal countries in wartime, such as Vietnam and India, which have friction with China, especially the United States, which is the potential biggest adversary in the future...... This guy is a sea power country, and its dozen or so aircraft carrier formations make it almost sideways on the ocean, so no matter who has such an opponent, they dare not count on the energy channel on the ocean.
But Pakistan is different, as it shares a direct border with Iran, an energy powerhouse, which means that it is not good...... The sea lanes are all blocked, and we can get enough energy from the 6th road through Guò Pakistan, but our Chinese People's Liberation Army has never been afraid of anyone on the 6th.
Therefore, Pakistan is not only a problem for our country to restrain India, but even a capital to compete with the United States in the future.
At this point, the United States is blind, you must know that Pakistan was originally also inclined to the United States, but the United States, an ally, favored India during the Third Indo-Pakistani War and withheld weapons and equipment that were originally to be delivered to Pakistan, which directly led Pakistan to believe that the United States and other Western countries are unreliable, while China is a sincere friend who does what it says.
However, this cannot be blamed on the United States, it was an era of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, and where would there be China in their eyes, a country that did not even have a few decent warships, so even if Pakistan became China's Pakistani railway, they did not care.
But the fact is that if they hadn't made a mistake back then, China would have been unable to compete with the United States at all, and would have been able to use a powerful navy to complete the sea route.
However, Commander Zhang and the others not only know this but are also doing it, so there is no need for me to say anything.
"Battalion commander!" When I returned to the headquarters, the instructor said to me, "In the few months we've been out, something big has happened. ”
"What's the big deal?"
"The Great Disarmament has begun." The instructor said, "It is said that ...... To disarm a million! ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but let out an "oh", and the secret path finally began.
In fact, this is nothing new to me, because I had long expected such a day.
I'm just wondering why Commander Zhang didn't tell me the news when I was at the headquarters just now.
But after thinking about it, it quickly became clear that it might be a good thing that Commander Zhang didn't tell me, because one of the messages he released to me was: This matter has nothing to do with you, and it doesn't matter if you know it or not.
You must know that we are a synthetic battalion, a synthetic battalion composed of the elite of the troops, a composite battalion that has made many achievements in battle formations, and it is also a composite battalion that provides tactical guidance for all troops.
But then again, many of the units that were laid off were those with outstanding military achievements, including those that performed well on the battlefields of Vietnam...... It's not that they didn't fight well, but the disarmament targets are too big, and a total of four million troops will be cut by one million, that is, a quarter! (To be continued!)
