Originally, I thought I could relax on the front lines for a while......

In fact, this kind of leisure is actually a sin for us, because all the soldiers on the front line are busy fighting with the Yue devils, especially the reconnaissance brigade is the most active during this time, and our synthetic battalion has nothing to do in the name of a training reconnaissance brigade.

It doesn't matter if you are idle in the rear base, out of sight and out of mind, it doesn't matter if you don't see other fighters fighting with the Yue devils, but now when you compare it, this is not a taste in your heart.

However, this idle time was not long, and a few days after I returned from Ruili, Commander Zhang sent a telegram to summon us back.

Now it makes me difficult.

The only thing recalled by telegram was our synthetic battalion, but there was no reconnaissance brigade. That is to say...... Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, who directly commanded and trained the reconnaissance brigade, had to stay on the front line.

In this regard, I also sent a telegram to Commander Zhang to confirm the question of whether the reconnaissance brigade would stay or not, and the reply I received was: "The reconnaissance brigade is very good, and if it continues to stay on the front line, they will be responsible for the training of the reconnaissance brigades of other military regions." ”

So I had no choice but to summon the Chen sisters to the office.

"Looks like you're going to have to stay on the front line a little longer!" I casually handed the telegram to them: "This is an order from the superiors, and the synthetic battalion has another task to return to Beijing!" ”

"Insist on obeying orders!" Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao stepped forward one by one.

In fact, I believe it is exactly what they want, because they are bent on revenge......

"Comrade Chen Yiyi, Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao!" Thinking of this, I said earnestly: "You must understand that we are a revolutionary team. We are fighting on the front lines for the sake of the motherland and the people. So you should relax your mindset. Don't bring personal grudges into the army, otherwise it may affect your judgment, and you will make mistakes, understand? ”

My words almost made the Chen sisters laugh, but they looked at me with a straight face, and finally forced a smile and responded: "Yes".

The reason why I do this and say this is to send a message to them that I am on business in this regard and will not be biased by my feelings with them.

But in fact, I believe in the personalities of Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to restrain them with orders or military law, so before I left, I also explained to Xu Liangbin: In case the Chen sisters give an obviously inappropriate order, delay the time and report it to me.

After that, I flew back to the base in Beijing with the synthetic battalion.

At first, I didn't know why Commander Zhang was in such a hurry to summon us back, but I understood it when I saw the Black Hawk helicopter flying "suddenly" in the air in the jeep...... It turned out that it was the Yankees who supported our Black Hawk helicopter and arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the headquarters, Commander Zhang laughed and said: "You may have seen it, the Yankees sold us twenty-four Black Hawk helicopters in one go, and they are also an improved version, with increased engine thrust, and the shooting window and machine gun mount have been optimized design, and the performance is even better than the Black Hawk used by the Yankees!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

I'm not surprised. This is not to say how good the Yankees are to us, on the one hand, because most of these things have a late-mover advantage in weapons and equipment. That is, when the weapon is used, some shortcomings will be found in actual combat, so the more advanced the equipment is later. On the other hand, the reason why the United States spares no effort to support us in this way is entirely for us to act as the vanguard of the Soviet Union...... This is not just an exchange of interests between countries.

"This helicopter can be said to be the most advanced helicopter in our army at present!" Commander Zhang casually handed me a stack of materials and said, "This is the information of the Black Hawk helicopter, you take it to study it carefully, and be familiar with the use of this helicopter!" ”

"Commander!" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning: "Do we have any place where we need to use Black Eagle?" ”

It is not surprising that Commander Zhang would give us this task, after all, our synthetic battalion is now the only unit that has its own helicopter squadron and has conducted helicopter training and participated in actual combat.

However, it would be a bit strange to familiarize us with the use of the Black Hawk.

Commander Zhang nodded, and said with a heavy face: "There is a problem on the Sino-Indian border, it is reported that an Indian intelligence agency sent a small force to sneak across the McMahon Line to collect intelligence, and there are signs of being stationed for a long time, they always withdraw in summer and winter, for two consecutive years, and India has continued to increase troops along the border, and now there are two divisions of troops." ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this.

I have heard about this in modern times, and many people only know that China and India had two military conflicts in the 60s, of which the Sino-Indian War in 62 years was even more demoralized, but not many people know about the Sino-Indian conflict in the 80s.

The main reason for this is that the conflict in the eighties was just a conflict, and it did not end up with a large-scale war.

This point is actually very easy to understand, on the one hand, India is a country where everyone from the prime minister to the common people suffers from strict arrogance, and it is a country that does not know how many pounds and taels it has, and it thinks that it is very difficult to drag itself with a little weapons and equipment, and does not take others seriously at all.

That's what it was like in '62...... You must know that at that time, China had just finished fighting to resist US aggression and aid Korea (the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ended in 1953), and on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, China basically singled out the United Nations forces of more than a dozen countries led by the United States with the strength of one country, and it also won the victory under the condition that the gap in weapons and equipment was quite large.

After this battle, the whole world was impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers, and even the US military sighed: Whoever dares to be the enemy of the Chinese army is a fool.

Moreover, the Chinese army has also begun to reequip the 56 and a half and 56 Chong since 56, and by 62 the first-line troops have been heavily equipped (the first-line troops have been reequipped in 68 years, and the second-line troops have begun to be reequipped in 70 years).

If the Indians were clever enough, as long as they analyzed these circumstances on the whole, they would know that the Chinese army at that time was a unit with combat experience and advanced individual weapons (at that time, the 56 and a half and 56 Chong were relatively advanced individual weapons), and it was absolutely impossible to fight lightly in the face of such a force.

On the contrary, the state of the Indian army is not flattering...... The withdrawal of the British commander made the Indian high-caste soldiers rise to the rank of commander without military merits, and there were many contradictions within the army, and the rifle used by the Indian army was also the Enfildra bolt rifle used by the British army in World War II, and the firepower was completely different from the 56 and a half and 56 punches of the Chinese army.

However, even in this situation where a discerning person can see at a glance which is stronger and which is inferior, the Indians are still arrogant and think that they are the third in the world after the United States and the Soviet Union, and that they still regard themselves as the boss of Asia...... The Indians still think that our country is afraid of them by proposing peaceful construction.

Needless to say, several divisions of Indian troops were chased and beaten by one or two regiments of Chinese troops, and countless Indian soldiers and equipment were captured.

However, it is precisely because of this that India takes this history as a shame in its heart, and also suffers from intermittent episodes of Langjiu syndrome, and from time to time wants to give China such a shame. As a result, it is common sense that the Sino-Indian border will be unstable.

On the other hand, I think India is only afraid that at this time, India is also looking at our country at a time when internal and external troubles are waiting to be rejuvenated, so it wants to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity...... This is actually very normal, and what countries talked about before was interests, and because of this, fists are the last word in the international arena.

"According to our analysis...... Commander Zhang continued, "this is related to the fact that the Indian army is newly equipped with Soviet Mi-26s, so it is ready to move." ”

"Oh!" When I heard that, I understood a little.

As a pseudo-military fan, I still know a little about Mi-26.

In fact, it is not a gunship like the Mi-24, but a heavy transport helicopter.

But don't think that transport helicopters are not as important as gunships, in fact transport helicopters are much more important than gunships on certain battlefields.

The China-India border is a typical ...... The Sino-Indian border is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of four or five thousand meters, and transportation in this area is extremely difficult, not to mention automobile transportation, and the road is long and dangerous, compared with the mountain roads in Afghanistan. In terms of helicopters, none of China's current helicopters can be used at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.

Now, of course, there is, and that's the Black Hawk helicopter.

Obviously, in this terrain the combat logistics supply is the most important thing...... Without bullets and food, no matter how many troops there are, it is nonsense.

This issue was originally a difficult problem for both China and India, and it is precisely for this reason that the Chinese side has always paid attention to opening a highway to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its fundamental purpose is to solve the security problem on the border, and in modern times it has also opened up a Qinghai-Tibet Railway with a length of nearly 2,000 kilometers.

There is a lyric that sings like this: "Get on the train and go to Lhasa to see the magical Potala ......".

It is conceivable that if all the railways are opened, then strategic materials can be transported to the front line quickly and in large quantities.

But that was decades later, and now we are still faced with the problem that India's ability to transport on the border is significantly superior to that of our army after it has Mi-26 heavy helicopters.

So I knew why our country was in a hurry to introduce the Black Hawk and familiarize us with it. (To be continued......)
