Chapter 870: Operation "Perpetual Peace".

With the issuance of the official notice, the news that the 107th Regiment had withdrawn a battalion of troops to join the World Peace Force became public.

The 300-strong infantry battalion, together with a medical assistance team and a battalion of engineers, formed a new group of peacekeepers, ready to leave for South Sudan to succeed the previous group and continue the tasks assigned by the United Nations Military Mission in South Sudan (UNMAM) in South Sudan.

The peacekeeping infantry battalion of the 107th Regiment is composed of a battalion on the basis of a battalion, after all, Li Mu, as the deputy commander, is also the commander of the first battalion, and the first battalion can be regarded as his descendant to a certain extent, and the company commanders under his command are among the best high-quality young officers in the regiment.

Grouping is a thing that takes a lot of brain cells. The first battalion is the foundation, which means that there are some officers and soldiers in the first battalion who cannot participate in the peacekeeping force, and the elite from other battalion companies are drawn in to form a 300-man battalion.

That, in itself, is a hard trade-off.

But Li Mu didn't drag the mud and water at all - human favor is human favor, and task is supreme!

In accordance with the standards issued by the higher-level leading organs, no one outside the standards is allowed to participate, and those who meet the standards are carefully selected. It is common practice to base a group on a formed battalion basis, maintaining the combat effectiveness of a group. Otherwise, there will be many problems in the coordination of the temporarily organized infantry battalions.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to form a formed battalion as the basis.

Gu Jiu, Ricardo, and Liu Guisong sat together in the barracks at this time, and in their spare time, the soldiers all picked up the materials issued to study any situation about the peacekeeping forces.

Liu Guisong shook his head and read: "There are two distinct characteristics of the United Nations peacekeeping forces. First, it is non-mandatory, and the deployment and activities need to be decided by the Security Council or the General Assembly, with the consent of the parties concerned, and then authorized by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to organize the withdrawal of troops as soon as the Government requests it. Second, clear neutrality. Its members must come from countries that do not have a direct interest in the parties to the conflict. In carrying out their duties, United Nations peacekeeping forces must not use force without authorization, except in self-defence, must strictly observe neutrality, must not get involved in any party to the conflict, and must not interfere in the internal affairs of the United Nations peacekeeping forces. ”

"Hey, Grotto, you're at a high level, you can explain what it means. Liu Guisong patted the information book and said.

Ricardo didn't lift his head and said, "It's literal." ”

What does it mean literally. Liu Guisong said, "Last time, the deputy regiment said that the Crescent Brigade was there. You don't know about the Crescent Brigade, do you? It's all about them on the news during this time, and it's brutal. We can only defend ourselves, which means that unless they hit us, we can't do it, right?"

That's clearly what it means. "Gu Jiudao.

Liu Guisong was deflated all of a sudden, and said, "This doesn't mean tying your hands and feet, how to do it." I thought I had destroyed them. ”

"That's an internal affair. Isn't this very clear, you can't interfere in the internal affairs of the institute? Ricardo said.

Liu Guisong wondered, "That's not right. The US-British-French coalition bombed Libya before, didn't they interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?"

Ricardo looked at Liu Guisong in surprise, as if he was looking at a fool, Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, covered up a little, and continued to study the information in his hand.

"I said Guisong, you didn't eat breakfast well, did you, your brain lacks oxygen?" Ricardo said incredulously, "Which NATO countries do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries? Not to mention the Yankees, who can run five kilometers without interfering in the internal affairs of other countries." It's not the same as the peacekeepers, you know?"

Liu Guisong was stunned and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, it seems to be like this." Back then, I bombed our embassy and crashed into our military plane and seized my galaxy freighter, I-day-day, these gang-dogs-day-day-, don't let me see them, otherwise I will fight ten of them. ”

Ricardo and Gu Jiu were relatively speechless, shook their heads, lowered their heads and continued to study the information in their hands.

Gu Jiu took out the English booklet and read it stumblingly, and Ricardo corrected him from time to time. Basic knowledge of English is also necessary and is tailored to the situation and is tailored to the situation by the trainers sent by the diplomatic service.

In addition, all officers and soldiers participating in peacekeeping operations will receive a one-week training in diplomatic knowledge and other related knowledge. When going abroad for peacekeeping, the stakes are big, and every small detail and link must be done well to ensure that there are no problems.

Yang Qingsong was depressed for several days, this time the fire support battalion did not want a single soldier, and none of them were considered. There is no such thing as artillery in the peacekeeping infantry battalion, and in terms of caliber, the largest caliber is the 30-mm cannon mounted on the Type 09 eight-wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. As far as individual equipment is concerned, individual anti-armor missiles are not allowed to be carried, so whether it is an 80 mm caliber individual anti-tank rocket launcher or a 120 mm squad-level anti-tank rocket launcher, it is not considered.

And the 40 Fire, a veteran of the battlefield who has served for more than fifty years as a Chinese variant of the famous RPG, was wiped shiny by the big-headed soldiers and ready to be taken out.

Yang Qingsong is even willing, as long as he can go, even if he is allowed to fight 40 fires, he is willing. It's pitiful to think about it, the dignified artillery king of the military region, who is used to fighting 105 mm rifled guns, if he is reduced to playing with only 40 fires, it will not be a tragedy.

Relatively speaking, Hu Fengqi is much more comfortable.

He is a member of the tactical saber commando, and as far as weapons and equipment are concerned, there is no limit at all, because the weapons and equipment he will use at that time will all be weapons and equipment outside the establishment, and it can even be said that not even a single bullet will be domestic.

Of course, Li Fengxiang was in charge of gathering the members of the tactical saber commando team in the name of intensive training, and used the last month to conduct high-intensity urban special operations training, indoor tactical training, desert combat training, and rapid assault and rescue operations of small commandos, and other related combat training subjects.

All work is progressing in an orderly manner.

Lieutenant Colonel An Ran, head of the coordination group of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, led the members of the group to the 107th Regiment and met with Li Mu on the same day.

When Li Mu saw her, he was surprised as expected, and then he was relieved. The military's counter-espionage department has vast powers, and without an organization that they cannot go to, it is nothing to use the skin of the Ministry of National Defense, and even the skin of the diplomatic department can be used whenever they want.

Obviously, the intelligence support and support work of the tactical saber commando team will be taken care of by the team led by Enron. On the surface, they are, of course, the coordination group.

After the meeting, Li Mu and An Ran talked alone.

Li Mu said, "The first time I saw you wearing a military uniform, it felt very different. ”

A few years have passed, and An Ran is also a thirty-year-old woman, and the rank of lieutenant colonel and deputy regiment is not low in the military's counterintelligence department. You must know that the supreme commander of the military's counter-espionage department is only a major general, and Liu Weihong has been born and died for so many years, and he is only the director of the division at the level of a major correction.

"It's been a while since I've been wearing a military uniform, and it's a great feeling. An Ran subconsciously tidied up his clothes. For a person who likes military uniforms, wearing camouflage uniforms on the body feels very comfortable, and the whole body is full of strength and comfortable and transparent.

Li Mu asked the question he wanted to know the most, "How is Du Xiaofan?"

An Ran smiled and shook his head slightly, "I can't say." ”

Nodding slowly in understanding, Li Mu didn't ask again. As long as people are okay, there is nothing to worry about. There are several old brothers, and the only one who knows the service unit is Du Xiaofan. Zhao Yiyun, Shi Lei and Lin Yu, a few years have passed, and there is still no news.

Li Mu didn't believe that this was normal, he preferred to believe that it was intentional from above. After all, even if the missions carried out in those years were made public after 20 or 30 Chinese New Year's Eve, they would also arouse heated discussions in the international community.

"Deputy Head Li, before I came, I met with Minister Zhan, and the chief instructed me and my colleagues to provide you with support in intelligence and communications, and it will be under your leadership. An Ran said solemnly.

Li Mu bowed, "I received a notice from Minister Zhan, Lieutenant Colonel An, I wish us a smooth cooperation." ”

An Ran smiled and shook hands with Li Mu, "It should be, we will successfully complete all tasks under your leadership." ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Tell me about the situation over there." ”

"Yes. An Ran suppressed his voice and said, "There are five members of my intelligence and communication support team, including me, all of whom are elites selected from the bureau, and two of them have work experience in the Great Sudan region. In addition, our team is responsible for the coordination between the peacekeeping infantry battalion and the UNMIS command, including all external work of the peacekeeping infantry battalion. So, we can be open. In addition, in the South Sudan region, we have a field team. Team leader Tang Ming, I believe you already know each other. ”

Li Mu's brows jumped, "So, you know about our last rescue operation." ”

"The initial information was obtained by Tang Ming, and we passed it on to your War Intelligence Department. The strength of our counterintelligence department over there is too weak to undertake high-intensity rescue work. An Ran said, "This operation is also the cooperation between your War Intelligence Department and our counterintelligence department. ”

"With your help, I have more confidence. ”

The importance of intelligence and communications cannot be overstated. Efficient intelligence acquisition capabilities and rapid means of communication can completely determine the outcome of a campaign-level confrontation.

Li Mu asked, "There are seven members in your group. What about the other two?"

The coordination team that accompanied An Ran was a total of seven people, and An Ran had just introduced five people, including her, and she didn't mention the other two.

An Ran smiled and said casually, "The person who is the internal guard." Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ming will serve as an instructor for the peacekeeping infantry battalion and be your partner. Major Gao Decheng is the deputy leader of our group. ”

In the first impression, Li Mu had a bad impression of the thin and dry Wang Ming, and he didn't like Gao Decheng, who was very arrogant with his nostrils. I was a little suspicious that the two of them were from the second headquarters, but I didn't expect it to be true, and it was also the internal security department.

It's hard to find someone who likes the internal security department.

Dispatched to the peacekeeping infantry battalion as the second-in-command, stationed in the coordination team as the deputy leader, no matter how you say it, you can't find fault. But for Li Mu, who has always been accustomed to being unrestricted, if Wang Ming is not a good talker like Wen Chaoyang, it will be a very headache and depressing.

"Do you know them?" asked Li Mu.

An Ran shook his head, "It's the first time I've dealt with it." ”

Li Mu said, "I'll pay attention." ”

An Ran smiled and said, "Senior Colonel Guo Da, who is stationed at the headquarters of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, is the highest person in charge of our side, and you can communicate more with him." ”

Guo Da's person, Li Mu, heard Tang Jiu mention it, and he is also an official of the Ministry of National Defense, and he has been stationed in the United Nations peacekeeping force for a long time, and he has very high authority and status outside the country.

In this way, Senior Colonel Guo Da will cooperate with Li Mu's work, and after thinking about it, Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that a lot of energy would be wasted in dealing with internal frictions and contradictions, and he was even more worried about being restricted by some dogmatism.

After fitting in with the Enron team, as time went on, the rearmament work also came to an end.

The peacekeeping force stationed in South Sudan consists of a 300-member peacekeeping infantry battalion, a 35-member medical team and a 300-man manpower unit, totaling 635 personnel. As far as the command structure is concerned, Li Mu is the commander of the Chinese Joint Peacekeeping Force, which is the full name of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Stabilization Force, and is also the battalion commander of the peacekeeping infantry battalion.

In other words, including the medical team and the engineer battalion, all were under the command of Li Mu. Li Mu was under the command of Guo Da, and Wang Ming also served as the political commissar of the joint peacekeeping force as an instructor of the infantry battalion.

The peacekeeping infantry battalion has three combat companies, 36 combat vehicles, one support company, 12 combat support vehicles, and a number of service vehicles, including some second-generation warriors and civilian off-road vehicles that have been modified to a certain extent. When it arrives there, UNMISS will also be equipped with some means of transport.

All personnel and vehicles are painted in accordance with United Nations regulations, and soldiers wear blue Kevlar helmets, unarmed bands, etc.

In the light of past practice, the size of this peacekeeping force is simply too small. The number of soldiers in the infantry battalion is less than half of that of the previous batch, and the engineer battalion is also less than half of the number of soldiers, which is completely inadequate.

Internationally, the number of personnel in a standard infantry battalion is about 800 people. Therefore, the peacekeeping infantry battalions sent out by our army are usually strengthened and supplemented, because most of the infantry battalions of our army are far from reaching the level of 800 personnel in peacetime.

There are even some infantry battalions, and the number of people stationed in the camps in peacetime is only more than 300 people. Some of those who are not in place participate in various types of training, some go to other units for temporary posts, some go to various colleges and universities to study, and some take leave to visit relatives......

Li Mu was actually very puzzled, he asked Minister Zhan, but Minister Zhan did not answer clearly. However, there must be a reason for limiting the number of people to such death. He could only hope that there would be enough people in his hands. Because Minister Zhan mentioned in the information given to him that the Crescent Brigade threatened our oil company in South Sudan, the oil fields were often attacked, and there were already casualties.

The decision to send infantry units was made to protect the oil fields and petrochemical facilities from the threat of the Crescent Brigades. And, just three days ago, South Sudanese leaders publicly stated that UN peacekeepers had the right to allow "the use of all necessary means" and stressed that Chinese soldiers were "ready to fight back in the event of an attack on civilians and oil facilities." ”

The only people who can be used in his hands are the three hundred people of the 107th regiment, and Li Mu is really a little drumming in his heart.

After all the personnel, vehicles, and materials were prepared, and the leaders of the higher-level organs met with them, the peacekeeping operation, codenamed "Permanent Peace", was officially entered into the charter......
