Chapter 538: Go south again to join the war?
Malong Military Training Base.
Six combined brigades are training.
If the six combined brigades conduct military exercises at the Malong Military Training Base, it will be very crowded and they will not be able to perform.
But if it is just training, there will be no problem.
Originally, according to the previous plan, they would use the camps of other streamlined troops, but those camps have not been used for several years and they are a bit desolate, and the training grounds have to be rebuilt.
So Li Fuguo, Zhao Guoping and others decided to squeeze in the Malong Military Training Base for training.
After the Zhurihe Training Base is completed, they will move to the Zhurihe Training Base.
The Zhurihe Training Base is a full 5,000 square kilometers in size, not to mention three combined brigades, even six combined brigades will not be a problem.
However, at least one combined brigade will be transferred to the Zhurihe Training Base by the end of next year, and as for the completion of the whole base, it will be in 1990.
Even if a large amount of funds are invested, it will not be completed so quickly because the Zhurihe Training Base is too large, a full 5,000 square kilometers in size, and the standard is no less than that of the Malong Military Training Base.
After the addition of new soldiers and the support of cadres from above, the six combined brigades are now fully staffed.
However, the weapons and equipment will have to wait for a while.
After all, the weapons and equipment produced by Panshan Group are given priority for export, then delivered to the troops, and finally equipped to the combined brigades.
And for now, the priority is to equip the heavy combined brigade "Hu Ben Brigade".
Because in 1987, the "Hu Ben Brigade" will be a garrison in Hong Kong.
So in the next four months, the equipment of the "Hu Ben Brigade" must be fully replenished. At that time, the "Hu Ben Brigade" will be transferred to Pengcheng for training and adapt to the climate, and will go to Hong Kong at the end of June.
Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping accompanied Liu Tao to inspect the training of the six combined brigades.
Both of them are busy people. Li Fuguo is responsible for the work of the armed forces, the construction of the six combined brigades, and the construction of the Zhurihe training base.
Zhao Guoping is busy with the affairs of the armed forces and the management of the huge Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation.
Today, Zhao Guoping and Li Fuguo were just at the Malong Military Training Base.
"Now everyone else is suggesting that we go to the southern battlefield again as a battalion to train soldiers and let the new recruits experience the baptism of the battlefield." Li Fuguo mentioned something.
With the end of the rainy season, the war on the southern battlefield is much more intense than during the rainy season.
The Annan troops are trying to regain the lost territory, while the participating troops are fighting for honor, gradually eliminating these attacking troops and capturing other mountains.
Those enemy troops whose logistics supplies were cut off after their retreat were already difficult to obtain supplies, and they continued to lose their positions in the face of the troops' attacks.
Now the territory controlled by our army has reached a full 60,000 square kilometers.
"What do you two think? You are professionals in marching and fighting! I'm just an outsider!" Liu Tao said calmly.
If it is about developing weapons and equipment, he is an expert and has absolute say.
But when it comes to marching and fighting, he is an outsider, and he never guides insiders, but listens to the professional opinions of insiders.
"We discussed it several times and felt that we could go south to participate in the war. Nothing can train people better than the battlefield!" Li Fuguo said: "Each time, we will participate in the war with a combined battalion, two combined battalions, or three combined battalions, so that the new recruits can be baptized by the fire of war."
"You also know that soldiers who have been on the battlefield or not are completely different. Soldiers who have seen blood or not are also different!" Li Fuguo said.
Zhao Guoping also said: "Going to the battlefield to fight is also conducive to training soldiers and commanders. Looking at the current situation, this battle may not last too long."
"Take advantage of this rare opportunity to train soldiers again!" Zhao Guoping said in a deep voice.
In these years of training, Zhao Guoping has grown very fast, his ability has improved a lot, his vision and pattern have greatly improved, and his judgment of current affairs has improved a lot.
Previously, Zhao Guoping was a member of the Standing Committee of the Kun City Party Committee. This year, as the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group was restructured into the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, he joined the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, while Liu Tao withdrew from it.
"Since you two military and political leaders have the same opinion, then sit down." Liu Tao nodded and did not object.
Although the combined battalion participated in the war, the loss of ammunition and shells, daily necessities, etc. were all paid by the Panshan Group, but Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, the two military and political leaders, reached an agreement, and Liu Tao agreed.
"You should communicate and coordinate with the combat command in this regard!" Liu Tao said.
Li Fuguo now holds a position in the Rongcheng Military Region. In this regard, communication and exchange are much smoother than before, and Liu Tao does not need to come forward in person to coordinate.
In the huge Malong Military Training Base, the soldiers are training, either in formation training, or training in tanks and armored vehicles, or live-fire shooting, or assassination training.
Many main battle tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are export versions, which are first trained by soldiers and then delivered to customers.
Self-propelled artillery and infantry fighting vehicles are relatively lacking.
The training intensity of the six combined brigades is very high, much higher than that of other troops.
Similarly, great efforts are also invested in food and nutrition.
If the food and nutrition are not up to par, high-intensity training will train people to waste.
In addition to watching the training of the troops, Liu Tao also checked whether the logistics could keep up.
In the evening, a gathering of battalion and brigade-level cadres was held at the headquarters. This was Liu Tao's first official meeting with them after the three combined brigades were expanded into six combined brigades.
The six combined brigades, plus the headquarters level and logistics, total a total of 50,000 people.
This number of people is comparable to the size of a Type B Army Group.
Everyone is wearing camouflage military uniforms. This camouflage military uniform is beautiful, grand, and helpful in combat. It has quickly become popular among the troops. The Army has now promoted this camouflage military uniform.
It's just because the military rank has not been officially restored, the title has not been awarded, and the military rank badge has not yet been worn on the shoulders.
Everyone has military medals hanging on their chests.
Military medals are naturally not worn in normal times, but they should be worn at gatherings like this at night.
Even Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping wore military medals on the chests of their military uniforms.
Liu Tao met everyone one by one. He actually knew everyone here, but some people were not familiar to him before.
But now he has to get to know everyone present.
When shaking hands with Qin Tian, Liu Tao paid special attention to it. Now Qin Tian is the battalion commander of the "Tiger Battalion" of the "Hu Ben Brigade" heavy-duty synthetic battalion. It can be said that he has performed very well in the synthetic brigade.
According to the awarded military rank, he will be awarded the rank of colonel after the year.
After the New Year, Qin Tian is only 30 years old. It can be said that he has a bright future, like a tiger father but no dog son!
As for generals like Qin Tian, there are several of the six combined brigades. Although there are many generals, only some of them can really stand out. After all, not everyone has outstanding abilities.
Among them, Qin Tian is considered to be a very outstanding one, and he is very good at summarizing. He has written summary reports on combined battalions and combined force operations many times, and Liu Tao has read them all.
