Chapter 539 Situation Changes (asking for monthly votes)
Sometimes Liu Tao has to admit it.
Marching and fighting also require talent.
In terms of training commanders, the higher the academic qualifications, the easier it is to train them to be qualified and the easier it is to stand out.
Currently, there are six synthetic brigades and twenty-four synthetic battalion commanders. Only two have a junior high school degree and one has an elementary school degree.
After entering the heavy-duty synthetic camp, these three people all studied hard and made up for their lack of cultural knowledge during Zhao Guoping's study class. Moreover, they have a unique keen sense and judgment about military operations, and they are constantly promoted through their military exploits.
Of the other twenty-one synthetic battalion commanders, five have high school degrees and sixteen have college degrees.
The academic qualifications of the six synthetic brigades are now much higher than before.
In the future, unless they are extremely talented, the ceiling for those with a junior high school education will probably be company-level cadres.
The further you go, the more highly educated people tend to be promoted in the army.
Because highly educated soldiers can learn and master new knowledge faster and can better utilize the power of weapons and equipment.
For example, the information operations unit is all composed of college graduates, with the highest average academic level among the six combined brigades.
The party was not complicated. There were fruits, cakes, drinks and wine, but the wine could not be drunk openly. The dishes were relatively simple and there was no extravagance or waste.
This time the main thing is for everyone to get together and keep in touch.
The six combined brigades are each located in different places, and they usually do not train together.
We used to be comrades fighting side by side, but now we don't necessarily see each other once a month.
This gathering was a gathering for everyone, and it was also the first time Liu Tao met everyone.
Of course, not all battalion-level and brigade-level cadres are available, and those who did not come were arranged to go for further training.
The next day, headquarters.
At this time, there were only Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping in the headquarters, and Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping were introducing the situation.
In terms of military matters, or when it comes to the Armed Forces, Liu Tao always leaves the responsibility to two people. They are also the people in the entire Panshan Group who have the most secrets besides Liu Tao.
"There are still some enemy armed forces entrenched in these mountains. However, it is not easy to supply ammunition and materials to these enemy forces. They will not be entrenched for long and will be wiped out in one or two years at most!" Li Fuguo introduced the situation on the southern battlefield.
The enemy army is also a force that is good at fighting guerrilla warfare. After all, it has been on the battlefield for a long time, using the weak to defeat the strong for a long time, and finally won the victory.
It just so happens that our army is better at fighting guerrilla warfare. In addition, this is a battlefield and most of them have fled. This gives the enemy no basis to fight guerrilla warfare.
A core of guerrilla warfare is the integration of the guerrillas and the people.
Now that the common people are almost gone, there is naturally no guerrilla warfare, and the power of guerrilla warfare has been greatly weakened.
"The main combat areas now are concentrated in the delta with dense river networks. The water networks here are dense and mechanized operations are restricted." Li Fuguo introduced.
Liu Tao nodded slightly.
In this kind of delta with dense river network, it is right for the troops to mainly invest in Type 81 light tanks and Type 81 amphibious tanks.
Because medium tanks cannot exert sufficient power in this kind of terrain, let alone heavy tanks.
Although heavy tanks and medium tanks can ford rivers, it depends on the river bed. If they encounter a silt river bed, they will get stuck and cannot get out.
As for the original road, it couldn't even be crossed by the bridge because the bridge couldn't bear it.
The Type 81 light tank and the Type 81 amphibious tank are different. As long as it is a normal road, it can pass. The Type 81 amphibious tank can swim in this kind of terrain.
Whether fighting directly down the river or fighting in the rice fields, it will not affect the combat capabilities.
"Now the enemy's top brass is caught in a power struggle and has lost control over a large area. Their morale is low and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of a few years ago." Li Fuguo said: "The line drawn by the previous factory director is entirely possible."
Thinking back when Liu Tao drew that line, they all thought Liu Tao was crazy.
But now it seems that it is entirely possible to realize this line.
"The troops of Laos and Cambodia are seizing some strategic locations and driving away the Vietnamese army." Li Fuguo said: "Currently there are 200,000 troops on both sides. We have organized a total of 5 million people to enter Laos and Myanmar. The railway is currently under construction. But the progress is not fast.”
Liu Tao nodded slightly. Laos and Cambodia have now returned to peace and are engaged in construction. The food they produce now can not only be used by Laos and Cambodia, but can also be exported to China in large quantities.
It's just that there are no steel plants in Laos and Cambodia, and all the steel that needs to be used has to be transported from Yun Province.
Now five million people have entered Laos and Cambodia, giving Laos and Cambodia a population of 14 million.
But this is only for now, not the end. Given the conditions of Laos and Cambodia, as long as they are developed and cultivated well, they can support at least 30 to 50 million people.
There is still a lot of potential to be tapped here.
As for where people come from, it's too simple. The population of Sichuan and Shu is now over 100 million, the population of Central Plains Province is over 80 million, and the population of Qilu Province has also reached 80 million!
There are plenty of people!
After all, even if rural land is divided now, there really is not much land allocated.
The Panshan Group established farms in Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar to recruit people to cultivate and plant the farms.
In the next few years, at least 20 million people will be transferred to these three places. In addition, when the war is over, there are so many vast lands and rice fields there, which can at least support 10 to 20 million people.
These three places can not only absorb nearly 50 million people, so that the population pressure on the mainland will not be so great, but also produce a large amount of food, minerals, and wood, which can be continuously transported back to the country.
It can be said that Liu Tao attaches great importance to these three places, and many resources are invested in these three places.
Even for this, a large amount of funds must be invested in the construction of railways!
It was also because he took advantage of the rare opportunity to make efforts in these three aspects. Otherwise, it would be difficult to start in a few years.
After all, the Americans and the Soviets are watching, and they will never allow a third party to become bigger.
"How is Myanmar?" Liu Tao asked.
Myanmar's geographical location is very important, not only involving the Yunnan Province's outlet to the Indian Ocean, but also involving land routes to Bhutan, Sikkim and other places.
Many weapons from World War I and World War II were sent to the six states as gifts.
Including the mercenaries, the number of troops deployed there reached 2,000.
It can be said that it is much more than in Laos and Cambodia.
Moreover, India is currently receiving help from the Soviet Union, and has purchased a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Soviet Union. The number of troops is also quite large, and should not be underestimated.
