Chapter 787 Qilian Mountain Military Base?
After the Gulf War.
The Panshan Group was not idle. Part of the tanks and armored vehicles produced were supplied to Li Fuguo.
These were great gifts to Li Fuguo and the others, and they were also dowries.
Now Li Fuguo and the others have extremely terrifying equipment.
Type 80 main battle tanks, Type 81 medium tanks, and Type 81 light tanks are each equipped with 600 units. In other words, this unit alone is equipped with 1,800 new tanks.
In addition, 3,500 Type 81 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, Type 81 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, transport vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and other vehicles are equipped.
350 120mm self-propelled howitzers, 150 122mm self-propelled rocket launchers, 350 122mm self-propelled howitzers, 150 anti-tank missile launch vehicles, 60 sets of 'Aegis' air defense missile systems, 500 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 50 'Raycon' helicopter
It can be said that this gift is enough to make the military smile.
However, with the passage of a group of veterans, it will take Li Fuguo and others at least three years to truly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Liu Tao was very affectionate towards Li Fuguo and others.
They were all real soldiers. They knew clearly that they would have to live a hard life if they married, but they did not complain.
The two entered the headquarters.
"How's it going over there in the Qilian Mountains?" Liu Tao asked.
This was Liu Tao's special instruction before Li Fuguo left for the capital after the Gulf War.
At the same time, this is also one of the great gifts prepared for Li Fuguo and the others.
That is to build another large military training base.
Qilian Mountain was the place Liu Tao initially selected.
"I took people on an on-site inspection. It was sparsely populated and large in size. It is very suitable for use as a military training base!" Li Fuguo said.
In order to inspect the Qilian Mountains, Li Fuguo led people to the Qilian Mountains for on-site inspection.
Qilian Mountain is located on the western border of Xihai Province and Gan Province. It is composed of a number of parallel mountains and wide valleys running from northwest to southeast. Because it is located on the south side of the Hexi Corridor, it is also called Nanshan. It is 800 kilometers long from east to west, 200 to 400 kilometers wide from north to south, and has an altitude of 4,000 meters. ~6000 meters, with a total of 3306 glaciers and an area of 2062 square kilometers.
The western end is connected to the Altun Mountains in the Dangjin Mountains, and the eastern end reaches the Yellow River Valley and is connected to the Qinling Mountains and Liupan Mountains, with a length of nearly 1,000 kilometers. The widest point is between Jiuquan and Qaidam Basin, reaching 300 kilometers.
From north to south, it includes Daxue Mountain, Tuolai Mountain, Tuolai Nan Mountain, Yema Nan Mountain, Shule Nan Mountain, Danghe Nan Mountain, Turgen Daban Mountain, Qaidam Mountain and Zongwulong Mountain. Most of the peaks are 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level. The highest peak, Tuanjie Peak in Shulenan Mountain, is 5,808 meters above sea level. The peaks above 4,000 meters above sea level are covered with snow all year round, and the valleys in the mountains are also between 3,000 and 3,500 meters above sea level.
The Qilian Mountains have a typical continental climate. Generally, the low mountains in the piedmont have a desert climate, with an average annual temperature of 6°C and an annual precipitation of about 150 mm. The lower part of Zhongshan Mountain has a semi-arid steppe climate, with an average annual temperature of 2~5℃ and an annual precipitation of 250~300 mm. The upper part of Zhongshan Mountain has a semi-humid forest-steppe climate, with an average annual temperature of 0~1℃ and an annual precipitation of 400~500 mm. The subalpine and high mountains have a cold and humid climate, with an average annual temperature of about -5°C and an annual precipitation of about 800 mm. The climate is humid in the eastern part of the mountainous area and drier in the western part.
The four seasons in the Qilian Mountains are never very clear. Spring is not like spring, and summer is not like summer. The so-called "Qilian Snow in June" is a reflection of the climate and natural landscape of Qilian Mountain.
Li Fuguo mobilized a satellite map, which was specially formed through satellites, covering an area of approximately 6,000 square kilometers.
Then, Li Fuguo and Liu Tao introduced.
After Liu Tao found out about it, he made a piece of it with a coil, covering the entire Qilian Mountains and some surrounding places, a total of 5,000 square kilometers. There are only a few thousand people in these 5,000 square kilometers, but it includes snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, canyons, etc. The terrain is very suitable for the construction of military training bases.
"When you return to the capital here, after reporting to the leadership, you will say that this area will be built as a military training base." Liu Tao said.
Although the area is similar to that of the Zhurihe Military Training Base, the cost of building the Qilian Mountain Military Training Base is at least twice or even three times that of the Zhurihe Military Training Base.
Because there are no roads or railways in this area.
To build the Qilian Mountain military training base, we must first build a road and a railway. Otherwise, transportation of construction materials will be a big trouble.
Once the Qilian Mountain military training base is completed, China will have three major contract military training bases.
Relying on these three major contract military training bases, the Army can train almost all the troops in an average of two or three years.
In addition, the country is building the "Three Realms Training Base" and will build other training bases in the future. By then, it is estimated that the Army will be able to achieve the effect of training every year.
In peacetime, the importance of training bases is self-evident, because it is the most effective way to test the combat effectiveness of the troops. In the process, the deficiencies of the training troops can be discovered, so that they can be strengthened accordingly.
At the same time, you can also explore the modes, tactics, etc. of future wars.
For Li Fuguo and others, the last time they fought in the Gulf War, they actually did not fight much at all.
This can be seen from the casualties. Except for a few unlucky ones who were injured, they had no casualties in the Gulf War.
Unlike when Iraq invaded Kuwait, mercenaries suffered considerable casualties.
In the future, the troops will not have many opportunities to fight in real combat. It is foreseeable that there will be small-scale combat.
Those who can have actual combat must either become mercenaries or join the "Blue Helmets".
"Unconsciously, more than ten years have passed!" Li Fuguo said with sadness.
Back then, he made a mistake in the "Red Dragon's Roar" and had to transfer from the position of the head of the main regiment to the local area. Later, he entered Panshan Machinery Factory and served as the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for the work of the Armed Forces of Panshan Machinery Factory and the establishment of a synthetic battalion.
Then, step by step, he followed the development of Panshan Machinery Factory and made progress.
From one battalion at the beginning, it has now become twelve brigades!
In terms of informationized warfare and synthetic warfare, Li Fuguo is definitely the number one in the country.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
And now, he is about to leave Panshan Group and return to the army again.
Li Fuguo is also full of emotions for Panshan Group, where he has every bit of his work.
Although he had a heavy workload for more than ten years and did not have much time off a year, he was still dealing with things when he had a rare vacation.
He had two further studies.
To be honest, Li Fuguo was still reluctant to leave Panshan Group.
But he also knew that it was a general trend at this point.
As a soldier, he always took obedience to orders as his duty and would never waver because of his personal will.
Maybe when he retires, he will come back to take a good look, tell his grandchildren about the glorious years of the past, and then show off his medals and certificates to his grandchildren, or brag and chat with other retired old men.
