Chapter 958 Railway Force Construction
“伤亡方面，根据最新汇总上报，3个铁道步兵旅累计伤亡约3000人，4个万人建设师伤亡1000多人、第2中型合成旅伤亡300人、第1特战旅伤亡48人、技术员意外伤亡44人....”
When talking about casualties, Zhang Zhenguo, the commander of the railway troops in the theater, spoke in a much lower voice.
The entire railway corps paid the price of nearly 1500 men to build the 5000-kilometer-long railway, which means that for every 300 meters of advance, a soldier of the railway corps fell forever!
This is equivalent to an infantry brigade of 5000 people being wiped out in its entirety. How could such a heavy loss not make people feel heavy-hearted?
And for this 1500-kilometer railway section, the current casualties do not mean the end, nor does it mean that we can rest easy in the future...
The cruelty of the end of the world is that all this is just the beginning!
As long as the apocalypse does not end, as long as this 2000-kilometer-long transportation line does not stop running, it will always be a bleeding scar on the Zhongzhou War Zone...
In order to protect this long transport line, the future garrison troops and logistics personnel will have to shed blood here for a long time...
The transportation line is the lifeline. It represents life and also consumes life!
In this regard, Gu Chengyuan had no choice but to sacrifice the small for the big, and exchange the future of the majority for the sacrifice of a few people!
At the same time, Gu Chengyuan also knew that no one wanted to be the minority who were sacrificed, but in his eyes, these people also had no choice!
It’s fair if neither of us has a choice!
...
"How is the progress of the railway troops' recruitment work? Have the joint political work department and local administrative agencies met the targets?"
Skipping this helpless and slightly heavy topic, Gu Chengyuan suddenly asked about the issue of recruiting new soldiers.
There is no way. The railway troops have suffered such a huge loss of personnel. In order not to affect his next strategy, the railway troops must be kept at full strength at all times.
"Reporting to the commander, regarding the recruitment of the railway troops, Director Li of the Joint Political Work Department and the leaders of the local gathering places are very cooperative!"
"Except for the Qinghe gathering place and Zhanjiang base city, which are important military production bases and exempted from taxation, other places are very cooperative, and the survivors are also enthusiastically signing up to join the army!"
"Just three days ago, all localities had already completed the conscription quotas allocated to them ahead of schedule."
"A total of 4 new recruits from the railway troops have arrived at the night market and have settled in the Zhongzhou Army's First Comprehensive Training Base and the Zhongzhou Army's Second Comprehensive Training Base, which are located in the center of Xishui District!"
The "Zhongzhou Army First Comprehensive Training Base" and "Zhongzhou Army Second Comprehensive Training Base" mentioned by Zhang Zhenguo, commander of the theater's railway forces, are large-scale comprehensive army training bases directly under the theater's army headquarters that were planned and built years ago by the theater's joint operations command in order to further improve the military quality of new recruits.
The two Army Comprehensive Training Bases are located in the central area of the Yuanxishui District and are standardized and built with:
Live-fire training area: multi-range shooting range (25-800m), mobile target system, armored vehicle shooting platform
Tactical simulation area: urban street fighting simulation field (1:1 reconstruction ratio of ruins), mountain assault field, biochemical pollution environment combat tunnel
Professional training grounds: armored driving ground, engineering mine-laying ground
Support system: barracks, canteen, hospital (medical level 2)
Currently, each of the two army comprehensive training bases can accommodate 2 recruits for training at the same time, and the total training duration is one month.
A total of 10 basic training courses for new recruits are offered, including the basics of individual tactics (leaping/lying down/using shelters), combat injury rescue (stopping bleeding/bandaging/fixing/carrying), nuclear, biological and chemical protection (detection/decontamination/isolation survival), live-fire shooting with light weapons (automatic rifles/machine guns/sniper rifles), throwing techniques (grenades/smoke bombs/incendiary bombs), and doomsday survival theory (illustration of apocalyptic creatures, material identification).
At present, in addition to these two, in order to meet the growing demand for troops and the gradually raised standards for training new recruits, the 3rd and 4th Army Comprehensive Training Bases planned to be built in Ye'an New District have also broken ground.
At the same time, the 2nd and 3rd Yezhou Special Forces Comprehensive Training Bases are also under construction!
Therefore, from the above, we can see that the Zhongzhou War Zone has completed the fundamental reconstruction of the combat power of the survivor troops by building a standardized training system!
Its positioning is undergoing a strategic transformation from a former "auxiliary filling-line unit" to a "main module for multi-domain warfare", marking that the construction of the survivor force has officially entered a new stage of specialization, main force and systematization.
...
"By the way, yesterday the Fuxing Military Academy reported that they hope to use this batch of new recruits from your railway troops to assist in the training of military academy students. What do you think?"
After completing their training at the Fuxing Military Academy, students will take up leadership positions as soon as they are assigned to the army. Most of them are platoon leaders at the grassroots level. A very small number of top students with excellent academic performance will even be promoted to company commanders.
Therefore, in order to help the students become as familiar with the future work processes as possible, everyone at Fuxing Military Academy has racked their brains!
After all, they are the first batch of formal students, and the school leaders and teachers also want to make them famous!
Therefore, after learning about the situation of the new recruits in the two training bases, he sent an application report to Gu Chengyuan, hoping that the military academy students could serve as trainee platoon leaders, company commanders, or even battalion commanders in the two comprehensive training bases to train with the new recruits of the railway troops.
Considering the important impact of recruit training on the combat effectiveness and survival rate of the troops, Gu Chengyuan naturally cannot make a rough decision, but needs to consult the opinions of Zhang Zhenguo, the head of the railway troops.
After hearing Gu Chengyuan's question, Zhang Zhenguo reacted briefly and then quickly felt happy. This is a good thing!
How could he not understand the value of the students at the Fuxing Military Academy?
They are originally the backbone forces selected from various grassroots units, and after undergoing orthodox military academy training, they are simply the highest level of grassroots officers that the entire Zhongzhou War Zone can currently produce!
In terms of level, they are definitely better than the ordinary cadres and squad leaders in the teaching camps of the training base. What's more important is that this is equivalent to making the Fuxing Military Academy owe him a favor!
When this group of students graduate and are assigned jobs in the future, will the other party have the nerve to refuse me when I ask for a job?
What is a backbone? The backbone is the flesh and blood that can support an army!
If we can recruit more students from the Fuxing Military Academy to join the railway troops, it will definitely be of great benefit to improving the overall combat effectiveness of the troops!
Soon, after figuring this out, Zhang Zhenguo nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, fearing that Gu Chengyuan would go back on his word:
"I agree! I agree, Commander! This is related to the future cadre team building in the war zone. The Railway Corps is willing to make unconditional contributions and serve as a test field for the Fuxing Military Academy!"
