Chapter 236 Emergency Expedition

The military dependents' quarters are naturally not built in Panshan or Tianzhu Mountain.

Instead, they are built in nearby towns.

There are many mountains and hills here, and the towns are not too big. A town area often has several thousand people.

The military dependents' quarters are built on a piece of land.

The houses built here are very similar to those of Panshan Machinery Factory, that is, each building has two households, each household has 120 square meters, and all are staircase houses.

The total construction will be divided into three phases, and 8,000 houses will be built, and the property rights will all belong to Panshan Machinery Factory.

The military dependents' families can live there, but the houses do not belong to the soldiers.

Once they are full, there will be almost 40,000 people.

Now there are 1,000 houses built, which are allocated to cadres first.

The investment in building these 8,000 houses is more than 100 million.

In addition, jobs will be arranged for the family members, and at least one job will be arranged for each household.

However, the holidays for cadres of different levels are different. As for soldiers, they only have three days off each month, and they have to take turns.

The military dependents' quarters are distributed in three towns, and the distance between them is at least four or five kilometers.

The family quarters that Liu Tao, Li Fuguo, and Zhao Guoping came to have been built, and even people have moved in.

Zhao Guoping reported the situation: "Now some soldiers' families are unwilling to live in the family quarters, and only a small number of soldiers have married."

This phenomenon exists not only among soldiers, but also among cadres who are still unmarried.

As for the soldiers' families' reluctance to come, Liu Tao can also understand that after all, many soldiers come from all over the world and are reluctant to leave their hometowns. Who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to Yunnan Province? In the impression of many people, Yunnan Province is a border and a poor place.

"Cadres who have reached the age of marriage should find ways to matchmake." Liu Tao also had a headache.

Because it is not only the combined brigade that has this problem, but the entire Panshan Machinery Factory has this problem.

There are more men than women!

There are even many who have not married at the age of 30.

In the surrounding areas, those who can act as matchmakers have done so.

But there is still a big gap.

This is a long-standing problem in Panshan Machinery Factory.

After inspecting the military quarters, Liu Tao left and returned to Panshan Machinery Factory.

It has just entered September.

In the middle of the night, Liu Tao was awakened by a phone call, and his eyes were full of shock.

On September 4, the Soviet Union mobilized tens of thousands of tanks, more than 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles, and a total of more than 500,000 Soviet troops for an 8-day military exercise.

This is also the largest strategic exercise in the world since World War II.

And this time, the Soviet Union also specially invited reporters from various countries and ambassadors and military attachés to the Soviet Union to watch in person.

The West-81 military exercise was the first time in the world to show the horror of mechanized troops.

There is no doubt that this is the largest military exercise in human history, and it is also a "muscle show" during the heyday of the Soviet army. It allows the world to see the powerful Soviet armed forces.

The entire West is extremely pessimistic and believes that it only takes a week for this Soviet army to push Europe and reach the Atlantic coast, but they can do nothing and can't stop it at all.

In this exercise, the Soviet Union mobilized almost all branches of the Soviet Army, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, motorized infantry, rocket launchers, artillery, tactical missiles, strategic missiles, pontoon bridge troops, air defense forces, front-line aviation, navy, marines and other forces.

"Terrible polar bear!" Liu Tao's eyes were full of shock.

At this time, the Soviet Army was truly at its peak, the undisputed world's largest military power.

The total strength of the Soviet Army exceeded 5 million, including 2 million in the Army, with about 200 combat divisions of various types, more than 53,000 tanks, more than 63,000 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 48,000 artillery pieces, more than 4,000 helicopters of the Army Aviation, more than 1,200 aircraft of the Soviet National Air Defense Force, and more than 11,000 aircraft and helicopters of various types of the Soviet Air Force, including more than 6,000 front-line fighters and attack aircraft, 670 strategic bombers, and more than 1,000 combat aircraft of the Soviet Navy Aviation.

"Comrade Liu Tao, please leave for North China immediately. This is an order from the superior!" the leader said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Liu Tao agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao immediately called the headquarters of the combined brigade.

The Black Hawk helicopter landed at the Panshan Machinery Factory soon. Liu Tao boarded the helicopter and the helicopter went directly to the headquarters of the Tianzhushan Combined Brigade.

When Liu Tao arrived at the headquarters of the combined brigade, Li Fuguo, Zhao Guoping and others were all here, as were the battalion commanders and company commanders of each battalion.

"The superior ordered that the combined brigade should assemble immediately and must arrive in Zhangjiakou, North China on September 14!" Liu Tao announced the order.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping's faces changed.

"Director, is it the north?" Li Fuguo thought of something at the first time, and his eyes widened.

Zhao Guoping also thought of it at the same time.

The polar bear has deployed millions of troops in the north, and the pressure brought by that can be imagined.

They thought of it at the first time that the polar bear's millions of lions marched south.

Any mid-level commander would inevitably imagine this situation.

Now that the situation is so urgent and we have to march overnight, it is very likely that this situation will happen.

Liu Tao waved his hand and interrupted Li Fuguo: "This is just a long-planned exercise. No more talk. Emergency assembly immediately!"

This action was just for the troops to exercise and see the training effect of the troops. It had no other meaning.

Soon, the whistle of emergency assembly sounded in each battalion.

"Emergency assembly!"

Everyone was ready to go to the front line at any time!

The battalion commanders of each battalion looked at the time on their watches, and the soldiers soon lined up fully armed.

"Destination, Panshan Machinery Factory, set off!"

Soldiers, obeying orders is their duty!

After the order was issued, although many soldiers were puzzled about where to go in the middle of the night, they still executed the order.

The 80-type self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the 80-type tank, and the 81-type infantry fighting vehicle started. The soldiers entered the infantry fighting vehicles one after another, and those who were not able to sit got on the transport vehicles.

The troops set off immediately.

Li Fuguo and others sat on the command vehicle, while Liu Tao, Zhao Guoping and others took the Black Hawk helicopter to rush back to Panshan Machinery Factory as soon as possible.

The logistics department was already preparing weapons and ammunition, including training ammunition and live ammunition.

When the troops arrived, the train had also arrived.

The soldiers drove the tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled howitzers, and infantry fighting vehicles onto the trains one after another, then fixed them and camouflaged them on the surface.

Train after train set off.

By noon, a full twenty trains had been mobilized and transported.

It takes three days and three nights to get from Panshan Machinery Factory to Zhangjiakou in North China.

Li Fuguo went with the troops, while Liu Tao and a few others including Zhao Guoping took a helicopter directly to the airport.

There were cadres from the troops here, and they would take a plane to Zhangjiakou.

Many of the cadres were known to Liu Tao, and after a brief greeting, they boarded the plane.
