Chapter 464: Restore military rank?

A combined brigade consumes much more bullets and artillery shells on the battlefield than a Type A infantry division.

Although now, the three combined brigades are fully equipped with full personnel and equipment, but in Liu Tao's view, they are still lacking a lot of things.

For example, there are no nuclear weapons, such as no early warning aircraft!

There are only 11 Black Hawk helicopters in the three combined brigades, which is too few!

"In this way, you first formulate a combat plan and mobilize reconnaissance satellites, communication satellites and Beidou navigation satellites to the area. I will ask for instructions from above!" Liu Tao pondered for a while, but did not dare to confirm.

The entire 1986 round schedule and schedule were released on National Day last year.

Now their Panshan Group wants to jump in line, which is a bit unkind to be honest.

Besides, it’s up to two people to say whether the above will allow it or not.

They arrived at the headquarters. On the wall of the headquarters was a large-scale topographic map of Southeast Asia. This was a military map.

Throughout northern Annan, the Changshan Mountains are like a natural barrier, forming a north-south vertical and horizontal direction. Then the Red River Delta is formed by the Red River and its tributary Taiping River. This is a plain formed by river impact, covering an area of ​​approximately 15,000 square kilometers.

The Red River Delta, also known as the Northern Delta, is a fertile land, an important grain-producing area, and a densely populated area.

There are only two deltas in the entire Annan, apart from the Red River Delta, it is the Mekong River Delta.

The Mekong Delta spans Cambodia and Annam, with its peak at Phnom Penh, Cambodia. From then on, it gradually extends downwards and flows into the South China Sea. The Mekong Delta has a tropical monsoon climate, with high temperatures throughout the year, distinct seasons of dry and rain, and fertile soil, making it suitable for agricultural production.

The line Liu Tao originally drew was almost a straight line formed by the Changshan Mountains, the Red River and its tributaries.

On this topographic map, this line is also present.

The topographic map clearly shows the current situation of both sides.

Looking at the dense river network, Liu Tao shook his head slightly.

By then, not to mention heavy main battle tanks, even medium tanks will be greatly restricted if they want to fight in the Red River Delta.

The main force must be light tanks and amphibious tanks.

After staying at the Malong Military Training Base for two days, Liu Tao left.

Panshan Group Headquarters.

Liu Tao made a call, and the call went directly to the leadership office above.

Later, Liu Tao reported on the situation of the three combined brigades and the combined brigades' request for combat, hoping to use the brigades as combat units to participate in the war to provide brigade-level actual combat capabilities.

The leader didn't say much and asked him to go to the capital to report in person.

Liu Tao called Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, and after the three met, they set off for the capital.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, in the conference room.

Li Fuguo was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. The famous figures made him look very nervous.

"Lao Li's mental quality needs to be improved!" Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this.

Later, Liu Tao signaled to Zhao Guoping and asked Zhao Guoping to report.

Zhao Guoping seemed much more calm. Zhao Guoping said that these people were just one generation behind each other, and it was not like he had never seen them before.

In his opinion, he is no different from ordinary people.

Zhao Guoping made the report in person. His speech was not fast, but his speech was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was very clear.

"You little monkey, if this realizes your strategy, Annan will have a hard time!" The old man took out a cigarette, passed a match across it and sparks appeared, lit the cigarette, and took a puff, "We fight as a brigade. Unit, will there be too much movement?”

"You said before that the combined brigade is a military secret to avoid being known by the Soviet Union and the United States, thereby widening the gap in military strength." The old man exhaled smoke, a little confused.

Liu Tao said: "The enemy is having a hard time. Isn't this what we want to see?"

"We don't report on the combined brigade, we only report that this is a mechanized brigade. Mechanized troops will naturally have stronger combat effectiveness." Liu Tao said: "From a strategic point of view, it is achievable. At present, we have completely controlled strategic areas in the north. , Erosion is only a matter of time. Furthermore, the guerrilla forces in Laos and Cambodia now number 100,000, and are relatively strong.”

Even if there is a report, it is not a combined brigade, but a mechanized brigade!

Liu Tao also talked about the more than 1.5 million overseas Chinese who suffered great injustice and had their property plundered. The plundered property amounted to more than 3 billion US dollars.

If it were not for Laos and Cambodia, I am afraid that at least half of the more than 1.5 million overseas Chinese would have been killed or injured.

"The three combined brigades will use the brigade as a combat unit to conduct rotational battles. I agree in principle. We were still discussing before that the battlefield has become larger and whether we should strengthen our strength and send more troops to conduct rotational battles." The old man He said slowly: "This will only require more supplies to be sent to the front line. Now our country's focus is on economic construction. I have emphasized this many times and will not waver."

"The three combined brigades of your Panshan Group can take turns fighting on the front line, which can save a lot of trouble."

In the past, when Panshan Group's combined battalions went into battle, they always brought their own weapons, ammunition and supplies. They even brought their own medical teams and medicines.

In recent years, injured soldiers have been sent to Panshan Hospital for treatment, allowing more soldiers to receive treatment and survive, and to save many sacrifices.

This time with the brigade as the combat unit, it was the same.

The Panshan Group also provides its own weapons, ammunition and supplies, which will not increase the burden on the country.

To be honest, they were all shocked by the total tax paid by Panshan Group last year, because the tax increase was very large.

The largest taxpayer in the country is Panshan Group.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping were delighted when they heard the leader's words.

This means that their request to participate in the war with a combined brigade was approved.

Then, the leader mentioned something that surprised Liu Tao.

It turned out that the country was going to restore the military rank system.

In 1955, our army implemented the military rank system for the first time, which was of epoch-making significance.

From then on, the People's Liberation Army began to wear military rank shoulder straps, military branches and service symbols, and dress according to the new uniform standard.

It was only in 1965 that the military rank system was abolished.

It is undoubtedly epoch-making to restore the military rank system today.

The military rank system is of great significance to the regularization of the army.

The argumentation work on restoring military ranks began many years ago. For example, the treatment issue, such as in the "Red Dragon Roar" operation, the disadvantages of abolishing military ranks were concentratedly manifested.

When summarizing the situation, someone pointed out: "In combat, the young ones don't know how to command, so they just look at those with long beards and big bellies. When two regiments and two divisions are together, who will command whom? With military ranks, there is no such problem."

At that time, some leaders also believed that restoring military ranks was very necessary to strengthen discipline and national defense construction.

After so many years of preparation, military ranks are finally being restored.
