Chapter 473 Hungry Wolf

After several years of war, both sides have actually undergone great changes.

In 1979, Annan had just experienced more than 30 years of war and completed the unification of North and South Vietnam. The total force exceeded 1.5 million, and it had 58 infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, of which more than 300,000 officers and soldiers were veterans who had been tested by war and had rich combat experience.

In addition, there was weapons and equipment. The Annan army received a large amount of weapons assistance from the Soviet Union and China, especially a large number of Soviet-style weapons assisted by the Soviet Union after 1975, including some of the latest equipment in the 1970s, which were not fully popularized even by the Soviet army, and had been assisted to Annan.

There were also a large number of American weapons seized in the war.

At that time, the Annan army was one of the few in the world that was equipped with a large number of Soviet and American weapons at the same time, and they were also active equipment of the Soviet Union and the United States. These weapons were relatively advanced and surpassed many neighboring countries.

This is why Annan was known as the world's third largest military power at that time. In terms of weapons and equipment and the quality of military personnel, it was not only self-proclaimed, but also recognized by many professional media.

But after a few years, both sides have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Almost all of Annan's elite veterans have been killed. The elite troops have almost lost their positions, and they are not in a good position. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are not in a good position but in a bad position.

The natural barriers and highlands that they originally occupied have been almost lost in a few years, and now they can hardly defend them.

On the Chinese side, the troops have been streamlined three times in a row, and the troops have been built in the direction of mechanization. Under the same troop strength, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased instead of decreased.

In addition, there are systematic large-scale intensive training and mountain combat exercises, and the combat effectiveness is much stronger than in 1979.

In addition, they have an advantage in weapons and equipment.

It is no longer like in 1979, when the tanks are Type 59 tanks, Type 62 light tanks, and Type 63 amphibious tanks.

Especially the combined brigades, even if they are only light combined brigades, their weapons and equipment are very advanced and their firepower is very fierce.

As for the heavy combined brigades, even the commanders of the group armies will envy and hate them.

The heavy and light combined brigades cooperated with each other to completely wipe out the enemy's 201st Tank Division. This major victory inspired the whole army.

The whole army was howling like a hungry wolf, and every unit wanted to make greater military achievements.

Especially the medium combined brigade. The brother units of the heavy combined brigade and the light combined brigade have achieved such brilliant results. This makes the medium combined brigade, as a brother unit, unwilling to be outdone and also want to make great achievements.

After all, the "Tiger Brigade" honor flag of the heavy combined brigade is a unique honor in the whole army, which has always made the medium combined brigade very jealous.

The company and battalion have honor flags, but the medium combined brigade does not have it at the brigade level!

At the command headquarters of the medium combined brigade, Li Hua held a command meeting and reported the brilliant achievements of the heavy combined brigade and the light combined brigade last night.

Although the medium combined brigade has also achieved a lot of results in the southward battle, it is much different from the heavy combined brigade and the light brigade.

Li Hua slammed the table and cursed, scolding all the battalion commanders and company commanders.

He used to be the commander of the 1st Independent Division. Later, the troops were streamlined and the 1st Independent Division was streamlined. He either stayed in the army and turned to the second line, or went to the local area and was demoted by half a level or one level.

He chose to go to the newly established synthetic brigade, not because the salary of the synthetic brigade was high, but because Li Hua was accustomed to the military career and wanted to continue to stay in the front-line troops.

When he arrived at the synthetic brigade, although he was only the deputy brigade commander, Li Hua was more motivated because the synthetic brigade was a brand-new unit, a new type of unit with advanced weapons and equipment and advanced combat concepts.

In the synthetic brigade, even as a deputy brigade commander, he learned a lot.

At the same time, he was also arranged to receive more systematic command training.

When the synthetic brigade was expanded and a medium synthetic brigade and a light synthetic brigade were established, Li Hua served as the brigade commander of the medium synthetic brigade.

After a few years, the medium synthetic brigade was fully staffed and fully equipped with weapons and equipment.

It was equipped with 120 Type 81 medium tanks!

The combat effectiveness of the Type 81 medium tank is slightly inferior to that of the Type 80 main battle tank, but the gap is not too big, only the main gun power is worse and the armor defense is worse.

But in other aspects, there is not much difference.

For the enemy, there is actually no difference between the Type 81 medium tank and the Type 80 main battle tank, because one shot can blow up the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles.

The medium synthetic brigade and the light synthetic brigade set out on the same day and arrived at the front line on almost the same day, but now in terms of combat results, the medium synthetic brigade is not as good as the light synthetic brigade.

This makes Li Hua feel a kind of shame!

Obviously, in terms of firepower, the medium synthetic brigade is higher than the light synthetic brigade.

There are also friendly forces around, but the performance of the medium synthetic brigade is obviously worse than that of the light synthetic brigade.

Now the light synthetic brigade cooperates with the heavy synthetic brigade to completely wipe out the enemy's 201st Tank Division and capture the commander of the enemy's 201st Tank Division alive, creating the highest record of capturing the enemy commander on the battlefield since 1979.

Li Hua felt aggrieved when he thought that Chen Ping would show off in front of him.

Three combined brigades, because the military and political leaders of the heavy combined brigade are Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, and the two have been building the combined battalion from the beginning, and have high prestige and status in the combined brigade. Moreover, the two are also members of the Party Group of Panshan Group, and they are their leaders, and Li Hua is also lucky to be with them.

But Chen Ping used to be the commander of the 2nd Independent Division, and later served as the deputy commander of the heavy combined brigade, and then served as the commander of the light combined brigade.

Li Hua and Chen Ping have been competing with each other.

Ordinary training, performance on the battlefield.

The most real manifestation of the combat effectiveness of a unit is its performance on the battlefield, how many enemy troops it has eliminated on the battlefield, and the results of the battle!

Only talking about how the training is done in peacetime, and not talking about the results of the battle on the battlefield, is playing rogue.

The reprimanded battalion-level cadres blushed, and they also have a sense of honor and shame.

They are obviously brother units, but the performance gap is too big.

Compared with other friendly forces, the performance of the medium-sized combined brigade is very eye-catching, but compared with the two brother units of the heavy combined brigade and the light combined brigade, it seems dim.

As soldiers, they naturally know that the most important thing about the army is military merit.

Nothing can be more impressive than military merit!

Everyone was originally the same, almost the same, received the same training, and had the same resources, but when they arrived on the battlefield, the gap was reflected.

Many cadres clenched their fists, their nails pierced into the flesh, and no one felt convinced. They also wanted to fight a beautiful battle to be proud of themselves.
