Of course, this kind of decision cannot be made in a meeting.

Instead, leaders will make decisions only after sufficient discussion and demonstration.

Next, the summary of the combined battalion was carried out.

Projector, the projectionist is operating it.

Even if a lot of irrelevant parts are cut out, it can still be played for three hours.

The leaders watched attentively. After all, they had not been to the battlefield, and the information they saw were all written reports.

Now, by watching this kind of documentary, it is obviously much more detailed than a written report.

At present, these video materials have been classified as confidential by Liu Tao.

Ordinary people can’t see it.

Even if they were martyrs or other soldiers, all they could get were a few photos of themselves as a memorial.

The combined forces battalion must never be obtained by the United States and the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for the Soviet and American armies, which have already completed mechanization, to carry out synthetic reforms.

As long as it is not known, even if the United States and the Soviet Union knew that there was such a force, they would only regard it as China conducting mechanized exploration.

At least for the past twenty years, the details of the combined battalion have to be kept confidential.

The Soviet and American armies' exploration of future military development models was a groping process in the dark, and the funds invested were absolutely huge.

If you take the wrong path, the cost will be extremely high.

Even when it was time for lunch, the leaders would have people bring the food to the conference room so they could watch while they ate.

After watching the video footage, the leaders announced that the meeting would continue tomorrow.

The next morning, at eight o'clock, the summary meeting continued in the conference room.

Li Fuguo reported on the combined battalion, covering every detail from its organization, weapons and equipment, training, simulated mountain attack drills in Tianzhu Mountain, to the battlefield combat deployment, combat process, and so on.

After Li Fuguo's report, Zhao Guoping gave his report. He reported on the ideological work of the soldiers and the logistical support work.

After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, Zhao Guoping's military temperament became stronger and he looked more mature.

The whole morning was spent just on the work report.

Leaders constantly jot down key information in their notebooks.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting continued. "Director Liu, as the proposer and practitioner of the concept of the combined battalion, Comrade Li Fuguo and Comrade Zhao Guoping have mentioned before that the combined battalion is still in its primary stage. In your mind, since there is a primary stage, there must be an intermediate stage and an advanced stage. Please tell us your opinion, and also talk about the combined battalion and mechanization." The leader called on me.

Liu Tao stood up and said, "Yes, the combined battalion is still in the early stages. The advanced stage of the combined battalion should be equipped with a large number of armored vehicles, including armored personnel carriers."

"In addition, the communication system should be extended to every squad, or even every soldier, so that battlefield conditions can be fed back immediately and orders can be delivered to every soldier."

"The combined battalion should also be equipped with air power, at least helicopters, which can speed up the deployment of the combined battalion and strengthen its air strike force. It can apply for artillery support or call for air support as soon as possible."

"Computers are developing rapidly now. A computer revolution is taking place all over the world. This is an information revolution. Computers will inevitably enter the military and have a profound impact on the troops. Informationized combat troops will definitely be the trend of the future."

Liu Tao talked about his idea: "According to combat needs, the combined battalion can be divided into three types: heavy combined battalion, medium combined battalion and light combined battalion."

Liu Tao introduced the heavy combined battalion, medium combined battalion and light combined battalion from the perspective of weapons and equipment, personnel composition, etc.

一个重型合成营,应该是有3个装甲步兵连(装甲步兵战车)、2个重型坦克连(重型主战坦克)、1个炮兵连(自行榴弹炮、反坦克导弹)、1个支援连(综合扫雷车)、1个保障连。重型合成营主要任务是攻坚及战术突破,配置大量重型坦克与装甲运输兵车。

It can be said that the advantage of the heavy combined battalion is that it is strong in both offense and defense, but its weaknesses are also obvious, that is, its weapons are bulky, it is difficult to assemble troops, it consumes a lot of fuel, and its cost is high.

而一个中型合成营,则是拥有4个步兵连(军用越野车)、1个轻型坦克连、1个武装直升机中队、1个支援连和1个保障连。

Medium combined battalions are mainly suitable for urban street fighting. Infantry companies arrive at the battlefield in military off-road vehicles, and light tanks are used as front-line mobile artillery positions. Medium combined battalions account for the majority of military operations and are suitable for large-scale mopping-up operations.

轻型合成营则是有5个步兵连、1个武装直升机中队、1个炮兵连、1个支援连、1个保障连。轻型合成营主要是战术突击,步兵连配置轻型武器,炮兵连也只配置120以下的炮,所有武器装备能够空运或者空投。

From a tactical perspective, the heavy combined battalion will conduct a frontal breakthrough, the medium combined battalion will follow the heavy combined battalion, and the light combined battalion will be airlifted and airdropped to the enemy's rear. Once the heavy combined battalion has achieved a breakthrough, it will continue to advance, and the medium combined battalion will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and consolidating the defense line.

The leaders' eyes were shining and they swallowed hard, some even couldn't help drooling.

These leaders, who have all gone through that era, suffer from a deep fear of "lack of firepower".

The combined forces battalion is the best formula to cure the "fear of insufficient firepower".

"As for the relationship between combined battalions and mechanization, what I want to say is that mechanization must be the direction of our military reform. After our army achieves mechanization, it must inevitably carry out reforms into combined battalions. The precise term for combined battalions should be digital combined battalions. After the mechanization construction of the troops, they will inevitably be informationized and digitized," said Liu Tao.

The basic concept of the combined battalion is to reduce the size of the traditional army organization, use the army group, combined brigade and combined battalion as combat units, take mechanization, informatization and intelligence as the core, use advanced weapons and equipment such as main battle tanks, armored vehicles, drones, etc., and realize the Internet and information sharing through information systems. It aims to improve combat effectiveness and adapt to the requirements of modern warfare situations. It can complete battlefield reconnaissance, target positioning and firepower strikes in a short period of time, make quick decisions and defeat the enemy.

Liu Tao's idea of ​​a combined battalion was obviously a huge shock to the leaders who were still stuck in large-scale troop operations and guerrilla warfare.

All they can hope for is to build their army into a mechanized force like the Soviet and American armies. Even with the most optimistic estimate, it will take at least 40 years.

However, Liu Tao's attention has already shifted to the digital synthetic battalion.

Even if you just think about it, you can know the terrifying firepower of the combined battalion.

Especially the heavy combined battalion, the firepower is terrifying just to think about it.
