The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 239 New Mission
There are four contents and the total duration is four days.

It is equivalent to rehearsing one content every day.

On the first day, fighter jets and bombers kept appearing.

Liu Tao kept looking up at the sky with a telescope. Although these were backward fighter planes and bombers, they looked very majestic at this time.

Bombs were thrown down one after another, and explosions continued to be heard.

The scene was very lively.

At least for an outsider like Liu Tao, it was just fun to watch.

So many fighter planes and bombers were absolutely unimaginable for China in the past.

The "Blue Army" fighter planes suddenly appeared in the sky, and the "Blue Army" tank cluster, which was as dark as the horizon, advanced rapidly according to the predetermined plan under the cover of its aviation. The "Blue Army" long-range bombers carried out air strikes on the "Red Army" battle depth targets. The "Red Army" Air Force took off urgently...

"This is a large-scale troop operation. There are only three countries in the world that can afford it!" Liu Tao said secretly.

China is poor now, and its weapons and equipment are indeed backward.

But it is definitely not weak!

Because when it comes to military strength, it is never just about the advancement of weapons.

It's a multi-faceted factor.

Thirty years ago, China's army was known as the pinnacle of light infantry. Its combat effectiveness was extremely amazing, and it made the foreign troops with advanced weapons and equipment scream in pain.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, humans play a vital role.

No matter how advanced a weapon is, it still needs people to use it.

If the people are not good, no matter how advanced the weapons are, they will be useless.

The next day we conducted an airborne and anti-airborne combat drill. The sky was filled with parachutes, which was very spectacular.

On the third day, the main missile company conducted a position-holding drill, and Liu Tao saw several types of missiles.

As for the fourth day, a counter-attack campaign was launched across the board.

It was also on this day that the combined force brigade once again shined and became the most handsome among the participating troops.

With the troop review completed, this review can be considered a complete success.

Each person was awarded a military exercise commemorative medal, and tens of thousands of individuals and over a thousand units received awards for their meritorious service.

Other troops began to mobilize and leave Zhangjiakou.

But Liu Tao, Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping were called to the headquarters.

"I am now giving you a difficult task. I will personally visit your combined brigade in three days!" the commander-in-chief said with an unquestionable look.

"Yes!" the three of them answered in unison, no one objected.

Afterwards, they returned to the combined forces brigade camp and held a meeting to discuss what to do.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping had never done this before and were completely confused.

Some scenes popped up in Liu Tao's mind.

He had not participated in it personally, but he had seen it. As the saying goes, even if you have not eaten pork, you have seen a pig run.

He has not actually operated it, but he can bring it up. Except for the lack of air echelons and missile forces, it can be said that the land forces are almost complete.

When Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping heard this, they thought it was feasible.

Afterwards, they convened a meeting of battalion and company-level cadres and issued orders without any discussion.

Afterwards, the entire combined brigade began training. They had been training before, but this was just the first military exercise.

Other troops left Zhangjiakou one by one, but the combined brigade remained here, training for more than ten hours a day.

Fortunately, the combined brigade brought a large amount of supplies this time, otherwise it would have been terrible.

Command center, all the leaders are here.

"Do you think three days is too short?" a leader said with some concern. "How can we accomplish anything in such a short time?"

"Yes, we still need to conduct live-fire shooting training to avoid chaos at that time." The other leaders nodded.

This military exercise is the first to be held in more than ten years, and the preparation time is as long as half a year.

The combined brigade now has only three days.

The commander-in-chief smiled and said, "You may not know something about this unit. This unit is very special. It used to be a battalion of the Panshan Machinery Factory. They called it a synthetic battalion. The training standards of this synthetic battalion are very high. Each person is required to fire at least 500 rounds of ammunition every year. The daily training intensity is very high. The troops are required to be ready to fight on the front line at any time."

"Although they were only expanded to a brigade at the beginning of the year, they have already been undergoing high-intensity training for half a year. Each soldier has fired at least 200 rounds of live ammunition, and they conduct formation training every day." The commander-in-chief introduced, "Young people, if you give them a little pressure, they can create miracles."

"Besides, it doesn't matter even if there is chaos." The commander-in-chief said, looking very relaxed.

"We'll know whether it's a mule or a horse after taking it out for a walk. Don't worry too much. It's normal for young people to make mistakes. We should allow young people to make mistakes and encourage them to make mistakes. If they don't dare to make mistakes, how can they dare to do it and practice it?" The old man was not tall, but his voice was full of power. "It's normal for a newly formed army to have problems. We just need to see what we want to see."

"This combined brigade is too extravagant. I don't know how much the weapons and equipment alone cost." A leader showed a distressed look, "The troops don't have Type 80 main battle tanks, Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and those new weapons in service now."

The main battle tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns previously purchased by the troops were not put into service directly, but were used for training.

After all, a new tank needs to train more crew members, so that it can exert its combat effectiveness when new tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are available in the future.

"This combined brigade does not belong to the military region, but is the armed force of Panshan Machinery Factory. Its duty is to protect the safety of Panshan Machinery Factory. They have the ability to do so. As leaders, we cannot say anything but should encourage them." The old man smiled. "In the final analysis, they are all the armed forces of the country!"

He is very open-minded about this and doesn't care about it.

Their main goal is to see what kind of army this is and to understand the true situation of this army.

They have all seen video footage about the combined brigade, of course it should be called a combined battalion.

The video footage of the combined battalion has been top secret so far and has never been publicly reported. It can only be viewed by some leaders and watched, studied and researched in specific schools.

As for the combined brigade, it has only been expanded for half a year.

Half a year is a very short time for a troop, not even enough to truly form combat effectiveness.

However, the combined forces brigade has left a very deep impression on everyone. It is equipped with a large number of tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and even many weapons and equipment that even many veteran soldiers cannot recognize. They are new equipment.

As for the current situation of the combined brigade and whether it will be the future development direction of mechanized forces, it is still far from being determined.

Because there is still a lot of controversy about mechanized troops, and even in this regard, there are not many people in the military who understand mechanized troops.

Even the mechanized troops are not as good as they used to be, let alone the synthetic troops.
