The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 359 Tiger Camp Celebration Party
Time flies, and a few months pass in the blink of an eye.

1983 was the last page turned, and 1984 was the newest page opened.

Liu Tao hurried to the Malong Military Training Base.

This time he came to the Malong Military Training Base to hold a celebration ceremony.

The Tiger Battalion achieved brilliant results on the front line. In just five days, it annihilated an enemy regiment and two battalions. In the following two months, it repelled three division-level counterattacks and 3 battalion-level counterattacks by the enemy.

The enemy suffered more than 89 casualties, while the army itself suffered 97 deaths and injuries.

Even during the rotation of guard, the 'Hu Ben Camp' still firmly controlled Huang Shupi County and handed it over to the troops taking over the defense, capturing a total of two heights.

In this round of fighting, the Huben Battalion had the most impressive performance.

All the troops of the three combined brigades, except those going to the front line, were gathered together.

The first thing that started was the firing of gunshots, a tribute to the fallen comrades.

Afterwards, the leaders of the military region, on behalf of their superiors, awarded honors to the units and individuals who had made meritorious contributions.

In each round of battle, awards will be given to combat units and individuals with outstanding performance, which also reflects the principle of our army that those who have made contributions must be rewarded and those who have made mistakes must be punished.

Liu Tao also delivered a speech, fully affirming the achievements of the "Hu Ben Battalion", and then asked the "Hu Ben Battalion" not to be proud and complacent, to be good at summarizing, improve their own combat effectiveness, and prepare for the next round.

To be honest, Liu Tao was also very sad about the losses in this battle, as the casualties reached nearly a quarter.

These are all good men of China. No soldier would desert, no matter how difficult or critical the situation is.

89 were killed in battle, 97 were injured, 42 of them were seriously injured and 55 were not seriously injured. The 42 seriously injured could not return to the army even after being discharged from the hospital, and more than half of the 55 not seriously injured had to retire.

This shows how cruel the fighting on the front lines is.

You should know that the "Tiger Battalion" is a heavy combined battalion and the most combat-effective of all the combined battalions in the three combined brigades, but its casualties are still nearly a quarter.

There is a reason why the first-class collective merit and individual merit were awarded.

In order to allow the "Hu Ben Camp" to have a good rest, Liu Tao announced that all the soldiers of the Huben Camp will be given a half-month vacation during the Spring Festival.

"The pensions for the injured and dead soldiers must be provided well. We must not let the soldiers shed blood and tears. For all those who have made first-class merits, the leaders of the troops must personally visit the homes of the soldiers and deliver the plaques of 'First-Class Meritorious Contributors' and 'Second-Class Meritorious Contributors' to their homes, so that their homes can become glorious homes." Liu Tao instructed Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping in a deep voice.

The treatment of the three combined brigades is the best among all the Chinese troops. Even the Air Force and the Navy are not as good as these three combined brigades.

In addition to the pensions given by the army according to the standards, there are also pensions given by Panshan Group.

Panshan Group will also be responsible for supporting the children of martyrs until they graduate from university and even arrange jobs for them.

Some of the soldiers' families live in family quarters, so Panshan Group can take care of them more easily. However, some of the soldiers' families are scattered all over the country, so Panshan Group is inevitably unable to take care of them more often.

These are all things that the Panshan Group’s armed forces department needs to spend time and effort on.

Liu Tao said seriously: "The soldiers' allowances and pensions must be paid in full. Anyone who dares to take them will be severely, strictly and quickly punished. Those who deserve to be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who deserve to be shot will be shot."

"Comrade Li Fuguo, Comrade Zhao Guoping, you need to spend more time and effort on this aspect and do it well." Liu Tao looked at Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping are not only the military and political leaders of the heavy combined brigade, but also the military and political leaders of three combined brigades, leading the armed forces of the entire Panshan Group.

Although Zhao Guoping was still in further study, he also asked for leave from school to come back to attend the celebration party. The two nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Director, we will definitely do a good job in this regard."

"The Tiger Guard Battalion has suffered casualties, so you must arrange for replacements in a timely manner." Liu Tao said, "The injured soldiers must also be taken care of."

All the injured soldiers are now receiving treatment in Panshan Hospital.

Currently, Panshan Hospital has the best medical conditions in the entire Yunnan Province.

There are 4 Panshan hospitals in the whole Yunnan Province. With the completion of the headquarters, there will be Panshan hospitals. These Panshan hospitals usually serve various factories, but also serve the troops in wartime.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping nodded.

In the evening, company-level cadres from the three combined brigades gathered at the command center.

Li Xinghua is conducting a comprehensive review of the Huben Camp's battles over the past two months.

Although the two months were short, they were very dangerous, with offensive battles, defensive battles, and sneak attacks.
Many of them are things we have never encountered in normal training.

But it is happening on the battlefield.

This shows the advantages of the Huben Camp, as well as its shortcomings.

But the more important manifestation is the advantages that the Huben Battalion has when facing traditional armies.

To be honest, the Annan troops can be said to be students of the Chinese army. It was China that taught the Annan troops how to fight guerrilla warfare and how to conduct defensive counterattacks.

The Annan troops' defensive fortifications were at least 50% to 60% as powerful as the Chinese troops.

But even so, facing the 'Tiger Battalion', the Annan troops could be said to be in a passive position.

Faced with the attack of the Huben Camp, the Annan troops were unable to resist. The tunnels, cat-ear holes, etc. were simply places to bury them.

Weapons such as fuel-air explosives, flamethrowers, and rocket launchers play a very important role here.

"Facts have proved that facing synthetic forces, traditional troops will find it difficult to fight against them, and it will come at a great cost." Li Xinghua has improved a lot after these two months of experience.

He was clearly aware of the change in the mode of warfare.

You know, heavy synthetic forces are inherently limited in such mountain warfare. However, the enemy, who are good at guerrilla warfare and defense and counterattack, were suppressed from beginning to end. Even the division-level attack failed to completely wipe out the Tiger Battalion.

Although the Huben Battalion has reinforcements, this also shows the strength of the combined forces.

In addition to Li Xinghua, others also added information on the situation on the battlefield. After all, Li Xinghua couldn't cover everything.

So the special forces are reporting their combat situations, and other relevant forces are reporting related situations.

The battlefield is the easiest place to train soldiers. After two months of baptism on the battlefield, the entire Tiger Guard Battalion has a different atmosphere. The murderous intent in the soldiers' eyes has become stronger, and their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. The command and combat level of the officers and soldiers has also been tempered and improved.

This kind of battlefield training is much more effective than training at a training base.

After all, on the battlefield, you have to face life and death at any time, and one careless move could result in death.

For a commander, a command error may cause heavy casualties to the troops, and it is even possible that the entire unit will be wiped out.
