The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 425 Situation

Kun City, beside Dianchi Lake.

Panshan Group headquarters building.

A meeting is being held in the conference room of the Armed Forces Department.

Li Fuguo was introducing the situation of the guerrillas in Sikkim, Bhutan and Myanmar.

"So far, the guerrilla base has expanded a lot and controls about half of the area. The most important thing is that the guerrilla bases in Sikkim and Bhutan are connected. We have airdropped seven batches of supplies to the guerrillas." Li Fuguo pointed to the map. The conspicuous red and blue on the map were very eye-catching. "The special forces sent two special squadrons over. They will help the guerrillas expand their advantage."

One special forces squadron has 300 people, and two special forces squadrons have 600 people!
You know, the three combined brigades only have one special forces battalion, which is 3000 people!
The two special squadrons already account for one-fifth of the special brigade's strength.

"In the direction of Myanmar, our two special squadrons are also fighting in cooperation with the Myanmar guerrillas." Li Fuguo pointed in the direction of Myanmar.

After receiving the order, they took action immediately.

"So far, the Sikkim and Bhutan guerrillas have cut off the corridor and divided it into two, making it impossible for the Indian troops in the east to get reinforcements and supplies." Li Fuguo pointed at the narrow 27-kilometer corridor with his baton. "The next is the flood season. It will not be easy for the Indian army to attack the guerrillas in the corridor. Now the guerrillas are carrying out grievance campaigns nearby, cracking down on their lackeys and distributing their land to poor people."

Since we are a guerrilla force, we naturally have to carry forward our fine traditions.

The grievance movement, the fight against the landlords and the distribution of land were things that were proven to be correct decades ago.

Guerrilla warfare, combined with these two movements, was invincible.

It was with the help of these two magic weapons that the guerrillas continued to grow like a snowball.

The guerrilla forces in Sikkim and Bhutan now have a total strength of 30,000 people, which is much larger than before the war.

Those ordinary people were not harmed at all.

Those who surrendered to the third brother became local tyrants and were the ones to be repaid later.

"The more troublesome thing now is that the Myanmar government forces are ready to make moves." Li Fuguo pointed in the direction of Myanmar.

About one-third of the country is controlled by Myanmar government forces.

One third of the territory belongs to the guerrillas, and one third belongs to the big families or tribes.

"If they dare to move, we will teach them a lesson. We will also ask the neighboring forces to go into the woods to pick up guns and ammunition. We will tell them that as long as they cooperate with us, the trees can grow guns and ammunition." Liu Tao said, "If they don't cooperate with us, don't blame us for being ruthless in the future."

Opportunities are rare now. If we don’t take advantage of this chance to make a big move, it will be difficult to make big moves in the future.

Zhao Guoping introduced the situation of supplies, which mainly included daily necessities as well as firearms and ammunition.

There is definitely no way to get heavy equipment. It is already very rare to have heavy machine guns and medium mortars. The guerrillas can only rely on captured large-caliber artillery.

The Himalayas, like a natural barrier, make supply very difficult.

Even if we rent a transport plane for airdrop, we won’t be able to drop too much.

Afterwards, Li Fuguo introduced the situation in the Kashmir region. Two months have passed since the outbreak of the fourth India-Pakistan war.

Now both sides have deployed more than 100,000 troops on the battlefield. The whole of Kashmia has become a meat grinder, with battles breaking out every day.

Fighting on the ground, fighting in the air.

This time, the third brother seemed to have gone crazy. Even though he suffered heavy losses, he did not retreat, but instead increased his troops.

It has to be said that as a populous country with a population of nearly 8 million, China now has 150 million troops, which is quite sufficient in terms of military strength, and its reserve forces are also considerable.

Even though they were fighting on multiple fronts, they still had no shortage of troops. "What are the casualties among the mercenaries?" Liu Tao asked.

Li Fuguo said: "The mercenaries did not fight the Indian army head-on, but fought a guerrilla war. So far, ten people have died and forty have been injured."

Liu Tao nodded slightly, the casualties were not that great.

Mercenaries fight guerrilla warfare, this is a fine tradition that has been passed down for decades and is ingrained in their bones.

In addition, in Kashmia, it is much easier to supply mercenaries with materials.

In order to strengthen the strength of the mercenaries, Liu Tao equipped the mercenaries with a total of 78 Type 78 heavy sniper rifles and Type heavy machine guns. As for rocket launchers, he mobilized of them.

The combat order Liu Tao gave to the mercenaries was not to fight a head-on battle with the Indian army, but to fight a guerrilla war.

Keep tiring the Indian army and then consume it.

"The pension and resettlement work for the injured soldiers must be done properly. They are not just mercenaries, but also soldiers! We must not let them bleed and cry!" Liu Tao said in a deep voice: "As for the special forces, we must do a good job in related work. As the military and political leaders, you two must spend more time on this aspect."

"If the family members of the soldiers come to my house one day, I will hold you two accountable!"

"Please rest assured, Director, nothing will go wrong!" said Zhao Guoping.

Li Fuguo said: "Now that so many mercenaries have been mobilized to Crimea, there will inevitably be a shortage of mercenaries in other places. Should we recruit another batch of mercenaries?"

"Well, you guys go and do this. I think some of the retired soldiers will be willing to become mercenaries!" Liu Tao nodded.

Naturally, not everyone can make a living as a mercenary.

They must be veterans. These veterans have mastered skills and can go to the battlefield with weapons.

Many of the soldiers who were laid off were very good soldiers.

The winding river flows continuously.

Kashmir Valley, this beautiful land, already belongs to Pakistan.

An independent mountain brigade of the Indian Army originally stationed here was wiped out.

At this time, in the Kashmir Valley, the Pakistani army was fighting a hard battle.

Because in order to retake Kashmir, the Indian army mobilized two mountain divisions.

The mountain division mainly fights in the mountains. Due to the mountainous terrain, they cannot use heavy weapons, only light weapons, and their means of transportation are just ordinary trucks. Most of the time, they have to walk.

The Pakistani army deployed a mountain brigade here to resist the two mountain divisions of the Indian Army.

Neither side was willing to retreat. One side wanted to defend the Kashmir Valley that it had captured with great difficulty, while the other side wanted to take back the Kashmir Valley and avenge its previous humiliation.

The Kashmir Valley is the largest river valley basin in Kashmir, namely the upper valley of the Jhelum River. It is bordered by the Himalayas to the north and the Pir Panjal Mountains to the south. It is 135 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide. It is the most populous and agriculturally developed area in Kashmir.

Whoever occupies this place will have a huge advantage!
At the very least, they have a huge advantage in terms of supply of daily necessities.

For the Pakistani army, occupying the Kashmir Valley means they can recruit a large number of soldiers here and there is no need to mobilize troops from the rear.

In the future, based on the Kashmir Valley, they will slowly infiltrate the surrounding Indian-controlled areas. It is estimated that it will only take a dozen or twenty years for the entire Indian-controlled area to be completely infiltrated.
