The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 486 The Greatest Affirmation
Soon.

The old man then announced the reward for the heavy combined brigade.

As the Hong Kong garrison next year!

The first garrison in Hong Kong!

This is definitely a huge reward for the Heavy Combined Brigade, and it is also the greatest affirmation and praise for the Heavy Combined Brigade!
You have to know that this is the first garrison in Hong Kong. It is the first time after the founding of the Republic that the forcibly leased territory was taken back from the powers. This is also the first Chinese troop to land in Hong Kong since the Opium War. This will go down in history!
At the same time, as a symbol of national sovereignty, the Hong Kong Garrison is a force with special tasks and missions. It must not only safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, but also show the world the glorious image of our army as a mighty and civilized force.

The Hong Kong Garrison is directly under the Central Military Commission. It is a combined force composed of the army, navy and air force. It has one army infantry brigade, one naval ship brigade and one air force aviation regiment under its jurisdiction.

在此之前，海军舰艇大队已经确定，乃是由‘香江号’驱逐舰为首、配备‘港岛号’护卫舰，以及配备8艘022型导弹艇、2艘022A鱼雷艇、1艘83型扫雷艇、一艘补给舰。

It can be said that this naval fleet was specially formed. Although it is brand new, its strength is unquestionable.

As for the Hong Kong Garrison Air Force Aviation Regiment, it has also been confirmed that it is the 34st Squadron of the 24th Division of the Air Force. This is a combat collective that has enjoyed many honors. It has undertaken special aircraft missions for many leaders and has also participated in rescue work in major earthquakes, floods in South China, and the Greater Khingan Range fire. It is praised by the people in the disaster-stricken areas as "divine soldiers from heaven." It is now equipped with 14 F-15, F16, and F6 fighter jets, as well as "Black Hawk helicopters."

There is no doubt about the strength of this aviation corps!

The only thing that has not been confirmed so far is the Army Infantry Brigade!
And this is what all the troops are most coveting. The ace troops with glorious military history are very envious.

There are three combined brigades, and they are competing fiercely with each other for this. They train very hard on a regular basis, and one of their important goals is to become the first garrison in Hong Kong.

Liu Tao was also surprised. He did not expect the leader to announce the appointment directly at this time. He thought that by the end of the year, various troops would compete and test each other, and finally select the best ones to become the first garrison in Hong Kong.

If he remembered correctly, the first garrison in Hong Kong in the original time and space was finally chosen to be the 42th Regiment of the 487nd Army. This unit has a glorious history. Its predecessor was the Red st Regiment of the Central Soviet Area during the Agrarian Revolutionary War. It was a team with a glorious history formed by the armed workers and peasants of the Autumn Harvest Uprising in . During the revolutionary struggle period in Jinggangshan and the Central Soviet Area, the regiment participated in famous battles such as the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the Battle of Chaling, the Attack on Yongxin, and the Five Anti-"Encirclement and Suppression" Campaigns.

The bloody battles at Xiangjiang River, the breakthrough at Wujiang River, the crossing of Dadu River by 17 brave warriors, the crossing of snow-capped mountains and grasslands, the four crossings of Chishui River, and the battle of Zhiluo Town are all famous. They made historic and outstanding contributions to the final victory of the Red Army's Long March and the establishment and consolidation of the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the "Red 115st Regiment" was reorganized into the st Regiment of the th Division. The regiment fought the first battle at Pingxingguan, attacked Dalonghua at night, fought at Huangtuling, fought bloody battles at Langya Mountain..., and fought against the enemy more than a hundred times, with outstanding achievements. It killed the Japanese "flower of famous generals" Lieutenant General Abe Nobuhide, and produced heroic groups such as the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and the "Huangtuling Meritorious Artillery Company".

During the War of Liberation, the regiment went to the Northeast battlefield and was reorganized into the 48th Regiment of the 142nd Division of the 424th Army of the Northeast Field Army. It fought all the way from the Northeast to Jiangxi, liberated Nankang, and returned to Jinggangshan and the Central Soviet Area.

Even the soldiers no longer maintained their original standing posture, but hugged and celebrated with their comrades around them.

Although the soldiers of the medium and light combined brigades were inevitably a little disappointed, they also gave applause and cheers to the heavy combined brigade at this time.

The three combined brigades are true brother forces, connected by blood.

In the final analysis, it all originated from the first heavy composite battalion of that year! Even the military and political leaders of the three composite brigades, Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, personally served as the brigade commander and political commissar of the heavy composite brigade.

Among the three combined brigades, the heavy combined brigade has always been the big brother!
Now that the heavy combined brigade has received this honor, they are naturally happy about it.

After all, it is yours in the final analysis, and it is much better than letting the honor fall to other troops.

The old man watched the scene with a smile and did not stop the soldiers from celebrating.

This kind of elite force regards honor as their life and is truly an elite force that can, dares and is good at fighting.

To be honest, he had never thought that he was just conducting an experiment at the time. Since the army didn't need to spend money anyway, it didn't matter if the training succeeded or not. As a result, he built a heavy synthetic battalion that made a big splash in its first battle.

When he later formed a heavy composite brigade, he was just trying it out. He always had to have a dream, what if it came true? So when others were skeptical or even opposed it, he overcame all objections and allowed the Panshan Group to form a heavy composite brigade based on the heavy composite battalion.

You know, this decision is earth-shattering and breaks the convention.

At that time, everyone believed that the construction of the Chinese army should be towards mechanized troops, which would go through the construction of motorized troops, semi-mechanized troops and finally mechanized troops.

During the entire process, given China's military strength and the decision to focus on economic development, the troops need to be patient and military spending is destined to be limited. It may take China even 50 years to achieve this goal. Some people are even pessimistic and believe that it would be great if a mechanized force could be built in a hundred years.

No one would have thought that the heavy combined brigade and then three combined brigades, corresponding to the heavy combined brigade, medium combined brigade and light combined brigade respectively, would be able to exert such tremendous power on the battlefield after these three combined brigades were completed.

Although the consumption of the three combined brigades was far greater than the sum of the other divisions, the results achieved were extremely brilliant with very few casualties.

This made the old man see the future direction of troop construction, which is synthesis!
Many of the operations here are novel methods of warfare, such as informationized warfare, precision-guided missiles, and precision-guided bombs.

Like the troops, they can communicate over a large area directly through communication satellites.

In addition, through satellites, the enemy's dynamics and organized troop movements are monitored in real time. Almost every move is under the control of the combined brigade.

The more you learn about the operations of the three combined forces brigades, the more shocked you will be.
