The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Malong Military Training Base.

On the open space, a temporary stage was built, with colorful flags fluttering and bright flowers.

Early in the morning, the troops had already lined up. The heavy composite brigade, medium composite brigade, and light composite brigade, all the soldiers lined up according to the brigade, each brigade, each battalion, and each battalion.

All tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and infantry battlefields were neatly arranged, with their respective company flags, battalion flags, and brigade flags at the forefront.

"Today we will hold a combat commendation meeting. First, the national anthem will be played and the national flag will be raised!" Liu Tao personally served as the host and announced in a loud voice.

Suddenly, during the national anthem, the flag guards raised the national flag, and all the soldiers sang the national anthem.

The singing was loud and the crowd was excited.

"Next, please ask the leaders to review the troops!" Liu Tao announced the second item.

Suddenly, the old man in military uniform, led by Li Fuguo, rode in a military off-road vehicle to review the troops, the three heroic troops that were brave and good at fighting and had created brilliant achievements, and the group of capable and good soldiers.

The old man greeted the soldiers, and the soldiers responded to the old man with a sonorous and powerful voice.

Being able to hold such a large-scale commendation meeting here is the greatest affirmation of their performance on the battlefield.

The soldiers' eyes were full of murderous aura and very sharp.

This is not something that ordinary soldiers can have.

It is a real elite soldier who has fought a hundred battles, a real elite, and is forged with the blood of the enemy.

The old man looked at this unit, as if he saw the veteran who had fought a hundred battles and was invincible decades ago!

Coming out of the battlefield, the old man can be said to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, so he naturally knew what this meant.

It means strong combat effectiveness, and it means that you can be invincible!

Even when facing an enemy with better weapons and equipment and in an advantageous position, they dared to launch a charge and win the battle.

Looking at this elite force that has fought hundreds of battles, he knew that the previous decision was extremely correct.

This is not just about winning a few big battles and destroying a few enemy divisions. More importantly, such a force has a far-reaching impact and can also train a group of commanders with excellent command and combat capabilities.

It is precisely because of this that he personally participated in this commendation meeting, which was also extremely grand.

Then, the commendation meeting was held.

The first one to start was the individual commendation meeting. Because the three combined brigades fought a beautiful battle, 12 soldiers were awarded the honorary title of "First-Class Combat Hero" and 58 soldiers were awarded the honorary title of "Second-Class Combat Hero". As for the first-class medal of honor, the second-class medal of honor, and the third-class medal of honor, they were just like wholesale, and they were awarded as long as they met the standards of military merit.

One by one, the soldiers wore military medals, which they deserved and were also the country's affirmation of them.

That is to say, on the battlefield, it is not easy to get the third-class merit, let alone the second-class merit or even the first-class merit.

In the war years, soldiers can get military merit and be selected for the first-class merit by fighting bravely and putting life and death aside, but in peacetime, this is not feasible.

There is a saying in the army that the first-class merit is exchanged for life, the second-class merit is disabled, and the third-class merit is sweating; the third-class merit is received standing, the second-class merit is received lying down, and the first-class merit is received by family members!

As for the special merit, it has never been awarded since the end of the war in 1953.

But now, the above is very generous and has approved a large number of military medals and honorary titles!

There are also many collective first-class merits and collective second-class merits, and the least has won the third-class merit of the group!

"Award the medium-sized synthetic brigade the 'Tiger Brigade'!" When the old man announced it, the soldiers of the entire medium-sized synthetic brigade were excited.

This means that they also have their own honorary titles.

The Tiger Brigade, just hearing it feels mighty.

Tiger, that is the king of beasts!

The value of these three words, Tiger Brigade, is absolutely great, representing the country's affirmation of the medium-sized synthetic brigade.

This also means that after the heavy synthetic brigade, the Tiger Brigade, the three synthetic brigades have another honorary brigade - the Tiger Brigade!

Li Hua, the brigade commander of the medium synthetic brigade, was full of excitement. Together with the political commissar, he took over the special flag from the leader. The flag was painted with a tiger, grinning and roaring, very majestic.

They have worked hard until now and finally earned this honor for the medium synthetic brigade.

Even if they die, they are willing.

"Award the light synthetic brigade the 'Eagle Brigade'!" the old man announced.

Eagle, like an eagle flying.

This is a great compliment.

Similarly, this is also a great praise.

In terms of the victory of this southward operation, the performance of the light synthetic brigade is second only to the heavy synthetic brigade, and is above the medium synthetic brigade.

It is also through the outstanding performance on the battlefield that the light synthetic brigade has won great honor.

When the exclusive flag of the ‘Eagle Brigade’ appeared, all the soldiers of the light composite brigade had bright eyes and excited faces.

They all knew that this was a great recognition of their superior performance by the country.

In their eyes, this flag that belonged exclusively to the ‘Eagle Brigade’ was so beautiful, beautiful, and majestic.

This flag would be their life in the future, and they would work very hard to keep it from falling.

Even if the entire brigade was sacrificed, this flag could not fall on the battlefield, let alone be captured by the enemy.

When Chen Ping and the political commissar took over the flag of the ‘Eagle Brigade’ and waved it, all the soldiers of the light synthetic brigade cheered and applauded.

The leaders couldn’t help but applaud.

Although the three synthetic brigades did not participate in the war in the south for a long time, their achievements were too impressive.

The three synthetic brigades played the military and national prestige on the battlefield!

These honors are what the three synthetic brigades deserve. Their outstanding performance on the battlefield earned them honors.

At the same time, it was also in this southward battle that the strong combat effectiveness of the synthetic brigade was fully demonstrated at the brigade level.

Although it is a brigade-level combat unit, its firepower is very strong and more flexible than the division level.

There are now many more military experts who agree with synthetic forces than before.

Now more and more military experts believe that synthetic forces will be a construction direction for the mechanization of the troops.

Although this voice is not overwhelming, it is much better than at the beginning.

It's just that everyone is very surprised that both the medium and light combined brigades were commended as brigades, but why was the heavy combined brigade not commended?

Although the flag of the "Tiger Brigade" of the heavy combined brigade is already an extremely important honor, the combined brigade won the most victories and made the most contributions in the southward campaign.

And our army has always been clear about rewards and punishments, rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing faults.

The heavy combined brigade has made so many military achievements, so it is natural that it should be rewarded.
