Chapter 68 Exercise
The command center was brightly lit, and Chief Yang and officers of all sizes were gathered together, and everyone was discussing the three exercises in a lively manner.
The combat methods of the fifth company in these three exercises are actually not uncommon, but small groups of troops have created such results and compared with the opponent's poor response, it is amazing. The discussion on these three exercises has finally become a big discussion on the entire military construction. After ten years of turmoil, the modernization of the army has remained at the level of fifty or sixty years. Military equipment, especially tactical ideas, is backward, and the issue of modernization of the army has long been put on the agenda. However, there is no clear answer to how to build, what kind of army to build, and the future international situation and war form.
"At that time, the conference room made of tents was quite large, but officers from all departments and main forces of the military region came one after another during the exercise, so they had to temporarily add seats in the end. No matter what size of the position, no matter which unit they came from, they discussed the three exercises warmly, and from this exercise, the modernization of our army was discussed in depth. Some of the achievements we achieved later were largely related to this big discussion." An officer recalled.
"This is probably the most far-reaching and obvious discussion in the army since the '*'. It directly affected the modernization of our army. At that time, the meeting minutes after our discussion, the Central Military Commission immediately took over the road of modernization before it dries. Since then, our army embarked on the road of modernization, at least it was reversed from the idea of building the army." The head of a major force recalled.
Before the meeting began, Li Siming was called over by Chief Yang again.
"Comrade Xiao Li, this time I won again, congratulations!" said Chief Yang.
"I see, Chief, you are wrong. It's me who said this. Congratulations on having a special forces unit, although this unit is still far from it." Li Siming didn't appreciate it.
"You have the credit for this too!" Chief Yang laughed, behaved like a good person after getting a bargain.
"It's time for the exercise to end. You see, it's March, can I go back?" Li Siming asked humbly.
"It's over? Not yet, how can I finish it before summarizing it? What should I do?" Chief Yang said, as if he was embarrassed.
"Let's do this, open the skylight and say something bright. What do you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it. Let me go back after it's over."
"So, you see, there are many people here. Everyone is very interested in your booklets. They heard that the authors of these booklets are here and want to hear your speech!" said Chief Yang.
"What? Let me talk about military theories in front of so many officers. Damn it, I'm showing off my skills!" Li Siming thought to himself. These so-called military theories are not their original works at all. At most, they are a recorder and summarist. Khan, why did I do this at the beginning? If I wanted to talk about the principles of equipment, I would talk as long as I want, but my military theory skills would definitely not withstand the questioning of so many people.
"How is it okay, right? Look, we are still planning to hold a summary meeting and a commendation meeting here, and to express condolences to the officers and soldiers participating in the performance, and report on the performance, it will be over in less than a month or two." Chief Yang saw that Li Siming was still hesitating and expressed his embarrassment, saying it was very difficult, and it was really true.
Damn, I'm going to do my best. I haven't seen any scene before. I'm just a few dozen senior officers. I remember that I gave lectures to the head of the Central Military Commission back then, and WHO is afraid of WHO.
"Chief Yang, no problem, but I have one condition, no, two conditions." Li Siming said.
"Tell me."
"First, let me go back after this speech. Second, those five booklets were written by a man named Tang Feng, and they have nothing to do with me in the future!"
"Didn't you admit that you wrote it? Why did you pretend to write it by someone else?" Chief Yang said curiously.
"I said that I need freedom and my future does not want to be restrained. These booklets are an example. I don't want others to think that I am a military because of these booklets." Li Siming stubbornly insisted on his own opinion. Seeing that Chief Yang was very unhappy, he added, "This does not mean that I don't want to have connections with the army. On the contrary, concealing my identity, I can better serve the army. For example, Factory 0916 is an example."
"Okay, I promise you." Chief Yang pondered for a while and finally nodded.
After preparing for it, Li Siming followed Chief Yang into the conference room. When Chief Yang introduced Li Siming to everyone, the conference room became turbulent.
"Who is this? Why haven't you heard of it?" Someone was surprised.
"Is it OK to be so young?" Some people doubted.
"Why did the leader invite a young man to give us a speech? The hair has not grown yet?" Someone sighed.
...
When Li Siming walked into the conference room, he was still a little nervous and kept recalling his thoughts in his heart. He could hear the discussions in the conference room very clearly, "I tolerate it, I will tolerate it. Including my previous life, I am in my thirties." Li Siming thought.
"Dear leaders, comrades:
Today I am honored to be here to give a speech to you. The theme of my speech is "The Future Chinese Army". I believe that everyone here has read this book more or less. Many of the views in the book are worthy of our study and discussion.
First of all, this book makes a lot of sense in the future. China is a big country, and large-scale foreign invasions will not happen to a large extent. In the past, from the 1960s to the late 1970s, mainly due to the sharp deterioration of China's security environment, and the danger of the outbreak of war is estimated to be too serious. Therefore, China adopts the policy of actively defending and luring the enemy into depth, based on dealing with the most difficult situations, and preparing the enemy to fight, fight, and fight nuclear war early. However, under the shadow of nuclear terror, 1,000 nuclear bombs are the same as 100 nuclear bombs. But it does not mean that because nuclear war will not break out, we will not encounter war. According to my judgment, there are signs that there will be a war in southern Xinjiang." Li Siming noticed that Chief Yang frowned.
"Comrade Li, why do you have such a judgment?" Someone asked a question on the spot.
"Why do we have such a view? Let's look at the current world situation map, the US-Soviet battle for hegemony, the Warsaw Pact and NATO confrontation; China and the Soviet Union are in a bad relationship, and the Soviet Union has deployed millions of troops on the Sino-Soviet border; diplomatic establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States, and the two countries have had a good relationship in recent years, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction with the Warsaw Pact. This is a triangular relationship, and any two-angle alliance is enough to gain the upper hand. We will turn our attention to Southeast Asia and hear about some situations, and these countries regard overseas Chinese as "communists", and
The situation on the Indochina Peninsula is deteriorating. If an alliance is formed in the Mekong River Basin, this alliance is undoubtedly an anti-China alliance. If this alliance is to be formed, it will form a strategic encirclement on our country and also regard our country as its only enemy. Similarly, we do not want to see this alliance formed in our backyard. Our Chinese saying of Yelang is as if this Yelang country has some geographical connection with this country. I think this country should be Yelang arrogance!"
The meeting room burst into laughter. Li Siming was not talking nonsense. The military had already found out that as early as 1972, in the documents seized by the Chinese border defense forces, the Vietnamese authorities began to regard our country as an enemy in 1972. Given that the war against the United States needed our country's support, they did not openly make this policy public.
Li Siming continued: "If we have a war with this country, it will be a local war, but the tragic level of this war will be comparable to that of the Korean battlefield. Some comrades may not believe it. We can analyze that our army has not experienced actual combat for more than 20 years, while the other side is a general of war, and the long-term war includes anti-Japanese, anti-French, and anti-US, allowing them to have all the troops. The rich combat experience is incomparable to us. Looking at the weapons and equipment, I don't think we are more advanced than the other side in equipment, the other side uses AK, far
It is much more reliable than the Type 56 we imitated. I heard from the comrades in the military factory that we designed our own Type 63 rifle, now it is dismounted. The reason is that there are too many problems. Ten years* has caused us to lose a lot. If our soldiers are allowed to fight with such guns, it is undoubtedly a murder. In terms of the air force, the MiG21 and MiG23 fighters assisted by the Soviet Union are already equipped with the country's standard equipment, and China is still using the J-6. The fighter jets do not have all-weather combat capabilities at present. However, even so, I think we will win, but it will cost a certain price."
No one has expressed any doubts about Li Siming anymore. These issues are objectively existing problems, which are also what they hate deeply, and no one can deny this. Some people say that soldiers only have national interests, but in fact, soldiers also have their own interests. In addition to personal treatment, it is their interests to be able to spend more military funds and more advanced weapons and equipment.
"So how to change these unfavorable aspects?" someone asked. Li Siming successfully grasped the audience's psychology and introduced the audience's thoughts into the topic of his speech.
Li Siming continued: "In terms of weapons and equipment, Harbin 0916 Factory has successfully developed a relatively advanced set of light weapons and equipment. I heard that it has been mass-produced. I suggest that the production scale is now increased and the southern troops are given priority." Li Siming then invited Director Jiang to advertise.
"The most important thing is to change the tactics of the People's Liberation Army. If we still rely on infantry with dense formations and use "man sea tactics" to attack the enemy's positions, it will definitely cost a huge price. Therefore, in the long run, the Chinese army must launch joint troops attacks, infantry, tanks, artillery, missiles, air force and even military satellites to form an integrated combat method and establish a real offensive theory.
In modern local wars, we must implement the strategic idea of active defense, and improve the joint combat capabilities of the army. But everyone knows that we are still far from joint combat now. Our army, infantry, infantry, infantry, and joint combat between infantry and tanks, and land-air and air combat, not to mention joint combat between land, sea and air. This requires a large amount of advanced communication, command, control system, a large amount of scientific training, and a large number of talents. Therefore, in the long run, the army must strengthen its efforts in strengthening the army in science and technology and training. To achieve these, it requires a lot of military expenditure.
The current serious situation of swelling, dispersing, arrogance, extravagance and laziness in the Chinese army. With the advancement of science and technology, we should maintain a scale of about 2.5 million. This requires China to aim at the current and future requirements of revolutionizing, younger, knowledgeable and professionalizing the cadre team, attach importance to the application of science and technology in the military, and use the "five sentences" to guide and regulate the quality construction of our army." Li Siming once again "plagiarized" the military-building ideas of later generations, and he has no shameful awareness of stealing at all.
"In addition, our army must overcome the idea of fighting a big war and decisive battle. In the future war, combat under special conditions will be a major aspect of low-concentration war. Our army was seriously lacking in the understanding of landing operations at Kinmen back then, which was a painful lesson. The third exercise in the past few days was particularly the third exercise. In the forest in the cold area, the 507th Battalion of Hunter did not have any training to survive in the wild. In the absence of supply and harsh environment, non-combat reductions in combat who withdrew from combat due to hunger, cold and fatigue accounted for more than half of the total reductions."
Li Siming gave a brief speech on his five books, using a large number of facts and war examples to vividly show the major changes in future military thought, allowing him to find the feeling of leading the project team. Of course, his views are only the views of later generations, some of which are immediately approved, and some are refreshing. Of course, not everyone agrees. A considerable number of people argue with each other, and the entire conference room is like a debate meeting. This reminds Li Siming of the debate he saw in college. Each argument automatically argues with each other, and he is anxious and slams the table and stares at each other, and no one accepts. People who usually have good relationships also compete with each other and have a thick neck. After another question, the people who were scolding each other just now immediately became allies. Li Siming glanced at Chief Yang. He smoked cigarettes, savored tea, and looked at him without caring at all.
The meeting lasted for one night for a whole day and two nights, and no one had a rest except for eating and going out. Once each topic was recognized by everyone, Chief Yang seemed to wake up and called a serviceman to record it. The phone call next to the conference room kept ringing. Li Siming heard that it was people of different identities who called to ask about the results of the discussion. He heard that the other end of the phone was even more urgent than here.
The meeting conclusion was written in a thick book. After reading it carefully, Chief Yang took out a pen and signed it casually, and it was taken away. This meeting minutes was later called the "Minutes of the Military Reorganization of 1978".
After the meeting, Li Siming breathed a sigh of relief. These people were all Cheng Yaojin. They fought for nothing, but their heads were still buzzing. Fortunately, they could leave now. Seeing that Chief Yang didn't say anything, they quickly cleaned up and stopped a military vehicle. As fast as possible, they could stay away from this place. However, this time they gained a lot, and they met many big people, and they could call each other brothers.
What he didn't notice was that a little old man stared at his back, squinted his eyes and smiled, "The monk ran away, can't the temple run away, right?"
