Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

At this time, Zhong Sheng, the commander of the 54th Army, took over Liu Ming's topic and expressed his own opinions and views.

"Comrades, what our Political Commissar Liu said just now is very correct and insightful.

But I want to emphasize one point here. This is the result of discussions at the military meeting. In other words, no matter how hard or difficult this mission is, our 54th Army must complete it. Deputy Commander He and I have also discussed this issue in depth.

We plan to use his 1st Combined Brigade and 2nd Combined Brigade as the main force to go to Plateau Province and confront the Indian Army on the McMahon Line. We try our best to avoid large-scale conflicts, maintain restraint and rationality, but we must fight for every inch of land and not give up an inch. Our 54th Army, as the general reserve, will remain in the mountain city on standby.

Of course, I know that the requirements I just mentioned are a bit unreasonable, but this is the only solution at the moment, and I hope you can understand. "

When everyone present heard their commander say this, they all fell silent.

Then, seeing that no one was talking anymore, Zhong Sheng spoke again, "Since no one has any objection, let's implement this battle plan for now."

Deputy Army Commander He, Brigade Commander Zhang, and Brigade Commander Huang will stay, and the rest of you can leave the meeting! "

After everyone left, the only people left in the entire military command post were Deputy Army Commander He Daming, First Combined Brigade Commander Zhang Yang, Second Combined Brigade Commander Huang Fa, Political Commissar Liu Ming and Army Commander Zhong Sheng.

As the army commander, Zhong Sheng spoke first.

“Ladies and gentlemen, what we are going to discuss next is our deployment to Plateau Province this time.

Although the Plateau Province currently belongs to our China, the local culture and customs are very different, and the locals are very xenophobic, so it is still difficult to gain the full support of the local people.

In addition, regarding the 2000-kilometer disputed border in Plateau Province, what are your good opinions and plans? "

As soon as Zhong Sheng finished speaking, He Daming took over his topic and took out the topographic maps of Plateau Province and Tianzhu Kingdom.

Spread it out on the conference table and start talking.

"Commander, Political Commissar, and two brigade commanders, you see, there are three sections of disputed territory between China and India.

First is the western section, which is about 601 kilometers long from Kunlun Pass to Barigas, and covers an area of ​​more than 3 square kilometers. Currently, about 450 square kilometers of land in the Barigas area is in the hands of Tianzhu, and the rest is in the hands of China.

Look here, this is the middle section, from Juwa to Purang, the total length is 450 kilometers, there are 4 disputed areas, with a total area of ​​2000 square kilometers, all of which are currently in the hands of India;

Finally, look at this side. This is the eastern section, which is also the border between Butan, northern Myanmar, and Tianzhu. The disputed area here is 9 square kilometers. It is 1100 kilometers long and is also known as the McMahon Red Line. It is still in the hands of China. "

He Daming paused for a moment, then continued talking about the previous topic.

"Oh, I have another point to make. In order to curb the expansion of Tianzhu, it would be extremely unrealistic for our army to station a large number of troops in the three areas of Plateau Province and Tianzhu.

First of all, the average altitude of the plateau province reaches several thousand meters. Secondly, the altitude sickness there is very serious, which will cause soldiers to suffer from acclimatization.

In addition, the place is covered in snow and the weather is freezing cold in winter, which is completely unsuitable for survival. In addition, most of the roads there are mountain roads and are winding, making it very difficult to deliver supplies.

Therefore, considering the above-mentioned harsh conditions, it is still unrealistic for us to station troops here.

So I thought of a way to cut tofu with a knife to make it smooth on both sides. I personally think that we can set up strongholds and outposts in these three areas to monitor the opponent's every move.

If the other side launches a large-scale military operation, we will make other plans."

When everyone heard He Daming's suggestion, they all thought about it carefully, and finally felt that his approach was the most labor-saving and convenient way.

Then, Army Commander Zhong Sheng interrupted and said, “Everyone, I think Deputy Army Commander He’s suggestion is very good.

It is very original and insightful, and it is in line with the actual situation of our army and our national conditions. Do you have anything to add?"

At this time, the commander of the 1st Combined Brigade, Zhang Yang, immediately spoke up and expressed his opinion.

"Commander, Deputy Commander, I think our transportation and supply is still a very big problem.

The conditions in Plateau Province were far worse than we had imagined. The terrain was muddy and some areas did not even have roads, making supply difficult.

Using traditional trucks to transport supplies, and because of the high altitude, the cost of transporting each grain of rice and each vegetable is much higher than in other areas, and the military has not allocated more funds to us, which will cause a very serious problem for our supply. "

Zhang Yang's words reminded He Daming.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the question raised by Brigade Commander Zhang just now is very good. I think we can discuss with the local government to build a new Gaonan Highway to directly connect the north and south sides, so that we can effectively transport materials.

In addition, regarding the issue of daily necessities, I found that there is a large amount of uncultivated wasteland near our 54th Army’s base.

We might as well mobilize the soldiers to participate in the campaign to reclaim wasteland, make use of these abandoned lands, grow fruits, vegetables and various crops, and if conditions permit, raise livestock.

As for why I have such an idea, it is because currently our 54th Army sends soldiers to the city to purchase daily food, clothing and other necessities, and it costs a lot of money every day. By doing this, we can greatly reduce costs and improve the food of the entire army.

This way we won’t be controlled by others, and from time to time we can also provide better food to our friendly troops on the front line.”

He Daming's move and suggestion were well received by everyone present. Political Commissar Liu Ming interrupted and said, "Deputy Commander He, I think your proposal is great, and I personally agree with it.

Because in this way, we can be self-sufficient and no longer have to look up to others or be controlled by others."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Army Commander Zhong Sheng approved it and began to mobilize the entire army to carry out large-scale land reclamation.
