Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Second, we should consider shifting from a traditional defense model to a scientific defense model."

"Oh, that's interesting. Tell me more about it..."

Commander Xu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes!"

"The first is to proactively attack. During this period, Captain Long Jian led the Special Operations Battalion and the comrades from the Reconnaissance Company of the 423nd Regiment of the 2rd Division to proactively launch harassment operations against the enemy's forward base in the direction of Napo. They basically completely suppressed the enemy's forward base, forcing them to retreat into their caves and linger."

"Although they did send reinforcements from the rear several times, the results were not ideal. Instead, they were attacked by our special operations team, resulting in considerable casualties and material losses."

"The most important thing is that we only deployed a few hundred people, and the number of troops we maintained in enemy territory for a long time was only a few dozen, but we completely changed the situation along the nearly 100-kilometer border in the direction of Napo."

"In the past, the Anlang people took the initiative, and we were passively defensive. Napo Commune alone, with a population of around 10,000, had to maintain a core militia patrol of over 500 men year-round, and the same was true for the other communes. A rough estimate suggests that along this 100-kilometer border, based on past practices, we would have had to maintain patrols of over 3,000 men year-round, and the garrison troops would have been on constant alert. Over time, this manpower cost became prohibitive."

"It's like we're being led by the nose by the Anlang people."

"They come over and make trouble whenever they want, and when they don't want to make trouble anymore, they just stay home and sleep."

"On our side, we must maintain a large-scale defensive posture for years and months."

"Compared to this, they only had a few hundred men to hold back tens of thousands of our troops. If applied to the entire province, this ratio would be even more alarming. Not to mention the people in the border areas, who are terrified and unable to concentrate on production."

“This is too bad of a deal.”

"What virtue and ability does the Anlang people have to dare to take the initiative from us?"

"well said!"

Commander Xu slammed his big, thick hands on the table again and praised loudly.

"I've fought all my life, and I understand one thing: a good son is born under the stick!"

"These bastards won't behave themselves unless we teach them a lesson!"

"Yes, Commander, that's a very insightful observation!"

Liu Hongyi said immediately, not flattering at all, it was just what he really thought in his mind at the moment.

"So, the establishment of this special operations brigade by our Southern Military Region has proven to be very necessary. Now the situation has just reversed, and we have suppressed them with only a few hundred troops."

"The Anlang people are so busy taking care of themselves that the border towards Napo has been extremely quiet lately. They haven't even dared to send a single person over. Eighty percent of the militia patrols from Napo Commune and the three nearby communes have been disbanded. Only a few patrols remain to patrol key areas. They can basically leave other areas alone."

"Local comrades can all breathe a sigh of relief."

"Commander, Secretary Tai, I believe that special operations and sustained harassment are feasible. We need to shift the pressure onto them."

"Our Zhennan shares a thousand-kilometer-long land border with Anlang Country, involving eight counties and several million people."

"We cannot allow these millions of people to live in constant anxiety. We must reassure them, so they can settle down and devote themselves to their daily production and lives."

"Fighting is the army's business!"

"The army should be the guardian of the people!"

Liu Hongyi spoke in a sonorous tone with a resolute expression.

Tai Zhengyang and Han Keying couldn't help but nod repeatedly, completely agreeing with Liu Hongyi's opinion.

"So my first suggestion is that the Special Operations Battalion should be fully staffed as soon as possible. The organization can even be expanded a bit, perhaps to a reinforced regiment or even a division-brigade level..."
