Tashkur County, Xinjiang Province, is an uninhabited area with no households within an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
Lin Sanqi stood beside a plateau lake, gazing at the azure waters and the treeless yet majestic snow-capped mountains around it, and suddenly a poetic inspiration struck him:
"The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, looking at the Great Wall inside and outside~~~cough cough cough~~~"
Just as he reached this point in his lyrical expression, Lin Sanqi quickly took the oxygen bottle and took a few breaths, and the lack of oxygen gradually eased.
Xu Tianxing watched from the side with his mouth twitching, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he advised:
"Comrade Sanqi, the lake in front of us is called Bandir Lake, and its altitude is about 5,000 meters. Our main combat area, Kongka Mountain, is over 6,000 meters above sea level, and the oxygen is even thinner. So, Comrade Sanqi should not go to the battlefield."
Lin Sanqi sat down on a rock due to lack of oxygen:
“Okay, okay, I know I can’t reach Kongkazan, and the editor won’t let me write about this war. If I do, I’ll let you eat crabs from the river.
So, let's simulate the environment of Kongkashan and conduct a military exercise on the shore of this lake. By the way, this place is very similar to the geographical environment of Kongkashan?"
Xu Tianxing looked around, nodded and said with a smile:
"It's very similar to the battlefield between us and Baotou. There is also a lake called Rutog Lake there. It is a long and narrow lake, 150 kilometers long, but only 40 meters at its narrowest point.
Now two-thirds of the lake is controlled by us, and one-third is in the hands of Baotou State. Our goal is to take over the entire lake.
There are snow-capped mountains all around Rutog Lake. The bare rocks do not have any trees or flowers, and it looks very desolate.
In terms of economic value, there is no oil, no coal mines, and even no fishery resources. It can be said that there is no economic value at all.
But our land is our land, and we will not give up even a centimeter or a millimeter.
Our current strategic goal is to drive the enemy out of the Kongkazan area and complete a strategic dive on the Baotou Plain, making them sleep restlessly every night."
Lin Sanqi particularly likes this kind of hawkish military personnel. He will fight whether he can win or not.
He couldn't understand why there were conflicts between doves and hawks in foreign armies. Aren't doves the surrenderists?
Can peace be negotiated?
For example, during World War II, the "Munich Conspiracy" that sacrificed Czechoslovakia was an appeasement policy promoted by Britain, France and other countries, but it ultimately failed to stop the pace of fascist aggression, and France was still destroyed.
Doves are purely wishful thinking and self-indulgent. Instead, they will let the enemy know that you are a paper tiger and work harder to destroy you.
The military should be a hawkish world, defending the country, no room for negotiation
If you put one foot into our territory, I will cut off one of your feet; if you put both feet in, I will cripple both of your legs. This is the meaning of the army.
Even if I can't beat you, I will bite off a piece of your flesh. One bite from each of you will be enough to kill you.
The state finances a vast swath of the military, is it just to shout slogans and make concessions? The state might as well support a city management brigade, which might be even more effective.
Therefore, for soldiers like Xu Tianxing and Cao Zhiyang who defended the country, Lin Sanqi would fully support them even if he did not make any money, and provide them with guns and food.
Lin Sanqi had almost finished his rest and asked again, "So the military exercises in three days will be held here?"
Xu Tianxing pointed to a spot by the lake and said:
"In three days, we will be simulating a battlefield here. On one side are snow-capped mountains, and on the other side is a large lake. The battlefield will be right here on the lakeshore.
Comrade Sanqi, you see, the narrow, flat stretch of land along the shore makes it difficult to conduct armored mechanized warfare, so tanks won't be effective there. Once the enemy retreats to the hills, it will be difficult to surround and annihilate them."
Lin Sanqi nodded silently, thinking that in such a high altitude area, even the engine of a tank from the 1960s would probably not be able to start.
Xu Tianxing continued to explain to Lin Sanqi:
“Our war in Empty Kazan is similar to street fighting in the city.
Comrade Sanqi, look, there are protruding rocks everywhere here, which can be described as rugged and strange. The colors are either the white of the snow-capped mountains or the gray of the rocks, which is very monotonous.
If we are in the snow, we can put on a white cloak for camouflage and dig it into the ground so that we can't be seen at all.
By the same token, if we put on gray military uniforms and hide in a pile of rocks, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect us.
Our current battles with the Baotou Kingdom are all small-scale battles.
However, the battlefield is vast, and fighting can occur anywhere, at any time. Coupled with the harsh environment, the casualty rate is actually very high.
Another thing is that sometimes we spotted the enemy through the telescope, but we couldn’t hit them at all because the range of our guns was not enough, so we could only watch the enemy flee.”
Lin Sanqi tried it and hid himself in a pile of rocks, providing good cover, so it was indeed difficult to be discovered.
Then a small team lay in ambush quietly, and attacked when they saw the enemy approaching, and they hit every target.
It was also difficult for the enemy to escape. After all, it was a plateau environment with thin oxygen. They would be out of breath and half dead after running a few steps.
Similarly, the enemy can also use this tactic to attack us.
So don’t underestimate this small-scale conflict, as quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, and the cost is enormous. Who knows how many enemies are hiding in a snowy mountain?
Xu Tianxing continued at this time:
"Comrade Sanqi, you may feel that plateau warfare is an equal challenge for both sides. We all face the same difficulties and the same environment. We cannot always emphasize the difficulties."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he did have such an idea. Don’t always say how difficult our situation is. The people in Baotou are just as difficult.
After all, people in Baotou are not Sherpas who can jump around freely in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau and even smoke a few cigarettes while climbing without any symptoms of hypoxia.
Seeing Lin Sanqi's indifferent expression, Xu Tianxing sighed and said:
"In fact, it's quite the opposite. If this war can't be resolved very quickly and we can't take over the entire territory of Kongkazan soon, we will suffer a great loss.
Because the Ganges Plain is located to the south of the Keshi region, it is very easy for the Baotou Kingdom to obtain supplies. Even their capital is not far from the Keshi region.
(Lin Sanqi thought to himself, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Historically, the Baotou Kingdom almost ended up fighting a battle to defend its capital.)
"Our supply problem is serious. The Kongkashan area is already the highest point in the Himalayas, but behind us is still the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Supply is extremely difficult, so difficult that it could easily drag down the entire country."
Lin Sanqi understood. No wonder the incompetent and playful Baotou State had such ambition and dared to come to our border to seek death.
It is precisely because they see their own advantages and take advantage of our weaknesses that they want to take advantage of us.
In the end, we ran out of ammunition and food like the Eastern Front and had no choice but to retreat.
In the end, the opponent hit a wall and encountered our iron-clad army. In addition, there is now a time traveler named Lin Sanqi who is cheating. We have to strangle these monkeys with their heads wrapped to death.
"Don't worry, Old Xu. With me here, logistics won't be a problem. What we need to worry about now is to deal a heavy blow to the enemy, beat them to tears, and finally use the Ganges as the border, hehe."
Lin Sanqi looked down upon the backward, barbaric and uncivilized monkeys in Baotou from the bottom of his heart.
"Captain Xue, Xiao Xue, are the people I want here?"
Xue Ding stood at attention and replied:
"Reporting to Officer Lin Siling, we have transferred 1,000 people here. Among these 1,000 people, 300 can operate drones, 300 can drive cars, and the remaining 400 are sharpshooters and artillerymen.
These 1,000 men were carefully selected by our Yunnan side to ensure they can perfectly complete the mission assigned to us by Officer Lin Siling and demonstrate to the entire army what a new era of warfare is."
When Lin Sanqi heard that the Yunan soldiers he had requested were in place, he was delighted:
"Okay, it looks like Cao Cao has sent all his best soldiers this time?" (End of this chapter)
