The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1015 Emergency Support

The military camp is permanent, but the soldiers are transient!
It has been like this since ancient times.

Every year, old soldiers leave the barracks and new soldiers arrive.

The spring conscription begins after the Spring Festival. After initial military training, batches of soldiers are assigned to military camps across the country.

There are also troops that go to universities to recruit soldiers. College students will be given platoon-level treatment when they join the army, undergraduate students will be given deputy company-level treatment or company-level treatment, and even some special talents can be given deputy battalion-level or even battalion-level treatment.

The army has also spent a lot of money to attract talents.

After all, it is not enough to rely solely on military academies to train talents, and it cannot meet the needs of military construction.

Zhong Yuemin was inspecting the training of new recruits in the military camp at this time.

He looked very young, but was strong and sturdy with a broad back and strong shoulders, and had a strong military demeanor. He was filled with murderous aura and no one dared to look him in the eye.

Zhong Yuemin is not very old. He graduated from a military academy in 1995. After joining the army, he served as platoon leader and company instructor. In 1998, he was promoted to company commander and deputy battalion commander during the southward battle. He was appointed battalion commander not long ago.

As a battalion-level cadre at the age of 28, responsible for leading a mountain combat battalion, Zhong Yuemin has a bright future.

During the three-month leave, Zhong Yuemin got married, and when he returned to the army, his new wife was two months pregnant.

Under the reluctant gaze of his wife, Zhong Yuemin resolutely embarked on the journey back to the army.

According to the latest regulations, family members of regular battalion officers can be arranged to accompany the troops. However, Zhong Yuemin did not apply for family members to accompany the troops, considering that the troops were located in a rainforest with a harsh environment, inconvenient transportation, and relatively poor medical conditions.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the companies conducting recruit training and nodded slightly.

The battalion he was in was a mountain combat battalion, specialized for combat in the terrain environment of the southwestern border.

Suddenly, the instructor trotted over and whispered in Zhong Yuemin's ear.

Zhong Yuemin's face changed, then he went to the office and picked up the phone.

"Yes! I understand! Please rest assured that I will complete the mission!" Zhong Yuemin looked serious and then convened a meeting of the battalion command.

At the same time, the emergency assembly bell rang. The entire camp stopped training. Each company commanded its troops, quickly went to collect weapons, put on bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets, fully armed, and then gathered together.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin had finished the meeting and then conveyed orders to the soldiers. Except for a few people who stayed behind to guard the camp, the rest of the battalion set out.

15 minutes later, Zhong Yuemin arrived at the destination. He heard continuous gunshots, which made Zhong Yuemin feel depressed.

Zhong Yuemin held a loudspeaker and ordered both sides to cease fire, but was attacked by one of the sides.

Suddenly, Zhong Yuemin almost knew which side was the enemy.

He commanded his troops, divided the battlefield, and three companies attacked from three sides.

He led the guard squad to the side where there were fewer people.

"Reporting to the commander, the XX Battalion of the XX Brigade has been ordered here. Please give your instructions!" Zhong Yuemin was very surprised to see the people protected by the guards. He recognized that the target to be protected this time was the nationally famous Liu Tao.

Liu Tao looked a little embarrassed at this time.

Seeing the reinforcements arriving, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the reinforcements arrive late this time, he will have to die here.

"Comrade, thank you for coming to our rescue in time!" Liu Tao calmed himself down and said to Zhong Yuemin, "Please try to capture these people alive."

There were about a hundred people on the other side, with no heavy weapons, mainly rifles and pistols.

It is precisely because of this that his guard has been able to hold out until now.

"Yes, Commander!" Zhong Yuemin saluted and then commanded the soldiers to fight.

After hiding, Liu Tao no longer paid attention to the exchange of fire between the two sides. Although his face seemed calm, his heart was already burning with anger.

His whereabouts are top secret and his security is also at the highest level.

But the other party actually found out his whereabouts and set up an ambush here in advance. If there is no problem here, Liu Tao would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

And why was it an infantry battalion that came, instead of Air Force fighter jets coming to provide air fire support, or Army Aviation helicopters coming to provide support?

Fighter jets and helicopters are much faster than infantry.

Liu Tao's guards did not participate in the firefight, but protected Liu Tao. Their duty was to protect Liu Tao's safety.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, they are no longer needed in the battle.

Zhong Yuemin commanded the troops to fight. The enemy only had rifles and pistols, while Zhong Yuemin's side was carrying machine guns and mortars, and their firepower was much more fierce.

The powerful firepower suppressed the enemy, making them unable to raise their heads, even if they had the advantage of terrain and were in a dominant position.

Zhong Yuemin had a battalion of troops, which gave him an advantage in both manpower and firepower.

The enemy had no strong defensive fortifications and could not stop Zhong Yuemin's attack at all.

After just over ten minutes, the opponent couldn't hold on any longer and began to retreat.

This retreat resulted in a crushing defeat.

Suddenly it became a matter of capturing prisoners.

Half an hour later, the battle was over.

"Report to the commander, 23 enemies were killed, 42 were wounded, 58 were captured, and not a single enemy escaped!" Zhong Yuemin came to report to Liu Tao in person ten minutes later.

Liu Tao asked, "How many casualties did the soldiers suffer?"

"Report to the commander, 13 soldiers died and 59 were injured!" Zhong Yuemin saluted.

Liu Tao was silent. The casualties in just one battalion reached 72 people, which was more than 10%.

Including his guards, there were 26 guards, 4 of whom were killed and 9 were injured.

Liu Tao became even more furious. This matter would never be settled in this way. If not for himself, then for the sacrifices and injuries, he had to seek justice.

"Captain Zhong, take these people back and wait for the relevant departments to investigate and interrogate them!" Liu Tao ordered.

"Yes, Chief!" Zhong Yuemin saluted.

Afterwards, under the escort of the troops, Liu Tao and his party arrived at the military camp, which also activated the first level of combat readiness, ready to fight at any time.

The helicopter arrived at the military camp and transported the injured soldiers to Panshan Hospital for treatment.

Even Liu Tao was transported to Panshan Hospital by helicopter for examination.

At the same time, the relevant departments took action, which this time stirred up a hornet's nest.

A strict order has been issued from above that this matter must be investigated thoroughly.

After a detailed inspection, Liu Tao returned to Panshan Group that evening, escorted by security personnel dispatched by the Panshan Group Armed Forces Department.

Liu Tao was boiling water to make tea. He did not go home to rest. He was waiting for the results of the investigation.

He wanted to see who hated him so much and wanted to kill him.

Being able to do such a thing, and almost completing it, is not something that ordinary people can do. The energy required for this is extremely amazing.

Liu Tao believes in the capabilities of the relevant departments. After all, as long as they do it, there will inevitably be clues left behind. It is impossible that there will be no mistakes.

And why was the first to come to support an infantry battalion, rather than fighter jets or Army Aviation helicopters?

Liu Tao's face was calm, but anger was still burning in his heart.
