A doctor who travels through two eras

Tashkur County in Xinjiang Province is an uninhabited area, with no households within a radius of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Lin Sanqi stood beside a high-altitude lake, gazing at the blue waters and the majestic, treeless snow-capped mountains surrounding it, and was suddenly inspired to write poetry:
"The northern scenery is breathtaking: a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow, gazing upon the Great Wall... cough cough cough..."

Just as she finished expressing her feelings, Lin Sanqi quickly grabbed the oxygen cylinder and took a few breaths, which gradually relieved her oxygen deficiency.

Xu Tianxing watched from the side, his lips twitching, but he dared not laugh, so he advised:

"Comrade Sanqi, this place in front of us is called Bandir Lake, which is about 5,000 meters above sea level. Our main combat area, Kongka Mountain, is over 6,000 meters above sea level, and the oxygen is even thinner. So Comrade Sanqi, you should not go to the battlefield."

Because of lack of oxygen, Lin Sanqi sat down hard on a rock.

"Okay, okay, I know I can't get to Kongka Mountain, and the editor won't let me write about this war. If I do, I'll let you eat river crabs."

So, let's simulate the environment of Kongka Mountain and hold a military exercise on the shore of this lake (or something like that). By the way, this place looks a lot like the geography of Kongka Mountain, doesn't it?

Xu Tianxing looked around and nodded with a smile:

"It's very similar. Right now, on the battlefield between us and Baotou, there's a lake called Rutog Lake. It's a long and narrow lake, 150 kilometers long, but only 40 meters wide at its narrowest point."

We now control two-thirds of this lake, and one-third is controlled by Baotou State. Our goal is to take it all.

The area around Rutog Lake is also surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with bare rocks and no trees or flowers, making it very desolate.

From an economic perspective, there is no oil, no coal, and not even fishery resources there; it can be said that there is no economic value at all.

But our territory is our territory, and we will not give up even a centimeter or a millimeter of it.

Our current strategic objective is to drive the enemy out of the Kongka Mountain region, complete the strategic dive over the Baotou Plain, and ensure they never sleep soundly at night.

Lin Sanqi particularly liked this kind of hawkish military man; he would fight whether he could win or not.

He couldn't understand why there were doves and hawks in foreign armies; weren't the doves just surrenderists?

Is peace something that can be achieved through negotiation?

For example, the "Munich Plot" that sacrificed Czechoslovakia during World War II was an appeasement policy put forward by Britain, France and other countries, but it did not stop the fascist invasion in the end, and France still perished.

The doves are simply being wishful and delusional, only giving the enemy an opportunity to probe your strength and weaknesses, making them realize you're a paper tiger and thus more eager to destroy you.
The military should be dominated by hawks; protecting the country is a no-brainer.

If you put one foot into our territory, I'll cut off one foot; if you put both feet in, I'll cripple both legs. That's the meaning of an army.

Even if I can't beat you, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh. If we each take a bite, that'll be enough to kill you.

The country spends a large portion of its budget on the military, but is it just to shout slogans and constantly back down? If so, the country might as well maintain a city management brigade; they might be more effective.

Therefore, Lin Sanqi would give full support to soldiers like Xu Tianxing and Cao Zhiyang who were defending their country, even if it meant not making money, providing them with guns and food as needed.

After resting for a while, Lin Sanqi asked again, "So the military exercise three days from now will be held here?"

Xu Tianxing pointed to one side of the lake and said:
"Three days later, we will simulate the battlefield here. On one side are snow-capped mountains, and on the other side is a large lake. The battlefield is located in this area on the shore of the lake."

Comrade Sanqi, look, the narrow, flat terrain along the riverbank makes it difficult to conduct armored mechanized warfare. Tanks are ineffective in such areas, and if the enemy retreats to the mountains, it will be very difficult to surround and annihilate them.

Lin Sanqi nodded silently, thinking that in such a high-altitude area, a tank from the 1960s probably wouldn't even be able to start its engine.

Xu Tianxing continued to explain to Lin Sanqi:

"Our battle in the Kongka Mountains was similar to urban street fighting. Comrade Sanqi, look, there are protruding rocks everywhere here, which can be described as rugged. The colors are only the white of the snow-capped mountains and the gray of the rocks, which is very monotonous."

If we're in the snow, we can wear white cloaks for camouflage and lie flat on the ground, making us completely undetectable.

Similarly, if we change into gray military uniforms and hide among the rocks, the enemy will have difficulty detecting us.

Our current battles with Baotou are all small-scale.

However, the battlefield is vast, and any place can become a battleground, potentially at any time. Coupled with the harsh environment, the casualty rate is actually quite high.

Another problem is that sometimes we spot the enemy through binoculars, but we can't hit them at all. The range of our guns and cannons isn't enough, so we can only watch helplessly as the enemy escapes.

Lin Sanqi tried it out and found that by hiding in the pile of rocks and doing a good job of concealment, he was indeed difficult to be discovered.

Then a small squad quietly lay in ambush, waiting for the enemy to get close before firing, and they hit them every time.

It would be difficult for the enemy to escape, after all, it was a high-altitude environment with thin oxygen, and they would be out of breath and half dead after running just a few steps.

Similarly, the enemy can also use this tactic to attack us.

So don't underestimate small-scale conflicts; quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, and the cost can be enormous. Who knows how many enemies are lurking in a snow-capped mountain?

Xu Tianxing then continued:
"Comrade Sanqi, you may feel that high-altitude operations are equal for both sides, as everyone faces the same difficulties and the same environment. We cannot always emphasize the difficulties."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he did have such a thought: don't always say how difficult things are for us, Baotou is just as difficult.

After all, the people of Baotou are not Sherpas, who can jump around freely in the high-altitude snow-capped mountains and even smoke a few puffs of cigarettes while climbing mountains without showing any symptoms of oxygen deficiency.

Seeing Lin Sanqi's nonchalant expression, Xu Tianxing sighed and said:
"In fact, quite the opposite is true. If this war cannot be resolved as soon as possible, and if we cannot take over the entire territory of Kongkashan as soon as possible, then we will suffer a great loss."

Because the Ganges Plain lies to the south of the Kashgar region, the Baotou Kingdom found resupply very easy. Even their capital wasn't far from the Kashgar region.

(Lin Sanqi thought to himself, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Historically, if the fighting had continued, Baotou Kingdom would have almost turned into a battle to defend its capital.)
"Our supply problem is serious. The Kongka Mountain area is already the highest point in the Himalayas, but behind us is still the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, making resupply extremely difficult, so difficult that it could easily drag down the whole country."

Lin Sanqi understood. No wonder the weak and playful Baotou State had such ambitions and dared to come to our border to seek death.

It is precisely because they saw their own advantages and grasped our disadvantages that they wanted to take advantage of us.

In the end, just like on the Eastern Front where we ran out of ammunition and food, we had no choice but to retreat.

In the end, the other side ran into a brick wall and met our iron-willed army. In addition, there's Lin Sanqi, this transmigrator, cheating. We'll just have to strangle these monkeys with their heads covered.

"Don't worry, Lao Xu, with me here, logistics won't be a problem. Now we need to focus on giving the enemy a good beating, making them cry for their parents, and finally using the Ganges as the border, hmph."

Lin Sanqi looked down on the backward, barbaric, and uncivilized monkeys of Baotou from the bottom of his heart.

"Battalion Commander Xue, Little Xue, have all the men I asked for arrived?"

Schrödinger stood at attention and replied:

"Reporting to Lin Siling, we have transferred 1000 people here. Among these 1,000 people, 300 can operate drones, 300 can drive cars, and the remaining 400 are all sharpshooters and artillerymen."

These thousand men were handpicked by our Yunnan side to ensure they perfectly complete the mission assigned to us by Commander Lin Siling, showcasing to the entire army what a new era of warfare looks like.

Lin Sanqi was overjoyed to hear that the Yunnan soldiers he had requested had arrived.
"Alright, it seems Old Cao has sent all his best soldiers this time?" (End of Chapter)
