Section 476 Airborne Division
After meeting most of the officers present, Mao Yuanshan did not make much speeches, but encouraged them to continue serving the country. Then Mao Yuanshan asked them to return to his troops. There was no need to mobilize the troops like this. The General Staff Headquarters would not have arranged such a meeting, but Hu Zongnan also made such a request. They believed that the commander-in-chief had arrived in Europe. If the brothers below were not allowed to meet, it would be really uninspiring. The brothers had been away from their hometown for more than a year, and it seemed that they had seen their relatives when they met the commander-in-chief. Their efforts in Europe also wanted the commander-in-chief to admit that this was more useful than the encouragement words said by the commander-in-chief.
Mao Yuanshan hates these etiquettes the most, but after seeing Hu Zongnan's telegram on the plane, Mao Yuanshan made an exception to approve such things. It turned out that Mao Yuanshan did whatever the leaders of various departments should do when checking other war zones, and did not directly ask them to report here. However, the European Front Army is still different from other regions. Although this region is the strongest Front Army in China, it has been blocked most of the time. They have no way to contact other regions, so they are still homesick.
Seeing these people walking out of the conference room happily, Mao Yuanshan knew Hu Zongnan’s idea. Nowadays, these people do not want to see Mao Yuanshan. The most important thing is to let the commander-in-chief meet them and see them working for the country in a foreign country. This is also the main idea of many people. After returning, they can also have a capital to brag about.
When the officers gathered in the conference room, Mao Yuanshan also awarded several major institutions, such as the armored division that seized the position of the Sixth Army. The entire division won the second-class merit, and the entire armored division suffered a loss of more than 35%, which is already the strongest loss. From the establishment of the armored troops in China to the present, all losses have not exceeded 30%. It does not mean that the brothers do not work hard. The pressure on the battlefield is too great. Faced with such strong pressure, people from all over the country can still win and occupy the position according to the original plan. This is already a very good battle, so Mao Yuanshan awarded medals to all over the country.
In addition, the airborne troops who arrived at the Sixth Army's position were airborne. The entire airborne division dispatched about 8,000 people. Now there are only more than 4,000 people standing on the ground, and all the remaining people have been lost. The airborne troops have always been the most severe army. When they jumped out of the plane, their entire lives were handed over to God. If they are lucky, they can still find their own organization, and the chances of survival will be greater. If they are not lucky enough, they may be airborne into the enemy's nest, and they will not be able to survive no matter how capable they are.
The treatment of airborne troops has always been very high. It is precisely because of the high death rate of airborne troops that in the domestic training ground, no matter how important other troops are, as long as the airborne troops are to use the training ground, other troops will quickly withdraw. The first thing to guarantee is these airborne troops.
There are only three airborne divisions in the European Front, and one of them has been crippled. In the telegram to the country, they hope that the country can provide quick support. No one knows when the next war will break out. The role of the airborne troops cannot be replaced. Although building a simple airport can carry out aircraft landing, and the speed of airship transportation in China can still be guaranteed, if it comes to suddenness, their troops cannot be compared with the airborne troops. When the sky is full of flowers, the enemy will know that their land cannot be saved, and the impact on the enemy's confidence is also very important.
The domestic side really cannot overcome this requirement put forward by the European Front. Mao Yuanshan also explained to them about this problem. The training of airborne soldiers is the same as that of tank soldiers. They both need to go through a rigorous process. It does not mean that you can do whatever you want. We also have no way to speed up. Many trainings must be completed in the sky. If you dare to speed up, there will definitely be various mistakes in the middle. The price you pay will be serious. For example, some paratroopers have not mastered the skills. If you let them jump out of the sky, it will not be parachuting training, and it is very likely to turn into suicide training.
After hearing Mao Yuanshan's reply, the European Front did feel a little helpless. They had long known the power of the airborne troops, and now they could not replenish them. They might not dare to use it in the next battle, after all, there were only two airborne divisions left.
However, they also expressed their full understanding that the training ability in the domestic field is indeed very limited. If several new military academies can be opened in China, the speed can still be improved. But the problem is that it is easy to establish military academies, and instructors will not be so easy to get it out. Instructors are different from ordinary soldiers. In addition to your own good skills, you also have to be able to train good soldiers. Many soldiers have very good combat skills and have even reached excellent levels. However, they do not know how to teach apprentices, so they cannot become instructors.
This is some misunderstanding between the front line and the rear. Many soldiers were injured on the front line. They all hoped to have a job after returning. Although the government would give them some money, the money would be spent sooner or later. They could find a position in the government, which is much better than anything they did. So they all fell in love with instructors in the army. After entering the military school, not only did they not have to retire, but their own treatment could be increased a little. Even disabled people are OK. However, the military school does not open the door for them, and they also have to take exams. The first item is your military skills, and the second item is your ability to teach students.
The last time the European Front sent back 4,000 wounded and sick people. More than a thousand of these people could not return to the battlefield, so they all hoped that they could enter the military academy and become instructors. At that time, Hu Zongnan even greeted the military academy specifically, but the military academy almost turned a blind eye. This opening could not be opened. If this opening was really opened, he would know how many people would enter the military academy in the future. Perhaps there would be more instructors than students.
