When the bell rang, Li Dongshi turned over and jumped up, kicking his feet that were lying on the ground. 【】

"What for...... Urgent...... Urgent gathering! ”

"Get up for me, and gather outside in two minutes." Li Dongshi shouted and said to Zhang Zhi, "Let the platoon commanders come over, I will go to the battalion headquarters to take a look at the situation and come back immediately." ”

Zhang Zhi nodded, and his movements were much sharper.

After the end of the Korean War, Li Dongshi was promoted to the acting company commander of the 3rd Company of the 1533rd Battalion, and then went to the National Defense University for two years of training before officially becoming the company commander. The five elders fought very fiercely, and only the commander of the 1st company and 3 platoon commanders of Li Dongshi's battalion survived to the end of the victory, and dozens of officers, including the battalion chief of staff, were killed and martyred. After Li Dongshi was promoted to company commander, Zhang Zhi was also promoted from non-commissioned officer to officer and became an instructor of the 3rd Company. Other veterans who came down from the battlefield alive either became junior officers or non-commissioned officers.

At that time, the 153 Airborne Brigade gave an exceptional promotion to 100 soldiers, which also attracted a lot of criticism.

According to the Republic's system, it is difficult for a soldier like Zhang Zhi to become an officer unless he is given the opportunity to study at a military academy during his service. Under normal circumstances, officers are trained by major colleges and universities, and the military is only responsible for training non-commissioned officers. The promotion of hundreds of soldiers to officers is indeed unprecedented.

In order to preserve the strength of the bones, the veterans must be left behind.

The 153 Airborne Brigade dared to be the first to eat crabs, and the General Staff Department could only turn a blind eye. Subsequently, several other units with relatively large casualties, such as the 163rd Airborne Brigade that participated in the Qinghe Blockade Battle, did not have such good luck. After the second round of military reform began, the Ministry of National Defense first adjusted the non-commissioned officer system, strengthened the status and role of non-commissioned officers in grass-roots units, and made non-commissioned officers the main combat force of grass-roots units. As a result, the vast majority of veterans have lost the opportunity to be promoted to officers and can only strive for senior non-commissioned officers.

Lee Dong-seok is lucky and lucky.

Not much. Several company commanders came to the battalion headquarters.

Unlike the troops in general. The Airborne Forces do not have a logistics support unit. There are much more combat companies. Take, for example, the 1533rd battalion. There are 6 combat companies. It's just that the company is much smaller than an ordinary infantry company. There were only 96 members of 9 combat squads, 1 reconnaissance squad and 1 company guard squad.

"Just received an order for operation. We boarded the plane and departed an hour later. "Lieutenant Colonel Dou Weixin, the battalion commander, began to introduce the situation." Each company must be ready for battle within 15 minutes and go to the logistics department to collect it. Act according to a predetermined plan. 3 companies took the lead, and 1 company followed. The battalion headquarters followed the 2 airborne and his 3 companies set off on the second batch of transport planes. ”

Dou Weixin introduced the situation. Tu Wenlong, chief of staff of the battalion, sent the combat orders to the company commanders.

"Any questions?"

"Where is the destination?" Li Dongshi immediately asked. As a leading force. He had to figure out the purpose of the operation.

"It's not clear." Dou Weixin glanced at Li Dongshi and said, "After the troops set off, the brigade headquarters will issue relevant combat orders." Still have questions? ”

No one asked questions, because with the exception of the unclear place of the airborne, everything else was detailed in the combat order.

"Let's get ready."

As soon as Li Dongshi was about to leave, Tu Wenlong pulled him and let him stay.

"Things have changed." After the other company commanders left, Dou Weixin took out a cigarette and lit one for Li Dongshi first. Because Dou Weixin was transferred from other battalions to the 1533 battalion, he had great respect for an old-qualified grassroots officer like Li Dongshi. "I just went to the airport to see that the transfer plane was replaced by a Y115B, and the combat destination must have changed. The brigade commander called me that the first units to be airborne were going to join up with the special forces and obey the command of the special forces, you have to pay attention. ”

"Special forces?" Li Dongshi immediately frowned.

Since the General Staff established a special forces command directly under it, assumed command of the special forces, and downgraded the special forces originally subordinate to various military regions and units to reconnaissance units, the "special forces" have become synonymous with "mysterious forces." It is undeniable that the combat capabilities of the special forces directly under the General Staff are very strong.

In general, special forces are loners and rarely cooperate with other combat units.

"The situation is a bit tricky, you just do what you are told, don't think about anything else."

"Understood, to the front line, obey the command of the special forces."

Dou Weixin nodded and asked Li Dongshi to go back and organize the troops.

If it is only to deal with Ah San, there is no need to dispatch special forces at all, and the airborne troops have enough ability to seize front-line airfields and complete combat missions.

After 15 minutes, more than 90 officers and men of the 3rd Company successively boarded one Y15B transport plane.

Unlike in the past, the Airborne Forces set off on foot, and the transport planes were not loaded with airborne combat vehicles. That is, Li Dongshi they must play the role of "infantry".

This adjustment made many airborne troops feel uncomfortable.

If in the past, whether there were airborne combat vehicles or not, it did not have much impact on the combat operations of the airborne troops, after all, it was difficult for the "thin-skinned" combat vehicles to compete with the enemy's armored forces on the battlefield, and most of the time they were used by the airborne troops as "battlefield taxis". Now it is different, the country has spent a lot of effort to come up with a new type of airborne combat vehicle, but it is closed

Waiting to stay in the rear, it didn't come in handy, and it somewhat made the airborne troops have it

Restlessness is restlessness, and soldiers still have to carry out combat orders.

Three Y115Bs took off one after another, and Li Dongshi's mood gradually relaxed.

One way or another, the duty of a soldier is to defend the country on the battlefield and fight for the Motherland. After waiting for more than a month, it was finally time for the troops to set off.

After the tense situation in South Asia, the 153 Airborne Brigade took the lead in entering combat readiness.

After becoming famous in the Black Blocking Battle of the Laos War, the 153 Airborne Brigade became almost synonymous with the Airborne Forces of the Republic. After the Peninsula War, the second military reform began, and the 153 Airborne Brigade surpassed the other two airborne brigades with its strong combat capability, becoming the first "strategic force" of the Republic Army.

The so-called "strategic forces" refer to units that can immediately set out to carry out combat missions after receiving orders.

In the words of Fang Xinzhongzhun, the 153 Airborne Brigade is the sharpest and sharpest tip of the "sharp knife" of the Republic Army, and it is the combat unit that can deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Whether anyone admits it or not, the 153 Brigade is an out-and-out trump card unit.

For more than a month, Airborne 153 has been waiting for combat orders. At the end of September, Fang Xinzhong adjusted the training and attendance arrangements of the whole brigade, urging all units to be ready to carry out combat missions at any time while maintaining high-intensity training. For this reason, Li Dongshi, a grassroots fighter, not only slept in his clothes for dozens of days in a row, but even had to open one eye to sleep. Some veterans also wrote suicide notes in advance and were mentally prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country.

The vibration of the aircraft has weakened considerably, indicating that the transport has reached the cruising flight altitude.

"Brother Li......"

Li Dongshi glanced at Zhang Zhi, who was sitting next to him.

"Doesn't seem quite right." Zhang Zhi stretched out his left hand and pointed the screen of the individual soldier computer at Li Dongshi, "You see, the satellite navigation system shows that we are flying to the east and west. ”

"To the east?" Li Dongshi frowned.

"Company commander, we're indeed flying east." Sergeant Quan Jiqiang, the guard squad leader sitting on Li Dongshi's right hand, muttered.

"We're not going to Taiwan, are we?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"How do I know?" Li Dongshi smiled bitterly.

There is no need to guess, Li Dongshi knows that the group is flying towards Taiwan. It has long been believed that the Republic will use troops in South Asia to regain southern Tibet, which has been occupied by India for decades. Lee Dong-seok is not a politician, so he does not know exactly where the republic will use force. It's just that the Y4C was replaced with the Y15B with a longer range above, which is enough to prove that the troops are not going to South Asia but flying farther.

"Brother Li......"

"Company Commander ......"

"Everyone is at ease, no matter where we go, we have to fight the enemy." Li Dongshi didn't want to be verbose with his subordinates, and he didn't like chaotic speculation, "Hurry up and recuperate, if you are really bored, you can check the weapons and equipment." Don't ask me, I don't know where I'm going. ”

Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly, and Ji Qiang didn't ask any more.

After a short time, the cockpit door leading to the cockpit opened, and more than 90 airborne troops in the cabin all looked at the officer wearing the Air Force flight suit.

"Captain Lee Dong-seok......"

"In!" Li Dongshi unbuckled his safety belt and stood up.

"Orders for you."

Li Dongshi nodded and went to the cockpit through the narrow aisle.

"The order I just received." Li Dongshi was the navigator on the transport plane, and "in an hour and a half, we will be in the sky over Taipei." ”

Li Dongshi glanced at the screen in front of the navigator and remembered several main pieces of information.

"The special forces have taken control of the airport, and your task is to assist the special forces in taking control of the airport." The navigator tapped on the screen and said, "The front-line commander is Major Min Ruilin, who has full command of combat operations. ”

Li Dongshi nodded and handed the data cable of the individual soldier computer to the navigator.

After inputting the battle orders into Li Dongshi's individual computer, the navigator asked, "Is there any more problem?" ”

"No, try to be as accurate as possible, I don't want to run dozens of miles after landing."

"Don't worry, land directly at the airport."

Li Dongshi smiled and didn't ramble again.

Judging by the operational orders received, the special forces not only took control of the airfield, but also annihilated the airfield defenders, otherwise it would not have been possible for the transport plane to land directly at the airfield.

The special forces have already occupied the airfield, what are the airborne troops sent over for?

Although he was a little puzzled, Li Dongshi didn't think much about it. After all, special forces have limited strength and cannot act like regular combat forces, and if necessary, they need the support of airborne troops.

After returning to the cabin, Li Dongshi briefed several platoon commanders on the situation.

Hearing that the troops were about to arrive in Taipei, the officers and men immediately became excited. In the eyes of all officers and men, the recovery of Taiwan is 10,000 times more important than the recovery of southern Tibet. If the Airborne 153 Brigade can be the first unit to participate in the "liberation of Taiwan", then the Airborne 153 Brigade will become a veritable trump card unit!

Li Dong-seok is still calm, because he knows that things are not so simple!
