Chapter 884 Three Requests
As soon as they left Gao Zhendong's office, the technicians from the Third Factory went straight to the Internal Security Department of the Third Factory. Although it was called the Internal Security Department of the Third Factory, the comrades inside actually came from many different units and it was very diverse and lively.
"Comrade, we just went to Chief Engineer Gao to discuss work, and Chief Engineer Gao gave us some information."
In fact, everyone knows that Gao Zhendong would not give things away casually to his superiors. In his opinion, something that he could give to his comrades so casually must not be something that needs to be kept strictly confidential.
However, there is always a but. Everyone knows that Chief Engineer Gao has a very positive outlook and a very good appearance, but his understanding of some common sense things is very different from that of ordinary people. For example, something that he thinks is not a big deal may become something special when he takes it out.
Therefore, the factory has a regulation that all comrades who discuss work with Chief Engineer Gao and receive a set of information from him must hand it over first after leaving Gao's office. They will only be returned after necessary identification and processing.
There is no way. The entire appraisal committee cannot follow behind Mr. Gao, right? Then he will not be able to work.
"Wow, it's so thick? You're really lucky this time." The comrades from the internal security department also joked with the technicians from the third factory, but it was not entirely a joke. The thicker the information, the more knowledge one has.
"Well, we have indeed gained a lot this time. Then please do it as soon as possible, we are still waiting to get this set of information to start our work." The technician of the third factory said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it must be the fastest speed."

The Americans and the Russians are still fighting at sea, and Zang San and I are also making intensive preparations.
It can be said that almost the four largest countries in the world are on the brink of war, and two of them have already fought a war.
That's not quite right. It should be said that it was a one-sided beating.
What? Canada is also big? But forget it. In the long run, Canada is nothing. It can hardly be considered a normal independent country.
After much difficulty, the first batch of supplies from the Americans was delivered to Zang San's port, along with F-86 Sabres that the Americans had transferred from other bases. Zang San had a few of these things and was able to get started quickly.
The enemy was transferring these planes to airports in the northeast and northwest, intending to gather more planes in that direction.
We are just strengthening our defenses on the western front. In this direction, the three armies are also being restrained by other countries, and it is closer to their New Delhi. They dare not make too many or too big moves for fear of provoking all parties, which would be very troublesome.
Asan is just stupid, but not foolish.
What bothered them most was that his capital was not too far from his two main imaginary enemies, to the north and to the west.
It would be interesting if he made too big a move in this direction, not only angering the one in the north, but also the one in the west. Normally, he might not take the one in the west seriously, but he had to be on guard at this time. After all, the one in the north might not really want his life, but the one in the west definitely did.
Moreover, our neighbors to the north have better traffic conditions and are more fully prepared in this direction, so they dare not make any big moves.
The planes stationed at the northwestern airports are mainly to protect the capital. It is not certain that they have much desire to attack. They still want to take advantage of the weak and gain more advantages in Shannan. After all, they have a huge supply advantage in that direction.
Coincidentally, we thought so too. Our situation on the western front is better, and there is no need to make big moves here. We still want to give Zang San a good beating in Shannan.
At this time, an interesting tacit understanding was formed between the two sides, and both sides focused their efforts on Shannan.
In the capital, leaders are looking at the latest situation between the enemy and us and discussing countermeasures.
"The enemy has about 8000 troops, about three brigades, and is gathering and deploying troops in this place. They should be planning to attack us."
The comrade who was reporting pointed to the area south of the river that we occupied and reported the enemy's deployment and direction one by one.
There seem to be a lot of enemies here. Almost all of the mountainous area of more than 100 square kilometers has been tightly defended. It seems that they are supporting each other and are as strong as a rock.
Looking at the enemy's posture, someone laughed: "Their formation looks like they are coordinated and take care of each other, but in fact, they are hard at the head and soft at the tail, with an iron back and an earth belly. Their weakness is in their belly."
The Sindhu formation looked a bit like a cat facing west and back east, with its head in the northwest and its tail in the southeast. Our leading comrades were experienced in many battles and could see their weaknesses at a glance.
"As long as we attack from the stomach, they won't be able to jump."
"But leader, if we get here, the detour will be very long."
This meant that after we quietly crossed the river, we had to travel 20 kilometers through the mountains and valleys under the enemy's nose to achieve our goal.
"So you have to pay attention to a few issues. First, there are cliffs and mountains here. The troops moving in must be familiar with the terrain and know the way. Don't go the wrong way and lose the opportunity to fight."
"Well, we are still confident in this and should be able to do it." Judging from the first phase, the rough topographic maps that have been obtained, combined with the positioning system and altitude data, can enable the troops to better grasp the terrain, direction, and route of advance, which is much better than expected.
"Well, it's good that you have confidence. Judging from the situation in the first phase, it is indeed good. Secondly, in addition to the infiltration of troops, we must also launch attacks in other directions at the same time. The coordination between the various units must be done well, and the action plans and time of each unit must be unified. The strikes must be consistent, and the encirclement must be consistent in terms of region and time."
Speaking of this, the comrades at the front line are even less sleepy.
"Well, there is no problem in this regard. With the complete set of maps and positioning systems mentioned above, we can already do a good job in regional coordination. Coordinated action at a certain time is even less of a problem. With the support of new equipment, we can now even achieve the exact time for each unit to launch an attack."
This has been verified in the first phase. Multiple artillery positions separated from each other can even make shells fall on the enemy at the same time, and the shooting time of multiple troops can be accurate to the second.
"Well, good, good. With the new equipment, you fight better." On the original timeline, due to the limitations of objective conditions, there was actually a situation where the enemy was surrounded here and not there. Of the 8000 enemies, almost 3000 escaped.
It was a big victory, but not thorough enough, which is a bit regrettable.
There is no way. The terrain is too difficult and the technical conditions are limited, so it is difficult to coordinate and unify all these.
Now, the situation has changed a lot. To some extent, it is even more important than the new weapons in hand.
"Third, each unit must have the ability to fight independently. To put it more clearly, it must have the ability to independently overcome difficulties."
Since most of the troops are carrying out interspersed operations, long-range artillery support may not be very good. At this time, independent combat capability is very important and they must be able to solve problems on their own.
"Well, we have also considered this. According to the results of the recent summary meeting, we have strengthened the battalion-level forces and equipped them with more complete equipment and weapons. Not only do the squads and platoons have certain offensive capabilities, but from the battalion level, they can also pose a certain threat to the enemy's air and armored forces."
That meeting was held on time. Isn't that in line with the leadership's requirements?
"Well, very good. I have watched your combat process. Your firepower and combat capabilities are much stronger than before. You must maintain this."
The comrade from the front added: "In addition, at that meeting, we had more exchanges and communication with the comrades in the Air Force, and we had more means to attack the enemy's strong nodes with lightly armed troops."
"That's good. We must defeat the enemies in this area. Keep up the reconnaissance and surveillance and prepare as soon as possible. The army has a good comrade who has prepared a lot of good things for you."
"Good leader. From intelligence and reconnaissance, the enemy has been sending reinforcements to the SND sector."
"Well, this matter needs to be dealt with, and you just need to focus on fighting your own battle." The leader smiled.

In the important town on the north bank of the river that we recaptured, there was only one battalion of prisoners of war left. The others were transferred to the rear in batches. There was no other way. These people were too big eaters. They ate as if they had never been full, and we couldn't afford the supply here.
The remaining battalion is the selected ones, mainly people from the northeastern and northwestern states.
They were gathered together at this time, a group of people were in a very uneasy mood. Everyone else had been transferred away, and only they were left behind. Were they going to be disposed of?
They knew that the Master of the East treated the prisoners well, and during the time they were captured, the Master of the East indeed treated the prisoners very well, feeding them well and keeping them warm, and not mistreating them at all.
But in their minds, prisoners must first be considered "human beings", and most of them are not even considered "human beings" in their own country.
Is it the same for the University of Tokyo? Was it to transfer everyone else away just to create conditions that no one would know about, so that they could deal with their own prisoners?
However, the development of the situation was beyond their expectations.
The translator, who was already very familiar with them and had always been very kind, came in with another Dongda student.
"Hello everyone, from today on, your translator will be this comrade, and they will also be your instructor."
Teachers? Did the University of Tokyo teach prisoners? They actually gave them the opportunity to educate them. They really treated the prisoners well.
The new translator was followed by several people holding a pile of books. From the covers, one could tell they were Chinese-English translations.
The prisoners were even more moved by the fact that there were even teaching materials.
Although I don’t necessarily like studying, but at least I can see that they really don’t want to live their lives.
