"Military Sub-Plane" author: I am Ivan the Great
According to Xinhua News Agency, on December 3, the burial ceremony of the ashes of martyr Wen Tao was held at the Martyrs' Cemetery in Taojiang County, Yiyang, Hunan Province. It is reported that the martyr Wen Tao was born in March 1987, joined the army in December 2007, and served in a certain army unit of the Western Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army before his death.
During his service in the army, martyr Wen Tao endured hardships and stood hard work, actively advanced, trained hard, honed his skills, participated in major training activities many times, and grew from an ordinary soldier to a backbone of the army, a fourth-class sergeant major, and was awarded the second class meritorious service once. On November 15, 2020, the martyr Wen Tao died honorably during the mission. In December of the same year, he was posthumously awarded the title of revolutionary martyr by his unit, and in December 2021, the ashes of the martyr Wen Tao returned to his hometown, and a large number of Taojiang citizens spontaneously came to send the martyrs on their last journey.
Various rumors circulating on the Internet
Although in the obituary of the martyr Wen Tao, it is only mentioned that he "died in the execution of the mission", there is no mention of the circumstances and tasks of the martyr Wen Tao. As a result, this has given many melon-eating masses the opportunity to "open their minds": the night before, Ivan the Great saw someone on Weibo declaring that the deeds of the martyr Wen Tao have now been "declassified": it is said that in November 2020, a special force of foreign troops entered the Border between China and India, and a special unit in the western theater where Wen Tao was located heard the news and went to intercept it, completely annihilating this enemy in the battle, and the martyr Wen Tao unfortunately died in the battle.
If this statement is to a certain extent, it is still a little credible, but then the rumors on the Internet will begin to develop in the direction of the Internet fantasy. At noon yesterday, Ivan the Great has seen that on a short video platform, someone has linked the martyr Wen Tao with the so-called "Indian army logistics warehouse was burned" in November 2020, and 200,000 pieces of wintering clothing were burned to the ground (in fact, this news Ivan did not find, the probability is also a fake news), pointing out that the sacrifice of the martyr Wen Tao is related to the "Black ops" of our army; the most outrageous thing is that today, the deeds of the martyr Wen Tao were circulated on the Internet for three days, and finally became "our army directly pounded the Indian army camp, Killing and wounding many senior generals of the Indian army" has also changed from "not too outrageous" to "outrageous".
Rumors are false
Speaking of which, many readers may feel dissatisfied again - Big Ivan, how do you know that the rumors on this network must be "unreliable"? Besides, even if it is "unreliable" and can make Indians suffer, we are happy to hear it, how many meanings do you have to come out and insert a bar? Let's start with the first question, in fact, there is no need for more analysis, nor do we need the so-called "internal information", just from the content of the three rumors above, we can know how much is false by military common sense alone:
Veterans of the "Sino-US Special Forces Burma Confrontation"
For example, as the first rumor said, the foreign special forces "entered", our army dispatched special forces to counteract, and the person who released this rumor is most likely a veteran military fan who is familiar with military novels and relished the rumors of the so-called Sino-US special forces "Myanmar confrontation" around 2003. After all, in various military and espionage novels, the other side sent special forces, and then our side "special to special", but also sent special forces to fight in the past, everyone is a master to see who is stronger, this rumor is more in line with the routine of martial arts novels. But it is a pity that in actual combat, this probability will not become a fact.

Quite simply, in actual combat, no one stipulates that special forces must rely on special forces to deal with, on the contrary, because special forces are often only light infantry units with strong individual combat skills and certain special skills (such as reconnaissance guidance). As a result, the opposing side often prefers to use conventional infantry units, plus heavy weapons or simply use mechanized infantry to pursue special forces.
For example, during the Vietnam War, as long as the US military found that there was a trace of Vietnamese special agents in a certain jungle, as long as conditions permitted, it would often use aviation bombs and incendiary bombs to blow up and burn the entire jungle, and would not send the army's "green berets" to engage in "special to special";
In June 2005, the U.S. military's "Red Wing Operation", against the U.S. Navy SEAL force, only dispatched a small number of conventional troops (the U.S. military after the fact, the Taliban believed that the Taliban had only a maximum of more than twenty people). Only this small number of unusually poorly equipped Taliban light infantry, which only had a certain superiority in manpower, killed three US special forces soldiers in a very short period of time, and also destroyed a "Chinookan" transport helicopter that the US military came to support, resulting in the direct annihilation of a us special forces unit.
The above examples fully show that most of the time, the special forces are not actually three-headed and six-armed supermen, but light infantry with higher combat skills. The advantage of special forces is not in the ground combat, but the need for it to break behind enemy lines, guide attacks, and so on. Relying on special forces to "special anti-special forces", unless both sides use special forces at the same time, the result of encounters, otherwise in most cases, relying on special forces to oppose special forces belongs to the "high-skill point" elite troops to carry out tasks that ordinary infantry can do, and the danger is not low, and the operational cost performance is too low.
For example, as the second rumor said, our army used special forces in November last year to carry out a sabotage attack on the Indian army behind enemy lines and burn the Indian army's "200,000 pieces of cold clothing"? Some short video authors have far-fetched this matter with the martyr Wen Tao, but this rumor we can only say, "the fake is more powerful":
First, the so-called "200,000 pieces of cold suit burned in India" news is a complete Fake News. The news itself is made up by some irresponsible people sitting at home, the pictures are downloaded from the Internet casually, and even the location of the incident has been transmitted, and there are several theories. One moment saying it was in Leh, the next it was in Srinagar, the next it was even the Punjab region of western India, and the rumors reached this point that the news could have been false.

Second, the people who released this rumor are afraid that they have no understanding of the concept of the "combat radius" of special forces, nor do they have any understanding of the support conditions required for special forces to carry out a long-range special operation. Special forces can not be used indefinitely like Goldfinger, it is like any kind of combat weapon, it has strict conditions: after all, when the special forces are out, due to "no rear combat", all the equipment must be carried by themselves, and the weight will be very large. And many supplies such as ammunition, food, drinking water, etc. can not bring too much, these factors are limiting the radius of special forces, such as the Vietnamese army's special forces, in actual combat, often only a dozen kilometers to tens of kilometers away;

At the same time, when the special forces are dispatched, they also need the cooperation of a large number of conventional troops and even the units of other branches of the armed forces, such as the need to coordinate the use of helicopters by the army aviation units to send special forces to the enemy's defense line, the coordination of the air force aviation to implement fire support, the coordination of the artillery units to carry out fire preparation and firepower to cover the infiltration of special forces.
Therefore, in the final analysis, under the conditions of the western border area, of course, it is not impossible to engage in Black ops, but once such a "black operation" is carried out, it cannot be a matter of a special forces, but it will involve the whole body, and it will inevitably be accompanied by the changes of other conventional forces. The greater the depth of the operation, the greater the target of the operation, the greater the coordination action of conventional troops, and the greater the reaction of the opponent accordingly, from here we can push back, the so-called Chinese special forces at the end of last year, in the western border area to engage in "Black ops", this probability is not a fact, but some people's brain supplement.
As for saying that our army's special forces "raided the camps of foreign troops and killed three generals," this is even more nonsensical; there are so many heads and brains in the Northern Command of the Indian Army; if one had died, the foreign media would have turned the sky upside down long ago. If three of them died, with the urine of the Indian army, they would have to get the field back no matter what. Not to mention, our talks with the Indian army's military commander-level talks are with the indian army's generals, you have eliminated all the generals of the people, who will we talk to in our talks? With the two sides largely silent in November, we have no motive, nor any need, to "behead" the chief of the family and take responsibility for the expansion of the conflict on our side. This rumor is too outrageous to be refuted.

Having said all this, some readers are afraid that they will be emotional again: what is wrong with the rumors, we love to listen, we love to listen to the stories of the enemy eating up. Ivan the Great had three thoughts about this:
First, if some of our military fans have to rely on not knowing the so-called rumors, or even obvious rumors, to "get excited", then it can only mean that the threshold of these military fans is too low, they are completely immature in the field of international relations, and they may be shot by unknown forces at any time;
Second, if our victory depends on rumors or even rumors to whitewash, everything that we do not like to hear and everyone does not want to hear, then sooner or later we will be surrounded by all kinds of low-level "victories", and when the real situation appears, everything will be too late;
Third, the sacrifice of the martyr Wen Tao has been very heroic and very glorious, after all, the soldiers fighting in "New Zealand", each of them is a hero of the country, their feats do not need to rely on rumors to whitewash, this kind of rumor for them, but cover up their real combat experience, for the hero group, this kind of low-level rumors, is the greatest disrespect.
Finally, let us once again express our reverence and remembrance to martyr Wen Tao.
