World Wide Web on January 29, according to Taiwan,” Central News Agency, “28 reported that Hong Kong’s latest issue of “Mirror” magazine published an article that Chinese iron in addition to economic benefits, there are also military strategic significance.

“Mirror” in the article said that China’s East and West in one direction to another, regardless of the direction of troop movements are faced with the problem of the distance, only affects the “concentration of superior forces annihilated”, but also difficult to the “precious in war.” The high-speed rail built, greatly facilitate the mobilization of China’s military, China’s military strategy and tactics of the layout and will have beneficial and far-reaching impact.

report pointed out that China’s seven military regions, five of which borders with neighboring countries, the military Shoubian retaining a major role, can be used for strategic mobility of troops is not much. But China still has three overall strategic reserve, but also a rapid reaction force, they are in the middle of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail, respectively, for 38 Army stationed in Baoding, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Xinxiang City, stationed at 54 Army and stationed in Xiaogan City 15 Airborne Corps.
