Chapter 897: Donkey

On the battlefield, soldiers are always angry that they have too little ammunition to carry, and it is not uncommon for them to ask the quartermaster for ammunition with foul language.

A rifle is four kilograms, a 7.62x54R bullet is 22 grams, the total weight of the three bases is four kilograms, and a Mosin Nagant is in demand, and the basic weapon has to carry eight kilograms!

In this way, the officers and men of the paratroopers will have to carry a weight of almost eleven kilograms here alone.

Nine kilograms of military rations, almost a kilogram of grenades, a liter of water bottles, and three kilograms of two blankets......

In total, a paratrooper infantryman can carry a total load of thirty kilograms!

This is just the average infantry, and the situation is even worse for the technical arms! The load of the machine gunner was high in any unit, especially the group armed with the Deg Galev machine gun. In this way, the weight of the soldier who will carry the rocket artillery shell is even worse of the worst!

The heavier their backs are, the more food they need!

High-intensity and high-intensity battles mean crazy consumption of ammunition and crazy destruction of logistics!

Several warehouses in the arsenal are full of ammunition, and the arsenal is desperately producing in the days after the battle, coupled with the airdrops from the superiors, I am afraid that no one thinks that it is difficult for the troops to cope with any campaign-level operations now!

Ammunition is a guarantee of victory, and the health of the personnel is as good as the fighting spirit.

In future wars, logistical pressures are largely replaced by vehicles. Including heavy tanks, they were pulled by trucks to avoid wear and tear on the tracks on long marches. In the future, military jeeps have almost become the "mules" of the infantry, so why not use real mules to carry loads?

The arsenal and canteen resolutely observed the implementation of the orders of the command. As night fell, the workers of the arsenal were always busy, lighting bonfires for lighting, and large numbers of ammunition boxes were removed from the warehouses and stacked like walls.

The back kitchens of the canteens were also very lively, and the soldiers' dinners were not affected, and everyone had to be suspicious when they hurried to eat. The kitchen, which used to be quiet after dinner, is still noisy, and the air is filled with a mysterious smell that makes people drool.

Coupled with the actions of today's military commander that many people have witnessed, and the military operations that will begin the day after tomorrow, it is difficult for people not to talk about it, and they have more expectations for tomorrow.

Back in the office, facing the questioning of Yevlov and Fuming, Yang Mingzhi had to tell the whole story of today.

"Let soldiers fight with a load of almost thirty kilograms on their backs? It's incredible! "It's hard not to be suspicious, after all, it's not in harmony with the regulations.

Yang Mingzhi was not angry, after all, he was the commander of the army and the military director, and he had more than enough reasons to explain the high burden of the army.

Coincidentally, the two girls came to the military headquarters a little presumptuously. Of course, this time he naturally had Yang Mingzhi's permission, that is, to report to the headquarters after eating.

For Yang Mingzhi, he was very happy to see his wife and Natasha become well-dressed female soldiers. They received weapons and carried them on their shoulders, boat-shaped hats made of tweed fabric were neatly worn, and the two of them wore the summer uniforms of the female soldiers of the Soviet Army, and the skirts that covered the knees were very beautiful. Because of the needs of forest warfare, they naturally wore pants and leggings on their calves. The girls are all beauty-loving, so they tried their best to show off in front of Yang Mingzhi.

My Fair Lady Sai Tianxian does not like red clothes and loves arms. The wife is a small and delicate girl, and Natasha is a sexy Lolita who is convex and backward. Huan Fei Yan is thin, they are all beautiful, and they are even heroic.

Yevlov was trying to question a bunch of questions about the burden on the army, and now the opportunity came.

His eyes glanced at the star fruit and asked, "My comrade commander!" Besica is also a soldier in this operation, and thirty kilograms of equipment must also be imposed on her! Look at her little lamb-like body, she weighs less than fifty kilograms! I'm afraid that your machine gunner can reach this level of weight! ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't expect him to say this, sorted out his thoughts, and teased: "Yes, some of our soldiers are at the level of wrestlers, and fifty-kilogram mortars can carry them wildly. I'm not a wrestler, but I carry a lot of weight. Besides, how could I make my woman carry so many things? At that time, I will fight with my wife on my back! ”

"Huh? Fighting behind his wife's back, is this statement really novel? Yevlov burst into laughter, and the command was filled with laughter.

He had laughed enough, and the conversation turned back. Yevlov said very seriously: "Seriously! It's not a good thing for a soldier to carry too much weight! After all, we are on two legs, and a lot of the time we are walking through the woods! High loads can easily lead to soldiers' broken feet, and if this happens, it will be necessary to reduce the number of troops in combat! ”

Yang Mingzhi spread his hands and looked helpless: "What good can I do?" The only way is to let the soldiers lead the war horses and let the war horses carry the weight! However, Salinchkin and Womansky, these two guys are horse idiots! Especially the guy Salinchkin, he is determined to support the Black Earth Village to create a cavalry unit! ”

"Isn't there no donkey without a horse?" Yevlov knocked on the table and asked.

Yang Mingzhi stopped from saying this, and he was about to ask, but Fuming finally spoke: "Now it's my turn to speak!" Donkeys already have, even more than a few months ago! ”

Fomin's explanation is interesting because some refugees cannot flee empty-handed. The Germans looted everywhere in Belarus, a large number of domestic animals were taken away, and some of them were still not plundered from the villagers for the sake of regional stability.

As the German atrocities became more visible, villagers in remote areas increasingly managed to flee into the forest, taking with them their donkeys, their cattle.

Those who fled into Novgomel with their livestock were all assigned to the village of Black Earth. The collectivism that has always been practiced in the Soviet Union, the donkeys carried by the villagers actually belonged to their original collective farms, which were collectively owned.

"So, these donkeys were decisively requisitioned by us, and they were actively used for production, such as farming," Fuming explained. Don't underestimate these dwarf animals, their load-carrying capacity is amazing. ”

His explanation Yang Mingzhi fully believes that after all, he knows about the Afghan war in that time and space, and the US military widely used donkey carrying equipment in mountainous areas, so much so that the US military even came up with a "mechanical donkey" This kind of carrying robot.

Fu Ming's series of explanations are exciting, even if there are not many donkeys, it is perfectly fine to get fifty heads from Heitu Village. "In fact, there are a lot of donkeys used in the blacksmith village for production, and they are mostly used to push the mill to grind flour. If necessary, we will immediately let them carry ammunition. You have the power to give orders! ”

"It's necessary!" Yang Mingzhi stood up excitedly, "I'll give an order to Womansky, fifty donkeys, send them to me tomorrow morning, and there will be people who can train donkeys!" Whether he agrees or not, such an order must be carried out! ”
