Chapter 115 Establishing a Logistics Support System (15)

As the head of the General Logistics Department said, Bai Yi was indeed a little busy during this time, not to mention the production of Type 50 automatic rifles, which required him to be technically hands-on in order to be able to produce qualified firearms; The "building block" machine also needs to be looked at once in a while to avoid any mistakes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If there is enough time, it is necessary to gather the members of the fully automatic firearms team and train them in equipment knowledge, so to speak, with the outbreak of the Korean war, Bai Yi also ran at high speed like a spinning top, but just when he began to brew a new research and development plan, an order from the head of the General Logistics Department pulled him back to the clean desk from the roaring busyness of the workshop.

"Draw up a report on your views and summaries of Soviet logistics as soon as possible and submit it to the Northeast Bureau!"

The full text of the telegram is like this, concise with eagerness and waiting, Bai Yi knows that his "small talk" with Qin Dongmin has finally worked, and his heart can be a little more settled, after all, no matter how effective his methods can be, at least he can make his superiors pay attention to logistics issues, even if it is a great success.

After all, during the period when our army entered the Korean war, logistics problems have always been an important factor that plagued our army's offensive and defense, so much so that the United Nations forces deduced the rhythm of our army's offensive from our army's fragile logistics system, that is, the famous "Weekly Offensive":

That is, the supply of our army's offensive troops can only maintain the offensive capability for about a week, and beyond this time, the offensive will be weakened or even suspended because the logistics cannot be replenished in time.

It was precisely this point that the United Nations forces seized on this point, and in the early stage of our army's offensive, they took advantage of the advantages of mechanized mobility and retreated in great strides in order to avoid the sharp edge of our army.

Bai Yi has no lofty ideals to change history, let alone the grand goal of becoming a king and hegemon, what he wants to do is nothing more than to let those young soldiers who crossed the Yalu River come back with more......

But the problem is that he does have some ideas in terms of logistics, and he told Qin Dongmin all of them, even if the head of the General Logistics Department wants to hear it, he can just go over and report it in person, why bother writing a report, you must know that Bai Yi's writing skills are not ordinarily poor, and he was born without the life of a copywriter, not to mention that at this time, there is no computer, and there is no typewriter, completely handwritten, and the report of thousands of words must be written down by hand, Bai Yi said that the pressure is really great!

However, the pressure is great, the military order is like a mountain, and the rewriting has to be written, so Bai Yi held back for a day, and saved as much as possible what could be saved, even if it could not be saved, it should be as brief as possible, such as deleted and deleted, reduced and reduced, and finally formed a report of less than 2,000 words.

To put it simply, there are three things, first, to unify the caliber of ammunition as much as possible, and here Bai Yi's suggestion is that the infantry unit should use three caliber ammunition, namely 6.5mm, 7.92mm and 11.43mm, which are respectively to deal with rifles, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns.

The reason for the use of these three calibers is also very simple, that is, the domestic possession is very large, that is, it can withstand consumption, easy to replenish in time, 6.5mm ammunition needless to say, from the beginning of the 918 incident, these calibers have formed an indissoluble bond with China, before and after more than ten years, it has become the most familiar ammunition in the Chinese army, not only the production process is mature, the amount of ownership is also very large, not to mention anything else, the 50 type automatic rifle finally decided to use the 6.5mm caliber intermediate power bullet, which is a big reason for this.

The same is true for 7.92mm full-power rifle cartridges, because this caliber is the standard caliber of the national government's army, from the establishment of the 30s, until the complete defeat, there have been nearly 20 years, overseas imports and self-production, so that the number of holdings is also quite large.

A large part of the guns equipped by our army in the Central Plains are 7.92mm caliber, but compared with rifles, the Min 24 heavy machine gun and ZB-26 light machine gun, which are the pillars of our army's infantry firepower, also use this caliber.

However, even if it is simplified, there are still three different calibers, and the pressure on logistics is still very great, so Bai Yi put forward the second point, that is, the use of modular packaging, this concept first appeared in the Anzio landing battle of the U.S. military in Italy during World War II.

After the war, after successive local wars, it was finally perfected at the beginning of the 21st century, and its core was to flexibly organize ammunition, food, and other necessary materials into supply units according to the priorities of different arms and arms, different combat missions, and material supplies, and send them to the front line to be used at any time, without the need for secondary or tertiary distribution.

For example, in the case of an ordinary infantryman, the traditional supply is to receive a certain amount of ammunition first, and then go to get the food, and then get some daily necessities, even if it is slightly integrated, you need to line up, with food in one hand and ammunition in the other.

As for the logistics officers and soldiers, they are even more busy, not only to distribute materials, but also to reclassify and file, and the use of modular sub-packaging is not so troublesome, and the fixed base ammunition, food, and daily necessities are agreed to be placed in one container, and the soldiers only need to open the box and carry it on their backs.

In this way, the distribution time will be saved, the front-line fighters will be able to quickly respond to various emergencies, and more importantly, the exposure time of the logistics supply points will also be greatly shortened, which is very important for our army, which lacks air supremacy, and the situation is similar for other branches of the military.

As for the third point, that is, we should continue to strengthen military production in the rear and combine the expansion of production capacity with the research and development of technology, that is, to learn from war in the course of war, and to explore the direction of future development of weapons and equipment in the course of war, so as to promote the progress of the entire industrial system......

After this report was handed over, the head of the General Logistics Department immediately summoned the supervisors at all levels in charge of logistics to discuss how to establish a more effective support system.

However, compared with Bai Yi's suggestion of the security system, the head of the General Logistics Department paid more attention to the last one, because it was not for the present, but for the future, so he stood in front of the office window again, staring into the distance, and bold thoughts that he would never agree to before kept popping up in his mind......
