Chapter 1174: Solving the Big Problem
In fact, I can't complain that these red commanders have floated.
In the entire baggage area of the railway station, except for an infantry company of the bayonet battalion that arranged the defensive line, more than 200 people from the entire quartermaster department dispatched with the army all participated in the inventory. But just then, it took more than an hour to count, and until Division Commander Liu and their headquarters drove through the Lack of Donkey Ridge and almost arrived at Xuehua Mountain, they still couldn't provide Liu Lang with an accurate number.
Only Liu Lang and Brigade Commander Chen Da were given, as well as the two regiment commanders who annihilated the remnants of Harada Shinichi, and even searched the mountains and rushed over the 771 Regiment and the Teaching Regiment, a long list of supplies and approximate figures.
Even the local tyrants were like waves, and after seeing this batch of materials, they couldn't help but be shocked.
It's not that the pile-up of materials made Liu Tuhao see the money, but he was surprised by the Japanese army's logistics and supply capacity at this time. All the history books write that the Japanese army's logistical support capability is much stronger than that of the national army, but it is a scum compared to the old empires of European countries such as the Third Reich and the Empire on which the sun never sets.
However, being able to transport two infantry brigades and one artillery wing to the logistics base within a week that can continue to fight for a month and deliver hundreds or even 1,000 tons of supplies to the logistics base is really not weak.
Moreover, in addition to spare firearms and ammunition, there is a wide variety of baggage stored in warehouses near the train station and in the open air.
There is no time to weigh and count such grains as rice and white flour, and there are nearly one million catties of canned food just according to the number of stacks piled up in the warehouse, and there are about 200,000 canned food. In addition to food, there are also gas masks, steel helmets, military boots and various daily necessities.
When the Japanese army was fighting, not only could the gun be repaired or replaced if it was broken, but the ammunition was also guaranteed to be sufficient, and even the food and drink were readily available.
On the other hand, on the side of the national army, not to mention the marginal troops that are not taken seriously like the 17th Division, nor the allied front troops like the 129th Division, even if it is the Third Army of the Central Army located in the main defense line of Niangzi Pass, the 50 rounds of ammunition per soldier are only one-third of the Japanese infantry. As for the food, it is even worse.
It depends on the logistics supply base of the people, and the distribution is polished rice and fine noodles, as well as canned beef, salt, toffee and a certain amount of vegetables. On the Chinese army's side, it would be nice to have two big steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup. Of course, if there is a little oil splash on the vegetable soup, it will definitely be the result of today's battle being fought well and the army commander and division commander in a good mood.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the Japanese, who paid special attention to details, had already done a lot in the area of logistics support, and I don't know how much ahead of the Chinese.
Whenever there was a battlefield, the morale of the Japanese army was very strong, and the characteristic of not being afraid of death was not only cultivated by shouting two words of "allegiance to the emperor," but it was also the inevitable result of people's excellent logistical support.
Of course, it would be biased to attribute the morale of the armed forces to the complete logistical support.
It is desirable to ensure that every soldier is treated like the only child of the future of the Republic, but there are armies that have never won a war. Like Italy, the biggest comic ----country of World War II in the next few years, the country is several times more financially powerful than their ally, Japan, and the officers and soldiers who go out not only have the necessary food security, but even their favorite pasta is well prepared. But the result?
The mustachioed FΓΌhrer probably regretted the most because he had signed an alliance with these trolls, not only did he not provide enough assistance to his Third Reich, but they also had to go to great lengths to wipe their butts and save them from all kinds of fires and waters.
And what made the whole Italy laugh and generous was a field airfield attack and defense battle on the Central African battlefield in the middle of World War II, more than 500 Italian troops were ordered to defend a field airfield, they had solid concrete permanent fortifications, sufficient ammunition, and even received 2 powerful 88 guns supported by the Third Reich and sufficient ammunition. Those two 88 guns can hit the plane at an altitude of several thousand meters when they are erected, and they can beat the fierce guy of the thick-skinned Tiger tank when they are laid down, and they are a big killer in any era.
The attacking side's Imperial Army of the Sun Never Sets only has more than 400 people, and it doesn't even have decent heavy weapons, so who would be so stupid to send them to death? So Ma Yu made plans to retreat.
However, something happened that shocked the big teeth of the commanders all over the world. The sun never set, before the imperial soldiers had time to turn around and slap their butts and run away, the Italian army, which had a "big killer", unexpectedly raised a white flag.
Yes, you saw that right, they surrendered.
When the sad Imperial Officer carefully accepted the surrender of his tough opponent, and then politely asked the commander of the enemy who could beat himself to the point that he didn't even know why he surrendered, the other party said angrily: "We don't have a crowbar, we can't open those damn ammo boxes!"
God knows if the extremely sad commander of the empire where the sun never sets at that time was talking about NMB, anyway, Liu Lang wanted to say, count you ruthlessγγγγγγ
The fact that the Italian army, which was equipped with a screwdriver to uncork the red wine bottle, chose to surrender because it did not have a crowbar to pry open the ammunition box, which is undoubtedly the biggest joke in the history of the world military.
But he did.
Ascribed morale to logistics, of course, is too absolute. There is no doubt that having complete logistical support can definitely play a huge role in war.
In the face of the mountain of materials, although he already knew the obvious gap between the financial resources of the two countries, Liu Lang still couldn't help but sigh.
The Chinese people of this era, against such a powerful Japanese army, dragged on for eight years, and almost dragged the Japanese to death, it is really hellish difficulty!
Although many people say that the future surrender of Japan is because of the participation of the Americans, the use of incendiary bombs and big fat bombs will make the Japanese unable to even burn jade, so they can only surrender unconditionally. But Liu Lang never thought so, especially in this era, after meeting so many of the loveliest people in this era. Whether it was a general or a soldier, they told Liu Lang with their backs resolutely stepping on the battlefield that they did not want to be heroes, but they were Chinese.
Liu Lang firmly believes that even if there is no American participation, there is a Chinese battlefield in China, as long as there are these Chinese backbones who gnaw on steamed buns and drink salty soup and still go to the battlefield without hesitation and may never return, the victors of this war must belong to China.
This is not a Q-style method of spiritual victory, but the essential law of the development of things. It is always the people, not the equipment, that determines the direction of the victory in the war.
China's huge land and huge population base have been decided, as long as the Chinese do not surrender and choose to resist, there is no nation in this world that can conquer the resilient people who have lived on this planet for more than 5,000 years.
Even if it is as strong as Japan, a war can bring in a huge amount of materials that will make all the people of the country dizzy, so what? Not only did these materials become the nourishment that could strengthen the Chinese army, but looking to the future, Liu Lang knew that when the battle line was lengthened, the long supply line would also be full of holes in the Japanese that were not a powerful logistical blow.
At the end of the war, the Japanese not only could not eat polished rice and fine white noodles, but canned beef also became canned seaside fish, which was a little salty. That's it, from time to time, it has become a trophy of the national army and the red army.
Thousands of miles of supply lines, armored vehicles with heavy machine guns did not scare away many Chinese rebels waiting for them to send supplies.
It's a little farther, or in front of you.
Among them, in addition to ordnance and ammunition, the happiest thing for the red commanders was the winter clothes and quilts in an entire warehouse.
It is already late autumn, and in ten and a half days, it will be early winter. Even now, at night, you can feel the chill of the mountain breeze just by wearing a jacket. And the red soldiers, from generals to soldiers, are still wearing thin spring and autumn jacket uniforms.
At this time, the big guy can carry it by relying on his body, but if it is late November, he will not be able to carry it.
In the winter in the northern mountains, the daily temperature is below freezing, and if it is at night, the cold mountain wind is like a knife, and even wearing a sheepskin jacket may not be very warm.
These days, perhaps in addition to worrying about the war with the Japanese army, the most worrying thing for the commanders of the 129th Division is the problem of winter clothes for officers and soldiers.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on the cotton harvested in the barren land of northern Shaanxi to make cotton clothes for millions of soldiers and civilians, and the 129th Division sent troops to Shanxi can only find its own way to raise winter clothes and quilts.
However, the Japanese army came at a very bad time, Shanxi belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the cotton picking period is basically concentrated in early August. It was during the cotton picking season that the Japanese army came.
Because of the war disaster, the cotton harvest was greatly reduced. Not to mention that the Red Army itself is poor, even if they are rich now, it is not necessary to equip every soldier with cotton clothes and quilts that can withstand the cold wind before the cold winter comes.
As a result, as soon as the huge logistics base of the Japanese army was captured, this problem that had plagued the commanders of various departments for a long time was solved.
At least 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts are not only one set for the entire 129th Division, but even thousands of sets for the red center far away in northern Shaanxi.
His Excellency Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi is definitely a good person who sends charcoal in the snow!
Even the future military god, who rarely jokes and has always been known for his rigor, couldn't help but praise the opponent of the 20th Division, who was still sixty kilometers away, after hearing the news.
not only praised it, but also used a somewhat ridiculous "honorific". It can be seen that 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts have solved a difficult problem of the 129th Division.
Wealth touches people's hearts! Even the god of war is not exempt from vulgarity.
Liu Lang, hearing the rare ridicule of the military god to the opponent, couldn't help but laugh a little.
