Chapter 300: Planning
Mobile reading
"It's no wonder that airships are not suitable for action in cold areas, especially now that the Yellow River is frozen in Shanxi, it will definitely have an impact on the airship itself." Du Yande said, "Therefore, in the case of fighting in Shanxi, in order to ensure aerial reconnaissance and fire support, it is necessary to use aircraft, and there is no way." β
"Entourage, what do you mean? Do you still have to ......" Sun Wenbin's words were halfway through, Yang Minghuan interrupted him, "Yuan Zhenli should be talking about ground staff and airport construction personnel, otherwise it must be very troublesome for the ground airport to take off and land, and Shanxi is a mountainous area, what if it hits the mountain?" β
"That's right!" Xiao Jing added on the side, "We are now cold like this in the tropics, and when we arrive in Shanxi, there must be thick snow everywhere, whether it is on the mountain, down the mountain or in the ravine, it is snow-white, let alone the direction of the designated attack, even if you want to confirm the direction, you can't do it." Therefore, the role of the ground staff is very important, at least to clean the runway or something. β
"If it's so troublesome, why do we have to send the Air Force over? It would be nice to equip the troops with hot air balloons and sighting equipment. Sun Wenbin cloaked his hand and said, "We haven't been using hot air balloons for a day or two, and we have a lot of experience in using them, so we don't need airplanes at all." β
"Although the preparation for the take-off of the hot air balloon is not cumbersome, it itself is not powered, and it will fly wherever the wind blows," Zhang Yuan said, "It is winter again, and it takes almost an hour to warm up just by taking off, and it may not be possible to do it immediately, and it can only be tied to a point on the ground for observation during observation, and the lack of comparison of the observed values or something, the plane is different, observing a point from multiple directions, the position is more accurate, and at such a high place, There are many obstacles on the ground that cannot be seen at all, so it is necessary for an airplane to check the road traffic from different angles. β
"Okay, so how many people do we need this time, and how much food should we prepare?" Sun Wenbin was no longer entangled in whether he should send planes to the war, and asked directly, "How should this grain be processed?" β
There are so many aspects to grain processing that this time I went to a place that could be called ice and snow, so I couldn't completely fix military rations on compressed biscuits and fried rice fried noodles. The cold temperature will take away too much heat from the officers and men of the combat, so the food standard of these troops should belong to the cold zone combat standard, that is, the high-fat and high-calorie meal plan. Not only does this food contain meat, but it also has a lot of sugar. Originally, according to the original cold zone combat food standards, the food also contained cocoa, that is, chocolate, but because the elders misestimated the power of the Xiaoice River period in this time and space, the cocoa seedlings planted were slow to develop, and it seemed that it would take several years to bear fruit, so for the time being, they could only rely on sucrose and fructose to make up for the lack of high-calorie food types.
According to the standards of cold zone warfare, a soldier eats almost one tael of pork belly, two sea fish, and one piece of corned beef a day. About 20 to 30 grams of sugar are consumed every day, all of which are packaged in sugar cubes wrapped in small oiled paper, and can be thrown directly into your mouth or brewed with hot water when eating. Originally, these sugars could be distributed at the base in the Oriental Harbor, but after several spot checks, it was found that many soldiers used these sugar cubes and fried rice and fried noodles as small snacks, and even if they ate a little every day, they ate these emergency rations that were originally used for emergency time, so these rations would not be distributed to soldiers in the near future. And with this came a huge change in the taste of the compressed dry food for the military, according to the requirements of the military commissary, "the military ration must be unpalatable!" If it wasn't unpalatable, it was eaten by the soldiers as a snack. Although the soldiers complained, it effectively reduced the probability of soldiers stealing and distributing emergency dry food, and the meal rate and CD rate of the army canteen were greatly improved.
This time to go north to Shanxi, of course, the logistics department will prepare a large amount of emergency compressed dry food, but at the same time, it will also distribute a large number of canned food, which naturally includes the most common canned vegetables and fruits in Dongfang Port. Since this trip is to Shanxi, which is known as a land of ice and snow, it is impossible to rely on the purchase of vegetables and fruits to maintain the vitamin content in the soldiers' bodies, so canned vegetables and fruits must be indispensable. In addition to canned vegetables and fruits, there are also canned meat that are ready for shipment, which not only contain pork and beef, but also horse meat and donkey meat, some of which have even been in the freezer for more than half a year, knowing that the number of donkeys and horses killed in the defense of Shabak is quite large. Of course, human flesh is not to be eaten, but can only be buried. However, the meat of livestock must not be wasted, you must know that the pile of livestock carcasses at that time could not be contained, and had to temporarily borrow the large cold storage equipment on the Dongfeng for storage to prevent deterioration. This led the food production department of Port Vostochny to consider whether it was appropriate to build a meat canning plant to process the carcasses.
Fortunately, there is nothing else in the Oriental Port, and there is a frightening amount of technical reserve information, you must know that even the underground cold storage where livestock carcasses are stored is a "gas" cold storage urgently developed by a heavy industry laboratory, using gas as a refrigerant. As for the meat canning factory, it is naturally simpler than gas cold storage, which is nothing more than the processing of raw meatβ cutting β crushing β mixingβ canningβ exhausting and sealingβ sterilization and cooling β finished products. With the determination of the production process, the heavy industry laboratory will begin to design the production equipment, and now with the production of the Oriental Port Hardware Factory, all kinds of forming plates and screws and nuts and other parts needed for the production of equipment can be easily obtained, and convenient maintenance can also be carried out, so whether it is production or adjustment for the on-site situation, it is unprecedented convenience and convenience. If it weren't for the natives of this time and space, they didn't dare to let them interfere in the factory investment related to food production, otherwise meat food factories would have blossomed everywhere in Anyun. Especially now that the Committee of Agriculture has just begun the outsourcing work of the rabbit farm, the supporting woolen mill production equipment has also begun to entrust the hardware factory machinery production workshop for production, once the rabbit farm begins to produce enough meat, it can be expected that the output of rabbit meat will greatly make up for the meat vacancy in the large underground cold storage that has now begun to see some bottom. You must know that even now, the Committee of Agriculture has set up a special breeding and poultry breeding institution, but because these raised livestock are far from reaching the level of "baby boom", it is impossible to produce enough meat in a short period of time for the elders and naturalized people of Dongfang Port to eat, so even the canteen of the veterans, who claims to have the best food conditions, only has meat supply on Saturdays and Sundays, and it is personally checked by Tang Shuai or Tian Hua, and each person only has one spoonful. When there is no meat supply, only fish is available.
From the establishment of the army in the port of the East to the present, the development of the army's firehead army is also relatively fast, and the field cooking utensils used by the troops are similar to the standards of the German army in World War II in the old world, and the troops have cooking vehicles with the main force, these cooking vehicles can use coal, wood and other fuels for cooking operations, and in case of emergency, they can also burn horse dung and cow dung and even use gasoline and diesel for operations. A cooking cart can prepare food for the officers and soldiers of a company within an hour, and now the army in Dongfang Port has been equipped with a large number of such cooking carts, and it is conceivable that this march into Shanxi will inevitably carry a large number of these cooking carts to provide hot food to the soldiers and ensure heat.
In fact, none of the above problems are difficult problems, and the only problem is the insufficient transportation capacity of the army's logistics units. Whether it is the old time and space or the current time and space, this era is either dependent on cattle and horses or completely dependent on manpower in terms of transportation, either cattle and horses are transported by carts, and it is not uncommon to carry them on their shoulders, if this mode of transportation is used, it is very likely that a transport team of 600 to 700 people will be needed to meet the needs of the regiment's logistical supply line, and if it is calculated in this way, in addition to the 16,700 people in the combat troops, the army going north this time will have to add 6,700 people in charge of transportation, plus about 100 to 200 people in charge of the transfer station. In addition, there must also be a logistics and security force responsible for protecting the transport team, according to this scale, at least 300 to 400 people are needed, so that the logistics alone may need to invest almost 1,500 people, so that the amount of materials that need to be guaranteed has to be doubled, although the navy can guarantee a part of the material supply, but because we have to take into account that the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea of the Wu Dynasty may be frozen in winter, the transfer of materials is likely to be more cumbersome. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the logistical manpower to a certain extent, otherwise just feeding this group of logistics personnel will make the navy scratch its head.
"That means you can't use standard shipping methods, right?" Zhang Yuan gently put the pencil down on the table and said to several other executive committee members, seeing that everyone nodded one after another, he stood up a little happily, "I have a trick for this question!" β
Although his voice was not loud, it was quite loud in the conference room, and several executive committee members hurriedly looked at him, "What can be done?" "Don't sell it!" "Say it quickly!"
"Amphibious vehicles!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten the amphibious vehicles equipped by the Marine Corps?" β
Several people were stunned, but they immediately remembered that it was true that the Marine Corps had specially asked the Heavy Industry Laboratory to design the amphibious landing vehicle, known as the "rolling two maggots", according to the needs of seaside tidal flat operations and amphibious operations. This amphibious vehicle is equipped with two spiral drums underneath, which can rotate under the engine drive, and the thrust forward and backward and steering are generated by the threaded friction of the spiral drum, and because the spiral drum is hollow, it can carry a considerable weight and float on the water, and move forward through the threaded stroke.
"But we don't have that many amphibious vehicles!" Yang Minghuan returned to his previous depression, "To meet the transportation of so many materials and personnel, it is necessary to need thirty to forty amphibious vehicles to maintain capacity?" β
"It's okay, this is not a problem, we have a way to solve it," Zhang Yuan said and turned on the mobile phone, rummaged in the mobile phone a few times, and then shared it on the mobile phones of the participants, in the photos displayed on the mobile phone screen, an old Dongfeng truck was towing a large four-wheel trailer behind it, and its size was even larger than the truck itself. "That's it, trailer mode."
"Can you drag?" Sun Wenbin was a little worried, "And although there are many muddy lands in the north, Shanxi is dominated by mountains!" Gravel on the ground can seriously damage the threads on the spiral drum of the amphibious vehicle! β
"It's not a problem," Zhang Yuanzhi said with concern, "Our amphibious vehicles can not only tow, but also drag the weight of two or three trailers, the only flaw is that the requirements for the ground are more complicated, preferably soft ground, and you need to avoid smooth roads and solid ground." But the last thing we lack now is soft ground, because it's definitely snowing now, and amphibious vehicles, because of their light body, can drive quickly on the snow without being affected by the pressure of the snow. β
Du Yande objected to this, "Just because the amphibious vehicle won't sink doesn't mean that the trailer won't fall!" When it snows in the north, it is more than a meter deep, and the wheels of the trailer are likely to sink directly into it, or even the entire trailer will fall into the snow and cannot get out, so there is no point in doing so. β
"How can it be pointless?" Xiao Jing, who had been talking to the side all the time, spoke, "I seem to understand what Zhang Yuan meant, although the trailer is a trailer, it does not use wheels, but directly adopts the way of a sled, and the sled can move flexibly on the snow without falling into the snow, so that neither the amphibious vehicle nor the sled trailer will fall into the snow." As he spoke, he held up his right index finger and dotted in the air, making several members of the executive committee think he was playing a VR game.
"That's right! That's what it means! After all, we are the workers of the Industrial Council! Zhang Yuan said excitedly took out a piece of paper from the folder, took a pencil and drew quickly on the paper, "Anyway, it will take about a month to prepare for the Shanxi Expeditionary Force, we now have more than ten sets of spiral rollers, but we lack engines, if necessary, directly install boilers and steam engines, which can also be driven, and even can be modified according to freight needs to lengthen them." β
"Steam engine?" Du Yande hurriedly objected, "Soft water is needed for the operation of the steam engine, and soft water in Shanxi is not so easy to get, right?" And it takes coal to burn the boiler! β
"Coal?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Oh my God! We went to Shanxi! Shanxi is the most famous coal mining province! You will definitely be able to get coal there, and even if you don't have it, you will dig out the coal! β
