Chapter 65: Harassment of Supply Lines

Fu Erdan's idea could not be hidden from Tan Feng, after all, Tan Feng was born in Inner Mongolia, and of course he knew the importance of vegetables to nomads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Vitamins in info vegetables are necessary for the human body, and if there are no vitamins, the body will be sub-healthy, especially night blindness is a high incidence on the grassland.

"We will then focus on guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, and harass and even annihilate them in small numbers through the method of knocking kraft candy piecemeal. And, the main thing is to select the logistics supply operations of the Eight Banners and capture more vegetables. Tan Feng said.

Tan Feng's order was issued, and the troops of the cavalry division began to disperse, and they went out to conduct guerrilla operations in companies as units.

"Company commander, we found those imperial infantry, but it looks like a logistics baggage unit!" It was said.

The cavalry company commander quickly said, "Give me a strike and destroy them!" ”

More than a hundred cavalrymen began to charge, shouting: "Charge! ”

Those Eight Banners infantry were hacked to death one after another, and those more than 100 Eight Banner infantry were quickly wiped out. However, more than 100 soldiers of the Eight Banners did not care about an army with tens of thousands of people.

"Company commander, what are we going to do with these things? These materials are all grain and grass from the Eight Banners, and there are a lot of fresh vegetables, we need these foods! A cavalryman said.

When those cavalrymen saw these food and grass supplies, their eyes suddenly shone brightly. Because these things are nothing else, they are all fresh vegetables. After living in the grassland for a long time, they need a lot of vitamins and other things to supplement, which is what they lack the most. These fresh vegetables are not easy to get rid of, and even a lot of food has to be taken away. In the grassland, there may not be a shortage of beef and mutton, but vegetables are the most lacking.

"We have to take it back, but we still have a combat mission next? What's more, so many things, if we all put them on the war horse, it will not be easy! The Han cavalry said.

However, someone soon said: "Company commander, don't we have a transport unit?" We're going to ask the infantry to take care of the transport, and they're not necessarily much slower than we are!" ”

"That's right! Send someone to request an infantry transport! ”

The corresponding order was transmitted to Tan Feng's headquarters, and Tan Feng saw the information that the relevant cavalry had returned, and after the preliminary processing by the General Staff, he quickly had a plan.

"Commander, these imperial courts have sent a lot of fresh vegetables from the rear, which has made our soldiers greedy. However, our cavalry did not have enough transport capacity to transport them back, and some had to give up. They need to send transport troops to support, especially our motorized infantry, and they should also go out to fight at this time. At least take part in the transport, otherwise they really think it's useless. Wang Jingwen said.

Seeing this, Tan Feng immediately ordered: "Okay, immediately order the infantry bicycle transport regiment to transport all these things back!" Xu Qifeng, this is the first transportation, you go and personally organize and supervise it. ”

Xu Qifeng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and supervise it myself immediately!" ”

Xu Qifeng is the commander of the infantry division, but one of the infantry divisions is a motorized infantry regiment, which moves on a bicycle. The other is the foot infantry, and as for the last regiment in charge of transportation, this time to loot and capture these fresh vegetables, but the most important good thing!

"Click, Click, Click......"

The soldiers of the transport regiment rode their bicycles and walked forward as fast as they could have been. Of course, this bicycle also made a creaking sound, and the quality of the bicycle was obviously not comparable to those of later generations. However, this speed was also very fast, and they came to the place where the cavalry had just fought at a speed that was almost slower than the cavalry charge. It was less than half an hour before the cavalry finished the battle, and those Manchu support had obviously not yet arrived.

"Everyone hurry up and rush to transport these vegetables and all kinds of logistical supplies back!" Xu Qifeng said.

The cargo bicycles loaded the Manchu supplies onto the vehicles, and these bicycles were loaded with all kinds of vegetables and various materials, and then Xu Qifeng hurriedly began to organize the troops to transport them in the direction of the headquarters.

"It's still a powerful commander, he actually invented such a powerful bicycle, it's just a Yiliang bicycle, and it can actually transport more than 300 catties of materials. What's more, it is still permanent manpower, not horsepower, and I don't know how many things are saved! The head of the transport group said excitedly.

In the past, military transportation was nothing more than trolleys or horse-drawn carts, and in the past, trolleys had poor transportation capacity and poor manpower utilization. A trolley may have someone who can push as much weight as a cargo bike, but speed is a problem. However, the use of horses for transportation, not to mention whether there are enough horses, even if there are enough horses, the cost of horses is quite a lot. Tan Feng, a cavalryman, knew very well that the daily food cost of a horse was more expensive than that of a cavalryman on horseback.

How to effectively use manpower is Tan Feng's biggest problem at present. Only by digging out manpower and achieving the maximum effect at the lowest cost is what Tan Feng has to do.

"Yes! Commander Tan is the most powerful, and he has tapped out as much of each of our manpower, whether physical or mental, so that we can defeat the enemy once and again with the least number of troops. Otherwise, we would have failed a long time ago, where would we have the current result? Don't look at our small numbers, but our cavalry combat effectiveness, as well as the infantry combat effectiveness, and your transportation capacity, are no less than any Manchu troops. Xu Qifeng said.

The head of the transport regiment nodded, of course agreeing with this. He knew that his command was only a transport force of more than 1,000 people, but if he estimated that he had more than 1,000 people, the transportation capacity would definitely be no less than 10,000 or 20,000 people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and maybe even more.

"If according to the past calculation, all the people are counted in the army, then am I equal to 10,000 generals?" The head of the transport regiment laughed at himself.

Xu Qifeng nodded and said, "I now know why the commander has been emphasizing ability, not numbers. The transportation capacity of a transport group like yours alone is not inferior to that of a Manchu 10,000 people, and even a lot of savings compared to the Manchu 10,000 people. Of course, it is the improvement of combat effectiveness, so the commander has always proposed to have combat effectiveness, not just numbers, and it really makes sense. ”

When Tan Feng's transport group finished rushing all kinds of supplies, those Manchu support personnel were late, and then said in surprise: "Where are the materials?" What about our supplies? Eaten by a ghost? ”
