Section 4 Prelude to the Decisive Battle I
The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 10, the Raging Tide, and the fourth section of the decisive battle
Approaching the ChΕ«n Festival, a sudden heavy snowfall turned the Central Plains into a white expanse, but the spacious and turbulent Yellow River was now like a quiet place, frozen in this vicissitudes of land. //γΠ/
It was a busy winter, and the entire Huanghuai land, from Hubei and Hunan, to Henan and Hebei, on countless highways and trails, was full of cars, cars, carriages, and trolleys, forming a vast army of goods, advancing to the north. In these armies, there are grandfathers with gray hair, young men who have not yet opened, strong fathers, and girls with big braids. There are peasants from the countryside, as well as young masters from the cities of Xuchang and Zhengzhou in Wuhan, forming this army of millions of people, and the breath they exhale condenses into a white mist in the air.
The wheels hit the rails, making a clanging, boring sound, the cars were loaded with all kinds of supplies, the roads on both sides of the tracks were a constant stream of people, the carriages were wide open, and the cold air was pouring in from outside.
Hong Junqi stood in the only open area in the carriage, all the carriages were full of bullets, Hong Junqi ordered that no carriage was allowed to be empty, and if you could put a box of bullets, you would put a box, there was no desk on this carriage, and two simple desks were piled up with the bullet box, one of which had two radio stations on it, and the secretary next to him was reporting to him.
Hong Junqi has obviously lost a lot of weight, his chin has become sharper, his beard has not been shaved for several days, the military coat is tightly wrapped around his body, and from the open car, he can clearly see the front team carrying supplies on foot under the car.
"This is the result just obtained, the warehouses on the front line report, after a month and a half of busyness, the shortage of artillery shells has been resolved, at present, the front-line armies, there are five bases of shells, and there are still four bases of reserves in the warehouses, the eastern, central and western third lines, the logistics supervision group reports, the armies have reached eight bases of bullets, and there are six bases in the warehouses, in terms of oil, the first and fifth armies of the mechanized army have sufficient oil, but there are only two bases for spare fuel, and the tank brigades of other independent tank divisions are not enough for oil, It will take at least ten days to meet the need. As for the Air Force, the Air Force's airfields and logistics warehouses have three bases of fuel, and according to the scale and duration of this offensive, at least five bases of fuel are needed; In terms of ammunition, the Air Force basically has enough ammunition to need, but there is only one base number of ammunition reserves in logistics warehouses, and in order to meet operational needs, it is necessary to increase the number of ammunition by three bases. Food ,..."
After the secretary finished reporting, he looked up at Hong Junqi, hesitated and said, "Commander, we can't be blamed for this, we have mobilized six million people and done our best. β
Although the logistics department worked together, the supplies were still insufficient, especially food. Playing yΓ o, sent to one round is counted as one shot, but the grain is not good, at least one and a half million catties of grain must be consumed every day, in addition to horse forage; Gasoline and diesel are also being consumed, and the Air Force makes frequent sorties, and the fuel consumed every day is amazing, but fortunately, the Air Force's fuel is not only rushed by trains and cars, but also by the Air Force's own transport planes.
Hong Junqi shook his head and did not answer, Zhuang Jihua would not accept this result, although he did not participate in the last combat meeting, but Hong Junqi faintly guessed that the scale of this attack was far greater than before, and the duration of time was also greater than before, the longest attack before was only a month, this time from the perspective of the assembled materials, the duration of the attack will be unprecedented, if everything goes well, it can be hit to the northeast.
But the task, he did not complete, he had a strong feeling that the military meeting held by Zhuang Jihua this time will finally announce the time of the offensive, the real attack deployment, the picture is exhausted, the truth and falsehood of the past few months will be known, as long as six and a half years, no, it is a thirteen-year war, it will be known.
Without waiting for Hong Junqi's answer, the secretary put the documents into the document bag, and then sat down at the desk set up by the two bullet boxes and continued to prepare the documents for the military meeting in the war zone.
The radio was ticking, and the adjutant took the telegram from the translator: "Report, Commander Zhuang asked, can we rush to Dexian today?" β
"Call back, yes." Hong Junqi didn't look back, and stood up from the corner of the carriage A middle-aged soldier, the gold star on his shoulder indicated that his rank was major general, and he was holding a document in his hand.
"Commander, the problem is serious," Hong Junqi turned to look at him, and the major general looked down at the document and said: "There is still about 50,000 tons of diesel fuel needed for the front line, and the T34 tank is not burning gasoline, and the North China Theater is equipped with more than 2,600 T34s, which require 1,063 tons, and the current theater reserves are only 420 tons, and there is still a gap of 643 tons, but the diesel reserves in Wuhan and Chongqing are gone, and there are still 760 tons in Yangon." After five days, the Americans will deliver 3,200 tons of diesel, 5,000 tons of gasoline. β
The major general finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Hong Junqi, Hong Junqi's heart sank, this number means that the T34 tank in the North China Theater can only run less than 500 kilometers, and when it rushes to the city of Pingjin, it becomes a pile of scrap iron.
Hong Junqi was a little annoyed in his heart, turned around and walked to the secretary's desk, stretched out his hand to grab the document and hurriedly put it on the page just now: "Doesn't this say that there are two bases?" What's going on!? Say! What's going on! β
The major general took it, looked at it a few times, and shook his head with a wry smile: "This is the people below who are engaged in luΓ n, the two bases are the sum of gasoline and diesel, and there is not so much diesel." β
"Who is lying about the military situation!" Hong Junqi angrily punched down on the table: "Check it for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has to kill him!" β
The major general sighed, also a little dissatisfied, but fortunately he checked the volume of shipments, as well as the figures reported by various ministries, and checked these figures, only to find this serious omission, and fortunately found this omission.
"Commander, it's too busy now, the people below are too busy to fall to the ground, I don't think it's an example, well, our report form is also wrong, it's too simple, we have to formulate a more rigorous report form, bullets and shells should be divided into models, and grain should be divided into rice and flour."
There was an implicit reproach in the tone of the major general, and there were factors in the logistics command itself for this omission, and the following could not be blamed entirely. Hong Junqi turned around twice, walked to the mouth of MΓ©n, let the cold wind blow violently for a while, and finally calmed down, now is indeed not the best time to investigate, and can only make amends.
"Okay, re-make the report, let the following re-count, I want it tomorrow." Hong Junqi gave in: "But how to solve the problem of diesel?" How much time will the captain give us? β
Before discovering this problem, there was no feeling, when this problem suddenly popped up, Hong Junqi found that he had made a major mistake, before he was not without a chance to make up for it, but traditionally, weapons and ammunition are the first priority, so in the past few months, especially weapons, have been listed in the first place, Yangon to Wuhan, has been like this, the equipment of the 51st Group Army was transported to North China in these two months, and the theater urgently redressed the 51st Group Army, The 59th Army and the New 19th Army have become the all-American armament armies, and the entire group army is undergoing intense pre-war training under the command of Wang Guobin and the US military advisory group.
But Hong Junqi was not sure in his heart, in this short period of time, how Wang Guobin and the US military advisory team could make those soldiers proficient in American weapons, based on intuition, Hong Junqi thought that Zhuang Jihua had made a mistake.
The major general smiled bitterly and spread his hands, his name is Deng Yifei, he is also from the Southwest Development Team, he was brought into the logistics department by Hong Junqi, and he has been working in the logistics department until now, and he is the chief of staff of the logistics department.
The cadres from the Southwest Development Team admired Zhuang Jihua, and most of them unconsciously labeled themselves as Zhuang, and they were not called by their current official position, but by captain.
"Damn, there's a lot of excitement right now." Hong Junqi scolded in a low voice.
The indicator light on the radio was still flashing, ticking endlessly, and the radio operator was like a shuttle, and all the logistical problems from Yangon to Shijiazhuang were fed back here, and Hong Junqi made a decision.
After passing through Jinan, crossing the Yellow River, and entering the North China Plain, there are more front teams, there are speeding trucks on the road, farmers driving mule carts on the snow, Hong Junqi even sees donkey carts, and there are also Jinan's sons and brothers with three-wheeled motorcycles, and there are several boxes of bullets piled up on the funnel.
Approaching Dexian, the atmosphere is obviously different, there are more soldiers and patrols, there are more sentry posts along the way, and the Dexian station is even more heavily guarded, and even high-ranking generals like Hong Junqi, and those who get down from the arms train in the rear are also under the cross-examination of two checkpoints.
The theater headquarters did not send a car to pick it up, and Hong Junqi took Hu LuΓ n, the Dexian military station of the logistics department, to eat a bowl of rice, so he asked for two cars to rush to the headquarters, and when he arrived at the headquarters, it was already the beginning of the day.
After walking into the headquarters, Hong Junqi found that the atmosphere in the headquarters was still very calm, Zhuang Jihua was not in the headquarters, but went to a nearby village to watch the game, which made him breathe a little relieved, and hurriedly went to see the chief of staff Xu Zuyi
"Commander Hong, you have finally arrived, the commander has asked several times."
Xu Zuyi's first sentence made Hong Junqi a little nervous, it is said that Hong Junqi and Zhuang Jihua now belong to different systems, although Zhuang Jihua is the commander of the theater, but Hong Junqi is the commander of the logistics department, according to the position should be a little higher, but as soon as Zhuang Jihua got angry, Hong Junqi was a little nervous.
"Is Chief of Staff Xu because of the oil?" Hong Junqi stared at Xu Zuyi and asked. Xu Zuyi nodded and turned around and walked into the house: "Come in and talk." β
As he spoke, he led the way to the house, and said as he walked: "Qiu Qingquan complained about the lack of oil, and the Cultural Revolution sent people to investigate, Qiu Qingquan was right, the oil is insufficient, and the reserve of diesel fuel is only more than 400 tons, at least 2,000 tons." β
Hong Junqi's head suddenly became bigger, even if Yangon's stock is added, it is still half of it, and he smiled bitterly: "Senza, I can't help it, if I want 2,000 tons, I can only wait for the American fleet in five days." β
Xu Zuyi pulled away and let Hong Junqi in, this room is Xu Zuyi's office, his office and the combat department are combined, several officers in the room are busy, Hong Junqi only knows Gao Songyuan and He Wei among them.
"The commander decided to launch an attack on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, counting the days, there are still ten days, so within ten days, you must prepare two thousand tons of oil."
Hong Junqi was stupid at once, in ten days, he had to send 1,600 tons of diesel fuel to the front line, and only the warehouse in Yangon had more than 700 tons, and where to find the rest of the diesel? How do I send it if I find it?
