459: The Troubles of Happiness

It took only a few hours for Cao Kun to make the decision to stop the offensive, but this decision was not just a single stop, but a set of preparations and countermeasures. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, Cao Kun hopes to temporarily shrink the front, gather the troops together as much as possible, and not give the Russians any chance to attack them, so as to obtain the supplies that the Russian army lacks, and if conditions allow, they will also send troops to attack important targets of the Russian army.

In the military aspect, the current army has basically entered the period of active defense, there is nothing to say, this is an overall strategic change, before the logistics and other problems are solved, this strategic plan will not be changed again, at the same time, the front-line troops also need time to rest, the perennial war, has long made everyone physically and mentally exhausted, in the long run, the army's casualties will continue to increase, until they can no longer bear it.

Cao Kun listed in detail the reasons why he was forced to make this change, and proposed a solution to it, hoping that the rear side would take his proposal seriously.

As for the solution, Cao Kun mainly referred to the design scheme of the tank with almost no problems in this kind of environmental terrain, so he put forward a request for the rear to try to make a tracked truck, so that although the overall speed of the truck may not be too fast, but in this weather, it can almost run wildly.

At the same time, Cao Kun also hopes to learn from the experience of the rail wrecker and study a separate wrecker for land. And what is a rail wrecker? In fact, it is an ordinary locomotive, in the front of the locomotive, a triangular sharp steel plate is installed, the overall width is about half a meter more than the width of the train itself, that is, 25 centimeters on each side, and the triangular steel plate is about one centimeter higher than the track.

Using the thrust of the locomotive, pushing the snow on the track to be forced to slide to both sides, so as to clear the snow on the track, this wrecker greatly saves the time of manual cleaning, but also improves the efficiency, more importantly, this wrecker is actually not troublesome at all, the triangle wrecker is detachable, and now the front line in order to ensure that the efficiency of railway transportation is maximized, even these wreckers have not let go.

And also urgently all the locomotives are equipped with wrecker equipment, so that no matter where the train goes, as long as there is snow on the track, they can clear the snow themselves, which is very convenient and trouble-free, and the only thing they have to do is to make a slight modification for each train.

They didn't think about copying this idea to the truck, but the effect is very unsatisfactory, and even seriously affects the original transportation speed, firstly, the land route is not as smooth as the railway, secondly, the train wheels and the rails for a long time friction, the wheels themselves have temperature, and this temperature is not low, after the snow is reduced, the wheels of the train can easily melt the snow into water, without snow, then the grip is there, plus the rails are relatively stable, It's impossible not to run.

But the truck is not good, even if a large amount of snow is cleared, but the snow on the ground can never be cleared, the tires always have to be in close contact with the ground, then the problem comes, even if the snow in front is cleared, the truck behind should be skidding or skidding, it will not play any role at all, and as the truck passes more and more, the skid will become more and more serious.

What Cao Kun didn't expect was that his report had just been sent, and in less than ten minutes, he received a reply from Zhongjing, which was only one word, accurate.

And when he received this telegram, Cao Kun was also scared out of a cold sweat, and he replied so quickly, so it can only mean one thing, Zhongjing has already made this kind of preparation, but I don't know why I didn't notify the troops, but Cai Yi woke up Cao Kun with a word, which made Cao Kun secretly relieved.

After receiving Zhongjing's reply, Cao Kun immediately ordered the troops to gather nearby, at least in regimental units, and then find a suitable place to spend the winter, and as close as possible to the railway line, convenient for supplies, and if it is really far from the railway line, at least the brigade should be used as a unit.

Cao Kun's order was a little cautious, but it also completely made the Russian army lose the possibility of taking advantage of the fire to loot in winter, and now the Russian army was finally able to take a good breath.

But at this time, the Russian army has basically lost the possibility of counterattack, because after the loss of Novosibirsk, they lost a large amount of materials at the same time, and the materials transported from the rear could not be delivered for a while and a half, and the railway was constantly destroyed, according to this progress, at least before the end of this winter, they will not have the ability to counterattack on a large scale.

He took into account the impact of winter on the troops, and also fully took into account the lessons of Napoleon and Germany's two failed attacks on Russia in history, but after thousands of calculations, Wang Sirui still undercalculated a little, that is, the transportation capacity of winter trucks.

In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, as long as it is prepared in advance, not to mention too long, it only takes half a year, if Wang Sirui remembered this matter half a year ago and began to prepare, then there will be no impact at all now, and even they can use this winter to occupy the armistice area previously demarcated by Wang Sirui.

But there was no way, until the end of October, the first snow fell in Russia, and the baggage troops had a serious shortage of transportation capacity when reported to Zhongjing, Wang Sirui remembered this matter, and at that time, Wang Sirui spent a month to build a factory, until half a month ago just built, the current workers are still in the process of training, and the production capacity can not be fully released.

Well, to solve this problem only need to take two steps on it, on the existing truck, a slight modification, is to install the adjustable push bucket on the truck, the formation of a combination of truck and forklift on the line, although the current technology can not do hydraulic rod control, but is to use manpower to adjust, the effect will not be bad, at most it is a little effort.

This device can remove thick snow and will not affect the passage of trucks, while the other thing is relatively simple, which does not require any high technology content at all, but can solve the problem of truck skidding, that is, snow chains.

Wang Sirui of rubber has not considered it at all, mainly because there are not many domestic rubber stores at present, so Wang Sirui chose iron, using iron to make snow chains, as long as the soldiers themselves do not die playing extreme drift on the snow, there is no problem with normal use.

The bucket is good to make, and it is possible to directly produce a set of molds, which is so simple that it can not be simpler, and now the factory is producing at a rate of 30 sets per day without hurry, although the output is not high, but it is enough to use it over the years.

The current production capacity of snow chains is very low, mainly because workers and managers are not familiar with this aspect, and it will take some time to fully release the production capacity.

The situation on the Russian battlefield was so stabilized, the Chinese Empire took the initiative to stop the offensive, and the Russian army was in a stalemate because of the lack of supplies, and the Chinese Empire shrank into a ball to supply the Russian army with any chance, so the Russian army did not have the ability to counterattack, and the situation was so deadlocked.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the battlefield situation in Russia was temporarily stalemate, and I don't know who actually broke the news that Germany was secretly expanding its army, which can be regarded as a hornet's nest, which had successfully shifted the attention of the great powers to the Far East, and now turned their attention back to Europe.

After all, Europe is their base camp, and the Germans are secretly expanding their troops in Europe, for what purpose? Do you still need to think about this?

The international situation can be described as changing, the day before there was a lively discussion of the situation in the Far East, but the next day it suddenly returned to Europe, which caught people off guard. Although the Germans were given a few months of precious time, because the plan was leaked in advance, it caused panic in European countries, and the most direct thing is that European countries also followed up and began to expand their armaments, on the one hand, to discuss with Germany, if Germany can stop this crazy plan, then it will be perfect.

As the year approached, the troops in Russia received the first batch of dual-purpose trucks and a large number of snow chains that were urgently produced, and with this simple device, the truck's ability to pass on the snow was greatly enhanced, although there were occasional slips, but this was still very rare, and the troops would not be without countermeasures.

Every time a task is carried out, two dual-purpose vehicles will always be arranged in front of the convoy to open the road, and these two dual-purpose vehicles do not carry any supplies, that is, empty vehicles run along, once the convoy is difficult to pass, they will go up to help.

After nearly three months of stagnation, the transportation capacity of the front-line baggage troops finally began to recover slowly, although it was not up to the previous situation, but at least it could ensure that the troops would not lack any supplies.

At this time, Cao Kun, who had solved the problem, fell into happy troubles, the baggage of the troops was no problem, and even the stations of various units had hoarded a large number of supplies, and the trucks were equipped with snow chains, which could also ensure that the supplies could be delivered to the combat troops at any time.

It stands to reason that he should directly launch a large-scale battle plan at this time, but at this time, it is almost the end of the year, and these soldiers who are staying on the front line are already homesick at this time, and if they are allowed to fight again, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate.
