186: Logistics
Boss Lu, what will happen to their later development, Deng Shifeng doesn't have much interest, the development of capital has its own laws and development process, whether it is the primitive accumulation of sheep eating people or bloody looting, it is necessary to go through the process of growth after it is born, what he can do is to do a good job in the adjustment of the overall social structure on this road, so that the bloody primitive accumulation is transferred to the outside, and take one less detour and cross some deformed development misunderstandings.
When the time came to the end of autumn of another year, the foreign military operations of the mountain villages had ended, and the land under the new rule of the southern and western fronts had basically been firmly controlled, while the mountain villages on the eastern front had only stationed five companies of army and water battalion troops to control the waterways according to the predetermined battle plan, and the farthest of them were the three companies in Yulin Prefecture, where they would control Yulin City and ensure the safety of the Shuangliu Canal dredging project.
It should be said that this year's military operations and territorial expansion have been very successful; not only have they completed the predetermined operational plan, but more importantly, they have conducted an extremely important actual combat training for the expanded troops; a large number of actual battles have put the expanded units at the beginning of this year to the test, and have also trained a number of experienced middle- and low-level commanders and a large number of non-commissioned officers; the most important thing is to provide an important logistical reference basis for future military operations through this expeditionary military operation.
In the large conference room of the barracks in the mountain village, the experience of this logistics support is being summed up here.
"According to the analysis of the data summarized from this operation, the supply of food is not the largest share of supply in our logistics support, and the fighters on the front line reacted that they are still in a state of not eating if they can not eat the improved 42-style compressed food, and in order to solve the problem of the stomach, the soldiers like to solve it on the spot, so there were three incidents of hitting large households in this operation, and there was no other reason for the fighting, which was to provide them with food."
"Although the impact of these three incidents is not great, and after investigation, it has been found that several big families do have a certain degree of hostility towards us, which is a military operation to beat rabbits and bring grass, so our staff department believes that these commanders will not be punished."
"But this incident has reminded us that in foreign military operations, as long as there are certain local residents, we can appropriately replenish them by purchasing cash on the spot, which can not only reduce the pressure on our logistical supplies, but also enrich the food sources and varieties of the soldiers."
On the podium of the conference room, a midshipman staff officer was making a summary report on the logistics of the operation, and the performance of these newly established trainee staff officers in this operation was both good and bad, and on the good side, they did help Luo Dan and the senior commanders to deal with a lot of trivial affairs, saving a lot of valuable time; The bad thing is that there is still a lack of experience, especially when I go to the front-line troops for training, I don't know enough about the bottom level of the troops, and I also make trouble about logistics supplies and shells to bullets. On the whole, however, there is still a positive attitude toward their work within the military, mistakes can be corrected, experience can be accumulated gradually, and understanding can be gradually deepened.
And his suggestion to go out to combat troops to ration cash to buy cash on the spot to solve the food problem also caused a group of underground officers to whisper, direct allocation of cash to buy on the spot This method has not been mentioned before, but considering that cash in hand is easy to cause such a thing as greed for ink, plus the previous battle is closer to the base camp in the mountain village, and the supply is more convenient and fast, so this method is finally over, but I didn't expect that today's probationary staff office is seriously proposed.
Seeing that the combat officers below were constantly discussing, Deng Shifeng coughed lightly to indicate that he was quiet, and with the teacher's town, the trainee staff officer continued:
"As for the problem of easy to cause ink greed, our staff department has discussed and understood, and after understanding with the economic and accounting departments of various units, it has been found that the main reason for ink greed is that there is no one to supervise it. How to use it? How much ...... In practice, it is easy for this series of problems to be supervised due to the special circumstances in the military. In the absence of supervision, the money can only rely on the self-restraint of the user to prevent the occurrence of greed, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the work. ”
"Especially after this actual external work, we found that the prices of grain, vegetables, and meat purchased in various places are also inconsistent, and in some areas vegetables only need a few cents a catty, while in some places it is necessary to reach the price of ten cents, and in some places it is extremely difficult to buy grain because of the low standard of living; In addition, in the procurement process of our team, because of the large demand, it is easy to cause price fluctuations, and it is easy to cause actual procurement difficulties and expensive, but it has caused people to think that the user is greedy for ink This distrust is ......"
The midshipman's words struck the hearts of the commanders of the companies and battalions participating in the meeting below, and compared with the whispered exchange just now, this time the voice was much louder; No one likes to be wronged, if you really greed for money, that's another matter, but the feeling of being regarded as greedy for ink without taking money is really unhappy and aggrieved.
"Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, our General Staff proposes to authorize the three companies in Yulim Prefecture to have a certain amount of cash, adopt the practice of mutual supervision by the commanders of each company and platoon, and regularly rotate soldiers to conduct small-scale experiments, gain experience in actual operations, and improve the supervision system......"
"One place is not enough!!" Just as the officers were about to communicate again, Deng Shifeng's voice made everyone shut up, and Deng Shifeng tapped his notebook with a pencil, which was both a reminder and a supplement, but more like an encouragement.
"Since it is an experiment from the actual operation, the characteristic of the experiment is that there must be a variety of sufficient data and basis to finalize the conclusion, and I suggest that Laibin, Bitanbao and Qingyuan Mansion should be included in the farthest garrison to carry out such an experiment at the same time!"
Seeing that Deng Shifeng spoke, the others did not have any opinions, and several senior officers wrote down Deng Shifeng's arrangement in their notebooks, and put it in place after the meeting.
"In terms of ammunition replenishment, our probationary staff office also made a mistake this time, for which I apologize to everyone on behalf of all the staff of the staff office."
"After analyzing the ammunition consumption and the scale of operations of each combat company, our staff office found that the distribution of 200 rounds of spare ammunition to the soldiers was too heavy, and in actual battles, the soldiers often consumed less than 50 rounds of ammunition in several days of fighting; Even the largest companies consumed an average of one hundred and twenty rounds; Moreover, there is an interesting proportional relationship between the consumption of ammunition and ammunition for infantry, and if the combat unit uses artillery, the consumption of shells increases and the consumption of bullets decreases proportionally...... This should be due to the fact that the artillery can directly defeat the opponent's morale and cause the team to collapse......"
After a little coaxing, there was a rare burst of laughter in the conference room, especially the artillery battalion commander Huang Shicheng, who had a bright smile on his face. The middle and senior commanders who have grown up from the soldier level are basically sitting here, and they are naturally very clear about what role artillery can play in combat, just like the trainee staff officer said, as soon as the cannon sounds, it is difficult for the opposing team, whether it is the defender or the attacking team, to withstand such a great psychological pressure and collapse, so in actual combat, these commanders will also choose whether to let the artillery go into battle depending on different opponents.
"Therefore, from the comprehensive consideration of the two largest supply material needs of ammunition and food, in the food consumption can be solved on the spot, the combat intensity is medium consumption, combined with the characteristics of the river water network in the south, as well as the number of ships and tonnage equipped by our water battalion, it can be determined that in terms of the current supply and transportation capacity, it can be guaranteed that a reinforced battalion of more than 1,000 people along the river can be guaranteed to consume foreign operations, if according to the current production rate of the shipyard and the training status of the new recruits of the water battalion, by the middle of next year, It can ensure the cross-provincial combat needs of the two reinforced battalions! ”
Different from everyone's whispered exchange just now, this time the officers below did not speak, for fear that they would miss every key word; Fight across provinces! This word is extremely sensitive to all commanders, and it means that they will go out of the mountain nest of Guangxi and go to the wider world to fight everywhere.
The trainee staff officer on the podium opened the map of the whole country on the wall, this map needless to say is also enlarged from the map of later generations, although the official roads of the Ming Dynasty are not very detailed now, but the distribution of the water network and rivers has been marked very clearly and clearly, and whether these rivers can be navigated by boats, how many tonnage ships can pass, but also through the long-term field data collection of the intelligence department to obtain more detailed information, you can estimate where you can hit through the blue rivers......
Theoretically, as long as the troops are sufficient and the supplies can be guaranteed, even if you don't need to take the sea route, you can reach the Yangtze River through the dense water network transportation in the south, and then you can directly reach Yanjing through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the longest in the world!!
Of course, the danger of inland waterway shipping is much greater than that of the sea route, not to mention that the water post checkpoints set up on each river have to be knocked out one by one, and the security of the fleet at night is also a big problem; Many rivers along the way are not wide, and the attackers can completely break through the fleet's river defense field and directly enter the inner circle of the fleet by diving, which will bring great hidden dangers and troubles to the safety of the fleet.
However, if you really want to fight, these difficulties can also be solved by strengthening the guards, it depends on the question of whether the commander-in-chief wants to fight, for this reason, everyone's eyes are on Deng Shifeng, hoping to find some answers about next year's battle from him......
