Looking at the empty room, Chen Shao shook his head, sighed, and muttered: "It's okay to go out for a walk." ”

Since Xie Yuxin followed the condolence group of the Logistics Department to the local area and expressed condolences to the families of the casualties, Liu Feiya also followed, and even Chen Ruijun and Chen Meng also followed. Until now, when Chen Shao returned to the Forbidden City, he was a real loner. Chen Shao didn't have many other thoughts about this, as long as they could feel better after they went out, nothing else mattered.

Chen Meng wanted to follow his mother by himself, and Chen Ruijun was asked by Chen Shao to let him feel the atmosphere. However, except for Xie Yuxin, no one else has disclosed their identities.

Putting aside the discomfort of loneliness, Chen Shao came to the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense. This has become a place he must stay every day, and the time he spends here has taken up more than half of the entire day.

As soon as he stepped into the command center, Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, who had already started a day's work, walked over to him.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest itinerary report of the Queen Mother and her party." Cai Ye handed the folder in his hand to Chen Shao and spoke.

"I'll put it there for you first, and I'll look at it when I have time. Now let's talk about the current state of the war. Chen Shao shook his head and said, he really wanted to take a look at the folder in Cai Yi's hand, but now was not the time.

Cai Ye nodded and tucked the folder under his armpit. At this time, Jiang Baili replied: "After a night of the Philippine offensive, the specific battle situation has not changed much. With the exception of yesterday morning's interception and annihilation of the Allied bomber forces, the pace of progress of the Jungle Army on the ground has not changed much. Yesterday night to the early hours of this morning. The Jungle Army had taken a short break to recuperate, so there was no change in the situation of the battle as reported last night. ”

"How is the airport repair work going, and whether the logistics support can keep up." Chen Shaodao.

"The airport is already working overtime, but because there are too many potholes, it will take at least a day for Clark Airport to be used. In terms of logistics, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the logistics materials that should arrive. Arrived on time every day. ”

Said to repair the Clark Airport in the Philippines. Jiang Baili was a little speechless. At the beginning, in order to kill the Clark Air Force airfield in Japan, the entire airfield was plowed several times, and the airfield was also covered with many large pits. Just fill these big pits. It took a day for the Engineer Corps. So. The work on rehabilitating the airport is progressing slowly.

"The need for the airport is not very urgent right now, but. Nor can we slack off. Slow can be slow, but the quality of the runway must be passed, and when the time comes, there will be a Globemaster stationed on it, and the work of building the runway is the top priority. ”

Chen Shao also knows what kind of scene the land that has been bombed by dozens of Globemasters is like, or when Globemaster uses ground-penetrating bombs. It's just that what should be repaired still has to be repaired, and war is often tinkering, which is unavoidable. It's impossible to build a new military airfield! Not to mention the money and time spent, it is a big problem to find a suitable location. The Philippines is an island country with many mountains and forests, and it is not easy to find an open place.

Then Chen Shao spoke: "Now our first task at present is logistics, and this attack on the Philippines is the first large-scale island landing operation in a distant area since the establishment of our National Defense Force. Be sure to learn from your mistakes and work hard to improve. In particular, the logistical supply aspect is more important than when it landed in Taipei. My requirement is that we must do it: no shortage of food, no lack of drink, no shortage of clothing, no shortage of oil, and no shortage of ammunition. ”

There is no shortage of drink, no lack of ammunition, no lack of food, no lack of clothing, no lack of oil, it seems to be simple and dry, but only those who have experienced such work know how difficult it is to fully realize these 15 words, and how much effort it takes for all the soldiers and ordinary workers in charge of logistics. What's more, the ground combat forces (not counting the logistical and naval aspects) that have landed in the Philippines at this time have reached 100,000.

Since ancient times, logistics has been the most important part of warfare, and the art of war says: The three armies go first before they move grain and grass. It can be seen that since ancient times, the ancients have attached great importance to logistics. Today, the war has evolved, and the logistics supply has become larger, more sophisticated, and more scientific than in the days of the ancients.

From the ammunition consumed in the front battlefield, to the fuel consumed by various vehicles, as well as the various wear and tear of firearms, weapon spare parts, food, and clothing, everything needs to be carefully calculated and managed. Fine calculation management does not mean that everything needs to be transported according to the amount consumed by the front, but that various materials need to have a rough estimate and the demand for front-line applications to carry out a unified platoon for transportation. After all, this capacity is limited, and how to maximize the limited capacity is the most reasonable is the best and most economical.

First of all, the consumption of all kinds of ammunition and food must be given priority, after all, these two are the main points of consumption, and these two are absolutely indispensable things, but for those fuel, weapon accessories and so on, a certain amount of calculation and management is required, this management is not blindly transported, but also takes into account the speed of consumption on the front line.

Fuel, weapon accessories, and clothing cannot be stored at will, they must have their own special requirements for storage, and these specific storage places are the places that need to be understood and familiar by the logistics department, and even how many vehicles there are on the front line must be very clear, if there is less transportation, the lack of ration will affect the battle, and if there is too much transportation, it cannot be put into the temporary warehouse, and it is impossible to put it in the open air, exposed to the sun, rain, and frozen, and consumed in vain. It is also necessary to allocate manpower and utensils for loading. Although the emergence of various facilities such as containers and special oil tanks has greatly improved the efficiency of transportation and temporary storage, it is not easy to see how to break down these boxes of things and transport them to the places where they need to appear most.

The number of combatants dispatched for this landing operation reached 100,000. In order to arrange the food and drink of these 100,000 people, as well as the supply of combat materials, as well as the maintenance and fuel consumption of those weapons and equipment, all kinds of problems are enough to keep the logistics department busy.

And what are the consequences of abundant logistics for both sides of the war? Not to mention Japan's overstretched sea logistics, let's just say what it feels like the Chinese army is now smashing ammunition on the heads of the devils like no money, it is a hell composed of steel and chemical energy conversion!

Since the founding of the National Defense Force, logistics departments have always been the top priority, whether it is all kinds of logistics maintenance vehicles, or support and supply vehicles, some rapid mobile units are equipped with vehicle-mounted cooking equipment, water purification vehicles, oil trucks, fresh-keeping vehicles, and a series of special logistics support vehicles.

In terms of shipping, it has always been the focus of the logistics support of the National Defense Force. Ro-Ro Ships, Large Bulk Carriers, Container Carriers, Hospital Ships, Maintenance Support Ships, ,... and many other special ships, which served in the logistics department of the Wehrmacht.

Just like this time, the target of the Wehrmacht's offensive is the Philippines, and there is a port in the Philippines that can dock large ships, which makes the ro-ro ship useful, as a large-scale material loading platform, the ro-ro ship can not only be loaded with a lot of materials, but also can be loaded with heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles, and directly use the port to put into the front-line battlefield.

If there is no landing point in a large port, there is no way for the ro-ro ship to get close, which will test the ability of the logistics department to bear it even more. In the case of such a place where it is difficult to replenish, many times small ships can only be used to carry goods ashore, which to a great extent increases the difficulty of logistical supply.

If there is an airport, it is also possible to carry out large-scale airlift or airdrop supplies. It's a great way to do it. For example, the Kunpeng transport plane can carry more than 40 tons of materials at a time, which can also alleviate the shortage of materials on the front line in a short time. If there is a large airport, a transport aircraft like the Kunpeng can even transport non-combat heavy main station tanks and directly airlift them to large airports near the battlefield, so that the tanks can quickly enter the battlefield.

As the saying goes, a war is about money, and the biggest embodiment of this word money is in logistics. As a synthetic army with a higher scientific and technological content, the issue of logistical support is as important as the combat effectiveness of combat units. Because the stronger the army, the higher the logistical supply, this is an equation.

Chen Shao is very concerned about the problem of logistics supply at the moment, and yesterday morning, when the allied bomber formation went straight to the port of Manila, he was very angry. Not only did it send all the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft that cruised around the Philippine Navy, but it also sent Borneo fighter jets out of the nest. In order not to let a single bomber arrive in Manila. Once there is a voyage but it falls in the port of Manila, if it touches the place where the ammunition is piled up in the port, it will be a tragedy for both the attacking jungle army and the busy logistics personnel in the port.

Now Chen Shao doesn't feel sorry for money, but he feels sorry for people, the soldiers who died in battle, he has no way to change, but for those non-combatants, he will definitely not watch them fall into danger. Don't think that the staff of the logistics department is nothing compared to the value of the combatants. If you say so, you are wrong.

Eighty percent of the personnel in the logistics department are very proficient in mathematics and arithmetic. Each of them is a real intellectual, but it is not the cultural knowledge that some soldiers learned directly from the barracks halfway home. The people in the logistics department are all high school graduates or college graduates.

Therefore, whether it is for the combat troops or the logistics troops, Chen Shao is 100% concerned. Of course, there is also a very important point, they are the sons and daughters of all China. (To be continued.) )
