Chapter 214: The Tiger Enters the Flock

One. In the night, the million-strong British and American troops on the Iranian battlefield were wrapped in dumplings, and on the other side of Siberia, millions of Russian troops also faced a sudden attack by the Red Guard.

In fact, at the time of the counteroffensive of the Red Guard, it was the Russian Army that was actively preparing for the fourth campaign.

Iran's Anglo-American coalition also has plans to launch a large-scale campaign in the near future, and 500 water tanks are in preparation for the next major campaign.

And the Russians, although not equipped with water tanks, were armed with a large number of another tank from France.

Whether it was a tank for the British, or a tank for the French, it was highly classified.

Although the French did not participate in the war, they always paid close attention to the battlefield and sent a large number of officers into the Russian army to study.

Britain, Russia, and the United States are committed to inviting Italy and France to participate in the war, and although the French have not agreed to enter the war, domestic industry is already producing weapons and equipment for Britain and Russia.

After the French learned of the British water tank development plan, according to the situation on the battlefield, the French also developed a tank with a similar effect according to the demand, which is the Renault light tank in the history of the French.

This tank has a large number of characteristics of various tanks in later generations, and is the ancestor of tanks in history.

And France at this time, according to the fighting patterns of the Russians on the Siberian battlefield, developed this equipment capable of pushing through trenches and barbed wire in advance.

The war has made technology crazy, and this tank has actually been developed since the end of last year, and began to equip the French army on a large scale, while also exporting a large number of this type of tank to the Russians.

Even Britain and the United States wanted to be able to produce this tank together with the French, but France refused on the grounds that they had not yet entered the war.

But France will produce tanks for the three countries, and at the same time secretly send technicians to assist the United States and Britain in renovating the factories that produce tanks.

This shows that the French are ready to enter this war, because in front of the French, the Germans seem to be a little unable to sit still.

The biggest beneficiary was actually the Russians, and the French sent a large number of tanks to the Russians in order to quickly test the effectiveness of tanks on the Russian battlefield.

The Russians have been testing it for a year, and they have also secretly trained a large number of tank operators, and the number of tanks has increased from dozens to hundreds.

Preparations are also being made in Russia for the production of this tank, when the French will provide the engine, and the Germans will produce other tank parts and assemble the tank.

Tanks are needed everywhere, and the Russian Army, which has been secretly preparing for a year, is preparing for a few days under the preparation of the new Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces, Nikolayevich, to officially launch the fourth campaign, which will be named "Key Determination".

The key is the new equipment of tanks, and determination is to express the firm will of all Russia to regain lost territory.

However, the preparation of the Russian expeditionary force was quite a headache for Nikolayevich, the supply was chaotic, the roads were full of all kinds of piled up materials, the transport trucks, mules and horses were crowded back and forth, and the management was quite chaotic.

With the full support of Nicholas II, Nikolayevich would also abolish a large number of army bureaucrats, but this did not change the bad situation that prevailed when the great war came.

That night, the Russians did not realize at all that the enemy, who had been defending the front for almost three years, would suddenly launch a full-scale attack.

On the 100-kilometer-long transport line from Irkutsk to the front line, soldiers crowded the lines of communication with cattle and horses carrying all kinds of equipment, shells, bullets, and grenades.

And on the edge of the line of communication, you can see Renault tanks and trucks parked on the side of the road at any time, these tanks are not lying on their stomachs because of technical problems, but because the fuel supply is not timely, and there is no fuel to continue to the front line.

Some tanks have even been parked here for three days, and many trucks are lying here.

The more than one million troops preparing to attack in front need all kinds of weapons and ammunition, as well as supplies, bread, medicine, and vodka, and the scene is quite chaotic, and millions of supply personnel are congested in this area of hundreds of square kilometers.

Crowds of supply personnel waited on the side of the road, making way for livestock to go first, and people came and went, which was very lively.

This is not the first time that the Russian army has prepared such a huge offensive, and the preparations for every major battle are often so chaotic that by the time they are ready, they have often exceeded the expected time to launch an offensive by at least half a month.

This is already the norm in the Russian army.

In fact, this kind of offensive supply logistics task with a scale of more than a million troops is an eternally difficult subject.

Even in World War II in history, you need to know how much work Germany prepared before launching the blitzkrieg, which is a huge data base that can blow up a person's head, even an excellent computer can hardly support such a huge supply system.

When the rigorous Germans launched the blitzkrieg, they accurately calculated the carrying capacity of each truck, the transportation situation of each train, how much logistics transportation and how many trains needed to be gathered, and how long and how much intensity of combat needs could be met.

The whole system was also the most complex and well-structured post-supply system in the world at that time.

The reason why Germany was able to operate this system was also after ten years of study and understanding, and five years of training.

From the perspective of logistics supply, the German blitzkrieg in World War II can be called the pinnacle and peak masterpiece of logistics supply.

In Russia, which is groping, there is no systematic standardization at all, and the result of the coordinated deployment of personnel and departments in logistics is bound to be inefficient and chaotic.

On the other hand, the Red Police Corps also has a strict supply system, and for this counteroffensive, the Red Police Corps has also been preparing for a long time.

In order to meet the needs of armored forces, paratroopers, and mechanized infantry divisions to carry out large-depth, large-width cluster lightning attacks, the logistical supply plan has been prepared to meet the supply problem after the assault advance of several hundred kilometers.

A large amount of supplies will advance with the troops, the Air Force's Djinn transport planes will also be responsible for the supply of the front line, and the logistics baggage convoys of each armored division will also carry enough fuel and ammunition.

Without these preparations, the so-called blitzkrieg is just an empty word.

And these are all things that Russia does not realize, but now these are not important, because the artillery unit of the Red Guard Corps that attacked first has raised its barrels.
