My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 376 Arrival
What is most needed on the battlefield?advanced weapons?Enough intelligence support?Indomitable spirit?Wise commander?In fact, these are not the most important. The most important thing in combat is the logistics supply capability.

As the saying goes, food and grass go first before soldiers and horses are moved, which fully demonstrates the importance of logistical supply capabilities for an army.

Powerful weapons are indeed extremely important in modern warfare, but without supplies, these are a pile of scrap iron.

Troop replenishment, fuel replenishment, ammunition replenishment, clothing replenishment and replacement, food supply, equipment loss replenishment, equipment damage, etc., are all extremely important logistical keys, once one of the links goes wrong, it will bring difficulties to the entire combat operation. estimated impact.

And many people may say that the logistics of the volunteer army in the Korean War was very poor, didn't they win?But you must know that the supply situation of the Volunteers is really bad. Many people just took a bite of fried noodles to fight the next battle.

At that time, many soldiers of the Volunteer Army suffered from night blindness due to malnutrition. During many night raids, they were blinded and rushed to the enemy to fight.

Limited by supply capacity, division-level offensives often last only a week, and then they have to withdraw their troops. They miss too many opportunities to annihilate the enemy, and are nicknamed "Saturday Offensive" by the enemy.

Moreover, the winter clothes could not be transported to the front line quickly, resulting in a large number of non-combat attrition. The ice sculpture company was only a drop in Taicang, and countless volunteers died of frostbite.

If it weren't for these problems, how could the People's Volunteer Army, which claims to have reached the pinnacle of willpower in the world, only drive the Yankees to the [-]th parallel?

Not to mention weapons and equipment, if they can have one-third of the logistics capabilities of the US military, they can definitely drive these white-skinned ghosts into the Yellow Sea to feed the fish.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Liao Mingyu spared no effort to develop the logistics supply force, and even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build two large logistics warehouses in Wanding and Nankan.

The supplies sent from the country are stored here, and then two transport regiments are transported to the front line along the road around the clock. This can only barely meet the normal needs of each army. The division's logistics must be finished.

So Liao Dashen, who was very angry, immediately sent a telegram, asked carefully about the specific battle process, and severely criticized such behavior.

But Chen Jize's reply said: If you feel sorry for the ammunition, then Jize can only carry forward the traditional spirit of the three regiments and the interspersed tactics of the first regiment, relying on bravery and willpower to fight against the enemy, but at that time, don't blame me I am responsible for the excessive damage caused by the battle...

These few words made Liao Mingyu completely lose his temper.

This is how wars are supposed to be. You must know that throughout World War II, at least [-] bullets are needed to kill a soldier, and this is still relatively small.

If you want to have fewer casualties, apart from the advantages and disadvantages of tactics, you only have to be willing to "spend money". If you are poor, you will intersperse tactics, and if you are rich, you will have full firepower. This sentence is really not just talk.

Extravagance is not enough, frugality is not ugly, it is not advisable to trade human life for victory, but you must also pay attention to frugality... Liao Mingyu, who has been thinking for a long time and still can't figure it out, can only write this in his reply, which can be regarded as a compromise.

It's just that this is destined to suffer for some people...

"What's the matter, this is it, you want to give it away again? Haven't finished asking for it?"

When Kang Ya received another order to go to Bhamo to deliver supplies, she felt as if there were ten thousand muddy horses galloping in her heart, and she had to work again as soon as she came back.

The soldiers transporting a regiment couldn't help but start cursing their mothers. This is too uneconomical. Yesterday, it took a lot of effort to complete the transportation of dozens of tons of supplies and the artillery of the artillery regiment. I didn't expect to start moving forward again in a day The thread is upside down.

Liao Mingyu was also very helpless, so he had to send the remaining ammunition in the Nankan warehouse to Chen Jize, and then exchanged [-] points of ammunition and necessary supplies from the system to ensure that the combat efficiency of the troops would not be affected in the future.

Finally, I contacted Smith with a shy face and asked him to help deliver the supplies. After all, part of the logistics channels for the system is also in his hands.

This time, Nankan was completely hollowed out, so that if Lashio needed supplies now, Liao Mingyu would not be able to produce anything, so he could only pin his hopes on the rear and send the supplies as soon as possible.

After learning that Liao Mingyu and the others had achieved a major victory in Bhamo, Smith was not only surprised but also filled with joy.

The offensive efficiency of the third division is still as high as ever. Ba Mo can go straight to Myitkyina along the India-Myanmar Highway, and the Japanese army has almost no defense lines in the middle.

If you win Myitkyina and join forces with the Indian Army, then the task of opening up the Sino-Indian Highway will be completed. At that time, the international aid line can pass through the Indian port to Burma and finally enter China. You don’t have to take that death route anymore. It can be considered complete and you can return home safely.

Thinking of this, Smith was very excited, and immediately said that the logistics problem is not big, as long as the goods are available, they will be delivered to him as soon as possible.

At present, regardless of whether it is from the hump line or domestically, the first stop for the materials sent to western Yunnan is Kunming, and then the logistics troops in the Kunming camp will distribute them to the front-line troops. However, due to the rugged roads and troop coordination problems, the efficiency is very low. Sometimes a batch of supplies may not be delivered to the front line even if it arrives in Kunming for a week.

Now Chennault has agreed to the assistance plan, not only willing to provide flight crew and ground crew, but also expressing that he can provide transport planes to transport the materials needed by the Third Division directly to Nankan by air, which not only saves a lot of time but also reduces the loss on the way.

……

"So you are here to help me in combat?"

In the Air Command Department of Nankan Airport, Liao Mingyu was looking curiously at the six pilots in front of him, especially the leader with the brown beard.

Strong and tall figure, blue eyes, high nose bridge and deep sunken eye sockets, an arrogant and fierce face, if you stand close, you can smell a faint smell of alcohol. Humans are definitely idiots.

Early this morning, the group flew six F4U fighter planes to Nankan, along with two transport planes carrying some equipment, more than [-] ground crew members, and the old man Smith.

"Yes Commander...Southeast Asia Theater...Aviation Volunteer Corps we are..."

The bearded man struggled to express their identities, but his broken Chinese sounded like a tormentor.

At the right time, Smith handed in a document report, which recorded the names, identities and affiliations of these people.

This aviation volunteer team is a bit strange. They all come from different countries, and the units they belong to are also very vague. Could it be a product of the system?

"советскийчеловек?" (Su Guo people)" Liao Mingyu asked tentatively.

Andrei's body was visibly shocked, and he replied in surprise: "God, Commander, can you speak Russian?"

"Um, not very good, just a little bit." Liao Mingyu smiled and continued: "You don't need to speak Chinese, we can communicate in English."

"Oh... that would be great."

Andre breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in Chinese was a bit difficult for this tall bear.Hearing this, he was relieved, and then he cheered up and continued, "My name is Andre Oleg, but I'm not from the Soviet Union, but from Ukrainian!"

Ok?
Andre's English is fluent, and Meng Fanlai, who was next to him, could hear it clearly, and immediately asked a question: "That...doesn't Uklan belong to the Soviet Union?"

"No! Wukelan is Wukelan, Su State is Su State, please don't confuse us, those people are just a bunch of barbaric robbers!"

Unexpectedly, Andre was extremely angry and determined about this question, and retorted sternly.

Liao Mingyu was relieved to see his reaction like this, because in history, Wu Kelan was persecuted by the Su State not lightly.

The Uklan people have always regarded the Su people as distant relatives who are poor, barbaric, and they can't beat them.The white goblin in Su not only wanted to eat and drink without giving them money, but also treated them as lowly and inferior people. It would not be too much to say that these two peoples of the same clan but different genus are feuds.

Forget about Bai Piao, and control and exploit them with various reasons. The Ukrainian famine in the past is the best proof.

"Su people are indeed not good people, but Andre, let's talk about this issue later."

Liao Mingyu changed the topic casually, walked forward and stretched out his hand: "You are welcome anyway, and I will arrange someone to guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment later."

"Eh? By the way, where are Jamie and the others?"

"It's outside, I can't move around those planes." Meng pouted out the window annoyed and said with a smile.

Sure enough...Jamie and Wesker are gathering around those F4Us to comment. For pilots, there is nothing more attractive than advanced fighters.

Liao Mingyu shook his head and turned to look at Smith: "My old colonel, what good things did you bring me this time?"
