Beiyang 1917

()从哈尔科夫城北的火车北站》哈尔科夫河浮桥》森林大道》步兵第23旅团前线后勤基地的总里程不到30公里，但是由于道路被乌克兰步兵第3师撤退时破坏严重，勉强修复后使得道奇一吨半卡车来回一趟走完那25公里的路就要50分钟，ri本步兵第23旅团的辎重大队使用的大车是3套马车。

The so-called three-set carriage is to use three horses on a cart or sled at the same time, so it is called a three-set carriage. These three sets of carriages first appeared in Russia, and the three sets of carriages are collectively called a large carriage. "Jilin Xinzhi" records that this kind of car travels between Tieling, Kaiyuan and Fateha side gate of Songhua River, so it is also called "side car". . .

Large carriages can be divided into three types according to different loads and roads: 8 to 12 horses for heavy loads, which can be divided into three sections, one shaft horse, two "tips" each with 5 horses, and the rest are tied with side covers, which can be divided into three sections. The load is about 4000 catties.For lighter loads, 5 to 8 animals need to be harnessed, which is also a three-section harness, with 3 horses in the front, 3 horses in the middle, and a shaft horse. Adding a coat is called "outside breaking" or "outside skimming", and it can carry about 3000 catties. .All of the above are called three sets of carriages. If there are only three sets of carriages with one section of horses, the load will be about 3 to 0.8 ton.

The set of three sets of carriages is quite special, its shape is like a fan, the main horse drives in the middle, and the other two horses are on both sides, one on each side.The horse in the middle trots, and the horses on both sides gallop.In addition to the special method of the three sets of carriages, another feature is their fast speed.

The three-set carriage was the main means of transportation in Russia in the past. Not only in the cities, but also on the roads connecting various places. This kind of three-set carriage came and went, transporting goods and carrying people. It was once popular in many places. long time.On the long-distance road from Moscow to remote cities in Siberia alone, there used to be 300 post stations in the past, and 1.6 coachmen drove three sets of carriages to go east to west and rush back and forth.Since the construction of the railways, freight caravans have been replaced by railway wagons, and horse-drawn carriages have given way to passenger trains. . .

However, during the festival, taking an ancient Russian troika for a sightseeing ride is still a traditional program to experience the Russian style. Located on the passenger train.However, in some festivals, riding in an ancient Russian troika is still a traditional program that attracts tourists.When tall horses wearing colorful ribbons pull gorgeously decorated carts and race on the street with bells ringing, people will feel a special interest.This has become a kind of entertainment and pastime for people.

The supply unit of the Muto brigade governs 2 supply squadrons, each supply squadron: 562 personnel, 376 horses, and three sets of carriages add up to nearly 200 vehicles, nearly half of which are used to load and transport tents, food and other military supplies. The other half is used to load and transport weapons and ammunition.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, if the ammunition can be delivered in time, I believe that our artillery will have an overwhelming advantage in the next battle. The Ukrainian artillery suffered similar losses to ours in the previous battle. It must be because they have retreated from the battlefield now. The ammunition is exhausted, the problem is that we have now cut off the communication between the opponent and the city of Kharkov, it is impossible for the Ukrainians to obtain ammunition replenishment, even without the help of the air force, we can still defeat the opponent!"

Chinese Major Wu Keren obviously hasn't let his artillery fight enough, but the ammunition consumption in the past half an hour is really too much. I didn't expect the Ukrainian artillery to fight to the death. The so-called two armies meet and the brave wins. The artillerymen on the side can only grit their teeth and accompany them to the end. If they can provide half a base of ammunition, the Ukrainian artillery that has misfired will be completely wiped out on the ground. The first action of the remaining artillery after the ammunition is exhausted is to shift positions...

"Yoshi! I'll wait and see, Chief of Staff, please work harder on the logistics side, our cannons will roar again in an hour!" Muto squinted his eyes and thumped the Chinese artillery major in front of him, then turned his head. He told his chief of staff, Takagi.

"The 23rd Squadron of the Supplies Corps has unloaded all other materials and is going to send all three sets of carriages back to the north to transport ammunition. Your Excellency, brigade commander, I suggest that in the name of the brigade headquarters, I propose to the former enemy headquarters in the north." Request, require the division's supply unit to fully guarantee our ammunition transportation, the engineering unit is the best... it is best to find a way to build a second pontoon bridge to divert the flow, otherwise the supply of ammunition will not be able to keep up with consumption , because we don't have enough time to wait for ammunition to stock up!"

The chief of staff of the brigade, Takagi, obviously took on the task of commanding the logistics support. When the artillery battle was the most intense just now, the logistics and ammunition transportation of the Muto brigade did not stop for a minute, but the forest road is so wide, and in many places, there are only two cars side by side. It’s just a big cart. The ability to stockpile 1 base ammunition before has put a lot of pressure on the supply troops. Now, it is said that it is possible to stock up one and a half base ammunition in an hour. Whether this goal can actually be achieved is still unknown. The three battalions on the front line without exception required additional ammunition and personnel, and the consumption of mortar shells and machine gun bullets by the infantry battalion was also quite huge...

"Well...Major Li, can your armored force strike again along the main road and tear apart the positions of the opponent's three divisions? Without the support of artillery and air force...I can send you the engineering brigade I believe that the Ukrainians are also hurrying to adjust and recover at the moment, if we seize the time and don’t give each other a chance to breathe, there may be unexpected surprises!” Muto Nobuyoshi commanded The Ministry walked back and forth for a few steps, and finally cast its hopeful eyes on Li Shang, the commander of the 3rd Chinese Armored Battalion.

"Your Excellency Muto, according to the progress of the first phase of the battle, it can be confirmed that the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the three main Ukrainian divisions in front of us are much stronger than yesterday. I guess the first is that the opponent's artillery suppressed our artillery fire, and the second is the coalition forces. The air force has not been engaged in combat over the forest so far. That is to say, except for the rest of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the center, the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division on the left and the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division on the right have not yet experienced the great power of our air-ground coordination... I There is no problem for our armored forces to charge forward along the main road..."

Then Li Shang changed the subject and said bluntly, "But because the road is surrounded by dense forests, thorns, wetlands, and swamps, my armored vehicle can't leave the road to catch prisoners, even if it rushes all the way to tear the opponent in half , What do you plan to do next? The 23rd Infantry Brigade has less than 5 brigades left. Can it encircle and annihilate the opponent’s nearly 3 Ukrainian main force at the same time? According to my judgment, it can encircle a division and It's already quite a feat to eat your opponent!"
