Chapter 1168 Solve Big Problems
In fact, I can’t blame these commanders for being too arrogant.
In the entire railway station supplies area, except for the bayonet battalion that arranged defense lines, more than 200 people from the military supplies department dispatched with the army participated in the inventory. But for more than an hour, they were counted until the Iron Division Commander and his command were rushed over Jiangrui Mountain and almost reached Xuehua Mountain, and they could not provide Liu Lang with an accurate number.
He only gave Liu Lang and Brigade Commander Wang and annihilated the remnants of Cen Yusheng's troops and even searched the two commanders of the 71st Regiment and the Pioneer Regiment who rushed over from the mountain, a long list of materials and approximate numbers.
Even the rich leader Rulang could not help but be shocked when he saw this batch of supplies.
It’s not that the accumulation of materials made Liu Tuhao look jealous of money, but that he was surprised at the Black Hawk Army’s logistics and supplies capacity at this time. All historical books write that the Black Hawk Army’s logistics support capacity is much stronger than that of the Kingdom Army, but compared with the old empires such as the Zhouhui Kingdom and the Dark Yuan Empire, they are just a scumbag.
However, if two infantry brigades and an artillery corps can be used to fight for a month within a week, hundreds or even thousands of tons of supplies are transported to the logistics base, the logistics support capacity is really not weak.
Moreover, in addition to spare firearms and ammunition, there are many types of supplies stored in warehouses near the railway station and in the open air.
There is no time to weigh and count grains like rice and white flour. Just count them based on the number of stacks piled in the warehouse. There are nearly one million kilograms, and there are about two hundred thousand cans. In addition to food, there are gas masks, steel helmets, military boots and various daily necessities.
During the war, the Black Hawk Army not only had the gun broken, but the ammunition was guaranteed to be sufficient, and even the food, drink and use were all available.
On the other hand, the Kingdom Army will not talk about the marginal forces like the 17th Division, nor about the alliance front troops like the 12th Division. Even the Third Army of the Central Army located on the main defense line of Guyong Peak, each soldier will only be one-third of the Black Hawk Infantry. As for what to eat, it is even worse.
It depends on the logistics supply base, which is delivered with fine rice noodles, canned beef, salt, milk candy and a certain amount of vegetables. On the side of the Kingdom Army, it would be nice to have two large steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup. Of course, if there are some oil on the vegetable soup, it would definitely be the result of today's war and the commander in a good mood.
Before the troops moved, the food and grass were taken first, and the Black Hawk Empire, who paid special attention to the details, had already done so much ahead of the kingdom in terms of logistics support.
Every time on the battlefield, the Black Hawk Army is very strong and brave and fearless. This characteristic can be cultivated by shouting "loyalty to the emperor", and that is also the inevitable result of people making logistical support very good.
It is of course too absolute to attribute morale to logistics. It is undoubtedly unquestionable to have complete logistics support and play a huge role in war.
Faced with the mountains of materials, although he had already known the obvious gap in financial resources between the two countries, Liu Lang could not help but sigh.
Among them, except for the weapons and ammunition, what makes the commanders happiest is the winter clothes and quilts in a whole warehouse.
It is already late autumn now, and in ten days and half a month, it is early winter. Even now, at night, you can feel the chill of the mountain wind only when wearing a jacket. The soldiers of the Principal Kingdom, from generals to soldiers, are still wearing thin spring and autumn jackets and military uniforms.
At this time, everyone can survive by relying on their bodies, but if it is late November, it will not be able to handle it.
In winter in the northern mountainous areas, the daily temperature is below zero. If it is at night, the cold mountain wind is like a knife, and even wearing a sheepskin coat may not be very warm.
These days, apart from worrying about the war with the Black Hawk Army, the commanders of the 12th Division most worried about the winter clothes of the officers and soldiers.
It is obviously unrealistic to make cotton coats for millions of soldiers and civilians by relying on the cotton harvested from the barren land of Yunjinzhou. The 12th Division, which sent troops to Lingpizhou, could only find a way to raise winter clothes and quilts by itself.
But the Black Hawk Army came very badly. Ling Pizhou belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Jiangning River, and the cotton picking period is basically concentrated in early August. In the cotton picking season, the Black Hawk Army came.
Due to military disasters, the harvest of cotton has been greatly reduced. Not to mention that the army of the Principal State itself is poor, even if it is rich now, it is not necessary to give every soldier a cotton coat and quilt that can withstand the cold wind before the cold winter comes.
As a result, as soon as the Black Hawk Army captured the huge logistics base, the problem that had plagued the commanders of various departments for a long time was solved.
At least 20,000 sets of cotton coats and quilts are not only one set for each person in the 12th Division, but also can support thousands of sets in the central area far away in Yunjinzhou.
Lieutenant General Wei Fengling is definitely a good person who helps him in time!
Even the Iron Commander, who rarely jokes about being known for his rigor, couldn't help but praise the opponent who was still sixty kilometers away from the 20th Division.
Not only did he praise him, he also used a bit of teasing "reputation". It can be seen that 20,000 sets of cotton coats and quilts solved a problem of how big the 12th Division was.
The wealth is touching! Even the Iron Commander is unavoidable.
