Although they are infantry divisions, these divisions are equipped with an astonishing number of tractors.

Although the tractor is slow, the load weight is not as heavy as that of the truck.

What makes it better is that it has low road requirements!

Russia is a hellish place. It snows non-stop in winter and can freeze to death in broad daylight.

But in spring, the ground will become soft due to thaw.

In many places, snow and water seep in so much that you can even get mud when you step on it.

The road conditions were not good to begin with, but now it is impossible for trucks to be used on the front lines.

Poor infrastructure seriously hindered the operations of the First Expeditionary Force.

Fortunately, the Ming army's main transportation force now is tractors, which has alleviated the inconvenience caused by the thawing of the land to a certain extent.

"This damn road in Russia really makes my head hurt." Li Xiao was sitting in an armored vehicle.

Even though it was a tracked vehicle, it got stuck in mud twice along the way.

“There’s no way, Russia is just like this place.

Tracked vehicles are fine, but trucks are even worse.

There are many places where you can’t get out if you get stuck in them.”

Mr. Ao rubbed his head. There was a bump on the road just now, and Mr. Ao's head hit the wall of the armored vehicle.

“The infrastructure is too poor and we don’t have a good solution now.

But tractors are pretty good things. Look, Commander, there are tractors going up and down this road.

This thing is sturdy and durable. Although it can't pull as much weight as a truck, it's easy to use and won't get stuck in the mud.

Even if you get stuck, you can still get out."

Cao Bianjiao pointed to a large group of tractors outside and said with great satisfaction.

Li Xiao gave this guy a big roll of his eyes!

The motorized troops that I worked so hard to build with confidence are now turned into tractors by this damn road.

"I'll talk to the repair center later. They'll build roads later. The entire engineering division will be responsible for building roads and bridges."

Li Xiao glanced at the muddy land and didn't have much confidence.

After all, building bridges and roads takes time and requires a lot of investment.

First, the armored forces move quickly and are not allowed so much time.

Second, this place belongs to Russia, and there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to build bridges and roads for the Russians.

Many places in the Ming Dynasty still do not have hard roads.

"It's better to deploy more airships. Your fuel and other supplies will be transported by airships first.

But the prerequisite is that you must clear the anti-aircraft fire on the ground.

Moreover, the airship can only go up to twenty kilometers behind the battle lines.

We still have to rely on tractors for the rest of the journey."

Li Xiao looked helplessly at the long queue of tractors. No wonder everyone said that the tractors were the Ming Dynasty's army horses.

"Commander, you said that we have so many good things, but the logistics are so bad.

Wouldn't it be even worse on the coalition side?

There are more than two million of them. Such a huge force requires me to have more supplies than a mountain every day.

The consumption in peacetime is already unmanageable, and the consumption in wartime is so huge, how can they replenish it?

The ammunition alone could kill them."

Zu Kuan didn't speak for a long time, but when he spoke he got to the point.

Li Xiao glanced at Zu Kuan approvingly: "First of all, the Prussians and Nordic people have been hoarding supplies all winter.

The hoarding during this period left them with sufficient supplies.

Secondly, although the roads are not very good, the railway facilities in Smolensk are still good.

The Smolensk railway has been connected with the Minsk railway.

Supplies from Poland and Prussia can be transported to the front line by railway, wagon by wagon.

As for the last twenty kilometers, they could only rely on manpower and livestock.

Speaking of which, their logistics are even more difficult than ours."

"They also have airships, and you can always hear the "buzz" and "buzz" of the airship at night.

Those people in the Air Force know how to brag.

What made a night fighter? Let’s get one to see.

Their airships are now very big, and they seem to be burning oil.

Brother Xiao!

Didn't it mean that the fuel was so stuck that the coalition forces couldn't get fuel?

Why do airships in the sky look like fucking mosquitoes?" Mr. Ao got out of the armored vehicle and complained to Li Xiao dissatisfied.

“The Prussians developed the technology of coalification, which is to extract oil from coal.

Although this thing is not as good as diesel, and the loss is relatively large.

But, it's much better than using them without oil.

As for the night fighters...!

No way, it really can't be done now.

Just wait and see!”

Regarding night fighters, Li Xiao was also helpless.

After all, radio technology is not yet mature.

That big thing can only be mounted on a warship, not an airplane.

When flying at night, what I fear most is actually getting lost and landing at night.

The only solution to these two difficulties is radio.

“In fact, you don’t need a plane!

We sent out a reconnaissance team to bypass the local front lines and find the location of the storage points and airship landing sites.

Then pull the rocket launcher to the front and hit the front line.

At night, nothing was left after a bombardment.

Our division organized people to do it twice. According to the prisoners captured by the reconnaissance team, three airships were blown up alone.

I don’t know how much supplies were exploded!”

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Zu Kuan with some pride. His capable subordinates gave him reason to be proud.

Zu Kuan didn't speak, he just looked into the distance with his telescope, not knowing what he was looking at.

"We should do less of this kind of action in the future.

Scouts are treasures and cannot be wasted like this.

You succeeded twice, but how many men did you lose?"

Li Xiao's words made Cao Bianjiao's face look a little ugly!

Indeed, these several reconnaissance raids successfully eliminated two airship landing sites and ammunition accumulation points.

But the Ming Dynasty also lost more than a dozen outstanding warriors.

Although the losses seemed a bit insignificant compared to the results.

However, Cao Bianjiao still felt a little ashamed of the dead warrior.

"In another half month, the roads will be even muddier than now.

I think this should be the day they launch their attack.

They would think that the mud would trap our tanks."

"Then let them come, I'm so idle right now.

Last month in Vyazma, hundreds of thousands of Prussians were killed.

If they dare to come again this time, I have to give them at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, otherwise there will be too few enemies and not enough food."

Ao Ye Niubi patted his huge belly coaxingly!

Li Xiao glanced helplessly at this arrogant old partner.
