Chapter 490: Autumn Harvest and Winter Collection 48
"Next, please tell us about our current military reserves!" Li Qinglin changed the topic.
"Ahem!" The military chief Luo Dafu finally stood up. He cleared his throat and began to speak.
Originally, it was not the turn of the military chief director to speak at the military meeting. Usually, the matters about military chief are discussed at the daily meeting of the headquarters. However, Luo Dafu's speech was arranged before the meeting of Li Qinglin, so there was nothing to say.
Arrangement of Luo Dafu to speak at the military meeting of all officers is also the method of Li Qinglin's current méiyou. "Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster! The Ninth Detachment looks strong and everything seems to be good, but according to Li Qinglin's perspective, the Ninth Detachment will encounter big problems, especially in terms of food and ammunition.
Luo Dafu's speech was quite long and long, and the most important part was hard numbers, such as how many people are now, how many mules and horses, how many guns, how many bullets are in stock, how many grains, how many military clothing, etc.
The logistics and supply matters are very complicated and trivial. The numbers listed by Luo Dafu are even more boring. These are not attractive to the officers who have led troops to fight for many years. Some people become a little drowsy when they listen.
After Luo Dafu's report was finished, Li Qinglin knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, do you want to go to bed? Do you think Director Luo's affairs are not as good as you?"
Li Qinglin looked around and saw that everyone was playing, Li Qinglin raised his tone and said, "Don't look at these data, it seems that they can't be used up. In fact, these things only support our Ninth Detachment in less than three months."
Next, Li Qinglin listed the results calculated by Ziji one by one, which are the food, ammunition, military uniforms, mules, horses, and other things that the troops consume every month. Li Qinglin strengthened his tone in terms of weapons and ammunition. Because the ammunition situation is the least optimistic. Li Qinglin's algorithm is still calculated based on only one small battle in the next three months. In addition to the amount consumed by normal training, the current backup bullets and shells of the Ninth Detachment are obviously not enough.
"Don't think that military supplies are like you, what is the war? What is the manpower and material resources! Let me talk about it, that is, it is the battle of high-quality soldiers and enough weapons and equipment! There are many people in China. But the quality of soldiers is not as good as that of the Japanese. This is what everyone has to do!"
Li Qinglin said this and looked around for another week. Everyone had fought with the Japanese. There was a gap between the soldiers and the Japanese soldiers, so everyone was silent. Li Qinglin continued: "Now there is a problem with our logistics supply ruguo, and the consequences will be very serious."
Li Qinglin knocked on the table and said, "I just noticed that many people who were presenting Director Luo were drowsy. It seems that Director Luo was talking about trivial matters. But is this really a trivial matter? Director Liang, tell me the supply we received recently from the rear."
"Yeah, yeah!" Liang Xixian hadn't gotten much chance to speak. This time he was named by Li Qinglin. He quickly cleared his throat and began to introduce the current situation of the national war of resistance and the situation where the Ninth Detachment received supplies from the rear.
Since the Japanese launched repeated offensives this summer, the National Revolutionary Army, which was fighting against Japan on the front battlefield, was defeated by the enemy. The situation in the western battlefield was still good, but it was very limited. However, Hu Zongnan was confronting the Japanese army based on the Yellow River, and could not provide supplies to guerrilla troops entering the war zone at all. On the southern battlefield, the Military Commission concentrated some of the only main troops at hand to fight against the invaders in Changsha. Due to the resolute resistance of the Chinese team, the main force of the Japanese army was temporarily blocked. Although the Changsha Battle dragged the enemy, a large amount of living forces were sacrificed in China and consumed a lot of valuable resources. At present, the Military Commission is organizing the third Changsha Battle, and the supplies there are seriously insufficient, so the guerrilla troops entering the war zone like the Ninth Detachment have basically cut off supplies.
"...Since the last time the First War Zone sent some tyrants and ammunition, due to the difficulties of the journey and the difficulties in the rear, now, I have obtained a bullet and a grain of food for half a year. It can be said that if ruguo does not receive some supplements in time, we cannot even guarantee the ammunition for a small large-scale battle at one time." Liang Xixian finally ended his speech.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese team and the Japanese soldiers had a good tradition of cherishing weapons, which was even more obvious in the Eighth Route Army where weapons were extremely scarce. In the military diary of the Japanese invaders, there was a sentence that "every bullet was given by a locust, more precious than gold." In fact, the real reason was that the small Japanese countries were extremely scarce, and the Japanese soldiers had long developed the habit of cherishing weapons and bullets. These Japanese soldiers were old Japanese who entered China in the early days, usually would never shoot easily before they aimed. Many Japanese even had to do one thing before they were defeated and were about to die, that is, destroying the weapons in Ziji's hands.
On the side of the National Army, because the soldiers lack military training and combat qualities, they often shoot when they see the shadow of the Japanese. The Japanese are still outside the range of the rifle, and the bullets cannot hit the Japanese at all. Are they shooting for the soldiers so early? In fact, they are just raising their courage and using huge sounds to boost their courage. Therefore, the National Army often consumes extremely huge ammunition, and the results of the battle are often very small.
Everyone is the one who leads the troops. Ziji's soldiers are very good at what they have. Once the troops are short of food and bullets, they will happen. These people know it well.
At present, most of the people in the team were arrested and strong men came. Many people were not willing to join the army. Although national justice supported their beliefs, you let these people fight with the Japanese soldiers armed to their teeth with bare hands. Li Qinglin and méiyou have the ability.
"The situation has been explained. Everyone starts to think about it carefully. What should we do next?" Li Qinglin glanced at the venue and spoke.
As soon as Li Qinglin finished speaking, Xiao Liuzi stood up: "Didn't we just helped Sun Damazi fight? I won't talk about the cost of sending troops. He should recognize the ammunition consumption of our troops, right?"
The big man said, "Yes! If we hadn't come forward to help them last time, now Sun Damazi might have been driven to run around the mountains by the Japanese. We must get this ammunition consumption back, and the amount cannot be short!"
"Well! It should be taken back." Li Qinglin nodded and said, "Our people have come to Sun Damazi and are negotiating with them about replenishing ammunition. However, the news sent back from there is not very good. Sun Damazi is very stingy and has been bargaining with our people. It seems that even if they can release some ammunition this time, the quantity will be limited."
"Or we should pay for some of the arms dealers?" someone stood up and suggested.
"This is also a solution." Li Qinglin said: "Buying ammunition requires some smuggling dealers to trade for a long distance. However, the Japanese have been blocked very tightly recently. Even if some arms can flow into our side, it is a drop in the bucket compared to our team of thousands of people. In addition, the prices of guns and ammunition on the market are expensive now, so where can this huge amount of funds be implemented?"
"Or we take the initiative to attack and fight the Japanese once. Ruguo We won the battle and captured the Japanese strongholds. Didn't there be some seizures?" someone suggested.
Liang Xixian disagreed and said, "This is also a solution. Ruguo can fight when conditions are mature. However, at present, there are some strongholds with us, and the current main force of the Japanese are placed behind. Not to mention how much sacrifice it takes for us to attack these solid fortifications, these strongholds themselves do not have much force. In addition, they must be shooting guns and cannons regardless of consumption in the guog. Even if we finally capture the stronghold, we will not be able to add much ammunition."
"This is not possible, that is not possible, so how can it work?" someone murmured below.
Although the muttering sound was not loud, Li Qinglin heard it: "How can I do it? I think these are all OK. Tèbié is better for seizures. What about shime? This is mainly based on the following benefits."
Li Qinglin continued: "The Japanese were newly defeated, and their most elite combat forces were not in the region, so we still have a certain advantage in fighting with the Japanese garrison troops; in addition, we have not fought many wars recently, and the recruits who were later added have not been on the battlefield, so some small-scale battles are very beneficial for the growth of these recruits; thirdly, we usually conduct live-fire training to consume bullets. Instead of consuming them on the training ground, it is more practical to hit the Japanese."
In fact, Li Qinglin's third reason is very far-fetched. If a recruit wants to become a qualified soldier, he must undergo rigorous training. Live ammunition shooting is part of the strict training. Ruguo putting a recruit who has not fired a few shots on the battlefield is actually the difference between other troops treating new men as cannon fodder and how big a difference is.
However, this is in the army of the National Army. The strong men seem to be able to be replenished continuously, but weapons are very scarce. Therefore, in the eyes of the superiors, guns and ammunition are much more precious than soldiers. Currently, there are more officers doing such things, so Li Qinglin's statement has been recognized by almost all officers.
Liang Xixian had a different opinion: "It is good to have a victory after winning the battle. If méiyou defeated the Japanese stronghold, wouldn't we lose money? The Japanese seem to have retreated at the moment, but their mobility is much stronger than ours. If we capture the Japanese stronghold for a while and the Japanese reinforcements arrive again, wouldn't we still want to withdraw our troops? Ruguo Our troops cannot get rid of the Japanese reinforcements for a while, and our battle has become a war of attrition. Wouldn't that be worse? I think we should not consider the matter of fighting the Japanese stronghold for a while, and we should think of ways in other aspects now."
After hearing what Liang Xixian said, Li Gousheng stopped doing: "How can there be a reason to win every battle? Guan Gong and Shihou who traveled to Maicheng. Since it is a war, you can't be afraid of defeat! If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, then you can still fight a fart. Wouldn't it be better to surrender directly to the devils?" (To be continued.)
