Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2019 The task of supplying ammunition

In a group of busy soldiers, the sudden appearance of a major general definitely gave people the feeling of standing out from the crowd. It was enough to make these ordinary soldiers dizzy. Not only the soldiers, but also all the officers of the third baggage regiment, including the colonel commander, were there.

Inside, everyone felt a little unbelievable. How could a major general suddenly parachute into the logistics unit and become a deputy battalion commander at the level of major or captain? It is said that the appointment letter was signed by the division commander himself.

Not only was everyone in the third baggage regiment confused, but even the chief supervisor of the baggage force, Colonel Song Wenhai, director of the division's baggage department, was dizzy for a while. Song Wenhai naturally knew Liu Hongzhang's identity, and he was independent.

The major general commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Corps directly under the division can be said to be the number one boss of all brigade-level units in the entire independent division. Isn’t he famous?

Song Wenhai also knew that the commander's behavior was a disguised punishment for Liu Hongzhang, but putting such a great god in the baggage bag seemed too small. He also secretly asked Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Major General, but Chief of Staff Zhao

He was vague and said: "It's the division commander's wish that Brigadier Liu be transferred to your baggage department. How to arrange the work should be arranged normally!"

Having said that, with such a great master in the baggage department, he is definitely under a lot of pressure. Moreover, Chief of Staff Zhao's words also make people confused. The No. 1 and No. 2 officers of the Logistics Department, as well as the director, Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, are sitting in the east.

In India, I was doing business with the British and Americans, counting a lot of gold and silver, and was very busy.

Vice Minister Major General Zhou Yushan returned to Kunming after the Second Outer Mongolia War to take charge of the independent division's troops stationed in Indochina. He went to Kunming's rear base and had no time to take care of the baggage and no one to ask for instructions.

Therefore, when the leader of the third regiment of the baggage train came to him with a sad face to ask for advice, Song Wenhai smacked his teeth for a long time, and based on his own understanding, he said: "Don't act like a disaster is imminent, Brigadier Liu must be in our baggage train."

I won't be able to stay here for long. Maybe one day, the division commander will give me an order. He will be reinstated. Let's go to the 1st Battalion and assume the title of deputy battalion commander!"

The face of the commander of the third supply regiment was not good-looking, and the reason was very simple. He was a major general and deputy battalion commander, and he had a headache just thinking about it. Just when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Song Wenhai again, "Wait a minute! About Brigadier Liu's work.

, don’t arrange specific affairs, let alone restrict his actions. In a word, he can do whatever he wants! As long as he doesn’t do anything too outrageous!”

As a result, the dignified Brigadier Liu Da became the most laid-back Major General and Deputy Battalion Commander among all the troops in the Independent Division. However, Liu Hongzhang was a restless person. It had only been more than a day since he arrived at the Third Baggage Regiment.

He consciously performed his duties as deputy battalion commander, and it seemed that being demoted from brigade commander to deputy battalion commander did not affect his mood at all.

In fact, Liu Hongzhang is holding back a lot of energy in his heart. Until now, he is still not convinced. Why did the teacher treat him like this? Well, I, Liu Hongzhang, am not someone who can't take it up or let it go. I'm not on the front line.

The army, in the logistics force, was not the brigade commander but the deputy battalion commander, and still did a great job. However, he did not think that it was a wrong decision for him to order the troops to counterattack!

Song Wenhai, director of the baggage department, received a request from Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, to compensate for ammunition. Moreover, despite the threatening telegram, he did not dare to neglect and issued the order to the third baggage regiment, although it took an hour.

I was nervous enough, but as long as I didn't delay on the way, I could still arrive on time. I didn't want to be scolded by these brigade commanders, so when assigning the task, Song Wenhai also emphasized the urgency of the task.

The 1st Battalion of the 3rd Baggage Regiment is an automobile battalion, specifically responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to the frontline troops. There are six companies in total, four automobile companies, and two armed escort companies. Unfortunately, due to the fierce fighting on the frontline, each company has

The army's ammunition consumption was very high. An hour ago, a battalion commander led two car companies and an armed escort company to deliver ammunition to the army. There was still half of the strength of the battalion.

The commander of the third regiment of the supply chain put down Song Wenhai's phone and hesitated for a while. This mission belonged to the first battalion. The other battalions in the regiment had all gone to perform their tasks. After going around in a circle, the commander of the third regiment decided to go hard.

Go and see the Major General, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, and explain the mission face to face!

When they arrived at the first battalion station, more than 60 trucks were loaded with ammunition and ready to go. What the regiment leader couldn't understand was that one of the two trucks was loaded with more than 30 mortars.

The other vehicle is equipped with more than 40 light and heavy machine guns. All the weapons are not in the box. The gun oil and gun oil have been wiped off. The magazines are filled with bullets. Once the trigger is pulled, it can fire.

, the mortar is ready for shelling at any time.

I found a company commander and asked carefully, and then I realized that it was the order from the major general and deputy battalion commander. The soldiers didn't know why. Anyway, they just carried out the order!

The commander of the third regiment had to deal with the deputy battalion commander, major general, and hurriedly walked up to Liu Hongzhang. On the epaulette of deputy battalion commander Liu, a general star was dazzled by the bright light in front of the ammunition depot.

Time, I really don’t know how to call him. Let’s just call him Deputy Battalion Commander Liu. It’s definitely not appropriate. Let’s call him Brigade Commander Liu. His position is Deputy Battalion Commander, and it’s an order personally issued by the division commander. Besides, whoever salutes first

ah?

Fortunately, Liu Hongzhang broke the awkward situation. He took a step forward and touched his heels with the standard military salute. His loud voice was as loud as ever, "Report to the commander of the regiment, Liu Hongzhang, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, is ready.

Wait for the commander’s order and we can set off immediately!”

"This -! That -! What is that! Ah..., haha! Liu -?" The third regiment leader hurriedly returned the salute. He simply didn't know what to call him and mumbled haha ​​in his mouth.

Liu Hongzhang was cheerful and said: "Captain, I am your subordinate now, just call me my job title. If you feel uncomfortable, call me Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu Ducheng!"

The commander of the third regiment also kept his composure, but Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu was not so bold. He said seriously: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, the mission has been clearly explained on the phone, and we only have one hour."

At that time, the fourth brigade will continue to use ammunition. This operation will be under your full command!"

Liu Hongzhang said simply: "Yes, commander, the first battalion promises to complete the task of transporting ammunition to the frontline troops!" After saluting, "Everyone get in the car and set off immediately!" He shouted at the top of his voice!

Just as Liu Hongzhang was about to get into the cab of the truck, the third regiment commander pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, why are there mortars and light and heavy machine guns installed in the two vehicles? What is urgently needed on the front line is

Ammunition, not equipment!”

Liu Hongzhang looked at his immediate boss as if he were an adult and asked himself, "What is 1 + 1?" Such a simple question was absurd. He was stunned for a moment. Seeing the serious expression on the leader's face, he sighed as he humbly asked for advice.

In a simple tone, he explained simply: "The rapid consumption of ammunition proves that the battle is very fierce. Correspondingly, the damage rate of the equipment is also high! I am bringing replacement equipment to the fourth brigade!"

"After a big battle, the damage rate of equipment is not small. Without equipment, it's useless no matter how much ammunition you have!" He said seriously, "When I was in the field army, after every battle, the equipment's elimination rate was

More than ten percent, especially small-caliber light artillery such as infantry weapons and mortars, you don’t know, right?” This last sentence is full of incredible questions!

The commander of the third regiment really didn't know that after years of construction, the independent division's logistics system has formed a complete operational process, each with its own division of labor. For example, the baggage department under the Logistics Department is responsible for transporting the frontline troops according to the needs of the frontline troops.

Ammunition, equipment and supplies, and damaged equipment are the business scope of the weapons repair office and field emergency repair institute. The development of new equipment is the business of the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau and the Special Equipment Research Institute.

The third regiment commander paused and said vaguely: "As expected of the field troops, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is really an expert. Let's set off without delaying you!"

Liu Hongzhang vigorously closed the car door, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Amidst the roar of guns and cannons, the motorcade drove into the vast night.

From Liu Hongzhang's heart, he really didn't want to deliver ammunition to Chu Ziye's fourth brigade. Why? What should he say when he saw Chu Ziye's face? Just the big man Chu's foul mouth.

Knowing that he is now the deputy battalion commander, or the deputy battalion commander of the logistics force, what kind of unpleasant sarcastic words may be waiting for him?

But this was an order, and the first battalion did not need other commanders to lead the team. Liu Hongzhang knew that the frontline troops were short of ammunition, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the convoy up. He had already made a secret plan in his heart.

, and said, "Because it will take some time for the ammunition truck from the baggage department to arrive. I received the order from the division commander and dug out so many from the few households in the first brigade."

"This is all for the sake of our old comrades. Otherwise, if we don't even have this little ammunition, then the army's ammunition won't be tight for such a large-scale battle? No matter what happens, let the big man Chu owe a favor first!"

"

At this time, the battlefield has become a mess. The area outside Minusinsk, with a radius of more than three to four hundred kilometers, is full of scenes of fierce fighting, especially between the 7th Brigade, the 8th Brigade and the 6th Tank Brigade.

Brigade, the battlefield to divide, encircle and annihilate the Soviet Third Army was the most chaotic.

Although the Soviet Third Army had been beaten like a frightened bird, with more than half of the casualties, the remaining troops numbered more than 30,000, and the 7th and 8th brigades that encircled and annihilated the Soviet Army only had a total strength of 40,000.

It is obviously unrealistic to rush all the Soviet troops together to encircle and annihilate them. The only option is to surround one group and eat them while the other Soviet troops temporarily adopt the strategy of encircling without attacking.

Inevitably, there were more loopholes in the weak encirclement. The scattered Soviet troops were running around aimlessly. Where the sound of artillery and gunfire was the sparsest, they instinctively broke out in which direction.
