Chapter 1265: Preparing for War (5)

"Stupid, we don't want you to kill yourself!" Yang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Now, it's time to give orders to these horses and all the imperial husbands!" I don't want to rub it out anymore. ”

The horses had arrived, and Yang Mingzhi quickly planned according to the plan.

In terms of plan, there will be four horses pulling a carriage, which is the same as the preparation of the logistics of the Romanian army. The carriage will also be loaded with up to five tons of supplies, which it is fully capable of bearing thanks to the iron-ribbed structure of the carriage. In addition, the four-horsepower power can also pull the whole cabin well.

But it was not only the carriages and goods that the horses hauled, the Romanians used these carriages with hooks at the end of the carriages, and the Romanian army's 75-mm field guns were also dragged in this way.

The wagons were already overloaded and were a little overloaded with the captured 75mm guns, so the wagons were going to go out with the 45mm guns.

According to the distribution of horses and carts, the first and second echelons had a total of 125 carriages, and the amount of supplies they could carry was unprecedented in the troops.

The main force was three regiments, plus the independent Balzen reconnaissance battalion, for a total of thirteen standard battalions, and each battalion was basically divided into ten wagons.

Carriage transportation is certainly not a one-wave affair, and when the troops arrive at their intended positions, these wagons will begin to transport in a steady stream, and the final transportation of supplies will be a huge number.

Taking into account the mission mode of the first echelon, they need a large supply of materials, especially ammunition, within a day or two after the start of the operation, so that the encirclement can be stabilized in a short time. Thus these four battalions received a share of 20 wagons at once, that is, five for each battalion, and the weight of the materiel also reached a staggering twenty tons! After all, even if a soldier carries a weight of thirty kilograms, the total weight of the whole battalion is about eighteen tons. The warriors were tired and out of breath, not as much as five wagons could pull.

Yang Mingzhi didn't plan to let the soldiers throw all their loads on the wagons, which would be loaded with a huge amount of military rations—potatoes.

After arranging the task, these royal husbands and horse breeders were officially assigned to the headquarters. In this case, a large number of staff officers in the command play an important role, and they become the best executors of orders in the command.

Hundreds of carriages are still idle in the blacksmith village, and with the arrival of a large number of horses, the carriages have become a source of power. The villagers have already been mobilized, and on June 18, they began loading the potatoes. A large number of fist-sized potatoes were washed, thrown into the carriages, piled up into small hills, and finally covered with a layer of linen cloth, and tied with hemp rope to prevent the potatoes from falling, and a standard food wagon was completed, waiting for the horses to take place.

The wagons will be picked up by four battalions tomorrow, and besides, in the afternoon the so-called artillery regiment of Doronin will also be sent, and they will bring those 45-mm field guns and a large number of original shells, and place them in the wagons that day.

There are still 32 small-caliber guns that can still be used by the Luo army captured by the troops, they have axles and brackets, and they are also very light as a whole, and they can be easily pulled away by just a few horses. The number of matching shells is even larger, most of which are high-explosive shells. This field gun originally also had the ability of anti-tank guns, and apparently the Luo army also adapted measures to local conditions, and did not carry armor-piercing shells, but a large number of high-explosive shells. Ironically, these high-explosive bombs were captured before they were used.

Each carriage of the first echelon had a small cannon with 200 rounds of ammunition each, and they would be a sharp weapon for attacking the enemy defenders in Loyev from a distance. Each gun is equipped with six artillery men, and each battalion has a simplified artillery platoon, which will be directly under the command of the battalion commander.

Throughout the afternoon, the logistics part of the army worked actively. Boxes of ammunition are being pulled out of the arsenal, and potatoes are being pulled out of the granaries as military rations. The canteens of the three collective farms also never took a minute off, and the chefs were actively producing biscuit powder, as well as smoked catfish jerky.

The first echelon of operations began on the morning of June 20, and Yang Mingzhi thought that he might have to give speeches. What to say? Of course, it was some pre-war encouragement, maybe Fuming was better at this kind of thing than he was.

To make a speech, it is necessary to gather those four battalions together, and they must be actively preparing for battle, and it is indeed very inappropriate to have them urgently assemble when they are not ready.

Since they can't assemble, it's better to go directly to the grassroots level to inspect themselves.

The horses and the royal husband left, and little Volmansky and his little cavalry returned to the village of Black Earth in high spirits. There were not many important matters to stay in the headquarters, so Yang Mingzhi entrusted the work to Yevlov and Fuming.

"Huh! Always, maybe it's better for you to stay in Command. Fuming complained.

"I'd better go for a walk and take a look at the camps. As a commander, I should have gone to see it myself, and it is difficult to know the truth based on those report documents alone. ”

Yevlov nodded: "Then you can go, don't worry, I will do the job well." ”

The 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division and the Paratrooper Brigade were stationed in Blacksmith Village, and only the 1st Regiment of the 284th Division was in Catfish Village. Now that the four battalions of the first echelon had all gathered in the blacksmith village and set up camp, Yang Mingzhi went straight to their barracks to find out what was going on in the last afternoon of preparation.

They all lived in wooden barracks, even with Karavsky's troops, who had "come all the way" from the village of Catfish, because the blacksmith village had built a large number of settlements in the forest, and new houses were still being built until now.

Yang Mingzhi didn't want to make too many waves, so he changed into a black leather coat, paying special attention to covering his officer's identity card, and the medal was stored in the headquarters, and he put on his head a boat-shaped hat that only soldiers match.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose, at first glance he looks like an ordinary soldier.

Yang Mingzhi only took five guards led by Abram, and this group of six people visited the camp of four battalions. After a round of inspections, the fighters went outdoors to count their ammunition, wipe their weapons, and meticulously clean the chambers of their guns. Their work is meticulous, and a good soldier needs first of all to have a serious attitude towards weapons. The so-called weapon is the life of a soldier, and in battle, a good soldier can always reach the realm of the unity of man and gun, and they carefully maintain their weapons as if they were themselves.

These warriors were indeed elite, they were physically strong, and they could march for long periods of time with thirty kilograms of heavy equipment on their backs. Considering that Russians are genetically determined to be physically strong easily, it is not uncommon for them to have an extremely high weight-bearing capacity. The carriage will be responsible for the transportation of huge quantities of supplies, and Yang Mingzhi estimated that their battalion commander would definitely appeal to the soldiers to try to get 200 more rounds if they could get 100 more rounds; If you can stuff one more grenade, try to stuff three more.

According to the order of the command, these fighters were ordered to take more ammunition in accordance with the order, and when the order was implemented, the amount of ammunition carried by the soldiers would definitely approach its limit.

Thinking of these, Yang Mingzhi also thought of Balzen's concerns. Indeed, can the children really adapt to this group of adults who play with their lives and fight? In short, they were indeed able to carry 30 kilograms of equipment on their backs, but they were afraid that after walking a few kilometers, their bodies would collapse and collapse......
