Chapter 233: Logistics

As night falls, dozens of huge bonfires are set up along the coast, illuminating the entire kilometer-long coastline. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, 47 seagoing ships also took out earthen mirror-reflective candle searchlights and aimed them at each temporary trestle.

The noise of people on the shore revealed a different kind of order.

"The trestle must be strong, this time, a large part of the boats are landlubbers, if the trestle is unstable and falls into the water, it will be held responsible."

"Over there, ship 204, your lights are too eye-catching, dim a little."

"There's not enough firewood, it's on board, get some more. It's still waiting to be used here. ”

"Stay away from the campfire, everyone has ammunition on them, don't get fried."

"Which unit are you from? 2 Squadron 7 Company? Let me see, when you get on the 297th boat, you count from the left, the 12th ship, remember to go to the side of the ship to find the cook, and get your company's dinner. ”

"Those who are injured on the road, come here, whether they have rubbed their feet or broken their feet, all come here, there are healers here."

"Go, go, there are no nurses here, all the doctors who came this time. If you want to get sick, don't blame me for having black hands, seeing sewing needles without palm length, specifically for those who want to talk to the nurse. ”

Under the bright lights, the officers and staff officers at all levels who graduated from the lecture hall assigned the soldiers to do their own things in an orderly manner.

They are already familiar with this kind of overall arrangement, as long as they are careful, there will be no problems.

Around the campfire, a group of cooks in aprons were the busiest at the moment.

The soldiers of the Xuan army walked for nearly half a day, and then marched for several hours, and their chests were already hungry against their backs.

The command, which had long been expected in the plan, drew a large number of cooks from the fleets adjacent to the navy.

Of course, it was in vain to have soldiers and no supplies, and it was too late to mobilize supplies from the port of Uiju, so the supplies stored on the ships of the nearby naval fleet were directly transferred, and part of the supplies were requisitioned from a trading fleet passing nearby.

This is not enough, while waiting for the arrival of the Xuanjun headquarters, these sea boats are still casting nets nearby to fish, in this era when fishery resources have not been severely damaged by devastating fishing, just go down the net, it is a slow harvest.

With the help of all the sailors, crew, and marines, the cooks made a meal of seafood noodles that was enough for tens of thousands of people.

Although it is something stewed in a big pot, it is better than freshness, each soldier has a big bowl of noodles and a big bowl of seafood, and if it is not enough, it can be served again. They ate on the shore, and when they were full and no one sent out a temporary collection of food, they brought fruit from a passing trading ship.

In the company, the soldiers ate in waves, and after eating, they went on board, and enough hammocks had been placed in the cargo hold of the ship to allow the soldiers to rest. They will also participate in a decisive battle the next day, and the officers and men participating in the battle must have enough mental and physical strength to cope with tomorrow's battle, so the command must ensure that the soldiers and officers participating in the battle have sufficient rest time.

While the officers and men participating in the battle are resting, the personnel of the command headquarters cannot rest yet, because the combat equipment of the soldiers is still on the way, and a decisive battle will be fought tomorrow, and the equipment of the soldiers must be re-delivered to them before going to the battlefield.

Several reserves, which would not need to go to war tomorrow, were involved in the work overnight.

The militia of more than 1,000 people assisted the trucks sent by the logistics department to pick up all the equipment discarded on the road, and then sent it to the second batch of transport ships through the rugged mountain road.

The separation of personnel and supplies is not only to ensure that the soldiers can have sufficient rest time, but also the constraints of transportation capacity are also the main reason.

There is an essential difference between transporting materials and transporting people, a ship with a load of 200 tons can load 200 tons when transporting goods, but when transporting people, enough space must be left to ensure that personnel can live, if you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the transport personnel, then the space must be larger.

It is possible to transport people and materials on a ship at the same time, but this requires careful planning and calculation, and the army does not have enough time, so it is necessary to separate them, transport people and materials, and transport materials without interfering with each other, so that the officers and men can get a full rest with the large amount of time saved.

Fortunately, most of the transportation of the second batch was supplies, so 5 ships were completely sufficient, saving a lot of trouble from logistics, transportation and other departments.

After all the personnel and materials were loaded onto the ship, as the signal lights were lit on the mast of the command ship, the ships began to raise their sails and anchors.

The improved human propeller of the Yeosu Shipyard slowly rotated, and the helper sea boat slowly sailed into the depths of the sea.

In the midst of the crash, the fleet crossed a huge arc and headed south at minimum speed.

Along the way, the reconnaissance squads scattered in the wilderness had been notified and lit piles of bonfires to guide the fleet so that they would not be stray from course because of the night.

By dawn, the fleet had already passed through a tributary of the Qingchuan River that had just begun to thaw and arrived at a place not far from Suchuan.

The right side of the Houjin army crossed the river yesterday and set up camp by the river, and if the fleet could advance to the vicinity of the enemy, and then bombard the enemy with the 100 cannons on board, the battle would be much easier.

However, this fleet can no longer move forward, the Xuan army is all sea ships, to be able to go retrograde in this section of the tributary for so long, it is already a great risk, and further on, maybe when it will run aground, there are 47 jumps in the sea here, if you fall here, the loss will be too great.

At a distance of 5 kilometers from the enemy, the Xuan army died down and quietly disembarked to gather, and there were already piles of neatly stacked Xuanjun standard backpacks on the shore, and there was a sergeant holding a folder in front of each pile of backpacks. There is also a sign standing next to it, which says the unit to which the package belongs.

The soldiers of the headquarters disembarked in turn, and then led by the officer to the wooden sign with their own number written on it, and prepared to receive their equipment.

The weapons, equipment, and armor issued by the Xuan Army all have their own numbers, and the most important thing is that the size of the backpack containing the things has a number number on it, which represents which company the backpack belongs to.

After the backpack was handed out to the individual, according to the regulations, the soldiers wrote their names on the internal openings of the backpack, and now it is much easier to take the right seat and redistribute it to the corresponding soldiers.

After receiving their respective equipment, the alert detachment immediately went out 2 kilometers to hide, and the rest of the people were busy with the work they needed to do in the morning.

The cooks were busy again, and the steamed buns that were steamed overnight, the thick meat porridge boiled out of the low fire, and the pickles carried on the boat, made everyone eat to their heart's content.

Although there are military rations, the bad taste and the burden on the digestive system make Xuan Jun still willing to eat freshly prepared meals when he can. Of course, this does not include 3 good special rations, which are a luxury that is different from ordinary military rations.
