"The first batch of supplies totals 3,500 tons, including food, medicine, clothing, weapons and equipment, and other materials."

"The second batch of supplies is the same and will arrive the day after tomorrow."

It took more than half a day for the transport group to complete its unloading and departure, leaving behind a pile of supplies and a logistics officer from the independent regiment. At this time, this officer was reporting the material data to Chu Yunfei.

3,500 tons of supplies!

Two days later, there was a batch of the same amount of supplies!

The generals' eyes widened in unison.

Watching the transport planes land here, they counted them clearly, there were two hundred transport planes that landed just now, that is, each transport plane was loaded with an average of seventeen tons of supplies.

Much more than the transport planes of the Americans.

The people here, they are all at the same level as Chu Yunfei in the army, and they have a large army in their hands, and the troops in the hands of the least people are five or six thousand.

They knew very well that a regiment of 3,000 people, when it consumes materials during non-combat periods, does not exceed 10 tons per day when it is fully fed, clothed, sheltered, and transported, and as for the combat period, the firepower is only 30 to 50 tons per day.

In other words, the materials transported this time can supply their entire army to be stationed or marching for more than half a month, or fighting high-intensity for three to five days.

"Awesome."

Someone swallowed their throat.

Although it is a heavily castrated version, they have also profoundly realized that logistics supply is the key factor in ensuring the combat effectiveness of the troops.

With such a strong supply ability, it's no wonder that those guys can beat the little devil and throw away his armor.

The officers of the Logistics Department of the Independent Mission continued to introduce:

"One hundred 105 mountain howitzers with five ammunition bases, fifty transport half-track transporters, one hundred 120 mortars, five ammunition bases, three hundred general-purpose machine guns, one and a half million Mauser pointed rounds, one thousand one-type rocket launchers (RPG2)."

Because Chu Yunfei's unit itself has a good equipment foundation, after all, it is the Yankees who are in charge of logistics, although heavy weapons are castrated, but light weapons and light artillery are still abundant, so Li Yunlong focused on strengthening heavy weapons.

"This is the data for the corresponding weapon."

As he spoke, the logistics officer also handed Chu Yunfei and the others detailed weapon information.

"One hundred 105 heavy guns."

After receiving the weapon information, except for Chu Yunfei, everyone swallowed their throats violently, their faces full of shock.

Nominally, they are the U.S. armed forces, and the United States provides military salaries, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies, and envy the domestic troops, of course, the preserved troops of a few years ago, and they have to exclude those people.

But in reality, they are far from the United States.

It's several notches off.

In the whole army, there are only 105 howitzers and 12 howitzers in the army-level troops, and there are only 12 75 howitzers directly under the division, and the rest are mortars.

Today, 105 howitzers are a hundred, and the performance is also more advanced than the Americans.

There are also a hundred 120 mortars, although the range is not comparable, but the power is outstanding.

The most important thing is that each cannon is equipped with five base shells, one base 80 shells, that is, each cannon has 400 shells, and this trip is a total of 200 guns, i.e., 80,000 shells.

And all of them are heavy artillery, one shell weighs more than a dozen kilograms, and it can directly destroy the devil's civil and wooden bunkers, not 75 small cannons.

As for the universal machine gun, there are also bazookas, both of which are much more advanced than the weapons of the Americans.

And then.

Two days later, another shipment arrived.

"It's all good stuff."

Some people's eyes are shining, and some people are gearing up.

After a day of waiting, everyone was tired, but everyone was in high spirits.

Heavy artillery, coupled with plenty of shells, will be more energetic and easier to fight devils at that time, and attacking a commanding height on a hill can be prepared with five or six hundred rounds of heavy artillery shells.

It's definitely a breeze.

"It's going to take a little time to train."

An idea came to Chu Yunfei's mind.

At the very beginning of the expeditionary force's emergence, the troops had very big problems, their operational thinking was outdated, their command regulations were rigid, and they were simply unable to bring into play the effectiveness of advanced equipment.

Li Yunlong also has a lot of troops at this point, but the opponent's equipment advantage is good enough, which makes up for these to a certain extent, and after the defeat in Baoding, it has also been greatly improved.

Now that better weapons are available, they must be trained and used to the best of their abilities before they can attack.

"The rest is a part of medicines, clothing, daily necessities, etc."

The Independence Mission Officer continued his presentation.

Since he decided to open up trade routes and spread out food stamps, Zhao Gang chose to open the way with some commodities with more common demand such as medicines, clothing, refined salt and other daily necessities, among which table salt is super refined salt from Boss Chen.

Good quality and low cost.

These things are hard pass, just needed, basically everyone needs them, and they are suitable for the initial rollout.

And, of course, food.

Although there is no shortage of food in Southeast Asia, there are many poor people, and it is better to use food, of course, this batch of transport planes carries not much food, so.

"I suggest that the troops stay where they are."

Chu Yunfei spoke:

"First strengthen training, familiarize yourself with the equipment, so that the troops can give full play to the strength of the new equipment, and at the same time wait for the follow-up equipment."

"Two days later, four days later, six days later, three batches of the same amount of weapons and equipment will come over, as well as a few large-caliber siege guns, and it will not be too late to attack again."

Head Chu, no, Chu Shi's long voice fell, and there was an uproar.

The same amount of armament.

In other words, there were still one hundred and fifty heavy artillery pieces sent over, no, three batches, that is, four hundred and fifty heavy artillery, and everyone's hearts flashed with indescribable shock, and they were all stunned for a while.

In this way, there are six hundred guns of more than one hundred calibers.

Isn't that, each regiment can form an overstaffed artillery regiment?

There are also large-caliber heavy artillery.

"Luckily."

One of the lion captains let out a long breath.

"yes, fortunately."

Then, a group of lion captains breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.

Thanks to them, seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly threw themselves into the side of Chu Shichang, otherwise they would really do it with the group of brains above, thinking about counterattacking the Central Plains, when the time comes, how tragic it should be?

If they are given 600 heavy guns, how rich should they be?

This fight, let alone the chance of winning, they are afraid that they will have no way to live.

"Recruit the surrounding people first and expand the airport."

Chu Yunfei continued:

"Within a month, we're going to triple the size of the airport and build air defenses to accommodate more transport planes and provide fighter jets to take off."

The words fell, and the surrounding lion captains were stunned again.

What did they hear?

Accommodating more transport aircraft to land, as well as for fighter jets to take off and land?

······

Eastern Front.

Mustache continued to attack, conquering cities along the way, recapturing a lot of territory, and a smile appeared on his face again, but due to the limitation of the number of warehouses, the supply line was getting longer and longer.

When the bearded man retreated, he destroyed the railroad and the oil pipeline, and even if the mustache had plenty of trucks and minus fifty diesel, the winter in Mosco was not so easy to transport.

The supplies that reached the front line were also scarce, resulting in the gradual weakness of the German blade.

And the counterpart to it.

The bearded supply line is getting shorter and shorter, especially the British and American hooligans began to provide great assistance, the world arsenal fully supported, the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the Arctic Ocean route went all out to transfuse blood, and the bearded man's life gradually began to get better.

Finally, in mid-January, for the first time, he blocked the attack of the mustache.

And the mustache was hysterical, did not listen to dissuasion, ordered the troops to attack, suffered several losses, and after losing a large number of troops, he was honest and prepared to accumulate strength, and after the thaw, he continued the attack.

But skirmishes on the front lines between the two sides continued.

Even if the warehouse is far away, even if there is a serious shortage of human resources, and there is a shortage of logistics and transportation manpower, there is still a certain advantage in the supply of mustaches, but there is a shortage of troops.

"Finally stopped the attack."

On the Slavic line, a regiment commander looked at the white expanse in the distance, as well as the retreating tank group No. 4, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about the loss."

He looked back.

Although the battle has just ended, because of the positional defensive battle, the losses can be quickly counted, although it is only an approximation, but unfortunately, unlike in the past, it is impossible to quickly replenish the losses.

"One company was killed or wounded, and half of them were killed."

Soon, the statistics of losses were reported to the ears of the regiment commander.

"A company."

The regimental commander's face was a little pale.

Sacrificing a company will not even make a splash on the entire battlefield, but his command is only a regiment, or a non-full regiment, and the total strength is only 1,100 at present, and a company has nearly 100 people, and the loss is nearly one-tenth.

The sacrifice also reached one-twentieth.

And they count casualties, and they don't count minor injuries.

You know, what he faced today was only a small-scale attack by the enemy, a tank company of a dozen tanks, plus an infantry company launched an attack under the cover of a few artillery pieces.

Battalion offense.

Such an offensive is launched by the enemy almost every day, and moreover, it happens in almost every position along the entire line of defense.

As far as he knew, the five regiments in the positions around him had also encountered a small attack by the enemy at the same time, and the enemy who launched the attack was about the same strength, the size of a battalion.

Well, how much will the entire line of defense be lost?

And also.

At present, they have serious problems with the supply of soldiers.

He is the main regiment, subordinate to the main force, and generally speaking, it is a priority to replenish troops and ensure combat effectiveness, but it has been a month, and it has not been able to restore the scale of the full establishment period.

Keep fighting like this...

The regiment commander only felt hopeless just thinking about it.

"We destroyed three tanks this time, and we also killed a lot of German devils."

As a person who takes the lead in charging every time, the town committee around him doesn't care about casualties, only how many enemies are destroyed.

"Three tanks, the crew is also killed."

When the head of the regiment heard this, his face suddenly improved a lot.

The casualties of one company, the sacrifice of half a company, in exchange for three tanks, and about half of the German casualties, are not a loss, as for the end, it depends on who can't hold out first.

According to the division commander, the Germans also did not have many troops.

"This new bazooka is really good."

The town party committee patted a bazooka beside him, and his tone was joyful:

"With this thing, we don't have to rush in front of enemy tanks and throw grenades."
