Chapter 157

Strong guarantee

Rommel was defeated in North Africa during World War II. After losing the entire war, he said a few words: "Adequate reserves of weapons, oil and ammunition are the first necessary conditions for an army to persist in a tense battle."

In fact, before the battle began, the quarantine officers on both sides were already fighting and determining the end of the battle. Without guns and cannons, the bravest soldiers could do nothing; without sufficient ammunition, the guns and cannons were useless;

In mobile combat, vehicles that are not filled with fuel will not play much role, regardless of guns or ammunition. Maintenance and repair work must also be equal to the enemy in terms of quantity and quality."

In the cold weapon war, mainly engaged in human and animal power, the logistics of the army was actually in a state of laissez-faire, and the logistics that the generals considered were very narrow. The military provided to soldiers, except for military pay, was given daily food and was subdued.

, armor and weapons. In the supply ratio, forage accounts for the large amount and food accounts for the small amount. Others can be ignored. Soldiers need to maintain and carry their own equipment. In the territory of their own country or allied countries, they can also send military officers to the front station.

Organize urban goods and raise food and grass. In some cases, if the army repeatedly uses the same march route, it can also set up a permanent soldier station to prepare the items needed by the soldiers and arrange camps.

In ancient times, people did not guarantee the logistics system for the army to fight in the enemy territory. Whether it was a beast army or a benevolent and righteous army, the solution to this problem was to let the army plunder along the road. History proved that this method was still very reliable. However,

People at that time lacked the management theories and institutions of later generations, and could not turn robbery into an organized exploitation. However, if the number of troops exceeded the local capacity, the destructive power would be no less than atomic bomb.

As the scale of the war increases, the size of the army also increases accordingly. The pressure on the original logistics model is disastrous. If the commander cannot solve the problem of eating, he will lose control over the army.

It began to appear. Although it was just a pediatric system with modern supply systems, it was still a great progress. However, warehouses in this period were just a temporary measure against war. After the war began, the supplies were purchased and the materials were sold on the spot after the war ended, avoiding the

Waste of money and manpower."

Military reserves are divided into two types: one is used to protect the defense of the country, that is, to reserve supplies for the defenders for half a year to two months in border towns and guaranteed areas to fight the enemy's siege. The other is used to protect wars outside the border.

Need. However, there is no professional logistics force yet. When it comes to delivering supplies from warehouses to military camps, there is no other good way to requisition vehicles and ships on site.

During the long-term border war, the Song Dynasty gradually summarized an effective set of logistics supply methods. Although there were still shortcomings, it still solved many problems. In order to consolidate border defense, in the early Song Dynasty, the imperial court was in Lin, Fu and Feng areas.

There were only a few of the fortresses, such as Ningyuan Village and Hengyang Castle. During the Shenzong period, the "shallow attack" strategy was implemented, and a large number of fortresses were built on the border of Song and Xia, and the key points of Xia people's exchanges were even more important.

New Fort Villages and beacon towers were built, and there were one army, one city, one city, eighteen villages and twenty-six forts in the prefecture area alone.

As a result, new problems arise. Soldiers along the border fortress can be self-sufficient, but the food of mobile troops needs to be transported by Guanzhong to meet the supply. Mobile troops generally operate mobile warfare at the border with the Xixia, and traffic roads are often threatened.

It is often difficult to understand the specific location of the Song army when transporting grain. If you carry grain to pursue the Song army, it will not only take time, but also waste people and money. The food transportation will not only fail to arrive smoothly, but also have the danger of being robbed.

After suffering a few losses, some knowledgeable people found that although the border fortress was slightly weak in resisting the invasion of the Xia army, they also had an important role, which was to serve as a food transportation transit station and protect the smooth flow of food transportation. Once the war broke out,

Then the grain can be transported to the fortress, which is safe, reliable and labor-saving. Then the "Che Ex-Husband" is responsible for transporting the grain to the final destination. The "Che Ex-Husband" fights with the army, and understands the location and needs of the Song army, and can be based on

The specific situation regulates the transportation volume of grain, and distributes it reasonably, and transports more often if there is more demand. For troops with different food shortages, they can be treated differently. The fortress played an important role in this war and became the guarantee system for logistics supply in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Use.

On the basis of modern times, Zhao Jie adjusted his military logistics supply system. First, relying on the developed businesses in the Song Dynasty and using them to raise the required materials; second, establishing a logistics headquarters and establishing a logistics supply team, whose mission is

In the field conditions, follow the army as a mobile warehouse with several days of reserve. In this way, no matter where the army goes, there will be a logistics team carrying short-term supplies, and each controlled area will set up a supply warehouse at traffic points to store supplies, so the army does not have to

Then, by plundering everywhere, you can solve the problem of eating like a robber.

This is also a revolution. The officers and soldiers of the baggage unit were first and foremost soldiers. They were all trained by military, equipped with self-defense weapons, organized closely, and had a certain combat effectiveness. Moreover, they all used mules, horses, camels and other animal powers for transportation, with a large amount of transportation.

The power of the motor is that they consume much less food than the civilians, but their efficiency is much higher. Now the loyal and brave army is basically one man and two horses, and they can carry ten-day food and grass and a medium-sized battle center.

Ammunition is required. If each unit's baggage battalion is accompanied by the marching, its self-sustainment can be increased for twenty days to reach one month, which can basically ensure that the troops need a period from assembly, deployment, and the end of the operation.

However, Zhao Qie planned to "surround Wei and save Zhao" to last for how long, he is not sure about how long it will last, so he must do enough preparations to ensure the safety of the situation. This time, there were 40,000 troops, plus the vassal soldiers,

The total number of people will reach 100,000, and the amount of food eaten in a day will be huge, not to mention a large number of war horses. Although Zhao Qi had ordered to mobilize more than 200,000 stones of food to the fortresses along the border in the winter.

But it was only enough to last for a month, so he added 200,000 stones again. This time, the border patrol was to urge the arms to survey the terrain.

After the troops set out for twenty miles, Zhao Qi realized that he was wrong. From Fuzhou City to Yong'an Fortress, it could not be seen from seventy or eighty miles on the map, but the terrain here is complex, and the roads are mostly between rivers and valleys, with twists and turns.

Often after walking for a long time, I realized that I had not done much work but did not do much work!

"Miss Zhe, is there a shortcut to reach Yong'an Fortress?" After passing Baisheng Village, Zhao Qi turned his head and asked Zhe Meiluan who was following him.

"Oh, yes, yes, but that's a small road, and we can only ride alone. We are a marching team, so we're afraid it will take more time!" Zhe Meiluan looked around and replied.

"There is Xi'an Fort ahead. Can we arrive before dark?" Zhao Qi estimated the time distance. He only walked less than one-third of the journey, but he spent more than half a day and had to retreat.

Secondly, choose to camp in Xi'an Fort.

"Your Majesty, it should be fine. It's just that the weather is getting warmer now, the ice and snow are melting, the rivers are rising, and the brigade of civilians are urgently transporting food and grass, and the bridges are congested, so I'm afraid it will take some time!" Zhe Meiluan said.

"Do you know the road or not? It's either the road is narrow or the rivers block the road. Like you, it will only miss the military opportunity!" Zhao Xin glanced at Zhe Meiluan coldly and teased.

"You..." Zhe Meiluan felt aggrieved and she came up regardless of the girl's reserve, but was repeatedly troubled by the guard. She really wanted to turn her head back and no longer be angry with him.

"Zhao Xin, don't say it anymore. Miss Zhe is from the Prefecture. She knows the situation. Our reconnaissance work is not done in detail enough. These situations are not clearly understood. If a war really takes place, it will be missed!" Zhao Qi

He frowned and said, then he invited Jie Meiluan to ride with him, inquiring about the mountains, rivers, hydrological geography, and marking them one by one on the map.

"I forgot my righteousness when I see profit, I value sex over friends. When I see a beautiful girl, I want to make a fuss..." Zhao Xin looked at the two people whispering intimately, and was furious. His evaluation of the prince changed drastically, and it was inevitable that he was not objective.

"Hmph, if I dress like her, I will definitely be ten times more beautiful than her. What a shame, I can't even explain the official words. The Queen can't pass the secret, but because I had a relationship with the prince when I was young

I have been with the prince for more than ten years, and I have pulled my hands and hugged me. I have slept on a bed. Is that kind of friendship that you can compare to..." Zhao Xin thought about his advantages

It was much bigger than Zhe Meiluan. He snorted coldly and carried his horse forward, occupying the prince's left hand and riding with them.

Zhao Qi looked at the two of them fighting cocks, and felt helpless, so he could only continue to pretend to be stupid. He seemed not aware of the two's open and secret struggles, but he was also secretly proud in his heart. He was a bachelor in his previous life, and he could also be filled with love in this life.

Saint...

The next afternoon, Zhao Qi finally arrived at the Yong'an Fort, which was already the forefront, only 16 miles away from Fengzhou City. It echoed the Baoning Fort in the northeast and was a supporter. The village was built on a small hill, which was Wu Zu.

When you are stationed in the lookout, you can see three tall square beacon towers in it, conveying messages between the three cities.

Now the Long General of the Zhongyong Army and a general of the Fuzhou Army are stationed here, setting up camps on both sides of the village. The surrounding Xia army and border residents have long fled, hiding in Fengzhou City and staying away, and their ranch has become

The Song army's horse-herding place, the Song army's former scouts extended their tentacles to the city of Fengzhou, and had several small-scale conflicts with the Xia army's post-spy. Under the fierce attack of the Song army, they no longer dared to approach the Song army.

Within ten miles of the camp.
