Chapter 632: Reinforcement of Chelanga
After the speech at the airport, Li Shaoyi's motorcade began to enter the city in a mighty procession. Although it is called a city, in fact, the cities in the Far East region of Russia are not big, and are about the same size as a county town in our country.
Of course, compared with some cities in our country, the level of modernization here is still quite good. This can only be blamed on the poor economic development of our country. In fact, this kind of city should be ranked the lowest in the whole of Europe.
"How's your reconnaissance of the surrounding area? Although you've captured a small city this time, it's like a slap in the face to the entire Luosha people. They won't let this go."
After arriving at the command center, Li Shaoyi immediately went to the sand table and asked Zhang Jiahua to introduce the situation here to him. The report in the telegram was not as good as the actual introduction in front of him.
"Marshal, I'm afraid we'll need some support this time. Our entire brigade consists of only about 20,000 men, and although we have various units, according to the intelligence we've received, the Russian Far East Military District is preparing to assemble 12 infantry divisions and the East Siberian Military District 9 infantry divisions, for a total of 21 infantry divisions, as well as three artillery regiments..."
Zhang Jiahua frowned and said that if there were fewer people coming, his army would be able to withstand it, but with so many Rakshasa troops at the moment, it was really difficult.
"The Rakshasa people sent so many troops to such a small city. It doesn't look like they are here to fight. I think they are here to destroy the city. Perhaps this place is a shame for them."
Li Shaoyi saw the blue labels on the map, all of which were the Rakshasa troops that were gathering. Even if some infantry divisions were not fully staffed, the total military force this time exceeded 200,000 people.
Originally, whenever the Rakshasa people made plans, they would always have a large army, but only half of them would actually participate in the battles at most, as most of them could not be assembled due to the vast territory, and by the time the war was over, only half of them had left.
Therefore, as long as we move fast enough, we can basically have an advantage on the Xiongnu grassland. But now that we have arrived in Luosha territory, the transportation conditions have greatly improved. Under such circumstances, the Luosha army can assemble more than half as fast as before. Therefore, Zhang Jiahua did not dare to take risks and requested support from the headquarters.
"I'll transfer three more regiments from the headquarters reserve, two regiments from the 3rd Infantry Division, and two regiments from the Independent Brigade, bringing your total to seven regiments. Is that enough?"
Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Zhang Jiahua was already grinning from ear to ear. According to the current organization, these seven regiments are equivalent to adding another brigade. Forty thousand troops are against two hundred thousand, and our weapons and equipment have an absolute advantage. How can we not win?
"Isn't it too late? According to our estimates, the Rakshasa army will definitely launch an attack in half a month at the latest. They are gathering very quickly now. The headquarters reserve is very close to here, but the Third Division and the Independent Brigade are too far away from us, right?"
The smile on Zhang Jiahua's face did not last for a few minutes before he immediately thought of a very tricky problem. That is, the people of the Third Division were all in Jidong, and the people of the Independent Brigade were in Chahar and Suiyuan. In the absence of trains, by the time they arrived, even with a fully mechanized advance, they would not be able to catch up with the war.
"The Air Force will specially mobilize 200 transport planes to bring only personnel here, while all equipment will be replenished locally."
If the current Air Force transport planes only carry people and not equipment, each plane can carry 21 people. If all are in operation, they can fly at least three times a day, and one plane can carry more than 60 people.
It will take three to four days at most to transport all these people here. Of course, this is just a theoretical number. The actual operation will be much more troublesome. But even so, a week is enough, and there is still a week for them to adapt to the surrounding environment.
According to Li Shaoyi, if you still can't adapt to the surroundings within a week, then you are indeed not a qualified soldier of the 72nd Army.
"Marshal, our warehouses are complete, enough for 50,000 people to use for a year, but the problem is that they're still empty. Besides what we originally brought with us, no supplies have been delivered to us. How can we re-equip them locally?"
Zhang Jiahua said with a bitter face that the major warehouses were completed three days ago and he had personally visited them. Apart from the things they brought with them, the things inside were those looted locally. All the valuables were loaded onto planes and shipped away, and the ordinary things were waiting for the transport team to arrive. Where did the weapons and equipment come from?
"Don't worry about this. Leave your warehouse to the logistics department. All the supplies will be in place by tomorrow evening."
When Li Shaoyi said this, he looked mysterious. The most mysterious department of the 72nd Army is probably the Special Operations Department of the Headquarters Logistics Department.
Everyone here has a poker face. They ignore outsiders who try to get close to them. But as long as they appear somewhere, you don't have to worry about logistics. No matter how big the warehouse is, they can supply as much supplies as they want.
When he was in Ulaanbaatar, Zhang Jiahua had also seen such a magical thing. The warehouse was empty the day before, but by the next night, the entire warehouse was full. However, no one in the surrounding army knew what was going on. They only knew that the machines in the warehouse were roaring.
Zhang Jiahua also knew that this was Li Shaoyi's trump card. Victory in wars everywhere was inseparable from logistics. There were some things we shouldn't know, so we shouldn't ask too much.
Knowing that the problems of supply and support were not a problem, Zhang Jiahua stopped worrying about it and started talking about happier things. When it was almost time for dinner, Zhang Jiahua took Li Shaoyi to the restaurant and had dinner with the colonel-level officers from the entire brigade.
Li Shaoyi toasted at every table, and by the end of the round, six taels of white wine had been consumed. This was the Shaodaoli liquor he brought from his hometown, not the kind of red wine that the Russians drank.
When Li Shaoyi was about to lose his balance, a slightly cold little hand supported him. Li Shaoyi looked over and saw that it was a blonde, blue-eyed Rakshasa girl.
Even though Li Shaoyi had lived two lives as a human, he still felt a little surprised when he saw this Rakshasa woman...
Zhang Jiahua was also observing Li Shaoyi's face nervously.
We won't commit burning, killing and looting, but there is a duchess from the Tsarist era here. If not our boss, who else should we give it to?
