    After glancing at the several ministers present who had extremely serious expressions after hearing what he said, which was a bit of a knock on the mountain, Yang Zhen did not talk to Xiong Dazhen, but turned to the logistics minister Zhang Zhenhua who was attending the meeting and said: "  Lao Zhang, this battle is of great importance, and the requirements for logistical supplies are extremely high.¡±

    "Compared with our previous internal supply lines, the supply lines involved in this operation are somewhat too long, which is a severe test for our army's logistics. For such long distances, there is basically no supply that can be used by railways, or  This is our first encounter, but we will have to fight it out sooner or later, and we will encounter this kind of long-distance supply situation. "

    "I have always been quite confident about your work, but for the next stage of the battle, I have only two requirements. One is that all ammunition, materials, and oil must be transported and stored strictly to the starting point of the attack.  The confidentiality must not be exposed before the battle begins. "

    "With regard to the confidentiality of personnel and equipment during forward movement, the chief of staff is responsible for formulating plans and ensuring their implementation. However, you, Zhang Zhenhua, are responsible for the confidentiality of ammunition and materials that need to be sent forward in advance, as well as the confidentiality of transportation vehicles required for troop transportation. These two issues  If there is a problem in this area, I don¡¯t look to anyone else, I only look to you, the logistics director.¡±

    "The second and most critical issue is that wherever the battle line advances, your logistical support and supplies must follow, including not only ammunition, but also food and other supplies. That is, you cannot let soldiers fight hungry.  , let alone let the guns and guns in the hands of soldiers go to the battlefield hungry.¡±

    "The main areas for our next phase of operations are either Mongolian nomadic areas or mountainous areas with barren land and poor people. In addition, the customs troops have encountered repeated brutal raids by the Japanese army this year. Our military base areas in North China are no longer able to bear the burden of our operations."  supply for the troops moving south.¡±

    "I'm afraid we need to bear all the supplies for the next phase of the battle ourselves. In modern warfare, logistics is a top priority. To ensure the astronomical amounts of food and ammunition needed by these hundreds of thousands of troops every day, your logistics department  The pressure is heavy, but no matter how heavy the burden is, you must fully ensure the supply of troops on the front line. "

    "At the same time, the next phase of combat is our first large-scale use of tanks and armored groups in combat. For these oil tigers, you must replenish the oil in place. We must not let our armored units miss out because the oil replenishment cannot keep up.  Any fighter jet."

    "For all the work, you have to come up with a detailed plan and give it to each specific responsible person. Remember, it is not just our own troops, but also the advancing army, as well as the supplies for the internal troops to be consumed in wartime.  , but the main issue for the customs troops is ammunition.¡±

    "Starting tonight, all other matters will be handed over to your deputy. You can concentrate on giving me a detailed plan for the next stage of logistics support, material transportation, confidentiality, etc. All your plans,  It will be classified as top secret before the battle begins, and no one will be allowed to reveal anything except reporting it to the Standing Committee of the Military Region."

    "In addition, based on the overall intention of the next stage of the battle, the headquarters has decided to allocate the fifth engineer regiment directly under your logistics department to the aviation force and follow the aviation force in order to set up field airports according to the needs of the aviation force. You have to choose the best one.  Construction machinery is provided to these two regiments.¡±

    "Change your second and fourth engineering regiments to use construction machinery imported from the United States into fully mechanized engineering regiments that will follow the troops to ensure emergency road repairs during wartime. In addition, the headquarters has already imported a batch of American trucks this time.  It has been decided to allocate it all to you. The training of your drivers and maintenance personnel must keep up with the speed of equipment development. "

    Originally, he just wanted to hold a meeting on the idea of ??unifying the air raids on Japan, but because of Xiong Dazhen's interruption, Yang Zhen did not expect that it would end up being a preparatory meeting for the next stage of the battle and part of the preparation work. Although he felt that it was a little off-topic, he was still concerned about it.  For Yang Zhen, this can be regarded as a mistake.

    Pre-war preparation meetings are held sooner or later. Although several column commanders, as well as the commanders of armor and artillery, did not participate in this meeting, Yang Zhen believed that on certain issues, especially military industry and logistics,  It would still be beneficial to talk about it first.

    As the saying goes, the army moves forward before using food and grass. The amount of ammunition and materials consumed in a big war is almost astronomical. If the ammunition and materials are not fully prepared, it will delay the important event. According to its plan, the Logistics Department will be ready next month.  Secretly began to stockpile war preparation supplies to the starting point of the attack.

    According to my overall plan, even if this meeting is not held today, it will be held until the end of the year, because a series of tasks will be arranged immediately after the New Year. Since it is already somewhat off-topic, it might as well beIf you make a mistake, go ahead and take advantage of the fact that several important second-level ministers from the headquarters are here to talk about this matter first.

    Let¡¯s talk about one aspect first, and then implement one aspect, especially logistics and military production, which are key issues related to the success or failure of the next stage of the battle. Whether the quantity of ammunition and materials stockpiled can meet the needs of the campaign, and whether logistics support can guarantee the campaign.  These are very critical issues for the smooth progress of the project.

    In the next stage of the battle, the logistics supply line, which is hundreds of kilometers long, is the first time for the logistics department that has been carrying out internal supply. It is a very severe test. It is better to implement many things earlier than to implement them later to get more responses at any time.  Unexpected response times may occur.

    The problems that the military industry needs to face are no easier than those faced by the logistics department, including the production and storage of ammunition, the modification and repair of tanks, and especially the preparation for receiving German tanks handed over by the Soviet army in accordance with the agreement.  Corresponding modification preparations are also the department with the greatest pressure before the launch of the campaign. It will be of some benefit to Xiong Dazhen to make some preparations in advance.

    It's just that although Yang Zhen hammered Xiong Dazhen very hard at this meeting, no one expected that the number of tanks handed over by the Soviets would eventually exceed imagination. However, due to production capacity, until all the tanks handed over by the Soviets  After coming here, the Equipment Department was unable to produce all the required 45mm tank guns.

    Fortunately, Xiong Dazhen still had some reaction speed and his head turned quickly enough. He used the tank gun on the T-26 tank, which was relatively seriously damaged in the previous stage of the battle and could no longer be repaired, to kill the 38-T tank.  The 37mm Czech-made tank gun on the tank was replaced, and the 20mm machine-gun shells used on the No. 2 tank were temporarily modified by him using 23mm anti-aircraft shells.

    As for the Panzer III tank, he used the foundation accumulated from developing 45mm armor-piercing shells to produce and manufacture some shells for the 50mm tank gun used in it within a month before the battle was launched. Although due to the production  They were too hasty and failed to form sufficient reserves, but the output of 30,000 rounds was enough to meet the needs of the battle.

    Such a large number of British and Soviet equipment was almost in place within less than a month, making the Equipment Department and the Military Industry Department of the Northeast Bureau very busy. In addition, they had to concentrate on the production of artillery shells, aerial bombs and various light weapons.  Ammunition must meet the quantity delivered to the Soviet Union. It is really not feasible to produce such a batch of tanks and guns in a short period of time to counter the current limited military industrial capabilities of the Alliance.

    Xiong Dazhen believes that instead of rushing around, producing substandard products and wasting raw materials that are currently very precious to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is better to use the foundation of manufacturing shells for 45mm tank guns to first produce a batch of shells for emergency response  , at least the production process of artillery shells is much simpler than that of tank guns.

    Except for certain differences in the capped armor-piercing projectiles, the technology of ordinary steel-core armor-piercing projectiles is basically the same. Even if there are certain differences between capped armor-piercing projectiles, the differences are not very big. With the technology of the Anti-League  Ability can fully meet the needs of this difference.

    The actual gap between the production process and technology of 50mm tank shells and 45mm tank shells is much smaller than that of manufacturing tank guns, and the power of the 50mm tank guns used by these German tanks is,  It is also larger than the Soviet-made 45mm tank gun.

    The batch of tanks transferred by the Soviets were mainly Panzer III tanks equipped with 50mm tank guns. As for the 38T tanks, the number of Panzer II tanks was not very large. There were only more than 70 tanks in total. The Panzer IV tanks were also  However, there are less than a hundred of them. The No. 2 tanks are used for reconnaissance and do not need to change the artillery. The remaining 38T tanks with 37 mm cannons and a small number of No. 3 tanks are much more trouble-free.

    Except for a few of the tanks transferred by the Soviet army that were captured before the Battle of Moscow, most of them were captured during the counterattack during the Moscow Defense War. When these tanks were captured, most of them were captured because they were in Moscow.  From December to January, it is generally minus 25 degrees Celsius during the day, minus 40 degrees Celsius at night, and even extremely cold temperatures of minus 52 degrees Celsius. The tank engine is frozen and cannot be used. In addition, there are fuel problems.  , the German army could only abandon it when they retreated.

    Only some of these tanks have minor injuries that can definitely be repaired. Most of the tanks are basically intact. Apart from the need to clean the engines, they basically do not need repairs. This saves money for his equipment department and armored troops.  A lot of trouble.

    Although the German army achieved a huge victory in the early stages of the Soviet-German campaign, its own losses were also quite heavy due to the stubborn resistance of the Soviet army. Not counting several major battles such as the Battle of Kiev and Smolensk, only in Moscow  In the Battle of Vyazma before the battle, the German army lostThere are nearly 800 vehicles in total.

    At the beginning of the war, the 38T tanks and the Panzer 2 tanks, which were the main forces of the German army, had already been exhausted by the time the Battle of Moscow began. The few remaining tanks faced the crisis created by the Soviet T 38T tanks because they basically had no room to fight back.  , are no longer responsible for front-line combat missions. Except for some that have been modified into various self-propelled artillery, most of them have been transferred to the rear troops for use in suppressing guerrillas.

    In the early days of the Soviet-German War, the great results achieved by the German army concealed its equally heavy losses. The tanks, which were the main assault means of the German army, suffered even more heavy losses. The armor was fragile and the Soviet-made anti-tank guns could destroy the Panzer II tank and the 38T tank.  Tanks were the preferred hunting targets of the Soviet army, and they were also the tanks with the heaviest losses. When it came time to launch the attack on Moscow, the tanks invested by the German army were already armored forces mainly composed of Panzer III tanks and supplemented by Panzer IV tanks.

    And they are basically the late Type III models equipped with 50mm tank guns. If it were the early days of the Soviet-German war, nearly half of the 3,300 tanks invested by the German army were equipped with 20mm guns.  If the No. 2 tank with a 37mm tank gun and the 38T tank equipped with a 37mm tank gun are still the main force of the German tank force at this time, Xiong Dazhen will have even more headaches.
