Super military empire

"We must capture Gaoling as soon as possible and cooperate with domestic negotiations!" Han Weiguo became the supreme commander of the Eastern Front."One division can clean up the rest of the place. We must fully trust the South Vietnamese guerrillas and let them take over the rights. After we have the results of the war, we will mobilize personnel from the country to replace..."

Due to the fast enough attack speed and the cooperation of the South Vietnamese rebel guerrillas, Vietnam has not yet decided where to mobilize its forces.Although the entire Vietnam has more than 600,000 troops, there are only more than 200,000 elites, of which 100,000 are in the Khmer territory and more than 100,000 are in the north.

Ordinary infantry divisions, even if they are all equipped with Soviet weapons, compared to the educated youth city army with aircraft, artillery and tanks, the combat effectiveness is quite a bit short...

So far, the Longchuan frontline has three divisions. It is enough to sweep the north bank of the Mekong River to the south bank of the Saigon River.

In this area, Vietnam only has less than two divisions, and it is still the most ordinary local garrison division, which has no combat effectiveness at all.

"Before this, they will not mobilize troops from Phnom Penh to stop us, but they are not clear. After all, this is their homeland..." Han Weiguo did not say that this was the meaning of the educated youth city, but opposed what he was doing. Said the teacher.

"Old Han, we are hoarding so many troops here, which puts a lot of pressure on the logistics! To attack the front line, we can't use so many troops at all. My division is enough. I can fight directly from Gaoling to Ho Chi Minh City in one go. !" The Third Division of Educated Youth is also an armored division, but the number of tanks equipped is not large.

"Can't underestimate the enemy, Ho Chi Minh City will be our last decisive position this time, and our strategic goal does not include this city! If we can win it better." Han Weiguo naturally knows that he must attack north with a faster pace of attack. "The force of at least one division who retreated from Longchuan, plus the previous ones, can cause us even greater losses if we make use of a favorable position. The educated youth city means to quickly capture Meidi and Xin'an, Split troops in Ho Chi Minh City, one to attack Xining westward, and the other to surround Ho Chi Minh City. If you can quickly win Ho Chi Minh City, you will first win Ho Chi Minh City!"

Pointing to a large-scale military map, Han Weiguo introduced their combat goals.

Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in this region and a city that the Vietnamese army cannot lose.

Once this city is taken by them, it can completely threaten further areas.=

"In this way, if we divide our forces, it is easy for Xining's troops to suffer from the enemy!" Looking at the army attack situation on the military map, Wu Di, the educated youth division commander, frowned tightly, and the others frowned deeply. Looking at the map deeply, "What is going on above? To attack Xining, you must take down Ho Chi Minh City!"

"In this way, our offensive speed will be slower, and our casualties will definitely not be small!" Han Weiguo also knew.

There is no alternative.

Ho Chi Minh City is an iconic city in Vietnam.

As long as it is occupied, it will not be easy to recapture northern Vietnam!

"Then destroy this city!"

"Absolutely not! This city is not like Longchuan, with more people. Moreover, it is impossible to evacuate like Longchuan before the war..." Han Weiguo was also helpless, "The biggest problem in this battle is Ho Chi Minh City. "

After occupying Saigon, Vietnam has been strengthening the management of the city. In order to prevent people from remembering the former South Vietnamese government, the names of the cities have been changed to Ho Chi Minh City.

"The city of Embankment is too small, and the terrain is not suitable for our armored forces!"

"So take Xining first, and then turn around to besiege Ho Chi Minh City!" What did Yang Wei and Gan Yuan of the educated youth city think, but did not tell them that they only need to achieve their strategic goals.

After studying the combat strategy, the tank regiment of the 1st Educated Youth Division on the Eastern Front invaded Vietnam as the vanguard, and began to launch a fierce attack towards Gaoling. The artillery still opened the way, losing most of the heavy equipment Longchuan Defenders and Gaoling. The frontline defenders, basically without decent resistance, retreated from Gaoling to Meidi in the east.

Then, they retreated all the way to Embankment City in front of Ho Chi Minh City. The orders from the top made them unable to retreat again.

The First Division of Educated Youth did not launch an offensive quickly, and in terms of logistical support, some could not keep up.

Such a problem is also a big problem for Neptune. Although the site is not large, the front is too long, and the transportation of materials from Longchuan to the north must be carried out through the south.The number of trucks is not enough, and the train cannot pass by.

"There is a problem with logistics?" Yang Wei was a little speechless, "have we not been strengthening logistics and transportation guarantees over the years?"

"Commander, we are indeed strengthening the logistics and transportation support. However, our frontline consumption is too huge, especially the artillery shells. Basically, the artillery shells are used all the way. Fuel supply and other things have to come from the educated youth city. We don’t have enough trucks in the direction of Longchuan..."

The material reserves are sufficient, but there is not enough strong transportation capacity.

Zhao Hai, the professor in charge of logistics, basically did not sleep a full sleep during this time. Their logistics and transportation units have been desperately delivering supplies to the frontline, but the frontline was consumed too much.

"Commander Han Weiguo requested that at least one hundred thousand shells and three million rounds of ammunition need to be mobilized. The embankment has already gathered about two divisions of the Vietnamese army. If the infantry is allowed to attack, it will easily cause excessive casualties..." Gan Yuan This is also clear.

Logistic support, they have been considering these issues from the very beginning when they established the armored force.

But after so many years of construction, still can't keep up with the offensive rhythm.

"Then organize a team of civil servants to carry out transportation by relay!" Yang Wei gritted his teeth and said.

The observation group from China did not express any opinions when they learned about this matter. Instead, they wrote it down directly in their notebook, although the domestic work on this matter is very unreliable, and they negotiated with monkeys. Nipudo Sang would be very passive, but when Liu Yijiu spoke, they did not resist too much.

Naturally, there is no such enthusiasm before.

"Nipudosan's logistics force is so huge, hundreds of trucks can't guarantee the supply of the front line?" When it came down, someone in the Chinese observation group sighed, "This is even bigger than our domestic logistics support team. what!"

"Although they are huge, they do not have enough reserves in Vietnam, and the frontline consumption is too large. In just a few days of offensive, they have consumed about 150,000 artillery shells and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. Consumption. These trucks are our domestic liberation, and the carrying capacity is limited. The distance from the educated youth city to the front line is long enough..."

"This is even more expensive than what we spent in the self-defense counterattack!"

"Okay, let's feed back this matter first. They don't wait to see us, probably because of domestic negotiations with Vietnam..."

Liu Yijiu did not intervene in domestic negotiations with Vietnam. However, in order for Vietnam to withdraw troops from the north, the negotiations progressed very quickly, and he did not bother to care about these issues.

The news from Nipudosan made Li Yunlong bother him again.

"Strengthen the logistical support capabilities? Isn't their logistical support very strong?" Liu Yijiu was a little surprised. Although Neptune had an army of 100,000 people, most of them would not leave their inherent positions."Is there something wrong with their logistics supply?"

"Yeah, you can understand it first by looking at this battle report..." Li Yunlong said helplessly, "Our Blue Army has strong logistical support capabilities. If we conduct long-distance operations, it will be the same as them. The main problem is that it consumes too much. Moreover, the front-line medical security is also a problem. The battlefield hospital cannot quickly follow the troops to move, otherwise it will easily cause problems and be given by the enemy’s troops behind the enemy lines. Take it away..."

Various problems were exposed one by one during the war.

"Zhi-91's transportation capacity is not large enough, and it has to carry weapons, which makes transportation costs very high. If it weren't for Nipudossan's desperate storage of various materials before the war, they would even have no logistics capability to continue the war. According to calculations, the battle in Ho Chi Minh City will consume at least 200,000 shells and more bullets. The aerial bombardment has continued..."

The consumption of the Blues is even greater than that of Neptune.

Because all kinds of equipment are more advanced, coupled with Liu Yijiu's policy of supremacy of firepower, this has even greater logistical requirements.

"Zhi-91's transportation capacity is really not good. Fortunately, their strategic goal is about to be achieved. Otherwise, after so many years of preparation, they will not be able to withstand the toss. However, it is necessary to improve the logistics support capability. If there is a train, it is guaranteed. The ability is much stronger..." Liu Yijiu also knew that this was nonsense.

Let alone the country, it is the entire world. In the 21st century, not only the building of the army must be strengthened, but more importantly, the ability to support logistics.

The more advanced weapons and equipment, the faster the consumption.

Automated rifles and artillery make the firepower more intensive, and the speed of ammunition consumption is much faster than the original.

"Just because the logistical support can't keep up, many soldiers can't be treated in time." Li Yunlong sighed. Many of those soldiers are Chinese retired soldiers.

"However, medical security, etc., can be completely resolved! Let the field hospital become a fast-moving method, so that at least the seriously injured soldiers that can be guaranteed receive some treatment at the front line." Liu Yijiu suddenly remembered a kind of always Modern logistic support equipment that he ignored.
