Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. This is the truth.

Logistics is always the first element of military operations.

Song Biao's previous preparations were mainly to start in October and basically end large-scale battles before January, with a short rest for three months, and to continue the subsequent final battle in April of the following year.

Preparation for autumn and winter is definitely different from preparation for summer.

Song Biao did not sleep all night that night. After ordering the entire army and the patrol troops of the three eastern provinces to martial law, before the generals of other military officers came to attend the meeting urgently, Song Biao's General Staff Office One and Second Divisions, and the main members of the Patrol Army Command.

Assembled and immediately began to re-plan the military supplies for summer operations. Because there were a large amount of vacancies, they could only quickly increase purchases and speed up orders and customization in the three northeastern provinces, such as cooling oil, sulfur soap, herbal tea prescription, plague pill, and Zhuge Zhanjun

Scatter, gauze tent, moisture-proof bandage, etc.

During the entire First World War, the US military's logistics work was the most complete, which was also the main factor in the US military's ability to promote the German army in the later stage. The US military's logistics power was also the most unprecedentedly powerful, so that the 105mm howitzer could

Equipped with a regiment level, in the first battle, how powerful is this *** the logistics and equipment ability... or cross-oceanic combat!!!

Sometimes when Song Biao thinks about it, he feels a certain despair. It is very difficult to improve the troops to a certain extent. In the end, it is all about national strength and detailed work.

Resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is a special war. It is certainly not the same as using the power of the whole country to confront some of the US military, not to mention that there are giants like the Soviet Union behind them. Even so, the sacrifices paid by the Chinese army and the price paid by the whole country are abnormal.

Tragic.

If you really want to go to a full war with the US military, especially before the 1950s, that was almost unimaginable. Song Biao would never do such a stupid thing because it was impossible to defeat his opponent.

You can fight anything, but logistics is really impossible. But if you can’t fight logistics, there is nothing else to talk about.

The Beiyang Army can be destroyed in one battle, but this battle will definitely require a lot of effort. Otherwise, if you fight but don’t die, there will be endless troubles.

The Beiyang Army is not weak, nor is it stupid. It is not as powerful as a machine gun to sweep apart. Considering the killing rate of machine guns during World War I, the number of preparations for annihilation of opponents, shells and ammunition will be unprecedented.

Amazing.

During the Battle of Liaoyang, more than 70% of the supplies were seized by the Japanese army in Liaoyang, and this time it was a large transportation line ranging from 400 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers. In addition, the plan was incorrect, so many supplies had to be re-equipped.

Procurement is a supplement. The best way is to first draw materials from the New Army in the Northeast and the Patrol Forces in various places. It is centrally equipped on the battlefield, and then replenish them by emergency procurement and production. If there is any disadvantage, it can only rely on foreign countries.

Buy.

Which materials are the most important, and the supply must be guaranteed and the quantity must be guaranteed. What levels are classified, which materials can only be purchased, whether they can be purchased, when can they be arrived, and what should I do if I can’t buy them, these are all things that the Advisory Office must consider

matter.

What area is most likely to hold the first large-scale decisive battle? How much force is the two sides invested, the intelligence of the other side, the level of the commander, the training status of the troops, the local situation, the detailed military map, possible weather conditions, local people

All intelligence must be summarized to ensure that the most suitable and comprehensive information is provided to command and combatants at all levels on time.

Starting from the evening of July 14, 1910, to be precise, the Joint Staff Meeting at 8:35 pm, the entire Northeast New Army immediately entered the state of martial law in the entire army, from 8:35 pm to the early morning of the next day.

At 7:20, the first formal meeting was held, and the military command of the Northeast New Army and the Patrol Army of the Three Eastern Provinces issued more than 600 channels to local division headquarters, brigade headquarters, detachments, military reclamation bureaus, local material reservoir areas and bases.

Telegram.

The Intelligence Department, the Secret Service Bureau and the General Liaison Office of the Chinese Revolutionary Association sent secret reports to the provinces and began to contact the provincial liberation associations and new army members to determine a new national uprising plan.

Song Biao did not sleep all night, and an emergency logistics preparation meeting was held at 5 o'clock.

At 7 o'clock, he attended the preparatory meeting of the Second Staff Office. After the meeting, he would generate a separate power for Xiao Kaigui and ordered Xiao Kaigui to complete the rectification within three days. The entire division would cross the entrance of the Clarkteng Banner Valley in five days and station in secret. After that, he must ensure that the army will be marched within three days.

Ability of two hundred kilometers.

Song Biao was actually a little worried about Xiao Kaigui's planning in the battle. Before the official regular meeting of the entire army was held, he called Chen Qicai to the office.

Chen Qicai also did not sleep all night, his eyes were red, but he could also show a special excitement. This spirit almost spread throughout the military headquarters of the New Army in the Northeast. Not only did everyone want to fight this battle, they didn't seem to think it was too.

How difficult it is to defeat the opponent.

The level gap between the two sides is too big. This gap is not in the equipment level, but in the organizational ability and business level.

The New Northeast Army has been following the Russian army in recent years. At the same time, with the help of the German advisory group and the French advisory group, gradually improving the operation of the military headquarters and the planning coordination of the General Staff Department, as well as the accounting of various combat plans and conventional plans.

Equipment capability.

This is what the civilian-level era lacked in the civilian-level era. It was not mentioned again until the Whampoa Military Academy era, but it was not too clear. The real ability to achieve this on a large scale was the growth accompanied by continuous battles with the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

process.

As the adjutant of the Secretariat, Chen Qicai naturally worked extremely hard this night.

When entering the office, Chen Qicai first saluted very well and said, "I have met the chief executive."

The more it was time for war, Song Biao seemed to be more excited. His true self seemed to suddenly wake up, from a governor to a soldier.

He quickly called Chen Qicai in and said, "I won't talk nonsense to you. Xiao Kaigui still can't reassure me. I plan to let you go. But there is a problem. You used to be a staff officer for him, not command him.

, If you can't grasp this position well, you'd better not go. I would rather take some risks and continue to believe in this bastard Xiao Kaigui."

Chen Qicai hurriedly stood up and said, "Please rest assured. I will definitely be able to grasp the position and do a good job as a staff officer for Commander Xiao."

Song Biao then smiled and said, "Okay, you can go. You know, I know, it's not that I don't trust Xiao Kaigui and Jiang Zhaojian. It's really that this matter is too important, and you can't have any mistakes. Please hold it back.

No matter how hard you are, you have to withstand it.”

Chen Qicai said: "Don't worry, Chief Secretary, we will definitely be able to withstand it and will definitely live up to the Chief Secretary's cultivation and trust."

Song Biao thought for a while and said, "It's important to say cultivation. It's true that the heavy trust is my trust this time. It's not a thousand tons. But a nation is so heavy and a Manchu-Han dispute is so heavy. You are taking on this.

Nation, the people who resolve the national dispute. I won’t say much, we are all very busy now, I will just say these two words, you will bring these words to Xiao Kaigui and Jiang Zhaojian in person, so that they will die even if they are dead.

I rushed up."

Chen Qicai saluted in awe, as if everything was indifferent.

Song Biao returned the gift and stopped saying anything. He asked Chen Qicai to go back to prepare for the itinerary and handed over the work to executive vice-president Jiang Zhengyuan and Zhou Jiacheng.

After talking with Chen Qicai, Song Biao immediately went to the conference room to hold the first military meeting. After a night of assault preparations, the preparations and statistics of each department had already come out. It is expected that it will take several days for which troops to do it in advance.

All preparations must be explained clearly at this time.

The most complicated problem now is the recruitment of war horses. Fortunately, it is in the slack season, because the three eastern provinces are all in agriculture in one season, with more horses free, and the military reclamation system can draw a large amount of horsepower. However, it will definitely have a great impact on production next year.

I won’t talk about how much impact it is at this time.

As for Germany's transfer of 1.7 million horsepower in World War I and 1.2 million horsepower in World War II, it can actually ensure agricultural production needs. This is really crazy. Russia's reserve level of agricultural horse breeding.

It's even more amazing.

The United States also recruited a large number of war horses in World War I, not less than 300,000, but it has begun to use cars on a large scale, making World War II even more powerful.

Because the Northeast New Army cannot control sea transportation without a navy, a railway is not enough. The Chengde direction also has new troops garrisons, so in the early stage, they could only fight for horsepower, in addition to the equipment of the New Army and the Patrol Army themselves, as well as military reclamation.

In addition to the number of recruitment in the system, plus the recruitment from various places and southern Mo, and purchasing horsepower, the entire army must ensure that 600,000 horsepower is used for cavalry, transportation and material supply.

This quantity must also be considered in the entire northern war. In the early stage, 200,000 horses must be urgently collected within one week, 400,000 horses must be completed within one month, and 600,000 horses must be recruited within two months, without railways and sufficient horsepower

Before, Song Biao was unable to solve the problem in Shaanxi, and the No. 1 combat plan could only ignore Shaanxi, and the combat scope of the troops ended in Shanxi.

Because Song Biao also needs to reserve a certain amount of horsepower recruitment ability to prevent the division of Outer Mongolia and foreign countries from taking the opportunity to intervene in the three northeastern provinces.

In addition to horsepower, manpower must be raised. Militia, civilians and husbands must be recruited on the spot, and all the wages and wages must be paid. In addition, food consumption, all of these must be calculated. If you can't get half of the food and military pay, you will have to have a big problem.

Therefore, the economy determines the war. Without the rapid development of the three northeastern provinces in the past five years, Song Biao could not fight the Qing Dynasty in accordance with such a plan.

Five years are short, and there are almost no big waves in the five years under the market economy. The planned economy is different. The crazy mining of coal and iron ore, soybeans, beets, wild cultivation of fields, large promotion of horse farming, horses

Large purchases, banks desperately issue money, grain production, and military factories desperately expand.

After doing this, all the economic data are fake, and Song Biao is actively preparing for the war.

...

The New Northeast Army officially launched martial law at 2 a.m. on July 15, 1910, and the Patrol Forces of the Three East Provinces began martial law at 12 noon on July 15. The two armies entered the first level to prepare for war almost at the same time, and were fully committed to war.

It was rushing away, like tens of thousands of war horses running wildly on the prairie, with the desert rushing, the wolf smoke rolling, and the momentum was amazing.

It feels like hundreds of thousands of soldiers are equipped with bayonets in front of you at the same time.

The god of death has covered the earth.

The Northeast Army, which has been developing rapidly, has finally begun to start a state of combat, and the craziest era is about to come.

As we know about this, the Qing court sent the eighth town of Wuchang New Army to suppress the Changsha Uprising Army. Two days later, on July 17, Xiao Xingheng finally decided to surrender to Song Biao completely and declare an uprising in Hangzhou.

If the previous Changsha Uprising was in the understanding of the Qing government, there must be a large-scale civil unrest in the area, and the Hangzhou Uprising was purely incomprehensible. Then, the 23rd Mixed Association of the New Army in Suzhou had a dispute over the uprisings.

The fierce internal war finally ended with some officers giving up resistance, and the 23rd Mixed Association announced the uprising.

Cooperating with this uprising, organizations from the Restoration Association launched uprisings one after another, and the originally privately-secretized armed forces were suddenly exposed, expanding the uprising to the whole country.

Changsha Uprising.

This will be a day that is destined to be written into the history of history.

When the Beiyang New Army could not be transferred, the Qing government sent both the Sichuan New Army and the Wuchang New Army. The revolutionaries of the 21st Mixed Association who were left in Wuchang immediately launched an uprising in Wuchang, which resulted in Wuchang's Wuchang.

The new army gave up fighting outside Yueyang City, and the two sides began to confront each other outside Yueyang City without firing a single shot or a round.

The governors and governors from all over the country suppressed and contacted everywhere, and made promises to make various benefits, requiring all the commanders, coordination and management to actively suppress the revolution.

Things developed into this way, which was beyond Song Biao's expectations.

In such a general environment, even if the New Northeast Army did not make a statement, the Qing court had fallen into a storm. Unlike the Revolution of 1911, the New Northeast Army now restrained the Beiyang Army, and the Qing government would not send Beiyang at all.

The army suppressed various places, which led to an extremely terrible problem, that is, as long as the local new army united, the Qing government would have no troops to suppress it.
