Chapter 830 Transportation
After listening to Mu Xianliang's report, General Li Yan did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he entered the grassroots army and had a good chat with the ordinary soldiers below to see how many shells they needed to bring.
After half an hour of visit, General Li Yan basically had data in his head, and twenty shells were indeed too few.
In a high-intensity battle, these twenty shells were nothing, but the soldiers themselves were already quite heavy.
In addition, these two shells have reached their limit. If they continue to increase their bids, it would probably be impossible, so they have to start with the company-level transportation team.
After more than an hour of planning, General Li Yan ordered each infantry company to add two large trucks. These two large trucks did not pull anything else, and all the ones pulled were grenade launchers.
Moreover, these two large vehicles must be responsible for twenty soldiers. Their task is to quickly send shells up and never let other soldiers be useless.
Since the war has been fought, all the generals have also seen that the soldiers’ qualities are similar. As long as they are not panicked on the battlefield, the enemy will never rush into our queue. Instead, the transportation troops are the busiest.
If the transportation troops cannot keep up, we may really retreat. The transportation department was under great pressure, but now there are two more big trucks, so we can only continue to increase their organization.
"The general's idea is good, but many people were retreated from the combat troops to the transportation troops. They felt a little uncomfortable. After staying in the house for more than half a month, they suddenly received such a notice that it was indeed a bit unsatisfactory to ask them to report to the transportation troops."
Mu Xianliang said embarrassedly, many of his subordinates had already complained to him, and those people were also very powerful on the battlefield.
But compared with truly outstanding soldiers, there is a certain gap. Now that they are sent directly to the transportation unit, who can feel comfortable?
"Doing ideological work for them well is what Long Sui Ye said. If the ideological work is not done well, these people may have a burden in their hearts. What will happen when they arrive on the battlefield is unpredictable. You promise them for me that as long as the transportation troops in the rear follow up, they will immediately return to their construction."
Li Yan also smiled helplessly. He also came up from ordinary soldiers. Of course, he understood what happened to these people under him. Although the transportation troops were also shuttled through the rain of bullets, their safety was still slightly higher than the combat troops.
So their salary is only 75% of the combat troops. Everyone is willing to make more money on the battlefield. They lose 25% of their income for no reason. Many people feel uncomfortable. Of course, there is another reason, that is, all soldiers do not think that the transportation troops are regular troops.
When people like them ask where you are in the army, you can be said to be an infantry regiment or a cavalry regiment, but you can't be said to be a transport regiment.
If it were the transport troops, then others would look at you with a strange look. This is no longer a secret. The army will only select those who are not very good at entering the transport troops. Although it is a little safer, who can lose this face?
After hearing the general's words, Mu Xianliang's face also breathed a little relieved. If he quit temporarily, it would be another matter. But if they were arranged in the transportation army, he would have no shame to see his old subordinates.
"Is the general studying the route of entry?"
Mu Xianliang saw that General Li Yan had been wandering around the sand table several times. They were currently in Beicheng, an important town in the northern part of Annan Kingdom, which is now Hanoi.
The reason why they were able to take over the northern important towns of Annan Kingdom in one fell swoop was mainly because they were not prepared for the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty had declared war on them, they believed that the army could not come so quickly, so a large number of troops were still not mobilized in the south, and the important military towns in the north were already lost.
We have no way to march during this period, and they have no way to take it back. It is all caused by the rain, so there is no large-scale war between the two sides. Now General Li Yan is ready to send troops south, but when he looks at the map, he changed his mind.
"We will not move for the time being, and respond to changes in the same way. Let's take a look at the terrain of Annan. If we go south from our location, it will become narrower and narrower. And what is the situation around us is still unclear about the various wars in history. Whoever moves first may fail."
General Li Yan is also very knowledgeable in military research and has studied the entire Annan Kingdom for a long time. Although this country is very small, they are very stubborn.
In history, China has caused a lot of trouble, so under such circumstances, they will occupy important northern cities. Sooner or later, they will send troops to attack us. It is better to fight a defensive battle.
After hearing General Li Yan's words, Mu Xianliang had a strange face on his face. Now the imperial army is actively attacking. When has it been fought for defensive battles? It was finally clear that if he didn't make achievements, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Victory on the battlefield is the most important thing. Don't underestimate Annan Kingdom. According to the information we have obtained, there are nearly 200,000 troops in the entire Annan Kingdom. These 200,000 troops are distributed in the narrow and long territory of Annan Kingdom. If we don't give them a heavy blow, then I don't know how many battles will be fought in the future."
General Li Yan had another idea in his mind. Annan Kingdom itself is a vassal state of the court, and the court also had considerable power here.
Especially in Annan, many people think that resisting the Ming Dynasty court is wrong, so General Li Yan must make some noise. For example, killing tens of thousands of them in a battle, so that those unstable elements in Annan will definitely come to vote.
At that time, we had allies in their country, and doing anything was twice the result with half the effort.
Now if we rush all the way, it would be good to win all of them, but if there is a slight loss, Annan may see signs of victory in China, and everyone may be united, and we will be in a dilemma at that time.
