Lin Yi looked at the head of the logistics department, "We will probably have to set up a temporary camp later. The trucks transporting tanks and armored vehicles need to be centralized. Do you have a plan for this aspect of defense work?"
The logistics chief nodded, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, please rest assured on this. I will arrange a separate class to carry out guard work to ensure that there will be no mistakes."
One class? Lin Yi was a little surprised, "We transport so much food, I'm afraid it won't be enough for just one class of guards."
The head of the logistics department patted the pistol on his waist, "Although there is only one guard squad, each driver is also a combat force. If there is an attack, they will fight back as soon as possible."
Lin Yi looked at the more than ten trucks of food he was pulling and felt really uneasy, "I'll leave a platoon for you. The defense plan will be redone. The thirty security personnel must be properly arranged."
Although the chief of the logistics department knows that food is very important, in modern operations, everyone basically does not consider the supply of food, because air control is now almost in the hands of a few big countries.
But in a war between major powers, there is no such thing as air supremacy. It’s really a red-eye. Mushroom eggs will appear in the atmosphere and at the bottom of the sea. How can it be meaningful to talk about air supremacy at this time?
So now it is basically big countries fighting against small countries, but no matter how big countries do it, they can always gain absolute air supremacy. For example, the Eagle Country has never lost its air supremacy in any war.
With air supremacy, there is no longer a problem of supply. The worst case scenario is air drops. Moreover, each brigade is now equipped with a helicopter squadron, so the problem of food supply is no longer a problem for big countries.
As for the principle that food and grass should go first before troops and horses are moved, it seems a bit outdated now. In fact, if you study it carefully, this saying is not outdated. At most, it is just an outdated literal meaning, and this is only for big countries.
There are only a few major countries in the world, and there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world. Ninety percent of the countries still have to abide by this principle.
The logistics chief looked at Lin Yi, "But if so many people are left to guard some less important food, will the battalion commander agree?"
Lin Yi's tone was firm, "It's just the strength of a platoon. If I can't mobilize even a deputy battalion commander, then I'm too incompetent. You should make a plan first."
After more than 20 minutes, the fourth battalion finally cleared the road. At this time, the new task was announced by the director team. The four battalions needed to drive 20 kilometers on a dirt road, and then disperse to predetermined points to assemble.
But after such a delay, the troops of the four battalions were all mixed together, especially the vehicles of the third battalion and the second company, all scattered, as if the fourth battalion was full of spies.
At this time, the chief of staff of the third battalion looked at the battalion commander, "I think it's time to hang a red cloth strip on the rearview mirror. There are four forks in this road. In the mixed convoy, we must ensure the establishment of the
of absolute completeness.”
The battalion commander agreed, and even made a special request, "You are not allowed to look at the conductor's order, only look at the red cloth strip on the rearview mirror. Do you understand?"
The drivers shouted on the intercom: "I understand."
Soon the first intersection was reached, and the order the conductor received was that the Fourth Battalion should take the first fork in the road. The Second Company Commander saw that the cars of the Fourth Battalion were starting to turn, and specifically warned: "The driver is at the first intersection."
Don’t stop at any fork in the road, keep moving forward.”
The guide was sent by the director team. He was only responsible for guiding the work. He had no right to tell the vehicles how to drive. So when he saw that the second company's car did not turn from the first intersection, he did not chase it. He just counted according to the number.
, after counting enough, he placed a red flag at the first corner to indicate that this road should not be continued.
But in fact, there was still one company of the Fourth Battalion that had not entered, but when he saw the conductor's actions, he thought that his unit was going to rendezvous elsewhere, so he did not have time to report to the battalion headquarters, just as the beeping sound of the car behind him
, go straight down.
The second fork in the road is the assembly point of the Third Battalion. However, due to various reasons in the past, some companies of the Third Battalion and the subsequent Fifth and Sixth Battalions have been mixed. Therefore, at the second fork in the road, those with red ribbons
All three battalions knew to turn inward.
However, the conductor could not let the vehicle in if the number of vehicles was sufficient. The third battalion headquarters knew that its vehicles had not yet finished entering, so how could it not be allowed in, so it directly asked the second company commander to 'invite' the conductor to the armored vehicle for a cup of tea.
But the people behind did not know that the conductor had been invited to drink tea. When they saw that there was no conductor at the fork in the road, they naturally did not dare to turn blindly and could only run with the car in front.
It wasn't until the fifth and sixth battalions found out that all their troops had fled with the third battalion that they got furious and asked the troops to come back.
But this road is extremely narrow, and there is no place to turn around at all. We have to walk all the way to the dark side, wait for all the traffic on the road to clear, and then drive back.
At this time, Deputy Brigadier Chen was fooled by the tactics of the commander of the third battalion and the second company. He looked at Brigadier Meng in surprise, "You guys from the third battalion are so fierce. You even dare to invite people from the director team to the car for a drink."
Tea."
Brigadier Meng was also very surprised. He had actually seen from the drone's picture transmission that the red ribbon tied by the third battalion was their sign to confirm whether it was the same battalion.
If you don't let my people go with me, then I have to invite you to the car for tea. I have to make sure that my staff is complete. Even if you are a member of the director team, you can't mess with me casually.
The preparation of.
Brigadier Meng looked at Deputy Brigadier Chen at this time, "If the third battalion does something that violates the assessment principles, you can punish it, but in my opinion, the guide is just invited to get in the car to drink a glass of water, and nothing happens.
It goes against the principles of assessment. Moreover, it seems that the director team does not have the right to directly order the grassroots companies. The companies only obey the orders of the battalion headquarters. You are giving cross-level command. This is against the rules."
Reporting and commanding at higher levels are taboo, and are generally not allowed no matter where they are.
The Major General Chief of Staff laughed at this time, "These instructors are not from the director team at all, but were set up privately by Deputy Brigadier Chen. He just borrowed the name of the director team and wanted to introduce the four battalions separately to his
It’s nothing more than an encirclement, so if you observe carefully, you will find that the two orders designed before were intended by Deputy Brigadier Chen to disrupt the organization of the four battalions and cause friction with each other to facilitate his further progress.
action.
But I think Deputy Brigadier Chen may be in trouble this time. With so many people pouring into the Third Battalion at once, your encirclement may be broken."
Deputy Brigadier Chen did not blush when he saw that he had been exposed by the Chief of Staff, "Although the third battalion had an influx of many people and vehicles, the fourth battalion was missing one company, and the fifth and sixth battalions only had half of their troops.
, I now think this is a good thing, the importance of the battalion headquarters is far more important than that of ordinary troops."
