Maintaining a huge army requires so many things that it is unimaginable. To this day, the most popular and sought after soldiers on the battlefield do not seem to be the most dazzling star weapons and equipment.
Maybe for a military fan, a Tiger tank or a super fighter with outstanding performance may be the equipment they dream of, but for soldiers who actually fight, those weapons and equipment may not always be good for them.
impression.
The logistics supply consumption of a Tiger tank may be enough to support one or even two companies of ordinary infantry. Although its combat effectiveness may be higher, for those soldiers who have been deprived of supplies, watching a tank
When a Tiger tank passes in front of you, you may not be in a good mood.
On the contrary, various grassroots equipment that will never enter the eyes of military fans and will not be talked about by military fans are the real core of supporting an army.
To put it bluntly, the things that keep the army running are trucks, cars, even bicycles, ox carts and horse-drawn carriages and other outdated or inconspicuous things.
Pickups or civilian cars active on the battlefield are still the most common and popular equipment on the battlefield in the 21st century. They are the real star equipment, better than the Bradley Fighting Vehicle or the T-80.
Tanks are much more important.
On the battlefield, those special vehicles that seem not important at all but are actually very important are the core equipment that commanders value and rely on most.
A tanker truck transporting oil looks ordinary, but in fact it is much more complicated than a real ordinary truck. And every such vehicle is a necessity for the army to transport oil, and it is indispensable.
kind.
If a truck transporting soldiers is blown up, then the people in the truck can reach their destination on foot. But if a tanker truck is blown up, then an entire company of tanks may have to stand by or wait.
Just abandoned it on the road.
Because in a sense, a machine is the most loyal and honest thing. Unless it breaks down, you just need to give it oil and it will turn. And if you run out of oil, it will not move again.
It cannot compromise or negotiate with you. A person can persist in working even if he is hungry, but a machine will stop immediately if it eats less. This is an eternal truth.
Seeing an oil tanker explode and catch fire, the officer at the logistics supply station turned green. Of course he knew how valuable the truck parked here was, and he also knew that he was now in big trouble.
The Tang Army's bombing paralyzed the entire supply depot at once. Even if the fire was controlled immediately, it would be enough for the logistics troops to struggle for two days. During this period, it was almost impossible for the surrounding troops to receive sufficient supplies.
And the damn Tang Army's attack may have already begun... By then, the troops on the front line will be short of ammunition, no supplies, and no food to eat... He, the head of the supply depot, will probably be shot.
"Cannonballs! Those cannonballs!" The desperate officer looked at the messy scene and could only shout helplessly and furiously at the soldiers passing in front of him.
While shouting, he pointed to the large-caliber artillery shells piled on the other side of the supply station: The elves used special weapon calibers tailor-made for them by Datang Group back then, and the artillery shells were uniformly 150 mm.
There are at least 4,000 artillery shells stored in this supply depot, and most of them are piled in several houses on the outskirts of the village because there are no suitable underground bunkers.
There is no way, there are construction requests everywhere now, and there is a shortage of construction manpower everywhere. Many supply stations on the second line can only deal with the materials in their hands in a trivial manner.
Those with warehouses are considered good, and those placed in the open air are not impossible. As for underground bunkers that require concealment, no one cares at all.
The elves had not been subjected to large-scale air raids by the Tang army before, so they did not take these problems seriously. Now, the fire has been lit, the explosion has begun, and it is too late to regret.
The elf officer who was watching his men running around like headless flies didn't know that at this moment, countless elf positions were being attacked by bombs from the Tang army.
At the same moment, in the radar station set up by Elf, the radar screens that were not high-end in the first place were all filled with noise caused by interference.
"Isn't this the latest model of radar bought from Dorn? Why is there something wrong?" The Elf radar officer frowned and looked at the human engineer standing aside responsible for equipment control, his eyes full of distrust.
look.
The other party had been bragging about these radar equipment for a long time when selling them, and the elf really felt that these radars were much more advanced than what he already had.
However, Tang Jun's interference still covered the signal bands emitted by these radars. The entire screen was filled with noise like snowflakes, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Of course, even this is much better than many Elf radar stations, because many Elf radar stations that have not had time to update still use older radars.
The antennas of those radar stations are so huge that they are not even remotely concealable. They may be interfered with even on rainy days, which is just a little better than nothing.
"Sir, I am only responsible for installation and debugging. For other services, you need to contact my supervisor..." The human engineer shirked responsibility in a very programmed way.
Knowing that it was not a problem that the other party could solve, the elf officer simply stopped trying to embarrass the engineer. He grabbed the phone next to him and reported the current situation truthfully: "Yes, the interference is serious, and we have no way to judge the other party.
The scale of the air strikes... Many places have been attacked, and we don’t know the specific situation."
"You don't know, what should we do here? There are still more than 30 aircraft patrolling the sky, and we don't know whether they are dead or alive!" Over the phone, the air force commander roared in anger.
The officer on the radar side simply came without saying a word. When the other party realized what he was doing and hung up the phone, he hung up the receiver back to its original position: "Turn on the backup radar! Let's see if we can find anything..."
"
"Yes! Sir!" His subordinates stood at attention and saluted, and then went to execute the order. He knew that once the backup radar was turned on, they would basically expose all the radar coordinates.
It's like turning on a flashlight to look for something in a dark night. It's not clear whether the target is found or not, but their location can be clearly seen by the other party as long as they are not blind.
