Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 767 Even if we produce less weapons and ammunition, we must increase the number of logistics

In preparation for the spring counter-offensive next year, Lin Zhenhua gathered everyone back to the Zhaojiayu base and began to discuss material preparations and combat plans.

"Everyone, according to the news we just received, the Allies did not win the Second Battle of Midway. They only fought a draw with the Japanese Navy."

"This is actually a good thing for us. The Japanese are transferring most of their forces to the Pacific battlefield, which has reduced our pressure a lot."

"However, the various natural disasters that have occurred one after another will definitely have a significant impact on our subsequent combat operations."

"To address the shortage of supplies, I've decided to reserve one squadron of transport planes for emergencies, and deploy all remaining transport planes to the air transport line, continuously delivering supplies from outside to our base."

"I sent an urgent telegram to Chen Minggeng last night, deciding to expand the volume of medicine transactions again. I also plan to use the gold and silver stored in our base to purchase the supplies we urgently need."

"According to my calculations, if the air transport line is fully operational, it can transport 1000 tons of supplies a day."

"We can collect 3 tons of supplies for us in one month. What we lack most now is food. I have decided to use % of our transportation capacity to deliver food for us."

"Of the remaining 20%, 10% is used to transport weapons and ammunition, and the last 10% is used to transport raw materials such as rubber that we urgently need."

"Chen Minggeng called back this morning and said he had discussed the matter with Tom, who has pledged to do his utmost to supply us with the necessary supplies."

Upon hearing the news, several people present smiled with joy. The metal ore base could still find ways to be self-reliant, but for some raw materials such as rubber, the base had no other way except to purchase them from outside.

"College students, this is great news for us!"

Li Yunlong put down the teacup in his hand, his face full of a happy smile: "There are still nearly four months until March next year, we have plenty of time to prepare."

"In previous battles with the Japs, I've already discovered that their combat effectiveness is significantly reduced. We're utilizing our superior firepower to engage them, not only not losing ground, but actually gaining a firm advantage!"

"This is even before many of our new equipment is deployed. Once all of this equipment is deployed, our advantage will continue to increase!"

"For the next counterattack, we must increase our armored forces, especially in Northeast China and North China. Armored forces can play a huge role."

"Another thing is that our air force must be strengthened again. Once the counterattack begins, we must ensure good logistical supply."

"Relying solely on air transport lines is absolutely not enough to support the movement of 10 troops. We must increase land transport capabilities to ensure the supply of materials to the front-line troops."

"I think the production of three-wheeled motorcycles and tractors must be increased again. Before the spring of next year, we must have a transport force of more than 5000 three-wheeled motorcycles and 1500 diesel tractors."

"Even if it means cutting back on some weapons and equipment, we will continue production. Otherwise, even if we produce more weapons and equipment, it will be useless if we can't get them to the front lines!"
