Chapter 109 Support Equipment and New Decisions

The brigade commander looked at Huang He who was in a daze, as if he saw himself a few years ago, so he had the idea of ​​joking.

"Are you still not satisfied? You are already the deputy minister at the age of 31. If you continue to be promoted at this speed, the deputy general will be worried in a few years."

Hearing the other party's ridicule, Huang He quickly came back to his senses. First he returned a military salute, and then quickly took the appointment letter with both hands.

"How could I be dissatisfied? I don't have the talent for command, and I can only do my best to provide more logistical support for the troops."

When the word "logistical support" was mentioned, the brigade commander put away his smile in an instant and immediately turned into a bitter face.

"We estimate that there is only one month left for preparation for the next stage of our operations. Although the weapons and equipment of the troops are now greatly improved compared with the past, the support equipment is still a little lacking."

"Recently, I asked the lower-level troops to take the initiative to attack. Li Yunlong and Kong Jie have gained a lot, but it still cannot meet the needs."

As the head of the logistics department in charge of a region, Zhang Wanhe has a lot of say in such matters. To some extent, he even knew what the soldiers lacked better than the brigade commander.

As if thinking of something tragic, he clenched his fist angrily and slammed it on the table.

"Let alone other things, it is difficult for us to fill the gap of gas masks. These damn devils are really damned."

"Now most soldiers can only use folk methods to prevent gas, and the headquarters hospital has no effective way to treat such wounded soldiers. Many comrades have been left with lifelong disabilities after being poisoned."

"It's all my fault that I am the head of the logistics department!"

When talking about this, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point. The three people present knew the harm of gas to the troops.

Regarding the treaty on gas, Xiao Rizi signed at least three articles, but these things were no different from waste paper to them.

Even in 1930, they pretended to be good people in Geneva and seriously advocated that tear gas should be classified as poison gas and banned.

But they changed their faces immediately after the meeting, and the speed of turning their faces was faster than a dog.

During the war preparation stage alone, they secretly conducted experiments and produced poison gas on a small island in the sea near Hiroshima. Later, they even established a notorious digital unit.

When the war started in 1937, these beasts completely removed their disguises and openly violated international treaties. They began to use biological and chemical weapons on major battlefields to carry out inhumane bacterial warfare and poison gas warfare.

In the early days of the war, the Japanese used poison gas relatively less frequently. After all, their weapons and equipment, and the quality of their soldiers were all above preserved fruits at that time.

In addition, a certain transport captain often randomly selected soldiers, and even if the grassroots soldiers fought bravely, many battles were still defeated.

At that time, the Japanese could be said to be disdainful of using poison gas bombs. They believed that they could defeat the enemy with their own strength.

But with the joint efforts of the military and civilians across the country, the war entered a stalemate stage. Xiao Ri was trapped in the quagmire of various battlefields and could not get out, and the problem of the poor foundation of the island country was exposed.

In order to quickly end the war, these lunatics who like to gamble on the fate of the country often use poison gas bombs on a small scale to accelerate the progress of the war.

During the Qihui Campaign in April last year, although the troops achieved good results, Division Commander Hu Zi was still injured by the enemy's poison gas.

The most common weapons used by the devils were poison gas bombs, poison gas mines and poison gas cylinders.

Due to the high conditions for the use of artillery shells and the heavy weight of mines, the Eighth Route Army faced poison gas cylinders most of the time.

They divided this weapon into three categories.

The first category is the asphyxiating poison cylinder filled with sneezing chemical poison, which is called the green cylinder internally. The second category is the red cylinder filled with vomiting poison.

The third category is the yellow cylinder filled with corrosive poison, that is, mustard gas or Lewisite, painted with a yellow marking band.

What Zhang Wanhe said just now makes sense. The Eighth Route Army does have a great need for gas masks. At present, the army's inventory is less than 5,000, some of which were requested by the General Staff from the bald head, and some were donated by someone with a complicated background.

But! Defense alone is never enough!

The development of poison gas is very fast. It has been updated many times within a few decades. There are a variety of military poison gas on the current battlefield.

Unlike the weapons at the laboratory level in the last war, the current poison gas pursues mortality and lethality. But the evolution of gas masks is not that fast, and destruction is always easier than construction.

Thinking of this, Huang He shook his head with some regret.

He even wanted to pull a few chemical researchers to fight poison with poison, but using chemical weapons on his own land would be criticized by the people and future generations.

So far, only two countries have been attacked by poison gas on a large scale. One is Ethiopia, and the other is China.

"It's really a brother in distress. My blood pressure is up."

However, the nickname of foresight is not in vain. Huang He, who is familiar with modern history, naturally knows that in the Hundred Regiments Campaign in history, 20,000 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness due to poison gas.

And in the system, there is just a decision that can solve this problem.

"Logistics of elite troops: With the continuous changes in the style of modern warfare, the consumption of combat materials has increased rapidly, and the status and role of logistics support have become increasingly prominent.

In order to adapt to the war, we need to adjust the logistics structure of the troops according to the local actual situation. Ultimately, we will strengthen the construction of the logistics department and comprehensively improve the logistics support capabilities.

Effect: Unlock the production rights of support equipment"

This decision was made by Huang He when the Gallic Chicken surrendered. It was originally unlocked on August 22. But now with the bonus of the "mobile warfare" effect, it can be obtained 10 days in advance.

The support equipment in reality is more comprehensive than in the game.

It not only includes engineer shovels, telescopes, battlefield rescue medical kits, radio stations, engineering equipment, bicycles, but also helmets and gas masks needed by the Eighth Route Army.

Among these things, only bicycles look a bit out of place. Because in many people's stereotypes, this thing should be regarded as a civilian means of transportation.

But even in Sandezi's troops, there is also a bicycle infantry organization. In their reconnaissance battalion, in addition to a cavalry company, there will be a bicycle company.

Huang He looked at the brigade commander and Zhang Wanhe, and time seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to the base.

"I'll take care of the gas masks, and I can even provide other support equipment. But time may be a little tight, I'm going to apply to the headquarters to transfer transport teams from all levels of units,"

The two who heard this immediately looked at Huang He in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Timely rain! Really timely rain! You kid might as well change your name to Song Jiang!"

Huang He scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed by Zhang Wanhe's ridicule. In the following period of time, he wrote down the specific list of support equipment on paper with a pen.

The importance of these equipment to the combat effectiveness of the troops is self-evident. The brigade commander's eyes lit up and he wanted to cut open Huang He's brain to study what was inside.

"It seems that a deputy minister is really not enough, but you did a great job on this matter. I will arrange the transport team, and communicate in time if there are any variables."

The original national policy in the game was "Elite Mountain Troops", and the effect was to give a bonus card to mountain infantry technology.

I changed it a bit and strengthened the support equipment by the way.

I feel that at 40 points, it is better to improve the logistics of the troops, and I haven't found any information about mountain troops.
