Chapter 136 What are the innovations in the logistics of the Volunteer Army?

He couldn't win the fight ahead, and couldn't win with his mouth, so Li Qiwei turned his attention to the rear of the volunteer army. Li Qiwei's judgment is that the sky belongs to the Americans.I use the absolute advantage of the air to extend to your rear, blow up your rear, and blow up your logistics, so that your frontline soldiers can't eat, drink, wear, or use. Guns have become sticks of fire, grenades have "hands" but not "grenades", and everyone is hungry and shirtless, so why fight! Commander Ridgway used a very vivid expression, saying that this method is like putting a noose around the necks of volunteers-if you can't break you, you will be hanged.

This is Li Qiwei's "strangling battle". Americans learned about war in the war, from being led by the nose at first, to "following" Chairman Mao's military strategy unconsciously - you throw your grenade, I throw my big bomb. According to the saying of modern business warfare, that is - to play a comparative advantage. This method of warfare is different from the previous head-to-head confrontation, but hard-to-soft confrontation.It should be noted that the "hardness" of the US military is different from the "hardness" of the Volunteer Army.The "hardness" of the Volunteer Army is full of energy, which is the hardness of flesh and blood; while the "hardness" of the American army is diamond, which is the hardness of steel.Once the U.S. military has identified its own strengths and used its strengths, it will be difficult for the Chinese army to resist.What's more, the American soldiers have pinpointed the lifeline of the Volunteers this time - logistics.

The U.S. military is not a vegetarian. It is indeed a first-class army in the world, with experts and strategists.This strategy not only identified the strengths of the Americans, but also the weaknesses of the Chinese. Moreover, the longboard of the aircraft is the longest longboard in the US military. The Chinese soldiers are anxious and lose their temper; Moreover, the short board of logistics, the Chinese are too short, so short that it is difficult to grow in the short term. Looking at the Gulf War, how the Americans exerted their air superiority will become clear. In modern business warfare, entrepreneurs should also learn how to use strategies from the masters of China and the United States.

In this way, the more than 2,000 planes in the United States, like dragonflies in summer, flew all over the sky, looking for bridges, railways, cars, etc. of the Chinese and North Korean troops.Once a suspected target is found, it will be an overwhelming bombing. During the Korean War, a total of 100,000 tons of American bombs fell on the North Korean railway line, which is only over 1,000 kilometers away. According to calculations, this is equivalent to an average of 100 tons of bombs per kilometer of railway line, that is, 1 ton of bombs per 10 meters. 10 meters and 1 ton, basically the bombs are discharged along the railway line one by one without intervals.

1000 kilometers in a row. This created an unprecedented record in the history of world wars. Not to mention the army, railways, and bridges, even the rabbits who drill holes have already been blown out! Look at the Gulf War, the U.S. bombed the Iraqi army, that was the situation. The American military made a tough move. What about Chinese soldiers? How to deal with the almost primitive Chinese logistics? In fact, from the very beginning, China's logistics has been passive and proactive.Chinese soldiers have hardly even fought a real modern war, let alone have modern logistics.Moreover, even if they fight, there are not many conditions that can be used.

But soon, the almost primitive logistics of the Chinese army, without many conditions to take advantage of, quickly adapted and improved, turned passive into active, and overcame it. And the top is extremely beautiful! Their method is the words of the iron man Wang Jinxi - if you have the conditions, you must do it, if you don't have the conditions, you must create the conditions. Otherwise, there is only surrender. How to create? Use your brains. Look at these creations: - "One-sided transport".The current railways are all double-track or multi-track, two-way traffic.At that time, most of the railways in North Korea were single-track, and many railway yards and stations did not have reversing lanes, so cars could not meet or drive in both directions.US planes are bombing everywhere, the transportation task is heavy, and the time is tight, what should I do?

The Chinese soldiers invented a good method. When night fell and the U.S. planes were blind, the Volunteer Army would point the fronts of all the trains in the same direction—front or rear, starting in one direction. There is a train every 5 minutes. This is "one-sided transportation", which is actually one-way transportation. This invention greatly improved the transportation efficiency, enabling the volunteers to set a world record of 47 trains going to the front line in one night through the monorail, which is equivalent to 2.5 times the number of trains in peacetime. For this invention, no one has seen the ancients before, and no one will come after.

——"Crossing the River".The daytime is the world of Americans.In the daytime, the U.S. Air Force will blow up the rear bridges of the Volunteers, as if digging the ground, and blow up one by one, and blow up all of them, leaving no one behind. As soon as it got dark, the Volunteer Army's logistics immediately got busy and began to rush to repair roads and bridges.At that time, the engineering operation ability of the Volunteer Army was very weak, and in addition to the darkness, the operation became more difficult.Even if it is repaired, it may be bombed the next day.The Volunteer Army had no choice but to be busy with bombing and repairing, repairing and being bombed.

Focusing on being usable for the time being, the carrying capacity of the repaired railway bridge is naturally relatively poor.How bad is it?The bridge was wobbly, just enough to pass the train, but not able to withstand the pressure of the locomotive. How did the train cross the bridge?When the train crossed the river, the volunteers turned the front of the car to the rear, and used the front of the car to cross the bridge gently. Then, on the opposite side of the bridge, prepare another locomotive, hang the carriages crossing the bridge, and then pull them away. This is the "crossing the river" of the Volunteer Army's logistics.

I like it! ——“Combined operation”.The logistics and transportation of the Volunteer Army is like grabbing food from the mouth of a tiger, with tight time and heavy tasks.In order to rush to rush transportation, the volunteers hung two locomotives together, and then connected more than two trains behind them. In this way, a series of ultra-long trains appeared, like long dragons, moving forward at night.This method significantly improves the efficiency compared with single train transportation, and exerts the maximum efficiency of surprise rush transportation. In this regard, the Volunteer Army called it "merged operation".

In addition, there are many good ways they invented.For example, next to a main bridge, several temporary bridges were built at the same time. The Americans bombed this one, but the other one was used.For example, in the face of daily bombing, volunteer railway soldiers simply removed important components such as Z-beams and rails on railway bridges during the day.American planes flew over to see that the bridge was broken and had been blown up, so they didn't bother to blow it up again.In the evening, the Volunteer Army erected steel beams and rails again, and the bridge worked as expected... There are also good ways such as "Dangdang team", "underwater bridge" and "crawling bridge". The most modern and powerful "spear" in the world has met the most rustic and effective "shield".The more powerful the American planes bombed, the more innovative the volunteer army's logistics was; the more innovative the volunteer army was, the more powerful the American planes bombed. In July 1951, the number of U.S. plane bombings on railways increased by five times compared to January, and the railway transportation volume of the Chinese army also increased by two to three times. In May 1952, the number of bombings on railways by U.S. planes increased by 62.5 times compared to April of the previous year, while the North Korean railway traffic during the same period increased to 2.67 times that of April of the previous year. At first, the American soldiers believed that such a strangulation battle, China's logistics must be over.What they didn't expect was that in the face of such earth-shaking bombing, "there are still trains running in North Korea."American soldiers marveled that Chinese soldiers are "the most tenacious road builders in the world." Who said that Chinese people are less innovative?Such a miraculous local method is not only not plagiarism, but it may be difficult for other countries in the world to come up with it. After the end of the Korean War, the Soviet Army specially sent experts to learn from the experience of the Chinese Railway Corps.When these foreign experts listened to the local inventions of the Volunteers, they were full of praise, and they repeatedly called "It's wonderful, it's wonderful", and said that if they were in the Soviet Union, they would definitely win the Great Invention Award! In the battle of wits and courage with the wise volunteers, the American soldiers as opponents also showed respect and admiration. Today's young people involved in commercial warfare should study the logistics innovation of the Volunteer Army and see how the Volunteer Army thinks of ways to defeat the strong with the weak!
