Chapter 971 Human life is more valuable

On March 16, the battle between China and the United States in Chilpansingo has already begun. The defense line outside Chilpansingo is still in the hands of the US military. However, they have paid a heavy burden for this.

Price. In comparison, although the Chinese army has not been able to break through the US military's defense line, its own casualties are much smaller. The Chinese army only used a large number of artillery shells and aviation bombs to exchange for the lives of countless American youths. Huge casualties

, the defense line that the US military has defended is almost turning dark red, and blood has soaked the land.

"Damn it! We have lost 4 troops in just one week!" On the evening of March 16, General Pershing cursed angrily after getting the battle loss statistics for the past week.

The 32nd Army of the US Army, to the 33rd Army, the 34th Army and the 35th Army, were all crippled. Just tonight, the 36th Army had entered the front line position and replaced the 35th Army who had been crippled.

It's right.

"General, our losses are very heavy. If we continue like this, how long will it last?" Lieutenant General Davis said with some concern. One army was crippled in two days. If this continues, the US military will also

It can only last less than two months. Moreover, if the US military loses too much army here, the subsequent battle will not be able to continue!

"I know! But there is no other way. The Chinese are using their shells and aviation bombs to consume our troops. We have no air supremacy and can only watch our soldiers be killed by the Chinese." Pan Xing

A trace of sadness flashed in the general's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace. As a US military general, he was used to seeing corpses and blood, even though the loss this time almost exceeded his expectations.

, but this is not unacceptable. At least, the position is still under the control of the US military. Although the casualties have been paid, it is not meaningless. As long as you can persist for a longer period of time, no matter how much troops you lose, it is worth it.

"General! Reinforcements from the other ten armies will arrive in three days. This can further strengthen our forces. However, in the absence of a way to deal with the Chinese air superiority, our losses will not be reduced!" David

Lieutenant General Sri Lanka said that although there are many reinforcements from ten armies, it is only half a month's consumption based on the current consumption. Moreover, with this batch of reinforcements, the United States has sent a total of up to three hundred to Mexico.

Ten thousand troops are here. How many more can we stay after this battle? This made Lieutenant General Davis unimaginable.

"Davis, there is nothing we can do about it. We can't be ham now, we can only continue to be in a stalemate with the Chinese. However, the Chinese consume no small amount of shells and aviation bombs every day. After a week of continuous development, I think they

The consumption is also amazing. The Chinese have to cross the Pacific Ocean to provide supplies to the army. Such consumption is enough to crush their logistics supply line. As long as there is a problem with the Chinese logistics, our pressure will be much less!

"General Pershing said. Although this idea is a bit embarrassing, it is indeed the case. It is no longer possible for the US military to defeat the Chinese army. Even if his mission is to delay the Chinese army, he will only buy time for the US. And now the US military

The losses are too great, so great that the United States can no longer bear it. If the Chinese military reduces the attack due to logistical reasons, this is undoubtedly what he hopes to see. In this case, at least the casualties the US military will pay will be much smaller every day.

"Those idiots in the Admiralty Department. We have long asked them to attack the Chinese maritime transportation lines, but the drag has not been effective yet. Those guys are completely wasting the national strength of the United States!" Lieutenant General Davis

Screamed. This is also the idea of ​​most US Army generals. The army suffered heavy casualties in this war, while the navy consumed most of its national strength but did not work. This made the army generals very

The Army General Staff frequently protested to the Navy, demanding that the Navy launch an attack on China's maritime transportation lines to support the US military's operations on the Mexican battlefield.

In fact, Lieutenant General Davis and others wrongly accused the US Navy. The US Navy was divided into the East Coast Fleet and the West Coast Fleet. Among them, the East Coast Fleet is the absolute main force, and all battleships are concentrated in the East Coast Fleet. It can be said that the United States

More than 80% of the navy's combat power is in the East Coast fleet. However, the Americans themselves blew up the Panama Canal. This certainly prevented the Chinese Navy from entering the Atlantic Ocean and launched an attack on the US Navy. But it was also considered self-destructive.

With martial arts, the warships of the East Coast Fleet cannot enter the Pacific. The strength of the US West Coast Fleet is weak, mostly destroyers and light cruisers. This is why such a fleet is still attacking the Chinese Navy's transportation line.

There is nothing to ask them to seek death! Don't. In addition, the main force of the Chinese Navy has been cruising in the East Pacific Ocean. It is an important port on the west coast of the United States, and there are Chinese Navy battleships. As long as American warships and merchant ships dare to leave the port,

They will be surrounded and suppressed by the Chinese Navy. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult for US warships to leave the port and enter the Pacific Ocean and launch an attack on China's maritime transportation lines. The US Navy's submarine force has also begun

Active attempts. However, the US Navy's submarine performance gap, insufficient endurance and low speed, and without the cooperation of submarine carriers, it seems unlikely that they will carry out ocean-going operations.

While General Pershing was gritting his teeth for huge casualties, Marshal Zhao Bowen, the Minister of the Chinese Army and the Supreme Commander of the Mexican battlefield, was also having a headache. However, the reason for his headache was not the casualties of the troops. After a week of fighting, the Chinese army was in trouble.

There were less than 6,000 casualties, which was only one and a half regiments. The casualties of the Japanese mercenaries were greater, only 20,000. However, the consumption of artillery shells and aviation bombs was a bit large. The Chinese Army

Thousands of cannons have to fire more than 100,000 shells every day. The consumption of aviation bombs is also over 1,000 tons per day. In addition to the consumption of other ammunition, this makes the consumption of weapons and ammunition on the front line almost impossible to support it.

"Marson, this is the specific situation. If we continue to attack with such strength, our artillery shells and aviation bombs can last for up to five days. Especially the artillery shells, which consume too much!" Commander of the 2nd Army Group Commander

General Xie Dingkun said: One hundred thousand shells are fired every day, and a 105mm howitzer shell costs dozens of Huayuan yuan, which is equivalent to spending millions of Huayuan every day!

"Can the navy's transportation capacity be dispatched to ensure our consumption?" asked Marshal Zhao Bowen.

"The Navy has already guaranteed that they will send more military transport ships to transport weapons and ammunition to the Mexican frontline. However, this will take some time." General Xie Dingkun said. The supply line of the Chinese army on the Mexican battlefield needs to cross the entire Pacific Ocean.

From China to Hawaii, it mainly relies on merchant ship transportation from domestic transport companies. From Hawaii to Mexico, this section is a dangerous sea area and is responsible for the navy's transport ship. Compared with merchant ships, the navy's transport ship speed is 2019.

Faster and stronger, and the dangers faced are much smaller.

"So, what are the main problems we are facing now?" said Marshal Zhao Bowen.

"It is mainly a supplement to shells. Chilpancingo is hundreds of kilometers away from Acapulco and only has simple roads, so transportation is very difficult. We have concentrated thousands of trucks to transport ammunition, but the pressure is still very high.

!” General Xie Dingkun said.

Marshal Zhao Bowen nodded. This is indeed a big problem. The Chinese Army's firepower is very strong, but this also makes the Chinese Army's material consumption very high. Under such circumstances, the Chinese Army also attaches great importance to the construction of the baggage force.

Each army has a baggage brigade, with thousands of load-load trucks, each truck can carry two and a half tons of supplies. However, that was when driving on flat ground or on roads with better conditions. Now it is in South Madre

The mountainous areas of the mountains are just dirt roads, with higher altitudes and many steep slopes, which makes each truck only carry one ton of supplies. Similarly, the failure rate is also very high. The Chinese army initiated the opposition.

The US military has been attacking for a month and a half. During this period, at least four or five hundred trucks were scrapped due to various failures.

"Concentrate the trucks as much as possible to ensure the consumption of ammunition on the front line! Although we are consuming a lot of ammunition now, we have caused a lot of casualties to the US military, which is very beneficial to the current combat. There is no reason for us to stop such tactics.

Logistics support issues, we can only try our best to serve customers! After the war in southwestern Mexico is over, we can seize a port in northern Mexico. The transportation conditions in northern Mexico are much better than those in the southwestern part of Mexico!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said

Although the materials consume a lot now, as long as they can cause huge casualties to the Americans, it is completely worth it. Although the price of shells is not cheap, it seems insignificant compared to human lives. Only ten shells can

It would be worth it if the life of an American is worth it!

"Yes, Marshal! I will find a way to ensure the consumption of ammunition on the front line!" said General Xie Dingkun. On the Mexican battlefield, Marshal Zhao Bowen was the supreme commander, but did not set up a special chief of staff. Therefore, the logistics matters
Chapter completed!
