Chapter 321 Establishing Logistic Transportation

After the personnel and weaponry are determined, the next step is a variety of actual combat exercises.

In order to let all the soldiers experience the siege battle firsthand, Ning Yuan asked people to build a simulation training field in the barracks outside the city of Condor.

Since there were a large number of wounded in the last actual combat training, Ning Yuan learned the experience and lessons this time and directly built the ground of the simulated training field into a swimming pool.

In this way, the soldiers who fell from the top of the city would fall directly into the water. Ning Yuan only needs to arrange some good water lifeguards on the shore.

After everything was ready, the soldiers who were selected into the siege army immediately went into rigorous training.

Looking at the soldiers poking into the water, Ning Yuan knew that once this legion was formally put on the battlefield, many soldiers here might not be able to come back alive.

Although Ning Yuan didn’t want to see these soldiers go to death, his purpose of forming this corps had already pushed these soldiers one foot to the side of the god of death.

Therefore, in order to compensate these soldiers, and at the same time to seek peace of mind, Ning Yuan provided the regiment with the highest standards of treatment.

He not only provided them with the best food resources, but also asked the civil affairs department to arrange a marriage for everyone.

Although many people are destined to never come back, at least Ning Yuan will let their incense continue.

At the same time, in order to improve their survival rate on the battlefield, Ning Yuan also arranged special personnel to conduct various targeted training for them. He plans to use the time of the past few years to train them into a truly elite division.

So far, Ning Yuan has done the best for them. The next step is to look at their training results. I hope that after hard training, their life-saving ability on the battlefield can be ascensionable.

After solving the problem of siege troops, Ning Yuan and Bai Shihai and others began to study the formation of the logistics army.

After the arrival of the era of planetary hegemony, player lords may not be able to send out an army of hundreds of thousands at will, because logistics supplies will be a problem that everyone must face.

When a legion goes out to fight, in addition to the large amount of food and grass they carry with them during the march, they must also be transported once a month from the rear. Once the logistical supply is interrupted, the legion in the front is likely to be defeated without a fight.

The ability of logistical supply is directly related to the smoothness of frontline warfare, so Ning Yuan attaches such importance to it.

In ancient times, an army of 100,000 people set out on an expedition, and the civilian men responsible for transporting logistical supplies to this army would need two to three million people.

The soldiers on the front had to eat, and the civilians who transported the supplies had to eat, so every battle in ancient times would have to be delayed for several years, because the food and grass consumed in each war would be an astronomical figure.

As a modern person, Ning Yuan would definitely not want to see hundreds of thousands of civilians serving one hundred thousand troops, so he wanted to form a full-time transportation army.

Since a prototype has already been formed before, he only needs to expand the scale and improve it this time.

There is no shortage of manpower and livestock in Ningyuan’s territory, so the only thing he needs to improve is the food truck.

Because it was all plane wars before, at most ten days and a half were over, and long-distance transportation was not needed, so at that time, Ning Yuan only used some simple ox carts.

When the era of planetary hegemony arrives, it may take a month or two for each transportation just to hurry, so the requirements for vehicles are relatively high.

In order to transport more grain and grass at one time, Ning Yuan asked the craftsmen to design a new type of carriage.

The carriages of this kind of carriage are sealed, and the body and roof have been waterproof and fireproof, which is very suitable for long-distance transportation.

In order to increase the rigidity of the body, the wheels and frame are made of steel, and a thick layer of rubber is also wrapped on the wheels, which can play a good shock absorption effect.

In order to test the practicability of this kind of carriage, Ning Yuan asked his subordinates to drive ten sample cars full of grain and grass, wandering around in the condor collar.

After all the minor defects found were corrected in time, the vehicle directly began mass production.

After seeing this box-style carriage, Ning Yuan thought of the troop carrier again, so he simply asked the craftsmen to transform it in the style of a van to develop a more comfortable troop carrier.

The personnel carrier is specially prepared for infantry, especially heavy infantry.

Although the heavy infantry is very powerful on the battlefield, their movement speed is a flaw.

If they were allowed to walk dozens of kilometers in armor, they wouldn’t be attacked by the enemy, and they would be tired and paralyzed on their own.

Therefore, in order to retain their physical strength, the application of personnel carriers is still very necessary.

This kind of personnel carrier designed by the craftsmen has a capacity of 20 people. There are skylights on the roof and windows on both sides of the vehicle body. Soldiers can sit and lie down inside.

After Ning Yuan experienced it in person, he felt that this kind of troop carrier was very suitable for heavy infantry to rest in it, so he immediately let people hurry up and start production.

A corps has 100,000 people, a troop carrier can only hold 20 people, and a full corps requires 5,000.

And five thousand personnel carriers need at least 10,000 to 20,000 livestock to pull the carts, which is a huge burden for any territory, so this kind of personnel carriers is destined to not be popularized by all legions.

After considering this huge consumption, Ning Yuan decided to temporarily position the troop carrier as a means of transport for the heavy infantry. Other light infantry still had to rely on two legs to drive.

After solving the problem of transport vehicles, the next step is to establish a corps to protect the transport team.

Because the significance of whether the grain and grass can be delivered to the front line in time is too important, and many enemies will attack the enemy’s logistics supply line in a targeted manner, so logistics transportation must not be lost.

The Logistic Transport Corps not only has to protect the transport convoy, they will also consume a lot of food and grass, so their number must not be too many, but they must not be too small for safety.

There are too many people, and the food and grass they transported are consumed by them on the road. Although the safety factor has been improved, the actual transport volume has fallen each time, which is not worth the gain.

The number is too small. Once an enemy attacks the food convoy, they cannot protect the food. This situation is even worse, because the front lines are likely to run out of food.

Ning Yuan thought about how many people should be arranged for a long time, but couldn’t come up with a practical plan.

Because he found that these have a great relationship with the size of the transportation fleet, the length of the transportation distance, and the harshness of the transportation environment, and it needs to be specifically arranged according to the specific circumstances.

So he simply left these questions behind and began to concentrate on forming a transport army.

One hundred cavalry, four hundred elves, Wandering Xia, five hundred infantry, this is the standard equipment of the transport corps of a brigade that Ning Yuan came up with.

Cavalry can act as scouts to find the way in peacetime, and they can charge into battle to kill the enemy in wartime.

Infantry and elves Wandering Xia guards the food convoy at all times, the infantry is responsible for defense, and the elves Wandering Xia is responsible for long-range attacks, which can be close and far away, which can better protect the safety of the food convoy.

After discussing with Baize Lion, Bai Shihai and others, Ning Yuan decided to temporarily form a transport corps of ten divisions, and if needed later, expand it.
