Chapter 482: Treason
Not only fat, but the supply of sugar has also increased. Starting from September 22, the daily supply of sugar has increased from about 30 grams to 60 grams. The Southwest Army even increased to nearly 80 grams after the war! However, this high standard did not change until the beginning of 1915. From this time period, the performance of Russian supply in history is exactly the same as the old man's speculation!
If the prince remembers correctly, from March 25, 1914, the Russian frontline meat quota was reduced from 1.5 Russian pound to 1 Russian pound. Since April 1, the amount of fat has also been reduced from the beginning, and the daily fat amount of frontline personnel has been reduced to 70 grams. And the rear personnel reduced to 40 grams!
The supply situation began to deteriorate further in February 1916, and the Russian military stipulated that the rear units had 4 vegetarian meal days a week. As the situation continues to deteriorate, the soldiers in front will also have three vegetarian meal days a week. At this point, the Russians’ food supply is completely in trouble.
"Then I want to ask, if the war lasts more than one year, what will happen to the Russian army's food supply?" The prince thought for a while and asked.
"At most two years, the entire national economy will fall into an extremely dangerous situation, and there is no possibility of recovery." The old man replied firmly.
"Two years is still too long, is there any way to make this time come earlier?" the prince asked.
"If you can tear open the front line of defense of the Russian army and get deep behind enemy lines, then everything is possible."
"But we need to know the supply system of the Russian Army."
"This is no problem. I participated in that year. I'm not sure about the national supply system, but the corps level is okay." The old man smiled slightly and placed the chess pieces that marked the corps, army, and division with the putter in his hand. To various positions on the front line.
"Russian military supplies are transported in this way. The headquarters is responsible for procuring these materials and transporting them to the front-line base grain station by rail. Then the transportation team of the base grain station will send the materials to the intermediate grain station and the intermediate grain station under the group army according to the situation. Although the two units have different levels in the military-owned food payment station, the levels of supplies may be the same."
"At this time, if the distance between the military grain station and the division grain station is within 25 kilometers, which is a day's journey, then the military grain station will be directly responsible for transportation, and if it exceeds this distance, the group army's grain station will be responsible for transportation. "
"The divisional grain station is not on the front line. They are also about 1 day away from the front line grain station, which is about 25 kilometers. The front line grain station is only half a day away from the front line. That is, if you can If you break the position of the Russian army and go deeper than 10 to 12 kilometers, then you have a great chance to leave a division’s troops without food. If you can hold on for 3 days, the other party will destroy itself without attack."
"Then if there is a railway, the distance between the intermediate grain station of the group army and the front line should be relatively far." Wang Wang asked.
"Yes, the design standard of the intermediate grain station is 500 kilometers from the front line if there is a railway, and if there is only a dirt road, then it is only 100 kilometers away. In addition to the two grain stations mentioned above, there are There are two special grain stations, one is the reserve grain station and the other is the fortress grain station."
"The former, as the name suggests, is naturally called when general grain stations cannot meet demand, while the latter is used for fortification areas and fortress areas. And almost all grain stations are next to railways and roads. As long as it is not particularly bad, You should be able to find the location of these grain stations soon."
"The transportation of grain and rusks can be as you said, but the transportation of meat may not work, right? Canned meat is naturally suitable for long-distance transportation and storage. But fresh meat seems to be no way?" The prince pointed out one of the words of the old man. Loopholes.
"You are right, meat transportation is different, and we have also made targeted plans." The old man said here, slightly proud.
"I don't know how big the next war will be, so I can't estimate the total amount, but there is a general standard for the meat consumption of each group army, army, and division. Each group army needs to consume 700 to 800 cattle per day. The corps-scale unit consumes about 120 to 160 cattle a day, and the infantry division is 40 to 52. The infantry regiment is about 8 to 11."
"If that group of officers follow the above requirements, then each regiment should have a herd of 250 to 300 cattle. And a group army should have a herd sufficient for the troops to eat for two days. Of course, if the local animal husbandry industry is developed, The size of this herd will be relatively small."
"When we launch an offensive operation, all the herds will follow the army, and the distance between each other is about 20 kilometers, which is about 1 day. The European part of Russia can provide about It is about 10,000 heads, but I estimate that the number that can be shipped to the front line does not exceed 2500 heads. That is to say, if the front reserves are exhausted, the rear supply will get worse and worse."
"Of course, this can be compensated by using substitutes, such as using salted fish or dried fish or even egg powder instead of meat, but I personally think that the results of all these efforts will not make our estimates too big. Mistake." The old man thought for a while and made a summary.
"During the war, Russia can increase the freight volume by increasing the narrow-gauge railway and the horse-drawn railway. Have you considered this question?" The prince thought for a while, and added several models to the huge sand table.
"Naturally considered, but the length of this kind of railway is generally not very long~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The average length of narrow-gauge railway and horse-drawn railway is about 36 kilometers, and the maximum cannot be more than doubled. Because the efficiency of these transportation methods is very low, the transportation efficiency of the former is 250 tons a day and night on average, while the transportation efficiency of the horse-drawn railway is about 180 tons, which is much worse than the 500 tons day and night capacity of general railways.
(Of course, there are special exceptions in everything. The Russians have set a record of 623 tons per day for the horse-drawn railway and 1,147 tons per day for the narrow-gauge railway. Of course, this record was created when the transportation distance was extremely short. More than 15 kilometers.)
"I don't know how efficient your country's railway construction is. Anyway, in our country, our narrow-gauge railway construction speed is about 1.6 to 1.8 kilometers per day, while the distance of the horse-drawn railway is about 2.88 kilometers per day.
"On narrow-gauge railways, trains will not run very fast, about 106 kilometers in 10 hours. On a 149-kilometer railway, we can only accommodate up to 72 small locomotives, 320 freight cars and 21 tank cars. The speed of the horse-drawn railway is generally 4.2 kilometers, and on average there will be 1,200 horses on every 106 kilometers of the horse-drawn railway. Although the efficiency of the train is higher, it is a pity that we still need about 80% of our transportation. Rely on animal power."
"Each group army should have building materials, delivery vehicles and related personnel capable of building at least 106 kilometers of soldiers. Of course, it is hard to say how far it can be."
