The war is fought by logistics. Tanks, aircraft, artillery, cars and even the smallest unit infantry on the battlefield. Any link without logistics will be abandoned.
No matter what kind of vehicle or aircraft, leaving the oil is a pile of scrap iron. Whether it is a cannon or a small soldier, it can't play any role without ammunition. This is a very simple truth.
How much ammunition can a single soldier carry? After fighting, he can only rely on logistics, not to mention all kinds of heavy equipment with greater power but higher dependence on logistics.
To use five self-propelled guns, the oil that must be prepared is a big number. The total weight of 2s19 self-propelled gun is 44.5 tons, and about 300 to 400 liters of diesel oil are consumed per 100 kilometers. This is the fuel consumption during marching, and the fuel consumption during combat will increase sharply. A self-propelled gun also consumes at least 600 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in actual combat.
Sweden once released a data. During the training and exercise close to the actual combat, the leopard 2 tank produced by Germany can only travel more than 100 meters per liter of diesel, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is nearly 1000 liters.
At best, the scale of five self-propelled guns is an artillery company, and an artillery company needs at least 20 vehicles to serve it in order to realize the long-distance attack. First, there must be a board car to transport, a ammunition supply vehicle to pull at least one base number of shells, and a tank car to provide fuel for the self-propelled guns. There is no logistics force of husai armed forces where Satan is going, I can only go to the border with all my necessities.
Although the husai armed forces have obtained some heavy equipment, they are still an armed force that can only rely on light infantry. Compared with Shah, the husai armed forces are only suitable for guerrilla warfare.
Satan cannot provide logistics by himself and can only rely on husai armed forces, but now it seems that the help that husai armed forces can provide is too limited to meet the logistics of an artillery company.
Gao Yang hurried to find Salim. He felt that husai armed forces should be able to meet his needs, but Salim was unable to provide urgently needed items, which only showed that husai armed forces were prevaricating him, which made him very angry.
Originally, he was full of complaints and resentment, but seeing that Salim was a little worried, Gao Yang was embarrassed to ask questions. He could only lower his voice and said discontentedly: "man, what's the matter? I'm anxious to go to the northwest border, but why don't I even have a trailer and oil tanker?"
Salim gasped for several breaths, and then hurriedly said, "there are six tank cars, four small and two large. Each small car can hold five tons of diesel and the big car can hold 20 tons of gasoline. It should be able to meet the demand in a short time, but I have only found two trailers. Wait, don't worry, I should be able to find them."
Gao Yang nodded and then said, "what's the matter? Sana'a city is not small. Can't you find several large board cars?"
Salim said with a bitter smile, "I really can't find it! There are a lot of cars in Sana'a City, but we can't find the large board cars that can carry 40 or 50 tons of self-propelled guns. We used to have several, but now they are all sent to Aden. I sent a lot of people to find them. I just found two board cars big enough, and they were forcibly collected."
In China, large trucks run everywhere. It is estimated that no one will feel rare to see large trucks. However, in Yemen, let alone large trucks, they are still rare, because the roads here do not allow large trucks to run casually. Medium trucks with up to 20 or 30 tons can be seen, and large trucks with 50 or 60 tons have never been seen.
Looking at Gao Yang's impatience, Salim whispered: "in fact, we are all in a hurry. We can't find a suitable car to make Abdullah angry several times, but now, there is a solution. The truck will be delivered tomorrow."
Gao Yang couldn't believe Salim's promise. Now he said suspiciously: "where did you find the car?"
"Abdullah and said discussed the large board cars used by the Iranians themselves. Said agreed to give up three board cars for you to borrow, but the board cars are all in zamar. They start tonight and will arrive tomorrow."
Waiting to finish the cannon, Salim lowered his voice and said, "is the information you gave me today accurate?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "you can rest assured that it is absolutely accurate."
Salim breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I transferred the information to Abdullah. He is very happy because you are willing to give me the information, which shows that you... Show that your country intends to provide intelligence support to us?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "yes, you can understand so, so there will be information for you in the future."
Salim is very excited because providing intelligence support is one of the few and very important support that Russia can do. Therefore, no matter how valuable the intelligence itself is, the Russian statement is enough to excite many people of husai armed forces.
"Great, it would be great to get intelligence assistance, and the information you gave me today is really important, but excuse me, can you still have information at the strategic level? For example, will Shah send ground troops and when to send ground troops? Can these information be provided to us?"
Gao Yang looked at Salim and whispered, "I think what you need most is specific operational intelligence. Won't Iran give these strategic intelligence?"
Salim whispered: "yes, but the Iranians didn't get any valuable information. Shah is very strict with Iran, and Iran's intelligence work, to tell the truth, I personally feel very bad."
Whether it's intelligence spying or confidentiality work, to be honest, Iran is really bad. Among other things, the successful assassination of key scientists in Iran's nuclear program is enough to explain a lot of problems.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yang finally whispered, "well, I tell you, the Shah will launch a ground attack. The Shah people are not just pretending to assemble heavy troops. They are really preparing to send ground troops to attack Yemen in an all-round way."
It is estimated that Shah himself is still studying whether he will send ground troops. As for Yemen, it can only be guessed. Abdullah and Salim are worried about this, but Gao Yang is very sure that Shah is determined to launch a ground war.
Gao Yang made a direct conclusion. How could Salim not be surprised? He lost his voice and said, "really?"
"Really!"
Salim gasped for a few breaths before whispering, "can you confirm? I mean, is there enough evidence that Shah will really send ground troops? Also, if you can confirm, do you know the specific timetable?"
Gao Yang sighed and whispered: "If I can't confirm that Shah will send ground troops, why should I go to the northwest border in person? You want evidence, but I can't give it to you now, because the notice I received is the final conclusion, but no one will give me specific and detailed evidence, but I can tell you clearly that Shah will send ground troops to attack!"
