Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

When traveling long distances on the grassland, if you only rely on the supplies you carry with you, you can still deal with other things, but you can't deal with fuel, which is something you can't find at all.

Liu Xiaoshan also felt that this was the biggest drawback of a mechanized army. They had to refuel all the time. It would be impossible to carry the supplies by themselves, but if they relied on air transport...

In the eyes of others, this is even more impossible. There is no airport nearby, and the plane can only be airlifted by parachute, with a damage rate of more than 15%.

But this was the second air transport. Last time, almost all the vehicles were allocated a barrel of oil, which could support them to run for 100 kilometers. The higher-ups had already decided to use this method to support them to continue moving forward, and when they rested at night, the fuel transport team could catch up.

According to the original calculations, if the transport team did not rest while they were resting, they would be able to catch up in the evening. However, the problem was that in order to reach Prince Bashan's camp as quickly as possible and prevent these people from escaping, Liu Xiaoshan asked everyone to eat and sleep in the car. Except for stopping when they all had to go to the toilet, they had to keep moving forward at other times, so the transport team could not catch up.

Many soldiers who were carsick could not eat anything and could only lie in the back and vomit. But even so, you had to vomit in the car and there was no time for you to get out and stand.

Seeing white flowers scattered in the sky, the logistics personnel of each unit drove over quickly in their trucks. They had to load the fuel onto the trucks in the shortest possible time and then distribute it to the advancing troops. It was impossible to fill up the tank, but they would not let your car stop either.

Liu Xiaoshan glanced into the distance, then returned to his armored vehicle. There were telegrams sent from various places, and this third party was good news.

The airport at Erdaohekou is now operational, and a large amount of supplies can be transported at Erdaohekou.

This means that there is another logistics base on their way forward, and it is relatively close. In a place like the grassland, a few hundred miles is already very close.

At around two o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at Prince Bashan's camp. There was nothing left here except some traces of burning. These people ran fast enough. According to the last plane report in the evening, the enemy had almost withdrawn.

"Order all personnel to rest where they are and discuss this matter after daybreak."

Although Liu Xiaoshan wanted to catch up, but then again, it was late at night on the vast grassland and they didn't have an accurate direction, so it was better not to take the risk. Everyone had been in the car for more than ten or twenty hours. If they didn't relax, it would be like a taut spring and would not hold it together.

After hearing the brigade commander's order, the cook quickly started cooking. The brothers had only been eating vegetarian food in the car, and their stomachs were almost unable to eat anything. We had to give them something delicious.

"Brothers, have a bowl of milk first. Wait a moment, and a big pot of stir-fried noodles will be ready soon..."

The cook said cheerfully that many soldiers were afraid of vomiting in the car, so they didn't dare to eat. They didn't feel hungry at that time, but when they heard the cook's words, their stomachs immediately growled. In such an environment, they could still drink a bowl of hot noodles, which was better than all the delicacies from land and sea.

Compared with them, the fleeing Prince of Bashan did not receive such treatment. No one, including the prince himself, could even have a hot meal at this time. They had been running for seven or eight hours, and the prince did not allow them to stop, so these people had to keep running.

Some people in the team have calculated that at our current speed, if we are discovered by the big iron birds in the sky tomorrow, we will definitely be caught up by them. We are using animals and they will feel tired. Their vehicles are powered by gasoline and can be driven in turns. We will never be able to catch up with them. What's more, there are still many people in our team who are walking, and those horse-drawn carriages cannot be fast enough.

Prince Bashan thought more than once about abandoning those who ran slowly, or leaving with a group of elite soldiers, but he never put it into practice in the end.

Regardless of which of these two ideas you choose, if you actually carry it out, your prestige among the Xiongnu will be greatly reduced. If you lose all the people you have, will the Russians still let you stay in this position? On the grassland, only the talented are king.

"Your Highness, that bastard Erengtu has also escaped..."

This was already the third piece of bad news we had received along the way. Nearly five thousand people had deserted the army, and these were the ones with names and identities who had escaped as a whole unit. If we included those in small groups, the number would probably be more than seven thousand.

Prince Bashan closed his eyes and leaned against his luxurious carriage. He didn't have time to care about this. Whoever wanted to run away could run away, and it was impossible to catch them back. The first batch of thousands of people sent out had not returned yet, so no matter what happened, Prince Bashan was reluctant to split his troops.

Under normal circumstances, several Luosha military advisors would have stood up and made some sarcastic remarks, but now these people were riding horses beside them and no one said a word. They were a little disgusted with the team's marching speed. If it was still like this after daybreak, the Luosha army would break away from them and speed up to the north.

The Xiongnu Front Command has issued an order, asking them to watch over Prince Bashan and try to bring him back. But then again, a general is not bound by the orders of his king when he is away from home. At this rate of advance, let alone bringing Prince Bashan back, it is very likely that they will take us all to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Boris's army was so strong, but it couldn't even last a week in the hands of the 72nd Division. What use are our more than a thousand people?

Many Luosha officers and soldiers finally believed it. There really is an insurmountable gap between us and those Chinese troops. Unfortunately, it is too late to understand it now. If they had understood it earlier, they would not have thought of launching a sneak attack on others without preparation. Now they have figured it out. This is not a sneak attack, but a gift of death to the other party.

Except for the slightly dangerous first day, the rest of the battle was all carried out according to other people's steps. Do we have any other choice except escaping?

The sky in the east was already turning pale. For this fleeing army, the safe time of one night had already passed. It was estimated that in half an hour or so, the Han people in the south would be able to take off their planes and reach us in no time. As for the pursuing troops...
