The following meeting turned into a complete transportation dispatch meeting. How to maintain the eastern front German army close to 3.5 million, as well as the supplies from other allies became the most troublesome problem.

At the southernmost point, because the attack is not rapid and the main force is infantry with less logistics supply, the logistics supply is pretty good.

After all, Romania is behind us, with sufficient roads and railways, and the pressure on logistics supply is relatively small.

Moreover, one-third of the troops here come from Italy and Romania, and their logistics supplies are borne by their own countries. Relatively speaking, the German senior management does not need to worry too much.

The remaining central theatre and northern theatres are the key areas that need to be discussed at this meeting.

Although the German army was not very fast in the northern region, it was very efficient. Marshal Loeb fully utilized his advantages during the attack.

His advantage is that the German army in the central region had seriously threatened the flanks of Soviet troops, and these northern Soviet troops were retreating from their defense areas.

As a result, the Soviet army, which lost its strong fortifications and did not achieve mechanization and slow action, became the best prey of German armored forces in the field.

After avoiding the Soviet heavy tank troops, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks quickly interspersed and divided the infantry surrounding the Soviet army.

Subsequently, in the Battle of Vilnius, the Soviet army was annihilated a large number of living forces, and the Northern Theater Command was once in chaos.

Although Soviet Marshal Voroshilov, who later took over the command, stopped the Soviet army's defeat, his defense line had been forced to retreat to the vicinity of Leningrad.

Because the Soviet army was defeated thoroughly here, most of the German spoils were also obtained nearby.

In comparison, the Soviet Union's highways were not as reliable as railways, because those poor quality roads would become unreliable with the seasons.

The Soviet Union's railway branches were actually dense in the north and central areas, while the south was relatively loose. This is also the reason why the German army decided to launch a raid in the north and central areas, ignoring Ukraine.

Under such a premise, the competition for railways became very important. The advancement of the German army in the north controlled a large number of railways and railway transportation tools.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the German army seized more than 40 locomotives from the Soviet Union, and most of them can even be put into use directly.

With the support of these trains, the German army was rapidly repairing the railway and restoring railway transportation within the Soviet Union.

Including the small stations outside Minsk, they are all masterpieces built after the capture of Soviet trains. With these trains, the German army's material turnover was finally considered unsatisfactory.

"In fact, our army's transportation was more chaotic and lagging than what was estimated before the war." A general introduced various issues related to transportation.

He pointed to the map laid on the table and introduced the work plan of the German railway engineers little by little, as well as the transportation of materials: "The transportation of materials is very slow, because of chaos and unplanned changes."

"On the one hand, the advancement speed of the troops on the front line was too fast, much beyond the pre-war estimates." He pointed to the Guderian Legion on the front line and the entire Northern Army Group.

Rapid advancement means that for the German army, whose degree of mechanization has greatly increased, it also means that more oil has been consumed.

The German army's oil reserves on the Eastern Front were consumed too quickly, which led to the occurrence of oil shortage in some areas.

"The oil problem has been alleviated by drawing more cars for transportation, but because the transportation of cars, grain and ammunition has been affected." The general said, taking back the instruction stick.

Logistics transportation is a major project, but it is actually so complex that it makes people desperate. The German army, known for its rigor, was so chaotic that it could imagine how bad the situation of the Soviet army was.

The war situation changed too quickly, so fast that everyone could not expect. The German army's assault speed exceeded everyone's expectations, and the difficulty of supplying the rear exceeded the first plan.

Before the war, most senior German generals judged that the German army's logistics supply pressure would probably erupt for the first time near Minsk.

But in fact, although the German army attacked near Minsk, it was not supported by the logistics supply troops, but because the Soviet troops were defeated too quickly.

Eighty percent of the logistics supplies that truly support the German army's advance are still scattered on the road and are constantly heading towards the front line.

On the road leading to the front line, you can see crowded carriages and cars everywhere. On both sides of the road are Soviet prisoners of war creeping towards Poland, and German infantry marching eastward.

Chaos fill every corner, and the logistics forces work harder than the soldiers on the front line. However, most of them are not at risk of death and can safely sit in the car and complete their tasks.

The German troops kept walking forward, and every step they took made the logistics forces more tasked.

This is a logistics war and a total war! The war that determines the fate of a country is actually determined by the overall strength of the country.

The undefeated generals and invincible army all rely on continuous supply to continue fighting. Without supply and logistics, even if you are as powerful as Guderian and as treacherous as Rommel, you can only taste the bitter fruit of failure.

"Our engineers are trying their best to lay two new rails, and the highway is being reinforced as much as possible. They can extend forward more than ten kilometers every day, and the progress is already quite fast." The general responsible for building the road explained to Li Le his construction progress.

Li Le did not have a deep understanding of this aspect, so he could only urge his generals to continue to improve the transportation line faster and better to help the German army continue to fight.

"Every time the engineers who built the road go further, our front-line troops can continue to attack forward!" Li Le looked at the map and said to his generals: "The victory or defeat of the war is determined by logistics supplies."

"We have less material resources. If most of them cannot be transported to the front line, we will be more passive on the battlefield." He withdrew his gaze and said in a slow but firm tone: "No matter what method is used to meet the needs of the front line."

He said, pounding the solid wood table with his fists: "There is no excuse, no delay, no reason! If you can't do it, you will be dismissed..."
