Chapter 124: rain

"Long live your Majesty, Emperor Ailanhill! Welcome Emperor Ailanhill to rule Higgs!" On both sides of the street, there were countless civilians from the Higgs Kingdom. They waved their bouquets to the army passing by. There are colored cloths, and it looks like a cup of glutinous rice glutinous rice greets the king.

In front of them, rows of black 42 helmets swayed slightly with their footsteps under the sun, and rows of soldiers carrying Mauser rifles were walking on the streets of the Higgs Kingdom.

On the premise of not encountering any resistance, the Second Army crossed the border between Ailanhill and Higgs on the last day of the first year of Ailanhill, and entered fully armed to the planned "Hireland". Gus Petroleum Production Area".

The magical car drove between the soldiers on both sides, and the soldier sitting on the truck was holding the latest stg-44 assault rifle in his arms, with his chin held up, overlooking the crowds on both sides of the streets amid the majestic sound of military music.

This new weapon has only just been developed, and it is basically still in the stage of secret equipment. Because of the emergence of tanks, individual automatic weapons have finally begun to move closer to automation. Range is no longer an emphasized advantage, and firepower density begins to become important as the number of artillery increases.

After all, there were no tanks to accompany infantry in combat before. At that time, the range of weapons often determined the outcome of a war. With a longer range, the enemy can be destroyed in a safer position. This is the basis for the design of a single-shot long-range rifle.

Now, with the proliferation of mortars, tanks and even light machine guns, the ability to deliver firepower at long distances has been greatly enhanced. Under this major premise, as in World War II, individual automatic weapons began to come into play.

So Chris made some familiar trade-offs, and finally felt that he should skip the familiar weapon equipment ak47, and go directly to the more mature and matching weapon in the future.

In fact, ak is very good, in fact it is very good, it is cheap and affordable and easy to mass produce equipment, just make it, you can equip the troops in large quantities, and quickly form a powerful combat force.

However, there seems to be some problems in the initial selection of Ailan Hill. Mauser rifles and g-42 machine guns use 7.92 mm caliber ammunition, so the ammunition stockpiled in Ailan Hill Kingdom is basically 7.92 mm caliber.

Therefore, a large number of machines for producing ammunition are all 7.92 mm caliber standards, and the temporary modification to 7.62 mm caliber seems a bit too reluctant. After some consideration, Chris still feels that in the choice of assault rifle, continue the previous choice and honestly follow the path of stg-44.

Then, after maturity, he felt that he could equip the troops with a more excellent assault rifle like 5, which could be used forever. As for the ak47, which cannot be matched with a large number of accessories, he decided to reluctantly cut his love...

Of course, in fact, this kind of grief that has passed by with classic weapons, Chris can fully feel that he really likes ak47, and even feels that he should equip this kind of weapon, and then transition to 4 is too late.

However, the continuity of the ammunition system forced him to make compromises and give up many weapons that looked very good: the American Garland rifle was also very classic, but he had to give up likewise.

In addition, Thomson submachine guns, Bobosha submachine guns, these very classic submachine gun weapons in World War II, also disappeared in the long river of history with the appearance of the stg-44 assault rifle.

Chris’s personal guards have all used stg-44 assault rifles. They never felt that their weapons were overpowered. Instead, they felt that a more powerful assault rifle was more suitable than a submachine gun for a powerful magician. .

Countless cars hauled 75mm cannons through the city, and the soldiers sang loudly as Kai Ge was slowly moving forward. On top of his head are petals that keep falling, and black king flags are flying in the wind everywhere.

Many years later, people still talked about this huge city entrance ceremony. No one thought that the Higgs Kingdom, which had long been infiltrated by the economy in every corner, would give up everything so cleanly.

Everyone is welcoming the reign of Alan Hill, after all, the rule of Alan Hill is almost synonymous with wealth and power in this era. On the day Allan Hill's army entered Higgs, prices in the Higgs area dropped by about one-tenth.

"Ilan Hill! You are a great country! Ilan Hill! You are my mother!" A little boy followed the grenadiers step by step, and he sang the Alan Hill region praising himself. National songs, childish voices make people around them laugh with good intentions.

And outside the city, in those inaccessible wilderness, the troops of the 2nd Army are also advancing. They were ordered to rush to the frontier of Higgs and take over the frontier defense between Higgs and the Holy Demon Empire.

Accompanied by these troops are vigorous war horses. Although they are trying their best to equip cars and tanks, Ailan Hill's troops are the same as Germany during World War II. They are seriously troubled by their own production capacity. They are still a certain distance from mechanization, and many places are not as calm as they seem. And ready.

"Hurry up! Let the engineers go first!" Standing at the intersection of the road, a second lieutenant who stayed to direct traffic stood on the roadbed, facing a 05mm howitzer dragged by a mule and horse in front of him. The soldier commanded loudly.

Many troops are sharing this muddy path. Many troops cannot appear in the sight of the Higgs people because of the need to keep secrets: Ailan Hill has not only strong soldiers, but also unparalleled machinery!

The first to pass was the newly equipped tanks of the 2nd Army. These 4 tanks stopped one by one on the side of the road, waiting for the security forces that opened in front to find out the road. These behemoths of steel, which can rampage on the battlefield without a horse, are still in absolute secrecy at this moment.

In addition, following these tank units, there is the Air Force Construction Corps of Ailan Hill. They need to quickly build a front-line field airport in Higgs, and then they can let the air force fighter units that are ready to enter Higgs to improve the air defense of the oil-producing area.

"We should let the Construction Corps drive over first... Damn it!" Looking at the muddy road that has been crushed by mules, horses and trucks, the ensign who directed the traffic frowned and complained.

As far as he could see, cement mixing trucks, power-generating trucks, and equipment dragged by mules and horses were densely paved throughout the road, and the new equipment of the Air Force Construction Corps that did not know the name had no end in sight.

Behind the crane followed a carriage full of tents and a jeep full of Air Force commanders in red uniforms, waiting boringly at the back of a supply truck filled with daily necessities and a washbasin hanging outside the door.

Farther away, the truck carrying the radar antenna looked as if it was filled with a steel fence in its compartment. The trucks following this truck were piled up with cables, rolled one by one, and the discs were clearly written with expensive and careful prompts.

Further behind, the old-fashioned, 30-mm anti-aircraft guns mounted on the wagon were drawn next to each other, and they were drawn by the warrior, waiting beside the tank unit. The grooms looked curiously at the tank driver who got off the car and rested, and didn't realize that the two of them were actually the same in nature.

This is already a modern force that is very close to the level of World War II, whether in terms of its weapons and equipment or the quality of its members, it is already very close to the level of the early stage of World War II.

"If it weren't for confidentiality, our speed would be twice as fast as we are now!" A passing artillery officer fanned himself with his hands while squinting his eyes and walked to the second lieutenant commanding the traffic and stopped.

The dust has already made his military uniform look a bit old. After all, it is a combat unit, and it is really inferior to the soldiers who have passed through the city and are responsible for relying on them. While complaining, he looked up at the street sign, as if he wanted to know how long he would have to run around in such a pitiful state.

The second lieutenant stood at attention and saluted, and while continuing to direct the traffic, he talked with the casually chatting colleague about the current situation: "Don't mention it! The 3rd Cavalry Division that walks on the road is estimated to be in Narang."

"They are serious cavalry divisions. Of course they move faster." The artillery officer watched his line of men pass in front of him, paused and then shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Go to the next intersection. Give way to the mechanized troops! Bastard! Run!"

Hearing his scolding, the artillery pushed the 75mm infantry guns around them even harder. With their efforts, the horse in front finally pulled the cannon out of the deep rut and continued to move forward quickly.

"Don't rain... I pray that it won't rain." The artillery commander looked at the deep ruts, imagined the road conditions after the rain, and prayed: "If it rains, we estimate ten. I won’t be on the border until a year later."

"It won't be that long." The ensign who directed the traffic smiled and comforted: "Even if it rains, it is estimated that five years will be enough."

In their laughter, the sky was still clear, and a little bit of doubt clouded. Soon the laughter of these two crows’ mouths stopped, and what followed was a crazy urge: “Hurry up! It’s going to rain! If you don’t want to get in the rain, just leave me quickly! Hurry in the rain!"

In summer, the rainy season for Higgs really came as soon as it was said. On the second day when Ailan Hill’s troops drove into Higgs, the heavy rain came as scheduled, just like the Emperor Ailan Hill who was trying on his new wedding gown. Your Majesty is in the same mood...
