Chapter 1356: service centre

The field fuel supply vehicles and maintenance units of the 15th Army of the Ailan Hill Empire have arrived at the front line, accompanied by these field fuel supply vehicles to the front line, as well as the puppet 2nd Panzer Corps, which also arrived on the Hope 2 planet.

This force is composed entirely of puppet troops, the only difference is that this puppet force is equipped with a large number of heavy weapons and equipment.

Unlike the lightly armed puppet infantry that maintains law and order, this unit has tanks and armored vehicles, and heavy weapons such as artillery.

At the same time, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the actual number of people in this unit is fifteen times that of ordinary heavy-armored grenadier units. That is to say, the 16th Panzer Army consists of more than 1 million puppet soldiers.

An army of such a large scale is naturally not prepared for the development of the planet or maintaining public order on weekdays. Its main mission is to engage in frontal decisive battles with enemy forces.

Because of the number, this unit has always been in a dissatisfied non-combat state on weekdays, and most of the time it only retains its own headquarters and organization.

However, this time the Airanhill Empire began to attach importance to Planet Hope 2. Such a force that could not even be described as existence in ordinary days was immediately armed.

Although it is a heavy unit, the theoretical combat effectiveness of this unit is not high. Its only role is to help the Ailan Hill Empire maintain sufficient equipment on the front line and maintain a longer line of defense.

Also because of the precious equipment, this unit is equipped with a large number of weapons that have been eliminated from the main force of the Ailan Hill Empire, which can be regarded as a model of waste utilization.

In a noisy battlefield environment, an M4 tank full of puppet soldiers rolled its tracks and rumbled past the road beside it. Following this M4 tank was a CA-10C full of puppet infantry. Type heavy truck.

This kind of truck has a resounding name in China: "Great Liberation", and because of its sturdiness and durability, this truck that can carry about 4 tons of cargo also has a resounding name in the Ailan Hill Empire: "Small Moving Mountain Beast" .

The Allanhill Empire has always produced this kind of car, in fact it has never stopped. In the past ten years, 400,000 vehicles of this kind of car have been produced, which is almost the largest type of heavy truck produced in the Allan Hill Empire.

Until now, on remote planets, in some places with relatively backward economic conditions, this truck is still the main force of transportation.

This is also the status quo of the Ailan Hill Empire. Many places can still see the shadow of 1930 or even 1910, while other places are more advanced than 2075.

Behind the Jiefang truck is another Jiefang truck. The cabin of this rustic Jiefang truck is covered with rustic canvas, and it is also written with a reminder that fireworks are prohibited. It is obviously a transporter of ammunition. truck.

Rows of puppets are carrying weapons and walking on both sides of the roadbed. This is also the standard marching method of the Ailan Hill Empire Heavy Army. Because it is a puppet unit, the sequence of marching looks much more neat.

The standard 105mm caliber howitzer is also an old style, and now this howitzer is no longer seen in the main frontline troops.

However, there are still many troops equipped with this old style of artillery. For example, there are more than a dozen such cannons in the Doom Star's guard unit.

In the maintenance camp of the 15th Army, next to the M4 tank that was disassembled into parts, a greasy maintenance technician screwed a screw on the engine while cursing the generals of the logistics unit.

"These **** corrupt people! They all deserve to go to hell! The emperor gave them trust. That's how they served their country? M4! They can do it too!" He threw the board in his hand and picked it up from the ground. Turns off the screw, the mechanic wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

It's okay if you don't wipe it. With this wipe, the black dusty lubricating oil is left on his face, making his look even more embarrassed.

"For a younger mechanic, he can't understand how to remove this thing!" The non-commissioned officer with a beard on his face snorted and looked at the puppet who was wiping the tank barrel with a cleaning rod. soldier.

The puppet will do simple maintenance work by itself, but some sophisticated maintenance work can still only be done by humans.

Because even in the civilian industry, the production capacity of the high-precision robots used in the automated production of puppets is only a fraction of the demand.

Every planet needs high-precision production robots, and the natural army is no longer in its turn. What's more, wars no longer exist before, and a lot of resources are leaning towards civilian industry, so the army can only wait honestly. .

"The tanks of the First Armored Army are already using motors, the Second Armored Army is still using 99D, the Third Armored Army is all 99C, the Fourth Armored Army is equipped with 99B, the Fifth Armored Army is still using 99, the sixth The T-72 of the Panzer Army has not been eliminated yet..."

"Then we are here for endless repairs to these miscellaneous soldiers! M4 tanks! This thing is still using a 90mm short-barreled gun! What a joke!" He pointed to the car without a front face, and the gearbox was blocked. The tank on the side spit out.

"Let's bear it, I heard that these tanks were not produced for our own army before, but export models... It seems that they are used by the border guards of the Eternal Empire?" I glanced at the production batches engraved on the engine. Number, the bearded sergeant shook his head and said.

These tanks were originally exported to Greken, the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, and were later returned to part of the new puppet area as aid materials.

Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, these tanks are really rotten to the extreme. It is nothing more than a waste of resources when transported to other planets, so they can only be used as reserve materials in Ailan Xiris.

As a result, the Puppet Armored 2nd Army was so cheap that it became the standard weaponry of this unit.

However, in the hands of puppets, these backward weapons and equipment have a good advantage, that is, they are durable and conform to the habits of cheap combat puppet robots.

In other words, too complex technical and tactical action puppets can't handle it by themselves, just use some simple weapons, so that they can better display the performance of the weapon itself.

"What can I do if I can't bear it? Look at the tank we use by ourselves, directly hoisting the power module, and immediately drove away." The mechanic with oil on his forehead rubbed his clothes with his hand, and then grabbed it. He took a sip from the cup and said helplessly.
