Chapter 299: tortoise

The production of new aircraft is still far from the water, and it cannot quench the thirst of the near future. Ailan Hill now has to face the demon force, and it is the direct attack of the main force.

Although Chris can abandon Ferry City and use nuclear weapons to attack after the demon forces land, Ferry City is different from other places. This is the traditional core area of ​​Ailan Hill.

Destroying this place is not just Chris who can't accept it, but most of the top Alan Hill can't accept it. In everyone's eyes, it is one thing to try your best to be defeated in a battle, and it is another thing to take the initiative to abandon Ferry City.

"Let the 15th Army set up a defensive line near Ferry City as soon as possible. I heard that today, the flood there has almost receded?" Chris asked a general sitting in front of him.

The general nodded and replied, "Yes, there is still silt on the city streets, but as a whole, there is no problem."

"However, the flood in Ferry City has just receded, and it is basically impossible to build defensive positions on the silt and beach..." Chris remembered this and asked again.

"Yes, the 15th Army was ordered to rely on the city to establish defensive positions, but the terrain they can use is actually not much." The general lowered his head and continued to answer.

The actual situation is indeed that there is no good way. A soldier of the 15th Army wiped the sweat from his forehead, supported the brand new qgf Kevlar helmet on the top of his head with his hands, and twisted his brows to look at the viciousness on the top of his head. The sun.

"This **** weather!" Depressed, he shoveled the sea sand from the street into the sandbag with a spade, and then watched the sea water seeping out around the sandbag.

The flood receded from Dukou City, but could not take away all the things it brought. Fish carcasses can still be found in some houses, and ships that have overturned and destroyed on several streets are stuck between buildings.

There were sea sand everywhere, and the troops who arrived later had to fill the sea sand with sandbags, and then transport it to the designated location to build a fortification.

"Isn't it... This place is flooded, and there is no way to build fortifications. We can only rely on the building blocks to lay out the line of defense..." Another soldier beside him also complained.

Their weapon, the ak-47 rifle that has just been distributed, is a new type of weapon that has just been equipped with troops. Only the 15th and 16th armies are equipped with this weapon.

As the war progressed, the senior officials of Ailan Hill finally admitted that their already terrifying production capacity began to tighten slightly.

As a result, they finally gave up their persistence, discontinued the production of Mauser 98k and stg-44 assault rifles, and installed the ak-47 automatic rifle. Of course, the mass production is actually the akm rifle in the earth’s civilization, but it was denied. Reese named it ak-47.

This weapon is easy to produce and inexpensive, more reliable than the slightly expensive stg-44, and more suitable for large-scale equipment.

In infantry weapons, Chris, who has all the earth's technological civilization, has to admit once again that he made a serious mistake in the choice of weapons.

Before, he was more optimistic about the m4 automatic rifle with high precision and complete accessories and more powerful combat effectiveness. But the reality once again brutally slapped him in the face... Today's production accuracy can't keep up with the demand, and the m4 rifle can only be equipped with a small number of troops, unable to complete a large-scale change.

The Ailan Hill infantry, who has been unable to change to more advanced weapons and equipment, can only fight with the obviously outdated Mauser 98k rifle. What makes people laugh or cry even more is that the war has been fought for almost 9 months, and half of Ailan Hill's soldiers are holding Mauser rifles.

This is simply a kind of irony to Chris. Not long ago, the emperor finally put down his face for the second time and ordered the factory to start producing ak-47 assault rifles to equip the newly formed army.

He also issued an order to change the caliber of the mg-42 machine gun to 7.62 mm, which can be regarded as maintaining the supply of logistic weapons and ammunition to a certain extent.

However, the entire refurbishment process still cannot cover the entire army immediately, and can only eliminate a little bit of inventory.

Ever since, an interesting phenomenon appeared. The main infantry of the 1st and 2nd Army and one-third of the infantry used the old Mauser 98k and the STG assault rifle, and the newly formed 15th Army, the 16th Army , But the ak-47 assault rifle has been installed on a large scale.

The replacement of equipment is not only rifle weapons, but also other weapons and equipment of the group army. For example, the 15th Army has been strengthened by its direct missile forces because its defense zone is close to key defenses.

A whole regiment of Scud missiles and two brigades of air defense missile maneuver units, including the supplement of individual air defense missiles, the air defense force of the entire 15th Army is very strong.

While several soldiers were cleaning up the gravel on the street, a truck with wet wheels passed by where they were.

The trunk of the truck seemed to be carrying seafood, and turbid sea water was flowing from the gap. The carriage was filled with sandbags filled with sea sand, ready to be transported to the defense line outside the city to reinforce the position.

There are also two soldiers on the truck with spades, their helmets buckled at random, and their military uniforms with their chests open, revealing their sweaty chests.

The commander-in-chief of the 15th Army was an old general. This man was a veteran of the Arrant Empire. He later surrendered to Allan Hill along with the Arrant region and has served in the military to this day.

If you look at the resume, this veteran general can be regarded as quite satisfactory, mature and respectful, and it can be regarded as raising the average age of the senior generals of Ailan Hill.

Otherwise, the empire of Ailan Hill will soon become a kindergarten in the eyes of other empires: the Duke of Kastner, the secretary of defense, is 44 years old, the commander-in-chief of the army is 36 years old, the commander-in-chief of the air force is 30 years old, the commander-in-chief of the navy is 42 years old...

The 1st Army Commander is 27 years old, the 2nd Army Commander is 30 years old, the 3rd Army Commander is 48 years old, the 4th Army Commander is 43 years old, the 5th Army Commander is 25 years old, the 6th Army Commander is 39 years old, and the 7th Army Commander is 50 years old. The commander of the 9th Army is 23 years old (still a woman)...

Now, the veteran general of the 15th Army, Medias, is 62 years old, and he finally has a decent commander in his age.

The old general is still sturdy and looks radiant, and because he is from an old nobleman, he is still equipped with a long sword in the new military uniform, which is an alternative among all generals.

At this moment, he was standing on the fort of Ferry City, discussing the defensive arrangement with the commander of the fort and the commander of the 15th Air Force who supported him.

"The front we want to defend is actually not too wide. The beach defense line is the most vulnerable area. I decided to put the tank division on this position to prevent the opponent from breaking through the flank." Medias pointed to the map with a rigid face. There is no expression of sadness and joy on it.

He pressed the gorgeous saber around his waist and looked funny in an untimely appearance, but the old general still had two brushes, because he was a rare stable commander under Chris.

Those young generals around the age of 30 are good offensive fighters. Modeller and Wilkes are also commanders of offensive and defensive balance, but they are not as stable as Medias.

This old man is simply a tortoise. When he was in the Arante Empire, he was famous for the "Three No Wars." So he opened his mouth and began to distribute his forces, and he stood still.

His nickname means that he never fights against the enemy in three situations: he will never fight until his troops surpass his opponent; he will never go to war until his troops are prepared, and he does not fully understand the opponent's intentions. He never fought before, so he fought a whole life and never lost...

In other words, this old man only fought a tailwind. If he was weak, he would immediately shrink up to defend himself. There is no exception to be cautious, so he has never lost his life.

After he took over the 15th Army, he imprinted his own character on this army: where the army went, the first thing was to dig the defense line, and it was a deep defense line. The ring fortifications were surrounded by ring fortifications, like gossip. So-so.

The commanders of the entire army are familiar with the motto of the commander of the group army: as long as the troops stop, they must start to dig trenches. Trenches are well dug, and fewer enemies die...

Of course, five years ago, this old man’s slogan was not like this. Five years ago, he said: "As long as the troops stop, we must build a fortress..." Now the slogan has kept pace with the times. The sword has not kept up with the pace of the times.

"The news brought back by the reconnaissance plane we sent, the devil's naval warships, a few have appeared near the open sea..." the commander of the 15th Air Force of the Air Force introduced.

The large long-range reconnaissance plane was intercepted during the investigation, and the effect was not very obvious. But fighter jets can also carry out reconnaissance, but the scope is limited. The advantage of using fighter jets for reconnaissance is that it is faster and safer, but the disadvantage is that the detection distance is relatively reduced.

Now that the enemy has reached the door of the house, the short detection distance is no longer a problem, so the air force has begun to dispatch frequently to investigate the situation in the nearby waters.

Now everyone knows the fact that the demon fleet disperses and slays towards Ferry City. So after hearing the Demon Navy appear near the sea, everyone did not look too surprised.

"The range that the turret can cover is relatively safe... But, the enemy's landing troops." The commander of the turret pointed to the beach overlooking the beach, and said to General Medias.

"Counter-impact is a matter for the reserve team. My requirement is that under the enemy's attack, as long as my front line position is not lost, then the enemy will not be able to stand on the coastline!" General Midas pointed to the map confidently Said: "The problem now is that this line of defense still needs time to deploy!"

"Unfortunately, Your Excellency General... What we lack now is time." The fort commander shrugged his shoulders and said.
