Chapter 503: Not enough

In the camp where rows of m4 tanks are parked, the main force of the 9th Armored Division 9th Division of the 9th Army Group of Ailan Hill is enjoying a leisurely holiday.

The demon forces marching eastward have been almost wiped out, and the activity of the Magic Eye near Griken has also been reduced to the lowest level in the past few months, and the combat missions of the 9th Army Group have been greatly reduced.

Even the commander of the group army can go home to participate in the human creation movement, and you can imagine how strong the fighting intensity is for the remaining people.

The main affairs of the current 9th Army Group are all handled by General Alfred, and most of the troops are also on holiday or in a state of secondary alert.

Because of the production capacity of the T-72 tanks, the tank units of the 9th Army Group have not yet replaced this new type of tank. The m4 tanks are still used here, and many weapons and equipment remain in the state of the last update.

Take the artillery, for example, most of the self-propelled artillery units on the southern front have been replaced with new-style m-109 self-propelled artillery, and here are almost all priest self-propelled artillery.

The same is true for the Scud missile unit. It has not been refurbished. It has only updated the supplementary missiles. The launch vehicle is still the old-fashioned one, and there is not much change.

Although some anti-aircraft missiles have been added, most of them are still outdated models by comparison, and Hawker and others account for the vast majority. There are few Patriot air defense missiles, let alone the advanced Patriot 2 missile system.

The radar base station established by Grecan is also very primitive, and most of the technology here is still in the state of the latter part of World War II. The troops are also using some ancient weapons. Although most soldiers have replaced the stg-44 and ak-47, they still have not completely eliminated the outdated Mauser 98k rifle.

Compared with the troops operating in the real core area, the troops here are not equipped with weapons, and even the air force with good maneuverability is extremely slow in changing gears.

Because the supporting facilities of the front-line airport cannot be updated in time, the 9th Army of the Air Force, which is covering the operations of the 9th Army Group, is still equipped with old-fashioned MiG-21 fighters. Although it has been updated and transformed into a more advanced version, it is still MiG-21. It's just a fighter jet.

In comparison, the troops deployed in the southern theater of the empire have been replaced with f-16 fighters, and the troops deployed in the core area have all been using f-15 fighters.

Even the command system, the 9th Army Group lags behind the overall update level of Ailan Hill. The command system here is still at the level of the latter part of World War II, which is far behind the advanced and close to the overall level of Ailan Hill during the Gulf War. obvious.

To put it bluntly, this expeditionary force, the farthest from the mainland of Ailanhill, is actually getting less and less attention, and Gricken has no urgent needs, requesting Ailanhill to increase the combat effectiveness of the 9th Army Group.

To be more precise, after completing the modernization of the two armies and raising the country's combat capability, Greken is no longer willing to increase the strength of the troops of other countries stationed in the country.

This is also human nature. No country hopes that the troops stationed in other countries in its own country will become stronger and stronger-of course, it does not count as strange as the Republic of Korea.

Since Greken wasn't interested, Ailan Hill was not in a hurry to strengthen, and the 9th Army Group became a forgotten corner.

A tank commander who was repairing parts of the tank, covered in oil, put the wrench on the cold steel of the tank, looked back at the officer who came to him, stood up and saluted, and looked at him curiously. .

The officers who came were not affiliated with the 9th Group Army. They were from the Imperial Military Logistics Management Department and were affiliated with the teaching troops.

"Second Lieutenant Lane! We are officers of the Imperial Army Teaching Headquarters. This time we are here to seek your personal opinion. If you agree, we plan to transfer talents like you to the teaching unit to serve." The major, speaking gently, explained his intentions.

This is also an important link in the improvement of the military's combat effectiveness. After a long time on the front line, there is a chance to be transferred to the teaching headquarters and become a military instructor.

Everyone who can become a military instructor is a veteran with actual combat experience, tenacious fighting will, and excellent combat skills.

They have gone through various battles on the front line, have comprehensive combat experience and actual combat skills, and are the absolute elite and backbone of each unit.

It would be a waste of talents for elites like this to stay on the front lines. Ailan Hill has drafted a veteran promotion charter. As long as he has accumulated a certain number of battles on the front line, he can apply for retirement and return home.

Similarly, if you clearly choose soldiers who are not willing to retire and go home, they can also be promoted in the army or transferred to a more relaxed department.

For example, armored forces, theoretically, as long as they reach the super trump card, that is, destroy 50 targets of the enemy, they have the opportunity to be transferred to the training department to serve as instructors.

Training troops are divided into military-level, group-army-level, group-army-group level, and the highest imperial teaching headquarters directly under the troops.

In theory, these troops do not need to fight on the front lines, but only need to be responsible for training and assessing supplementary troops and new troops within the troops, so that these follow-up troops can reach a higher level of training.

Ryan has been fighting with the 9th Army Group for so long, and is also one of the first candidates to be promoted and transferred to the training headquarters.

He looked at each other, his light blue eyes did not blink, as if trying to make a choice.

For this kind of veteran, abandoning the dangerous front-line combat mission, in fact, there will be a kind of reluctance to give up. It is not easy for them to leave their comrades who fought **** battles with them, and to leave their familiar tanks.

You know, there are many elites in the army who have clearly rejected the option of being transferred to the training army. Among them is the famous air combat ace, known as the black skeleton super ace fighter pilot Orank.

The super ace pilot Yilan Raymond, who had already completed the attack aircraft support mission but was still on the front line, did not intend to leave the frontline air force.

However, for an ordinary person, being promoted and returning to work in a stable rear is also a tempting thing.

No matter how unaccustomed it is, it is obviously a better choice to stay with your lover, get a higher military rank, receive a higher salary, and get a decent job.

And choosing these needs to pay, just can't continue to face the killing, without a lot of crazy pleasure.

If you give this choice to someone who has never been on the battlefield, a fool will also choose the latter option. But for a man who has been on the battlefield, it is really tangled.

"Think slowly, Lieutenant Ryan, you know that if you are willing to stay on the front lines, we will also routinely provide you with a recommendation to promote you to lieutenant immediately." The major touched the car that was kept very close. Good m4 tank, said to Ryan.

Ryan nodded slightly, then glanced at the news and heard the news. The gunner, the loader, the driver and the electrician who had gathered together all showed a wry apologetic smile on their faces.

"I'm sorry, I decided to go back, I'm sorry." Ryan lowered his head and apologized in a voice that could only be heard by himself.

"Don't be stupid! You are what everyone wants to see if you can go back!" The gunner stretched out his hand, patted Ryan's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "We all hope you can go back, and we hope anyone can leave. Here. This is the battlefield, what a ghost place, not worthy of nostalgia."

"Yeah! Captain!" The mechanic also smiled and said, "You are a good commander. When you arrive at the general training, help other troops train more captains like you!"

With tears in his eyes, Ryan looked at his familiar men, not knowing what to say for a while.

"The right choice, Lieutenant Ryan...or rather, Lieutenant Ryan! You will soon be promoted to two levels, so I congratulate you in advance." The major who came to accept the man smiled because he was willing to leave with him. There are not many soldiers.

Many people will choose to stay on the front lines in the end, and even such talents are the majority. Young Ailan Hill naturally has youthful vigor and passion, and even the soldiers are more fearless of life and death.

"You are not the comrades who betrayed the front line, you just changed the way of fighting! You have to remember this clearly! When you arrive at the rear, there will naturally be directions you need to work hard on, and cultivate qualified armored warfare commanders for the country. Your work is also very important!" The major of the teaching department in a good mood said two words of his own understanding and feelings to Ryan, which can be regarded as comforting Ryan.

After speaking, he handed a printed certificate to Ryan: "Okay! You have 2 days to say goodbye to your comrades. Then pack your personal belongings, take this certificate, and take the ride. By plane or train, return to the Higgs area and report to the Division Headquarters of the 2nd Armored Instructor."

According to the requirements of the troops, such elites have a short holiday when they are transferred to the training troops. If they don't want to take a plane, they can also take the train and have fun along the way.

As long as they arrive at the registration location within the specified time, they are allowed to arrange the process themselves.

Ryan took the certificate and saw the steel seal of the eagle spreading its wings and his name printed on it. He didn't know what it was like.

He looked up again, looked at the old man who had been with him for a long time around him, looked at the mottled scars on the armor of this m4 tank, and finally reached out with a lot of emotion and rubbed it a few times.

Not enough to see, the scenery of this frontline, not enough to see...
