vs 43 The Death of the Seven Days 3
The flood control duty is so tiring, and this time the typhoon really has too much impact
Although the whole city has not been devastated by the war and the buildings are intact, there are some details that cannot be hidden from those who care. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Just as the wrinkles on a person's body can indicate his age, the gloomy atmosphere that permeates the sky over the city itself indicates that the city has not many inhabitants, if not an empty city.
At the junction of the city and the tent area, there is a square, capable of accommodating five or six thousand people in size. But in the end, only half of the people in the square were gathered, so from this point of view, there must be more than 10,000 refugees (presumably war refugees) on the side.
A small platform had been erected on one side of the square, and there were quite a few soldiers around. Looking at this scene, Lu Wu realized what was going to happen.
What happened next can actually be described in one sentence on the earth, that is, "catch the strong".
After a brief screening, those who were truly physically incapable of fighting, or for some other reason, were released, and the rest were declared to be temporarily called up to form a new force.
Personally, it may be unexpected, but when you think about it, it's actually normal. If an army in defeat has a surplus of weapons and equipment, destroying it is not the best policy. If possible, arming a new army (or rather, cannon fodder) with this equipment is the best strategy.
In fact, any commander in his right mind would make this choice. Especially when they can easily find troops.
Of course, people who have never touched a weapon at all cannot become soldiers, so about 1,000 recruits, including Lu Wu, received a day-long military training.
That's right, not a year, not a month, not a week, just one day. In fact, from Lu Wu's point of view, even "one day" is obviously a big discount. This day is not even as good as a normal eight-hour work on Earth. Because according to the original notice, everyone should have spent two hours practicing the use of weapons and equipment, two hours of basic tactical action learning, two hours of understanding the basic knowledge of military affairs, of course, two hours of ideological education, and two hours of other knowledge learning, for a total of ten hours. Coupled with the necessary time for resting and eating, comrades-in-arms getting acquainted with each other, etc., this training should last from dawn to dark, which is very busy. But in fact, by the afternoon, most of the recruits were already herding sheep there.
As for the reason, it is also very simple. There was no intention at all to really see the newly formed army as an army. This judgment is quite scientifically sound—if a day's training can train some kind of intelligent creature into a qualified soldier, then that creature is certainly not human.
Thankfully, the commander of the recruits couldn't be a recruit. Lu Wu's squad of ten people was sent to a middle-aged officer. By Earth's standards, this is a tall, thin foreigner, with dark hair, a high nose, and a bitter look on his face despite wearing the exact same uniform as a bunch of recruits. To put it mildly, the bitter face squad leader is like a tragic man who has been unemployed for three months but still has a wife and children to support, revealing a decadent atmosphere from head to toe.
It should be noted that the military establishment of this world is very different from the three-three system that is generally prevalent on the earth, and on the contrary, it is closer to the decimal system of the classical era of the earth. In fact, in Lu Wu's view, the military establishment in this world seems to be very arbitrary. A squad can have seven to ten people (not including officers), five to ten squads can form a squadron, and likewise five to ten squadrons can form a brigade. A higher establishment or something, the chief didn't teach, and Lu Wu didn't ask about it. But the freewheeling taste of the formation of the lower ranks is already obvious. Not to mention anything else, a full-strength brigade can theoretically range in number from the highest 1,000 to the lowest 175. There is a five-fold difference between the two.
If an officer from Earth comes, he will probably be dumbfounded. For example, if the commander sends a brigade to the army field, if the army is not directly subordinate to him and does not know the specific situation of the brigade, it is estimated that the commander does not know whether his unit will form an superior or inferior force at all.
But this is the normal state of the world. Or rather, it's the rule of the world.
There are many more incomprehensible things besides that. For example, the general-purpose rifle that Lu Wu got his hands on - yes, this is the kind of weapon that Lu Wu saw on the battlefield before - is one of them. This firearm is completely unserviceable. The soldiers on the earth, or the people who play with guns, all know how to disassemble and oil weapons, maintain and maintain them (Lu Wu has seen J do this). But this world is different, weapons are not dismantling, or rather, there is no consideration for soldiers to repair and maintain them. The principle of this firearm is unknown, but it has two ports, one of which fires a standard bullet - in fact, it is a metal or ceramic projectile, not very large, about the size of a thumb fingernail. The effective range of the bullet is much less than that of Earth's weapons. Lu Wu remembered that the effective range of AK47 on the earth could reach 400 meters, and the bullet could be lethal two or three kilometers away. The effective range of this firearm is only two hundred meters, as for how far it can really hit. Well, even the officers don't know, of course, they don't care about this. Lu Wu could only guess the power of this bullet, only the extent of the early musket, that is, the flintlock pistol.
As for rifling, conical bullets that can stabilize the trajectory by rotation, and so on? I'm sorry, but the weapons designers of this world don't seem to have this concept.
The other is called a "non-standard port", which can be used to fire anything solid that is larger than a standard bullet (smaller than a magazine, of course), including small stones that can be picked up on the side of the road at any time. The only difference between this bullet and the standard bullet is that it cannot be fired in bursts.
From this point of view, the energy of this firearm, which fires bullets, should be hidden in the firearm itself. And the previous encounters have proved it. Broken weapon fragments are capable of exploding like grenades.
To sum up, Lu Wu felt that the high-tech content of this gun was higher than that of the earth, but the advantages and disadvantages were equally obvious. The disadvantage is that compared with earth weapons, the range is short, the power is small, and the advantage is that the bullet carrying capacity is large, and there is almost no risk of "running out". And it shoots very softly, the recoil is also small, there is no maintenance trouble, and it is very suitable for novices.
Thinking of the footage of the black uncles of the earth firing their guns indiscriminately into the sky, Lu Wu had to admit that this kind of firearm is really suitable for use with miscellaneous cannon fodder.
The problem is that now he himself is a member of the "miscellaneous cannon fodder". It's not a joy to be happier.
The result of Lu Wuyi's day's training, if anything, is to learn how to use this universal rifle. In fact, Lu Wu, as a soldier, has the only weapon that is this general-purpose rifle, and as for the higher-level weapons, such as artillery, bazookas, grenade launchers, etc., then I'm embarrassed. Not to mention grenadiers and the like, there are not even grenades in the army.
Considering that the army was defeated and retreated, and that this was only a temporary patchwork of cannon fodder troops, the lack of heavy firepower was not incomprehensible. But to say that there are no weapons like grenades is really incredible. You know, on Earth, this type of weapon is often considered more important than guns.
However, no one seemed to have any thoughts about this, so Lu Wu could only hide his doubts in his stomach.
In the afternoon, the leader of the Kumian squad brought ten subordinates to the side. Originally, Lu Wu thought that the new captain of the squad was going to give a lecture. All ten soldiers of a squad, including Lu Wu, stood in a row, and then the squad leader looked at the right from the left, and then from the right to the left. It seemed as if the Captain of the Bitter Face Squad wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said one word. "Everyone, pack your gear and leave tomorrow. The enemy may be coming soon. ”
"Wait, Captain, what is our enemy?" Lu Wu finally found an opportunity to ask. The previous instructor (that is, he taught for several hours) didn't look at the recruits seriously at all, and had a casual attitude, but he had a stinky face that others owed him three million debts and had not repaid, so that Lu Wu didn't even ask this question. "I mean, those monsters. ”
"I don't know. The Captain of the Bitter Noodles team replied.
"Don't know?" this answer made Lu Wu stunned. Then he looked at the faces of his colleagues, and it seemed that no one but him, an impostor, thought the issue was worth caring.
Then he realized that this was not Earth. Considering the information provided by the master and Amber, now that the people of this world have mastered the ability to travel through the Aether Sea (the master even calls them the most fearsome bandits in the Aether Sea), it is no surprise that the "inhuman intelligent race" or anything is no longer surprising.
Seeing that kind of creature on Earth is estimated to cause a global tremor. But in this world, it seems that even the most low-ranking ordinary soldiers don't bother to care about the origin of these creatures.
"I guess the warlocks found it from another world. The captain of the bitter noodle squad said lightly. "There's not much information about these monsters at the moment, you just need to know one thing, and that's that they can be killed with guns. ”
"You seem curious?" asked a recruit next to him. As mentioned earlier, this combination is very hasty, and almost all of the recruits don't know each other, and Lu Wu's only impression of the one next to him is that he has a big nose. He is also the only one in the entire team who looks like an Oriental except for Lu Wu.
Although the people of Wage don't seem to care about their looks, Lu Wu is an earthling after all, so looking at the big nose is naturally a little close. But it's a pity that this person doesn't seem to like Lu Wu to look at him, at least he ignores it.
To be honest, Lu Wu is still not sure about the whole situation. He has a lot of questions in his stomach, but unfortunately, in order not to reveal his identity (he is not sure what the consequences of revealing his identity will be), there are many questions that he does not dare to ask and cannot ask.
"A little. Lu Wu replied.
"I forgot to tell you something," the captain of the bitter noodles team may have sensed the atmosphere, or maybe he really just forgot to say it just now, but he interjected in time. "We are now the First Independent Brigade in the Banshee's Gate region. Don't underestimate this number, this is a formation that was personally approved by the consul, which means that we are all full-fledged soldiers......"
Before the squad leader could finish his words, a sharp and piercing voice swept through the entire square.
"Enemy attack, assemble!"
Enemy Attack? Lu Wusi looked around, but he couldn't see any enemy attack, only the frightened recruits everywhere.
"All troops are attacking! The enemy is attacking the refugee camp!"
