The production of new aircraft is still only far away, and it cannot quench the thirst of the near future. What Alan Hill has to face now is the demon army, and it is a direct attack from the main force.

Chris could have abandoned Ferry City and used nuclear weapons to attack it when the demonic forces landed - but Ferry City is unlike any other place, it is the traditional core of Ellan Hill.

Destroying this place, not only Chris can't accept it, but most of the high-level people in Iran Hill can't accept it. In everyone's opinion, if you try your best to be defeated in a battle, it's another thing to give up Ferry City on your own initiative.

"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 one of the generals sitting in front of him.

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

"However, as soon as the flood waters in Ferry City receded, it was basically impossible to build a defensive position on the mud and sand......" Chris asked again, remembering this.

"Yes, the 15th Army was ordered to build defensive positions in the city, but there wasn't much terrain they could use." The general bowed his head and continued to answer.

In fact, there was really nothing too good to do, and a soldier of the 15th Army wiped the sweat from his forehead, propped up the new QGF Kevlar helmet above his head with his hand, and looked at the vicious sun above his head with a twisted brow.

"Damn weather!" Frustratedly, he shoveled the sand from the street into the sandbag, and then looked at the sea water seeping out around the sandbag.

The flood receded from Ferry City, but it could not take with it all that it had brought with it. Fish carcasses can still be found in some houses, and there are sunken and wrecked ships stuck between buildings on several streets.

There was sand everywhere, and the troops who arrived later had to fill it with sandbags and transport it to the designated location to build fortifications.

"Isn't it...... The place was so flooded that we couldn't build fortifications, so we had to rely on the blocks of the building to set up a defensive line......" another soldier beside him also complained.

Their weapon, the AK-47 rifle that had just been distributed, was a new type of weapon that had just been equipped with the troops, which were equipped only with the 15th and 16th armies.

As the war progressed, the higher-ups of Ellan Hill finally admitted that their already terrible production capacity began to tighten slightly.

So, they finally gave up their insistence, discontinued the Mauser 98K and STG-44 assault rifles, and installed AK-47 automatic rifles - of course, the mass-produced AKM rifle was actually the AKM rifle of the Earth civilization, but it was named AK-47 by Chris.

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

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

Previously, he was more optimistic about the M4 automatic rifle with high accuracy and full range of accessories and stronger combat effectiveness. But reality slapped him in the face again...... Today's production accuracy cannot keep up with the demand, and the M4 rifle can only be equipped with a small number of troops, and it is impossible to complete large-scale reloading.

The Elanhill infantry, which had been slow to be equipped with more advanced weaponry, could only fight with the Mauser 98K rifle, which was obviously outdated. What's even more ridiculous is that the war has been going on for almost nine months, and half of Iran Hill's soldiers are still armed with Mauser rifles.

This is simply a kind of irony for Chris, not long ago, the emperor finally put aside his face for the second time and ordered the factory to start producing AK-47 assault rifles for the new army group that was formed later.

At the same time, he also issued an order to change the caliber of the MG-42 machine gun to 7.62 mm, which was considered to maintain the supply of logistical weapons and ammunition to a certain extent.

However, the entire refitting process still can't cover the whole army immediately, and can only be eliminated little by little and the inventory cleared little by little.

As a result, an interesting phenomenon emerged, the main 1st and 2nd armies still have a third of the infantry using the old Mauser 98K, using STG assault rifles, while the newly formed 15th Army, the 16th Army, has been massively equipped with AK-47 assault rifles.

It was not only rifle weapons that were replaced, but also other weapons and equipment of the army group. For example, the 15th Army has also been strengthened by the missile units directly under it because of the proximity of the defense area to the key defenses.

A whole regiment of Scud missiles, as well as two brigades of mobile anti-aircraft missile units, plus the replenishment of individual anti-aircraft missiles, the air defense of the entire 15th Army is very strong.

While a few soldiers were cleaning up the sand and gravel from the streets, a truck with wet wheels passed where they were.

The back of the truck was filled with seafood, and the murky water flowed through the cracks. The carriage was filled with sandbags that had been filled with sea sand, ready to be transported to the defensive line outside the city to reinforce the position.

There were also two soldiers with shovels on the truck, casually buttoning steel helmets and military uniforms open to their chests, revealing their sweaty chests.

The commander-in-chief of the 15th Army was a veteran general who was a veteran of the Arrant Empire, who later surrendered to Irranhill 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 decent, old-fashioned, and it can be regarded as raising the average age of senior generals in Iran Hill.

Otherwise, the empire of Iran Hill is about to become a kindergarten in the eyes of other empires: the Minister of Defense, Duke Castera, 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, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is 42 years old......

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

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

The old general is still strong and looks radiant, and because he is an old nobleman, he still has a long sword on the new military uniform, which is an alternative among all the generals.

He was standing on the battery at Ferry City, discussing the defensive arrangements with the battery commander and the commander of the 15th Air Force that supported him.

"The front of our defense is actually not too wide, and the beach defense line is the most vulnerable area, so I decided to put the tank division in this position to prevent the enemy from breaking through from the flank." Madias pointed to the map, and there was no sadness or joy on his stereotyped face.

He pressed the ornate saber at his waist, and his untimely appearance looked rather funny, but the old general still had two brushes, because he was one of Chris's few steady commanders.

Those young generals in their 30s are good at attacking and fighting, and Modryel and Wilkes are also commanders with a balance of offense and defense, but they are not as steady as Madias.

This old man is a turtle at all, and when he was in the Arrant Empire, he was famous for the "three non-wars" - so as soon as he opened his mouth, he began to allocate troops, and he stood still.

His nickname means that he never fights the enemy in three situations: he never fights until his forces outnumber his opponents; He never fought until the preparations for his troops were complete, and he never fought until he was fully aware of his opponent's intentions - so he fought a battle all his life and never lost......

In other words, this old man only fights with the wind, and if he is weak, he immediately retreats to defend, and he is cautious without exception, so he has never lost in his life.

After he took over the 15th Army, he branded this unit with his character: wherever this group army went, the first thing it did was to dig a defensive line, and it was a large deep defensive line, and the ring fortifications were wrapped around the ring fortifications, like a gossip array.

The commanders of the whole army were familiar with the motto of the commander of this group army: as soon as the troops stopped, they must start digging trenches......

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, build barracks...... and now the slogan is in step with the times, but the long sword at his waist has not kept up with the pace of the times.

"The news brought back by the reconnaissance planes we sent out that a few of the Devil's Navy warships have appeared near the open sea...... "The commander of the 15th Air Force of the Air Force introduced.

A large long-range reconnaissance plane was intercepted during reconnaissance, and the effect was not very obvious. However, fighter jets can also conduct reconnaissance, but the range is limited. The advantage of using fighter reconnaissance is that it is faster and safer, and the disadvantage is that the distance of reconnaissance is relatively reduced.

Now that the enemy has reached the doorstep, it is no longer a problem to have a short reconnaissance distance, so the air force has also begun to make frequent sorties to reconnoiter the situation in the nearby sea areas.

The matter of the demon fleet scattering and killing Ferry City is now well known to everyone. So after hearing that the Demon Navy appeared in the offshore sea, everyone didn't have any expressions of surprise.

"The range that the battery can cover is relatively safe...... However, the enemy's landing force. The battery commander pointed to the beach overlooking him and said to General Madias.

"The counter-attack is a matter for the reserves, and my requirement is that under the attack of the enemy, as long as my front-line positions are not lost, then the enemy will not be able to stand on the coastline!" General Madias pointed to the map and said confidently: "The problem now is that this defense line still needs time to deploy!" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency...... What we lack now is time. The battery commander shrugged his shoulders and complained.
