Chapter 227: Preparing for War

In a study room in the southwest town guard mansion in Ganyang City, Zhou Rui took the telegram sent by Xiang Tao and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiang Tao commanded the Zhou army to capture the entire barbarian empire, he rushed back to the Western Continent non-stop, and then Xiang Tao will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Army, the Yuzhou Army, the Lanzhou Army, the Weizhou Army and the Kezhou Army on the Western Continent.

In order to escort Xiang Tao back to the five feudal towns on the western continent, and to transport a batch of weapons and equipment and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers to the Jingzhou Army, the Yuzhou Army, the Lanzhou Army, the Weizhou Army, and the Kezhou Army, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet dispatched several main formations to escort the convoy this time.

It may be that the navies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear have not yet recovered from the fiasco in the Battle of Longjing Island, but anyway, several main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have not been hindered this time, and they have successfully escorted hundreds of transport ships full of weapons and equipment and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers to a port in Weizhou Town.

In order to avoid being broken by the combined fleets of the navies of the six countries, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was still not prepared to leave any of the main formations on the western continent, so after several main formations completed the escort mission, they immediately began to return home.

"Don't worry, with the strength of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town, and Kezhou Town, even if the sea passage between the two continents is cut off, those six beast countries may not be able to bargain for anything!" Zhou Xiaorong said in a deep voice.

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, "The people of Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town, and Kezhou Town have a monstrous hatred for the orcs, and the war mobilization of the five feudal towns this time is going very smoothly.

Today, each of the five towns has 1 guard division and 48 infantry divisions, and a large number of garrison regiments have been formed in the five towns, and the armed forces that can be mobilized add up to tens of millions of people.

Coupled with Xiang Tao's command, presumably even if the so-called Six ** Things Alliance does its best, it may not be able to eat these five feudal towns of our Zhou family. ”

Even without the need for intelligence, Zhou Rui could guess that the six beast nations would definitely concentrate their forces to solve Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town, and Kezhou Town first, so as to avoid worries, and then launch an attack on the Zhou family's territory in the Eastern Continent.

At this time, the fox in the study reported to Zhou Rui: "Dashuai, after the efforts of our 'ghost'.

Now the Black Bear Column, the Wild Bull Column and the Flying Leopard Column in the rebel army are all willing to accept the incorporation of our Zhou family.

The Red Tiger Column and the Golden Lion Column, because they are both controlled by Gu Longpeng, the commander-in-chief of the rebels, it is a little difficult to let these two columns take refuge in our Zhou family. ”

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said: "Although the armed forces of the rebels in various beast countries are not many, they have a great influence, so for the Red Tiger Column and the Golden Lion Column, you 'ghosts' have to continue to work hard."

As for the Black Bear Column, the Wild Bull Column, and the Flying Leopard Column, I will let Xiang Tao cooperate with your 'Ghost Shadow' to take over, and these three rebel forces may bring some big surprises to those three beast countries. ”

"Kill—"

In a village on the outskirts of Penghuai City, Jingzhou Town, nearly 1,000 young men were holding bayonet rifles and following some soldiers of the Jingzhou Army to practice assassination training.

Lu Ziqiang, the head of this village, said to a second lieutenant of the Jingzhou Army while smoking a cigarette bag and pot: "Brother Liu Fu, you only gather young people over the age of 18 and under the age of 35 for training.

But in our Lu family shop, there are at least more than 1,000 men who can hold guns, and more than 2,000 mothers-in-law and girls who dare to work hard.

For example, the old man, although he is fifty-three this year, he can still cut off the heads of those beast cubs! ”

Lujiapuzi is the name of this village.

Liu Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Lu, you must also know that this time our Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town and Kezhou Town have entered full preparations.

In addition to the infantry divisions in the feudal towns, even many garrison regiments in various places are short of weapons and ammunition, and our militia company in Lujiapu is finally equipped with 800 single-shot rifles, 160 hand-bolt repeating rifles and 10 machine guns, and there is really no way to arm more people. ”

According to Zhou Rui's order, in addition to the large-scale expansion of the Zhou army, each village and town in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Lanzhou, Weizhou, and Kezhou towns must set up a militia company, and the officers and men of each vassal army will be trained and commanded, and they will be responsible for solving the problem of weapons and equipment.

Village Chief Lu Ziqiang immediately said in a deep voice: "Brother Liu Fu, our Lu family shop is not far from the border defense line.

To put it mildly, once the orc army breaks through the border defense line, our Lu family shop is likely to be attacked by the orc army.

At that time, those beast cubs will not care whether you have weapons in your hands or not, and for those beast cubs, the men, women and children of our Lu family shop will know that there is no other choice but to work hard! ”

Liu Fu said with a serious expression: "Uncle Lu, don't worry!

I am now the company commander of the militia company of the Lu family shop, as long as I Liu Fu still has a breath, there is still one person alive in the militia company of the Lu family shop, and those beast cubs don't want to harm our fellow villagers of the Lu family shop!

What's more, our Jingzhou army has deployed millions of troops on the border defense line, and it is impossible for the beast army to easily break through the border defense line. ”

Liu Fu was actually only a deputy platoon commander of the Jingzhou Army, and this time he was ordered to lead 18 soldiers of the Jingzhou Army to Lujiapuzi to be responsible for the formation of the Lujiapuzi militia company and temporarily assumed the position of company commander of the militia company.

Village Chief Lu Ziqiang shook his head and said, "Brother Liu Fu, it's not that the old man can't believe you, it's really those beast cubs who are too cruel.

When Zhou Dashuai didn't take Jingzhou Town, many of our Lu family shops died at the hands of those beast cubs every year, and many of them were beaten to death for no reason.

Even if our Lu family shop is dead, we must not let those beast cubs come back! ”

After a pause, the village chief Lu Ziqiang continued: "Brother Liu Fu, do you think this will work?"

The rest of the young people, as well as those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, don't need your help to solve the weapons, I will ask the village blacksmith to make a batch of iron spear heads, and then let the carpenter make a batch of gun barrels.

A red tassel gun in one person's hand can still stab those orc cubs to death, so you can help train them! ”

Liu Fu was also born and raised in Jingzhou Town, which was the original Bauhinia Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Liu Fu knew how cruel the orcs treated humans, and even the young Liu Fu had seen his uncle beaten to death by two wolf clansmen on the street.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, the rest of the young and strong, as well as women, can train with the militia company, and they can be regarded as reservists of the militia company.

Although there were no rifles, the superiors sent a lot of grenades to our Lujiapu militia company, and we could give everyone two when the time came. ”

Village Chief Lu Ziqiang's eyes lit up, "The grenade is a good thing, and that thing will explode a lot."

But two grenades for one person is a bit less, five! Five grenades per person! ”

Liu Fu said in embarrassment: "Uncle Lu, two grenades per person has almost emptied the reserves of the militia company, and it is impossible to give everyone five grenades." ”

Village Chief Lu Ziqiang suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Brother Liu Fu, the three girls of the old Chen family in the east of the village, but the village flower of our Lu family's shop.

The old man and the old man Chen worshiped when they were young, you understand. ”

When Liu Fu heard this, his face turned red at first, and then he hurriedly explained: "Uncle Lu, I will ...... Chen Juan Nothing. ”

Village Chief Lu Ziqiang pursed his lips, "Brother Liu Fu, the old man is not blind.

You can rest assured, as long as the old man and I say a word, you don't even need a dowry, and you can make a decision with the three girls of the old Chen family in advance. ”

"That...... That one...... Uncle Lu, I have money, and there is no shortage of dowry. ”

"Haha, Brother Liu Fu, if you want to marry the girl of our Lu family's shop, do you have to express it?"

Liu Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Lu, the main reason is that there are too many people, and I can give each person three grenades at most." ”

"Good! That's it!

Brother Liu Fu, don't worry, your marriage with the three girls of the old Chen family is wrapped up in the old man! ”

In a bunker on the border defense line of Jingzhou Town, Sun Liang, who only had his right arm left, said to a lieutenant colonel beside him in a deep voice: "Old Yu, the area of the minefield still needs to be expanded, and when will the anti-tank guns that I asked for from the logistics department be delivered?" ”

After Sun Liang led the militia company under his command to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the 11 group armies of the Manniu Empire, Sun Liang's militia company was directly incorporated into the regular army because of its outstanding military achievements, and Sun Liang was directly promoted to deputy battalion commander.

By the time the Zhou family established Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town, and Kezhou Town, Sun Liang had been promoted to battalion commander and assigned to the Jingzhou Army.

With the expansion of the Jingzhou Army, Sun Liang has now been promoted to the commander of an infantry regiment in the 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army.

The lieutenant colonel beside Sun Liang is Sun Liang's deputy head of the regiment, and his name is Yu Ji.

Yu Ji said: "There are still a lot of mines left in our 2612 regiment, and it is completely possible to extend the minefield forward a distance."

The logistics department sent 6 50-mm anti-tank guns and 200 rounds of 50-mm armor-piercing shells to our 2612 regiment this morning. ”

The 2612 regiment in the 26 refers to the 26th Infantry Division of the Jingzhou Army, the 1 in the third place refers to the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 26th Infantry Division, and the 2 in the last place refers to the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

After the Zhou family's tank was born, the six orc countries began to develop tanks, a new type of army weapon, and now the armies of the six orc countries already have tank troops.

There are even a few orc countries, relying on the original accumulation of technology for tractors, and have also created heavy tanks weighing dozens of tons.

The tank troops of the Zhou family army are still dominated by Black Fox medium tanks and Black Cat light tanks, and they are only equipped with a small number of heavy tanks, all of which are opened by Zhou Rui from the lottery system.

The German Tiger heavy tank, with a total weight of 57 tons, a length of 8.45 meters, a width of 3.7 meters, a height of 2.86 meters, gun shield armor of 135 mm to 150 mm, the frontal armor of the turret is 102 mm, and the side armor of the turret and the back of the turret are 82 mm.

The German Tiger heavy tank had a maximum cross-country speed of 21 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 80 kilometers, and had 1 88-mm tank gun and 3 German-34 general-purpose machine guns.

At present, Zhou Rui has only driven 100 German Tiger heavy tanks from the lottery system.

In addition, Zhou Rui also drove another medium tank from the lottery system - the German No. 4 tank G.

German No. 4 Tank G, with a total weight of 23.5 tons, a length of 6.63 meters, a width of 2.88 meters, a height of 2.68 meters, armor thickness of 10 mm to 50 mm, a maximum road speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 200 kilometers, has one 75 mm tank gun and two German-34 general-purpose machine guns.

So far, Zhou Rui has driven 400 German No. 4 tanks from the lottery system.

In addition, the Ganyang Tank Factory, in addition to being able to build the Black Cat light tank, can already imitate the Black Fox medium tank, that is, the German No. 3 tank.

Sun Liang frowned and said, "6 anti-tank guns and 200 shells are really not enough.

According to the intelligence department, the Silver Wolf Army on the opposite side alone is equipped with a large number of tanks, and the enemy we will face is not only the Silver Wolf Army.

It is likely that the Flying Leopard Empire, the Golden Lion Empire, and the Black Bear Empire north of the Silver Wolf Empire will all send land forces into the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire to participate in the attack on the border defense line of our Jingzhou Army. ”

Yu Ji shook his head and said, "You don't have to think about the anti-tank gun for the time being, but I'll apply to the logistics department again to see if I can give more anti-tank gun shells."

If it is only a light tank, our machine gun is equipped with armor-piercing shells to deal with it, but for medium tanks and heavy tanks, we can only rely on anti-tank guns or anti-tank cluster grenades. ”

Now the grenades equipped by the Zhou army are all German 8 grenades that Zhou Rui got from the lottery system, or the German 8 grenades imitated by the Zhou family arsenal.

The anti-tank cluster grenades equipped by Zhou Jiajun were to remove the handles of 6 German 8 grenades and tie 6 warheads to 1 German 8 grenade without a handle, which was equivalent to tying 7 German 8 grenades together, which was enough to blow up some tanks, especially the tracks of the tanks.

Sun Liang said: "If we can't give our 2612 regiment more anti-tank guns, then let the logistics department give more anti-tank cluster grenades."

In addition, let the soldiers build more anti-tank cones in front of our 2612th regiment's position, that thing is also very easy to deal with tanks. ”

The anti-tank cone is a triangular pyramid cast from concrete, similar to a pyramid, about half a meter high, which Zhou Rui learned from another time and space.

When the tank touches the anti-tank cone, the bottom of the tank can easily get stuck on it, and the anti-tank cone is like a jack, even if you push it down, it still has a sharp cone pointing upwards, hindering the tank's progress, and the only way is to blast it away.
