"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Irlanhill! Welcome to Emperor Iran Hill to rule Higgs! On both sides of the street, there were countless ordinary people of the Higgs Kingdom, waving bouquets and colored cloths in their hands at the army passing in front of them, as if they were eating pot pulp to welcome the king.

In front of them, rows of black M42 steel helmets swayed slightly from side to side with their footsteps in the sunlight, and columns of soldiers carrying Mauser rifles walked through the streets of the Higgs Kingdom.

Without encountering any resistance, the 2nd Army crossed the border between Irlanhill and Higgs on the last day of the first year of Ellanhill, and entered the "Higgs oil producing area" that had been planned long ago.

The soldiers sitting on the top of the truck held the latest STG-44 assault rifles in their arms, chin high and looked down on the crowds on the streets on both sides to the sound of majestic military music.

This new weapon has only just been developed, and it is still basically in the stage of secret equipment. Because of the advent of tanks, individual automatic weapons finally began to move closer to automation. Range was no longer an emphasized advantage, and the density of fire began to become important as the number of artillery pieces increased.

After all, there were no tanks to accompany infantry in battle, and the range of weapons at that time often determined the outcome of a war. Having a longer range allows you to destroy the enemy in a safer position, which is the basis for the design of a single-shot long-range rifle.

Now, with the proliferation of mortars, tanks, and even light machine guns, the ability to deliver fire over long distances has been dramatically enhanced. Under this premise, as in World War II, individual automatic weapons began to be used.

So Chris made some familiar trade-offs, and finally felt that he should skip the AK47, a familiar weapon, and directly use the M4, a more mature and more compatible weapon in the future.

In fact, AK is very good, in fact, it is very good, it is cheap and affordable and easy to mass-produce equipment, just make it, you can give a large amount of equipment to the troops, and quickly form a strong combat effectiveness.

However, there seem to be some problems with the initial choice of Irlanhill, the Mauser rifle and the MG-42 machine gun use 7.92 mm caliber ammunition, so the ammunition hoarded by the Irlanhill Kingdom is basically 7.92 mm caliber.

Therefore, a large number of machinery for the production of ammunition is 7.92 mm caliber standard, and the temporary modification to 7.62 mm caliber seems a bit too reluctant. After some consideration, Chris still felt that in the choice of assault rifles, he would continue the previous choice and honestly follow the path of STG-44.

Then, as he matured, he felt that he could equip his troops with a more advanced assault rifle like the M5 that could be used forever. As for the AK47, which could not be matched with a large number of accessories, he decided to cut his love......

Of course, in fact, this grief of brushing shoulders with classic weapons, Chris can fully feel it - he really likes the AK47, and even thinks that he should equip it with this weapon, and then it is too late to transition to the M4.

However, the continuity of the ammunition system forced him to compromise and abandon many of the weapons that looked very good: the American M1 Garand rifle was also a classic, but he had to give it up as well.

In addition, Thomson submachine guns, Bobosha submachine guns, these very classic submachine gun weapons in World War II, also disappeared in history with the emergence of the STG-44 assault rifle.

Chris's personal guards all used STG-44 assault rifles, and they never felt that their weapons were too powerful, but instead felt that a more powerful assault rifle was more suitable than a submachine gun for a powerful magician.

Countless cars towed 75-millimeter cannons through the city, and soldiers sang loudly as Kai Ge slowly marched forward with neat steps. Overhead, there are falling petals, and black royal flags fluttering in the wind everywhere.

Many years later, people are still talking about this huge ceremony of entering the city, and no one thought that the Higgs Kingdom, which had long been infiltrated by the economy to every corner, would give everything so cleanly.

Everyone welcomed the reign of Iran Hill, after all, Ran Hill's rule was almost synonymous with wealth and power in this era. On the day Iran Hill's army marched into Higgs, prices in the Higgs region dropped by about a tenth.

"Iran Hill! You are a great country! Iran Hill! You are my mother! A little boy followed the grenadiers step by step, singing the song of the Iran Hill region in praise of his country, and his childish voice made the people around him laugh good-naturedly.

And outside the city, in the deserted wilderness, the troops of the 2nd Army were also advancing. They were ordered to rush to the border of Higgs and take over the border defense between Higgs and the Holy Demon Empire.

Accompanying these troops were sturdy horses. Although they are extremely equipped with cars and tanks, Iran Hill's troops, like Germany during World War II, are seriously troubled by their own production capacity, they are still a certain distance from mechanization, and many places are not as calm and complete as they seem.

"Hurry up! Let those sappers go first! Standing at the intersection of the road, a second lieutenant who had stayed behind to direct traffic stood on the roadbed and shouted orders to the soldiers who passed by a 105 mm howitzer dragged by mules and horses in front of him.

Many troops share this muddy path, and many of them are not visible to the people of Higgs due to the need for secrecy: Elan Hill is not only a tough soldier, but also a machine like no other in the world!

The first to pass were the tanks that the 2nd Army had just equipped, and these M4 tanks were parked on the side of the road one after another, waiting for the alert troops in front of them to find the way. These steel behemoths that can rampage on the battlefield without the need for war horses are still in absolute secrecy at this moment.

In addition, following these tank units, there is also the Air Force Construction Corps of Iran Hill. They had to quickly build a front-line field airfield in Higgs, and then they could allow the ready-to-prepare air force fighter units to enter Higgs and improve the air defense in the oil-producing areas.

"We should have let the construction corps come first...... Damn it! Looking at the muddy road, which had been crushed by mules, horses, and trucks, the second lieutenant commanding the traffic frowned and complained.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

As far as the eye could see, cement mixing trucks, power generation trucks, and equipment towed by mules and horses were densely paved along the entire road, and there was no end in sight to the new equipment of the Air Force Construction Corps, whose names were unknown.

The crane was followed by a wagon full of tents, and a jeep full of air commanders in red uniforms, waiting boredly behind supply trucks piled high with daily necessities and washbasins hanging from the doors.

Farther away, trucks carrying radar antennas looked as if their compartments were filled with steel fences. The truck that followed the truck was piled up with cables, roll after roll, and the discs were clearly written with expensive caution in them.

Further back, the old-fashioned, 30-mm anti-aircraft guns loaded on horse-drawn carriages, one by one, were pulled by warhorses, waiting next to the tank units. The grooms looked curiously at the tank driver who got out of the car to rest, unaware that the two of them were essentially peers.

This is already a modern army that is very close to the level of World War II, and it is very close to the level of the early stage of World War II, both in terms of its weapons and equipment and in terms of the quality of its members.

"If it weren't for secrecy, we would be traveling twice as fast as we do now!" A passing artillery officer, fanning himself with his hand, squinted his eyes and walked over to the second lieutenant who was directing the traffic and stopped.

The dust had made the military uniform on his body look a little old, after all, it was a combat unit, and it was really not as good as the soldiers who passed through the city and were responsible for relying on it. He grumbled as he looked up at the sign, as if wondering how long he would have to run around in such a pitiful state.

The second lieutenant stood up and saluted, and then continued to direct the traffic while talking about the situation in front of him with the colleague who had idle chat: "Don't mention it! The 3rd Cavalry Division that took the main road is estimated to have arrived at Narange. ”

"They are serious cavalry divisions, and of course they are moving fast." The artillery officer watched a platoon of his men pass in front of him, paused, and then shouted loudly: "Give me a hurry!" Go to the next intersection and give the way to the mechanized troops! Bastard! Run! ”

Hearing his reprimand, the artillerymen pushed the 75 mm infantry guns around them even harder. Thanks to their efforts, the horses in front of them finally pulled the cannon out of the deep rut and continued to march forward quickly.

"Don't let it rain...... Pray that it doesn't rain. The artillery commander looked at the deep ruts, imagined what the road would be like after the rain, and prayed: "If it rains, we estimate that it will be ten years before we reach the border." ”

"It won't be that long." The second lieutenant in command of the traffic smiled and said comfortingly: "Even if it rains, it is estimated that five years will be enough." ”

In the midst of their laughter, the sky, which was originally quite clear, was filled with a little bit of doubt. Soon the laughter of the two crow's beaks stopped, and a frantic urge: "Hurry up! It's going to rain! If you don't want to get wet, let me go quickly! Otherwise, you'll have to brave the rain to hurry! ”

In the summer, the rainy season in Higgs really came as soon as it was said, and the day after Iran Hill's troops marched into Higgs, the heavy rain came as scheduled, just like the mood of His Majesty the Emperor of Iran Hill, who was trying on his new wedding dress......
