Chapter 90: Weapon Configuration

A standing infantry division in the Republic of Takilia is generally 18,000 men, with three infantry regiments, two artillery regiments, and an independent special service battalion.

By the time the sun began to set, all the officers and men of the Sixth Division were ready to go.

Terry, Marshal Shi Yexuan and others were led by the commander of the Sixth Division to the starting point.

A neat phalanx was already lined up in this wilderness.

All the soldiers were armed with rifles on their shoulders, grenades on their waists, and large marching backpacks on their backs.

Like the ordinary soldiers of the Blue Flag Empire, the ordinary soldiers of the Republic of Takilia are equipped with these three major weapons, rifles, grenades, and bayonets.

Other configurations are similar, such as 2 leather bullet boxes around the waist, a multi-purpose lead lunch box, a military flat round water bottle, and a leather backpack with an oilcloth rain gear strapped to the backpack.

However, the soldiers of the Republic of Takilia have two bullet boxes full of 50 rounds of 7.9 mm round-headed bullets each, while the soldiers of the Blue Flag Empire can have 20 rounds of pretends.

As for the grenade pouch, most of the grenades at this time were wooden handles, and both countries were also like this, but the soldiers of the Blue Flag Empire were equipped with a maximum of 2 grenades per person.

However, Terry saw that although the grenade bags of the soldiers in front of him were not full, only three, the soldiers in each squad were equipped with a mule accompanying the army.

On the mule's special saddle, in addition to a long rifle ammunition box, there are also four large square ammunition boxes, and the sign on them is a grenade.

And there are about 20 grenades in a box, that is, an infantry squad, in addition to 18 grenades on 6 soldiers, also has 4 base grenades, which is when defending, so many grenades are enough for the soldiers of the attacking side to drink a pot.

But in the infantry squad of the Republic of Takilia, the only thing that is different from the Blue Flag Empire is that there are three less grenadiers, and I don't know if it is not needed, or if this new type of troops that has only appeared in the Blue Flag Empire's troops in the last ten years has not yet been popularized here.

Although the forces of the Republic of Takilia are missing the suppressive weapon of grenadiers, it does not mean that the suppressive firepower of this force will be lost to the Blue Banner Empire.

Because Terry found a weapon similar to a mortar of a prehistoric civilization in these infantry phalanxes.

Each infantry company was equipped with five small mortars, and although they were not as flexible as grenadiers, the 60-caliber mortars were absolutely devastating to the enemy hiding in the trenches.

After looking at the infantry phalanx, the next thing is the artillery regiment.

At this time, the caliber of the field artillery is not large, but the weight is very heavy, because the quality of the cannon steel is not very good, so the thickness of the barrel of the field artillery at this time is generally thicker, so an artillery regiment can only be equipped with 10-12 75 caliber field mountain guns at most, so the number of artillery is not very large, the main thing is the logistics personnel, after all, the logistics pressure of the artillery regiment is the most difficult.

The mountain artillery of the Republic of Takilia was actually imported from the Blue Flag Empire during the Takilian Empire, but because Terry did not participate in the artillery unit, it is impossible to tell the difference.

However, in Terry's eyes, this mountain cannon is too backward, and it is much heavier than the cheapest field mountain cannon that can be exchanged in the system. In particular, these mountain guns are all backward mountain guns, and the big wheels look very awkward.

However, no matter how backward it was, the polished and translucent cannon still made Terry secretly praise this "backward" artillery unit.

Except for the Great Plains, the Republic of Takilia is uphill in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain, and most of them are Gobi ravines, so the logistics transportation of this division is not equipped with the cumbersome steam trucks of the Blue Flag Empire.

But Takilia has been a people on horseback since ancient times, and the most important thing here is mules and horses, so behind the artillery regiment, Terry saw a mule and horse regiment pulling all kinds of supplies, even bigger than these infantry regiments.

With such a large-scale logistics and transportation team, one can imagine how powerful such a logistics supply capacity is, and this is only the supply capacity of divisional units.

Marshal Shi Yexuan rode back and forth on the Yaqi horse in front of the procession, which was probably the tradition of the troops of the Republic of Takilia, and the marshal rode as he rode while shouting slogans that Terry did not understand, but Terry saw that the expressions of the soldiers became more and more passionate with the marshal's slogans, and he also knew that these were slogans of encouragement and mobilization.

When Marshal Shi Yexuan returned to Terry's side, the team began to advance in batches in an orderly manner.

At the forefront was the independent special services battalion.

The soldiers of this battalion were almost as equipped as ordinary soldiers, although this battalion did not have those heavy suppressive weapons, but it did have a much more cavalry establishment.

And this independent special battalion is actually the unit that Terry saw on the training ground, what makes Terry wonder is that he didn't see what preparations this unit made before, but just returned to the camp in the afternoon to repair, and it was completely ready in less than an hour, this speed really made Terry feel smacked.

Divisional headquarters and marshals walked together in the middle of the infantry ranks, which was also a common practice in all armies during this period, which effectively protected the safety of the minds of the entire team.

Originally, everything was going according to plan, looking at this majestic and high-spirited steel division, Terry's heart was also relaxed, in fact, what he was most worried about before was the accident of Admiral Ragustevich, but now with this force, it is expected that Admiral Ragustevich, who has only one local garrison, should not dare to have any thoughts, but at this time, an accident happened.

When the team walked out of the garrison camp, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the capital, and a yellow cloud of smoke came from far and near.

"Comrade Generalissimo, wait a minute."

When the knights came to the front of the procession, they had already seen the marshal and others who were leaving the brigade on horseback, and one of the knights quickly jumped off his horse and ran quickly to the generalissimo's horse on foot and saluted.

"What's the matter, is there any order from Comrade Führer?"

In fact, the arrival of Oplar and his entourage, the marshal sent someone to inform the head of the Republic of Takilia, Ulaanba Kotbu, last night, but this kind of military operation is only in the country as long as the marshal is directly transferred, and the head of state will not ask too much, but now the head of state is so anxious to send his own internal guards to come, there must be some accidents, so the marshal also frowned and asked.

"Comrade Generalissimo, this is a personal order from Comrade Führer, take a look."

The knight took out a golden envelope from his satchel and handed it to Marshal Shi Yexuan, then he saluted and turned to the side.

"What, how can this be true!"

When Marshal Shi Yexuan took out a white letter from the golden envelope, and after looking at it a few times, his face immediately changed greatly, and he couldn't help but reprimand angrily.
