"What's going on?" Li Yuan's head leaned over, Qian Longzhou handed him the document, and then turned to the herald and said, "Report back to the headquarters, I know." β
Several elders next to him also came over with weapons, and hundreds of Foreign Legion soldiers stood densely on the walls of Shabak, wearing big red short-sleeved military uniforms and blue high caps, the 1628 rifles in their hands were polished to a new look, and the bayonets inserted next to the muzzles were also polished. The sun cast from the cirrus clouds in the sky, shining on the walls of the city with a dazzling light, and from a distance, it seemed as if the castle was scattering golden light.
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, "This is really a good time." Qian Longzhou saw that the herald had already run down, nodded and said, "We are also lucky, staying in Shabakri will definitely not be affected too much by the typhoon, but the south bank army outside is difficult to say." β
"There's a typhoon?" As he spoke, the patriarch took the document and looked at it carefully, circulating it among several patriarchs from time to time. "How do you fight this?" "How else can you fight? Isn't that how it is played? "That's it, let's stay in the city, there is no danger, and those guys outside are called unlucky."

"Hey, I said, is that guy Zhang Zefeng credible? He's sent the alarm several times, which one was accurate? "That's it, every time it makes the chickens and dogs jump in the Oriental Port."
"Don't say that," Peng Jian said leisurely on the side, "This matter, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, even if our forecast is not accurate, it is still based on high-tech equipment." β
"Even those things are sophisticated?" Someone made a squeeze on the side, but Peng Jian didn't mind at all, just continued to say lightly, "This is not high-end, so do you think it is more reliable for divination or more reliable to wait for salt to drip brine?" β
The elders at the head of the city burst into laughter, turning all the Foreign Legion soldiers who heard the laughter to look at them suspiciously, not knowing what the senators were laughing at.
Peng Jian continued, "Even where we came, there are satellites in the sky taking pictures at all times, there are so many monitoring stations on the ground to monitor, plus years of weather data collection, there are still inaccurate forecasts. We're just here, so don't be too critical of the accuracy of the weather forecast. β
"What time is it?" Qian Longzhou raised his hand and looked at the quartz watch in his hand as he spoke, "It's past eleven o'clock." "Didn't the weather forecast say that the typhoon front was coming around eleven o'clock?" Li Yuan said curiously, Qian Longzhou pursed his lips, "Don't take it too seriously, our weather forecast is already shocking in this world, I dare to guarantee that the guys on the other side will definitely not know that there is a typhoon approaching." β
"Hmph," Peng Jian chuckled softly, "The typhoon must be coming from the direction of the sea, that is to say, it is blowing from the east to the west, we know the arrival of the typhoon earlier than them, plus we also have weather radar, we will know about the arrival of the typhoon at least six or seven hours before them." β
"That's right, they don't know the typhoon is coming until at least the front of the typhoon blows in their faces." Immediately, the patriarch laughed.
The enemy department is not in love, Sun Qiu Moyue hates the past
At this moment, someone from the lookout suddenly shouted, "The target has appeared, and the location is west-northwest, three thousand meters away!" β
With these words, the heads of all the people on the city wall immediately turned to the northwest. At the suggestion of the Chief of Staff of the Foreign Legion Maruyama, more than 3,000 naturalized soldiers of the Ito Regiment were mobilized at the War Department before the war, and an open area was opened up in the direction of Shabak to the west, two kilometers long from east to west and three kilometers wide from north to south.
At the exit of the official road in the distance, a group of people were walking out of the official road and began to move towards the south, and the wind of about level 4 was blowing from the east to the west, blowing the Polaris flag on the top of the flagpole at the head of Shabak City. The sunlight spilled down from the gaps in the clouds, shining on the vast predetermined battlefield area, and the light spots gradually turned into a pale gray sky, which made people feel a little depressed.
"It's finally here!" Qian Longzhou couldn't help but let out a long breath, if you want to say that you are not nervous, it is absolutely impossible, 100,000 people can fill this area of six or seven square kilometers. He felt a little clogging in his chest, and he couldn't help but take another deep breath and look north.
On the north side of the city wall is the wooden fort of the tank, which is now 300 meters long from north to south and 160 meters wide from east to west, and encloses the tank in the center of the wooden fort in an oval shape. Now stationed in it is the 3rd Company of the Foreign Legion, and after the heavy losses of the 1st Company, the 2nd and 3rd Companies have become the main companies of the Foreign Legion. Due to the fact that the tank fort is too far away, and the wooden fort wall is about two meters shorter than the Shabak wall. Although the troops and military industry have strengthened the entire wooden fort on a certain scale after receiving the arrival of the South Bank Army, after all, the foundation of the entire wooden fort is built on the basis of hastily built walls, and if you want to build the same wall as Shabak, you first need to re-excavate the foundation, and transport building materials, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, so it is only a matter of reinforcing one layer on the outside. The main improvement was the addition of three flying thunder gun groups and a hexagonal gun group and two 1629 smoothbore gun groups, in addition to the original machine gun group on the city wall not only was not abolished, but also three machine gun groups were added, bringing the total to five machine gun groups.
In addition to the 3rd Company, there were also more than 100 new recruits from the 5th Company, which had just been stationed a few days earlier, and these new units formed on the basis of veterans drawn from the 3rd Company still needed a lot of time to train and get used to it. However, now that the city was undernumbered, there was a need for more riflemen who could hit the crowd, and even though many of the recruits had failed their shooting training, the 5th Company was stationed in the tank fort to coordinate the defense.
Now the soldiers on the tank fort were standing in two neat rows on the walkway by the city walls, flanked by soldiers of artillery and machine-gun crews. These soldiers are all technical arms, temporarily transferred from the army and marines, and they also wear different military uniforms of their own services, and even Qian Longzhou can see the soldiers of the two machine gun crews wearing the white uniforms of the navy. Soldiers of the technical arms were busily checking their weapons, some checking the installation of bullets on the machine gun feeding plates, others wiping the chambers and checking the shells, while the Foreign Legion soldiers in bright red Spring and Autumn combat uniforms on either side watched their movements curiously. Because the trajectory of the thunder cannon is parabolic, the Foreign Legion's own three thunder gun crews are placed in the open space under the city wall, and soldiers in red combat uniforms nervously check the shells and propellants of the artillery below, and at the same time, there are people who build canopies with sticks and tarpaulins on the side, and once the heavy rain comes, they immediately use the canopies to cover the ammunition accumulation area to prevent the ammunition from getting wet.
The only veterans standing on the walls of Shabak were more than 100 people from the second company of the Foreign Legion, in addition to the newly formed fourth and sixth companies. Nguyen Van Ngoc was now standing among the soldiers, looking at the city wall, and everywhere he saw were basically the Red Legion soldiers, and their faces were full of excitement - these recruits recruited from the Ito Legion had not used all-firearms to fight, so all the battles today were very new to them, and they were eager to prove their abilities in a battle as they joined the Senate system. These soldiers are wearing white rattan helmets on their heads, with the accumulation of experience during this time, the rattan helmets they wear on their heads have begun to become more and more stylish, and they have also made a very German helmet flavor ear protector near the ears, so that the elders in the German faction led by Liu Lihua began to move, began to encourage the army units to change the rattan helmet that looks like a German helmet and the color of the military uniform to "German gray", and also began to lobby, trying to implement this set of military uniform program in the military system.
The weapons of the Foreign Legion standing at the head of the city were not all 1628 rifles, and the 4th and 6th companies were equipped with Senate rifles, mainly due to the low production rate of 1628 rifles. The expansion of the army is now a common act of the entire Senate army system, and the strength of the Senate Marine Corps and the Foreign Legion has been directly expanded from a few companies to two battalions in just one month, and the problem directly caused by the crazy expansion of the number is the shortage of military uniforms and rifles. The production capacity of the rifle immediately became a great defect - especially in the previous few months of fighting, the barrel material of the 1628 rifle was not up to standard, and the barrel leakage, explosion and other accidents were frequent, which led to the resistance of the troops to this weapon, so the newly produced 1628 rifle had several more sets of processes in the barrel quality inspection, which led to a direct decline in the barrel production capacity by several steps.
However, the newly formed troops of the Foreign Legion are about to face battle, and the need for weapons is extremely urgent, and finally after discussion, the new troops are still equipped with Senate rifles - these are still replaced by the early army when they were redressed, and the barrels are made of seamless steel pipes produced in the old time and space, and the quality directly throws off the products of this time and space a few streets, not only accurate, but also durable, and since the equipment, there has been no explosion. The Foreign Legion has a deep affection for this rifle, and they have been equipped with this rifle since its formation - although it is a smoothbore version, now the recruits are equipped with this rifle to regain tradition, and this Senate rifle imitated from the brown bass rifle is reasonably designed, the trajectory is accurate, and the biggest advantage is that the stock is sufficient, and the batch used by the Foreign Legion is the batch that the Army and Marine Corps have changed and sealed before, and they can be used immediately after simple maintenance. In addition, there is another advantage, that is, ammunition is not a problem, there is still a large stock of propellant paper packs, and as for the Mini warhead, there are still more than 100,000 lead warheads that have not been consumed when they were produced before, and this time it can just come in handy.
Peng Jian touched his beard stubble, and looked left and right a little nervously, he was a veteran of the military medical training of the Foreign Legion, but the people next to him looked at his expression and couldn't help but be a little nervous. At this time, his face was a little pale, and even his lips began to turn a little pale. His experience in the past few years has always been a mystery, and some familiar veterans have inquired about him, but he has always laughed and said nothing, and he refuses to say much when he is killed, which makes everyone's curiosity about him bigger and bigger, so he took the opportunity to train the foreign legion medic this time and left the Oriental Port area directly, so as not to be chased by a group of veterans and ask non-stop. He was surrounded by two veteran snipers, one of the two young senators was carrying a mosin nagant rifle with a scope, and the other was holding a large telescope, and the specific model Peng Jian could not say. The two patriarchs lay on the firing table that had been set upβin effect, a table of similar size had been set up on top of it to prevent arrows from falling from it and stabbing at them.
"Those two should be officers, right?" One of them said, and Peng Jian came over curiously, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he handed the telescope to Peng Jian.
Feud is not a place to knot the law of the month through the sail department
At the exit of the official road far away from the Yuetongfan Branch of the Enmity Sect, a group of people were walking out of the official road and began to move towards the south, and the wind of about level four was blowing from the east to the west, blowing the Polaris flag on the top of the flagpole at the head of Shabak City. The sunlight spilled down from the gaps in the clouds, shining on the vast predetermined battlefield area, and the light spots gradually turned into a pale gray sky, which made people feel a little depressed.
Peng Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is going to be a war, so I won't watch it, so as not to affect your observation." β
"It's a fart," the man sneered, "It's still three kilometers away, and the range of our 'heart and liver' is only eight hundred meters, so you just have to take it and see it, and then return it to me when they enter the one kilometer." As he spoke, he shoved the telescope into Peng Jian's hand.
Peng Jian smiled and picked up the binoculars to look into the distance. At the front, six or seven hundred people had already entered the battlefield and began to form a phalanx on the battlefield, and a few people dressed like ordinary soldiers were running around in the rear of the troops, dancing with their hands, looking as if they were shouting and giving orders, and the soldiers of the South Bank Army in these phalanxes stood sparsely, and the formation formed all kinds of strange shapes as if they had been gnawed by dogs.
Zhao Ximin is now in the position of the Chinese army, and his place is still about two kilometers away from entering the battlefield in front. Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the legion, he will not risk his life, let alone enter the front line, at this time he opened up an area in the woods, and set up a large tent in it - since the last time he was attacked by the iron rocket of the strange bird, he knew that in front of the enemy in the sky, the position is useless for the Chinese army, and people can still accurately throw those things that will explode on their heads, so they simply hide the tent in the jungle, so that the strange bird can't see it, and naturally it can't attack. But it wasn't the strange birds that he was worried about now, but the clouds in the sky that were slowly blowing in from the east, which had begun to turn from white to gray, and if I wasn't mistaken, it should rain soon. If it really rains, wouldn't it be inconvenient to start a siege? Therefore, it is necessary to immediately let the troops in front of us attack without further ado, and strive to break through the city as soon as possible and go to the city to take shelter from the rain.
