Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rain Fights in the Wild (Part I)
"......" Zhang Shixin, who was wearing a military raincoat, glanced helplessly at the still gloomy sky, and then looked at the large military trucks stuck in the mud puddles.
"Boss, if this continues, we may not be able to get to Gopal in time." Fei Lei, who was also wearing a military raincoat, flipped down from the turret of the VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard" and walked to Zhang Shixin's side.
And the captain of the VK-3001P, Strar, also walked to Zhang Shixin's side, listened to the heavy rain ticking on the military raincoat, and shook his head: "You don't have to worry too much about this, the road conditions in the north are worse than here, and the marching speed of the regular army in Hellington is affected more." However, I still advise the boss to give up everything that can be given up, except for the necessary baggage supplies. After all, in this case, we won't be greatly slowed down by these guys while we are marching. ”
Zhang Shixin nodded, then glanced at a few large trucks that were also stuck in the quagmire, loaded with captured materials, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, blow up those cars and the things on them." In addition, the crew is transferred to other trucks to act as porters. ”
Zhang Shi thought for a moment and added: "Let two armored vehicles tow a truck, and we will speed up the march as fast as possible!" ”
"Yes, Boss/Commander!" After saluting, the commanders under Fei Lei, Strar and Zhang Shixin returned to their tanks one after another.
Then Zhang Shixin silently glanced at a few large military trucks that were unmanned, called a few infantrymen, and after giving an order, he also turned back to the Panther A tank.
After the convoy set off again and was far away, Zhang Shixin saw several fireballs rising in the periscope, in addition to the continuous rain curtain. That was the end of a truck loaded with a remote-controlled bomb that was detonated.
Zhang Shixin didn't take another look, and thought helplessly: "How much gold is this worth?" ”
"How much money are you?!" Sinia glanced at Zhang Shixin helplessly, and had to vomit.
"Now it's a thin asset, but the oil and normal supply consumption have exceeded 1,000 a day, this is all money......" Zhang Shixin thought silently.
"......, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." An elven dragon coiled on the back of Zhang Shixin's commander's position rolled his eyes angrily.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
"Prime Minister, now that we've completely suppressed the noble rebels and made a down payment for the southern lands, what do we need to do next?" Dressed in a pure white dress and wearing a crown symbolizing King Capani, De Perry sat at the conference table facing the door of the conference room and asked Druka Hodivan on the left.
Druca heard De Perry asking himself, and after talking to Durrell and the others, he said: "Your Majesty, after our discussions, General Gignas will lead the 1st Panzer Guards Brigade and two mechanized brigades to integrate into a temporary armored division, and go to Fort Cags for mobile defense after a three-day direct supply rest in Glossy City. As for the rest of the troops, two lines of defense will be placed in the area north of the city of Capani to prevent a sudden attack by the enemy on the city of Capani. ”
"Oh, since that's the case, you just have to arrange it. Other than that...... Except for the prime minister, who will wait for me in the corridor, the others will go home first. De Perry glanced at the ministers, who had more or less tired looks on their faces, and ordered the meeting to adjourn.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A few minutes later, looking down in the corridor at Capani City shrouded in rain, and the starry lights on the distant streets, Druca listened to the footsteps coming from behind him, and looked back at De Perry, who had not yet completely changed his role, and was walking towards him step by step. Bow gently.
Then, Druka, who stood up straight again, glanced at his friend's daughter, and at the same time thought that it was his own daughter, De Perry, and smiled gently: "Your Majesty came to me this time, mainly in the hope of getting news of that person." ”
De Perry walked in front of Drucka about two meters away and stopped, hearing the joke of the person who had taken care of her since she was a child, her little face flushed slightly, but she still nodded.
"Don't worry, the Hilton Army can't do anything about him, he's not such an easy person to die." Druca said, pulling a note from his bosom and handing it to Deperry.
De Perry took the note, and saw that it was written by a man named Gunian who had found the barracks and the body hanging from the barracks flagpole, which had been soaked a little swollen by the rain, and the people who had searched the barracks on a large scale, squarely placed on the table.
The message reads: "Looking forward to the day when we will fight the 'hungry wolf of Capani' – Gnaan Buller. ”
Seeing her sweetheart's nickname, although not very good, De Perry was still very excited.
It's just that she's a little curious, who is that guy named Gnaan Bleur?
However, compared to her sweetheart defending her country again, Depery quickly ignored the name.
"Thank you, Uncle Druka. I told Sister Loris about it. DePerry finished speaking, then turned and trotted down another section of the hallway.
"It's good to be young...... Druca said this sentence with a smile as he looked at Deperi as he left.
As for the girl named Loris, he had also met once or twice, and he didn't care about some situations that might affect the face of the royal family, because De Perry's child would be the heir to the country, and who could say anything?
Moreover, he wished that there were more members of the Capani royal family, and the continuation of the country would be more secure.
Druka, who was about to leave, heard a voice behind him: "Prime Minister Drucka, our captain has something to trouble you to go to the front garden." ”
Druca looked back and saw one of the soldiers he had brought back from Depery, wearing a raincoat still dripping with water, standing a few meters behind him and saluting.
He nodded, and followed the soldier out of the hallway.
After a while, Druka, holding an umbrella, saw a group of people gathered around an artificial rock mountain, and the background of several people in Durrell was also there.
When the herald cleared a small path for Druka, Druka walked into the crowd and saw several corpses with a faint blood wound on their necks, or corpses with painful faces and several red marks on their necks.
"Ducco, what's this all about?" Druca asked Durrell with an unkind face.
Durrell sighed: "These people crossed the cordon on the periphery of the palace and sneaked into this garden, fortunately, these people found them and dealt with them as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a small matter to hurt the personnel of the palace, in case Your Majesty is in danger, we will not be able to escape the blame." ”
Druka looked at these corpses and roared with an unkind face: "Check it for me, find out what the hell is going on!" In addition, a grant will be given to this unit as a token of our gratitude. ”
"Mr. Prime Minister, don't be so troublesome, we are all members of the troops directly under the commander, and he will pay us on time every month. It's his order, and we're just doing what we are told. A military soldier in a raincoat said softly.
"Okay then, but I still need to pay tribute to your dutifulness." Druca was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't take the other party's "confrontation" to heart, and said with a smile.
……
"Sister Loris, there's news from Spice, he's south of Capani now." Opening the door to the guest room, DePerry said to Loris, who was looking at the rain and thinking about something.
And at the feet of this girl in a wheelchair, two small black backs that have grown up are playing with each other.
"Really? That's great. Loris, hearing De Perry's words, gently fiddled with the wheelchair, and then moved towards De Perry......
The two girls who were whispering didn't know the "little things" that happened in the front garden, and for the two girls sitting on the bed, the black-haired youth was the most important topic......
In this room, there are bursts of laughter from time to time......
At the same time, on the north side of a bridge, wearing a raincoat, standing in the rain curtain watching VK-3601H finally pass the bridge safely, Zhang Shixin, who had a tense face, suddenly sneezed while breathing a sigh of relief, so he thought suspiciously: "Cold?" ”
He definitely didn't expect that someone was talking about him.
"Forget it...... Let the Panther A speed up as fast as possible and rush across the bridge in one go. Zhang Shixin held a walkie-talkie and shouted.
Seconds later, the 42-ton Panther A crossed the bridge at full speed......
Xinia asked Zhang Shixin puzzled: "Why can you let armored vehicles and trucks line up behind some lighter tanks to cross the bridge, but what kind of anti-virus vehicle and Panther A have to cross the bridge alone, for fear of resonance?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid that the bridge will resonate, but I'm afraid that the bridge deck won't be able to accept the weight of these two things." Zhang Shixin looked at the tactical map in his mind, this bridge with a nominal load of 55 tons, God knows what his total load was? (Note 1)
Xinia nodded, but he found that Zhang Shixin was thinking about something, so he didn't bother the other party anymore.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
A few days later, Zhang Shixin's motorcade appeared in a forest more than 50 kilometers south of Heather, where he was still stubbornly resisting, in a forest next to the main road leading to the largest heavy industrial city in the Kingdom of Capani, Gloch.
In addition to receiving a blocking mission, he mainly hopes to buy time for King Capani's [***] troops to maneuver strategically.
For this battle, Zhang Shixin can be said to have made a bloody investment.
Not only did it summon 1,000 elite infantry, but it also deliberately purchased five variant vehicles - the No. 3 self-propelled mortar (equipped with 105mm-nebelwww.xstxt.orgm–granatwww.xstxt.orgm–granatwww.xstxt.organ-g) (equipped with 128mm– granatwww.xstxt.orgm-granatwww.xstxt.orgm-granatwerfer-40。 These weapons would have to be made with 150 infantrymen.
Although Zhang Shixin kept saliva on those towed artillery, it was really difficult for the towing artillery to be effective in this hilly terrain, unless, Zhang Shixin's head was kicked by a donkey, and the artillery was lined up on the slope ramp opposite the road......
Moreover, Zhang Shixin didn't have so many vehicles to tow these artillery, so he had to give up.
There are also 200 Finnish-made Lahti-L-39-20mm semi-automatic anti-tank rifles that can be used as semi-automatic machine guns. Zhang Shixin values the large capacity of this anti-tank rifle, and even if 10 rounds of 20mmx138mm armor-piercing bullets hit the human body, it is estimated that it will kill with one shot.
Although in terms of weight, the Swiss Solothurns-18/1100 is a little better than the L-39, and the price is also much cheaper, but the maximum effective range of the L-39 is nominal 6500 meters, and it can also be used as a large-caliber sniper rifle, even if it can't deal with the opponent's tank, then it is powerful to bully the opponent's armored vehicles and transport trucks. For this, Zhang Shixin is the most concerned thing.
This is exactly Barrett before World War II......
Even though the total combat weight of this thing is about 52 kilograms, and at the same time there is a deep doubt about the nominal effective range of 6500 meters......
In the end, Zhang Shixin gritted his teeth and bought 200 L-39 semi-automatic anti-tank rifles.
Other M-24 pre-type grenades, K98K sniper rifles, MG-34 general-purpose machine guns, MP-38 submachine guns, and M1911 pistols were added to the troops as much as possible......
As for the shells and bullets, I bought a full 6 bases......
Canned food and military kettles are enough for 5 days.
It's just that in the end, according to Sinya's words, if it weren't for the raincoat and no money, it is estimated that you would not be able to fit the thousand people.
A military raincoat is very cheap, and there is a deal for 5 silver coins, but if you can't even afford a raincoat for a thousand people, it means that Zhang Shixin is bankrupt again......
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
Admiral Kalas is the deputy commander of the Southeastern Legion of the Kingdom of Hairington (the name given to the force that invaded Capani). He also didn't want the Kingdom of Hellington to attack Capani, but he was more of a pure soldier.
So when the upper echelons of the military department ordered him to lead two mobilized and improvised mechanized divisions to bypass Heather and raid Gloch, he quickly led the troops after only a few hours of arrangement and handed over the work at hand to his subordinate generals who had not been mobilized.
Braving the rain, a convoy bypassed Heather, who was still resisting, and headed for Glossy.
It's just that because the roads have been soaked in rainwater, they can only take the way of towing transport trucks, moving at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.
This is still the ideal speed at which there is no lag behind.
However, even if the troops were left behind due to vehicle failure, Kalas ignored them and let the surrounding vehicles pull him to the side of the road, and the troops continued to set off.
As for whether the vehicles that have fallen behind will attract guerrillas or be discovered by the enemy.
Kalas didn't know, but he had to hurry up and take Glossie's defenders by surprise.
However, he never imagined that a young man with blood dripping from his heart and looking at his "sister" silently would have already set up a blocking line on their way forward that they would never forget.
……
"The fever is finally gone." Zhang Shixin touched Vina's forehead and found that the drugs sold by the system were quite effective.
After instructing Vena to take care of it reasonably, Zhang Shixin, who walked out of the armored car in a raincoat, thought silently: It seems that it is not a good way to let these girls often follow me like this after all. Because there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen. And he naturally didn't know if he would let the two girls into danger because of a moment of carelessness.
Perhaps sending them back to Capani City would be the best way to do it.
Zhang Shixin looked at the rain curtain in front of him and made his own calculations.
"Commander, Lieutenant Filley has returned, saying that there is important news to convey." A herald in a raincoat trotted up to Zhang Shixin and saluted.
"Okay. I'll walk over right now. Zhang Shixin naturally knew where Fei Lei was now, but he didn't expect that Fei Lei, who was 25 kilometers ahead, would rush back in such a hurry.
I'm afraid I came back to prepare in advance. Let's hear his opinion first.
Through the guidance of the tactical map, Zhang Shixin quickly found Fei Lei, who was parked in the convoy more than 100 meters away from him and was jumping out of the car.
"What's going on?" Zhang Shixin asked Fei Lei, who hurried back.
"Boss, things don't seem to be good, judging by the size of the convoy, the number of the other side seems to be no less than the strength of two divisions, two fully armed and mechanized divisions with relatively fierce firepower." Firay said with a not very good look.
And Zhang Shixin was stunned for a moment by this somewhat surprising number, to be precise, he was calmed by the words reported by Fei Lei with more fierce firepower.
After Zhang Shixin came back to his senses, he asked anxiously: "How long will it take for the other party to arrive here?" ”
"Two to three hours, no more than three and a half hours at the latest!" Filey estimated what he had snooped out,
"It's a bit troublesome now...... Zhang Shixin glanced at his watch and found that it was only 10 o'clock in the morning, and even if the other party would arrive in three and a half hours, he would still have to call the other party for an afternoon. It would have been easier to do it at night, but for now......
"Tell the order to go down, everyone eats and rests together for half an hour! Then dig a trench according to my preset defense location! Zhang Shixin shouted loudly around.
Boxes of canned food were then lifted off the truck by the soldiers and pried open with a tri-fold sapper shovel. After each person got their own six cans, they quickly returned to their defensive positions.
Firay, after receiving the cans from his crew, was the first to head to his position, a cliff light enough to overlook a large area.
Zhang Shixin asked the six soldiers to bring their weapons and go to the armored car where the two girls were.
"What are you doing back?" Hurley looked at Zhang Shixin who opened the rear compartment door in confusion.
"Well, let's go, I'll take you to Leah." Zhang Shixin gently turned sideways to let the soldiers get into the car and put the canned boxes in the car.
"Why?" Hurley looked at Zhang Shixin.
Zhang Shixin shook his head, then took out a box of drugs labeled aspirin in Chinese from his arms and threw it to Hurley: "I just don't want you to die here with me." Sorry......"
Zhang Shixin, who was about to close the armored door after speaking, heard Hurley say to him: "You want to come back alive to see us, okay?" ”
Zhang Shixin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only after coming back to his senses did he say, "I'm sorry, I can't give you such a guarantee." ”
The door of the car closed with a "bang......, and Zhang Shixin silently listened to the sound of the armored car starting the engine without saying a word......
"I don't even know how to say a good word, I really don't know what you think." Sinia said angrily.
Zhang Shixin smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "I can't tell a lie that even I don't believe." Because if you don't do it, it's better not to say it. ”
Hinia shook her head in confusion, and she heard another "self" voice: "Why don't you tell him about that?" ”
"There's no need for that, it's almost the same as not telling him, why say what is bound to happen?"
"That's true, but luckily everything I made didn't have that problem. But it's so boring, when will he be able to use those machines? ”
"Who knows......" Sinia shook her head angrily.
……
"This idiot, I don't even know how to comfort people, hum ......" said so, but Hurley, who was sitting in the back of the armored car, found herself crying......
"Is this what tears?" Hurley's right hand was stained with a little tear of her own, and she put it in front and licked it with her tongue, and found that the tears tasted just like she was feeling right now......
Salty and bitter......
"You've got to live to see us, big bad...... Hurley prayed to someone watching the armored car leave, clasping her hands together......
ps:Tomorrow is the full battle chapter.,The number of words will be very sufficient.,Ask for collections.,Ask for votes.,Ask for comments......
Note 1: Will there be a resonance effect when a tank platoon crosses the bridge?
The answer is not impossible, but the probability is very small, this is because the load of the tank itself is transmitted to the track through the load wheel and dispersed to the ground, in this case, the vibration of the ground is very messy, so, even if dozens or even hundreds of tanks of the same weight go together, unless the total load of the bridge body can not accept the weight of the tank formation, otherwise, it is okay.
For example, if you draw a big circle on a piece of paper, put it in the middle of a square table, and then put a few glasses of water on the edge of the circle that are almost the same full, and you hit the center of the circle with a fist, you will find that the amplitude of the water is about the same. It's a simple analog resonance.
However, when you take two hammers of about the same size, one larger and one smaller (the weight of the left and right sides of the tank is not symmetrical, and of course there will not be many errors), and you knock on the center of the circle, you will find that the fluctuations of the water are much more messy.
Of course, this is only a simple explanation, and besides, there is a difference in the weight of each part of the tank, and there will also be a difference in the effect of shaking on the ground.
