Chapter 16: Scientists and Sappers
Through Rooney's interrogation, Zhong Yi learned that the tactical equipment of the so-called Australian Army's Third Cavalry Division was nothing more than an old-fashioned unit that was still stuck in the First World War. Cavalry swords and short rifles were still their main equipment, and it was not their divisional force that came to the Ayers Rock area to carry out a search mission, the third division's headquarters was based in Adelaide on the southern coast, and only a regiment came here. Rooney was the chief of staff of the regiment, because several reconnaissance teams sent by the regimental headquarters had mysteriously disappeared before, and no news had been sent back. The regimental commander, Colonel Hebar, lost his temper and sent Rooney to personally bring people to reconnoiter the wall that had suddenly been erected in the desert, and made an agreement that if there was no more news, the whole regiment would be dispatched.
The cavalry regiment, no heavy weapons, only rifles and knights' swords, and the main force of the division are stationed hundreds of kilometers away from here, summing up these important pieces of information, Zhong Yi's face seems to be smiling, and it looks a little hideous. Company Commander Jiang's dark face on the opposite side also trembled slightly, "Sir, are we going to defeat this army?" ”
"No!" Zhong Yi's expression now is like a god stick, "Lieutenant, I don't want to defeat them, I want ...... Annihilation! ”
"Annihilation?" Jiang Yunzhi was quite surprised, with the current equipment of the base, more than a dozen Type 59 medium tanks faced the cavalry without heavy weapons, the number was no longer a problem, did he expect the cavalry's sabers and knights' swords to cut through the armor of the tank? But to be annihilated? Jiang Yunzhi couldn't think of a better way, a regiment of cavalry, even if it was a thousand pigs, couldn't catch them all at once, let alone a thousand knights.
"Yes, all annihilation, not a single enemy can be let go, so that the command of the Australian army does not know the disappearance of this regiment, and will think that they are performing tasks in the desert, so that we can win another period of development time for the base."
"But ......" Jiang Yunzhi still wondered, where did the chief get his confidence? Can we guarantee the total annihilation of the enemy in this desert type, and the most important thing is that our side is only a hundred people even counting tank drivers, and an average of ten prisoners are captured per person? Lian Chang Jiang scratched his scalp and didn't figure it out.
In the next two days, Zhong Yi issued a series of seemingly strange combat orders: first, convert the anti-aircraft machine guns of three anti-aircraft wheeled armored vehicles into flat-fire machine guns and add a light machine gun, and then leave the base with the guard squad for field training; Secondly, all the armor-piercing shells that the tanks have been equipped with are replaced with anti-personnel grenades, and the training is stopped, and the front of the buildings outside the base valley is arranged in a line to form a tank position, and each tank crew member must dig a slope bunker behind the tank in these two days, and after the tank reverses into the bunker, the turret can shoot, but the front level does not see the body as the benchmark; Third, the second and third squads of the infantry platoon built blocking positions at the entrance to the wall of the base.
Is the commander going to use these two squads of infantry to stop the enemy's cavalry brigade? After Zhong Yi gave the order, he returned to the main building of the base without explaining anything.
The war laboratory had been completed, and Zhong Yi in front of the console was so excited that his heart beat much faster. The building interface has not changed, except that the laboratory has been built, and the icons of other buildings have returned to their color-hustainable state, but the icons of the War Lab are still gray, indicating that this is the only building. Defense interface,There's an extra Type 55 37mm anti-aircraft machine gun icon.,It's another weapon copied from the Soviet Union.,No way.,The first generation of domestic weapons.,Most of the maiden families are big brothers of the Soviet Union.。 The anti-aircraft gun is claimed to be one of the three major weapon inventions during World War II, but it is not used for the time being. Without looking closely, he switched to the character interface again, and Su Yi's eyes suddenly lit up:
Recruiting Unit: Scientists
Levy funds: 10,000
Call-up time: 24 hours
Description: The necessary personnel of the war laboratory, the ability and number of scientists, will determine the results and speed of self-development of weapons.
Don't say anything, it's all tears, say goodbye to imitation Soviet-made weapons, you have to rely on these big guys. The 10,000 conscription funds did not frighten Su Yi, it was not expensive, no matter how expensive it was, it was worth it, but the 24-hour conscription time was a little scratching, so the comrade commander was not in a hurry to click on the conscription order. If you look at the others, there's an extra colored icon next to it.
Recruiting Unit: Engineer
Levy funds: 1000
Enlistment time: 1 hour
Explanation: They don't have much fighting skills, they are professionals in the military. Enhancement types: Type 1, Army Engineer Type; the second, the naval base type; The third type, the ground support type of the Air Force.
This is very reasonable, digging a tank pit outside is just a need for engineers, call, come to a platoon first, and then study the scientists. Because after the completion of the chariot factory, the military card and jeep icons in the logistics interface have been activated, and the sappers cannot be allowed to carry the pit on their shoulders to replenish the supplies, and no matter how short of fuel, the sappers cannot suffer. Four military trucks, two jeeps, and it takes 20,000 yuan to consume funds, and the income of four mine trucks is 12,000 a day these days, which is really not anywhere, it is difficult to make money, but it is like running water, if there are no gold bricks that have been robbed, I am afraid that there is no need to study what to build now, just that little money, what to build is not enough, it is good to meet the needs of logistics.
Now we can only hope for the emergence of ore refineries or ...... Looking for a chance to do another vote, nothing is robbed quickly.
With the emergence of sappers, whether it is digging tank bunkers or repairing the positions at the gate, they are much faster, and the quality has been improved a lot, which has strengthened Zhong Yi's idea of letting professionals do professional work.
Click to make eight mining vehicles, and now there are a total of four ore refineries in the base, each refinery can accept three mining vehicles to transport ore, Taizu said well: the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life. After all, robbery is a sideshow, and it is still necessary to take the right path to make a fortune. Before the emergence of ore refineries, it was only possible to increase capital income by adding mining vehicles.
The unexpected surprise is that in the logistics interface, the icon of the scientific and technological oil production well was also found, but unfortunately, there is no oil field within the control area of the base, and we can only look forward to the expansion of the detection range of the base. But oil is a problem that must be solved in the near future, relying only on the reserves in the logistics depot to sit empty, and when the oil is exhausted, it will be miserable! Where can I get a lot of oil? Is it going to attack Perth, the capital of Western Australia?
"Report to the chief, there is an enemy attacking the base, activate the rank promotion mission!" The voice of the female anchor suddenly came, and Zhong Yi in contemplation was taken aback, and then there was ecstasy, it was not surprising that there was an enemy attack, if Rooney didn't tell a lie, thinking about it, the time was almost up, and the ecstasy was that with this enemy attack, the rank mission was actually activated. Major, haha, Lao Tzu is going to have two cents too.

The mission countdown now begins.
