Chapter 30: Replenishment
"It's a pity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Haili raised her head, a look of regret in her eyes. As the commander of friendly forces, Haili knew that five Army soldiers had been killed in this week's battle. At the same time, seven Marines were wounded, but fortunately, there were no casualties. And this time the replenishment of personnel is to supplement the personnel of the commando team. In a Marine group, if one person is missing, then the whole group is not complete, and the firepower will be weak.
"It hasn't been long, but I seem to be getting used to it." After finishing speaking, Li Duoan hugged the steaming cup in a daze, as if he was missing those subordinates he had lost forever. And Haili's focus seemed to return to the barbecue, and the entire command suddenly became quiet.
"Habit" is actually a terrible thing, and perhaps it should be called resilience. Although it is a secret method that mankind has come from time immemorial and can survive to this day. However, in his free time, Li Duoan still felt fear, but this time, the object of his fear was himself.
Torrential rain and thunder continue to rage on the shores of the Golden Green Lake. This large lake, which only exists during the rainy season, has just been named "Golden Green". Needless to say, this was just a whim for Lee, and the lake and topography are always changing during this season.
The clouds tens of kilometers thick were constantly discharging, and although the thunder was not regular, Li Duoan still heard a loud roar that was different from the thunder. It was the sound of an explosive catapult weapon commonly used by the locals of Ang Ge when it exploded. Li Duoan heard it at the first time, and what convinced him that he was not wrong was that Hai Li suddenly stopped the barbecue and looked up at his movements.
"Here we go again." Li Duoan sighed a little tiredly. Ever since the entry of the new force of the Union Army, the rebels of Ang Ge have used super-improvised explosive weapons to attack the Union Army.
The weapons weren't very lethal, at least compared to the Federation's standard weapons, and the power of these ancient explosive weapons was pitiful. It's just that the frequent attacks make all the soldiers tense their nerves, and it is easy to get tired of the war.
"Is it the seventh or eighth time today?" The major shook his head, jumped off the base of the tactical sand table, and walked towards the gate of the headquarters without forgetting to greet a certain lieutenant who had already continued to barbecue. "I'll go ahead and have a look."
Li Duoan, who is no longer afraid of fighting, seems very excited during this time. Although the sky outside was still raining that could smash people to pain, this did not affect Li Duoan's mood.
Walking out of the temporary headquarters, Li Duoan's car stopped not far from the door. The multi-purpose command vehicle with the military number DQ-3 is also called "Green Olive" by soldiers who like her because of its olive-like appearance and the army's characteristic green camouflage.
Together, she and several of her other sister models of vehicles form the Federation's superiority in ground equipment on the planet. It has a certain ability to fly in the atmosphere, and can ignore various terrain on the ground. Starship-class armor brings unimaginable defense to the Alpha natives, and the combat vehicle's civilian naval gun-enhanced weapon platform also brings an attack power that not only surpasses the level of Alpha technology, but even has superiority over the entire known universe ground.
Getting into the command vehicle that was large enough to hold twenty people, Li Duoan saw the flashing red areas on the flat map. Located directly east of the camp, in the undoubted area of the firefight.
In the chariot, the captain in charge of the eastern defense looked very laid-back. Obviously, the intensity of the enemy's attack was not high, and for these soldiers, who were accustomed to fighting, it was nothing more than an appetizer before dinner.
"Sir."
The communications officer, who was sitting at the door, straightened up very nervously when he saw Li Duoan come in. Obviously, the young corporal was only habitually trying to salute, but the space in the chariot was very limited, and it was obviously impossible for him to complete the whole movement while sitting in front of the communication desk.
Although the Army was newly established, the gap between officers and soldiers was very serious. Although the reasons for such a problem are very complex. However, Li Duoan was uneasy, believing that this situation was not conducive to combat. For example, in this case, the communications officer has something to do at hand, but he spends his precious time saluting. In the Marine Corps, they are in a state of deployment, but they are full of ease and comfort in battle.
When they first met, Li Duoan's understanding of the Marine Corps was that of a battle maniac, and he felt that the Marines' attitude towards combat was like a game. However, by now, Li Duoan has understood. This kind of war can indeed be maddening if it is not viewed in a more relaxed way.
For the first time, the soldiers of the Army and Marine Corps were in disarray. On starships, long battles are more done by machines. And here, more people are needed. And those who resisted, always came to attack day and night, and then were quickly beaten by the fire of the federal army. Even a well-trained army will always get tired of such a defenseless adversary.
For example, now......
The eastern line of defense, which was defended by three companies, the commander requested battalion fire support. The communications non-commissioned officer was not in charge, and this was originally a request that needed to be reported to Li Doan or a few other captains. Accustomed to the commanders' quick adaptability, it is indeed a little strange that there is no reaction for more than ten seconds. So, this corporal who was just doing his duty reminded Li Duoan. "Sir, E0 requests Level 3 artillery support. How do we respond? ”
Li Duoan clasped his hands in front of his chest, as if considering this request. His tactical helmet also spotted this communication request, and if it had been before, of course a request of this magnitude would have passed.
Lieutenant Lei Hu is the company commander under Li Duoan. As Li Duoan's right-hand man, his troops were in charge of the defense of the Eastern District. And I don't know what's going on, Lei Hu's company is always very unlucky to be on the side of the attack. Over the past week, his company has been attacked twenty-nine times, two people have been killed and seventeen have been injured of varying severity. You know, his company had only one hundred and eighty men in total.
But now, the supply tension has been confirmed, so although Li Duoan understands Lei Hu's anger very well, he has to consider the use of ammunition for the entire army. Although the army's supplies were sufficient, the Marine Corps comrades were jealous, envious and hateful.
"The request is dismissed. Also, all troops are required to save ammunition. Li Duoan vetoed the request of his subordinates. Then, as if explaining to his subordinates, he said. "In the next five months, our supply will be reduced. It's better to learn to start adapting now. ”
Although the battalion headquarters rejected the request for fire support, which surprised the army on the eastern defense line, the army, which still had the upper hand in equipment and firepower, still repelled the attackers very easily. Not much different from the previous battle, the attacker died tragically under the superior firepower of the Federation. The courage and sacrifice of those Anga tribesmen were not even more affected by the changing weather here than the Union soldiers.
Perhaps, many years later, when Alpha became an integral part of the Federation, it would be ridiculous and pathetic to look back at the resistance of the Anga people now.
Towards evening, a huge curved roof had already taken shape in the hard work of the engineers. A silvery metallic sheen, shining under the light of the stars. In the words of Haili, a guy with no emotional cells in her head, this is a sparkling target.
As the largest construction worker on the construction site, Moji rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and explained the reason with a flattering face in Hai Li's questioning eyes. "Time is pressing, so I didn't paint camouflage for the time being."
"Golden Green Lake? Very vivid name. "The head of the logistics transport team, a non-commissioned officer of the second class, arrived at the base on time with his convoy and the last regular supply of the entire unit.
The water and sky are vast, and birds from nowhere are flying over the lake. From time to time, the ripples brought by the wind crashed on the shore, splashing countless dazzling white sprays. The monsoon, with its heavy vapour, presses down on the somewhat dry and cracked earth from high altitude. Although the sky was still filled with the rumbling of thunder, the thick moisture moistened the desert area, which had been almost still in the scorching sun not long ago.
Countless vegetation and life will be revived by the monsoon rains, the parched riverbed of the scattered hardy plants will once again be a source of life, and the mire will once again become a lake. The forests will once again be verdant and flourishing, and the weeds that have grown tenaciously in the shadows of the boulders will spread into endless meadows.
For the Yanhuang people, who are accustomed to the four distinct seasons, everything that happens on the Alpha planet seems extraordinarily magical. The desolate surface, after just a few days of thunderstorms, turned into a verdant world. Although it was not the surface climate they were accustomed to, there was no doubt that the Yanhuang people's worship of nature was undisguised compared to the highly industrialized Emma people.
Merely......
"What's that?" The shiny building is simply a target. Lincy, who returned from injury, came to the same conclusion as his commander with the way of thinking of a veteran.
"That thing is an egg."
Merlo looked at all the man-made structures in his sight in disgust. The base, which had been in operation for less than eight hours, was already beginning to take shape, and on the shores of a lake with such beautiful natural scenery, it was full of military buildings full of pragmatism and thus showing teeth and claws. Those buildings that are either green or silver are exactly the Mohist style that Mo Luo is familiar with, but he hates because of it. (To be continued.) )
