Lei Qingrang, who had been idle many times on the Fukuzawa and ran to the kitchen to help, came to the air crew area again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Since the start of the landing battle, Lei Qingrang seems to have developed this habit.

The air crew commanders were busy in their respective positions, and everyone's tone seemed to be smooth and indifferent from a mold. This is the atmosphere of war peculiar to the air forces, calm, rational, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. There was no loud command from the Marines during the battle, and there was no constant report of damage from the Chief of the General Service during the gunboat battle.

"It's still that busy." Lei Qingrang walked behind the temporary colonel of Eilinkus, only to find that the entire command system was already operating at full capacity, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The ammunition supply sequence of the thirty-third squadron is advanced. Driver rotation must be completed within two hours. Lieutenant Resing, you take over the situation of the 35th Squadron. Angelot heard the voice, but she had too much work in her hands, and it wasn't until she had handed over most of the work that she turned around and said "I'm sorry."

"Nothing. There are still some people who are short of manpower. Lei Qingrang was a little helpless. The fleet had already concentrated all the air crew officers it could mobilize here, but it was still not enough.

"Nope. There are enough people, but the old system is a little overwhelmed. Angelot kindly explained to the layman. Of the entire combat system, the most that has been done here is to link the bases of all aviation squadrons. This is because the communication power of carrier-based aircraft is not yet enough to cover the star field. But now, the Fukuzawa's communication situation is almost at the limit. ”

If it is the latest phoenix-class of the Federation, it is not a problem to maintain the coordinated operation of 120,000 fighters of the twenty-four brigades. It's just that this kind of thing can't be said in front of many subordinates, after all, it is already a category of complaints.

"If only there were a phoenix." Lei Qingrang had seen many Phoenix-class battleships, the most famous of which was the Zhenhai, the flagship of Admiral Linde, Grand Admiral of the Third Central Fleet of the Federation Navy.

"In the past five years, the report on the application for equipment renewal has been written 27 times, but none of them have been approved." Angelot said speechlessly. The temporary colonel was actually laughing at himself, if the logistics department agreed to the equipment update, the Fukuzawa would not be on the retirement list, so it was detained by Lu Lu and stuffed into the exploration fleet to serve as an air base before the major dismantling.

"There is reliable information that we will have a lot of support in the near future. So, you'll probably have to be prepared to move your entire command to a new location at any time. "Don't look at Lei Qingrang is no longer in service with the Federation, but in terms of being well-informed, she is second to none in the entire fleet. Throughout the USS, there were many people who were happy to divulge information to the former General Affairs Chief.

"How close has it been?" Angelot seemed attracted by the news and asked happily. However, Lei Qingrang was a little embarrassed, because she didn't know how close it was, after all, the specific day was highly confidential, so she had to pretend to be serious.

"Your Excellency Colonel, you know, this is a top secret."

At this, Olympus rolled his eyes at Ray Qingrang.

……

A month later, the Phoenix-class equipment that His Excellency Provisional Colonel had been thinking about did not arrive. The refitting plan of the new battleships of the Federal Navy will not cover the exploration fleet that is not even second-rate for the time being.

Therefore, this time, nearly 100 cans of K were sent to more than 5 million recruits with secondary education. They will wear brown uniforms, Type III combat suits, and standard weapons such as magnetic rail-type assault rifles and sergeant knives. Their armbands were rifles with olive branches, while the armbands read "Glory to the Union Army."

The Army, which had disappeared for two hundred years, was rebuilt, as if the central government's original promise that the army would not interfere in domestic law enforcement, and the place where they appeared again was not a domestic battlefield, but a "remote" source area.

On the Yellow Heights, in the headquarters of the 107th Brigade of the Marine Corps, Mu Zhendong in front of the communication screen scratched his head, "So, this group of friendly troops who have never fought before want to fight with us?" ”

"Roughly yes." A rare indeterminate statement in the military. Seeing the serious and mean expression on the face of the commander of the ground army, Mu Zhendong shrunk his neck and swallowed back the words of refusal.

"So, when will our personnel replenishment arrive?" Mu Zhendong asked. In the past month, the troops have lost more than 100 casualties, almost as many as they lost in that raid. And the more than 100 killed were all attacked while patrolling because of the overflow of sympathy.

As Lieutenant Hayley complained in the most rare way: "Do you want to tell their families that they were killed by their scrawny rescuers because of their kindness?" Instead of revealing the truth of the facts, let them keep a glimmer of illusion. ”

"Reinforcements will also arrive this time, but at the end. This, the meaning of the command...... You get the idea. After the meaningful words fell, there was a chirp and the communication screen went black.

"Understood, understood. Isn't that what it is, raising the prestige of our army? ”

……

The army GIs, neatly dressed in brown uniforms, carrying rifles, sabers, and marching bags, walked out of a neat queue from the large landing craft that landed in the berthing area.

A complete formation means a comprehensive firepower, and a complete officer lineup means a smooth command system, and there is no need to think about whether there will be an accident when landing. In addition to combat experience, the Army's GIs were in a much better position than the Marine Corps. This is the preference of the Yanhuang people.

"I bet it won't take a week for this bunch to be like us." Inkmark said to his cousin Merlo as he crouched on an observation post on the high ground, chewing dry food.

The Desert Camouflage Mode suit is in combat mode throughout the day, and the control of the weapon's fire power is also issued to the soldier himself. The most important thing is that you should never take off your helmet and tickle it in the trenches.

The combat environment on the planetary surface is worse than fleet warfare. At the very least, the fleet of the Federation Navy would not be so short of supplies, and of course, the water on the small starship was very disgusting until it was filtered by the recycling system. So, all starship crew members were asked not to try to understand the operation of this system.

However, small starships do not have marines, and the formation of marines exists only on large warships above heavy cruisers. As a result, there was a lot of discomfort among the Marines who went to the surface to fight. Among them, there is also an enemy that cannot be solved in battle, and this problem is perhaps the most serious.

Groups of soldiers took up lodgings in the Yellow Heights, and the hard-working, accustomed to the comfort of the marines, hollowed out the hill and advanced a kilometer below the level. Two squads of engineers spent a month turning this small plateau into an underground fortress.

Mu Zhendong met the colonel commander of the 1157th Regiment of the Army at his command post. It is different from the more common group, squad, squadron, and brigade of the Marine Corps. The army will continue to use the old establishment, and a complete army regiment will include the regimental artillery battalion and the logistics and medical battalion, and the number of troops will directly exceed 2,000 when the strength is full. And a fully staffed Marine Corps brigade has only about a thousand fighters.

However, the Federation is indeed different, at least after the expansion, the number of members of the Marine Corps directly under the Federation has increased to 3,000 people. And when fighting on the surface, additional artillery will be equipped as needed. After all, before the Battle of Alpha, the federal military did not even have a complete land weapons system.

Fortunately, the Federation has many objects to refer to, including the Emma Empire and the Galactic Empire, who have generously provided technical support as allies of the Federation in the Fountain Domain. For example, large-scale base delivery, and high-altitude orbit support platforms.

"Commander of the 1157th Regiment of the Federal Army, Mai Dongan, according to the order of the command, our unit will cooperate with your unit in the coming months." When introducing himself, Colonel McDon was reserved and said with a straight look.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel McDonnell. I am Mu Zhendong, commander of the 107th Marine Brigade directly under the USS Confederation. This is my commando leader, Lieutenant Hailey. Mu Zhendong stood up and saluted with a solemn face, and then introduced his most proud subordinate to the colonel in a formulaic tone.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Colonel." Haili raised her hand in salute and spoke politely.

Although the lieutenant's expression was serious and his tone was full of peace, Mai Dongan couldn't see a hint of honor in the other party's eyes.

"I'm honored to work with the Hero Force, which will allow us to gain more valuable combat experience." I was surprised and surprised, but Mai Dongan's behavior was still full of that inexplicable sense of superiority.

Mu Zhendong noticed Hai Li's diffuse eyes and wailed in his heart. I knew that Haili couldn't even do even the most minimal social activities.

To be honest, there was some resistance from the Marine Corps to the arrival of the Army. Presumably, in their opinion, this group of well-dressed army troops came here just to steal the fruits of his sacrifice and struggle. At the end of the day, the Marines didn't understand what the High Command was doing.

On top of that, the GIs didn't look reliable at all. On the battlefield, reliable comrades-in-arms will be the guarantee of life. However, this group of Army, the Marines who have been living with the sand for a month, feel that they can smell the milky smell of those Army troops from afar.

"Where, learn from each other and make progress together." Colonel McDonnell tried to lighten the mood, his modest words were completely different from the swagger he had introduced himself before. "Besides, I was in the Marine Corps before I moved to the Army. So, I know the traditions of our Marine Corps. (To be continued.) )
