Chapter 253: Marines
In the hearts of the citizens, the Jinling defense line is like a protective god, not only the two rings of ancient and modern solid walls, but also the huge fortifications and supporting systems built around them, there will be an underground ammunition stock every standard distance, hoarding enough ammunition to meet the needs of the ground troops at this distance, and the logistics department always pays attention to the consumption of these hidden warehouses, so as to ensure that even in the middle of the battle, the soldiers of the defense do not have to worry about supplies.

But although it is called the "Jinling Defense Line", the magnificent city wall that looks quite amazing does not contain the entire Jinling in the real sense, it is also said that a city often contains the surrounding satellite towns, if you want to fully include these areas, even if the project is huge, even if the power of a city can be completed, the materials consumed will exceed the limit that can be borne in the difficult environment of the last days, the millions of people gathered in Jinling City are not all young and strong, and there are almost equal proportions of women and children, During the construction of the city wall, a considerable number of people could not produce sufficient benefits in addition to consuming resources in vain, and they were all indispensable members of human society.
The current two-story city wall was built about 12 miles along the course of the Yangtze River, and the known information that the insects were afraid of water also appeared on the table of the Jinling decision-makers shortly after the invasion, which led to the moat that was dug completely according to the ancient style.
The difficulty of excavating a moat is no less difficult than that of building a wall, especially when the decision was made to excavate only to find that the boats that could transport the excavated sediment had long since been dismantled, which made the decision to excavate the original flat ground finally aborted, and after reconsideration, the final moat was positioned on the existing waterway, except for some necessary connections, the rest of the waterway was dug wide and deep, so that the existing small bridges on the waterway could transport the sediment and carry out the hanging operation. The difficulty of large-scale re-building is avoided, after all, ships are the real gold-eating monsters of human creation, which can be seen from the comparison of resources of the navy, land and air forces.
The city wall is built according to the moat, and the moat is excavated around the existing waterway, starting from the Yangtze River tunnel on the west side, through the west line of the inner ring, the moat ends in the Baqiao Ecological Wetland Park to form a natural "L" shape, and from there vertically to the north, located on the inner side of the Changshen Expressway, relying on the Jiuxiang River to enter the Yangtze River after turning a big bend. Although the eastern part of the city has been abandoned, the Zhongshan Scenic Area has been built with a situation that is extremely high above the surrounding terrain.
Dense cobwebbed roads and several subway lines ensured the discreet and uncontrolled movement of troops within the city, and the waterways that ran through the city irrigated the newly cultivated fields. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, with millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops guarding it, this huge Jinling is really not something that Qin Feng can take down in one fell swoop.
This is also the reason why Wang Ba will take the fleet into the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River looked as calm as it did at night, with three warships lined up under the majestic Second Bridge, precisely calculated intervals to ensure that they were able to withstand the shelling of long-range heavy artillery and avoid being hit by the collapsed bridge.
The damp and cold white fog that permeated the entire river had gradually thickened, and not long ago standing in front of the porthole could still see the buildings in the distance, but now even the adjacent warships had faintly disappeared into the mist.
The massive hull of the General-class battleship resembles a giant moored less than 100 meters from the shore, and its spacious and shallow draft design allows it to enter shallow areas of shallow water that ordinary warships of this size cannot enter, and even some of the more spacious river tributaries.
The four Thunderbolt transports placed on the flat platform at the front of the battleship slid into the river like swimming fish, and at the moment when they were about to hit the river, the anti-gravity engine was instantly activated, and the calm water suddenly set off rolling ripples like a hurricane, and then quickly returned to calm.
Because of the existence of the Thunderbolt Transport Boat, an artifact that ignores the terrain, Qin Feng has ordered the rubber inflatable lifeboat equipped on the battleship to be replaced with this kind of little guy who can quickly escape from dangerous waters with his crew with his stealth characteristics. After learning that the empire's warships were still equipped with traditional lifeboats, Qin Feng felt incredible for a while, and it also gave him a new understanding of the rigidity of the imperial soldiers, so he also specially reviewed all the weapons and equipment currently produced by the empire to see if there might be some slightly naïve aging designs.
Although the Thunderbolts used as lifeboats were all thinned out of their hulls and reduced the power of their thrusters in order to ensure that the load impact on the battleship was minimal, their camouflage function was not affected in any way.
Given that Qin Feng had not yet encountered the kind of large-scale naval battles that could sink his own warships, and therefore had not been able to test the actual impact of this replacement in actual combat, for the marines who relied on battleship transports to attack, it was much more comfortable to ride in these brisk transports than to stay in a speedboat with a frightening roar of engines.
The squad carried on the general-class battleship belongs to the second defense force that Wang Ba applied to Qin Feng for secret dispatch after he unfolded the Imperial Shipyard, and for the naval base with spear mini submarines, wing-type deformed sea and air submarines, and tsunami tank arch guards, the infantry force of only a few dozen people seems to have become chicken ribs, not to mention that this is also an extremely hidden small base, and it is easy to be exposed if there are more people.
This shows the importance of this infantry unit that doubled the number compared to the first time brought by Wang Ba, and Qin Feng had the idea of forming a marine corps from the beginning. His underground base is located in Jiangnan, and Jinling City, which is an indispensable help on his way forward, is also located in Jiangnan, which determines that his range of activities will be concentrated in a corner of Jiangnan for at least a short period of time, and the most significant feature here is the water transportation network that extends in all directions, and in view of the fact that the insects are afraid of water, transporting troops from the surface is undoubtedly the safest and most secure choice, and as we all know, the setting in the Red Alert game is that soldiers cannot go into the water, Although I don't know why such a strange setting still exists after the Red Police Corps reappeared in reality, Qin Feng can't always let the fact that he has a group of landlubbers at hand continue to exist, and those army units that are fighting head-on with the insect swarm are still counted, but at least he must have an amphibious force that can be as proficient in water-based rivers, lakes and seas as Natasha and other heroic units, so as to avoid facing the dilemma of being armless when he has to wade into the water.
Yuriko has been unlocked, but her ability to use telekinesis to float above everything means that she can only be a warrior rather than a good instructor. And although Natasha of the Soviet Union meets all the requirements of an all-round tactical instructor, she needs a combat laboratory to unlock her, and as of now, Qin Feng has just scraped together the funds that are almost dry because of the fact that he has cleaned up the mountains of insect swarm corpses on the battlefield in Jinling, how can he conjure such an extremely expensive living person out before Yu Yue.
This led to a situation in which Qin Feng's Marines were very different from the standard style of the Marines of various countries around the world today, because in desperation, he finally sent a ninja to train his first amphibious infantry. (To be continued.) )
