Chapter Twenty-Six: Old Acquaintances
We arrived at the Levinsk fortress a week later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was the base from which the Northern Army advanced against Kerch and was the most important coastal defense stronghold of the Northern Army, which is said to have withstood pirates and powerful Union naval attacks countless times throughout history.
From the appearance, it has the style of the old century fortress, but the internal structure is completely different, densely packed with machine gun fortresses, heavy artillery fortresses, tank fortresses, missile fortresses, plus countless barbed wire, trenches, mines, composite parapets, the whole fortress is made airtight, known as the "fortress that does not fall".
We are an amphibious combat unit, and the first target is naturally to go to the amphibious mecha, but when we go to the armory, we find that there is no customary [sea wolf], because this is only a mecha in the small batch trial production stage, and the inventory in the regular army is also seriously insufficient, of course, it is impossible to supply us miscellaneous armies.
"Hey, hurry up and pick, don't keep thinking about the latest model of the body, it's for the elite troops, and it's a waste to smash it in your hands." The quartermaster, whose nostrils were almost pointing upwards, said with a look of disdain.
In desperation, we had to choose another model of amphibious mecha X09 [Manatee].
It's a large mech that weighs more than fifty tons, and arguably the heaviest amphibious mecha I've ever seen, with a fat body that always reminds people of a double-layered burger in a fast-food restaurant, and a huge thruster that looks like the barrel of some kind of artillery.
It's just terrifying.
It is said that this was the main competitor of [Seawolf] at the time of the bidding, and it once entered the final review stage, but in the end, due to poor land mobility and insufficient firepower, more than 10 units were thrown into the warehouse and eaten ashes, and now all of them are used as waste into our equipment sequence.
I first got on the plane for a test drive, and the whole operation felt unbelievably heavy, it was like pulling a cow, and I had never seen such a bulky mech, compared to the [Seawolf] was as light as a bicycle.
However, this thing immediately showed perverted performance as soon as it got out of the water, it was Xiaobei's two cargo control mechas, after the engine was preheated, he habitually stepped on the accelerator to two-thirds of the position, but I didn't expect [Manatee] to be an automatic transmission, the whole mecha flew out like a torpedo, and rushed from the shallow sea to the deep sea, scared Xiaobei to let out a pig-like howl, we hurriedly found two sea wolves, and it took a lot of effort to drag the dead mecha back.
A few of us jumped into the cockpit, Xiaobei's goods had already rolled their eyes, we had to drag him out to beat his chest and rub his back, tossing for a long time to wake him up, at this time, the military advisor also jumped into the cockpit, called out the instrument menu and looked at it twice, and took a sharp breath.
"His grandmother's, it's amazing."
I have the impression that the military advisor has always been a civilized person, or pretending to be a civilized person, and he rarely spits dirty words, and whenever he says dirty words, it must indicate that something big has happened.
"What's wrong, Strategist?"
"The maximum speed of this thing, that's the number."
The military advisor slowly stretched out four fingers, then spread another hand.
Forty-five verses!
The remaining deficiencies and shortages can only be made up with the old [Tsar Scimitar] and [Gada], the latter is an improved model of [Ancient Tower], retaining most of the design of [Ancient Tower], and the main improvement focuses on strengthening the much-criticized body structure, but the performance has not improved much, but it has been produced as a supplement to the [Tsar Scimitar] before its service, which is an extremely unpopular model, and now these old machines that have piled up at least ten centimeters of dust have also been picked up by us.
In this way, we have basically become an ordinary army armored battalion.
However, even if we put it together, our equipment is still seriously insufficient, a volunteer battalion is supposed to need at least 120 mechas, plus 10 tanks, but our number of mecha is only a quarter, not a single tank, even such a pitiful heavy weapon is still seriously lacking in effective armament, a total of only four old 23mm twin-mounted machine guns, two rocket launchers, anti-armor missiles without a single one, the whole battalion is like a bare ass.
Because of our lack of experience, we moved much slower, and the arsenal was first looted by the elite troops, then by the regular army, and then by the volunteer battalions, which took away all the useful equipment. The big guy went crazy to find all the firearms that could be fired, and some infantry were moved out with 120mm heavy mortars, and the chassis was removed and welded on the back of the mecha, but it could not be integrated with the fire control system, and the hit was estimated to only depend on the character.
The most terrifying thing is that I even saw a 107mm howitzer cast during the founding war of the old kingdom in the messy weapon pile, which was rusted into a pile of garbage, and was also forcibly mounted on the shoulder of a [Gada] by Long Fei and others to act as a support firearm.
After the messy rehabilitation, we were completely moved by the mess of equipment in front of us.
This is a army, it's just a bunch of people who want to eat!
However, Brother Gang's interest was very high, and he jumped on a transport truck and shouted at our group of sluggish little brothers: "Brothers, this is very good, very good, in the afternoon, everyone should welcome the arrival of the chief officers with full enthusiasm!" ”
Everyone rolled their eyes.
In the afternoon, the colonels and lieutenant colonels who were ready to be promoted came to the volunteer garrison one after another, and began to select suitable troops as a supplement to the combat troops, and those well-equipped and well-staffed volunteer battalions were of course selected by the elite brigades at the first time, and happily joined the combat sequence of the regular army, which also means that their survival chances and treatment will be higher.
And those second-line corps with poor combat strength and insufficient establishment can only frown, in line with the principle that potatoes are also food, and more guns have more strength, and those volunteer battalions with relatively poor equipment and insufficient personnel are included in the establishment, which is more unlucky, and it will definitely be the first batch of cannon fodder to be consumed in wartime.
But the worst thing is that we, the understaffed and equipped volunteer battalions, do not want our hollow radishes to occupy precious places. The officers in charge took a look at our messy equipment and scattered personnel, and instantly lost interest, turned around and left without asking.
In just one morning, I watched at least twenty asses!
Seeing that the sun is about to go down, and there are fewer and fewer officers, the big guys are anxious, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that they will be directly beaten into the garrison defense troops, so what are you talking about going to the front line to find people?
"Hey, you haven't been recruited yet, have you?"
Suddenly, a sonorous male voice remembered above me, and as soon as I looked up, a tall young officer was standing in front of me, with his back to the remnants of the sunset, and the light glittered me.
"Consult over there, our officers are ..........."
I was halfway through my impatient speech, when I suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, and this person was also a little familiar, and I always felt that I had seen it somewhere.
it!
I jumped up in shock, pointed at the tip of the guy's nose and shouted:
", ........why are you here!"
The young officer smiled proudly, showing a pat of white teeth, and the guards beside him stopped working, slapped my hand away and said, "Who are you kid, how do you talk to the commander!" ”
I took a closer look, and this guy has three gold stars on his epaulette, Colonel!
"Forget it, second lieutenant, don't care, we are acquaintances, let's save ordinary courtesy." The young officer smiled kindly, not paying the slightest attention to my wary look.
At this time, Brother Gang's military division also rushed over when they heard the sound, and they were all startled when they saw the young officers, and immediately stood up and saluted.
"Okay, okay, so be it."
The young officer lazily waved his hand, signaling that they could put it down.
"15th Panzer Division" Blue Wolf ", Chief of the General Staff, Eifman; Ivanov, your equipment is quite unique, is it an amphibious armored battalion? ”
I almost squirted, but I was choked.
Make no mistake, this second ancestor turned out to be an officer of the most elite corps of the Northern Army, and he was also one of the chief officers, and sure enough, the relationship was different.
"Yes sir, although we are not satisfied with the establishment, we all have high morale and strong combat effectiveness, and we are eager to ........" Brother Steel said in a tense tone.
But before he could finish his sentence, little Ivanov again lazily waved his hand, interrupting what he had not said.
"'Eager to be born and die for the country, willing to die on the battlefield to show his reputation', right, okay, okay, I have heard this passage not a hundred times, but eighty times, it was copied from the Directory's No. 1080 conscription advertisement, and there is no creativity at all."
Brother Steel blushed in embarrassment.
Little Ivanov fumbled in the pocket of his military jacket, took out a crumpled note, signed a few words randomly, and then handed it to Brother Gang.
"No, take this, and report to the unit of the 15th Armored Division tomorrow."
Everyone was stupid, no one expected this to happen, neither asked about the equipment, nor the personnel, and even the name of the chief officer directly rowed the troops away, and it was also under the command of one of the seven main forces, which was unheard of at all, and Brother Steel didn't even know how to take the note.
The guard officer next to little Ivanov was also anxious: "Hey, colonel, this is too messy, this volunteer unit is completely a pile of scrap metal, how can you put them in the battle sequence of our elite troops!" ”
"What's the solution, who told an acquaintance here, with my authority, I must open a back door." Little Ivanov even retorted justifiably.
"Please don't make cheating so clear, thank you." I rolled my eyes.
"Haha, don't care about the details."
Little Ivanov smiled lightly, and then stabbed me secretly.
"For the sake of this favor, is it okay for Kanona to lend me two days to play?"
“……… Is it okay to let me fight to death first? ”
"Hahaha, just kidding, don't be impulsive, that's the way it is, see you tomorrow."
Little Ivanov waved his hand and turned out leisurely, his back was very chic.
I suddenly felt a chill in my body, and the atmosphere around me fell into a terrible silence, and I craned my neck and laughed awkwardly, "So........ then, brothers, I'll go first........ go to ....... toilet first." ”
As soon as I took a step, Bang Bang shoveled me away with a sweeping leg, and the other brothers didn't say a word, and they knocked me over and punched me and kicked me violently.
"Fuck, let you pretend to be forced, there are so many big related households that don't say it, it hurts the old men to bask in the sun for a day, alas, this kid wants to run, hang him up and beat him, I have to break a dog's leg today!"
