Chapter 386: The Age of Resources (5)

The current equipment of Xijiang Water Village is quite good, Mo Shaoqiu and Medro can be equipped from different countries, and Zhu Guangliang can also help to go through formal or informal channels to get some weapons, for the Western Continent, which has only one inspection company, an indigenous company and an armored company, they can choose equipment at will. [Full text reading]

It was in this situation that the indigenous company was able to carry out its tasks independently as a platoon. Carrying more than 12 heavy machine guns, more than 3 Milanese anti-tank missiles, and more than one machine gun, 30 men were the basic firepower to withstand the onslaught of a heavy infantry battalion, just like before the Battle of Xijiang. Also equipped at the same time are from 3 to 5 armored vehicles, usually two four-wheel drive jeeps, one or more riot vehicles and Samisson.

However, even with such equipment, Li Yizhuang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, not only did he observe the outside at all times, but also ordered the soldiers not to rest, and they all had to pay attention to their surroundings. The Temple Knights of Mara City are not vegetarians. One of the weaker areas where the indigenous companies are weaker than the inspectors is that the average physical skill level is low, so they must keep their eyes open all the time to guard against enemy attacks.

If you don't wear good gear and encounter the Temple Knights, 30 people are not enough for a round of chipping. Even the troops of the Western Continent turned on the radar day and night, holding binoculars and night vision devices. Barbed wire fences are also pulled one after another, and there are always some places in the inner city that are forbidden to enter and exit.

The soldiers are also well aware of the situation, and after nearly a year of training, their quality has improved considerably, and they are no longer ordinary peasants.

Mu Tianhua drove a Humvee and walked first.

He was one of the fastest soldiers to learn to drive. If you want to become a non-commissioned officer, you must learn to drive, which is a hard condition for promotion. Xijiang Water Village provides unlimited learning opportunities, armored vehicles are not afraid of being bad, even so, many soldiers can't learn, just like in the early days of China's liberation, learning to drive is extremely difficult, especially simple repairs, it is almost necessary for these guys who have not been in elementary school to seek death - if they don't understand the mechanical principles, they can only memorize by rote, and if they want to memorize and can't read notes, it is quite a headache

Because of this, Mu Tianhua was extremely proud to be able to drive independently, and even took the initiative to apply to become the front car, that is, the pointed reconnaissance car of the whole row.

He turned on his headlights in broad daylight, stared at the front with his eyes, and ordered from time to time: "Fire reconnaissance." ”

At this time, the turret above the roof of the car will shoot a long series of shè.

The Humvee of the indigenous company was loaded with heavy machine guns, and only the platoon commanders had machine guns on their vehicles.

From time to time, the rear car will also carry out supplementary fire reconnaissance, not necessarily against people, but also at some beasts that are good at hiding. For example, the large jackals that seem to be velociraptors, a dozen or a dozen at a time, have excellent patience, and often curl up in the bushes to hide, once they enter the ambush circle, it is easy to cause casualties. If there were no fighting masters, ordinary Mara City teams would not dare to go deep into the jungle.

Dozens of bullets shuffled out, and the soldier on the turret smacked his lips in pity and said, "Another dozen copper coins." ”

"It's a pity, there's a kind of you who will get it yourself next time." The soldier below with an automatic rifle laughed.

"If I had come to get it before, what would a little life be about."

Mu Tianhua opened half of the window, spit out and said: "Don't look at it, it's only 50 kilometers, if you don't have a car, you can try walking?" If you can't walk for two days and can't come back for four days, can the jackal on the road spare you? ”

"Phew, a year ago, there were 20 copper coins on the road, and you can't pick them up."

A crowd laughed.

The city-state economy is a self-sufficient economic model, lacking clothing and food, everyone can be a hunter, but things cannot be sold for a price, in this case, 20 copper coins is a lot of income.

After the laughter, all five of them clenched their steel guns. Being a soldier is the most promising job in Xijiang Water Village, and it is also the best way for them to change their lives, and the gun in their hands is the greatest guarantee for the future.

The car was quiet, and there was no fire reconnaissance for a long time, and Li Yizhuang in the back suddenly scolded through the walkie-talkie: "Are you fucking lazy?" If you don't want to live, don't harm your brother, give me a gun. ”

"Yes." Mu Tianhua roared and hurriedly waved his hand.

As soon as the machine gun on the rotating turret fired, four figures sprang out from below.

It was the Marats from the ironworks.

They were half frightened to death by the fire reconnaissance, and a string of spears was close at hand, and one of the boys couldn't help but run out, and the others had to follow.

The heavy machine gun unconsciously caught up, and the gun bit Ròu, instantly breaking a person into three pieces, unable to even scream, the large bag on his back was also shattered, and pieces of metal ingots were scattered on the ground, or even shot out.

The penultimate man let out a loud roar and reluctantly turned back, trying to pick up the metal ingot, but was also smashed to pieces by the machine gunner who did not hesitate.

The remaining two men quickly burrowed into the dense forest, a rain of steel splashed in front of them and behind them, their bodies tilted and changed their postures, like dragonflies hiding from the rain, the bullets were blocked by the trees, and the splashed wood chips and clods of earth fell on their bodies, so that they could only keep howling to hide their fear.

The automatic rifle, which is mainly M16, also makes a "click" sound, so that the heavy machine gun will not be so lonely between the long and continuous shè.

The 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun was originally used against the feared tanks of the First World War, and later against low-flying aircraft, at a distance of less than 300 meters, it was 10 times more powerful than the M16 carbine, and could even pierce a large tree hugged by one person.

In a maximum of 20 seconds, another person fell to the ground injured, causing the danger to disappear abruptly.

"Ceasefire!" Li Yizhuang shouted twice in a row, then raised the megaphone in the car, and after eating a konjac, he shouted: "Listen to the people outside, come out slowly, we guarantee the safety of your lives, otherwise we will use machine guns to eliminate them." ”

Repeated, Li Yizhuang personally replaced the gunner on the turret.

He was worried that he would really blow people up.

All four of them were carrying metal ingots. And judging by the reflection on the ground, these metal ingots are of high purity.

Li Yizhuang was extremely excited about this.

The "Lord" Chen Yi ordered to find mineral deposits suitable for mining within a month, and Yu Weichao would disperse all the indigenous people.

However, halfway through the time, they still have no clue. In the Western Continent, metal refining is a mysterious and sacred thing, and only a few people know the mysteries of it, not to mention the villagers outside Mara, and even the lords and nobles of the manor say they don't know. However, the production of copper and iron, and small quantities of platinum and gold in Mara City is a definite matter, and the main thing is now to find the location of the deposits.

Thinking that he could solve this problem, Li Yizhuang couldn't help but keep his finger away from the trigger, he was worried that he would make a mistake by moving too much.

"Come out." He shouted again.

After a long time, a cry suddenly came from the jungle: "You swear." ”

"I swear."

"You're going to save Android." The voices of the people inside were almost crazy and chilling.

"I'll save him as much as I can."

"No, you have to save him." The people inside were already whimpering and crying.

Li Yizhuang scratched his chin with a headache and said, "If you come out, we will save him." What is your name? ”

The people inside still cried and shouted: "Naba, my name is Naba, I don't go out, you deceive people." ”

Li Yizhuang shouted helplessly: "We didn't deceive people. ”

"You're a liar."

"No lies."

"You're a liar."

After five rounds of back and forth, Li Yizhuang gave up and shouted: "Naba, if you don't come out again, his blood will flow clean, and he won't be able to save him." ”

"Didn't you hear that your hospital could save everyone? You lied to me, you are not from Jiangning. “

Li Yizhuang had a feeling of coaxing a child, so he had to answer: "We are." ”

"Take him to the hospital, you swear." The so-called hospital he called was the one that Sima Luo opened after he came to the Western Continent, and now there is only one attending doctor, two of his students, and three barefoot doctors.

Despite this, the combination of 1 good doctor and 5 quacks is also unimaginable for people in the Western Continent.

Kim Doona managed to carry out several propaganda campaigns, and the four miles and eight towns naturally blew the hospital into the sky and forced it to restrict access. This is also the reason why Jiangning people have always had a good reputation. On the other hand, the people of the Western Continent were relatively Westernized and did not reject acts such as anatomy and surgery, which saved Sima Liu's work a lot of trouble.

Now, seeing that his companion's wounds were so terrifying, Tiefang's Naba could only hope for the Jiangning people's hospital. Anyway, the temple sacrifice can't cure such a disease. Since the appearance of the hospital, the main priest has appeared several times and cured several serious diseases, but this kind of good thing is unattainable, and when there is nothing to do, the main priest does not help ordinary people to see a doctor.

An ironmill man who specializes in smelting metals, although quite good among ordinary residents, is too far away from the main priest.

Holding his companion, Naba dropped two packets of metal ingots and emerged from the forest.

"One class, go inside and search." Li Yizhuang raised the machine gun and gave the order categorically.

Searching in the jungle is very dangerous work, only now, metal ingots are more important.

Naba walked all the way to the front of the armored vehicle before being crushed to the ground by the swarming soldiers. His companion had a big hole in his stomach, half of his intestines were bleeding out, and his face was like a golden paper defeat.

"A lot of ingots."

"There's platinum and copper, and a small amount of tin ingots."

There was an exclamation from inside, that they had learned about metal before they came out, and that the soldiers were also very interested, and that in the Western Continent, metal was weapons, and metal was money, and that was the main reason for people to trade - when food was abundant, weapons or iron were the largest trade.

Li Yizhuang was worried that something would happen, so he hurriedly ordered: "The squad leader will collect and pick it up, and everyone is not allowed to leave the jungle coverage." Again, no one is allowed to leave the jungle coverage. ”

Jungle coverage is a specific range, between 300 and 500 meters, depending on the road conditions, which is the best cover range that machine guns and heavy machine guns can provide, and further away it is dangerous.

Under the armored car, Naba cried: "Save Tie Jiu, please, you swore an oath." ”

Li Yizhuang did not get out of the car, but ordered the hygienist to help bandage, and then gave up the gun position to the original gunner, and he nervously picked up the walkie-talkie and asked to talk to the Xijiang headquarters.

The hygienist is also a student of the martial arts hall, Wang Zhi of the nineteenth period, Jiangning Medical College, after graduation, he naturally couldn't find a job, and took the opportunity of the demolition of his family to enter the martial arts hall, and practiced to the second level of physical arts, so he could only come to "abroad" to get two years of "student" treatment.

He carried the box, groggily came to the armored car, looked at the wound roughly, and wanted to vomit in disgust.

A 12.7 mm bullet grazed Tie Jiu's belly from the side, fortunately it didn't hit the internal organs, but it also turned the whole stomach over, and the scarce fat and blood were like a bowl of máo blood, hot with intestines in front of Wang Zhi.

"Stuff him back in the intestines." Wang Zhi said in a hurry, then took out the hemostatic powder, without even looking at it, unscrewed it and poured it out, and then carried out temporary suturing.

Such a wound, if the earthlings do not need to be treated, it is almost certain death. But in the case of a sturdy Western Continenter, Wang Zhi feels that there is still a glimmer of hope. At least when I closed my belly, there was a lot less blood.

"We have to hurry back to Shuizhai, he won't last long." Wang Zhi slapped the shell of the armored car.

"I'll leave as soon as I come back." Li Yizhuang was also busy reporting the situation on the radio.

Xijiang responded quickly, and Yu Weichao personally ordered: "Immediately retreat to a safe place and collect their belongings as much as possible." ”

"Understood." Li Yizhuang tǐngxiōng raised his head, and his excitement was abnormal.

In the water village, Yu Weichao was also happily turning in circles.

Metals are precious commodities in the Western Continent, and a large number of metal ingots means that there is a high probability that they come from a nearby mineral deposit, which is the news that Xijiang Shuizhai wants to obtain the most. It is also the most valuable news at the moment.

It took 10 minutes for the first shift to run back to the armored car, dropping at least 100 kilograms.

"You can also carry it." Li Yizhuang smiled and asked Naba, "See if you have anything left?" ”

"Nope." He didn't raise his head, just hugged his Tiejiu brothers.

Li Yizhuang snorted unhappily and waved his hand to order the whole army to return.

Mu Tianhua is still a sharp knife soldier, happily stepping on the accelerator.

The soldier in the back laughed and said, "Look at the front teeth you laugh at, and you haven't taken it yet." ”

"What do you know, when I came out, the company commander said that finding the mine is to be credited."

Everyone became interested, sat up and asked, "What kind of merit do you remember?" ”

"It seems to be called the Army Collective Merit Medal, which can be embroidered on the cuffs." Mu Tianhua deliberately flicked his cuffs, he has the medal of "Xibao once", and even buying things is cheaper than others, which is the only one in the platoon.

There are so many benefits to medals, and the sooner and more powerful the medal, the more valuable it is.

Nowadays, many soldiers treat medals as if they were titles of nobility, but most certainly don't. Now that I hear that there is a chance to get it, I am simply restless.
