Chapter 46: The Beginning of the Calamity
The Nirvana Mercenary Regiment now has enough food and salt for more than 1,200 people, including the families of the members, to eat and drink for several months. Even taking precautions, Li Yang not only dug enough wells, but also stored water in several water tanks, all of which were for the reserve of the demon siege city.
After absorbing the materials of the Wolf Warrior Regiment, Li Yang finally reorganized the Nirvana Mercenary Group.
According to the establishment of a squad of ten people, a platoon of three squads, and a platoon of three platoons and a squad, four combat companies, a guard platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon, were formed.
The reconnaissance platoon and the guard platoon were both reinforced platoons, numbering forty-five people.
Hong Jun, Zhang Sheng, Wang Mang, and Qi Wenliang served as company commanders, guard platoon commander Zheng Xiaobin, and reconnaissance platoon commander Huang Yuan.
A logistics escort team was also formed, headed by Wang Yuan, with 50 people, responsible for maintaining order in the family area.
As for Wang Hong, after his repeated requests, he was transferred to the guard platoon and served as the leader of the communications squad.
In order to deal with the impending demonic siege, Li Yang divided his soldiers into three classes, riflemen, grenadiers, and sword and shield soldiers.
The riflemen were equipped with a Binh Duong-made one and a long bayonet.
The grenadiers were armed with throwing weapons such as grenades and incendiary grenades, as well as a long bayonet.
The sword and shield bearers are equipped with a long bayonet and a shield.
Shields are useless in human-to-human combat, but they work wonders when facing demons that attack from close combat and corrosive ranged attacks.
Therefore, the rectangular shield of skin alloy appeared in Li Yang's army, this kind of shield with a length of one meter and three meters and a width of sixty centimeters was enough to block anyone from retracting into it.
According to Li Yang's assumption, the riflemen accounted for 30 percent, the grenadiers accounted for 2 percent, and the remaining five became sword and shield soldiers.
As for the earthen guns and shotguns, Li Yang sold them all, this kind of thing has made Li Yang hateful, and his own people can't use this kind of weapon like a time bomb!
Thirty percent of the riflemen are made in Pingyang with more than 150 shots, and Li Yang now has 90 rods, and the factory is stepping up production, processing parts in two shifts every day.
It was expected that there would be one hundred and fifty guns when the battle came, and now that the bullets were not too tight, the ninety guns were evenly distributed to each company platoon, so that the soldiers who were selected as riflemen began to practice shooting targets and familiarize themselves with the guns.
At first, the soldiers were a little puzzled about Li Yang's sword and shield soldiers, but since May 17, everyone gradually understood what was going on.
Because on the mercenary square, a company commander of a Ssangyong mercenary group said: "In the field, we found thousands of small devils, the number is overwhelming, and the number of small winged demons in the sky has also increased, one of our battalions, just more than 30 kilometers to the north, has had to withdraw, and the losses are heavy, more than 100 people have not returned!" ”
When this kind of thing happens, it may not be taken seriously, but when the miracle mercenary group found hundreds of cerberus, and the Jiujiang mercenary group was wiped out of more than 300 people in the wild, and fell out of the top ten mercenary group rankings, everyone found that the demons in the dangerous areas of the wild were increasing, and they were increasing dramatically!
The news that a large number of demons appeared in the north of the city, the east of the city, and the west of the city continued to come, and on the eighteenth, it was not limited to the eastern district where the mercenaries were located, and it became full of wind and rain, although the government was trying its best to refute the rumors, but seeing the army and the three super mercenary groups of Miracle, Shuanglong, and Huoguang going out of the city again, the shock and sadness after coming back, everyone knew that the situation outside the city was grim.
On the 20th, the government began to vacate some areas, and people were still wondering what was going on, and that evening, there was a large influx of refugees.
These are all people from the small and small settlements on the periphery, all south of Pingzhou City, and tens of thousands of people are pouring in every day.
The resettlement of refugees and the construction of the city wall all indicate that a major crisis is coming.
No matter how big or small, the mercenary groups no longer go out, and the people in the city are stockpiling food, and many people find that only six windows are open at the huàn office, and the speed of the huàn is very slow.
Gradually, this anomaly spread infinitely under the sense of crisis, and finally more and more people found that the government seemed to be issuing too many food stamps.
Li Yang didn't pay much attention to the wind and rain in the outside world, he had already prepared a qiē in advance, this kind of impetuousness before the catastrophe, he experienced it once, he didn't need to experience it a second time, it was very boring.
Li Yang trains with the army every day, as long as he is free, he will be like this, although his current body has made great progress, but it is still much worse, if he wants to recover to the peak body of his previous life, Li Yang can only persevere in training.
Li Yang's example often appeared on the training ground, making the soldiers train harder, although they practiced like dead dogs every day, but the rich meals, as well as the evening basketball games, bonfires and other pastimes made them feel relaxed.
The combination of work and rest, this is what Li Yang requires, his fighters only need to train to fight, don't worry about other things, they only know every day, eat, train, and sleep, this is what Li Yang requires at this stage.
Sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime, this sentence has been shouted countless times in peacetime, and many people listen to it as a joke, but in this new era, no one will laugh at a person who trains hard, only train with him.
If you don't improve your strength, you can improve your chances of survival in this last world.
Especially the cooperation between the three arms, Li Yang even used the teaching building as a fake city wall, constantly simulating the scene when the demon attacked the city, and there was an hour-long group class every night, and Li Yang told the characteristics, attack habits, and weaknesses of various demons, so that the soldiers could be more prepared.
Don't rush up stupidly in the face of the Plasma Demon, and don't play long-range combat with the skinny Flamethrower.
The soldiers also attach great importance to this course, which is a course that is full of battlefield life-saving, and many people have a bad head, and when they see people who copy notes, they even exchange food for borrowing it.
Long Qifeng was even more formal, he found two painters, and under Li Yang's description, each kind of demon depicted a general form and appearance, marked the information next to it, sorted it into a book, and then told Li Yang that this booklet was sold to the government, but it was a big price.
Li Yang suddenly realized.
Think about the previous life, the demons broke into the city, wreaked havoc and slaughtered in the city, and finally hit the inner city before being repulsed.
If this had made the army prepare in advance, and all the people who participated in the war had an understanding of the demons, would they be able to keep the demons outside the city?
If the outer city is not broken by the demons, will the nearly 100,000 people killed and injured in the demonic siege be saved from disaster?
But does he really want to make a name for himself now?
