Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 233 Weapons and Equipment
The Qinghe leader, following the news from the front line, needed a lot of weapons and equipment, and started working in three shifts at the weapons factory in Qinghe City.

Because of the large quantity of this batch of weapons and the urgent rush, the managers of the factory had to work overtime to put them into production.

If Di Feng hadn't kept the factory in production and stocked a batch of weapons and equipment in the warehouse, then most people would use ordinary weapons and equipment in this sudden military expansion.

After successive battles with different extraordinary troops, the advantages and disadvantages of the rune rifle have become very obvious.

A rune rifleman hardly needs training, as long as he learns to aim, shoot, and fight with a bayonet after contacting, he can go to the battlefield, and he will become a veteran after firing a few more bullets on the battlefield.

As for the probability, formation, and culture, they can all be learned and corrected slowly after joining the army. In this way, Qinghe leader can expand a large number of troops in a short time.

And if it is close combat, the disadvantage of rune riflemen is very obvious in the face of melee combat with extraordinary power, because rune riflemen themselves have to carry dry food, firearms, magazines, bullets, etc., so they are not like soldiers with cold weapons In armor.

The melee combat strength is weak, and a surprise attack by an extraordinary person can easily cause large-scale casualties. Later, for these rune riflemen, it was once decided whether to equip armor, but later gave up.

Because the rune riflemen themselves can also be trained, plus long-range shooting, it is better to match the rune riflemen with a unit that uses cold weapons to cooperate.

Especially after the war with the kingdom of death, the front line of swords and shields cooperated with the rear riflemen to shoot and kill many mummies, which proves that there is no problem with this combination for the time being.

Moreover, there is another aspect of the weakness of rune rifle soldiers, that is, the power of the bullets fired by rune rifles is fixed, and it is impossible to rely on the user's own strength to improve combat effectiveness like cold weapon combat.

So Rune Riflemen are good against enemies below Bronze tier, but not so effective against Bronze tier opponents.

For this aspect, it is also because the rune riflemen themselves only have rifles. After the follow-up Qinghe leader developed a large number of special bullets, as well as large-caliber firearms and light and heavy machine guns, the rune riflemen have played a big role again.

But because the firearms of Qinghe collar now essentially rely on reinforcement runes to strengthen metal materials, and wind element runes to compress the air to fire bullets, which is different from the original gunpowder weapons.

Therefore, the design of the artillery has not yet come to fruition, because there is no such heavy weapon as the artillery, and it is impossible to suppress the extraordinary units, so the strength of the rune riflemen appears weak.

For this reason, while the Qinghe leader was researching and developing rune firearms and imitating artillery, he did not stop researching rune cold weapons.

Forged rune armor, weapons with strong and sharp runes, special weapons such as engraved flames and ice runes have also been developed, and shields that can reduce damage have also been developed.

Therefore, for the current field regiment configuration, there are three rune rifle battalions and one shield battalion configuration.

In the northern defense zone, Li Xiuning, who was sitting here, was a little surprised to see the [-] new recruits, but the unit was more joyful.

Originally, his own defense zone not only had his own women's army, but also had a talented army from the first field regiment, so there was no problem in defending.

But now the first field regiment is suddenly transferred away, which puts Li Xiuning under great pressure. After removing the two border defense regiments, only her own women's army is left. It needs to defend two counties, and every day it will rub against the monsters in the northern mountains. There is no manpower to spare.

Now, I heard that the South has won the battle and added [-] new recruits to itself. Not only that, but the two border defense regiments have also expanded their staff, which has reduced their pressure a lot.

Although these are recruits and have not been trained, this is not a problem. My women's army is all veterans, and the old will lead the new, and it will soon take shape.

During this period of fighting, Li Xiuning retrained the Detachment of Women's Army, using battle as a substitute for training.

Now that the army is expanding, Li Xiuning has expanded his three infantry battalions into three infantry regiments according to Di Feng's organization, and at the same time expanded the guard brigade and air defense brigade into a fourth infantry regiment.

In addition, the cavalry battalion was expanded to 2000 personnel, and the scale of logistics, medical care and other troops was increased. Four infantry regiments, a 4000-man cavalry regiment, and four directly subordinate brigades and other personnel were added to the Women's Army. There are [-] troops.

In this way, the Women's Army is also qualified to be called an army, instead of having only one regiment and lack of personnel as before.

However, with the increase in the number of people, a problem that followed was the lack of weapons and equipment, because the main target of the Qinghe leader was the southern battlefield, and Li Xiuning's Women's Army was mainly responsible for defense.

And because of the expansion, the construction of a new military factory in Nancheng County just started, and it was unable to supply enough rune weapons and rune rifles in a short time.

On the other hand, due to the large increase in recruits, Li Xiuning barely guaranteed that the dual-talented legion would not be downgraded by relying on the veterans' cloud energy. However, due to the large number of recruits, the combat effectiveness of each unit dropped significantly.

Therefore, after the rapid reorganization, Li Xiuning temporarily stopped the friction with those monster tribes in the north, and turned to defense. At the same time, he personally led the army and started a new training.

Training queues and fighting during the day, learning cultural knowledge and spiritual power cultivation at night, spending the day in constant busyness.

Just like the Detachment of Women, the county border defense regiments under the Qinghe collar also had to start new training due to the increase in recruits, and because of the lack of weapons, they temporarily received a batch of swords that were not engraved with runes as weapons.

This is also the first time that the troops of the Qinghe collar have received ordinary alloy weapons again after the rune rifles and rune troops were installed in the troops.

The tens of thousands of sets of weapons and equipment originally accumulated in the warehouse were all sent to the southern theater, ensuring that several main forces were fully armed and supplied to other troops in a small amount.

Qinghe leads the weapon workshop.

Here, as various rune firearms shine on the battlefield, the status of the weapon research workshop has also risen, and more resources have been invested in it.

Now, under the leadership of several master craftsmen, public relations are being carried out for the cannon requested by Di Feng.

At this time, on the table, there were gun barrels, various shell shells, and piles of design drawings.

Because Qingheling has artillery templates from other worlds, there is no need to take detours in the design of artillery. The only thing that is stuck for master craftsmen is how to design powerful artillery and how to shoot out the shells.

　Happy New Year everyone, the author here wishes everyone a New Year greeting in advance.
