Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 168 Chapter 168
"Assemble!" With his hands behind his back, the officer in a gray-green military uniform and an M35 helmet raised his chin, watching his soldiers gather in a neat phalanx in front of him.

"Check the equipment!" Not far away, a company commander ordered loudly to all the soldiers assembled in the entire barracks.

Then, there was a rustling sound, and all the soldiers lowered their heads to check their equipment, as well as all the equipment that must be carried with them as required.

According to the requirements of the Datang Group, each soldier must carry 90 rounds of ammunition.These bullets are installed in the ammunition bags on both ribs, as well as the spare ammunition bags behind him, and in the luggage.

There are three ammunition bags under the ribs on one side, and each ammunition bag contains 10 rounds of ammunition, so the ammunition carrying capacity under the ribs on one side is 30 rounds, and the same on the other side, so the number of ammunition in the chest is 60 rounds.

There is also a spare ammunition bag behind him, which contains 10 rounds of emergency ammunition, which are not allowed to be used lightly under normal circumstances.

Hanging under this ammunition is an engineer shovel. The remaining 25 rounds of ammunition are usually placed in the luggage, but many soldiers prefer to scatter them in their pockets. There is no hard requirement for this.

In addition, in order to increase the survival rate on the battlefield, each soldier is also issued 6 spare bullets for the revolver, but there is no regulation on where these bullets are placed.

An infantry squad of 12 soldiers, the squad leader's weapon is completely different, he is equipped with a lever rifle, and the barrel is short, and only 7 rounds of ammunition can be loaded at a time.

Under normal circumstances, this squad leader is not responsible for long-range firing tasks, and more often takes charge of command work, so the weapons he distributes are aimed at firing efficiency.

In fact, Tang Mo planned to equip these commanders with submachine guns or assault rifles in the future, but unfortunately he has not produced these weapons yet, so he can only use the existing equipment in his hand to strengthen them as much as possible up.

Although the lever rifle had many flaws on the battlefield, Tang Mo liked its continuous firing ability, so he took it over for the time being and used it to make do with it.

And each squad leader has to carry more ammunition. Each of them has to carry 150 rounds of revolver bullets, which are used to load lever rifles and revolvers of the same model.

In addition, each soldier of the Datang Group has to carry three days of dry food, these foods include three pieces of bread, as well as related butter and jerky, candy and seasoning jars, put them in cloth pockets Fried noodles and dried radish and sun-dried chopped vegetables - these things are used to make soup.

Similarly, in the luggage behind the soldier, there are a change of underwear, two pairs of dry socks, and a simple first aid kit.

This first aid kit contains clean gauze, a strong tourniquet, some powder for hemostasis, small scissors and tweezers and the like.

You must know that no army in this world is willing to distribute these things that basically cannot improve combat effectiveness to soldiers.

But Tang Mo actually distributed these expensive items as necessities to every soldier.

Such a move is tantamount to saying to all the soldiers "I value you very much", so everyone is very moved and willing to work hard for such a master.

Not to mention, Tang Mo taught these soldiers knowledge and trained them into real fighters.Now they are going to use their actual actions to prove their loyalty, so each of them is very excited.

"Do you know what I'm most excited about now?" A soldier stuck a grenade in his belt, twisted his neck and asked his comrades beside him.

His comrade-in-arms was inserting a sharp dagger into the scabbard hidden inside the boot edge on the side of his calf, and asked subconsciously, somewhat absent-mindedly, "What?"

The soldier who asked the question grinned: "I am finally qualified to fight for Mr. Tang once!"

The soldier who just hid the dagger licked his lips and said with a smile, "Come on! Let them see how terrifying what we have learned is!"

Near the outskirts of Bunas, in an unremarkable wilderness full of weeds, on a small mound full of weeds, a cover was carefully removed.

"Communication soldier! Go and tell the company commander that our side has entered the position!" A platoon officer with a leather tube with a binoculars on his chest blew away the insects on the grass leaves right in front of his eyes, and looked into the distance. The official road below.

They can overlook the entire road here, it is very clear, and the shooting range is also very good.And just behind him, in a well-disguised concrete bunker, a shooter had just opened the receiver of the weapon in front of him.

The deputy shooter put the canvas belt of the Maxim heavy machine gun on without saying a word, and the shooter skillfully held down the belt.

On the other side of the road, in a quiet position, one after another, soldiers wearing steel helmets bent over and moved along the winding trenches like earthworms, placing an ammunition box on the ground every few meters. A corner of a trench where grass has begun to grow.

"The cross-fire has been arranged! If the opponent starts to attack... I don't know how to describe them... disaster? Massacre? In short, they will die, and they will be killed by us before they can escape." An officer looked at the vigilant hunters Entering the position, he said to the officer standing beside him.

"We only deployed 3 companies on the front line, and there are only more than 600 people." The officer standing there is the commander of the first line of defense, Loew. He said with some regret: "This may be my biggest regret."

"When they enter the crossfire coverage area, they can only pray for themselves." The officer said to Loew with a smile.

"If praying is useful..." Loew said with a sneer as he looked at the flags that had appeared on the horizon in the distance behind the hidden bushes.

……

"Bah!" At Factory No. 1 station, a train that had been waiting here for a long time sprayed white smoke from both sides, and the tumbling fog immediately engulfed the platform, making this place like a fairyland.

Inside the station, the workers in charge of transporting supplies watched the military train leave the platform with some unsatisfied interest, slowly turned the wheels, and moved to the distance bit by bit.

And behind the front of this train, there are unprotected flatbed carriages. On each of these carriages, two C80 breech-loading field guns are actually fixed with ropes!
They are 120mm cannons rarely seen in field environments in this era, they can use the most advanced grenades, and because the breech loading uses rifling, they have amazing range and super high accuracy.

A whole train was equipped with 10 such artillery pieces, and the remaining carriages were filled with ammunition for these cannons.

This train can maneuver along the rails behind Tang Mo's defensive position, and when the ammunition is exhausted, it can go back to Factory No. 1 to replenish it immediately.

With the support of these cannons, plus the cannons already equipped by each unit, Tang Mo's defense line can immediately gather at least 15 cannons in any direction. This firepower is already quite terrifying.

With just one command, these artillery can project shells on the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, covering a large area in an instant...

An officer walked into the position. In the command post that had been carefully set up, he stood at attention and saluted, and handed the document to Weiss next to Tang Mo: "The scouting team confirmed that the other party's vanguard has approached our first-line defensive position. They have already Crossed the line and burned some villages under our control a few hours ago."

Tang Mo looked at the report Weiss handed him, and nodded slightly to the officer who delivered the letter: "Let all troops counterattack independently according to the original plan! Bring them closer first before fighting, so as to expose the hole cards and at the same time completely Beat the opponent!"

"Telegram!" Next to a soldier who kept pedaling his bicycle, a soldier sitting in front of the telegraph machine tore off a telegram and handed it to Redman behind him.

Redman looked at the above content, and then reported to Tang Mohui: "The artillery train has left the platform, and it is now patrolling from south to north, and it will be behind us in about 15 minutes."

"Sometimes I want to have a good talk with Keith and show him our weapons, and then he cries and says he's sorry, admits his mistake to me, and shiveres as he winds the rope around the beam, Hang yourself in front of me..." Tang Mo looked at the flags popping up one after another on the distant horizon, and said coldly to Wes beside him.

"If he has such courage, then I respect him as a man." Weiss curled his lips in disdain.

"I'm blaming him, it's he who made me spend so much money! And let me f*ck...fuck...stand here...fucking waste of time!" Tang Mo gritted his teeth, Angrily cursed.

"The enemy has entered the range of artillery coverage!" An artillery observer put down the binoculars in front of him, and turned his head to report loudly to Tang Mo and other commanders.

"Steady!" Redman ordered loudly: "Let the enemy troops enter the intended strike area! Don't act rashly!"

"The enemy's deep phalanx has entered the strike range of our army's artillery!" After a while, another observer spoke loudly and reported.

"Don't fire! Keep silent!" Redman glanced at Tang Mo and continued to order loudly.

"The enemy is approaching the Jaeger defense line!" Soon, the third observer shouted loudly.

"Semaphore! Prepare!" Redman glanced at Tang Mo again, and ordered nervously.The enemy is only about a dozen meters away from the protruding hunter defense system.

"Okay, gentlemen! Let our guests cheer for our enthusiasm!" Tang Mo raised his arms and slammed forward: "Fire the machine guns on both wings and let Cyric's idiots know who is the real one. King of the battlefield!"
