Chapter 1556: 1557 New Replenishment Soldiers
Xiang Ziyu grabbed a dinner plate and found a place to sit down in the relatively spacious field tent. He could finally enjoy a 24-hour vacation, take a shower at the front line, and get a good night's sleep.
To be honest, it is not easy to have a hot meal less than 20 kilometers away from the front line. After all, this is a cross-sea landing, and many supplies are very valuable.
The meals provided to the paratroopers were quite good, including beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and meatball soup, and there were enough canned fruits to enjoy as much as they wanted.
Grabbed a piece of steamed bun and dipped it into the tomato scrambled egg soup on the dinner plate. The slightly sweet and slightly sour taste whetted Xiang Ziyu's appetite, and he was very satisfied eating every bite.
He had slept for more than ten hours before coming to the cafeteria. He also took a hot bath and changed into clean training clothes before going to bed. There is a battery-powered radio in the corner of the cafeteria, playing relatively soothing music.
If it weren't for the explosion-proof sandbags piled outside the canteen tent, and if it weren't for the fact that a Scud missile would fall from time to time and cause damage, Xiang Ziyu would have thought the war was over.
After enjoying a very good "late night snack", Xiang Ziyu walked out of the canteen and looked up at the stars in the sky - he received the order to retreat from the front line yesterday morning and arrived at the temporary station at noon. Then he took a bath and slept until dark. I just woke up and came to the cafeteria for a good meal.
The canteen provides food to officers 24 hours a day due to special needs, and there are bright lights in the camp in the distance. Further away, you can see the huge floating dock with its illuminated outline, as well as the ships docked on the dock and being unloaded.
The sea breeze blew on Xiang Ziyu's face, which was indescribably comfortable. The temperature now is really good, which makes Xiang Ziyu have the urge to go to the sea and have some fun. Stepping on the soft beach, Xiang Ziyu enjoyed the moment of tranquility and walked towards his temporary camp.
The patrol soldiers passing by saluted him, and from time to time, a truck loaded with supplies would stagger past Xiang Ziyu. There was a helicopter engine roaring in the sky, but it was unclear where the plane was flying.
The whole camp still looks busy, but less crowded. While he was sleeping, he heard that dozens of Army Aviation armed helicopters had transferred to the frontline airport. The combat effectiveness of these Hind helicopters was obviously much higher than that of the Black Hawk.
Soon the airport near Benn will be put into use, and then there will be thunder and lightning attack aircraft on the front line. The addition of more powerful aircraft to the battlefield is not good news for the already very passive dwarves.
“Batalion Commander!” At the sentry post in the camp, fatigue could no longer be seen on the face of the soldier standing guard. He stood at attention, saluted, and greeted Xiang Ziyu.
Xiang Ziyu returned a military salute and then walked back to his tent along the moonlit road. There is electricity here, and the lighting is very comfortable, making people feel like they are at home.
Beside the bed were Xiang Ziyu's equipment, some distributed documents, newspapers and magazines for the officers to kill time.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a new thing called comics. This thing is printed to make soldiers relax. It uses pictures and a small amount of text to tell a very interesting story. The story is also serialized. The content is about an invulnerable super soldier. Conquer the world for the Tang Empire...
In short, this thing is very popular among the soldiers. They like to read such simple, direct and violent stories very much, and dream that one day they can become the super soldiers in the story and open up territories for His Majesty the Emperor.
Because the battle line is already very far away, the gunfire of naval battleships can no longer be heard here, and Xiang Ziyu, who is well rested, is no longer in the state of falling asleep. He grabbed a newspaper, opened it casually and read the contents. This is a newspaper from five days ago. The newspaper published the news that the Tang Empire declared war on the Ice Empire. Another board has some popular science articles, introducing some weapons and equipment used by the Tang Empire's navy for cross-sea operations.
Next to the soda advertisement is an article from the Tang Empire condemning the criminal gangs in the Dorne Empire, and next to it is a joke column.
“Aren’t you asleep yet?” The tent curtain was opened, and the deputy battalion commander walked in, as if he had something to say.
Xiang Ziyu put down the newspaper and gestured to the other party to be more relaxed: "No! I can't sleep...or I just woke up. Hahaha, if we were in this state yesterday, we could capture 200 more prisoners."
"Indeed." The deputy battalion commander sat on a folding stool on the side and said excitedly: "The news just came that we have occupied position 3."
"Oh? That's really good." Xiang Ziyu was very excited when he heard the news. It was obvious that their fight was getting smoother.
"The 1st Marine Division has almost completed its mission. They will probably have to withdraw for repairs. The new one is the 2nd Infantry Division." The deputy battalion commander, who had obviously already revealed a lot of news, briefly introduced Let’s take a look at the situation.
The 1st Marine Division of the Tang Army has also been fighting fiercely for several days. They fought almost the entire landing battle, and they really should take a good rest.
However, replacing them at this time obviously also revealed a lot of news: It is obvious that Marshal Tiger is preparing to let the new 2nd Infantry Division take positions 2 and 1 and completely annihilate the dwarf's 2nd Army. .
“It seems that it will take a few more days to go south.” Xiang Ziyu judged.
"I guess so." The deputy battalion commander nodded: "The regiment commander asked us to inventory and verify the equipment losses, ammunition reserves, and personnel losses during our break... There is news that a group of supplementary troops will be added in a few days. "
"Replenishment troops? Do you have a parachute medal?" Xiang Ziyu immediately became concerned about the quality of the replacement troops. Only those who have completed parachute training can obtain parachute medals, and only soldiers with parachute medals can be called paratroopers.
The deputy battalion commander shook his head: "I don't know, but there's a high probability that there won't be one. They don't need to parachute. What the regiment commander means is that we can train by ourselves during the break."
"Damn it..." Xiang Ziyu snorted disdainfully. In his opinion, soldiers who can't parachute with him are not soldiers at all: "Maybe we won't be able to return to our original state in a year."
"Yeah, but...at least we have more than 200 new soldiers, right?" the deputy battalion commander comforted. In his opinion, the arrival of additional troops is a good thing.
