Chapter 124 124 Rain"Long live Emperor Alanhill Your Majesty! Welcome Emperor Alanhill to rule Higgs!" They visited countless civilians of the Higgs Kingdom, and they waved their bouquets and colored cloths in front of the army passing by, as if they were greeted by a pot of rice bowls.
In front of them, rows of black M42 steel helmets swayed slightly from side to side in the sunlight, rows of soldiers carrying Mauser rifles, walking on the streets of the Higgs Kingdom.
Under the premise of encountering no resistance, the 2nd Army crossed the border between Alanhill and Higgs on the last day of the first year of Alanhill, and the fully armed entry was already planned" Higgs Oil Region".
The magical car drives between the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers sitting on the truck hold the latest STG-44 assault rifle in their arms, and look down on the streets on both sides with their chins raised in the majestic military music. crowd.
This new type of weapon has just been developed and is basically still in the stage of secret equipment. Because of the emergence of tanks, individual automatic weapons have finally begun to move closer to automation. Range was no longer an advantage that was emphasized, and density of fire started to become important as the number of guns increased.
After all, there were no tanks to accompany infantry in combat before, and the range of weapons at that time often determined the outcome of a war. Having a longer range allows you to eliminate enemies from a safer position, which is the basis for the design of a single-shot long-range rifle.
Now, with the proliferation of mortars, tanks and even light machine guns, the ability to project fire over long distances has been enhanced with Heaven and Earth turning upside down. Under this premise, as in World War II, individual automatic weapons began to be used.
So Chris made some familiar choices, and finally felt that he should skip the AK47, a familiar weapon and equipment, and go directly to the M4, a more mature and matching weapon in the future.
Actually, AK is very good. In fact, it is very good. It is cheap and affordable and easy to mass-produce equipment. If you make it casually, you can give a large amount of equipment to the troops and quickly form a powerful battle strength.
But Alanhill's Early-Stage selection seems to have some problems. Mauser rifles and MG-42 machine guns use 7.92mm caliber ammunition, so the ammunition stockpiled by Alanhill Kingdom is basically 7.92mm. caliber.
Therefore, a large number of machines for producing ammunition are 7.92mm caliber standard, and it is a bit too reluctant to temporarily modify it to 7.62mm caliber. After some consideration, Chris still feels that in the choice of assault rifle, continue the previous choice, obediently and honestly take the STG-44 road.
Then, after maturity, he felt that he could equip the troops with a more excellent high-level assault rifle like the M5 that could be used all the time. As for the AK47, which cannot be matched with a large number of accessories, he decided to reluctantly part with it...
Of course, in fact, Chris can feel the grief of passing by a classic weapon - he really likes it AK47, I even feel that I should equip this weapon, and it is too late to transition to M4.
But the continuity of the ammunition system forced him to compromise and give up many weapons that looked very good: the American M1 Garand rifle was also a classic, but he had to do the same. give up.
In addition, the Thomson submachine gun and the Bobosa submachine gun, these very classic submachine gun weapons in World War II, also disappeared in the long history with the appearance of the STG-44 assault rifle.
Chris's personal guards all use STG-44 assault rifles. Anyway, they never felt that the weapons in their hands were overpowered, but they felt that in the face of powerful magicians, the assault rifles were more powerful. Better than a submachine gun.
Countless cars pulled 75mm cannons through the city, and the soldiers sang Brother Kai and marched slowly forward in neat steps. Above the head are the falling petals, and everywhere the black king flag is fluttering in the wind.
Many years later, people are still talking about this huge ceremony of entering the city. out of everything.
Everyone welcomes Alanhill's rule, after all Alanhill's rule in this day and age is almost synonymous with wealth and power. The day Alanhill's army moved into Higgs, prices in the Higgs area dropped by about a tenth.
"Alanhill! You are a great country! Alanhill! You are my mother!" A little boy followed the grenadiers step by step forward, singing the Alanhill region in praise of his country 's song, and the childish voice makes people around him laugh with kindness.
And outside the city, in the deserted wilderness, the troops of the 2nd Army were also advancing. They were ordered to rush to the border of Higgs and take over the border defense line between Higgs and the Holy Demon Emperor.
Accompanying these troops is a pair of vigorous war horses. Although they try their best to equip cars and tanks, Alanhill's troops, like Germany in World War II, are seriously troubled by their own production capacity. They are still a certain distance from mechanization, and many places are not as calm and complete as they seem.
"Hurry up! Let those sappers go first!" Standing at the intersection of the road, a second lieutenant who stayed behind to direct traffic stood on the embankment, facing the mule and horse dragged in front of him. A soldier next to a 105mm howitzer ordered loudly.
Many troops share this muddy path, because of the need for secrecy Many troops are out of sight of the Higgs people: Alanhill has not only tough soldiers, but also unparalleled mechanical!
The tanks that had just been equipped by the Second Army were the first to pass. These M4 tanks parked on the side of the road one after another, waiting for the guard troops who opened the way ahead to find out the road. These giant beasts of steel, which can rampage across the battlefield without horses, are still in absolute secrecy at this moment.
In addition, with these tank troops, there is Alanhill's Air Force Construction Corps. They need to quickly build a front-line field airfield in Higgs, and then they can let the prepared Air Force fighter troops enter Higgs and improve the air defense of the oil-producing area.
"We should have the construction corps come over first... hell!" the second lieutenant frowned, who was directing traffic, complained, looking at the muddy road that had been crushed by mules, horses, and trucks.
As far as he could see, cement mixer trucks, power generation trucks, and equipment for dragging mules and horses were densely packed all over the road. not the end.
The crane is followed by a carriage full of tents, and a jeep full of air force commanders in red uniforms, waiting boredly piled with daily necessities, with washbasins hanging outside the doors behind the supply truck.
Further afield, trucks carrying radar antennas look like they've filled their cabins with steel fences. The truck that followed this truck was full of cables, coil by coil, with expensive and careful reminders clearly written on the disc.
Further back, old-fashioned, carriage-mounted 30mm anti-aircraft guns lined up next to each other, pulled by warhorses, waiting beside the tank troops. The grooms looked curiously at the tank driver who got off the bus and rested, unaware that the two of them were actually peers.
This is already a modernized force that is very close to the level of World War II. Whether it is in terms of its weapons and equipment, or in terms of the quality of its members, it is already very close to the level of the Early-Stage of World War II. .
"If it weren't for secrecy, we would be moving twice as fast as we are now!" A passing artillery officer fanned himself with his hands and squinted as he walked to the second lieutenant who was directing the traffic. stop.
The dust has made his military uniform look a little old. After all, it is the Combat Unit, which is really inferior to those soldiers who pass through the city and are responsible for relying on them. He complained and looked up at the street sign, as if wondering how long he would have to run around in such a pitiful state.
The second lieutenant stood at attention and saluted, and then continued to direct the traffic while talking to the colleague who had a leisurely chat about the situation in front of him: "Don't mention it! The 3rd Cavalry Division on the road is estimated to have reached Nalange. ."
"They are serious cavalry divisions, so of course they move faster." The artillery officer watched a row of his men pass in front of him, paused and then loudly scolded: "Hurry up! Go to the next intersection and give the road to the mechanized troops! You bastard! Run!"
Hearing his scolding, the artillerymen pushed the 75mm caliber infantry guns beside them even harder. With their efforts, the horse in front finally pulled the cannon out of the deep rut and continued to move forward quickly.
"Don't rain... Pray it won't rain." The artillery commander looked at the deep rut, imagined the road conditions after the rain, and prayed: "If this When it rains, we estimate that it will take ten years to reach the border."
"It won't take that long." The second lieutenant in command of the traffic was laughed and said comforted: "Even if it rains, it is estimated that five years will be enough. It's over."
In their laughter, the originally sunny sky was clouded with a little bit of suspicion. Soon the laughter of the two crows stopped, and what followed was a frantic urge: "Hurry up! It's going to rain! If you don't want to get rained, let me go quickly! Hurry up in the rain!"
In summer, the rainy season of Higgs is really wants to come to come, Alanhill's troops entered the second day of Higgs, and the heavy rain came as scheduled, as if they were trying Alanhill Emperor Your Majesty in his new wedding dress is in the same mood...
