Not long after, the car arrived at a spacious place. Meng Yuting and the others saw a guard box at the intersection in front of them. There was a barbed wire fence all around. There was a wooden sign hung every few dozen meters on the barbed wire fence, which read: "Strong military area, entry is strictly prohibited."
.”
There was only one sentry at the sentry box. Meng Yuting and the others saw from a distance that the attire of this sentry was different from that of the military camp. It looked like he was wearing a steel helmet, but it was covered with a yellow and green canvas, without any light.
The military uniform on his body is even more peculiar. Not only is it colorful, but it also has a jacket that looks like a vest, bullet pouches, grenade pouches, and various pockets with no apparent purpose fixed on it.
It looks bulging, but it doesn't look bloated.
Meng Yuting and the others are all soldiers, and they all see the advantage of this vest, which is that the bullet bag, grenade bag and other auxiliary equipment that are usually carried separately are integrated into this vest.
It does not affect movement and marching. It is much more reasonable and convenient than conventional soldiers wearing various drapes.
This is a combat vest specially designed by Zhou Wen based on the experience of later generations. The benefits for soldiers when wearing it are quite obvious: firstly, the torso is the thickest part of the human body, with a large space area and large carrying capacity; secondly, the items carried are close to the torso, and the weight brings
The resistance moment is the smallest and has the smallest impact on the soldier's movements; thirdly, the items on the vest can be accessed by both hands at any time, making it the most flexible.
What Meng Yuting and the others have not noticed is that the vest is divided into two layers, and there are four inner slots between the two layers. As long as the bulletproof steel plate is inserted, it becomes a bulletproof vest. However, Zhou Wen has not found a lighter and more suitable one yet.
The material can only be alloy steel plates produced by steel plants. The 5 mm thick alloy steel plates are divided into four pieces to protect the left and right chest and left and right abdomen respectively. Together they weigh 15 kilograms.
Now only the brothers of the mercenary regiment can use up to four, which basically does not affect tactical movements and long-distance marches. The soldiers of the affiliated units cannot, and can only wear a four-kilogram steel plate to protect their left chest.
When other parts are used, it is impossible to carry all the normal equipment and weapons. The artillery simply does not carry any. If you think about it, the possibility of artillery facing enemy bullets is greatly reduced, and everyone in the artillery is marching on foot.
The load is nearly forty kilograms. If you add another four kilograms of steel plate, the person will be exhausted to death.
Just when Meng Yuting and the others were impressed by the unique creativity of this vest, the car stopped in front of the sentry box. The sentry may be very familiar with the car, so he walked out directly without asking for the password or anything.
Ergazi stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, soldier Wang Dalei from the 2nd Platoon and 3rd Squadron of the 1st Infantry Company is on duty. Sir, please accept inspection."
Ergazi returned the greeting in the car: "Soldier Wang Dalei, I am undergoing inspection."
When he saw this soldier, he walked around the car, counted the number of people in the car, and then trotted back to the car and saluted again: "Sir, the situation is correct, you can enter." After that, he ran back to the guard box and pulled up.
Crossbar blocking the road.
Ergazi started the car and drove in. He stopped at the door and said to Wang Dalei with a smile: "Say, Dalei, why is it your turn to be on duty again today? Wasn't it you when I left the day before yesterday? What's the matter?
, have you had diarrhea again these days?"
Wang Dalei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "It's still about dropping the bomb. I don't know why, but it's just not accurate. But it's okay. The squad leader will give me some advice after I'm laid off today. I'm confident that I can pass the assessment."
Ergazi immediately started the car and said, "You guys should be more careful. Don't be transferred to the logistics team to carry big bags. That would be embarrassing."
"How can I do that? That would not only disgrace me, but also disgrace our whole class. Don't worry, instructor, I will definitely pass the test."
"Well, let's go."
"Instructor, walk slowly."
While listening to the conversation between the two, Meng Yuting and the others kept their eyes busy. They saw that this soldier also had two guns, a long one and a short one, but the rifle he was carrying was something he had never seen before. The barrel was longer than the familiar Hanyang-made rifle.
Some, a little thinner, the strange thing is the ammunition feeding magazine under the gun body, which is a bit like the ammunition feeding method of a submachine gun. This is a brand-new model of rifle, and several officers all came to the conclusion at once, that is
I don’t know how the performance is, and of course it’s hard to ask now.
Moreover, Meng Yuting also noticed that there was a telephone and a hand-cranked alarm inside the guard box. He recalled that the guard posts at the entrance of the military camp in the city also had telephones. This shows that telephones have spread to the grassroots units of this army. This configuration
It can only be seen in the Soviet army. It is very rare in the Chinese army.
As he spoke, the car drove in, and soon came to a place that looked like a parking lot. There were several trucks parked in the place, and two small axles. From a distance on the right side of the parking lot,
On a river beach, there are wooden barracks and various tents erected there. There are tall wooden watchtowers all around, and several sentries can be vaguely seen standing guard on them.
At this time, gunfire came from behind the distant mountains. Meng Yuting and the others guessed that it was the gunfire of the army training shooting. They heard the sound of rifles, machine guns and submachine guns, and occasionally there were percussion weapons coming from further away.
The explosion of artillery fire. People who didn't know better thought that there was a fierce battle going on ahead.
After Ergazi parked the car, he said with a smile: "We are here. The car can only drive here. Going further in is a narrow mountain road. It is more than a mile away from the training ground, which is not too far. Let's go
Move over."
Meng Yuting got out of the car and greeted the brothers to get ready and salute. He turned around and asked Ergazi again: "Brother Ergazi, is there any big shot here? I see why there are two small bridge cars parked here."
You must know that in this era, bridge cars were just introduced to China. Even in the Soviet Union, only big shots in those places and the military could ride them, let alone China. People in some small and medium-sized cities had never even seen them.
Ergazi still smiled and said: "There are no big shots. These are the cars of our mercenary group. There are six of them. If there weren't too many of you to fit in, I would have driven a small bridge car to pick you up. This is
They are all new cars that the scholars just bought this year. They are American Ford brands. They are really good cars. They run very fast and steadily over kilometers. Driving this kind of car is just a pleasure!
At first, I bought ten of them in one go, and the scholar took five of them as gifts. Even the car of Commander Zhao, Commander of the Taiyuan Garrison, was given by the scholar."
Although this guy talks calmly, the arrogance and pretentiousness in his words can't be hidden. Just like those people who are rich now, let's buy Tianjin's Goubuli steamed buns.
Two dozen, eat a dozen and throw a dozen away. It's almost like a country boy.
