The reorganization of the Russian troops is carried out completely according to the organization of parachute mercenaries. Below the brigade is the wing, and below the wing is the brigade, squadron, and squad. Because of the special nature of mercenaries, there are no heavy firepower units and logistics units. The most basic squad is
There are not even light machine guns, and automatic rifles are responsible for fire support tasks.
After the World War, the Nyasaland Arsenal made appropriate improvements to the weapon system, further reducing the weight of the automatic rifle, shortening the effective range from 600 meters to 400 meters, and changing the butt from walnut to a cheaper stamped steel plate.
After shortening the barrel length, the automatic rifle weighs only 3.45 kilograms, which is lighter than Lee Enfield.
Lee Enfield weighs 8.8 pounds, about four kilograms.
Also improved was the Lee Enfield. Engineers at the Nyasaland Arsenal added a heavy match-grade barrel to the Lee Enfield mkiii rifle, and installed a cheek rest on the butt.
The 1914-style quadruple scope makes it a real sniper rifle.
The weapons sent by the Umbrella Company to the reorganized troops were all Lee Enfields. Although these Lee Enfields were not brand new from the factory, they were carefully maintained. After the end of the world war, nearly one million Lee Enfields were sealed in southern Africa.
, there is a lot of inventory now.
Looking at the piles of Lee Enfields, Alexander was filled with emotion.
Alexander's troops were equipped with very complex weapons, including Mosin Nagants from the Imperial Russian era, as well as Mauser and Mannlicher captured after the war. Mosin Nagants were also divided into basic types with long barrels and cavalry types with short barrels.
, Mauser and Mannlicher models are more complex, with more than ten types in total.
Even so, Alexander's troops were still unable to fire a single shot per man, and they were extremely short of ammunition. Some rifles were no longer usable due to lack of ammunition.
The Umbrella Company sent 25,000 Lee Enfields to the integrated troops, as well as 25 million rounds of ammunition and nearly 200,000 grenades.
"God, I have known that Southern Africa has a developed economy for a long time, but today I know that it is well-deserved. Now I understand that we did not lose unjustly in the world war." Alexander smiled bitterly, and his clothes had been changed to the khaki of an umbrella mercenary.
military uniform.
Except for the different colors, the military uniforms of the Umbrella Company mercenaries are almost the same as the military uniforms of the regular army in Southern Africa. They are also divided into dress uniforms (regular uniforms) and combat uniforms. The style of the dress uniforms is similar to the dress styles of most countries in this era. They are gorgeous.
Fitting yet dignified, and paying more attention to the waistline design, all officers' uniforms are custom-made.
On the Internet in another time and space, people often boasted about how gorgeous, fashionable, and elegant the military uniforms of the Third Reich were.
In fact, there is really not much fashion and elegance, let alone gorgeousness. There is no need to compare the British and French military uniforms, which are famous for their gorgeousness and fashion. Even compared with the military uniforms of the Second German Empire, the military uniforms of Germany's third empire are difficult to get.
take action.
The dresses of Southern Africa and Umbrella are derived from British dresses. Dresses for lieutenants and above are also customized. Tailors will provide special door-to-door services. After measuring various sizes in detail, they will make adjustments according to personal habits and body characteristics to make a set.
It takes about three months to make a military uniform. The effect of such a carefully customized uniform is bound to be outstanding.
Although the uniforms of soldiers are not as complicated as the uniforms of officers, they are also very designed. The main thing is the waist design and the use of outer belts. Although it is more complicated to make, it does look more beautiful and generous.
"Advanced weapons are the prerequisite for victory, but whether the weapons can be effective depends more on strict training." Angel, who has arrived in the Mesopotamia, is responsible for the reorganization of the Constantinople troops. The official name of the troops is
1st and 2nd Garibaldi Mountain Brigades.
The terrain of the Garibaldi Peninsula is mainly mountainous. The troops are mainly responsible for the defense of the Garibaldi Peninsula and the elimination of the remaining Ottoman troops in the mountainous areas. Compared with the regular army equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, the mountain brigade is obviously more suitable for Garibaldi.
The actual needs of the peninsula.
After the reorganization of the mountain brigade, most of the officers are professional mercenaries sent by the umbrella company. There is no need to worry about the personal qualities of the soldiers. Most of Alexander's soldiers are Cossacks. Compared with personal qualities, organizational discipline is more important to Angel.
Pay attention to.
"Don't worry about training. If anyone dares to disobey orders, all military law will be dealt with." Alexander was murderous and compassionate, and he would never tolerate soldiers who disobeyed orders.
Just in the military camp on the outskirts of Constantinople, the troops are undergoing rigorous training by umbrella mercenaries.
The instructors sent by these umbrella companies have basically had the experience of participating in world wars. Their training of troops is carried out in full accordance with the "Infantry Drill Code" compiled by the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa, and the requirements for discipline are very strict.
There is no need to emphasize the individual quality of the Cossacks. Many of Alexander's soldiers were hunters before joining the army. Their shooting skills fully meet the standards of southern African precision shooters. Most of the soldiers come from the mountains. They have first-class physical fitness and tenacious character.
He is brave in battle and not afraid of sacrifice. He is born to be a first-class soldier.
"What we are going to do next is a five-kilometer cross-country trip. Don't call it too far, don't call it tiring. The next five kilometers will become our daily routine and we must do it at least once a day." Captain of the second squadron of the first brigade of the third wing of the first brigade
Lieutenant Fan Yao wears the same combat uniform as the soldiers, also carries a combat backpack and Lee Enfield, and will train with the soldiers.
Mercenaries have no logistics organization and must carry all combat supplies with them. When performing tasks, the weight of items carried with them exceeds 20 kilograms.
In order to be closer to actual combat, the weight carried by soldiers during training is also about 20 kilograms. The weight carried by officers and soldiers is the same. If the training tasks cannot be completed within the specified time, officers and soldiers must also accept punishment at the same time.
"You should have smelled it. Beef stew is being made in the kitchen. It is prepared for us. However, only those who complete the task within the specified time can enjoy the delicious potato stew. I will prepare extra for the team with the best performance.
A bottle of vodka produced in Johannesburg. The team that finally returns to the camp will be responsible for cleaning the entire squadron for a week. Please note that only a team that completes the task at the same time can be recognized. This requires you to help each other during the training process.
Always remember that we are a whole, we are as close as one family, just like brothers." Fan Yao always emphasizes the importance of unity. This is actually brainwashing. If a lie is repeated a thousand times, it will become the truth, not to mention "comrades-in-arms".
Special feelings.
"Ula!" the Cossacks roared loudly. These simple guys only need a little stimulation to transform into fighting bears.
"Go, go, let me see your fighting power, don't be laughed at like little chickens, we are the invincible Cossacks, we are the omnipotent umbrella -" Fan Yao followed the team and kept
Use language to stimulate.
"Lieutenant, do you need me to carry the gun for you?" Sergey, the captain of the second squadron, is tall, with a full beard and a standard bear figure.
Most Cossacks are relatively tall, but Fan Yao's figure is relatively thin.
However, don't think that Fan Yao's physical fitness is not good because his body looks thin. Fan Yao was a precision shooter with 25 results during the World War, and he was also the top three in the Umbrella Company's armed cross-country.
The armed cross-country organized by the Umbrella Company carries a load of 20 kilograms and 50 kilometers.
"Hahahaha—Lieutenant, what if you are the last one?"
"Lieutenant, I will help you clean up then!"
"I wash my socks myself—"
The Cossacks were laughing and joking, but did not take Fan Yao seriously. Fan Yao had managed to get along with the Cossacks in the past few days, but he had not yet truly gained their respect.
"Shut up! Show some respect to the lieutenant." Second Lieutenant Pullman, the leader of the first detachment, was of German origin and was very strict with these Cossacks.
The Cossacks immediately shut up, but none of them looked very friendly at Pullman.
"Sergey, you'd better take care of yourself and don't give me a chance to laugh at you, and you bastards. People who finish training after me will have to do a five-kilometer cross-country trip every night before turning off the lights until you
Until your grades can surpass mine, look at your appearance. How long has it been since you started? You are already as soft as a little sheep. Do you want me to bring you a shepherd dog? -" Fan Yao calmed down and said,
As he ran, he still had the energy to laugh at the Cossacks who were walking more and more heavily.
The Cossacks wanted to retort, but their increasingly rapid breathing and heavier footsteps made them unable to fight back.
"Speed up, don't be a bitch-"
"You are worse than sheep. No wonder you were beaten to pieces during the World War——"
"What-"
Fan Yao's tongue became more and more venomous, Sergei was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth as he ran wildly, while some Cossacks who were physically weaker gradually fell behind.
"Remember what I just said, we are a whole. The mission is only completed when the team has completed the training - pay attention to your companions and help your comrades in time. If a battle occurs, you may also need him
With help——" Fan Yao's breath was not confused at all, and there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead.
Before Sergey could react, Pullman took the rifle from a pale soldier: "How is it? Can you still hold on?"
"Second Lieutenant - I - I can do it -" The gratitude in the soldier's eyes flashed away. This kind of warmth had never been felt in the Imperial Russian army.
