"Long live His Majesty Emperor Ailansil! Welcome Emperor Ailansil to rule Higgs!" On both sides of the street, there were countless civilians from the Higgs Kingdom standing, waving bouquets of flowers at the troops passing in front of them.
There is a colorful cloth, and it looks like he is eating food in a pot and welcoming the king.
In front of them, rows of black 42 steel helmets swayed slightly from side to side under the sun, and rows of soldiers carrying Mauser rifles walked on the streets of the Higgs Kingdom.
Without encountering any resistance, the 2nd Army crossed the border between Ellandhill and Higgs on the last day of the first year of Ellandhill, and entered the planned "Higgs" in full force.
Gas Oil Producing Area".
The magical car was driving between soldiers on both sides. The soldiers sitting on the truck were holding the latest stg-44 assault rifles in their arms, holding their chins high and looking down at the crowds on the streets on both sides amid the majestic military music.
This new type of weapon has just been developed and is basically still in the secret equipment stage. Because of the emergence of tanks, individual automatic weapons have finally begun to move closer to automation. Range is no longer an emphasized advantage, and firepower density has begun to increase with the number of artillery.
Increase becomes important.
After all, there were no tanks to accompany infantry in combat before. At that time, the range of weapons often determined the outcome of a war. With a longer range, the enemy could be eliminated in a safer position. This is the basis of the design of single-shot long-range rifles.
.
Now, with the emergence of a large number of mortars, tanks and even light machine guns, the ability to deliver firepower over long distances has been greatly enhanced. Under this general premise, just like World War II, individual automatic weapons have begun to appear.
A place of use.
So Chris made some familiar trade-offs, and finally felt that he should skip the ak47, a weapon that everyone is familiar with, and go directly to the 4, a more mature and matched weapon in the future.
In fact, ak is very good, very good in fact. It is cheap and affordable, and it is easy to mass-produce equipment. If you just make it casually, you can supply a large amount of equipment to the troops and quickly form a strong combat effectiveness.
However, there seemed to be some problems with the initial selection of Airan Hill. Mauser rifles and G-42 machine guns used 7.92 mm caliber ammunition, so the ammunition stocked by the Kingdom of Airan Hill was basically 7.92 mm caliber.
Therefore, a large number of ammunition production machines are of 7.92mm caliber standard, and the temporary modification to 7.62mm caliber seems a bit too reluctant. After some consideration, Chris still feels that when it comes to the choice of assault rifles, continue the previous choice.
Just stick to the path of stg-44.
Then, after he matured, he felt that he could equip his troops with advanced assault rifles like 5, which were more excellent and could be used forever. As for the ak47, which could not be matched with a large number of accessories, he decided to reluctantly give up...
Of course, in fact, Chris can completely feel the sadness of passing by a classic weapon. He really likes the ak47, and even feels that he should equip this weapon before transitioning to 4 in time.
However, the continuity of the ammunition system forced him to make compromises and give up many weapons that looked very good: the American Garand rifle was also a classic, but he had to give up too.
In addition, the Thompson submachine gun and the Bobosha submachine gun, these very classic submachine gun weapons in World War II, also disappeared in the long river of history with the emergence of the stg-44 assault rifle.
Chris's personal guards all used stg-44 assault rifles. Anyway, they never felt that the weapons in their hands were overpowered. Instead, they felt that facing powerful magicians, more powerful assault rifles were more suitable than submachine guns.
.
Countless cars towed 75mm cannons through the city, and the soldiers sang loudly, Brother Kai, and marched forward slowly with neat steps. Above their heads were petals falling continuously, and black royal flags were fluttering in the wind everywhere.
Many years later, people were still talking about this huge entrance ceremony. No one thought that the Higgs Kingdom, which had long been penetrated by the economy into every corner, would sacrifice everything so neatly.
Everyone is welcoming the rule of Alandhill. After all, the rule of Alandhill is almost synonymous with wealth and power in this era. On the day when the army of Alandhill entered Higgs, the people in the Higgs area
Prices have dropped by about one-tenth.
"Elland Hill! You are a great country! Ireland Hill! You are my mother!" A little boy followed the grenadiers forward step by step. He sang the praises of the Ireland region to himself.
The childish sounds of national songs make the people around them laugh in good faith.
Outside the city, in the deserted wilderness, the troops of the Second 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 Empire.
Accompanying both sides of these troops are powerful war horses. Although they are trying their best to equip cars and tanks, Ireland's troops, like Germany during World War II, are seriously troubled by their own production capacity. They are far away from the
Mechanization still has a certain distance to go, and many places are not as calm and complete as they seem.
"Hurry up! Let the engineers go first!" Standing at the intersection of the road, a second lieutenant who stayed to direct the traffic stood on the roadbed and faced a 05mm howitzer being dragged by mules and horses passing by.
The soldier ordered loudly.
Many troops share this muddy path, and due to the need for confidentiality, many troops cannot appear in the sight of the people of Higgs: Ellandhill not only has powerful soldiers, but also unparalleled machinery!
The first to pass were the tanks newly equipped by the 2nd Army. These 4 tanks were parked on the side of the road one after another, waiting for the security forces in front to clear the way. These steel tanks could run rampant on the battlefield without war horses.
The giant beast is still under absolute confidentiality at this moment.
In addition, following these tank units, there is also the Air Force Construction Corps of Ireland Hill. They must quickly build a front-line field airport in Higgs, and then they can allow the prepared Air Force fighter units to enter Higgs and perfect the
Air defense in oil producing areas.
"We should have let the construction corps drive over first... Damn it!" Looking at the muddy road that had been damaged by mules, horses and trucks, the second lieutenant directing the traffic frowned and complained.
As far as he could see, cement mixer trucks, power generation trucks, and equipment pulled by mules and horses were densely covered with the entire road. There was no end in sight for the unknown new equipment of the Air Force Construction Corps.
Behind the crane were carriages filled with tents, and jeeps filled with air force commanders in red military uniforms, waiting boredly behind the supply trucks piled with daily necessities and with washbasins hanging outside the doors.
Further afield, the truck carrying the radar antenna looked as if its compartment was filled with steel fences. The truck following this truck was piled with cables, rolled up and round.
There are also clear warnings about expensive and careful words written on the plate.
Further back, old-fashioned 30mm caliber anti-aircraft guns mounted on carriages were placed next to each other, pulled by war horses, waiting next to the tank troops. The grooms curiously looked at the tank drivers who got out of the car to rest, completely unaware of the situation.
I feel that the two of them are actually peers.
This is already a modern force that is very close to the level of World War II. Both in terms of its weapons and equipment and the quality of its members, it is very close to the level in the early stages of World War II.
"If it weren't for keeping secrets, we would be traveling twice as fast as we are now!" A passing artillery officer fanned himself with his hands and squinted his eyes as he walked to the second lieutenant who was directing traffic and stopped.
The dust had already made the military uniform on his body look a bit old. After all, it was a combat unit, and it was really inferior to the soldiers who passed through the city and were responsible for relying on them. While complaining, he looked up at the street sign, as if he wanted to know whether he still
How long are you going to run around in such a miserable state?
The second lieutenant stood at attention and saluted, and then continued to direct traffic while discussing the embarrassing situation at hand with this colleague who was free to chat: "Don't mention it! The 3rd Cavalry Division taking the main road has probably reached Nalange."
"This is a serious cavalry division, so of course it moves very fast." The artillery officer looked at a row of his men passing by, paused and then shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Go to the next intersection and hold your way.
Make way for the mechanized troops! Bastard! Run!"
Hearing his scolding, the artillerymen pushed the 75mm infantry cannon next to them harder. With their efforts, the horses in front finally pulled the cannon out of the deep ruts and continued to move forward quickly.
.
"Please don't rain... just pray that it doesn't rain." The artillery commander looked at the deep ruts, imagined the road condition after it rained, and prayed: "If it rains, we will probably be ten
We won’t be able to reach the border until next year.”
"It won't be that long." The second lieutenant who was directing the traffic smiled and said comfortingly: "Even if it rains, I think five years will be enough."
Amid their laughter, a little cloud of doubt began to cloud the originally clear sky. Soon the laughter of the two crow-mouthed men stopped, and what followed was a frantic urging: "
Hurry up! It’s going to rain! If you don’t want to get wet, hurry up! Otherwise, you’ll have to walk in the rain!”
In the summer, the rainy season in Higgs really comes at a moment’s notice. The day after Alandhill’s troops entered Higgs, the heavy rain came as expected, just like the Emperor Alandhill who was trying on his wedding dress.
