A sharp shovel was inserted into the soft soil. The excellent military boots on Casa's feet stepped hard on the shovel, and a shovel of soil rose up.
Since the trade with the Grassland Empire, the price of Elland Hill's leather products has continued to decline: but there are more and more daily necessities and military products made of leather.
Whether it's military boots, bullet pouches or armed belts, the leather products on every Airan Hill Grenadier are getting more and more decent. Even the newly formed infantry regiments are already equipped with the latest
Armed belt.
Kasa was selected from among all the soldiers, the most elite soldier. He was carrying a heavy bag and a sufficient supply of grenades, and the long spurs on his waist swayed from side to side with his movements.
"Click!" The second shovel went down, and a small hole had been dug out of the originally flat land. Casa was still repeating his actions, because he was ordered to dig a foxhole here.
This is a new defense mode. Every soldier must learn how to build this simple fortification: everyone can dig holes, but only the lord knows why digging holes can reduce casualties.
Oh, no, now I want to call His Majesty Grand Duke Chris. Casa corrected himself in his mind, but still did not stop his work. Because the engineer shovel was so easy to use, he quickly built a good scattered
Soldier pit.
The surrounding soil was built up and turned into a low circular parapet. With the shallow pit below, Casa could easily hide his body. He retreated into the foxhole and adjusted his rifle.
Like many soldiers in the 20th century, he placed his rifle on the soil and pressed out a small crenel, which was convenient and safe. Through this small crenel, he could see what was happening ahead.
Only a little bit of the top of the M42 helmet is exposed, so Casar can see everything directly in front of him, which allows him to fire safely and attack enemies in the distance.
"Very good!" Chris walked past Casa with his hands behind his back and looked at this veteran from the Seris territory with satisfaction. This man fought with him in the battle of the eastern forest and also fought with him in the crossing city.
, is a very good soldier.
Casa's technical movements were very standard, which made Chris, who came to practice them in person every day, very happy. After establishing 14 infantry regiments, Chris selected the seedlings from these infantry regiments and formed the 15th regiment.
It's the teaching group in front of you.
He personally trained this regiment and instilled the combat knowledge of modern warfare. He even had to attend night school every night to remediate cultural knowledge.
It can be said responsibly that this teaching group is actually a military academy. Chris hopes that he can quickly train military talents so that his tactical ideas can be quickly spread to the grassroots.
After all, Chris didn't want to see the war mode of using a Mauser 98k rifle to shoot three shots and standing and firing to eliminate the cavalry. It was too embarrassing, and he didn't want people to mention such a victory at all.
"This action is very standard! The speed is also very fast! Write it down! At night, put him in the front row!" Chris looked at Casa in the foxhole and ordered the officer responsible for recording beside him.
"What's your name?" The officer, who seemed to have some impression of him, asked Casa in the foxhole while holding the record book.
"Report!" Kasa, who was already used to it, stood up from the foxhole, held the rifle, raised his chin, put his right fist on his chest, and replied loudly: "Sir! My name is Kasa! 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, Teaching Group.
Hearing this resounding answer, Chris became even more satisfied. No wonder this soldier's technical movements were so standard. It turned out that he was a top soldier of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, which was not surprising at all.
Those who can be placed in the 1st Company are the most carefully selected good talents. These soldiers may not know it yet, but Chris is training these soldiers according to the regimental commander.
Every night, Chris would have meals with these soldiers, teach them how to apply all the knowledge they had learned, and penetrate some management and scheduling knowledge into their subconscious minds.
If the 100,000-strong Wehrmacht were the backbone of Germany's rise, then the teaching regiment was destined to be the backbone of Eiland Hill. Each of these soldiers could go out to act independently and directly serve as the platoon leader or even the company commander of an ordinary infantry regiment.
"Do you know why this foxhole was dug?" Chris suddenly asked curiously. He felt that it was not a bad thing to test his students occasionally.
"To show off your firepower and protect yourself!" Kasa replied immediately with his chin held high.
"How to use firepower?" Chris continued to ask.
Casa still answered immediately: "When we are equipped with more weapons, we can effectively annihilate the enemies on the front by relying on the multi-layered deep defense line built by trenches and foxholes."
When answering this paragraph, Casa even felt that his notes were right in front of him: he would review that notebook every night, and it recorded many of what Chris said in class.
Chris was so satisfied with Casa's answer. As long as there was such a person who understood what he was talking about, then the lessons he took with candles every night would be meaningful.
"Very good! Kasa!" Chris reached out and patted Kasa on the shoulder: "Promote him to the squad leader of his teaching class, and promote Kasa to the squad leader! We need such soldiers!"
His words made the recording officer stunned for a moment, then he nodded and obeyed: "Yes! Your Majesty! We have at least 7 soldiers who have met the promotion standards."
"Let's go! Go over and take a look at the second one!" Chris pressed the new weapon on his waist and walked towards the defensive position on the other side.
It was a beautiful Peacekeeper Colt revolver. The weapon was very simple in design and extremely reliable: the only reason Chris was so late in equipping him with this pistol was actually the bullet production capacity.
The old problem of inadequacy.
It was only recently, after opening the seventeenth bullet production factory, that Chris finally began to produce 9mm caliber pistol bullets and began to produce pistols for individual soldiers.
The production process of this kind of pistol is very simple. Compared with the Mauser 98k rifle, which has higher technological requirements, this kind of pistol that was born in the 19th century can be said to be "very easy to produce."
However, Chris did not directly take out the original Colt revolver with a caliber of .45 because he did not want future submachine guns to also choose this large-caliber pistol cartridge.
Because he saw the complete technology tree, Chris preferred 9mm caliber pistol ammunition, because this can distinguish future submachine guns from assault rifles without worrying about waste.
After all, the most useful submachine guns in the future will all be 9 mm caliber, and the functions of large-caliber submachine guns will be completely replaced by assault rifles using half-power ammunition.
The improved Colt revolver is smaller and fires 9 mm caliber bullets. Although the power is weakened, it is more convenient to carry.
Because of this, once this pistol came out, it became the favorite of Alan Hill's top brass: from Chris to Des, from Waggron to Wilkes, almost everyone is equipped with one.
pistol.
Subsequent arming work also began, and all officers were equipped with such weapons. However, due to traditional reasons, these officers still had to wear their own long swords, which looked a bit nondescript.
More advanced military uniforms have also been designed. Chris lengthened the hem of the tunic and changed it into a type similar to a windbreaker, so that wearing an armed belt looks more harmonious.
In the cuffs, collar, shoulders and arms, officers are clearly different from soldiers. The purpose of this is to allow officers to wear helmets on the battlefield, and after wearing the helmet, they can still be quickly distinguished from soldiers.
.
Chris believed that the opponent did not have such a thing as a sniper, so there was no need to worry about the risk of officers being sniped. Therefore, all the officers used bright yellow silk thread to show the pattern of military rank on their cuffs. This traditional Chris used
It belongs to the modern European army, and its purpose is very simple: it looks good and is eye-catching.
His own military uniform is quite unique, because his military uniform is bright yellow with dark gold patterns. This is also the only yellow military uniform in Eiland Hill.
Under Chris's plan, the future Air Force will have red uniforms, the future Navy will have white uniforms, and the Army will have gray uniforms. As for camouflage, it is not part of the regular uniforms.
Winter has arrived, and although there is no snow, the temperature is already very low. The soldiers have been issued woolen sweaters, which can easily cope with the weather at hand.
As for when it’s colder, soldiers are also issued cotton-padded jackets: Now Chris finally knows why it’s so expensive to raise a soldier. Des said that every grenadier in Eiland Hill is built with money.
Yes, this is really true.
In addition to the expensive Mauser 98k rifle and its matching ammunition, each of the equipment of the Airan Hill Grenadier costs about 5 gold coins.
Most of the gold coins Des brought and those earned from the grassland have been turned into supplies and distributed to these soldiers.
As for their enemies, each soldier only needs a set of cheap armor and a not-so-valuable spear. About 1 gold coin per person is enough.
Therefore, it is impossible for the grenadiers of Elanthil to be defeated by the soldiers of the Mortal Empire. Because even if the gains brought by scientific and technological progress are not taken into account, the cost of one Grenadier of Elanthil is also the cost of their enemies.
