Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 561 Not enough points

A good pair of shoes is very important for soldiers.

In the army of this era, only Nyasaland uses integrated military boots, which can provide maximum protection for the ankles. Other countries, including the United Kingdom, also use split military boots, which cannot actually protect the ankles. parts.

The military industry in Nyasaland is very developed. The Johannesburg Textile Factory provides Nyasaland with a variety of furs and cloths. Ada has established the largest outfitting factory in southern Africa in Port Edward, not only for the Rhodesian Northern Division Provide a variety of military equipment, and produce military products to meet the needs of the whole society.

Nyasaland's military status is relatively high, so military supplies are quite popular. An ordinary jacket with a decorative belt on the waist and a decorative letter on the shoulder will immediately trigger a panic buying wave.

The military boots worn by Tang descendants are already the third-generation military boots equipped by Nyasaland. Compared with the first-generation military boots, the cowhide uppers of the third-generation military boots are all lined, and the toe is also added. Steel plates were installed, and ventilation holes were added to the body of the shoes. A pair of military boots like this sold for nine pounds at the Military Service Agency in Little Rock.

As an upper class soldier and a first-class shooter, Tang Yi has won ranks in the whole army competition, and his monthly salary is only five pounds.

Of course, Tang Yi definitely doesn’t need to pay for military boots. The Rhodesian Northern Division distributes four pairs of military boots to all soldiers every year. This is a unique benefit of the Rhodesian Northern Division. The new First Cavalry Division nothing.

Chen Pound keenly noticed that Tang Yi's military boots seemed a bit worn out, not like they were just issued.

"Of course not. I gave my son the military boots that were just issued. We can wear whatever we want." Tang Yi did not hide it. This is normal in the Northern Rhodesian Division. Every soldier in the Northern Rhodesian Division has a set of boots every year. Dresses, two sets of regular uniforms, four sets of training uniforms, two pairs of leather shoes, and four pairs of combat boots, there is simply not enough to wear.

"Then be careful not to let the second lieutenant know, or you will have to clean the toilet—" Chen Pang kindly reminded that this kind of behavior by Tang Yi is not allowed in the Rhodesia Northern Division in principle, but it is actually implemented At that time, most of the officers turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, and no one was serious about this issue.

After all, it is not a matter of principle. If it involves troop training, or military supplies such as weapons and ammunition, the management of the Northern Rhodesian Division is also very strict. Anyone who violates discipline will be locked up in confinement at least, and held accountable at worst.

As for cleaning, this is not a punishment at all, it is more of a spur.

"Hey, if you don't tell me, who knows if I don't -" Before Tang Yi finished speaking, the platoon leader, Second Lieutenant Qiao Yingwu, jumped into the machine gun position of Chen Pang's team.

"How are you preparing?" Qiao Yingwu just graduated from Nyasaland Army Academy a month ago. Originally, Qiao Yingwu was to be transferred to serve in the Cape Third Division, but due to the sudden outbreak of war, Qiao Yingwu was unable to make the trip.

This is actually a good thing. If Qiao Yingwu survives this test, then after reaching the third division, Qiao Yingwu will be more reused. Maybe one cent can directly become one cent, or two cents.

One cent is one bar and one star. In the military rank system just established by the federal government, it represents a second lieutenant, one cent is a captain, and two cents is a major with two bars and one star.

At the major level, you can almost be a battalion commander.

"Second Lieutenant, get ready!" Chen Pound and Tang Yi said in unison, because they were in a battlefield, and Chen Pang and Tang Yi used the military salute in the field.

The military salute of the federal government is inherited from Nyasaland's military salute, which is the same as the PLA military salute.

The military salute in the field is to beware of the enemy's precision shooters. When saluting, only raise your hands to the chest position, so that the enemy's precision shooters can't tell who is the officer and can't carry out precise roll call.

In fact, in the current establishment of European countries, accurate shooters are not valued, so this regulation of Nyasaland seems to be too advanced.

However, many of Nyasaland's regulations are derived from summarizing experience and lessons in actual exercises. Naturally, there is a need for him. When it comes to the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether the enemy's precision shooters will name Nyasaland's officers. , anyway, Nyasaland's precise shooter is definitely not polite.

"Put your hands down, you want to kill me—" Qiao Yingwu subconsciously made an evasive movement. In an internal confrontation with the northern division of Rhodesia, because the leader of the first regiment was careless, he was killed by the second regiment. The precise shooter was found, leading to a complete failure of the exercise.

It's all lessons learned from blood and tears. After that failure, all the officers of the first regiment cleaned the toilets for a whole week from the head of the first regiment.

The whole army!

"Hey, Master Qiao, the Germans haven't come yet—" Chen Pang and Tang Yi immediately relaxed, Chen Pang was still cleaning his machine gun, and Tang Yi was busy putting on his shoes.

Qiao Yingwu still noticed Tang Yi's shoes, but he didn't say anything. The military boots on his own feet were also half-new and not old, and the situation was probably similar to that of Tang Yi.

"Your position is the forefront of our entire battalion. When we fight later, Tang Yi, you should be smart. Fight if you can, and retreat if you can't fight. Remember the words of the lord, if you lose your land, you will lose your land. If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive." Qiao Yingwu still couldn't help worrying that this was the first time that the assault group had truly gone abroad, and there was a lot of pressure from top to bottom.

"Don't worry, Master Qiao, we're ready." Tang Yi heartlessly, patted the magazine beside him and laughed.

As the garrison of Little Rock, the Assault Regiment must have the most adequate equipment and logistics. In Chen Pun's machine gun position, a light machine gun is equipped with fifteen one-hundred-round ammunition boxes, and a whole box of defensive grenades is added at the same time. In addition to rifles, Yi and another deputy shooter are each equipped with a new high-power pistol produced by Nyasaland. In terms of firepower alone, the firepower of Chen Pang and his machine gun team can be equivalent to A platoon of the Tanganyika German Army.

Ten meters behind the position of the machine gun team of Tang origin is the super revolver position. Between the two positions is the foxhole for four special shooters of the first squad. The positions of the second squad on the left and the third squad on the right are exactly the same as the first squad. The positions of the battalion were criss-crossed like this, supporting each other. It didn't matter if the Second Tanganyika Division didn't pass through Fort Helmut.

Qiao Yingwu still wanted to give a few words of advice, but a hasty whistle suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

This is the signal to find the German army.

"After all the auxiliary forces have withdrawn to their positions, all are ready to fight. We are about to meet the enemy. This is not a drill. Repeat—" Qiao Yingwu immediately jumped up, urging all the officers and soldiers to enter the fighting state.

In fact, Qiao Yingwu didn't need to remind him. As soon as the whistle sounded, all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion moved quickly.

Chen Pang still folded the oilcloth very carefully, put it in his purse, and then entered the position with a light machine gun.

Tang Yi is also ready. The two spare barrels have been taken out of the gun bag, and the gloves have been put on. He is ready to change the barrel at any time.

The other assistant shooter, Pei Du, also moved very quickly. Fifteen full magazines were placed in the most convenient position. The grenade box had been opened. If the enemy approached within 50 meters of the position, Pei Du and Tang Yi would have to Use the grenade to give Chen Pound maximum protection.

"It's up to you, fight hard!" Qiao Yingwu exhorted, patted Chen Pang on the shoulder vigorously, and ran back along the trench with his back bent.

This is not to run away, but to check other positions. Nyasaland's military discipline is very strict. However, the main officers are safe and sound, so the officers will also be held accountable.

Chen Pang didn't speak, and Pei Du had just installed the ammunition box, and Chen Pound loaded it with a crash. From now on, this position with a radius of no more than two square meters will be the medal of Chen Pound's team.

Or a cemetery.

August Dorn, the commander of Tanganyika's Second Division, did not realize that a brutal battle was about to start.

Feng Duxing is also rich in experience, and all conditions must be used to the extreme. Since Mumu sent some of his subordinates to cooperate with the assault regiment, these subordinates of Mumu will undertake the task of luring the enemy. The firefighters were all Honor Hold rebels.

The rebels, although they have received several months of assault training, are still different from the regular army.

Many rebels couldn't wait to shoot when they were five or 600 meters away from the German soldiers. Although the battle was very lively when the battle broke out, it actually did not have much impact on the Second Tanganyika Division.

"That's right, it's those damn Taitera people!" Marshall Thomas, the deputy commander, put down the binoculars in his hand. The Honor Hold rebels now also have their own flag, blue, green and black with yellow lines, which looks very eye-catching.

"Stop, boys, kill them!" August Dorn straightened his collar, put on his military cap, and yanked the front seat heavily with the whip in his hand.

August Dorn also rode in a military vehicle produced by Nyasaland, but his appearance was a bit magical. He had already used the vehicle, but he still couldn't throw away his horsewhip.

The sound of the whip whipping on the seat startled the adjutant in the co-pilot.

Immediately the adjutant jumped down, called out to the orderlies, and ordered the officers to organize a counterattack.

The Germans were also too careless. They didn't take the Honor Hold rebels to heart at all. They didn't know the number of Honor Hold rebels or their equipment, so they launched an attack rashly.

The power of habit is powerful, and the Germans really put out a crowd tactic, with almost a battalion of troops invested in the attack.

Of course, because of the establishment of the Tanganyika servant army, a battalion of the second division of Tanganyika only has more than 300 people, so on a battlefield with a width of about 500 meters, 300 people are not considered a dense formation.

300 people, for the first battalion, not even one person can be allocated.
