Chapter 29 Frontline
(It's thundering outside, let's change it early, the tickets are all in the bowl
~By the way, thank you Meng Ru Yaoli for the reward. )
Tang Fang huddled in the corner of the cockpit of the transport plane, dozing off against the saber-toothed tiger anti-armor fighting vehicle behind him. Aros and Hausen sat not far across from him. Due to the shield of the power armor helmet, they could not see their faces clearly. expression.
Without the atmospheric friction, the transport plane flew very smoothly. After about twenty minutes, it slowly landed on the tarmac behind the armored division camp.
The vibration of the fuselage landing and the muffled sound from the opening of the rear door woke the three people in the cabin.
Tang Fang yawned and stretched, and slowly stood up. The power armor on the outside of his body made him extremely uncomfortable, as if he was stuffed in a steel container, and it felt like a canned tuna bean.
Although this thing is quite advanced, it integrates various functions such as adjusting the internal environment, scanning analysis, power assistance, and communication. However, he is still accustomed to operating on a planet with an atmosphere transformed, wearing a light combat uniform.
"It's so awkward to wear this stuff!" Hausen's voice came from the communicator. It seemed that he didn't like this cumbersome iron guy very much.
Tang Fang glanced at the brightly lit apron outside the cabin door, said lightly, "Let's go," and then took the two off the transport plane.
As early as after learning that the Archimedes was temporarily called up to go to Nami Star, the two disputed areas of the Monya and Sulu empires, Tang Convenience knew that there would be a fierce battle next.
Sure enough, after the Archimedes came to Nami with Alfred's Tiger Shark-class destroyer, she just woke up, drank a cup of coffee, and before her butt was warm, she was dispatched to the surface of the planet by Clapham.
If it was put in the past, Tang Fang would definitely be scolding the gods and let them join the armored division's combat troops, wouldn't that mean pushing them into the fire pit? But at this moment, he didn't have so many ideas, and he was at ease when he came. Live! Then collect as much life energy as possible.
As soon as the three got off the transport plane, four airport receptionists came over. Three of them went up to drive the saber-toothed tiger anti-armored fighting vehicle, and the other approached them: "Who is Sergeant Tang Yan among you?"
"I, I am."
"Oh, then you come with me!" After that, the receptionist walked towards the base headquarters building with the three of them.
"Sergeant..." Tang Yan muttered silently on the way. He was promoted from sergeant to sergeant because of his achievements in saving the resource data of Planet 5 and saving the company commander. But to be honest, he has no joy in his heart for this so-called award, because one day he will leave the army, even if the army gives him a general, he is not uncommon.
The headquarters building is built in the center of the entire logistics base, covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters.
After several days and nights of intense arrangements, the formation process of the entire base has been completed 67%. Since both sides are currently in the logistics construction period, they have not yet set out to exchange fire. Except for the reconnaissance arms, most of the combat troops are gathered in the Hundreds of kilometers from the headquarters.
As early as before he got off the scientific research ship, Tang Convenience learned some news about the composition of the forces of the warring parties from the intelligence officer.
The 3789 Armored Division of the Thunder Fleet has two armored brigades, an infantry brigade, a combat aviation brigade, two engineer battalions, an air defense battalion, as well as an intelligence battalion, a communications battalion, a reserve battalion, a support battalion, a special company, Biochemical company and others. Including non-combatants such as accompanying logistics and medical personnel, there are more than 13,000 people.
The Silver Winged Infantry Division under the Holy Violet Fleet of the Sulu Empire has 3,000 fewer people than the 3789 Armored Division of the Thunder Fleet, but as a mechanized unit with a special title, its equipment is sophistication. Much higher than the 3789 division.
One side is well-equipped, and the other side has a superior number of people,
From a macro point of view, it is half a catty, evenly matched.
The receptionist took Tang Fang to a room in the corner of the headquarters building, and after handing the three to an officer, he turned and left.
There is an ecological circulation system in the headquarters building to provide oxygen. At this time, Tang Fang and the three have taken off their helmets. Hausen's face is solemn, while Aros is holding a cigar and looking at the surrounding environment very casually.
The box of inferior cigars that was pulled from the dead man had already been smoked. As for where the new thing on his mouth came from, Tang Fang did not ask. Anyway, after arriving at Nami, Clapham talked to him alone. When he came back, he had an extra box of "Davidoff" boutique cigars in his hand.
"Are you Tang Yan?" The commander in charge of receiving the three was a dark-skinned Asian man. After looking at the three faces, he went straight to Tang Fang and asked.
"Yes." Tang Fang nodded.
"You three wait here for a while." The Asian man turned and walked out of the room.
After a while, when he turned around, there was a slightly chubby Caucasian man around 30 years old behind him.
"Captain Powell Taylor, he is Sergeant Tang Yan, Lieutenant Colonel Nichol ordered to arrange it in your reconnaissance company."
Powell nodded, leaned forward from behind, and looked at the three Tang Fang carefully: "Sergeant Tang Yan."
"Yes!" Tang Fang raised his chest and saluted.
"Take your people, follow me." After that, Powell led the way, and Tang Fang led Aros and Hausen to follow.
450 kilometers away from the base, the 1st Armored Brigade is stationed.
Powell's reconnaissance company is affiliated to the company directly under the First Armored Brigade. The company has 145 people, including 106 combat personnel and 39 logistics, communications, medical, and maintenance personnel.
The location of the company was on the right flank of the entire brigade camp area. When Powell brought three people into the camp, some company members were arranging firearms and medicines, some were debugging electronic equipment, and some in twos and threes gathered in the smoke-filled barracks. Chat and spank and enjoy the calm moments before the storm.
"Jin Yonghao, come out." Powell shouted towards a barracks from a distance.
After a while, the balance air pressure chamber at the entrance of the barracks was opened, and Jin Yonghao, who was wearing only close-fitting combat uniforms and a dog tag hanging around his neck, appeared in the field of vision of Tang Fang and the three with a few soldiers.
"Commander, second platoon leader Kim Yong-ho is here."
Powell nodded and pointed to the three Tang Fang behind him: "This is Sergeant Tang Yan, and the three of them will be under your control from now on."
Jin Yonghao half-squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes and glanced at the three of Tang Fang: "Yes."
"Okay, take them to the barracks to get acquainted with the environment." After saying this, Powell turned and entered the command room next to him.
"You three, come with me." Jin Yonghao waved at the three of them, turned and walked into the barracks.
The empire has been using foreign troops for years, and it has long been commonplace to temporarily place soldiers. Tang Fang, Aros, and Hausen look like veterans who have been on the battlefield and have fought in wars. The so-called familiarity with the environment is to help them arrange beds and introduce them. Just some basic precautions for the troops.
Taking off the cumbersome power armor, like Jin Yonghao, the three came to the camp of the second platoon with only personal combat uniforms.
The entire camp consists of soldiers' dormitories, equipment centers, conference rooms, bathrooms, and the rest hall in the middle. Jin Yonghao assigned a sergeant to lead three people to make up the beds, and he turned around and entered the rest hall in the center.
Under the leadership of the sergeant, Tang Fang and the three found the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower and walking through the central rest area, Jin Yonghao suddenly waved to the three of them and pointed to a deck of playing cards on the table in front of him: "Hey, new here, how about two?"
"No, thank you." Tang Fang said while wiping his hair.
"Hmph, the platoon commander told you to play two games because he looked down on you. Don't be a goddamn ignorant of you." A second-class soldier who was playing darts not far away glanced back at the three of them and said coldly.
Tang Fang's expression turned cold, and his eyes added a bit of coldness. Jin Yonghao is of Asian race, and his name is similar to the descendants of Yan and Huang. He originally had a good impression of him, but at this time, it seems that this guy is not a good thing like most of the lower-level officers of the imperial army.
The so-called "playing two games" is actually not a way for the commander to win over the soldiers' feelings, but a means of asking for bribes in disguise. Generally speaking, if a new soldier wants to integrate into a group as soon as possible, honoring the superior is the first step. As for the ways, there are many tricks, but the most simple and effective one is the so-called "playing two games". "Intimate (salary)."
There are two things that the imperial army should not avoid.
One does not avoid prostitution. Many princes and dignitaries have prostitutes in their fleets. Soldiers pay, BIAO children sell their bodies, and the fleet executives take a cut. In this way, a large part of the military salaries issued to the grassroots soldiers will be returned to the national treasury.
Second, do not avoid gambling. Objectively speaking, this thing that has all the harm and no benefit is inherited from the founding emperor of the Mengya Empire, Maxwell I.
According to legend, Maxwell Stewart was a gambler. He was originally a security guard for a cargo ship of a large pharmaceutical company during the Earth Federation period. Later, a political storm caused by economic problems caused the federal parliament to be torn apart. From then on, the world was in chaos.
Maxwell's cargo fleet was ambushed by pirates in the process of transporting important supplies. In order to escape the pursuit of the pirates, his cargo ship found a gap, started the warp engine, and finally escaped from the siege.
In the turmoil of the current situation and the incident of being attacked by pirates, Maxwell seemed to have some inspiration. When the cargo ship escaped from the virtual space and entered the real universe, he joined several security guards and imitated the pirate behavior and hijacked the cargo ship. Re-sell the ship's vital supplies to black market traders, then kill the crew and blame the pirates.
Next, he used the money earned from reselling supplies and cargo ships to buy helpers, and acted as a mercenary. With the weakening and disintegration of the federal forces, he continued to develop and grow, and finally became the next generation of heroes in the starry sky.
During Maxwell's career as a mercenary, he never forbade his soldiers to gamble, on the contrary, he actively participated. In the words he inspired his men at the time: "If you lose all, then go for it, go for it. If you win, then go to eat, drink, find women, and enjoy life, because this is a troubled world, and no one knows what When you lie down, you can't get up again."
Later, this vice of Maxwell was regarded as the golden rule by his descendants and was preserved. However, with the development of the times, what was originally used to motivate his subordinates has been used by some grass-roots officers as a simple and direct means of extorting bribes without fear of being investigated by the above.
If Tang Yan was changed in this matter, he might swallow his anger and choose to give in. However, now it is Tang Fang who dominates this body. Not to mention the money was sent to Tang Lin and Tang Yun for daily expenses, even if not, he wouldn't lick Jin Yonghao's toes, Wei Haitao was playing dead, not to mention a mere small row. long.
"Sorry, I came here to assist you in the battle under the order of Major Clapham Christian, not your direct subordinates, so you don't have to look down on me, and I don't have to look down on you." After that, he didn't look beside him. Jin Yonghao, who was stunned, turned around and walked towards the dormitory: "Don't provoke me, otherwise, you will die miserably."
"He's crazy? How can he talk to the commander? What kind of attitude is that!" This sentence caused an uproar, and more than a dozen soldiers in the restroom sitting in a group chatting and spanking stared blankly at his back.
"It's too arrogant, too ignorant, and he doesn't even look at whose territory this is, dare to be so presumptuous."
"There are 30 people in the row, and there are 3 of them in total. They dare to be so arrogant. I really don't know how to write dead words? It doesn't need to be too many, just one person and one punch, and they don't know the fuck."
"No wonder the platoon leader told us just now to show these three people a little color. Like this crazy guy, we should teach us a lesson and kill their arrogance."
Tang Fang didn't know that Jin Yonghao had arranged the manpower early in the morning. If he went to the road and obeyed obediently, then everything would be easy to say. If it's thorny and doesn't open his eyes, then give him a slap in the face and let him know the rules of the Thunder Fleet.
Of course, Tang Fang didn't even know that Jin Yonghao was not a descendant of Yan and Huang, but a pure descendant of Goryeo.
