Chapter 2989
Although the time has entered December, the tropical Cebu Island does not have winter, and the daytime temperature is still around [-] degrees.Fortunately, the rainy season is over, and it is now a long dry season, so there is no need to worry about frequent rainfall affecting the efficiency of troops marching in the mountains and forests.
After leaving the urban area and entering the mountains, there are no ready-made roads, and the local guides who are familiar with the terrain can only lead the team forward.
Although the environment in the mountains is hot and humid, in order to prevent the ubiquitous snakes, insects, rats and ants from invading, the soldiers did not dare to take off their clothes to cool off.
Zheng Agui was also sweating profusely at this time, not only the clothes on his body were wet, but he could feel that the shoes under his feet were also wet.There was only a small half of the pot of water that he carried on his back when he set off, but because he didn't know when he would stop to rest for supplies, he didn't dare to drink up the water easily, so he could only continue to march despite his thirst.
And the conditions of these people under him are similar. Everyone's marching load is about [-] catties. They have been walking in the mountains and forests for several hours, and their physical strength is really exhausted.
Before the operation, the Haihan army had gathered all the local pack horses in Cebu, but the number was only more than 100, and almost all of them were used to carry various logistics materials, and the soldiers still had to carry their own equipment.
Finally came the order to rest from the front, Zheng Agui quickly found a flat and dry place to sit down, unloaded the heavy backpack to the ground, so that the aching shoulders could relax.
Qin Bo, who was following behind him, was even more exhausted and lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, and it took him a while to recover.
"By the time we reach the destination, everyone will be exhausted, how can we fight this battle!" Qin Bo complained.
Zheng Agui said: "Hurry up and recover your strength, I guess this is the last time to stop and rest before the fight begins."
In order not to expose the whereabouts early and startle the snakes, no fires can be lit during the march, so don't expect hot food and hot water to be supplied at this time, and the soldiers can only eat some dry food with cold water to fill their stomachs.
However, the military rations distributed before this operation are higher than before. There are compressed biscuits and jerky packaged in oil paper. After eating a little and drinking some water, it is easy to feel full.Even for a player like Qiu Yong, after eating two or three compressed biscuits, he can almost be full.
When everyone was hurrying to eat, they saw a group of people approaching quickly in front of them, and an officer was yelling to give way, and they also quickly got up to make way.
The military uniforms worn by this group of people are different from the gray cloth military uniforms of Zheng Agui and others. They are mottled in green and green colors. The heads, backpacks, and even the rifles in their hands are covered with grass leaves as a cover. It is difficult to distinguish the facial features with green or brown oil paint.As soon as this body drilled into the woods, it was really difficult to see the figure clearly from a little further away.
Zheng Agui knew that this military uniform was called a camouflage uniform, and only a very small number of elite soldiers in the army were eligible to wear it, and this special attire was most likely the leading soldiers who went out to perform reconnaissance missions.
Sure enough, when they got closer, they found that they were still carrying a prisoner with a branch.The prisoner was tied hand and foot, strung to a tree branch, and his mouth was tightly gagged.The four people carried him and walked like flying, like a hunter returning home with a full load.
"The scouts caught him alive, and it looks like they are going to be sent to the headquarters for a surprise trial." Zheng Agui had already deduced what happened when he saw this.
"Squad leader, did you see that the rifles they use seem to be different from ours!" Qin Bo said enviously.
Zheng Agui said: "It's not just rifles, they also carry two crossbows on their backs. I saw the officers of the battalion headquarters try out that kind of crossbows on the shooting range. They are extremely lethal, and they are specially used to kill sentries."
The military strength of the Luzon region is certainly not top-notch among the overseas regions, and the actual combat experience and equipment level seem to be obviously insufficient. However, there are actually a small number of well-equipped elite troops in the army.
The unit responsible for carrying out the reconnaissance mission this time is the reconnaissance company directly under the Guards Battalion under the Luzon Management Committee. It has only [-] people, but its military expenditure even exceeds that of the entire Bangui Battalion.
In addition to the seven-shot Lianzhu gun, the main weapon listed in this reconnaissance company is the Type 50 rifle that is still in the testing period.This is also the first bolt-action rifle manufactured by Haihan Ordnance. It adopts a rotating rear-action mechanism and uses copper-cased rifle bullets filled with smokeless powder. It is fundamentally different from the various rifles manufactured by Haihan in the past. difference.
Although the loading capacity of this rifle is only five rounds, it seems that it is not as good as the seven-round rifle that was installed in the elite troops before, but the power and accuracy of the Type 50 are far superior to the predecessors, and the effective range is as far as two hundred feet. .
Of course, the design scheme of this rifle has long been stored in the database of Haihan Ordnance Industry. The main reason why it took so many years to start trial production is that the cost of manufacturing and using it is too high, and the price-performance ratio is not cost-effective. .
It was not until recent years that Haihan's industrial level has improved, and the precision and cost of machining have reached a new balance point, that the plan to develop a new rifle was put on the agenda again by the Ministry of National Defense.
However, due to cost and production capacity, this advanced weapon cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time. It can only be trial-produced in small batches, and then handed over to some elite troops for trial.
If you want to line up and select trial candidates based on pure military strength, then the Luzon garrison is likely to be out of turn.However, the trial of new weapons must take into account various environments and be used in a wider area as much as possible in order to obtain comprehensive results. Therefore, the Luzon Region, which guards the southeastern border of the empire, has the opportunity to trial the Type 50 rifle.
Even so, the high purchase price and strictly limited supply can only allow the Luzon garrison to equip this new type of weapon for a very small number of elite soldiers selected from thousands of miles.
Zheng Agui actually didn't know the value of the rifle carried by the scout, because it was the first time he had seen this new type of rifle, and the gun was tied with branches and leaves as a cover, so he couldn't see it clearly.In contrast, the scout's special outfit is more eye-catching.
Envy is envy, but everyone also knows that their strength is far from these scouts, and they are not qualified to use the same weapons and equipment.Not to mention anything else, seeing that others can still walk like flying while carrying the captives, and seeing that I am already as tired as a dog just by marching. I don't know how long it will take to make up for this physical gap.
Not long after, the latest intelligence and orders have been conveyed to each company. Their current resting place is only about three miles away from the enemy's garrison. Next, each company will march separately and form a fan-shaped encirclement of the target before launching an offensive.
