“Sir, we have discovered that there are people inside our military garrison, and we have a large number of personnel stationed there.
We tried to get closer to ask, but they pushed us back. They seemed to have heavy firepower! "
The Rangers' report was very brief, but the message was clear. The rebels had indeed occupied the military garrison.
"Well, it seems that Petrov's words are not all false, but they are just a group of rebels who continue to strengthen their reconnaissance near the military station.
The main force is deployed for combat five hundred meters away from the military station! "
Captain Vladimia gave battle orders in a deep voice.
There is no need to hold any battle meetings now. After they arrive at the front line one after another, they will conduct several artillery fire coverage and feint attacks first.
"Sir, should we give the aviation formation a warning?" an adjutant suggested thoughtfully.
"Remind? What to remind? A group of guys who only know how to cheer for us, there is no need to notify them!!"
Lieutenant Colonel Vladimia sneered and shook his head, his expression seemed to say, what kind of rotten fish dares to touch our continental army?
The adjutant didn't find it strange at all when he heard this. Instead, he thought it was natural. He just reminded him casually.
The reason why it feels so normal is also very simple. Conflicts between the navy, land and air force have always existed these days, no matter which country it is.
Perhaps the most serious among them is the Japanese. Their three armies are like living separately from each other, and the chain of contempt has become a tight closed loop.
Secondly, there is also a chain of contempt between the three armed forces among Western Europeans, but it is relatively less serious.
It's just like Germany during World War I. It used 100,000 people to build its air defense force. The manpower and material resources spent were enough to arm four integrated divisions of the army.
To build a Bismarck warship, the Army will lose 2,500 No. 4 vehicles, or 250 Tigers, which is the cost of ten armored divisions.
For the army, this money is enough to win another France.
If you include the navy's horrifying ammunition, fuel expenses, and even the price of any torpedo, it is more expensive than building a tank. It consumes enough fuel to drive a tank from Warsaw to Moscow.
The shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns were enough to carry out several offensive battles back and forth on the Eastern Front.
Such a huge amount of consumption would be justified if the results were outstanding, but as a result, the navy went out for a walk, shot back and forth with the opponent, and then disappeared after a while.
This makes the Army convinced that with this money, it can take Stalingrad.
And the Air Force, why are you always fishing for fish when the frontline offensive is in urgent need of air power reinforcements? With this spare money on the Eastern Front, I can beat the enemy until they can't even lift their heads.
To put it simply, the national finances are limited. If you have more, I will have less.
If the party with more financial resources can make outstanding contributions, there will definitely not be so many contradictions, but this is unrealistic.
After all, the Air Force and the Navy mainly compete for air supremacy and sea power, and they cannot be described by record alone.
This also leads to the emergence of an endless cycle, just like Russia, although the situation is relatively better.
But in actual terms, Russia's air force is only a few years old.
If you think about it carefully, in fact, during World War II, the Russian Army often heard about their outstanding performance, but they seemed to be unknown in the Air Force.
In fact, it was because of the reforms that the Air Force actually started to really take off after World War I.
In recent years, investment in the construction of the Air Force has been gradually increased. In fact, the Air Force currently has less than 3,000 fighter aircraft of all types.
But now it can be said that investment in the air force is increasing year by year, until in 2041, the aviation fleet reached a terrifying number of more than 20,000.
Seeing so many military-industrial forces gradually increasing investment in the air force, as a member of the army, it would be damned if Vladimia had a good impression of them.
Soon, they had a fierce exchange of fire with the rebels in the military garrison. Wave after wave of fierce artillery fire hit the opposite position, carrying out rounds of artillery fire.
It’s just that something seems a little wrong!
"Sir, could there be a mistake? Didn't you say that these rebels stole a large amount of our arms? Why didn't we see their artillery fire counterattack?"
The adjutant put down the binoculars with a look of doubt on his face.
Although the arms of each military station are different, there are at least dozens of artillery pieces. Now this...
It was not that there was no artillery counterattack at all, but the sporadic artillery fire was like the poor little starlight in the dark night.
Lieutenant Colonel Vladimia couldn't help but rub his chin, then slapped his thigh and laughed, "It's very simple, these rebels don't know how to use it!"
Rebels are rebels, and many of them have not received military training. Even the current military forces in Outer Mongolia cannot do this unless they are specialized artillery.
"But... didn't they also fire on us? This..."
The adjutant still felt something was wrong.
It is indeed difficult to train a professional gunner, but if you just say you can fire a gun, it is easy to train. As long as you teach casually, you can quickly master it within ten minutes.
The opponent's gunner obviously learned how to catch a duck on the shelf, and his shooting was completely devoid of any accuracy.
But if it’s just a matter of firing shots, how can others follow suit? With the arms reserves of the military station, shouldn't so many cannons be left unused?
Secondly, there is another very suspicious point!
The opponent doesn't seem to have many machine guns.
On average, the three bunkers can only equip three light and heavy machine guns. In total, there are only about five heavy machine guns and five light machine guns.
Such a small amount of arms is completely inconsistent with the arms in the military station?
But there was really no way to break open this bunker for a while.
If they had come half an hour earlier, the miners here would still be familiar with the terrain and even feast on some military canned vodka stored inside.
When Zhao Ming left at that time, he couldn't take away many supplies due to the limited horsepower here, which was a benefit to the miners here.
Everyone works in the mines, and they are often hungry on weekdays. How can we not eat as much as we see the meat and fish?
After eating and drinking, they remembered the crisis that Zhao Ming and the others had warned them about when they left, and they began to imitate what they had seen before, squatting in the trenches like a cat and a tiger.
Even with their exploration, they learned how to use bunkers to snipe foreign enemies faster.
In this way, a group of miners who had never received much military training before developed certain combat capabilities in a short period of time.
After relying on the favorable terrain to carry out a counterattack, we found that the effect was good. It can be said that the more we fought, the more confident we became.
In fact, this is not surprising. If Lieutenant Colonel Vladimia launched an all-out attack at the beginning, this group of new recruits might be panicked, causing the position to change hands in a short time.
However, in order to detect the situation, Vladimia launched a small exploratory feint attack after the artillery fire coverage.
Not only did these new recruits adapt to the battlefield atmosphere, but they also gradually gave the opponent confidence.
Just like Zhao Ming's previous analysis of this military garrison, if sufficient preparations are made, this garrison can cause a lot of trouble to the enemy even if it is guarded by a group of monkeys.
