Chapter 225: 14.3 Sharp Knife, ‘Strong Alliance’

The basic economic model of the nomadic peoples in the northern part of the eastern continent, in addition to domestication of artiodactyls such as cattle and sheep, has another economic animal.

It all starts with the great locust plague. The terrible pest disaster for the farming people is the key to the survival of the nomadic people in the north.

The seedlings of the farming people cannot withstand the insects, but the weeds in the pastures are blown and reborn after being eaten in the winter. After the insect swarms are active on the Haobei Plateau for about one or two months, the northern temperature has dropped, and these insects have died. Either go south.

And when the temperature dropped, these nomads dragged their tents with twenty horses, opened large tents of dozens of meters in places with many bugs, and lit the flames inside. As the temperature dropped in the evening, a large number of insect swarms tended to heat. Drill into this tent. In the early morning, the shepherd extinguished the flames in his account, and at the same time let cold air enter, and a batch of bugs would freeze to death.

In this morning, a large number of bugs will be harvested for the Yuan bird to eat.

Yuan bird-a huge bird of three meters in height, is similar to the ostrich of the earth, but it is omnivorous. 20,000 years ago, this creature was as big as a turkey. In the summer, it feeds on rodents in pastures and pastures. In the fall, it eats a lot of insects, and then digs holes in the ground with its paws for hibernation. During the 20,000 years of human beings' continuous breeding and domestication, this creature has grown to three meters in height and has a gentle temperament. And in winter, eating a lot of bugs, the egg production rate is very high, and the nutritional value of Yuan bird eggs is also very high.

At 7 am on September 12, 664, the electrical calendar, at the Mohe Ferry, on the fortress of the bunker, Su Shi (Guang Ling) watched Lu Yan's plate as a pizza-sized fried egg and quietly swallowed a sip.

But now Su Shi is embarrassed to let Lu Yi give up his body's taste control to himself, and can only watch Lu Yi holding the newspaper while chewing the cut egg with chopsticks. -Su Shi: "I'm so angry."

Well, Su Shi can only turn his attention to the surrounding environment.

At the Mohe Ferry, Lu Yong built a cutting-edge military base in the spring of 664 in the electrical calendar. This is an area where three rivers meet. As a thousand-ton ship hull rests on a simple dock on the river.

Although there is no permanent fortification like a concrete city wall, but a wall of sandbags, rows of barbed wire, and staggered five-meter tower towers are enough to stop cavalry assaults in the steppe direction.

At this time, the Tuobei Group's war positioning was very clear. The enemy was a nomadic army with low firepower, weak logistics, low organization, and low informatization. The base should be built according to actual conditions.

To find out the situation of the enemy, you can use limited funds to arrange more forward bases near the river area within a limited time.

These bases store food, ammunition and vehicle equipment. There are river links between each other.

The main transportation in the river is the cement ship, which is a layer of steel wire mesh and a layer of cement. This hull has a considerable deadweight and a low price, and is a faithful and reliable 'brother' of the Tuobei Group.

[The army is not moving, the forage is first, and sometimes the success or failure of the battle is determined first by the number of logistics and second by the number of troops]

After the successful establishment of this base, it will be able to support the strategic maneuver of the Light Mechanized Synthesis Battalion within a range of 400 kilometers.

A mechanized synthesis battalion of the Tuobei Group has about 20 armored vehicles. The heaviest tank is 15 tons and the lightest tank is a four-ton six-wheeled Jeep. These mechanical vehicles are definitely younger brothers in front of heavy tanks of more than 30 tons in Heyuan battlefield, and here are grandpa.

Tuobei Forwarding Base has accumulated abundant materials to the extreme, which can fully maintain thousands of cavalry maneuvers on the grassland for two months. To prevent dysentery alone, the daily ratio of pure water for each person reached forty kilograms.

War requires will, but pure-will determinism is Japanese horse feces of World War II. After all, humans are still meaty, and working long hours requires a lot of energy.

Compressed biscuits, water, meat, hemostatics, bandages, and alcohol fuels are naturally beyond standard supplies.

Even as long as the frontline soldiers are in good condition and can complete the work efficiently, they want to finish the battle and eat the self-heating hot pot outside the theater, and the Tuo Bei logistics department planned by Su Shi can be delivered.

A soldier who can maintain high morale for sixteen hours in a day is more efficient than the thirty energetic soldiers with poor logistics.

In fighting this kind of interference war, the party being interfered with has various complicated power divisions, so it is not necessary to have more soldiers. The military force must be sharp as a sharp knife, and it cannot be worn out in this sandbox.

After eating a hearty breakfast, Lu Yan took out a soft piece of soft paper and wiped his mouth. Then he said, "The people below have been a little hot recently."

Su Yan smashed the clean dinner plate: "Oh, they are all pressed. It is impossible to join the army. Soldiers must be tough and persevering, and they must control their personal lives. After the war, give them a vacation and go back to their wives to start a family They must not be allowed to confuse the army. Once the soldiers have developed the habit of wanton profligacy, it means that they can be bought by outside interests. "

Lu Yan raised his hand: "Okay, stop, I have arranged them to repair the fortifications to consume energy, but this is not a problem? When are we going to start a war? Morale will be suffocated if we drag on."

Su Shi watched Lu Yan and opened the map again: "The times have changed, and blood is no longer the most important factor. War machines need precise cooperation. The army must calmly and calmly complete the task, and you are the commander in chief, and you must avoid it when you think about the situation Emotional. "

[Ten hours later, at another base of Yanhe Tuobei Group]

Commander Song Tianbiao looked at the large map taken by the remote control drone and stepped on his boots on the ground.

As an officer, he wore a uniform, but such a delicate thing as the uniform could not stick to the mud, and cold temperatures would cause malfunctions. Therefore, wearing a coat with leather boots outside the mechanical suit is standard equipment.

Song Tianbiao: "Is this a war or a road?"

In the traditional civilized area of ​​East China, the density of various road facilities in the industrial revolution for the last millennium was extremely high. Military operations can rely on these lines of traffic to quickly intersect.

And this kind of war of conquering outside the territory, Song Tianbiao, a 'traditional' soldier, has not experienced it.

Song Tianbiao's complaint was quickly refuted by Zhang Da yawning next to him: "If you really want to fight, no problem, apply for a batch of horseback logistics facilities to the host (Lv 茗), don't take a car, take the cavalry directly Go for a fight. I think the road construction is good now. "

Song Tianbiao: "Do you think I can't win?"

With the current industrial equipment of the Tuobei Group, soldiers at various bases are generally equipped with exoskeleton armor and bulletproof ceramic plates. And firearms can be aimed precisely.

In comparison, the local nomad's firearms are still old-style firearms. After dozens of days of small-scale firefighting, most of the rifles are almost flattened, and the effective range is very low.

On the side of the Cesi officer, Zhang Da shook his head and said, "The general sits here in town. Doesn't he want to resolve the enemy soon? Obviously, our army is looking for opportunities."

Song Tianbiao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here all day. Repair the roads, build ships, and then pull the barbed wire. Then I'll drive into a jewellery to patrol. I'm almost an ant. You say nomads will be stupid to hit our base? Will they ride Horses intercepting our mechanical forces? Although the chariots are thin steel, our bullets can still be blocked, and recoilless artillery is installed. How about riding a horse to death? "

With a click, the communicators flashed in their ears, and they immediately put on their eyepieces.

Lu Yan's head appeared in front of the two, and the two immediately stood upright in honor of the military salute. A military map also appears on the screen interface of the eyepiece. The map uses the communication nodes as the unit to mark the location of each ground military team.

...

Lu Ye on the command ship at the Mohe ferry was operating the room. After the data link, Lu Ye looked up at the two people on the screen and nodded, "You are all on the job, ah, it's good!"

In order to prevent the army from becoming lazy as in the battle for the destruction of Sisi, the Zongli forces were lost.

The system that Su Shi formulated for Lu Yan's troops in non-wartime period was the regular report review system. Eight times a day, the person in charge on duty must report the situation to the military once every three hours.

Of course now in red alert state. The army must implement a dual leadership system, reporting once an hour, and the superior must check the post at any time. If one is found absent, the entire army will report criticism, and if it is two consecutive times, immediately revoke the leadership of the unit and the responsible person.

Therefore, the entire army remained in this state before the war, and did not slacken because of long-term waiting, and always remained highly vigilant under certain pressure.

Lu Zheng nodded to the two men: "Okay, note that you have a large-scale cluster in the direction of ten o'clock north, so be prepared."

[Su Shi ’s plan for Lu Ye was to directly disrupt the alliance of nomads in the winter, but the intervention of the Haila people was more active than Su Shi expected]

One hundred and seventy kilometers east of the Mohe Ferry appeared hostility. This was a military force composed of a group of mechanical horses.

Since the rise of the internal combustion engine, biomechanics have not completely retired. Heavy bipedal mechs have been completely replaced by heavy internal combustion engine tanks, but small mechanical horses still have meaning.

The mechanical horses brought by the Haila people are powered by edible sugar-made artificial food, and are powered by biological muscles. Torsional metal springs dampen the torso. The force is two to three times that of the best horses. Drag two to three tons of supplies. The consumption of organic matter is one-fourth of that of horses.

Because the biological muscle of the mechanical horse is a amphibious temperature-changing physique similar to a crocodile, when the temperature drops, the consumption becomes very small, and after the heating wire is rapidly heated, the muscle activity will quickly recover.

This is more suitable for transportation than a horse with a constant temperature. Of course, biomechanical beasts are obviously not the technology that nomads have.

When Lu Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but startled: What the **** is this? "

After the frontline scouts brought the news back, Su Shi couldn't help but marvel at the technological changes in this world.

...

The commander of the Haila expedition is Akira, the Governor of the Far East appointed by the parliament. He learned from the nomadic people of the Haobei Plateau last year that the country on the east mainland once again deployed military forces to the Sanjiang Plain to the east of the Haobei Plateau.

The Governor did not care about it at first, but with the continuous expansion of Lu Ye for the past year, he developed along the upper reaches of the river this spring and built a forward base.

After confirming that this military force on the eastern continent seems to be expanding in the east on a large scale, he set off from the Red Tower fortress and personally took 5,700 mechanical horses and 6,000 troops to the North Sea.

Now sitting on a light armored vehicle, he is watching the smoke and dust rising from the jeep dozens of kilometers away through the falcon, the convoy is the patrol unit of the Tobei Group.

As Governor of the Far East, Akira actually didn't want to fight this war, because he knew the military strength of the countries in the eastern land. This was not a war that the barren northern ice fields could intervene in.

For a long time, the Hala people also supported the leaders of some nomads, transported some guns and acted as mediators on the grasslands, and did not have any intention to continue south to stir up war.

After removing Yuanwang, Akira jumped out of the armored vehicle and came to the mechanical beast aside.

The metal shell of this mechanical animal is covered with thick woolen cloth for warmth, and this woolen cloth has many pockets.

Akila opened a pocket, took out a glass of high-strength spirits and took a sip to refresh herself. In the cold wind, the Governor Haila heard the sound of sniffing behind him. A group of nomadic leaders behind him apparently smelled the scent of the wine, causing the roundworm.

Seeing the leaders of these nomads, Akira also had a headache.

The illiteracy rate of these nomadic peoples is too high, and sometimes they are very ignorant and wise.

The woolen hairs outside the herdsmen's lambs were cut with a knife to make a water bladder while stealing antifreeze.

To the point that Akira simply couldn't let his army and herders fight together,

The so-called joint operations are actually the command of their own army, transportation logistics, and herders as cannon fodder.

...

This ignorant behavior of herdsmen is useless to educate. Education becomes half water, and there is no restriction on rewards and punishments. It will only allow them to understand according to their simple understanding and think that this is the thing and act more boldly.

After all, some mechanical failures cannot be detected in the short term. For example, when adding nutrition blocks to a mechanical animal, it can be slightly deducted and diluted, and poured into the digestive tract of the mechanical animal. It is impossible to detect whether the amount is low. If the herdsmen understand the details of the mechanical beast, Bacheng will more secretly remove things from the mechanical beast.

In this case, the biological muscles of the mechanical beasts will age quickly without requiring more than ten days.

In order to ensure the combat capability of his army, Akira could only strictly separate herders from his army. And use superstition to intimidate herders: each mechanical beast has a seal of the **** of the machine. If the **** of the machine is displeased, the blood of the **** who violates the **** of the machine must be re-opened. All of a sudden, the herdsmen are scared away from them.

Well, separating herdsmen from their own army is also to clarify the responsibilities of their own soldiers. If these herdsmen are not separated, it will be difficult to find out who the antifreeze of the mechanical horses was stealing!

Now, Akira handed half of the shochu to the tribal leader aside, who took a sip and then gave Akira a warm bear hug.

The Haila commander smiled and nodded, signalling that his alliance with the tribes on the Haobei Plain would be unbreakable, and would work together to deal with the Donglu people who had invaded the north.
