Chapter 328 Recruits
"People's Armed Forces telegram, June 673: Our troops have successfully joined forces with the Portland insurgents and are now continuing the operation according to the pre-arranged plan."
"Stop listening, just go for it."
Several soldiers nodded and continued to climb onto the main battle tanks. In the entire column, apart from the T-72B3s responsible for taking on the toughest challenges, there were only the M113 armored vehicles carrying red flags.
Portland has a large stockpile of equipment enough to arm nearly ten armored divisions. The California Army originally deployed equipment for several divisions there, but now it is all used by the People's Armed Forces.
That's right, the new army name has been changed again. Under this structure, more than a dozen worker divisions have been incorporated into several original field armies. Although the addition of new recruits has ensured the organization, it will inevitably lead to a decline in overall combat effectiveness.
"I heard that the International Brigades' ships have arrived."
"International Brigades? Whose?"
"Elves, humans, orcs, demons, you name it, ever since those nosy reporters reported on Comrade Alice's name, the port has been full of those ships."
"Isn't this good enough?"
"Maybe so. Anyway, we've provided a lot of support, but in return, we might have to help them after we win."
"Sigh, let's not talk about that now. Look at these new recruits."
The elf, carrying the sergeant's rank on his shoulder, glanced at the new recruit beside him. He looked like a greenhorn, and it was clear at a glance that he had just been recruited from the uprising workers' armed forces.
Indeed, the situation was urgent, and the higher-ups had given a direct order. After all, they had broken through the enemy's defenses.
"Listen up, kid, when you get off the bus, hurry up and follow my steps. Then fire in the direction everyone's firing. Protect yourself and survive, understand?"
The recruits nodded. Suddenly, the lead vehicle roared to life, and a shell struck the lead T-72B3, igniting a raging fire. Smoke billowed from the lead vehicle, and the entire convoy began to rush down into the field, with coaxial machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns opening fire simultaneously.
"Enemy forces ahead! Enemy M48 tanks! Spread out! Infantry dismount!"
The sergeant nimbly jumped to the ground, and in one fell swoop, the entire platoon followed him and scattered into the nearby woods. An M113 armored vehicle was hit by an anti-tank gun in front of the recruits and turned into a fireball. A soldier's half-body fell to the ground.
"Stop looking around! All of you, come here!"
The sergeant caught sight of the opposite position, built on a slope, where two M48A1 tanks and an M113 armored vehicle were launching a counter-attack.
"Bazooka!"
"it is good!"
"emission!"
The RPG-7V2 was set up, and smoke immediately billowed out. Every time the rocket hit its target, it was met with concentrated fire from the enemy's machine guns. The sergeant cursed and used an armored vehicle as cover.
"Listen up, Els! Take your platoon and attack our right flank! Provide cover for us!"
"Roger! Everyone in C platoon, follow me!"
The recruit followed his squad leader, one step at a time, holding onto his M1A helmet. The platoon leader ordered the M60 machine gun to be put away. This Colombian copy of the MG3 was despised by most Colombian soldiers, including him. He would have preferred to be issued an old-fashioned American-made MG3 machine gun.
"Covering fire!"
The tank column in front began its assault on the enemy position. The lead T-72B3 was still mobile and destroyed an old anti-tank gun mixed in with the machine gun positions with a single shot. It then destroyed several machine gun positions. The two tanks behind it followed closely and destroyed the M48A1 tanks that launched a counterattack. The M48A1 tanks, whose ammunition racks exploded, spewed out raging flames and burst into a violent explosion, with the turret flying off.
"Advance! Advance!"
The sergeant led his platoon to the flank and advanced towards the enemy. His M4 was aimed at the enemy in front of him, and he fired. The California Army's M177 automatic rifles also returned fire, interspersed with the sounds of M14s and M16s.
"Throw the grenade!"
With a loud bang, a paratrooper crater was cleared. Immediately afterwards, the sergeant and the squad leader jumped in, pulling the new recruits next to them into the crater as well. Behind them, the machine gunner lay on the ground, continuously firing his M60 machine gun.
"Increase firepower!"
The grenade launchers holding M79 grenade launchers are in the rear. These handheld, folding grenade launchers can hit targets at a distance of about 100 meters, causing considerable area damage. They can even penetrate the M113 armored vehicles currently in service when firing armor-piercing grenades.
Bullets were flying everywhere, one even grazing the sergeant's shoulder. The new recruits lay prone on the ground, their rifles already covered in dirt. At this moment, they couldn't bother aiming. There were many soldiers holding M14s, but the number of times they fired and their effectiveness were not as great as those soldiers who had already taken up small-caliber automatic rifles.
The entire armored company had already entered the position, engaging in close combat, with tanks rolling forward and machine gunners on the M113 armored vehicles firing continuously.
"Reporting to division headquarters, this is the 2nd Company! Our unit has captured enemy positions on Highway 102!"
The gunfire gradually subsided. The new recruit sat on the ground, holding his rifle. He looked at the corpses on the ground—enemy soldiers, his own men, all sorts of bodies.
"Kid, have some water. We still have to fight after the reinforcements from the division headquarters arrive. Take a break now."
The new recruit looked at his squad leader and asked curiously, "Squad leader, where are you from?"
"Star City".
The class monitor paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Isn't that a great place? I've heard the skyscrapers there are taller than mountains, and the place is incredibly wealthy..."
"Yes, it's a great place, an incredible city."
"But why?"
"It's nothing, it's just because of Comrade Alice's orders."
The squad leader is one of the many members of the Star City Defense Department. He served as an American soldier in the Western Army at a very young age, and later, by chance, he entered the Secret Intelligence Bureau and then joined the Star City Defense Department.
"That Alice, can she really send you across the ocean with just a single order?"
The recruit asked, and the squad leader looked at him, tilting his head back: "It wasn't her orders that made us cross the ocean, but—she said she wanted to turn all places into wonderful places like Star City, so that's why we came."
As a member of the Stellar City Defense Department, the squad leader knew that the core of the Orcas system had already been implemented in Montana City. If such a management system, which could coordinate all forces, were activated, Montana City would soon become the next Stellar City.
While its management system is what everyone talks about most, its production and construction management system is equally impressive, and its intelligent construction equipment is the core of Qunxing City's construction.
“Listen, kid, our mission is to make the world a world without exploitation and oppression. Comrade Alice said that it’s not just about making the poor no longer oppressed, but about making it a world without poor people. At that time, fertile land, factories, mines, everything can be produced by itself, and we humans will only need to create.”
