A good pair of shoes is very important for military personnel.

In the army of this era, only Nyasaland used integrated military boots, which can provide maximum protection for the ankle, and other countries, including the United Kingdom, also use split military boots, which do not actually protect the ankle area.

The military industry in Nyasaland is very developed, the Johannesburg textile mill provides a wide range of furs and fabrics for Nyasaland, and Ida has established the largest equipment factory in southern Africa in Port Edward, which not only supplies all kinds of military equipment to the northern division of Rhodesia, but also produces military products to meet the needs of the whole society.

The military status in Nyasaland is relatively high, so military supplies are quite sought-after, and an ordinary jacket with a decorative belt at the waist and a decorative brochure on the shoulder will immediately trigger a rush to buy.

Compared with the first generation of military boots, the cowhide upper of the third-generation military boots is lined inside, the toe part is also equipped with steel plates, and the body part of the shoe part is also increased with ventilation holes, such a pair of military boots is sold at the Little Rock Military Service Club for nine pounds.

As a first-class soldier and a first-class marksman, Tang Yi won a ranking in the army's competition, and his salary was only five pounds a month.

Of course, the Tang people don't have to pay for military boots to wear, and the Northern Rhodesia Division will distribute four pairs of military boots to all soldiers every year, which is a unique benefit of the Northern Rhodesia Division, and the new First Cavalry Division does not have it.

Chen Ling keenly noticed that the military boots of the Tang ethnic group seemed to be a little worn, not like they had just been distributed.

"Definitely not, I gave my son the military boots I just issued, we can wear anything." The Tang did not hide that this was normal in the Northern Rhodesia Division, and each soldier in the Northern Rhodesia Division had one set of ceremonial uniforms, two sets of regular uniforms, four sets of training uniforms, two pairs of leather shoes, and four pairs of combat boots every year, which could not be worn at all.

"Then be careful not to let the second lieutenant know, or you will have to clean the toilet-" Chen Ling kindly reminded that this kind of behavior of the Tang people was not allowed in the Northern Rhodesia Division in principle, but when it came to the actual implementation, most of the officers turned a blind eye, and no one was serious about this issue.

After all, it is not a matter of principle, if it involves the training of troops, or military supplies such as weapons and ammunition, the management of the northern Rhodesian division is also very strict, and anyone who violates discipline will be locked up at the least, and will be held accountable at the worst.

As for cleaning, it's not punishment at all, it's more of a spur.

"Hehe, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows-" Before Tang Yi's words fell, a platoon leader, Second Lieutenant Qiao Yingwu, jumped into the machine gun position of Chen Ling's group.

"How's the preparation?" Qiao Yingwu had just graduated from the Nyasaland Army Academy a month ago, and Qiao Yingwu was originally going to be transferred to serve in the Third Division of the Cape, but he thought that the war would suddenly break out, and Qiao Yingwu could not make it.

This is actually a good thing, if Qiao Yingwu survives this hurdle, then after arriving at the third division, Qiao Yingwu will be more reused, maybe one dime and one can directly become one dime and three, or two cents and one.

One Mao One is one bar and one star, which represents a second lieutenant in the military rank system just established by the federal government, one Mao three is a captain, and two Mao one is a major with two bars and one star.

At the rank of major, you can almost become a battalion commander.

"Ensign, get ready!" Chen Ling and Tang Americans spoke in unison, because they were in the battlefield, Chen Ling and Tang Americans used battlefield military salutes.

The military salute of the federal government is the same as that of the PLA in Nyasaland.

The battlefield salute is to guard against the enemy's accurate marksman, and only raise his hand to the chest position when saluting, so that the enemy's accurate shooter cannot distinguish who is the officer, and cannot accurately roll call.

In fact, in the current establishment of European countries, accurate shooters are not taken seriously, so this regulation in Nyasaland seems too advanced.

However, many of Nyasaland's regulations are based on summing up lessons and lessons learned in actual exercises, so naturally it is necessary for him, and when it comes to the battlefield, no matter whether the enemy's precision shooters will name the officers in Nyasaland, the accurate shooters in Nyasaland will certainly not be polite anyway.

"Put your hands down, you want to kill me-" Qiao Yingwu subconsciously had a dodging move, in the internal confrontation of the northern Rhodesia division before, because the commander of the first regiment was careless, he was discovered by the accurate shooters of the second regiment, which led to a complete failure of the exercise.

It's all a lesson summed up in blood and tears, after that failure, from the commander of the first regiment down, all the officers of the first regiment cleaned the toilets for a week.

The whole army!

"Hehe, Master Qiao, the Germans haven't come yet-" Chen Ling and Tang Yi immediately relaxed, Chen Ling still wiped his machine gun, and Tang Yi was busy putting on his shoes.

Qiao Yingwu still noticed the Tang American's shoes, but he didn't speak, the military boots he wore on his own feet were also half-new, and it was estimated that the situation was similar to that of the Tang Americans.

"Your position is the forefront of our battalion's position, and when you start fighting later, you will be smart, you will fight if you can, and you will withdraw if you can't, remember the words of the lord, save the land and lose people, lose people and land, save people and lose land, and save people and land." Qiao Yingwu still couldn't help but worry, this was the first time that the assault regiment had really gone abroad, and there was a lot of pressure up and down.

"Don't worry, Master Qiao, we're ready." Tang Yi was heartless, patting the magazine next to him and laughing.

As the garrison of Little Rock, the assault regiment must be equipped with the most adequate logistics, Chen Pound's machine gun position, a light machine gun is equipped with fifteen 100-round magazines, and at the same time a whole box of defensive grenades, Tang Yi and another deputy shooter in addition to rifles, each equipped with a high-power pistol newly produced in Nyasaland, in terms of firepower alone, Chen Pound's machine gun group, the firepower strength can be equivalent to a platoon of the Tanganyika army.

Ten meters behind the position of the Tang machine gun group, there is a super revolver position, between the two positions is a foxhole of four first-class special shooters, the second squad on the left, and the position of the third squad on the right is exactly the same as the position of the first squadron, the position of the entire first battalion is so staggered and mutually supportive, the second division of Tanganyika does not pass through Fort Helmut, forget it, if the second division of Tanganyika collides head-on, it will definitely break its head and bleed.

Qiao Yingwu wanted to say a few words, but a hurried whistle suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

This was the signal for the discovery of German troops.

"After all the auxiliary troops withdraw to the position, all of them are ready for battle, we are about to engage the enemy, this is not a drill, repeat-" Qiao Yingwu immediately jumped up and urged all officers and soldiers to enter the combat state.

In fact, there was no need for Qiao Yingwu to remind him, as soon as the whistle sounded, all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion acted quickly.

Chen Liang still folded the oilcloth very carefully, put it in his leather bag, and then carried a light machine gun into the position.

The Don was also ready, the two spare barrels had been removed from the pouch, and the gloves had been put on, ready to change the barrels at any time.

Another deputy shooter, Pei Du, also moved quickly, fifteen full magazines were placed in the most convenient position, the grenade box had been opened, if the enemy approached the position within fifty meters, Pei Du and Tang Yi would use grenades to give Chen Liang the greatest protection.

"It's up to you, fight hard!" Qiao Yingwu admonished, patted Chen Ling's shoulder hard, and ran back along the trench with his waist.

This is not to flee from the battle, but to inspect other positions, Nyasaland military discipline is very strict, although nominally the land is lost, people and land are lost, people and land are lost, people and land are saved, but if the army is completely wiped out and the main officers are safe and sound, then the officers are also to be held accountable.

Chen Pound didn't speak, Pei Du had just installed the bullet box, and Chen Pound was loaded, from now on, this position with a radius of only two square meters is the medal of Chen Pound's group.

Or a cemetery.

The commander of the 2nd Tanganyika Division, August Donne, did not realize that a brutal battle was about to begin.

Feng Duxing is also experienced, and all kinds of conditions must be used to the extreme, since Mu Mu sent some of his subordinates to cooperate with the assault regiment to fight, then these subordinates of Mu Mu have to take on the task of luring the enemy, so the first to exchange fire with the second division of Tanganyika are the rebels of Fort Glory.

The rebels, although they have been trained for several months, are still different from the regular army.

Many of the rebels were still five or six hundred meters away from the German soldiers and could not wait to open fire, although the battle was very lively when the battle broke out, but in fact it did not have much impact on the 2nd Tanganyika Division.

"That's right, those damn Tertaras!" Deputy Division Commander Marshall Thomas put down the binoculars in his hand, the Fort Glory rebels now have their own flag, with yellow lines between blue, green and black, which looks very eye-catching.

"Stop, boys, kill them!" Auguste Dorn straightened his collar, put on his military cap, and whipped his horsewhip down the front seat.

August Dorn was also riding in a military car made in Nyasaland, but his dress was a bit magical, and he had already used the car, but he still couldn't throw away the horsewhip.

The sound of the whip whipping on the seat startled the lieutenant in the co-pilot.

The adjutant immediately jumped down, shouted to the heralds, and ordered the officers to begin organizing a counterattack.

The Germans were also too careless, they didn't take the Fort Glory rebels to heart at all, they didn't know the number of the Fort Glory rebels, and they didn't know the equipment of the Fort Glory rebels, so they rashly launched an attack.

The force of habit was strong, and the Germans really put on a crowd tactic, and the force put into the attack was almost a battalion.

Of course, because of the establishment of the Tanganyika Servant Army, a battalion of the Tanganyika Second Division is only more than 300 people, so on a battlefield with a width of about 500 meters, 300 people is not a dense formation.

Three hundred people, for the first battalion, one person can't train one.
