Chapter 318: Sappers Build Bridges

Chen Xin stood at the top of the bridge of the all-steel test ship, and in front of him was a large desktop telescope temporarily erected by the adjutant.

Chen Xin looked at a tiger ben on the shore in the distance and split the neck of the Jin soldier who was hedged against him with a knife, and then calmly packed up the loot, and couldn't help smacking his lips and said, "It's really enough, but unfortunately, if it is made into a movie, it is destined to fail the trial." ”

The adjutants around him stood on their sides, pretending not to hear Chen Xin's "nonsense".

Chen Xin ignored them either, and continued to chatter, "I really miss the days of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and now, when the status has been raised to this level, it is impossible to go to the front line to charge into battle, it's a pity, there is no famous general like me in the world, and history will definitely be much inferior." ”

After babbling nonsense for a while, Chen Xin took his eyes off the tiger ben who had recovered the loot and moved to the landing site on the other side.

There, a battalion of engineers is hurrying to build an improvised dock to facilitate the docking of Kingdom transports.

First, not far away, a small ship powered by a small steam engine threw a plow, and dozens of sappers reached out to grab the rake to make it level with the shoreline.

Red flags were unfurled, the "start" flag was played, the steam engine was activated, the plough rake was dragged, and the ground was turned up in the direction of the ocean. The sea was instantly turbid, and a sea base about two or three meters wide in the shallow sea zone became much smoother.

During this time, the freshly unloaded boxes on the shore were pried open by the sappers with crowbars, and the steel bar prefabricated parts were taken out one by one, and then made into a structural frame with the fixation of connectors and screws.

At this time, the smooth work of the sea base is almost over, and these finished frames are moved to the smooth sea base one by one to make the final connection.

Finally, when a long, 40-meter-long frame was joined together, the sappers took a large number of thick wooden planks from the transport ship parked in the distance, and laid a whole layer on top of the frame.

Of course, these tasks are simple, but in fact, all kinds of repetitive work are quite time-consuming to do, and coupled with quality inspection and spot checks, it is even more time-consuming.

Chen Xin is very nostalgic for the military exercises of various countries that he has seen in later generations, and the speed and formation of the beach-rushing landing are simply heaven and earth compared to what the kingdom is doing now.

However, Chen Xin didn't indulge too much in this regard, after all, he couldn't be presumptuous, that was hundreds of years later, and now, how long has the kingdom been established.

During this interval, the Marine Corps continued to use small boats to transport groups of personnel to the shore to assist a Marine company that had gone ashore in advance to consolidate the beachhead.

By the time the temporary trestle bridge was erected, a battalion of marines had already arranged for an early warning post nearly a kilometer from the coastline.

Since the elimination of that group of Houjin scouts, no one from the Houjin side has appeared in the sight of the kingdom sentinels, and the Huaxia soldiers have not been too close to the surrounding area of Dalinghe City to fight the grass and snakes.

After the pier, the official landing operation began, this time, the speed of unloading and personnel ashore, is not comparable to the slow transfer of small boats, before, a battalion of marines plus an engineer company landed, it took a full seven hours.

However, since the official landing on the trestle, it took less than an hour to complete the loading and unloading of all the personnel and materials of a battalion.

"At Sentry No. 3, the disguise on the camouflage net is not placed carefully, let them do it all over again."

"Why hasn't the phone line at the forward post been opened? Hurry up and urge it, those things that are easy to go wrong, you must test them all today. ”

"Those soldiers over there, which battalion are they, are actually swaggering on the ridge, it's too unusual, but here has already entered the war zone, haven't they woken up, heralds, go, let them sober up."

"Over there, that infantry gun, why are the shells stacked so closely? Have you learned all the rules of battle in the dog's belly? ”

"The cavalry of each battalion that went ashore were all pulled out separately to form a temporary rapid reaction force, which took turns to be ready for combat and ready to attack and intercept Houjin scouts at any time."

"All transport ships that have been unloaded must be inspected again, and there is nothing missing, and after the inspection is completed, arrangements will be made to return to China to pull the next batch of supplies."

"Order the transport ships to enter the site in turn according to their respective numbers to unload personnel and equipment, and the warships will spread out in all directions and anchor 3 kilometers from the coastline to cover the landing of our personnel on the transport ships."

Before it got dark, there were already nearly 4,000 Chinese soldiers on the east bank of the Daling River estuary.

With so many people, eating, drinking, and lazing, plus all kinds of combat equipment, as well as a large number of military dogs, war horses, and military cats scurrying around the camp from time to time, it is really lively.

Because there is a "After going ashore, no open flames are allowed, and beware of fireworks that expose the target." The 4000 fighters could only temporarily make do with the fresh water and military dry rations that had been replenished on the warship.

However, people can make do with it, but war horses can't make do with it, fortunately, the logistics department has long prepared fast forage for the heroes of these kingdoms, and after joining the private work saved by the warriors, such as sugar, sweets, snacks and the like, it is not too bad, at least, it is better than the food of the soldiers who gave up their own sweet rations.

Military dogs are much better than war horses, these in the vigilance, combat, search, capture and other actions, greatly increased the efficiency and safety of the kingdom soldiers, just like the same treatment as the soldiers, people eat whatever they eat, these dogs are never picky eaters.

In addition, there are also those military cats and boat cats that seem to be pampered on weekdays, and they are actually better than military dogs to feed in this mainland area where there are many wild animals.

As these ghostly and silent little warriors appeared and disappeared from time to time, the camp could smell the smell of blood from time to time.

Many soldiers smelled it, but looking at the indifferent appearance of their military dogs, most people thought that they had smelled it wrong.

However, as they chatted, everyone teased each other that there was something wrong with their sense of smell, and everyone knew that something was wrong, and many soldiers in the camp hurriedly grabbed muskets and sabers, and rushed to the place where the smell of blood came from under the leadership of their respective commanders.

The curtain of a large tent was violently opened, and the door was blocked by thickened shields on both sides, and more than a dozen black gun barrels stretched out from behind, and the muzzles of the guns searched quickly.

However, in an instant, the muzzle of the gun did not move.
