Chapter 326 (2/2)
As for the protection of logistics troops, the stone bear has also made arrangements.
Although the rear service troops were in the rear during the war, this expedition was to go to the Kerry's territory for trouble after all. It was the Kerry's home field that occupied the advantage of geographical advantage. In case someone discovers the existence of logistics soldiers and sends a unit to attack them, they must be able to protect themselves.
There are more than 200 ox carts in the logistics force. In addition to various ammunition and grain supplies, each ox cart also has a defense equipment similar to shield wall specially made of thin steel plate.
This kind of equipment is connected with the ox cart, which is a kind of retractable equipment. Once the enemy appears around the logistic troops, the logistic soldiers will gather the ox carts together and surround the city one by one in small circles. All the cattle will rush inside and the ox carts will be outside. Then the logistic soldiers can pull out the thin steel plate installed at the bottom of the ox carts and then erect them.
This kind of steel sheet is very thin, only about two millimeters thick, but its area is much larger than that of the wooden shield carried by the guerrillas. The area of the whole sheet steel is almost the same as that of the chassis of the ox cart. It is two meters long and one and a half meters wide, and weighs nearly 50 kg.
Although this kind of ”steel shield” made of thin steel plate is not light in weight, this kind of weight is directly borne by the ox cart and has no burden on the soldiers. Moreover, once this kind of steel shield is erected at an angle of 45 degrees, it can cover almost all the bullock carts and drawn bison, and almost all the enemy's arrows.
As far as the bow and arrow used by the Indians are concerned, it is almost impossible to shoot through the two millimeter thick steel plate. Even if the enemy breaks through to the distance where the bone spear can be used, the bone spear thrown at close range is helpless with this kind of steel plate.
This is a serious steel plate, not to mention arrows and spears. Even if the Musketeers shoot at close range, the lead bullet can't break through the steel plate!
These steel plates are the main protective equipment of the logistics troops. As for the counterattack, that's the strong bow in the hands of 700 logistics soldiers.
Although these soldiers are only logistics soldiers, they are also very elite soldiers. After all, they are the elite soldiers carefully selected from the crooked ear tribe and the bone spear tribe. Although they can not be selected into the artillery and artillery, but their force is absolutely not to be underestimated.
These 700 logistics soldiers have killed people and seen blood. They were all elite soldiers in their own tribes. After stone bears equipped them with strong bows, steel knives and homemade grenades, these guys are actually a group of hedgehogs covered with thorns.
If anyone dares to belittle these logistics soldiers and wants to bite a piece of meat from them, he must be ready to be broken first!
Let's use a sentence that Dahe, the director of logistics, learned from Shi Xiong: don't use bean bags as dry food, don't use logistics soldiers as chicken
Even Dahe doesn't understand what is bean curd or chicken, but it doesn't affect the fact that this sentence has become a popular one among logistics soldiers.
In this way, a few days before the expedition, the whole expeditionary army had made all the preparations, waiting for the day of the expedition to come, and then they went to the Kerry's territory
