After obtaining the consent of Colonel Capes, Weiss sent a telegram to Jose, asking him to send him a special person to send two 1.4PIR-caliber A-type guns and 20 air ammunitions to the Baston student body. He also submitted a special transportation application to the Federal Military Technology and Security Department in the name of battlefield tests, and applied for 20,000 1.4PIR-caliber rifle bullets equipped for new sniper rifles from the military.

This new sniper rifle designed and manufactured based on the Mosin-Nagan rifle was questioned at the beginning when it was distributed, but as time went by, federal officers and soldiers gradually realized its excellence. The training and exercise performance of the troops equipped with new sniper rifles has been significantly improved. The good reaction from the grassroots and the deterioration of the international situation has caused the Federal Army to add 40,000 orders to the Klumber Heisen family business in one go. This means that even if the three assembly lines run day and night, it will take more than a year to digest the order.

After the first batch of new sniper rifles were accepted, the federal military bid for 1.4PIR caliber rifle bullets. With its rich experience and first-class quality in the production of guns and ammunition, the Grumman Group easily won and received a military order of 40 million rounds. The guns and bullets were ordered at 1 to 1,000. In terms of traditional training and combat mode, this ratio is more than enough, but if measured by the standards of machine gun ammunition, this number is pitifully small. According to the standard of 3 new sniper rifles for each company, 50 units of each regiment, 20,000 units of training reserves and 30,000 units of combat reserves. All the bullets were piled together, which was not enough for two machine guns to shoot for a few hours.

On the 29th day of the federal war, two technicians from the Klumber Heisen family drove more than 2,000 miles and passed many checkpoints along the way to deliver the sample guns and accessories designated by Weiss to the Baston Student Group station located in the northern border.

When the officers and soldiers were curiously looking at the two guns, Weiss became interested in the Hassen four-wheel light truck that was delivered. He asked the two technicians carefully about the situation and learned that Hassen is a local enterprise in the Federal State of Lorraine. It was less than ten years old and is currently only well-known in the western part of the Federation. As for this small truck that left the factory three years ago, although there were some minor problems from time to time, overall, its reliability was much better than the old Cadiz. This long-distance trip, its stable operation ensured the delivery of goods in time. If we talk about the shortcomings, its nearly non-stop shock absorption performance really suffered a lot.

The guns and accessories arrived, but the military gulf only allocated 12,000 1.4PIR caliber bullets to the Baston student group. There were fewer ones, but it was better than nothing. After getting the bullet, Weiss asked two technicians to conduct a target shooting demonstration. The sound of the machine gun sounded, which attracted many officers and soldiers to watch. For this unprecedented new weapon, some people thought it was a battlefield killer, while others felt that the caliber was too small and it was difficult to become a weapon to dominate the battlefield.

No matter what others say, Weiss feels much more at ease with these two machine guns in his hand.

At this time, outside the city of Lonon, more than 800 miles away from the border line, the Ulster-Wessex coalition, which was besieged, fought a fierce battle with the Norman reinforcements. On the ground battlefield, the two sides were basically in the 50-50-5 performance. In the air battlefield, the coalition adopted a flexible response strategy and resolutely avoided head-on battles with the Norman fleet. There was no big loss in multiple exchanges of fire. As the battle progressed, the coalition's overall strength advantage began to emerge. The troops responsible for blocking the Norman reinforcements were rotated to rest and timely replenish reserve troops. On the Norman side, the troops on the front line had always been in those numbers, and there was basically no change in the middle. The combat reduction could only be replenished on the front line. As this continues, what chances of winning are the Normans?

However, on the 31st day after the federal war, the battlefield situation suddenly changed: a Norman army launched a joint air-ground attack on Lake Latakson, more than 200 miles south of Lonon City, and airborne behind enemy lines in a critical stage of the battle. After more than three hours, it broke the coalition defense line and then advanced all the way and reached the city of Rossey at dusk. This fierce Norman army did not attack Rossey, but bypassed the city defense positions of the defenders to attack Messport Airport. In Dalm, a town dozens of miles west of Messport, the coalition forces urgently dispatched the Federal 70th Infantry Division, the 45th Infantry Brigade of Wessex and the Northern Line Command of the Federal Army.

The 93rd Guard Division organized defenses. Although they tenaciously resisted the frontal attack of the Norman army, they were defeated by the enemy marine forces airborne before dawn. In this way, the Mesport Airport was exposed to the Norman army. The cruiser detachment of the 4th Fleet of the Federal Fleet did not evacuate quickly, but assisted friendly forces to resist the Norman attack by shelling enemy ground forces. As a result, they were attacked by the Norman fleet that was hiding its tracks with the help of clouds. In this fast-paced air battle, the Norman battleships won a big victory with their "devil bombs" and destroyed three federal cruisers at the cost of damage to just two warships.

In the early morning of the 33rd day of the Union's participation in the war, the flames of the Mesport Airport fell into the hands of the Normans again. In the southeast of Wessex, Mesport is a very important stronghold with a geographical location. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is only open to the southwest, as if it is a natural individual bunker. Norman ships based on this can easily attack the coalition forces operating in the southeast of Wessex, but the coalition ground forces are difficult to attack here in the form of night wars or guerrilla warfare. What's more, Mesport is located in the southeast of Loon City, less than 500 miles from the Ulster-Wessex border. If the Norman army continues to assault the border area with lightning fast attacks, hundreds of thousands of federal troops entering Wessex will be in a dangerous situation where the rear route is cut off...

From crossing Lataxon Lake to occupying Mesport Airport, the Norman army advanced more than 300 miles in three days, conquered multiple defense lines and strongholds of the coalition forces. In the fierce battles in Lataxon Lake and Dalm towns, the Norman army did not have the advantage in its military strength, but it quickly won like a sharp sword. When the news came, the Baston student group was deeply surprised from the top to the bottom. The teachers and students tried to interpret the "Norman Blitz" by using war chess deduction, but found that their understanding was far from reaching the level of their opponents.

In the next two days, the Norman army, which had penetrated into Mesport, seemed to have lost its momentum to move forward, but their long-distance raid on the southern wing of the front had stirred up the entire battlefield. The coalition was forced to give up the siege of the city of Loon. They tried to retreat in an orderly manner, but were violently counterattacked by the enemy in front of them, and the combat situation was very unfavorable.

After writing the diary of the 35th day of the war, Weiss let out a long sigh. War is different from exercises, and no one has the chance to "do it again". Until now, the new weapons and new tactics of the Norman Fleet are undoubtedly very eye-catching, and the several local blitzkrieg tactics of the Norman Army are also powerful weapons for the Normans to quickly open up the situation. After repeated thinking about the tactics and tactics of the Normans, Weiss couldn't help but think of the graduation discussion topic of the Dellefig Senior Staff College, "War Tomorrow", and Captain Gomi, who had a similar view as his hero. Is the two just a chance?

After the lights were turned off, Weis tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Finally, he fell asleep, but was awakened by a noisy sound. He listened with his ears, and the roar of artillery fire from afar could be vaguely heard in the distance between the messy voices.

The Normans came over? It doesn't make sense! The closest stronghold to the Norman army is Mesport. No matter how strong they are, they cannot cross more than 400 miles in a day or two - of course this is relative to the ground forces. If it is a flying fleet, what is a mere 400 miles?

Walking out of the battlefield barracks set up in the underground bunker, Weiss looked into the distance like everyone around him. In the northwest direction, the night sky was reflected in a colorful curtain by a ball of light, as if a symphony of light and shadow effects was staged. Standing outside, the rumbling roar became much clearer, it was the roar of artillery fire, the roar of battle, and the interweaving of fate...

"The Federal Fleet must win!"

Weiss heard someone nearby praying in a low voice. As a member of the Federation, he also wanted the Federation fleet to win, but from the huge contrast seen by his contact with the Federation and Norman soldiers, as well as the various performances between the Federation and Norman before and after this war, he was pessimistic about the current situation.

Soon, a leaping fire appeared in the night sky in the northwest, which seemed to be an injured and fired flying warship. As the leaping fire continued to increase, the federal officers and soldiers who were watching the scene were in an uproar.

"Our warship is retreating..." Someone told the truth in pain.

After a closer look, meteor-shaped objects flew past the sky from time to time, and explosions flashed constantly on the ground in the distance, which meant that the retreating federal warships were being pursued by the enemy. After a while, the defense zone finally sounded sharp whistles, and the officers shouted "Air Defense Guard" and called the soldiers into the battle position, ready to use the air defense weapons in the defense zone to shoot at any time.

At this time, although Weiss was not a formal officer, he served as the "Battery Deputy" position in the 1st Battle Battalion of the Baston Students' Corps. Once the battalion commander could not command the troops, he would automatically become the acting commander of the battalion. So after the combat alert order sounded, he rushed to the battalion headquarters as fast as possible.

In the battalion shelter, Major Boone Salgert stood at the lookout, holding a telescope to look at the night sky.

"It doesn't seem to be very good?" Weiss walked to the major.

"Yeah, indeed!" Major Salgert responded. After a few seconds, his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, a warship fell down!"

Weis hurriedly looked over and saw that the flying ships were just the size of beans and had a vague outline. After he returned to the battalion for a while, they were much closer and their visual outlines increased a lot. The warship Salgert mentioned was burning at the back of the hull, leaving a thick smoke mark where it flew past. It quickly landed to the ground with a heavy head and light tail. It seemed that it was in a bad condition.

"That's an Angulie-class armored ship!" the major suddenly said, "That's right, it's an Angulie-class armored ship!"
Chapter completed!
