Super Chief

Chapter 539: checkpoint

   Northland in winter is actually very boring, well, this is for adults.

   But for children, no matter where they are, as long as there are enough friends, it is heaven.

   Especially after Shi Xiong showed them how to build an igloo with snow bricks, the bear kids wanted to live in that small igloo every day.

   This kind of igloo, where Inuit people have lived for thousands of years, was finally carried over by the stone bear shamelessly...

   In order to prevent the Grim Bear soldiers stationed on the front line from being too boring, Shi Xiong had the idea of ​​moving one and the other, and once again shamelessly moved the playing cards of later generations and the national quintessence mahjong of China.

  Because of poker and mahjong, and it’s okay to dig an ice hole on the big lake to catch fish, and go hunting in the dense forest outside, this winter suddenly seems to be less boring.

  Through the radio, Stone Bear knows about the Sault Ste. Marie-Detroit-Cleveland line of defense every day, but it's just a bit hard for the Grimous Soldiers who are doing relays.

Because Gedi Roy has not developed a more powerful radio station, the maximum effective transmission distance of the radio station used by the Grim Bear Army is only 200 kilometers. Although the radio wave can travel far, it can be used with As the distance increases, most of the radio waves are eventually received and become useless garbled. After testing, 200 kilometers is the current limit for effective radio transmission.

   Therefore, in order to ensure long-distance communication, a relay station must be added in the middle.

   This kind of relay station is an artificial relay station composed of a squad of about ten soldiers. On the route of the Grim Bear Army, such a squad would be dropped every about 180 kilometers. Then these ten people would build houses and defensive positions in the local area, and at the same time set up antennas to receive and transmit radio waves.

   These fighters have personnel who specialize in receiving and transmitting radios. Generally speaking, the fighters at the relay station are divided into three groups, with two people in each group, and they are on duty in turns.

   One of them is responsible for shaking the hand-cranked generator at regular intervals to power the radio station. The other person is responsible for receiving the signal. Once the signal is received, it will immediately be converted into text through the Morse code, and then the text will be converted into the Morse code for transmission, and finally the number of its own relay station will be added.

   There is no other way. Before the development of high-power long-distance radio communication equipment, the Grim Bear Army and the Cherokee could only communicate in this way. But even so, this communication method is currently the most advanced in the world!

   Because there is no table yet, each relay station is equipped with a large number of long incense. This kind of long incense with a length of sixty centimeters will take about half an hour to burn each incense stick. After burning two incense sticks, a generator and radio will be activated.

   The entire Grim Bear Army and the communications between Shangjing and other gathering places are relayed in this way.

   As for the other four people, in addition to the squad leader, they will also be divided into three groups, with one person in each group, responsible for guarding tasks. The squad leader is responsible for leading the entire team.

   Although there are not many soldiers in this squad, the weapons they are equipped with are very good. One such relay station would be equipped with two 55 mortars and five grenades, and each soldier would be equipped with a bear rifle, five grenades and other corresponding ammunition.

   Once a large-scale enemy attacked the relay station, 55 mortars would be used in the distance. After the enemy rushed into the range of the grenadier, it was bombed with the grenadier, and finally hit with a rifle and grenades.

   Although the soldiers at the relay station were equipped with weapons and ammunition according to this concept, in fact, 55 mortars were rarely used. This thing is more of a comforting effect.

   Of course, if the enemy is really unstoppable, then these fighters will run away.

   These warriors are selected warriors. Each warrior has excellent riding skills, so each warrior is equipped with a horse. Therefore, once the situation is really unstoppable, they will not wait to die stupidly.

However, this kind of sneak attack has never happened before. One is that these relay stations are mostly placed behind the main force of the Grim Bear army, and the other relay stations are not large in scale, and usually the relay stations are selected at high altitudes such as the top of the mountain. Construction, so it is not so easy to find a small relay station.

   When I was in the south before, the soldiers at the relay station could say anything, but this time they came to the north. If it weren’t for Stone Bear to tell them how to build the ground and how to keep warm, the soldiers at these relay stations would be really tough.

   But even so, this winter has brought misfortune to the soldiers who did not have a poorly prepared relay station.

   Fortunately, the distance between each relay station is only about 180 kilometers, and the relay stations are mostly built along navigable rivers, so the supply of the relay stations is still no problem. Even if the rivers in the north were frozen, the supply would have been replenished long ago.

   However, Shi Xiong was still worried about the soldiers at these relay stations. Therefore, when the weather appeared to be sunny for five or six consecutive days, Shi Xiong decided to lead a group of soldiers along the route built by the relay station.

   In this way, we can not only show condolences to the soldiers at the relay station, but also send them some supplies. Finally, after Shi Xiong intends to console these soldiers, he will go to the front line to visit the Grim Bear soldiers who are standing on the front line.

   Shixiong is a person who just walks away, so early that morning, the snow sledge convoy pulled by hundreds of dogs and hundreds of reindeer set off.

   This year is not like later generations. At this time, the living area of ​​the caribou will extend a lot to the south. At least there are many caribou in the Great Lakes region. These reindeer are all part of the collection of the Grim Bear Army West Route Army after they defeated the Chippewa, who tamed reindeer long ago.

   Dog sledges are loaded with supplies, and snow sledges pulled by reindeer are seated with people~lightnovelpub.net~ In this kind of weather, snow sledges are the most suitable means of transportation.

   The facts have also proved that Shixiong's choice is very correct.

   In the beginning, part of the guards had to follow their bosses, because as the guards, their main responsibility was to defend their chiefs and many high-level tribes.

They are so resolute that Shi Xiong has nothing to do. Although these loyal men will be resolutely ordered to execute it, but that will break their hearts after all, so Shi Xiong decided to let them taste the cold. The horror of the zone, let them taste the power of nature.

   So, the one thousand guards were properly packed, fully armed, and done all the protection they could do. They set off with their boss in the envy of the guards and generals who hadn't been selected.

   But they didn't even arrive for a long time when they set off, so they went back to the camp one by one with their heads down.

   Why, because they haven't even gone out for ten miles. The snow that is close to one meter thick is simply not something that a war horse can subdue. This war horse has long legs and height, but they don't have the wide hooves of reindeer that are suitable for walking on ice and snow. Therefore, when these war horses go down with one hoof, the snow will reach the horse's belly. In this case, let alone these horses running with people on their backs, people want to have to walk with their horses.

   How can I move forward?

   So, after tasting the terrifying power of nature, these soldiers of the Guards can only return to the camp obediently...
