Chapter 1063: Chapter 1062, necessary camouflage
Translator: 549690339
There weren ‘t many things left on the battlefield because the death god mercenary group didn’t plan to resist for too long.
However, in order to make the necessary camouflage, they still had to leave behind some cheap weapons, ammunition, and supplies.
These messy supplies would give the enemy an illusion and make them more certain that the death god mercenary group was fleeing in a panic, which was why they abandoned a large number of weapons and ammunition.
If the position was cleaned up, the enemy might realize that this was a premeditated trap.
Of course, the materials used to create disguises were not very good.
For example, the bullets of the Akka rifle and the bullets of the same rifle might look similar on the surface, but in fact, there was a big difference.
This was the same as other ordinary goods. There were different manufacturers and different quality differences.
Although technology had developed to such an extent, there were still many small countries that did not have the ability to produce bullets.
Or it could be that the production technology was quite backward and the quality of the products was quite poor, even inferior to the arsenal of some countries in the last century.
In addition, there were a large number of outdated products on the arms market, as well as second-hand products.
Outdated products were easy to understand. Every country had a large number of weapons and ammunition reserves.
These reserves were often not used at all, but they had to be produced in sufficient quantities and stored in large quantities in warehouses.
This was because no one knew whether the war would suddenly break out at some point.
The amount of reserves was of course not used up. No matter how much target training was done, it would not be used up.
In the end, these unused ammunition stocks finally passed their expiration date. It was time for them to be scrapped.
The big countries would definitely not keep these expired products for use, because this ammunition was likely to fail.
However, the probability of them failing was very small. If hundreds or thousands of bullets were fired, there would always be a chance for them to fail.
If such a situation occurred once on the battlefield, it was very likely that a soldier’s life would be lost.
This was a low-level mistake that could not be tolerated for a military power.
Therefore, these expired ammunition had to be destroyed.
However, there were also those that were not destroyed. For example, the ERMAO and San Mao, who had inherited a large amount of military supplies from the federation, had long relied on selling ammunition to survive.
Those brand new and unopened ammunition and weapons were piled up in large quantities in the warehouse, and they were sold like cabbages.
As for whether they had expired or not, this was not something they cared about at all.
If the buyer felt that this item had expired and was not a qualified product, they also had a very good solution a discount would be enough.
There was no business in this world that could not be done. The reason why the business could not be negotiated was only a matter of price.
Therefore, these expired bullets appeared in large quantities in the arms market. Because they were cheap, they were unanimously praised by those small and poor countries.
On the battlefield in Damata, there was no need to be too surprised if the soldiers suddenly jammed after firing a few shots.
Even they themselves would not complain too much.
Even the world-class weapons and guns would sometimes jam, let alone these old weapons in their hands?
It was already considered pretty good that they could use expired products. Many of the pirates in Damata even used second -hand products.
Second-hand products were those reloaded bullets that were picked up from the battlefield. With the addition of the bullet and gunpowder primer, this was another bullet that could be used again.
As for the quality and reliability, they didn’t care about that as long as it was cheap.
Therefore, these second -hand bullets, expired bullets, and low-quality bullets produced by some small country’s arsenal were all flooding the battlefield.
Of course, the death god mercenary group would not use such fake and shoddy products. No matter how poor they were, no matter how frugal they were, they could not joke about their own lives.
Mercenaries were a business. In doing business, one had to consider the cost.
The cost that should be spent must be spent. Otherwise, the business would not be able to do well.
In fact, mercenaries did not understand the reason for this cost in any industry. They were also the industry that was most willing to spend money on their own equipment.
Every piece of their equipment was related to their own life and safety. This
was the most worthwhile investment.
Just like those night vision goggles, without these things, it was impossible for them to achieve such a great result in the previous battle.
The equipment and the loot, including a large portion of their contributions, could be converted into bonuses in Yu Tian’s hands.
With so many war bonuses and gains, the Grim Reaper regiment commander couldn’t care less about the inferior weapons and ammunition.
Previously, he wasn’t even interested in cleaning up the battlefield in the small fishing village. Now, he had thrown all kinds of weapons and ammunition all over the battlefield.
After throwing away the weapons and ammunition, the Grim Reaper regiment commander began to throw away the car.
Yu Tian could only helplessly dissuade him. Throwing away the weapons and ammunition was reasonable, but there was no need to throw away the car.
When it was time to run for their lives, who would not drive their cars.
There was no need to leave cars for the enemy, especially when the enemy was already short of cars.
The more cars there were, the easier it would be for the enemy to run for their lives. Leaving cars for them was equivalent to funding the enemy.
Hence, the death god mercenary group was busy for a while. They first evacuated the trucks that were transporting supplies, then left behind sufficient military vehicles and a few trucks that were purely used to transport soldiers.
After working for one or two hours, the death god mercenary group had already done most of the preparations.
What was left was the position that Mohammed had set up.
Their arrangement was actually simpler, mainly because the pirates were lazier.
Not to mention the blocking positions at the front, they felt that since it was a position that they had to flee for their lives, there was no need to do too much repair and tidying up.
The most important thing was to choose a suitable position for fleeing.
The position had to be difficult to climb up from the front, and then there had to be a road at the back that could be quickly evacuated.
Then, the hill behind had to be easily covered with bullets, preventing the enemy from using the hill to chase and kill the retreating soldiers.
In short, this was something that needed to be seriously considered and dealt with. It was something that needed to be done with one’s mind.
The scattered sand army’s pirates were mainly focused on thinking about how to choose a suitable position for escaping. They didn ‘t care about the defensive ability of the position at all.
Only in the rear position, which was personally supervised by Mohammed, did the scattered sand army’s pirates carefully build some fortifications.
This was the main position, an important battlefield to entangle the enemy.
In order to entangle the enemy, it was best to let the positions of both sides and the army cross each other.
It became the kind of chaotic state where you had me and I had you.
No matter who wanted to run, they would be bitten by the other side..
