168 The Way of Hospitality

"Assemble!" The officer, with his hands behind his back, dressed in a gray-green military uniform and wearing an M35 helmet, held his chin high as he watched his soldiers form a neat square formation in front of him.

"Check your equipment!" Not far away, a company commander loudly ordered all the soldiers who had gathered in the barracks.

Then, the rustling sounds began as all the soldiers bent down to check their equipment and all the gear they were required to carry with them at all times.

As required by the Great Tang Group, each soldier had to carry 90 rounds of ammunition. These rounds were divided between the ammo pouches on their ribs, the spare ammo pouch on their back, and their backpack.

Under one side of the ribs were three ammo pouches, each containing 10 rounds of ammunition, so the total ammunition carried under one side of the ribs was 30 rounds, and likewise on the other side, making for a total of 60 rounds on the front.
