Rise from the sword

Chapter 429 The germination of artillery!

The next morning.

Li Yunlong completed the daily team training, Zhao Gang completed the daily construction and production arrangement, and the two met at the regiment headquarters.

"How about that 'Wang Qing'?"

Leader Li still stared at the devils and spies in the regiment.

A senior ghost spy has fifteen ten-wheel heavy trucks. If two of them are caught, it will be thirty.

These ten-wheel heavy trucks are really good things.

The instruction manual states that the off-road load is 150 tons, but after testing, the actual load is far more than that. The [-]-horsepower diesel engine is full of power. Even on uneven dirt roads, there is no problem with a load of [-] tons. On the highway, you can run around with ten tons.

If you get all of them, you can pull more than 300 tons of goods at one time. If you replace them with rails, it will be close to five kilometers, and the speed is very fast. It is not a problem to run at a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour with a full load.

You can run back and forth from Zhengtai Railway in one day.

By the time····

Leader Li Da was a little impatient.

Under the guidance of the master, Shen Quan has initially mastered the driving skills of this large truck, and he can drive it all over the mountains. Now, while improving his skills, he trains other drivers by the way, and immerses himself in the attached information books, learning about maintenance, etc. technology.

"Ah··"

Mentioning this, Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing out loud:

"This devil is dedicated to his job now. He runs up and down the boot camp every day, pretending to search for spies. If I hadn't sent someone to watch him 24 hours a day, I might not be able to find his lies."

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "What did he do?"

"The night before yesterday, he sneaked into the security department for a few minutes and looked through the confidential information." Zhao Gang smiled.

"How many minutes?"

Leader Li frowned:
"What can you do in a few minutes? He stole the document?"

Another high-ranking ghost spy has not been found yet, and now Chief Li Datu doesn't want this Wang Qing to be exposed, otherwise he will startle the snake.

"No, this senior ghost spy is really different. He has a small spy camera, and he took some photos of the documents." Zhao Gang said.

"Oh, that's good."

Leader Li breathed a sigh of relief.

If the devil stole the document, it would be very difficult for him to do so. Just arrest it, startle it, don't arrest it, if the 'confidential' document is lost, it will not be searched very much, and it will also make the devil spies alert.

"Hahaha···"

Looking at Li Datuan's expression of worry and fear for the devil's spy, Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing.

"Just wait until the next devil is exposed."

Li Yunlong sighed.

This feeling of having to wait passively is really too bad.

"No way, our country was too chaotic before."

Zhao Gang also sighed.

The country has been in turmoil for decades, and it is almost impossible to trace the devil spies who have been lurking for more than ten years. We can only wait for the devil to be exposed, and then strengthen the secrecy policy.

Then, the two changed the subject.

"Now our regiment has enough artillery, enough shells, and enough big mules. It's time to level up the battalion below the 82 mortars." Li Yunlong said.

After fighting devils for so long, Li Yunlong realized more and more that cannons are the ones that improve the combat effectiveness of troops the most. The more cannons, the stronger the strength, the better the troops can fight. Whether it is large-caliber heavy machine guns or submachine guns, they are not as good as Cannons really improve the strength of troops.

"Correct."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

If the 82 mortars are distributed to the battalion, then the 60 mortars will be distributed to the company, which will greatly increase the logistical requirements.

Shells are not light. An 82 mortar shell weighs five kilograms, and a 60 mortar shell weighs 1.5 kilograms. The shells consumed in a battle are not a small amount. Even if there are big mules, the shells carried by the troops are very limited. A dedicated supply team is required to deliver the shells.

But now the base area with Zhao Jiayu as the core has taken shape, and the initial construction of the surrounding traffic lines has also been completed.

The smooth road has improved the transportation capacity of a single cart. Recently, many devil planes and devil pilots have been shot down. This not only brought a lot of shells to the independent regiment, but also many big mules, plus the big jeep and ten Wheel trucks greatly increased the troop transport capacity.

The big mules can be divided into a group to strengthen the transportation capacity of the frontline troops, and a special frontline transportation team can be formed.

"I plan to equip each infantry battalion with six 82 mortars. Each infantry company is equipped with three 60 mortars."

Li Yunlong exhaled fiercely:

"Then, strengthen the 120 heavy-duty guns of the second artillery company to twelve, and when the devil general is killed, the mountain artillery can be replaced, and the first artillery company will also be strengthened to twelve."

"Are there enough people?"

Zhao Gang pursed his lips, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Enough, the new gunners have already started training, and Yansheng also organized a gunner training class."

Li Yunlong chuckled.

At this moment, the metal communicator on Li Yunlong's waist rang.

"Monk."

Leader Li immediately raised his voice:

"Go call Huang Baowang and let him prepare the transport team."

······
The delivery speed was very fast, and there was no new weapon this time, but it still brought Li Yunlong a deep surprise.

"Shoot down seven..."

Looking at the list in their hands, Li Datuan and Zhao Gang were all moved.

In the Devils bombing a few days ago, the Independence Regiment shot down six Devils bombers on the spot, and another one crashed on the way back. Even the Devils pilot on it died on the spot. There are more than 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition supplies.

In addition, the bombardment of Niangziguan Railway Station also killed a senior engineer of the Devil, and obtained 150 tons of supplies, and the bombardment of the Pan County Barracks also had [-] tons of supplies.

The total amount of materials exceeds 1000 and two hundred tons.

"One thousand two hundred tons."

Looking at the list in his hand, Zhao Gang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The total amount of supplies has never been so rich.

"Actually, not many."

After doing business for so long, Li Datuan's vision has been opened: "A round of 120 mortar shells with packaging weighs 18 kilograms. In total, there are actually more than 6000 shells."

"That's true."

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, it was indeed the case.

The grain quota can be exchanged for fine grains, three times the inferior coarse grains, or cotton at a ratio of three to one.As for the amount of materials, it can be exchanged for weapons and ammunition, and can be exchanged for medicines. 1000 or two hundred tons is a lot.

But now there are nearly 7000 new recruits and active troops in the Independent Regiment, including anti-aircraft guns and mortars, and nearly [-] cannons of various types. The shells are heavy, and the division is not enough.

"So, let's step up and fight devils."

Li Yunlong chuckled, then changed the subject:
"It's this simple production line of potassium tungsten explosives. It's raining in time. With this thing, we can start explosives production in less than a month. By then. I'm not afraid that the devils won't come."

"It's really timely."

Zhao Gang's tone was meaningful.

When the topic came to this point, the two looked at each other, a strange flash of light flashed under their eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and the two changed the topic at the same time.

Li Yunlong said:
"Next, let's concentrate on building this factory. As for the workers, you, Mr. Zhao, are in charge. Set up the shelves as soon as possible. As for the raw materials, I will settle with the regiment department. We will try our best to start production within a month, no, within 20 days. .”

With the increase in the number of people and the large-scale construction of the base area, the number of talents in the independent regiment department is also growing. After this period of training, their ability to handle affairs is also very strong.

"it is good."

Zhao Gang nodded:
"However, is 20 days enough?"

"There is no problem with the workers. The production line needs about 5000 workers in total, but that is the maximum output. In fact, 2000 people can start work. Many people in the construction team are workers. With training, 2000 people can take half a month. It can be produced in time, but the raw materials may not be so fast."

Using grain directly as wages and paying daily income has attracted a large number of people to Zhaojiayu, and many former workers have also come. Coupled with the outstanding achievements of the Independence Group, many young patriotic intellectuals have come to defect.

This made Commissar Zhao, who is in charge of managing the construction brigade, have more than 5 people under his command, and there are many talented people who can be incorporated into the construction brigade.

The construction brigade was paid ten catties of food coupons a day, the same as ordinary soldiers in the independent regiment.

"It's simple."

Li Yunlong waved his hand:
"We don't have a way, but Zhang Wanhe does. Let him collect raw materials and ship them to us. Anyway, the explosives will be transported to the arsenal. We don't need so much here."

Having said that, Li Yunlong smiled:
"Don't underestimate Zhang Wanhe, an old man. The arsenal is well-run by him. Not only is there a production line for Bayi-style horse rifles, but there are also production lines for grenades and mortar shells."

"Our production line is designed to have a maximum output of [-] tons per day. It is estimated that the maximum output will be reached in half a year. By then, the production capacity over there will probably scare Yoshimoto Teichi to death..."

Li Yunlong is talking about the production line, not the workshop!
"Minister Zhang is really good."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

Although the logistics department has the help and support of the entire headquarters and even the border area, Zhang Wanhe's employment and management capabilities are indispensable to achieve this level.

"Next."

Head Li Da patted the table:
"Just to let the devil know that we have a gun parts processing factory and an explosives factory with an annual output of thousands of tons of explosives."

"Leave this to me."

Commissar Zhao took the words:

"We still have a spy. We can't let him eat and live here for free every day. He has to do something."

"Hahaha···"

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

·····
Taiyuan.

airport.

"Commander, the general ordered us to stop bombing the Independence Regiment."

"Hi, I see."

Hearing the order delivered by the staff officer, the head of the Flying Brigade of the First Army breathed a sigh of relief.

170 air-to-air firepower, concentrated or bombed the target, dived or bombed at low altitude, and continued to bomb, even if there were [-] bombers to replenish after a while, it would not last for a few days.

Seven planes and seven pilots had been lost the day before. Fortunately, the Independent Regiment did not have an air force, so he did not send a machine gunner in the back seat to go up, otherwise there would be more pieces of jade, and he would feel distressed to death.

Some rear-seat machine gunners can become pilots with a little training and can perform tasks.

After the staff officer left, a staff officer from his brigade came in again:

"Boss, the domestic supplementary pilots have arrived."

"Oh?"

The captain's eyes lit up:
"How many people and how long is the flight?"

"70 people."

The number of staff officers answered made the captain almost laugh. The current situation is that it is easy to replenish the aircraft. After all, the First Army is an army. The domestic aircraft production capacity is actually not low, thousands of aircraft per year.The slow replenishment is due to the priority of the navy and the fact that Taiyuan Airport has been bombarded many times, which is just intentional.

With seventy pilots, he didn't have to worry about pilots for a long time.

But immediately after the last sentence, the team leader started scolding directly.

The staff officer paused for a moment before continuing:

"The longest is one hundred hours, the shortest is forty hours."

"Nani? Baga!"

The captain yelled loudly.

The flying time of a new pilot refers to the flying time of a biplane trainer and a glider. One hundred hours. This time is not even considered a rookie. What can you do?

And, it's the longest!

　There will be two updates tomorrow, but both at night.
