Rise from the sword

Chapter 452 Zhang Dabiao's New Plan

"The 24-caliber Bofors cannon has a range of [-] kilometers."

"hey-hey···!"

After the meeting was over, the other two battalion commanders went to assign tasks. Only Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong were left in Gecun's temporary headquarters. Commander Li straightened his military cap and smiled sinisterly.

He already thought of the unbelievable horror when the devil was bombarded.

Before Zhang Dabiao could answer, Li Yunlong sighed suddenly:

"It seems that in future wars, advanced weapons and equipment will be one of the key factors that determine the outcome."

Recalling the past few years of doing business with Brother Chen, Li Yunlong was deeply moved.

The devil's equipment that was so envious before, now it seems that it is nothing more than that. In the world, it is really not good.

Tank armor is weak, and heavy machine guns and armor-piercing bullets can penetrate it, and the coordination of infantry and tanks is also a mess.The firepower of the infantry is weak, and there are a lot of problems with crooked or even crooked light machine guns. The 7.7-type heavy machine gun is even more weird. The 12.7 caliber is heavier than the [-] caliber machine gun.

The only outstanding equipment is the grenadier, but accuracy is a problem, and the requirements for elite veterans are high. Once the army expands, there will be big problems.

Today's independent regiment, even if it does not have aircraft and tanks, relies on the current troops and equipment. Li Yunlong is also confident that he will fight head-on with any second-line devil division regiment.

"really."

Zhang Dabiao nodded, deeply agreeing:
"The better and more advanced the weapons and equipment, the easier it is to fight. The tactics that can be used in combat missions are several times more, and the chances of winning are naturally greater."

"At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we bombed a devil's train ten times, but we might not succeed once. The bomb was too easy to be found, and it was troublesome to detonate. Now, with radio detonation, the special team can blow it up under the devil's nose. "

"It's just that the requirements for operators are high."

"Without a bit of cultural knowledge, good equipment is really useless."

Li Yunlong also nodded, deeply agreeing, and then changed the subject:
"Take your time and transfer some good seedlings from the regiment to Yansheng. I told him to increase the training of new gunners. Our artillery has to continue to expand. The more excellent artillery, the better, especially the barrel guns. Group, the more the better."

"Tell him, do more live ammunition training, use more devils to practice your hands, and I will replenish as many shells as he shoots."

"Also, let him pick out some elite guns."

"New cannons will come in a few months, with larger calibers, longer ranges, and higher requirements for gunners."

This time the big business was written clearly, as long as the independent regiment killed more than [-] devils, the ammunition consumed in the battle would be doubled.

What does double reimbursement mean?
That is, if the independent regiment fires one bullet, Brother Chen will reimburse two bullets. The same goes for the artillery shells. How could Li Yunlong let go of such a good opportunity?

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao nodded:

"Speaking of artillery, Commander..."

At this point, Zhang Dabiao winked suddenly:
"You've been working on cannon lately..."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to turn his face and deal with it, the metal communicator on his waist suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation.

after an hour.

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Fan who left, then looked at the list in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Brother Chen came to deliver the goods this time. For the next tank business, he consumed all the quota of weapons and ammunition and replaced them with bullets and shells, ready to show his strength.

But at the same time of receiving the goods, I got another surprise.

"He actually killed the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army again."

Looking at the list in the leader's hand, Zhang Dabiao raised his brows, bit the word 'again', and continued:

"And at this price, there are actually two master chefs..."

There is no need to say how important a master is. According to Zhang Wanhe, a master is comparable to a mechanized division of a European and American power. Now that the machinery factory, explosives factory, and headquarters arsenal in the base area can develop to such a degree, the role of the master Great credit.

"The two commanders of the Mongolian Army that were killed before were also lieutenant generals, which are more important than the position of chief of staff of the front army. They were only given to one master. Why are there two this time?"

Li Yunlong also didn't want to understand:
"And the supplies of food and ammunition are doubled."

But the two of them thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the reason.

"It seems."

Leader Li narrowed his eyes:
"In the future, special teams will be dispatched more and more, and the scope can no longer be limited to this small place in Shanxi."

"Correct."

Zhang Dabiao also squinted his eyes.

Every time the independent group did something on their own, without relying on Boss Chen's information, the price was very high afterwards.

Then the two spread out a map of the whole country, lying on the table, thinking about where to go to do things.

"Captain."

The two glanced around on the map, and Zhang Dabiao spoke first:
"It's not difficult for us to build a mine or something."

"no problem."

Li Yunlong has done a little research on technology recently, so he answered quickly.

"Then, let's go here."

Zhang Dabiao firmly pressed a point on the map with his finger:
"It is said that there are a few devil destroyers parked in Shanghai, right? Let's find a way to blow up these devil warships."

"Blow up a warship?"

Li Yunlong raised his tone slightly:

"It's not easy. Although the Japanese warships parked in the port near Shanghai are old-fashioned destroyers, the devils are very careful. People from the government have sent people to bomb them many times, but they have not succeeded, and the losses are not small."

Although Li Datuan looked down on people in the national government, especially some high-level people, he also admitted that there were a large number of people in the national government who were sincerely fighting against devils.

"If they can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it."

Zhang Dabiao raised his head confidently:

"We are different from the national government. They lack equipment, so they can only bring explosives close to the devil's warship. But we have master masters and a machinery factory, so we can tinker with special equipment."

"What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong asked directly.

Since Zhang Dabiao said so, it meant that he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

"I'm planning to···"

Zhang Dabiao began to describe his preliminary plan.

······
At noon that day, Zhang Dabiao, who had discussed the preliminary plan with the head of the regiment, came to the artillery camp.

"Yansheng."

Zhang Dabiao walked into the room directly, and said to Yan Sheng who was busy:
"How many new gunner training do you plan to form?"

Today's Yan Sheng is the company commander of the artillery company in name, but actually works as the commander of the artillery battalion. Zhang Dabiao has told the regimental commander many times that he agrees to form an artillery battalion, but the regimental commander has been hesitating.

As for the reason given, it is outrageous, the scale is not enough!And the timing is not right.

Yansheng hesitated for a while before asking:
"How much is our initial plan to expand the army?"

"Including the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, the total strength is 5000."

Zhang Dabiao answered directly.

"This time the gunner training, are the three regiments together?"

Yansheng continued to ask.

"Correct."

Zhang Dabiao continued to nod, and added:
"The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment will also send some soldiers to participate in artillery training."

"So···"

Yan Sheng let out a breath:

"Let's set the first batch at sixty guns! It happens that we have sixty Bofors cannons."

The Bofors Mountain Cannon was very light, and with a wave of his hand, Captain Li exchanged for sixty of them at once.

"Sixty gates."

Zhang Dabiao licked his lips, a little excited.

According to the plan, after the Devil's artillery is deployed, the Independent Regiment will launch a large-scale battle, the main purpose of which is to destroy the Devil's artillery, and through a feint attack on the ground, cover the Bofors Mountain Cannon and use extended-range bullets to bombard the Devil's artillery position.

Now the Independent Regiment has six Bofors Mountain guns, plus 66 newly formed, that is [-] barrel guns.

"Haha, okay, I'll make arrangements right away..."

Zhang Dabiao laughed out loud, his tone excited.

The thought of 66 artillery pieces firing at the same time made Zhang Dabiao tremble all over. He couldn't wait for this day to come.

·····
afternoon.

Li Yunlong drove three bungees to the independent regiment's ammunition depot located directly behind Zhao Jiayu.

After the base area was basically stabilized, Li Yunlong also changed his previous practice of finding a secret location to build ammunition depots, and directly built a large cave-style ammunition depot group behind Zhao Jiayu.

After all, the surrounding area of ​​Zhaojiayu can be said to be overcrowded, and there is no place to repair the secret ammunition depot.

"Captain."

As soon as I arrived at the ammunition depot, I saw Huang Baowang counting the newly imported ammunition.

After the establishment of the plan of the three regiments to cooperate to establish a base area, Huang Baowang changed from the captain of the transportation team to the person in charge of warehouse and logistics. The original mule and horse transportation team was in charge of the old Zhaotou.

"Give me the details, how much ammunition do we have in stock now?"

Li Yunlong asked.

In terms of equipment, he is very clear. At present, the main force of the three regiments and all of them have been replaced with new general-purpose machine guns, and the bottom of the mortar has also been completed. Compared with the barrel gun, the training of the mortar gun team is much simpler.

But in terms of ammunition, he only knows the overall amount, not the specifics.

"A total of two thousand tons of ammunition."

Huang Baowang rummaged through the list while talking.

"Two thousand tons, hahaha..."

Hearing this number, Captain Li felt a sense of happiness, just like when he was a child, the moment when his family's fields had a good harvest.

For shooting down the devil plane, killing the pilot, and killing the devil's technical units, brother Chen will give the weapon and ammunition quota, and the amount is quite a lot. Although after Zhao Jiayu, there are many independent regiment battles, but most of the battles, in the end, the bullets consumed Neither earned much.

In short, doing business with brother Chen is not a loss.

Even though a lot of weapons and equipment were exchanged, especially those huge anti-aircraft guns, there were more left over.

Before he knew it, he had saved such a huge fortune.

Huang Baowang began to say:
"In each warehouse, there are 600 million rounds of Mauser rifle ammunition, 500 million rounds of Mauser pistol ammunition, 20 grenades, 60 15 mortar shells, and 82 mortar shells..."

"Thirty thousand 120 mortar shells."

"The rest are anti-aircraft shells."

Hearing the end, Li Datuan suddenly felt that the taste of happiness disappeared.

"There are only 120 rounds of [-] mortar shells?"

Leader Li was a little dissatisfied.

In his vision, the 120mm mortar is the core firepower of the future independent regiment, and the tactics of the entire battalion are basically formulated around the 120mm mortar.

Thirty thousand rounds is not enough.

Counting the new recruits who have just joined the army, the total strength of the three regiments now exceeds 2, that is, a soldier only has 120 rounds of [-] mortar shells. How can this cure firepower phobia?
According to his idea, an army of 2 people will get [-] rounds!

"Captain, there are already quite a few."

Huang Baowang smiled wryly:
"Only these 500 rounds have a total weight of more than [-] tons, accounting for more than a quarter of the total ammunition."

"It seems."

"We have to take advantage of this business to earn more ammunition."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought:
"How to kill more than [-] devils as soon as possible?"

According to the tank business, after the independent regiment killed [-] devils, the ammunition consumed during the business was doubled.

·····
That night.

Fifteen kilometers ahead of Gecun.

forward position.

"Go and rest."

Xu Husheng, commander of the first battalion and company, came to change shifts with a platoon:

"Leave the position to us."

"Yes, Captain."

The platoon leader who was originally in charge led the team to leave.

Battalion, company and row of soldiers were very familiar with the position dug out by hand. The soldiers led by Xu Husheng entered the position smoothly, completed the deployment, and quietly lurked down.

There are a total of 170 people in a row, equipped with ten new general-purpose machine guns, thirty submachine guns, two 60mm mortars, and two large-caliber heavy machine guns.In the rear, there is an artillery position with three 82 mortars deployed.

No moon tonight.

It was nine o'clock.

Devil's No. [-] stronghold.

A devil squadron leader looked at his own squadron lined up in the open space and frowned.

The noisy squadron in front of him made him very uncomfortable.

Although the First Army is an army in name, its overall strategic position in the empire is very low. Naturally, the recruits it gets are all second-class soldiers. Some are old and weak.

It's only four or three years now, and the little devil is not at the end of his rope.

The newly transferred troops are basically supplementary troops, not organized troops, lacking officers, unable to fight alone, and seriously lacking training. Some people were even sent here after less than a month of training.

"Baga, stand at attention."

With a roar, the leader of the Devil Squadron took control of the situation.

"Tonight, the enemy you are going to face is very powerful. They are well-trained, battle-tested, and their firepower is far stronger than that of the imperial army."

Seeing that the crowd was quiet, the leader of the Devil Squadron spoke harshly.

Because of the lack of officers, the squadron leader was originally a squadron leader, but was temporarily promoted to squadron leader. The previous squadron of more than 30 people was suddenly expanded to a squadron of 170 people.

"Very powerful?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the recruits and devils below suddenly became noisy, and some people didn't believe it at all:
"Tuba Road is also very powerful?"

They were trained on the peninsula or in the country, and they naturally got a lot of news from the imperial propaganda department. The First Army they transferred this time was mainly to deal with the Tuba Road entrenched in the imperial occupied area.

Very weak.

"Remember, try to keep your body as low as possible. Once you encounter an enemy, immediately find a cover to hide, and then look for an opportunity to fight back."

Glancing at the unbelieving recruits, the Devil Squadron Leader looked indifferent.

He is too lazy to talk nonsense.

He is very clear that these idiots who have been brainwashed by the country, it is useless for him to say more. Only after these idiots see the reality and see the horror of the independent group will they wake up.

　It's over next month!

　　There are about 20 words left. At the end, there will not be so many similar routines.
