Rise from the sword

Chapter 460 Everyone has new weapons!
Ping An County.

The sun was still scorching hot in early September, but Kazuki Yamamoto and Shinji Kosa, who controlled a brigade around Ping'an County, were at the gate of Ping'an County, braving the scorching sun, looking forward to it.

Because today, four Type 105 [-] cannons will arrive.

This is the true strength of the Imperial Army.

It is also the core of the plan, the imperial army of Ping'an County counterattacking the independent regiment.

However, the expressions of the two were not the same at this time. Yamamoto was full of anticipation, while Shinji Kozuo hid behind with a gloomy expression.

The Grand Master of the Great Japanese Empire vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The fierce battle with the Independence Regiment started in early July, and it has been more than two months now. During this period, a large number of imperial recruits were sent from far and wide to participate in the fierce battle. It was okay at the beginning, at least the recruits had to go through a month of training at least. Equipped with imperial standard light weapons, the unqualified ones are eliminated through actual combat, and the elite samurai survive in the end.

Although the loss is large, it is within an acceptable range.

Yamamoto's strengthening of Bushido comprehension, as well as spiritual encouragement such as awarding honors, coupled with good food, kept morale very good.

But recently, a large number of newly recruited recruits have suddenly come over. Some of these recruits have not even completed the most basic weapon training. The weapons they used were all the guns of the Republic of China that had been seized before. When these inferior soldiers participated in the fierce battle against Li Yunlong, their losses increased suddenly, which was only a lot more than before.

And it's still being sent in an endless stream.

In just two months, the number of Yusui has exceeded [-].

At this speed, Ping'an County may end up throwing in the lives of more than [-] Empire warriors, or even more, although they are all almost useless and inferior recruits, and they have trained a large number of elite troops capable of fighting.

The top management must also acquiesce.

The empire is seriously understrength and resources are also severely lacking.

With the help of actual combat, it is a good thing for the top management to eliminate unqualified recruits, quickly select elite soldiers who can fight from these almost unusable inferior recruits, and save manpower and material resources to train excellent soldiers.

Anyway, we only need to provide the most basic guns and ammunition and a few grenades. The food is enough for Ping An County, and there are very few seriously injured in this kind of battle.

But in the end, someone must be responsible for the imperial army with at least 1 jade fragments in Ping'an County.

And as the commander, he is naturally the best candidate...

Thinking of this, Shinji Kozuo let out a deep sigh.

No wonder, with so many generals in the First Army, no one came to command the battle. He was a mere chief officer who was appointed as the actual commander of Ping'an County, but no one objected.

No wonder, so far, none of the first army and the North China Front Army have a real fighting force.

It turned out to be this reason.

He was sure that if the training was successful in the end, someone would come to pick the peaches.

what can we do about it?

Shinji Kozuo was naturally unwilling to be used, and began to think about countermeasures in his heart.

At this time, a convoy appeared on the highway in the distance, which made Yamamoto heaved a sigh of relief. The roadside bombing method of the independent regiment was hard to defend against, which made him very nervous about the safety of the heavy artillery brigade.

I was afraid that someone would blow me up on the way.

"Jia Zuo-jun, the Independence Regiment Highway has been repaired for fifteen kilometers, and it is about to approach the No. [-] stronghold. Next, we should counterattack."

Although Yamamoto was capable enough, his poor EQ prevented him from understanding the twists and turns. Naturally, he didn't expect so much, but he just thought that the opposition was suppressed by General Gibbon.

"Hi."

Koza Shinji bowed his head and said yes.

"Hum..."

Yamamoto's tone was gloomy:

"The Type 105 3.7 cannon has a self-weight of 18 tons and a maximum range of [-] kilometers. This time we have four of them, and they have enough shells. One month later, four more will arrive, as well as more shells."

"I want to know how Li Yunlong will respond to the shelling of his base by long-range cannons."

Hearing this, Shinji Kozuo also had a flash of light in his eyes.

Li Yunlong is engaged in production and construction in the deep mountain area opposite Ping'an County. There are not only explosives factories, but also machinery factories, and a lot of factories. Because they are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, they cannot be bombed. Stability has a huge impact.

Although Yamamoto was the supreme commander, General Gibbon valued him, and his research was still in special operations, so it would not affect him, but he was different. With so many pieces of jade from the imperial army, he must end badly.

Now, he has no way out.

The only chance is to get enough record and get enough credit in the battle against Li Yunlong's base.

Although Li Yunlong's army is very strong, he has good men this time. After a while, a regiment from the Mongolian Army will arrive, and the strength is sufficient.Moreover, the imperial army has had other unexpected gains recently.

·····
the next day.

Independence Corps.

regiment.

The three regiment leaders Ding Kongli, Zhang Dabiao and other military cadres of the independent regiment were in a meeting. As for the political commissar, he was busy solving some problems in the development process of the base area, so he did not participate.

"Recently, the devils have sent to intersperse and infiltrate all recruits."

Zhang Dabiao spoke first:

"And these new devils are even worse than the previous ones. Some of them are equipped with captured weapons and equipment, but the quantity is very large. According to the news from the devil-occupied area, there are still a large number of devil recruits coming over in an endless stream."

"The little devil seems to regard us as a long-term training ground."

Zhang Dabiao naturally saw the devil's plan at a glance.

"Ha ha··"

Li Yunlong laughed immediately:
"Damn it, I have to thank you from now on, I don't know who gave this order, it's so fucking cooperative."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also laughed.

Because of these devils, in just over two months, the independent regiment has completed more than 105 goals, reached the second stage of this business, and unlocked the new [-] howitzer and the new front-line infantry support weapon.

Although it is not clear what type and data these two weapons are.

But is the weapon produced by Boss Chen any worse?

"Now in Pan County, Ping'an County, Yu County, and Heyuan County, a large number of devil recruits have come to fight in Ping'an County. This number obviously exceeds the devil's logistical supply capacity."

On the contrary, Kong Jie looked worried:

"With so many devils and people eating horse chews, the common people's lives may be difficult."

Once the little devil ran out of supplies, he would rob the common people, which made Kong Jie a little worried.

"Hahaha···"

Ding Wei answered Kong Jie's doubts:

"You don't have to worry about this, these recruits and devils have nothing to eat."

"Ok?"

Kong Jie was stunned, a little confused. Because there were several factories in the base area and passages leading to the outside, and a large number of fleeing civilians were admitted into the base area, he seldom came to the independent group.

"We have killed more than [-] devils, and completed the second quota."

Ding Wei's tone was a little gloomy:

"Now, for every devil killed, there are fifty tons of food and ten tons of fuel."

"The fuel is high-quality fuel. Diesel and gasoline can be chosen at will, excluding the weight of the iron drum. The food is all high-quality fine grain, and the ones killed before are counted. Not long ago, Boss Chen has delivered the food."

"There are 25 devils, which add up to 30 tons of grain. As you know, when Boss Chen gives a lot of grain, he also gives a tenth of canned meat or air-dried bacon. The price of this batch of grain is equivalent to the total amount More than 3 tons, plus more than [-] tons of meat that can be preserved for a long time."

"Now we can't hold the food in the warehouses with a lot of food."

"That's why the food control has been relaxed, so that a large amount of food can flow out."

Hearing what Ding Wei said, Kong Jie gasped:
"This idea is ruthless and insidious enough."

He can imagine what will happen after the food control is relaxed.

On the northwestern side of Shanxi, although the troops occupy almost all the mountainous areas, the devils are distributed along the railway traffic lines. The main traffic lines are all in the hands of the devils, and the main county towns are also in the hands of the devils.

That is to say, the overall business in Northwest Shanxi is under the control of devils, and through monopoly, the ultimate beneficiaries of the county are all devils.

The food left out will be enriched in the city, and a lot of it will go to the devils, or even most of it.

The devils also lack food, and it is very scarce. There is a quota of food collected every year, just to consume it for the garrison, and only a very small part will be transported back to the country.

Once the food is in hand, the biggest problem of the devils will be solved, and even the high-level devils will see the benefits. Knowing that the base of the independent regiment is a piece of fat, they will become even crazier, and they will continuously transport recruits from various places to participate in the battle. The fierce battle of the independent regiment.

But in any case, the independent regiment will never lose money. Anyway, a devil has more than 50 tons of food, and after killing [-] people, it will double.

Plus, this has other benefits.

The devils have a lot of good grain to start with, so they won't plunder the grain dug out of the common people's fields on a large scale, and even the devils will relax the control on population movement in the hope of obtaining a large amount of fine grain.

This will be beneficial for the common people to enter the base areas.

"Who came up with the idea?"

Kong Jie tooth acid.

Damn, he's fishing, not devils.

What a murderous plan.

"Political Commissar Zhao."

Li Yunlong raised his head and replied.

Hiss... Kong Jie took a breath in his heart. Sure enough, in terms of cruelty and cultural people, they are at most reckless men with knives, and they can only rush forward and chop people.

"Hey hey..."

Leader Li continued:

"Moreover, Lao Zhao also plans to release the fuel after a period of time, after the ammunition problem is completely resolved, and the artillery unit is trained."

"hiss···"

This time, Kong Jie sucked in that cold breath directly.

After killing [-] devils, the ammunition consumed will be reimbursed twice, and the ammunition problem will be completely solved.

At that time, a large amount of high-quality reinforced concrete can be obtained, and a large number of solid reinforced concrete fortifications can be built. New large-caliber long-range cannons will also be equipped. The artillery group that Li Yunlong is building can open its hands and feet to provide fire support.

With the support of more than 100 105 howitzers, the overall strength of their troops has increased several times.

And with the madness of devils towards fuel oil, it is simply...
"Cultural people, you're so fucking ruthless."

Kong Jie felt a shiver all over his body.

"Hey hey..."

After Li Yunlong laughed, he changed the subject:
"Even if it is slowly repaired, the main purpose is to train workers. The road has been built to a distance of only [-] kilometers from the road in Ping'an County, and only [-] kilometers from the Devil's No. [-] fortress."

"According to the intelligence of the lurking personnel in Ping'an County, the Devils arrived yesterday as a new reinforcement unit. This army has a lot of vehicles and four cannons. Although it is covered by the gun cover, it can be seen that the barrel is very long. It is probably the Devil's long-range cannon. .”

"I reckon that the little devils should launch a small-scale counterattack, destroy the road we built, and occupy the forward position to bombard our base area. We should also transfer some main forces to the front line to start preparations."

Ding and Kong nodded.

Devils train soldiers, and they also train soldiers.

With the company as a unit, a large number of recruits are sent to the front for training. After they are familiar with the battlefield, they are replaced by a batch, so that the front-line troops always have a large number of recruits, and the elite troops are stationed in the second-line positions.

"This matter will be discussed in detail later."

With that said, Li Yunlong took out two books, each with a huge picture of weapons on the cover:
"Let's take a look at this good thing first."

"This is what brother Chen sent over just now, a 35mm howitzer with a 105-caliber diameter and an 84mm recoilless gun."

"This is the new 105 howitzer?"

Ding Wei picked up the book with howitzers on the table, opened the cover, and read out the data on the first page:

"35 times the diameter of the 105mm towed howitzer, the towed weight is 2490 kg, the horizontal horizontal wedge semi-automatic breech, the maximum range of the standard grenade is 18 kilometers, the range of the bottom row of extended range is 21.2 kilometers, and the rate of fire is 6 to 8 rounds per minute."

"Good shot."

"Good shot."

The eyes of Ding Wei, Kong Jie and the others lit up immediately.

Ordinary grenades have a range of [-] kilometers, and the support range is large. It can almost penetrate the depth of a division of the Devils, and it has a longer range than most of the Devils' artillery, let alone the bottom row of extended-range ammunition.

Moreover, the weight of 160 tons is not heavy, the road is flat, two big mules can be easily towed and maneuvered, and the deployment of positions is far more convenient than the [-] mortars. How exciting should it be?

Ding Wei continued to read the next book:
"84 mm recoilless gun, weighing 16.8 kg, equipped with grenades, armor-piercing shells, grenades, and smoke grenades. When firing steel ball grenades, the effective range is 1300 meters. There are collision fuzes and air bomb fuzes."

"good stuff···"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up again:

"This thing, the perfect infantry direct firepower, just fills in the lack of 60 mortars."

Devils have grenades, but they have 60 small steel cannons, but mortars can't shoot directly, 60 is weak, and there is no threat to solid machine gun positions, etc. Calling 82 or 120 is a waste of time, now there is this good thing, the first line The combat effectiveness of infantry has improved linearly.
