My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 181 Heavy Machine Gun!

"General."

"I have an idea!"

Just when Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were planning to establish semi-fixed air defense positions at key nodes.

Beiping,

Major General Junmasa Ghana also submitted suggestions to Shun Tada:

"Immediately concentrate aviation power and continue bombing the Taiyue Mountains."

"Focus on bombing their roads, bridges, warehouses, and material transport teams."

"Concentrate your strength and continue bombing the Taiyue Mountains?"

Tada Shun frowned.

It's not that he doesn't want to bomb.

Although the total strength of the North China Front Army exceeds more than 300,000, which is second only to the Kwantung Army in size, the Army's aviation power is not strong, and the total number of combat aircraft is only more than 200.

There are only about seventy aircraft that can be dispatched to bomb the Taiyue base area.

The main aviation force of the Locust Army is concentrated in the south, used to put pressure on mountain cities to solve the frontal battlefield.

Moreover, the North China Front's aviation combat supplies are also very scarce.

Even though the base camp has strengthened the supply of materials to him, a large number of scattered warehouses have been built on Tuba Road in Taiyue Mountain District. The targets are numerous and complex, and even if they want to bomb, they are still unable to do so.

"You should know that we currently do not have enough troops and materials to carry out bombing."

Shun Tada rejected the proposal:

"Moreover, the sources and transportation channels through which the Eighth Route Army obtained weapons and ammunition have not yet been investigated."

"General."

Junmasa Kanana handed a stack of photos to Shun Tada and added:

"This is the latest aerial reconnaissance photo."

Tada Shun took the photo and looked at it, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

The photo is very clear.

Several photos are from an overlooking perspective. The center of the perspective is several large mountains in the Taiyue Mountains. People can be vaguely seen coming and going at the bottom of the mountains, as if they are digging warehouses. Outside the mountains, there is a straight and wide road.

You can also see a large number of warehouses scattered around.

"This is··"

Tada Shun looked at Kana Junmasa.

"It seems to be the hangar on Tubal Road."

Garner replied:

"According to currently known intelligence, the enemy's transport aircraft is slightly larger than our main fighter jets."

"Based on the size of the cave in the photo, it is very likely that it is an enemy hangar. The road is the take-off runway. It is speculated that the engine horsepower of the enemy aircraft must be very powerful, otherwise it would not be able to take off from the road."

"I see."

Tada Shun nodded suddenly.

No wonder the enemy's transport plane was never found at the airport. It turned out that it took off via the road.

He continued to ask:

"Can bombing be effective?"

Judging from the photos, the excavations are located on the mountainside or at the bottom of the mountain. Logically speaking, the bombing effect will be very poor in this kind of terrain.

"If enemy hangars are built, the bombing effect will be poor."

Ghana Shunzheng emphasized his tone:

"But it is being built now, or has just been built. They generally use civil structures without sufficient support. The hangar structure is imperfect. If a heavy bomb is used for bombing, it should be able to destroy the hangar and even cause internal collapse."

"Heavy bomb."

Jun Tada's eyes twitched.

Heavy aerial bombs refer to aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms and above.

At present, the North China Front has not only a very small number of such high-yield aerial bombs, but also a very small number of bombers that can carry such aerial bombs.

"How many waves will it take to destroy?"

he continued to ask.

The aircraft hangar on Tubal Road is indeed an important target.

The reason why Miyano Michichi was crushed was that it had such a huge impact, which greatly worsened the security in North China and even caused the military morale of the grassroots Locust Army to waver.

The core reason is those Xinhua Newspapers that are posted everywhere.

The reason why the locust army was unable to block Xinhua News Agency was because of the transport planes on Tubal Road that could fly at night.

As long as the planes on Tubal Road can be destroyed...

It is acceptable to pay for some heavy bombs.

"About a hundred sorties."

Ghana's shunzheng tone was hesitant:

"It will not exceed 150 sorties. Using low-altitude bombing can improve accuracy."

"They currently have no anti-aircraft weapons."

In complex mountainous areas and deep mountain cave dwellings, the bombing effect is actually very poor.

The reason why he pushed so hard for the bombing.

It is because of the technologies developed by the Eighth Route Army during this period - precise navigation at night, long-distance ultra-small volume short-wave voice calls, and light ultra-long-range mortars.

He is a major general of Army Aviation.

But also a technical officer.

He studied in Germany, learned and introduced advanced foreign aviation technology, and participated in the development of domestic aircraft.

He could sense that the advanced technology hidden behind these things was probably far beyond the empire's expectations.

But he couldn't explain these. After all, these were just perceptions he gained from seizing Tubalu weapons and some scattered technical information, not to mention that there was no detailed evidence.

He is just a major general, a man of few words.

Let’s start with the transport aircraft. It’s estimated that fighter jets will come out soon, and they will be very advanced fighter jets.

In air combat, the advantages brought by advanced equipment are decisive.

The Eighth Route Army cannot be given time to develop.

"Heavy bomb."

"I need to apply to the base camp."

Tada Shun gritted his teeth.

He was going to do it even if it cost him all his money.

···

"This heavy machine gun!" Zhi Zishan.

A mountain peak on the road between Yangcun, where the Independent Regiment is stationed, and Liao County.

A reinforced platoon of the Independent Regiment and an entire main battalion of the New Regiment are stationed here. There is even a specially equipped reinforced artillery company equipped with long-range 82 mortars, equipped with two 120 heavy guns.

Because here is the largest, longest and most important bridge on this highway.

In addition, it is very close to the Japanese-controlled area.

Sufficient troops and firepower are needed to ensure smooth routes.

at this time,

Platoon leader Ma Rongshun.

Yes, it was Ma Rongshun who was stationed at Xiaozhizi Mountain, the fastest-promoted recruit in the independent regiment.

After joining the army for one year, he participated in 23 actual combats, large and small, and was confirmed to have killed seven Japs, including a Japs squad leader, and five suspected Japs, including a deputy squadron leader.

Ma Rongshun is now the platoon leader of the second platoon of the second company of the third battalion.

At this time, he looked at a huge heavy machine gun in front of him and couldn't help but swallow his throat.

Yesterday, the regimental staff received a telegram to issue heavy machine guns to the reinforced platoon under his command, and ordered their platoon to explore tactics and submit a tactical report within two weeks.

At first, Ma Rongshun was not happy about the news and even resisted it.

Reporting is simple.

Speaking of which, Ma Rongshun also felt strange.

He joined the army for one year and participated in cultural studies for one year. At the beginning, he was very painful in cultural studies, but after the arrival of those mysterious instructors, his cultural knowledge level improved sharply.

Writing a combat report is easy.

The reason for resisting

It was because of twenty-three actual combats, starting to command a reinforced platoon, and experiencing military and cultural training from those mysterious instructors, that Ma Rongshun had his own understanding of war.

It is undeniable.

The heavy machine gun is a good thing.

Benefiting from the high stability brought by the tripod, as well as the excellent ballistics and cooling capacity of the heavy barrel, when using the same type of bullets, the range of the heavy machine gun is almost doubled and the accuracy is higher than that of the light machine gun. In addition, The ammunition supply method of the bullet belt has a strong continuous shooting ability.

The fire suppression capability is more than one level better than that of a light machine gun.

Of course, except for the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, this thing is useless except for its high accuracy. Even the effective range is only a pitiful 800 meters.

But the shortcomings are also very obvious.

It is heavy and bulky, has obvious targets, and has poor maneuverability, making it difficult to follow the troops and maneuver quickly.

Even though it has a long range, comparable to the old 60mm mortar, its straight trajectory is difficult to hide and will be quickly discovered by the enemy. Unlike mortars, which can hide behind bunkers and fire.

Facing the Japanese, it almost only takes a few minutes for a grenade to greet them.

With the popularization of light machine guns in the army, there are abundant bullets, there are also a large number of 60 mortar equipment, and the main combat areas are in mountainous areas.

In Ma Rongshun's view, it is really unnecessary for the troops to equip heavy machine guns.

Could it be that the regiment headquarters has a different view than him?

When Ma Rongshun saw the actual heavy machine gun, his previous doubts suddenly disappeared.

The heavy machine gun in front of him was completely different from the heavy machine gun he expected.

"Twelve point seven millimeters."

"There are actually tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets!"

Looking at the numbers on the ammunition box, Ma Rongshun swallowed his throat.

Well known.

The larger the caliber, the more powerful it is.

The Mauser rifle bullet is 7.92. When used with special alloy armor-piercing bullets, it can directly penetrate the side armor of a Japanese armored truck at a distance of about meters.

It was a steel plate of more than six millimeters, and the Japanese even covered it with sandbags.

It's also alloy steel specially made by the Japanese.

So, the 12.7mm caliber tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet in front of you,

Ma Rongshun, who has studied cultural knowledge, remembers that the instructor said that tungsten alloy is one of the most suitable materials for conventional armor-piercing bullets because of its high hardness.

Wouldn't it be able to directly penetrate the frontal armor of the Japanese armored vehicle?

"Using tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles, it can penetrate 13mm vertical armor steel within 500 meters."

Looking at the data in the manual, Ma Rongshun muttered in his heart.

Five hundred meters penetrates 12mm vertical steel plate.

Even with the addition of sandbags, wouldn't it be easy to penetrate a Japanese armored vehicle at three to four hundred meters?

"The range is actually 1,800 meters."

"And equipped with a quadruple scope?"

"Good stuff."

"Good stuff!"

Just looking at the information made Ma Rongshun drool.

This is a real heavy machine gun.

In comparison, what are the Japanese's Ninety-two Styles?

It is simply an insult to the term heavy machine gun.

"Equipped with a dedicated anti-aircraft sight!"

"Can it defend against air attacks?"

"The effective shooting height is 800 meters?"

At the end of the page, Ma Rongshun groaned again, his expression suddenly clear.

He also wondered why the regiment asked him to think about heavy machine gun tactics.

Those were the heavy machine gun tactics. The instructor had taught them and he had learned them clearly. Why was he still trying to figure them out?

At most, appropriate adjustments can be made during the battle with the Japanese.

Flexible use.

It turns out that this thing can not only fight tanks, but also defend against enemy aircraft.

"Good stuff!"

Ma Rongshun's eyes lit up:

"I don't know how effective this thing is against Japanese infantry?"

Although this heavy machine gun, the regiment headquarters' intention is to fight tanks and defend against aircraft.

But Ma Rongshun still wants to use this to fight the Japanese infantry!

"Report."

At this moment, a soldier ran over and reported to Ma Rongshun:

"Jap scout found."
