Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 295 This weapon will be the nightmare of the Japanese devils!
Any good stuff?
Li Yunlong's face lit up with joy, and he asked hurriedly, "Brother Lin, what good stuff is this?"

Anything produced by Boss Lin must be a high-quality product. Since he says it is a good thing, it must be a good thing.

"You'll find out later."

Lin Feng smiled slightly and kept the question in suspense.

Although Mengxian Airport has been repaired, it has not yet been put into use. Facilities such as pilot dormitories, ammunition depots and control towers have not yet been completed.

Moreover, the Japanese reconnaissance planes would circle around almost every day. In order to avoid the reconnaissance of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, the construction of the airport was seriously slowed down.

But there is no problem in receiving the goods here.

A few minutes later, the sound of propellers "da da da" was heard in the sky, and Li Yunlong hurriedly raised his telescope to look.

He was already very familiar with this sound and knew that it was the unique sound of Boss Lin's giant helicopter.

When I first heard the sound, the giant helicopter was still very far away. Even with a telescope, it was difficult to see clearly what was hanging under the giant helicopter.

The sound became louder and louder, and the giant helicopter was getting closer and closer. Li Yunlong also gradually saw clearly what was hanging under the giant helicopter.

"Is this a tank?"

Li Yunlong's eyes gradually widened, his expression full of surprise, as he saw the tracks.

"That's right." Lin Feng nodded, "It's a tank."

Tanks were the king of land warfare in World War II, but they had high requirements for roads and were more suitable for large-scale troop operations, but not very suitable for the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the roads in the Jinzhong base area have almost been completed.

Moreover, the tactics of the Jinzhong base area have changed from guerrilla warfare to positional warfare.

It's also time to equip some land battle king tanks.

After receiving Lin Feng's affirmative answer, Li Yunlong's expression of surprise became even more intense.

He really didn't expect that there would be tanks in the delivery this time.

Beside Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Shoujin and others who came to receive the goods were also ecstatic.

The Eighth Route Army had weak anti-tank capabilities, and in order to destroy a Japanese tank on the battlefield, they sometimes had to sacrifice an entire company of soldiers.

The situation was reversed only after the Eighth Route Army was equipped with bazookas and 20mm machine guns.

If the Eighth Route Army were equipped with tanks on the battlefield, they would first use anti-tank weapons to destroy the Japanese tanks and then send tanks to counterattack.

Wouldn't it be great to catch the Japanese off guard?

Soon, 18 tanks landed safely. In addition to the tanks, there were also some large oil barrels, each of which was filled with fuel.

Lin Feng said, "Eighteen light Chaffee tanks. These are the goods you received from destroying Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in Songjia Village last time. You never mentioned receiving the goods, so this time, I will deliver them directly to you."

In the last ambush at Songjia Village, Li Yunlong led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army, blowing up dozens of vehicles, 77 armored vehicles and tanks of the 12th Regiment of the Japanese Army.

In addition, some Japanese drivers, armored soldiers and tank soldiers were killed.

One Japanese driver was worth two large trucks, and one armored team or one tank team was worth two tanks.

This means that killing one Japanese driver and one Doding truck is worth three large trucks.

Similarly, destroying a tank or armored vehicle plus an armored group or tank group is worth three tanks.

Earn blood.

The 39th Brigade was an elite brigade of the Japanese Army, equipped with some tanks and armored vehicles. However, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was inferior to the second-line divisions and was basically not equipped with tanks or armored vehicles.

However, this battle killed many small trucks and drivers of the 3rd Brigade, and the big trucks also made a lot of money.

The joy in Li Yunlong's eyes grew more intense: "I thought it would take some time before we could harvest the tanks, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. What a great thing."

He really thought that he could only get tanks later. After all, the New 1st Regiment had killed quite a few Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

When we launched a surprise attack on the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and the Japanese field gas battalion, we destroyed many Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

The prices for destroying the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were exchanged for mountain cannons and other weapons and ammunition.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and introduced: "This time you completely wiped out an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, so you can obtain tanks, but currently you have only obtained light tanks. If you can completely wipe out a Japanese brigade, you can obtain medium tanks. If you can continue to do so, and completely wipe out a Japanese division, you can obtain heavy tanks."

As he was speaking, Lin Feng brought Li Yunlong and others to the front of the tank and took a closer look.

Although the Chaffee tank is not large among tanks, it looks very powerful and has a unique violent beauty. The workmanship of this tank is obviously of world-class quality.

The US military only began developing the Chaffee tank in March 1943, and the first prototype was produced in October of that year.

It was only September 1938, and the Eighth Route Army was equipped with this thing in large quantities, so there was no need to worry about being in trouble.

Li Yunlong asked seriously, "What if our Jinzhong Military Region completely wipes out a Japanese army group, such as the First Army?"

Lin Feng answered seriously: "If we can completely wipe out a Japanese army group, we can get planes." Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. Japanese army units above the division level are called army groups, such as the First Army stationed in Shanxi, and above the army group are called fronts, such as the North China Front Army.

However, it was very difficult to completely wipe out the Japanese First Army, which had several divisions and independent mixed brigades with a total strength of about 10 troops. In addition, there were tens of thousands of puppet troops, and the main force of the North China Front Army was ready to provide support at any time.

This time, the complete annihilation of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade under the Japanese First Army almost emptied Li Yunlong's fortune, not to mention the complete annihilation of the Japanese First Army.

However, not all Japanese army groups had as many troops as the First Army.

For example, the Mongolian garrison had a relatively small number of troops, consisting of only one division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, totaling more than troops, stationed in Zhangjiakou.

Anyway, Brother Lin didn’t say that we have to destroy the First Army to get the plane.

The troops stationed in Mongolia are also a group army.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. It would be much easier to kill the Mongolian troops than to kill the First Army.

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing aside, had sharp eyes and asked with a smile: "Boss Lin, how about we kill the devil Tianhuang?"

Lin Feng said, "Then it's not about tanks and planes. Have you heard about Dongfeng Express and Miss Qiu?"

"Dongfeng Express, Miss Qiu?"

Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and other Eighth Route Army officers looked at each other in confusion.

"I don't know. I've never heard of it."

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and shook his head.

"That's right, you don't know." Lin Feng didn't explain too much. "You just need to know that the higher-ranking Japanese officer you kill, the better the rewards you get. If you can kill the Japanese's Sky Locust, the benefits will be so great that you can't even imagine."

Unimaginable?

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other and saw a look of great expectation in each other's eyes.

Li Yunlong said, "You can't become fat in one bite. You have to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. First kill Shinozuka Yoshio and Terauchi Hisaichi and then consider other things."

Then Lin Feng said goodbye and left. Li Yunlong tried to persuade him to go to the regiment headquarters for a drink, but Lin Feng declined, saying that he still had to arrange delivery to the 386th Brigade in southeastern Shanxi, and they would have a drink together after the delivery.

After seeing Boss Lin off, Li Yunlong rushed back to the airport.

A group of officers and soldiers had already gotten into the tanks or climbed onto them, touching here and there, almost drooling.

Every tank was filled with people.

Li Yunlong immediately cursed: "Fuck you, look at you guys, it's just a tank, not a fucking gold ingot, why are you making such a fuss about it?"

At this moment, Zhang Dabiao jumped down from the roof of a tank and reported to Li Yunlong with a smile on his face: "Commander, I have notified the machine gun battalion to come over. In addition, there are several drivers in the motor vehicle battalion who can drive tanks. I have also notified them to come over."

Obviously, this batch of tanks cannot be left here forever, otherwise they will definitely be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

If the Japanese reconnaissance plane calls for bombers and fighter planes, all the tanks will be finished.

At the 129th Division's school in southeastern Shanxi, there is a tank training class that was set up with the help of Boss Lin. The class has been in place for three months and has trained more than 100 tank soldiers.

Boss Lin provided the tanks, fuel, instructors, spare parts, and maintenance technical instructors for the training. Boss Lin also helped to set up the driver training class. Most of the 120 drivers in the motor battalion graduated from the driver training class.

Several drivers, including the motor vehicle battalion commander Liang Jinrong, would visit the tank training class when they had nothing to do, so they could learn some tank driving techniques.

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with Zhang Dabiao's arrangement: "As for the fuel, it needs to be transported to the warehouse as soon as possible, otherwise it will be destroyed by a Japanese aerial bomb."

"I understand." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile, "I've already notified the motor vehicle battalion to send a large truck over!"

Li Yunlong saw Zhang Dabiao holding a book with a tank on the cover. The book said, "M24 Tank Operation and Maintenance Manual." He asked, "How does this tank perform?"

"Very good!" Zhang Dabiao handed the manual to Li Yunlong. "It has strong firepower. The main gun is a 75mm cannon, and there are three machine guns. One of the machine guns has a caliber of 3mm, and the other two have a caliber of 1mm."

"Protection and mobility are also good. The armor plate thickness reaches 30 mm, and the speed can reach nearly 60 kilometers per hour."

Zhang Dabiao didn't understand things about usage and maintenance, but he could remember the performance data of the weapons after reading it once.

Li Yunlong's lips curled up as he flipped open the manual and looked at the performance data. "Combat weight 184000 kilograms? That's 18.4 tons. Da Biao, how much does the Japanese tank weigh?"

Zhang Dabiao immediately replied: "The combat weight of the Japanese Type 7.4 light tank is 15 tons, and the combat weight of the Japanese Type medium tank is tons."

Boss Lin provided information on almost all Japanese weapons. As Li Yunlong's number one general, Zhang Dabiao was quite familiar with the Japs' weapons.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "If our light tanks were placed against the Japanese, they would be considered medium tanks, right?"

"That's a true medium tank," Zhang Dabiao said with a sharp look in his eyes. "And the Japanese Type 47 medium tank has a 3mm gun and three 7.7mm machine guns. In terms of firepower, it can't even compare to our tanks."

"Haha, good stuff!"

Li Yunlong's eyes became brighter, like a hundred-watt light bulb. This was just the beginning, and there would be even better tanks in the future.
"This weapon will be the nightmare of the Japanese!"
