Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 313 Mountain Artillery Mortar Production Line!

The price of this business, in terms of light weapons, is mainly the weapons and equipment of two regiments.

However, these are not the weapons and equipment of the main force of more than 3000 people.

But it is the weapons and equipment of the main force regiment of more than 2500 people.

After all, Li Yunlong and his men killed more than 5000 Japanese devils this time.

And they are not the devils from the Type A Division.

If it is the Japanese from the Type A division, then they will have the weapons and equipment of four main regiments of 2500 people.

According to the order from headquarters, half of this batch of equipment must be handed over.

In other words, the Jinzhong Military Region can obtain weapons and equipment for more than 2500 people.

In addition, there are weapons and equipment for a main force regiment of 3000 people donated and rewarded by Boss Lin.

In this way, the Jinzhong Military Region can expand its main force by about 5500 people.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel secretly happy, as he had made quite a lot of money in this battle.

Moreover, because Boss Lin served as a military advisor, he had to reimburse the weapons and ammunition consumed in this battle.

This way, the happiness is tripled.

Boss Lin is truly a great benefactor to our Eighth Route Army.

The light weapons of the two main regiments were very luxurious, including 3200 rifles, 300 pistols, 600 submachine guns, 250 light and heavy machine guns, 81 24mm mortars, 60 ​​48mm mortars, 120 anti-tank rocket launchers, 1000 mules, 5 bases of ammunition, and 20 24mm machine guns.

If we take a single main regiment, its firepower is slightly superior to that of a Japanese infantry regiment.

However, Li Yunlong was troubled when it came to choosing heavy weapons.

According to the previous business agreement, if you shoot down a Japanese plane, you can get a mountain cannon, and if you shoot down a Japanese pilot, you can get two mountain cannons.

现在价码已经上涨，干掉1架鬼子飞机，可以获得1门105毫米榴弹炮或1门120毫米迫击炮，干掉1个鬼子飞行员，可以获得2门105毫米榴弹炮或2门120毫米迫击炮。

The price of killing a major general has not increased, but you can also get a 105mm howitzer.

In addition, Li Yunlong has not yet redeemed the price for shooting down 3 Japanese planes and killing 5 Japanese pilots in the last battle.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Dabiao, calculate how many 105mm howitzers or 120mm mortars we can get this time?"

Zhang Dabiao was a little tipsy, but his mind was clear. He quickly took out a notebook and a pen and started to calculate.

A moment later, Zhang Dabiao reported: "Commander, I just calculated that we can obtain 86 105mm howitzers or 120mm mortars in this battle. After handing over half of them, we will have 43 105mm howitzers or 120mm mortars left in our Jinzhong base."

The bulk of the business in acquiring howitzers and mortars was mainly for shelling Taiyuan Airport.

炸毁日军36架，击杀日军飞行员19人，可以获得74门105榴弹炮或120迫击炮。

In addition, killing the commander of the 25th Brigade, Naozo Nakano, will result in 12 105mm howitzers and 120mm mortars.

Also.

This battle also destroyed the field artillery battalion of the 108th Division and blew up 12 field guns.

Li Yunlong was able to obtain 12 Bofors 75mm mountain guns.

He planned to leave these 12 mountain cannons in the Jinzhong Military Region.

The last time we shot down three Japanese planes, we earned 3 13 mortars or 120 howitzers and handed them over to the brigade headquarters.

After all, the last time the Jinzhong Military Region obtained 12 105mm howitzers, the superiors did not have any.

"A total of 86 cannons." Li Yunlong smiled. "Three heavy artillery regiments. Da Biao, do you think we should get 105mm howitzers or 120mm mortars?"

Zhang Dabiao said, "Commander, the 105mm howitzers and 120mm mortars each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The 120mm mortar is powerful and has good mobility, but its range and accuracy are relatively low. The 105mm howitzer is only slightly inferior to the 120mm mortar in terms of power, but it has a long range and high accuracy. It can suppress enemy artillery positions with long-range artillery fire, and its direct fire power at close targets is also very powerful. So my suggestion is to choose half of each type of artillery, 21 105mm howitzers and 22 120mm mortars."

Li Yunlong looked at Lin Feng: "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

It’s not that Li Yunlong has no opinion, but Lin Feng is now a military adviser, so Li Yunlong attaches great importance to Lin Feng’s opinions.

Lin Feng nodded: "I agree with Captain Zhang's opinion. It's appropriate to choose half each."

"That's settled then." Li Yunlong nodded, secretly delighted. "We'll choose half of each of these two types of artillery."

Today, the Jinzhong base area has a military strength equivalent to that of a division.

In terms of heavy firepower, Li Yunlong was mainly concerned about strengthening the artillery fire support at the division level.

The 105mm howitzer and 120mm mortar are both very good division-level artillery fire support.

"Brother Lin."

"Have you had any business recently with production lines, such as mountain cannons and 82mm mortars?"

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong's expression suddenly changed, he took a sip of wine and asked.

Although Li Yunlong's troops were already at the division level, many of his brother units were at the regimental level. The ideal artillery firepower at the regimental level was mainly 75mm mountain and field artillery and 82mm mortars.

Of course, it would be better to have a 120mm mortar, but with the current equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, it is not possible to equip each regiment with 75mm field guns and 82mm mortars, let alone 120mm mortars.

It would be great if the Eighth Route Army Corps could be generally equipped with 75mm mountain guns and 82mm mortars.

In this way, during the battle, the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army's ordinary regiments could suppress the Japanese infantry battalions.

"That's what I was going to say."

To the surprise of Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, Lin Feng nodded:
"Let's finish talking about logistics first. In addition to reimbursing weapons and ammunition consumed in victory, we can also reimburse your troops for training bullets and artillery shells. All of them are live ammunition."

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were overjoyed when they heard this!

Although the troops are now richer than before, there are still not many training bullets available for the soldiers, and the artillery can only fire training bullets in peacetime.

After all, it is a training bullet, and the effect is definitely not as good as real bullet.

"Brother Lin, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Jinzhong Military Region, I express my gratitude to you!"

Li Yunlong stood up, raised his wine bowl to toast, his face full of gratitude.

Zhang Dabiao standing by was so excited that he could hardly speak.

If Boss Lin could reimburse the ammunition used for training, the entire army's marksmanship and artillery technology could be improved by two levels.

"This is what you deserve." Lin Feng nodded.

The soldiers fought bravely, using their blood and lives to fight the Japanese devils. All he could do was to help the soldiers fleece the system.

There is no provision for reimbursement of training ammunition in the dog system’s logistics. This provision was added by Lin Feng himself.

The system has to listen to the protagonist in everything. Isn't this reasonable?

If the dog system doesn't agree, Lin Feng will quit and let the system find Li Yunlong as the host.

After a pause, Lin Feng continued, "Regarding the business of the 75mm mountain gun production line, we need to severely damage or completely annihilate a Japanese artillery brigade, or kill a Japanese artillery brigade commander."

"As for the 82mm mortar business, it's relatively simple. You just need to severely damage or completely wipe out a Japanese artillery regiment, or kill a Japanese artillery regiment commander to obtain it."

The production of 75mm mountain guns and 82mm mortars is not a particularly difficult technology.

Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal and the Northeast Army's Fengtian Arsenal were both able to produce 75mm mountain guns and 82mm mortars, but their performance was relatively poor.

"The price is reasonable." Li Yunlong nodded. "But Brother Lin, this little Japanese First Army doesn't have an artillery brigade. How can I seriously damage or completely wipe out the Japanese artillery brigade, let alone kill the little Japanese artillery brigade commander?"

Zhang Dabiao also said: "The Japanese artillery brigades are generally called field heavy artillery brigades, equipped with cannons and howitzers with a caliber of 150mm or more. Currently, the Japanese only have 6 field heavy artillery brigades, and the North China Front Army does not seem to be equipped with a heavy artillery brigade."

Lin Feng nodded. "I know that. It can be accumulated. For example, if you severely damage or completely wipe out six artillery battalions, you can obtain a 6mm mountain gun production line. If you severely damage or completely wipe out three artillery battalions, you can obtain an 75mm mortar production line."

“Can it be accumulated?”

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. "My troops have severely damaged or completely wiped out four or five Japanese artillery battalions, right?"

Zhang Dabiao nodded: "I think so!"

Lin Feng said, "Brother Yunlong, you're overthinking it. Starting from now, I've already paid the price for severely damaging and completely annihilating the Japanese artillery battalion."

"Haha, that's true." Li Yunlong smiled awkwardly. If the previous severe damage and complete annihilation of the Japanese artillery battalion also counted, then the price would be doubled. This is not the way business works.

As a result, in the following battles, the artillery battalions and artillery regiments that destroyed the Japanese can only be kept and not collected.

If you want a complete 75mm mountain gun production line and 82mm mortar production line, you need to kill nine Japanese artillery battalions.

Nine artillery battalions, that is 108 75mm mountain guns or field guns, which is three artillery regiments. If converted into the artillery organization of the Chinese army, it would be three artillery regiments.

"Brother Lin, what are the outputs of the mountain cannon production line and the 82mm production line?" Thinking of this, Li Yunlong asked again. He wanted to see which one was more cost-effective first.

Lin Feng said: "When the production line is fully operational, the monthly output of mountain artillery is 24 pieces, and the monthly output of 82mm mortars is 36 pieces. In addition, the artillery shell production line also includes 75 rounds of 6000mm shells and 82 rounds of 10000mm shells per month."

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the production line would be much more cost-effective.

Li Yunlong nodded. "Then I'll save the mountain artillery from the 108th Division's Field Artillery Battalion and exchange it for a mountain artillery and mortar production line. And last time, we shot down three Japanese planes and killed five pilots, but we didn't get anything for it."

Lin Feng said: "You can exchange it for 13 120mm mortars or 105mm howitzers."

Li Yunlong said: "Of these 13 guns, I plan to hand over 6 guns, and leave the remaining 7 guns in the Jinzhong Military Region."

"Row!"

Lin Feng nodded and quickly wrote it down.

Then, Lin Feng said, "There is an important piece of information. The Japanese army intends to decapitate the Eighth Route Army headquarters."

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were suddenly startled, and then murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
