Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 62 Caliber, 75 mm!

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the transport team behind Boss Lin.

In addition to the weapons and ammunition on the mule carts covered by tarpaulins, each member of the transport team was equipped with a fully automatic firearm, their bodies were filled with magazines and ammunition belts, and their waists and shoulders were full of high-explosive grenades.

Everyone was also sighing in their hearts, thinking that he was indeed a wealthy man, even his subordinates were so wealthy.

The entire transport team exudes the feeling of being rich.

If the individual soldiers under Boss Lin are strong enough, their firepower will be stronger than that of an entire Japanese battalion!

"That's right!"

Lin Feng nodded and smiled slightly:
"These are the final payments from the last collaboration, as well as the rewards for successfully completing the collaboration. In addition, there are even bigger rewards for collaboration."

"Bigger rewards for cooperation?"

Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Let's settle the balance first."

Lin Feng handed a list in his hand to Li Yunlong:
“4挺4联装马克沁，20挺带轮子的单挺马克沁，以及机枪弹32万发，1万枚MK2手雷，奖励是3万枚MK2手雷。”

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up. This reward was very good.

The deposit and final payment for this business totaled 72 Maxim heavy machine guns, 62 rounds of ammunition, and 2 grenades.

Including the 3 grenades as rewards, the total number of grenades is 5.

This does not include the number of Japanese heads killed. The price for killing Japanese heads is calculated separately.

Every time you kill a Japanese soldier, you can exchange it for 1 bullets, or a rifle and 1000 bullets.

The bullets and grenades earned from the first cooperation, as well as the bullets and grenades from the second deposit, were basically used up in this battle.

According to statistics after the war, the Eighth Route Army killed 2500 Japanese devils in the Battle of Wangdongbao, but the consumption of ammunition was also astonishing.

In terms of bullets and grenades alone, more than 50 rounds and more than 1 pieces were consumed.

During ambushes and sieges, hundreds of 70mm shells were fired.

During the Pingxingguan Battle, if the main force of the 115th Division had this firepower and ammunition, the results would have been much greater and many fewer soldiers would have been sacrificed.

If the individual soldier's quality is not as good as the Japanese, then we can only compete with ammunition and firepower.

The weapons and equipment won in this battle were shared by the New 1st Regiment, which kept them for itself and handed them over to its superiors, and were also distributed to the other three regiments that participated in the battle.

"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Lin."

As for the balance, Li Yunlong was not surprised at all, except for the 3 grenades as a reward.

The MK2 grenade is more useful than the Japanese melon grenade, not to mention the domestically produced wooden-handled grenade. The shape of the MK2 is a bit like a pineapple, so the soldiers also call it a pineapple grenade. The more the better.

The amounts of the deposit and the final payment are agreed upon at the beginning.

"By the way, Brother Lin, why does that thing look like a cannon to me? Is that the deposit for our next collaboration?"

Li Yunlong pointed to a tarpaulin that looked like a cannon. In front of the tarpaulin were two mules pulling it with ropes, which meant that the thing was very heavy.

It was most likely a cannon. Not only Li Yunlong, but also Zhong Zhicheng, Zhang Dabiao, Song Daying and others all looked at the tarpaulin with anticipation.

Lin Feng shook his head: "This is not the deposit for the next cooperation, this is the artillery your group earned from the bombardment of Dai County Airport."

While speaking, Lin Feng waved his hand to signal his men to open the tarpaulin.

The moment the tarpaulin was lifted, Li Yunlong's eyes widened instantly, and he saw an exquisite 75mm mountain cannon revealed.

Wow…

There was an uproar all around. Li Yunlong and the soldiers who brought the goods stared at the 75mm mountain cannon and could not move their eyes away.

This 75mm mountain gun is green and black all over. The biggest difference between it and the Japanese mountain gun is that it has a protective shield installed in front of the gun.

"Brother Lin, is this... a 75mm mountain cannon?"

Li Yunlong's eyes were burning, his throat rolled and he swallowed.

Lin Feng introduced: "This mountain gun is a Bofors L24 75mm mountain gun with a maximum range of 10 kilometers, which is about 2 kilometers further than the maximum range of the Japanese Type 200 mountain gun. Although it is 25 kilograms heavier than the Japanese Type mountain gun, its maximum rate of fire can reach rounds per minute."

Li Yunlong asked, "What is the maximum firing rate of the Japanese Type 94 mountain gun?"

Lin Feng: "The Japanese Type 20 mountain gun has a maximum rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute, and a normal rate of fire of rounds per minute. This type of gun is quite advanced and can automatically eject shell casings, so its rate of fire is relatively fast. It can be disassembled for transportation and can also be towed by a car."

Although Zhong Zhicheng, Zhang Dabiao and others could not get a word in, the passionate look in their eyes as they looked at the 75mm mountain cannon said it all.

The surprise in Li Yunlong's eyes became more intense: "Good stuff, it's really good stuff."

The National Army also imported some of this type of mountain gun, but the relatively backward Bofors M1922 75mm mountain gun had a barrel 20 times the caliber, a total weight of 785 kg, and was not available in large quantities. The Bofors mountain gun produced by the system was more advanced.

Next, Lin Feng continued to introduce other advantages of this mountain cannon.

Compared to other mountain guns, the Bofors' most notable features were its compact construction and ease of disassembly. Many of its designs were designed with practical application in mind and its ease of movement across diverse terrains in mind, demonstrating its superiority.

There are three devices in it, which have advantages that most mountain cannons at that time did not have: the first is that the wheels are equipped with brakes, which can exert a braking effect to stabilize the gun body when it is pulled by mules and horses, whether going up or down slopes or when the horses are frightened; the second is the height and direction shooting range brake, which can maintain the original accuracy during movement, so as to quickly change positions in battle.

The third is the middle frame of the gun carriage, which is equipped with a small recoil hoe. When fighting in narrow terrain, the rear frame can be removed and placed in a row, so that shooting will not be restricted by the terrain. At the same time, the rear frame can be flipped upward to shorten the turning radius, making it easier to pass through winding paths when towed.

In fact, according to Lin Feng and the system's original plan, the weapons and ammunition that would be used in cooperation with Li Yunlong, the 75mm mountain cannon would not appear so early.

After all, the new regiment was not even equipped with mortars, and the 70mm infantry gun that was the first collaboration between them was only because it was the first time that Lin Feng and Li Yunlong collaborated, and the price was too high.

but!

Who could have imagined that Li Yunlong's artillery platoon actually shot down 24 Japanese planes and 5 Japanese pilots?

So the system unlocked the 75mm mountain cannon in advance, and Li Yunlong also passively made a fortune in advance.

Lin Feng listed the total number of mountain guns obtained: "Last time, your regiment's artillery bombarded the Daixian Airport, bombing 24 Japanese planes and killing 5 Japanese pilots. Based on the calculation that one mountain gun is obtained for each plane destroyed and two 1mm mountain guns are obtained for each Japanese pilot killed, this time, Brother Li, you have obtained a total of 1 1mm mountain guns."

"Brother Lin, what did you say? 34 75mm mountain cannons?"

Li Yunlong suddenly widened his eyes, his head buzzed, and he felt his whole body was instantly surrounded by happiness.
