Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1564, French Cannon

Two days later.

Hankou, Guangdong-Han Wharf.

A cargo ship slowly landed. Freighter flies the Italian flag.

Zhang Yong stood next to the pier. His face was cold.

The freighter is equipped with double-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns. A total of one hundred and twenty doors.

This is a very important batch of arms.

More important than the 75mm Italian cannon.

The function is air defense.

The National Government Air Force retreated. The Soviet air force also retreated.

From now on, the battle for defense of Hankou will have to rely on anti-aircraft artillery. The Japanese invaders must pay a heavy price.

The Japanese invaders went deep into Hankou, and it was almost the end of their strength.

As long as Zhang Yong is still in Hankou, the Japanese invaders will not be able to come in.

These 37mm anti-aircraft guns are also effective weapons to deal with the Japanese speedboat raids. It can prevent the Japanese invaders from using speedboats and sneak attacks in merchant ships.

The last time the Japanese invaders used small steamer to attack, which was not very powerful. Maybe it will improve the method.

“Specialist!”

“Move all to the airport.”

"yes."

Du Shanglong and others began to take action.

The planes of the National Government Air Force began to transition one after another.

Hankou Airport has since become deserted. The Fourth Air Police Regiment is temporarily unemployed.

Since the airport no longer needs strict guards, the Fourth Air Police Regiment can be drawn out to participate in the battle.

The weapons and equipment of the Fourth Air Police Regiment are very good.

All of Garland semi-automatic rifles. Many M2 large caliber heavy machine guns.

There are also many 81mm mortars.

When necessary, if you enter the field, you will be a powerful elite.

As the plane turned out, Hankou Airport became empty. Zhang Yong then turned it into a training base.

By the way, he also set up his own command center at Hankou Airport. It just happens to use various original equipment and facilities at the airport. Especially large communication equipment.

The radio station at Hankou Airport is high-powered. The launch distance is very long. Can surround the world.

At the same time, it is also equipped with a diesel generator.

Communication equipment can be used even when the external power supply is cut off.

Weapons and ammunition are available. The rest is people.

Come to the Security Command again. Commander Qian was dozing off.

He is the nominal commander of the security commander. It was a cover for Zhang Yong. Actually, it doesn't matter.

"commander."

"I heard you're very busy."

"Yes. I'll give it all."

"so…"

"Please convey my request to the attendant's office. I want to set up an editorial and training headquarters in Hankou."

"You want to recruit troops yourself?"

"yes."

Zhang Yong answered bluntly.

This is the basic requirement for keeping Wuhan.

His troops were seriously insufficient. We cannot rely solely on the Ministry of Military Affairs to supplement it.

If you have your own training headquarters, you can directly recruit new recruits. Then carry out unified training.

The 67th, 68th, 69th and 100th armies he can command now are seriously dissatisfied. The 48th Army of the Guangxi clique was not full. There are also 55th Army.

The system can solve weapons and ammunition. But the troops were not replenished. You have to find a way yourself.

Instead of doing it secretly. It’s better to make a request directly.

If the bald head agrees, it is naturally the best. If you don't agree, you have to find a way to replenish the troops.

In fact, there are training headquarters in each theater.

That is to say, each war zone can expand its own army. As long as you have money and weapons.

It just so happens that Zhang Yong has weapons now. You can get money, too.

Why has the strength of the Guangxi clan increased so quickly? There are people in the fifth war zone!

The fifth war zone controls the Central Plains, and the people of Wumao are prosperous. Especially in terms of military sources, it has unique advantages.

"The Commission has long known that you would make such a request."

"Um?"

"The commander-in-chief has issued an order to establish an editorial and training headquarters in Hankou, where I personally serve as the commander."

"oh?"

"The commission has called me and asked me to do my best to meet your request. I have agreed. I will give up this old bone and help you complete the four soldiers as much as possible."

"Very good!"

"The Fifth War Zone will also actively supplement the 48th Army and 55th Army."

"good."

Zhang Yong finally felt relieved.

It seems that bald heads really want both and want them. I don’t want to throw away Wuhan so quickly.

If you don’t need to consume the strength of the Huangpu branch and be able to defend Wuhan, it is naturally the most ideal. So, he will make some concessions.

It is possible to set up an editorial and training headquarters. But it is controlled by Commander Qian. It's also a kind of constraint.

Human nature. It's understandable. Especially bald people who are very worried about being seized.

"In addition, Director He Guoguang is responsible for replenishing troops in the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army. Director Gu Zhenglun is responsible for the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army."

"The 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army?"

"Yes. They are also on the way to Hankou. You will also be instructed in the future."

"good."

Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is not as bad as expected. Not in desperate situation.

It seems that I will not turn the tide without trying to turn it over. As long as the troops from all sides are constantly replenished, he is still confident.

To be precise, it is to have confidence in the system.

If six armies, two divisions are added, they will be about 200,000.

Even if the Japanese invaders concentrated 300,000 or 400,000 people to attack fiercely, he still had the confidence to fight. It will never allow the Japanese invaders to succeed easily.

And these six armies and two divisions do not have the Huangpu direct lineage. So, bald heads don't have to feel so heartbroken.

"The 184th Division of the Yunnan Army is temporarily unable to return because it is behind enemy lines. Therefore, the Yunnan Army will send a new division to Hankou to participate in the battle. Their troops will be supplemented by Chief Lu."

"good!"

Zhang Yong cheered up.

not bad. It is also good news.

Except for the Huangpu branch. The Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, Guizhou Army, Northeast Army and Northwest Army were all in one go.

Oh, there is no Jinshi for the time being. Yan Laoxi is so stingy, of course it is impossible for him to send troops to Hankou.

A bunch of hodgepodge troops.

From all over the world. in all directions. All over the world.

Everyone has their own interests.

If it is a mess, of course it cannot defeat the Japanese invaders.

However, if it is a tie, the Japanese invaders may have their teeth broken if they want to get benefits.

"Commander, then I'll go back."

"Shaolong, don't worry about training recruits!"

"Thanks!"

Zhang Yong said goodbye and left.

Solved the biggest problem and was in a good mood.

Back to the combat location.

The original Jiujiang Forward Command Post has been revoked.

The name used now is the combat office of the servant room.

Yes, a small department-level unit. "Specialist, you are back just in time." Du Songyue came up to us.

"Is there any good news?" Zhang Yong found that the other party was in good spirits.

"I just received the notice that the 8,000 new recruits who were supplemented with the 145th Division will arrive in Hankou one after another."

"How many?"

"Eight thousand."

"so much?"

"Yes. The first batch of 1,000 people will arrive soon."

"I'll go and have a look!"

Zhang Yong couldn't hold back any longer. He Guoguang is really powerful.

Without saying a word, he directly allocated eight thousand people to himself. Those are eight thousand people!

It should be known that as a large number of lands are lost, the national government's military source has also begun to be tense. As a province with a large population, Sichuan is an important source of troops.

Every month, a large number of new recruits are recruited from Sichuan. But it has never been able to meet the needs of the frontline.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

Now, I will allocate eight thousand people to myself in one breath. Definitely care.

The 145th Division of the Sichuan Army originally had about 7,000 people, and 8,000 people, which was 15,000 people.

It can almost be said to be a dissatisfied army. Therefore, the preparation needs to be slightly adjusted.

Originally, the fourth regiment of the two brigades was directly changed to the third brigade and the ninth regiment.

right. that's all.

Come to the dock. Welcome the recruits.

Sure enough, the first batch of new recruits arrived had good quality.

They are all young men. Nothing made up the numbers. The worst weight is over 90 kilograms.

Why talk about weight?

Because at that time, weight was a very important recruitment indicator.

If an adult man doesn’t even have ninety pounds, he will definitely not be considered a soldier. Height is not that important.

“Commissioners, they have not received any military training.”

"Leave it to the 145th Division!"

"but…"

"The 145th Division has no combat mission yet."

"clear."

The new recruits are just coming, and there is nothing but a half-new military uniform.

Sending them to the battlefield immediately would undoubtedly be a death.

That is very irresponsible. He, Zhang Yong, refused such a battle.

He wants to give the recruits at least three months to train. It's best for half a year.

"arms…"

“Extracted from Hanyang Arsenal.”

"yes."

Zhang Yong suddenly discovered it.

I actually have an arsenal. It's really rare.

Although the Hanyang Arsenal was unable to produce heavy weapons. However, it is still no problem to produce Hanyang manufacturing.

If all aspects are smooth and production is fully utilized, it is possible to produce 3,000 Hanyang plants every month.

Hanyang is not a thing that cannot be killed. The key is to heavy weapons.

Of course, it would be great if the system could help upgrade the production line.

pity…

The system responded without any response.

"Help me pick up Hanyang Arsenal."

"yes."

Soon, the phone number of Hanyang Arsenal was connected.

Zeng Zhaoliu answered the phone. Deputy Director of the General Administration of Ordnance. Zeng Guofan's descendants.

“Specialist.”

"Director Zeng, from now on, all the weapons produced by the Hanyang Arsenal will be handed over to me to distribute."

"yes."

"I will immediately hand-written a written order and send someone to you."

"yes."

Put down the phone.

Zhang Yong started to write the commands handwritten.

Others must hold written orders in order to speak to all parties.

If someone is dissatisfied, come for yourself.

He gave the other party a big mouth.

In fact, no one will rob it.

They are all made in Hanyang, what's the point of grabbing? Do you still want Italian cannons?

Did he anger Zhang Yong, and he still wanted an Italian artillery? There is nothing to eat!

Check out the empty finger map. The Japanese plane did not move.

In fact, Zhang Yong was a little eager for the Japanese plane to appear. Shooting down the Sunken plane, there are Italian cannons.

【System upgrade...】

Suddenly, there was a message prompt.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

upgrade?

What content?

Is it an upgrade map again?

It doesn't seem to be of much use!

【Upgrade 30% completed…】

【Upgrade completed 70%…】

【Successful upgrade! 】

The speed is quite fast. I just don't know what new content is.

Check. There was nothing in the end.

Oh. Another invalid upgrade. I am happy for nothing.

disappointment…

【French cannon is ready】

Suddenly, the system prompted.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

A burst of excitement all over his body.

French cannon!

Wow!

Is this serious?

What's the diameter? Is it possible to deliver now?

Check it out hurriedly.

It turned out that it was the French M1917 155mm howitzer.

It's quite old. But the performance seems to be pretty good. Maximum range of 11 kilometers. The shell weighs 43 kg. The total weight is three tons.

It seems a bit exaggerated to say it is a giant cannon. After all, it's only 155mm caliber.

However, if placed in the Chinese battlefield, it would be a giant cannon. The German Krupp is only 150 mm caliber.

Then, the question is...

Such a heavy artillery could not move at all.

Basically, it can only be used fixedly. Or use it around Wuhan.

Car traction is required. Human and animal power cannot be pulled. A relatively good road is needed.

Happy. But not very happy.

at last…

I tilted my head and thought about it.

Let's set up the heavy artillery regiment first.

Just so happened that the original heavy artillery regiment of the National Government was gone, but the personnel should still be there.

"Come!"

"arrive!"

"I'll find a way to contact the personnel of the former National Government's heavy artillery regiment. I said that I, Zhang Yong, have something to do with them."

"yes."
