In early July, Kashnikov improved on the Garand rifle and developed a semi-automatic rifle with both the firepower of a semi-automatic rifle and the accuracy of a bolt-action rifle. It looks exactly like the 56 and a half. At a military conference, it was officially named the 28 semi-automatic rifle.

Type 28 semi-automatic rifle

Empty gun 3.88 kg

The total length is 1025mm, and the rear is 1260mm equipped with triangular spurs.

It uses 7.62mm caliber bullets and has a capacity of ten rounds.

The regimental artillery support unit uses the M1 75mm howitzer.

The M1 75mm howitzer was developed by Bald Eagle in the 1920s to adapt to the needs of complex terrain operations. It is a combined artillery piece that can be quickly broken into several parts during movement to facilitate the artillery's portability. The entire gun weighs only 653 kilograms and can be towed by a jeep for highway maneuvers.

The gun has a maximum range of 9,000 meters, a rate of fire of 5 rounds/minute, a muzzle velocity of 381 meters/second, and a gun crew of 6 people.

The gun has not been taken seriously since its development. By 1940, when World War II had broken out, only 90 guns were produced. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, production increased significantly, but at the peak of production in 1943, only 2,592 were produced. By the time production ceased in 1944, a total of nearly 5,300 guns of various types were produced.

During and after World War II, the gun was provided to the national army as military aid and was relatively common on domestic battlefields at that time. The domestic armies of both sides usually call it the American-made 75 Field Artillery or 75 Mountain Artillery.

In addition to its flexibility and suitability for mountain warfare, the gun's other properties are very mediocre. This is the main reason why the gun does not have a large amount of equipment. In fact, the performance of many weapons that the United States assisted the Kuomintang army at that time was very mediocre. In addition to the M1 75 field gun, the M3 Stuart tank is also an example.

The division's first-level artillery regiment uses lefh18 howitzers and German 105mm howitzers.

Le.FH18 howitzer:

Caliber: 105 mm

Gun carriage length: 6.10 meters

Total combat weight: 1525kg

Total length of gun: 2.94 meters, width: 1.98 meters, height: 1.88 meters

Artillery elevation angle: -10 degrees - +40 degrees Artillery firing range: left and right plus or minus 57 degrees

Shell weight: 14.97kg Maximum rate of fire: 7 rounds/minute

Muzzle velocity: 469 meters/second Maximum range: 10671 meters

Staffing: 8 people.

The LeFH18 howitzer was designed in 1918. It was one of the best artillery guns at the time. It was finalized in 1929. In September 1939, when World War II broke out, there were already 2,500 Le. FH 18 howitzers in service with the German No. 3 Middle School. From 1940 to 1945, Dezi produced a total of 20,000 105mm le. FH 18 howitzers.

Although the LeFH18 is difficult to produce and the shells used are not as powerful as the Mao Xiong M-30 122mm howitzer, it is still an all-rounder on the battlefield. It was used on various battlefields during the war and was also installed on a tank chassis and converted into a self-propelled artillery. , the Le. FH 18 howitzer was officially produced in 1929 and entered service in the German No. 3 Middle School. As the standard howitzer of the German Wehrmacht, it accompanied the German army throughout the entire process of World War II until the end of the European War on May 9, 1945. The Le. FH 18 howitzer has excellent performance. Its curved trajectory can not only carry out long-distance curved suppression shooting, but also flexibly adjust the artillery trajectory. It has the direct trajectory characteristics of an anti-tank gun at close range, and can carry out effective direct-aimed shooting. It is deeply loved. Loved by the officers and soldiers of Dezi.

The first-level artillery support unit of the corps, the artillery division, has 5 regiments under its jurisdiction.

antiaircraft artillery regiment

32 88mm anti-aircraft guns

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is a medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun designed and tested by the German Krupp subsidiary of the world-famous artillery manufacturer. After field trials were completed, it entered service in 1933. It also had particularly strong anti-tank capabilities.

This gun was the most successful artillery system used in World War II. It was a very successful medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun, which gave this type of anti-aircraft gun a high rate of fire. When Mustache finally threw away the shackles of the arms limitation treaty, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun was immediately adopted by the Tokoku Air Force as the standard equipment of medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

2 105mm howitzer regiments

1 150mm howitzer regiment

Equipped with SFH18 howitzer

The SFH 18 (German: SChWere FeldhaUbitZe 18) howitzer, nicknamed "Immergrün" (evergreen tree) by the German army, was the main heavy howitzer of the Nazis in World War II. Each infantry division was equipped with 12 as division weight. Fire support. Although the actual caliber is only 149.1 mm, because the predecessor SFH 13 howitzer was also named with the same caliber and 15 cm, this naming method continues. The SFH18 howitzer was Tokko's main heavy howitzer in World War II. Each infantry division was equipped with 12 as heavy fire support for the division. Although the actual caliber is only 149.1 mm, because the predecessor SFH 13 howitzer was also named with the same caliber and 15 cm, this naming method continues.

A heavy howitzer regiment, equipped with B-4 howitzers

The B-4 howitzer has good ballistic performance and high shooting accuracy, with a total weight of 15.8 tons. The B-4 adopts a special double station retreat and re-entry system. It is Maozi's earliest artillery equipped with this system, and it is very stable when shooting. The B-4 barrel is 5087 mm long, the rifled part is 3981 mm long, the number of riflings in the bore reaches 64, and the barrel weight reaches 5.2 tons. Lao Maozi prepared a series of ammunition for the B-4 howitzer, including concrete-penetrating projectiles and special tail-stabilized projectiles. The latter's warhead is made of chromium-vanadium alloy and is about 1 meter in length. Due to its very high material density, Can increase the penetrating power of the warhead.

Caliber: 203mm

Total weight: 15.8 tons

Barrel length: 5,087 mm

Zhang Yunhan is also a spokesman for artillery doctrine. Without the cover of artillery fire, how can his soldiers fight?
