The American M-1 81mm mortar is an American imitation and improved French Brand 81mm mortar.
The gun has a caliber of 81 mm, a barrel length of 1.19 meters, an M4 sight, a muzzle velocity of 210 meters per second, and a range of 3,000 meters.
This medium-sized mortar has a maximum range of three kilometers, but it is relatively bulky, with a total weight of about 60 kilograms. The gun mount, barrel and base need to be carried separately, but the shells are spread over a small area, have strong lethality and high accuracy. The shells are equipped with various types of grenades, illumination bombs and smoke screens. As a medium-range fire suppression weapon on the battlefield, it is already very good.
It would be perfect if the M-2 type 60mm light force can be unlocked later and used in conjunction with the M-1 to achieve fire coverage at medium and close ranges.
Liao Mingyu looked at the introduction of the weapon and felt very satisfied. However, the mall showed that the price of this mortar actually cost 400 points, and each shell cost 5 points. This damn thing really wasn’t created casually.
Now the army consumes a lot of bullets, and the firearms are very messy. Every time he exchanges bullets in the mall, it gives him a headache. But now is not the time for a big change of equipment. This matter can only be discussed back to Zenda.
For the positional defense battle we are facing now, the top priority is to replenish various types of ammunition. The key is to purchase some heavy weapons and machine guns.
The sky was getting dark, and the soldiers were still building their positions and were very busy. Liao Mingyu walked alone to the hillside behind him while no one was paying attention to him.
The side of Nantianmen facing the east bank is a steep cliff, and there are high and uneven hillsides on both sides. On the west side facing Myanmar, there is another long slope.
Just looking at the terrain, the entire Nantianmen area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is no need to build fortifications in many places, and it is a natural fortress in itself. If you manage it a little bit, you can definitely turn it into a terrifying military fortress.
Think of the Takeuchi Mountains in the original drama. After capturing Nantianmen, he built countless tunnel fortresses here. With a background in civil engineering, he dug through the entire mountain and even hollowed out the trunk of the thousand-year-old tree. Built as his command post.
The Takeuchi Mountains have turned the entire Nantianmen into a terrifying defense system, like a bloody maw that swallows the enemy's life. Anyone who wants to attack it without paying several times or even ten times the price will have no chance of shaking it at all.
Liao Mingyu came to the hillside on the side of Nantianmen. The terrain was relatively complicated. The dense woods and rugged mountains made it difficult to move. He searched around and finally found a cave on a rock wall.
The cave is more than 3 meters high and not very deep inside. It is four to five meters long but seven or eight meters wide. It's like a depression carved into a stone wall.
Right here, Liao Mingyu immediately took out all 6 81mm mortars from the warehouse, and spent 4,000 points from the mall to redeem 10 81mm mortars and 400 high-explosive mortar shells.
The price of this heavy weapon was much more expensive than ordinary firearms, which really made Liao Mingyu feel heartbroken.
But looking at the 16 mortars and 600 rounds of artillery shells neatly on the ground, hey, it's a bit expensive, but it's enough for the little devil to have a good drink.
A Maxim heavy machine gun costs 50 points, and you can redeem 10 of them.
A Bren-type light machine gun costs 25 points, and you can redeem 20 of them.
300 M24 grenades.
Then I exchanged 3,000 points for various types of bullets.
Rammulang spent a total of 9,500 points. The more than 10,000 points he finally collected now have less than 4,000. Even though there are so many weapons and equipment, it feels uncomfortable to distribute them to a team of more than a thousand people. How big a wave.
It's true that the gunfire is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Liao Mingyu's heart is bleeding. The remaining points can no longer be redeemed. He must ensure the army's subsequent ammunition consumption. Although this batch of equipment is not much, among China's second-rate armies, You can already be considered extremely rich. What's more, these defeated troops originally had less than one hand of bullets.
As long as you are still fighting, you will have no shortage of points. In the next battle, you can only rely on the system to unlock better weapons and equipment and bring greater damage to the little devils.
Liao Mingyu browsed the medical sundries mall. The original first aid medical kit required 20 points each, but the medicines and equipment in one first aid kit could fully meet the needs of battlefield treatment for 3 to 5 people.
There are also some sulfa, morphine, penicillin and special hemostatic agents that can be redeemed individually, and the price is not expensive. You can redeem one with 3.4 points. This can still be accepted by Liao Mingyu.
Gritting his teeth, Liao Mingyu once again spent 1,500 points to redeem 50 first aid kits and various medicines. In the end, there were only more than 2,000 points left.
These things cannot be spared. Wounded soldiers, as long as they are not severely disabled, can return to the battlefield after treatment. They are all veterans who have experienced a hail of bullets. It is the most precious "material" for the troops, and they must not be allowed to die from their injuries.
The entire cave was already piled full of various supplies. Liao Mingyu found some weeds and shrubs for cover. After doing everything, he returned to his position.
Seeing Liao Mingyu return, the backbones of the Sichuan Army gathered around.
Long Wenwen was the first to speak: "Tuanzong, they just came back. The Japanese army is less than 5 kilometers away from us. There is a brigade at the front, followed by an infantry brigade and an artillery squadron."
"I think the Japanese troops coming towards us this time may have a regiment!"
Listening to Long Wenwen's words, everyone looked heavy. There were more than 3,000 people in a Japanese regiment, and there was also a full artillery squadron, which made everyone feel stressed.
Liao Mingyu said to everyone: "Let everyone continue to build positions, especially dig more individual bunkers that I taught you last time. As long as the little devils are not bombarded with heavy artillery, our soldiers hiding inside can ensure the minimum casualties." "
"Send more observation posts in front and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese. We don't have much time. Let the brothers move faster."
"Yes, Danzao!"
After everyone heard the order, they immediately turned around and went to work. Liao Mingyu stopped Long Wenwen and Meng Fan. He whispered to him:
"You two wait, find a group of soldiers to move things with me."
"Um?"
"What are you moving, sandbags?" Meng Fangliao asked confused.
"It's a good thing. We need more people. If we don't have enough, we can't move it." Liao Mingyu tried his best and said with a smile.
Meng Fangliao and the two looked at each other. Although they were confused, they still called nearly 100 people as instructed and followed Liao Mingyu down the hillside.
He led everyone to the destination after many twists and turns. The sky had turned completely dark. Fortunately, Liao Mingyu had marked it in advance, otherwise he might not have been able to find this cave.
Long Wenwen struck a match and lit the torch. The light of the flame instantly illuminated the entire cave.
"My old mother..."
The scene in front of him was so startling that he uttered a dialect in an unknown place, and like an old pervert, he impatiently pounced on the weapons and equipment in that place.
"Tuan... Tuanzu, did you go and rob the little devil's logistics team?" Meng Fan was stunned and said in shock.
There were more than a dozen mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and countless ammunition boxes. This is simply more generous than the main force of Yu Xiaoqing opposite.
"I'm a regimental leader after all. Could it be that the higher-ups only give me a position and don't give me anything practical?" Liao Mingyu kept up the pretense without a blushing face.
"These are the weapons and equipment given to me by Shangfeng. They were stored here before we arrived at Nantianmen. Their liaison soldiers just found me and pointed out the location to me. No, this is what you see."
Anyway, just push all the problems to the mysterious Shangfeng. Besides, Liao Mingyu can't find any other better explanation. It's better to keep the system's problems in his own stomach. Liao Mingyu doesn't intend to share this with anyone. secret.
"Brothers, let's move. We've made a fortune this time, haha!" Long Wenwen didn't care about so much and called on everyone to quickly share the spoils.
