Sichuan Army Station...
After Liao Mingyu came back with the soldiers, he locked himself in the room.
"System! Come out. I'm looking for something."
"Ding, I have something to say."
"...Are you going to be so arrogant?"
Liao Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little speechless. After all, he was promoted today. He shouldn't be congratulated.
"I'm not going to bullshit you anymore, just take the prize."
Liao Mingyu curled his lips, it was more important to do business first. What if there is a 203mm plus howitzer? I still have to have a dream.
"Ding, the random weapons and equipment were drawn. Congratulations to the host for getting a Willys military jeep, which comes with an M2 Browning heavy machine gun and 1,000 rounds of 12.7mm machine gun ammunition. And successfully unlocked the machine gun."
M2! An M2 that fires .50 rounds? I'm sure it's worth it. If you hit it on the torso, it can smash a person to pieces. The little devil's thin-skinned bean tank is also a matter of half a shuttle.
Haha, Maxim can be eliminated now. The 12.7mm bullet has a long range, straight trajectory, high muzzle velocity and great power. And it has very high accuracy.
You know, the maximum range of this machine gun is more than 2 kilometers! It can even be used as a sniper gun with a scope, and as an anti-aircraft machine gun with an anti-aircraft mount. It is very convenient to change the use.
In World War II, the most glorious moment of the M2 heavy machine gun was when the legendary soldier Audie Murphy dragged his injured leg onto a burning M10 tank destroyer when facing the German attack, and used the vehicle-mounted M2 heavy machine gun to fire at the Germans. In an hour of fighting, he killed 50 Germans alone.
Remember, this is a person and this is a real event. Even TV dramas may not dare to act like this
Secondly, the M2 heavy machine gun has a simple structure and adopts an air-cooled design. It does not need to carry a water tank or fill it with water during wartime. More flexible than the Maxim machine gun.
After adopting the heavy barrel design, the barrel has a service life of 10,000 rounds, and the barrel can be replaced relatively simply at any time without the need for special tools.
Liao Mingyu had automatically ignored the Willys Jeep at this time. All I can see is the perfect heavy machine gun that has been used by the US military for nearly a century!
"Ding, host, please continue to explain what you need. If nothing goes wrong, the system will temporarily go offline."
The cold voice of the system interrupted Liao Mingyu who was having sex.
"What's the point of urging? You'll know how to urge every day!"
"Help me see how many points I have left. I want to change the uniforms of the troops!"
Liao Mingyu gave a high-spirited sermon. It’s not easy. After struggling for so long, although I can’t say that I am extremely rich, I can still be considered a wealthy family. Finally, I no longer have to live as tight a life as before.
"Ding, the host has 58933 remaining points."
Liao Mingyu thought for a while and decided to arrange it according to his planned standard regiment. In order to reduce logistical pressure, the primary goal was to standardize the gun caliber.
Nowadays, the army is like a brand of universal cards, such as Chinese official, British 77, Bren type, Czech type, 38 type, Thomson... I can't even count them with two hands. The messy firearms bring terrible logistical pressure.
"Uncle System, help me unlock the M1 Garand rifle."
When it comes to individual weapons in World War II, the ones most suitable for large-scale deployment to troops are the few semi-automatic rifles. Among them, Garland and G43 are the leaders.
On the battlefield in Myanmar, infantry light weapons can best be supplemented by American equipment. Therefore, this most famous semi-automatic rifle of World War II was chosen as the basic weapon of the Sichuan Army.
The M1 rifle uses 7.62mm bullets, has high shooting accuracy, is easy to disassemble and clean, and has high reliability and is suitable for various battlefield environments. It is an excellent individual weapon. In the Pacific War, two or three American soldiers holding Garands could often suppress the firepower of an infantry squad of the Japanese army.
The ammunition supply method of the M1 rifle is quite unique. A steel leaking magazine containing a double row of 8 bullets is pressed into the magazine from the top of the receiver. When the last bullet is fired, the gun is empty and the magazine is automatically removed by the ejector. When the magazine is ejected, a crisp "hiccup" sound will be made to remind the soldier to reload the bullet.
And being on the battlefield in Myanmar, I will definitely have to deal with Americans in the future. 7.62mm bullets can also be obtained by them, and it does not necessarily have to be exchanged through the system.
You can also say hello to the head of state from home, but maybe there is nothing else. You have to take care of the 7.92 bullets. At least it is not that difficult to obtain these two caliber bullets in the army.
“Ding, there is only one opportunity to redeem and unlock level 3 system points per month, and the unlocking scope must not exceed the current time and space timeline too much.
Due to the first upgrade, the host will be given two chances. Now there is only one left. It will be unlocked in the next month after it is used up, and cannot be accumulated in the following month. Please keep this in mind, host.
The American-made M1 Garand rifle requires 1,200 points to unlock, and the exchange price for a single weapon is 16 points. Unlocked? "
"I'll come here once a month with you, just like a girl." Liao Mingyu was speechless. Can this system have any more tricks?
"Confirm the unlocking and redeem 1,000 of them for me first."
"Ding, unlocked and redeemed successfully, a total of 17,200 points were spent."
It's so expensive. It seems that no matter what kind of weapon it is, it will cost a huge amount of money. Otherwise, how can we say that the troops are gold-eating beasts?
"Go on, give me 80 M2 heavy machine guns first."
"Ding, the price of the M2 heavy machine gun is 60 points. The redemption is successful, and the total cost is 4,800 points."
As for the submachine gun, I spent a long time choosing among the unlocked models, and finally chose the M3 oil gun because of the cost-effectiveness.
Thomson costs 20 points, while Somi costs 28 points. Moreover, Thomson is too heavy and not very flexible for Chinese soldiers. Suomi is more delicate and not suitable for humid and complex jungle environments.
After thinking about it, the M3 is the most suitable. Firstly, it is cheap, only 11 points per gun. Secondly, it is also a .45 caliber and has about the same power as the Thomson. Although the rate of fire is much lower, the gun body is light. A lot more, and the structure is simpler. Overall, the best value for money.
"Bring me 500 M3 submachine guns!"
"Ding, the redemption was successful, the total cost is 5,500 points."
In this way, the soldiers' light weapons are considered adequate. With this firepower configuration, it is not a boast. When the two regiments of Yu Division come, they have to call daddy.
Liao Mingyu spent another 10,000 points to redeem nearly 100,000 rounds of various bullets and mortar shells. Even though 100,000 rounds of ammunition is more than enough, it's really not much for everyone if rationed.
Moreover, it would be too much of a loss to just redeem bullets with points. If you can buy them with oceans, that would be the best.
There is still just over 20,000 yuan left... It's really easy to spend money but hard to make money. After one operation, more than half of his points were removed, and the total cost was more than 37,000.
After thinking about what weapon to exchange for the last unlocking opportunity, Liao Mingyu decided between the MG42 and the 60mm mortar.
Let’s start with the 60 gun. Now that we have the Czech style, it’s a bit uneconomical to unlock the MG42. Although he knows how terrifying the Führer’s Cloth Tearer is, the terrifying rate of fire is probably not what he can afford now.
Moreover, when this thing comes out, it will require a large quantity for installation. Now there are not many points left, and the deliberate pursuit of perfection will only lead to lower achievements. Just get it out in front of the reworked Nantianmen, Liao Mingyu thought.
As a medium and close range support weapon at the company and platoon level, the 60mm mortar is undoubtedly the most suitable. It weighs less than 20 kilograms and can be carried around by a soldier. The maximum range is 1.8 kilometers. Both range and accuracy are much better than the little devil's grenade. It can completely cover medium and short range firepower with the 81mm medium force.
The M2-style 60mm mortar requires 800 points to unlock, and the redemption price for a single unit is 50 points. Liao Mingyu gritted his teeth and unlocked and redeemed 40 doors again. Another 2800 points were spent.
"Let's do this for now. What about my four Krupp 105 howitzers? How are you going to send them to me? This thing is really not something I can conjure up by magic somewhere."
Liao Mingyu raised the biggest question in his heart.
"Ding, all exchange and warehouse items of the host will be delivered to the host's troops at the end of the month in the form of military merit rewards. The host will just pay attention to check them when the time comes."
Okay, this should be the best way.
I gritted my teeth again and spent 3,000 points to redeem five Diamond T 968 trucks and several hundred liters of gasoline. If you don't have a car, what equipment can you use to pull a cannon?
Calculating it this way, there are still about 15,000 points left out of 58,000, so I have to keep them for emergencies.
Looking at the points that had shrunk again, Liao Mingyu felt as distressed as an old miser. Do you think it's easy to save this little wealth? It's like marrying a wife. Almost all of it is spent on one trip.
…
In the evening, Liao Mingyu called Long Wenwen and Meng Fanle.
"This is the personnel arrangement I drew up yesterday. It was calculated based on the initial establishment of our Sichuan Army Corps of 1,000 people. I didn't expect that it would now become a reinforced regiment. I have made changes to the details. You can take a look. "
Liao Mingyu took out several handwritten notes and handed them to both of them.
"Let's see, you two can be considered my confidants. If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them."
Long Wenwen took the document with a smile and said to Liao Mingyu:
"Although the head of state gave us a strengthened regiment, he didn't mention it at all in terms of personnel rationing. We still have to rely on ourselves in this regard. Let's organize two to three battalions first, and we will slowly figure out a way later."
"It's good to provide equipment for the establishment. What else are you choosing? You just don't know what's in the batch of supplies promised by the head of state."
Meng Fandai had a different opinion. He had been a stepmother's miscellaneous army for too long, and now he became a direct descendant, and he felt very satisfied in an instant.
"By the way, Captain, what did Director Dai say in the telegram he gave you?"
