"Huh? Bofors 75 mountain gun."
I remember that this type of artillery was also installed in the national army, and Yu Xiaoqing had several of them in his artillery regiment.
Liao Mingyu felt mixed feelings. Although it was far from what he expected, this artillery also had its uniqueness.
"Ding... The national government introduced the m1922 model that year, and what was extracted this time was the improved 24-diameter m1934 model of the Bofors Company. Compared with the prototype, the larger caliber increased its range and accuracy. There is also a slight improvement.
It adopts separate ammunition supply, with a maximum range of 10.2 kilometers and a maximum rate of fire of 20 rounds/minute. Total weight is 800 kg, redemption unit price: 400 points.”
Liao Mingyu nodded to express his understanding. He had seen the introduction of this mountain artillery in a magazine before. As the main support weapon of the national army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, it was very legendary on the Chinese battlefield. It could be said to be one of the best mountain artillery in the world at that time. one.
Compared with conventional field guns or cannons, mountain guns usually adopt a lightweight design, have a larger elevation angle, and can be broken down into several parts groups to facilitate logistics and transportation.
The biggest feature of this gun is its high accuracy and long range. Although it uses separate loading, it can reach a range of 10 kilometers when fired with the maximum charge.
You must know that the maximum range of the Japanese Type 41 mountain gun is only about 6 kilometers, and the Bofors Type 1934 is almost catching up with field guns of the same caliber in terms of range.
Moreover, the accuracy of this mountain artillery is frighteningly high. Compared with the Japanese 41-type mountain cannon, which has always been more accurate, its accuracy is more than 50% higher. In the hands of experienced artillerymen, it can achieve the accuracy of a direct-aimed gun. It can be called a sniper rifle among mountain artillery.
Although the tonnage is relatively heavy compared to ordinary mountain artillery, Bofors can be quickly disassembled into eight to ten parts and transported quickly by mules and horses. It has high maneuverability and is very suitable for complex terrain and backward traffic. The battlefield in western Yunnan.
This kind of 75mm caliber artillery with long range, high accuracy and easy transportation can fully bear all the important tasks of regiment-level support firepower.
With ultra-high accuracy, even poorly trained artillery can use this artillery to achieve a good hit rate. Now the weapons of the artillery battalions of the three main regiments are finally available.
The only shortcoming is that this kind of gun is only a mountain gun after all, but there is still a certain gap in power compared with other heavy artillery, and it cannot take on large-scale cover and support tasks.
But it is more than enough as a regimental-level artillery weapon. There are 105 and 155 in large-scale artillery battles, so you don't need to worry about it.
Liao Mingyu thought for a while and decided to improve the artillery unit first. In addition to the regiment-level artillery battalion, the heavy artillery support firepower at the division level must also be increased.
Now that I have money, I can finally build it. I simply exchanged for 36 Bofors mountain guns, 12 105 howitzers and 4 155 howitzers, plus 18 German Pak37 combat defense guns. The cannon is a weapon accidentally unlocked when attacking Nantianmen. It is used to make up for the lack of direct-aiming weapons of the troops.
In this way, the division's artillery regiment had 24 105-caliber and 12 155-caliber howitzers, which completely overwhelmed a Japanese artillery regiment in terms of heavy firepower.
The three regiment-affiliated artillery battalions each have 12 75-caliber mountain guns and 6 37-caliber combat anti-aircraft guns. Coupled with various mortars at the company and battalion level, the firepower configuration is perfect.
The next step is to increase the training of the artillery and the improvement of the baggage troops. This is also the main reason why Liao Mingyu wanted to expand the transportation regiment and engineering regiment in the first place.
As the firepower increases, the logistics and transportation capabilities must keep up, otherwise it will be really difficult to move forward in the mountainous and tree-filled western Yunnan and Myanmar.
At the same time, the supplies consumed by the troops also had to be dealt with. Liao Mingyu exchanged another 2 million rounds of ammunition, 100,000 artillery shells of various calibers, 50 heavy trucks and 50 tons of gasoline.
There are also a series of explosive detonators, minesweepers, engineering shovels, construction tools and other military supplies and medicines, plus some new military uniforms, bedding, tents and other supplies.
Although the latter items are supplied from above, the quality and quantity are worrisome. Liao Mingyu adheres to the idea of letting his soldiers use the best when they need it. Basically, they are supplied by the system, which is easy to use and practical.
"Ding... all the materials were successfully exchanged. The total cost was 135667 points, and the remaining points are: 65091 points."
Damn it, the more you earn, the more you spend. Looking at the points column that suddenly shrank by more than half, Liao Mingyu felt sad and helpless.
Now the size of the army is larger than before, and the materials required have also doubled. Gasoline alone cost him 10,000 points. This is what he takes the route of elite troops. Otherwise, according to ordinary standards, he would not have a problem in arming two armies now.
"Uncle System, you have to make good arrangements for such a huge amount, and don't get robbed halfway again!" Liao Mingyu said bitterly, he didn't want to make any more excuses.
"Ding... don't worry, you won't have any problems with me here, but with your current reputation, I'm afraid no one will dare to rob you. The military commander is always willing to kill people at his word. Who dares to be so open-minded?"
"Haha..." Liao Mingyu was extremely ashamed. This piece of shit was making fun of people. It wouldn't be surprising if it were to be upgraded again.
After doing all this, Liao Mingyu hurriedly exited the system, because he had to inspect the army today, and he didn't know how those guys were doing after so many days here.
…
In the north of Longling, on the only way to Tengchong, there is a small river called Longjiang. The river is not wide but winding. There are dense jungles and rocks on both sides, and only a small bridge connects the two banks.
Long Wenwen and Meng Fanglia led the first main force and began to deploy defenses along the Longjiang River, and started a confrontation with the 113th Regiment in Tengchong.
This group of Japanese troops was interesting. They were originally planning to move to Gaoligong Mountain, but for some reason they suddenly changed their route and headed south.
Finally, they stopped in the north of Longjiang, facing Long Wenwen and others across the river. They neither attacked nor retreated. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"Every day I just look at these turtles wandering around in the woods across from me, and I almost feel like they are out of their minds!"
Long Wenwen held a piece of weed in his mouth and put one foot on the sandbag, looking at the woods on the other side and talking unhappily. This made him feel like he was back in Zenda, looking at the turtle shell in Takeuchi every day and sighing.
"Be content, my dear. Young Master, I have to take a group of elders to climb mountains every day. Who have I complained to? Alas... I can't do it anymore. If I continue to practice like this, my legs will become lame."
Meng Fanglia sat next to him and rubbed his thighs that had been working hard for several days. According to the order of the counselor, he led a battalion of soldiers on a 15-kilometer armed cross-country trip every day.
The three battalions of the regiment rotated every day. The soldiers had rest but he did not. This really made him miserable.
"Excuse me, what do you think we organize a reconnaissance team to explore the wind?" Long Wenwen ignored his complaints and instead put forward his own ideas with great interest. .
