"up to now."
Brigade Headquarters.
The summary meeting of the 386th Brigade is being held:
"The Thirty-Eighth Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the New Second Regiment have all completed the change of uniforms."
"Especially the 772nd Regiment and the New Second Regiment, which are generally equipped with a large number of submachine guns. Each regiment has more than ten 60mm mortars and fifty grenade launchers, excluding barrel guns. Their firepower is more intense than the Japanese troops of the same size."
"The 772nd Regiment has adapted to the new equipment and formed combat effectiveness."
"As for the new second regiment, it will take some time, and it is expected to form combat effectiveness by the end of the month."
"OK!"
The brigade commander smiled from ear to ear.
At this moment, he really had thoughts about Shandao United.
He had seen the equipment of the 772nd Regiment.
The whole regiment has twelve 60mm mortars, fifty-four grenade launchers, one hundred and eight Czech guns, and more than a thousand submachine guns. Its close-range firepower is much stronger than that of a Japanese regiment.
If Li Yunlong replaces the equipment of another regiment in May, then the 386th Brigade, even if it is not an independent regiment, will have four main regiments with stronger light firepower than a Japanese regiment.
Plus independent group.
As long as the Shandao Regiment is attracted to the mountains, total annihilation is unlikely.
But there is absolutely no problem if the Shandao unit is severely damaged or even annihilated.
"Replenish the submachine guns of the 38th Regiment."
The brigade commander suddenly said:
"In the second phase of the company and platoon officer training course, the quotas will be given to these three regiments first."
The brigade commander decided to strengthen these three regiments first.
"yes!"
The brigade chief of staff immediately went to execute it.
····
"82 Mortar."
Independent regiment.
Artillery company commander Xu Ping, political commissar Zhao Gang, regiment leader Li Yunlong and others all stood in the training ground, looking at a brand new 82 mortar on a gun emplacement.
Li Yunlong's eyes shone brightly, and his mouth smiled like a flower.
Zhao Gang was also smiling.
As for Xu Ping, the laughter came out of the corner of his mouth.
"The new gun is much more advanced than the Type 20 we commonly use."
Wiping the corners of his mouth, Xu Ping spoke excitedly:
"The Type 20 has a range of only three kilometers, and this new gun has a range of 3,500 meters."
"It is also more powerful. The shell weighs 4.5 kilograms, has a charge of 700 grams, and has prefabricated fragments. The explosion power and killing range are greater, as well as the number of fragments."
“The accuracy is also an order of magnitude higher.”
"The most important thing is that this kind of gun only weighs fifty kilograms."
"How many?"
Li Yunlong suddenly widened his eyes.
"Fifty kilograms."
"The base plate, barrel, and mount are only 55 kilograms in total."
Xu Ping was completely unaware of the laughter dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The weight of this artillery was what pleased him the most.
"Fifty kilograms."
Li Yunlong finally understood why Xu Ping, an artillery master who had seen all kinds of good artillery in foreign countries, would stay behind.
The total weight of fifty kilograms is a full 19 kilograms lighter than the civilian 20-type 82 mortar currently used by the army, and is almost the same weight as an American-style 60 mortar.
what does that mean?
This means that the maneuverability of this artillery is much stronger than that of the Min-20.
It may not matter to foreign troops.
But for troops whose main activities are in mountainous areas, who often fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese in the mountains, who use people on their backs and shoulders as the main force for transportation, and who mainly engage in mobile warfare, it is simply too important.
In the past, the Min-20 mortar was disassembled and carried by three people. The heaviest person had to carry 25 kilograms. Adding dry food, water bags, etc., the overall load reached more than 35 kilograms.
This weight, coupled with the need to cope with high-intensity rapid marches in mountainous areas during battles, is already a bit difficult for even monks and even Shabang.
And how many people in the independent group are as physically capable as Shabang and the monks?
Once the new artillery arrived, the soldier with the heaviest load lost seven kilograms.
Seven kilograms!
Don’t underestimate these seven kilograms.
If you carry seven kilograms less, you can run several kilometers more, and your speed can be two or three minutes faster.
"Not bad."
Li Yunlong was simply too satisfied.
But at this time, Li Yunlong thought of the long-term cooperation, that 60 mortar weighed only 19 kilograms, which was lighter than the American 60 mortar currently used by the independent regiment, but had a range of up to 3,500 meters.
as well as,
In order to give him more motivation to annihilate the Japanese flag guard team and seize the regiment flag, the newly added 82 mortar weighs less than 40 kilograms but has a range of 5,700 meters.
"Old Zhao."
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang:
"let's start."
"Building roads?"
Zhao Gang asked.
"right."
"Build the road!"
"Starting tomorrow, we will expand the mountain horse road from Yangcun to Shangcun."
Li Yunlong's tone was affirmative:
"It's time to lure the old devil from Shandao over!"
With the regiment's 54 82-mm mortars in hand, and the 54 60-mm mortars in hand, the entire independent regiment has more than 3,500 people and more than 100 artillery pieces of various calibers.
And the per capita ammunition amount of the entire regiment has been increased to 2,000 rounds, and the total ammunition amount of the entire regiment has been increased to 7 million rounds.
There are thirty-six thousand grenade grenades, 60-mm mortar shells, and 82-mm mortar shells.
The Independent Regiment is already capable of giving the Shandao Regiment a big attack in the mountainous area.
Of course, in the battle with Shandao Regiment, the weapons and ammunition consumed can be applied to Brother Lu separately.
But if a Japanese regiment comes to attack Yangcun, the brigade and other regiments will definitely react and come with reinforcements to block the Shandao regiment, and there may even be a large-scale field battle with the Shandao regiment.
The ammunition, as well as the weapons, were for other regiments.
"good."
Zhao Gang nodded happily.
Militarily, he was inferior to Li Yunlong, so the decision-making power was left to Li Yunlong.
But he started the battle with Shandao United ahead of time, and he raised his hands to support it.
Every week in advance, you can get one more kind of material.
There are not many weapons and equipment in the current list. Although it will be mentioned later that there are tanks, aircraft and artillery, Brother Lu also said that at least for a long time, there will be no powerful weapons and equipment in the list.
They are all rewards after the cooperation is completed.
For example, two new mortars of the regiment flag were captured this time.
But other supplies are also urgently needed in the base area.
Those large quantities of medicines, military horses, steel bars, and cement are all materials that are in urgent need in the base area.
even,
Yesterday, Boss Lu also hinted that after the long-term cooperation in annihilation is completed, silver coins will also appear in the list.
Unlimited silver dollars.
Have as many silver dollars as you want.
Silver dollars!
Today, with the continuous depreciation of legal currency, it is currently the most difficult currency in the country and the most trusted by the people.
What was the war about?
It is the economy, that is, national finance.
It's industry.
There is no way to speed up the industry, but with the support of Boss Luo, the problem of weapons and equipment is not big. It may not be possible to equip all heavy weapons, but it is enough to save light weapons and ammunition.
But the economy.
As long as there are silver dollars in the list, Zhao Gang can collect millions of silver dollars a month, or even more.
For this, we have to thank the current preserved fruit.
The Central Bank of Preserved Fruit buys and sells silver dollars there, and exchanges the silver dollars for legal currency at the price five years ago.
As long as for this reason, any silver dollar approved by Boss Lu can be doubled dozens of times.
And what Boss Lu said, unlimited silver dollars, clearly hinted at them to apply hard!
Just a little less... I'll make it up tomorrow.
