Lei Suisheng squatted on the stone mill. He blew out a smoke ring slowly and said slowly:
"When Zhang Erpao was the monitor of the Artillery Department of Baoding Military Academy, I was the teaching director of the Artillery Department."
Ye Anran was shocked. He didn't expect that the Northeast Army was really talented.
No wonder Lao Lei can be the commander of the artillery brigade.
Zhang Erpao is not easy either. The last time he competed with him, he said he had been playing cannon for more than ten years.
I thought he relied solely on experience, but I didn't expect that he had a major.
Under the night sky, Ye Anran thought of Xiaoleizi, the sacrificed forward scout of the artillery brigade.
No wonder Lao Lei was relieved that Xiao Leizi learned the craft from Zhang Erpao, as Zhang Erpao was the artilleryman brought out by Lao Lei.
Lei Sui took a puff of his cigarette and touched Ye Anran with his arm.
"How about I give you five 105mm field guns and thirty rounds of artillery shells?"
During the battle at Jiangqiao, Lei Suisheng watched Ye Anran brave a hail of bullets to snatch back his nephew's body.
From that time on, he regarded Ye Anran as a brother.
Ye Anran tilted his head and looked at the sincere and honest Lei Suisheng, "Aren't you afraid that the commander will fire you if he finds out?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not selling it!"
"Besides, you are also from the 101st Division."
"Don't mention that your regiment has an artillery battalion. Even if it doesn't and you need artillery reinforcements, our artillery brigade will definitely support you."
Ye Anran was very moved by Lei Suisheng's heartfelt words.
He looked at Lei Suisheng and said, "We don't want your cannons. We'll give you 15 more 105mm field guns, plus 3,000 rounds of artillery shells."
"What?"
Lei Suisheng accidentally fell from the stone to the ground.
After he got up, he looked at Ye Anran in great surprise.
My heart was pounding.
Since the establishment of the artillery brigade, the commanders of each unit have asked whether they want artillery or artillery shells.
If not, the infantry will be asked to use more artillery before charging.
He had been a brigade commander for so long. Except for Ma Jinshan, who had given him a few Bofors 1930 75mm mountain guns when he had taken out Hecheng Arsenal and Fengtian Arsenal, the rest of the artillery was basically captured.
Lei Suisheng swallowed, his pupils were bright, and he stared at Ye Anran and said: "Brother Ye, don't make trouble with me."
"I'm a person who can't bear to worry about things. We can't get 3,000 rounds of 105mm high-explosive bombs here at all."
He had little interest in the fifteen field guns proposed by Ye Anran.
Having artillery but no ammunition is the artillery's greatest helplessness on the battlefield.
These guns are all imported, and the specifications and production lines of the shells are basically not available in China.
Many of the field artillery captured by the troops on the battlefield were basically disposable. After firing the shells, they even did not hesitate to blow them up, dismantle and bury them.
Ye Anran squatted on the stone mill and looked at Lei Suisheng who was as excited as a child celebrating the New Year.
"Who said it can't be produced?"
"Vice Chairman Ye, what you said is not true, is it?" Lei Suisheng still couldn't believe it...
"real."
Ye Anran smiled and replied to him.
At noon, he received a call from Jin Yinan because a large number of students from the industrial school poured into the arsenal.
The machine currently operates 24 hours a day.
In the 27 days since Jin Yinan received the mission, they have produced 20 Krupp 105mm field guns and 4,000 rounds of artillery shells.
He seized five field guns and 1,000 rounds of artillery shells and left them with Zhang Erpao.
The rest must be given to the artillery brigade.
The current artillery battalion of the Shadow Regiment has eight field guns, and adding five more will make 13 guns.
For a regiment-level combat unit, it is quite sufficient.
You know, Lei Sui had an artillery brigade with only 15 field guns.
Under the moonlight, Ye Anran took Lei Suisheng to the arsenal.
The workshop is brightly lit, and most of the lathe and other positions are occupied by shirtless young people.
They have the skills, the ability, and the speed to do the work.
When Jin Yinan learned that Ye Anran was coming, he ran all the way to the outside of the workshop.
As Jin Yinan entered the Krupp production line, the machines kept making buzzing sounds.
The entire production line starts from seamless steel pipes and ends with various parts on the artillery. It is basically an assembly line work.
The workers endured the high temperature in the workshop and worked non-stop as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
On the other side of the workshop, two rows of Krupp 105mm field guns painted green are placed on the clean concrete floor.
Outside the field artillery, in a steel structure bunker, there were boxes and boxes of armor-piercing and high-explosive bombs.
Lei Suisheng stroked the brand-new artillery. He lay on the barrel and smelled the smell of paint.
When he followed Jin Yinan and saw the copper-yellow cannonball, he was completely shocked.
"Oh my God!"
"Our Northeastern Army artillery brigade has achieved something today!"
"With these cannonballs, let alone defending Crane City, we can hit Lincheng (Xinjing) and let that old bastard Shigeru Benjo meet the King of Hell!"
Ye Anran leaned against the Krupp cannon.
The current fully functional production line was imported from Germany by the Japanese.
The only drawback is that there is only one production line.
While Lei Suisheng went "crazy", Ye Anran realized that he had entered the universal tool box.
"Host, you came at the right time. I need you to give me a fair evaluation. Are you satisfied with my service?"
"If you can give me Miss Qiu, I will be satisfied."
"Host, please destroy it."
"..."
Ye Anran faced the NPC saluting him, what should he say?
He is still very satisfied!
Of course, he still clearly remembers 50,000 points and one broken muffler!
"satisfy."
"Thank you, host, for your high praise of me."
"To express my gratitude to you, I plan to give you a small gift."
"what gift?"
Ye Anran was very curious. He didn't expect that after he said he was satisfied, there would be an unexpected surprise.
Tell me earlier!
If I had told you earlier, I would have been satisfied.
"The complete set of production components of the FH18-150mm Asian theater customized heavy-duty vehicle-mounted towed howitzer is being deciphered. The current progress is 1%, and it is expected to be fully deciphered in thirty days."
"The FH18-150mm multifunctional artillery shell production line is being deciphered. The current progress is 1% and it is expected to be completely deciphered in thirty days."
"The rare strategic metal-tungsten ore purification technology platform is being deciphered, and the progress is 1%. It is expected to be completely deciphered in thirty days."
Ye Anran stood in front of the NPC, dumbfounded.
Brother, you are so reliable!
Even the key technology platform for manufacturing tungsten alloy steel has been deciphered.
Back then, Germany engaged in arms trade with China because of China's rare strategic metal tungsten ore.
In 1934, China's tungsten ore accounted for 80% of the world's total production, and the mining volume in South China ranked first in Asia.
It was obviously a good thing, but Ye Anran felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and he was completely confused.
Is this a cashback for NPC’s positive reviews? ? ?
Isn’t this too exciting to play?
Ye Anran is very familiar with the FH18-150mm heavy howitzer, which weighs 7 tons and is equipped with grenades and armor-piercing projectiles. The projectile weighs 42 kilograms.
The maximum range is 13 kilometers.
In 1934, the Military and Administrative Department of the Jinling Government recommended the establishment of a new heavy howitzer unit.
After the suggestion was adopted, 24 FH 18 mm caliber heavy howitzers were customized from Rheinmetall, which was bidding at the same time, on the recommendation of the German military consultant.
The gun had a range of only 13 kilometers at the time, and the national army required a range of 15 kilometers.
Rheinland Company modified the 30x gun barrel and made it into a 32x15cm heavy howitzer, referred to as the 32x15 howitzer!
According to the price in 1934, a howitzer cost 840,000 French currency. With the purchasing power of two scalpers for 100 French currency at that time, one cannon required 16,000 scalpers.
A regiment of howitzers requires 20.88 million French currency.
Even though the Jinling government spent money, it could not use the 150mm howitzer in 1935. Germany imposed a comprehensive arms embargo on China in 1935.
It was not delivered to the national army until the end of 1936. After the artillery was put in place, the national army established a mechanized artillery regiment, which successively participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the expedition into Myanmar with the expeditionary force, etc.
Don’t say anything else.
You have to salute the NPC.
Ye Anran's heart was surging. He faced the NPC and stood at attention to salute.
"Brother, on behalf of the Chinese people who are suffering, I want to say thank you."
NPC: "Host, the Asian theater version of the 150mm howitzer uses a sight gauge with distance differentiation, and does not completely rely on dense position measurement."
"This gun is different from the German 30x15 grenade ammunition. The barrel, breech block, station retreat system, balancing machine, large rack, upper rack, auxiliary hoe, sighting system, and firing table are all different."
"Artillerymen are requested to study the firing briefing in detail before using it."
Above the task bar, Ye Anran saw a thick launch brief.
The NPC is still very conscientious, and the simple launch of 32 times 15 pomegranates does not require deciphering.
He can receive it directly.
It was exactly one month before the deciphering was completed. Ye Anran took the book and prepared to give it to Lei Suisheng for careful study.
He originally wanted to come in and ask the NPC if he could reproduce the Krupp 105mm heavy artillery production line.
Now, Ye Anran has no interest.
But I still asked, it would take seven days and 20,000 points to decipher the current production line.
Ye Anran wrote it down, and his consciousness left the universal tool box.
He also had an extra book in his hand. Fortunately, there was no one around. Lei Suisheng and Jin Yinan focused on the heavy artillery.
No one noticed him.
When Lei Suisheng was about to sigh, Ye Anran walked over. Before he could speak, Lei Suisheng spoke: "Vice Chairman Ye, you are so awesome!"
"Unexpectedly, our artillery brigade will be successful in the future, and we no longer have to follow the Japanese to search for artillery shells!!"
"Okay, don't be sad, find time to take me away, and the rest will help me send the shadow group!"
Lei Suisheng nodded heavily and responded: "Yes!"
Ye Anran looked at Jin Yinan who was accompanying him, "Old Jin, you have worked hard during this time."
"You think about it, find a piece of land nearby. After this battle, we will build a gun factory here. If nothing else happens, you will still be the director of the factory!"
Jin Yinan: "Thank you, Vice Chairman Ye. Please rest assured, Vice Chairman Ye, I will do it right away."
He looked at Ye Anran in shock. He really couldn't figure out where those advanced equipment came from!
However, Jin Yinan could only obey.
He doesn't feel much about the war between the two armies now. He just wants to stay in Hecheng Arsenal as a technical controller. The most important thing is to have a leader like Ye Anran who exceeds his expectations.
Ye Anran and Lei Suisheng left the workshop and got to the car.
He handed the 150mm howitzer firing summary to Lei Suisheng, "Study it when you have time, and try to understand the contents as soon as possible!"
Lei Suisheng took the launch briefing. He looked at Ye Anran who was driving in confusion. Under the moonlight, he could only make out the big characters.
"Brother Ye, we used to be the dean of the artillery department. If we were to shoot a cannon and still read the firing briefing, wouldn't we be insulted by Lao Lei?"
Ye Anran drove to the provincial capital.
He glanced at Lei Suisheng jokingly, "What's the largest caliber cannon you've ever fired?"
