In addition, the Eighth Route Army currently lacks a platoon-level fire support weapon like a mortar, such as in the subsequent battle with the Japs.
This M2 60 mortar can play a huge role, especially when small groups of troops are fighting. The Eighth Route Army has M2 mortars in hand.
You don't have to be afraid of the grenades in the hands of the little devils. After all, you will definitely not bring those heavy weapons in a small-scale combat operation like this.
You can't say that for a battle involving hundreds of people, you have to drag an 88mm anti-aircraft gun onto the battlefield, right? This is obviously impossible.
Only in large-scale operations will the 88mm anti-aircraft gun be used, for no other reason than because the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is a big thing.
It is very troublesome to carry. Like the Mustache, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is carried to the front line in a large truck, but the Eighth Route Army currently does not have such a large truck.
Therefore, soldiers can only be used to carry it, but this way, it is not so convenient to carry, so it is not a large-scale battle.
You will definitely not bring an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. In that case, then choose a portable artillery from the system store, which is this mortar.
Ever since, after purchasing the M2 60 mortar, Su Yu took out all these technical drawings, which took less than ten minutes.
After digesting it all, as usual, he handed over the machine tools and equipment raw materials to Wang Ming.
When the leader on the other side heard that Subei had developed another weapon, he was shocked. Good guy, how long did it take for the 88mm anti-aircraft gun to be developed?
After just over a week of hard work, another weapon was developed, a mortar. To be honest, what the Eighth Route Army currently lacks most is heavy weapons.
Although this mortar is not considered a heavy weapon, it is easy to carry, powerful and has a considerable range.
For the Eighth Route Army, it is already a heavy weapon. In terms of light weapons, the Eighth Route Army's M1 Garand rifle and DP light machine gun almost meet their needs for light weapons.
In terms of light weapons, these two weapons almost complement the shortcomings of the Eighth Route Army. The current Eighth Route Army only lacks heavy weapons.
For example, various large-caliber artillery, howitzers, armored vehicles, even main battle tanks, fighter jets, etc.
Once these heavy weapons are released, the overall improvement to the Eighth Route Army will be huge, just like the M2 60 mortar purchased by Subei.
After the chief learned the news, he immediately mobilized his network to find the needed materials for Su Bei.
Because the chief knew very well that if this mortar could be mass-produced, it would be in a localized conflict with the Japs.
............
The Eighth Route Army will no longer have a disadvantage. The two sides can truly achieve a 50-50 situation. The little devil's grenade can't compare to the M2 60 mortar in Su Bei's hands.
However, the Little Japanese side has an extra heavy machine gun, but the Eighth Route Army has a DP light machine gun, in terms of firepower.
The firepower of the DP light machine gun can completely suppress the little devil's crooked light machine gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun, but there is one aspect.
The Eighth Route Army is still weak in terms of grenades. The grenades of the Little Devil are very lethal and can produce a lot of fragments when they explode.
This can achieve the effect of killing surrounding enemy troops. On the other hand, the grenades on the Eighth Route Army's side were made in the border area.
Once thrown out, it can only explode into two pieces. It is much more lethal than the little devil's grenade, so it is the next weapon of Su Bei.
It's just grenades. When the killing points in my hands are a little richer, I will buy a grenade.
Ever since, after Su Yu completed the purchase of the technical drawings of this mortar, the troops below became busy again.
It is a very vivid explanation of the scene where the person above moves his mouth and the person below runs and breaks his leg.
No, on the other side, Li Yunlong, who had just rested, received instructions from the leader again.
When looking at the information on the intelligence, Li Yunlong called Kong Jie and Zhao Gang over again.
"Old Kong, Old Zhao, the chief has come on another mission. This time it's a new batch of materials. Take a look, Old Zhao, to see if there are any you are familiar with."
Like last time, Li Yunlong handed the above materials to Kong Jie and Zhao Gang. Among the three of them, only Zhao Gang was a real college graduate.
Therefore, he is well-informed, unlike himself and Kong Jie, who have not studied for a few days, which is the so-called mud-legged background.
After the two received the information, they took a brief look at it and frowned, only to see Kong Jie muttering.
"Old Li, didn't we just complete the leader's task two days ago? We finally collected all the materials, and we haven't even had two days' rest."
"Why is it needed again from above? As a result, our independent group has no time to develop. It has been so long and the hundreds of brothers our independent group has lost have not yet been replaced."
In response, Li Yunlong also looked at him angrily.
"You kid, this is a task assigned by the chief. If you have any objections, you can go to the chief and tell them."
Well, when Kong Jie heard this, he immediately lost his temper. Unlike Li Yunlong, who was spoiled by the chief's treasure, he didn't have the courage.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie and continued to speak.
"I know what you are thinking. You just feel that these missions have slowed down the development of our independent regiment. But you have to know, whether it is this time or the last mission."
"Not only did our independent regiment receive the order from the leader, but as far as I know, even other troops also did the same, such as Ding Wei's New Second Regiment and Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment."
"Everyone has received the news. Although I don't know the specific purpose of this batch of materials, I guess it has something to do with our Taihang Mountain Arsenal."
"If I'm not wrong, this must be related to Director Su. Since it is what Director Su needs, then even if the director did not issue this task order."
"We also have to find a way to get him. Speaking of which, our independent group owes Director Su two favors, if Director Su hadn't told the chief last time."
"If the task of robbing the Japanese train is given to our independent group, maybe our independent group will still be known as dough."
"That's how you turned around so quickly. Besides, that time Director Su robbed the kid's train in order to sponsor our independent group."
