Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 526 Investigation
The next sentence Skinner asked: "I heard you need anti-aircraft fire, anti-aircraft guns?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin called back and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Skinner was silent for a while, and then called back: "My assistant suggested that you use the Bofors 40MM anti-aircraft gun, Wang! He has worked in the navy. This is an excellent anti-aircraft weapon, and it is quite simple to use!"

Of course Wang Xuexin knew about the Bofors 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun.

This anti-aircraft gun produced in Sweden is widely used in the Allied forces due to its excellent air-to-air performance. Yingjiang warships are equipped with a large number of two-unit and quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns.

There's a reason Skinner says it's "simple to use."

Forbos is a medium-to-short-range anti-aircraft gun. It relies on dense shells to directly hit the target instead of adjusting the time of the shells before firing like the 52K 85mm anti-aircraft gun aided by Mao Xiong...

But Wang Xuexin thought about it and felt that Bofors was not suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

The reason is simple, the war is fought against a system rather than a single equipment.

The Bofors may have excellent anti-air capabilities, but equipping it means maneuvering with and near tanks.

With the Devils' artillery at an absolute advantage, this kind of medium- and short-range anti-aircraft guns has almost no survivability, and the Devils can blow them all up to the sky with only one shot.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin made it very clear from the very beginning: the Eighth Route Army should either be equipped with anti-aircraft firepower that is easy to maneuver and hide, such as anti-aircraft machine guns that can fight against air or ground, or it should be equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a long range.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin said: "We need an anti-aircraft gun with fast maneuvering speed and high firing rate. It is best to be able to tow and maneuver with a range of more than ten kilometers. I wonder if you have this kind of anti-aircraft gun?"

A range of more than ten kilometers means that this anti-aircraft gun can provide fire cover for the Eighth Route Army tanks outside the range of the Devil's 92 infantry gun, otherwise it is meaningless.

"Wait a minute!" Skinner replied, "I need to get in touch with my superiors!"

After more than ten minutes, Skinner replied: "We do have this kind of artillery with a caliber of 90MM and a range of 19 kilometers, but we have just produced this artillery and have not even equipped troops in batches!"

"No problem!" Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "We just give you a try of this artillery!"

"Okay!" Skinner was a little helpless: "It's $6800 a piece, and the shells are $50 a round. How much do you need?"

Wang Xuexin sighed for a while, and replied: "I need twenty guns, each with 2000 rounds of ammunition!"

Wang Xuexin's answer was a bit difficult, because more than 200 million US dollars went to this small amount of firepower, so this war is about money.

But Wang Xuexin had to buy it again, and he had to buy it as soon as possible.

Because if it is late, the Burma Road will be blocked by devils, and the price will be even higher when things are scarce.

"I hope it can be shipped to us as soon as possible!" Wang Xuexin added.

"No problem!" replied Skinner.

Later, Wang Xuexin knew that this was the latest M1A1 anti-aircraft gun developed by Yingjiang. It was urgently put into use by the army.

At this moment, it was Eagle Sauce that was sold to the Huaxia Army before it was needed.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought the matter was settled like this, but Sun Erwei appeared in front of Wang Xuexin two days later to discuss the matter again.

Wang Xuexin was a little surprised by Sun Erwei's appearance. He thought that Sun Erwei had returned to China, but he came here unexpectedly.

Looking at Wang Xuexin's puzzled eyes, Sun Erwei explained: "It's like this. Although we lost our office in Shanghai, the superior thinks it is necessary to deepen contact with you, so I sent me a special trip to deal with the transaction with your army!"

It was only later that Wang Xuexin found out that this was because the Eighth Route Army's impressive performance during this period had changed Yingjiang's attitude towards the Eighth Route Army.

For a long time, Yingjiang has always paid more attention to the recalcitrant army. After all, the recalcitrant army is a regular army with a considerable scale, and its equipment, funds, and source of troops are much better than the Eighth Route Army...and the Eighth Route Army is not even equipped with rifles at this time. Of course, the army could not be seen by Ying Jiang.

Therefore, no matter before or after the war, Yingjiang contacted Huaxia more with stubborn troops, and aid also flowed to stubborn troops.

but now……

Through cooperation and transactions with Wang Xuexin, Ying Jiang was surprised to find that the Eighth Route Army had such strength, especially after the Eighth Route Army captured Yuncheng.

You must know that the Eighth Route Army relied on only [-] tanks, and the stubborn army got far more than this number of tanks.

But the tanks of the recalcitrant army were basically destroyed, captured, or even surrendered by the enemy on the battlefield.

However, the Eighth Route Army was able to make full use of these tanks on the battlefield and achieved good results... The Battle of Yuncheng was indeed a good record. This is Zhongtiao Mountain, which hundreds of thousands of stubborn troops failed to defend, and they still suffered a disastrous defeat Zhongtiao Mountain, the Eighth Route Army took it back with only tens of thousands of people.

In addition, at this time, the devils attacked Ying Jiang again and dragged him into the war, so Ying Jiang needed to help China even more.

Under this demand, Eagle Sauce will consider a question:
With the same amount of equipment and aid, if you give it to the recalcitrant army, you will always lose the battle, but you only need to give the Eighth Route Army a small amount of equipment to win the battle... Obviously, it is more cost-effective to assist the Eighth Route Army, so why not aid the Eighth Route Army at the same time? ?

In this way, it can also put some pressure on the recalcitrant army, lest the recalcitrant army only receive equipment but not fight.

That's why Ying Jiang sent Sun Erwei to Wang Xuexin's side.

But of course, Eagle Sauce sent Sun Erwei to investigate the Eighth Route Army. It wanted to know whether the Eighth Route Army was worthy of support.

When Wang Xuexin knew this, he couldn't help being overjoyed. Does this mean that Yingjiang's aid to China in the future can be divided into two... Not to mention divided into two, at least part of it should go to the Eighth Route Army instead of all to the recalcitrant army Bar!

And a small part of this share is a golden mountain for the Eighth Route Army!

"I'm a little strange, Wang!" Sun Erwei said, "Why did you choose the M1A1 anti-aircraft gun? There are only twenty of them, what can they do? There are hundreds of planes of the devils, once your anti-aircraft gun positions are exposed, You will be bombarded by devils immediately!"

Wang Xuexin thought that this was Sun Erwei's discussion out of consideration of the interests of both parties. After all, the devils are the common enemy at this time, and the Eighth Route Army can play a greater role, which is also good for Yingjiang.

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that this was actually Yingjiang's first inspection of him.
