My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 278

"Huh? Bofors 75 mountain cannon."

I remember that this gun was also installed in the national army, and there were several guns in Yu Xiaoqing's artillery regiment.

Liao Mingyu's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow. Although it was far from what he expected, this artillery also had its unique features.

"Ding... The M1922 was imported by the government, but this time it is the improved 24-diameter M1934 from Bofors. Compared with the prototype, the increased diameter increases its range and accuracy. also slightly improved.

It adopts split feeding, with a maximum range of 10.2 kilometers and a maximum rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute.The whole weight is 800 kilograms, and the exchange unit price: 300 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 stage of the Anti-Japanese War, it was very legendary in the Chinese battlefield. It can be said that it was 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 with a larger elevation angle and can be broken down into several parts groups to facilitate logistical transportation.

The biggest feature of this gun is its high precision and long range. Although it is loaded in separate packages, it can reach a range of 10 kilometers when fired with the largest 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, as a mountain artillery, the accuracy of this product is frighteningly high. Compared with the Japanese Type 41 mountain artillery, which has always been better in accuracy, the accuracy is more than 50%. It can be called the sniper rifle in the mountain cannon.

Although the tonnage is relatively heavy compared to ordinary mountain cannons, Bofors can be quickly disassembled into eight to ten parts, and quickly transported away by mules and horses. It has high mobility and is very suitable for complex terrain and backward traffic. the battlefield in western Yunnan.

Such a 75mm caliber artillery with a long range, high precision, and easy transportation can fully undertake all the heavy responsibilities of regiment-level support firepower.

Under the ultra-high accuracy, even undertrained artillery can use this artillery to achieve a good hit rate. Now the weapons of the artillery battalions of the three main regiments can be regarded as available.

The only shortcoming is that this kind of artillery is only a mountain artillery after all. Compared with other heavy artillery, there is still a certain gap in power, and it cannot undertake large-scale cover and support tasks.

But as a regiment-level artillery weapon, it is more than enough. 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 continue 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 throw away my arms and build it. I simply exchanged 36 Bofors mountain guns, 12 105 howitzers and 4 155 howitzers, plus 18 German-made PAK37 anti-aircraft guns. The cannon is a weapon that was accidentally unlocked when attacking Nantianmen. It is used to make up for the lack of direct-pointing weapons for troops.

In this way, the divisional artillery regiment had 24 105-caliber and 12 155-caliber howitzers, which completely crushed an artillery regiment of the Japanese army in terms of heavy firepower.

The three regiment artillery battalions also have 12 75-caliber mountain guns and 6 37-caliber anti-aircraft guns, plus 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 supply unit. This is also the main reason why Liao Mingyu wanted to expand the transport regiment and engineering regiment at the beginning.

Even if the firepower goes up, the logistics and transportation capacity must keep up, otherwise it will be really difficult to move an inch in this mountainous and tree-rich western Yunnan and Myanmar.

At the same time, the supplies consumed by the troops had to be resolved. Liao Mingyu exchanged another 200 million rounds of ammunition, 10 shells of various calibers, [-] heavy trucks and [-] tons of gasoline.

There are also a series of military supplies such as explosive detonators, minesweepers, engineering shovels, construction tools and medicines, plus some new military uniforms, bedding, tents and other materials.

Although those things in the back are supplied by the superiors, the quality and quantity are worrying, Liao Mingyu adheres to the idea of ​​letting his soldiers use the best they need, and they are basically supplied by the system, which is easy to use and practical.

"Ding... All the materials have been exchanged successfully, a total of 135667 points have been spent, and the remaining points: 65091 points."

Damn, the more you earn, the more you spend.Seeing the points column that had suddenly shrunk by half, Liao Mingyu was filled with sadness and helplessness.

Now the size of the army is larger than before, and the materials needed have also doubled. The gasoline alone cost him [-] points. This is the case with the elite soldiers. Otherwise, according to ordinary standards, it would not be a problem for him to arm two armies now.

"Master System, you have to make arrangements for such a huge number, so you don't get robbed halfway!" Liao Mingyu said angrily, he didn't want to make any more fools out of it.

"Ding... Don't worry, there will be no problem with me, but with your current reputation, no one would dare to rob you. Who dares to be so disrespectful when the commander always kills as soon as he wants?"

"Hehe..." Liao Mingyu was extremely ashamed, this bastard could make fun of people, and it wouldn't be surprising if it was upgraded further, it would make a big difference.

After doing all this, Liao Mingyu hastily exited the system, because today he still has to inspect the troops, and after so many days, he doesn't know how those guys are doing.

……

In the north of Longling, on the only way to Tengchong, there is a small river named Longjiang. The river is not wide but twists and turns. There are dense jungles and rocks on both sides. There is only a small bridge connecting the two banks.

Long Wenwen and Meng Fanle took the first main force and began to deploy defenses along the Longjiang River, confronting the 113th Wing in Tengchong.

This group of Japanese soldiers was also interesting. They were planning to move to Gaoligong Mountain, but for some reason they suddenly changed their route and headed south.

Finally, they stopped at the north of Longjiang River and faced Long Wenwen and the others across the river. They neither attacked nor retreated. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Just looking at the gang of turtles wandering in the forest every day like this, I'm so fucking lazy!"

With a weed in his mouth, Long Wenwen put his foot on the sandbag, looked at the woods on the other side and talked unhappily, which made him feel as if he had returned to Zenda and sighed at the tortoise shell in Zhu Nei every day.

"Satisfy you, young master, I have to take a group of uncles to climb the mountain every day. Who have I complained about? Sigh... It can't be done. If I continue to practice like this, my legs will definitely be lame."

Meng Fanle sat next to him and rubbed his thigh after working so hard for several days.According to the instructions of the attendant, he would take a battalion of soldiers on a 15-kilometer armed cross-country every day.

"It's annoying, how about we organize a reconnaissance team to explore the wind?" Long Wenwen ignored his complaints, and instead enthusiastically proposed his own ideas.
