My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 517

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they got good things in the first weapon draw, which greatly boosted Liao Mingyu's confidence.

"Come again, keep smoking!"

"Ding... Heavy weapons are being drawn, please wait... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Bofors M-31 150mm howitzer. The total weight of this gun is 5.5 tons, the initial velocity of the projectile is 530 meters per second, and the maximum range is 14 kilometers. Exchange price: 900 integral."

For the Bofors 150 heavy artillery, Liao Mingyu expressed mixed feelings. Although this thing is also a good heavy firepower, it has no advantage compared with the American 155 grenade.

At the level of the 155 howitzer, the American M114 can basically withstand all combat missions, and in such a long-term battle against Japan, its power and record are obvious to all.

At that time, the Germans liked to stick to a house, but as long as the American artillery fired, the whole house would be wiped out.By the end of World War II, the Germans wanted to rely on street fighting to delay the advance of the United States, but with the help of 155mm cannons, the German dream quickly faded away.

Unlike the Germans who like street fighting, the Japanese prefer to build terrain fortifications. The intersecting trenches and permanent fortifications can make light artillery scratch their heads, but they are also not opponents of 155mm cannons. As long as the distance is close enough, American heavy artillery can take The Japanese positions were blasted into powder, and only the frightened Japanese fled. This was deeply reflected in several positional battles.

But now that the army's heavy firepower has formed its own system, it doesn't make much sense to add a 150mm caliber heavy artillery. It is really tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it.

The system ignored his inner monologue and continued with the last lottery chance:
"Ding... Light weapons are being extracted, please wait... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the German-made Gew43 semi-automatic rifle. The gun uses a short-stroke air-guided method, 10 rounds of magazines for ammunition, and the combat weight is 4.7 kg. The total length of the gun is 1117 mm. The muzzle velocity: 745 m/s, effective range: 800 meters, exchange price: 18 points."

German G43?Oh, why is it always like this?It would be great if this gun came out sooner, Liao Mingyu was even more regretful.

As one of the few semi-automatic rifles in World War II, the name of the G43 may not be as loud as the Garand, but it is not inferior to the latter in terms of weapon performance, and even stronger in some aspects.

American soldiers who used to use it on the European battlefield spoke highly of it. For American soldiers who are used to the "rough" Garand, the G43 is simply an exquisite handicraft, and its ultra-high precision is not inferior to being used as a sniper rifle. Those special-purpose bolted sniper rifles, but the complicated craftsmanship and production costs are destined to prevent him from equipping troops on a large scale like Garland.

If the G43 came out before the Garland, I am afraid that Liao Mingyu would have chosen it as the standard weapon of the army, but it is a pity that it is no longer necessary.

部队现在轻武器方面主要以7.62×63mm步枪弹、.45手枪弹、.50重机枪弹这三款口径为主，像M2卡宾枪都很少装备部队，7.92口径的武器几乎都绝迹了，要额外再多增加一款步枪口径对于后勤来说那简直就是灾难。

However, an excellent weapon like the G43 can be equipped with a small amount for elite troops, such as the Falcon Squad, or the Secret Service Battalion...

Oh right!
Liao Mingyu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Master System, didn't I unlock the stg44 assault rifle before? At that time, it was said that I had to establish a base to exchange it. Now we have everything ready, don't we..."

"Ding...Of course it can be exchanged, as long as the host can bear the corresponding exchange price." The system replied indifferently.

"Ah this..."

If I remember correctly, it seems that a stg44 costs 100 points, and the exchange price is ten times that of ordinary light weapons. It takes hundreds of thousands to arm a regiment.

Liao Mingyu looked at the amount of points he had left. Not counting the increased income of the mining area every day, he only had more than 6 points in his hand, and at most he could exchange them for six hundred stg45s, not including ammunition. You must know this thing It consumes more bullets than a machine gun, so where can I afford it now?

"Master System, can you..."

"Ding...can't."

"Fuck you! I haven't finished yet!" Liao Mingyu scolded angrily, this grandson is too bad.

Unexpectedly, the system does not accept this set at all, and explained unhurriedly: "Ding... I know what you think, but stg44 is a second-level weapon. If you want to reduce the exchange cost, please upgrade the main base to second-level. Not only stg44 is cheap, but all WWII weapons will greatly reduce the exchange price."

The helpless Liao Mingyu had no choice but to admit his cowardice, and then asked: "Then what are the conditions for upgrading?"

"Ding... The secondary main base needs to continue to expand the base area, the minimum requirement is 20 square kilometers, and the points required for upgrading are 100 million..."

"Okay... Hurry up and stop, this is not the life our family can yearn for for the time being..."

Liao Mingyu was very melancholy, the requirements were so high, and even if he exhausted himself, he would not be able to meet the requirements. The land was fine, and only 100 million yuan was enough for him to save for a long time without eating or drinking.

Don't look at the fact that going to the base station from the mine can bring a lot of income every month, but the military expenditure and logistics are astronomical. To feed these tens of thousands of elites and those aircraft, tanks and cannons, just think about how much it will cost. Without system support, Liao Mingyu would have collapsed long ago.

"Ding...the host doesn't need to be sad in secret. The secondary main base will unlock the dock system. With the high-tech technology in the late World War II, these are indispensable if you want to truly become bigger and stronger."

The comfort of the system made him feel a little better. If you want to talk about the high-tech technology in the late World War II, apart from the sea overlord and the jet-jet eagle in the air, isn't it just a mushroom...

As for the road, you have to walk slowly, and everything you should have will be there.

于是廖铭禹先在系统中兑换了100支stg44，以及7.92×33毫米短弹3万发，好在子弹跟普通弹药价格一样，但就这么点东西也花了将1万多积分。

Ding Xiaoer, who was driving at this moment, was smoking a cigarette with one hand resting on the car window, looking extremely relaxed and relaxed.

As the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. After staying with Liao Mingyu, a big smoker, for a long time, he inevitably got into the habit of smoking.

Beep!Beep!

Just as he was idling on the steering wheel in every possible way, a jeep drove up and honked its horn anxiously at them.

Ding Xiaoer stopped quickly, and when the other party approached, he poked his head out and asked, "What are you doing, you guys?"

"Report sir, just received an urgent telegram from the front line, please take a look at it!"

A communications soldier jumped out of the car, ran over in a hurry and shouted.

At this moment, Liao Mingyu, who was sitting on the co-pilot with his eyes closed, had a strange expression on his face. He was happy and depressed for a while, which made people feel a little creepy.

Ding Xiaoer has long been used to the strangeness, and Liao Mingyu often sits alone in a daze, with extremely rich expressions, sometimes gnashing his teeth, and sometimes laughing inadvertently, and he doesn't know what he is thinking when he is immersed in his own world.

"Junzuo? Junzuo..."

"Huh?" Liao Mingyu who opened his eyes looked confused and looked at others in surprise.

The communications soldier hurried forward to hand over the telegram, and said eagerly: "Jun Zuo, the Meiktila transport regiment sent an urgent report. They were ambushed by Japanese troops interspersed with troops while marching south, and the losses were quite serious."

"what!?"

Liao Mingyu's eyes widened, he snatched the telegram, and looked at the information on it in disbelief.

"Why did the Japanese army appear in this position? What does Chen Jize do for food? The supplies of tens of thousands of people were escorted by a chariot battalion. Was his head kicked by a donkey?"

A team of more than 2000 Japanese troops touched the rear at some point, just in time to meet the armored brigade transport group that had just set off from Meiktila to transport supplies to the front line.

Of course, the Japanese army would not let go of the fat in front of them, and immediately launched an attack on the transport regiment. The logistics force lacking guards was no match for the little devils. More than a dozen trucks were destroyed one after another.

The third battalion of the chariot regiment who was traveling with them tried their best to fight against the enemy. Although the Japanese army paid a certain price, they could only cover the convoy in the rear to retreat.

But the Japanese army pursued them closely, so they had no choice but to drive the remaining trucks to a small village not far from Meiktila. All the transport soldiers took up weapons and started to fight, but the retreat was completely cut off.

"Go! Go back to the headquarters immediately!"

Liao Mingyu waved his hand and didn't care to think about anything else. The most urgent thing to do is to find out the situation of the loss of the troops and the next step to deal with it.
