Chapter 144, Weapon List

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

After two months, Chen Hao's arrival again, not surprisingly, caused a shock in the headquarters' senior management.

As we all know, every time he comes, he can bring the weapons and supplies needed by the Eighth Route Army. As popular as those things are, so is Chen Hao who brought them.

After a warm exchange of pleasantries, the deputy chief of staff praised Chen Hao by referring to the tens of thousands of battles caused by the independent regiment and the new second regiment during the anti-mopping up campaign last time.

At the end of the battle, the results of the battle, how many Japanese troops were eliminated and how many weapons and equipment were seized, were immediately visible.

In fact, the influence of that battle proved to have a greater effect later on.

One is that the number of Japanese troops wiped out was sufficient. According to detailed statistics after the war, there were 500 more than [-] corpses left by the Japanese army.

What kind of quantity is this?

In the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, the Japanese army wiped out 3000 people from the Central Army at the cost of 80,000 people, which was regarded as the greatest shame of the Nationalist Government.

The Eighth Route Army used three to four infantry regiments to achieve such a remarkable victory, which is definitely a victory that can be counted.

The news spread to the whole country through newspapers and radio, and the [-] million compatriots were shocked by it, and the people were boiling.

Because there is no hope in the anti-Japanese war for many years, the people generally have various negative remarks such as fear of war, fear of war, and the subjugation of the country.

The victory of the Eighth Route Army is a booster.Those negative emotions were swept away, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm in the whole country was once again high.

Not only domestic people called for donations of money and materials to support the Eighth Route War of Resistance, but even the overseas Chinese, after hearing the news, donated generously and sent people to send the raised funds to the base areas to support the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War.

After this battle, the Eighth Route Army had a strong sense of existence in front of the people of the whole country, and once again strengthened their image as the backbone of the Anti-Japanese War.

Second, the Eighth Route Army defeated the two infantry regiments of the Japanese army in a frontal battle this time, which had never happened before.

For the Japanese army, this completely subverted cognition.

Not only the Japanese army in North China was shocked, but also the Japanese base camps in the island countries held urgent military meetings, raising the threat level of the Eighth Route Army again.

Reflected in the Shanxi battlefield, it is the continuous increase of troops from other places in North China, and more than 20,000 people have been added one after another, making the scale of the Shanxi First Army reach 100,000 people.

Technical arms such as heavy artillery, air force, and chariots have also been strengthened one after another.

But even so, facing the Eighth Route Army equipped with a division of equipment, the Japanese army had to shrink its front and voluntarily gave up some areas.

Listening to the deputy chief of staff's narration, Chen Hao was very happy in his heart. It can be said that these are all positive feedbacks brought about by his influence.

Is there any need to explain whose credit it is?
However, when they heard that the Japanese army had strengthened their forces, they did not launch an attack, but they were still shrinking their defenses.

Chen Hao was surprised by such an abnormal behavior: "Will the Japanese army voluntarily give up the meat they eat?"

"Of course he didn't give up voluntarily. We forced him to give up."

Commander Liu said with great momentum: "After you left, the troops became familiar with weapons thoroughly, and took advantage of the iron strike to liberate two county towns and wiped out more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops.

Little Japan will not shrink the line of defense, it will only let us seize the opportunity to nibble away at its strength bit by bit, and by then, they will have no people or places. "

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Hao understood what Commander Liu meant, that the Japanese army really had nothing to do.

In the past, the Japanese army could spread out their stalls, and even use gun towers, which have no technical content, to block the base areas of the Eight Routes and limit the scope of activities of the Eight Routes.

Even if the Bully Eighth Road has no artillery and lacks heavy weapons for attacking fortifications, a small blockhouse can still show off its might.

It’s different in the past.

The brick-and-tiled blockhouse can be easily destroyed even if the guerrillas carry two rocket launchers.

If the Japanese army still stays inside, the gun tower will become their grave.

The Eighth Route Army used to be reluctant to touch counties with city walls, because the casualties would be too great to attack.

When the Japanese support troops came to fight, they were reluctant to give up. If the Eighth Route Army insisted on defending, the price it would pay would be even greater.

As soon as you settle the accounts, you know that the fight will be a loss-making business. It is far better to guard the traffic line and fight an ambush. Eliminate the devils and seize weapons to make money.

Now it is still because there is a sufficient supply of weapons and ammunition, especially heavy weapons for attacking fortifications, making it easier to attack the county.

In contrast, the Japanese army spread out their troops evenly like pepper noodles, and garrisoned some occupied counties, which became a loss-making business.

Especially in some remote counties with little resources, after the previous rounds of land raids, the only thing that the Japanese army needed was the ability to expropriate food.

But in order to risk the loss of garrison troops, the Japanese army had to make some calculations to see if it was suitable.

As a result, five counties that were close to the Eighth Route Base and far away from the traffic lines were relatively remote. Because it was difficult to defend, the Japanese army withdrew in a hurry and was forced to abandon them.

The deputy chief of staff praised with a smile on his face: "This is also the impact of that battle. The enemy was scared, and we simply surrendered without fighting."

Chen Hao glanced at everyone in the command room, and he clearly agreed: "I just said that it is good to fight a big battle and fight a tough one.

Hit one punch to avoid a hundred punches.The little devils were frightened, and they were driven out of Shanxi and into the sea from our land. "

He has emphasized this point of view many times before, but it has not been generally recognized.

The ready-made cases are the best evidence for his point of view.

The cadres who heard his words were no longer disapproving as before, but nodded sincerely.

"Hit with one punch, and avoid a hundred punches."

The boss slapped the table and stood up excitedly: "Very good, very vivid, very well said. Comrades, this is the positive result that we fought a tough battle and let the Japanese army see the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army." influences."

Everyone nodded one after another, yes, chewing those ten words in their hearts, the more they thought about it, the more interesting it became.

In the seven liberated counties, the base areas expanded rapidly, and the small-scale raids by the Japanese army continued to decrease.

All the positive and positive impacts in the past two months have been accurately summed up by this sentence.

The deputy chief of staff said excitedly: "Consultant Chen's words are very good. I think I can use this to write an essay and publish it to further boost the morale of all our commanders and fighters."

The boss thought it was a good proposal and readily agreed.

But then a question arose, who gave this precise summary, should I explain it?
Chen Hao's identity has become the biggest secret of the Eighth Route Army.

Don't write it, it seems to be disrespectful.

"Don't, don't, don't give me publicity, you can write Anonymous." Chen Hao repeatedly waved his hands and refused.

It's okay for him to borrow a word from others, but if he keeps it for himself, it's a bit shameless.

As everyone knows, Chen Hao's refusal made everyone look like he was high-spirited and did not admire fame.

The boss still thought in his heart: "Xiao Chen is not greedy for fame or profit, everything he does is for the country, he is really a patriot!"

Chen Hao, who didn't know his own image and was so tall in many people's minds, heard what the deputy chief of staff told him, and roughly understood what happened two months after he left.

A plan slowly formed in his mind.

Chen Hao took out a list from his bag and handed it to the boss: "I almost forgot about it, this is a handwritten list of munitions.

This time there are relatively few supplies, only medicines and high-calorie food are guaranteed, and the rest are all arms and weapons. "

"This joke is not funny at all." The boss said with a rare smile.What he had been waiting for was this moment, and he couldn't wait to take the list and check it carefully.

Not only did the boss wait for this moment for a long time, before the list was brought out, there was no one in the room who was not curious.

It's just that the deputy chief of staff wanted to bring the topic to that direction many times, but Chen Hao pulled it away without a trace.

A curiosity hung in the air, making everyone's heart itch, and this list was finally produced.

There were only three or four pages in total, and the boss quickly read it at a glance and ten lines, and he was very satisfied.

Seeing all the people in the room looking at him eagerly, the boss couldn't help laughing, and handed the list to the deputy chief of staff: "You read it to the big guys to satisfy their curiosity."

The deputy chief of staff took it over, and flipping through it casually found that there are hundreds of categories: "Let's sum up the major categories, shall we?"

With the permission of the boss, things were much easier.

"In terms of light weapons, there are more than 20,000 Ak 700s, more than 200 PK light machine guns, and [-] NSV heavy machine guns. The matching ammunition is more than [-] million rounds in total."

After reporting the key data, the deputy chief of staff turned to look at Chen Hao: "The models of light and heavy weapons are different from last time."

These are what Chen Hao got from Iwan's warehouse. They are all equipped by Mao Xiong before, so they are naturally different.

However, the difference between the two is basically the same, and each has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance. It is definitely better than that used by the Japanese army, and it is more than enough for the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving Chen Hao's explanation, everyone no longer had any doubts.

A staff officer said: "These light weapons are the size of two divisions, enough for us to equip [-] infantry regiments.

The previous units have already dispatched personnel for training, and they will definitely be able to quickly get familiar with entering the state.

We have more than 30,000 and nearly [-] replacement troops, and the combat effectiveness should be on par with the Japanese army in Shanxi. Some bold combat plans will have the soil to implement. "

His words struck a chord with many in Command.

The Eighth Route Army is very willing to think about the future. In the past period of time, the staff members of the command headquarters have often conducted imaginary simulations.

To what extent can the troops be refitted, what level of combat effectiveness can be achieved, and what size of the Japanese army can compete with it.

More than ten copies of the planning book and the combat plan book were written.

The local regiments of the main regiments in the military region all took out capable personnel and went to the troops that had been re-equipped to receive training and familiarize themselves with new weapons.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Chen Hao to come with a weapon.

A month passed, and no one came. They were almost like ants on a hot pot. They sent troops out to investigate and search every day, looking forward to it.

After waiting for two months, it finally arrived. The weapon doubled in size from last time, which made everyone think it was worth it.

If the strength increases a lot, then the imaginary plan will be possible to implement.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about that later, let's listen to the list of weapons that Consultant Chen brought us first."

The words of the deputy chief of staff suppressed everyone's excitement.

In terms of light weapons, two divisions can be armed, and there are also a lot of heavy weapons this time!
"24 Type [-] rocket launchers."

"120mm mortars, [-]."

"Forty eighty tanks."

"240mm tulip mortars, four."

Every time the deputy chief of staff read out a key statistic, everyone exclaimed.

There is no need to emphasize the power of the Type [-] rocket launcher.

If any one is strengthened to an infantry regiment, it can have the same fire support as an artillery battalion.

Easily suppressing the artillery fire of the Japanese army at the same level has significantly improved the combat capability of the troops.

"24, my God, three are worth an artillery regiment, so we have eight artillery regiments?"

"You forgot to count 120 mortars, you can form a mortar regiment."

"That's right, if we increase the firepower of nine artillery regiments at once, our Eighth Route Army has never been so rich in ten lifetimes!"

Many cadres were so shocked that they didn't care about the discipline of the meeting. They chatted happily and expressed their inner joy.

The boss waved his hand to stop the deputy chief of staff from emphasizing the idea of ​​meeting discipline:
"Let's make everyone happy. With so many artillery fires, the entire First Army in Shanxi will be suppressed by us even if the artillery is added up."

The arrival of these weapons undoubtedly greatly enhanced the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

It is difficult for the boss himself to control his excitement. There is no need to be strict with his subordinates if he judges others by himself.

Wu Ziting, the commander of the artillery regiment, not only pays special attention to the rocket troops, but also to the tank troops.

He said: "Forty [-] tanks, this is the size of a reinforced tank battalion!

Our personnel have been trained, but they are all trained with [-] modified tanks. Is it easy to get started with this tank? "

He should not be the only one who has such concerns.

Chen Hao actually didn't know, he was not a tank soldier, but he was very confident: "The driving of tanks is the same, if you can drive and run, there is no problem.

Anyway, the protective armor is thick enough, and the devil's tanks and anti-tank guns are tickling.

Let the tank soldiers drive the tank up, use the tank gun to fight the bayonet, and hit the little devil with a random shell.

This is a crushing game using advanced weapons, so there is no need to worry so much. "

Not only Wu Ziting was surprised, everyone was surprised by Chen Hao's idea.

From the perspective of the Eighth Route Army, it is not enough to use weapons proficiently when conditions permit, and it is more necessary to master the skills to maximize the role of developing weapons.

When using backward weapons and equipment, you can be more powerful and at the same time contend with enemies with advanced weapons.

No one has ever told them that it doesn't matter how proficient they are, just crush the enemy with advanced weapons.

It's like telling a person who can't even eat enough steamed buns that you will eat fish and delicacies every day in the future.

The strong contrast makes it difficult for people to adapt for a while.

Think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

Especially comparing the destroyed Japanese tanks with the already equipped [-]th tanks, one can see that what Chen Hao said is true.

It is really possible to use tank performance to crush the enemy without relying on technology.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and laughed dumbfoundedly. Who would refuse to easily win the battle!

Of the four heavy weapons, only the last one remained, and it was the least known and most curious to everyone.

"240mm mortar, if I heard correctly."

Master Liu asked: "A weapon of this caliber is enough to be called a heavy artillery. What kind of situation is it?"

The Army’s small-caliber artillery is below 76mm, medium-caliber artillery is from 76mm to 150mm, and large-caliber artillery is above 150mm.

Cannons with a caliber of more than [-] mm weigh tens of tons at least, and it is extremely difficult to transport them on land. Generally speaking, they are train guns and fortress guns.

Generally speaking, it is considered a medium caliber when used on naval warships.

Not to mention the well-informed Master Liu, the room is full of people, and it is impossible to imagine anyone who can build a 240mm caliber mortar.

What did Chen Hao do with this thing?
