All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 145, Three birds with one stone wins numbness
Tulip mortar, 240mm caliber, is the largest caliber self-propelled mortar designed and manufactured in Maoxiong era.

In many wars and conflicts, it has been put into use and achieved good results.

How did Chen Hao think of getting this thing?
It can only be said to be a coincidence. When Ivan scraped the warehouse where the tanks were stored, he happened to find that there were four doors.

The location of the warehouse has been exposed, and it would be cheap for the enemy not to take it away, so Chen Hao simply took it away.

Four self-propelled mortars are equipped with a total of 360 rounds of high-explosive shells, which is enough to fight two rounds.

Of course, it is impossible to tell the truth in front of customers.

Chen Hao naturally said, considering that the Eighth Route Army will have battles to attack the county and other fortified towns, so I bought four specially, which is interesting enough.

What does a tulip mortar look like?
Chen Hao took out a stack of translated and printed instructions, which not only contained detailed operation and maintenance procedures, but also detailed pictures.

It is enough to answer doubts in advance for everyone who has not seen the real thing.

The deputy chief of staff got one of them and picked up the important parts and read it to everyone: "The tulip mortar is a 240 mm caliber, a breech-loading mortar.

The bomb chamber is fed by the breech, and the bomb chamber is drum-shaped, each of which can hold forty shells of various types, and is fired electrically or mechanically.

Using the GMZ armored vehicle chassis, the maximum road speed is [-] kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel distance is [-] kilometers. "

One explanation solved many doubts of the crowd. They thought that the weight of a mortar of this caliber must be extraordinary.

It is estimated that it is disassembled, and it still needs to be dragged by mules and horses, or moved by a car.

Installed on a tank-like chassis with autonomous mobility is indeed a new idea, beyond their expectations.

"Just because of its fast maneuverability, this is also a good gun!"

Wu Ziting, the commander of the artillery regiment, sighed and asked again: "I don't know, what is the range and power of the shells!"

The larger the caliber of the gun, the larger the shells fired, and the significantly increased explosives loaded, the greater the power will obviously be improved.

The 240mm caliber was originally only heard of, but now it is about to be available as a four-door.

Wu Ziting wasn't the only one who cared, everyone wanted to know.

The deputy chief of staff understood that everyone was anxiously waiting, so he endured dry mouth and continued to read: "Tulip mortar mainly uses two types of shells, one is high-explosive fragmentation shells, which weigh 130 kilograms and have a maximum range of [-] meters.

The other is rocket-assisted high-explosive fragmentation shells, which weigh 230 kilograms and have a maximum range of [-] meters.

In addition, tactical nuclear shells, chemical shells and other special shells can also be launched. "

Compared with the 3000mm mortar, which has a maximum range of less than [-] meters, the range of [-] meters is obviously very far.

Compared with the Type 500 rocket launcher, it has [-] meters more, which is enough for the Eighth Route Army's operations.

Although rocket-assisted high-explosive bombs can double the range, the eight-way bomb is almost useless, so there is no need to mention it.

Wu Ziting widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "A 130-kilogram shell is too heavy. Once a shell falls, even the city walls of Taiyuan can't hold it?"

Chen Hao was not surprised that he would ask such a question.

Take the 210 infantry artillery of the Japanese army as an example. The whole artillery weighs only [-] kilograms, which is less than the weight of two shells.

The high-explosive shell of a [-] infantry artillery, the shell weighs [-] kilograms, can easily destroy the masonry blockhouse.

One shell of a tulip mortar is worth 34 such shells.

If this is smashed down, what's the deal?

"Let me explain this."

Chen Hao's words attracted everyone's attention: "This cannon is called a magic tool for demolishing buildings in our place, and a building made of reinforced concrete will collapse as soon as it is fired.

If one shot is not enough, then a few more shots can always be blown up.

I have never seen the city wall of Taiyuan, and there must always be a limit of carrying capacity, and a few more shells are enough. "

It is also written in the data that after the shell explodes, a pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of six meters can be created.

Shock wave and fragmentation radius are above 100 meters.

That is to say, a shell fired at a relatively open and flat place is enough to cover the size of a football field.

For the strong city wall of Taiyuan, even if the shells cannot knock it down quickly, the defenders within the range of the explosion will either die or be injured and completely lose their fighting ability.

With such a terrifying effect, even the skilled general who rolled over in the sea of ​​corpses and blood felt chills down his spine.

"Fortunately, this is what we have."

Wu Ziting's exclamation resonated with everyone.

Once bullied by the Devil's [-]-type infantry artillery and mortars, he has suffered many casualties in many wars.

Affected the victory or defeat of a battle.

If such powerful cannons were in the hands of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army would suffer a lot!
After reading the entire manual, the boss already has a very thorough estimate of the tulip mortar in his heart.

He put down the manual and commented: "This is a first-class large-caliber artillery in the world, which is very suitable for us. Let us have a solid trump card in the battle against tough problems."

Everyone nodded in approval.

If he had had such an artifact for demolishing buildings two months earlier, it would have been easier to liberate those two counties.

Mr. Liu circled a word on the manual with a pen, and he looked up at Chen Hao:
"I have a question. I probably understand the shells mentioned above, chemical shells and other special shells. They should be gas bombs and incendiary bombs.

The only thing that puzzles me is the tactical nuclear shell. What kind of shell is this, and what kind of power is it? "

"Is there?" Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, took the manual, saw what was written on it, and secretly thought that he was too careless.

I actually forgot to go through the manual and delete these.

Tactical nuclear shells are miniaturized nuclear bombs, with explosive power ranging from several thousand tons to hundreds of thousands of tons.

Chen Hao once heard that the tactical nuclear shells equipped with tulip mortars have an explosion power equivalent to two thousand tons of TNT explosives.

Think about it, even 130 kilograms of shells are all TNT explosives.

In order to achieve the explosive power of two thousand tons of TNT explosives, about seven thousand seven hundred shells must be concentrated and exploded together.

You can probably imagine how powerful a tactical nuclear shell is.

In addition, the "little boy" that fell in Hiroshima actually has a TNT equivalent of [-] tons, which is equivalent to seven and a half pieces.

The mushroom cloud produced by the explosion was 8000 meters high, equal to the sum of two Everests.

According to post-war statistics, 20 people in Hiroshima died immediately in the explosion. If you count the number of people who died from nuclear radiation later, the total number reached more than [-].

Conservatively speaking, the tactical nuclear shells that Mao Xiong equips the tulip mortars can wipe out 10,000 people from the planet once the shells fall.

Not to mention that Chen Hao couldn't get that thing, even if he got it, he wouldn't dare to sell it.

Unless it is too long. (beast haunted)

Before nuclear weapons were developed, no one could have imagined that a single bomb could destroy a city.

Chen Hao pondered for a while, and decided not to explain too much. He only said that this is a bomb with special power. There is no supply at present, and he can't provide it.

Seeing his hesitation in his speech, Mr. Liu knew that there was something to hide.

However, he didn't ask any further questions, he nodded slightly to express his approval, and immediately changed the subject.

"Last time you asked for [-] pieces of antiques, and you were still short of [-] pieces. Seven counties were liberated, and more than [-] pieces were collected through confiscation and redemption. I thought it would be easier this time, you Get these weapons again..."

Master Liu smiled at Chen Hao, turned his head and said to everyone: "It seems that we have to continue to think of a way before we can settle the bill for Consultant Chen."

Everyone laughed in good faith.

Such pressure, they want to say just come on, the more you come, the better.

The cadres have an account in mind, if it is said that the equipment and massive supplies of a division were worth [-] antiques last time.

So this time, with the equipment of the two divisions plus a large number of heavy weapons, [-] pieces of antiques are unstoppable, at least [-] pieces are enough.

There are about [-] gaps, which is not a small number.

But if it is really converted, there are [-] antiques at present, and I am afraid that they cannot compare with those advanced weapons and equipment.

If you have [-] antiques in your hands, it is not an easy task to mortgage them to the bank.

Chen Hao thinks it is necessary to remind: "There are too many antiques and it is not easy to realize them. We'd better get some gold and jade to check out this time. The proportion is half and half of the antiques."

The meeting room fell silent.

Half of the bill is paid in gold, which is not a few kilograms or tens of kilograms, but a few tons of gold.

If the Eighth Route Army wanted so much money, it would have been spent a long time ago, so it is impossible to keep it until now.

Suddenly, the boss asked, "Is five tons of gold enough?"

"Five tons of gold, do you really have it?"

Chen Hao was very surprised. He didn't think that the Eighth Route Army would pretend to be poor if they were rich.

Gold is a hard currency, and there are plenty of people who are willing to sell it to them internationally.

The boss said: "We don't have it, but the enemy has it. If we snatch it from them, we will have it."

What he said made sense, Chen Hao couldn't stop nodding.

To snatch guns and ammunition from the little devil, and now to grab some gold... No, it should be said that it is to take back his own gold, which is really reasonable.

But the devils took away the gold, shouldn't it have been shipped back to their country?
In the first two years of the invasion, the Japanese army did not do little to search for wealth and transport it back to their country.Gold and silver antiques, all objects of high value.

It is already the fourth year now, five tons of gold is worth a lot, it should have been shipped away long ago!

Knowing that Chen Hao was confused, the deputy chief of staff explained:

"Yan Laoxi once established the Shanxi Bank, which had more than five tons of gold reserves, which were intercepted by the Japanese army and stored in Yangquan.

Originally, the Japanese army wanted to transport it back to their country, but in order to win over Yan Laoxi, the Japanese army used it as a bargaining chip, so the gold is still in Yangquan. "

Having said that, Chen Hao understood.

While chatting and drinking with the boss, I heard that in order to win Yan Laoxi into a traitor, the Japanese promised to return 40.00% of Yan Laoxi's industrial and mining enterprises in Shanxi, and all of them returned to the senior general's residence.

At the same time, the Japanese army also promised to provide arms and ammunition to the Jinsui Army to help Yan Laoxi deal with the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Laoxi's personal representative met and discussed with senior officers of the Japanese army many times.

In the recent period, the Japanese army basically did not trouble the Jinsui army, and the Jinsui army did not provoke the Japanese army. The two sides roughly reached a tacit understanding.

Yangquan is an important city on the Zhengtai Railway. It has a very strong city wall. It is also the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army and is garrisoned by elite soldiers.

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to attack it, because it was probably nothing.

But now it's all right.

The Eighth Route Army has the ability to fight the Japanese army head-on, and can send troops to cut off the railway and block the Japanese army's reinforcements.

With rocket launchers and tulip mortars as offensive weapons, Yangquan's city defense is no longer as unattainable as before.

If Yangquan can be completely occupied and the operation of the Zhengtai Railway cut off, it will have a very significant impact on the logistics and supply transportation of the Japanese army for a long time.

It is no less than putting a nail in the heart of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

On the one hand, it can deal a major blow to the Japanese army, and on the other hand, it can solve the debt problem of purchasing weapons and equipment.

By the way, he can even punch Yan Laoxi in the chest. For that old man who fell into the eyes of money, it is more uncomfortable to steal his money than to kill him.

It's really killing three birds with one stone.

Chen Hao licked his lips: "For nothing else, I am very interested in taking down Yangquan and stabbing the Japanese army in the heart. Count me in if you make a battle plan."

"It just so happens that the weapon you brought is the one you are most familiar with, so I must be able to put forward a different opinion."

Brigadier Chen once made a small report to the boss, and the boss knew that Chen Hao was somewhat addicted to commanding and fighting, so he satisfied his request.

Around the large-scale map of Shanxi hanging on the wall, everyone discussed the next first large-scale battle.

It can be predicted that this will definitely be a big battle around Yangquan with tens of thousands of troops invested by both sides.

Chen Hao is happy to see the result, because of his new mission.

[Mission Eleven: Instigate the Eighth Route Army to fight a big battle]

[Message from the Arms Dealer: How can you consume arms without fighting, and how can there be new orders if you don’t consume them? 】

Chen Hao didn't want to make such a big deal at first, and since the Eighth Route Army offered it, he had no reason to refuse.

What's more, it may be difficult to fight Taiyuan with the current strength of the Eight Route Army, but if it is to fight Yangquan, it should not be a problem.

Chen Hao didn't need to worry about them, he thought absentmindedly: "Five tons of gold, if you take 200 yuan per gram of gold, it's worth one billion yuan!
It's easy to realize this thing, or sell it directly, or find a bank to mortgage it in, and you can get [-]% of the cash. "

If you count more than 7000 antiques, it is conservatively estimated that it will add up to more than 20 billion. What should I buy to reward myself by then, such as airplanes, yachts...

The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes.

Rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, Chen Hao warned himself that he couldn't be 100% sure until he got the item.

I'll be happy when it's in my hands.

He returned his mind to the discussions before the battle.
