Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 23 A great harvest, captured Type [-] infantry artillery, anti-inflammatory drugs

In the early days of the Republic of China, one silver dollar could buy about 70 catties of rice, equivalent to about 200 yuan today. During the period of the Anti-Japanese War, prices soared, and one silver dollar could only buy 8-9 catties of rice, equivalent to more than 20 yuan now.

It seems that Wang Chengzhu did not pay much pension to the sacrificed soldiers.

But it is worth mentioning that during the Anti-Japanese War, many national army soldiers could not even get their military pay, let alone pensions.

On the one hand, the treasury is tight, and on the other hand, it is because of embezzlement from above.

The conditions of the Eighth Route Army were even more difficult, and many soldiers even had problems eating, let alone the situation.

Originally, Wang Chengzhu also had no money to pay pensions. Fortunately, he just won two battles today and seized a lot of money and food from the Sakai team, so this problem was solved.

If the conditions are met, it is natural to treat the soldiers better.

Sure enough, when the soldiers of the rebel army heard that they would receive pensions for those who were injured or killed in battle, which was not available before, they were all greatly moved.

Wang Chengzhu, the platoon leader, also won the initial favor and recognition of the rebel soldiers.

Originally, they only joined the artillery platoon because of the order of company commander Xu Hailang, but now they have a certain sense of belonging to the artillery platoon.

After dealing with the pension, Wang Chengzhu couldn't wait to go to the back of the second military card and asked, "By the way, Genzi, what's in this car?"

Wang Shugen: "Report to the platoon leader, we were cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded just now, and you came before we had time to check, so we don't know what's inside."

"Oh!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded, and immediately tore open the canvas hanging on the rear compartment.

hiss...

When the canvas was torn off, Wang Chengzhu was stunned.

Good guy, there is a cart full of supplies, including rice, flour, a lot of canned meat, and more than 10 pieces of raw pork, at least a thousand catties.

Wang Shugen was used to living in poverty. His eyes lit up when he saw these things, and he couldn't move them: "Platoon leader, this time we got rich!"

Wang Chengzhu felt a little regretful. Although these things could improve the life of the artillery platoon and be enough for them to eat for a while, they were not what Wang Chengzhu wanted most.

Because these materials are not enough to directly improve the combat effectiveness of the artillery platoon.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Wang Chengzhu tore off the canvas behind the first military card again.

hiss...

Then, what Wang Chengzhu never expected was that there was half a compartment of weapons and equipment on it.

In addition to some [-]-type rifles, melon-style grenades, a few crooked light machine guns, and some ammunition, there is actually a [-]-type infantry gun.

Although the [-]-type infantry artillery was disassembled and not assembled, Wang Chengzhu, who possessed perfect-level artillery skills, recognized it at a glance.

Originally, Wang Chengzhu had seen devil soldiers coming down from the first and third military cards, and subconsciously thought that these two military cards were troop carriers. In addition to the ghost soldiers, there is actually half a car of weapons and equipment.

Especially this [-]-type infantry gun, it has to be said that this is definitely a huge surprise for the artillery platoon that lacks heavy firepower weapons.

Type 1928 infantry artillery, developed by the Japanese army in November 11, put into use in March 1930, with a mass of 3 tons.

Not only is it light in weight, but it can also be disassembled for transportation, so there are almost no requirements for transportation conditions.

Mules, horses, and even manpower can be dragged or carried.

Because of the convenience of transportation, it can be said that the Type [-] infantry artillery is an artillery that can truly accompany the infantry in combat unconditionally, especially in mountain warfare where transportation is inconvenient, and it can play a huge role.

Of course, the advantages of the Type [-] infantry artillery go far beyond this.

Its overall height is only 62 centimeters, including the height of the defensive shield. If the defensive shield is removed, the overall height will drop to about 50 centimeters, which is about the same height as a heavy machine gun.

Taking advantage of this advantage, the [-]-type infantry artillery can be concealed and deployed very close to the enemy's target, giving full play to the accuracy, suddenness and violence of the firepower, and giving the enemy a fatal blow.

In addition, the shooting range of the Type 90 infantry gun is also very wide, with a horizontal shooting range of 90 degrees and a high and low shooting angle of nearly [-] degrees. , within range, it can attack almost all types of targets.

Although the power of the Type [-] infantry artillery is far less than that of the Italian artillery, it is much more powerful than the mortar in Wang Chengzhu's hand.

Its absolute killing radius has reached 10 meters, and its effective killing radius has reached 22 meters.

If the enemy's troops are denser, they can completely kill a squad with one shot...

However, what really surprised Wang Chengzhu was yet to come.

When he tore open the canvas of the last military card with excitement, what caught his eyes was a small half-truck of medical supplies.

Among them are gauze, bandages, and medical alcohol.

However, what surprised him the most were the large boxes of sulfonamide anti-inflammatory drugs.

What is the most valuable thing in the war years?
Some people may say it is food, and some people may say it is weapons, but in fact, medicine is the most valuable and hardest to obtain in the war years.

During World War II, the vast majority of soldiers did not die directly on the battlefield, but after being injured, because they could not receive effective medical treatment, the wounds became inflamed, festered, and then died.

It can be said that during the war years, whoever mastered the medicine mastered the wealth code.

Of course, if you want to have wealth, you need to be strong enough.

Otherwise, everyone is innocent and pregnant with crime.

Although sulfa is not a broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory drug, its anti-inflammatory effect is far less than that of penicillin, which is penicillin.

However, in the early and middle period of World War II, due to technical limitations, penicillin could not be produced on a large scale, and the price was extremely expensive, even surpassing gold, so it could not be widely used at all.

It was not until 1943 that pharmaceutical companies mastered the technology of mass production. At this time, it was already the late World War II.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages of World War II, sulfa drugs were definitely the best antibacterial and anti-infection anti-inflammatory drugs.

Get rich, really get rich!
Looking at the large boxes of anti-inflammatory medicines in the carriage, Wang Chengzhu had an undisguised smile on his face: "Hahaha! I didn't expect so many medicines to be seized. What a surprise!"

"Clean the battlefield quickly!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, in order to prevent accidents, Wang Chengzhu immediately asked the soldiers to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield.

Shilipo is located in the enemy-occupied area, and it is a relatively important strategic position. If the devils find out.

Not to mention these captured trophies, whether they can escape unscathed will become a problem.

Fortunately, none of the three military cards were damaged, and some soldiers in the rebel army could drive, which saved a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, with so many loot seized today, it's really not easy to take them all away.
