"Wireless communication device?"

"Radio?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Kazuki Yamamoto and asked.

Wireless communication equipment can basically be realized by the current radio station, but the communication distance is only 150 kilometers.

It is the radio station that Kazuki Yamamoto led the special agent team to attack the headquarters in the original play and carried it when passing through Chenjiayu.

However, that kind of wireless communication device is easy to be monitored.

Boss Chen and Li Yunlong also used the same equipment to communicate with each other, so neither Boss Chen nor Li Yunlong would discuss business during the call, lest they be monitored by the enemy.

Kazuki Yamamoto shook his head slightly: "It's not a radio station."

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked in a surprised tone: "How can it be possible to talk wirelessly if it's not a radio station?"

During the World War II, the beautiful country was at the forefront of the world in the field of walkie-talkie technology. Although Germany and other countries also had their own related equipment, they were not as good as the beautiful country in terms of technical performance, portability, and equipment penetration.

The US military's walkie-talkie was invented and manufactured by Calvin Manufacturing Company for the US military.

This manufacturing company was the predecessor of Motorola.

At present, walkie-talkies are only equipped in the U.S. military and have not been popularized, so Yoshio Iwamatsu and others do not know at all.

"It's true!" Kazuki Yamamoto said, "With this kind of equipment, the infantry of the Eighth Route Army can call the rear artillery fire support anytime and anywhere when the attack is unfavorable, which greatly enhances the Eighth Route Army's ability to attack fortified positions."

At present, the 129th Division and the Xinyi Regiment are equipped with a large number of such walkie-talkies.

The battalion-level and above units of the main force of the 129th Division are equipped with walkie-talkies, while the new regiment's company-level and above units are equipped.

Therefore, the Japanese army has very little information about walkie-talkies. Even Kazuki Yamamoto only knows that there is this thing, and it is not clear at all what it looks like.

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help but disbelieve Kazuo Yamamoto's words.

At present, the weapons and equipment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and even the Xinyi Regiment in Northwest Shanxi, whether it is rifle fire or artillery fire, have completely crushed the Japanese army.

It is not surprising that some advanced communication equipment appeared.

Kazuki Yamamoto continued: "This kind of communication equipment, the locust army's radio station can't answer it, and it can be distributed to troops on a large scale. If the locust army's artillery can also have such equipment..."

Although the artillery literacy of the Japanese army is extremely high, the Japanese army has not yet developed precision shooting methods.

Even the means by which observers call in artillery fire support is primitive.

For example, observers use communication methods such as telephones, semaphores, observation balloons, and radio stations to communicate to the artillery to shoot the elements and correct the impact point of the shells. High-end command and reconnaissance aircraft are used.

"Since the Eighth Route Army has good things in their hands, let's grab them and hand them over to ordnance experts to study imitations."

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Kazuki Yamamoto:
"Yamamoto-kun, this task will be handed over to your secret service team."

While speaking, Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Once upon a time, no one looked up to the Eighth Route Army. When it came to the Eighth Route Army, whether it was the national army or the Japanese army, they were all referred to as the Eighth Route Army.

The group was in the ravine, a group of peasants who had never seen the world, dressed in rags like a beggar army.

Already filthy rich.

In Shanxi, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army did not crush the Japanese army, at least it had leading equipment and sufficient weapons and ammunition.

Extremely difficult to deal with.

The rise of the Eighth Route Army, especially the rise of the new regiment directly under the Eighth Route Army headquarters, not only scared the Japanese army, but also scared the high-level national army.

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head.

Although this task is difficult, the Eighth Route Army can only be equipped with such communication equipment if it is at the company level or above.

Because once the battle is unfavorable, the company-level troops of the Eighth Route are likely to destroy the communication equipment, which is extremely difficult to capture.

It is difficult for other troops to do it, but Kazuki Yamamoto has confidence in the secret service team, because the secret service team does this kind of work.

Yoshio Yanmatsu said again: "There is news from the country that the big horn weapon you led the special agent team to snatch from the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Yamamoto, is called an anti-tank rocket launcher. At present, the Ordnance Research Institute has made a breakthrough. Once the ordnance If all of them are successfully copied, they will be sent to our first army first to deal with the tanks of the Eighth Route New Regiment."

The eyes of Kazuki Yamamoto, Masao Hanaya and Masao Miyazaki all lit up slightly.

This is really good news.

Kazuki Yamamoto thought that once the Ordnance Department researches and manufactures new weapons and equipment, the base camp will basically give priority to the navy for use.

It seems this time is an exception.

Kazuki Yamamoto took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of submachine guns. This type of submachine gun can exert a huge advantage in firepower in hand-to-hand combat and street fighting. I suggest that you, Commander, apply to the North China Front Army Command. Large-scale equipment of Type [-] submachine guns, at least one for each infantry unit, such as death squads and commandos can be replaced with Type [-] submachine guns.”

Although Kazuki Yamamoto is now promoted to major general, he is basically an idle job, and he still has a little say in the First Army.

After leaving the First Army, no one ignored him, so in terms of army equipment, Kazuki Yamamoto kept his words light.

When the Hundred-style submachine gun first came out, Kazuki Yamamoto was looking forward to it. He felt that the group of old and rigid ordnance officials in the Ordnance Department had finally opened their heads and wanted to equip the army with automatic firepower on a large scale.

At that time, he also obtained more than 200 Type [-] submachine guns from the Ordnance Department through Shinozuka Yoshio's relationship, and equipped them for the Okawa Advance Team and Mashiko Advance Team.

Although the two advancing teams were wiped out by the new regiment before they played any role.

But Kazuki Yamamoto knew very well that the advance team trained by him was much better than the general locust army death squads and commandos.

Yoshio Iwamatsu felt the same way.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army's submachine guns is indeed very troublesome.

Not to mention, in the Battle of Onomura, the 10th Cavalry Regiment of the 10th Division was almost wiped out by more than 600 Eighth Route Cavalry armed with submachine guns.

In street battles, the firepower of submachine guns far exceeds that of the Japanese [-]-type rifles.

not to mention.

In addition to automatic firepower such as submachine guns, the Eighth Route Army also equipped the infantry with semi-automatic rifles. Whether it was artillery firepower or infantry firepower, the Japanese army was at a disadvantage when facing the new regiment.

The philosophy of Japanese ordnance officials in producing weapons is: Japan is a country with poor resources, and in battle, it is necessary to consume the least amount of weapons and ammunition to achieve the greatest results.

in case.

The Chinese army has always maintained the original situation, and the Japanese ordnance officials have no problem with the concept of producing weapons.

But things are different now.

The Eighth Route Army acquired a large number of advanced weapons and equipment and ordnance production lines. The firepower of rifles and machine guns in the hands of Japanese soldiers was far from enough to cope with the North China battlefield.

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded: "I will apply to Commander Okamura for this matter. The Imperial Army should renew its firearms."

"There are also artillery." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "The Imperial Army should be equipped with larger, more powerful, and more artillery, as well as advanced communication equipment."

Kazuki Yamamoto, who participated in the 1939 Battle of Nomenkan on the Sino-Mongolian border, was psychologically shadowed.

"The strength of an army should mainly be reflected in the strength of its firepower."

"For example, the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and even the Chinese government army's establishment list, does not have the establishment of the New First Regiment."

"This was originally a little-known ordinary unit of the Eighth Route Army. Since the Xinyi Regiment received assistance, its combat effectiveness has been increasing day by day. Now its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the First Division of the Locust Army."

Speaking of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu's face and gaze suddenly darkened again.

He knew very well that what Kazuki Yamamoto said was conservative.

The combat effectiveness of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is definitely higher than that of the Class A Division, otherwise the 10th Division would not be defeated by the Xinyi Regiment.

……

The native country of Wa.

Tokyo.

Neiji Okamura, who received the telegram from Yoshio Iwamatsu, decided to go to Tojo Yingji after careful consideration.

Now if you want to innovate the army's equipment, only Tojo Yingji can do it.

At present, the Tojo Cabinet has been formally established. Tojo Hideki Tojo Hideki is the only one who holds the post of Minister of the Mainland and Minister of Internal Affairs, and gathers various powers in one body.

Tojo Yingji clamored that "completing the China Incident and establishing the 'Government Circle'" was the national policy of the empire, and it was necessary to "under the power of locusts, unite the whole country and move forward to complete the holy cause."

At the same time, it is advocated that the whole army and all "subjects of the locust country" should be loyal to the locust, and everyone must have the spirit of "dedication to the public" in order to realize the "new order of Greater East Asia".

However, due to the sweep of Northwest Shanxi and the second attack on Changsha, the two battles failed.

Tojo Yingji was scolded by Tianlou, and Tianlou ordered Dongjo Yingji to resolve the Chinese incident as soon as possible, and Tojo Yingji had to agree first.

Cabinet Office.

Neiji Okamura said to Tojo Yingji:

"One of the main reasons for the failure of the attack on Northwest Shanxi is that the weapons and equipment of the locust army are too backward."

Tojo Yingji asked with displeasure: "Tubalu's equipment is good?"

Although Tojo Yingji had heard about the Eighth Route Army's acquisition of weapons and equipment assistance from external channels, he did not know the specific equipment.

"Hi!" Neiji Okamura bowed his head, "The Eighth Route New First Regiment has more than 3 people, equipped with 75 cannons with a caliber above 300 mm, more than 100 heavy tanks, and 60 82 mm and 500 mm mortars. Ordinary soldiers also used automatic fire submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles. In addition, there were a large number of light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and 20mm machine guns. During the battle, the firepower of the locust army was severely suppressed, which led to the defeat of this battle. "

Regarding the strength of the new regiment, Neiji Okamura has exaggerated, just to attract the attention of the base camp.

Anyway, even if Tojo Yingji sent someone to investigate, it would be difficult to find out the true strength of the new group.

It is estimated that only the regiment headquarters of the new regiment and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army know the family background of the new regiment, and Neiji Okamura can only guess roughly.

As Okamura Ningji expected.

Hearing the words, Tojo Yingji couldn't help but gasp:
"Tuba Road is an ordinary regiment, how can it be so powerful?"

Tojo Yingji is not shocked. Just from the strength on paper, the strength of the Eighth Route New First Regiment is stronger than the most elite 1st Division of the Japanese Army.
