Chapter 220 MiG-21!

at the same time.

Yangcun,

Artillery training ground.

"This is the new 120 mortar?"

A group of people from the headquarters looked at the four huge mortars lined up on the training ground with piercing eyes.

"Hey hey..."

The voice of Li Datuan came out:

"The latest long-range 120mm mortar."

"It weighs 206 kilograms in combat state, and it can be split into three parts. It can be carried by mules or horses, or pulled by a jeep."

"The standard grenade weighs 13.6 kilograms, has a maximum range of 7700 meters, and a maximum rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute."

The mortar in front of him is obviously the 86mm mortar that was finalized by the previous army in 120, and it was bought and sold in February.

"7700 meters range."

"13.6 kilogram shells!"

The two indicators made the headquarter group look blazing.

power!

Range!

flexibility!
It is simply the perfect regiment suppression artillery.

If the troops could have this cannon in the Battle of Pingxian, it would not need too many cannons, just dozens of them, and with field artillery such as 105 howitzers, the devils would never even think about taking a position.

and!

If the devils continue to attack, the casualties will increase by at least [-]%, and their own casualties will also decrease by [-]% to [-]%.

"How many doors are each regiment going to equip?"

someone asked.

"Six doors!"

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands together, smiling slightly honestly.

"Is the transportation capacity enough?"

Someone from the headquarters continued to ask.

The mortar in front of me already belongs to the category of heavy artillery. Although it weighs only more than 200 kilograms, it is not as good as the devil's mountain artillery. After dismantling, it can also be maneuvered by Pelton horse camel.

However, a regiment is equipped with six guns. Even if the lowest shell configuration is used, each gun is equipped with two bases, that is, 960 rounds of shells.

The lightest 120 mortar grenade weighs 13.6 kilograms, plus propellant and protective packaging, it is almost [-] kilograms.

960 pieces, that is, eighteen tons of ammunition.

Although it can also reduce the allocation of shells, it doesn't have that taste.

After experiencing the taste of cannon fire from artillery, the group at the headquarters has become addicted. Except for the lightly armed mountain regiment, the rest of the main regiments are all artillery with heavy firepower.

Plus the weight of the artillery, as well as instruments and equipment.

Just twenty or so three-axle jeeps are needed for transportation.

This is still the lowest two base shells.

In actual combat, the artillery shells carried by the main regiment itself are actually at least five bases, especially the artillery, which can only be more or less.

Although there is a magical "material transfer station" provided by Boss Mo, it only needs to deploy a station by the logistics department of the independent regiment, and the troops can transport a steady stream of shells, fuel, and food to the front line.

Even weapons and equipment will do.

And the material transfer station' can move anytime and anywhere.

However, the 'material transfer station' can only be deployed to a distance of two kilometers from the front line recently. Considering the tortuous route, the transportation distance that needs to be solved by the troops themselves is about 25 to [-] kilometers.

It is really difficult to cope with a jeep with a maximum transport capacity of only one ton.

Although the maximum load of a six-axle jeep using a trailer can reach [-] tons or even more, the maneuverability will be greatly reduced, and the road surface requirements are high.

At a distance of 25 to [-] kilometers to the rear, the Devils' artillery can't reach them, but the Devils' aircraft can, and a small group of Devils can infiltrate the troops, and the road will be severely damaged, and heavy loads will reduce efficiency.

After all, in the design of the jeep, it can only carry [-] kilograms.

As for the tracked transport vehicle, its transportation capacity is sufficient. With a load of ten tons, its cross-country mobility is better than that of the devil tank, but the number is limited.

"Don't worry about the capacity."

"This time, along with the 120 mortar, there is also a four-axle six-wheel truck with more horsepower and a standard load of three tons."

Li Yunlong replied:
"There are fuel models, riding models, engineering models and other models."

"The quantity is also enough to replace all the main groups."

With that said, Captain Li pointed to a row of trucks not far away.

Everyone looked over.

The shape of the truck at the training ground at this time is the T234 Dodge truck specially provided by Guoji for later generations.

However, after all, it is produced by the master of the system. Compared with the original version, there are naturally many technical improvements. The engine horsepower has been increased from the original 128 horsepower to 230 horsepower. The reliability of the seven-speed gearbox has also been greatly improved.

However, considering maintenance and the lack of logistical technical units in the army, it is still a gasoline engine.

"it is good!"

The eyes of the group at the headquarters lit up again.

The standard load is three tons. According to the laws of jeeps, the actual load is six tons, and it can run on dirt roads. Even on good roads, there is no problem with a load of ten tons.

"It seems that we have to increase the progress of road repairs!"

Looking at the row of trucks that were several times larger than jeeps, everyone in the headquarters thought to themselves.

Mechanization is really good, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased dozens of times. Now that the troops randomly pull out a main regiment, they can rub the heads of the devil's full infantry regiment on the ground.

But mechanized troops also have high requirements for infrastructure.

Especially in the mountainous Jindi, there is no smooth road, and it is impossible to get out of the base area, especially this kind of large truck, which has a higher demand for roads.

Thankfully it is now...

Since last year, the base area has organized millions of people to build roads, using explosives casually, and the new two-lane road has been extended at a rate of more than ten or twenty kilometers per day.

At the same time, the old highway is also expanded at a speed of more than ten or twenty kilometers per day.

The current road network in the base area can barely meet the demand.

Moreover, the devils were completely compressed to the railway line, gaining a wide space for activities.

If it was this time last year, there was no way to use these equipments for the troops.

"What about the ghost plane?"

The deputy general staff asked suddenly.

The jeep has small targets and high mobility. In addition, the First Army does not have too many aircraft, only dozens of them. The air defense capability of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun is also very good, so there is no need to worry too much.

But then, the devils realized the strength of the troops and would inevitably strengthen the air force on a large scale.

"The first batch of excellent fighters who participated in the training last year, among them 50 who graduated ahead of schedule, will be back in five days!"

"Come back with them, and our fighter!"

Li Yunlong smiled and continued.

"We got a plane?"

The eyes of the big guys lit up.

"Yes, our plane."

Li Yunlong smiled:
"And it is the most advanced aircraft in the world."

"The most advanced aircraft in the world!"

The eyes of the big guys are shining again.

Scud told them that Boss Mo is fully capable of saying this.

···
North review.

Ishihara Waner's residence.

"The Eighth Route Army is undergoing large-scale repairs, sending a large number of artillery to Yangcun for training, and intensifying road construction efforts."

Ishihara Waner learned the latest information.

Although the army took secrecy measures, tens of thousands of people went to Yangcun to participate in training at the same time. It is impossible to hide the ghosts, even the preserved fruits.

Of course, there is no need to hide it.

Now the Devils North China Front Army has no ability to attack at all.

After more than a month of fighting, the devil's family property has long been empty. Not only the First Army, but even the North China Front Army's warehouses are empty, and the mice will cry when they see it.

Moreover, even if most of the artillerymen went to participate in training, those who remained were still able to easily repel the devil's attack.

"trouble··"

Ishihara rubbed his forehead with a smile.

The fighting in the Jinzhong Basin and the destruction of more than 1000 kilometers of railways. Although the Eighth Route Army showed incredible artillery fire, it also exposed a lot of problems.

The most notable ones are the lack of combat experience of the artillery crew and the improper arrangement and command of artillery fire by the staff system, resulting in a large waste of artillery fire nearly ten times more than that of the locust army.

Otherwise, the casualties of the locust army will increase a lot.

After all, this is only a unit selected from among the peasants, and a small number of elites cannot make up for the fact that grassroots soldiers generally lack education.

As for artillery, even if it is a mortar, the opponent's mortar with a range of more than three to five kilometers has very high requirements for the gunner, and must have a certain level of education.

Now, they are solving this problem quickly and decisively.

It is foreseeable that the strength of the Eighth Route Army will be greatly improved in the near future even if there is no new equipment.

But the former is obviously impossible.

"I don't know what General Gangcun plans to do?"

Ishihara smiled and sighed.

In fact, he hoped that the First Army would retreat immediately, give up Jindi, Tongpu and Zhengtai lines.

Compared with these two railway lines and the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, the more than 7 locust army is obviously more important. As long as the troops are still there, the land can be regained.

Moreover, the retreat of the locust army from here can also induce internal conflicts.

But the military seems to have other plans.

···
"How to do?"

Beiping, Neiji Okamura, who arrived here secretly and quickly, saw the telegram sent by Yoshio Shinozuka, his eyes flashed sharply.

Because of that coincident headline on the front page of the Ta Kung Pao, Jisaburo Okabe’s suicide by caesarean section not only did not bring glory, but was defined by the headquarters as a disgrace and a coward.

It is a deserter from the Empire of Japan!

The military department immediately dismissed Saburo Kobe and let him take office immediately.

For safety's sake, he took a plane and secretly arrived at Beijing Review.

After taking office, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately sent a telegram asking about the next policy.

The Taiyuan First Army Headquarters originally had a direct telephone line with the Beiping North China Front Army Headquarters, but since the Zhengtai line has been cut off, do you still expect the phone line to remain?

"Currently, the North China Front Army has no ability to open up the communication line. Please ask Xiaozuka-kun and the 7 warriors of the First Army to persist for several months."

"However, the military has dispatched more than 170 bombers from the south and the mainland, and we will contain the Eighth Route Army from the air."

When Neiji Okamura replied, he looked at the map on the table.

One of the huge red Xs was marked in Yangcun.

····
"Air Force..."

After receiving the telegram from Neiji Okamura, Shinozuka Yoshio sighed deeply.

The empire was temporarily unable to open up lines of communication, which he had expected a long time ago.

The Eighth Route Army is very powerful.

With the unbelievably huge artillery fire, and the sufficient supplies backed by the fortification group, only the No.11 army in the empire has the ability to open up the communication line, and it also dispatched a full heavy artillery brigade to support it.

For the Heavy Artillery Brigade, Beiping now has one, and the ammunition is quite sufficient. It was originally requested by Naozaburo Okabe, but it was not used in time.

But the No. 11th Army is still in the south, and it will take at least two months to come here.

He was not made to retreat, and Yoshio Shinozuka was not disturbed in his heart.

It's too late now.

Even if the First Army wants to retreat now, it will not be an easy task. The Eighth Route Army has already occupied several important counties along the retreat route and established a complete line of defense.

The reason he sighed was that General Gangcun planned to use the air force to contain the Eighth Route Army.

The opponent currently has no air force, and its air defense capability is relatively weak, limited to low altitudes, and has no way to deal with high altitude bombing.

Moreover, even if the opponent has a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, it will not be able to organize an effective air defense capability in a short time.

Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have higher operating requirements than large-caliber howitzers, and Tuba Road is still organizing artillery training on a large scale, and there are not so many people to form air defense units.

It seems that the mysterious force has not directly sent anyone to join the battle.

Theoretically, the empire's use of aviation forces is the best choice.

but···

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at a photo on the table.

This is an aerial photo of Yangcun,

Filmed three days ago!

Although the Air Wing of the First Army suffered heavy losses and urgently needed supplies and spare parts, it was still no problem to take off a reconnaissance plane, and the troops currently had nothing to do with the Devil's reconnaissance plane.

In the center of the photo is a wide flat field, where four runways and dozens of prototype hangars are clearly visible.

"Airport··"

Shinozuka Yoshio muttered to himself.

It can be seen at a glance that the open space behind Yangcun, near Luojiawan, is an airport under construction.

And it's not small.

Four long runways, dozens of huge concrete hangars, the total size is larger than the size of his First Army Aviation Wing.

Li Yunlong and his group are building an airport, and it is foreseeable that they will have planes soon.

According to past experience, this kind of aircraft is very likely to be extremely advanced, beyond the imagination of the empire!
Like, the 60 mortar with a range of more than three kilometers, the 82 mortar with a range of more than five kilometers, and the incredible mysterious weapon that killed Hayao Tada.

···
Just an hour and a half ago,
the other side,
North Review,

At the North China Front Army Command, Neiji Okamura called the captain of the aviation wing:
"Send two reconnaissance planes to Yangcun..."

Ningji Gangmura, who had studied the situation in North China, did not have any carelessness in his heart. Before the reinforcements arrived, he cautiously dispatched two reconnaissance planes.

Half an hour later, the Lichuan Type 98 reconnaissance plane took off from Beiping Airport and flew all the way to Yangcun.

·
Shinozuka Yoshio felt anxious at the same time.

The airport behind Yangcun.

"Report, the squad leader of the third platoon and the third squad of the independent regiment's security company, Zhao Chenghu has completed training and returned to the team!"

"Leader please give instructions!"

Five Black Hawks landed slowly, and Zhao Chenghu, who was Li Yunlong's bodyguard in Xinyi Regiment, and dressed in a brand-new Eighth Route Army uniform, ran to Li Yunlong and stood at attention to salute.

At the same time, soldiers jumped out of the Black Hawk cockpit and ran to Li Yunlong.

"Report, the squad leader of the second squad of the third platoon of the independent regiment's security company, Wang Dao has completed training and returned to the team!"

A total of fifty fighters stood in front of Li Yunlong together.

These 50 people are all wearing new military uniforms, and in their hands, they are also carrying a flight cap.

"it is good!"

Even Li Yunlong couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw this group of veteran subordinates.

A group of people from the headquarters who came together did not disturb Li Yunlong's meeting with his old subordinates, but turned their attention to the direction of the warehouse at the airport,

There, in the warehouse of the "material transfer station" located near the airport, a jeep slowly drove out, behind the tow hook, was a slender plane.

"What plane is this?"

"Why no propellers?"

"Why is it a triangular wing?"
