mixed in the war

"I thought you could get me three to five hundred heavy artillery pieces, why are there such things?"

The negotiation between Qin Wei and Cui Kefu progressed quickly.It didn't even take half a day before the result was presented to He Yingqin's desk... But Minister He frowned immediately after reading the newly signed agreement.Because the results inside were far from what he expected... Four hundred 76mm artillery pieces, six hundred 82mm mortars, each equipped with hundreds of shells, and two hundred aircraft , 1200 trucks and [-] tractors, in addition to the Soviet-made weapons of the two divisions.Although there are already quite a few, these can only be regarded as conventional weapons.And now the national government is quite rich, so these things are not particularly lacking.What they lack are cannons, tanks, and armored vehicles!Especially the large-caliber heavy artillery, which is now a strategic weapon, can sometimes directly change the outcome of a battle.In his opinion, a thousand small cannons are not worth even ten such cannons.Moreover, he had previously dreamed that Qin Wei could get an armored force for the Kuomintang, preferably a division, if there is no division, a regiment is fine... Although this is far inferior to the armored swarms of the Germans, on the Chinese battlefield you How much more of this goodness do you want?Hitting the Japanese is enough.

Unexpectedly, not long after he dreamed, Qin Wei took back a "bad result" far beyond imagination, causing him to fall directly from the clouds of his dreams back to the ground.

"Boss, the Germans have already captured France, and soon they will attack the Soviet Union eastward... Three to five hundred heavy artillery pieces? Thanks to you, you think the Soviets are so impartial?" Qin Wei was very dissatisfied with He Yingqin's attitude.Three to five hundred heavy artillery pieces?Not to mention China, but take the Japanese heavy artillery brigade as an example.A standard heavy artillery brigade has two heavy artillery regiments, including 150-30 heavy cannons of 40mm caliber in the seventh year of Taisho, 240 heavy cannons of 20 caliber in Type 305, and heavy cannons of 10 caliber in Type 320. 3 howitzers.Some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 6-240 Type 180 80-caliber mortars.The power of these heavy artillery is not a joke, it is really scary when it explodes. For example, the 320-type [-] heavy cannon has a shell weight of [-] kg. When loading, it needs to use a special loading vehicle. Loaded into the barrel, it has a range of [-] kilometers, and when it falls on the ground and explodes, the killing radius exceeds [-] meters. If such a shell hits the field fortification, at least one platoon of troops will be removed from the fortification. If the people inside are not killed by the bomb, they will also be shocked to death by the huge shock wave.As for the [-]mm mortar with a larger caliber.The weight of the artillery shell alone reached [-] kilograms, not to mention its power. Basically, as soon as a shell hits the fortification, a company will evaporate from the world... This kind of heavy artillery brigade.With all the power of Japan, five people can be supported.One of them is in Japan, and the other four are all in China.certainly.Now three of them have moved to the Far East.I'm fighting the Soviets. As for the remaining one... Sorry, the air force commanded by him during the Nanchang battle burned it almost completely with napalm bombs, and is currently trying to rebuild it.

And having said so much, I want to express one meaning: Even if there are three to five hundred heavy artillery pieces, He Yingqin will find them from the entire National Revolutionary Army.I am also afraid that there will not be enough artillery.Because there are only five such brigades in Japan, and the quality of Chinese soldiers is much worse than that of Japan, how can it be possible to gather so many artillery?

"Besides, we in China can't produce that kind of large shells. When the shells rationed by the Soviets are all used up, what are these shells going to do there? As scrap metal, or as a museum exhibition?"

"Let's ask the Soviets again." He Yingqin said with a face full of indifference, "It's really not good, we can still buy it."

"Buy?" Qin Wei sneered, "Boss, can I call you Uncle He? It is very likely that the Soviets will go to war with the Germans. At that time, they will have to fight hundreds of times just for artillery preparations." Tens of thousands of shells, even if they have a big business, how can they have the time to do business with your old man? Do you really think they have everything?"

"Then you can get a dozen or eight guns, and you can also build an artillery battalion. Just get a few small mountain guns, small mortars, what's the use?" He Yingqin said dissatisfied.

"You don't want it?" Qin Wei was annoyed, "If you don't want it, I'll take it myself."

"Don't talk nonsense. This is military supplies, why do you take it away?" He Yingqin scolded.

"It's a joke. I bought this with my own aircraft design, and I'm willing to give it to the government for free. That's my own integrity! But now you don't want it, why don't you allow me to take it back?" Qin Wei patted the table and shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'm just complaining, do you take it seriously?" He Yingqin quickly changed his smile.One thousand guns and three hundred trucks, plus the weapons of two divisions, are enough for him to "beautiful" for a while.The most important thing is that most of these are conventional weapons, unlike the heavy artillery that came last time, they can only form a heavy artillery regiment, dispatched directly by the central government, and no one else can intervene.At that time, there must be many people coming to beg him.He would not be willing to hand over such a good thing to Qin Wei: "But the Americans, you have to remember to remind them, the sooner you can get those [-] 'Hellcats', the better."

"Isn't this about Wang Chonghui and Hu Shi? Why are you looking for me again?" Qin Wei asked back.

"Don't look at the fact that the Soviets and the Americans are now hostile to Japan, but they are enemies after all... We privately objected that this new type of aircraft was sold to the Soviets. The Americans will know when the time comes. Once we pinch the supply, how can we fight against Japan in the future? Airplanes with a constant stream of people? So, hurry up and get all the ones you can get first." He Yingqin said.

"The Americans are not fools, they know the benefits of what I do." Qin Wei gave the old guy a white look, "Let's not talk about that, anyway, you are urging the Soviet Union to bring the things over quickly, and then I will send the relevant design materials of the aircraft to you." They are."

"The chairman's intention is to take advantage of our complete air superiority to launch a counterattack..." Seeing that Qin Wei was about to leave after speaking, He Yingqin didn't stop him, but suddenly spoke another message .

"Counterattack?" Qin Wei was taken aback for a moment, and the steps he had planned to take suddenly stopped, "Is he crazy?"

"Cough," He Yingqin couldn't help coughing dryly, and then looked at Qin Wei complainingly: "What are you talking about? The chairman is also eager to drive the Japanese out of China... and the victory of the Guangzhou air battle has greatly boosted the whole world* The morale of the people and the desire of the frontline soldiers to fight are very strong."

"Don't come here." Qin Wei curled his lips in disdain, "I just blew up two Japanese battleships, and they still don't know why they are holding back their fire and wanting to take revenge. I sold the plane to the Soviets just to bring disaster to the east, you guys Well, you want to fight back now? Have you eaten too much recently?"

"You really can't speak anymore." He Yingqin smiled wryly. He really didn't have any temper for Qin Wei: "You should understand the urgency of a country leader who wants to drive the enemy out of his country. What's more As you said yourself, this is World War II, and China should seize the opportunity to rise... But how can it rise? Can't it just rely on these southwestern provinces?"

"Then he thinks that as long as there is an air force, all enemies can be wiped out?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"At least, it shouldn't be a big problem to take Guangzhou back and restore the international traffic lines there," He Yingqin said.

"Whose idea is this?" Qin Wei asked.

"Many people think so." He Yingqin replied.

"I also want to take Guangzhou back, but there are still two divisions of the Kwantung Army in Guangdong. Have you thought about this? And I want to ask, even if we can take Guangzhou back now, what will we do next?" Qin Wei He tilted his head and looked at He Yingqin, "We bombed and sank five Japanese warships, including two battleships... The Japanese hate us from top to bottom, no matter how bad their army and navy relationship is, they will definitely We must retaliate with all our strength, otherwise we will not be able to explain to their citizens. What's more, the Japanese have only sunk a few warships, and their naval power in the Pacific is still the first. If they really want to fight hard, they can still blockade Guangzhou Bay, block our sea routes. If this is the case, what is the use of us sacrificing so many soldiers to take back Guangzhou?"

"What everyone means is to wait until after the Japanese and the Soviets start a war in Siberia." He Yingqin said, "At that time, even if the Japanese are unhappy and resent the loss of the two battleships, they will have nothing to do with us? And if they are defeated in Siberia, even if the loss is too heavy, it is impossible for them to have spare energy to snatch Guangzhou."

"You are wrong." Qin Wei sighed, "Mr. He, you forgot a very, very, very important thing."

"What's the matter?" He Yingqin asked back.

"You forgot who it was against Timoshenko in Siberia!" Qin Wei said in a deep voice.

"Isn't it Seishiro Sakagaki?" He Yingqin thought for a while, "That guy is really good at fighting, but we have to distinguish who the opponent is. Brother Timoshen is not Yan Xishan's soft-witted guy who doesn't understand military affairs! The Soviet Red Army Nor is it the Jinsui Army! He was unable to break through Li Delin's line of defense when he had absolute superiority in the air and land, and it is impossible to break through Timoshenko's steel army now."

"Who is Seishiro Sakagaki? I'm not talking about him, but Waner Ishihara!" Qin Wei snorted coldly, "One Waner Ishihara is worth at least ten Juichi in the temple. What's more, Seishiro Sakagaki Ishihara Waner is almost obedient, so the Japanese army in Ulan-Ude basically does not have the issue of command. In other words, the Japanese will not lose this battle! And I will not allow them to lose! Even if the loss is too large No way! They must defeat the Timoshenko Group in the shortest possible time, and march westward to Yekaterinaburg! Block the Asia-Europe throat of the Siberian Railway! This is the task I gave them, they must Complete, and only complete!" (To be continued..)
