Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

As for how to deal with Doppler... At least for now, he can't think of any good way. Although he is going to the small town of Savigny tonight, whether he can be caught is another matter.

Fortunately, the guy in Ivan's hands has a lot of things, and he has a mortar.This thing can greatly enhance the confidence in combat, whether it is knocking on the temporary command post of the German army or dealing with machine gun firepower.

If... Doppler escaped this time without being punished and still appeared on the battlefield, Ivan is confident that he will die completely in this foreign country!

......

......

"Master Huang, will you go to the warehouse with me?"

"Okay."

While inspecting the equipment, listen to Huang Jiu's collection of information about the paratroopers.

As soon as Huang Jiu entered the warehouse, he was attracted by the neatly arranged weapons in front of him. He couldn't move his eyes away. Really... Ivan is very familiar with this kind of look. In a rough word, it is called "the bumpkin was scared stupid when he entered the city." .

All the gifts sent by Doppler are here, and the weapons and equipment of the two entire German infantry squads have not been damaged.

The rifle is G98, the standard rifle of the early German army. Although it is outdated and not as good as the 98K rifle in active service, its design is quite excellent... The Springfield rifle that Ma Run likes is also an imitation of it.

The machine gun is MG26, the standard machine gun of the second and third line troops of the German army. It is widely active in the Chinese battlefield. It is not a joke to say that many Chinese people know that Czechoslovakia passed the ZB26.

In terms of ammunition, the German army's counterattack after being ambushed was not so fierce, and the consumption did not exceed one-twentieth. Ivan asked people to collect all the bullets in the bullet belt and store them in the box. hair.

In addition, there are many standard equipment, such as steel helmets, bullet belts, ammunition belts, luggage, carrying equipment, water bottles, gas masks, engineer shovels, grenades, etc. If there are only a dozen guns, two machine guns, and a few boxes of bullets , piled up in the warehouse would only occupy a corner, so it wouldn't bring such a big impact to Huang Jiu.

As for the GrW36 50mm mortar that was supposed to be lying here, Ivan let Claire take it away as soon as it was captured.

He was the only artilleryman in the whole team, and he had to be familiarized with it, otherwise the mortar would be useless.

However, what is quite embarrassing is that even after more than two years of training, Claire will skillfully use the M2 60mm mortar, and her eyes will be darkened when facing this mortar.

Claire is a talented artilleryman. Ivan learned how to control the bazooka in the last reincarnation. Although the proficiency is at most 50%, it is also a sharp weapon that can teach this guy how to control individual anti-armor and anti-fire points. Listen to me Give him two more days to fully grasp how to use the bazooka.

However, he was almost driven crazy when facing the German GrW36 50mm mortar.

Mortars are his old profession, and the United States pays special attention to technical arms, and they spare no expense in training them. Naturally, this light mortar of the German guy is full of flaws and shortcomings in Claire's eyes.

Not long after he came back in the afternoon, Claire scolded the mortar when he saw people after he had ordered the mortar for a while.

"I have never seen a mortar with the entire barrel and its structure installed on the base in my life. Did the German designer eat too much?!"

According to Claire, there are big problems with this design concept.

The role of the bipod is not only to fix the mortar with the base, but also to adjust the range. The design on the bipod will allow the gunner to adjust it smoothly and quickly. However, the German GrW36 50mm mortar adjustment The thing with the range is a rotating sleeve. It doesn’t mean that you hold the handle and crank it like starting a tractor, but hold the rotating sleeve tightly and turn your wrist, release your palm to adjust your wrist, continue to hold the rotating sleeve and turn your wrist, and repeat the cycle until Adjust the range.

When Claire started to spin it, the whole face was written with the words "No love in life", and she probably greeted the eighteenth generation of the designer's ancestors in her heart.

The adjustment speed is about one-third of that of the bipod. You must know that this is a very fatal thing for a light mortar, which greatly affects the rate of fire and fire support... The battlefield is changing rapidly, etc. You are in position, and the infantry in front of you is almost wiped out by the enemy's machine guns.

If it's just the trouble of adjusting the shooting range, Claire thinks that it can be solved by continuous training and vigorous miracles. Another flaw almost made him give up struggling.

That's when Ivan was found.

"How about we sell this mortar on the black market and find a way to replace it with a Soviet or British mortar?"

Ivan refused without hesitation, not because he didn't want to touch the black market, but because he was very self-aware, "You think this gun is not good, so the businessmen in the black market are not much smarter than you? Soviet or British mortars are bound to be more expensive than them. And it’s a seller’s market, my brother, do you see that we have this capital exchange?”

As for what kind of shortcomings made Claire give up on herself?

It comes from the requirements of this mortar for the combat environment—whether it is a mortar with a bipod or the GrW41 36mm mortar that the German guy announced in 50, it needs to be leveled when firing. Otherwise there will be quite a lot of trouble.

The advantage of the bipod supporting the gun barrel is that no matter what the environment or terrain, you only need to dig a small piece of soil, and then insert the base into the soil. After the bipod is opened, continue to insert into the soil and adjust it slightly. It can be guaranteed to be at the same level, and there is no need to worry about various troubles caused by failure to level.

The GrW36 50mm mortar needs the entire base to fit the ground. Although it can be adjusted on slightly uneven ground through the balance mechanism, it is useless no matter how much you toss the balance mechanism when encountering complex and uneven ground. .

This kind of thing often happens when you are engaged in a battle - you are crazy and want to hit the enemy's machine gun fire point, but it takes time to level off, the surrounding terrain is so rough that you have a big headache, you have to make do with it Provide fire support, and then all the shells fired in the test hit their own heads.

Ivan does know that this gun has other flaws besides Claire’s complaints, that is, the range is too short, theoretically 50-520 meters, but in fact, it is already burnt if it can hit more than 300 meters, and it will happen after the linkage with the previous flaw. Quite a scary thing - having to choose a relatively flat terrain can easily expose the gunner to the enemy's muzzle. For an experienced rifleman at a distance of 300 meters, he can hit 10 shots even if he can't hit every shot. 5 rounds, not to mention the machine gun that came in one shot.

It is also a light mortar. The US-made M2 ​​60mm mortar has a range of more than 1 km. In terms of company-level fire support, there is really no light mortar that can compete with it in this era... This door The design of the cannon is too good, reaching the point where it dominates.

As a result, for gunners like Claire, other light mortars have shortcomings in addition to their shortcomings.

Fortunately, he also knows that the current conditions are very difficult, and he is trying to adapt to this mortar.

The seized GrW36 50mm mortar has a complete base of ammunition, a total of 4 rounds in 40 ammunition boxes.

外#$群/5~1=７>8{=8}０|７{#6~{1/*

In the German three-man mortar team in actual combat, the first gunner will carry self-defense weapons, binoculars, and tactical maps, the second gunner will carry the gun body and 2 boxes of shells, and the ammunition hand will carry the base and 2 boxes of shells.

The box has a handle that can be carried. Its shape is similar to the German ammunition box. It is very convenient to carry. The weight of 14 kg is actually not as exaggerated as uploaded on the Internet in later generations. At least Clare, who is good at using the M2 60mm mortar, thinks the weight is acceptable. The overly complex design leads to volume expansion and is not so convenient to carry.

"Compared with the number of our combat troops, the number of weapons is actually a bit excessive."

After scanning the entire warehouse, Huang Jiu said, "We still lack maintenance tools. At most, we can wipe them with a clean rag. If we put them in the warehouse, our logistics team will have to take them out and wipe them regularly, which will increase the workload for nothing."

The meaning is to expand the strength of the combat troops. Ivan does not deny this proposal, but the problem is that the total number of guerrillas is not so large now, counting less than a hundred people, and nearly half of them are combat soldiers.

The logistics manpower is already quite tight, and Ivan feels that he will be overwhelmed when he selects people to join the combat team... he will collapse immediately!

"Master Huang, don't be in such a hurry—!"

Yiwen knew that the old man in front of him was very capable, and he could pull in more than 100 people in the team if he greeted him, but most of these people were uncles, unwilling to work or work, and they might not even be willing to participate in training.. .... To put it simply, I just want to settle accounts with the Germans with a gun. Even if I know that every battle requires countless preparations, I don’t bother to do it. I just want to eat ready-made tailwinds.

"The expansion of the army will be delayed for a while, but the logistics team can continue to expand. Anyway, you have food in your hand, and whoever works will give food to him."

"Old man, I've been recruiting people for a long time." Huang Jiu replied, "But you also know that most of the young and strong people nearby are arrogant... Forget it, I'm angry when I mention it, anyway, you Everything is decided, we will be a little bit tired when we are tired."

Yiwen can understand the old man very well.

Most of the French who resisted the Germans in this area were no different from Bottas, and there were quite a few speculators. In the past, when Germany dominated them, they fell to the Germans for a living. Now that the Allied forces landed in Normandy, they immediately turned to the resistance organization when they saw that the German situation was over.

If you don't rush forward in battle, you will always be the first to get rewards for eating.

Ivan doesn't need this kind of person to enter the army.

Huang Jiu also knew the stakes, but he couldn't hold back his impatience. He wanted to get a lot of things done in one step, and then he saw a group of French people who came here cursing and leaving after hearing the rules, which made him angry.

Feeling that the old man wanted to help him, but encountered a lot of troubles and difficulties, Yiwen immediately realized that his experience as a family member was very inexperienced, and he needed to accumulate it—the previous 4 Where does Samsara need him to think about the logistics support system? Even if there is no officer like Captain Haldane watching over it, the US military system does not need him to worry too much, just reach out and ask for it.

The situation we are facing now is completely different from the previous 4 reincarnations. Ivan did not plan the logistics properly, nor did he think about the difficulties... Leaving everything to the old man in front of him is too irresponsible responsibility.

Among other things, at least... at least help Huang Jiu think of a solution to the difficulty, instead of waving his hand - I don't care, I want it, you have to get it done for me.

For example, regarding weapon maintenance, Ivan immediately found a way.

"As for the weapons dragged into the warehouse, I will let the combat troops carry out daily maintenance, without bothering the brothers in the logistics team."

During the maintenance, it can also pass on the knowledge of firearms to the soldiers-how did the failure come from?What should I do if I get stuck?How to load the bridge clip the fastest and how to maintain the magazine?How to tell if your gun needs maintenance.

"So much the better."

After thinking for a while, Ivan continued: "Change your clothes. If there is no war, I will let the combat soldiers handle it by themselves."

"Well... If there is a war, then there is no way, after all, they are going to the front line to fight desperately."

After solving these problems, Yiwen asked Huang Jiu if there were any other troublesome things to discuss and deal with them together. The old man said that he would solve the rest by himself.

It was supposed to talk in detail about the airborne troops in other areas, but both of them were attracted by the weapons and equipment in the warehouse again.

Ivan's thoughts drifted to the weapons and equipment of the entire infantry battalion that the captives had given.

To be honest, he was very greedy, and his saliva was about to flow out - the main firepower of the German infantry battalion was 81mm mortars, a total of 6 were equipped with a base number of ammunition, in addition to this battalion also had 2 Pak- Type 36 37mm anti-tank gun, equipped with a base ammunition.

37mm anti-tank gun, that's a good thing... Although it is now called a stepping stone, but in the early days of World War II, this gun was a proper can-opening artifact. The performance of the Polish and French campaigns was comparable brilliant.

It can't cope with the T-34 torrent, that's because the caliber is here, and this gun can also be used to deal with fortifications, bunkers, and firepower points.

For troops with only manpower, the 88 gun is too heavy and must be mounted on a tractor. However, even if Ivan has a car, he does not have enough fuel to support it. The PAK-36 37mm anti-tank gun is just right. It can rely on manpower alone, It is dragged by animal power, which is very suitable for guerrillas who need mobility.

It is these two anti-tank guns that Ivan has doubts about. When Botha led the team to attack the town of Savigny, Ivan only saw the Germans use the artillery to run away but did not see them use the PAK-36. According to the account of the prisoners ...These two cannons are the battalion commander's most valued possessions. Ordinary soldiers only know their names but not their real bodies.

Ivan seriously suspected that Lieutenant Colonel Hans had sent these two cannons into the black market. Otherwise, how could there be so much money to bribe middle and senior officials in the country for several months?

After regaining his senses, Yiwen shook Huang Jiu's shoulder, "Master Huang, we can't stay here anymore, let's go to another place to talk about the airborne troops in other areas, and then there is one more thing to trouble you... "

After wiping his wrinkled face, Huang Jiu reluctantly said, "What's the matter, tell me."

"Tonight, I want to take a few people to do it myself, and I must cooperate with your eyeliner."

"Do what?"

"Shock and deter traitors."

Ivan didn't forget to place Polly's body near the fighting area and write down the exact location.

24. You must give up fantasy and take up arms to fight! (6K)

Although Lieutenant Colonel Hans, the battalion commander of the German infantry battalion, is not very interested in the guerrillas, no one can be sure that this guy's superiors will not issue any death orders. In order to find Ivan... he will definitely use rape .

Ivan has no doubt that those French who couldn't stand the rules and left were resentful. Since Botha's defeat and death, the guerrilla troops have dropped sharply. Those who survived by chance knew that they were unlikely to harass them in the short term before they came back. german army.

So, isn't this a situation where you can be comfortable and comfortable while eating and drinking for nothing?

There happened to be a Second Lieutenant of the Allied Airborne Forces. He not only reorganized the remaining people, but also targeted those who had not participated in the training before, and set up many unacceptable rules, which led to the fact that it was not his own fault but he could not be confused. Mixed drinking... People are selfishness carved in their bones, only a small number of people restrain themselves, most of them are like birds - when you give more and more favors, he will not have The slightest gratitude, one day when he suddenly disappears, he will pick up troubles and find you to settle accounts. If you think you will give it to him, if you don’t give it to me, he will have to find something for you.

Traitor Polly is a typical example, it will not be the first and it will not be the last, so we need to do something to let the traitors see-everything I said at the conference was not to scare people.

What is the end of being a traitor!

This thing not only has to be done, but also has to be done in a big way, even if it uses active skills.

The benefits are obvious.

First of all, what Ivan said to Huang Jiu, there are so many treacherous people, it's useless to scare him with bare words, you can only be shocked by showing him something practical - the guerrillas are so courageous! ?They dared to hang the body of the traitor in the small town where the German army was stationed, and other traitors would naturally think: before doing anything, they must think about the consequences, or they will be the next one to be hung in the town.

The second is to make a name for yourself in this area.

Dare to hang the body of a traitor in a small town where the German army is stationed, it is not as simple as being brave, it is simply taking off your pants and urinating in front of a group of hungry lions!

The most important thing is that Ivan not only did this but also succeeded. Smarter rebels will immediately understand that this rebel organization is unusual-this kind of thing is not something that ordinary guerrillas can do. There are too many resistance organizations in France The more ruthless one is to go to the small town in the middle of the night and write "XXX is a traitor and deserves to be cut to death" on the wall.

Because directly hanging the body of the traitor in the small town where the German army is stationed, it will inevitably attract quite violent retaliation... Doing so by insufficient guerrillas is tantamount to courting death, only those teams with both ability and command to do it.

Then let Huang Jiu spread the word outside, and the gap in the logistics team will naturally be filled at a fairly fast speed. At that time, Ivan can carry out a small expansion of the army, so that the entire team can flourish and be able to challenge the entire German army like a snowball. The strength of the infantry battalion.

Deterring traitors and attracting talents, these two are one. As early as when Yi Wen came into contact with Huang Jiu and saw the guerrillas, he had a similar idea, but the speed of the traitors was faster than he expected. .

The two benefits alone are worth Ivan leading the team to do this, not to mention the third benefit and a incidental thing to do.

Naturally, the former wanted to inquire about the reality of the small town of Savigny. Taking advantage of the cover of night, wandering around in it to compare the positions of firepower deployment explained by the captives could greatly reduce the casualties of one's own side during future attacks.

The latter is to see if there is a chance to find Doppler and kill him, so the eyeliner provided by Huang Jiu is particularly important.

Yiwen told Huang Jiu all the above.

"But what about the Germans' revenge?" the old man asked, "You have seen how soft the bones of the traitors are. The Germans will always have a way to pry the mouths of these traitors."

Every good thing in the world needs to be paid for. God never drops pies for hungry people.

The price to be paid for so many benefits is not small. Don’t say anything joking, it is absolutely impossible for Ivan to command the German infantry battalion. If a few traitors come out, whoever can lead the way to eat and drink offerings, and whoever doesn't want to talk about it, then go to hell.

"Master Huang, are you scared?"

Ivan didn't evade this question, but he didn't answer it directly.

"Afraid?" Huang Jiu said with a look of disdain, "My family used to say that I was timid, but they didn't know that I didn't know what 'fear' is since I was a child!"

During the First World War, the French aid workers were deceived by various high salaries and welfare benefits. Many people regretted it before they arrived. Many people died when they crossed the ocean... Anyway, they can get Those who survived the hell-like environment at the beginning and stayed in France to accumulate a family business are all models of "suffering and daring".

"I know what you are worried about." Ivan said, "Anyway, you can guess the two possibilities, and I don't expect the German lieutenant colonel to ignore us at all, but no matter what the consequences are, tonight's trip is doomed. "

"Can't it be delayed for two days? Besides, although those criminals are afraid, they are even more afraid of the torture and torture of the Germans. One of the three benefits will be removed first." Huang Jiu reminded, "Besides, the aforementioned Regarding the matter of other paratroopers, I don't have any definite news from here. After accumulating more strength, we will have time to do it again, right?"

"It's really not good to delay for two days."

It's not that Yiwen's time in this reincarnation is relatively tight, and it takes less than a month to calculate, but that the guerrillas must grow at the fastest speed.

If Ivan came to France to lead a guerrilla team in 42 or 43, he would definitely take his time, because the German army was not as close to doomed as it is now in the form of war at that time, and any head-to-head encounter would be self-destructive.

The current German army has been almost abolished by the Soviet army. Most of the troops capable of combat are SS. It cannot be said that all the Wehrmacht on the Western Front are doing badly, but at least 8% of the troops are trying to find a way out for themselves.

Its complexity is beyond imagination, especially for mid-level commanders.

The final path is naturally to surrender the Allied forces, but there is a big difference between surrender and surrender. Some battalion commanders are not like prisoners after surrendering. After the battalion commander surrendered, he thought he could live a comfortable life, but was sentenced to life imprisonment.

"You also interrogated the prisoners. The battalion commander of the German army has no interest in us. Such behavior will make him seriously destroy us."

Huang Jiu hit upon the core contradiction of Yiwen's late-night operation.

"Grandpa, do you think the German battalion commander will never change?" Ivan replied, "The words of the captives are very credible, but people always change...for a wish, an idea, a The goal, in other words—what is the main conflict that Lieutenant Colonel Hans is currently facing? He wants to return to China to find a leisurely job and wait for Germany to defeat and surrender, and he has spent a lot of money and energy for this."

However, the bribery that has lasted for several months has no effect. The middle and high-level officials in Germany obviously take money and do nothing... Once such a person fails to achieve his wish, his revenge is quite terrible. When Lieutenant Colonel Hans knows It is impossible for him to return to the country and he can only stay in France and wait for the Allied forces to advance to the small town of Savigny. The main contradiction disappears, and then the secondary contradiction becomes the main contradiction.
