Chapter 293: Wang Chengzhu: Our old Wang has also lived the life of an artillery regiment commander!
"Two times...I can barely do it."
"Chief, for such a huge super achievement, wouldn't it be inappropriate to only give him the right to act independently once?"
With a smile on his face, Captain Li carefully bargained with the boss.
"You want two more times?" the boss scolded with a smile, "I'll give you one time. It's either the right to act independently once, or another request. It's your choice."
"Okay, just once." Li Yunlong reluctantly agreed.
Now the new regiment is not short of food, clothing, and weapons and ammunition.
He never thought of relying on his superiors for food, clothing, weapons and ammunition. He had his own channels.
Instead of thinking about being promoted to brigade commander, Li Yunlong just wanted to develop the new regiment and do bigger business.
Li Yunlong also accepted the opportunity to have the entire team mobilize to engage in side business.
Last time, our old man, Li, took advantage of the right to act independently and completely wiped out the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.
Now that the new group has grown several times, we must make good use of this opportunity and strive to develop a bigger side business.
The division commander and brigade commander would not have any objections either. Although they were afraid that Li Yunlong would create a huge problem, when he did so, it was the Japanese who would often have a headache.
Moreover, if Li Yunlong makes a fortune, he can also fight against the autumn wind, so why not?
"Then let's do it. One credit and one request, and I'll satisfy you." The boss said.
"Thank you, chief!"
Li Yunlong looked solemn and straightened his body.
The boss raised his wrist and looked at his Roman watch: "It's lunch time. Let's go and try the food in the arsenal."
…
After lunch at the arsenal, Li Yunlong took the guards and rushed back to Yangcun without stopping.
By this time, the troops he arranged to receive the goods should have transported the howitzer battalion, mountain cannons, machine guns and corresponding artillery shells back to Yangcun.
Commander Li couldn't wait to see his howitzer.
After riding horses for about an hour, Li Yunlong and Hu Zi returned to Yangcun.
Village entrance.
The logistics transport team and the cavalry battalion were transporting ammunition boxes to the village, and the team formed a long queue of more than one kilometer on the mountain road.
When Sun Desheng heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, he turned around and saw Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu. He gave a military salute: "Captain!"
Li Yunlong returned the military salute and then asked: "Sun Desheng, where is the howitzer?"
"It will be transported back to the village first." Sun Desheng raised the corner of his mouth, "Captain, that howitzer is really big, it takes three mules and horses to pull it."
Li Yunlong looked happy and hurriedly led Huang Erhu on horseback to the village.
From a distance, I could see 12 howitzers placed in 2 rows on the grain drying field, and many soldiers and villagers were watching.
Many ammunition boxes have been piled up on the grain drying field, and Wang Chengzhu and the soldiers from the artillery battalion are assembling the mountain cannon.
The howitzers were hoisted and delivered by helicopters, while the mountain guns were disassembled and dropped by air as before.
Li Yunlong dismounted, handed the reins to Huang Erhu, and walked quickly towards the howitzer.
Twelve howitzers were displayed on the grain drying ground like muscles, and Li Yunlong's eyes fell on the tall and powerful howitzers, and he couldn't bear to look away.
A group of artillerymen saluted Li Yunlong, and then he came back to his senses and returned the military salute, and then turned his attention to the howitzer.
He reached out and touched the barrel of the gun, then patted the mantlet, with an extremely satisfied smile on his face.
So delicious!
In the Huaihai battlefield in the original drama, Li Yunlong's Second Division fought against Chu Yunfei's 73rd Division at Zhaozhuang.
Chu Yunfei owned an American 105 howitzer battalion, which made Li Yunlong so envious that he almost wanted to stay.
When he broke through the siege in the Central Plains, Li Yunlong captured several howitzers, but they were too heavy for the troops to take away. They were blown up by Li Yunlong's order. Looking at the several howitzers that were blown up, Li Yunlong almost lost his soul.
It can be seen that Commander Li Da loves howitzers.
For the current Commander Li, he loves beauties and howitzers even more.
Even more excited than Li Yunlong was Artillery Battalion Commander Wang Chengzhu, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Isn't this big guy more powerful than mortars and mountain cannons?
"Captain, commander?"
Wang Chengzhu walked up to Li Yunlong and shouted twice before Li Yunlong turned around.
"This is the performance data of the howitzer." Wang Chengzhu handed an order to Li Yunlong's hand.
Li Yunlong picked it up and took a look.
Le.FH18 howitzer:
Caliber: 105 mm
Gun carriage length: 6.10 meters
Total combat weight: 1525kg
Total length of gun: 2.94 meters; width: 1.98 meters; height: 1.88 meters
Artillery elevation angle: -10 degrees - +40 degrees; artillery firing range: left and right plus or minus 57 degrees
Shell weight: 14.97kg; maximum rate of fire: 7 rounds/minute
Muzzle velocity: 469 meters/second; maximum range: 10671 meters
Staffing: 8 people.
After reading it, Captain Li nodded with satisfaction. This performance is so good.
The maximum range is 10671 meters, which is 2 kilometers farther than the 75 Mountain Cannon. There are also 30 kilograms of shells. How powerful is it?
This means that if you use it to bombard Taiyuan Airport, you can just build an artillery position 10 kilometers away.
Moreover, this powerful explosion can cover a large area. Can the small Taiyuan Airport withstand a few cannons from Mr. Li?
Now we, Lao Li, have 3 air support in hand. If a war breaks out, we can use 1 air support to kill the Japanese airport.
I just don’t know if blowing up the Japanese plane like this will give me mountain artillery?
Wang Chengzhu continued: "We also presented 2 artillery scopes, 2 precision maps, 4 radios, and 200 camouflage nets."
"Haha..." Li Yunlong looked satisfied, "Brother Chen is quite thoughtful."
After a pause, Wang Chengzhu asked tentatively: "Commander, how many of these 12 howitzers can we keep?"
Li Yunlong said: "We will keep 2 doors, and the remaining 10 doors will be handed over to the headquarters."
"There are only 2 doors?" Wang Chengzhu's face fell, "It's too few, why should we leave 4 doors?"
"What the hell is your expression like?" Li Yunlong's face turned solemn, "This return to duty is the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, and it is sacrosanct and inviolable. Let alone two of us, even if we don't leave one, we can't complain at all!"
Although Captain Li often concealed and seized items, he did not allow his subordinates to do the same.
After all, he handed over the captured items to the brigade headquarters, and his subordinates handed over the captured items to his regiment headquarters. If his subordinates wanted to imitate him, would he still be able to serve as a regimental commander?
"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu straightened up and did not dare to complain.
Commander Li Da suddenly changed his smile and said with a laugh: "Zhuzi, don't be discouraged, we can keep 8 of the 18 new mountain cannons, which adds up to 36 cannons, a standard artillery regiment.
"
Wang Chengzhu's eyes suddenly lit up again: "Captain, is this true?"
"How can this be false?" Li Yunlong snorted, "Although you are an artillery battalion commander, from now on you will live the life of an artillery regiment commander."
When Wang Chengzhu heard this, his lips almost reached his ears.
A year ago, he was just a master mortar gunner. In just one year, our old man has already lived the life of an artillery regiment commander.
Cool!
Zhao Gang walked from the direction of the regiment headquarters and saw Li Yunlong standing next to a howitzer. As he walked over, he shouted: "Old Li, Old Li."
Li Yunlong turned to look at Zhao Gang, who asked: "Old Li, are you back? Is the reception of the production line going smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly." Li Yunlong nodded, "All the machine tools and equipment for the production line are in place. It will take up to two or three days. After the machines and equipment are assembled and the technicians are familiar with the machines, equipment and processes, our arsenal can start producing mortars.
and mortars."
"Great!" Zhao Gang first breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched his fists with excitement.
In a year at most, the combat effectiveness of the entire Eighth Route Army will be raised to a higher level. The era of the Eighth Route Army lacking company- and battalion-level artillery support is about to change.
Li Yunlong added: "Director Cheng of the arsenal also said that in the future, the weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal will be given priority to our new regiment, and he will give us as much as we need."
Now that the Huangyadong Arsenal can produce its own smokeless gunpowder, the days when low-quality, low-power weapons and ammunition such as hand grenades and explosive packets are made in border areas are gone forever.
At present, the new regiment is about to add 1,500 recruits, and the total number will exceed 6,000. There is a huge demand for grenades and explosive packs.
In the past, Commander Li Da disliked the weak power of the border area. From now on, he will give me as much as he has.
In fact, the main reason restricting the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is poor weapons and equipment, a serious shortage of ammunition, and the inability to keep up with logistical supplies.
If the Eighth Route Army had the same equipment and logistical supplies as the National Army, it would be able to beat the Japanese in North China to the point where they would kneel down and call them daddy. This would not be bragging.
During the battle to defend Huangyadong, the special agent regiment directly under the headquarters had sufficient ammunition supplies backed by the arsenal, and fought against Japanese forces several times their own, achieving a battle loss ratio of six to one between the enemy and ourselves.
Li Yunlong continued: "Brother Chen also sent three high-power diesel engines. In the future, our production speed of grenades, explosive packets and artillery shells will also be greatly improved."
"Really?" Zhao Gang smiled happily, "Then we have to treat Brother Chen to a drink."
"How many times have I invited him to come only once?" Li Yunlong looked thoughtful, "Brother Chen seems to be very busy?"
"He doesn't have to come, but we have to invite him." Zhao Gang said, "After all, Brother Chen has helped us a lot, and this service must be in place."
"This reminds me." Li Yunlong nodded: "Brother Chen looks to be in his early 20s, and he probably hasn't married yet. Next time we have the opportunity to get a Japanese girl as a gift for him, what do you think, Lao Zhao?
"
"Then you have to ask Brother Chen if he likes it first." Zhao Gang said, "If Brother Chen likes it, it's not impossible..."
"Okay, I'll ask him next time we meet." Li Yunlong nodded.
"Old Zhao." Li Yunlong said, "You arrange for the cavalry battalion and the logistics transport team to deliver 10 howitzers, 10 mountain cannons, 80 machine guns and corresponding weapons and ammunition to the headquarters."
"Isn't this your job?" Zhao Gang asked, "Then what are you doing?"
Captain Li poked his hand: "I'm going to invite Brother Chen out and ask if he has any information about his side business. I'll lend him more than 300 semi-automatic rifles and more than 300 Yunlong knives on credit. By the way, I'll ask Brother Chen if he wants to go to Japan.
