Li Yunlong's eyes lit up slightly and he asked hurriedly, secretly thinking that his guess was right, Brother Chen really had a way.
Chen Feng took a bite and said: "If I don't want to use the 10mm howitzer, I can use the flamethrower to burn the Japanese in the bunkers and gun towers into roast pigs."
Chen Feng had given Li Yunlong a taste of weapons like flamethrowers.
However, Li Yunlong and the soldiers seemed not very interested in this weapon, so there was no further discussion.
When he was in southeastern Shanxi, after removing the bunkers and turrets, there was an option to exchange for flamethrowers, but Li Yunlong mostly exchanged them for bazookas and 0mm cannons.
flamethrower?
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
If Chen Feng hadn't said it, they would have almost forgotten that the New Regiment was equipped with this weapon. The flamethrower seemed to be really useful for dealing with such thick-skinned bunkers and turrets.
Just imagine, the Japs are hiding in thick bunkers and gun towers and cannot come out. As long as the flamethrowers can get close to the Japs' bunkers and gun towers, a burst of flames can turn the Japs into roasted pigs.
The disadvantage of the flamethrower is that it has a short range, and the flamethrower must carry the flamethrower close to the Japanese bunker or gun tower to be effective.
But this is much better than holding explosive packs and grenades to blow up Japanese bunkers and gun towers.
"Brother, what kind of price can you offer for removing such a turret and bunker?"
Li Yunlong asked calmly.
He was weighing the pros and cons. If the price was lower, he would wait until the Japs were in the construction stage and kill all the Japs outside the county town before carrying out massacres on the Japs in the county town.
If the price is indeed very good, then wait for the Japanese to build bunkers and turrets, and then use flamethrowers to remove them one by one.
If the flamethrower is not effective, then the strategic weapon 10mm howitzer can only be used, and the 36th Division will definitely be solved by the new regiment.
"The price of dismantling a thickened bunker and turret is twice that of an ordinary reinforced concrete bunker and turret," Chen Feng said.
Li Yunlong frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the table. The price was a bit low.
The materials used to construct thickened bunkers and turrets are twice that of ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets.
But the difficulty of taking it down is by no means twice that of ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Feng said: "In addition, if the new regiment can take down 100 of these thickened Japanese bunkers and gun towers, then I will cover the helmets of the officers and soldiers of the new regiment. No matter how much the new regiment expands in the future,
Man, how many helmets can I provide?"
The helmet provided by Chen Feng is also a domestically produced equipment, gk80a type helmet.
gk is the abbreviation of the steel helmet, 80 represents the year it was equipped to the army, and a represents the improved model.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes suddenly became a little fiery.
The armies of mainstream European and American countries are basically equipped with steel helmets, and the little devils are also equipped with steel helmets. Even some elite military units such as German weapon divisions are also equipped with steel helmets.
However, Japan did not have the ability to produce helmets of its own. It initially equipped French helmets, and later equipped British MK helmets, German M3 helmets, etc.
During World War II, soldiers from all countries basically wore steel helmets. It was not that Chinese soldiers did not want to wear steel helmets, but because of China's situation, it was simply not possible for all Chinese soldiers to wear steel helmets.
For the self-sufficient Eighth Route Army soldiers who have been fighting the Japanese on the battlefield behind enemy lines for a long time, the steel helmet is more like a luxury item.
Although some warlords also specially imitated a batch of steel helmets, the materials used in these helmets were very poor, the quality could not be guaranteed, and their effectiveness in actual combat was not very good.
However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew that the products produced by Brother Chen must be high-quality.
The quality of the helmets he sells is absolutely impeccable.
If the soldiers of the new regiment are equipped with steel helmets, the chances of the soldiers surviving on the battlefield will be much greater.
Although the helmet cannot protect against rifle bullets head-on, it is very effective against handgun bullets, stray bullets and explosive shrapnel.
After all, if a soldier is hit elsewhere on the battlefield, he still has a chance to survive. If he is hit in the head, the chance of survival is very small, and the role of the helmet is to protect the head.
And the most important thing is that Brother Chen said that he would buy all the helmets for the new regiment soldiers in the future.
This is a very big gesture.
If the new regiment expands to hundreds of thousands in the future, which means hundreds of thousands of helmets, then this business will be extremely profitable.
Captain Li was scratching his head, but on the surface he pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I, Li Yunlong, have taken over this business, but... can I give you a deposit first?"
"No problem!" Chen Feng said, "You can give me a deposit for a thousand helmets first."
"To fight thickened bunkers and turrets, are you going to use a 10mm howitzer or a flamethrower?"
Chen Feng generally doesn't care how Li Yunlong fights. In terms of fighting, Li Yunlong is an expert and Chen Feng is a layman.
However, such bunkers and gun towers were difficult to deal with and had to be treated with caution. He was also afraid that the new regiment would be hit hard accidentally.
"Let's try the flamethrower first." Li Yunlong said, "If the flamethrower doesn't work, then use the 10mm howitzer. By the way, the price of the flamethrower is the same as before, right?"
After all, the 10mm howitzer is Li Yunlong's trump card and will not be used easily.
Now Dagu Town is connected to Zhaojiayu by highway, and most of the enemy's bunkers and gun towers are built along the highway.
At night, the new regiment can use the Jiefang brand truck to pull out the 10mm howitzer at any time to blast the thickened Japanese turrets and bunkers.
Before dawn, the 10mm howitzer was pulled back and hidden in the tunnel, but the Japanese were helpless.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong said: "Brother, give me 0, no, 80 flamethrowers. Deduct them from the total of 160. For the remaining 80, give me 40 bazookas and 40 0mm guns."
Machine cannon."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang suddenly smiled and toasted Chen Feng, thanking him repeatedly.
…
Heyuan County.
36th Division Headquarters.
Iseki Ren, Ishikawa Harishui and several commanders are holding a combat meeting in the conference room.
"Reporting to the head of the division!"
The communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand and hurried to the conference room. He bowed his head to Jingguan Ren and said: "Report to the division commander, Commander Iwamatsu, there is an urgent message!"
Jing Guanren signaled everyone to take a short break, then turned around and took the telegram from the hands of the communications staff and read it.
The content of the telegram was clearly that the First Army had decided to build thickened reinforced concrete and bunkers around the new regiment.
Although the contents of the plan had been decided by Yoshio Iwamatsu yesterday, it took another day to send the contents of the plan to the North China Front Army Headquarters and obtain the approval of Neji Okamura.
After all, this plan requires a lot of steel and concrete materials.
It is not comparable to the materials used in masonry structure turrets and bunkers like Shun Tada's cage policy.
For example, a masonry factory can supply the materials needed for hundreds of turrets and bunkers, and with a small amount of cement, they can be built.
"Yoshi!"
"Commander Iwamatsu is wise!"
After reading the telegram, Jingguan Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
Ishikawa Zhishui's expression on the side changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Division commander, Commander Yansong is going to send more troops to northwest Shanxi. Have Li Yunlong and the new regiment been completely eliminated?"
Jingguan Ren waved his hand: "It's not about increasing troops."
Ishikawa Jisui looked confused. Since it was not an increase in troops, why was the division commander so happy?
"You all take a look, but you must keep it a secret!"
Iseki Ren saw Ishikawa's expression and handed him the telegram.
After Ishikawa Zhishui read it, he handed the telegram to several captains. Everyone looked excited after reading it.
Captain Yoshino Naoyashi of the 3rd Regiment looked excited: "Commander Iwamatsu is really generous. Once these gun towers and bunkers are built, we can completely blockade Li Yunlong and the New Regiment!"
Ishikawa Zhiyue quickly calmed down and narrowed his eyes: "It will take some time to transport materials from North China to northwestern Shanxi, but I'm afraid Li Yunlong will launch a general attack tonight."
Last night and the night before, the new regiment attacked the blockade, destroying two-thirds of the bunkers and gun towers, and the Japanese soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
In the view of the Japanese officers of the 36th Division, with Li Yunlong's fighting style, Chen Sheng would definitely pursue him and launch a more violent attack tonight, destroying all the bunkers and gun towers in one fell swoop.
Then all units of the 36th Division were sealed inside the county town.
Naturally, Jingguan Ren and the Japanese officers would not sit still and wait for death, and were planning how to give the new regiment a hard blow.
Jingguan Ren glanced at everyone and said: "After dark, all the imperial troops will withdraw from the bunkers and gun towers, and send the Imperial Army into the bunkers and gun towers. All the imperial troops in the county will be dispatched to ambush the bunkers with heavy weapons."
and the two sides of the gun towers. When the Eighth Route Army broke through the bunkers and the gun towers, the imperial army suddenly launched an attack from both sides."
Then, Jingguan Ren narrowed his eyes and said with murderous intent in his voice: "I want to fish tonight."
Anyway, those bunkers and gun towers need to be rebuilt into stronger and thicker ones, and it doesn't matter if they are taken away by the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese never regarded the puppet troops as human beings, but regarded the puppet troops as cannon fodder, and they could also use them to consume the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army.
This plan can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Ishikawa Harishui's eyes flashed sharply: "If this plan is implemented, even if it cannot completely eliminate the new group, it will definitely be severely damaged."
"So!" Jing Guanren glanced at the several commanders again, with a cold tone, "In this battle, no one is allowed to leak information. If someone leaks information, the Eighth Route Army will know it in advance, which will lead to my fishing plan.
If he fails, I will definitely send him to a military court!"
"Hi!" The three captains looked serious and nodded in unison.
"The meeting is dismissed!" Jingguan Ren said.
Then a group of officers walked out quickly with sabers in hand.
