Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

It was September, and when the night was quiet, Xu Le arrived at the iron mine on time.

The iron mine has implemented a 24-hour work system, but not two shifts, but three shifts. Under the huge temptation of a monthly salary of 3 yuan for night shifts, more than two-thirds of the miners choose to work the night shift.

Anyway, there was a lot of excess manpower before, and after this arrangement, everyone has a real job, and the daily output is more than twice as much as before.

The guards were also ordered to keep alert and no one was allowed to approach tonight.

"System, exchange all the iron ores for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining military merit points"

As the system prompt sounded, the ore piled high on the open space disappeared, and the balance skyrocketed.

Personal panel:

Host: Xu Le

Military Merit Points:

Attribute: Equal treatment [The killing effect of the system-produced characters is the same as that of the host]

Space: L118 105mm howitzer [72], Unimog truck [138], Hongyan CQ261 truck [40], L16 81mm mortar [216], RPG-7 rocket launcher [180], gold [2300 kg], ocean [ ], antiques, ammunition, fuel...

"It's better to have money in my wallet to feel at ease. It's been empty these past two days. I can't eat or sleep well. I can't even get up in the morning!"

He had already planned everything he wanted to buy in the past two days, so he did it all in one go.

12 Unimog trucks were purchased, although the army was only short of two. But Xu Le had obsessive-compulsive disorder and it would be nice to have 100 of them. Anyway, they would be placed in the space after they were purchased, and would not take up manpower in the army or consume military merit points.

Although there are a lot of supplies in the headquarters, most of them are concentrated in the logistics department. In fact, the other two major departments are just prototypes and there are no important items. All together, 50 Unimogs are enough.

Although the Hongyan CQ261 truck has a strong loading capacity, it is not suitable for use around Meidong Mountain. The terrain is too bad and the average passing speed does not even reach 20 kilometers per hour.

If it weren't for the logistical pressure of automatic rifles and MG42 general-purpose machine guns, Xu Le would have wanted to temporarily abandon the deployment of Hongyan CQ261.

After two days of careful consideration, he decided to equip all infantry regiments with BJ212 jeeps. The troops were in great need of assault power, and even if the BJ212 was replaced by Hummer in the future, the eliminated vehicles could be sold to the Tang army.

Anyway, he has never considered recycling it back to the system, as that would be too much of a loss.

It's not that he lost money because of the 8% discount, but it was much more cost-effective to sell it directly. Even if he sold the jeep at the price of 2000 kilograms of pig iron, he could get 2000 military merit points, which was enough to buy two more.

This is the comparison. If the system is set up so that buying and selling cannot be allowed, recycling is actually very cost-effective.

It's a pity that there is no harm without comparison. I don't know if it's a system bug or it's just the setting. Anyway, Xu Le just said:

You may feel that you have made a profit, but I will never lose!

The remaining three regiments require 3 BJ195 jeeps. 212 of them can be purchased directly, and the rest can be used by the communication troops at the cost of military merit points.

Equip the two brigade-directed field artillery battalions with 10 small Type radios, which consumes military merit points.

"The basic organization of the troops has been basically completed except for the air defense troops. Now that we have enough military merit points, it is time to put the deployment of tanks on the agenda. Although we cannot equip the troops in a short period of time, the tank soldiers can start training in advance. With the guidance of the almighty king like the Guard, training tank soldiers will not be a problem!"

The tanks purchased were naturally the planned Type 59 main battle tanks, each costing 7000 military merit points. 30 tanks were purchased and military merit points were consumed.

This is why it is impossible to form an armored force in a short period of time. According to Xu Le's idea, the crew of the Type 59 main battle tank is 4 people. A tank platoon has 4 tanks, and if calculated based on the 33 system, the number of tanks in a tank regiment is about 108, requiring 432 troops.

In addition, the tank regiment also needs to be equipped with armored transport vehicles to transport infantry to ensure the most basic ground infantry-tank coordinated combat. Based on the ratio of armored transport vehicles to tanks of 3 to 1, 36 armored transport vehicles are needed.

Xu Le did not look at the price of the armored transport vehicle. It was definitely cheaper than the tank, but not much cheaper. It would consume a huge amount of military merit points!

Just for this, a regiment's military merit points consumption is about 100 million.

Moreover, if the tank unit's organization limit is at the regimental level, it must be equipped with fuel trucks and ammunition trucks. Even if the ratio to tanks is 1 to 2, 108 vehicles will be needed. Although this can be replaced by Unimog trucks, trucks are not cheap, and the cost is nearly 11.

If a tank division is formed, the brigade-level organization will be cancelled and it will be composed of 3 tank regiments, 1 armored infantry regiment, 1 mechanized artillery regiment, 1 air defense regiment, 1 logistics support regiment, plus reconnaissance battalions, engineering battalions, anti-tank battalions and communications battalions. The expenses are simply unimaginable.

Xu Le took another look at the balance of military merit points on the panel:.

In a few minutes, it was almost back to zero.

"It is estimated that the Zhongtiaoshan Campaign will break out in a few days. During these few days, we must let the troops quickly adapt to various equipment, especially the L118 howitzers and RPG-7 rocket launchers.

With the Bofors mountain gun as a foundation, it won’t take long for artillerymen to get familiar with the L118 howitzer, and basically anyone can get started with the rocket launcher in a day.”

........

Fortunately, the Japanese had been deploying the Zhongtiao Mountain Campaign for several months and had no extra energy to deal with the 176th Division, otherwise the 176th Division would not have had enough time to adapt after occupying Meidong Mountain.

The Japanese 114th Division mobilized all its troops to participate in the siege because its commander was eager to make a contribution. Otherwise, there would have been only troops at most participating in the attack.

The number of troops was increasing. To be on the safe side, Xu Le asked the guards to drive around deliberately, pretending to be transporting people.

The next night, Xu Le followed suit and took out all the weapons except for leaving 10 Unimog trucks in the space.

On the third day, September 9, new recruits were selected to participate in bazooka training, and each regiment began to replace its M3 mortars. The L1 mortar became the standard medium-caliber mortar of the 16th Division.

Elites were selected from the artillery battalions of each regiment to participate in the training of the L118 howitzer. Some new recruits filled the vacancies in the Bofors artillery battalion and continued training.
