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

Five 5-kilogram mountain cannons are a deterrent to any army, so the Jin Army only dared to carry so many, and they had to be dismantled and transported back by different routes!

After getting the iron, Xu Le exchanged all of it immediately. Why keep it?

I don't produce weapons nor do I run an arsenal. I'm just a weapons carrier.

"Hahahaha, I got 5 military merit points. I'm rich, rich!"

Fortunately, Xu Da is a cyborg and has no emotions, otherwise he would have vomited all over the floor when he saw Xu Le drooling.

It's so fucking disgusting, there's a puddle of saliva on the ground!

"Ahem, Xu Da and Xu Er, step up your vigilance. I need to buy some equipment!" After rubbing the saliva on the ground with his feet and wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth, Xu Le instructed the two men.

There are differences in appearance among the 500 members, but they all have cold faces, which makes identification more difficult. Xu Le simply numbered them from 1 to 500 and wrote serial numbers on each person's shoulder straps to avoid making mistakes.

These are his personal troops, which are closer to him than the guards and his own troops.

Being so wealthy for the first time, he directly opened the system mall and started shopping.

There was no need to look at the rifle page any further, as he already had the weapon he wanted, the M5 rifle worth 16 merit points, and he simply bought 5000 of them, along with 5.56 million rounds of 500 bullets.

Military merit points decreased.

Next is the machine gun page:

"Taisho 15-year-old light machine gun, this piece of junk is actually sold for military merit points, it's too much of a rip-off."

"25 military merit points for a Bren light machine gun. A copy of the ZB26 that it refuses to admit is actually sold at a higher price than the ZB26. Where does this courage come from?"

"Hmm? The MG34 general-purpose machine gun is actually sold for 40 military merit points. But the MG42 has better performance. Although it costs 50 military merit points, it is still worth it!"

Finally, Xu Le turned his attention to the MG42 light machine gun, which is known as the chainsaw. It has a firing rate of over 1200 rounds per minute and can fire 20 bullets per second. One gun can block the advance of thousands of infantrymen.

"Buy 100 to test the waters first!"

He did not have too many choices because the MG42 general-purpose machine gun had high requirements for the machine gunner. The rate of fire was too fast and the recoil generated was also very large. The machine gunner must be skilled in operation, otherwise it was likely that a lot of bullets would be fired but very few would hit the target.

He was not afraid of the consumption of the barrel. It was very convenient to change the barrel of MG42. Just pull the buckle and tilt the gun body, and the barrel will fall off by itself. The whole process takes no more than 5 seconds. Do not touch the hot barrel with your hands.

More importantly, all guns can be provided with corresponding barrels and magazines for free and in unlimited quantities, and cannot be recycled.

As for bullets, another 7.92 million rounds of 500mm caliber Mauser rifle bullets were purchased, which is equivalent to 5 rounds of bullets for each gun, which is enough for use for a while!

Military merit points decreased by 5500.

"It's time to prepare the mortars. There are too many mountains in Jin Province. The high firing angle of the mortars can have a huge destructive effect on buildings and enemies behind the mountains!"

31 Type Mortar: 100 military merit points.

NR493 mortar: 100 military merit points.

M965 Mortar: 100 military merit points.

.....

The ones at the front are all 60mm caliber, so Xu Le naturally would not want them. Although they are light and easy to carry, they have low power and a short range.

Type 81 150mm Mortar: military merit points.

Type 90 170mm artillery-class gun: military merit points.

...

In the end, Xu Le chose the M1 mortar based on the current situation of the troops and the future combat needs in the short term.

It is a medium-caliber mortar produced by the United States a few years ago. Its range is a little longer than the Japanese Type 81 150mm mortar, and it is also lighter. The price is also military merit points.

In fact, he prefers the M1938 mortar, which has a caliber of 120 mm, great power, and a maximum range of 6 kilometers, but it weighs 280 kilograms, so he is not considering it for the time being.

The plan is to replace the M1 after the troops are expanded and get used to the M1938.

"Let's exchange 100 guns first as transitional equipment! And 10 shells!"

Military merit points decreased again.

Originally, as a transitional equipment, there was no need to buy so many shells. Because Xu Le was Chinese, he was born with a fear of insufficient firepower, so he prepared 1000 shells for each gun.

When a war breaks out, don't worry about anything else, just use artillery shells to flatten the enemy's positions!

"Fuck! How did it spend so quickly!"

Maybe because he was very poor in his previous life, Xu Le developed the habit of checking his balance all the time, so he opened his personal panel and took a look.

In just a short while, all the military merit points were spent, and only were left.

"Shit, I haven't bought the heavy machine guns and artillery yet, what am I supposed to do? Oh, I can only save money!"

Helplessly, he had to slide the interface of the heavy machine gun with trembling hands.

Although the Type 100 heavy machine gun has good performance, its rate of fire is too slow, only about rounds per minute, and it is too heavy to be convenient to move.

"No, that's not right. I already have an MG42 general-purpose machine gun with an effective range of 1000 meters. If it is used as a heavy machine gun with a tripod, the whole gun only weighs 30 kilograms. There is no need to get a heavy machine gun of the same caliber!"

"Besides, there aren't many left now. Although the logistics of MG42 ammunition is a big problem, I can definitely form a machine gun squad and give them more manpower to carry ammunition."

"And I can store some bullets in the space first, and then take them out when I'm on the battlefield. I just need to let the guards watch them and make sure no one finds out!"

Thinking of this, Xu Le directly gave up the heavy machine gun and opened the artillery interface!

There is no need for large-caliber artillery, and there are not so many choices for mountain artillery and field artillery. Among the 75mm mountain artillery, Bofors can be regarded as the best choice. The Japanese mountain artillery is like a clown in front of it.

The main mountain cannon of the Tang Dynasty army was the Bofors mountain cannon, but the Tang Dynasty did not have the ability to imitate it and could only rely on imports.

The National Guard could not afford to buy many at the high price of 8 oceans per piece. It was said that the entire Tang army was equipped with no more than a thousand artillery pieces, which were scattered in various places.

The Japanese had thousands of artillery pieces in North China alone.

Adjusting the purchase amount to 100 guns, Xu Le clicked the purchase button and bought 10 shells.
