Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Of course, Lin Tian wasn’t too surprised by the weapons production line and stuff.

Even if the system doesn't give it to him, he will find a way to build an arsenal.

This kind of high-quality and low-cost weapon is of course the first one to be produced.

What surprised Lin Tian the most were the two Iowa-class battleships.

This thing was the largest-displacement first-class battleship of the American Navy during World War II.

Lin Tian remembered that a total of four battleships of this type were built, including the USS Missouri, on the deck of which the unconditional surrender signing ceremony of the Japanese was held in Tokyo Bay.

I didn’t expect the system to be so generous and give him two ships at once!

Lin Tian quickly clicked on the weapon details and checked them out.

[Iowa-class battleship, standard displacement tons, full load displacement tons.

The ship is 270.4 meters long, 32.92 meters wide, has a draft of 10 meters and is 262.5 meters long at the waterline.

Power: 8 boilers, 4 steam turbines.

The designed speed is 35 knots, the fuel load is 8765 tons, and the maximum cruising range is nautical miles.

The ship's armor thickness is 312 mm, the transverse armor thickness is 287 mm, and the side armor belt is 307 mm.

装备三联装Mk.7406毫米/50倍口径火炮9门，双联装127毫米/38倍径高平两用炮10门，四联装博福斯40毫米高射炮80门，厄利孔20毫米高射炮60门。】

This thing is a complete sea behemoth.

Lin Tian clearly remembered that during the Pacific War in World War II, the Iowa-class battleships mainly participated in combat activities in the Pacific Ocean.

With its high speed and powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it accompanies aircraft carrier task forces and supports amphibious landing operations.

He successively participated in naval operations against the Japanese pirates, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Battle of Okinawa, and the bombardment of the Japanese pirates' homeland.

only……

Lin Tian felt a headache just thinking about it.

Where is the sea in northwest Shanxi?

We can't just stuff the warships into the Yellow River, what would that mean...

Well, it’s better if the system doesn’t give this reward, so Lin Tian won’t think about it anymore.

There were two ships at once. Lin Tian was anxious at the moment, regretting that he did not cross to the coastal area.

It's like two of Tokyo's hottest female teachers are saying they want to have some big brawls with everyone here.

Although all the handsome guys are anxious and want to take the Dongfeng plane to get there, when you arrive at the airport, people will tell you that they do not fly to the island country.

This feeling of discomfort is really uncomfortable!

Lin Tian secretly made up his mind to open up the passage from Jin Province to the coast as soon as possible and recover part of the sea territory.

But this is far from enough. In this era, it is not enough to have strong ships and powerful guns. They must also be equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower and air force.

Otherwise, no matter how big or powerful a warship is, it will just be a sitting duck for the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

It looks like these two Iowa-class battleships will have to be sealed for a while, and there's nowhere to put them.

Lin Tian even wanted to dismantle the naval guns and anti-aircraft guns on it. The heavy ones were difficult to carry, so he hid them in Laowang Mountain and used them as defensive firepower. The light ones were easy to transfer, so he pulled them onto trucks and used them as mobile firepower.

If we say that putting land artillery on board ships is all sadness and helplessness.

Then bringing naval guns ashore would be truly insane.

As we all know, all anti-material weapons are very effective in countering infantry.

Think about it, the nine 9mm caliber Justice guns on Iowa can even flatten a small hill with one shot. If they start to attack the infantry, even if they miss the target, the shock wave can kill the Japanese within a radius of hundreds of meters.

But Lin Tian still gave up this plan, one reason being that his current firepower was sufficient.

Another thing is that this naval gun is easy to dismantle, but it will be difficult to install it in the future.

If such a good battleship is dismantled into pieces, wouldn't that be a waste of money?

After putting down the Iowa-class battleship, Lin Tian continued to look at other weapons and equipment.

After experiencing the huge shock of the Iowa-class battleship just now, Lin Tian’s surprise at the Tiger tank and M2A1 105mm howitzer behind him was obviously reduced.

He had thought about the Tiger tank before. After annihilating the Japanese tank regiment in Rongcheng, the system might reward him with this thing.

But Lin Tian still clicked on the weapon details and checked them out.

[The Tiger tank is a heavy tank equipped by the German army during World War II. It is 8.45 meters long, 3 meters high, weighs 54 tons, and has a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour.

Armor thickness: 150 mm on the sides, top and bottom, 1300 mm in the danger zone, and 1500 mm in equivalent armor.

武器系统，1门88毫米56倍口径KwK 36型线膛坦克炮，1挺7.92毫米MG-34同轴机枪，车体安装1挺MG-34机枪，还有1挺机枪可外架在炮塔上防空。

载弹量：88毫米炮弹92发，7.92毫米子弹4500-4800发。】

Lin Tian remembered very clearly that this thing was a monster on the Soviet-German battlefield at that time.

There was once a battle where one Tiger tank fought against 1 Soviet T-50 tanks.

This Tiger tank alone destroyed 22 T-34 tanks, and the others all fled. It itself was hit 56 times, but its armor remained strong.

What’s even more funny is that when the U.S. Army’s Sherman tanks encountered Tiger tanks, they didn’t dare to fight at all and could only call for heavy firepower and air support.

Tiger tank versus Sherman tank is like Lu Bu beating up Fan Xiaoqin...

However, the Sherman tank, which was beaten into a grandson, unexpectedly found the feeling of the King Tiger tank when it fought against the Japanese's Tiny Tanks in the Pacific battlefield.

It's like Fan Xiaoqin stepping on an ant...

In this comparison, the Tiger tank versus the Japanese tank is like Lu Bu stepping on an ant...

You don't even need to fire the cannon, just rush up and ram it, like a cat catching a mouse, and have some fun with it.

Moreover, the Japanese's pitiful anti-tank means were no match for the Tiger tank.

They could only sigh in despair and listen to the reports that "the enemy armor was not penetrated".

This is like a little Japanese soldier who has not yet fully grown up, trying to attack an elephant, but he has no place to start...

As for the M2A1 105mm howitzer, Lin Tian found that the firepower of the rocket launcher was stronger than this thing.

But this artillery is still quite powerful. It was one of the standard howitzers of the US military during World War II. It is known as a veteran who has fought all over the world, and everyone who has used it says it is good.

The firing rate is 2-4 rounds per minute, the maximum range is meters, and the total weight is 2030 kg.

Lin Tian can keep some of these artillery pieces and then send some to the headquarters.

Lin Tian no longer lacks artillery fire; his rocket launchers are enough.
