Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Chapter 247: Founder of Military Logistics?

"General Lao, look, this thing is called a 107mm rocket launcher. It is a light towed multiple rocket launcher, especially suitable for mountainous areas, jungles, deserts, and river-dense areas. For the current Eighth Route Army, this is a very useful rocket launcher!"

"This gun has a marching weight of 385 kg and a combat weight of 613 kg. It is easy to disassemble and transport. Just think about it, a squad of soldiers can disassemble it and carry it on their backs. It can be fired with or without a bracket. It can fire multiple shots or a single shot. If all else fails, it can be fired by lighting a fire. For us, it is truly a guerrilla weapon!"

"Look, it consists of three rows of twelve tubes, firing 107mm rockets with a maximum range of 8500 meters. Compared to the Japanese artillery, it has a longer range and more powerful firepower!"

"I only brought 100 rockets to the headquarters this time. Although the number is not large, I have enough rockets. General Lao, please let the troops fight freely. Don't worry about wasting ammunition. I will send more to you after the fighting is over!"

Lin Tian stretched out his fingers and tapped the barrel of the 107mm rocket launcher, explaining passionately.

There is not much in North China except for mountains, especially Shanxi Province, which is known as the land of mountains and rivers. There are many mountains and valleys in the province, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In ancient China, whoever could control Shanxi Province could spy on Guanzhong and Hebei and be qualified to compete for the Central Plains and unify the world.

"It's amazing! It can fire 12 rockets at a time, and the range is quite long. I didn't expect it to be able to fire 8500 meters!"

"That's right! The general Japanese artillery is equipped with Type 94 mountain guns and Type 92 infantry guns, and their range is not comparable at all!"

"Hahaha, from now on, when we spot the Japs from a distance, we can just shoot them with a volley of bullets and send them all back to Japan to meet the Heavenly Locusts!"

When the comrades around heard Lin Tian’s explanation, they all gave him a thumbs up. They didn’t expect that this cannon, which was not even as tall as a man’s waist, had such great power. They couldn’t help but want to find the Japanese to test it out!

"Guerrilla magic weapon... guerrilla magic weapon..." General Lao touched the barrel of the 107mm rocket launcher and muttered in a daze. "Our guerrillas lack guns and bullets, and they mostly fight the enemy with swords and spears. They only have a few homemade grenades, which are not even as good as those made in the border areas! We never thought that one day we would be able to use rocket launchers to fight guerrilla warfare! Thank you, Lin Tian! On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I thank you!!"

This iron-willed, tough man who had fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses now had red eyes. He held Lin Tian's hand tightly and choked with sobs.

General Lao's words made the originally excited crowd around him lower their heads. Yes... life in the army is too hard. How many comrades have sacrificed their lives because our weapons and equipment are inferior to others? Many people didn't even leave their names behind.

We were all born by our parents and were all given names, but why did we become nameless people on our tombstones? !

This is because the war is too brutal. Soldiers who have just entered the battlefield may be sacrificed in the next second. The comrades around them have become martyrs before they even have time to ask their names...

Lin Tian was also moved by everyone's emotions. Our ancestors fought the enemy in such a difficult environment. We tried every possible way, but we never thought of surrendering!

This is the belief and spirit of our ancestors!

"Comrades, this is the Katyusha multiple rocket launcher. You see, it is a vehicle-mounted rocket launcher that can carry 16 132mm rockets and has a range of 8500 meters."

"From the name, you can tell it was made in the Soviet Union. It's Katyusha."

"It's just... I only brought 10 of them this time. We don't have many of them in one division. But I also brought a lot of rockets. Feel free to use them. I'll send more when you're done!"

Lin Tian led everyone to 10 Katyusha rocket launchers that were based on trucks and equipped with 8 rail-mounted launchers, and gave everyone a detailed introduction.

Mr. Lao and others were also stunned when they heard this. They had naturally heard of this thing. This was Big Brother’s latest secret weapon and was regarded as a secret. They didn’t expect that Lin Tian could actually get it.

With these 10 Katyusha rocket launchers, when we launch large-scale battles in the future, we can fight the Japanese head-on, supplemented by guerrilla harassment tactics from behind. Although the Japanese artillery is powerful, it cannot withstand the dense and powerful firepower coverage of the rocket launchers, so fighting will be much more enjoyable in the future.

"Also, this is the M2A1 105mm howitzer, a genuine American weapon!"

"Maximum range meters, rate of fire 16 rounds per minute."

Lin Tian only gave a brief introduction. Because of this artillery piece, the Americans successively provided 476 guns to the Central Army through the Lend-Lease Act. Although the Eighth Route Army did not have it, they had seen it, and General Lao and his men knew it even better, so Lin Tian did not need to elaborate on the details.

"Yes, that's right. I've seen this cannon before in the Central Army. I was so greedy that I ran to the Central Army and asked them to support us with a few cannons so that we could fight against the Japanese together."

"But we were rejected outright. The man's eyes were full of contempt for our Eighth Route Army, as if to say that we, the local Eighth Route Army, were not worthy of using such good artillery."

"I was also confused at the time. I knew that people wouldn't give it to us."

"That commander is afraid that we will become bigger and stronger, so why would he support us with American artillery? We would be very lucky if he could send us a few Zhongzheng rifles."

"Well, what's the result? We now have a total of 100 105mm howitzers. Hahahaha, when we show them on the battlefield one day, that officer will curse and accuse their logistics department of colluding with the communists!"

General Lao looked at the 100 brand new M2A1 105mm howitzers in front of him and smiled from ear to ear.

Fortunately, the Central Army treated it as a treasure and didn't even bother to take a look at it. Only a few years later, the Eighth Route Army also had it, and not just one or two, but a full 100.

This is really a case of things changing over time. Don't look down on the poor Eighth Route Army.

"Hahahaha, hey, Mr. Lao is right. This old man will definitely be furious. It's just that they would never have thought that this was something we did ourselves!"

The division commander and the chief of staff laughed, they knew that commander's character too well.

"Commanders, I can guarantee that the American equipment in the Central Army will be ours sooner or later!"

"They don't get the title of transport captain for nothing!"

"Kaishen is the founder of military logistics. I think our team has already experienced this!"

"When the two sides were fighting each other before, the Central Army sent us a lot of weapons and equipment!"

When Lin Tian heard what General Lao said, he was immediately happy. He already had the title of transport team leader.

However, the founder of military logistics was created by netizens in later generations.

"Oh? The founder of military logistics?"

"Hahaha, you are such a mean guy!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lao and others could not help but laugh out loud, and the scene was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
