The main sources of fire support are self-propelled artillery and self-propelled rocket launchers.

We already have the Type 85 self-propelled rocket launcher, so there is no need to purchase more.

火炮的话,无论是54-1式122mm榴弹炮还是66式152毫米加榴炮都是牵引式火炮,并不适合跟随机械化兵团前进。

As for the PLZ-45 self-propelled artillery, it is too advanced and not suitable for large-scale equipment of independent regiments.

Moreover, there is no navigation system in the time and space of Bright Sword, so even the most advanced self-propelled artillery will have a significant reduction in accuracy.

So he doesn't need anything too advanced.

There is a self-propelled artillery in China that perfectly meets Li Jingrong's requirements.

That is the Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer.

The performance of this self-propelled artillery is still quite powerful.

The chassis uses a specially developed medium-sized general-purpose tracked chassis, which is used by many tanks and armored vehicles and is very mature.

The gun is also an improvement on the Type 66 152mm howitzer, and uses a semi-automatic loading mode.

When using base-bleed bombs and rocket-assisted bombs, the maximum range can reach 30 kilometers, which is enough to crush cannons of the same level in terms of range alone.

As for larger caliber artillery, they are also included in his future procurement plans.

Polar Bear has some very good large-caliber self-propelled artillery, and he plans to get some.

As for shooting accuracy, this Type 83 self-propelled artillery is no problem at all.

It is equipped with relatively advanced Zhou-type sights and gun position calibrators.

If combined with an unmanned artillery calibration aircraft and anti-artillery radar, this self-propelled artillery is enough to crush the Japanese artillery.

"Wan'er, in addition to the Type 83, I also want to purchase the larger-caliber 2S7 self-propelled howitzer. Can you help me get it?"

After hearing this, Wei Wan'er said confidently, "Of course there's no problem. However, we have the more advanced W90, which also has a caliber of 203mm and a range of up to 50 kilometers. Would you consider it?"

Li Jingrong smiled and said, "Precisely because it's too advanced, I won't consider it for now. I just want some old stuff."

Wei Wan'er nodded and said indifferently, "Well, although the 2S7 howitzer is a bit old, it is enough."

Of course it is enough. As one of the representatives of large-caliber howitzers with a caliber of 203 mm, its range can reach 47 kilometers when using rocket-assisted projectiles.

Although it is not as good as the later W90, it does better meet Li Jingrong's needs.

After all, polar bears knew everything about electronic technology in the 70s.

In addition to these weapons and equipment, Li Jingrong also purchased various equipment needed for some mechanized troops. It can be said that the complete set was equipped.

"Okay, we've finished procuring the equipment for the ground, now let's go for the equipment for the air."

After hearing this, Wei Wan'er's eyes immediately brightened up.

Compared to tanks and cannons, airplanes are the real high-profit products, with one airplane costing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Dear Mr. Li, let me recommend you an aircraft that is highly recommended by our Air Force."

"You must be familiar with our Xiaolong. What do you think?"

Li Jingrong rolled his eyes at him and said, "No, it's not important. Do you think I need such an advanced fighter?"

For the "Bright Sword" time and space, the required fighter planes do not need to be too advanced.

Of course, we will not continue to use propeller fighters with piston engines.

By the end of the war, the development of jet aircraft had entered the right track.

Therefore, the fighter jets that Li Jingrong purchased for the independent regiment were naturally jet fighters.

At present, what the independent regiment needs most is to gain air superiority.

Moreover, training pilots is also very difficult, and the scale does not need to be too large.

The best choice at the moment is the J-5 fighter jet.

It can be used as an air superiority fighter and also has certain ground support capabilities.

He also considered the J-6 fighter jet, but the J-6 is a supersonic fighter after all.

There is not a single pilot in the independent regiment now, so it is too difficult to directly take control of a supersonic fighter.

Therefore, the J-5 subsonic jet fighter is their best choice now.

Besides, the J-5 fighter jet was copied from the MiG, and after all, it is a jet model developed after the war.

There is no problem in crushing the Japanese Zero or the so-called Super Zero.

When faced with the epoch-making jet fighters, propeller fighters could only wait for death.

Of course, there are some cases where 27-propeller fighters shot down jet fighters, but they are ultimately only a minority.

In addition to the J-5 fighter jets, he also wants to purchase a whole series of trainer aircraft.

Without trainer aircraft, there is no way to train pilots.

The trainer aircraft is also very simple. The Rabbit Air Force already has a mature series of trainer aircraft, ranging from elementary to advanced.

For example, the CJ-6 piston trainer aircraft and the J- trainer aircraft. As for advanced trainer aircraft capable of supersonic flight, you can just choose the Mountain Eagle advanced trainer aircraft.

The main purpose of the CJ-6 is to allow pilots to get in touch with flying.

The purpose of the J-5 trainer is to enable pilots to understand the characteristics of jet aircraft and lay a solid foundation for flying real jet fighters.

After completing the training of the J-5 trainer, you can directly take control of the J-5 fighter jet.

If supersonic fighter jets are equipped in the future, training can be done directly with the Mountain Eagle trainer aircraft.

Li Jingrong purchased five of these trainer aircraft, which was more than enough for the independent regiment.

In addition to helping the independent regiment train pilots, these trainer aircraft may also become the starting point and cradle of Eighth Route Army pilots.

"I want to purchase J-14 fighter jets, to start with. They should be newer, but refurbished ones are also fine."

"There are also various maintenance tools, maintenance instructions, spare parts and engines, etc. Prepare a complete set for me."

Wei Wan'er nodded and said, "No problem, but we can actually send professional maintenance personnel to help them with the repairs."

Li Jingrong shook his head and said, "No need. They want to master the repair techniques themselves. All you need to do is provide a detailed instruction manual. It would be best if you could list all the symptoms and solutions."

"Okay, I'll pass on your idea. You have to believe in our business capabilities."

In less than an hour, the two sides reached a consensus on the price of the J-500 fighter jet, which only cost million RMB per aircraft.

Of course this does not include spare parts and the like.

If the cost is spread out evenly, the price of a J-700 fighter jet is around million.

If you add 10 trainer aircraft, the total cost is only about million yuan.

This arms purchase cost Li Jingrong about 20 billion yuan in total.

The main one is the SA-6 surface-to-air missile system.

Although this thing is outdated for this era, the price is not very cheap.

"Brother Jingrong, it's already dinner time. I know there's a really good hot pot restaurant nearby. Can I take you there? After dinner, we'll go straight to Building 207."

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Then I won't be polite."

After having a delicious meal, the two of them went straight to Institute 207.

He was still very much looking forward to the new King Tiger tank that he had requested to be designed.

Moreover, it is already the middle of the war, and the Third Reich's army is in urgent need of a powerful tank to deal with the T-34 tank sea in the north.

So he had to speed up, otherwise he would only be able to drink soup.

After all, it takes time to install and debug the production line and then put it into mass production.

I hope Institute 207 can be more helpful.

As soon as Li Jianshe saw Li Jingrong getting out of the car, he greeted him with a smile on his face and seemed very enthusiastic.

"Mr. Li, we've been waiting for you so anxiously. If you don't come soon, we'll have to start testing."

Li Jingrong held his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to wait for me. Take me to see it now."

Li Jianshe laughed and said, "We have to wait. If you are not satisfied with the prototype, our testing will be wasted."

"Let's go. The testing site is on the other side. I'll have the driver take you there."

In less than ten minutes, Li Jingrong saw the King Tiger tank he had been longing for.

In terms of appearance, this new King Tiger tank is very different from the original King Tiger tank.

First of all, the tank chassis was redesigned, considering that the main battlefield of the King Tiger tank was in the northern territory.

The weather there is unpredictable and the road traffic conditions are very bad.

Therefore, the tank tracks are designed to be wider so that they can pass through most muddy roads more easily.

The unusually complex staggered road wheels also disappeared, replaced by six pairs of road wheels.

The suspension adopts an independent beam torsion bar suspension system and a rocker-type hydraulic shock absorber.

There is one very big difference.

That is, riveting was eliminated and casting and welding were adopted instead.

Both the turret and the hull.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it significantly reduces the weight of the tank.

In addition, it has good sealing, high connection strength, low cost, and time saving.

The tank gun and various facilities inside the turret are highly restored.

Even the radio uses the technology of the King Tiger tank, as well as the optical aiming equipment.

The engine does not use domestic technology, because the engine technology of early Rabbits was imitated from the North.

So Rabbit just moved the original V-12-5 diesel engine up.

This diesel engine is the power unit of the T-10 heavy tank and has a power of 700 horsepower.

However, it can allow the new version of the Tiger King, which weighs 55 tons, to travel at a maximum speed of 42 kilometers per hour and a range of about 270 kilometers.

Compared with the original Tiger King, which weighs 70 tons but has only a 690-horsepower gasoline engine, it is much better.

In this way, with the grafting of various technologies, a new version of the King Tiger tank designed and manufactured by modern industrial design was born.

As for how powerful the combat capability of this new version of Tiger King can be in that time and space, Li Jingrong can only say that he will have to wait and see.
