Li Jingrong smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's a rocket booster. With conventional firing, its range is only about 30 kilometers."

"This extended-range ammunition is very technologically advanced, and I'm the only one who possesses this technology."

"I brought eight 8S2 self-propelled howitzers this time. How are they? Commander Li, are you satisfied?"

Li Jingrong pointed at a row of 2S7 heavy artillery and asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Satisfied! Why wouldn't I be satisfied? I'm very satisfied."

"Brother, you brought too much stuff this time. It's not easy for our independent regiment to digest it all."

Kong Jie immediately said, "Old Li, if you can't digest it, given our relationship, I, as your brother, will help you share the burden."

"We, the New Second Regiment, will have no problem helping you digest some of it."

Ding Wei also joined in the fun and said, "We in the new group don't have any problems either. We can help you share some of the burden."

Li Yunlong immediately glared at them and said, "Get lost! These are all my things. Take yours away later. Don't try to take my things, or I'll be done with this brotherhood."

If anyone really dares to steal Li Yunlong's things, this donkey-like person will really get angry.

Apart from the brigade commander, few people can control his temper.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie felt bored upon seeing this and began to count their weapons and equipment.

This time, Li Jingrong brought a lot of weapons and equipment.

Since the independent regiment is going to change its equipment next, they will be given a lot of things.

Without going into details, let’s just talk about heavy artillery.

All the Type 54-1 122mm heavy artillery equipped by the independent regiment will be donated to them.

There are quite a few heavy artillery pieces, more than ten in total, and each of their two regiments can be allocated nearly ten pieces.

In addition, the Type 66 152mm heavy artillery will also be replaced by the Type 83 152mm self-propelled artillery.

These heavy artillery were also divided among their two regiments.

Of course not now, we need to wait until the clothes are changed.

But for Ding Wei and Kong Jie, this was already a huge surprise.

Although they envied the independent regiment for being equipped with more advanced self-propelled artillery.

But they were satisfied with being able to equip so many heavy artillery.

It can be said that their two groups have never been so wealthy.

Before, we never dared to hope to be equipped with so many heavy artillery.

Li Yunlong stayed here for more than two hours before leaving...

For him, these two hours were undoubtedly the happiest moments.

Thousands of tons of weapons and equipment were placed in front of him, almost making his eyes dizzy.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, he directly summoned Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and others.

When Li Yunlong put the weapons list in front of them, they were naturally shocked.

"These equipments are more than enough to replace the entire independent regiment. Isn't it a bit too much?"

"And it's not easy for these guys to drive it."

"Although the tank battalion has trained some tank crew members, it lacks the manpower to fully utilize all of this equipment."

"Another very important point is that this type of mechanized force consumes a huge amount of fuel."

"There must be a stable and sufficient fuel supply channel, otherwise these are just some iron bumps."

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Don't worry about the fuel issue. I will take care of that problem next."

"As for the manpower issue, I think we can increase the intensity of the training, and I will provide you with another team of instructors, about 200 people."

"With them, I believe the independent regiment will be able to fully absorb this batch of equipment within a few months."

When Li Yunlong heard that Li Jingrong would provide another group of military instructors, he immediately smiled.

"That's great! If it weren't for you, even if we turned the entire Eighth Route Army upside down, we wouldn't be able to find so many people on May 5.8th."

Although the Eighth Route Army's equipment is much better than before.

However, there is still a severe shortage of talent.

Especially now that the polar bears are mired in the quagmire of war, there are even fewer sources of talent.

"Since we are going to equip these armored vehicles, does that mean our current organization is no longer suitable for mechanized warfare?"

At this time, Xing Zhiguo raised a new question.

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed not applicable, but I have solved the problem."

"This is a new organizational reform of the independent regiment, which can well adapt to mechanized warfare."

"Of course, Zhao Zhengwei also needs to do a good job of ideological work so that the soldiers can adapt to this change."

"After all, even the best equipment still needs to be operated by people."

For the current independent regiment, it is too difficult to form a fully mechanized force.

But there will be no problem if we form a semi-mechanized force.

If it is to be fully mechanized, there will definitely be no problem with equipment, ammunition and fuel.

However, the two most important things, crew members and logistics maintenance personnel, are extremely scarce.

This is the main reason why it can only be semi-mechanized.

As for the compilation, Li Jingrong also asked military professionals to write it based on actual conditions.

In his opinion, this system can be used directly after at least a slight modification.

For an independent regiment, this organization does not look like a regimental-level organization at all.

But it is a division-level organization.

Because the current strength of the independent regiment is already that of a division, and Li Yunlong is planning to continue expanding the strength.

After all, he is now the commander of the military sub-district, so what if he has more troops?

First of all, for this semi-mechanized force, the most core thing is the tank.

Li Jingrong brought 50 Type 59 main battle tanks this time, in addition to the previous 20.

There are a total of 7270 main battle tanks.

In terms of the number of tanks, it is only the size of two tank battalions.

Therefore, these 70 main battle tanks were divided into two, forming the st Tank Battalion and the nd Tank Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

70 Type 59 main battle tanks are completely sufficient for the current independent regiment.

After all, the terrain in northwest Shanxi is not suitable for the deployment of large numbers of armored vehicles.

The number of 70 vehicles is just right.

Anyway, the Japanese don’t have any tanks or anti-tank weapons that can threaten the Type 59 main battle tank.

Throughout World War II, the most powerful tank of the Japanese was the Type 3 medium tank.

This tank was modified based on the Type 97 medium tank.

Its total combat weight is only a little over 18 tons, and its maximum speed is 38 kilometers per hour.

Equipped with a 38-caliber 75mm tank gun.

In terms of protection, the thickest part of the front armor is only 50 mm.

The most important thing is that this tank was not released until 44, and the total production volume is only 140 units.

It can be said that the entire Japanese army does not have a single tank that can fight.

As for the Type 59 main battle tank, it is one of the top tanks even on the Western battlefield.

If it encounters a King Tiger tank, it can still fight with its 100mm caliber rifled tank gun and will not be at a disadvantage.

Although it is not as heavy as the King Tiger, its protective capabilities are not weak.

The maneuverability is much higher.

If we look at the entire western Shanxi Province, the 70 Type 59 main battle tanks can already move sideways.

Even if the enemy troops were at the gates of Taiyuan, the old Japanese soldier Yoshio Shinozuka would be helpless against the two tank battalions.

There is also the organization of mechanized infantry battalions.

Infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers are the key to enabling coordinated infantry and tank operations.

The entire independent regiment can only muster the strength of two mechanized infantry battalions.

But it's enough for now.

After all, this mechanized infantry battalion is an enhanced version of the mechanized infantry battalion in terms of organization.

Each mechanized infantry battalion consists of five mechanized infantry companies and one fire support company.

Each company is equipped with 21 Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles and Type 63 armored personnel carriers.

The entire battalion has a total of 105 vehicles.

The firepower reinforcement company was added by Li Jingrong himself.

In his opinion, even equipped with these advanced infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, the firepower is still insufficient.

So it must be strengthened.

This fire support company is composed of a mortar company, an anti-tank company, a heavy machine gun company, and a rocket launcher company.

The main means of transportation for the fire support company is the open-top armored transport vehicle.

The mortars mainly used were 120mm caliber mortars, while the anti-tank company used 82mm recoilless guns.

The heavy machine gun company uses vehicle-mounted 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns.

As for the rocket launcher, it is naturally a towed 107mm light rocket launcher.

This firepower enhancement is still very meaningful for mechanized infantry battalions.

It covers long, medium and short range firepower, and can provide long-range support, anti-tank and anti-fortification operations, as well as air defense operations. It is quite comprehensive.

Apart from these two mechanized infantry battalions, the rest are motorized infantry battalions.

Each motorized infantry battalion is composed of three motorized infantry companies and a firepower reinforcement company.

The main means of transportation are cars and trucks.

The cars and trucks that Li Jingrong purchased from modern time and space are not only used to transport supplies.

The independent regiment has a total of four motorized infantry battalions, each with nearly a thousand people.

Compared with the original 8 infantry battalions.

The current independent regiment has been reduced to a structure of 6 infantry battalions.

However, its combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.

Next is the most important artillery organization.

独立团目前已经淘汰了54-1式122mm榴弹炮、66式152mm加榴炮。

These towed artillery pieces have high-horsepower towing vehicles.

However, it cannot compare with self-propelled artillery in terms of convenience and mobility.

取而代之的自然是83式152mm自行加榴炮、2633S7203mm自行加榴炮以及85式130毫米自行火箭炮了。

The organization still adopts the artillery battalion and rocket artillery battalion.

The artillery battalion is composed of four Type 4 83mm self-propelled artillery companies and two 152mm self-propelled artillery companies.

一共装备24辆83式152毫米自行火炮以及12辆203mm自行火炮。

Of course, the current independent regiment cannot find so many soldiers who can operate these 36 self-propelled artillery pieces.

But within a few months, once qualified artillery crew members are trained, there will be no problem.

Perhaps these are just new recruits who have just been trained, but they are enough to fight the Japanese.

In addition to these six artillery companies, the entire self-propelled artillery battalion also has a command company.

This company is equipped with real high-tech equipment.

For example, anti-artillery radars and calibration drones are mainly used for reconnaissance, guidance, and calibration.

It is the eyes and command center of the entire artillery unit.

The rocket artillery battalion is still organized according to the previous structure, equipped with a total of 30 Type 85 self-propelled rocket launchers, with each company equipped with exactly ten.

Apart from the equipment, there are not many changes in the organization of the artillery unit.

The biggest change is in the air defense force.
