Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

These weapons are all light weapons and do not have a particularly big impact on the overall battle situation.

In the coming period, the Northern Army will have to adopt a defensive strategy in the face of the fierce offensive of the Allied forces.

Therefore, heavy weapons are the key to determining this defensive operation.

The anti-tank aspect has been strengthened, so the heavy weapons must also be strengthened.

The first is the issue of prevention and control.

Now Li Jingrong has no way to support the Northern Army's fighter jets.

Although the fighter jet he asked Chuan Fei to design and manufacture is very powerful, it will take at least several months.

The Northern Army simply couldn't wait that long.

Therefore, the only way is to strengthen the air defense force and use anti-aircraft artillery to counter the Allied air advantage.

Although Xiao Dezi's 88 guns were pretty good, there were not many of them, and they were completely useless against the Allied air superiority.

So Li Jingrong decided to directly purchase the anti-aircraft artillery series from the Flower Growers.

Small and medium caliber anti-aircraft artillery is mainly composed of twin and quadruple 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

As for medium-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, the natural choice is the Type 59 57mm anti-aircraft gun with outstanding air defense capabilities.

This anti-aircraft gun will become the main air defense force of the Northern Army in the future.

This 57mm anti-aircraft gun has a combat weight of 4.5 tons, a maximum range of 12 kilometers, and a maximum firing altitude of 8800 meters.

The most important thing is that this anti-aircraft artillery can be used in conjunction with a gun-aiming radar.

Although the gun-aiming radar used is a customized original version, it can still improve the hit rate to a certain extent.

When Li Jingrong was considering exporting large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery to Xiao Dezi, he improved the Type 59 100mm anti-aircraft gun.

Not only was a shell equipped with a radio proximity fuze specially customized for the gun, but the old Type 9 radar was also brought out and after weakening some of its functions, it was more suitable for use on Xiao Dezi.

But Xiao Dezi didn't know the value of it. They already had 88mm anti-aircraft guns, which were very useful.

There was no interest in heavy anti-aircraft guns weighing up to 10 tons.

The main reason was that the air force at that time was extremely strong and there was not much demand for ground-based air defense operations.

So this plan was shelved.

And now all the things prepared before can come in handy.

37mm multi-barrel anti-aircraft guns, 57mm medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns, plus Type 59 100mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

These three types of anti-aircraft guns are enough to build a tight air defense network over Oman.

Besides, although Xiao Dezi’s air force is at a disadvantage.

But if combined with ground anti-aircraft firepower, it would be no problem to stop the Allied air offensive.

After the anti-tank and air defense problems are solved, two more problems need to be solved.

That is the Allied forces' advantage in manpower and artillery.

Both of these Allied advantages could be addressed by strengthening the artillery strength of the Northern Front.

The Eighth Route Army lacked various talents, so the number of artillery pieces it was equipped with was always small.

But as an industrial power, Germany does not lack talents in this area.

Besides, although the Noodle Army is very bad, there will be no problem if they are just allowed to stay in the rear and fire artillery.

So Li Jingrong decided to purchase a large number of heavy artillery and rocket launchers.

As long as the Allies did not have air superiority, they would have no chance of breaking through the defense line built by the Northern Army.

In terms of light weapons, Li Jingrong only purchased equipment for about 30,000 people, and the ammunition was directly ten base units, which was enough to support several large-scale battles.

As for the three calibers of anti-aircraft artillery, Li Jingrong directly purchased 300 pieces.

Among them, 37mm double-barreled or quad-barreled rifles are the most numerous, accounting for about half.

He also directly purchased 59 Type 100 50mm anti-aircraft guns with the largest caliber.

These three hundred anti-aircraft guns were enough to create an insurmountable obstacle for the Allied air forces.

As for large-caliber heavy artillery, the main purchases are from the inventory of the flower-growing families.

For example, the Type 54 122mm/152mm howitzers.

There is also the Type 60 122mm cannon responsible for long-range fire suppression.

These three types of artillery have long been retired by the Flower Planting Company. The number in stock is not large, but it is not small either.

Li Jingrong simply waved his hand and purchased a total of 200 guns.

Together with the artillery of Xiao Dezi and Xiao Yizi, the number has exceeded 500, of course, this includes light artillery such as infantry guns.

This number of artillery pieces is more than enough for the Northern Army.

In addition to heavy artillery, there is another highlight - rocket launcher.

This time, Li Jingrong only purchased two types of rocket launchers, with a total of about 200 pieces.

The first one is a 107mm light rocket launcher that can be pulled around by a barrel truck. It is definitely a powerful weapon for mobile artillery.

The second one is naturally the Type 63 self-propelled rocket launcher.

These two types of rocket launchers have become the main artillery of the Germans on the Eastern Front.

The above equipment is all that Li Jingrong purchased this time.

These weapons and equipment are even enough to restore the Northern Army's offensive capability.

And these junk only cost Li Jingrong a few small goals.

After all, they were all old stocks piled up in the warehouse, and as an old customer, he directly calculated the increase by tons.

The biggest expense is not the weapons themselves, but the ammunition.

After all, these equipments are big consumers.

Although the price of ammunition is cheap, the quantity cannot be met.

However, if it only costs a few hundred million to change the current situation of the Northern Army, it is totally worth it.

Besides, after I bring these weapons and equipment over there.

It was also agreed that Rommel would give him part of their spoils.

Xiao Dezi looted quite a lot of things in Beipi.

Not only is it enough to make up for all the expenses, but I can also make a lot of money.

It is very comfortable to be able to make money and complete your strategic plan.

In addition to these weapons and equipment, Li Jingrong also purchased various supplies that the Northern Army urgently needs.

In order to transport this batch of things, Li Jingrong made three trips, which shows how many of these things there were.

After obtaining weapons, equipment and supplies, Li Jingrong did not go to the north immediately.

Instead, he came to Fangchenggang in western Guangxi Province.

He came here this time naturally for something important to do.

And this matter concerns the mercenary group.

Since we have chosen to establish a mercenary group, it will serve as the armed force of Umbrella Corporation in the future.

Then recruiting soldiers from the country is naturally the best option.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build a military station in the country for the initial training of new recruits.

Recruit training is a very good screening process to eliminate unqualified soldiers.

As long as you pass the recruit training, you can be sent directly to the training base in Beipi for the second phase of training.

After completing the second stage of training, he can officially establish his own mercenary group.

Since time is very tight, Li Jingrong chose to recruit those who are physically strong and preferably have certain combat experience.

There is no shortage of soldiers who have fought in the battlefield in the war-torn country.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can shorten the training time.

Dongcheng, Fangcheng County, Umbrella Corporation Southwest Branch recruitment station.

This time, Umbrella Corporation did it under the guise of recruiting overseas guard members.

Moreover, publicity work was carried out through various channels a week in advance.

Although information was relatively closed in this era, the speed of information circulation was also relatively slow.

But as long as you are willing to spend money, the speed of information transmission is not slow.

In this week alone, Li Jingrong spent a full one million US dollars on publicity.

The results of the publicity work are also very gratifying.

Three days before the recruitment station announced the recruitment, many people came from inside and outside the small city of Fangchenggang, totaling more than 30,000 people.

And the number is still increasing.

The branch office did not expect so many people to come, and the preparations were not sufficient.

Therefore, a large number of tents, food, medical supplies, daily necessities, etc. were urgently mobilized.

With the assistance of local county officials, these people were finally settled.

After all, these people came here for Umbrella Corporation's recruitment.

No matter what, we still have to be responsible for their basic living during this period.

Because since they have chosen to come here, they are people who can no longer survive or are about to fail.

Otherwise, who would be willing to travel overseas and risk their life in a foreign land where they are unfamiliar with the place?

Of course, there are also many people who come here for the high salaries offered by Umbrella Corporation.

In this war-torn era, it is not easy to find a job.

After working so hard every month, you only get some worthless fiat currency that is constantly depreciating rapidly.

However, Umbrella Corporation pays salaries in US dollars.

Throughout World War II, only the United States' economy was not affected, and its currency has become very stable.

What the hell is the current legal currency? Ordinary people don’t recognize it at all.

Outside the city, there is a large tent area where as many as 20,000 to 30,000 people are temporarily living.

Fortunately, Umbrella Corporation and local police patrolled frequently, so no trouble occurred.

After all, everyone is here for recruitment.

In a large tent that accommodates four people, three men of varying weights were sitting on the ground playing cards.

At this moment, the tent suddenly fell into darkness, and a young man dressed in clean Zhongshan clothes walked in with a washbasin and a sheet on his back.

The expression on his face seemed very cold, and deep in his eyes there was an unconcealable sadness.

The three big men looked up, and one of the burly men seemed very surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Xiaoxuan? Why are you here? This is a recruitment area. Shouldn't you be returning to the army? And your mother was just buried. Don't you need to take care of your brothers and sisters?"

The cold young man glanced at him, put the basin on the ground, and said as he started to clean up: "My mother has been buried, and my uncle is helping to take care of the family. I have left all my savings to him."

"As for the troops... haha!"

"Our plane has run out of fuel and spare parts and can no longer fly."

"Besides, I am the only one who can take care of my family now. I need money."

When the other two heard this, they were shocked.

"Wow, the little kid can actually fly a plane? That's incredible."

"Yeah, I heard that Umbrella is recruiting pilots, and the monthly salary is no less than 50 US dollars."
