Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were shocked when they heard this.

In the past, a few tanks would have been enough to crush their entire regiment so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.

In the absence of anti-tank weapons, they could only use their flesh and blood to blow up tanks.

A few tanks are so difficult to deal with.

This division was equipped with more than 100 tanks and more than armored vehicles.

Even if this unit were placed on the European battlefield, it would be a qualified mechanized unit.

Not to mention on the Chinese battlefield.

If it were other army units, the independent regiment's firepower would be enough to hold off enemies that are several times larger than its own.

After all, Li Yunlong did not choose the Wild Wolf Valley as the battlefield randomly, because the terrain here is not conducive to the deployment of large-scale Japanese troops.

But their firepower can be brought into play here.

But Li Yunlong really had no experience facing this kind of mechanized troops.

So when I heard Li Jingrong's introduction, my first reaction was shock.

After all, they rarely see tanks in normal times, and now the Japanese army has sent hundreds of tanks to attack them.

"What? Are you scared?"

Looking at Li Yunlong's expression, Li Jingrong chuckled and continued, "I have to say, choosing Wild Wolf Valley as the battlefield was a wise choice."

"The terrain here is narrow, and even if the Japanese army sends more tanks, they can't deploy them on a large scale."

"And the 82mm recoilless rifles, RPG7 rocket launchers and 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns we are equipped with are not vegetarians."

"In terms of anti-tank capabilities, we are no worse than European armies. We just lack anti-tank experience."

"So you don't have to worry about the 3rd Tank Division at all."

"I think Shinozuka Yoshio is crazy. He actually wants to use mechanized troops in this place in Jinxi. I don't know if this is ignorance or self-confidence."

Li Yunlong is not a timid person either.

After hearing Li Jingrong's guidance, a smile appeared on his face again.

"That's right. The Japanese have tanks, and we also have anti-tank weapons. We are not afraid of them at all."

"This time we need to make a bigger noise and attract as many Japanese troops as possible."

"This way, the headquarters and main force can more smoothly escape the Japanese encirclement."

"By the time the headquarters and main force break out to safety, we'll be able to break out as well."

It is the duty of the independent regiment to cover the safe retreat of the headquarters.

This time, we have nothing to fear even if the independent regiment is wiped out.

"By the way, brother, do you think we will be able to equip tanks in the future?"

Li Jingrong glanced at him and said, "If I give you a tank, can you drive it? Of course there are, but the prerequisite is that there must be someone who can drive it."

"Let's finish this battle first. Maybe I can help you solve these problems."

After hearing what Li Jingrong said, Li Yunlong couldn't help but look forward to it.

Ever since Zhang Dabiao and his men beat up the 115th Division, they have been very well behaved these past two days.

Apart from sending a small force for reconnaissance, they did not take any other action and just guarded Yangquan honestly.

In addition, Japanese reconnaissance planes often flew overhead.

After shooting down two planes with the Feidun-6 anti-aircraft missiles at the beginning, the Japanese planes became more obedient and no longer dared to conduct close reconnaissance.

Li Yunlong understood that this was just the calm before the storm.

Once the Japanese Army's 3rd Tank Division arrives, the war will begin.

So the whole regiment has been engaged in digging fortifications in the past two days.

The entire Wild Wolf Valley was turned into a battlefield, with positions connected to each other.

A large number of troops were deployed on multiple high grounds, bringing the entire Wild Wolf Valley under fire control.

While the situation on the independent regiment's side was calm, the fighting outside was raging.

The 129th Division did not wait patiently for the Japanese army to arrive.

Instead, they chose to jump out and take the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

The 129th Division, equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese.

This raid was not as smooth as Yoshio Shinozuka had imagined.

On the third day, a telegram came from Yangquan.

A large number of Japanese tanks were discovered.

At this moment everyone understood that the war was about to begin.

Li Jingrong returned to modern times yesterday. He had to prepare some things to increase his chances of winning.

For the current independent regiment, the biggest problems it faces are anti-tank and air defense.

火炮方面有着6门66式加榴炮、2门541式榴弹炮,12门107mm火箭炮,还有他这边的两辆130mm轮式火箭炮。

There are also a large number of mortars.

If combined with anti-artillery radar, there is no shortage of heavy firepower.

However, in order to prevent the long-range cannons of the little devils, he felt it was necessary to purchase some countermeasures.

In terms of air defense, he decided to increase the number of flying crossbows again, directly increasing it to 6.

The Deep Blue Guard Brigade will set up a special air defense team with only 30 people.

As for carrying ammunition, the soldiers of the independent regiment can help.

The reason for purchasing so many is that the Japanese air force in the northern region is stronger than before.

Taking advantage of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Kwantung Army mobilized a large number of fighter planes into Shanxi.

At the request of the Northern Expeditionary Force Headquarters, these Kwantung Army aircraft have not yet returned.

It is estimated that the number of Japanese fighter planes in western Shanxi Province now is no less than 300.

Given Yoshio Shinozuka's personality, with so many fighter jets, he would not be afraid of those mysterious air defense weapons.

For him, as long as he can achieve victory, some sacrifice is inevitable.

30 Feinu 6 individual air defense missiles plus an air defense battalion can basically guarantee the air defense needs at medium and low altitudes.

As for high-altitude bombers, there is currently no good solution.

However, at this altitude, the accuracy was very impressive for the bombers of the time.

Generally speaking, high-altitude bombers are only suitable for carpet bombing, and whether they can hit the target depends entirely on luck.

Places like cities are the targets of carpet bombers.

Moreover, the Japanese would probably find it difficult to afford such an extreme waste of resources, so there is no need to worry too much.

But he still decided to purchase another batch of air defense missiles for the independent regiment to use.

There is no need to purchase advanced stuff like the Feinu 6, as long as it can be used.

Then, confidentiality personnel can be deployed to closely monitor missile movements to prevent technology leaks.

After all, the difficulty of keeping secrets on a small scale and a large scale is very different.

The last question is tanks.

Although he said it lightly, hundreds of tanks were still a problem that needed to be faced.

Therefore, anti-tank missiles also need to be arranged. The number does not need to be too many, ten or eight will be enough.

The maximum range of the recoilless rifle is only over 1 kilometer.

The range of anti-tank missiles can reach two or three kilometers.

As long as you dig a hidden fortification, you can stay inside and snipe with peace of mind.

It's a bit of a waste to use tanks to fight the Japanese. They are completely unsuitable for missiles with such powerful power.

But now it’s no longer a question of whether it’s wasteful or not.

From this we can see Li Jingrong's fear of insufficient firepower.

With the current firepower of the independent regiment, it can fully cope with the current situation, but he always feels that it is still not enough.

The battle situation there was urgent and he had to rush back by tomorrow at the latest, so he went straight to find the 'weapons expert' Wei Wan'er and explained his needs to her.

"Is it so urgent this time?"

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "It's urgent!"

"You need long-range suppressive firepower with high mobility, and with such a small number, the requirement for accuracy is very high."

"I've come up with a plan for you. What do you think?"

Li Jingrong took the tablet and started looking at it.

【两门PLZ45自行加榴炮+7041火炮定位与射击修正雷达+702D气象雷达+两辆PCZ45弹药支援车+W6531抢修车。】

“How many people are needed to operate these things?”

Wei Wan'er answered without hesitation, "Originally, the PLZ45 artillery system was deployed in battalion units, but with this number, we'd need at least 40 people."

Li Jingrong frowned slightly. The demand for artillery crew members was a bit too much. It seemed that he could only squeeze in here and there.

With the PLZ45 self-propelled howitzer's maximum range of 50 kilometers, the entire Yangquan is within its coverage range.

Although the accuracy will be much worse without GPS, it will not be much lower when operated manually in conjunction with artillery radar.

When Wei Wan'er saw that he agreed, she immediately began to introduce the next one.

"Our army's early air defense missiles, the Hongying 5, were copied from the Soviet SA7. Although the sensitivity of its infrared seeker was relatively low, it was easy to intercept propeller aircraft."

"We can't guarantee a 100% hit rate within range, but we can still guarantee a hit rate of over 80%."

"But is there any country that still uses propeller fighters in large numbers?"

In his impression, although Uncle Hei was a bit poor, he would not use propeller fighter jets before the middle of the last century.

Li Jingrong said perfunctorily, "The tribe over there is very poor, but they are still equipped with some of these fighters. The Feinu 6 is still too advanced for them to operate."

After hearing his explanation, Wei Wan'er chose to believe it unconditionally.

"5 Hongying 30 air defense missile launchers, 2000 air defense missiles. That's all for now. What about the anti-tank missiles?"

Wei Wan'er pulled out a picture and said, "If you want a cost-effective anti-tank missile, then the Red Arrow 8 is the best."

"This is also our army's second-generation anti-tank missile. It may have some difficulty dealing with current main battle tanks of various countries, but it can easily defeat tanks produced before 2000."

"Its total weight is only 11.2 kilograms, its range can reach up to three kilometers, and its net armor penetration depth can reach more than 800 mm."

"Each gun can be easily operated by two people, a gunner and an ammunition handler..."

Li Jingrong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it. Give me 10 of them and 1000 missiles."

"Now let's talk about the second business."

"I still need about 300 million RMB worth of weapons and equipment, still the same old stuff."

“56式自动步枪、54式轻机枪、80式通用机枪、54式重机枪、69式火箭筒、69式手榴弹。”

"60mm, 82mm, 120mm mortars, Type 541 howitzers, etc."

"As for ammunition, you can have as much as you can. Don't worry about it. You can just take it away next time you come."

"Is it okay for me to take these weapons tomorrow?"

Wei Wan'er nodded and said, "No problem. Mr. Li, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together? You still owe me a good meal."
