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

Once you have enough workers, you can start manufacturing guns, mortars and the like.

After chatting for a while, the three of them walked into the valley.

When they saw the big guys parked in the valley, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang almost stared with their eyes wide open.

"Is this...is this a tank?"

Li Yunlong was shocked when he saw the neatly arranged row of steel beasts in front of him.

He had seen quite a few tanks, but they were all small tanks of the Japanese.

Among them, the largest is the Type 97 medium tank, which weighs more than ten tons and is equipped with a 47mm tank gun.

Before, a Type 97 tank was enough to give their independent regiment a hard time.

Under the cover of Japanese infantry, destroying their tanks often required huge sacrifices.

The Japanese Type 97 tank looked like a dwarf in front of this tank.

Especially the long and thick cannon barrel of the tank in front of us brings an invisible deterrent to people.

The Japs' tanks were nothing.

Li Jingrong was very satisfied with the two's stunning performance.

"Yes, this is the tank I told you about. Its performance is beyond words. Even facing the Tiger tanks of the Third Reich, it is not inferior."

Li Jingrong is not bragging.

Although the Type 59 tank weighs less than 40 tons, it is much lighter than the 57-ton Tiger tank.

However, its performance in all aspects is not bad, and it is even far superior to the Tiger tank.

The most important performance for a tank is armor protection, mobility and power.

There is no need to say much about its power. The 100mm rifled tank gun is definitely larger than the 88mm tank gun.

The mobility is even more incomparable.

The maximum speed of the Type 59 main battle tank can reach 50 kilometers per hour.

The Tiger tank has a maximum speed of only 38 kilometers per hour.

The Tiger tank's mobility has always been criticized.

As for armor protection, compared with the Tiger tank, the Type 59 tank uses a fully cast semi-circular turret.

The front armor thickness of its turret is 220mm, the front armor thickness of the hull is 100mm, the side armor thickness is 80mm, and it has a 30-degree inclination angle.

The thickest front armor of the Tiger tank's gun shield is only 150 mm, the front of the hull is 102 mm, and the side of the hull is 82 mm.

Just from the comparison of data, it can be seen that the Type 59 tank is superior in all aspects.

After all, being able to serve in the flower-growing family for half a century does take some skill.

What's more, the technological span of these two tanks is as long as 20 years, so it is very normal that they are completely superior in performance.

"Tiger tank?"

Zhao Gang had some understanding of foreign wars.

Especially during the "tiger disaster" in the European war, the Allies were terrified at the mention of tigers.

It is known as one of the most powerful tanks in the world today and is also the masterpiece of the Third Reich.

Although he retained some doubts, when he saw the gun barrel, he felt that his doubts were wrong.

"Come, let me introduce this tank to you. It's your future main battle tank."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and followed.

Of course, they want to have a good understanding of the performance of this tank so that they can have a clear idea of it.

Li Jingrong patted its armor and said, "This is a Type 59 medium tank. It has a combat weight of 37 tons, 500 horses, and can run at 50 kilometers per hour. Compared to current tanks, it is not inferior in speed. It can travel nearly 500 kilometers on a tank of fuel."

"Let's take a look at this gun barrel. Brother Yunlong, what do you think its caliber is?"

Li Yunlong looked at it carefully and said, "I think it's at least 90mm in caliber."

Li Jingrong shook his head and said, "It's too small. This is a 100mm rifled tank gun with a firing rate of 7 rounds per minute."

"The armor-piercing rounds it fires can penetrate the armor of any tank in the world. Even a Tiger tank can't withstand a single shot from it."

"100mm!"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both upset after hearing this statement.

Although Zhao Gang didn't know much about tanks, he knew that the larger the caliber of a tank gun and the longer the barrel, the greater its power.

The gun barrel of the Tiger tank is only 88mm, but the tank in front of us is actually 100mm in caliber.

This is really a bit horrifying.

"Hahaha, great stuff, great stuff! With this tank, I can easily conquer Taiyuan."

If this type of tank is equipped on a large scale, there will be no problem in attacking Taiyuan.

Because the Japanese don’t have any decent anti-tank weapons now.

After experiencing the power of the Sherman tank in the Pacific battlefield, they began to develop anti-tank weapons.

"What kind of artillery is that over there?"

Just now, their attention was directly attracted by this row of 20 tanks, and they ignored the artillery on the side.

This artillery was a little different from the ones they had seen before. Its barrel was particularly long, even longer than that of a cannon.

There were a total of 12 guns placed together, with the long barrels pointing obliquely towards the sky.

Li Jingrong introduced: "This is not an ordinary artillery, but a 100mm caliber heavy anti-aircraft gun."

"With this, we no longer have to worry about Japanese air raids. It can shoot down all the Japanese planes."

"This is a plane I purchased specifically to fight the Japanese."

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, you have brought me so many surprises this time. Don't hide them all. Show them all."

Li Jingrong glanced at him and spread his hands, saying, "That's all. Everything else is the same as before. The weapons, equipment, and supplies I brought you this time are enough to arm 20,000 people."

"Twenty thousand people... My independent regiment doesn't need that many. We can give some to Ding Wei and Kong Jie."

Li Jingrong looked at him in surprise. This was not something the stingy Li Yunlong would say.

He thought this guy would hide all the extra weapons.

Not only him, but even Zhao Gang looked at him in surprise.

When Li Yunlong saw the expressions of these two people, he immediately became unhappy.

"What are you looking at? Even though I, Li Yunlong, am stingy, isn't it all for the development of the army?"

"Now I am the commander of the Datong Military Sub-district. I have more than just the Independent Regiment under my command. The New First and New Second Regiments are also under my command."

"And Ding Wei and Kong Jie have helped me many times before."

"Now that I, Old Li, am wealthy, I naturally cannot forget my brothers."

Li Jingrong gave a thumbs-up and said, "Yes, Commander Li, this is a bigger picture."

Indeed.

He was previously the commander of an independent regiment, and now he is the commander of the Datong Military Sub-district.

Although Ding Wei and Kong Jie are still the commanders of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments, he, as the commander, is probably unable to command these two regiments.

But in name, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were both his troops.

This independent regiment is like a biological son, and the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment are like nephews.

Isn't it normal to give some weapons and equipment to your nephew?

Allowing them to grow and develop will also help expand the territory of Datong Military Sub-district.

It would be best if the Datong Military Sub-district could live up to its name.

After several months of fighting, the independent regiment has still not recovered to its peak strength.

The current number has just exceeded 6000.

According to the organization of the independent regiment, it is definitely a reinforced regiment.

But how could Li Yunlong be satisfied?

"Not only do I need to recover, I also need to continue expanding the army."

After hearing his words, Zhao Gang asked in surprise: "Are you going to continue expanding the army?"

Li Yunlong said: "Of course, we have sufficient supplies and equipment now. Since there are no restrictions, why not expand the army?"

"This is the military expansion plan I asked Brother Li to draw up. Take a look."

After Zhao Gang received the military expansion plan, his eyes almost popped out.

He looked at Li Yunlong and Li Jingrong in disbelief.

"Is this still an independent regiment? It's already larger than a brigade."

"Will the superiors agree to this?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I asked the commander about this. He told me that I don't care how many soldiers you have, as long as you can beat the Japanese."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang could only nod silently.

Since his superiors had no problem, he, as the guilty party, naturally had no objection either.

However, it is not surprising that Zhao Gang had this reaction, but this military expansion plan was indeed a bit beyond the scope.

The first is the infantry battalion, which will maintain its previous size. Each battalion will be a reinforced battalion with a total of about 800 people.

And the independent regiment has 8 such infantry battalions.

The 233rd not only restored the th Battalion, which had lost its entire battalion while blocking the Japanese army, but also planned to establish the th and th Infantry Battalions.

The size of these eight infantry battalions alone reaches more than 8 people.

Then there is the firepower reinforcement battalion, which was also established on the basis of the heavy machine gun company.

Li Yunlong directly pulled out all the Type 85 heavy machine guns and Type 751 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

Together with 82mm mortars, 82mm recoilless rifles and 107mm rocket launchers, it formed a firepower reinforcement battalion.

这个火力加强营拥有着36挺高射重机枪，9门82mm迫击炮、6门107mm火箭炮和12门82mm无后坐力炮。

Since all the equipment was heavy, the battalion was also equipped with jeeps and trucks, which at least made it motorized.

As we all know, the imitation anti-aircraft machine gun is the nightmare of all infantrymen, and this big broom on the battlefield is something that everyone shudders at.

And the key is that if these heavy machine guns are installed on anti-aircraft mounts, they can also be used for low-altitude air defense missions.

The second one is naturally the anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

The reason why Li Jingrong decided to set up a firepower reinforcement battalion was because the anti-aircraft machine guns had been removed from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, so he came up with this idea.

Currently, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion is mainly equipped with three types of air defense weapons.

One is the Type 65 37mm twin-barreled anti-aircraft gun, equipped with two companies in total.

A company was equipped with 18 guns, for a total of 36 guns.

The second one is naturally the Type 59 100mm caliber heavy anti-aircraft gun.

However, under normal circumstances, this anti-aircraft gun will only be used for air defense of key locations and will not be easily moved.

After all, it is not easy to move such a ten-ton giant, and it has very high requirements for transportation.

This was also true even though Li Jingrong had already brought the matching tractor.

Another one is the Hongying 5 air defense missile brought by Li Jingrong.

This is also the reason why the anti-aircraft machine guns were removed from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Because there is already a perfect replacement.

In addition to these three anti-aircraft artillery companies and one anti-aircraft missile company, a new organization has appeared in the anti-aircraft artillery battalion - the fire control platoon!

They were equipped with fire control equipment brought by Li Jingrong.

For example, the Type 5901 director and the Type 5 gun-aiming radar.

Specialized in commanding the anti-aircraft guns to conduct air defense operations, this fire control platoon is the core brain of the entire anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Compared with blind shooting relying on luck, the hit rate is many times higher with a director and gun-aiming radar.

However, all members of this fire control platoon are controlled by personnel belonging to the Deep Blue Guard.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the Independent Regiment, but it was necessary to keep it secret.

Besides, the independent regiment can’t use these things now.

Li Jingrong also figured it out and decided to form a high-tech equipment unit on his own.

It would be better to play supporting role in an independent group.
