Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

The weakest point of a row of defenses is the lack of air defense.

Duan Peng went to carry out the mission of blowing up the airport, which was an order issued by Lin Qiang before the action.

The special forces team has strong combat capabilities and also carries professional blasting equipment, but the Japanese airport is heavily guarded, so whether they can succeed is still a question.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

This is the truth that Lin Qiang understood when he bought the villa.

The bombing of Manchun Building earned 4 anti-Japanese war points, which were used to exchange for blasting equipment and C explosives for the special forces, costing a total of . The system mall also reached level four.

There are many things that can be exchanged for after the upgrade, but the only one that can effectively defend against air attacks is the Soviet SHK DShK 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

One of every ten thousand anti-Japanese war bullets comes with three thousand rounds of ammunition.

Forty-three thousand anti-Japanese war points could only purchase forty-three anti-aircraft machine guns.

To be honest, Lin Qiang looks down on this air defense capability.

At least we need a surface-to-air automatic tracking missile!

Not to mention that there is none, even if there is, Lin Qiang probably can't afford it.

Seeing that the mall was only one hundred thousand away from upgrading, Lin Qiang gritted his teeth and exchanged for ten DShK anti-aircraft machine guns.

【System Mall Upgrade Successfully! 】

As the system prompt sounded, Lin Qiang couldn't wait to reopen the mall to see what fun things he could buy after this upgrade.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, just a casual glance and Lin Qiang was shocked to the point of being motionless.

The first thing that catches your eye is a serious anti-aircraft weapon - the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

It has a firing altitude of 4.75 kilometers, powerful firepower, and is equipped with precise aiming equipment, capable of dealing with a variety of air targets including high-speed fighter jets.

Its maximum range reaches 4.75 kilometers, and its theoretical firing rate can reach 80 to 160 rounds per minute. It is known as the most popular anti-aircraft weapon during World War II.

There is also the T-34 medium tank, which the Soviet Union is proud of and is known as one of the most successful tanks during World War II.

The price is not 998, not 698, and not 288, just 88, just 88, and you can successfully bring the T-34 home!

It also comes with five training manuals, namely commander, gunner, driver, mechanic, and loader.

But he is very considerate.

The price is also very humane.

It’s just that Lin Qiang can’t afford it.

The unit after 88 is ten thousand.

Lin Qiang's family assets were only 37 Anti-Japanese War points, not even half of that.

The mall also has "Katyusha" rocket launchers, anti-tank mines, various types of tanks, howitzers, and more!

It can be said that it has everything.

"Still poor!"

If possible, Lin Qiang would like to buy a T-34 tank now and drive it directly to the Japanese to give them a big surprise.

The most important thing at this stage is air defense. Even if Lin Qiang really has enough anti-war points, he will give priority to Bofors anti-aircraft guns.

There are two models of Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, namely L/60 and L/70.

The difference between the two models is the weight of the weapon itself and the specifications of the shells.

其中60型号的重量为1981kg，而70型号则是增重到了5150kg，炮弹也分别是40x311毫米的炮弹，而70则是使用40x364毫米的炮弹。

The firing rate is also different. The firing rate of the 60 model is 120 rounds per minute, the initial velocity of the shell is 881 meters per second, the maximum range is 7160 meters, the shooting elevation range is -5°/90°, the traverse angle is 360°, the elevation rate is 55° per second, and the traverse rate is 50° per second.

The firing rate of the 70 model is increased to 330 rounds per second, the muzzle velocity is 1012 meters per second, the maximum range is increased to meters, the shooting elevation range is -20°/+80°, the elevation rate is 57° per second, and the rotation rate is 92° per second.

It is also equipped with two towed anti-aircraft gun systems, an optoelectronic fire control system and a radar fire control system.

Lin Qiang chose the former. In fact, no matter which system it is, it can operate independently and effectively deal with low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude targets.

The 70 model is much better than the 60 model in all aspects, but Lin Qiang finally bought the latter.

Lin Qiang valued the lightness and convenience of the 60 model, and definitely did not think that it was only half the price of the 70 model.

Absolutely not!

The Bofors 40mm L60 anti-aircraft gun costs $ and comes with a training manual and rounds of ammunition.

The Model 70 is priced at $ and comes with a training manual and rounds of ammunition.

Lin Qiang bought twelve Bofors 40mm L60 anti-aircraft guns at one go, spending a total of anti-war points.

Five hundred thousand, and in the blink of an eye only ten thousand anti-war points were left.

Lin Qiang had no intention of keeping this ten thousand yuan.

A 40x311mm L60 shell was priced at fifty anti-war points, but Lin Qiang didn't even think about it or even look at it.

Currently, the twelve Bofors anti-aircraft guns have 36,000 rounds of ammunition, which is completely sufficient in a short period of time. The Japanese don’t have many planes in Taiyuan. They can’t all bomb a row of bases at once, right?

Generally, only six soldiers are needed to operate an anti-aircraft gun. Lin Qiang expects that each anti-aircraft gun will be operated by ten soldiers.

There is one person for command, one for observation, two for aiming, one for loading, one for firing, one for logistics, and three for reserve personnel to prevent accidents.

Reserve personnel can also play the important role of transporting ammunition during wartime.

Lin Qiang did not plan to deploy all of the twelve anti-aircraft guns in the base. There were also ten anti-aircraft machine guns, which were more than enough for the base's air defense capabilities.

Anti-aircraft machine guns are usually operated by two people, but Lin Qiang budgeted for four people, two of whom were reserve personnel and logistics personnel.

Four Bofors anti-aircraft guns require forty men, and ten anti-aircraft machine guns also require forty men, for a total of eighty men.

There's no way. The team is so huge that reducing these eighty people won't have any impact at all.

In the following period of time, Lin Qiang selected eighty soldiers, determined the positions of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and used the training manual on them.

After just a few hours, the first platoon had sufficient air defense capabilities and no longer had to worry about the Japanese bomber formations.

After completing the deployment of air defense forces, Lin Qiang had a very strong idea in his mind.

Deploy an anti-aircraft gun in Xiaowangzhuang.

Not for air defense.

What is there to say?

"Level the anti-aircraft guns..."

Taking the Bofors as an example, Lin Qiang felt that it could be used to deal with light tanks, and even medium tanks were no problem.

Powerful firepower combined with accurate shooting can cause incalculable damage to the enemy in a short period of time.

In the end, Lin Qiang gave up the idea, not because he was afraid of the military court.

Towing this thing after it was lowered was a problem, as the main towing capacity of a platoon was a few trucks and the horses of a cavalry company.

During wartime, it was mainly used to tow artillery. The vehicle was carrying enough artillery shells, and the soldiers could only move forward on foot.

This idea was eventually thrown aside. Unless the battle went beyond expectations and howitzers and cavalry archers were unable to suppress the enemy, Lin Qiang would definitely deploy anti-aircraft guns without hesitation.

No matter how great the difficulties are, they can be overcome, but not by the sacrifice of soldiers.
