Anti-Japanese War: A district team with more than 100 million soldiers!

After entering the mountain, Qin Long searched for a long time before finding a cave that met the requirements.

After all, what he wanted to exchange this time was a bit big.

When he arrived at the cave, Qin Long opened the system panel.

The first thing to replace is naturally the weapons and ammunition of the new infantry company. Just copy those of that infantry company.

120 Kar98k Mauser rifles = 3600 points.

12 Czech ZB26 light machine guns = 600 points.

Fired (Standby) + Fired (Training) = Fired 7.92x57mm rifle bullets = 5000 points.

4 MG42 general-purpose machine guns = 400 points.

Fire (Standby) 7.92x57mm rifle ammunition = 2000 points.

Then Qin Long replenished the training ammunition for the infantry company, from shot to shot.

6900 rounds of 7.92x57mm rifle ammunition = 690 points.

Then, Qin Long organized an artillery company with 60 of the 40 new artillerymen and equipped them as usual.

20 Kar98k Mauser rifles = 600 points.

2000 rounds of 7.92x57mm rifle ammunition = 200 points.

4 Thompson M1A1 submachine guns = 200 points.

4000 rounds of 11.43mm ACP pistol ammunition = 200 points.

The remaining 20 people were assigned as ammunition handlers and porters.

As usual, they were given 20 Thompson submachine guns and regular ammunition.

20 Thompson M1A1 submachine guns = 1000 points.

Firing 11.43mm ACP pistol bullets = 1000 points.

Next, Qin Long is going to replace the big one!

Opening the system page, Qin Long searched for the 105mm howitzer.

In the end, he chose the M1963 102mm howitzer, which the United States only began to finalize its production in 105.

Although the price is a bit higher than the current period, the advantage is that the performance is superior!

4 M102 105mm howitzers = 3000 points.

Then there are the artillery shells. Each gun still has 100 rounds at hand.

400 105mm howitzer shells = points.

Then there is Sharma, the towed gun and shells. The top-loaded shells of the M102 105mm howitzer weigh 21 kilograms.

所以秦龙又换了8匹夏尔马出来，4匹公的用来拉2.2吨的炮，4匹母的每匹拉100发炮弹。

8 Shire Horses = 800 points.

After exchanging all these things, Qin Long left the cave and went back to Stone Village to call people.

Why didn’t Qin Long change to a larger caliber 155mm howitzer?

That’s because the 105mm howitzer is already considered heavy artillery on the current battlefield in Longguo.

Not to mention our army and the national army, even the Japanese did not have many artillery pieces with a caliber of 105mm or above.

The Japanese Type 105 12mm field guns were only equipped with 24 to guns in the field artillery regiment under each regular division.

As for the Nationalist Army, the only truly sophisticated artillery pieces with a caliber of 105mm or above that they possessed during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan were the 88 artillery pieces they bought from failed art students in the early stages of the war.

Among them, 48 are 155mm caliber guns.

The rest were either the outdated Soviet-made artillery pieces supported by the Russians during World War I, or domestically imitated, totaling only about 50 pieces.

Although last year, that is, in 1941, the United States announced that the Lend-Lease Act also applied to Longguo, in the following four years, it would loan support to Longguo about 400 artillery pieces with a caliber of 105mm or above.

But putting aside the fact that it needs to be paid back, 90% of it was given to the Indian Army in the counterattack in northern Myanmar and the expeditionary force in the counterattack in western Yunnan. It really has nothing to do with domestic affairs...

This directly leads to the fact that even on the battlefield a few years later, the 105mm artillery will definitely be a heavy artillery-level artillery!

However, these are not the main reasons why Qin Long temporarily gave up the 155mm howitzer and chose the 105mm howitzer.

The main reason is that the M102 105mm howitzer weighs only 2.2 tons and can be pulled around by a Shire horse.

Those 155mm howitzers weigh six or seven tons, which is really not suitable for Qin Long’s current team and the next strategic deployment.

Because Qin Long’s next strategic deployment is to develop towards western Shanxi and eventually take over Taiyuan.

Then we have to go into the mountains!

Therefore, the 155mm howitzer that must be towed by a truck is really not suitable.

Another point is that this 1963mm howitzer, which was only finalized and started to be produced by the United States in 105, is excellent enough!

The maximum range of its shells with top charge can reach 15.1 kilometers!

It directly crushed the Japanese Type 105 11mm field gun, whose maximum range was less than kilometers, to the ground.

at the same time.

The Japanese command headquarters in Baoding County.

"Baga! Are you an idiot?! A whole battalion's strength was lost by more than half in just a few days?!"

"The key is that you don't even know how those loyal imperial warriors died! You're a complete loser! You should just commit seppuku to thank His Majesty!"

"Hey! Your Excellency is right! This is all my fault!"

Musashi Ryutomi stood straight with his head down and was being scolded!

"Baga! You can't be forgiven just by admitting and taking responsibility for your mistakes!"

The other side continued to curse:

"If it weren't for the special period now! You must commit seppuku!"

After venting his anger, the other party continued:

"I will contact the Umekawa Battalion responsible for protecting Miss Inoue and have them stay to help you guard the place."

"Also, I will send you another special force in a while. You must fully cooperate with their operations then!"

"Your mission during this period is to ensure that the sweep of the area you are responsible for proceeds normally."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone without waiting for Musashi Liufu to reply, obviously still angry!

"The Umekawa Battalion?"

Hope lit up in Musashi Ryutomi's eyes.

That was a reinforced brigade, and its combat effectiveness was well-known throughout the entire North China Front!

With such a large team to help, Musashi Liufu vowed that he would find and destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the Hebei-Central base!

Soon, Qin Long returned to Shitou Village. This time, he called everyone except the tank company and the medical team.

The comrades of the 715rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment were tired and hungry, so Qin Long didn't call them in order to let them rest more.

"Brother Dashan, the captain called us all together. What are we moving?"

On the way, Shuisheng quietly approached Dashan and asked in a low voice.

Dashan shook his head:

"I don't know, maybe there are too many things?"

"Oh……"

Shuisheng, who was extremely curious, asked Tiezhu and even Yang Zhihua, but they didn't know either...

On the way, Qin Long found another cave and threw the 50 boxes of biological bombs seized from the Xiting stronghold into it.

Following the same pattern, they got 1000 white phosphorus bombs for free again.

"We're here. A few people go in first and help me pull the big guy out. Then you guys go in and move the stuff."

Shuisheng, Tiezhu, Dashan, Yang Zhihua, Tian Bokin and Sanhu followed Qin Long into the cave.

Soon, when the four M4 102mm howitzers were pulled out of the cave by four Shire horses, everyone's eyes widened!

"Holy crap! Isn't this cannon too big?!"

This group of people only have this one thought in their minds now!

Especially Yang Zhihua, looking at the four M4 102mm howitzers, his eyes were almost tearing...

Compared to the M102 105mm howitzer, Yang Zhihua felt that the four Bofors M4 1930mm mountain guns that he had always treasured were like children's toys. They suddenly lost their appeal...

"Don't look at it anymore. Your eyeballs will be stuck there and can't be peeled off."

Qin Long patted Yang Zhihua, then said to the others:

"Hurry up and move all the things back. We'll go out again this afternoon."

at the same time.

In the mountainous area of ​​northwestern Shanxi, close to the Ji Zhong base area.

A main force regiment of our army has just repelled and escaped the pursuit of two squadrons of Japanese devils.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers were preparing to move on, circling the mountains with the Japanese.

A signalman from our army rode up on horseback. After being checked by the sentry, the signalman finally saw the commander of the regiment:

"Captain Ding, your superiors have decided to change your regiment's next direction of action to the southeast, heading towards a place called Stone Village."

As he spoke, the signalman handed the document in his hand to Ding Wei:

"Here are the files."

"Ok?"

Ding Wei looked at the document and asked:

"Why did you ask me to take people to that Stone Village? Is there an important person who needs to be transferred? Or?"

"do not know."

The signalman shook his head.

"Okay, go back and report to the boss."

Ding Wei said very formally:

"I, Ding Wei, have received orders from my superiors to move immediately towards Shitou Village."

After sending the signalman away, Ding Wei immediately ordered:

"Everyone assemble! Get ready to go!"
