But Li Ziyuan didn't have the ability to take all these guns away. Even the Type 91 105* gun, with a total weight of less than two tons, is the lightest artillery of its type in the world. But this weight is still not something that Li Ziyuan's department or even the entire Eighth Route Army can afford.

The Japanese army not only had all kinds of tractors, but also their own heavy horses that had been painstakingly cultivated for many years. Even though the Japanese army had a very low degree of mechanization, it also used a lot of animal power. However, the Japanese army has worked hard for decades, and the heavy horses they have cultivated are far superior to the dwarf Chinese horses, both in terms of carrying and traction.

The traction of a heavy horse painstakingly cultivated by the Japanese army is equal to that of two Chinese horses. This is still the case with good horses, and the average horse needs to be more numerous. Compared with the weight of two tons and five hundred kilograms, Li Ziyuan still calculates clearly. For the troops, the heavier the better.

Even though a lot of Japanese heavy horses were captured this time, these horses were not something that a regimental unit could support. The 50 or so native mules and horses that the army has already reached the limit of what it can bear. Even so, the forage needed for daily life often gives Li Ziyuan a headache.

To take these guns away, together with the horses carrying them, at least quadrupled this figure, in order to guarantee the basic mobility of the troops. But Li Ziyuan can't afford to support this number at all. Unless he wants his troops, that poor family, to be completely bankrupt.

At this time, soldiers and mobility are more precious than anything else, and Li Ziyuan will not transfer with such a burden, so that his troops will be caught up and eaten by the Japanese puppet army because they are overburdened. Coupled with the captured shells of this * gun, there are only more than 40 rounds at full range.

This bit of shells ran out, and the cannon became a pile of scrap metal. No matter how powerful the artillery is, it is in vain to have no shells. Even if he surrenders himself to the military region, the military region may not be able to do anything about this big guy. Cannonballs are not bullets, and the manufacturing process is quite complicated.

The Eighth Route Army itself can make some relatively simple * but it can't even make mountain artillery shells, let alone such large-caliber * guns? And this kind of * artillery is not like those 92 infantry guns or mountain artillery, and the shells can be captured a little bit.

With the usual stinginess of the Japanese army, the sweeping Eighth Route Army would not easily use such large-caliber artillery. Against only a few mortars, not even light and heavy machine guns. There were also no reinforced concrete fortifications, and the best fortifications were the Eighth Road, which was built of stone and could even be completely dealt with with the 92 infantry guns.

With such large-caliber * guns, it is really some anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, which is simply a pure waste. Speaking of the mountainous areas of the Eighth Route Movement, this kind of large-caliber * artillery is also troublesome for the Japanese army to maneuver. The tractor is good, but it has to be on a road to use it.

It is also good to have a heavy horse that has been cultivated by decades of painstaking efforts, but it also has to have a way to go. * The cannon is not a mountain cannon, and it can be disassembled into several large pieces to carry it when necessary. In the mountains, there are not roads everywhere. Therefore, the Japanese army generally fought on the Eighth Route with mountain artillery, mortars and infantry artillery, and even field artillery rarely dispatched.

Today, I used a lot of brains to get such a cannon and more than 40 shells. The next time it was captured, I didn't know the Year of the Monkey. If there is no place to capture, it means that there is no source of replenishment for shells, and the cannon has basically become a heavy ornament, and this is not counting the problem of artillery.

Zhou Tong's artillery company, the gunner is indeed over-allocated. But the problem is that those artillery are all trained with mountain artillery. Tuye Balu never thought that he would be equipped with such a large-caliber * gun. At present, Zhou Tong's subordinates can only use the method of mountain artillery shooting to manipulate this 105* cannon.

Thanks to the participation in the fire coverage, if you expect this * gun to shoot a high-precision single gun, it is not even a matter of even thinking about it. Look at those guys, when they operate this * gun, they don't distinguish between hands and feet, and they don't have a single accurate number when charging. When I first dragged it back, I didn't even understand how to fire.

I don't know how much the maximum range is, and I don't know the overall ballistic performance. How much range, how much * should be installed, even Zhou Tong can't figure it out. This Japanese army's latest 100-millimeter caliber gun has never been exported to China. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the first contact of the Chinese army was to be bombarded on the battlefield.

The reason why Zhou Tong is not unfamiliar with this kind of cannon is not unfamiliar. Because during the Battle of Xinkou, he fought with the Japanese Fifth Division, which was equipped with this artillery. But the so-called not stranger is to be bombarded by this kind of artillery. The maximum range of this cannon is known, as well as the basic trajectory, and nothing else is known.

He, a veteran of artillery, has a limited understanding of this kind of Japanese artillery, let alone other dirt roads? It took me half an hour to figure out how to adjust the shooting range. If it weren't for the * cannon and the mountain artillery, both of which belonged to the nature of the * gun, the characteristics of the ballistics were basically the same.

Li Ziyuan estimated that he would not be able to figure out how to use this cannon until he retreated. In other words, even if this cannon is snatched back, it can basically only be used as a bystander, and it blows up when it is about to retreat. If it weren't for the tactics that Zhou Tong came up with, this cannon would not have been able to play a role even if it participated in the war.

Although when the troops counterattacked, they captured a few Japanese artillerymen. But at this time, how could Li Ziyuan have the time to do the work of these guys. Let them manipulate this old weapon of their old to bombard their old robes? By the time they finish their work, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold.

Not only their own troops, but even the artillery instructors of the military region probably do not know how to use this kind of artillery. The mountain artillery and infantry artillery used by the Japanese army were captured by the Eighth Route Army in all previous operations. But this kind of large-caliber * cannon is the first time that the Eighth Route Army has captured it.

Playing mortars on the earth eight roads is handy. But when it comes to this kind of large-caliber * gun, at least for now, it can only be said. At least in the last year or two, it will not be able to grasp it at all. After all, the Eighth Route Army, which was good at guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, encountered Japanese mountain artillery, infantry artillery and mortars more often, and as for this kind of * artillery, it was almost never encountered.

Not to mention the artillery that was captured and not captured by the opposing side. Even the few Japanese artillery soldiers captured by Li Ziyuan this time are estimated to be the first time that the entire Eighth Route Army has captured Japanese heavy artillery prisoners. Therefore, even if he was distressed, Li Ziyuan could only blow up the first * gun of the Eighth Route Army with a caliber of more than 100 mm after he ran out of shells.

Similarly, there is the 94-type mountain cannon, although there is no problem in the structure of use. But Zhou Tong and his subordinates were all cultivated using the Siyi mountain artillery. For this kind of 94-type mountain cannon, it will be used but it will not be maintained. Moreover, the number of Type 94 mountain shells is so much, unlike the Type 41 mountain shell troops, which still have a certain inventory.

Both guns were caliber seven or five millimeters, but they were not universal. If it is gone, it is also difficult to replenish. If this Type 94 mountain cannon and the Type 41 mountain cannon can be used together, whether it is Li Ziyuan or Zhou Tong, the final choice will be the Type 94 mountain cannon. But it's a pity that the Type 94 mountain cannon and the Type 41 mountain cannon cannons cannot be used together.

In addition, Li Ziyuan had to be lightly armed to the maximum extent to ensure the speed of retreat, and he could only carry one mountain cannon to transfer. In the case of choosing one of the two, this is not like the 41-type mountain gun, which not only uses the 94-type mountain gun but also repairs, although the performance is far superior to the 41-type mountain gun, but it is also completely blown up after the cannonball is exhausted. Willing, willing, giving will be gained.

Similarly, there is the 1,000 kilograms* that Li Ziyuan buried under the northern city wall. And the violent explosion on the northern city wall not only stunned the Japanese army. Even He Sanliang and Qian Peng were taken aback. Only then did they know what Li Ziyuan was doing with the engineer company last night.

Moreover, a dozen other weapons and ammunition seized in the northern county town were transported back, why did this guy take half of the captured * with him. In the southwestern part of Hubei, the Japanese discovered a coal mine of considerable scale. In order to mine this mine, a batch of *, * and * was transported.

As a result, almost all of this batch* fell into the hands of Li Ziyuan. But after a dozen pots in the northern county, Li Ziyuan left half of the number. Along the way, I didn't drop a box. The two of them thought that this guy was going to make these* bags when needed.

Who would have thought that he would actually use these*, plus the * collected from several fireworks workshops in Hubei County, to blow up the entire northern city wall. Whether this guy is a loser or really big, Qian Peng is also a little confused.

Although Qian Peng also knew that a thousand kilograms* to solve so many Japanese puppet troops at once was a pretty cost-effective deal. At least so many Japanese puppet troops were solved, except for a thousand kilograms*, not a single shot was wasted, and not a single soldier was sacrificed, and the deal was a good deal.

can know this truth, but Qian Peng still feels very distressed. How many explosions can be made if these are shipped back? It turned out to be good, and he used it all at once. Is he a loser, a loser, or a loser? When he said important things three times, Qian Peng silently recited them three times in his heart.

Just when Qian Peng was distressed here, Li Ziyuan's words came from the side: "Old Qian, the troops have begun to retreat from the West Gate, if you continue to be stunned here, don't blame me for being a prisoner." Why don't you hurry up? There's nothing diorama to see here right now. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's words, Qian Peng, who had just woken up from his daze, saw that the artillery left at the end was in full swing, under the cover of a company after the break. The * cannon and the 94-type mountain cannon that could not be taken away, and the last bit of shells poured down on the Japanese side. The mountain artillery that the troops were originally equipped with, as well as the captured mortars, have been withdrawn and are unknown.

Qian Peng, who had just reacted from the shock, hurriedly cleaned up, turned around and evacuated behind Li Ziyuan. And after they left, the artillerymen who ran out of the last shells. He also smashed all the captured poison gas shells behind the Japanese puppet army positions outside the city. Pull out a 97-type*, pull out the safety pin, smash it on the barrel, and stuff it into the barrel.

After a loud bang and the barrel of the cannon was blown off, these people, under the command of Zhou Tong, placed a bundle of bundles* on the cannon body. After tying the rope with a rope, the two guns that could not be taken away were completely blown up. Then, under the cover of an infantry company, quickly follow the withdrawal of troops.
