Chapter 187 107 Rocket Artillery
Ushijima is dead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ozaka Kamezo was afraid that the summer tide would not know the news, so he mourned Ushijima with great fanfare. and sent people to spread the word that the commander of the Ushijima Division unfortunately suffered a stroke and died.
At this time, it is the third day of the summer tide to issue the death order!
Chen Bui, Minister of Propaganda of the State Government, held a press conference to announce the news of the suicide of Ushijima, and the people of China breathed a big sigh of evil!
Yan'an.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu said: "Okay, good killing. Now, when the devil kills the people again, he will have to be more restrained. Our Eighth Route Army must also carry out such an operation to combat the arrogance of devils and traitors. ”
Kenji Dohihara was once again rebuked by Emperor Hirohito. This time, he didn't throw anything anymore, and directly kicked Kenji Tohihara with his foot.
Odaka Kamezo thinks that he has given Summer Tide a big gift, and he should be alive. Unexpectedly, people didn't appreciate it and launched an attack on his territory.
Xia Chao believed that the 12th Army of Otaka Kamezo was currently empty and that it was a good time to expand its base area, so he ordered his troops to attack everywhere, knock out some small towns around them, and further expand the area of control.
The 35th Group Army, with divisions as units, formed five campaign groups, and carried out a five-day offensive operation with the goal of attacking small and medium-sized towns. By the 18th of January, the battle was over. The units successfully completed their tasks.
In this offensive operation, eight new county towns were occupied: Dong'e, Feicheng, Yanggu, Taiqian, Yuncheng, Surabaya, Xintai, and Mengyin. The base area has expanded to a vast area of 3 cities, 24 county seats, and parts of 7 counties. The total population is 6.67 million.
In addition to the original 2 corps, 1 independent division, and 5 independent brigades, the 35th Army has newly organized 2 supplementary brigades, the engineer brigade has been expanded to 6 regiments, the artillery brigade has been expanded to 10 regiments, and the antiaircraft artillery brigade has been expanded to 2 brigades.
The guerrilla army also has 4 regular brigades and 45 garrison regiments. The militia grew to 38,000 people.
As the army expanded, the issue of weapons became an issue that needed to be solved urgently.
Zhang Zizhong ran to the arsenal as soon as he was free, he didn't know how to do it, but he just liked the arsenal. Looking at the batches of brand-new weapons, he was happy in his heart.
On this day, Xia Chao was going to the arsenal, and Zhang Zizhong heard about it, so he wanted to go together. Xu Feihu also had to follow, and as a result, the top leaders of the group army ran to the arsenal.
Lu Zhengxin, director of the arsenal, saw that the bigwigs of the group army were coming, and he was anxious to report to them about the newly developed weapons. Summer Tide offered to visit the arsenal. He goes out a lot and hasn't been here in a while.
Lu Zhengxin led the way in front and introduced as he walked.
With the unremitting efforts of the officers and men of the Engineer Brigade, the place of the arsenal is getting bigger and bigger, and their luck is very good, they unexpectedly found a very large cave, and there is a dark river under the cave, which not only makes the place of the arsenal big enough, but also solves the problem of water.
The officers and men of the engineer brigade are also addicted to digging, and they are still digging, and the territory of the arsenal is expanding day by day.
Zhang Zizhong has volunteered to manage the arsenal, and he has an advantage, that is, he never interferes in the specific business of the arsenal, but just acts as a good logistics supervisor, and if the arsenal lacks anything, he will immediately send someone to find out.
Now, the scale of the arsenal is no less than that of the Hanyang Arsenal, and the equipment and technical strength surpass the Hanyang Arsenal, and on the ground in China, it is second only to the Shenyang Arsenal under Japanese control.
However, there is one thing, the Baoqinggu Arsenal definitely surpasses the Shenyang Arsenal. That's the constant introduction of new weapons.
The bigwigs of the group army looked at the machines that started one after another, the boxes of bullets stacked, and the rows of assembled weapons, all of which were smiling.
Out of the work area, Xia Chao asked Lu Zhengxin what other arrangements he had. Without waiting for Lu Zhengxin to answer, Zhang Zizhong said first: "Let's test our new weapons." ”
Xu Feihu asked curiously, "What kind of weapon is this time?" ”
Zhang Zizhong said excitedly: "Let's go, just take a look at the scene." ”
The group walked towards the weapons test site. On the way, Xia Chao asked Zhang Hu, who had been promoted to the head of the arsenal guard: "Lao Zhang, are you okay?" ”
Zhang Hu has been in charge of security work in the arsenal since he was injured during the Battle of Taierzhuang. He said, "Thank you Commander for your concern, it's all right." Dean Chen personally checked for me, and there was no problem at all. ”
Xia Chao said: "The arsenal is our lifeblood, but it's all up to you." ”
Zhang Hu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander, our guard regiment is the first to get the moon near the water, and the weapons and equipment are too good, I have some expectations that the devils can come over and fight with them." ”
He is right, in the area of hugging the calf, there are clear and dark castles everywhere. There are hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, a large number of underground tunnels and minefields, and devils are welcome to attack at any time.
When they arrived at the weapons test site, a group of engineers were surrounding an artillery piece, and when they saw the leaders of the group army coming, they all stood up straight and welcomed them.
An American engineer, speaking not very proficient Chinese, said: "Mr. Commander, I can't believe it, how did you come up with such artillery?!" ”
In front of everyone's eyes is a multiple rocket launcher.
The standard 107mm rocket launcher is a 12-round interpack, with a fast firing speed, short reload time, and sudden and fierce firepower, making it an excellent weapon for attacking targets at close range. The maximum firing range is 8500 meters.
China's Type 63 107mm rocket launcher looks a little rudimentary, and after sticking to the soil, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a weapon or a farm tool, and it has nothing to do with high-tech and digitalization. Despite its modest appearance, during its 40 years of service, it has repeatedly performed incredible miracles. To this day, the armed forces that use it are spread all over the world. "AK-47" in the rocket artillery world.
The 107-mm rocket launcher is not only small in overall weight, but also can be quickly disassembled and combined, and the weight of individual parts after disassembly does not exceed 30 kg. In order to meet the requirements of the human back, the decomposed part has the following characteristics in terms of structural size: the upper neck is not (easy to raise the head), the lower is not the hip (easy to step), the width is not but the shoulder (easy to pass), and the center of gravity is close to the body (to prevent twisting the waist). In these respects, it can be said that no rocket artillery in the world can be compared with 107 rocket artillery.
Summer Tide introduced this portable infantry support artillery in accordance with the current lack of carriers in the army group. The army group currently has a significant number of trucks, and the 107 rocket launcher can be towed, or mounted directly on the truck and become self-propelled guns.
Xia Chao and others visited the shooting performance of the 107 rocket artillery, and in addition to Xia Chao, they were elated one by one.
Xu Feihu said: "My mother, this rocket artillery is too powerful, 12 Type 92 infantry guns on the top of a cannon are much more powerful than that." ”
Xia Chao said: "Brothers, are you interested in going out and having fun? ”
