At the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, Wang Ping couldn't help but shout as soon as he walked in: "Chief! Heavy artillery, we have heavy artillery! ”

Artillery is the god of war, there has been a saying since ancient times.

The commander of the military district and the chief of staff are both military men and senior commanders, and they are well aware of the importance of artillery on the battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as they heard the word heavy artillery, the eyes of the two people shot out two fine lights, staring at Wang Ping and asking rhetorically.

"What heavy artillery, you name it clearly!"

"120 mm caliber mortars, the power of the shells is even more powerful than the devil field guns we captured! Our arsenal produces its own production, and now it is ready for mass production, and I am making the arsenal work overtime to produce! Wang Ping replied immediately.

Commander Nie's first reaction was disbelief.

After seeing Wang Ping's affirmative face, Commander Nie finally believed it, chased after Wang Ping and asked, "How is the performance, are there any technical parameters!" ”

"Yes, when I came, I specially let the arsenal test launch, and all kinds of parameters are on this piece of paper, please take a look at the two chiefs!" Wang Ping directly handed the data list in his hand to the two of them.

Commander Nie was not polite at all, snatched the list and began to look.

The chief of staff stood directly behind Commander Nie, stretched out his head to look at it, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

Before Commander Nie could speak, he asked, "Wang Ping, are the data and parameters on the intelligence true?" ”

"Definitely!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"Because the barrel does not have special cannon steel, it is made of rail steel. For safety, our barrel is longer and thicker than that of the original gun! ”

"So, the weight of the whole cannon is forty kilograms heavier than the original one!"

"Forty kilograms is no problem, as long as the performance of the gun meets the requirements!" Commander Nie said with an indifferent expression.

"After disassembling it, the barrel of the cannon weighs more than 300 catties, and a mule and horse can easily carry it around the cannon, and it weighs 80 catties and has no effect at all!"

After speaking, Commander Nie stared at the chief of staff and asked: "If we can equip this kind of mortar to the brigade level, not to mention too much, a brigade only needs to be equipped with one company, and when facing a wing of devils, nine heavy mortars can suppress four mountain artillery guns in their mountain artillery squadron, and they can also support infantry operations!" ”

Wang Ping said: "The chief is right, except for the mountain artillery whose range is not as good as that of the little devil's equipment, the power is definitely not lower than that of the mountain artillery equipped by the little devil." ”

"Ordinary bunker fortifications, with 120mm mortars, only need one shell to hit the target, and those masonry bunkers and turrets will be blown down!"

"The damage to the infantry is even greater, with the impact point as the center, and the enemy within a radius of 15 meters will either be killed or wounded."

"A devil within five meters, even if he lies on the ground, the shock wave can shock him to death or injure him!"

"The brigade is equipped with a heavy mortar company, the regiment is equipped with an 82 mortar company plus an infantry artillery platoon of captured devils, the battalion is equipped with a heavy machine gun platoon, the company is equipped with a small artillery squad, that is, a grenadier squad, and the platoon is equipped with a light machine gun. As long as the devils do not have aircraft and heavy artillery support, one of our brigades can easily fight against an infantry wing of the Japanese army. ”

"Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this, our troops are well-trained and have plenty of ammunition!"

"If you don't have ammunition, the best weapon is a burning stick. If you don't train well, no matter how good a weapon is, you won't be able to use it to the fullest! ”

"I agree with Wang Ping's opinion, commander, I think that the main force of our military region should be equipped according to the firepower configuration that Wang Ping just said!" The chief of staff said with a twinkle in his eyes.

The most important reason why the Eighth Route Army is called the Eighth Route Army by outsiders is that the Eighth Route Army is poor and poorly equipped, and it looks like it is called the Hanako Army.

If there is enough equipment, no one does not want to regularize the Eighth Route Army and throw off the title of the Eighth Route Army.

"And what about the mountain artillery we captured on the battlefield?" Commander Nie didn't answer, but asked thoughtfully.

Now that the words have been spoken, Wang Ping no longer conceals it, and directly reveals all his thoughts.

"With military divisions and base areas as units, according to the strength of the Japanese puppet army they faced, an independent mountain artillery battalion and mountain artillery regiment were formed to fight against the artillery brigade and artillery wing when the Japanese army was heavily encircled and suppressed. Otherwise, in front of the Japanese artillery brigade and artillery wing, we could only be beaten passively and did not have any strength to fight back. ”

Commander Nie frowned, neither affirming nor denying.

After hesitating for almost half a minute, he asked: "What about the production of 120-mm mortars?" ”

"I can produce fifteen guns a month by working overtime, and I have ordered the arsenal to produce it at full capacity, and to get the shells out as soon as possible!"

"Also, according to the inference of Director Zhang, who is in charge of artillery, the arsenal will be able to build the first self-produced mountain cannon in a month at most, and strive to produce the first self-produced field cannon in three months. As for artillery shells, mortar shells, mountain artillery shells, field artillery shells, because the equipment is ready-made, it will take a month at most to get it all out. ”

"However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the output cannot be guaranteed for the time being."

"The limited raw materials will definitely be produced on the basis of the shortage of ammunition!"

At this time, Commander Nie finally spoke, and analyzed with a thoughtful expression.

"One gun in two days, more than 180 guns a year, can form 20 heavy mortar companies. All brigade-level detachments in our military region add up to only 15, and they will be able to complete them in more than half a year. ”

"Chief of Staff, there's a head. You can order the specific plan, and you can also discuss it with the following commanders. They are on the front line, dealing with devils every day, and they know what kind of firepower configuration is most beneficial for them to fight devils! ”

"Yes, Commander!" The chief of staff replied with an excited face.

You must know that if all the main forces of the military region are reorganized according to the firepower allocation plan just proposed by Wang Ping, the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will certainly become the first regularized unit of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Commander Nie's face suddenly became serious.

He frowned and said, "Wang Ping, the military region has just received a piece of information from the headquarters. You are only a regimental-level cadre, and you are not enough to know the level. But considering the importance of the arsenal, and this information is also related to the arsenal, after reporting to the headquarters for approval, I decided to tell you! ”

Wang Ping's face instantly became solemn.

Commander Nie did not hide it, and said directly: "According to intelligence, the Japanese are organizing a larger-scale sweep, unprecedented, directly targeting our entire Eighth Route Army!" ”

"However, after our analysis, in this large-scale encirclement and suppression operation, the devil must have another goal, our arsenal!"

"The devils have twice bombed our arsenal on a large scale in vain, and they will definitely not give up. We suspect that the devils will send an elite army to attack the arsenal! ”

"The Tempest, a real storm is coming!" This sentence suddenly popped up in Wang Ping's mind!
