The cannon parts and shell boxes that were shipped were piled up almost all over the thousands of square meters of the barnyard.

The soldiers of the new regiment, as well as the onlookers, surrounded the barn on the three floors inside and the outside three floors.

I heard that the regiment commander had brought back a lot of cannons, and the lightly wounded who had just been lying at the regiment headquarters also came over to join in the fun.

One of the wounded could not even walk, and when he heard the regiment commander bring another cannon, he walked like a fly.

Seeing that the hygienists are stupid, a medical miracle?

These are not Li Yunlong's pretending to be uninjured soldiers, but it is not like what Li Yunlong said, there are so many wounded that the villagers can't fit them.

In fact, he just wanted to sell miserably.

The commander of the artillery company, Wang Chengzhu, and the soldiers of the artillery company quickly rushed over after receiving the order.

"Pillars!" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu, pointed to the pile of parts and said, "Take your soldiers and assemble all these parts." ”

"What is this?" Wang Chengzhu looked at the cannon parts, his eyes widened.

Behind him, the soldiers of the artillery company also looked over, and their eyes quickly lit up like light bulbs.

As can be seen from the parts, this is definitely a cannon, and it is very likely to be a high-end foreign product.

Artillery had no resistance to artillery at all.

Li Yunlong said: "This is the newly arrived American-style 1 mountain gun, caliber 75 mm, there are a total of 24 here, can you see if you can assemble them all?" ”

"24 doors!" When Wang Chengzhu heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't help but swallow wildly, "Regiment commander, according to that, I'm going to be the commander of the artillery regiment?" ”

My boy, 24 75 mm guns!

That's the artillery of two mountain artillery battalions!

Coupled with the number of the original artillery battalion, there are 3 artillery battalions and an artillery regiment!

I never thought in my life that our old Wang could still be the commander of the artillery regiment?

"What do you kid think?" Li Yunlong glared at him and said with a smile, "You think these cannons are all yours?" Dream! ”

"Even if it's a day's life as an artillery commander."

Wang Chengzhu didn't care, but laughed happily.

"Stop giggling." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "Hurry up and assemble these cannons with your soldiers, and then the labor and management will pull a gate to the back mountain to test its power." ”

"Commander, do you have an instruction manual?"

Wang Chengzhu's face was straight, he rubbed his hands and was eager to try, he was also a little impatient.

Li Yunlong took out a stack of instructions from a small box and handed them to Wang Chengzhu: "It's still the same, one instruction manual for one cannon." ”

Wang Chengzhu took it and immediately sent these instructions to the artillerymen.

Then, Wang Chengzhu immediately opened the manual and read it, and the first few pages of the instruction manual were how to teach the artillery to assemble this M1A1 75mm mountain gun.

After all, to be proficient in handling and using this mountain cannon, learning to assemble it is only the most basic skill.

After only watching the process of assembling mountain cannons, Wang Chengzhu memorized it by heart, which was his unique talent.

"One class obeys my orders!"

"Gun carriage, two gun wheels, and cradle, fast action!"

Wang Chengzhu's rough voice roared.

Behind him, a dozen or so artillerymen from the first squad of the artillery company immediately ran to the pile of parts, and brought out a pair of gun carriages and two gun wheels.

Under the command of Wang Chengzhu, the gun carriage, gun wheel, and cradle were quickly installed.

"Sights, bolts, and barrels!" Wang Chengzhu continued to shout in his loud voice, "Be careful, these things are expensive, don't fall!" ”

As the core of the entire cannon, the barrel is forged from stainless steel, which is extremely hard, but Wang Chengzhu is still cautious.

The bolt is an important part of the artillery, which plays an important role in locking the barrel, firing the shell and drawing out the cartridge in the process of gun firing.

If the bolt fails, the entire cannon will be incapacitated.

As for the aiming scope, it is the most vulnerable structure on the entire cannon body, and whether or not the direct aiming can hit the target almost depends on the gun scope, and if it is far away, the shooting parameters must be calculated.

The Eighth Route Army's battles were mostly fired at close range, so optical gunners were used in most cases.

If the gun mirror was damaged, he wouldn't have a place to cry.

In the final step, several artillerymen work together to lift and finally put the raised upper cover on top of the barrel, and by turning the bolt, the upper cover and the lower base tightly wrap the barrel.

Due to the first assembly, the artillerymen were not very skilled, and the assembly took a full 10 minutes, and this time will be greatly shortened when the soldiers become proficient.

A 75mm mountain cannon that looked a little bloated, but looked like a steel beast, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Other soldiers of the artillery company were also busy assembling mountain cannons, and there was a lot of noise.

"That's it?"

Li Yunlong stepped forward and reached out to touch the pitch-black and hard cannon barrel, and the scorching touch came, and the cannon barrel was sunburned in the sun for a long time, and it was a little hot.

"Can it start? It's not going to blow up, is it? ”

Li Yunlong's mouth was a little dry, and he turned his head to look at Wang Chengzhu.

"That's absolutely impossible." Wang Chengzhu was very confident, "It is absolutely impossible to blow up the chamber, if you don't believe it, regiment commander, we can try it first." ”

Li Yunlong said loudly: "Go and lead the mule, pull this cannon to the back mountain, and try two shots." ”

An artilleryman hurried out of the crowd and went to the logistics convoy to lead the mule.

This cannon is more than 1,300 catties, and a few soldiers can push it away, so a mule or a military horse can pull it away.

However, the complicated mountain road can only be disassembled into cannon parts for the mules to carry on their backs, plus the mules and horses that transport the shells, even if only one mountain artillery battalion is equipped, the logistical pressure is very great.

After a while, the warrior brought a mule and put the 75-mm mountain gun on the mule's shoulder with a thick rope.

"Let's go, go to the back mountain!"

Li Yunlong waved his big hand, the artilleryman led the mule, the mule pulled the mountain cannon, and everyone followed and walked to the back mountain.

Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Zheng Yu, and Chen Dagu were all there, and the sword detachment also came to join in the fun.

When he arrived at the back mountain, Li Yunlong pointed to a big tree on the top of the mountain 500 meters away, and said to Wang Chengzhu: "Pillar, that tree, fuck it!" ”

"Push the cannon here, and the gun carriage is fixed!" Wang Chengzhu shouted, "Move fast!" ”

Several soldiers pushed the cannon to the position pointed by Wang Chengzhu, and then built an artillery position and fixed the gun mount.

Wang Chengzhu looked at the instruction manual, then put his eyes in front of the gun carriage, and then quickly shook the handle, the barrel was quickly lowered, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the target.

"Cannonballs!"

An artilleryman took out the shell from the shell box, Wang Chengzhu pulled the bolt, took the shell and stuffed it into the chamber, and then closed the bolt.

The action is not muddy at all, and it is done in one go.

"Fire!" Li Yunlong ordered.

Wang Chengzhu held the cannon rope in his hand and pulled it back gently, and the cannon body shook violently.

Li Yunlong hurriedly raised his binoculars to look, only to see that the big tree had fallen down under the shelling, and a large puff of gunpowder smoke rose upward.

It looked more powerful than the 75mm Italian field gun, and Li Yunlong looked very satisfied.

Moreover, this 75-mm mountain gun was lighter than the Italian field gun, making it more suitable for mountain combat.

The officers above the company could see more clearly with a telescope, and the onlookers without a telescope only saw a puff of gunpowder rising.

"One more shot!" Wang Chengzhu shouted loudly.

"You loser, how expensive are the shells?" Li Yunlong said, "I have the meaning of a shot, pull the cannon back for me." ”

"Commander, you have to speak with your conscience." Wang Chengzhu said aggrievedly, "You just said that you fired two shots, and you only fired one shot, so what about another shot?" ”

"I said that?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Commander, you did say that." Zhao Gang smiled, "The big guys have heard it." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Okay, then one more shot, but only one more shot." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Chengzhu moved the shots to Zhu Yuan to find the target again.

When is artillery the happiest?

That's when the cannon is fired and the sound is heard.

After trying the cannon, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers to pull the cannon back to Yang Village.

For this new mountain artillery, Li Yunlong and the soldiers of the new regiment are very satisfied, if you describe it in two words, it is - very fragrant.

And what's even cooler is that there are enough 24 mountain artillery, and when fighting with the devils, the 2 mountain artillery battalions will first wash the ground with a wave of artillery fire for the devils, which feels like nothing to talk about.

After such a round trip to the back mountain to test the artillery, the soldiers of the artillery company were almost ready to assemble the mountain artillery, and only the last few mountain cannons were left unassembled.

A 75-millimeter mountain cannon is neatly placed on the Yangcun barn field, which looks very spectacular.

Retracting his gaze from the mountain artillery, Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, our entire Eighth Route Army only has one artillery regiment, and it is not appropriate for us to equip one regiment of artillery with one regiment of artillery." ”

"What's inappropriate?" Li Yunlong said, "I think it's very suitable, our new regiment is the trump card of the Eighth Route Army, and it is reasonable for an ace regiment to equip an artillery regiment, right?" ”

"What's the use of you telling me?" Zhao Gang said, "You have the ability, you can tell the brigade commander about this?" ”

Li Yunlong was silent, if he really said this in front of the brigade commander, the brigade commander was not allowed to whip him?

Zhao Gang said: "The matter of our new regiment entering the storage of two mountain artillery battalions, it is estimated that the brigade commander will soon know, my suggestion is that instead of being passively beaten by the brigade commander, it is better to take the initiative to hand over a mountain artillery battalion, and take this opportunity to apply to the superiors for the establishment of an artillery battalion for our new regiment, and the superiors should not refuse." ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Li Yunlong said, "Hand over a mountain artillery battalion to the brigade headquarters." ”

"That's right." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "I'll let the logistics department's transport team prepare and prepare, and I'll do the matter of transporting the mountain artillery battalion and applying for the establishment of the artillery battalion." ”

"It just so happens that I am also going to hand over the report on this battle to the brigade headquarters."

Li Yunlong said: "I handed over a mountain artillery battalion, and an artillery battalion sent me away?" ”

"When you Lao Zhao goes to the brigade headquarters, he must come back empty-handed, so I will go in person this time."

"A mountain artillery battalion with 12 mountain guns and 2,400 shells, the brigade commander must invite me to drink!"

"Okay, then you can go, I'm too lazy to run." Zhao Gang knew that if he was so active on this dog day, he must have to show off to the brigade commander.

At the headquarters of the 386 Brigade.

Today, the brigade commander summoned Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Zhang Xianyong to the brigade headquarters for a summary meeting.

Zhang Xianyong is the head of the New Third Regiment, and like Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, he came from the Fourth Front Army.

In this raid, the units of the 129th Division destroyed more than 100 kilometers of railways.

Because the 386th Brigade was equipped with infantry artillery, more than 10 strongholds on the more than 30-kilometer railway line from Quandian to Duanliu were uprooted.

In addition to the new regiment, the 386 Brigade has a total of 5 infantry guns, of which the artillery battalion directly under the brigade commander is equipped with 3 guns, and the two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie each have 1 gun.

The strongholds that were eliminated this time were all to shoot directly at the devil's turret and pillbox with infantry guns, knock them out, and then charge to solve the battle.

Cheng Shifa saw that Ding Wei's new second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment each had 1 infantry gun, and his eyes were red, and he wanted to find the brigade commander to pull out 1 gun for the 772nd regiment, but the brigade commander scolded him for being bloody.

After some summary and discussion, the final brigade commander said:

"The Japanese army built the Baijin Railway in order to use modern equipment and superior forces to continuously sweep the base area in the southeast of Jinjin."

"If the Japanese army had not built the Baijin Railway, then the Japanese army's agile movement deep into our hinterland and the distant supply of logistics would have become empty talk."

"Airplanes, armored vehicles, artillery, machine guns, all modern equipment has become a dead thing."

"Not to mention the sweep of the internal and external attacks in the southeast of Jin."

"In this regard, our comrades must have a full understanding of this, and the reason for the attack on the Baijin Railway is also here."

"If there's nothing else to do, then adjourn."

"By the way, after going back, each regiment must do a good job of summarizing the battle, this Baijin Railway Breaking Battle is just a small test, we will definitely have a bigger battle in the future."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Afterwards, several people got up and walked out, and it was a rule to come to the brigade headquarters to ignore food, and they didn't have the cheekiness to eat.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie hooked their shoulders and talked about how good the infantry gun in their regiment was.

Cheng Shifa and Zhang Xianyong are not good at being sour in the back.

"Brigadier Commander, Brigadier Commander, I see you here again."

A few people were walking outside, and Li Yunlong's loud voice spread throughout the entire brigade headquarters.

At this time, his convoy was still a kilometer away, but the road near the brigade headquarters was easy to walk, and it would not take long to get there.

Ding Wei said: "Why does it sound like Li Yunlong's voice?" ”

Kong Jie said: "Who else can be so loud if it's not this dog day?" ”

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked overjoyed and hurried out.

Li Yunlong turned over and dismounted, and when he saw Ding Wei and Kong Jie coming out, he immediately smiled and said, "Haha... Lao Ding and Lao Kong, are you also there? ”

"And Lao Cheng and Lao Zhang, you are also there?"

When a few old comrades-in-arms met, there was inevitably a burst of chatter.

The brigade commander walked out and coughed, and Li Yunlong hurriedly straightened up: "Brigade commander!" ”

"Come in and talk." The brigade commander spoke softly and looked extremely satisfied.

Then he turned his head and instructed the guards: "Xiao Wang, go and take out the bag of Longjing that the division commander gave me, and take it out for Commander Li to soak." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Wang hurriedly turned around and walked towards the brigade commander's house.

"Brigade commander, I can't help it, how can I be kind to the tea that the division commander gave you?" Li Yunlong was a little flattered and hurriedly said.

"What's not to do?" The brigade commander said, "If you think it tastes good, take the tea back." ”

"Brigade commander, you can keep the Longjing tea and drink it, if you invite me to drink, then I will reluctantly accept it."

Seeing that the brigade commander was so polite today, Li Yunlong's courage became bigger again.

"You're going to have to go in for a shit day?" The brigade commander scolded with a smile, "Since you came to the brigade headquarters today, then I will give you enough wine and meat." ”

Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa's eyes were about to fall.

What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Yunlong pour into the brigade commander this doggy day, and the brigade commander was so good to him?

They only had boiled water for half a day when they came to the brigade headquarters, and Li Yunlong had enough wine and meat as soon as he came.

"Brigadier Commander, I also want to drink wine and eat meat." Ding Wei said.

"Yes, Brigadier." Cheng Shifa said, "Why does he Li Yunlong drink wine and eat meat, and we drink cold and white?" ”

Kong Jie and Zhou Xianyong didn't dare to speak.

The brigade commander said: "Just rely on Li Yunlong to lead a new regiment to eat the Japanese tank wing, I don't have high requirements for you, as long as you can eat a Japanese brigade, come to me to manage enough wine and meat, I will cook for you personally, pour wine personally, if you can't do it, not to mention that the wine and meat are cold and white." ”

"Kill the Japanese tank wing?" Kong Jie hurriedly asked, "Lao Li, is this true?" ”

Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa were also full of incredulity.

"Harm, the Japanese tank wing is not worth mentioning, it is not worth mentioning." Li Yunlong waved his hand, but his expression was a little proud.

Several old comrades-in-arms know that Li Yunlong likes to brag, and he likes to pretend not to care when bragging.

However, these words came out of the mouth of the brigade commander, so it must be true, after all, with the brigade commander's intelligence work is so powerful, it is impossible to want the brigade commander.

After realizing that this was the real thing, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes changed when they looked at Li Yunlong, and they were awesome.

Li Yunlong said: "Brigade commander, I didn't ask you to invite me to drink because I killed the Japanese tank wing. ”

"Not because of that?" The brigade commander looked moved and asked, "Then why are you?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Because I came to the brigade headquarters today to give you a gift." ”

"What gift?"

Hehe, with a smile, Li Yunlong said: "12 American 75mm mountain guns, 2,400 rounds of 75mm shells, another 3,000 rounds of 37mm shells, and 3,000 rounds of 47mm shells." ”

"My goodness!" Cheng Shifa was shocked, "Li Yunlong, you kid got rich?" ”

Kong Jie lost his voice and said, "Lao Li, you are so generous!" ”

Ding Weitong shrank his God, 1 mountain artillery battalion, 8,400 shells!" ”

"Brigadier Commander!" Zhou Xianyong also said, "Now you are rich!" ”

"And what about the cannons and shells you brought? You kid won't fire a cannon here, will you? "The brigade commander has seen the big scene, and he is quite calm, but his tone is gradually rising.

Because he knows that although Li Yunlong has a lot of fancy intestines, he will not joke about this kind of thing.

Maybe... He really got 1 mountain artillery battalion.

The brigade commander had already analyzed the pattern, and every time the new regiment won a battle, Li Yunlong would receive a batch of assistance from the mysterious patriot surnamed Chen.

This time, a Japanese tank wing was completely annihilated, and the amount of aid received was probably more than any previous one.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han and Chief of Staff, who were in the brigade headquarters room, also hurried out when they heard the sound.

At this time, several neighing of war horses sounded outside the door.

"Hahaha..."Li Yunlong smiled very much, "My convoy has arrived, brigade commander, please, take a look at your mountain artillery battalion." ”

Looking at Li Yunlong's gesture of invitation, the brigade commander squinted his eyes and walked out, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Cheng Shifa, Zhang Xianyong, Deputy Brigade Commander Han and Chief of Staff hurriedly followed.

At this time, part of Li Yunlong's transport had already arrived, except for some military horses carrying ammunition boxes, 12 mules pulling 12 cannons, lined up in the open space in front of the brigade headquarters.

Hearing this, all the cadres and fighters of the brigade headquarters ran out to watch.

Li Yunlong patted the big, hard and black barrel, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his tone was triumphant: "Brigade commander, is this worth it for you to invite me to drink?" ”
