Chapter 603: Receiving (Part II)!
With a caliber of 203 mm and a weight of 16 tons, this is a heavy gun in the true sense of the word.
Like the 150-mm howitzer equipped with the new regiment, although in the Asian theater, it can be called a heavy artillery.
Just like the Leopard tank in the Asian theater, it can dominate and is called a heavy tank.
The 150-mm howitzer in the German army was nothing more than a divisional artillery weapon.
And the B4 howitzer, even in the USSR, was an artillery cannon equipped with artillery units directly under the army group or the front.
During the Soviet-Finnish War, Marshal Timoshenko, the second commander of the Northwest Front of the Soviet Union, the artillery they carried at that time could not destroy the various firing points built by Finland with high-standard cement.
In order to deal with the Mannerheim Line, which had been pre-built by the Finnish army, Timoshenko applied to his loving father for the transfer of B4 heavy howitzers.
In the beginning, the B4 heavy howitzer was not reused, and it was only after this battle that this cannon was really taken seriously.
Therefore, even in such a large country as the USSR, the B4 heavy howitzer is an absolutely strategic weapon.
And this B4 heavy howitzer is definitely a big killer in the European theater.
As for its weight.
Li Yunlong didn't care much about it, and the power was over.
This is a real heavy howitzer, how can this thing be so easy to transport as a small-caliber gun?
This kind of cannon is used to fight the enemy's steel mixed with your bunkers, and it is only used in big battles.
Besides, this thing has tracks, and each gun is also equipped with 2 tracked tractors, which is already considered to be transported compared to heavy cannons of the same level.
Take the Japanese army's 240-mm heavy cannon as an example, the whole gun had to be transported by train, and it had to be disassembled and transported on the road, which was very troublesome.
I want to be powerful, I want to be easy to transport, and I want to have high output and low cost.
Want to eat fart?
"What a cannon!"
Ding Wei's eyes widened.
Although this cannon belonged to Li Yunlong and the new regiment, it was always to enhance the strength of the Eighth Route Army.
And now the new second regiment and the independent regiment are all partners of Li Yunlong, and it should only be a matter of time before they are also equipped with this father's hammer heavy artillery in the future.
Kong Jie is also the boss with his eyes open, and his eyeballs are about to fall off:
"Lao Li, pull it out and shoot two shots to try the power?"
With this thing, the thickened steel bars and turrets built by the devils around Taiyuan are all useless.
The only drawback may be that there are too few B4 heavy howitzers, only 8 in total, 4 each for the headquarters and the new regiment.
"Not yet!"
Li Yunlong stared at the 4 heavy howitzers with fiery eyes, and shook his head:
"I still have to wait for the artillerymen to train for three or five days, if it can be used directly just after delivery, Brother Chen has already arranged for door-to-door delivery, and still need to wait until now?"
If the artillery can operate it skillfully directly, then the battle of attacking the 10th Division will be much easier to fight.
A cannon and a devil thicken the bunker or turret, it's not too cool.
Kong Jie nodded: "That's right, this thing doesn't look simple, it's not easy to start it, and the artillery must be familiar and trained first." ”
Ding Wei instigated: "Lao Li, now that you have this Father's Hammer heavy howitzer, do you want to test the water in Taiyuan?" It's okay not to fight Taiyuan and Datong, anyway, Lao Kong and I have had time recently, just to observe the combat effectiveness of your new regiment. ”
"Forget it!" Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Our new regiment has just finished fighting with the 10th Division, and the troops urgently need to rest and replenish, don't be in a hurry to fight Taiyuan and Datong, and go to the highway in a few days to find a thickened pillbox and turret to try its power!" ”
The power of this cannon must be extraordinary, but how big it is, Li Yunlong still wants to see it with his own eyes.
Of course, Li Yunlong wants to fight Taiyuan or Datong, but now is not the time.
Although this battle allowed the devils to enter the base, in terms of business, they gained a lot of money.
After defeating the 10th Division, the new regiment received a total of 2,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 2,000 tons of food, and the three regiments earned a total of more than 40,000 tons of food.
Although the three regiments combined suffered more than 15,000 casualties, the Japanese puppet army suffered more than 60,000 casualties, and this deal was very cost-effective.
Next, Chen Feng discussed the details of the specific receipt with Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and then said goodbye and left.
However, Yan Shuangying was temporarily left in the new regiment by Chen Feng, as an artillery instructor, instructing the artillery of the new regiment how to operate and use this B4 heavy howitzer.
Yan Shuangying's mind has been systematically instilled with all the information, operation skills and teaching skills about the cannons of this era.
The current Yan Shuangying is an experienced gunner who knows how to use almost all the cannons of this era.
……
About two hours later.
Southeast of Jin.
Yang Village.
Today is also the day when the headquarters receives the goods, and the place of receipt is at Yangcun Airport.
Although the headquarters of the new regiment was stationed from Yang Village in the southeast of Jin Province to Zhaojiayu Village in the northwest of Jin Province.
However, the current Yangcun is still one of the most important villages of the 129th Division, and now the special mission directly under the headquarters is stationed in Yangcun and Yangcun Airport, and almost all of the current southeast of Shanxi is the territory of the Eighth Route Army, not only Yangcun, but also many villages are connected to the county seat.
Since two days ago, the special service group stationed in Yangcun and Yangcun Airport has been on alert.
The people of Yang Village have already moved away, and those who usually walk around the village, wearing ordinary people's clothes, are all soldiers of the special service group.
On the rugged road, three jeeps and five Jiefang trucks drove in the direction of Yangcun, and each Jiefang truck was loaded with soldiers from the headquarters guard battalion with loaded guns, all of whom had submachine guns hanging on their chests.
After approaching Yangcun, the eight cars turned around and drove in the direction of Yangcun Airport.
When they arrived at Yangcun Airport, eight cars stopped one after another, and then the heads of the headquarters all stepped out of the cars.
The chief, chief of staff, division commander, brigade commander and other leaders all came, and the commander of the special service regiment hurriedly ran over to salute when he saw this.
The brigade commander is now the commander of the Taiyue Military Region and the commander of the 386 Brigade, and this time after returning from Yangquan to lead the troops, he went to the headquarters for a meeting, and happened to hear that the head of the headquarters was coming to the airport to personally watch the receipt, so he came over to have a look.
"Chief, chief of staff, division commander, what kind of weapon did Li Yunlong's kid hand over this time?"
"Is it worth your three Buddhas to come to the airport in person?"
The brigade commander in a black leather jacket became more and more surprised in his expression and tone.
Since the new regiment has now become a unit directly under the headquarters, there is no longer a need to copy the 386 brigade to the telegram exchange with the headquarters.
Therefore, although the brigade commander knew about the new regiment being equipped with tanks, he did not know about the B4 heavy howitzers, which was top secret at the headquarters.
Of course, with the level of a brigade commander, he must be qualified to know, but the chief, chief of staff, and division commander deliberately sold out this time.
I won't tell him.
Sure enough, the brigade commander couldn't help but ask again and again.
Seeing that the three big chiefs were smiling and silent, the brigade commander laughed and said, "Isn't it just a tank, and it's mysterious." ”
Then, the brigade commander walked quickly to the chief's side and said, "Chief, the weather is good today. ”
Chief: "Huh? ”
The brigade commander coughed lightly: "Wait for the tank to arrive, what, chief...... Do you see if you can divide a dozen of our 386 brigades? ”
"Boy, as soon as you open your mouth, there are more than a dozen tanks." The chief smiled and asked, "Aren't you 386 Brigade a tank company?" ”
"Hey!" The brigade commander said, "My tank company is just some Douding tanks, how can it be compared with Li Yunlong's heavy tanks?" ”
The division commander smiled: "As soon as you speak, there are more than a dozen tanks, which is quite beautiful, I, who is the division commander, do not have a tank directly under the unit, why do you want to make a tank battalion?" ”
The brigade commander hurriedly said: "Division commander, isn't my tank battalion your tank battalion?" Can you help me tell the chief and the chief of staff about allocating a tank company to our 386 brigade? ”
Although the 386th Brigade was allocated a tank company, there were only 2 tank companies, but the 2 tank companies could also be organized into a simplified version of the tank battalion.
To the surprise of the brigade commander and division commander, the chief said: "If the division commander doesn't mind, I can allocate a tank company to your 386 brigade." ”
"Oh?" The division commander and brigade commander were stunned.
The chief of staff smiled and said: "That's the case, this time Li Yunlong handed over a total of 32 conventional tanks and 13 Spitfire tanks. ”
"Spitfire?"
The division commander and the brigade commander were stunned again.
The Spitfire tanks of the new regiment were exchanged for 150-mm howitzers during the battle, and at that time the division commander and brigade commander were leading a large force to Taiyuan and Yangquan, so they did not know about it.
"That's right, it's a Spitfire, it seems to be called a Satan Spitfire."
The chief of staff nodded: "Isn't there 32 tanks in a tank battalion, including 22 Leopard tanks, 10 Xiafei tanks, and now there are 13 more Spitfire tanks, for a total of 45 tanks." ”
"The headquarters was originally going to mix these 45 tanks and organize them into four tank companies to form a reinforced tank battalion, each tank company is about five Leopards, three Xiafei and four Spitfires."
"Later, after the study of the headquarters, it was decided to assign a tank company to the 129th Division as a tank company directly under the division."
When the division commander heard this, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly said, "Of course I mind!" ”
Then, the division commander looked at the brigade commander and said with a smile: "You kid now has a tank company, just use that tank company, and this tank company will belong to the division headquarters." ”
The brigade commander couldn't help but sigh, he had already known that he would hand over the tank company to the division headquarters.
He heard that the new regiment of Leopard tanks performed well on the battlefield in Xinzhou, and a Leopard tank could beat more than a dozen Douding tanks.
At this moment, the sound of "da-da" sounded faintly in everyone's ears, and everyone hurriedly raised their binoculars to look.
