175, the First Army stationed in Shanxi came out of the basket again
Upgrade!
Hurry up and upgrade!
Upgrade all tanks to German Tank IV!
It doesn't matter how much it costs!
Smashing pots and selling iron also has to be upgraded!
If there are a hundred No. 4 tanks, he can sweep through Taiyuan!
However......
"Sorry, the upgrade conditions have not been met......"
"You need to occupy a large city in order to get enough industrial base, as well as enough raw materials. to continue to upgrade ......"
"Large cities refer to Taiyuan, Beiping, Shenyang, Shanghai, Nanjing and other ......"
The system sent another prompt.
Zhang Chu: ......
Speechless.
Disappointed.
Capture a large city......
Just kidding!
How can it be.
With the current strength of the new regiment, occupy Taiyuan?
Occupy Beiping?
Laugh at it!
"In addition, you have to master an oil field to get enough fuel to replenish ......"
"Tips: The nearest oil field is near Dongying......"
"Tips: You can also occupy the Daqing Oilfield......"
The system sent another prompt.
Zhang Chu: ......
Depressed.
And the oil field!
Where is Dongying?
108,000 miles away from yourself! You can't fly even if you can't fly!
As for the Daqing oil field......
That's the Kwantung Army's sphere of influence!
700,000 Kwantung Army!
All of them are elite!
"If you want to upgrade your large-caliber heavy artillery (over 100 mm), you also need to capture a large city......"
The system prompts again.
Zhang Chu: ......
Got it.
Needless to say. I can't do it anyway.
It's too realistic, too.
Upgrades cannot be made without an industrial base. It's terrible.
It seems that the 75mm field gun is the configuration of the sky. Alas, how to capture large cities without large-caliber heavy artillery......
System: You'll have to capture large cities before you can upgrade your artillery!
Zhang Chu: Without heavy artillery, how can you occupy a large city?
System: You have to take a large city first!
Zhang Chu: I have to have heavy artillery first!
System: You have to capture large cities first......
Zhang Chu: ......
it, it's an endless loop.
"If you want to upgrade your planes, you have to capture a large city......"
The system prompts again.
Zhang Chu: ......
Okay, got it. I'm dead.
Planes, tanks, heavy artillery, etc., don't even think about it.
The 75mm field gun is its ultimate weapon......
"Ding!"
"You can upgrade the 20mm cannon ......"
Again, hints.
Zhang Chu was finally in good spirits.
Hey?
This can be there!
20 mm cannon. It can also be shot flat! Moreover, the power of flat fire is quite powerful.
Tanks used to fight devils are perfectly fine.
I don't know what about the bunker used to deal with the Japanese invaders? Hope is a weapon for demolition......
Start the upgrade now.
"There are multiple options for upgrading......
"First, the Surothong 20-mm machine gun ......"
"Second, the Bofors 20-mm machine gun ......"
"Thirdly, the Madsen 20-mm machine gun ......"
"Fourth, Erikon 20 mm machine gun ......"
"Fifth, the German-made Flak30 20mm machine gun ......"
"Sixth, the Italian Breda M35 20-mm machine gun ......"
Zhang Chu thought about it, and finally chose the Suluotong 20mm machine gun. This kind of thing is more suitable for Su Luotong.
It has a relatively large depression angle. Can be used to target Japanese bunkers more effectively.
"Upgrade successful!"
"The upgrade process costs 500,000 yuan."
A little expensive.
It's the equivalent of an infantry cannon.
However, what infantry artillery can't do, Surotong machine guns can do.
For example, if a Japanese plane arrives, it can go back to its old job. It was originally an anti-aircraft machine gun. The original purpose was to jerk off.
Upgrade twenty doors in one go.
A total of 10 million was spent.
However, it must be transported using mules and horses. Airdrops are not available.
"The mule team is busy......"
"You may have to wait 3-5 hours ......"
Info prompt arrived.
Zhang Chu turned a blind eye.
I have known for a long time that this is the result. Therefore, he is not in a hurry.
While waiting, he also had work to do.
It is to wipe out all the artillery of the Japanese invaders. So as not to be able to effectively deploy the Surothong machine gun.
Came to the artillery position.
Concentrate five mortars and control them yourself.
Careful recyclables radar to carefully identify various valuable targets in the city.
The first thing I noticed was a small crimson dot.
Needless to say, this must be the captain of the Japanese Army's Osaku garrison - Doi Mototake.
This guy is always on the move. It's almost never a time to stop. Moreover, the trajectory of movement is also rather weird.
It is speculated that it may have been moving inside an underground tunnel. So, not afraid of artillery fire.
However, the Japanese artillery could not do it.
It is impossible for the cannon to be placed underground.
Find a few small red dots.
It is speculated that it may have been a Japanese 90-mm mortar.
Good!
That's it!
Lock on to those red dots.
Concentrate five mortars to bombard together.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The shells were discharged in unison.
Eight shots shot in a hurry. 40 shells were fired in one go.
Then pause for a while.
Continue research on the recyclables radar.
I found those little red dots, three of which started to move, and three of them were stationary.
It should have been a hit.
There may have been three blown up. Unable to move.
But three more were not blown up. You can also run.
There is no hurry.
Wait until the Japanese stop talking.
The recyclables radar showed a radius of 10 kilometers, which was enough to completely envelop the county.
Adjust the mortar.
Shoot at the little red dot.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Shells are densely discharged.
Another eight rapid shots.
However, the crimson dot did not appear to be affected in any way. It's still moving on its own.
Unfortunately, it didn't blow up.
If he had been killed, he would have been lying on the ground and not moving.
It seems that the luck of this Japanese Kou Dazuo is good.
Continue to adjust the mortar.
Change to other goals.
Caught three more small red dots.
It was judged to be the 92 infantry gun of the Japanese invaders.
If you don't say it, keep banging.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Another eight rapid shots.
Successive cannon shots.
Finally, the little red dots didn't move.
Keep banging.
Still no movement.
Good!
It should have been blown up.
Sure enough, the Japanese artillery counterattack was greatly weakened.
For several minutes, not a single shell came out.
30 minutes ......
60 minutes......
The Japanese artillery did not move.
"Yaga!"
Mototake Doi, who received the report, was anxious and angry.
What?
Their own artillery was actually blown up completely?
Yaga!
Damn dirt hachiro!
Hurriedly sent someone to check! The situation is a mess!
Six 90-mm mortars were all blown up.
Only one of the six 70-mm infantry guns remained.
Finished......
Without artillery support, how could he hold out for ten days?
Relying solely on the Bunker......
Now, the only thing he can rely on is the Dark Castle......
Fortunately, hundreds of bunkers were built......
"Report!"
"What's the matter?"
"Staff Officer Zhang, someone is looking for you."
"Got it!"
Zhang Chu was overjoyed.
After looking forward to it for a long time, the convoy finally came!
Hurried over.
Sure enough, it turned out that it was the mule and horse convoy that had arrived. 20 Surothong machine guns were delivered.
Reception.
The tool man leaves.
Leave behind machine guns, and twenty mules.
"Zhang Chu, what is this?" Ding Wei asked curiously.
"Anti-aircraft guns." Zhang Chu replied, "I'm going to use it to fight the Japanese invaders." ”
"Will it work?"
"Try it!"
Zhang Chu didn't dare to pack tickets.
Hopefully it does.
But whether it will work or not, I will only know after trying.
Immediately summoned people to come over, pushed a Surothong machine gun to the front, and fired at close range.
The distance is about eight hundred meters.
Zhang Chu personally operated.
Aim.
Shoot.
"Tom ......"
"Tom tom!"
Cannonballs rained down on the bunker.
At least half of the shells hit the bunker accurately. But alas, it was not knocked out.
The Japanese Raider's bunker is still very strong. The damage of 20-mm shells is a little smaller. Very penetrating. The blast damage is a little worse. But that's okay, go ahead.
"Tom ......"
"Tom ......"
Continuous shooting.
The magazine was changed twice in between.
Finally, after a round of shooting, the bunker was destroyed.
However, the consumption of shells is also very large. Three rows of magazines were used. A total of 45 shells.
Frankly, a bit of a loser.
Because even though it is a 20-mm shell, the price is 50 yuan!
Field artillery shells with a caliber of 75 mm are also priced at 50 pieces!
Mortar shells with a caliber of 81 mm are also priced at 50 pieces!
I feel like I'm at a loss......
But......
You have to grit your teeth and persevere!
As long as you take the county seat, everything will be fine.
"Spread out!"
"Spread out!"
Ding Wei immediately arranged a combat group.
Each combat group operated one Surothong 20 mm cannon.
The target is the Japanese Castle.
Under the cover of field artillery and mortars, one by one, they smashed the hidden bunkers of the Japanese invaders.
Such efficiency is not high.
Sometimes, it takes an hour to knock down a bunker.
Because the movement of machine guns and the construction of positions also take time. In the middle, there are also Japanese gangsters who do everything possible to obstruct them.
However, with such an attack speed, Doi Mototake can't stand it anymore.
In just a few hours, more than a dozen bunkers were lost. How can Mototake Doi stand it?
"Yaga!"
"Request urgent tactical guidance!"
I had to ask my superiors for help.
The information finally came to Saburo Saito.
There's no way, who called the Fanxian garrison independent. Directly under the command of the First Army Command.
"Field artillery ......"
"Rapid-fire cannon ......"
Saburo Saito felt that the situation was not good, so he had to come to Yoshio Shinozuka.
Yoshio Shinozuka was silent for a long time.
"Let's send out the aviation!"
"Yes!"
Saburo Saito agreed.
The dispatch of aviation means that there is no way to keep secrets.
Because the aviation forces have their own special management structure, they will definitely report to Beiping and Nanjing.
According to the usual practice, every time the air force is dispatched, after returning, it must report to the director of the air force in the country. In other words, if the director of aviation is interested, he will also know about this place called Fanxian.
Since the director of the aviation unit knows it, then Beiping and Nanjing must also know it.
Yes, everybody knows.
Everyone knows that the First Army stationed in Shanxi is out of the basket again.
Not to mention that a Ping'an County has been conquered, and now Fanxian County is not guaranteed.
Fanxian, Fanxian!
I'm afraid it's going to be a nightmare for the Imperial Army again!
