In addition to the three scientific research options of "Paratrooper I", "Fuel Refining No. 1" and "Industrial Prototype", the remaining two scientific research troughs are allocated to the "Blond MLE1935 60mm Mortar" and the "Discrete Industrial Type 4".

Continuing to choose mortars is a wiser choice at the moment, after all, taking into account the mobility of the troops.

If you want to ask the soldiers on the front line, whether Miss 75 is good or strong, then the answer must be yes. She was fast and powerful, and such a weapon was unimaginable before.

But this cannon is in a somewhat awkward situation in the army, mainly because it is too heavy and not highly mobile, which does not match the style of play of the Eighth Route Army.

Due to the problem of the horse administration of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were forbidden to raise horses, which led to the destruction of the original horse production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Jianghuai provinces.

At the time of the war in 37, the national reserve of military horses was only 100,000, and the quality was not good. Basically, Mongolian horses and Ili horses are the mainstay, and there are no heavy pull horses.

The general regimental troops of the Eighth Route Army simply did not have enough horses to drag Miss 75.

Moreover, the road conditions in Jin Province are not very good, and even if the trucks are used to point out the slots of decision-making and scientific research, they are of limited use before the large-scale road construction.

For all these reasons, the easiest and most realistic way to increase the firepower of the troops is to equip them with mortars in large quantities.

With an excess number of mortars, plus a small number of barrel guns and the air force, the four masters and the eight masters can completely suppress the devils from a certain distance.

Although the range of the mortar is closer, the power is definitely enough in terms of quantity.

Small and medium-sized calibers can be carried by people, and large calibers can be carried by horses, which is the simplest sports war artifact.

In the plan of the Yellow River, he plans to strive to equip each infantry platoon of the main regiment of the fourth and eighth masters with three 50-mm mortars by March next year.

The difficulty of this plan is relatively low, after all, 50 forced can be regarded as a single weapon, and proficiency can be fed with cannonballs.

After unlocking the 60mm mortar, it is lowered to the company level. An artillery battery was to carry at least 6 60 guns, and the rest of the artillery was determined depending on the future mobility of the troops.

The same task for next year is planned to be implemented in the first half of the year.

The 81-mm mortar is used as a battalion weapon, and this caliber already requires many people to serve, and there are also requirements for artillery technology.

120 mm can only be at the level of the main regiment or brigade, so that the troops of an infantry division of the Eighth Route Army will have a large number of mortars of various calibers.

Coupled with some body cannons and aircraft, such firepower will not suffer a loss in a fight with a B division.

"Discrete Industry Type 4: Disguise the factory as another operation to avoid the risk of direct attack"

In the fourth stage, there are no new bonuses, and the attributes are still stacked again.

But the reason why Huang He chose this scientific research has changed, from the previous to reduce the possibility of being discovered and bombed by the devil's army aviation, and now it is all about increasing the production capacity of the factories in the system.

————

Let us temporarily draw our attention back to the base area in the southeast of Shanxi, and after the telegram was sent by the headquarters, Grand Master Li returned to the new second regiment without stopping.

The first stage of paratrooper selection has ended, and as the first experimental special unit in the whole army, he, the regiment commander, must keep an eye on the progress of the training.

But as soon as the front foot arrived at the station, a messenger from the brigade headquarters came on the back foot.

Originally, I thought that it was my fellow countryman who returned the news, but who knew that it was the brigade commander who informed the new second regiment to prepare to receive friendly troops.

Seeing that his head of the regiment had a gloomy face, Zhao Gang came over with a curious look on his face to inquire about the situation.

"What's wrong? Is it that Lao Huang's side is not going well? Why did your face become so bad when the correspondent came? ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong directly handed the paper in his hand to the other party, and then scolded and said:

"You should know the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, the regiment commander Chu Yunfei is going to take the chief of staff Fang Ligong to visit our new second regiment."

"I wondered, everyone else is visiting the main force of our Eighth Route Army. Why did anyone come to see the basic group? Could it be that our Lao Li's charm is already big enough to attract men? ”

After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the devil was beaten back to the city by the Eighth Route Army to lick his wounds.

The current situation in Jin Province made Yan Laoxi even more convinced that his choice was correct. In order to mend the relationship between his side and the Eighth Route Army, he sent his senior commanders to exchange combat experience.

By the way, this wave of operations can also spy on the real strength of the other party, and strive to know oneself and the other to pave the way for the future.

Obviously, Zhao Gang was used to Li Yunlong's, so he directly ignored the complaining part, touched the stubble on his chin and began to analyze.

"Our regiment has not been established for a long time, and we have not had any contact with Jin Suijun, and the other party may really come for you."

"I looked at Ling's file before taking office, and Cangyunling was not far from the defense area of the 358th Regiment at that time. Maybe Chu Yunfei observed that battle from a distance and became interested in you. ”

As soon as the place name Cangyunling was mentioned, Grand Master Li came to the spirit. It's not that he is dissatisfied with the punishment, he is not the old man he used to be, and he naturally understands all things about discipline.

The main reason is that Lao Li didn't know that there were other people near the battlefield at that time, and the other party's behavior made him very dissatisfied.

"It's really difficult for friendly troops to move like a mountain, the situation of the new regiment at that time was very dangerous, if it weren't for the artillery support of the brigade commander, it is estimated that the number of casualties would definitely not be small."

"Taiyuan is gone, and Jin Suijun is still the same cowardice as before. It's disgusting to play in the nest in secret. ”

As the person who knew Li Yunlong best, Zhao Gang knew at once that the other party must have remembered the traitor surnamed Zhang, so he shook his head helplessly and said:

"Okay, we are not all the way to Jin Suijun. But at this stage, it is still a friendly army, and we will talk about it after the devil is defeated in the future. ”

"I'll go to the training ground to arrange it first, and the brigade commander explained in the letter, asking us to pay attention to the secrecy of the airborne troops. Chu Yunfei is from the fifth phase of Huangpu, and it is very likely that he is a knowledgeable person. ”

————

While Li and Zhao were talking, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong took their guards and gradually approached the defense area of the New Second Regiment under the escort of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

"Let's wait where we are, the next batch of receiving troops is coming soon. There will be no devils in this radius of dozens of miles, and it is very safe. ”

It was a veteran of the 772nd Regiment who spoke, who jumped off his horse and did a few chest expansion exercises to stretch his muscles.

Fang Ligong bowed his head and looked at the looming village in the distance.

"Okay."

Although the Eighth Route Army became stronger, the troops were still stationed in the mountain villages. The whole is almost integrated into the village, as long as the opposing soldiers come out for training without wearing military uniforms, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out.

This was their last stop, and the two of them came to visit two main regiments, two backbone regiments and a local unit along the way.

Since the Jin Sui army came with good intentions on the surface this time, the deputy commander-in-chief did not let the troops hide, not to mention that the battle of the hundred regiments had already exposed most of its strength.

After a few days of visiting, all the commanders of the Jin Sui Army reached a consensus.

They believed that the Eighth Route Army was not weaker than the 37-year-old Jinsui Army or the Central Army in terms of infantry equipment, soldier quality, and troop morale, and the only shortcoming was the lack of artillery.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party has hidden a hand.

Five minutes later, a platoon of fighters arrived on bicycles. After all, it's a nominally friendly army, and if something happens to your own territory, you'll be in trouble.

After handing over to the escort troops of the 772nd Regiment, the soldiers immediately took Chu Feiyun and Fang Ligong to the regiment headquarters.

Looking at the dozens of 28 bars around him, Fang Ligong's face became more and more ugly. He shook the whip in his hand, came to a position parallel to his own regimental commander, and said in a low voice:

"Tuanza! It's this bike again. I have carefully observed it in the past few days, whether it is the model or the style, it is very unfamiliar, it is definitely produced by the Eighth Route Army itself! ”

"The same goes for winter clothes, and they couldn't even guarantee the number of cotton clothes before. Now every soldier has a new coat, and the appearance alone shows that it is made of materials. ”

"The cotton may have come from the border, after all, they had a good relationship before, which can barely be explained. But the bike is too much! Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also developed migrant workers? ”

To be able to become the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Fang Ligong's vision is certainly not bad. What's more, he is also an excellent graduate of the Shanxi Military Academy, and his knowledge is very wide.

Originally, everyone just guessed that the Eighth Route Army had improved in light weapons, but what they had seen and heard in the past few days almost refreshed their cognition.

While fighting at a high intensity, the other side still has the spare capacity to produce civilian products.

Once the Eighth Route Army opened up the right to purchase these things to the local people, it would be difficult for the Jin Sui Army to gain the upper hand in influence.

Hearing his chief of staff's words, Chu Yunfei also nodded. After all, this visit has a mission, and he has been secretly observing all the way.

"Yes, it's really the same as what Chief Yan said. Bicycles are not just civilian products, a soldier, a car, and a mortar must be very powerful. ”

"And the other party's weapons and equipment are also new, the 772 regiment that entertained the two of us yesterday, if I fight with others, I may not be confident that I can win!"

As the future main force of Yan Laoxi's internal determination, the number of the 358th Regiment has reached 4,000 people, and it can be reorganized into a division at any time.

In the original formation plan, Chu Yunfei would have an artillery battalion under him, equipped with all American-made mountain artillery. However, the current procurement progress is only half complete, after all, transportation is a big problem.

After the loss of Taiyuan, the Jin Sui army lost the arsenal on which it depended, and the days were really worse day by day.

Even the degree of food and clothing has dropped by several grades, and now that the previous Tubalu life is so good, how can he not be shocked.

Fang Ligong didn't know that his regiment was telling the truth, and he even borrowed a MAS-36 to shoot more than a dozen bullets at the shooting range.

But the silky bolt and the near-human semi-automatic rate of fire still make him still have palpitations.

"Yes, we've dealt with that 772 regiment before. A year ago, it was mainly Japanese-style weapons, but now the whole regiment has been replaced with brand-new French-style weapons. ”

What was the configuration of the Eighth Route Army before? Weapons and equipment are scarce and of very poor quality, and the troops as a whole are mainly backward and inferior firearms, and the per capita ammunition is still pitiful.

The old sleeve and Hanyang-made are rare things, and this person can't get a single each.

The mixed use of all kinds of bullets can be called an international arms exhibition, and it is definitely a level of logistics ghosts.

What is the configuration of the Eighth Route Army now, and in just one year, the light weapons have been replaced. The main regiment has a full set of weapons, rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns.

Of the two basic regiments they visited, the independent regiment was ninety percent magical, and only a very small number of recruits used Japanese-style weapons.

The most outrageous thing is the so-called local armed forces, Fang Ligong saw several soldiers with his own eyes, and he was very disgusted with the 38 big covers and crooked handles captured from the devils.

They even have a few Czech light machine guns in good condition, which are really rich.

If it weren't for the fact that during the visit, the two also saw a lot of shell guns, and they couldn't find a trace of the previous shadow of the Eighth Route Army.

After the estimation of the two, judging by the firepower configuration of most of the backbone regiments. As long as the tactics are proper and the command is reasonable, it is completely possible to kill a devil brigade.

After all, the level of the opponent's ambush warfare is obvious to all in the country.

Chu Yunfei held the whip in his hand tightly, he looked back at the station of the 772nd regiment, and said with a solemn expression:

"It's all good things, no wonder you can fight back and forth with the first army of devils. And the situation of those troops is much better than we expected. ”

"Originally, we speculated that the average quality of the soldiers would definitely decline if it was expanded to 105 regiments in a short period of time. Now it seems that after a major war, the work of training troops has also begun. ”

"But it's okay, it's all the arms of our Chinese. If a few more devils die, the common people will be less persecuted. ”

As soon as he said this, Fang Ligong was a little anxious.

As a loyal minister of the Jin family, he now thinks that compared with the devils, the former is the big trouble in the future. After all, the strength of that group of people is expanding rapidly, and there is a vague skyrocketing posture.

"Hey, it seems that Chief Yan is a little idealistic. It is really difficult to make the Eighth Route Army and the First Army of the devil lose both. ”

"When the devil is driven out of the province, I'm afraid it is..."

Chu Yunfei signaled to the other party not to continue, and naturally he had to be cautious in his words and deeds in other people's territory.

"It's impossible to say what will happen in the future, it's a game of the chiefs. But we are now friendly forces with common enemies. If the devil doesn't die for a day, I feel ashamed of my clothes. ”

"The changes in the Eighth Route Army are very great, and it is the devils who should be uncomfortable, not us. According to Chief Yan's thoughts, only by cleaning up the devils can it be possible to regain the lost territory. ”

After a journey of more than ten minutes, the group came to the regimental headquarters of the new second regiment. Staring at the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, Fang Ligong's whole person turned red with jealousy.

"Tuanza, don't forget to test the matter of the military factory."

"The previous captains of the Eighth Route Army were tight-lipped, and I heard that this Li Yunlong is a mud leg. Not only does he have no culture and likes to brag, but he is often punished for getting into trouble, which is a good breakthrough. ”

Chu Yunfei nodded, his thoughts were similar to those of his own chief of staff.

"Okay, I just hope that the other party's political commissar won't be too difficult."

Do you want to guess when I'm going to put the bike troops out of the field?
