Chapter 600: How powerful is this cannon?

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The price of killing a Japs in the Class A Division is twice as much as the price of killing a Japs in the Second Line Division?

Everyone's eyes were hot.

Killing a Japs from the Type A Division means 4 tons of coarse grains, which is 8,000 kilograms of coarse grains. This price is very cost-effective.

With the current equipment level and combat effectiveness of the new regiment, with the same number, it can completely overwhelm the Japanese Army's Class A divisions.

"This is a good deal!" Ding Wei nodded and asked in a happy tone, "Ding would like to take the liberty to ask, Boss Chen, how much food you have there."

Chen Feng smiled faintly: "I have more food than you think. Even if you kill all the Japanese troops in China and want to exchange them all for food, I can still afford the price."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

There are at least millions of Japanese troops in China right now. Didn’t Boss Chen store millions of tons of grain?

But soon, everyone felt relieved.

At this moment, everyone narrowed their eyes and thought a lot. Behind Boss Chen, there must be some big country in the West, or even several big countries working together to support China.

Because the weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Chen include German products, Soviet products, and also beautiful domestic products.

However, since Boss Chen didn't want to say it clearly, they wouldn't ask any more questions.

Because knowing too much is of little benefit to them, as long as they can get weapons, ammunition and food.

Ding Wei took the abacus and started calculating again.

His academic qualifications are considered to be the highest among the Iron Triangle, which is about junior high school level. Li Yunlong attended a private school for two years in his early years, and later worked as a bamboo craftsman, and then participated in the revolution.

Kong Jie's academic qualifications are better than Li Yunlong's and worse than Ding Wei's, but Kong Jie is down-to-earth and studious.

Now Li Yunlong's cultural level is higher than that of Kong Jie, but in terms of arithmetic, he is still not as good as Ding Wei.

Of course, in terms of tactical command ability, Li Yunlong is much higher than Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Ding Wei clicked on the abacus, and Xing Zhiguo took a pen and paper and calculated.

The price of killing the Japs in the first-class division is twice that of killing the second-line division.

Then the price of severely damaging or completely annihilating the infantry regiment of an A-type division is twice that of the infantry regiment of a second-line division.

Due to the heavy damage to the 13th Japanese Tank Regiment, Li Yunlong wanted to replace it with a mountain cannon, and has already received the delivery.

Therefore, after severely damaging the number of two infantry regiments of two Category A divisions, plus the ambushes of the 6th and 7th battalions in the Baozi Mountain area and the killing of a heavy infantry brigade, the number of Japanese killed was 8,000.

Calculated based on the price of killing a Japs of the Type A Division, which is 2 tons of fine grains or 4 tons of coarse grains, that is 32,000 tons of grains.

Converted into kilograms, that would be 64 million kilograms of grain.

But Ding Wei's previous calculation was wrong because he also included the Japanese's wounded.

Based on the ratio of injuries to total casualties of 1:3, two-thirds of the Japs killed would be two-thirds.

Under normal circumstances, the number of wounded is several times more than the number of dead, but the situation of this battle is special. The Japanese army is the attacker, and the Eighth Route Army's firepower is too strong. Even if the Japanese are injured on the battlefield, it is difficult to treat them, so the Japanese

The number of dead was much higher than the number of injured.

After calculating this, Chen Feng had to pay the Eighth Route Army 107 million kilograms of coarse grains, which is about 42,700 tons of coarse grains.

Chen Feng expressed no objection and would pay according to this amount. However, a large airport needs to be built in the three bases of the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment for food transportation.

If one transport aircraft transports 10 tons, it would take 4,270 aircraft sorties to transport so much grain.

But if it is divided into several airports, the pressure will be much less.

When Kong Jie and Ding Wei heard this, not only could they not help but look happy, but they could not help but raise the corners of their mouths slightly.

By building an airport in the defense zone of their two regiments, not only will the food problem be solved, but also won't the two regiments have the opportunity to do business with Boss Chen?

"In addition, I will provide the materials for repairing the airport."

Chen Feng added another sentence, which made Ding Wei and Kong Jie's lips curl up even higher.

Chen Feng continued: "In the coming year, I will also be in the business of providing wheat, corn and other seeds and fertilizers. With my seeds and fertilizers, it will not be a problem to double or triple the grain output in your base area."

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

Double or triple food production?

If Nanniwan, Southeast Shanxi and Jizhong granaries all use Boss Chen's seeds and fertilizers, wouldn't the food problem in the Eighth Route Army base area be completely solved?

Everyone now has unconditional trust in Boss Chen.

Although in their hearts, everyone felt that fighting the Japanese was more cost-effective than farming.

But it’s impossible for so many people to go fight the Japanese, right? People still have to farm.

"If we have a bumper grain harvest in northwestern Shanxi next year, the Japs will definitely come to attack in a big way." Ding Wei said: "We have to think carefully about how to defend. Don't be like this year, when most of the food in the base area was ruined by the Japs."

Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said: "If the little devil dares to come next year, I will tell him to never come back."

Kong Jie said: "It's still early anyway, we can slowly think about the defensive issues."

"The best defense is offense." Li Yunlong said, "At the end of this year, I will attack Taiyuan and kill the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu. Then I will attack Peiping and kill Neji Okamura."

"If I give you a division, you dare to attack Taiyuan." Ding Wei said with a smile, "If I give you an army, if you dare to attack Peiping."

"Give me a group army." Li Yunlong slapped the table and said, "I dare to attack Tokyo."

Everyone laughed, even Chen Feng laughed.

Li Yunlong, a boy who brags, does not blush but his heart does not beat.

After eating for a while, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng and took the initiative to ask the question for Ding Wei and Kong Jie: "Consultant Chen, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and I are all brothers from the same class. We are all three.

It’s a life-and-death friendship, can you do business with them over there?”

Nowadays, the New Group is extremely rich, and Li Yunlong also wants to make the Independent Group and the New Group rich as well.

Although the current equipment of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment is better than that of Chiang Kai-shek's direct line divisions.

But compared with the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are still a bit shabby in terms of strength and equipment.

If Ding Wei's New Second Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment had half the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the New Regiment, then the enemy's losses would be much greater in this counter-mopping operation in northwestern Shanxi.

It is even possible that the Japanese will not be able to penetrate the base area at all.

Only when the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment become stronger will the base area in northwestern Shanxi become more stable.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at Chen Feng with expectations in their eyes.

If you can do business with Boss Chen, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment will have heavy artillery, tanks, and even aircraft, and you will be as rich as Li Yunlong!

"cannot!"

Chen Feng shook his head simply.

The expectant looks in Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes quickly dimmed.

However, Chen Feng's next words instantly ignited hope in the expressions of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"but……"

Chen Feng added: "Since Commander Ding and Commander Kong have a special relationship with Commander Li, you groups can cooperate in doing business. As for how to divide the business afterwards, you will discuss it yourself. I will only contact Commander Li."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes lit up slightly.

This is already very good. In the past, only during major battles, Ding Wei and Kong Jie could get some meat to eat, and usually they could only drink a little soup.

And you have to listen to Li Yunlong's instructions to eat some meat and drink soup.

But it's different now that they can cooperate. Kong Jie and Ding Wei can take the initiative to discover the fighter planes, and then ask Li Yunlong to send some troops to cooperate. Kong Jie and Ding Wei can take the lead, and Li Yunlong will follow suit.

Li Yunlong took the initiative to ask him two questions, and he would definitely agree to this plan.

After all, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are stronger, so the flanks of Li Yunlong's New Regiment are safer.

In addition, once the roads in the base areas of the three regiments are built, travel will be more convenient.

Li Yunlong nodded with a very satisfied expression: "I think Consultant Chen's approach is very good!"

Boss Chen's words showed that he only recognized Li Yunlong in the Eighth Route Army and gave Li Yunlong enough face in front of his old comrades.

Captain Li Da was naturally happy.

Ding Weidao: "Thank you very much, Consultant Chen!"

"Consultant Chen." Kong Jie also picked up the wine bowl and said, "I salute this bowl, and you can do whatever you want with me."

Then Ding Wei also toasted.

The expressions of the two of them were full of expectations for the future development of their two regiments. Just like Li Yunlong back then, they were full of energy.

"By the way." Ding Wei was a little drunk. He put down his wine bowl and ate another fried peanut. He looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Old Li, I just heard you say that the Hammer of the Loving Father is a new weapon.

?”

Ding Wei is naturally very sensitive to weapons.

I just heard from Li Yunlong that the price of wiping out a Japanese heavy artillery regiment was 26 fire-breathing tanks and 8 Father Hammers.

Ding Wei has never heard of what this Father's Hammer is.

Kong Jie on the side also took a sip of Fenjiu and looked at Li Yunlong.

Captain Li smiled slightly, looked at Xing Zhiguo and said, "Old Xing, go get the photo of Father's Hammer and show it to Lao Ding and Lao Kong."

"Hello!"

Xing Zhiguo stood up and walked to the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

After a while, Xing Zhiguo took out two photos and handed them to Kong Jie and Ding Wei respectively.

"What kind of cannon is this?" Ding Wei asked.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie picked it up and looked at it, and were stunned.

"Why does this gun have tracks? It doesn't look like a gun, and it doesn't look like a tank." Kong Jie also said, "But when I saw it, I knew that this thing was quite powerful."

"Hehehehe..." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Don't you recognize it? This gun is called the Father's Hammer heavy howitzer. It weighs 16 tons in total and has a caliber of 203 mm."

"203mm heavy howitzer?" Ding Wei suddenly exclaimed.

"It weighs 16 tons!?" Kong Jie was also surprised, "No wonder it has to be equipped with crawler tracks, the rubber tires can't bear this weight at all!"

"How powerful is this cannon?" Ding Wei asked again.

"How powerful?" Li Yunlong stared, his tone arrogant, "I'll scare you if I tell you, then the Japanese will build those thickened bunkers and turrets, one at a time."

"There is no problem with the fortress used to fight the Japanese." Chen Feng also added.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes suddenly became hot and their breathing became rapid.
