Four rocket launchers blew up a medium-sized Japanese stronghold with just one salvo?
In the telescope field of view, everyone looked at the waste of Shimonoseki Stronghold in the distance with burning eyes.
Everyone knows that the Katyusha rocket launcher must be very powerful.
But I didn't expect that this firepower would be so terrifying.
In addition to its great power, more importantly, its rate of fire is also fast.
64 rockets fell into the enemy's stronghold and exploded within 10 seconds. The Japanese and puppet troops were unable to react at all.
This stronghold still has Japanese masonry turrets and masonry bunkers and other defensive fortifications, which have such powerful firepower.
It would be great fun to fire a volley of firepower at the Japs' defensive positions or the Japs' assembly areas.
The soldiers from the guard camp had already pressed forward, and by this time they were almost approaching the Shimonoseki stronghold.
Although most of the 64 rockets fell into the Shimonoseki stronghold, there were still survivors who could not be protected.
However, what is certain is that most of the Japanese and puppet troops were already dead, and the entire Maguan stronghold was directly wiped off the map under a single salvo.
The scene was a little quiet for a while.
They expected that the power of this cannon must be great, but its power and rate of fire were still far beyond everyone's expectations.
At this time, Li Yunlong's eyes were also shining brightly, and his tone was excited: "What a damn good shot!"
"Good shot!"
Zhao Gang couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Xing Zhiguo sighed with emotion: "Boss Chen really didn't lie to us. The power of the Katyusha rocket launcher is really powerful!"
"This rocket launcher will be a little devil's nightmare!"
Kong Jie's eyes widened and he was amazed. Uncle Kong, who had experienced many battles, was extremely sensitive to weapons.
Ding Wei asked: "Old Li, how many rockets can your Katyusha rocket launcher fire in one salvo? How long does it take to reload?"
Li Yunlong said: "A rocket launcher can fire 16 rockets at a time, and it can be fired in 10 seconds. The power of each rocket is similar to the power of the 150mm high-explosive artillery shells we are equipped with. It takes 10 seconds to reload.
minute."
Li Yunlong knew that rockets were very valuable. Even though Boss Chen reimbursed even the training bombs, he did not waste rockets casually.
Even a regular live ammunition test would still hit the heads of the Japanese and puppet troops with rockets.
Ding Wei said: "This thing is very suitable for artillery fire coverage. A single artillery fire coverage will directly blow up the enemy. At this time, the infantry can take down the Japanese position with one go."
"The reloading time is a little long, but it's acceptable."
"This thing is also easier to expose and relies more on air superiority. However, our Eighth Route Army will soon have aircraft, so this problem is not a big problem."
In fact, it was not just Katyusha who was afraid of Japanese planes.
The reason why the current Eighth Route Army has not counterattacked the Japanese army in Shanxi is because the Japanese planes pose too great a threat to the Eighth Route Army's artillery and artillery.
Although the new regiment's anti-aircraft firepower is relatively strong, the other brother units of the Eighth Route Army do not have such strong anti-aircraft firepower.
Fighting from high altitude to low altitude is to gain an advantage.
In fact, in another time and space, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was directly under the Artillery Regiment. After the Hundred Regiments War, the Artillery Regiment was afraid of being targeted and blown up by Japanese planes.
So the headquarters decided to transfer the artillery regiment to YA in northern Shaanxi and set up an artillery school to provide artillery talents to various units of the Eighth Route Army.
At present, YA in northern Shaanxi has indeed established an artillery school, which is the size of an artillery regiment. It is basically equipped with American 75mm mountain guns, 105mm howitzers, bazooka rocket launchers, 60mm and 82mm mortars, and some
Captured Japanese mortars, infantry guns and other equipment.
If it weren't for the 150mm howitzer and 203mm howitzer being too heavy, the head of the headquarters would even want to transport these two cannons to YA in northern Shaanxi.
Many artillerymen in the new regiment graduated from the YA Eighth Route Army Artillery School.
Ding Wei then asked: "Old Li, how many Katyusha rocket launchers do you have?"
"What do you want to do, kid?"
When asked by Ding Wei, Captain Li's tone was full of vigilance.
Ding Wei is not a fuel-efficient guy, he is a guy who can't afford to get up early because he has no profit. Li Yunlong knew that Ding Wei was interested in his Katyusha rocket launcher.
"Why not?" Ding Wei's tone and expression did not change at all, "You no longer have mountain artillery, but you must have a lot of rocket launchers. Give us 8 new regiments, and I will exchange them with you for 3,000 new soldiers!"
Nowadays, Boss Chen is becoming more and more generous, and Ding Wei knows that Li Yunlong must have more than four Katyushas in his hands.
"Old Li." Kong Jie saw this and said hurriedly, "Give our independent regiment 8 rocket launchers, and I will exchange them with you for 3,200 new soldiers."
Kong Jie and Ding Wei are really jealous of the Katyusha rocket launcher.
A salvo of four rocket launchers actually had the effect of an artillery regiment.
If eight rocket launchers fire in one salvo, it still has the effect of an artillery brigade?
Who can not be jealous of this?
25 mountain artillery pieces, and up to two mountain artillery battalions according to the conventional establishment, can replace 3,000 recruits.
Moreover, the power of this rocket is much greater than the power of mountain cannon, and it is absolutely worth it.
3,000 recruits in exchange for 8 rocket launchers, definitely not a loss!
Not to mention Ding Wei and Kong Jie, if the head of the headquarters knew how powerful this Katyusha rocket launcher was, he would definitely not agree to Li Yunlong's request to keep these 24 Katyushas in the new regiment.
Kong Jie also knows that Boss Chen has been relatively generous recently, but there are probably not too many new weapons of mass destruction like rocket launchers.
If Ding Wei were to be replaced, Kong Jie would suffer a big loss.
Ding Wei's face turned dark and he said: "Lao Kong, no one can do business like you. I offered 3,000, but you actually offered 3,200?"
"How to do business is my business." Kong Jie said, "Anyway, the one with the highest price will get these 8 rocket launchers."
"Old Kong, if you talk like that, I won't be polite." Ding Wei said, "Old Li, I will send out recruit No. 3500 in exchange for 8 Katyusha rocket launchers."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The defense areas of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are not like the defense areas of the New First Regiment.
The young men suitable for serving as soldiers in the new regiment's defense area have basically been drained.
However, the defense areas of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment still have plenty of troops, and there is no problem for the two defense areas to recruit another 80,000 new soldiers in total.
As long as they are not replaced by veterans and elites, they are just new recruits. Ding Wei and Kong Jie have plenty of them.
In two to three months at most, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment will be able to recruit 10,000 new soldiers each, complete training and go to the battlefield.
As for the ammunition issue of the Katyusha rocket launcher, there is no need to worry.
By then, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment will probably be under the command of Li Yunlong. Boss Chen will reimburse the ammunition, and the supplies will be air-dropped. Are you worried that there will be no ammunition?
Kong Jie gritted his teeth: "I can send out up to 4,000 recruits. If you send out more recruits than me, Old Ding, these eight Katyusha rocket launchers will be yours."
"Okay!" Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I will send out 4,001 new soldiers. Lao Li, you prepare the 8 Katyusha rocket launchers. I will take them away when I go back later."
At this time, sporadic assault gunshots were fired from the direction of the Shimonoseki stronghold, and soldiers from the guard battalion were clearing away the remnants of the enemy.
Zhao Gang and others on the side felt a little amused watching Ding Wei and Kong Jie compete for the 8th Katyusha.
Ding Kong and Li wore a pair of trousers when they were good, but when they fell out, no one knew each other. Soon after, they had to wear a pair of trousers again.
This is a life and death comrade who came out of the class.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie and then at Ding Wei:
"The labor and management haven't agreed yet. Are you planning to buy and sell by force? If you don't go out and ask around, who dares to buy and sell by force on our head, Lao Li?"
"Old Li." Ding Wei asked in a deep voice, "I just want to ask you a question, do you want to replace the 4,001 new recruits with 8 Katyusha rocket launchers?"
Ding Wei knew that the number of troops in the New Regiment's defense area was almost exhausted, but the New Regiment still needed to grow.
Northwest Shanxi is already barren, and the 120th Division has already recruited a round of troops, so there are not many young people suitable to join the army.
Fortunately, the mass base in northwestern Shanxi is very good, and the people in northwestern Shanxi strongly support the Eighth Route Army in the war of resistance.
In addition, after the Iron Triangle led its troops to northwestern Shanxi, they won many great victories and last autumn solved the food problem of the people in northwestern Shanxi, so the people were very enthusiastic about joining the army.
Just send propaganda cadres to the villages to spread the word, and almost all young people will be willing to join the army.
Li Yunlong looked thoughtful after hearing this.
Originally, he didn't want to exchange Katyusha rocket launchers with Ding Wei and Kong Jie for new recruits.
I simply invited Ding Wei and Kong Jie to come over and observe the new weapons of mass destruction.
Unexpectedly, Ding Wei and Kong Jie fell in love with the Katyusha rocket launcher at a glance and insisted on replacing it with new soldiers.
The new regiment now has 8,000 recruits in the training camp, and the training has basically been completed. Another 50 mountain artillery pieces were exchanged for 6,000 recruits with Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
This added 14,000 new recruits.
Currently, the New Regiment needs about 6,000 new recruits to complete the expansion plan scheduled by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
In today's new regiment defense area, the supply of suitable-age soldiers is indeed about to be exhausted.
Li Yunlong's eyes rolled, he looked at Ding Wei and then at Kong Jie.
"We are all old comrades-in-arms, and I won't hide it from you. This time, Boss Chen gave me 24 Katyusha rocket launchers."
"If you two are willing, I will take out 8 rocket launchers and you two will each have 4 rocket launchers. You two will each give me 1,500 recruits. Is this a fair price?"
"Okay!" Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked slightly happy and said in unison.
The Katyusha rocket launcher, a weapon of mass destruction, is absolutely priceless.
1,500 recruits were exchanged for 4 Katyushas, and Boss Chen was responsible for reimbursing the ammunition, so there was absolutely no loss!
Li Yunlong nodded: "Well, I will assign an artillery consultant to each of your two regiments to teach the artillery of your two regiments how to use it."
In this way, the new regiment only needs to recruit 3,000 new soldiers from the militia to complete this round of expansion.
It not only allows the new regiment to quickly complete its expansion, but also allows the troops to form combat effectiveness.
That is to say, the headquarters has allocated a large number of outstanding officers. Otherwise, according to Li Yunlong's expansion method, the average combat effectiveness of the troops will not increase but decrease.
All three brothers are very happy with this wave of business.
The three brothers, who looked like they were wearing a pair of trousers, rode in a jeep and led a convoy back to Zhaojiayu in northwest Shanxi.
…
(Many brothers say that there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to write a long novel, you have to be a little more conservative. According to the original outline, you will have to write at most ten or two hundred thousand words to complete the book. In order to try as much as possible
I’d like to write it longer so that everyone can read it more comfortably. I’ve been racking my brains lately.)
