Independent group.

Artillery range.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, as well as the brigade commander and division commander who had just rushed over from the headquarters, more than sixty people stood aside.

Everyone was very quiet at this time, and everyone craned their necks to look at the middle of the shooting range.

There's a mortar position there,

Wang Chengzhu is assembling a mortar.

After compacting the base plate, mounting the barrel, installing the tripod, and attaching the sight, an 82 mortar was gradually assembled under Wang Chengzhu's fiddling.

Looking at its appearance, it is clearly the Type 87 82 mortar that was put into large-scale service in the late 1980s.

After the assembly was completed, Wang Chengzhu handed the ammunition hand over a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel, then squatted down and covered his ears.

boom···

Muzzle fireworks bloom.

A cannonball jumped into the distance like a black lightning in the fireworks.

Next to the artillery position, there was a soldier carrying a backpack individual radio. Everyone could hear what this soldier said.

"The impact point of the artillery shell has been observed and the range is being measured."

"Ranging completed."

"Range 5732 meters."

Then, a staff officer ran over quickly. He looked at everyone and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Li Yunlong with difficulty and reported:

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the new 82 mortar fired live ammunition with a maximum range of 5732 meters."

"Five thousand seven hundred and thirty-two meters."

As soon as the data came out, everyone present, including a dozen people from the headquarters, exclaimed.

Originally, the 82 mortar equipped by the army had a range of only three thousand meters, but now, this new 82 mortar has a range of nearly six thousand meters.

"good."

The brigade commander couldn't help but waved the riding crop in his hand, and said in an excited tone:

"We finally have a way to deal with the little devil's mountain cannon."

The maximum range of 5,700 meters is only 700 meters closer than the range of the Japanese Type 41 mountain artillery. With the mobility of the mortar, this range gap can be completely ignored to suppress the Japanese mountain artillery troops.

Although the accuracy of the mortar is much worse than that of the barrel gun, it has the advantage of rate of fire. In conjunction with the frontline artillery observation posts, it is not difficult to suppress the Japanese artillery troops.

Besides, the independent regiment has 82 mortar shells free of charge.

A group of people walked up and looked at the brand-new mortar carefully. Some even lifted it up to feel the weight of the new cannon.

"This thing really only weighs forty kilograms...?"

I saw a person from the headquarters lifting the entire mortar with both hands. After feeling the weight, he couldn't help but ask.

The performance booklet of the new mortar has been distributed to everyone present, and the range has been proven. The range of 5,700 meters is only a lot more, but many people do not believe it for the weight of 40 kilograms.

In other words, I can't believe it.

The 82 mortar previously equipped by the army weighed more than 60 kilograms. Although the range was almost doubled, the weight was reduced by one-third!

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought it was impossible.

60 mortar has doubled its range without reducing its weight at all!

But holding the mortar in his hands and feeling how heavy it was for one person to lift it, the person from the headquarters couldn't help but want to confirm.

"Forty-five kilograms with sight."

Wang Chengzhu replied:

"It's exactly the same as in the data."

"Forty and five kilograms."

Everyone sighed in unison.

Compared with the previous 82 mortar, it has only been reduced by 20 kilograms, and each structure has been reduced by an average of seven kilograms.

Seven kilograms is really not low.

For soldiers marching on foot and crossing the battlefield, it is a huge burden reduction, which can greatly reduce the physical consumption of soldiers, improve combat effectiveness, and improve mobility.

"Sure enough, advanced science and technology are the number one fighting force!"

The teacher, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but speak.

The 82 mortar, which weighs forty kilograms, has a range of 5,700 meters, and weighs 4.2 kilograms, has a standard grenade killing radius of 26 meters. The group of people watching at this time are very clear about how effective it is on the battlefield.

The basis of any tactic is based on the weapons and equipment of an army.

With the new 82 mortar, as long as it is not an endless plain terrain, even if there is only a partial cover, the main army regiment, such as the 772 regiment with more than 3,000 people, can fight in the field with the Japanese at the regiment level.

Don't panic even if the Japanese have tanks.

After the troops have anti-tank guns, they already have the means to deal with enemy tanks from a distance. If the front is not good, they can use the sides. Outflanking is the troops' specialty.

Everyone lingered around the 82 mortar for almost two hours.

Because the artillery shells were free, these guys who had signed up for the independent regiment happily tried their artillery skills one by one. After firing thousands of artillery shells, they reluctantly left the artillery range under urging.

"Let's go look at other weapons. We have three good things this time."

"What are the other two?"

People coming from the headquarters were curious.

With major construction coming soon, personnel and structure must also be adjusted accordingly. The base area is very busy now, especially the headquarters. If it were not for the importance of these three good things this time, it would almost have a qualitative change in the combat effectiveness of the army.

They won't rush over quickly.

"12.7mm heavy machine gun."

"Military Jeep."

Zhao Gang replied.

At the same time, the staff officer of the independent regiment handed weapons manuals to everyone coming from the headquarters.

Everyone took the manual and read it carefully.

Gradually, everyone's eyes lit up.

"New heavy machine gun?"

"It's a bit heavy. It weighs more than 50 kilograms with a tripod, which is the same weight as the little devil's Type 92."

"Heavy?"

"Can you take a closer look?"

"Hiss, it has a 12.7 mm caliber, a maximum range of 2,500 meters to the ground, and a height of 800 meters to the air. It can quickly change the barrel and is equipped with tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets."

"My fairy Banban, what a good thing!"

"Haha, now we don't have to worry about the Japanese plane."

"This gun can also hit Japanese armored vehicles!"

"Not only that, stone and earthen bunkers within five hundred meters, and sandbag bunkers within three layers can be penetrated directly. Whether it is defense or offense, they are all good things."

"····"

The second weapon is the famous Browning heavy machine gun. This century-old evergreen tree in the country of machine guns. The version brought by the system master is almost the same as the model used by the American emperor in the 1980s. Compared with the model during World War II, it can

Quick barrel replacement and improved materials make the barrel last longer and reduce the failure rate.

"Can this 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet be reimbursed?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone fell silent and looked at Li Yunlong one by one.

Although the new heavy machine gun is heavy, about the same weight as the Little Devil Type 92, it has a large caliber of 12.7 mm and is equipped with tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets to bring great power, ultra-long shooting height and range, and stable ballistics...

Even before seeing the real thing, this group of elites who came out of the war felt the tactical changes brought about by the new weapons.

The air defense height of the troops will reach 800 meters, and the threat posed by Japanese aircraft will be further reduced. Simple civil fortifications, sandbag bunkers below three levels, and Japanese armored vehicles will lose their role as bunkers.

Even ordinary adobe houses and so on are useless in the face of new heavy machine guns.

This means that without reducing mobility, both the attack power and defense power of the troops have been greatly improved.

after all,

The new heavy machine gun weighs the same as the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun.

If coupled with sufficient ammunition, no, almost unlimited ammunition, then...

"certainly."
