"These are weapons and ammunition dropped to you by air."
"Another airdrop?"
Ding Wei looked at the sky in confusion.
The sky was clear and cloudless. I didn’t see any planes passing by!
When was it airdropped?
so amazing……
"This is equipment for an infantry company."
"Pack light."
"Basic type."
"Including 120 rifles, 12 light machine guns, 3 mortars, and 3 base amounts of ammunition."
Zhang Chu explained briefly.
I feel that there is nothing special about this British infantry company.
All infantry companies are like this.
Only China cannot reach it.
Even the German weapons divisions, the main force of the Central Army, could not have three mortars in each company.
The more heavy the weapons, the more they are lacking.
For industrial powers, mortars are definitely enough.
Of course, this is the most basic equipment. Once it enters the battle, other weapons will definitely be strengthened. Especially light machine guns and mortars.
Strengthen at least 6 light machine guns.
It is also possible to strengthen the 3 Vickers heavy machine guns.
Strengthen at least 3 mortars.
However, the basic-type infantry company elders were enough to surprise the soldiers of the Yanbei detachment.
Not excited.
Not excited.
It's surprise.
Their equipment is really quite rudimentary.
Although there are no old slides made in Hanyang, they use relatively old domestic 79 rifles.
The factory quality of these 79 rifles is not very good. After long-term use, the performance drops sharply. However, even so, only two-thirds of people are equipped with rifles.
The other third of the people still use cold weapons, including spears and broadswords, and some use bows and arrows.
As for light machine guns, mortars, etc., don't even think about them.
"Don't grab it!"
"No grabbing!"
"No grabbing!"
Liu Ying shouted loudly.
The soldiers who were so happy finally calmed down.
Weapons and various ammunition were quickly distributed. As a result, the number of people was immediately insufficient.
Mainly artillery shells, and the number of bullets is a bit large. Without animal power or vehicles, it is still a bit difficult to transport them solely by manpower.
Especially the number of bullets, that's quite a lot.
A full hundred boxes!
1500 rounds per box.
That’s a total of 150,000 rounds of ammunition!
Fortunately, the soldiers were very excited and didn't care about carrying the bullet boxes directly.
One box per person.
I didn't feel unbearable at all.
Ding Wei couldn't help but his eyes got hot.
It’s all good stuff!
It's a pity that they are all from the Yanbei detachment, not the Wutaishan detachment.
He hurriedly pulled Zhang Chu aside.
"Commander Zhang, please airdrop some to me whenever you want."
"sure!"
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you. But I also have conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Capture a county seat."
"Well……"
"I'll give you the equipment of an infantry regiment. A large regiment of 3,200 people. 100 machine guns. 30 mortars. 6 75mm field guns."
"ah……"
Ding Wei suddenly felt energetic.
The eyes become like those of a tiger. A tiger is full of power.
The weapons and equipment of a regiment.
A large group of 3,200 people!
One hundred machine guns!
Thirty mortars!
Six 75mm field guns!
Can he not be moved?
My heartbeat is about to explode!
"Li Yunlong..."
"That's right. The New Regiment and the Independent Regiment have all changed their uniforms. The Yannan detachment has also changed part of it."
"No wonder..."
Ding Wei finally understood.
Why were Li Yunlong and Kong Jie able to make such a big fuss?
He was able to annihilate an entire infantry regiment of Japanese invaders!
Fortunately, they all have good guys!
Not only are there a huge number of mortars, but there are also genuine mountain cannons!
Especially the latter!
It is definitely a weapon for attacking tough situations!
Not only can it be used as a bunker and gun tower to defeat the Japanese invaders, but it can also be used to attack cities!
As long as there are field artillery, you can definitely capture the county town or something like that. The Japanese are just bullying the Eighth Route Army because they don't have heavy weapons.
"Can weapons and ammunition be airdropped in advance?"
"Okay. I believe in your character, Commander Ding."
"That……"
Ding Wei gritted his teeth.
My mind started to think nervously.
Around the Wutai Mountain detachment, there are Fan County, Ling County, Hun County, Lai County, Dai County, etc.
Among them, the Japanese invaders were stationed heavily in Dai County, which was definitely unbeatable. However, in other counties, the defenders basically consisted of a large group of Japanese invaders. Some did not even have a large group.
Puppet troops and so on can be ignored.
However, in these counties, the Japanese invaders had built relatively complete fortifications and were not afraid of the Eighth Route Army attacking them.
Because as long as it lasts three or four days, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive from Taiyuan and Datong.
In fact, the Japanese invaders hoped that the Eighth Route Army would launch a strong attack. In this way, the fortifications could be used to effectively consume the Eighth Route Army's effective strength, which would be beneficial to the Japanese invaders.
The Eighth Route Army saw through the Japanese aggressors' plot. Therefore, it did not attack the city. Instead, it specialized in attacking the Japanese aggressors' logistics and transportation teams, as well as sporadic Japanese aggressors. The Japanese aggressors were helpless.
It can be said that in addition to controlling the county towns, the Japanese invaders also controlled the world of the Eighth Route Army.
To say that we don’t want to conquer the county seat is also a lie.
think.
really want.
Especially Fan County, which is deeply wedged into the base area, poses a great threat to the base area. As a result, the base area is divided and cannot be effectively connected.
But it can't be done.
Because there are no heavy weapons, it cannot attack the fortifications.
Fill it with your life, no matter how many people you have, it won't be enough.
The Eighth Route Army would not do such a stupid thing. They would not hit an egg against a rock.
But……
If there are really six field guns, then you can consider attacking the city.
Those fortifications of the Japanese invaders would definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of field artillery. With a large number of mortars, it is entirely possible to attack the city.
"How many shells does a cannon carry?" Ding Wei asked cautiously.
"One hundred rounds. If it's not enough, I'll add more at any time." Zhang Chu replied generously.
It is estimated that the Japanese reinforcements are getting closer and closer to Ping'an County, and it is inevitable for the new regiment to abandon Ping'an County. Therefore, I have to make backups quickly.
How to back up?
It means conquering another county.
According to the requirements of the system, as long as there is a county in hand, there will be additional rewards.
The requirements are not high. It’s just a county town.
By taking ten thousand steps back, even if we can't capture the county here, we can still attract the attention of the Japanese invaders and reduce the pressure on Li Yunlong's side.
The fighting started vigorously here, how could the Japanese invaders not be affected?
"Okay! It's a deal!" Ding Wei was not polite, "Weapons and ammunition will arrive first!"
"How many people are there in your Wutai Mountain detachment?" Zhang Chu nodded, "How many people can you gather to attack the county?"
"Five thousand!" Ding Wei replied affirmatively, "Including the Yanbei detachment's three thousand, at least eight thousand!"
"Captain Ding, don't fool me!" Zhang Chu was dubious.
There are so many people?
Are you kidding!
You have a detachment of five thousand people?
I've already asked, and there are only over a thousand people in the Yannan detachment.
"If you don't believe me, ask Captain Liu."
"good!"
Zhang Chuzhen ran to ask Liu Ying.
At this time, Liu Ying was happily holding a Ying Qiqi pistol.
She is a woman. She hates rifles like Shui Lian Zhu because she often cannot pull the bolt. Sometimes she needs to use a pedal. Therefore, some Shui Lian Zhu are also called pedal guns.
"nice one!"
“A little more would be nice!”
Liu Ying was full of praise for Ying Qiqi. She thought it was very easy to pull the gun bolt.
In fact, the Yingqi Qi adopts a rotating rear-pull bolt mechanism. It is indeed very light and very fast to pull the bolt.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to become the fastest bolt-action rifle!
"Why are you asking this?"
"event."
"I don't know the exact number of people. But it will definitely not be a problem for our Yanbei detachment to recruit 3,000 people."
"real?"
"I lied to you and I have nothing to eat!"
"What about the Wutaishan detachment?"
"Them? That's the old base over there, and there are a lot of people there. There are probably five to six thousand people!"
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
It turns out that Ding Wei did not lie. There are indeed many people in this Wutai Mountain detachment.
Many times, detachments are used to supplement soldiers. Sometimes they are divided into smaller groups. Sometimes they are not divided at all. Therefore, the establishment is relatively large.
In this case...
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and prepare weapons and ammunition and prepare to attack the city!
