Although Laura, Hei Dahan and Gou Saiyu are not outsiders and can eat at the base of the Independent Regiment, they cannot stay in the base for a long time according to the military management regulations re-issued after the Independence Regiment. This clause applies to all non-Independent Regiment personnel.
.
Because there are too many secrets involved in the Independent Regiment base now, under the advice of the security department led by Xiao Fenghua, several giants of the Independent Regiment met and studied and decided on this policy.
Not to mention that the base has grown in size and has been upgraded from a research group to a scientific research institute and an important material reserve warehouse. Just talking about the current armed configuration of the base cannot be left to the prying eyes of outsiders.
Although the base still looks like a fortress surrounded by mountains and protected by natural mountains from the outside, its defensive capabilities and internal structure are completely different from those two years ago.
With the continuous improvement of the base fortress of the Independent Regiment in the past two years, a real fortress has been formed that connects the five peaks into one. It is also a fortress guarding the only channel between Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.
Although the mountains that make up the main body of the fortress are still lush and green, they are actually densely covered with various medium, long and short-range firepower points. The originally exposed passages to quickly form a defensive force have been completely filled in, leaving only hidden sections that can be returned to the tunnel at any time.
The trenches in the woods are not without traffic, but are all from the outside to the inside. The mountainsides of the five mountains have basically been hollowed out. There are secret passages crisscrossing them. Soldiers can go directly to various defensive positions through the passages in the mountains without passing through the mountains.
.
Artillery is the most important defensive weapon for the independent regiment's fortress base. Although the 105-caliber small howitzer, which can shoot over 10 kilometers, has not yet been equipped, firing ports have been reserved on various mountain peaks. The range of a slightly closer range is up to 7,000 meters.
The 75-caliber mountain gun, the 3,000-meter-range infantry gun, and the 2,000-meter-range 82-caliber mortar are also important components of the long and near three-dimensional artillery fire at the independent regiment base.
At the same time, the independent regiment fortress covering an area of 6 kilometers has three anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft gun positions. Each established position will have 8 75mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 20mm twin machine guns, and MG42 anti-aircraft machine guns.
24, three anti-aircraft artillery positions distributed in a triangle can attack enemy aircraft coming from any direction. As long as the number of incoming enemy aircraft cannot exceed 100 at a time, this is equivalent to the air defense firepower of three national army air defense regiments that can defeat any enemy.
You know, the sky is not always filled with airplanes.
At least not over the Independence Regiment's fortress base.
At the same time, these anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which can shoot flatly with a range of up to 3,000 meters and are hidden in tunnels at high altitudes, can also provide tactical support for ground operations. They are also an important part of the independent regiment's fortress close-range firepower network against the ground.
part.
Each firing port designed with a firing angle of up to 160 degrees can make these anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns a nightmare for ground enemies.
The perimeter of all shooting ports that have been planned and basically completed is covered with reinforced concrete, and a thick layer of soil is laid on them and shrubs are planted to provide necessary camouflage.
For this reason, in addition to the amount of cement produced by the Huashang Group Construction Branch for the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, the rest was basically invested in the cost of the independent regiment base, and there was not much exported at all.
In addition to these artillery of various sizes and calibers, whose range of air defense and ground defense has recently reached 1,000 meters, the most important component of the fire network within a distance of 1,000 meters is naturally the "Hitler's Chainsaw" MG42 machine gun with the highest rate of fire in the independent regiment.
In the independent regiment base that has stored nearly 5 million rounds of ammunition, the only disadvantage of excessive consumption of the MG42 machine gun will no longer exist. Nearly 80 heavy machine gun firepower points on the five mountain peaks will each be equipped with 10,000 rounds of ammunition for a long time.
If any invading enemy knew that they had risked their lives to break through the artillery fire barrier at the Independence Regiment's fortress base, no matter which direction they attacked, they would still have to face a torrent of metal that could spit out 800 rounds of bullets per second. This did not include the defending soldiers.
With the rifles in their hands, their hearts should also be broken.
It is still a time of peace, and the small ordnance factory of the Independent Regiment has been mainly producing semi-automatic rifles and pistols developed and designed by the talented people Liu Tuanzuo fooled back. At the same time, it also has to deal with the "Storm" that is being intensively developed.
Rocket launchers and the independent regiment's most mysterious weapon "individual rockets" are fully supported.
Of course, those who can participate in these two projects have been strictly reviewed by the Security Department of the Independent Mission. A very important point is that the last three generations have lived in Sichuan, and no one in the family has ever been out of Sichuan. Except for Liu Tuan
Captain Skinner, a foreigner who was poached from the United States as the chief designer of the individual rocket launcher, and the rest of the people involved in these two projects, including Dr. Grunov, are all authentic Chinese.
.
Liu Lang knew that once the secrets of these two weapons were leaked to the Japanese, the blow to China would be devastating. If the Japanese, who have mastered the secrets of rocket launches, produce rocket launchers and rocket launchers in large quantities, it may not only be China that is unlucky.
, the world situation may change accordingly. At least, the red polar bear tank is no longer Japan's irresistible steel torrent in the face of individual rocket launchers.
If they were attacked from both sides by the Nazi Third Reich and Japan, the Red Polar Bear, the most important fulcrum of the Allied forces in Eastern Europe, could not survive, leading to the Allied forces' defeat. Eventually, the world would be ruled by a bunch of militaristic Nazis. Liu Lang sweated in his vest just thinking about it.
Liu Lang is not afraid of the sinners of the world. What he is afraid of is becoming a sinner of the Chinese nation. In that case, he would rather carry Hanyang and fight against the Japs. Before a full-scale war, these two weapons must not be displayed to the world.
At the beginning of the war, Japan, which was fully engaged in the war, was like a wild horse that started to run wild. Even if it wanted to invest in the research of rockets, it was too late. They did not have Liu Tuanzuo, a little butterfly from the future, standing on the shoulders of giants to deal with rockets.
Provide key opinions on the study of bombs.
The research on rockets by Mustache and Big Beard began more than ten years ago, but it was not until 1941 that the Red Polar Bear actually put the "Katyusha" into actual combat and beat the Third Reich who was caught off guard.
It took a full twenty years for the missile to come up with a research intention and design a successful design. The mustache was slower, and it was not until it was about to lose that it launched its own rocket. However, as soon as it was launched, it was a big V1 that could fly hundreds of kilometers.
Rockets were very good in that era, but unfortunately there was no way to save them and they no longer played any role in the outcome of the war.
In other words, by mid-1935, after three years of development, the construction of the Independence Regiment's fortress base had been basically completed, but the planned equipment was not yet in place.
However, this is not a big problem. As early as two years ago, after Liu Lang had a secret meeting with the old man from Shanxi, Liu Lang had already embedded the Taiyuan Arsenal as an important link in his huge plan.
Originally, I wanted to cooperate with the Shanxi old man to complete the weapon configuration of the fortress base. Now that Huamei Company has intervened, it will naturally be more convenient.
After the machine tools and technology of the relocated Taiyuan Arsenal are upgraded, the Independence Regiment Fortress Base will become the first customer. Liu Lang had already placed an order with Huamei Company at the banquet to welcome the little foreign girl.
16 105-caliber howitzers, 30 75-caliber mountain guns and 30 100-mm caliber cannons, which are better than the Japanese 30 70-caliber infantry guns, 30 twin 20-mm machine guns, 150 60-mm mortars, and 82-mm mortars
There are 60 guns, the initial purchase base for each gun is 500 rounds, and there are three spare barrels.
Of course, it is not said that these guns must all be produced by the renamed Huamei Arsenal. As the world's factory, the Americans had both sides during this period and maintained good trade relations with all countries. In order to surpass the two old brands of Britain and France,
As a powerful European country, the Americans are always supporting the mustache from behind. Liu Lang believes that it will be without any difficulty for the American-owned Huamei Company to purchase a batch of Krupp LEFH18 105mm howitzers from the Third Reich.
Although this 105mm howitzer was designed 20 years ago, it was still one of the best artillery pieces during World War II. Throughout World War II, the Third Reich frantically produced 20,000 guns.
However, the 1,800-kilogram gun body can allow fifteen soldiers in a squad to push it into the main gun tunnel, and it can also fire various types of shells. The most awesome thing is that it can not only have a direct fire range of up to 12,000 meters, but also can
The direct-aiming gun adjusted to hit armored targets is definitely the best choice for the main gun of the independent regiment base fortress.
The 75-caliber artillery is naturally the Bofors. The Bofors mountain gun, which is easy to move and flexible and has a range of up to 9,000 meters, is definitely one of the best among medium-range artillery.
With medium and long-range firepower coupled with the extremely exaggerated short-range MG42 machine gun firepower and the auxiliary defense of anti-aircraft gun positions, the Independence Regiment Fortress Base can instantly turn into a spike-covered enemy in the face of any invading enemy.
hedgehog.
The attack range of this "hedgehog" is as high as 12 kilometers, completely covering the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, which is only 2 kilometers away from the base, within its fire attack range.
Including the Huamei Arsenal, which has a selected factory site 2 kilometers away from the Independence Regiment Base, and the research institute and warehouse located in the mountains behind the Independence Regiment Base. Anyone who wants to enter or exit the Independence Regiment Base will be within the range of fatal firepower.
As long as there are 3,000 troops in the base, Liu Lang is confident that he can withstand an attack of more than 50,000 people from a group army with the base's far, medium and near firepower.
