The four hundred and seventieth chapter is full of confidence
Just when Wang Ping showed a puzzled expression on his face, Wang Ping rushed in hastily.
"Report to the chief, Wang Ping, director of the arsenal, has been ordered to report!"
Commander Nie waved his hand directly and said: "I don't listen to such nonsense. Division One is the old unit you have been in. Now there is an important battle in Division One, which is related to whether our Eighth Route Army can end this anti-encirclement and suppression operation as soon as possible."
"However, there is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in the first division. The ordinary troops only have fifty rounds of ammunition per person, and the elites who are the main attackers only have one hundred rounds of ammunition per person. You are the director of the arsenal. If the troops are out of ammunition, I will definitely come to you. Since you
Now that I’m here, I’ll leave this problem to you to solve!”
"Please rest assured, chief, and I promise to complete the task!" Wang Ping, who was prepared in advance, answered readily without saying a word.
"I came here this time because I was in a hurry, so I only brought 200,000 rounds of bullets of various calibers, 10,000 grenades, and 2,000 81mm mortar shells. Although it is not a lot, it is enough for the soldiers to have.
The amount of ammunition in it will at least double!"
Commander Yang's brows, which had been furrowed just now, suddenly relaxed.
He patted Wang Ping on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Wang Ping, I really didn't misjudge you at the beginning!"
"You sent me so much ammunition at once, which shows that the arsenal is developing well in your hands. Commander, I will immediately arrange for people to distribute these ammunition. With these ammunition, our commander will be more confident in facing the next battle.
Be confident!"
Commander Nie shook his head and said: "Wait a minute, if Wang Ping only brings this little thing, I will directly remove him from the position of director of the arsenal."
"Let me tell you, the development of the arsenal in Wang Ping's hands far exceeds your imagination."
"The Wang Ping standing in front of you is not only a talent in our military region, but also a talent in our entire Eighth Route Army. Now, he has been registered in Yan'an. The commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief all know that he is here.
Among all the regiment-level cadres of our Eighth Route Army, they are definitely second to none!"
Commander Yang immediately turned his attention to Wang Ping, stared at Wang Ping and cursed with a smile: "You Wang Ping, how dare you ambush your old leader. Tell me, what good things have you prepared for me!"
Wang Ping answered readily: "A heavy artillery battalion has twenty-seven heavy artillery, and each heavy artillery is equipped with fifty rounds of artillery shells. And I even brought the artillery. After the battle starts, I guarantee that the artillery will hit wherever you point it, and it can also follow the troops."
Attack together!"
"Twenty-seven heavy artillery! How is that possible?" Commander Nie's first reaction was disbelief.
Commander Nie, who asked Wang Ping to send heavy artillery, was also frightened.
He knew that the arsenal had produced a lot of heavy mortars, but he didn't expect there to be so many, three heavy mortar companies.
Although Commander Nie had never witnessed the power of heavy mortars with his own eyes, he still listened to Wang Ping's introduction.
As long as Wang Ping did not tell lies, Commander Nie believed that with so many heavy mortars joining the battle, the Eighth Route Army's chances of winning would be at least 20%.
You must know that although the Japanese troops they want to ambush are equipped with a lot of artillery, they are all field artillery and mountain artillery, which are no match for heavy mortars.
Thinking of this, the excited Commander Nie subconsciously shouted: "Where is the heavy artillery battalion? Take me to see it immediately!"
Commander Yang, who didn't know what kind of heavy artillery Wang Ping was talking about, was also very excited and full of expectations, and added immediately.
"Yes, take us to see it now. I want to determine the combat effectiveness of this heavy artillery battalion!"
"If it's as powerful as you say, then send it to a team. With heavy artillery, they will definitely be even more powerful. The insertion mission that could be completed in one night can be completed in maybe four hours, and it can also provide support to the Japanese and puppet troops.
Cause a lot of damage and reduce the pressure of subsequent encirclement and annihilation battles."
Wang Ping replied confidently: "The power of mortars has been tested on the battlefield, and it is guaranteed to be strong but not weak!"
"And the battle we are going to face next is a field battle. On the field battlefield, heavy mortar shells that use shrapnel and shock waves as their main killing methods can exert their power to the extreme, which will definitely surprise the two leaders!"
"The heavy artillery battalion is outside and can be inspected by the leaders at any time!"
"Go and see now, seeing is believing, we can't just listen to what you say!" Commander Nie quickly made a decision.
The guard regiment arranged a temporary location for the arsenal, because most of the mules and horses transporting ammunition had been taken away by the guard regiment, but the remaining more than a hundred mules and horses were crowded together and it was still very lively.
A heavy mortar weighs nearly 400 kilograms and requires two mules and horses to transport it after disassembly.
As soon as Wang Ping arrived at the station, he ordered the second battalion commander Yi Jun to arm a mortar.
Because he had been in actual combat, the gunner was very fast. In less than two minutes, a 120 mm caliber heavy mortar with a height of nearly 1.5 meters was armed.
The long gun body and thick barrel... all showed its powerful power to Commander Yang and Commander Nie.
Not to mention, when the gunner took out a cannonball that weighed more than 20 kilograms, the two men's eyes widened.
"Chief, there are eight kilograms of gunpowder in the shells, and they are all high explosives. They are at least one more powerful than the ten kilograms of explosives fired by our thunder cannons. The killing range is more than fifteen meters. The enemy within five meters will be killed.
Even if they lie on the ground, the powerful shock wave will kill them!"
"Wang Ping, tell me again, how many heavy mortars have you brought in total?" After recovering from the shock, Commander Yang had a huge surprise on his face. Then he stared at Wang Ping and confirmed again.
.
"There are twenty-seven in total, which can be equipped with three heavy mortar companies! In addition, the mortars are easy to transport and transfer, and they are also direct-fire artillery. The rate of fire is very fast. Preemptive strikes on the battlefield can achieve very large results, and they are very fast.
It is difficult to be locked and counterattacked by the Japanese heavy artillery troops!"
Commander Yang stared at Wang Ping and continued to ask: "These mortars are produced by our arsenal!"
The smile on Wang Ping's face disappeared immediately, and was replaced by hesitation.
Commander Nie next to him said very understandingly: "Lao Yang, you forgot about the confidentiality option. Isn't it embarrassing for Wang Ping to ask him like this?"
"You are a senior cadre of our Eighth Route Army. I can tell you that general ammunition, rifles, machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and the heavy mortars you see can be produced in arsenals!"
"If my guess is correct, Wang Ping is now leading a team to attack mountain artillery and field artillery, trying to get these two kinds of artillery out!"
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Wang Ping has brought the heavy artillery battalion. You can give orders on how to arrange it. You directly command the battle. I will only watch and not participate!"
"Yes, Commander!" The excited Commander Yang answered with confidence as he felt more confident.
The battle started because of an ambush.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the escorting Japanese planes waved their wings and said hello to the ground troops as usual before departing.
However, the mighty Japanese and puppet troops did not stop. They still had to drive for half an hour to reach their temporary station tonight.
