Chapter 638: The Main Artillery of the Future
Liu Lang is actually struggling.
Although he knocked his subordinates with the help of telling about the gap in military strength between Germany and Japan, Liu Lang could not say that he did not consider their demands at all.
In the battle of the Great Wall, the independent regiment can be said to have exposed a lot of problems, and what the subordinates said was right. Especially Zhao Ergou's artillery company, don't look at Liu Lang scolding this two-skinned face for a long time, but in fact, what he said is very right, the independent regiment does not develop artillery, and it may not matter much to fight against a Japanese field wing with similar military strength in the field, but what if it is a brigade twice as large as itself?
If the Japanese army knew that the opposite side was an independent regiment, it would never have sent its own artillery wing to the independent regiment for a sneak attack.
Only when artillery can compete with the Japanese army can the independent regiment fight and win the battle against the enemy's brigade and regimental combat units in the field. As for a division, an independent regiment can naturally run as far as it can, do you think that more than 20,000 people in a division of the first class are muddy? Liu Lang just distributed 95 assault infantry plus a single walkie-talkie and a bulletproof vest to the entire independent regiment, and he didn't have that confidence. The power of dozens of 150-caliber howitzers is definitely not something that a makeshift field fortification alone can withstand.
In the Battle of the Great Wall, if it weren't for the Eighth Division, which was too arrogant and didn't understand the situation, it attacked Luo Wenyu's strong mountain fortifications and broke the bloodshed, and finally Liu Lang hid an elite for 8 days to blow up his heavy artillery brigade with a heroic sacrifice that was almost completely wiped out, how could the Eighth Division fall to such a point? That was the ending that Liu Lang had never thought of before the war. In his former vision, the Independent Regiment was consumed by strong fortifications and the Eighth Division, just like the former Five Holy Mountains, where the red soldiers almost drained the blood of the American cowboys. That flesh mill is an unspeakable pain for the Chinese and American militaries.
But if you want to expand the artillery, it's not like Zhao Ergou said that increasing the number of personnel and increasing the number of mountain artillery is simply done, the general establishment of the independent regiment is there, how much mountain artillery can you equip? Suppression could not be formed, and the infantry still had to bear huge casualties.
What's even more worrying is that although the Bofors mountain artillery has excellent performance and is relatively mobile compared with other mountain artillery in China, it still needs more than eight mules and horses to carry it, which is not conducive to long-distance marching and evasion from air attacks.
Liu Lang knows better than anyone that the biggest advantage he took in the Battle of the Great Wall was not Fan Huang of the Eighth Division, but the weather. Bad weather meant that the Japanese planes had to stop at the airfield instead of dropping bombs above the positions of his independent regiment.
Otherwise, Liu Lang would not have had the courage to chase out the Great Wall Mountain Range and kick the butt of the Eighth Division, and a 200-pound aerial bomb could destroy everything within a radius of 200 meters. Liu Lang has never been in the habit of exchanging soldiers' lives for military merit medals.
In order for the artillery of the Independent Regiment to be able to suppress the opponent's mountain artillery and howitzers and be more mobile, it is no longer enough to rely on Bofors, the best mountain artillery that can be found on the market so far. Liu Lang tried his best to search in his mind.
Suddenly, looking at Liu Lang who wanted to break his head in the distance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a kind of cannon appeared in Liu Lang's mind.
A black technology developed by the future republic after 30 years can fully meet all the needs of Liu Lang for the artillery of the Independent Regiment now, and it can even be said that it is simply tailor-made for the Independent Regiment.
Liu Lang involuntarily "laughed".
"Young Master, do you want to be a young lady?" While handing Liu Lang tea, Sanchuan'er asked cautiously.
"What do you mean?" Liu Lang's face froze.
"The 。。。。。 you just laughed at" Sanchuan'er couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The subtext is obvious, young master, you are laughing so much!
"Gua Wazi, Lao Tzu was thinking about the cannon just now." Liu Lang scolded with a smile.
"Oh, shoot the guns!" Sanchuan Er smiled cheaply.
As soon as she finished laughing, Sanchuan'er looked frightened, "Ouch, it's not good, young master, young lady is running." ”
Liu Lang turned his head and saw Ji Yanxue's figure flash away at the gate of the small courtyard.
I'll go, Liu Lang almost didn't vomit blood, this special mother, even if he fell into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it away. But, Lao Tzu is really thinking about the cannon! Is this the bastard who passed on the stalk of Lao Tzu's joke Zhao Ergou hitting a cannon?
Liu Lang felt that he would no longer be able to use new terms in the future to pretend to be forced in front of these "old-timers" of the Republic of China, many words, they are talking more than Liu Lang now.
Look! Lieutenant Colonel Ji now understands what that means.
"People, it takes tens of thousands of years to learn civilization, but if you want to learn hooligans, you can learn it in a few days." Liu Lang could only sigh to the sky speechlessly.
"Young master, what are you called a hooligan?" Sanchuan'er is very studious.
"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, now, right now." Liu Lang pointed to the courtyard and said coldly.
"Okay! Okay! If you don't say it, you won't say it, why are you angry! Didn't you just want the young lady to be discovered! The sixteen-year-old pouted and reluctantly went to the yard.
Liu Lang slapped his forehead in fear. This may be the price of being the head of the regiment, not to mention a group of unconscious big-headed soldiers, and there is a mouthy little orderly to block him.
He kind of understood why the captain had a black face every day, and now he couldn't laugh anymore. The chiefs of all walks of life are still waiting for him to come out with the compilation report!
Although he basically had a general framework in mind, if the main artillery of the artillery unit of the most important heavy firepower independent regiment could not be determined, then his ambition of fighting a 7,000-man brigade of the Japanese army alone in a field battle would be frustrated, and the establishment of this infantry battalion and company would not be able to do so.
With his mind decided, he ordered the little orderly, who was still reluctant to do push-ups in the yard, and asked him to go to Ye Qisun and Xiong Zhen and others.
And Liu Lang himself found the drawings and carefully drew the gun Xianzai in his memory.
More than half an hour later, when Comrade Lao Ye came in with three proud disciples, Xiong Zhen and Qian Wei and Peng Qiang, Liu Lang was comfortably smoking a cigarette and looking at the drawings he had drawn to admire.
"Professor Ye is here, please be seated, please be seated." Liu Lang hurriedly stood up to greet Ye Qisun, who had obviously lost a little weight for more than a month.
"Head Liu, what's the matter you can't call and say? I have to go on a trip by myself. The design drawings of the Soviets' machine gun you gave us the day before yesterday, and we're still discussing the feasibility with Dr. Grunov! But! Where did you get this Dr. Grunov, what a nice, very thoughtful person. As soon as Ye Qisun entered the door, he didn't give Liu Lang face at all, and complained first.
"Hehe, Professor Ye, a few classmates, sit down first. If it's not an important matter, I dare to disturb you, there is a very urgent matter to discuss with you. Liu Lang laughed and let Comrade Lao Ye sit down at the conference table.
"Oh? Then I'm interested. You Liu Tuanzuo has always had something to say, I think, there must be some new weapons and equipment! Tell me, it's from that cottage again? When Ye Qisun heard Liu Lang say this, a little smile appeared on his face.
Since the Soviet-style machine gun drawings given by Liu Lang were described as pirated, Ye Qisun was quite impressed by this word, and immediately learned and used it.
"Hehe, take a look at this, although it is a copycat, I dare to guarantee that as long as it can be successfully developed, it will definitely be better than blue." Liu Lang smiled lightly and put the drawings he had drawn in his memory after spending most of the day in front of Comrade Lao Ye and the three future great scientists.
No matter what the thing, we Chinese cottage ability to say second, who dares to say first? Liu Lang, who came from the future, definitely has this confidence. And the worst thing is that many times, the copycat is more powerful than the original.
Although it is a bit condescending to let a few scientists who made big bombs do this, Liu Lang didn't have the time to make that big guy for them! Let's let them practice with these gadgets first!
"What is this?" Comrade Lao Ye and the three future elites looked at the drawings laid out by Liu Lang on the table, and they were collectively dumbfounded.
It's a completely unheard of cannon! Although it looks like a cannon, have you ever seen such a style?
