Bai Shujie is always in a hurry to do things. As soon as the idea of the heavy artillery regiment was conceived, Xiao Lamei immediately asked Xiao Lamei to draft a telegram, ordering the troops in Chifeng, Fuxin, Chaoyang, Lingyuan, Duolun, Luanping, Jinxi, and Suizhong to immediately hand over the scrapped truck chassis, steel rims, and tires, and order them to be sent to Chengde within one month.

Although I don't know what nerves the commander-in-chief has, the division commanders such as Zhang Xiang, Hou Zide, Lan Caiqin, Han Qingfen, and Chen Junda dare not take it lightly. Since it was the commander-in-chief who personally ordered it, these division commanders must have personally taken command, changed careers and became the boss of collecting rags, and turned the local scrapyard upside down.

Chen Junda is currently in charge of the security work of the Luanping Development Zone, and naturally the building near the water is the first to get the month, greeting those merchants who come and go from the south to the north, and buying car tires at a high price. Of course, it would be better if there was a complete vehicle for sale. If you send gasoline over, the price will be increased by 30%!

Chen Junda has been a cadre under Bai Shujie since Daqingshan. When the first infantry company was formed, he was the deputy platoon commander of the first infantry platoon! Therefore, Bai Shujie's character is the clearest: "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!" ”

The Rehe Front is not bad for money, everyone knows it. Because of this, Chen Junda already smelled a certain conspiracy from Bai Shujie's order, so he creatively put forward the demand of "purchasing cars and gasoline at a high price", which is the strategic vision of a senior commander.

The so-called "see the small to know the things, smell one to know ten." "That's right.

Soldiers are naturally resolute in handling affairs. Bai Shujie asked for a month, and it only took nine days for the following troops to send the first batch of steel rings and tires to the Chengde Summer Resort, and the total number had exceeded 2,000.

Bai Shujie was extremely happy at first when he saw the mountains of steel rings. Unexpectedly, the guard battalion with Xiao Lamei cleaned up for a long time, only to find that the situation was not ordinarily bad!

It turns out that there are not only car tires of little devils, but also Americans, Russians, Germans, and even British and French! The only problem is that it's hard to find two of the same rims!

"Lao Tzu is really a pig's head!" Bai Shujie secretly scolded in his heart: "Where do you have your own things at this time, the production of high-tech things like automobiles, for a big country in China, it is even more mysterious than myths!" In addition, the great powers carved up China, the motherland has not yet been truly unified, and all kinds of products are naturally the World Expo! ”

Xiao Lamei was very interested at first, but after half a day, she transferred all the female soldiers away, and asked the deputy battalion commander Tan Mingliang to follow Bai Shujie with a group of old men.

Zuihou had no choice, Bai Shujie had no choice but to ask Tan Mingliang to pull out a brother of the company, separate all the steel rings, and then slowly look for the same to classify. Because he himself has more important things to deal with, it is impossible for Lang Fei to move these iron lumps here.

What is he going to do?

The first one is the bearing! The manufacturing industry in the thirties was really not good, and the level of smelting and craftsmanship was very poor. If you don't find a strong bearing, even if you install the heavy artillery, it will not be safe to fight in the field. When crossing the ditch, if the bearing is broken, it is called the day should not be, and the earth is not spiritual!

Therefore, he took another company and dismantled the chassis of the scrapped car. Then all the bearings are combined for comparison and looking for suitable inventory.

The second one is the tires! When Bai Shujie was a soldier in his previous life, the artillery and the second artillery used vacuum solid tires, and now you will definitely not find the kind of "high-tech products" that will be decades later. If the tire is broken in the field, then it has to be repaired and inflated. For this problem, Bai Shujie must find a way to put an end to it.

One of the functions of tires is shock absorption, and the other is anti-slip. Bai Shujie didn't feel the need to use pneumatic tires, so he decided not to use inner tubes. Instead, according to the size of the underwire wheels, multiple layers of tires are used to overlap and then riveted. And it is riveted with bolts for easy replacement. Although the shock absorption effect has decreased by a third, the ability to resist blows has increased several times.

After a month of hard work, we finally got 100 sets of tires. At this time, Bai Shujie had no choice but to invite the master of the arsenal over, and transferred all 72 little devil 92 105mm field cannons from the secret arsenal, as well as 72 brand-new three-and-a-half-ton trucks.

The Type 92 105mm field cannon is a brand-new heavy artillery that has just been finalized by the little devils, and it has not yet had time to equip the troops. With a weight of 3730kg and a shell weight of 15.76kg, it is the longest-range army 4-inch cannon on the Shijie. It has a range of more than 18 kilometers without using long-range shells such as sub-caliber artillery shells and rocket artillery shells, and is known as invincible below 150mm caliber.

Bai Shujie now wants the masters of the arsenal to remove the original iron wheels of these brand-new cannons and replace them with car bearings and tires, while he himself is busy with other things.

Because the biggest problem with field heavy artillery is that it has high requirements for positions. If the soil layer is too soft, before each shot, the parameters must be corrected again, otherwise it will be all "empty cannons"! And when the car is walking, if it hits a muddy road, it can only take a long detour. How to solve this problem, he has been thinking about it.

After a period of hard thinking, he finally thought of the large-tonnage wheeled cranes in the previous life, all of which came with sleepers and backing plates. The truck, which is now used as a tractor, has an approved load of 3,580 kg, which is three and a half tons.

According to the 36 shells of a heavy artillery base, the weight is about 580kg, and with the packing wooden box, it should be about 750kg. With the addition of a base of 160kg of gasoline and related auxiliary equipment, the total weight is 1500kg, and there is a surplus of 2000kg.

Therefore, Bai Shujie believes that the tractor should carry its own sleepers and backing plates. In this way, even a heavy cannon can fight alone!

Regarding the transition order for the separation of man and artillery, Bai Shujie feels that the current war environment is not practical. There are many artillery units in history that lost battles because of the separation of man-artillery! That is, either the artillery arrived, and as a result the artillery did not come; Either the artillery arrived, and the artillery did not know where it was yet!

Even if a cannon arrives, it will take part in the battle! This is Bai Shujie's guiding ideology. Therefore, he has his own independent way of thinking about the configuration of the artillery regiment, as well as a future combat model, which is why he did not find the appointed artillery commander.

After half a month of secret processing by the workers, 72 Type 92 105mm field cannons were refitted. Bai Shujie invited Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong and others to the scene to observe, and they knew what Bai Shujie's previous order meant.

"See, the current heavy artillery can be called field artillery." Bai Shujie pointed to the sleepers in the tractor and said: "The sleepers are three meters long and 35 centimeters wide, with a total of 8. Together with the fasteners I designed, it can not only ensure that the car can pass through a deep ditch within 10 meters, but also be able to arrange the position at any time. Now I can say that our heavy artillery regiment can be officially formed. ”

Three days later, Zhao Dayong rushed to the headquarters of the summer resort, Bai Shujie showed him 72 heavy artillery, and then officially issued the appointment, along with the establishment table of the first heavy artillery regiment.

The First Heavy Artillery Regiment (2,638 people): Regiment Commander: Zhao Dayong, Artillery Commander: Lu Wanqing, Deputy Regiment Commander: Shen Guodong.

Heavy Artillery Battalion No. 1: Battalion Commander: Guo Dingbo, Deputy Battalion Commander: Ma Zhiqin Heavy Artillery Battalion: Battalion Commander: Liang Zhixian, Deputy Battalion Commander: Xiong Bozhou Heavy Battalion: Battalion Commander: Hu Yutian, Deputy Battalion Commander: Lin Chunkui Guard Battalion: Battalion Commander: Yang Shengbo, Deputy Battalion Commander: Sun Weide Heavy Artillery Battalion has jurisdiction over three artillery companies, each company has four artillery platoons, and each platoon has a Type 92 105mm field cannon. 12 heavy guns in the battalion and 24 heavy guns in the regiment. In peacetime, the defense was dispersed, and the campaign began to form attack clusters.

The baggage battalion had three companies, each with 12 supply trucks and 32 pack horses; The guard battalion has three companies: an armored heavy machine gun company, a light machine gun reconnaissance company, and an air defense company. In addition, it is equipped with 1,390 war horses, and non-Jishu personnel all act on horseback to ensure the mobility of the heavy artillery regiment.

The command order of the heavy artillery regiment is as follows: regiment commander - artillery commander - first battalion commander - second battalion commander - first company commander, and so on. The main task of the deputy regiment commander is to manage the communications company and coordinate with the headquarters and ground assault clusters; Directly command the baggage battalion and the guard battalion to provide security and material support for the heavy artillery battalion.

"Well, you're training about the same people, aren't you?" Bai Shujie saw Zhao Dayong staring at the fixed table silently, so he asked with some worry: "It's almost time, what's going on with you?" ”

"Uh, I didn't expect the detachment leader's heavy artillery regiment to look like this!" Zhao Dayong heard Bai Shujie's question, and then said: "No wonder the deputy regiment commander assigned to me by the detachment leader is from an infantry background, and I dare to love that my heavy artillery regiment can perform tasks alone, and there is no need to send another troops to protect it." So, I was just thinking about how we can make the most of the power of our mobile heavy artillery. ”

Bai Shujie nodded and said, "The guard battalion for you is fully mechanized." Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft company can deal not only with enemy aircraft, but also against enemy tanks, armored vehicles, and cavalry raids. Even this battalion, the two brigades of the little devils come up together, and they can't threaten your heavy artillery regiment. From today onwards, Lao Tzu's belongings are all on you. ”

"So, the task of you, the regiment commander, is to find the enemy's artillery position and destroy it! You can rest assured, the little devils are very poor, and field heavy artillery is rare. Now they are equipped with 105mm heavy guns of the Taisho 14th or 91 type, and the range is less than 11 kilometers, which is nearly 8 kilometers less than your 92 type. If you can't kill the little devil's heavy artillery like this, then you can simply kill yourself, so as not to trouble Lao Tzu! ”

Zhao Dayong was so stimulated by Bai Shujie that his face turned red: "Detachment leader, please rest assured, each platoon of our reconnaissance company has a miniature transmitter, I will not let them be idle in the future, just let me go out if I have nothing to do." If you can't take out the little devil's heavy artillery, I'll ask the deputy commander to come to you with my head! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
