363. Prepare to transform heavy artillery
When Bai Shujie returned to the headquarters of the summer resort, the first thing he did was to summon Yang Guihua: "Guihua, after the major leak incident some time ago, how is your situation now, can our communication system still be kept secret?" ”
Yang Guihua nodded and said, "Detachment leader, rest assured, on the day of your assassination, we have already enabled the fifth set of passwords as daily correspondence. The battle order uses the sixth set of ciphers, and it is impossible for the little devil to react. ”
"Well, improve these passwords as soon as possible, and carry out a comprehensive purge of the members of the entire communication system." Bai Shujie lightly clasped the table with his right hand: "I don't want there to be a next time, no, there is no next time!" The little devils won't let us pass the level so easily! You can get busy, and by the way, help me call Xiao Lamei outside in. ”
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Xiao Lamei soon came behind Bai Shujie: "Aunt Lin has repeatedly explained, let you not worry too much recently, it will affect your physical recovery!" ”
Bai Shujie stared at the map on the wall and did not turn around, but said softly: "It's time to wait now, it's better to save your life first." Hurry up and record the order: The second division of Hou Zide's department immediately strengthened the vigilance of the Japanese army in Tongliao in the northeast and the king of the Xilin Gol League in the northwest, and reported the enemy situation as soon as it was discovered! ”
"The 1st Division under Zhang Xiang's command closely monitored the enemy situation on the front line of Jinzhou, Liaoyang, and Fengtian, and strictly prevented the enemy from taking air raids to attack our permanent fortifications, especially the weak links that had not yet been equipped in place. The 3rd Division under Lan Caiqin's headquarters closely monitored the enemy situation in Jinxi, Suizhong, and Tianjin, and once the enemy launched an attack from the sea, after a little resistance, he abandoned Jinxi and Suizhong, and all withdrew to the permanent fortifications. ”
Chen Junda, deputy commander of the independent militia division, temporarily presided over the overall work, and the three regiments under his command strengthened the vigilance on the first line of Gubeikou in the south and in the west. It was necessary to prevent the enemy from advancing north from Gubeikou, and at the same time to prevent the anti-Japanese allied forces in the west from abandoning their existing territory, causing the Sixth Division to take advantage of the weakness. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Shujie took the draft of the telegram and read it, and then said in a low voice: "Let Gan Tong inform Duolun that you must strengthen vigilance to prevent the little devils on the front line of Jining from suddenly attacking." In addition, let Jin Xi on the other side come over, I have something to ask her. ”
Zhao Jinxi was actually next door, Bai Shujie asked Xiao Lamei to pass the word, and naturally arrived soon: "Big brother, what's the matter, do you have to let the girl pass on a word?" Godmother won't let us bother you, don't exhaust yourself. ”
Bai Shujie said with a wry smile: "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask one thing, when will the third batch of compensation for the little devil arrive?" If you can't do it, send a telegram, Lao Tzu is really going to kill! ”
"I received a telegram the day before yesterday and arrived at Fuxin Station two days later." Zhao Jinxi's face was worried: "I also read the draft of the telegram you just now, and I really need to be prepared with both hands." I was worried that the little devil would take people away, so I would take immediate action. Especially this time most of them are shells, and in case they are bombed by planes, it is no joke. If you don't talk about it, the whole of Fuxin will be razed to the ground. ”
Bai Shujie nodded: "That's why I asked you this question, it's all urgent now, can I not worry about it." If, according to what you said, if the little devil gives us a moment, it will be a matter of how many thousands of people will be buried together! When I was in North China, you said that the little devil's aviation machine guns and aerial guns arrived, right? Where are they now? ”
Zhao Jinxi said in a low voice: "They are all in the secret arsenal of the Three Immortal Caves, and the number is huge, and they dare not let outsiders know. We all used the vehicles that transported the grain to bring it in slowly, and you sent a telegram not to modify it, so we all stopped. ”
"However, the little devil said that they don't have that many twin guns because they haven't been mass-produced yet. So they replaced it with 75mm Type 88 anti-aircraft guns, which were used in two-thirds of the warehouses. However, after our protest, the original number was increased from 120 to 180, and the ammunition was doubled. ”
Bai Shujie sat on the chair and thought carefully with his eyes closed, what the little devil said was basically true. The Type 99 twin aircraft gun is an air combat weapon prepared by the little devil for the later advanced fighters, which is also known as the "Zero fighter". However, this cannon was not made by the little devils themselves.
As for the Type 88 anti-aircraft gun, the rate of fire is too slow, and it will not be effective unless it is used in large quantities and intensively. Barrel length: 3312mm, pitch angle: 0-+85 degrees, azimuth range: 360 degrees, projectile weight: 6.54kg, projectile muzzle velocity: 720m/s, full gun weight: 2450kg, ground range: 16800m, anti-air range: 13800m, anti-air firing height: 9100m.
Since the situation has changed like this, Bai Shujie suddenly asked: "Has our railway construction started?" ”
Zhao Jinxi nodded: "Because the little devil has already built the roadbed before this, he is laying the track during this time." At present, the journey from Fuxin to Lingyuan has been completely penetrated, and our armored trains are parked on the marshalling tracks to provide fire support for Fuxin, Chaoyang, and Lingyuan. From Lingyuan to Pingquan, it may not be possible until the end of next month. ”
"Okay, you and Gan Tong immediately organize men and horses to replace all the original armored trains with Type 88 anti-aircraft guns, twelve guns each. A total of twelve columns were refitted, and a mobile air defense regiment was officially formed. Bai Shujie turned his hands around twice behind his back: "I don't ask them to shoot down many enemy planes, but they must be able to block the little devil's tank and armored vehicle raids." ”
Zhao Jinxi nodded: "We have already come up with a plan for this matter, since you have decided, we will immediately start to implement it." After all, our armored train turned out to have anti-aircraft guns, which were not so cumbersome to operate. Do you have any other commands? Otherwise, lie down and rest for a while. ”
Bai Shujie rubbed his hands and said, "I care about the problem of the artillery regiment, how is the training of Zhao Dayong and Lu Wanqing?" ”
"No, you gave them three months, and now it's only a month!" Zhao Jinxi shook his head and said: "Now we have completed the gunner training of each division and regiment, but the artillery sighters are not yet in place. Field artillery and mountain artillery below 75mm are okay, 105mm can barely fire, and 150mm heavy artillery has not yet started! ”
"It's not time, it's not time!" Bai Shujie let out a long sigh: "Then let's do it, let Zhao Dayong immediately take out a 75mm field artillery regiment for Lao Tzu, and then form a field artillery regiment for each main division according to this formation!" As for the heavy artillery regiment, it is also necessary to get a good grasp of it. We can't wait for the little devils to hit the door, we can't fire yet! ”
"Each main division has a field artillery regiment, big brother, you don't have a fever, do you?" Zhao Jinxi suddenly approached Bai Shujie, reached out and touched his forehead, and then touched his forehead: "Well, it's a fever, and the fever is not light, and I'm starting to talk nonsense!" ”
Is Bai Shujie easy to mess with? Seeing Zhao Jinxi standing on his own, he immediately hugged his hands and took Zhao Jinxi into his arms. Then a surprise attack that gagged her own mouth and parted a minute later!
"It's so troublesome to touch it with your hands, don't you think it's very simple?" Bai Shujie suddenly said seriously: "If there is no actual combat test, how can an artillery division be formed?" How can you threaten the little devils without a powerful artillery division? The garrison division should also form a field artillery regiment, with one battalion in Duolun and one battalion in Chifeng to strengthen the city's defense. Another battalion remained in Chengde as a reserve for Zuihou. The future heavy artillery regiment, directly under the command. ”
"Well, anyway, these cannons are also placed, and you can form two artillery divisions if you want." Zhao Jinxi said helplessly: "With these heavy artillery, although the power is huge, but to formulate a combat plan, it must be carried out around heavy artillery." I see how you move in the future, those heavy artillery are more than ten tons, and I can't move it. ”
"Heavy artillery is used for attacking fortified positions, and it is naturally not used in peacetime." Bai Shujie suddenly looked at the east and said: "Do you want Fengtian to be occupied by little devils forever, Lao Tzu will fight back sooner or later!" Now half of the heavy artillery is used for permanent fortifications, and the other half is left untouched for the time being, and good steel must be used on the blade! ”
Because of a preliminary impression, Bai Shujie also knew almost everything about his strength. In the next few days, he was very honest, except for looking at the combat map, he wrote and drew at the headquarters, and did not give Xiao Lamei and others any problems.
According to Bai Shujie's wishes, since the artillery regiment is to be formed, it must be genuine. Only cannons that can hit and walk are useful cannons, and those who squat in place are passive things.
Because the little devils have not yet occupied the South Asian region, there is no source of rubber. Therefore, the 105mm heavy artillery of this period turned out to be an antique iron wheel! The cannon itself was only a little more than two tons, but with the addition of iron wheels it became close to four tons. Not to mention the 150mm heavy gun, long-distance transportation is simply impossible!
Bai Shujie writes and paints, which is to calculate how to modify rubber tires. Once the modification is successful, the 180 trucks that extort the imps can be towed, and the mobility of the heavy artillery regiment can be greatly improved, and it can effectively support the infantry in combat.
Two types of 105mm cannon field guns, 1.8-3.7 tons, a total of 160 guns, ordinary trucks loaded with shells can also tow one out, than Lin Dashuai's four fields can be much more generous.
Lin Dashuai was the only front army with 21 105mm field cannons to form an artillery regiment at that time, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the whole army was also composed of these 21 heavy guns! The Liaoshen Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign, the Hainan Island Campaign, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, all of which this heavy artillery regiment participated in.
Because Bai Shujie had a car, he initially conceived a heavy artillery regiment, equipped with 24 105mm field cannons and equipped with 36 trucks. It has two artillery battalions, a baggage battalion and a guard battalion, with a total of 2,638 people. After the formation of five 105mm heavy artillery regiments, three were used for the three-sided focus defense and two for mobile operations.
As for the 150mm field cannon, which weighs nearly 11 tons, it can only be used as a fortress gun until it gets giant tires. Even if it is loaded on a train, although it can be transported, the huge vibration caused by the firing of the cannon will damage the railway embankment, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
