After leaving those hard-working armored soldiers, Li Hui went straight to the Artillery Academy and sent staffs to the group of future "fire magicians". What 85mm cannon, 122mm cannon, 152mm cannon, 105mm howitzer, 122mm howitzer, 152mm howitzer, 82mm mortar, 120mm mortar, 140mm mortar, 160mm mortar, 37 Millimeter double-barreled rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, 57mm anti-aircraft guns, 107mm rocket launchers, 122mm rocket launchers, more than a dozen models of all kinds, various calibers, and various types of big bombing waves are available. Their eyes were dazzled, and they cheered excitedly around the cannons.
But after cheering, I was dumbfounded - because no one would use it! Not to mention the students who just transferred from the infantry, there are several types of these cannons, and even the artillery instructors who are Japanese and returned from the Soviet Union have never seen it. These old artillerymen thought they were teaching the students how to use mortars, mountain cannons, and jogging. Who would have thought that the guy called "God of Wealth" would get these big guys with multiple calibers and thicker waists? , is this fucking going to open an artillery museum?
? ? ? ? How did they know that this was the result of Li Hui's thousands of choices, otherwise our army's artillery lineup, which is called "the strongest on the surface" in the future, would only get these dozen models.
After all, Li Hui is a half-expert. Considering the bad traffic conditions in this era, when he was selecting artillery, the first thing he thought of was that the artillery must be light in weight, and it must be easy to move and deploy quickly in complex terrain. Of course, because the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army are still rookies, simple operation and durable leather are also essential elements.
Like the 82-force, 120-force, 160-force and 107mm rocket launchers, which are light in weight and powerful, and have been equipped with a large number of gadgets in the Shandong Military Region and the New Fourth Army, Li Hui naturally placed a large number of orders directly. He planned to equip these gadgets to the battalion-level troops. In addition, Li Hui also purchased a large number of Type 76 mortars with a caliber of 140 mm. Although the power of this type of mortar is not as good as that of the 160 mm, the difference is not too much, and its total combat weight is only 990 kg. It is lighter, has a longer range, and a higher rate of fire. Li Hui intends to use it as a substitute for the 160mm and equip it for troops operating in mountainous areas.
When selecting large-caliber artillery for division and regiment-level troops, Li Hui chose the Type 56 85mm cannon, the Type 83 122mm howitzer, and the Type 54 152mm howitzer in consideration of the above factors.
These three guns are very light. The 56-type 85mm cannon weighs only 1.7 tons and can be run by two horses. The heaviest 54-type 152mm howitzer has a combat weight of only 3 tons. Compared with the artillery of the same caliber, it is more than half lighter.
However, in order to reduce its weight, many things were simplified during the design of the 83-type 122mm howitzer and the 54-type 152mm howitzer, which made it easy for these two guns to appear when moving in areas with complex terrain. Fault. This means that it was difficult for these two types of guns to fight in mountainous areas or southern jungle areas under the traffic conditions at the time.
? ? Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the troops fighting in the mountains and in the south, Li Hui specially purchased a batch of 105 howitzers as a substitute. Our army did not have such caliber howitzers. "Patients", there are a lot of big guys with great power and long range, and they don't look down on such medium-caliber tasteless ribs. It wasn't until the 1990s that our army adopted the Italian gun ribs to meet the combat needs of the military forces. A batch of old-fashioned m56 howitzers have been imitated. The military industry department of our army, whose genetic modification has penetrated into the bone marrow, has made a lot of improvements to the cannon during the imitation process, so that its total weight is only 1.5 tons, and it can be broken down into more than ten components. Under complex terrain, the artillery can quickly disassemble it, transport it to the designated location by manpower or animal power, and then assemble it. In addition to being easy to transport, in terms of performance and power, this artillery follows the consistent characteristics of our army's artillery: excellent performance and powerful power. It can be described as a model of durable leather and a large explosion.
? ? ? ? As for the artillery of the corps and even the group army, Li Hui chose the Type 60 122mm cannon, the Type 86 152mm cannon and the Type 90a 122mm rocket launcher.
Needless to say, the cannon, whether it is the relatively old 60-type 122mm cannon, or the leader of the towed artillery of our army in later generations: the 86-type 152mm cannon, its performance and power are absolutely nothing to say, even if it is placed in the world , is also the first choice for military artillery. The range of these two types of artillery is more than 25 kilometers, and the effective killing area can reach at least 800 square meters. This is still using conventional ammunition. If arrow shells are used, the killing area of ????a single shot will exceed 8000 square meters Square meters, yes! You read that right! That's 8,000 square meters?, that is to say, after the arrow shells containing nearly 20,000 steel arrows explode, two or even three steel arrows will be shot on every square meter of land.
If used in conjunction with scouts, just a round of salvos from more than a dozen cannons can completely maim enemy regiment-level troops who are marching more than 20 kilometers away, which can be called a nightmare for infantry.
However, if we want to talk about this real infantry nightmare, we have to say that it is the Type 90a 122mm rocket launcher, which is mounted on a 6-wheel off-road truck and has 40 rocket launch tubes. Boom.
The 90a-type 122mm rocket launcher has a range of 20 kilometers. Once it fires, it can smash all the 40 large-caliber rocket launchers it carries on the enemy's head within a dozen seconds. Its firepower coverage can reach 3 square kilometers. If a dozen cannons can only incapacitate an enemy regiment-level unit, then a round of salvos from an eighteen-gun rocket artillery battalion can almost wipe out that regiment, and its ferocity can be called frenzied.
It doesn¡¯t need much, each army only needs to equip one rocket launcher battalion, then when fighting again, the little devils on the opposite side can only choose to escape. The steel purgatory that followed would make them immediately understand the price of making the wrong choice.
In addition to these large numbers of big killers, Li Hui, in line with the principle of carrying out the bombing idea to the end, bought a large number of various types of shells for each type of artillery, such as high-explosive grenades, high-explosive incendiary bombs, white phosphorus bombs, arrows, etc. The shotgun shells are bought back from warehouses, and considering the poor shooting accuracy of old-fashioned artillery, Li Hui also specially asked Fang Jianping to install laser guidance devices on some shells of various calibers and types. mm rockets are no exception.
? ? ? ? "Li Caishen, oh no! Minister Li! These big guys are for us?" The principal of the artillery school looked at the black barrels with disbelief. This principal is also a big shot, but his previous position was not as high as that of Xu Luohua. Although he has not received formal training, he is also an old artilleryman who has played with artillery for half his life, but he has used the largest caliber artillery before. It is only the Japanese-made Type 91 105 field artillery captured by the 115th Division at Pingxingguan, and there are not many shells. The first time he saw so many big-caliber guys appearing in front of him, he couldn't get used to it for a while.
"Of course! These are for your teaching. Each model has 3 doors, which is enough for hundreds of students to learn at the same time. After you train new instructors and expand the enrollment scale, I will increase the number of artillery pieces for you in proportion. Quantity. Of course, your task is also very arduous, you must train 5,000 qualified artillerymen within one year, and after two years, more than 10,000 students will graduate from your academy every year!"
"This so many people!" the principal said in surprise.
"I'm afraid this is not enough. You also know that our troops are being reorganized. In the new organizational system, the company and battalion will increase the artillery establishment. The division and regiment will have artillery regiments and artillery battalions directly under them. In the future, With the expansion of the establishment, there will be artillery brigades and even artillery divisions, so the demand for artillery will be very large!"
The matter of reorganization was listed as a top secret by the central government. The principal of the artillery school did not know the specific details before. Hearing Li Hui's words at this time, this man who has been bullied by the enemy's artillery for more than ten years and has seen countless comrades being attacked by fierce artillery fire The old artillery soldier who was blown into meat was surging in his heart, his grandma, our Eighth Route Army has completely changed its guns, and we can finally form our own artillery unit!
Taking advantage of the principal's feeling, an artillery instructor who returned from the Soviet Union asked: "Minister Li, this gun is enough, but there are several kinds of guns in it, and this is the first time we have seen it. If you don¡¯t know how to use it, how can you teach students!¡¯
"The information and instructions about these artillery pieces will be delivered by someone in a short while! Now, let me give you a brief introduction!" Li Hui pointed to the 85mm cannons and began to say: "This is the Type 56 85mm cannon , with a total weight of less than two tons, an artillery squad can easily disassemble them and run on their backs, no matter whether it is a mountain or a jungle, as long as the infantry can go, it can go. But despite its lightness, its power is not small at all. The high-explosive bomb it uses has an effective killing range of 300 square meters, but the shooting range is a bit short, only 6.6 kilometers! So I prepare this kind of artillery, medium and large caliber mortars, and 107mm rocket launchers for use by troops below the regiment level! '
"What about those big guys?" The instructor said, pointing to the guns with a caliber above 120 mm.
? ? ? "Those crazy guys who opened fire are of course used as direct firepower at the army and division level!" Li Hui said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
