"Hmm? Bofos 75 mountain cannon."

I remember that this cannon was also equipped in the National Government Army, and there were several in Yu Xiaoqing's cannon regiment.

Liao Mingyu was mixed with joy and sorrow. Although it was far from what he expected, this cannon also has its uniqueness.

"Ding... The government introduced the m1922 model that year, and this time it was selected from the improved 24-diameter m1934 model of Bofors. Compared with the prototype, the diameter has increased, and its range has been slightly improved.

Use a separate ammunition supply, with a maximum range of 10.2 kilometers and a maximum rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute. The weight is 800 kg, and the unit price is exchanged: 300 points."

Liao Mingyu nodded to express his understanding. He had seen the introduction of this mountain cannon in a magazine before. As the main support weapon of the Kuomintang army in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, it was very legendary on the Chinese battlefield. It can be said to be one of the best mountain cannons in the world at that time.

Compared with conventional field guns or cannons, mountain guns usually adopt a lightweight design, have a large elevation angle, and can be decomposed into several parts groups for convenient logistics transportation.

The biggest feature of this gun is its high accuracy and long range. Although it uses separate loading, it can reach a range of 10 kilometers when fired with maximum charge.

You should know that the Japanese Type 41 mountain cannon's maximum range is only about 6 kilometers, and the Bofos 1934 type is almost as good as the field cannon of the same caliber in terms of range.

Moreover, this guy is extremely accurate as a mountain cannon. Compared with the Japanese 41 mountain cannon, which has always been better, the accuracy is more than 50%. The accuracy of the direct aim can be achieved in the hands of experienced artillery soldiers, which is simply called a sniper rifle in the mountain cannon.

Although the tonnage is relatively heavier than ordinary mountain cannons, Bofos can be quickly disassembled into eight to ten parts and transported away quickly by mules and horses. It has high mobility and is very suitable for the battlefield in western Yunnan with complex terrain and backward transportation.

Such 75mm caliber artillery with a long range, high accuracy, and easy to transport can fully bear all the heavy responsibility of regiment-level fire support.

With super high accuracy, even under-trained artillery can use this kind of artillery to perform a good hit rate. The weapons of the artillery battalions of the three main regiments are considered to be considered as the result of the weapons.

The only drawback is that this kind of gun is just a mountain gun after all, and there is still a certain gap in power compared with other heavy guns, and it cannot undertake large-scale cover and support tasks.

But as a regiment-level artillery weapon, there are 105 and 155 large-scale artillery battles, so it doesn't need to worry about it.

Liao Mingyu thought about it and decided to improve the artillery troops first. In addition to the regiment-level artillery battalion, the division-level heavy artillery support firepower must also be increased.

Now that I have money, I can finally get rid of my arms. I simply exchanged for 36 Bofos Mountain Cannons, 12 105 howitzers and 4 155 howitzers, plus 18 German-made Pak37 war defense cannons. This war defense cannon was an unexpected weapon unlocked when shooting the South Sky Gate, which was used to make up for the shortcomings of the troops' direct aim weapons.

In this way, the division's artillery regiment had 24 105 caliber and 12 155 caliber howitzers, which completely crushed a Japanese artillery corps in heavy firepower.

The three regiment artillery battalions also have 12 75-caliber mountain cannons and 6 37 war defense cannons respectively. In addition to various mortars at each company-level, the firepower configuration is perfect.

The next step is to increase the training of artillery soldiers and improve the baggage force, which is also the main reason why Liao Mingyu wanted to expand the transportation regiment and the engineering regiment at the beginning.

The firepower has to keep up with the logistics and transportation capacity, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward in the mountains and trees of western Yunnan and Myanmar.

At the same time, the materials consumed by the troops must be solved. Liao Mingyu exchanged 2 million bullets, 100,000 shells of various calibers, fifty heavy trucks and fifty tons of gasoline.

There are also a series of explosive detonators, minesweepers, engineer shovels, construction tools and other military supplies, as well as medicines, as well as some new military uniforms, bedding, tents and other supplies.

Although the things behind were supplied with the top, the quality and quantity were worrying, Liao Mingyu adhered to the idea of ​​using the best when he wanted to use his troops. They were basically supplied by the system, which was easy to use and practical.

"Ding... All materials have been exchanged successfully, with a total of 135,667 points spent, remaining points: 65,091 points."

Damn, the more you earn, the more you spend. Looking at the points column that suddenly shrank by most of the time, Liao Mingyu felt sad and helpless.

Now the size of the troops is larger than before, and the materials required are also increased exponentially. He spent 10,000 points on gasoline alone. This is how he took the elite troops route. Otherwise, according to ordinary standards, it would be no problem for him to arm two armies now.

"System Master, you have to make good arrangements for such a huge number, don't be robbed halfway!" Liao Mingyu said angrily. He didn't want to make any more trouble.

"Ding...Don't worry, there will be no problem with me, but with your current reputation, I'm afraid no one will dare to rob. The commander of the army is killing people who dare to be so unhappy?"

"Haha..." Liao Mingyu was extremely ashamed. This dog would make fun of people. If he was asked to upgrade, he would probably have a big change in a living person.

After doing all this, Liao Mingyu hurriedly withdrew from the system because he had to patrol the troops today. He didn't know how those guys were doing after so many days.

...

In the north of Longling, there is a small river called Longjiang on the only way to Tengchong. The river is not wide but winding. There are dense jungles and rocks on both sides, and only a small bridge connects the two sides.

Long Wen and Meng Fanle led the first main team to set up defense along Longjiang and confronted the 113th Regiment in Tengchong.

This group of Japanese troops was also interesting. They were originally planning to move to Gaoligong Mountain, but for some reason they suddenly changed their route and drove southward.

Finally, they stopped north of Longjiang and looked across the river with Longwen and others, neither attacking nor retreating, and they didn't know what they were selling in the gourd.

"Every day, I just watched the turtle grandchildren swaying in that forest, and I was almost free to get out of the birds!"

Long Weng put a weed in his mouth and put it on the sandbag, looking at the woods on the other side and said unhappily, which made him feel as if he was back to Zenda sighing at the turtle shell in Takeuchi every day.

"Satisfied, you, I have to take a group of old men to climb mountains every day. Who have I ever complained to? Oh... I can't do it anymore. If I continue to practice like this, my legs will be lame."

Meng Fanle sat beside him and rubbed his thighs that had been working hard for several days. According to the instructions of the genitals, he would lead a battalion soldiers to conduct 15 kilometers of armed cross-country every day.
