Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

Looking at the four mortars, Li Yunlong almost drooled.

They looked good no matter how he looked at them.

Back in the New First Regiment, Li Yunlong managed to get a Type 31 60mm mortar, and he treasured it immensely. Fortunately, that mortar allowed Wang Chengzhu to eliminate Colonel Sakata with two shots, otherwise Li Yunlong's frontal breakthrough would have been a joke.

After arriving at the Independent Regiment, there were no cannons and only a few heavy machine guns. In terms of heavy firepower, Li Yunlong only slightly alleviated his thirst when Ren Zhong created the flying thunder cannon.

However, the flying thunder cannon's pathetic range and cumbersome pre-launch preparations were enough to drive people crazy. It was only because there was really nothing else to attack the blockhouses that Li Yunlong and the others treated the flying thunder cannon as a treasure.

But in positional warfare, the flying thunder cannon was almost useless, unable to accompany the infantry to strike at enemy fire points and suppress the opponent.

Now, the Independent Regiment no longer lacks guns and ammunition, and the individual quality of the soldiers has also greatly improved due to the opportunity for live ammunition training. In terms of marksmanship alone, almost everyone in the current Independent Regiment can be considered an elite.

Not to mention the perverts in the sniper squad, each of whom has transformed into a sharpshooter after the rotation battle in Heyuan. With a four-power scope, they can hit the target eight or nine times out of ten within a range of four or five hundred meters.

The individual combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment can be said to be the strongest team Li Yunlong has led since joining the army.

Of course, the Second and Third Battalions of the current Independent Regiment have not fought any tough battles yet. The First Battalion suffered a great loss at the hands of Colonel Yamamoto's commando team, but after Zhang Dabiao took over, he pulled up a company of elite soldiers who were tempered in Heyuan.

It can be said that Li Yunlong is now eager to have a few cannons. With mortars, the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment will not simply improve by 1+1. If they can suppress the infantry guns and grenade launchers of the Japanese devils' brigade, Li Yunlong dares to lead the Independent Regiment to fight a Japanese elite brigade head-on!

It's not that Old Li has become arrogant, but now the Independent Regiment has a regular establishment, and all but the First Company taken away by Zhang Dabiao have more than 1,500 people, each of whom has strict live ammunition training opportunities. The establishment of a Japanese brigade is usually around 1,100 people. If the soldiers' marksmanship is similar, if they exchange artillery advantages, Li Yunlong would rather kill himself by running into a wall if he can't beat the Japanese devils with 400 more people.

"Old Ren, can you get more of these mortars? For example, get him a mortar artillery battalion?" Li Yunlong said with a grin.

"Old Li, you really dare to think. The brigade commander's artillery battalion is not even fully staffed yet, and you dare to think about getting an artillery battalion in the Independent Regiment. Are you a little swollen?" Ren Zhong looked at Li Yunlong with a smile that was not a smile.

"Hehe, isn't it because we have this condition, and we can get the moon first when we are close to the water? Old Ren, I don't want this gun. See if you can get people to get more of these mortars. Not to mention anything else, it's just exciting to look at! Bang, bang, bang, a large number of Japanese devils die!" Li Yunlong didn't care at all, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. When it came to getting things, Old Li didn't care about face at all.

He looked at Ren Zhong with a look of eagerness, as if Ren Zhong must have a way.

"Hey, Old Li, you really want to rely on me, aren't you afraid that the brigade commander will congratulate you on making a fortune?" Ren Zhong remained noncommittal, making Li Yunlong feel like ants were scratching his heart. It seemed like there was a chance, but Old Ren wouldn't let go, and Li Yunlong didn't have anything good to impress Ren Zhong.

"Old Ren, you really have a way. How about this," Li Yunlong scratched his head, "Next time we fight the Japanese devils and get a command saber, Old Li won't report the credit, and I'll leave one for you to play with."

"Really?" Ren Zhong didn't expect Li Yunlong to draw a pie for himself. "If you can help me get a general's saber, I can get you a real artillery battalion without any problem."

"General's saber?" Li Yunlong was dumbfounded. Was this something that his mere Independent Regiment could get involved in? "If you don't give it, then don't give it. Old Ren, what are you kidding me? I'm afraid it will be difficult for our Eighth Route Army to deal with a brigade."

However, before the upcoming major counterattack, a mortar company of 4 mortars plus 2 mortar platoons for each battalion is something that can be expected.

Although Ren Zhong can bring 6 mortars at a time now, with the processing capacity of a machine tool in Yangcun, it would be good if he could get 2 mortars a week. In this way, he can get at most 8 mortars a month. From now until the start of the war, it will be 4 months at most. No matter how many mortars Ren Zhong brings here, he can only get 32 mortars.

Of course, Ren Zhong estimates that he can get about 6 more machine tools in these 4 months. If skilled workers can keep up, he can squeeze out 80 mortars at most by increasing the speed by two units per month.

And these cannons must be distributed to more than a dozen regiments around the headquarters. Li Yunlong can get the moon first when he is close to the water. At most, he can get 4 cannons for training at the beginning, that is, he can get the last 6 cannons completed by Yangcun Military Industry on the eve of the major counterattack.

Of course, Ren Zhong will not tell Li Yunlong these words first, so as not to make this guy show off.

After all, for the Eighth Route Army, in an era when a regiment can brag about having one cannon, even the brigade commander dare not imagine that a regiment has ten mortars!

The structure of a mortar is relatively simple, and there is no other like it. Ren Zhong had already obtained a complete set of drawings of the Type 20 mortar, and a batch of matching scopes were also purchased from the main plane. Therefore, after Gao Kaiming and the others got the information and accessories, they were overjoyed and started processing and casting day and night.

Of course, Ren Zhong did not let the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle be completely neglected. The core parts have been solved. The remaining spare parts can be manufactured by themselves in this world after there are machine tools. Ren Zhong also arranged for people to choose a non-stop machine method in processing.

Although Old Li looks down on it now, Ren Zhong is looking forward to Old Li saying it smells good when the real gun comes out!
