Rebirth of the National Marshal

Let’s not talk about the security brigade commander for now. The Japanese have also stabilized their position at the first line of defense.

Takeshita Shun saw that it was impossible to gain any advantage by attacking with his own strength, and that his artillery had suffered heavy losses, so he could only rely on support from planes in the sky.

Mao Yuanshan also guessed that the reason why the Japanese stopped the attack was mainly because they were waiting for the planes to return for refueling and reloading.

Now the only thing he could use to deal with the planes was the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the jeep.

The support of the m2 heavy machine gun is retractable, and with a slight modification it can be turned into an anti-aircraft model. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mao Yuanshan quickly exchanged a large number of m2 heavy machine guns, and asked the clone soldiers to teach the soldiers below how to modify them into anti-aircraft types.

Even the people in the quartermaster regiment were wondering where the commander got so many large-caliber machine guns from. We didn't return to the warehouse in the capital.

Looking at the envious eyes of the Central Army soldiers nearby, Mao Yuanshan knew that he would have to rely on them in the future battle, so he sent them a dozen retired Maxim heavy machine guns.

"Commander, Zhang Zhenguo, the chief of staff of the 12th Division of the Central Army, is coming over." Sure enough, a man with the rank of major general came over from a distance. The division commanders of the Central Army are generally lieutenant generals, and the chiefs of staff are all major generals.

"Hello, sir! I'm Mao Yuanshan, the deputy commander of the Beijing Security Bureau." There's nothing you can do about it, a higher-ranking official can scare people to death.

"Okay, let's stop making such nonsense. I'm from the third class of Whampoa Military Academy, and we're all one family. Now that those outsiders from the Northwest Army are gone, let's be frank. You gave me the Maxim heavy machine gun, but I don't have that many machine gun bullets. The Japs should be waiting for an aerial bombing, and after they finish bombing our position there may be only a few people left." The man sat down with his arms and legs spread out.

In the eyes of the Whampoa clique of the Party-State, Mao Yuanshan was of course someone similar to them.

"Hurry up, immediately bring two carts of machine gun ammunition to the brothers of the 12th Division. Sir, I still have 30 Czech light machine guns here. If we concentrate them, they will serve as an anti-aircraft firepower." Mao Yuanshan had no choice but to send out another 30 Czech light machine guns. At that time, Japanese planes flew relatively low, so the Czech light machine guns were still very effective anti-aircraft tools.

"We are all family, and I can't take advantage of you. The main reason is that there is no place to give me a machine gun now. You can just write a note and go to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to claim reimbursement. If you can't hold on later, just run to my side and don't carry it." The last sentence was said in a low voice.

Before Mao Yuanshan could figure out what it meant, this guy went back with his guards, and of course took the weapons with him.

This old guy really thinks of himself as a villain who is here to take credit, but he also has good intentions and is more or less concerned about his own safety.

The brothers of the 12th Division of the Central Army were puzzled when they saw that the chief of staff visited the commander of the security regiment and brought back so many light and heavy machine guns. They thought that the security regiment was really generous. All these machine guns could form a ragtag brigade.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after resting, six bombers appeared in the south.

The Japanese devils were flying at a very low altitude, mainly because the Chinese army lacked effective air defense tools. Although the Czech light machine guns could temporarily play a role in air defense, the effect was too poor. Due to the low rate of fire, it was impossible to cause any substantial damage to Japanese aircraft. Of course, if more than a dozen machine guns were concentrated together, it would still be possible.

The pilots on the plane were talking loudly about where they would go to spend some money after returning. In their opinion, there was no danger to their lives. Didn’t they see that they didn’t even bring escort fighters? All they had to do was drop the bombs below on the battlefield and return.

"Everyone, pay attention. We have arrived at the bombing position. Follow me to dive and bomb." They first aimed at the position of the 12th Division of the Central Army.

Although they obtained 30 Czech light machine guns from Mao Yuanshan, the firing rate of the Czech light machine guns was too low and the caliber was not large. Even if they could hit Japanese planes, they could only penetrate a few holes and did not pose much of a hindrance to the Japanese flight.

However, the Japanese army was still somewhat wary because of these machine guns.

When these Japanese planes flew over the position of the 12th Division of the Central Army and headed towards the position of the Security Corps, a rain of bullets rose from the ground and directly stunned them.

"What's going on? How come these Chinese have so many machine guns, and large-caliber heavy machine guns at that." The pilot flying in the front had his wing blown up. These were the last words he uttered in his life.

Seeing the Japanese plane flying down with black smoke, the Chinese officers and soldiers on the position were excited. This was the first plane they had seen being shot down in many days.

The remaining five planes quickly increased their altitude, but one of them was hit on the tail because it was too slow.

He casually threw away all his bombs and prepared to use machine guns to fire at the position.

Mao Yuanshan personally planned hiding places for his soldiers. As long as a plane flew down, saving their own lives was the most important thing. However, it was different for the anti-aircraft soldiers. The jeeps they rode in droves, and moving targets were the most difficult to hit.

Although the four planes in the second wave of attack killed more than 100 soldiers of the security regiment, another plane went down with black smoke. The captain immediately ordered to return. More than 100 Chinese soldiers were exchanged for one Japanese plane. Mao Yuanshan felt very distressed, but in the eyes of the Japanese, they were the ones who suffered the most.

The Central Army also knew how difficult it was to shoot down planes during their training, but the soldiers of the Security Corps actually shot down two Japanese planes in just half an hour.

They only saw how the plane was shot down, but they did not see how dense the firepower was on the security regiment's position. There were 100 4mm large-caliber heavy machine guns within an area of ​​12.7 square meters.

This is as big as the battleships on the sea. If it weren't for the insufficient training of the security corps soldiers, and a group of technically savvy soldiers, these planes would have no chance of returning.

At this time, Mao Yuanshan thought of the number one machine gun in World War II, the German-made MG34 machine gun, nicknamed the Oil Cloth Teaser. The reason for this nickname is because its rate of fire is very high, and the sound of the bullets fired is the sound of tearing cloth.

But there is no way to unlock it yet.

Ding, the commander successfully took over the position of the 33rd Division of the Northwest Army and was rewarded with 10 merit points.

Ding, the commander successfully shot down two Japanese Type 10 bombers and was rewarded with merit points.

Ding, the 100mm mortar is unlocked successfully. The exchange price is 350 yuan, two yuan for one shell. Because during World War II, countries did not have 100mm mortars, the unlocked model is the Chinese pp millimeter mortar.

This stunned Mao Yuanshan. It turned out that the unlocked weapons were not only from the World War II period, but also from later times.

The PP89 100mm mortar was designed and put into mass production by China in 1989. It is a regimental artillery used to replace the 71-type 100mm mortar. It is the most advanced artillery in the 100mm mortar series. It was finalized and equipped to the troops in batches in 1989, providing indirect fire suppression firepower for infantry regiments and is very popular among the troops.

The shell has a maximum range of 6500 meters and weighs 8 kilograms. It has a firing rate of 15 rounds per minute. Because the explosives used are advanced explosives from 1989, people within the 30-meter radius of the explosion will basically be killed or injured. The entire artillery weighs only 73 kilograms.

Although it is different from the heavy artillery he expected, it is much higher than the current artillery.

"Sun Desheng has thrown all of your infantry artillery to the 12th Division on the opposite side." Mao Yuanshan would not use the old ones if he had new ones.

The range of the Type 3000 infantry gun is only 6000 meters, while our gun has a range of more than 3.8 meters. The shell of the Type 8 infantry gun is only kilograms, while the shell of our gun is kilograms. The exchange price is cheaper than that of the Type infantry gun, and the weight is much lighter. If we continue to use infantry guns, then we have something wrong with our brains.

"What the hell? Commander, we have more than 40 infantry guns here. Even though they are the Central Army, they have never seen so many infantry guns. Not to mention them, even the 86th and 88th Divisions' Wansui Army don't have these." Sun Desheng said a little depressed. In his previous military career, there have been cases where the Central Army seized the armed equipment of local troops.

"Look at how stingy you are. How did you get along with me? Do you think we are the ones who will suffer losses? You have been using these things for a while, so just give them to them directly. It's better to buy them at the original price and let the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs reimburse us later. Since I let you not use these, I want to give you something good. Call all the artillerymen to come here." Our Young Master Mao wanted to kick her. In fact, this can't be blamed on Sun Desheng. Sun Desheng was an artilleryman, and his feelings for artillery are naturally unimaginable to others.

"Commander, who are you fooling here? You gave us this artillery. Although the caliber is a little larger, it is still a mortar." In the eyes of orthodox artillerymen like Sun Desheng, infantry artillery is the real cannon. Although the caliber is a little smaller, it has a long range.

"Look carefully, kid. This is the shell of this cannon. Let your men shoot it quickly." In fact, our Young Master Mao didn't know the power of this mortar. He just read the introduction of the system. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, so we have to see the real situation.

If Sun Desheng had not seen the artillery shells, he would still have some hope. But when he saw such a big artillery shell, he lost interest all at once. Everyone has common sense that the artillery shells fired by mortars are very small. If they fire large artillery shells, the range will be even shorter. No matter what, this is not as good as the Type 92 infantry gun.

It basically takes five people to serve the Type 100 infantry gun, but for our mm mortar, four people are enough. When the war is more intense, three people will also be enough.

The 100mm mortar's aiming device is relatively advanced and can only be used by clone soldiers. It adjusts the elevation angle of the gun to the longest range.

"Fire." As this word came out of Sun Desheng's mouth, the artilleryman also released the 8-kilogram shell.

Everyone only felt a vibration around them. Sun Desheng was an experienced artilleryman. From this slight vibration, he could feel that the artillery had a long range.

Sure enough, when observed through a telescope, I found that it exploded about 7km away, and the accuracy was terrifying.

When they arrived near the explosion point, Sun Desheng observed carefully. If there were people within 30 meters around, they would have been killed by the explosion. What kind of explosives were used in this shell to have such a strong killing power?

Mao Yuanshan really wanted to tell them that this kind of explosives would only be available in the future, decades later.

But there is no point in telling them now, as this thing will not be available for many years. It is definitely advanced now.
