Chapter 283 Wang Chengzhu's Little Grievance
Li Yunlong asked each regiment to prepare and left him alone.
Looking at the aggrieved Wang Chengzhu, Li Yunlong frowned.
"Wang Chengzhu, who are you giving a cold shoulder to?"
Wang Chengzhu turned his face away, and his eyeballs fell down like pearls from a broken string.
"Commander, I can't understand why their divisions have battles to fight, but my independent column's artillery regiment has none! Also, you and Chief of Staff Wang don't keep your word!"
Wang Meng was stunned. He had been prepared to watch the fun and enjoy the show, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to suffer the consequences.
"Zhu Zi, why did you involve me in your feud with Lao Li?"
"Chief of Staff, you do have a share!"
Wang Meng thought about everything that had happened before and after he came to this world. He had never made promises to anyone, so how could he get a reputation as a person who doesn't keep his word?
No, Lao Wang won’t take the blame!
"Zhu Zi, what happened? Can you help me recall it?"
"Chief of Staff, do you remember that our independent column has no planes and our air defense depends entirely on our anti-aircraft guns?"
Wang Meng nodded, there was no doubt about that.
"That's true. You guys fought pretty well. I think you shot down about 20 planes in total. What's the matter?"
When Wang Chengzhu heard that someone had admitted it, he immediately wiped his nose.
"Chief of Staff, why don't you admit it? You said at the time that if you shot down a plane, you would be rewarded with a 150mm howitzer. You can't really forget that, right?"
Wang Meng slapped his forehead and finally remembered what happened. It was not unfair for him to take the blame.
"Zhu Zi, I am sorry for you. I really forgot about this matter."
When Li Yunlong saw that the trouble was diverted to others, he also started to watch Wang Meng's fun.
"You are a big staff officer, how could you forget such a big thing? And unlike me, I only owe people a pound or two of sweet potato cakes at most. You, my good fellow, owe them twenty cannons! When can you be an honest man like me?"
Wang Meng looked at Li Yunlong with contempt, saying that he was "cheating and deceiving". He, Li Yunlong, claimed to be second and no one dared to claim to be first.
In the past, Li Yunlong's family was poor, so let alone cannons, even a bullet would be stingy.
Although he has a large family and a large business now, his tendency to take more and more has not changed.
At the junction with Linzhou 358, there are new things happening every day. Today, they push forward meters, and tomorrow, they push forward meters. This has caused Chu Yunfei to protest constantly:
This is going too far. Should I build their outpost at my regimental headquarters?
After hearing this, Li Yunlong only restrained himself for three or five days, and then continued to slowly nibble away at his evil intentions like an ant gnawing at an elephant.
The control over the areas occupied by the Japanese was carried out step by step, with each passing day advancing the actual control line in the north by more than ten miles.
Give him some more time, and I think you can push the actual control line to Mongolia!
However, it is precisely this kind of selfless "thriftiness" that has created the current territory.
Back to Wang Chengzhu, Li Yunlong did feel a little sorry for him. The cadres who served as regiment commanders with him all became division commanders, but he was still a small regiment commander and had never moved.
"Zhu Zi, I kept you here today just to tell you about this matter, but you don't seem very satisfied. So, you should go fight your battle!"
Wang Chengzhu stood up with a bang and grabbed Li Yunlong's arm with his hands covered in tears and snot.
"Commander, what's the matter?"
Li Yunlong pulled his hand out of Wang Chengzhu's arms with disgust. He is a family man now, how can he let anyone hug his arm?
"Hehe, don't act like a grown-up girl! If you were a real grown-up girl... I really wouldn't dare let you hug me! Ask Mengzi for details!"
Wang Meng told Wang Chengzhu the good news. The arsenal successfully manufactured a 150mm howitzer according to the drawings of the German 150mm howitzer obtained from Country M. The experiment was successful and mass production began.
Therefore, Wang Chengzhu's butt should really be moved.
"Wang Chengzhu, according to the instructions of Commander Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao Gang, your artillery regiment will soon be upgraded to an artillery division!"
According to the organization set by Wang Meng, the artillery division is composed of two heavy howitzer regiments, two light howitzer regiments, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, an anti-tank battalion, an artillery reconnaissance battalion, and a self-defense armored infantry battalion.
In order to build artillery positions, an engineering battalion was organized. In addition, a communications battalion and a guard company were also available.
Each heavy howitzer regiment is mainly composed of three heavy artillery battalions, equipped with a total of 30 150mm howitzers.
Each light howitzer regiment is composed of three battalions, equipped with a total of 90 105mm howitzers.
The anti-aircraft artillery regiment has three battalions and is equipped with a total of 90 37mm anti-aircraft guns.
Wang Chengzhu looked at the compilation table and was immediately dazzled.
The 150mm howitzer can be considered a strategic weapon, a must-have killing weapon for attacking cities and killing enemies on a large scale.
The 150mm howitzer sFH18M has an initial velocity of 520 m/s and a maximum range of meters when using the maximum propellant.
Rate of fire: 4 minutes. Vertical aiming angle: -3° to +45°. Horizontal aiming 60°
The shooting uses a 43.62 cm Gr.4.4 high-explosive grenade weighing 15 kg and loaded with 19 kg of TNT.
This shell has an impact and mechanical remote control fuse.
When firing, it is best to use a remote-controlled fuse to detonate at an altitude of 10 meters. In this case, lethal fragments fly 25-30 meters forward and 60-65 meters to the side.
When the head fuse, set to instantaneous action, is triggered, fragments fly 20 meters forward, 50 meters to the side and 6 meters backward. The shell can penetrate a 0.45-0.5 meter thick concrete wall and up to 3 meters thick brick wall.
In simple terms, you can create a 26x100 no-man's land.
Additionally, the 15 cm R Gr long-range active rocket was added to the ammunition.
The 45.25 kg shell can travel 19 km.
Active rocket fire is only effective when used for harassment purposes, as the dispersion of such shells at maximum range is too great.
In short, the 150mm howitzer is a powerful weapon on the battlefield!
Wang Chengzhu was delighted when he looked at the parameters of the newly equipped 150mm howitzer.
With this thing, the Japanese can easily pass through half-meter thick concrete in the future. Are we still afraid that they will hide in their turtle shells and not come out?
"Commander, Chief of Staff, are these for me?"
"No, Zhuzi, didn't you just want to go to the battlefield? Then I'll give you this opportunity. The plan of expanding your regiment into an artillery division will be put on hold for now. I order..."
Wang Chengzhu hugged Li Yunlong's arm again and rubbed it.
"Commander, this time I'll treat you and the Chief of Staff to some sweet potato wine! I'd better receive the equipment first, so that we can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and beat the Japanese!"
"You're not going to the battlefield anymore?"
"No, no, I will resolutely obey the command of the column leader and collect the equipment first!"
"Okay, then you guys quickly put up the racks, and the personnel will take care of it on their own. Come to me for the weapons and equipment later!"
