Chapter 97 Karl 600mm self-propelled mortar!
"Our artillery expansion plan is to establish a 120mm mortar regiment within three months, with 54 m1943 120mm mortars, and an m40 155mm self-propelled artillery regiment with 36 m40 155mm self-propelled artillery.
"
"In addition, a B4 heavy hammer artillery brigade will be established within three months, with 36 203mm self-propelled artillery under its jurisdiction."
The B4 Red Hammer was a famous Soviet artillery piece during World War II. It made immortal contributions in all battles.
Lu Mingxuan also considered the American M43 203mm howitzer and the German K39 210mm heavy artillery, but in the end he chose the B4 Red Hammer.
"A T92 self-propelled artillery regiment, under the jurisdiction of 24 240mm self-propelled artillery."
T92 is an experimental product of the United States in the late World War II. It combines the m1 howitzer 240mm towed howitzer with the chassis of the t26e3 "Pershing" heavy tank into a self-propelled artillery. It was originally planned to be used to attack the Japanese mainland. It was later used because of Japan's surrender.
Stop production, and let it shine in your own hands in this life.
"A 170mm K18L/50 heavy artillery regiment with 36 170mm heavy artillery pieces."
"In addition, a Karl 600mm self-propelled mortar regiment will be built, which will have 12 Karl self-propelled mortars. Of course, the construction of this self-propelled mortar regiment can be delayed slightly."
Lu Mingxuan said calmly that these Karl self-propelled mortars were what he planned to use when he stormed the Lushun Fortress, so his need was not urgent now.
In fact, he also wants to establish more artillery units. For example, the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment. For example, the German K39/41 210mm heavy artillery regiment. But these require a lot of manpower and material resources, and all he can do is to do it later.
These artillery units were established.
Although he said these words in a very calm tone, all his men were shocked, especially Zhang Lingfu and Sun Liren. The rare heavy artillery in the army was like cabbage here.
How could they not be surprised by the appearance of a regiment and an entire brigade?
Lu Mingxuan took one look at them and knew what they were thinking, so he said: "Remember, the content of today's meeting is a top secret. Anyone who dares to reveal anything will be immediately dismissed and investigated."
"Yes! Sir!"
Everyone hurriedly agreed in a loud voice. This time, even Zheng Goucheng and Madman Li did not dare to be careless, and they shouted louder than anyone else.
"Next, let's talk about our Air Force's expansion plan. Within three months, I require the Air Force to establish four Hellcat fighter groups capable of participating in combat, with 144 Hellcat fighter jets. Two Mustang fighter squadrons, with 24 Hellcat fighter jets.
Mustang fighter. Two squadrons of Stuka dive bombers, with 24 Stuka dive bombers. Two squadrons of Mosquito fighter bombers, with 12 Mosquito fighter bombers.”
"One squadron of Mustang reconnaissance aircraft. It has 12 Mustang reconnaissance aircraft converted from Mustang fighters. Two squadrons of Mosquito reconnaissance aircraft have 12 Mosquito reconnaissance aircraft."
"Four brigades of B29 bombers, with 12 B29 bombers under their jurisdiction. Two squadrons of C47 transport aircraft, with 24 C47 military transport aircraft under their jurisdiction."
After saying so much, Lu Mingxuan felt that his mouth was dry. He drank a glass of water and said:
"Remember, all the resources in our hands must be given priority to the Air Force. All manpower must wait until the Air Force has finished selecting other units before we can recruit people. Li Liqian, Nie Linhai, can you complete the task?" Lu Mingxuan looked at Li Liqian and
Nie Linhai said with a glance.
Even in World War II, air supremacy was very important. Without air supremacy, heavy artillery and tanks would be nothing more than cannon fodder for enemy aircraft. Therefore, he believed that the construction of the air force must be given top priority.
"Report to the military, there is no problem." Li Liqian and Nie Linhai said happily.
In fact, in addition to the troops participating in the battle, the 189th Division Air Force has always had a large number of personnel undergoing training. However, their training was not completed, so they did not participate in the Nanjing air battle.
Coupled with the manpower recruited this time, they believe they can complete this mission easily.
Lu Mingxuan nodded, and then continued: "In addition to these, we also need to build a large number of air defense troops. The Japs have suffered such a big loss on us, and they will never let it go, so we must beware of the Japs.
revenge."
"So in the next three months, we will set up 20 flak/41 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Each anti-aircraft gun company has four 88mm anti-aircraft guns. In the future, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns will be our local air defense
the backbone of."
Germany's 88mm anti-aircraft gun is recognized as one of the best anti-aircraft guns in World War II, and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun Lu Mingxuan intends to equip is the best of all 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Its maximum vertical firing height reaches 14,700 meters.
It can shoot 20 rounds of 9kg artillery shells into the sky quickly every minute. It is an extremely powerful anti-aircraft gun.
"In addition, a flakzwilling twin-mounted 128mm anti-aircraft gun air defense battalion will be established, with 12 twin-mounted 127mm anti-aircraft guns under its jurisdiction."
The twin-mounted 128mm flakzwilling anti-aircraft gun is mainly used for static air defense in important areas. It can quickly throw 25-kilogram anti-aircraft guns into the sky. Its existence is definitely a nightmare for all aircraft.
In fact, in addition to this, Lu Mingxuan also planned to secretly build four 150mm anti-aircraft guns of Little Japan. Although this anti-aircraft gun was known as the most powerful anti-aircraft gun in World War II, some people also called it the most flashy anti-aircraft gun.
It weighs 50 tons in total and can only be used for air defense in key areas. It can quickly deliver artillery shells weighing 80 kilograms to an altitude of 20 kilometers, and its rate of fire is also good, reaching a speed of 15 rounds per minute.
Its gun barrel is 9 meters long and is about as high as a three-story building. Of course, its power is also extremely powerful. It once damaged three B29 bombers with one shot, and American aircraft no longer dared to deploy defenses from 150 mm.
Passing by, it was one of the few Japanese anti-aircraft guns that could pose a fatal threat to B29 bombers.
However, it appeared too late. It only participated in one battle. The entire Japan surrendered more than ten days later. It had almost no impact on the process of World War II. One of the anti-aircraft guns was also dismantled after the war.
Shipped to the United States.
"From now on we will establish the Jiyuan Air Defense Command, which will be used specifically for the deployment of Jiyuan. I will personally assume the position of commander, and the deputy commander will be... Crazy Li."
Hearing this, Crazy Li couldn't help but reveal a smile of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that one day he would become the commander.
For a moment, he couldn't help scratching his head and ears with joy, and almost jumped with joy.
"Remember, you are only acting as deputy commander, and your military rank has not changed. With your military exploits, you are not worthy of the position of deputy commander. If you do not do well, I will definitely remove you from your position."
Lu Mingxuan said with a sneer.
"Please rest assured, Commander, I promise to complete the task you assigned me and I will never let you down." Crazy Li said very happily.
"Remember, the construction task of the local air defense force is the most important task after the construction of the Air Force. After the Air Force has selected people, it will be the Air Defense Force's turn to choose people." Lu Mingxuan continued.
"In addition, I would like to say one very important thing, and that is about military unification."
Lu Mingxuan glanced at them indifferently and said: "For some reasons, I promised the top leaders of the Kuomintang to establish a military intelligence station in Jiyuan, but I don't want anyone to have any contact with military personnel in public or private situations."
"If there is really any contact, you must give me a report within two days, and report everything about your interaction. If you dare to hide anything, you will be dismissed immediately and investigated. Remember it all!"
"Remember! Sir!"
Everyone hurriedly said loudly.
"Okay, this meeting will be held here for now and will be adjourned now. Zheng Goucheng, Madman Li and Zhang Yushu will stay."
Soon everyone left the conference room, and Zheng Goucheng, Madman Li and Zhang Yushu also stayed.
"Concerning this military reunification matter, I give you a task." Lu Mingxuan said to them.
"If you have any missions, military commander, just give me your orders, and I promise to do it beautifully for you." Madman Li said with a smile.
"An important task of the military commander is to find out the character and weaknesses of each military general. I don't like this very much. So I ask the three of you to work together and drive this military commander away as quickly as possible.
, can you do it?" Lu Mingxuan said with a solemn expression.
"Would it make Dai Li very unhappy if we do this?" Zhang Yushu said a little worriedly.
"He has made me very unhappy now, do you understand?" Lu Mingxuan glared at Zhang Yushu and said.
"I understand." Zhang Yushu said quietly wiping the cold sweat on his head.
"Remember, this is my territory, and I am the only one who can make the decision on my territory. No matter who comes here, if it is a dragon, it must sit down, if it is a tiger, it must lie down."
"And what are we? We are soldiers!! What are the guns in your hands for? What are the tanks in your hands for? Can a group of spies be as tough as the guns in your hands?" Lu Mingxuan shouted with great dissatisfaction.
Said, "And there is a saying that you have heard of?"
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Goucheng asked very wisely.
"When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain. Compared with the military commanders, we are soldiers and they are scholars. Do you understand what to do?" Lu Mingxuan said fiercely.
"We understand." Zhang Yushu said quickly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
