    ?  During World War II, artillery was the well-deserved god of war. In order to take the initiative in the war, various military powers, while developing and producing more powerful artillery, also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to form professional artillery units.  .

    Artillery was definitely a technical arm at that time. In order to become a qualified artillery, in addition to having a strong body (moving shells and moving artillery is hard work!), you must also have a certain cultural foundation.  And complex ballistic calculations cannot be learned by the illiterate.

    Such a condition may not be a big deal for European and American countries with developed culture and education, but for China, where the illiteracy rate was as high as nearly 90 percent at that time, it seemed very harsh.  In addition, the Chinese army at that time only regarded artillery as an auxiliary arm, and the promotion space for artillery was limited. Therefore, although all Chinese military academies offered artillery majors at that time, there were still very few applicants. Naturally, the number of qualified artillery was comparable to that of infantry.  Compared with it, it seems very rare.

    After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government took the opportunity to train a large number of artillerymen as the educated youth joined the army, but almost all of these people were assigned to the direct line troops of the Central Army, and local troops were still hard to find artillerymen.

    This situation is even worse in the Eighth Route Army. Those who know how to use heavy artillery, even those who know how to use mortars, are absolutely rare. If a regiment has one or two professional artillerymen, they will definitely be regarded as battalion and regimental leaders.  Offer up like the ancestors.

    So even if Li Hui bought back a large number of heavy artillery, the Shandong Eighth Route Army, which does not have enough artillery, can only let them lie there.

    Now the Japanese army is besieging the bases in Shandong with heavy troops. The Shandong Eighth Route Army, which is not dominant in numbers, can only rely on its superior equipment if it wants to attack the devils. Those heavy artillery known as the "King of War" have naturally become crucial killers, so  As soon as he heard that Yu Xuezhong had a large number of qualified artillerymen, Li Hui was overjoyed immediately, and he did not hesitate to offer high prices to poach these "treasures".

    Yu Xuezhong, who recovered from the shock, saw Li Hui's serious expression, and then decided that he was not joking. While surprised that the Eighth Route Army had a large number of heavy artillery, he was naturally happy to make this deal.

    So he immediately said: "You can exchange artillery for cannons, thank you for thinking about it, but your conditions are too high. Although artillery is a technical unit, it is not too difficult to train. In this way, I will give you  500 old artillerymen, how about you give me ten cannons?"

    Li Hui shook his hand excitedly: 'Commander Yu, thank you so much.  "

    Yu Xuezhong shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, I should thank you. Your Eighth Route Army gave us these weapons, and I should do so. If it weren't for worrying that the troops would not have artillery support, I wouldn't be able to withstand the little devils.  If you want to attack, I will send these artillery to you, but this is also good, you have artillery, we have artillery, and we will be able to beat up little devils more ruthlessly in the future."

    Li Hui sighed in his heart, if all the generals of the national army were like Yu Xuezhong and devoted themselves to the war of resistance, then the battle would not be so difficult.

    For such a patriotic general, Li Hui certainly needs to provide more help. When he said: 'Since Commander Yu is so generous, I can't be stingy, can I?  In this way, I will give you twenty-four 85mm cannons with 5,000 shells.  Don't look at the small caliber of this cannon, but it has a range of 15 kilometers and weighs only 1.7 tons. It can be pulled by two horses or a dozen infantry, and it is very easy to move. With it, those little devils  Mountain artillery and field artillery can only be beaten passively. Even if the little devil sends a plane to bomb, you can immediately move the artillery with the artillery to hide.  Oh, by the way, I will give you another 20 observation instruments to facilitate the artillery to observe the enemy's situation.  I will let the New Fourth Army send you these guns together with those weapons.  what do you think.  "

    "Hiss!" Yu Xuezhong gasped, and the corners of his eyes and mouth kept shaking, and he almost lost his breath.  Good guy, the Eighth Route Army won the lottery, right? It turned out to be two artillery battalions, and they were large-caliber cannons. This surprise came too suddenly, and I couldn't accept it for a while.

    Li Hui's words have not yet been said: "In addition, we only borrow these artillerymen. When we have qualified artillerymen, I will return them to you."

    "If these people are gone, can you give me a few more guns?" Yu Xuezhong really wanted to say this, but he held back after thinking for a long time.

    In this way, the deal between the two was formally concluded. Under Yu Xuezhong's order, the chief of staff selected 500 experienced artillerymen in a short while.

    ? Looking at these strong and calloused hands, one can see that they are full of experience.Li Hui, a veteran of fire, nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and took off the telescope from his neck, and handed it to Yu Xuezhong: "Commander Yu, this is an infrared telescope, even in the dark, it can be seen in the same way as during the day  Clearly, with it, you no longer have to worry about the devil's night attack."

    Yu Xuezhong was embarrassed to ask for Li Hui's things again, but when he thought that his troops would always suffer heavy losses from the little devil's night attack, he tied the binoculars, and then tightly covered Li Hui's hand with both hands,  He said excitedly: "Li Hui, you have helped us so much, I really don't know how to thank you, you"

    Li Hui interrupted him, and said solemnly: "I'm not just helping you, your army, I'm helping our country, and helping all the passionate men who dare to risk their lives to the devils,  If you want to thank me, then how many devils."

    Hearing this, Yu Xuezhong felt a surge of emotion, and immediately nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I guarantee that our troops in the Sulu theater will fight the devils to the end. I won't say much else. When the War of Resistance is won, I ask  you drink!"

    Li Hui said loudly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to buy me a drink!" After speaking, he gave a solemn military salute, and then led the troops to the north.

    Yu Xuezhong took all the soldiers and stood on the hillside watching the team of more than a thousand people leave.

    After walking for a mile, Li Hui turned around again, looked at the hillside full of people, and said in a low voice: 'You will all live to the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won.  "

    While Li Hui was marching day and night, speeding back to Shandong, the battle situation in Shandong had quietly changed. After the Japanese army retreated southward in the Sulu theater, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, leaving a small force to clean up the remnants of the enemy and take charge of local security.  , The main force of nearly 20,000 people immediately turned around and rushed towards the Binhai District of the Shandong Eighth Route Army.

    The Binhai District, which was surrounded by the 30,000-day puppet army mainly composed of two regiments of the 17th Division, suddenly became under pressure.  However, the commander of Binhai District was not worried at all. This is the mountainous area of ??southern Shandong. No matter how many troops there are, the little devils can't all fly in with their wings.  Under his command, the three main regiments and militia units of the military region were broken up into pieces, and they used the terrain to set up ambushes, causing heavy losses to the Japanese and puppet troops.

    Among them, landmines and heavy artillery made an important contribution.  Soldiers and militiamen have set up minefields on all the roads. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops are not paying attention, they will step on the mines, and the flesh and blood will be blown up.  The Japanese and puppet troops almost pay the price of blood for every step forward, but these landmines are just dead objects after all, and as long as the queue is dispersed a little bit, each landmine can only cause casualties of one soldier, which makes the Japanese and puppet troops even more difficult.  The headaches are those shells that may fall at any time.

    Those damn Eighth Route Army did not know where to get so many artillery pieces, each with a larger caliber, especially those howitzers with a caliber of 15 centimeters or more, which exploded into a large piece.  No matter how large the queue spacing is, it can be used.  Moreover, those cunning artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army always moved after firing a few shells, and they were never greedy for merit. By the time their own artillery wanted to fight back, they would have already run away.  If you send troops to pursue it, just wait for it to be bombed by landmines.

    Therefore, although the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the Binhai District had tens of thousands of troops, they could only hang around outside the mountainous area, and dared not enter the mountainous area.

    When it comes to the artillery in Binhai District, we have to thank those Japanese prisoners of war captured at Donghai Airport last time (now they should be called Japanese anti-war activists).  Next, Shinichi Sasaki, a Japanese aviation soldier who voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army, has been persuading them to surrender. Shinichi Kinoshita, who is also Japanese, of course knows how to persuade his compatriots. His method is also very simple. There are only two words: fight  and hungry!

    Being beaten violently every day and not being given food, even the iron man can't stand it. It took Kinoshita Shinichi three to five days to make this group of Japanese prisoners of war who call themselves the great Japanese warriors completely abandon His Majesty the Emperor.  After the brainwashing of the personnel, they became staunch anti-war activists and voluntarily served for the Eighth Route Army.

    Nearly half of these Japanese anti-war fighters are artillerymen. Although they cannot fight against their compatriots in person, they can be instructors. I have to say that the rigorous Japanese are really suitable for teachers.  Under the guidance of the training staff, in just half a month, Binhai District has hundreds of soldiers who can skillfully operate artillery. Although these short-term trained soldiers have poor artillery shooting accuracy, some of them have not even learned how to measure distances.  But this does not affect their bombardment of the devils. What are you afraid of if the accuracy is poor? There are plenty of shells in the coastal naval area, just bombard them.  There is no loss in the middle.

    As for not being able to measure the distance, it doesn¡¯t matter. The soldiers hiding in the woods on the roadside and behind the stones will transmit the exact position of the Japanese and puppet troops to the artillery through the radio, as long as they close their eyes and bombard hard according to the coordinates.

    These guys who haven't even touched a cannon before can be regarded as having enough fun now!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Just close your eyes and bang hard.
