After pondering for a long time and carefully comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each country's soldiers, especially after carefully recalling the situation of each country's soldiers, Lin Ruiwen finally listed out a recruitment list.
That was to recruit three female soldiers from Germany first, and the rest would all be Japanese female soldiers.
The reason was simple. They had already recruited Japanese female soldiers. If they recruited soldiers from other countries, language communication would be a big problem.
Although it was not a problem for Lin Ruiwen since he had Language Proficiency and was not afraid of foreign languages, the coordination between the soldiers was not good. He could not possibly translate everything through him, right?
As for the four female soldiers of the country, they were all his personal secretaries. Two of them were medics, and the other two were combat staff officers.
That's right, when you reach the platoon level, you can recruit special medics. The country needs 12 medics per person, which is not bad. This way, if you get injured or have a headache, you don't have to be afraid.
As for the battle advisor, that was even more important.
Lin Ruiwen was a military newbie now. He did not understand the military deployment of this period at all, let alone commanding operations. Otherwise, he would not have been fooled by Sanada Saka previously.
Since he didn't understand it and couldn't learn it in a short time, he might as well find a professional to help him.
In terms of combat staff, was there anyone more awesome than the Chinese during World War II?
Therefore, he had to recruit four female secretaries from France to follow him around at all times. They would take care of him and give him advice at the same time. If there was something to do, the secretary would do it, and if there was nothing to do…cough cough, in short, this would make things much easier for him.
Since they were always following him, it didn't matter if they knew Japanese, Chinese, or if they could communicate with the Japanese female soldiers. It was better if they didn't communicate with each other. They wouldn't collude with each other to deceive him.
Aiyaya, why was there a small mountain? As expected, regardless of ancient or modern times, Chinese or foreign, once there were more people, management was not an easy matter.
Now that they were focused on defense, they could forget about the motorised infantry. If they really needed to upgrade the infantry, they could just use their points. Therefore, they would still choose the infantry.
In this way, the cost of the new recruits would be 44 66, a total of 110 points. Yes, yes, not expensive, not expensive.
He had 512 points. Subtracting 110, he had 402 points left. That was a lot of points. He would buy some heavy firepower.
Individual weapons could be cheated and did not cost money, so things like the MG34 general machine gun could be saved. However, cannons and heavy machine guns were different. They could not be operated by a single person and could not be cheated. They could only be bought with points.
Since they were going to focus on defense, then they would have to be crazy and increase the firepower density. To do this, it seemed that they could only increase the number of machine guns and cannons.
The first was the machine gun.
Speaking of machine guns, he had to first talk about the MG34 general machine gun. This thing was useful, but it seemed that Lin Ruiwen had used it the wrong way and used it as a light machine gun.
It was fine to use it as a light machine gun, but if it was a light machine gun, there was no need for a three-man team. That was the template for a heavy machine gun. With the quality of these Japanese girls, if they all used drums as light machine guns, one person would be enough.
For example, in the previous battle, Yamada Youyou was the only one who ran around with a gun. On the other hand, the two machine gun assistants assigned to her were mostly guarding the area with submachine guns. They were mainly protecting Lin Ruiwen and wasted a lot of firepower.
Therefore, the MG34 was a good thing, but it seemed more suitable to be used as a light machine gun. If it was a heavy machine gun, it would be a little cumbersome. The main thing was that it needed to change the barrel after firing 300 rounds.
Although it was fast to change the gun barrel, it still required a pause. This would give the enemy an opportunity. If there were too many enemies, it would be quite dangerous.
Therefore, in addition to equipping a large number of MG34s, they also needed to add a machine gun with a longer firing time. The firing speed was not so fast. The goal was to keep shooting and give the enemy pressure so that they could not charge happily.
What machine gun could keep firing? Naturally, it was the water-cooled machine gun. Now, it seemed that the MG08 Maxim machine gun from the country of Dé was quite useful.
This was a heavy machine gun. Although it was heavier and its firing rate was not as good as the MG34, which only had about 450 rounds per minute, it was water-cooled. As long as there was water and sufficient ammunition, it could keep firing.
On the battlefield, when dealing with a group charge of infantrymen, suppressing firepower for a long time was actually very important. The purpose was not to kill anyone, but to give the enemy continuous psychological pressure so that they would not be able to launch a tactical charge so freely.
Therefore, although Maxim was lagging behind, he still needed some equipment because his continuous firepower was stronger.
However, because it could not be used by a single person, the MG08 Maxim Machine Gun could not be taken out by cheating. It could only be exchanged with points.
Comparatively speaking, the MG34 could be used as a light machine gun by one person. Although it was more advanced, it could be cheated at will. If that was the case, the MG42 could not be expanded by cheating. It would still have to be bought with points.
Sure enough, when he looked at the MG42, he saw that it could not be used with drums, so it had to be used by at least two people. It also had to be bought with points. Fortunately, he had chosen the MG34 at that time. It was a wise decision.
Although it was a scam, Lin Ruiwen still decided to exchange for a batch of Maxim. He didn't need too much. Four was enough. Anyway, the purpose was to suppress the firepower. Moreover, because they had sufficient ammo, they were still defending. In addition, they had a shield. There was no need to add an additional Spitfire. The two of them were enough.
From this perspective, Maxim was relatively backward and was a product of World War I. The exchange price was very cheap. It was 2.5 points per stick, and four sticks were only 10 points. It was quite a bargain.
However, on second thought, 2.5 points for a Maxim machine gun? It was even more expensive than a Japanese female soldier. Previously, the system said that the female soldiers were daily necessities. From a certain perspective, it was indeed right.
Oh right, there was also the M2 Browning heavy machine gun, which could be exchanged now. This was a 12.7mm weapon, and it was a must, especially since there were no anti-air cannons. It was enough to fight against the Japanese biplanes.
It was just a little expensive. It cost 10 points for a gun, which was the price of a female soldier from the country of France. However, in terms of firepower, it was worth it.
It wasn't that he didn't want more, but this thing was too difficult to serve. At least three people would be needed in a group. If there were more, he wouldn't have enough people.
It was decided. This would be the heavy firepower suppression squad or the air defense squad. Whether it was fighting against planes or tanks, they would be the ones to rely on.
There was also the artillery. He was now a second lieutenant and only had one platoon under him. He could only exchange for platoon-level artillery. At this time, the only thing he could exchange for was mortars. He could not exchange for other field artillery and howitzers. It was a pity.
What was worse was that because he was only a platoon leader, even the caliber of the artillery was limited. He could only exchange for artillery cannons with a caliber of 50 mm or less.
What was there to choose? In terms of caliber mortars, the only ones that could be of a higher grade were the Le GrW36 mortar from Germany and the 89 grenade launcher from the Japanese army. Of course, there was also the 45mm rapid-fire mortar from Italy. However, when they compared them, they realized that they had no choice but to choose the 89 grenade launcher.
The reason was simple. The 45mm mortar in Italy seemed to have a high firing rate and a good design, but it was actually useless. The 50mm LeGrW36 mortar from Dé was slightly more powerful and had better accuracy. In terms of weight, mobility, range, and so on, it was completely inferior to the 89 Grenade Launcher. Most importantly, the 89 Grenade Launcher was a weapon that could be operated by a single person. It could be used to cheat without any cost. On the other hand, the two mortars from Italy and Dé needed two people to operate. If it was not considered a single weapon, it would have to be exchanged with points.
However, if they only had the grenade launcher, even though it could fire 20 rounds per minute, it was still not enough firepower. Especially since the Japanese had tanks, the grenade launcher was not enough to fight against the tanks.
Sigh, other than these, there are other choices.
