155mm field light howitzer, the word light did not mean that the shells were relatively light.
The lethality of the 155mm howitzer shells was exactly the same as the modern ones.
Compared to the cannons of the same caliber equipped by various countries in this era, the damage radius of the same caliber shells was more than doubled due to the modern explosive compression technology.
As for the word light, it referred to the weight of the cannon in battle.
The 155mm field light howitzer produced by the system only weighed an astonishing 2.5 tons.
This weight was even lighter than the Japanese's 100-caliber artillery by a ton.
The Japanese's 150mm howitzers generally weighed about seven tons. Even the latest 150mm howitzers weighed more than seven tons.
This made it difficult for the Japanese to use their heavy artillery in most parts of China.
China was not like Europe. They did not have a complete road network, let alone a highway. Therefore, the Japanese preferred to use light mountain cannons and infantry cannons.
As for the 155mm light howitzer, although it was equipped with 12 trucks, it could also be moved on the mountain road by a pack horse. This was also the reason why Ye Ming had finally taken out these 12 howitzers.
If it was a cannon that weighed more than three tons, then even if Ye Ming took it out, it would be difficult to use it in a short period of time.
The immense power of the heavy artillery was fully experienced at this moment.
What was even more terrifying was that the modified artillery had an astonishing hit rate. Almost 12 shells all landed on the Japanese's logistics team.
The 12 scattered shells instantly blasted a gap of hundreds of meters in the Japanese army.
Almost all the Japanese within the range of the explosion had no bones left. The huge shock wave also tore the Japanese and the flatterer at the side into pieces. The Japanese further away were also flipped over by the waves.
In an instant, the entire Japanese team was thrown into chaos.
This scene was seen by everyone in the command center, or rather, the observation command center.
Commander Liu took a deep breath and pointed at Li Yun Long.""Li Yun Long, you're good. You still have such a good thing. Let me tell you, next time I want artillery support, don't be stingy with me.”
Hearing the old officer's words, Li Yunlong immediately stood at attention and said,""Old Chief, it's not like you don't know who I, Li Yunlong, am. There's nothing to say. As long as you say the word, I'll have enough ammunition.”
Everyone knew that Regiment Commander Liu was joking. The new regiment was under the command of the 129th Division, so they didn't have any artillery support.
However, the 120th Division's Commander Chen immediately said,""I say, Li Yunlong, your division commander has an artillery regiment made up of 105mm howitzers. Seeing that my 115th division only has one artillery battalion, you can provide me with artillery support!”
As soon as Deputy Commander Chen finished speaking, the others also spoke up. Suddenly, the entire commanding officer was filled with one after another. Li Yun Long felt honored, but he also felt a headache.
The lethality of the modern 155mm howitzer was too shocking. It made every chief present furious. Hot.
With such cannon fire, attacking Taiyuan would not be a problem.
Vice President Peng couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly,"What do you all look like? Do you still look like a brigade commander? Comrade Ye Ming had already said that the equipment would be sent over in an endless stream in the future, so why are you guys in such a hurry?”
Vice President Peng had a bad temper, and everyone in the Eighth Route Army was afraid of him. All of a sudden, the brigade commanders expressed their gratitude to Ye Ming again.
This made Ye Ming feel a little overwhelmed. After all, these people were heroes in the hearts of modern people. They were legends.
The words of the brigade commanders sounded familiar to Ye Ming.
In fact, not to mention the 8th Route Army, even the Japanese had never seen such a powerful 155mm cannon. It was normal for them to lose their composure.
Ye Ming could clearly see that Vice President Peng's face was filled with desire.
However, Ye Ming felt helpless. After all, this item was obtained by signing in, and the weapons and equipment that the system randomly rewarded were mostly equipment from the end of World War II or the Cold War.
It was not easy to obtain such a modern cannon.
Moreover, with modern artillery shells, every shot meant one less shot. Although there were a huge number of them, if they were all shot, they would really be shot out. This was because the artillery shells of the same caliber in this era were simply incompatible.
Therefore, Ye Ming could only look forward to the system's upgrade to resolve this difficult problem.
However, Ye Ming was also very clear that for the Eighth Route Army, having firepower that was not inferior to the active artillery of other countries was already quite powerful.
The more advanced something was, the higher the requirements for its use. It was also not very practical.
For example, the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 129th Division was equipped with 48 105mm howitzers. It was already a very powerful firepower force. It could even fight evenly with the Japanese's Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.
If every main division of the 8th Route Army had such an artillery unit, it would be impossible for the Japanese to bully the 8th Route Army with firepower like before.
Ye Ming had already told Vice President Peng that the supplies to support the 8th Route Army would be given priority to the troops under his command in the future. Vice President Peng was 100% supportive of this. Moreover, the Northwest Headquarters had repeatedly asked Vice President Peng to build a good relationship with Ye Ming, so he naturally had to stand up for Ye Ming.
Especially after Ye Ming gave more and more resources to the 8th Route Army, Vice President Peng had already promoted his relationship with Ye Ming to the highest political task.
After all, an organization that could produce so many weapons and equipment was too important to the 8th Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army must also cherish the friendship of the overseas Chinese rescue organization represented by Ye Ming.
The First Elder of the Northwest Headquarters had personally written a letter to Vice President Peng. The Eighth Route Army needed Ye Ming, and the future of China needed Ye Ming even more.
In the hundred years since the Opium War, China had suffered a great loss due to the lack of technology. The Overseas Salvation Organization had already shown that they had military technology that was not inferior to the developed western countries. This was the hope of building a powerful China.
In the words of the Great Elder, the era where the western powers could easily blast open the gates of China with their cannons must be completely ended in our generation.
