There were 50 fixed anti-air fire positions in the first-class base.
These positions were protected by concrete bunkers. At the same time, there were specialized ammunition depots, fixed anti-air artillery devices, anti-air searchlights, and some anti-air balloons that could be released.
Of course, outside of these air defense positions, all the open spaces in the base could also be deployed with air defense firepower.
However, these 50 air defense positions in the base occupied the best air defense positions. Each air defense cannon could also cooperate with the air defense to form a cross-air defense fire.
In the face of an air raid, these anti-air cannons could be combined to protect the safety of the base as much as possible.
At the very least, it would prevent the enemy's aircraft from bombing the base easily.
Unfortunately, there were no anti-air missiles available at the moment, not even individual anti-air missiles. Otherwise, the base's anti-air firepower would be like an iron bucket.
Chen Ping 'an had spent quite a bit of money to purchase these 36 anti-air cannons.
Among them, the 88mm dual anti-air cannon cost 60,000 dollars, plus the 37mm dual anti-air cannon cost 12,000 dollars, and the 23mm quad anti-air cannon cost 6,000 dollars, a total of 78,000 dollars.
Chen Ping 'an also began to deploy heavy artillery in the base.
First, he had to complete the turret that could accommodate 155mm heavy howitzers.
For this, Chen Ping 'an spent 100,000 yuan.
He had also added 20 75mm rapid-fire cannons to his arsenal.
This also cost Chen Ping 'an 80,000 yuan.
In addition to the twenty-millimeter rapid-fire machine guns, they were all equipped.
Chen Ping 'an only had 240,000 yuan left.
At this moment, Chen Ping 'an's gaze also turned to the Level Two Cannon near the top of the mountain.
There weren't many Level 2 Cannons, only eight of them.
However, these turrets were different from the ones below. Only a cement platform was exposed.
Below the concrete platform was the turret of a battleship.
There were specialized ammunition depots, automatic loading equipment, electric rotating discs, aiming systems, optical detection systems, and laser ranging equipment.
The cannons installed on these Grade 2 turrets were also specially designed for them.
Level 2 turrets could be equipped with the same main cannon turrets as large battleships. Currently, they could be equipped with a triple-mounted 240mm turret.
The first-level turret on the top of the mountain could be equipped with a 305mm triple turret.
The price was not cheap either.
The price of a 240mm triple turret was as high as 30,000 dollars.
Furthermore, the cost of the subsequent shells was not a small expense.
Now, Chen Ping 'an's Dayang could deploy all the Level 2 turrets with specialized 240mm triple-mounted cannons.
However, the 500,000 yuan that he had just received was about to be used up.
However, the 240mm triple heavy artillery was also worth investing in.
First, the firepower was really fierce. It could shoot down rapidly five times in a minute, and the attack range was more than 20 kilometers.
On the Thousand Bull Mountain, the attack range from above could cover many surrounding towns.
Moreover, the cannon could rotate 360 degrees, and the angle of the shot could also be adjusted.
It had its own fire control radar and could even carry out air defense.
With this cannon, the base would have a stabilizing force.
The reason why Chen Ping 'an asked Zhou Weiguo to train so many artillery soldiers was to let them control these cannons.
Chen Ping 'an wasn't afraid of the Japanese's revenge. He wanted to let the Japanese have a taste of what it meant to be covered in firepower.
The Japanese's firepower was very strong in front of the other troops of the gardeners.
However, in front of Chen Ping 'an, the Japanese's firepower was really mediocre.
Five hundred thousand dollars. After Chen Ping 'an deployed eight triple-mounted 240mm heavy cannons, he was left with more than ten thousand dollars.
Chen Ping 'an had used most of the money to purchase artillery shells to replenish the batteries.
That night, after learning a lot of theories, the artillery began to enter these forts and carry out practical operations.
At the same time, he also learned the aiming system in the cannon, familiarized himself with the attack angle of the cannon, and familiarized himself with all the shooting elements around Thousand Bull Mountain.
There was no rest in the training ground.
A portion of the soldiers were still training at night.
Early the next morning, the high-intensity training began again.
Even though many soldiers were also complaining, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
After entering the training ground, there was no retreat.
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed on the battlefield.
It was a new day, and many of the warriors were in a better state of mind.
Some of the new warriors had already achieved the results of a year of training.
At the same time, some of the elders of Thousand Bull Mountain had also upgraded their combat skills to intermediate level.
As long as his combat skills were upgraded to the intermediate level, he would no longer need to participate in training.
No amount of training would be of any use.
Moreover, the combat skills of many recruits had basically reached the beginner level.
In terms of combat skills, they were no weaker than the ordinary soldiers of the Japanese's permanent division.
Today, Li Hongyan brought thousands of young men up the mountain.
The people of the surrounding villages had long heard that Thousand Bull Mountain was recruiting people. Li Hongyan did not even need to go to the villages to recruit people. As soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain, many young people were already waiting before dawn.
Many of them came from Xiaowang Village, and some came directly from the town.
There were more than 2,000 people. Li Hongyan had also chosen quite a number, and then she chose more than 1,200 people.
After this recruitment, Thousand Bull Mountain would temporarily not recruit anyone.
After three days of recruitment and the addition of the prisoners of war, the number of people on the mountain that could fight had reached 3,800.
Because of this, Zhou Weiguo was so busy that he couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, after three days of hard work, the officers that he had trained could also relieve Zhou Weiguo's workload.
The six that had been trained could take up their posts. There were also a large number of company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders and deputy squad leaders.
Now, Zhou Weiguo didn't need to go to the training ground personally. These trained officers were all very good instructors who could take on all kinds of training and teaching tasks.
Thousand Oxen Mountain had also been officially organized into battalions. Among them, there was the garrison artillery battalion, which was responsible for operating the cannons in the base. There was also the garrison square battalion, which was responsible for air defense.
In addition, a special garrison camp was established to protect the base.
The rest of the soldiers were formed into semi-synthesized mechanized combat battalions. However, there were only three battalions, each with about 800 people.
