After walking into a self-propelled howitzer, Han Shuang smiled and said, "Brig Commander Chen, Commander Li, you must have seen tanks, right?"

"I have seen that the Japanese have many tanks on our North China battlefield. Oh, they call them chariots, but that size is incomparable to this one." Brigade Commander Chen nodded immediately and said.

"On another battlefield, Germany has built a Leopard tank and is also studying the more powerful Tiger heavy tank, which weighs about 56 tons, even heavier than ours."

"But ours is actually the same as the tank, but it doesn't mean that ours does not hit the front battlefield like the tank, but combines the principles of the tank and artillery together. We call it self-propelled howitzer."

"It means howitzer that can walk by itself. It is made up of a combination of cannons and tank turrets, can walk by itself and has good off-road capabilities. In this way, its mobility will be stronger." Han Shuang roughly introduced the design principle of the self-propelled howitzer.

"Wait, Comrade Han Shuang, are you all the artillery here?" Li Yunlong suddenly asked if he had discovered something.

"Yes, this is the equipment of our artillery battalion, with a total of 36 155mm self-propelled howitzers." Han Shuang nodded slightly and said.

"This... what is its firing speed?" Li Yunlong's head was still very flexible. Although he was shocked in the battlefield before, he still knew some basic data. If he wanted to achieve the previous attack results, he would have to exceed more than 100 heavy artillery pieces, but now there are only 36 pieces, which means it has a faster firing speed.

"This is the advantage of the self-propelled howitzer. It is not only able to walk on its own, but also has an automatic loader inside, so its shelling speed can reach 8 rounds per minute!" Han Shuang nodded with a smile. There was nothing wrong with these data, so it could be told to them.

At worst, they will open up their horizons when they are researching and developing. To be honest, after two years of research, the Tiger Heavy Tank that has served in 42 years, you will find that war has made human R&D capabilities really abnormal, especially Germany during this period, which is really cruel.

The normal history of China, let alone 42 years, is probably not possible to create the tiger style that Germany has been torn for 42 years in 30 or 40 years later.

This is the huge gap in a country's industrial system.

"8 rounds per minute." Old Li took a deep breath. To be honest, this launch speed seemed terrifying to him. You must know that this is not a mortar, this is a heavy artillery! Such a heavy artillery can reach 8 rounds per minute?! This... No wonder they thought at that time there were at least more than 100 artillery fires. With such a launch speed, it is normal for more than 30 to reach more than 100 more than 100 of them!

"It uses a 52-caliber barrel, so its range is amazing, which is why we say we can provide you with firepower support." Han Shuang said with a smile.

"How far can it hit? Is it 20 kilometers?" Old Li was obviously knowledgeable and immediately asked the key questions. Obviously, they had some understanding of the range of the Japanese heavy artillery.

"If ordinary shells are used, the limit range is 39 kilometers." Han Shuang said with a smile, "If extended range bombs are used, it can reach about 60 kilometers."

The extended range bomb that Han Shuang mentioned is naturally a rocket extended range bomb. However, using rocket extended range bombs, the power of the shells will decrease a little, but the decrease is also a 155mm heavy artillery!

Lao Li and Brigade Commander Chen's breathing became a little heavier. Ordinary shells were 39 kilometers? And they could also fire 60 kilometers of extended range bombs? This...

Such a range was beyond their imagination, and Brigade Commander Chen suddenly understood why Han Shuang and the others were so confident.

Such a terrifying range means that the enemy's cannons will be destroyed outside of their range, and they will naturally be in a safe state.

"This is great! If that's the case, we'll stay here. I want to see how many Sakatian teams the Japanese have to send in, but... Comrade Han Shuang's supply of your shells should be difficult, right?" Li Yunlong said quickly.

"Is there anything we can help with your shell manufacturing? If so, Han Shuang notify you and I will go to the logistics department to make such large shells for you first." Li Yunlong spoke directly before Han Shuang spoke.

"Don't worry, our shell reserves are enough." Han Shuang nodded with a smile.

The wing had not even finished a base of ammunition when the bombing was bombing for a long time. Moreover, when they came in, there were dozens of logistics ammunition supply trucks waiting for supply outside the crack.

It is no exaggeration to say that these shells can be even used for a year or two here.

"Okay, you know, the military factory in our logistics side has the ability to make such shells, that is, the arsenal at the headquarters may have the ability to do so." Brigade Commander Chen next to him glared at Li Yunlong, mainly because this guy kept talking nonsense.

"Hehe, brigade commander Lao Li is a rough man, so he definitely doesn't know much as you." Li Yunlong scratched his head and said with a chuckle.

"Comrade Han Shuang, why not find a place to talk carefully?" Brigade Commander Chen thought for a while and said.

"Please come with me." Han Shuang nodded and directly led Brigade Commander Chen to the tent that acted as the command center.

After entering the tent, there was no specific thing here yet, but only a strategic map, some radio and other equipment were hung, and more advanced things were not displayed here.

After coming in and sitting down, Zhou Qiang asked someone to pour a glass of water for Li Yunlong and Brigade Commander Chen, and the four of them were left in the entire tent.

The others were outside the tent. After the four of them sat down, Brigade Commander Chen looked around and then said, "Comrade Han Shuang, I won't hide it from you. Our Eighth Route Army has always treated people with sincerity. Comrade Han Shuang, you treat us as friends, and we must treat you as friends."

"This time our division was surrounded by the Japanese army. Our original combat plan was to break through and withdraw from this area, and then rely on the support of the border headquarters government to carry out guerrilla operations and wait for an opportunity to counterattack in several base areas in the western Shanxi region."

"But if you can really provide artillery support, we are not going to evacuate this area. We will stick here and engage in a long-term war of resistance with the Japanese. In this way, we are now nailing them to the core area of ​​the Japanese like a nail. In this way, when we regulate troops and counterattack in the later stage, we can deal severe damage to the Japanese."

Brigade Commander Chen obviously communicated with their headquarters before coming.
