Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 64736.]

[2000 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles have been distributed to your system space.]

Two thousand rifles, forty thousand points.

Zhou Tianyang didn't even blink.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that this investment is necessary.

With these rifles, the firepower of the new Second Regiment can be increased several times over.

The conversion of bolt-action rifles to semi-automatic rifles is not just an upgrade in equipment, but also an upgrade in tactics.

Previously, you could only fire one shot and then pull back.

Now that continuous firing is possible, the firepower density is a completely different concept.

Next up are the bullets.

We have the gun, but we can't be short of bullets.

The M1 Garand uses 7.62mm bullets.

It has the same caliber as the M2 armor-piercing rounds in the system store.

Basic training requires bullets, but actual combat requires even more bullets.

It cannot be omitted.

"System, exchange for 100,000 rounds of 7.62mm bullets."

[Confirmed redemption of 100000 7.62mm standard ammunition, consuming 10000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 54736.]

[100000 7.62mm standard ammunition rounds have been distributed to the system storage.]

100,000 bullets, 10,000 points.

Zhou Tianyang did some mental calculations.

Two thousand rifles, even if each rifle is equipped with only fifty rounds of ammunition, would still require one hundred thousand rounds.

These bullets are barely enough.

I'll add more later.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze shifted away from the rifle section.

It landed on the page about light and heavy machine guns.

The machine gun page in the system store dazzled him.

There were Japanese light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns.

It has Czech-made ZB26 light machine guns.

It had British-made Bren light machine guns.

There were also German-made MG34 general-purpose machine guns and MG42 general-purpose machine guns.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze lingered on the row of MG42 general-purpose machine guns.

[MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun: 200 points/unit.]

[Diameter: 7.92 × 57 mm.]

[Ammunition feeding method: 50-round belt/300-round belt box.]

Effective range: 1000 meters.

Rate of fire: 1200-1500 rounds per minute.

Ammunition: 20 rounds per point.

Zhou Tianyang stared at the introduction, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The MG42 general-purpose machine gun was nicknamed "Hitler's chainsaw".

The rate of fire is over 1,200 rounds per minute, and can reach up to 1,500 rounds per minute.

Pull the trigger, and bullets rain down like water.

The sound wasn't "clattering," it was the sound of tearing cloth.

This type of machine gun, when mounted on a light or heavy machine gun, becomes a heavy machine gun.

With a bipod attached, it becomes a light machine gun.

Lightweight, durable, and powerful.

In this era, it was definitely one of the best general-purpose machine guns.

Two hundred points for a drink, not expensive at all.

Zhou Tianyang made a mental calculation.

Three infantry battalions, each equipped with ten guns.

A battalion consists of three companies, each company is equipped with three guns, and each battalion headquarters keeps one gun as a spare.

Thirty is enough.

"System, exchange for thirty MG42 general purpose machine guns."

[Confirmed redemption of 30 MG42 general-purpose machine guns, consuming 6000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 48736.]

[30 MG42 general-purpose machine guns have been distributed to your system space.]

We have machine guns, but we can't be short of bullets.

The MG42 uses 7.92mm bullets, which is different from the caliber of the M1 Garand.

You have to buy it separately.

"System, exchange for 40,000 rounds of 7.92mm bullets."

[Confirmed redemption of 40000 7.92mm standard ammunition, consuming 4000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 44736.]

[40000 7.92mm standard ammunition rounds have been distributed to the system storage.]

Forty thousand rounds of ammunition, that sounds like a lot.

But the MG42 has such a high rate of fire that dozens of bullets are fired with a single pull of the trigger.

With 40,000 rounds, if a real war breaks out, it will only take a few battles.

However, we'll use it for now.

Buy more if you need more.

Zhou Tianyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

We have both rifles and machine guns.

Next up are the mortars.

The Second New Regiment now has a mortar, which was captured from the Japanese.

The Type 89 light mortar has a caliber of 50 mm and a range of over 2,000 meters.

It's not very powerful, but it's sufficient for a battle of this scale.

But Zhou Tianyang felt it wasn't enough.

What he wants is an absolute firepower advantage.

It's not just enough, it's overwhelming.

His gaze swept across the mortar page in the system store.

Finally, it stopped at a mortar.

M2 60mm Mortar: 300 points/unit.

[Diameter: 60 mm.]

[Barrel length: 730 mm.]

Weight: 19.2 kg.

[Range: Maximum 1800 meters.]

Rate of fire: 18-30 rounds per minute.

Ammunition: 1 point/round.

Zhou Tianyang looked at the introduction and nodded.

The M2 60mm mortar was the standard equipment of the U.S. military during World War II.

Lightweight, durable, and highly precise.

One person can carry it, and three people can operate it.

Maximum range of 1,800 meters, rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute.

At this distance, you can shoot wherever you want.

Three hundred points per subject, not expensive.

The mortar he had previously captured from the Japanese was usable, but it was, after all, a Japanese-made weapon.

Why not switch to American-made ones, with standardized caliber, ammunition, and operating procedures?

The improvement in combat effectiveness is real and tangible.

Zhou Tianyang made a mental calculation.

Three infantry battalions, each equipped with five mortars.

"System, exchange for fifteen M2 60mm mortars."

[Confirmed redemption of 15 M2 60mm mortars, consuming 4500 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 40236.]

[15 M2 60mm mortars have been deployed to the system.]

With cannons in hand, shells are naturally indispensable.

"System, exchange for 300 rounds of 60mm mortar shells."

[Confirmed redemption of 300 60mm mortar shells, consuming 300 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 39936.]

[300 60mm mortar shells have been distributed to the system storage.]

Zhou Tianyang looked at his points balance and silently did some mental calculations.

Fifteen doses of physique-enhancing liquid, 7,500 points.

Two thousand M1 Garand rifles, forty thousand points.

100,000 rounds of 7.62mm bullets, 10,000 points.

Thirty MG42 general purpose machine guns, six thousand points.

40,000 rounds of 7.92mm bullets, 4,000 points.

Fifteen M2 60mm mortars, 4,500 points.

Three hundred mortar shells, three hundred points.

Total cost...

Zhou Tianyang repeated it in his mind.

72,300 points.

He currently has 39,936 points remaining.

Zhou Tianyang looked at the number, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Nearly 40,000 points.

That's enough for him to exchange for another batch of skill inheritance cards.
