The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

A few kilometers away, one could feel dizzy from the huge explosion, and the huge firework ball that rushed straight into the sky was roaring and rolling like waves, like a cloud of mushrooms. One can imagine how much gunpowder was loaded in the shells.

And the whistling when flying through the air is more shocking when listening to the firing of the battleship's main guns. More than once, I have seen those tens of thousands of behemoths blasting out shells with barrels that can hold people. , Sima Jinming immediately realized that this is probably the sharp weapon that the Japanese army used to attack fortified cities---the 240mm heavy artillery!

During the September 1937th Incident, the Japanese army attacked the Northeast Army and occupied the three eastern provinces. They used big guys of this caliber. According to rumors, it seems that only two were used; The rumors of death are not false; in the Battle of Pingjin in [-], the Japanese army did not forget to pull out at least eight such monsters to fight all the way to Central China, but it was a pity that they were broken by Zhu Bin Hengkong's blow and all fell.

Zhu Bin had no interest in those wolves that were bulky, troublesome to use, and unsatisfactory in flight. Get the four doors and pull them back as treasures of the town house.

Sima Jinming has also seen the real thing, but he didn't expect to bump into him head-on here today!

"Damn it, I'm in big trouble this time!" Sima Jinming was determined, but he couldn't help being startled. He knew that under the constant bombardment of the 200-kilogram grenade, he had never fought a battle. What an influence your new recruits really have!Eight years ago, the Northeast Army participated in melee battles many times.It was still blown up, how much better than them on my own side?

He stared fiercely at Huoyun in the distance, lowered his head and asked, "Immediately let the people in front figure out where the shells came from? Also, when will the Air Force reconnaissance plane be in place?!"

The signal soldier also tensed up and returned shortly after the hasty call.The infantry battalions attacking on both sides did not hear the sound of artillery!The shells do not fly from the wings!

Sima Jinming felt restless, slapped the tank turret, and cursed: "Damn it! Could it be that the shells flew up by themselves?!"

He frowned and looked straight ahead.Could it be that the Japanese army also deployed heavy artillery positions on the front?But why was it not mentioned in the investigation report?Could it be that the grandchildren of the Marine Corps deliberately concealed the situation?

Impossible, this thing is not a joke, and Zhu Bin is not such a small-hearted person.Besides.The air force reconnaissance on my own side did not find similar findings.

The 240mm heavy howitzer weighs 33 tons, and it is very inconvenient to move. The Japanese army wants to transport it from Shenyang to the mountains here for deployment. There must be clues to be found, unless... Sima Jinming suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say that it was in the ultra-long-range heavy artillery built by the Japanese army.Some even exceed battleship main guns!

"Damn it! I won't pull that thing up!" His cheeks twitched, and the back of his neck began to sweat coldly!

If it's really that kind of thing, a huge monster several times heavier than my own tank, no matter how it was transported, if it is deployed to the front.That can go directly to Miyun County!If there are a few gates of this thing on the edge of the Great Wall, I or even the friendly forces on the right wing may be within the strike range!

Trouble!Without further ado, Sima Jinming personally picked up the radio to report the guessing results, and then ordered the various departments to disperse as much as possible, so as not to be blown up by a shell!

Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, who was squatting behind and always paying attention to the battle situation, became furious when he heard this.He was afraid that the Japanese army would lay down the iron barrel formation and bombard it with heavy artillery recklessly. The armored cavalry regiment was the lifeblood of the chairman's personal intervention. If the loss was heavy, he would not be able to protect it!

With an order, the air force fighter planes that were still dawdling "hula la" took off the whole group at once, and the two reconnaissance planes that were about to arrive at the place did not care about anything else, risking being attacked by the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery or hitting the mountain. The danger swooped down, looking for suspicious targets round and round in the dim light of dawn!

During this period of time, one after another of the heavy artillery shells whizzed from a distance, seemingly aimlessly and randomly falling, but each time they either landed beside the narrow road or landed on the ground. Entering an empty village, or in a dense forest, it looks like he has been set to shoot Zhuyuan long ago.A total of more than 30 shells were scattered and exploded in a vast area with a width of five kilometers. There were very few battle results, but it was enough to make all the officers and soldiers of the armored cavalry regiment terrified!

One shell is a big hole that can fit a tank into it!A big tree as thick as a person can be uprooted and lifted out of the ground, and it can wipe out half a small village's houses in one fell swoop!A tank weighing more than ten tons can be blown up so high that it can fly high, and the people who touch it are directly smashed to pieces without even seeing the scum, and those who are close can be shaken by the shock wave and loud noise to bleed. The whole body was purple, it was horrible!

Keenly sensing the changes in the mood of the troops, Sima Jinming immediately understood the enemy's intentions in front of him—to use force to deter and intimidate others!Get rid of the spirit of your troops first, and get rid of it in one go, it will be much easier to fight!

But he didn't have any better way, he couldn't find the heavy artillery position of the Japanese army, everything was in vain!

The low-flying reconnaissance plane whizzed past, followed by the roar of shell explosions and stopped in good time. Sima Jinming sighed helplessly, the Japanese army is so fucking cunning!

At the same time, Colonel Isa Kazuo, who was far away on the mountain, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smothered smile: "Hey! The power of the ultra-long-range heavy artillery is as good as expected! The equipment of the Chinese army seems to be fine and powerful. His fighting spirit is far worse than that of the imperial army! Are you starting to get timid? It's just the beginning!"

Looking back at the admiring staff officer, he said, "Order the Fifth Field Artillery Squad below to fire, and at the same time ask Captain Hetian to cooperate, let the Chinese get confused first!"

"Hi!" The staff officer immediately recorded and repeated the order, and passed it on quickly after confirming that it was correct. After a while, he heard a series of dull shots from the mountainside below. The looming target below ejected dozens of shells.

The whistling of shells falling from the sky was like the charge horn, and the two infantry battalions who were waiting for the signal at the foot of the two-winged mountain immediately responded. The projectiles were fired continuously after a break, and at the same time, the No. [-] tanks of each company were the vanguard, followed by dozens of tracked infantry fighting vehicles, sweeping the guns, and rushing upwards along the rugged and gentle slope!

The reconnaissance plane that ventured through the pyrotechnic column and scanned the Japanese army's position after the bombardment immediately discovered the clues. The clusters of excrement yellow military uniforms in the mess were too conspicuous, mixed with the gun barrels among the fallen trees and the graves. The heavy machine gun fortress was also very eye-catching. Suspicious targets were quickly transmitted to the rear through the radio, and the two artillery companies that had been silent from the beginning suddenly roared!

Swarms of shells fell on the dilapidated mountain again. In the first wave of explosions, dozens of Japanese troops were immediately killed and injured by shells deviated from the direction, but most of them were safe and sound, holding their positions without any panic.

Izuo Kazuo sneered again and again: "Sure enough, some of the attacking firepower has been retained. Are you planning to inflict heavy damage on the imperial army? It's so naive!"

He firmly believes that the opponent is not willing to throw all the artillery at once, and the first wave of sudden strikes will inevitably use most of them, and they will have to move their positions immediately after the strike is over. During this blank period, the hidden minority forces Ready to launch at any time, if there is any movement on my side, I will immediately bomb and cover it. It is indeed much smarter than the previous troops who lacked artillery and would just bite the bullet and charge desperately.

However, that's all!

He looked up at the looming reconnaissance plane in the sky, curled his lips in disdain, those guys, the Kwantung Army Flying Regiment will take good care of them.Immediately ordered: "Tell Colonel Xiaohori, you can fight back! Kill this part of the Chinese artillery first!"

On the mountain artillery position on the northwest side, twelve cannons quickly adjusted their positions, and just a few minutes after the fiery explosion rang out in front, they suddenly opened fire amidst the fanatical roar of the little nugget!

A 150mm heavy artillery position deployed on the reverse slope of the mountain in the rear, and a 105mm self-propelled artillery company in the front were blown up and overturned by the sudden shells at the same time!The first round of more than a dozen shells destroyed two cannons, and the rest hurriedly moved against the explosion.

Sima Jinming didn't need to look back to know that such a violent explosion must have been the Japanese army's counterattack, but it came so fast and hit so accurately, how did the dog do it?have no idea!

He yelled at the air force reconnaissance plane on the radio, what's the use of having two eyes!

The reconnaissance plane was suffering and couldn't tell. There was thick smoke billowing all over the mountains and plains, and the sound of explosions echoed back and forth in the valley. It was impossible to see or hear where the attack came from, and cursing was useless!

Sima Jinming gritted his molars hard: "Pause the bombardment, and order the left and right wings, at all costs, to capture the Japanese army and occupy the high ground!"

If we don't kill the cannons of the Japanese army, and don't find the killer hiding in the dark, his seemingly powerful tank regiment will slowly move forward from the bottom of the valley full of ditches, trenches and mines, and will be regarded as a living target. Bit by bit!

On the mountains on both sides, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles covered the infantry and rushed up on the wet slopes. As soon as the artillery fire from the top stopped, the Japanese army who was hiding and hiding suddenly became active. Aiming at the slowly wriggling figure below, he suddenly opened fire!

In the direction of Sanhe, Wang Zhangtang, who has been paying attention to the battle situation all the time, heard that the two sides had finally exchanged fire at close range, and his face showed a trace of relief: "Very well, it seems that the little devil has not made much progress, and this battle will not be very difficult. Tell Luo Zhendong, you can start Already!"
