Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 39: When the heavy artillery arrives, the Japanese army will cry!

The process of repairing the trenches taught the two country bumpkins, Long Wenjian and Lu Yuyan, a thorough lesson.

Especially Lu Yuyan, who kept clamoring to go south to kill the Japanese.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he saw corpses everywhere and vomited immediately.

"Look, this is a real battlefield, with corpses everywhere." Although Lu Yuhua's stomach was churning, he still suppressed the discomfort and said to Lu Yuyan.

"Is it different from what you imagined?"

"Yeah." After Lu Yuhua vomited, he nodded with a pale face.

"Commander, are the Japanese so powerful?"

When taking over the position, Lu Yuyan watched the soldiers of the 227th Brigade carrying the corpses out of the position. A rough count showed that more than a thousand people were killed, and almost everyone left was injured, with very few uninjured.

On the other hand, there were not many Japanese soldiers' bodies on the front line.

There are very few intact ones, most of them are in pieces, mainly due to artillery bombardment.

"How can it not be powerful? The one facing us is the First Guards Brigade of the Imperial Guards Division, the elite among the elite, the Emperor's Royal Guards. Don't you think they can be powerful?" When Lu Yuhua learned from Wang Lingyun that the enemy was the First Guards Brigade, he was also shocked.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army even sent out the Emperor's Guards.

No wonder Wang Lingyun’s 76th Division had such a hard time fighting.

"Ah? Can we win?" Lu Yuyan looked puzzled. You know, there is an 18th Division next to them.

"We will definitely win." Lu Yuhua said confidently.

When Lu Yuhua learned that the Japanese army in front was the 1st Guards Brigade, he came up with the idea of ​​annihilating the enemy completely.

So, he immediately gave new instructions to the base vehicle.

K-18 150mm howitzers*12 units.

一门32倍150榴的造价是32万大洋。（参考战前一门火炮八万美元购买价，同时美元兑换银元是4比1。）
The cost of the shells is 400 oceans.

But this time, the real cannon shot was worth a ton of gold.

One gun is equipped with 2,000 shells and costs 1.12 million oceans.

The twelve gates equal 13.44 million.

Originally, Lu Yuhua thought that he had become rich overnight and that he would be able to eat as much as he wanted.

As a result, the 12 heavy artillery pieces instantly reduced a large portion of his treasury.

In order to ensure absolute firepower advantage.

He also built four 170mm K18 cannons, which were actually 173mm heavy artillery.

The gun is mainly equipped at army-level units and is used for long-range anti-artillery operations with a maximum range of 29.6 kilometers.

Lu Yuhua knew that the Japanese army had large-caliber heavy artillery.

The key to winning this battle is the artillery duel.

Fortunately, the previous wave of artillery fire brought him a lot of merit.

The merit values ​​of ordinary Japanese soldiers ranged from 10 to 50.

The merit values ​​of officers above the rank of sergeant vary.

The lowest sergeant has 100 merit points, and the highest is currently unknown.

But from the tip given by the base vehicle, a Japanese captain in the previous artillery attack contributed 500 merit points to him.

Seeing that the merit value exceeded six thousand, Lu Yuhua was naturally very happy.

This means that there are enough artillerymen to operate the heavy artillery produced by themselves.

Otherwise, even if it is produced, it won’t be used.

In addition to these, there are twenty-four 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

It can be used for anti-tank, anti-infantry and air defense.

However, the first two are the best.

The anti-aircraft guns were put down, and the military court was convened.

So isn't this much more useful than an anti-tank gun?
As for the Iron Fist Bazooka, he took a look and thought it was useless. It would be better to wait until he had enough merits to upgrade to the latest model of the Iron Fist Bazooka.

These are all later stories, apart from the weapons mentioned above.

That's anti-aircraft weapons.

According to reports from mobilized soldiers sent to various miscellaneous armies, the Japanese air firepower was very strong.

Because the various ragtag armies lacked anti-aircraft weapons, they were unable to fight back against the Japanese fighter planes.

Many conscripts died in the bombing.

There were also some clever mobilized soldiers who picked up MG34 general-purpose machine guns and fired at Japanese fighter planes. The effect was average, but it did scare the Japanese.

Originally, Lu Yuhua was planning to equip more MG34 general-purpose machine guns for air defense.

Seeing this situation, they decisively chose the German 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

It has a high rate of fire and shooting accuracy, can effectively strike enemy aircraft flying at medium and low altitudes, and is widely used in ground air defense and ship air defense.

The main thing is the operation. It is not that complicated. After a simple training, mobilized soldiers can use it.

Although the artillery was being produced, transportation was a problem.

Fortunately, there was a reference before.

That was the mechanized artillery regiment built by the German-equipped division during the Battle of Shanghai.

It has 480 vehicles of various types, including tractors, trucks, observation vehicles, ammunition trucks, jeeps, three-wheeled and two-wheeled motorcycles. It is a truly mechanized force with a strength of more than people.

Considering the budget, Lu Yuhua decided to cut it in half.

After all, he was really running out of money.

After everything was packed up, the total cost was over 30 million yuan.

It looks like there are less than 10 million left.

Lu Yuhua felt that the money was really wasted.

If we fail to completely wipe out the Japanese 1st Guards Brigade this time, it will be a huge loss.

It will take three days to produce all of them, and two days to ship them over.

In other words, he has to hold on for five days.

Considering the troops, weapons and ammunition we have, it should not be a problem to hold out for five days.

Lu Yuhua was thinking about how to fight the battle when the heavy artillery arrived, when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a shell falling to the ground.

"Have the Japanese attacked?" Lu Yuhua asked Liu Yi who was standing beside him.

"No, we are testing the artillery and looking for our artillery position. Fortunately, I have asked Sun Qi to move the artillery in advance." Liu Yi shook his head and explained.

These advanced arms are different. They come with one year of combat experience, can adjust tactics at any time according to changes on the battlefield, and can also continuously upgrade based on their merits.

According to the potential estimate given by the base vehicle, he should have no problem becoming a general in the future.

As for the potential of mobilized soldiers, they can become middle and low-level officers.

At present, there are several mobilized soldiers in the miscellaneous army who have become squad leaders.

It is estimated that after this battle, they may all become low-ranking officers.

There is no way around it, because the ragtag army is so short of veteran backbones.

After three years of fighting, there are basically not many veterans left in the ragtag army whose numbers are still there.

"Is that the hot air balloon?" Lu Yuhua asked, pointing at the hot air balloon in the sky in the distance.

"Yes, that is the Japanese artillery observation post. It is estimated to be on the Japanese position. It is a bit difficult to destroy it." Liu Yi guessed Lu Yuhua's thoughts and shook his head.

"Then let them be arrogant for a few days. When the heavy artillery arrives, I will destroy them all." Lu Yuhua was not discouraged. Anyway, it was the Japanese army that was anxious now.

After the test firing, the formal shelling will begin.

Unfortunately, the artillery company had already moved its position, so the Japanese artillery fire was a waste of shells.
