Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

After a whole night of rest, the Kwantung Army launched another attack.

In short, the tactics adopted by those five divisions are still the same as before a few days ago. It is obvious that one move is to implement it all.

The book first concentrated all artillery corps under its command, with the 105mm Type 91 howitzer as the absolute main force, and a small number of 150 prunes as supplements, and continued to output to the last line of defense of the Shandong Provincial Military Region.

It seemed that in order to end the battle in one go, the Japanese prepared firepower this time was surprisingly strong, and lasted for more than an hour.

Looking at the Jiaolai Plain, which was like a purgatory volcano, the lieutenant general commander of the 23rd Mechanized Division, Guanzhi Nishihara's face was extremely flushed.

With a sharp head and a big blushing face, anyone can see that the old Japanese have been giving medicines recently.

"Okay, very good. It seems that in this last battle, all the division commanders took out their treasures from the bottom of their boxes, and no one hid their weaknesses."

"Tsk, this scene is really spectacular. For the current brother country, more than 100 large-caliber body-barrier artillery attacks at the same time, even if it is not unprecedented, it is a last resort."

"By the way, I remember when the siege of Maipaopao at the beginning of this year, the 14th Army only used less than a hundred 105 howitzers. With its current firepower, the tiger in the forest can be regarded as a grand funeral."

Nishihara Kanti's feelings immediately resonated with the division's staff.

They nodded one after another, and each of them looked as if they could kill all the senior commanders of the Shandong Provincial Military Region in the next second.

Just when the Japanese had an **** in their skulls, the general attack officially began.

"The dark card is coming! On-board!"

Accompanied by the classic Showa charge slogan, three infantry regiments under the 23rd Mechanized Division took the lead in attacking. They drove tens of thousands of line-filling babies to get together and head into the battlefield first.

Behind the attacking queue of each infantry brigade, each squadron of the First Division of the War Tanks was slowly advancing.

These light and medium tanks, armored vehicles and artillery tanks are always ready to stop and fire to solve their problems for the human reaction of the armored people.

In a moment, more than 40,000 people poured into the front battlefield of the Jiaolai Plain.

From a bird's eye view from a high altitude, the Japanese were like locusts passing through the border, and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's defense line from multiple angles and batches.

"Baga! Seventeenth Squadron, are you all blind? Brighten my eyes! If you crush the infantry of friendly troops to death, you will all get out and teach the brigade to return to rebuild."

"The Thirteenth Squadron, your unit is about to enter the range of enemy anti-aircraft artillery. Reload high-explosive bombs, and once the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank position is discovered, stop and fire immediately."

"All squadrons must strictly follow the route of artillery fire. We must not only wipe out the enemy completely, but also use a beautiful exchange ratio to mourn Major General Yutian's spirit in heaven!"

In the direction of the Japanese army's main attack, the major general of the Second Brigade of the War Tanks, Ryoichi Shibata roared repeatedly.

In order to lead the overall situation, the old Japanese were in charge of radio, flags and lights, and they were almost busy and became a top.

Seeing that the squadrons gradually got on the right track, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is cruel, Shibada Ryoichi had to admit one thing: actual combat is really better than any simulation training.

In response to the problems exposed in the previous offensive and defensive battles, the combat system of the First Brigade of the Tanks has become much more mature.

When the artillery gangs under the division were shelling, they deliberately used artillery shells to clear the anti-tank mines on the offensive front line, opening up relatively safe passages for each squadron.

Similarly, with the previous few running-in, the warriors and friendly forces have become much more tacit understanding. After a battle, the bicycles could kill at most a few infantry soldiers.

Of course, war is equal to both sides. They are making progress, so the Eighth Route Army in Shandong Province naturally did not stagnate.

······

Fighting to the death, the battle became fierce from the beginning.

Without the restrictions on luring the enemy into the deep, the main divisions and security brigades of the Shandong Provincial Military Region can finally let go of their hands and feet.

Every step forward of the Japanese have to pay a heavy price. The battle officially started less than an hour, and tens of thousands of cannon fodders were lost to two-thirds.

Miss 75 that stretches out from trenches, fortifications, and even some corners are simply unprepared for defense.

Facing the rapid-fire cannon in the squat pit, not to mention the ordinary flesh and blood body, even the chariot in the Type 97 cannot be spared.

In a sense, the orthodox French chicken is really in TG.

At that time, M1897 was frequently defeated on the battlefield of World War I and did not launch the rapid-fire gun revolution envisioned by the army's senior management. And in the battlefield of the Republic of China more than 20 years later, this old cannon actually rejuvenated by chance.

"These Japanese are really crazy. I don't know how much medicine they took?"

Looking at the battlefield in the distance and looking at the suicide squads rushing up while shouting onboard, Commander Liu of the Third Division couldn't help but frowned.

When we fought against the 12th Army's B Division, the Security Division, and several independent mixed brigades, although the enemy could be called crazy, they were more or less rational.

Not like now. Without heavy fire support, the opponent dared to rush forward with the explosive bag with only the cover of smoke bombs, grenade launchers and small-caliber field cannons.

He's completely crazy.

As soon as these words were spoken, the chief of staff of the Third Division turned his attention. After a brief thought, he immediately gave the answer to the point.

"It's not enough to rely on medicine. These Japanese devils who have pioneered the way must be firm militarists."

"I heard Chief Liu say some time ago that there are similar situations on the battlefield of the Eastern Front of Europe. Those extreme SSs really pull you to explode with just one disagreement."

"Um."

The commander of the Third Division nodded in agreement, and then he changed his tone and said to the staff behind him:

"Let the artillery regiments in the rear be ready for combat, and the Japanese cannot continue to rush down. We have ammunition and have fortifications on the front. I don't want to fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy."

"By the way, get me the battle command."

"According to the current situation, the Japanese army's 105 and 150 howitzers will definitely join the battle again. After holding them in for so long, I believe that the comrades of the army cannon are also ready to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of fireballs suddenly rose from the front positions.

Judging from the power of damage, this is obviously not the work of the Four-One Mountain Cannon, the Type 90 Field Cannon or the Type 1 Cannon.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Affected by the shelling, the firepower of the 1st Regiment of the Third Division was a little weaker. The Japanese also seized the rare opportunity and rushed forward with the help of their artillery support.

······

Division artillery, as the name suggests, is the direct artillery of a division-level unit. In the Eighth Route Army sequence, the general main division will be equipped with 105+155 dierts.

A very small number of them have strong mobility and fast motorization progress, and even add a 105-plus.

During combat, this division's artillery regiment needs to chew positions and suppress Japanese infantry, and occasionally have to bombard the artillery of the same level on the opposite side.

Of course, there are really not many opportunities for cannons in the middle lane.

After all, the Second Air Division of the Eighth Route Army Air Force is a well-known near-local support force in the world. It will collectively dispatch to catch fries during major battles.

As for military-level artillery, the nature of this kind of support unit is relatively special.

Theoretically, military artillery not only does not have a fixed organization, but also does not even have a fixed framework. Most of the time they are distributed on demand or flexibly according to their assets.

Take the army-level troops of dried fruit for example. Most local troops and some central troops are so poor that they may not be able to form a full howitzer regiment with full squats.

Let’s look at the 54th Army of the 11th Army of the German Third Army in the same period.

In order to take down the Sevastopol Fortress and to knock on the turtle shell of the Russians, the military cannons of this army are truly the eight immortals who show their magical powers across the sea.

They were equipped with an 800mm Gustav, a 420mm Gamma howitzer, a battalion of Carl mortars, and a company of 280mm Bruno train guns.

In addition to the above-mentioned unconventional artillery, Germany also transferred two 305mm howitzer battalions, two 240mm howitzer battalions, and three 150 howitzer battalions.

TG does not have this level of firepower, but it is indeed impossible to use it.

However, the Eighth Route Army of Shandong Province is not bad either. The tigers in the forest now have six battalions of M1932 155 cannons.

Looking at the large pipes around him that were towering into the clouds and the length of the gun barrel was 8.5 meters long, the artillery soldiers who were temporarily transferred to the Shandong Provincial Military Region expressed their feelings again.

"Principal Zhu, we should be able to fight this time. The Japanese have no air supremacy, and their division artillery gangs are not enough. We don't even have to transfer positions."

"Tsk, six battalions, 72 155mm cannons that can fight over twenty kilometers, this battle is really rich."

"By the way, will our Eighth Route Army have thicker tubes in the future, such as more than 200 mm, or even the legendary train cannon?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Principal Zhu immediately glared at his student.

On the battlefield of the Republic of China, the expansion standard of a Japanese division was about 5 kilometers wide. As long as it is not against an independent heavy artillery brigade, the range of 15 to 20 kilometers is definitely enough.

Like the 155 plus equipment from its own troops, it is a treasure-like weapon that can be used on the European battlefield.

Just that, are you not satisfied?

Thinking of this, Principal Zhu raised his eyebrows and said in a teasing tone:

"Yes, why not? Is 203mm thick enough? If not, there are 356mm, 410mm and 460mm guns for you to choose from."

"Let's do this. After the Battle of Shandong East is over, I will send you to the navy to report. What kind of artillery you want to shoot at that time depends on your own seizure."

Speaking of this, Principal Zhu paused.

One thing he suddenly thought of was that the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau really had the design drawings and construction plans for train cannons. It was said that it was a killer weapon prepared for the war from the border a year later. (End of this chapter)
