Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 “One chapter before going to bed, keep it true to your word, and continue writing when the sun rises.”

  Xinzhou Basin, the remnants of the Japanese 139th Regiment.

Looking at the medical soldiers passing by and the dozens of wounded people lying on stretchers with missing arms and legs, Lieutenant Colonel Taketa Aihara, who temporarily took over the command, suddenly put on a mask of pain.

Although the casualty report has not yet been received, the old Japanese knows that the situation of his regiment is not optimistic, and it is unknown whether he can form two infantry brigades.

 The only way to survive now is to seek help from superiors.

 After thinking for a moment, he suggested in a seductive tone:

“Matsuki-kun, have you contacted the brigade commander?”

"Based on my understanding of the Eighth Route Army, the other side must be ready for the next round of attack. We are in urgent need of tactical guidance and troop replenishment."

"If that doesn't work, just report directly to the division headquarters. If you have any problems, I'll take care of it for you. It's better to be punished after the war than to die on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Songmu Zheng, who was responsible for communicating with troops at all levels, nodded.

Having fought against the Eighth Route Army for so long, even a non-combatant captain like him was familiar with the opponent's tactics. After the dive bomber attack, there must be a violent bombardment.

 If they cannot seize the short gap to call for help, then the only outcome waiting for them is death.

 “Hi! I got it!”

“I will give priority to contacting the 140th Regiment. If Colonel Kobayashi Chohachiro does not respond, then immediately report the situation of our Regiment to Lieutenant General Iimorinuma.”

“By the way, the one who was in charge of the investigation just now.”

Suddenly, Matsuki Seiichi's voice stopped abruptly, and Aihara Buta beside him suddenly raised his head and looked due south. The familiar yet unfamiliar whistling sound in the sky made their hair stand up involuntarily.

 “Enemy attack!”

 “Shell attack! Take cover quickly!”

As soon as these words came out, all the Japanese soldiers tried to evade as fast as possible. As for the wounded who were lying on stretchers and unable to move, they could only pray silently to their own locusts.

 But to be honest, the above behaviors are basically useless.

 Based on the speed of the M1935B and Miss 75 shells, when you hear the whistling sound, you are basically not far away from being bombed. What's more, under the attack of artillery fire coverage, it is useless even if the Japs have four legs.

 Boom, boom, boom!

 The first one to hit the ground was Miss 75's shell, and its flying speed was relatively faster. And because of the range, their positions are closer to the Japanese.

Dozens of artillery shells exploded in the center of the enemy, and accompanied by deafening explosions, the defeated remnants of the 139th Regiment suffered heavy losses again.

 With the blessing of more accurate elements, even the first round of test firing has achieved good results.

Nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were shot to death on the spot, their stumps mixed with mud splashed all over the sky, and then they fell down. At this moment, trying to piece together a whole corpse has become an unattainable luxury.

Blood, ashes and stumps have irrigated the granary in northern Shanxi again and again. Next year there will definitely be a bumper harvest of millet and corn.

On the battlefield filled with artillery fire, Buta Aihara, who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, was filled with disbelief in his eyes.

"How is that possible!" "I obviously expanded the warning circle to eight kilometers, why didn't I find the Eighth Route Army's artillery position at all!"

"And what's going on with the enemy's firing range! We are now located at the rear of the entire regiment. This is clearly beyond the range of the opponent's barrel gun. How come we are still covered!?"

 Actually, the 139th Reconnaissance Squadron is not to blame for this incident.

The Xinkou area was originally a decisive battle site carefully selected by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The artillery positions that could play the decisive role were naturally very hidden.

If the Japs can advance a certain distance further, it is really possible to find some clues. But the timely appearance of the Second Air Division completely disrupted their investigation plan.

 I can only say that it’s not that the Japanese army is ineffective, but TG has Gundam (division).

 As for the issue of artillery range, unless the Japanese can produce a saucer-level agent, it will be impossible to obtain information on the latest equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

  After all, what the rabbits are hiding at this stage is an unsolved mystery all over the world.

Amidst the roar of Buta Aihara who was on the verge of collapse, the artillery group of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region always maintained a stable frequency and continued to output.

The firing range of Miss 75 is indeed limited and can only hit the front half of the 139th Regiment. But the M1935B is powerful enough, and its range can cover the entire battlefield.

  The support troops of the headquarters artillery brigade used the 105 howitzers in their hands to methodically extend their firepower, striving to give every soldier a chance to be shot.

“Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel! The enemy’s artillery shells are too many!”

“I still can’t contact Colonel Chohachiro Kobayashi and the division command post. What should I do next?”

 On the current battlefield, at least nearly a thousand artillery shells fall on the head of the 139th Regiment every minute.

This density of shelling once gave Seiichi Matsuki, who had never seen much of the world, the illusion that a bear was heading south.

After all, in his opinion, even if all the mountain artillery, howitzers, infantry artillery, and grenade launchers of the entire 110th Division were added together, they would not be able to produce such an explosive effect.

If this Japanese captain knew exactly how many artillery shells the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had prepared before the war, he would probably commit hara-kiri on the spot and give up resistance.

  After regaining the entire Jin Province, Huang He had several more military factories in the system on hand, and in reality, many new artillery production lines were also added.

 With the above-mentioned industrial foundation, the artillery shells he prepared for the Second Battle of Xinkou were not many, only one hundred kilograms per Japanese on average.

This number is indeed exaggerated on the Asian battlefield. After all, even the Shanxi-Sui Army, the pinnacle of artillery, can only produce up to 50,000 artillery shells to face the enemy at one time.

 Looking at the European battlefields, the Soviet Union and Germany often fired tens of thousands of tons of artillery shells in a day during large-scale battles.

Even in the Battle of Nomenhan two years ago, Zhukov thoughtfully prepared a ton of shares for each Japanese soldier.

I can only say that there is a long way to go.

 After all, the Eighth Route Army now only has one province, and its industrial strength still lags behind those of the established military powers.

However, in the near future, after the troops regain Suiyuan, Hebei, and Chahar, military production capacity will inevitably increase dramatically.

 Coupled with the systematic transportation network and means of transportation, it is certainly not difficult to carry one ton per person! (End of chapter)
