Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Half an hour later, the Eighth Route Army artillery position.

On the high ground northwest of Fengmen Village, there is a temporary high platform. This is the artillery command post for this operation, and Director Zhao, holding a portable communicator, is sitting here.

Next to him were a group of young staff officers who had just graduated from the Eighth Route Army Artillery Academy. The fledgling comrades were carefully checking various data on their opponents.

After confirming that all preparations were correct, the artillery commander looked at the clock on the table, and then issued the final order through the entire communication channel.

"The general attack begins!"

"The first and second artillery regiments! Give me half an hour of bombardment first. I want to see how hard the enemy's turtle shell is! No one is allowed to stop before the gun barrel reaches its limit!"

"attack!"

Following Director Zhao's order, the soldiers of the two artillery regiments immediately removed their camouflage on their respective positions.

One after another, the 105mm barrel guns were pointed directly at the Japanese defense line in the distance. As soon as the signal flares took off, they began to pour out a metal storm.

"Hey~"

"put!"

The moment the signal flare took off, the storm-like artillery shells, with a scream that ripped through the air, started from many different angles and flew towards the defense line in the west of Jiyuan.

When the Japanese were confused and didn't react, hundreds of fireballs formed by explosions had already covered their carefully constructed "Magino".

In this battle, a total of ninety-six 105mm artillery pieces participated. In addition, two battalions of forty-eight Red Arrow self-propelled rocket launchers will be added.

This quantity, which far exceeds the strength of the Asian battlefield, brings the artillery's peak projection to an astonishing 41 tons per minute.

The case has been solved. Today is the chapter with the most advantageous firepower. We found a very small amount of human tissue among a large number of metal fragments.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The continuous shelling caused the earth to groan in pain, and even Wangwu Mountain in the northwest was affected.

The continuous shaking of the mountain and the falling gravel were like a unique Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountain.

Under the output of the two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army regardless of consumption, lucky Japanese soldiers were constantly shot to death on the spot. Even if they hide in a solid anti-gun fortification in time, they will be killed by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

Blood, ashes and residual limbs are mixed with soil, nourishing the land of northern Henan again and again. Perhaps after the war, Jiyuan will be the first area to escape the famine.

"Attention, everyone!"

"Add the howitzer battalion and start orderly transfer according to the combat plan!"

"Howitzer battalion, self-propelled rocket launcher battalion! Attack with the main force! Put the gun barrel on the shoulders of the commando!"

Yes, even though the current Eighth Route Army has lived a prosperous life, bayonets on cannons are still the most important skill of the artillery troops.

After the artillery preparation phase was over, the Red Arrow self-propelled rocket launcher and the relatively light-weight M1935b howitzer, which had been reloaded in a hurry, resolutely accompanied the attacking troops to continue the forward pressure.

Comrades will form artillery groups of several sizes in the open areas of the battlefield to provide fire support to the assault troops with direct targeting.

The reason for this simple and crude tactic is simple.

Compared with some of the sacred mule and horse empires on the European battlefield, the Eighth Route Army artillery is equipped with a large number of tractor trucks, which has obvious advantages in mobility.

With air superiority and heavy fire suppression, the Japanese artillery had no chance to counterattack.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the most efficient way to attack is to shoot from close range and ride on the face to output.

······

Time goes back five minutes to the Japanese headquarters in Jiyuan.

After inspecting his own defense line, the top commander of the Manchuria-Mongolia Development Youth League returned to his combat conference room. Looking at the busy staff officers, he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Where is the investigation team? Have they sent back any useful information?"

In large-scale battles, intelligence support is also an important part of combat effectiveness, and it directly affects every decision-making step of the command system.

In order to guard the entrance to northern Henan, Onodera and Den had dispatched special high-tech elites as early as a week ago in an attempt to spy on the Eighth Route Army's troop deployment before the war began.

Faced with the questions from their own parents, the Japanese staff in the combat conference room fell silent. For a while, no one dared to stand up and answer the questions.

Seeing this, the old devil could only sigh helplessly.

There is no way, who makes my own skills inferior to others?

Whether it was a local puppet army team or a professional agent who had experienced hundreds of battles, they all seemed to be lost in the sea after setting off, failing to return any useful intelligence.

In the duel with the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance force, they were completely defeated.

After a while, Onodera and Noboru adjusted their mentality as much as possible, pretending to be confident and forcibly boosting morale:

"Continue to send agents. This time, let them sneak into the control area of ​​the Guo Preserved First War Zone first, and then pretend to be fleeing civilians and go north across the Yellow River to see if they can sneak into Zhongtiao Mountain."

"We can't just defend, so intelligence is very important."

Hearing this, the Japanese staff officers in the combat conference room all cheered and agreed.

Now that the door is blocked, the only breakthrough is preserved fruit.

After all, Baldhead's ability to prevent penetration is very poor, and many departments can even be described as unilaterally transparent.

If the agents are lucky enough, they might be able to find out about the Eighth Route Army in western Henan.

After arranging a series of battle plans, Onodera and Deng silently came to the military map and ordered the staff in the conference room:

"Notify the troops at all levels that in the first stage of this battle, we should make full use of the solid fortifications to consume the Eighth Route Army's manpower while striving to defeat the enemy's first echelon offensive.

"Once the enemy shows signs of fatigue, we will put all the troops into battle."

"Combine the main force, the reserve and the Imperial Army, and combine the big fight, the medium fight and the small fight, and strive to burn the war into the territory of Shanxi Province."

The above battle plan is basically the best solution that the old devil can think of at this stage. According to him, this is called using the enemy's tactics to deal with the enemy.

The Eighth Route Army endured for more than two years like this, and he only needs to hold on for three months, which should be no problem.

As if he thought of something important, he emphasized:

"The enemy's artillery is indeed superior in quantity and quality, but their tactics are very rigid, and they will inevitably conduct a round of test firing before each attack."

"As long as we make good use of the time difference, we will be able to reduce the losses of the troops. "

As soon as the old devil finished speaking, a deafening explosion sounded from the west. The violent vibration almost collapsed the command post that had been built just a few days ago.

"What's going on! ?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Onodera and Deng rushed outside and picked up a telescope to look at the first line of defense.

Dense and synchronized explosions continued to rise on their own positions. Many half-buried bunkers and artillery towers were like paper, and were easily wiped out by enemy artillery fire.

Soon, news from the front line came back from the telephone line.

"Major General! The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade called! They encountered an attack from a 155mm artillery group! According to the current intensity, the fortifications on the line of defense will definitely not last until tomorrow! "

After these words came out, Onodera and Deng felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard on the ass.

I just said that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was very rigid and would not bombard without test firing. Who would have thought that just a few seconds later, the other party would slap him in the face with actual actions.

······

In fact, it is not the fault of the old devils for not having seen the world.

Strictly speaking, it should be said that the Jiyuan Japanese army was too lucky. Because their frontal enemy was the first batch of outstanding graduates of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Academy.

The TG artillery, which has undergone systematic learning, will pre-calculate a large number of shooting parameters based on the results of many means of reconnaissance before the war.

In every battle, comrades only need to find the data corresponding to the current conditions and use the formula to complete accurate bombardment.

In this way, the enemy will not encounter a test firing warning of one or two shells at all.

Faced with the sudden attack of a large number of shells, using the time difference to avoid it has become a foolish dream.

It is worth mentioning In order to make a good start, Director Zhao specially selected the simultaneous impact tactic that has both visual effects and surprise effects.

Before the attack begins, all artillery groups within the range will be notified, and comrades need to calculate the shooting parameters according to the time and distance of the artillery shells.

The cumbersome process makes the first shells fired by each gun fall on the target point almost at the same time.

This concentrated fire will produce a thunderous and devastating direct damage effect. The enemy's position will be torn to pieces by the almost brutal artillery offensive, and the target personnel will have no room to dodge or cover.

Overall, the biggest difficulty of this tactic lies in coordination.

It not only requires the improvement of communication equipment in each unit, but also has high requirements for the military quality of officers and soldiers.

However, for TG, the above difficulties are not a problem. Because the simultaneous impact tactic happens to be one of the primary training courses of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Academy. (End of this chapter)
