"Oh, okay!"

Tucheng Zhengyi let out a long sigh. Although it is said that far away water is not enough to save near fire, he can still look forward to plum blossoms to quench his thirst. It is better to have a thought than to despair directly.

Boom!

Just as the two old devils were talking to each other, a dull explosion sounded from far away.

"what!"

The two old devils were shocked, and quickly retracted their heads. Although they knew that the cannon was definitely not aimed at their two little ones, they still couldn't help shaking.

Boom!

Time passed by second by second, just when the two old devils were praying that the cannon would not hit, and it must be shot sideways, a shocking explosion dozens of times louder than before suddenly came from the Huashan Fortress not far away. came.

The shocking explosion was like the thunder of the Nine Heavens descending on the world. The deafening thunder rolled in, full of the palpitating majesty of heaven and earth, which made people tremble involuntarily in the depths of their souls.

After a while, Tucheng Zhengyi gradually recovered, shook his dizzy head, and then quickly picked up the binoculars and looked towards the mountain top on the left rear.

"Baga! How could this happen?"

"Oh my god, is this the power of the Huaxia army's train cannon?"

"This, this, this is too accurate..."

At a glance, Tucheng Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, and kept chanting.

Through the binoculars, Tucheng Zhengyi clearly saw a huge hole in the main fort on the top of the mountain that had been bombed by planes many times before.

This shot did not directly hit the firing hole of the turret, but it was not far behind. The rock formation several meters away was smashed to pieces, blasting a crater several meters deep, causing great damage to the main fort on the top of the mountain.

If the point of impact of this cannon moved more than four meters to the right, one of the forts in the main fort on the top of the mountain could be directly destroyed without thinking about it.

This time luck was a little bit better, but what about next time?

Is there a next time?

With such accuracy, at most three shots can destroy one of the forts.

Then, it's time for the next target.

Without the long-range fire suppression of the turret, the result would be that the Huben army directly bullied the door to suppress and beat all the fortifications bit by bit.

Further down, Tucheng Zhengyi really didn't dare to think about it.

Chapter 1267

"Mr. Tucheng, we don't have to have any other illusions. The only thing we can do is to fight them to the end and try our best to delay the time. We have no other choice!"

Seeing that the mountain was blown to pieces not far away, Lianhua Fengji gritted his teeth and looked back at the huge black monster in the distance.

It's here, it's here again, the damn Huaxia train cannon is here again!

"Baga Road! Send an order to let the imperial warriors in the bunkers and forts retreat to a safe area first. After the damn Chinese army officially attacks, we will fight them to the death."

Hearing the shocking explosions one after another in the distance, Tucheng Zhengzheng's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the hatred in his heart was overwhelming. At this moment, how much he longed for the Imperial Air Force to come and take these damn large-caliber cannons They were all blown up.

Yesterday, after watching the fire from the other side and listening to the gunfire all day, Tucheng Zhengyi was worried all day, and he couldn't even sleep well at night.

But the development of things will not be changed because of subjective consciousness. What should come will come after all. Today is finally the turn of Tucheng Justice's defense zone.

"Play well, play well!"

After observing the shelling effect, Pi Shengjun waved his big hand in great satisfaction and said:

"Don't stop other artillery. And don't stop even if you contact the air force bomber group. First smash all the turtle shells that are within reach, and then we will rush up and kill all the little devils hiding inside. .

1 years is too long to seize the day, and we must capture the Huashan Fortress within today, and advance the front to the Huangtaishan Fortress! "

The Gustav Cannon is expensive, and there is only one in the Huben Army at present, so it is naturally impossible to just rely on it to fire slowly and slowly.

Not only is the efficiency slow, but the Gustav cannon can't withstand such high-intensity consumption. Therefore, the key targets of the Gustav cannon are those fortresses, fortresses, and main defenses that have dangerous terrain and have been made extremely strong by the devils. fort.

At the same time, the Huben air force and artillery units must also carry out simultaneous bombardment of other military targets.

Among the heavy artillery currently owned by the Huben Army, the second only to the Gustav cannon is the 600mm Karl self-propelled mortar.

A mortar is a smoothbore artillery with a short barrel, large firing angle, low muzzle velocity, and high arc trajectory. The ratio of the caliber to the length of the barrel is usually below 1:12 to 1:13.

Because of its short and thick body and its shape similar to Chinese stone mortars, it is called "mortar gun" in Chinese. It has the characteristics of short range and powerful projectiles, and is mainly used to destroy solid fortifications.

At present, the Huben Army is equipped with 4 Carl Mortars, which are tracked self-propelled artillery, with a total length of 11.15 meters, a width of 3.16 meters, a height of 4.78 meters, a total weight of 124 tons, a maximum speed of 10 kilometers per hour, and a maximum travel distance of 40 kilometers. .

The mortar has two types of shells, one is a 2.2-ton heavy shell with a maximum range of 4.3 kilometers; the other is a 1.575-ton light shell with a maximum range of 6.65 kilometers.

In addition, when necessary, it can be replaced with an 11.5-caliber 540mm mortar to greatly increase the range.

Carl mortars are rear loaded, and there are hydraulic and mechanical assists in the feeding and other links. Usually, the ammunition delivery vehicle is used to hoist the 2-ton warhead to the rear of the gun, and then use a special push rod to push the bullet into the chamber, and finally insert the propellant.

The warhead falls vertically at the end of the flight, can penetrate a concrete layer up to 2.5 meters thick, and then explodes under the action of a delayed fuze.

Each Karl mortar is equipped with a squad of 19 people, including 1 commander and 18 gunners. In addition, the chassis also needs 1 driver and [-] driver and [-] driver and [-] driver.

The Carl Mortar is much more maneuverable and operable than the Gustav Cannon. It does not require special iron tracks, and it can fire 6 rounds per hour, which is quite destructive to fortifications.

But the short range is a flaw, and there is no way to face-to-face with the devil's fort.

It's just that the size is short and the size is good. The Karl mortar can take advantage of its maneuverability to enter the blind spot of the fort, or to bombard those fortifications that have no power to fight back, and carry out fast, accurate and ruthless demolition operations. .

"It's necessary to take advantage of his illness to kill him! Please rest assured, the deputy commander, the brothers are all motivated, and will definitely complete the goal according to quality and quantity!"

Wan Jianwu nodded vigorously. As long as they can guarantee the air dominance, there is no reason why they cannot complete the task.

Three hours later, after the uninterrupted precision bombardment of the artillery and the repeated bombing of the bombers, the strong fortifications such as the forts and bunkers on the front of the Huashan Fortress were finally smashed one by one.

Even Huangtaishan Fortress, a few kilometers away from Huashan Fortress, was severely damaged by repeated bombing.In particular, almost all the forts that were focused on were seriously damaged, and most of the artillery were blown up and could not be used.

"Brothers, go!"

"Finally it's our turn to play!"

"charge!"

"Kill it!"

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and the tank troops and infantry troops who had been waiting for a long time, went down the mountain and attacked the outer defense line and main position of Huashan Fortress in separate ways.

Immediately afterwards, the helicopter unit also rushed over, responsible for providing fire support in the air, and ruthlessly bombarded those devils who dared to take the lead.

"Baga! The Huaxia Huben army is coming up, hurry up and enter the position!"

"The warriors of the empire fought against the Chinese army!"

"Tao time to change!"

The ghost soldiers who survived the heavy bombardment by relying on the fortifications such as anti-gun holes, underground air-raid shelters, and tunnels shook their heads and came out of their hiding places, trying to use the remaining fortifications to fight the battle of attrition with the Tiger Army's position and make the final battle. sucker Punch.

……

North China Front Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Peking.

Although Beiping is two to three hundred kilometers away from fierce fighting, various news have been coming in like snowflakes recently, and senior generals of the North China Front Army such as Shimomura Sada and Tanabe Moritake still feel the chill.

After Ningji Okamura was urgently transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Expeditionary Army, Sada Shimomura, who was still the principal of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, was promoted to the commander of the North China Front Army by the front line.

Just over two months after he took office, Shimomura Ding’s buttocks hadn’t warmed up, and before he had finished clearing out the anti-Japanese base areas in North China, the Huben Army suddenly started to do something special.

In just five days, the situation in Shandong changed drastically. The Tigers and Ben army conquered the defense line of the Yellow River and crossed the defense line of the Tuhai River like a tiger out of a cage, pushing dozens of kilometers along the way.

Now, the Huben Army has successively conquered more than ten counties in the Lubei Plain, and is further pushing and crushing the towns in the Luxi Plain at an extremely fast speed.

According to the current trend, within three or four days at most, the entire Shandong Plain area north of the Yellow River will completely fall into the hands of the Huben army.

Chapter 1268 Anticlimactic

At the same time, a series of fortress systems carefully constructed by the Japanese army in the east of Jinan were conquered one by one by the Huben Army. The 1th Division of the 7st Army of Huben not only occupied all the commanding heights in the east of Jinan, but also approached the city.

The mountainous fortress group in the south of Jinan City also failed to completely block the attacking pace of the Huben Army. After several days of indiscriminate bombing and continuous strong attacks, the 1st Division of the Huben Army has successively conquered many mountain peaks, like a sharp knife tearing apart Devil's defense system.

Although it has not completely broken through the defense chain of the southern mountain fortress, it will be a matter of time.

On the north side of the Yellow River in Jinan City, the 8th Huben Army has conquered Jiyang County, Qihe County, Yucheng County and other counties, and firmly controlled the Yellow River defense line to the north of Jinan City. North Gate.

Even the 8th Army in other places advanced further, and after conquering Ping County, Dong'e County, and Liaocheng County, it was completely possible to forcibly cross the Yellow River and outflank Jinan from the north.

If that step is really reached, Jinan City will be completely divided and surrounded by the Huben Army and become an isolated city.

Under the repeated urging and orders of the Japanese base camp, in order to support and contain the offensive rhythm of the Chinese Huben Army, the Japanese 13th Army had to bite the bullet and launched several times against the Huben Army defense areas such as Ju County, Yishui County, and Mengyin County. Attacks of varying sizes.

The Japanese Ninth Flying Division attached to the 13th Army also dispatched a certain number of bombers and fighter jets to cooperate in the operation.

The 13th Army's routine of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" was done in a decent manner. Every time it attacked, it seemed that it wanted to break through the defense line of the Huben army with all its strength and enter the Shandong Peninsula.

At the same time, Shigeru Sawada, the commander of the 13th Army, also dispatched an independent mixed brigade with a staff of 8000 people from Fuji County and Zou County to the north, posing a posture of going north to support the Jinan battlefield.

However, these "fake moves" did not play much role!

The multiple tough attacks launched by the 13th Army on Juxian County, Yishui County and other places were all blocked by the local garrison troops of the Huben Army, and the more than [-] field troops who were always on standby at all times were not used at all.

Moreover, the local garrison of the Huben Army with a high fighting spirit and the cooperation of the Huben Army Air Force launched a series of tough counterattacks, severely injuring the Japanese devils who came to do things several times.

In the two or three days before and after, the 13th Army paid four to five thousand lives, not to mention the loss of tanks, artillery and even combat aircraft.

Conversely, the casualties paid by the Huben Army can be described as negligible, at most it was a lot of ammunition wasted and a certain amount of technical equipment wasted.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. After going back and forth, Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army, once again deeply realized the cold reality of "skills are not as good as people".

As a result, Shigeru Sawada could only rein in the precipice, and ended the military operation of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" in an anticlimactic manner, and strictly ordered all units of the 13th Army to "keep calm", and no longer take the initiative to attack the Huben Army defense area without a clear order.

Up to now, no matter how the base camp urges, and no matter how the chief of staff Takayuki Miura fanned the flames, Shigeru Sawada has gritted his teeth and refused to do such a stupid act of losing money and shouting.

As for the devils' independent mixed brigade that was going north along the road, let alone the devils themselves did not believe that they would play much substantive role after they arrived in Jinan.

The 13th Army of the Devils was completely beaten, and the more than 10 Tiger-Ben Field Army, which had been serving as a reserve force, also began to gradually invest in the front-line battlefield, increasing its offensive against the Luxi Plain and Jinan.

For a time, the Japanese 12th Army, 21st Army, and 22nd Army in Shandong were all under unprecedented pressure and were retreating at an extremely fast speed.

"Before our North China Front Army formally intervenes in the Shandong war, the Shandong war is irreversible, and the Jinan government may not last long."

Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, Tanabe Shengwu, stared at the war sand table in front of him, sighed and said: "And according to historical intelligence analysis, the Huben Army's defensive capabilities are even better. Take it out of your mouth!"

"Yes, this is indeed a very difficult problem. Even if our North China Front Army has obtained more than 30 elite troops of the Kwantung Army, this battle may not be easy!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Arimesei Misaka nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a worried expression: "If the Huben Army's appetite is only the Shandong Plain area north of the Yellow River and Jinan, then we can breathe a sigh of relief.

But if their goal is no longer one city and one place, but to push all the way to a decisive battle with our North China Front Army in advance, then the consequences will be unimaginable. "

"The crux of the problem lies in the air force. Although we have more than 1600 combat aircraft in our hands including the Eighth Flying Division of the Kwantung Army, the performance of the Zero fighters currently equipped by the Imperial Air Force is far behind, and there is no way to do it." Compete with the Huben Air Force."

Speaking of this, Mori Tanabe paused, looked at Shimomura Sada and said: "Although the latest fighter jet of the Empire is about to be successfully developed and mass-produced, after all, it will take a long time.

Even if we are far more numerous than the Huben Air Force at present, if we want to have another large-scale air decisive battle with the Huben Army, I am afraid our chances of winning will not be too great. "

"Yes. The Imperial Air Force has fought many decisive battles with the Huben Air Force on the Shandong Peninsula and in the Burmese battlefield. Every decisive battle in the air will seriously damage the Imperial Air Force! The painful historical lesson must not be forgotten!"

Shimomura Sada nodded silently, his brows twisted into Chuan characters, thinking hard about how to deal with the current situation.

Even if he lent him a hundred guts at this moment, Shimomura Sada didn't have the courage to order the Air Force to go head-to-head with the Huben Air Force.

In response to the threat of the Huben Army, the Japanese base camp urgently assigned more than 12 Kwantung Army from 30 divisions to the North China Front Army temporarily, and almost all armored units and combat aircraft were also assigned to the North China Front Army.

In this way, the North China Front Army has a total strength of more than 60 at once. If the puppet army is added, its total strength easily exceeds 120 million.

But even so, Tanabe Moritake and the other old devils still frowned, not optimistic about the current war situation at all, let alone think of a clever plan to turn defeat into victory.

"Actually, we should not pay too much attention to the gains and losses of a city and a place. The Japanese Empire already has a vast land of tens of millions of square kilometers. We already have enough war resources and room for strategic maneuvering!"

After a long while, Shimomura took a deep breath, and said with a cold expression: "Since we have no way to take the initiative to fight the Huben army, we can only resist layer by layer and carry out limited defensive counterattacks to fight for the rebirth of the Imperial Air Force." time!

Mr. Tanabe, Mr. Yumo, what do you think? "

Chapter 1269

Tanabe Moritake nodded and said: "Although this decision is very helpless, it is indeed the wisest decision we have made at present."

Youmo Jingsan paused and said: "Yes, I have to admit that without air supremacy, the Imperial Army has no way to fight the Huben army head-on. The fanatical bushido spirit alone is not enough to help us destroy the powerful Huben army. We must Learn to be patient."

Reality has taught us how to be human. Although Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo are unwilling and want to wipe out the damn Chinese Huben Army, they know that even if they don't care about the price, they will use everything to fight and consume. It is also impossible to achieve at present.

"Shouga! Then it's decided!"

Shimomura nodded.
