    "Boom boom boom"

    When the sky full of artillery shells hit the head, blowing up the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery was stunned by the sudden shelling!

    The Japanese artillery commander had already understood the defenders' artillery situation before the war. They knew that the defenders had large-caliber artillery, because in the battles of Daishan Town and Chihe Town, the defenders used 75mm-caliber mountain guns and  Wild artillery also used this shameless tactic to plot against the Imperial Japanese Army.

    However, during the critical battle in Fengyang, the defenders never used their artillery. In addition, after capturing Daishan Town and Chihe Town, they found at least 26 75mm caliber mountain cannons and 8 field guns of the same caliber on the defenders' positions.  The remains of the gun.

    In other words, the defenders once had at least one powerful mountain artillery regiment. Such artillery firepower is shocking!

    But that is a thing of the past, and now all these artillery pieces have become scrap metal. Therefore, Colonel Hideo Serikawa, the commander of the Japanese artillery regiment, judged that the defenders no longer had large-caliber artillery.

    After all, it is shocking that a miscellaneous division owns an artillery regiment. They obviously cannot be replenished in such a short period of time, not to mention that the Chinese army itself lacks artillery. Even if their superiors want to replenish them, they do not have the ability.

    Because of this, the Japanese artillery was unprepared and was eventually tricked by the defenders!

    Of course, it is impossible for the Japanese artillery captain to know the existence of cheating Li Guoyao. If he has enough points, he can get them even more advanced missiles, not to mention these artillery pieces that are about to become obsolete.

    What the Japanese army didn't know even more was that before the war, Li Guoyao asked the artillery to survey all the terrain within a five-kilometer radius of the county and mark the targets for shooting. As soon as the Japanese artillery fired, they would be able to use the artillery according to the shells.  The landing point was used to determine where the Japanese artillery positions were.

    This bombardment really caught the little Japanese off guard and caused heavy losses. After the bombardment, a complete Japanese artillery regiment of 36 mountain guns and a field artillery brigade equipped with 12 field guns were bombed, leaving only 14 guns.  The artillery can still be used, but the remaining 34 are all smoking scrap metal.

    More importantly, this shelling also caused the death of a large number of gunners. Although there are no specific casualty statistics, it can be seen from the corpses on the ground how much damage this shelling caused to the artillery regiment.

    Unlike those cheap infantry, the importance of artillery in the Japanese army is second only to aviation pilots, and is not even as important as ordinary naval soldiers. Every artilleryman is an elite trained by the Japanese Empire who spent a lot of financial and material resources.  .

    These artillery units are usually well protected. Even during combat, a large number of infantrymen must be around to protect them. Every loss of one person will make the senior commanders of the Japanese army angry. Unexpectedly, there will be casualties this time.  So tragic.

    What is most unacceptable to the Japanese artillery regiment captain is that his artillery regiment was completely replenished just the day before yesterday. The previous loss of two artillery brigades caused the combat effectiveness of his regiment to drop significantly.

    Later, at the request of the division commander, the commander of the front army, the commander personally ordered that 30 artillery pieces and 300 gunners be transferred from the Nanjing garrison to add to his regiment.

    However, no one expected that just two days later, his artillery regiment would once again suffer a devastating blow.

    Looking at the smoking wreckage of the artillery and the gunner's body that was blown to pieces, Senior Colonel Hideu Serikawa really wanted to cry without tears, and he even wanted to commit suicide!

    At this moment, the adjutant came over in a hurry and said, "Sir, the division commander called and asked about the situation here!"

    Colonel Hideo Serikawa sighed, then hurriedly returned to his command post, then picked up the phone and said: "Moxi Moxi, Artillery Regiment!"

    Soon the cold voice of the division commander came over the phone: "The shelling just now should have been aimed at your artillery position. How was the loss?"

    Colonel Serikawa Hide said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, our unit has suffered heavy losses. A total of 34 artillery pieces were destroyed, more than 200 gunners were lost, and one-third of the ammunition was lost"

    Before Colonel Hide Serikawa could finish speaking, the furious voice of Ryosuke Yoshizumi came over the phone: "Baga!"

    At this time, Colonel Hideo Serikawa did not dare to say anything, and could only say respectfully: "Hai!"

    The two people on both sides of the phone were silent. No one spoke across the phone. The atmosphere was a bit strange and dull.

    After a long time, Yoshizumi Ryosuke said in a deep voice: "Immediately move the position and at the same time strictly guard against the attack of the artillery."?We still need you for the next battle!  "

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­ dividing line¡­ dividing line¡­

    The damage caused by this shelling to the Japanese artillery was beyond imagination. It was equivalent to breaking half of Yoshizumi Ryosuke's spine with one punch!

    You must know that among the many arms of the Japanese army, including infantry, cavalry, engineers, artillery, and baggage troops, the only one that truly ranks at the forefront in the world is the artillery!

    During the Battle of Songhu, Chen Cheng¡¯s 14th Division of the 18th Army used eight mountain artillery pieces of the division to launch a sudden attack on the Japanese positions for three minutes, firing more than 100 shells.

    However, the Japanese artillery used acoustic detection, hyperbolic intersection and other methods to quickly detect the location of the division's artillery positions, and carried out suppressive fire within a few minutes. The Japanese army's large and small artillery including naval guns fired a salvo, covering the division.  The accuracy of the artillery positions far exceeded the artillery shooting level of the Kuomintang army.

    However, this time their artillery suffered a big loss on the Bengbu front line. So far, they have lost nearly 60 artillery pieces with a diameter of 75mm or more. These artillery pieces alone can arm an artillery brigade.

    Such losses have never been suffered by the Japanese army before. Even Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others with rich combat experience felt distressed.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We have lost so much artillery, but the other side has not suffered much losses. How will the next battle be fought?

    After the initial anger, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately ordered the radio operator to immediately send a report to the Central China Front Army Headquarters to report the situation on the front line, indicating that the defenders had at least another powerful artillery brigade in Bengbu City, hoping that the front army would order the aviation force to send the opponent's  Find the position and completely destroy it.

    After receiving the telegram from the Bengbu front line, the Central China Front Army Headquarters did not believe it at first. They all knew the situation of the Chinese army. Even the Central Army did not have such powerful artillery, let alone miscellaneous soldiers.

    However, Yoshizumi Ryosuke repeatedly guaranteed it with his military honor, and Enjunroku and others had no choice but to believe it. They immediately called the Aviation Corps and handed the matter over to the Aviation Corps to resolve.

    Just a few minutes later, a phone call came from the Aviation Corps, saying that their bomber formation had indeed discovered the defenders¡¯ large-scale artillery position in the urban area of ??Bengbu.

    Although they found the opponent's artillery position, the aviation bomber group did not dare to go down. The reason was that there was a large number of opponent's air defense forces in Bengbu city. They just tried a dive bombing, but the three planes just flew down, and before they could wait, they  When they dropped their bombs, they were beaten down by the opponent's intensive anti-aircraft firepower. All three fighter planes crashed without exception.

    What made the Japanese airmen even more chilly was that only three fighter planes were beaten down, and none of the crew members successfully parachuted.

    Therefore, the aviation regiment had to ask the commander of the front army for instructions on how to solve the problem, whether to continue the bombing or to return immediately!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
