    Of course, the reason why the Japanese army did not guard against the sneak attack by the artillery of the 111th Division was not only because they felt that the 111th Division could not have large-caliber artillery, but more importantly, they looked down on the Northeastern Army from the bottom of their hearts.

    It has been a day or two since the Japanese army looked down on the Northeastern Army. The reason is very simple. During the "September 18th Incident" a few years ago, the Northeastern Army's performance was really substandard.

    Before the war, Japan¡¯s Kwantung Army was at a loss, thinking that it would be an unprecedented bloody battle. The Northeastern Army¡¯s open force at that time frightened the Japanese army, because it was China¡¯s only army with complete sea, land and air forces.

    Especially after the change of flag in Southern Manchuria in 28 AD, this force was organized into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and incorporated into the Nanjing government military system, with a strength of approximately hundreds of thousands.  As for the army alone, after having refined its troops and streamlined its administration, the Northeast Army still has a main force of about 400,000, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong.

    The weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army are also very advanced. The rifles are Type 65 and Type 79 rifles, the mortars are Type 16; the submachine guns are Bergman, the heavy machine guns are Maxim heavy machine guns, and Browning 30-knot models.  Heavy machine gun, imitation Japanese Type 38 heavy machine gun; mortar 150mm mortar, 80mm mortar; imitation Japanese Type 38 105mm field cannon; howitzer is 21 times caliber 100mm light howitzer, light howitzer, Type 38  150mm howitzer; field guns are Liao 14-year-old 37mm flat-fire cannon, m1903 75mm 29x caliber field gun, m1905 75mm 30x caliber field gun, m1908 75mm 30x caliber field gun.

    The Northeastern Army also had the largest number of tanks in Asia at that time. Historical records indicate that Zhang Zuolin sent a tank unit during the Zhang-Jiang War, with a total of 36 "Reno" ft-17 tanks.  Only the Northeast Army has tanks in China, which even Chiang Kai-shek envied.

    In its heyday, the Northeast Air Force had more than 400 aircraft, including bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, trainer aircraft, and civil aviation aircraft, and most of them were advanced aircraft purchased from various Western powers at that time.  During the Kuomintang period, it had more than 300 aircraft, most of which were supported by the United States.  Compared with the Northeast Army's air force, it is inferior.

    In addition, the Zhang family and his son were dedicated to expanding armaments. Their military weapons imitated the world's military powers at that time, such as Britain, France, Germany and other countries. Their military equipment and soldiers' military training were first-rate among domestic warlords at that time.

    In its heyday, the Northeast Navy "had 27 large and small ships, with a tonnage of about 32,200 tons. At that time, there were only 42,000 tons of warships in the country, and the Northeast accounted for 76.7%. There were 3,300 officers and soldiers in the Northeast Navy. There were about 5,400 people in the national navy, and the Northeast accounted for 61%.  ".

    With so many outstanding soldiers and such powerful firepower support, during the September 18th Incident, they surrendered without firing a single shot, resulting in 30 million Chinese becoming slaves to the subjugation of the country. How sad this is.  Sad, sad!

    "If we can fight the Japanese army head-on, we will definitely win a great victory, and there will be no more eight years of resistance war."

    Since then, the entire Japanese military has regarded the Northeastern Army as a worse force than the Tsarist Russian army. Many Japanese commanders will show disdain when they hear that their opponent is the Northeastern Army.

    However, what they don¡¯t know is that since the Northeast Army withdrew to the pass, they have been looked down upon and insulted, and everyone has suffered from top to bottom. Everyone has one idea, that is, to fight back to their hometown.

    Inspired by this idea, although there are only 6 corps left with more than 100,000 troops in the whole army, they dare to fight and fight hard. If anyone dares to cower on the anti-Japanese battlefield, the soldiers under his command will not let them go.  .

    For example, the commander of the 57th Army was overthrown by Commander Chang and others because he secretly colluded with the Japs. He was almost executed as a traitor.

    One side is underestimating the enemy's carelessness, and the other side is suppressing the anger for more than ten years. This battle is clearly about enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet, and no one will give in to the other!

    This is like a master's fight. If you are not careful, you may be shattered to pieces. If the Japanese army underestimates the enemy in this situation, the result can be imagined!

    When the artillery battalion of the 57th Army fired hundreds of artillery shells into the Japanese artillery regiment's position, the entire Japanese artillery position was instantly swallowed up by violent explosions.

    Since the Japanese artillery often stored ammunition nearby when firing, this sudden attack caused a large number of shells to explode, and the consequences were catastrophic.

    When the dust cleared, the 12 Type 41 mountain guns and six 75mm-caliber field guns on the frontier Japanese artillery positions were all blown into scrap metal, with less than one-fifth of them usable.

    What makes Major General Nagano even more distressed is that this shelling caused the death of a large number of gunners!

    Unlike those cheap infantry, every gunner is an elite carefully cultivated by the Empire of Japan over the years. After all, operating a cannon is much more difficult than operating a rifle.??It is impossible for anyone without much mathematical ability to truly understand large-caliber artillery, unless they are geniuses.

    The energy and cost of cultivating a qualified artillery force is beyond imagination. Even if it is as powerful as the Japanese army, there are not many qualified artillery soldiers, and every one of them is a treasure.

    But what Major General Nagano didn¡¯t expect was that due to their negligence, they were only attacked once by the opponent, and more than half of the artillery and one-third of the artillery in their hands were handed over here.

    "Baga, immediately order the artillery behind you to join the battle and knock out that person's artillery unit!" Major General Nagano shouted loudly.

    "Hai!"

    Amid Major General Nagano¡¯s furious roar, the remaining artillerymen of the Japanese 110th Division Artillery Regiment began to show off their power again!

    ¡°Perhaps the national army really stimulated these Japanese soldiers. The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted beyond imagination, almost reaching an hour.

    You know, limited by the production and transportation costs of artillery shells, even the Japanese army did not dare to use them openly during combat!

    Each shelling should last no more than 15 minutes. This has become a habit of the Japanese artillery troops. It only happens when they attack big cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan.

    But what Major General Nagano didn¡¯t know was that the Chinese artillery in the city moved directly to the west of the city after firing the shells. The Japanese artillery bombardment was obviously in vain.

    But Major General Nagano was obviously not just trying to attack the Chinese army¡¯s artillery. He was demonstrating to the national troops outside the city and venting his anger!

    However, what he didn't expect was that just as the shelling on their side stopped and the infantry was still gathering, fierce shelling sounded again in the city.

    Immediately afterwards, dense artillery shells fell towards the infantry assembly point!

    After a series of explosions, the infantry square was instantly blown to pieces!

    Although the loss was not very large, the impact on morale was fatal, and it felt like one would die before the attack was launched!

    "Bagaya Road, that person is very cunning!" Major General Nagano roared angrily.

    It was really hard for him to imagine how the artillery units in the city could move their positions in such a short period of time and accurately target the imperial army's infantry phalanx without test firing.

    In fact, this is not difficult to understand. The artillery in the city was just instructed by Li Guoyao!

    When Wen Debiao's troops were stationed in Heze City, they surveyed all areas within a five-kilometer radius outside the city, especially the main battlefield of the East Gate. The national army marked every inch of land here, and also  Did the homework on the picture.

    When Li Guoyao came, he handed all the relevant information to the 111th Division and told them how to use a small amount of artillery to counter the powerful Japanese artillery force.

    Fighting to death is the most unwise choice. This kind of guerrilla tactics is the most troublesome for the little devils, so this is the god-like artillery showdown in front of us!

    For now, the result of this artillery duel is still very satisfactory, at least for Commander Chang, Brigadier Wan and others.

    As for the little devils, they will naturally not be satisfied, but they have no way to deal with this situation!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
