Chapter 116 Comprehensive combat preparations
The Moon Army exposed eight field guns with a range of 10,000 meters in advance, which also sounded the alarm for the 358th Regiment.
After all, the six Shan orogenic cannons had already moved forward at this time. If the six orogenic cannons set up exposed positions, they would definitely be destroyed quickly.
And from the destructive power of the eight field guns' shelling, it is not difficult to see that they have strong strike capabilities.
No, because the guard company and the cavalry company threatened the heavy weapons of the Moon Army, and the eight field guns continued to be hidden.
So whether it is the 358 group or the new group, it will definitely suffer a big loss.
"Xuan Yun, the commander's department personally sent personnel here, and Commander Yan personally awarded me ten gold bars in recognition of my military exploits."
"And I was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel by the superior officer, and served as the attachment to the 358th Regiment, artillery battalion commander, and infantry artillery commander."
"The former Lieutenant Colonel Liang Guoping was assigned to the artillery battalion as the deputy battalion commander of the Lieutenant Colonel!"
"Xuan Yun, I and he are not from Jin Province. How about Bu Sheng? They can afford to beg the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties!"
"They don't want to think about other things for the time being. What they want to do now is to guard the land of Jin Province and severely attack the Yue army."
Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun, and he said with a serious expression on his face.
As he finished speaking, the guard behind him handed over a small box. It was obvious that the box contained gold bars.
Chen Ziyun naturally understands what Chu Yunfei means, so why not think about the issue of belonging in the future without asking.
Now that they are not the Jin-Sui Army, then they will try their best to fight as the Jin-Sui Army to protect the people of the three Jin Dynasties!
Of course, Chen Ziyun was too lazy to pay attention to those things. He just wanted to fight the Japanese, and he would be willing to do it anywhere.
"Don't worry, Tuan, he will definitely live up to your trust!"
"After this battle, the 358th Regiment will definitely become famous in Jin Province."
"He is confident and sure of repelling this encirclement and annihilation operation by the Yue puppet army, and causing them to pay heavy casualties!"
Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei in front of him and immediately made a statement.
"On that point, he doesn't believe me, Chen Ziyun."
"Please tell me if there is something that even I, Chen Ziyun, cannot do, then no one on the battlefield in Jin Province can do it."
"He did not deny what he said. The main force of the regiment will be handed over to me to command the battle. He will fully support any of my actions."
A smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face. He raised his binoculars, looked in the direction of Yangcun, and said directly.
That time when Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong came over, they asked the Lord if he could convey the orders from the superior department.
At the same time, they have informed the eastern battalions of the 358th Regiment in the name of the regiment headquarters.
After receiving the telegram from the Chief Executive's Department, Chen Ziyun's current position can be described as the perfect second-in-command of the 358th Regiment.
Chu Yunfei continued to authorize him to command the main force of the regiment, which was not justified.
Secondly, although Chu Yunfei did not say it directly, his meaning was very clear. The 358th Regiment should not sit back and watch in the Yangcun area!
He hoped that Chen Ziyun could seize the opportunity and take the initiative to attack, thereby delaying the attack by the puppet troops and destroying their combat forces as much as possible.
Although the overall casualties of the Moon and puppet troops are currently very high, they still retain a considerable number of heavy weapons troops.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the current heavy weapons of the puppet army, if they are fully supported by the aviation force, they will not be a huge threat.
After all, as of now, the overall casualties of the 358th Regiment are not small.
Counting those killed, seriously wounded, and lightly wounded, their casualties have exceeded a thousand!
Even if the troops of the fifth and sixth battalions were not at war with the Moon Army, they were bombarded and shelled one after another, and their casualties would have exceeded one hundred people.
Therefore, the Moon puppet army is not a threat.
Does Chu Yunfei hope that Chen Ziyun can completely cripple them and completely lose their combat effectiveness?
Chen Ziyun naturally wanted this. If Chu Yunfei had such an idea, then he could justifiably support the new regiment in the battle.
At 1:30 a.m., Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong began to return to the regiment headquarters from the frontline position.
Chen Ziyun, on the other hand, ordered the first artillery company and the second artillery company to advance forward, build shelter positions, and prepare for artillery bombardment.
Guard companies and cavalry companies will be on standby on both sides.
At the same time, Wu Ziqiang's second battalion troops in the high ground behind were transferred over by Chen Ziyun.
The second battalion's fighting strength is about 500. This unit has continued to fight and has a certain combat effectiveness.
Chen Ziyun transferred them here, so he was naturally prepared to let them cooperate with other troops in launching offensive operations.
The eight little devils have field guns with a range of 10,000 meters, which makes Chen Ziyun very envious.
I wonder if a few can be captured, so that the overall strength of their artillery battalion can be greatly improved.
What's more, he was very systematic in completing the task of killing Katayama Shoutaro. No matter what happened to Botan, he wanted to launch an attack.
"At the camp, the artillery battalion has made slight deviations in several shellings."
"After inspection, it was found that the six Shanxi orogenic cannons were worn to varying degrees compared to before."
"In view of the situation of the artillery built in Jin Dynasty, the artillery battery may not be able to carry out continuous bombardment when fighting from the east."
Ten minutes later, Chen Ziyun summoned the four company commanders of the artillery battalion and Zhou Wenbo of the observation team.
After Sun Xiong and Zhou Wenbo came over, they reported directly.
As guns and artillery are constantly being made, there will be a certain amount of wear and tear, which will lead to shooting problems.
In the original drama, Lao Li said that when he first joined the new regiment, the old slides and Hanyang rifling of the first battalion were worn away.
Then if the gun is worn, the bullets fired by such a rifle will not be accurate.
Although Chen Ziyun has a detailed shooting parameter table for the six Jin orogenic cannons provided by the system, there will naturally be deviations if the six Jin orogenic cannons are worn.
After all, when an artillery fires, it depends on the wear and tear of the artillery, wind direction, environment, humidity and other conditions to determine the precise strike.
"The artillery battery does not require continuous bombardment, so as to avoid situations such as explosion of the barrel."
"In addition, the observation team should record the relevant deviations as much as possible during the artillery bombardment, so as to compile a new shooting parameter table."
Chen Ziyun frowned and immediately gave the order.
If an artillery battery cannot sustain bombardment, the combat effectiveness of the artillery will be greatly affected.
Can you please continue to let them fight with high intensity? The artillery may be seriously damaged, so the gain outweighs the loss.
Is there any problem with the quality of Jin-made weapons? During the Battle of Xinkou, Jin-made artillery continued to bombard, and even exploded its barrel.
An artillery battery of six Jinshan cannons has a detailed firing parameter table provided by the system. If those six cannons are destroyed, the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion will be reduced by half!
Of course, speaking of it, we have to look at imported weapons at that time.
The six-gun Bofors Mountain Cannon of the Second Artillery Battery is of good overall quality, let alone poor quality.
Now Chen Ziyun can look forward to the system being able to provide detailed firing parameter tables for the six Bofors Mountain Cannons in the future.
Please tell me if there is a shooting parameter table for the six Bofors Mountain Cannons, then the overall combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by several levels!
That incident made Chen Ziyun realize that military operations are not a simple matter, and all aspects must be taken care of.
Even if there is system assistance, various problems are not enough to give Chen Ziyun a headache.
At this moment, Liang Guoping, wearing a lieutenant colonel's military uniform, arrived.
Because of the order from the commander-in-chief, Liang Guoping returned to the artillery battalion again and served as deputy battalion commander.
"Chen Tuanfu, Guoping was ordered to report and serve as the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion. I hope that Chen Tuanfu will take good care of him in the future."
"Everyone, Guoping has offended me a lot in the past. I would like to ask you to forgive me in person."
"If you have any use for Guoping in the future, just ask, Guoping will definitely give his full assistance."
Liang Guoping came to the artillery battalion's headquarters on the front line. After saluting, he said with a smile on his face.
At first Liang Guoping was very jealous of Chen Ziyun and wanted to punish Chen Ziyun every minute.
After many incidents, Liang Guoping discovered that he was not wrong at all.
Now even his biggest boss behind the scenes, Yan Laoxi, has begun to win over Chen Ziyun.
Liang Guoping didn't dare to have other ideas. At this time, he kept lowering his status.
Even if Sun Xiong and Li Yang were serving as company commanders, he did not act like a lieutenant colonel or deputy battalion commander.
"What happened in the past is in the past. Now that Lao Liang has returned to the artillery camp again, he will be one of his own."
"As long as I, Lao Liang, sincerely repent, they will definitely not care about what happened before."
"Old Liang, I came just in time. I am responsible for the artillery battalion's logistics supplies and the treatment of the wounded."
"Commander, go and find Wu Ziqiang, commander of the second battalion, and bring him back to the east for us to discuss the Yidong attack."
After Chen Ziyun saw Liang Guoping's gesture, he spoke directly.
Now he doesn't have time to calculate what happened before. After all, fighting in the east is the most important thing.
Liang Guoping was somewhat capable, so Chen Ziyun directly gave him a step up.
After hearing what Chen Ziyun said, Liang Guoping looked at Chen Ziyun with a grateful face.
After all, the artillery camp is completely out of Chen Ziyun's control now. If he doesn't hold grudges, then Liang Guoping will have no place at all in the artillery camp.
About seven or eight minutes later, Second Battalion Commander Wu Ziqiang arrived at the battalion headquarters.
Chen Ziyun picked up the baton and began to discuss the attack with the officers.
At this time, at the brigade headquarters of the independent fourth brigade, Major General Shotaro Katayama, the commander of the brigade, was extremely angry.
Several officers of the Japanese puppet army were slapped by him one after another. Not to mention the cheeks of those officers, Katayama Shoutaro's legs became red and swollen.
"The mortar brigade lost eight mortars, and the machine gun brigade lost ten heavy machine guns."
"The Fujita Brigade was completely annihilated, and the combat strength of the five independent infantry brigades was less than 2,000."
"Four artillery pieces of the artillery team were destroyed. Now eight field guns with a range of over 10,000 meters are completely exposed, but they have not achieved any results!"
"How do we direct the battle? Even if thousands of stupid pigs continue to attack, we can break through their position."
"Moriki Tsuneichi, that idiot of mine, the artillery of the two artillery brigades cannot have any effect on my legs."
"He thinks that my artillery lieutenant is inferior to the second lieutenant of the baggage force. Otherwise, if I let them independently form the fourth brigade, they will become a laughing stock!"
Katayama Shoutaro was furious. He glared at the Yue Puppet Army officer and kept roaring.
The lieutenant commander of the artillery team, Tsuneichi Moriki, was scolded bloody by him.
After all, the artillery team has absolute artillery advantages, but until now those advantages have not been used at all.
This was something Shotaro Katayama couldn't accept. He felt that Tsuneichi Moriki was simply an idiot.
Moriki Tsuneichi was so embarrassed by the scolding that he lowered his head and remained silent.
In the Yuan army, the baggage troops had no place at all.
Shotaro Katayama directly said that Tsuneichi Moriki was inferior to the second lieutenant of the heavy army. Did that severely blow his self-esteem?
"He will continue to contact the military headquarters and request aviation units to assist in operations."
"The main force continues to attack the new regiment in Yangcun. He hopes to completely break through their defensive positions before dark."
"The artillery of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will definitely continue to carry out artillery bombardments, and the aviation force will dispatch to attack them."
"The eight field guns of the artillery team assisted in the operation, thus completely suppressing the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops. They must not be allowed to have any influence on their operations."
"If the Dongyangcun position was extremely inappropriate in that battle, then we idiots should all have had their stomachs opened to apologize!"
The brigade headquarters was silent. Katayama Shoutaro slowly picked up the baton. He tapped the location of Yangcun on the map and said with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Hi, brigade commander Ge Dong." The Yue puppet army officer immediately agreed to come to Dong.
That time, Katayama Shoutaro directly assembled two thousand moon puppet troops and was directly responsible for the attack.
They carried out the advance operation in two groups, and unlike the previous attack, the machine gun brigade and mortar brigade directly strengthened their advance operation.
Can such heavy-weapons troops be able to carry out combat strikes at any time and effectively support the infantry in combat operations?
Six mountain guns and six field guns can also advance forward. At critical times, they will carry out direct bombardment to support infantry operations.
Katayama Shoutaro controlled more than 100 cavalry, and 500 puppet infantry were on the legs, directly serving as reserve forces.
Eight field guns with a range of more than 10,000 meters, otherwise they will continue to attack the 358th Regiment.
Katayama Shoutaro personally supervised the battle. Did he want to completely capture the Dongyangcun position before dark?
Maybe he didn't know that after the Yangcun battle started, Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade received the report immediately.
After getting in touch with Li Yunlong, Brigadier Chen formulated an operational concept to block the Japanese and puppet troops at the periphery.
Kong Jie commanded the independent regiment to advance to the side of Yangcun and build a deep defense position.
Ding Wei directed the New Second Regiment to advance toward the Yangcun flank and was responsible for ensuring the safety of the New First Regiment's flank.
In addition, when necessary, the troops of Ding Weixin's second regiment launched an active offensive to support the new regiment in the operation.
The troops of the two regiments quickly approached Yangcun and fully supported the new regiment's operations.
At the same time, at the New Regiment in Yangcun, Li Yunlong also began to make adjustments based on previous defensive operations.
The three battalions were directly under the machine gun company and gradually moved towards the commanding heights behind the position. They built machine gun positions at the commanding heights.
The grenadiers of each battalion were scattered on the cliff, and they were conducting artillery attacks from high altitudes to the east.
Wang Chengzhu's two infantry guns also began to build artillery positions to prepare for close support of the artillery attack.
The three infantry battalions concentrated their rifles and light machine guns on the positions for defensive operations.
Li Yunlong and other troops actively prepared, and they were ready to fight again.
At the same time, Chen Ziyun has not drawn up a complete attack plan.
He is ready to take the initiative to attack and find a way to destroy the Moon Army artillery unit!
