The headquarters command room of the Sixth Division.

A group of Japanese military officers were listening to the instructions of Division Commander Hisao Tani with their heads lowered.

After circling around like a vicious wolf, Commander Hisao Tani cursed angrily: "Baga! Is the China Army in Yuhuatai so difficult to fight? Looking at you one by one, you have completely disgraced our Kumamoto Division.

!Especially you Takeda-kun, I have always been very optimistic about your 13th Regiment? Why did you defeat it too!"

Straightening his waist, Captain Takeda responded bravely: "I have failed the division commander's trust, and I am willing to commit suicide by caesarean section to thank the Emperor!"

Giving Captain Takeda a hard slap, Commander Hisao Tani scolded him sternly: "It's not that easy to die? I'll write down this account for you first, the lives of hundreds of imperial warriors! You have to

Earn it back for me one by one! Otherwise, you are not qualified to die!"

Captain Takeda, who received a severe slap, straightened his back again: "Hai! I swear to serve the empire to the death!"

Those who run the army need to combine leniency with severity.

As the military commander of an elite division, Division Chief Hisao Tani naturally knows this truth.

Now is the time to employ men, and Hisao Tani's division cannot kill the general rashly.

Moreover, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. The defeat of one battle cannot completely negate Captain Takeda's past outstanding military exploits.

Looking at Captain Takeda again, Commander Hisao Tani asked in a low voice: "Have you recovered Kuroki-kun's body?"

Captain Takeda shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, we got it back! It's just..."

Seeing that Captain Takeda was hesitating, Commander Hisao Tani scolded: "It's just nothing!"

Captain Takeda then shouted: "It's just that our soldiers killed four more Imperial warriors while carrying Kuroki's body?"

With dark clouds on their faces, Hisao Tani's division asked in shock: "What is going on? The Chinese army did not abide by the Geneva International Convention and actually opened fire during the armistice?"

Haha, it's disgusting that Hisao Tani, an old man, is willing to talk about international conventions.

After thinking for a while, Captain Takeda said: "The Chinese army did not shoot at our soldiers. They just set up booby traps under the bodies of Kuroki-kun and other fallen warriors. At least one of our soldiers in the squad lost their combat effectiveness!"

The face of the commander of the Tanishi Division became more and more ugly, like an active volcano about to erupt. He roared: "Baga! Cunning commander of the China Army! Chief of Staff, have you figured out the number of the China Army on the other side that is fighting us?

?”

The chief of staff standing aside responded: "Your Excellency, the division commander, according to the information sent by intelligence personnel, we are fighting against the 262nd and 264th brigades of the 88th German Arms Division on the opposite side."

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Tani Hisao division said: "Yo Xi, wasn't this 88th Division crippled by the imperial army in Shanghai? Why is it still so powerful in combat? It seems that this guy surnamed Sun is not simple!"

The chief of staff continued: "The 45th Regiment and the 13th Regiment were defeated many times by a supplementary regiment of the 262nd Brigade."

Suddenly suspicious, Hisao Tani asked in surprise: "Nani? The one who killed and wounded our Sixth Division many times was actually a low-level supplementary regiment! What is the number of this regiment and who is its commander?"

Putting their heels together, the chief of staff replied: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the 1st Reserve Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division of the China Army, Major Commander Liang Shanhao!"

The commander of the Tani Hisao division was stunned: "Liang Shanhao? What is his origin? Have you found any information about him?"

The chief of staff said: "According to intelligence reports, Liang Shanhao graduated from the ninth phase of the Nanjing Central Military Academy, specializing in infantry. He studied armored force technology at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany and is good at special operations!"

The commander of the Tani Hisao division chuckled: "I thought he was an elite from the mainland of the empire? I thought he was someone like Jiang Baili! I didn't expect that the Huangpu clique in China could also cultivate such a talent. It seems that our empire

The army has finally met its match!"

In fact, the commander of the Tani Hisao division did not know that the reason why Liang Shanhao fought so outrageously was because of the God of War system behind him.

The command level of Huangpu officers is at best one-half of that of the Japanese military academy, and indeed cannot be compared with Japanese commanders.

Occasionally, you go to the Berlin Military Academy in Germany to study abroad, and you have to be useful. Otherwise, it will be useless to learn German armored weapons. With the level of industrialization in China at that time, learning it is also the art of slaying dragons, because there are no tanks for you to play with.

!

As the saying goes: It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

As for Liang Shanhao, who has been added to the system, coupled with his Huangpu status and experience studying in Germany, it is a different matter.

At this time, Colonel Dongxiang of the Heavy Artillery Regiment walked into the division headquarters command room.

Suddenly standing at attention, Togo Colonel Hisao Asakatani, the commander of the division, gave a standard Japanese military salute: "Your Excellency, the division commander, Togo Jiro of the 38th Heavy Artillery Battalion is here to report!"

With a joyful expression on his face, the commander of Hisao Tani's division laughed loudly and said: "Hey! Mr. Togo came just in time! The China Army is going to make them suffer severely this time."

The commander of the division, Hisao Asaya, bowed and Colonel Togo said: "Your Excellency, division commander, the heavy artillery carried by my heavy artillery brigade encountered bad road conditions on the way, so it was late. I hope that your Excellency, the division commander, will forgive me!"

Hisao Tani's division laughed: "What's wrong with you? You guys didn't come too early or too late. Tomorrow you will bombard the position of the first reserve regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the China Army. I don't believe in that supplementary regiment."

Commander can still survive the fire of our empire."

Colonel Togo responded: "Hai! Tomorrow we must let the Chinese army on the opposite side know what the truth of the empire is."

The commander of the Tani Hisao division asked again: "Where is our heavy artillery now? I want to personally inspect the empire's great weapon."

Range is truth, caliber is justice.

Division Chief Hisao Tani has always believed in these two sentences.

Is there anything on the Chinese battlefield that the God of War cannot solve? If so, then use a round of heavy artillery to wash the ground. If there are still more, then wash the ground a second time until no one is left alive in the opponent's position.

The Songhu battlefield and the imperial naval guns entering the Huangpu River have already verified this truth.

Even though the Chinese army put millions of troops into the battlefield, they were still bombed to pieces in the face of imperial artillery fire.

At a position 1,000 meters away from the headquarters of the Sixth Division, Japanese soldiers of the 38th Battalion were busy digging heavy artillery positions.

The Sixth Division was the main force in the attack on Nanjing City. The Central China Front Army specially assigned a heavy artillery brigade to Commander Hisao Tani to ensure the firepower requirements for the attack.

Colonel Togo's heavy artillery brigade is equipped with a total of 8 150mm Type 89 cannons.

The cannon has a total weight of 10,422 kilograms, an upward and downward firing angle between minus five degrees and plus 43 degrees, a horizontal firing angle of 20 degrees on the left and right, a maximum range of 18,100 meters, a muzzle velocity of 734.5 meters per second, and can fire up to two rounds per minute.

, can use both Type 93 grenades and Type 93 sharp bullets, and can also fire poison gas bombs.

On the Songhu battlefield, the Type 89 cannon exchanged fire with the SFH18 howitzer equipped by the 10th Chinese Artillery Regiment, but it did not lose at all.

The gun played a huge destructive effect on the Chinese battlefield, especially the Shanghai battlefield. The 88th Division once suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the gun.

The Sixth Division itself has various other types of artillery, and so many artillery pieces will definitely be enough to give the Chinese army in Yuhuatai a drink.

Surrounded by a group of officers, Division Commander Hisao Tani inspected the eight heavy artillery pieces lined up with great satisfaction.

Holding his command sword, Hisao Tani shouted to the soldiers of the heavy artillery battalion: "Warriors of the empire, let the Chinese army have a taste of our power tomorrow!"

Seeing the division commander's personal inspection, the imperial soldiers who had already stood at attention shouted in unison: "Invade Nanjing City! Steal food, money, and women."

Looking at the tiger-and-wolf-like soldiers with great satisfaction, Division Commander Hisao Tani continued walking along the artillery group.

Seeing a soldier who looked like a sergeant, Hisao Tani's division stopped and asked, "Where is your hometown?"

Quickly putting down the shovel in his hand, the tall and powerful sergeant replied: "Reporting to the division commander, I am from Hokkaido."

Reaching out and patting the strong shoulder of the sergeant, the commander of the division, Hisao Tani, laughed muffledly and said: "There are a lot of good soldiers there. They are all very brave. You have to give me a good artillery drill tomorrow! Into Nanjing City,

I’ll treat you to sake and Japanese sashimi.”

The sergeant from Hokkaido suddenly stood up: "Hai! Serve for your Excellency, the division commander!"

Under the night sky, the muzzles of eight heavy guns were pointed directly at the Yuhuatai position, especially the position where Liang Shanhao prepared the first regiment.

Just waiting for daybreak, the eight heavy artillery pieces will wash the ground crazily, and the soldiers of the 262nd Brigade will be tested by the fire of war again.
Chapter completed!
