Prepare the first regiment headquarters command post.

Liang Shanhao was nervously mapping the specific location of the Japanese 150mm howitzer on a drawing.

Based on the data provided by the God of War system, Liang Shanhao finally calculated the specific coordinates of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.

The length of the sfh18 150mm howitzer Liang Shanhao purchased from the system increased from 30 times to 32 times the diameter. Although the weight of the gun body increased, its range also increased to 15 kilometers.

The range of the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery is less than 10 kilometers, which means that Liang Shanhao's howitzer can hit the Japanese heavy artillery position beyond the range of the Japanese heavy artillery.

This is simply not very exciting.

Seeing the Japanese heavy artillery calibrated on the blueprint shooting at Zhu Yuan, Liang Shanhao couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

When the sfh18 howitzer launches a fire strike outside the range of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, it feels like a boxer with long hands and long legs hitting a short leg. The latter is out of reach and will only be beaten in the end.

This is the advantage of long range. It can hit the opponent beyond visual range, but the opponent can only look away and sigh, and can only be beaten, but unable to fight back.

The sfh18 howitzer inside the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, please start your show.

Seeing the telegraph operator operating the transmitter to send the coordinates of the Japanese howitzers to the 88th Division headquarters, Liang Shanhao was looking forward to the scene of fire and smoke on the Japanese position opposite.

After a while, the dispatcher told Liang Shanhao: "Report to the regiment, the division headquarters will call back! The coordinates have been received!"

Turning around suddenly, Liang Shanhao nodded: "Notify the whole group, their eyes widened, I want to invite everyone to watch the show! Haha!"

With a proud look on his face, Wang Daniu responded: "Yes!"

Seeing Wang Daniu walking out of the command post, Liang Shanhao picked up his binoculars and began to observe the Japanese positions on the opposite side.

The position of the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Sixth Division.

Some Japanese gunners were cleaning howitzer shells, while others were carrying shells in preparation for the next round of bombardment.

Looking triumphantly at the billowing smoke rising from the Chinese position opposite, Commander Hisao Tani laughed and shouted: "Our imperial artillery is invincible, but the Chinese army is mediocre! Haha!"

Captain Dongxiang on the side took up the conversation: "Your Excellency, division commander, when it comes to artillery, the Chinese army has never been a match for our imperial army. They have only a handful of heavy artillery, and they are simply unable to compete with our artillery power."

Holding his command knife, the commander of the Division Hisao Tani said seriously: "The only thing that can compete with us now is the 24 German heavy artillery pieces that are with us in Shanghai. Our imperial artillery suffered a lot a few months ago."

Captain Dongxiang agreed: "Yes, the 10th Artillery Regiment of the China Army killed and wounded many artillerymen of our empire in the Dachang area of ​​​​Shanghai. Our army's howitzers were unable to counterattack because the range was not as good as the heavy artillery of the China Army. Fortunately, our sky

With observation balloons and airplanes, we were able to suppress the artillery of the China Heavy Artillery Regiment. Otherwise, this Heavy Artillery Regiment would really be a big trouble!"

Looking at the eight Type 89 cannons, the commander of the Division Hisao Tani nodded: "Without the support of the Imperial Air Force and naval guns, the China Army's howitzers would be our nightmare."

Captain Dongxiang said: "Your Excellency, division commander, please rest assured that the heavy artillery of the China Army's heavy artillery regiment was lost during the retreat. This kind of artillery will never appear again in Nanjing! It's really funny to say that the China Army's engineering unit is actually in a building."

Landmines were placed on the bridge in advance, and the heavy artillery regiment had no choice but to destroy the cannon. I heard that there was an even more funny thing. The soldiers of the 10th Artillery Regiment directly pushed the heavy artillery into the river. For this reason, the Chongteng detachment that rushed over later picked up the cannon in vain.

Several German howitzers!”

With a look of contempt on his face, the commander of the Hisao Tani division said: "The Chinese people are so stupid! This is probably why we came to fight in China! They need the enlightenment of our Yamato nation! Hahaha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a 150mm high-explosive bomb landed on the heavy artillery brigade's position.

Boom!

A Type 89 cannon was immediately overturned to the ground.

Two Japanese artillerymen who were carrying artillery shells nearby were crushed to death by the falling cannon body.

call out!

Boom!

This is a fire bomb, that is, an incendiary bomb.

The fire bomb hit a pile of artillery shells placed in the open space.

Due to the violent impact and burning, more than a dozen shells that had not been equipped with trigger fuses exploded instantly.

The strong shock wave instantly blew three Type 89 cannons to pieces. The cannon bodies and barrels were moved, and a dozen Japanese artillerymen who were waiting for the heavy artillery were also buried with them.

Dodging the oncoming heat wave and debris, the commander of Hisao Tani Division was stunned: "Nani? The Chinese Army also has howitzers!"

Based on the combat experience in Shanghai, this is clearly the 32-caliber sfh18 howitzer that the imperial army is very afraid of.

It's not that enemies don't get together, the commander of Hisao Tani's division never dreamed that the Chinese army, which had been crippled, actually had a howitzer hidden in it.

This surprised him so much!

He also suddenly threw himself down behind a sandbag fortification. Captain Dongxiang shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Excellency, division commander, based on the density of artillery shells, I surmise that the China Army only has one howitzer! I suggest that the artillery observation balloon be launched immediately.

Find the heavy artillery positions of the Chinese Army!"

Wiping a handful of dust from his helmet, the commander of the Hisao Tani Division said seriously: "Nani? There is only one howitzer. Find me the specific location immediately!"

The chief of staff, who was also lying behind a sandbag fortification, also suggested: "Do we need to contact the Imperial Air Force and request aerial bomb support?"

The Japanese army's land, sea and air system is much more complete than that of the Chinese army. In Shanghai, the Japanese ground forces can not only call for air force support, but also call for naval gun support. Don't be too crazy.

In Nanjing, because the location of Nanjing is different from that of Shanghai, the Japanese naval guns cannot work hard. Now the ground troops can only call the air force.

The Japanese air force base is located in the Jianqiao area of ​​Guangde, Hangzhou, and it only takes ten minutes to fly over Nanjing to lay eggs.

What about Liang Shanhao's air force? They have already been exhausted in Shanghai.

Therefore, the Japanese ground troops can call on the air force at will to defeat the Nanjing garrison.

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Tani Hisao division said: "Yoshi! Call Major Kojima of the 24th Air Force Squadron and tell me to kill that hateful German howitzer on the opposite side!"

Yuhuatai position.

The soldiers of the entire 88th Division fell into a state of elated joy.

It is rude to come and not reciprocate!

Haha! The Japs in the Sixth Division finally got a taste of being beaten by artillery fire.

Seeing a bright fire through the telescope, Liang Shanhao knew that the Japs' heavy artillery brigade was in danger.

Also looking at the Sixth Division's position, Wang Daniu said: "The little Jaap's position was hit by artillery fire. I didn't expect that the little Jaap would be like this!!"

Putting on a look of disapproval, Liang Shanhao said with a smile: "What is this called? Treating others with their own treatment! But it's not just the little devils who have cannons! We are even afraid of ourselves when our cannons fire!"

With a puzzled look on his face, the battalion commander on the side started talking: "Regiment, where did we get the artillery? As far as I know, the heavy artillery of our 10th Artillery Regiment is gone. They were all destroyed by me on Shanghai Beach!"

With a proud look on his face, Liang Shanhao deliberately let it slip: "Old Xiong, you don't need to know so much, just enjoy the scenery on the other side."

As soon as he finished speaking, three observation hot-air balloons suddenly rose from the Japs' position, and the Japs on the observation balloons were shouting semaphores.

His face suddenly changed, and a battalion commander shouted at the top of his voice: "Tuanzuo, the Japs' observation balloon!"

The first battalion commander had fought many vicious battles in Shanghai, and he was very familiar with the Japanese observation balloons.

I remember one time when the Sichuan Army troops where Elder Xiong of the First Battalion was eating and resting, suddenly an observation balloon rose from the opposite position.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army had never seen anything like this before, so they all picked up their bowls to look at the observation balloon.

As he watched, the enemy's artillery fire exploded.

Many Sichuan troops did not have time to escape, and were immediately blown away by artillery fire, destroying half of their regiments.

The old bear, who was lucky enough to escape, has been as afraid of this kind of observation balloon since then.

Seeing an observation balloon, what does it mean?

The old bear's lessons of blood and tears told him that this meant that the important targets of the troops were exposed, and that a vigorous artillery attack was about to take place again.

His face suddenly sank as well, Liang Shanhao knew that something was going to happen to the howitzer at Zhonghua Gate.

Quickly returning to the command post, Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Send me a report immediately! Telegraph the division headquarters to stop shooting immediately and hide the howitzers!"

There is only one precious howitzer in the entire brigade, so be sure not to be targeted by the Japs' planes.

As if they knew what Liang Shanhao was thinking, ten Type 96 bombers roared past the position where Liang Shanhao was preparing the first regiment.

Communication is so important to modern warfare!

The telegraph machine could not send and receive military messages as fast as the Japanese planes.
Chapter completed!
