175, the first army stationed in Shanxi is out of the basket again
upgrade!
Upgrade now!
Upgrade all tanks to German Panzer IV tanks!
It doesn’t matter how much it costs!
You have to upgrade even if you are trying to sell iron!
If there are a hundred Panzer IV tanks, he can sweep through Taiyuan!
However……
"Sorry, the upgrade conditions have not been met yet..."
"You need to occupy a large city to obtain enough industrial base and enough raw materials to continue upgrading..."
"Large cities refer to Taiyuan, Peiping, Shenyang, Shanghai, Nanjing, etc..."
The system sent another prompt.
Zhang Chu:......
Speechless.
disappointment.
Capture a large city...
Just kidding!
How can it be.
With the current strength of the New Regiment, can we occupy Taiyuan?
Occupy Peiping?
You are joking!
"In addition, you must also control an oil field to obtain sufficient oil supplies..."
"Warm reminder: The nearest oil field is near Dongying..."
"Warm reminder: You can also occupy Daqing Oilfield..."
The system sent another prompt.
Zhang Chu:......
Depressed.
And oil fields!
Where is Dongying?
We are thousands of miles away from you! We can’t fly there!
As for Daqing Oilfield...
That is the sphere of influence of the Kwantung Army!
700,000 Kwantung Army!
All are elites!
"If you want to upgrade large-caliber heavy artillery (above 100 mm), you also need to occupy a large city..."
The system prompts again.
Zhang Chu:......
knew.
Needless to say. You can’t do it anyway.
It's too realistic.
It's impossible to upgrade without an industrial base. It's really terrible.
It seems that the 75mm field gun is the ultimate configuration. Alas, how can we occupy large cities without large-caliber heavy artillery...
System: You must capture large cities before you can upgrade heavy artillery!
Zhang Chu: Without heavy artillery, how can we capture large cities?
System: You have to capture large cities first!
Zhang Chu: I must have heavy artillery first!
System: You have to capture large cities first...
Zhang Chu:......
Damn it, it’s an endless cycle.
"If you want to upgrade the plane, you have to occupy a large city..."
The system prompts again.
Zhang Chu:......
Okay, I got it. I’ve given up.
No need to think about airplanes, tanks, heavy artillery, etc.
The 75mm field gun is your ultimate weapon...
"Ding!"
"You can upgrade the 20mm cannon..."
Another reminder.
Zhang Chu finally cheered up.
Huh?
This can be done!
The 20mm machine gun can also shoot horizontally! Moreover, the horizontal shooting power is quite powerful.
There is absolutely no problem with tanks used to fight Japanese invaders.
I wonder what the bunker used to deal with the Japanese invaders is like? I hope it is a weapon for demolition...
Start upgrading immediately.
"There are multiple options for upgrading..."
"First, Sulotong 20mm machine gun..."
"Second, Bofors 20mm machine gun..."
"Third, Madsen 20mm machine gun..."
"Fourth, Oerlikon 20mm machine gun..."
"Fifth, German-made flak30 20mm machine gun..."
"Sixth, Italian Breda M35 20mm cannon..."
Zhang Chu thought for a while, and finally chose the Suluotong 20mm machine gun. For things like attacking bunkers, Suluotong was more suitable.
Its depression angle is relatively large. It can target the Japanese invaders' bunkers more effectively.
"update successed!"
"The upgrade process consumes 500,000 yuan."
A bit expensive.
It's equivalent to an infantry cannon.
However, what the Sulotong machine gun can do is what the infantry cannon cannot do.
For example, if the Japanese invaders' plane arrives, it can still return to its original business. It is originally an anti-aircraft machine gun. Its original purpose is to masturbate airplanes.
Upgrade twenty doors in one go.
A total of 10 million was spent.
However, it must be transported by mules and horses. It cannot be airdropped.
"The mule and horse teams are busy..."
"You may need to wait 3-5 hours..."
An information prompt arrives.
Zhang Chu turned a blind eye.
He had known this result for a long time. Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
While waiting, he also had work to do.
The purpose was to eliminate all the Japanese artillery so that the Sulotong machine guns would not be able to deploy effectively.
Arrive at the artillery position.
Gather five mortars and control them yourself.
Careful recovery radar carefully identifies various valuable targets in the city.
The first thing I discovered was a small dark red dot.
No need to ask, this must be Doi Mototake, the Japanese aggressor's garrison captain.
This guy is always moving. He almost never stops. Moreover, the trajectory of his movement is also quite weird.
It is inferred that it may be moving in underground tunnels. Therefore, it is not afraid of artillery fire.
However, the Japanese artillery could not do this.
Cannons cannot be placed underground.
Find a few small red dots.
It is inferred that it may be a 90mm mortar of the Japanese invaders.
good!
that's it!
Lock on those red dots.
Concentrate five mortars to bomb together.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The shells came out in unison.
Eight rounds of rapid fire. 40 rounds of artillery shells are fired in one go.
Then pause temporarily.
Continue research on recyclable radar.
I found that of those small red dots, three started to move, but three were still.
It must have been a hit.
Maybe three were blown up. Unable to move.
But there are still three that have not been blown up and can still run away.
Not in a hurry.
Wait until the Japanese invaders stop.
The recovered object radar shows a radius of 10 kilometers, which is enough to completely cover the county.
Adjusted mortars.
Shoot at the little red dot.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The shells were discharged intensively.
Another eight rapid shots.
However, the crimson dot didn't seem to be affected in any way. It was still moving on its own.
Unfortunately, it didn't explode.
If he had been killed by the explosion, he would have been lying on the ground motionless.
It seems that this Japanese colonel is very lucky.
Continue to adjust the mortar.
Change to other goals.
I caught three more small red dots.
It is judged to be the 92nd Infantry Artillery of the Japanese invaders.
If you don’t say anything, just keep blasting.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Another eight rapid shots.
Continuous projectiles are fired from the chamber.
Finally, those little red dots stopped moving.
Keep banging.
Still no movement.
good!
It must have blown up.
Sure enough, the Japanese invaders' artillery counterattack was greatly weakened.
For several minutes, not a single shell was fired.
30 minutes……
60 minutes……
The Japanese artillery made no move.
"idiot!"
Gentake Doi, who received the report, was anxious and angry.
What?
All of his artillery was blown up?
idiot!
Damn Tubal Road!
I hurriedly sent someone to check! The situation was a mess!
All six 90mm mortars were destroyed.
Only one of the six 70mm infantry guns remains.
Finished...
How could he hold on for ten days without artillery support?
Simply rely on the bunker...
Now, the only thing he can rely on is the bunker...
Fortunately, hundreds of bunkers were built...
"Report!"
"What's up?"
"Consultant Zhang, someone is looking for you."
"knew!"
Zhang Chu felt happy.
After waiting for a long time, the transportation team finally arrived!
Rushed over in a hurry.
Sure enough, it was discovered that a mule and horse transport team had arrived, delivering 20 Sulothong machine guns.
take over.
The tool man leaves.
The machine guns were left behind, along with twenty mules.
"Zhang Chu, what is this?" Ding Wei asked curiously.
"Anti-aircraft guns." Zhang Chu replied, "A bunker prepared to fight the Japanese invaders."
"Can it be done?"
"Try it!"
Zhang Chu didn’t dare to guarantee it.
Hope it works.
But you won’t know until you try it whether it works or not.
Immediately summon people to come over, push a Sulothong machine gun forward, get close and fire.
The distance is about 800 meters.
Zhang Chu did it himself.
aim.
shooting.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom!"
The shells hit the bunker like raindrops.
At least half of the cannonballs hit the bunker accurately. But unfortunately, they were not destroyed.
The Japanese invaders' bunker is still very strong. The damage of the 20mm shells is a little bit small. The penetration is very strong. The blast damage is a little bit worse. But it doesn't matter, continue.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Continuous shooting.
I changed the magazine twice in the middle.
Finally, after taking turns to shoot, the bunker was destroyed.
However, a lot of shells were consumed. Three rows of magazines were used, a total of 45 shells.
Frankly speaking, it's a bit of a waste.
Because even though it’s a 20mm shell, it still costs 50 yuan!
Field artillery shells with a caliber of 75 mm are priced at 50 yuan!
A mortar shell with a caliber of 81 mm is priced at 50 yuan!
I feel very disadvantaged...
but……
You must grit your teeth and persist!
As long as we capture the county seat, everything will be fine.
"Everyone spread out!"
"Everyone spread out!"
Ding Wei immediately arranged a combat team.
Each combat group operates a Surothon 20mm cannon.
The target is the Japanese bunker.
Under the cover of field artillery and mortars, the Japanese invaders' bunkers were smashed one by one.
This is not very efficient.
Sometimes, it takes an hour to destroy a bunker.
Because the movement of machine guns and the construction of positions also took time. In the meantime, the Japanese invaders were trying to obstruct them in every possible way.
However, Gentake Doi could no longer bear this kind of attack speed.
In just a few hours, more than a dozen bunkers were lost. How could Gentake Doi endure it?
"idiot!"
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
I had no choice but to ask for help from my superiors.
The information finally came to Saburo Saito.
There is no way, why is the Fanxian garrison independent? It is directly under the command of the First Army Headquarters.
"Field artillery..."
"Rapid-fire cannon..."
Saburo Saito felt that the situation was not good, so he had to come to Yoshio Shinozuka.
Yoshio Shinozuka was silent for a long time.
"Deploy the aviation force!"
"Tie!"
Saburo Saito agreed.
Dispatching aviation means that it cannot be kept secret.
Because the aviation force has its own special management structure, it will definitely report to Peking and Nanjing.
According to convention, every time the aviation force is dispatched, it must report to the domestic aviation director after returning. In other words, if the aviation director is interested, he will also know about this place called Fanxian.
Since the Director of Aviation knows about it, then Peiping and Nanjing must also know about it.
Yes, everyone knows it.
Everyone knew that the First Army stationed in Shanxi was in trouble again.
Not only was Ping'an County captured, but Fan County is now also unprotected.
Fan County, Fan County!
I'm afraid it will become another nightmare for the Imperial Army!
