The range of Italian artillery is only 8,000 meters.
For safety reasons, it is best to shorten the distance to less than 7,500 meters.
In addition to the necessary warning distance, the distance from the Japanese heavy artillery should preferably be within 7,000 meters.
The terrain must be open.
You can hit and run.
Otherwise, other artillery units of the Japanese invaders will retaliate.
Can it be done?
hanging.
Need to proofread the map again and again.
It is necessary to repeatedly check the radar map and the aerial map.
The two maps are not seamlessly connected.
Requires human brain calculations.
Finally, a suitable attack route was found. It required advancing about three thousand meters.
There is difficulty.
Although it is three thousand meters.
Don’t underestimate three thousand meters.
That's on the battlefield. Every inch of ground must be fought for.
A distance of three thousand meters was enough for the Japanese invaders to deploy an infantry brigade.
You have to go into battle in person.
It wouldn't work for anyone else.
Mortars and heartless cannons must clear the way.
Exploded all the way.
Attack all the way.
Until it is three thousand meters deep.
The biggest difficulty lies in the reaction of the Japanese invaders.
I hope the Japanese invaders didn't realize that they were going for their howitzers.
otherwise……
"boom……"
"boom……"
The Japanese invaders suddenly started shelling again.
Hey, these psychopaths are intermittent and annoying.
but……
I endure it!
I'll take care of you right away.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Inform Mr. Cheng to come!"
"yes!"
The staff officer quickly called Cheng Zhigao.
Zhang Yong told the other party his thoughts. Cheng Zhigao was excited but also a little confused.
How did Zhang Yong know the location of the Japanese heavy artillery?
When did he go out to scout?
Haven't you been sleeping these days?
Could it be a dream?
"Commissioner, is the location confirmed?"
"Sure. It's right here."
Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.
The military map on the wall has a striking red circle.
This location is the Japanese invaders' 150mm howitzer position. In the short term, it is impossible for the Japanese invaders to change positions.
Then, two more eye-catching red circles were drawn.
"Commissioner..."
"This is a 105mm heavy cannon position. This is a 75mm mountain artillery position."
"Commissioner, have you detected everything?"
"right."
Zhang Yong admitted frankly.
Yes, that's what I "detected".
As for how it was "detected", there is no need to explain.
"There are also tanks here."
Zhang Yong then drew another red circle.
The tanks are all Type 95 light tanks. They weigh seven tons.
This kind of tank poses little threat to the Jiangyin Fortress. It can only threaten the infantry.
The Japanese invaders deployed it in a relatively rear position in order to counterattack the infantry charge and catch the Chinese army by surprise.
Didn't pay much attention to it.
They are all little ones.
The 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun can penetrate side armor.
If it is a 20mm machine gun, it will penetrate the front.
"well!"
Cheng Zhigao is gearing up and eager to try.
Now that we know the location of the Japanese invaders' heavy weapons, we can take targeted actions.
Although there are currently not many troops left in the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army, it is still very possible to make a sudden move and advance three thousand meters.
The key is...
Zhang Yong leads the team!
Commissioner, you are a brave group!
As long as the Commissioner leads the team, they will be victorious.
The morale of all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle was extremely high, and they were all screaming.
Not to mention well-equipped. Even a fire stick seems to be able to beat the Japanese invaders until they can no longer take care of themselves...
"Report!"
A staff officer hurried over.
Zhang Yong looked up casually.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty Reporting Commissioner, Commander Qian is here."
"Which Commander Qian?"
"That's Commander Qian Wanjun."
"ah?"
Zhang Yong was stunned.
Qian Wanjun? Commander Qian?
Why is he here?
What is he here to do?
"Commander Qian?"
Cheng Zhigao was also surprised.
Of course he knew who Commander Qian was.
One of the powerful bosses and a consistent confidant of the committee.
He once served as the director of the attendant's office for a long time. He is still an important boss in the military.
He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yong.
Somewhat worried.
Are you here to arrest Zhang Yong?
By the way, if Commander Qian comes to arrest the Commissioner...
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhigao immediately turned against him.
As long as the Commissioner gave the order, he would kill everyone and throw them directly into the river...
"With whom?"
"Many. There are also two foreigners."
"Foreigner?"
"Yes. There will also be military police escort."
"military police?"
Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows.
Are you here to catch yourself? Are you falling out?
OK!
Fall out if you fall out!
Stay calm. Check the radar map first.
I didn't pay much attention to it before. I just didn't look at it. When I saw it, I felt that the person coming was not good!
Gu Bafeng is here...
Kong Fansong is here...
Rokossovsky…
Rommel...
etc!
etc!
It's not surprising that others come.
Why is Kong Fansong here too?
Are you here to take over your own money? Let yourself spit out all your money?
Oops, I can't bear this anymore.
You can take my life, but you can't take my money.
wrong……
Not even for your life.
My life, Zhang Yong, is very valuable.
No matter who comes, as long as they want my life, Zhang Yong, they will be killed.
"Invite them in."
"yes."
Zhang Yong did not go out to greet him.
Caution makes the ship last forever. Safety comes first at all times.
In the open space outside, more people have the advantage. He can't defeat so many people.
However, if it is inside the headquarters, in a narrow space, Zhang Yong is the boss. There are many weapons in his carry-on space.
No matter who wants to attack Zhang Yong, he will be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Even Commander Qian.
Surveillance radar map.
No abnormalities were found.
The military police stopped at the dock and did not follow him in.
Gu Bafeng himself also stayed near the dock.
possible……
perhaps……
Are you overthinking it?
Commander Qian didn't come to arrest him?
but……
Better be careful.
The situation outside is chaotic right now.
Walk to the entrance of the command post and wait for Commander Qian to appear in front of you.
"Commander Qian."
stand at attention.
salute.
Well behaved.
This is called courtesy first, then attack. Look at the situation first.
"Shao Long."
Commander Qian came over quickly.
There was nothing unusual. He just looked solemn.
"Shaolong."
Kong Fansong also followed.
Zhang Yong nodded, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with the other party.
The other party is the real God of Wealth! He is also an NPC who often issues tasks.
Every time I do something for Director Kong, I get US dollars in the end.
I really miss the days when I used to make money...
"Brother Kong Fang, what are you here for?" Zhang Yong asked quietly.
"The envoy asked us to invite you to Jinling." Kong Fansong said slowly, "Purple Mountain was lost and the situation is very bad."
"What's the point of me going?"
"I don't know. But it must be useful."
"Where is Chief Tang?"
"he……"
Kong Fansong was about to speak but stopped.
Commander Qian suddenly turned back.
"He panicked."
"What?"
"That Chief Tang is already panicking. He has no master. He doesn't know how to deal with it."
"this……"
Zhang Yong did not comment.
Panic?
Maybe.
Purple Mountain was lost.
For the defenders, it was a fatal blow.
There is basically no possibility of recovery.
"Shaolong, the committee hopes that you can save the dangerous situation in Jinling..."
"I?"
"That's right. It's you."
"But, I don't know how to direct a battle!"
"As long as we can recapture Dachang Town."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong shut up.
It turns out that he was taken into consideration.
Chiang Kai-shek was also ill and sought medical treatment. Suddenly he felt that he was okay again.
No, when the Songhu battlefield was most dangerous, it was Zhang Yong who came to the rescue. It seems that he was able to save everyone in the end.
I feel like I am the fire captain.
"Shaolong, you can give the order directly now, and I will help you implement it."
"I? ordered?"
"Yes. Now everyone is willing to listen to you."
"Why?"
"Maybe I think there is still a glimmer of hope if you take command. If it were anyone else, it would be a dead end."
"I……"
Zhang Yong wanted to say that if I were to take command, it would lead to a dead end.
It is inevitable that Jinling will be captured. Even if the gods come, it will be useless. The Japanese invaders are so powerful that they cannot resist them.
However, it is not impossible to delay it for several days.
The key is not to be messy.
And the key to not causing chaos lies in Pukou.
Where is Pukou? In Jiangbei. Upstream of Jinling.
Once the Japanese invaders occupy Pukou, they will move south along the river bank and then surround Jinling.
At that time, even if the Jinling garrison wanted to cross the river and retreat, it would be impossible.
In other words, Jinling was completely sealed and no one could escape.
This was the reason for the great chaos in the subsequent retreat.
They all want to escape.
They were all afraid of being surrounded by Japanese invaders.
Scrambling for success.
trample on each other.
He even shot friendly troops.
Complete collapse. No one can control the situation anymore.
Grit your teeth...
That being the case.
Then give it a try?
“What does Jinling’s current defense deployment look like?”
"Someone is coming!"
Commander Qian quickly called the combat staff.
The combat staff carries Jinling's deployment map with them. It is the latest form.
On the map, it can be clearly seen that the Purple Mountain position has been lost.
It is marked above that it was occupied by the Japanese Sixth Division.
It's the Sixth Division again.
That Hisao Tani was quite fierce in fighting.
Made.
I didn't blow it up last time.
After counting, I found that there were a total of twelve Japanese divisions.
Twelve!
Twelve in total!
I don't know if it's full or not.
However, even if there are not enough people, it is already very scary.
Looking at the defensive side, there are also many unit numbers. There are more than 30 division-level units and ten corps-level units.
It is obvious that the national army must be seriously short of personnel. It would be good to use half the strength.
Headache.
Only a few of these division-level units were known to each other before.
Military-level units rarely interact with each other.
Confuse.
absurd.
Your own people are in Jiangyin Fortress, commanding the Jinling War?
Is it really possible?
It feels like bullshit.
Arabian Nights and One Thousand and One Nights are not so absurd.
but……
There are some things that he can really do.
Pick up the red pencil and draw several circles in succession on the combat map.
"This is the Japanese 150mm howitzer."
"This is the same."
"This is the same."
Zhang Yong frowned as he continued to draw.
Damn it, the Japanese invaders actually mobilized three independent field heavy artillery regiments!
A hundred 150mm howitzers!
No wonder they conquered Purple Mountain so quickly.
Those 150mm howitzers are indeed too lethal.
"You know everything?"
"Know."
Zhang Yong did not explain.
That's right. I know it all. I am a god.
Therefore, whoever believes in me will have eternal life.
"The focus of the Japanese invaders' attack is in the west." Commander Qian quickly made a judgment.
He is also a veteran of the battlefield.
There is still a general level of military command.
Now that Zhang Yong had marked out the Japanese howitzer positions, it was much easier to make a judgment.
"Pukou."
"The Japanese invaders want to cross the river?"
"Yes. I want to cut off the defenders' retreat across the river."
"That……"
Commander Qian's face looked ugly.
They were completely unprepared for Pukou mentioned by Zhang Yong.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese invaders actually thought of crossing the river. They actually wanted to blockade the defenders and retreat across the river in advance.
Damn it!
This is a huge loophole!
Must make amends immediately!
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Shaolong..."
"Hold on."
Zhang Yong continued to draw circles.
I won't tell you how to fight. I really don't understand.
However, now, I can label all the heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.
Including cannons, tanks, etc. Then you can make your own judgment based on the data.
lock up!
lock up!
lock up!
Draw a bunch of circles.
Then I realized it was over.
So many artillery positions!
In addition to 150mm howitzers, there are also a large number of 105mm heavy cannons.
The standing divisions of the Japanese invaders were all equipped with a heavy artillery regiment with thirty-six 105mm heavy cannons.
"So many..." Commander Qian took a breath.
Let's talk about how the Japanese invaders' attack was so violent. It turned out that there were too many artillery.
More than a hundred 150mm howitzers.
There are more than two hundred 105mm howitzers.
How could the national army withstand such fierce firepower?
Others also looked at each other.
For the first time, I learned that the Japanese invaders actually had so many heavy weapons.
It’s a world of difference!
The national army's 105mm and 150mm howitzers suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to play a major role in the battle.
Only some of the 75mm mountain guns can barely hold up.
However, compared with the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders, they were nothing more than fireflies.
"Shaolong, such detailed information..."
"No one asked me before."
"this……"
Commander Qian was silent.
Of course he knew that Zhang Yong was emotional.
The committee members also knew that Zhang Yong was in mood, so they asked him to come in person.
If Zhang Yong had just been ordered to go to Jinling in a telegram, this little guy might have violated it and deliberately delayed it.
Facts have proved that he came to the right place.
This information alone is priceless...
wrong.
It cannot be measured by value at all.
If Zhang Yong had been allowed to intervene in the Jinling War earlier, it is estimated that Purple Mountain would not have been lost.
It's a pity...
It's too late to say anything now.
"Shaolong, I will report all the information to the headquarters immediately. You can mobilize the troops now."
"I?"
"Yes. It must be issued in your name to boost morale."
"Well……"
"Frankly speaking, everyone is in a very low mood. They are also very desperate. Everyone does not say it, but they feel in their hearts that you are the only hope..."
"Well……"
"The troops who fought side by side with you on the Songhu battlefield are willing to listen to you. For those who are not familiar with you, I am responsible for communicating."
"OK."
Zhang Yong did not refuse.
It's too late.
In fact, you don’t need to do much.
For the time being, we only need to plug the loophole at Pukou to prevent the Japanese invaders from crossing the river and heading north.
The rest are not fatal.
Although the Japanese invaders were powerful, they could only push back.
When it comes to the flat push stage, there is no possibility that the entire battle situation will collapse at the drop of a hat.
Facts have proved that without command confusion, Jinling would not have fallen in such a short period of time.
Thinking about the map. Already have some ideas.
"Order the 74th Army to move five kilometers westward and deploy a defensive line to prevent the Japanese invaders from crossing the river."
"What else?"
"No more. The gap left after the mobilization of the 74th Army can be dealt with according to general principles."
"Okay. Then I will issue the order like this."
"Can."
Zhang Yong nodded.
It was my first time to conduct remote control, so I wasn’t nervous at all.
After all, you have a God's perspective.
All the big moves of the Japanese invaders were observed.
There should be no problem in using the 74th Army to fill the biggest loopholes, right?
Although the 74th Army at this moment is not the most powerful, Wang Yaowu's 51st Division is included in it.
Commander Qian arranged to draft the order and then issue it.
"Shao Long, let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"Of course I'm going back to Jinling."
"No. Wait."
"you……"
"I also want to destroy a heavy artillery regiment here."
"ah?"
"Three hours!"
Zhang Yong said slowly.
Then……
Order the attack!
I have to leave after all.
Before leaving, I must give the Japanese invaders a generous gift!
