The naval gun fire was sparse and weak. The main point was to dispatch at least 50 bomber sorties required by the military headquarters. The navy actually pushed back and dispatched only 20 bombers. Four hours later, the Chinese's forward positions were destroyed.
, but the heavy artillery, which was a real threat to the landing troops, also exploded the beach into a sea of fire.
It can be said that what makes Matsui Iwane, an old devil, want to take a bite of meat and swallow it in his stomach is not the Chinese army who fought extremely tenaciously on the opposite side, but the group of people squatting on the sea who are happy to watch the Imperial Army collapse.
Navy grandchildren.
This is a completely shameless mentality that does not want the Imperial Army to suffer. Matsui Iwane slapped the table and roared.
As for the mentality of the Japanese naval generals, which makes them dare to do nothing at this moment of decisive battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies, I am afraid it is also because the army's gangsters have already fought in the land war.
He gained the upper hand and was about to make dumplings for hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, thus achieving great feats.
In the early days of the Songhu War, because the Marine Corps was overwhelmed by the superior strength of the Chinese army, it finally relied on the landing Imperial Army to rescue the siege. The navy was often laughed at by the army soldiers, but at that time, China and Japan were fighting extremely hard.
Anxious, the headquarters headquarters kept a close eye on him, and the navy, who felt aggrieved, naturally did not dare to be too negligent at that time. The army only asked for help, and basically offered help.
But when the urban area of Shanghai was occupied and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops were driven to the outskirts of Shanghai, the Army Red Deer mobilized 100,000 troops from the northern battlefield of China to prepare to steal the Chinese retreat route. Seeing that the decisive battle and victory was imminent.
In this first decisive battle between China and Japan, because the weak Chinese navy scuttled its main ships in the Yangtze River and Huangpu River, the navy had no outstanding achievements except dispatching ships and aircraft to support the army's operations.
The ship was severely damaged by a horrific suicide ramming attack by a Chinese air force pilot.
If nothing else, when the Imperial Council was discussing their merits after the war, the naval generals could almost think of the ugly faces of the army officers.
"I captured Shanghai, I wiped out 100,000 enemy troops, I captured Hangzhou..."
"What happened to the navy? Isn't it just fishing on the sea with a ship built by the empire with a lot of money? It was almost sunk by the Chinese with a plane. It would be great if the empire didn't ask you bunch of losers to pay for it. You still want military exploits, so shameless
Woolen cloth?"
After all, the reason why the navy did this was because the Japanese army fought so well. If they had killed an additional 100,000 people, the navy would not be like this and would definitely accompany the army to fight happily.
In fact, the navy generals really didn't think much about it. In the time and space in the past, at the merit discussion meeting of the Japanese headquarters headquarters in Songhu and Nanjing after the war, the army generals fought against them like this. It has always been the case.
Positioning themselves at the high end, the navy generals who wore shit-yellow military uniforms and were just like countrymen almost ran out of breath and vomited blood, but the tragedy was that they could not win back the victory.
Because China has no navy since then, their huge fleet has no chance to gain military exploits.
In the end, the Japanese high command made up its mind to take a crazy gamble and stab the American cowboy in the anus. I am afraid that it has something to do with the fact that the Navy could not get any benefits in the Sino-Japanese War and the urgent need to establish meritorious service.
Those small fish and shrimps in the South China Sea cannot satisfy their appetite. Only the big bathtub of the Pacific Ocean can provide a bath for the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy.
But the arrogant Japanese navy did not expect that the big bathtub in the Pacific Ocean was a bit too big and too deep, and their legs were too short. The American cowboys stirred up a little trouble and drowned them all, taking them with them by the way.
Their lifelong enemy---the Army Red Deer. More than five elite army divisions were beaten to pieces all over the ground by the crazy artillery fire of American cowboys on a small Pacific island, and some were starved into mummies.
However, in this time and space, as the 114th Division encountered difficulties in the Jinshanwei landing operation, the petty worries of the naval generals who had been unhappy for a long time began to come to life. The Chinese did a good job! They did not let the army
The red deer easily come ashore, yes, let’s do this to them.
It is indeed strange, but this is the mentality of the Japanese naval generals. If they were not afraid that it would reach the headquarters of the headquarters, the generals sitting on the ship several kilometers away from the shore would like to raise a toast together and shout together through the intercom on the ship.
A cry: "Yo Xi!"
You don’t have to work at full strength, dragging your feet or something like that, it’s simply as simple as that. If you want fifty sorties, the Navy Master must send out fifty combat aircraft? Don’t you know that the sea is blowing windy? If the uncle can send out 30 combat sorties, that’s all for the Empire.
The heroic and fearless work of the navy warriors has come to an end, okay?
Of course, even though Matsui Iwane was gritting his teeth with hatred, he really had nothing to do with those navy men who were sitting comfortably on the ship, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun. They could have a thousand reasons to explain why.
There are not enough bomber sorties and the density of naval gun bombardment is not enough.
The Chinese defenders of Jinshanwei became the ultimate beneficiary of the conflict between Japan's navy and army. Although the Japanese troops on the sea continued to flow towards the tidal flats, there were still Japanese planes circling in the sky dropping 250-pound aerial bombs.
, there were still bombardments from large-caliber Japanese warships and naval guns on the sea, but they miraculously held their position and used the third theater to strengthen their heavy artillery regiment with 20 150-meter heavy guns the day before to continue to support the landing Japanese troops.
Kill.
Originally, the National Army's heavy artillery force participating in the Songhu Battlefield had four artillery regiments, which were purchased by the national government through a loan from the little foreign girl Laura's Huamei Company. It was also the National Army that had aircraft and naval guns during the Songhu Battle.
One of the Japanese Army's confidence in the war.
It is also the only heavy equipment of Chinese artillery that outperforms Japanese artillery. The Japanese Army also has heavy artillery. They use the Taisho Four-year-old 150mm field howitzer. The Four-year-old 150 heavy artillery produced by the Osaka Artillery Factory is completely based on the Japanese army's mule-horse field baggage.
The research and development needs of the army emphasize the "light and small" requirements. Each structural component must be light, weighing less than three tons, and can be pulled by mules and horses after disassembly.
Of course, the point of heavy artillery is not the word "heavy", but this thing is a bit similar to the cars of the future. Japanese cars are very economical and fuel-efficient, but they become very unstable at high speeds. If they hit it, they will probably fall apart like paper. Safety
In terms of performance, it is much worse than the heavier European and American cars. The same goes for this heavy gun. The gun does not have strong penetrating power and basically uses anti-personnel explosive shells. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for", because of its small size
At its limit, the four-year-old with a very short barrel only has a range of 8,800 meters, which is not even as good as the range of the 105 howitzer.
As for the national army? The big boss gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money. What he imported through the Huamei Company was the sfh-18 150mm howitzer made by the Third Reich. This gun was burly and weighed 10 tons. It required a special internal combustion vehicle.
Towing. But this kind of artillery has a maximum range of more than 15 kilometers, and it has armor-piercing bombs, anti-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, and smoke screen bombs. It is completely "crushing level" against Japanese artillery.
Each regiment has 20 sfh-18 howitzers and more than 100 trucks. There are also special anti-aircraft artillery regiments in the surrounding area responsible for air defense. It can be said that under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft, artillery and naval guns, hundreds of thousands of national troops can basically fight with the Japanese army.
It was a tie, and this artillery played the most important role. In several tug-of-wars in Hongkou and Luodian, the artillery of the Japanese Navy's Shanghai Special Marine Corps and the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Army's Shanghai Expeditionary Force were successively silenced by the 10th Artillery Regiment. The only
Unfortunately, 80 guns were still too few. The Japanese army was defeated except for the 150 heavy guns, but they had air and sea control. The number of 150 howitzers was also much higher than that of the Chinese. In the end, they relied on aircraft air strikes and wolf pack tactics of roaming gun positions.
and numerical superiority, ultimately seizing the initiative on the battlefield.
After nearly three months of bloody battles, the Chinese artillery also suffered heavy losses. Only two of the four artillery regiments were left. The remaining dozens of 150-meter heavy artillery were indispensable if the Huxi front wanted to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.
, it is absolutely impossible to transfer from the front line to Jinshan Guard, which is not yet a threat. No one, including the bald principal, would issue such a ridiculous order.
But the 62nd Division happened to have such a heavy artillery regiment, although it was not the Third Reich-style heavy howitzer that weighed more than 10 tons. It was the Schneider M1928 155mm howitzer, the kind that the Jinling Arsenal tried to purchase in 1932.
And imitated heavy artillery.
The M1928 155mm howitzer, which weighs only 3.9 tons, only needs a transport truck with a load capacity of 5 tons to pull it through China's crude roads. It does not need to be transported by rail. The 44-kilogram projectile is not powerful at all.
It is inferior to the 10-ton sfh-18 howitzer. The only disadvantage is that the range is slightly shorter, only 12 kilometers, but it is still not a big problem to crush the Japanese Taisho 4 light 150 howitzer.
It's just that because the national government later reconciled with the Third Reich, it shelved this artillery, which was actually most suitable for China's national conditions, and chose to import the Third Reich-style SFH-18 heavy artillery that required train transportation.
But now, 20 M1928s are roaring at the arrogant Japanese landing troops from an artillery position 11 kilometers away from the tidal flat. The 114th Division, which has been used as cannon fodder, is bleeding horribly on the tidal flat.
Where did this cannon come from? I’m afraid we have to start from Nanjing ten days ago.

ps: Ahem, this time it’s not Zhang Tui, but I’m asking for leave from everyone. Tomorrow morning Fengyue will accompany her old father to go back to her hometown. Originally, her father turned seventy the day before yesterday, but the old father insisted not to hold a banquet, but in his hometown
The brothers and sisters quit, and Feng Yue almost got scolded by her uncle and aunts, so Feng Yue begged her father, in order for her son not to be scolded, please treat everyone to a bar! That's what life is like!
There is so much helplessness, even if it is something I don’t want to do.
So, tomorrow morning, Feng Yue will drive the old man back to his hometown to treat guests. Ahem, I don’t have time to write and update. Please forgive me. Feng Yue writes and publishes every day now, and never saves the manuscript. Feng Yue is an honest child.
