Oluhara Junsi said: "Your Highness, nothing is impossible."
Dong Jiure Nianyan said: "Where did the regiment get the long-range fortress artillery?"
"This is not a long-range fortress artillery." Oluhara Junsi shook his head and said, "This is the Type 96 150-caliber heavy field howitzer of the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. This type of artillery has high accuracy and a maximum range of nearly 12 kilometers. Here
It is less than eight kilometers to Meizhen and is completely within the strike range of the Type 96 heavy artillery."
"The Type 96 heavy howitzer of the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade?" Dongjiu Nianyan was dumbfounded.
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused and said, "The 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade was completely destroyed in the suburbs of Feicheng, and all the artillery and trucks fell into the hands of the regiment. Later, Xu Rui used these heavy artillery to fight against the National Army.
In exchange for all the equipment of the Jinling Arsenal, the National Army used these artillery pieces to form a heavy artillery brigade, which was assigned to the 74th Army and participated in the first Battle of De'an. The reason why the Songpu Division was collectively in Wanjialing
Damn it, this heavy artillery brigade is the decisive factor."
"I know this." Dong Jiu'er Nianyan said, "Now this heavy artillery brigade has returned to the hands of the imperial army."
"That's not all." Oluhara Junsi said, "The 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade has ten heavy artillery brigades, but the imperial army only captured nine heavy artillery brigades on the De'an battlefield. In other words, Xu Rui's
The guy was dishonest, he did not hand over all ten heavy artillery brigades to the National Army, but withheld one heavy artillery brigade."
"A heavy artillery battalion has 12 large-caliber heavy artillery, which is enough to cause a devastating blow to the division headquarters of the Xiaozhu Division and the artillery position of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment." Dongjiu Nianyan took a deep breath and spoke again.
Turning around and looking back, I saw that the division headquarters of the Xiaozhu Division and the artillery position of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment had been blown into a sea of flames.
Especially at the artillery position of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, the shelling caused the ammunition to explode, and the explosion became more violent.
Just looking at the sky-high flames and the intensity of the explosion, Higashikata Nianyan could imagine that the Xiaozhu Division must have suffered heavy losses this time. Because of Oluhara Junsi's timely warning, the casualties may not be too great, but
The loss of equipment and supplies is probably catastrophic. Not to mention anything else, there will be very little left of the large amount of military supplies stored in the division headquarters and the artillery equipment of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, as well as trucks and horses, because the baggage regiment is
Together with the division headquarters.
Truck horses are equipment that is urgently needed and in serious shortage for every field division of the Japanese army. It is completely conceivable that after the trucks and horses are destroyed, the mobility capability of the 10th Division will be seriously reduced, and the decline in mobility will be from
In a sense, it means a decrease in combat effectiveness.
However, there is still a problem that Dongjiu Nianyan still can't figure out.
Higashikata asked: "Oluhara-san, although I am not an artillery expert, I also know that large-caliber long-range cannons need to be guided by observation troops. In order to achieve accurate artillery fire, a test firing must be carried out first, and calculations must be carried out.
The position difference between the impact point and the target area will be corrected later, and then the shooting elements will be calibrated, and then a large-scale artillery bombardment will be carried out."
Oluhara Junsi said: "Hai, the standard artillery operating procedure is indeed like this."
"Then I don't understand." Dongjiu Nianyan said, "The regiment's shelling just now did not conduct a test fire, and it was impossible to have the guidance of the observation troops. As soon as the opponent came up, it was a large-scale cluster shooting, and the artillery shells were
As if it had eyes, it landed precisely on the division headquarters and artillery position of the Piggy Division. What's going on? Could it be that the artillerymen of the regiment are all clairvoyants in myths and legends?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "Your Highness, artillery does not only have standard operating procedures."
Dongjiu Nianyan suddenly took a breath of cold air and said: "Non-standard operating procedures?"
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused and said, "The other party can completely divide the ten-kilometer radius of Qingniuping into countless small areas. Each area is marked with a serial number, and then the corresponding shooting elements are determined in advance, etc.
After the imperial army arrives, it will launch aerial reconnaissance to determine the area where the division headquarters and artillery positions are located, and then carry out precise cluster bombardment of the division headquarters and artillery positions based on the predetermined shooting elements."
Dongjiu Nianyan finally reacted and said: "The fighter just now is from the regiment?"
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused and said, "His Royal Highness may not know, but the humble position knows that during the battle when Feicheng was lost, a fighter jet was intercepted by the regiment, and Xu Rui even piloted it himself.
This fighter jet shot down two fighter jets and an attack aircraft from the Central China Air Force Aviation Regiment."
"Nani?" Dong Jiuer asked in surprise, "Xu Rui can also fly a fighter jet?"
"Hai." Junsi Okahara paused and said, "Xu Rui is a training instructor at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp. It is not surprising that he can fly a fighter jet. In fact, at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp, aircraft
Driving is a compulsory course, and almost all special forces are able to fly most fighter jets."
"That makes sense." Dong Jiu nodded and said bitterly, "Xu Rui is really cunning. There are endless conspiracies and tricks. If you are not careful, you will fall into trouble."
If you fall into his scheme, you will suffer big losses if you are not careful! If you hadn't arrived at Qiaotou Town just in time, Xiaoluyuan-san, I would have been crushed on the spot."
Dongjiure Nianyan now recalls the cavalry confrontation three days ago, and he still feels frightened.
Before that battle, Dongjiu Nianyan had never thought that a person could be so insidious and cunning. He agreed to use cavalry to hedge, but in the end it was actually a cover-up, and he actually used heavy machine guns to surprise them. He was caught off guard.
In the end, the entire 10th Cavalry Regiment was completely destroyed.
"This is also expected." Ogawara Junsi said, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many powerful generals of the Imperial Army who fell under his hands. Let alone Inaba Shiro, this wimp, Shigefuji Chiaki,
Tachibana Keio and Kawaguchi Heiji were both accomplished generals, but in the end they were all defeated by Xu Rui."
Dong Jiuer Nianyan said: "In this case, we must eradicate Xu Rui as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he waits for this person to grow up completely and has a division or even a group army in his hands, if we want to destroy him,
It’s difficult.”
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused and said, "I completely agree with His Highness's opinion that Xu Rui must be eradicated as early as possible because intelligence shows that Xu Rui's regiment has expanded from the original three battalions to eighteen battalions. This
It is already a division, and if it cannot be wiped out early, the regiment may expand to 180 battalions in a short time!"
"Yo Xi." Dong Jiure nodded and said, "Then, we need to make a careful calculation of what we should do to eradicate Xu Rui and eliminate the Dameishan Group."
Dividing line
Higashikawa Ninyan and Ogahara Junsi tried to figure out how to eradicate Xu Rui. One night passed and they didn't come up with any good ideas. However, the losses of the 10th Division in last night's shelling had been calculated.
Just as Higashikata Higashihiko had predicted, the 10th Division was severely damaged this time.
More than half of the heavy-duty trucks of the 10th Baggage Regiment were damaged, and more than 40% of the materials were damaged.
More than one-third of the artillery of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment was damaged, and more than 50% of the artillery shells were lost.
However, compared with the division headquarters, the losses of the baggage regiment and field artillery regiment were nothing.
In yesterday's shelling, the division headquarters of the 10th Division was the key target. It withstood at least more than 60% of the shells. The result was also disastrous. The logistics support department and the medical department that stayed with the division headquarters were destroyed.
A devastating blow, almost half of the supplies and all the horses were lost.
After Xiaozhu Yinan reported the losses of materials, personnel and horses to Dongjiu Nianyan, he said: "Your Highness, this time the losses of personnel, materials and horses of our division were very serious, especially the horses, which were almost completely lost. The group army
If the headquarters cannot replenish it in time, it may seriously affect its maneuverability."
The 10th Division is a horse-drafting division and relies heavily on horses for the mobility of supplies and heavy equipment.
However, during the sudden bombardment last night, the 10th Division was completely unprepared, resulting in the death of many horses that were under intensive care, and more horses fled into the wilderness amidst the raging artillery fire.
The righteous man sent out soldiers to collect horses, but only a few horses were recovered.
Dongjiu Nianyan was an eyewitness to the shelling last night, and he was mentally prepared for the loss of the 10th Division.
At that moment, Dong Jiuyi said: "Don't worry, Xiaozhusang, the base camp has just requisitioned 50,000 military horses in the mainland, 30,000 of which are for our Central China Dispatch Army. I have already sent them to the Dispatch Army Headquarters."
An urgent message was sent, asking them to urgently replenish the 10th Division with 2,000 military horses and combat readiness materials needed for three months of operations."
After a slight pause, Dongjiu Nianyan added: "But Xiaozhu-san, you must learn the lesson from last night and never make the same mistake again. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you."
"Hai." Xiaozhu Yinan paused and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will never make the same mistake again. I have ordered the division headquarters to withdraw five kilometers, and also ordered the 10th Field Artillery Regiment to withdraw a corresponding distance.
, In addition, all equipment and materials must not be stored in a centralized manner to strictly prevent the China Army from shelling again."
"Yo Xi." Dong Jiu'er Nianyan nodded happily, and just when he was about to continue to encourage him, he suddenly heard the roar of an aircraft engine. When he looked up, he saw a Type 96 warship.
The fighter jets had already emerged from the clouds in the northwest, and then swooped down towards the messy camp of the 10th Division.
"Baga." Dongjiu Nianyan immediately cursed, "Here we go again." To be continued.
