The guys from the training team of the Wehrmacht are full of bad habits. But one thing they are very particular about is the use of ammunition. They will never throw away artillery shells lavishly like in the European battlefield. The offensive tactics of the Wehrmacht focus on the concentration of artillery fire.

Use, ground and air integration, infantry and artillery integration. All in all

Coming from a poor life, I always feel shabby when I see the war reports in Europe. But there is nothing I can do, the country is still a bit poor, and the military salary expenditure for so many people in the National Defense Force is a huge sum. 30% of the fiscal revenue of the Republic of China is invested.

When entering the army, 30% was invested in education, and this is how the army has the combat effectiveness it has today.

Anyone who takes Jingui's artillery shells seriously is a prodigal in the National Defense Force, and everyone calls for beating him.

After half an hour of artillery preparations, the artillery fire began to extend. Oba Jiro had already retreated with his headquarters, and did not stop until he retreated ten kilometers away. At this point, he could no longer retreat. If he retreated further, he could see it with a telescope.

Vladivostok is here.

Oba Jiro had no choice but to retreat. Such fierce artillery fire and aircraft bombing might take away the headquarters. In addition, Miyazu and Tamon begged and pretended to retreat.

The artillery fire of the National Defense Force gradually became sparse, but there was no intention of stopping, and the cannons were still firing. However, this cannon seemed to be different.

Yes, these are Russian-made 122 howitzers seized from Harbin and Shuangchengzi. This thing is only installed by the Russian army. It is stupid, big, black and thick. The generals of the National Defense Force do not like it very much, but this kind of howitzer is

The power is not small at all. Anyway, these cannons cannot be used as equipment, so just shoot out all the captured artillery shells.

So other guns stopped firing, and the 12 122 howitzers continued to fire. And they were concentrated within a thousand meters of frontal range, plowing the ground repeatedly. The Japanese divisions at this period did not yet have the establishment of a heavy artillery brigade.

The Third Division only has one artillery brigade with 12 75mm mountain guns. It cannot compete with them in terms of firepower, so they simply pretend to be Sun Tzu.

The Japanese divisions before and after World War I were indeed rustic in terms of equipment. Marshal Fang, who had always paid attention to Japanese intelligence, said that when the main divisions of the Japanese army still used 75 mountain artillery as suppressive firepower, the top 30 elite divisions of the National Defense Forces could only be deployed in the country.

Yes, all are equipped with 105 howitzers.

To say that the power of the 105 gun is not small, the key is how to solve the problem of logistics. Fang Jianxiong, who talks about logistics all day long, emphasized repeatedly during the deployment of this Far East intervention operation.

The battle relied on the Siberian Railway and the Eastern Route.

That is to say, elites like the 22nd Division are equipped with a large number of cars. Other Class A divisions still use packhorses and bicycles as their main means of transportation. Another thing is that in Siberia, a bird's egg place, there is not much room for cars.

From afar, the main means of transportation in Russia is still trains. Cars are not of much use in the vast and sparsely populated eastern region of Russia, and are not as useful as a combination of packhorse and bicycle. In this regard, the 22nd Division's trip to the Far East

Once you do it, you will have a deep understanding of it.

The 122 howitzers fired intermittently for more than two hours before stopping. The infantry of the 22nd Division had no intention of launching a charge. Instead, a reconnaissance plane flew in, dropped a bunch of leaflets, shook its butt and flew away.

Okamura Neiji grabbed a leaflet and read the Chinese and Japanese text on it. The content was very simple. The National Defense Forces of the Republic of China were here to protect overseas Chinese and were allies with the Japanese army. They hoped that the Japanese army would not stop them. The last paragraph was rather annoying, and the deadline was

Tomorrow morning, the Japanese army must withdraw from Razdolnoye and shall not leave 20 kilometers north of Vladivostok in the future, otherwise it will be regarded as a war against the Chinese army.

The leaflet was very simple, the kind printed on wax paper, which looked rough. It also had a strong smell of ink, which made people irritated. Since the Chinese ** team did not launch an infantry attack, but just showed off the artillery fire, Gang

Neiji Murura felt much more relaxed, holding the flyer and ran to the brigade headquarters outside the town.

The headquarters is more than 2,000 meters away from the town. It is not considered a front line, but it is not safe from the distance. It is within the range of the China Army's heavy artillery. Along the way back, I kept seeing huge craters, the kind of 155 howitzer that fires one shell.

When they came down, theoretically, all humans and animals within 40 meters would be killed or injured. The Japanese army did not expect that the National Defense Forces had so many heavy artillery, and they suffered heavy losses after one shelling.

Okamura Neiji rushed to the headquarters. There was no shelling here. Major General Miyazu was not there. Colonel Tamado was in charge here. After asking around, he found out that Miyazu went to a field hospital in a train carriage five kilometers away.

Colonel Domon told Okamura Neiji that the fifth brigade had suffered over a thousand casualties during the morning bombing and shelling, which was still an incomplete statistics. Okamura Neiji looked gloomy. He had been in the town, so he naturally knew that the entire town was dead.

It was turned into ruins. If he hadn't been lucky, the nearest shell exploded a hundred meters away, and he might not have been able to come back.

Silently handing the leaflet to Colonel Domon, Okamura Neiji said: "Sir, withdraw, this battle cannot be fought like this. The equipment gap is too big, the China Army has obviously been premeditated."

Colonel Domon nodded heavily and said: "Okamura-kun is right, especially the heavy artillery regiment. Although it does not have many guns, it is too powerful. The Toyohashi Regiment (18th Regiment) on the front line

, more than 500 people were directly killed. More than half of the Chinese army's artillery fire was aimed at the front-line positions. It is hard to imagine that after such fierce artillery fire, the Chinese army launched an infantry attack, and whether the front-line positions could be defended."

"Report it to His Excellency Oba." As soon as Okamura Neji finished speaking, another sharp whistling sound came from the horizon, and his expression suddenly changed.

The one that continues the bombardment is the 122 howitzer. This kind of cannon is a type of cannon that you don't care about if the barrel is scrapped. It will be useless to keep it in the future. Just shoot out all the shells.

When the news reached Vladivostok, Otani was furious. After he read the telegram, he could no longer bear to be angry and immediately said to the chief of staff: "Notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and lodge a protest with the Chinese government."

This statement made Oi Chenggen very puzzled. Isn't the Imperial Japanese Army invincible? Why did you think of protesting?

Picking up the telegram and looking at it, Oi understood that this battle could not be fought. The current total strength of the intervention force in Vladivostok is more than two and a half divisions, and the troops are divided into two groups. Now there is only one brigade in Vladivostok, and the strength looks like

A lot, but actually not many. The 22nd Infantry Division of the National Defense Force has a full strength of more than 15,000 people, which seems to be less than the Japanese army. The problem is that there are far more than these troops.

The first is aviation. The Japanese army only has a few aircraft, which are used for reconnaissance. The second is artillery. The telegram says that there are more than a hundred heavy artillery, and one of the ** heavy artillery regiments is equipped with several cannons with a caliber of more than 200. Such a large caliber cannon

They are all here. This is clearly the rhythm of a decisive battle with the Japanese army. Finally, the 22nd Division did not launch an infantry attack, which left room for leeway.

According to the habit of the Japanese army, artillery fire was fired on the opposite side, so of course they had to fight back. The problem is that the entire Far East Intervention Force, just a field heavy artillery brigade, was still used to guard Vladivostok. Previously, all the artillery pieces used by Lao Maozi in the Vladivostok Fortress were red.

The army was blown up. Compared with artillery, the Japanese army couldn't compare.

Don't look at the fact that the Japanese army still talks about "the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible". In fact, the entire army has a very clear understanding. Let alone being invincible, the Republic of China Army can defeat the Japanese army with backward equipment.

.The Chinese government’s investment in the navy

It is relatively small, and most of the financial resources are invested in the army. This will make the Japanese army a tragedy. Who makes China a big country? The mainland army is normal. Japan is an island country, and 70% of its military expenditures are spent on the navy, so the army is divided into three parts.

It's worth it. Just like this, the Navy still won't be happy.

Ooi Chenggen put down the telegraph hand, as if he was holding a thousand-jin weight. The moment he let go, he sighed longly: "It's better to inform Britain, the United States, France and other countries." Otani nodded, followed the instructions and said: "Give it to the court.

Please reply and retreat."

Oba Jiro was really furious when he heard the cannons in front firing again, but there was nothing he could do. The Japanese army could launch an attack. The problem was that Oba Jiro was not stupid. Even if he was stupid, his men were not stupid and would not agree to him.

Launching a suicidal attack. Are you kidding? There are nearly a hundred heavy artillery, mortars, etc. on the opposite side, not counting them.

According to intelligence, the National Defense Forces have more mortars, 120, 82, 60, they are armed to the teeth. With the existing strength of one division and two regiments, attacking the opponent's solid defensive position is no different than risking death.

.The key point is that the Japanese army has too few artillery, which cannot play any role at all. They don't even dare to fire.

Fortunately, Vladivostok was calmer and made the decision to protest immediately. After retreating, since Vladivostok was guarding anyway, the Chinese army did not dare to attack, otherwise they would have to face the Japanese naval guns. Thinking of this, Otani and others were even more excited.

Shame on you, those bastards in the Navy have another reason to laugh at the Army.

While ordering the retreat, Otani had someone write a report, describing the equipment of the 22nd Division of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China in an extremely exaggerated tone. He also came to the conclusion that the imperial military expenditure must be tilted towards the army, otherwise

The Japanese Empire was really an island country.

In the past, the Japanese army thought that a division could fight against an elite infantry division of the National People's Liberation Army. Now looking at the 22nd Division, which is armed to the teeth, I suddenly feel that in the past four years,

The gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies has widened even more. In the past, the Japanese army lacked light machine guns and

Mortars, even the heavy artillery on the opposite side is now equipped. In fact, the 22nd Division only has 12 105s, but Otani doesn't care, let's exaggerate and say a heavy artillery regiment. 12 105s, 12 155s. (To be completed
