"Commander, what you mean is that... special operations will be carried out in conjunction with all-out artillery warfare?"
"this……"
"Commander, it seems difficult to reconcile the two..."
Sun Shaobai, chief of staff of the New First Division, looked confused.
"No."
"What I mean is, directly bombard Songshan..."
"But don't use all the artillery. Just use one-third of the artillery."
"The remaining two-thirds of the artillery are hidden and will be fully activated when the time is right!"
"In addition, the infantry must also show signs of risking their lives to attack Songshan..."
"Didn't I ask you to bring 10,000 Ghost Alliance troops this time?"
"Just enough for them to charge and serve as cannon fodder."
Fang Yu smiled calmly.
"Commander, we must decide this battle quickly!"
"If we use all the artillery, Songshan will be defeated within one day."
"At that time, we will be sitting on Songshan Mountain, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat..."
"If only one-third of the artillery is used..."
"This... I don't know how long the fight will last..."
"Commander, think twice!"
Sun Shaobai, Chief of Staff of the New First Division, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed suit.
"Shaobai, the commander is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking!"
"What a great plan, Commander!"
"Having one-third of the artillery shelling Songshan not only gave the Japanese soldiers in Songshan a great sense of oppression, but also made them think that the firepower of our troops on this trip was nothing more than this..."
"In this case, when the Jincheng Japs hear the news, they will most likely choose to lead troops to fight, thinking of attacking us from behind, and launching an internal and external attack with the Songshan Japs..."
"And once the Japs troops in Jincheng are mobilized, two-thirds of our hidden artillery will be able to beat these Japs deployed from Jincheng to death!"
"Once the Japs' active forces are eliminated, both Songshan and Jincheng will be ours!"
"The commander's use of troops is truly a stroke of genius!"
Zhou Weiguo, deputy commander of the new 1st Division, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but marvel.
Thinking about it this time, it is really extraordinary!
"It's not really a stroke of genius."
"The strategic deployment is relatively simple."
"It just happens that I have an appetite for the Japanese."
Fang Yu shrugged and said calmly.
"I see……"
"That's a good strategy!"
"It's just Commander, what if the Japanese in Jincheng don't fall for it?"
"The Jincheng Japs are like turtle bastards, huddled in their turtle shells, then we..."
Sun Shaobai, chief of staff of the New 1st Division, obviously had longer-term thinking.
"If we don't get the trap, we can only attack by force. We will take Songshan and then Tujin City..."
"Although the Japanese reinforcements are coming from the surrounding areas, don't we have any reinforcements?"
"I have ordered the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division of Yucheng and Juncheng to mobilize troops."
"If there really is an all-out chaotic war, our New First Division may not necessarily be at a disadvantage."
"Just enough to eat all these devils here!"
"snort!"
"Anyway, it's just a little bit. No matter how many Japs you kill, it won't be enough!"
"Since we are fighting, let's fight vigorously!"
Fang Yu clenched his fists, fighting spirit surging.
At the same time, as Fang Yu's military order was issued, the artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division was dispatched, and then the artillery regiment of the 1st Heavy Artillery Division, one brigade and one regiment were dispatched, and two Katyusha rocket artillery battalions were deployed...
The equipment of the Artillery Regiment of the First Infantry Division: 75mm Type 95 field guns*9, 75mm Type 41 mountain guns*9, 70mm Type 92 infantry guns*27!
The equipment of the 1st heavy artillery division, 1 brigade and 1 regiment: 155mm59 cannon*18!
The equipment of the two Katyusha rocket launcher battalions: Katyusha rocket launcher vehicles*20!
All kinds of equipment are in place.
9 75mm Type 95 field guns, 9 75mm Type 41 mountain guns, 27 70mm Type 92 infantry guns... plus 18 155mm59 cannons and 20 Katyusha rocket launcher vehicles...
All together, there are more than 80 artillery pieces...
Barely one-third of the firepower.
Never delayed.
Once deployed, fire directly.
Target, Songshan.
boom!
Rumble!
Accompanied by bursts of fierce bombardment, the 10,000 Oni Alliance Army, led by its corps commander Nishizawa Tae and deputy corps commander Sato Nogo, launched an all-out charge towards the top of Matsuyama.
The battle to attack the mountain begins!
The power of artillery is there, there is even a 155mm caliber cannon, and the front is in a posture!
For a time, it was all the rage!
On the top of Songshan Mountain, the Japs of the 58th Mixed Brigade are suffering a heavy blow...
There are a total of 18 155mm fastened m59 cannons!
Coupled with the unlimited firing of 20 Katyusha rocket launchers...
The mountain peak... was blown flat in an instant...
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Asking for help from Commander Hase Mekei!"
"The enemy is bombarding our 58th Mixed Brigade!"
"The enemy's firepower is fierce...the firepower is fierce!"
"Having almost the firepower of three artillery regiments of the empire..."
"Matsuyama is in danger! Matsuyama is in danger!"
"Please give instructions, Commander!"
"Please give instructions, Commander!"
"The enemy begins to charge..."
"They are all wearing the uniforms of imperial soldiers...suspected traitorous imperial soldiers..."
"Critical! Critical!"
The leader of the Japanese 58th mixed brigade looked at the houses collapsing one by one and couldn't help but roar.
Situation, extreme crisis!
The trumpet of war has sounded, and the telephone lines have naturally been cut off, so now this group of devils can only communicate by telegraph.
The telegram from the 58th Mixed Brigade was sent directly to the headquarters of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army stationed in Jincheng...
"Your Excellency, Commander, based on the telegram from the commander of the Yanagawa Aina brigade, we can conclude that the enemy's firepower can reach at least two heavy artillery brigades, so that we can be equal to our three artillery regiments."
"Besides, this charge force should be the so-called Ghost Alliance Army formed by the New First Division..."
"It is said that during the battle, the New First Division captured many unsteady imperial soldiers..."
"Then they used despicable means to make this group of unsteady imperial soldiers surrender and formed a ghost alliance..."
"Whenever such a war comes, the New First Division will let these Ghost Alliance soldiers serve as cannon fodder..."
"The Ghost Alliance Army of the New First Division and our Locust Alliance Army... have some similar effects..."
The Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army frowned and then analyzed from the side.
"I'm not here to hear this nonsense."
"What should we do now?"
"We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
"If Songshan is lost, our city of Jincheng will be in danger."
"Jincheng and Songshan are the horns of each other, so that we can remain stable as before..."
"As expected of the famous New First Division, their commander is indeed shrewd..."
