The order was immediately conveyed directly to the Artillery Reinforcement Battalion No. 1 and No. 2,
At the same time, 8 105mm Skoda howitzers, 10 105mm Type 101 howitzers, 3 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, and 30 70mm Type 92 infantry guns, a total of 51 guns placed in the first and second locations of the artillery reinforcement camp, began to loot.
Such bombardment!
There is only one target for the bombardment, and that is the artillery position where the Japanese are currently plundering artillery fire, which is the Japanese 41st Artillery Regiment...
The 41st Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army is the standard artillery unit of the 41st Japanese Division of the B Division.
It has three artillery brigades under its jurisdiction.
A total of 36 75mm caliber field guns and mountain guns are equipped.
Among them, there are 24 75mm caliber Type 41 mountain guns and 12 75mm caliber Type 95 field guns.
Although the Type 41 mountain gun and the Type 95 field gun are both of 75mm caliber, the weight of the 75mm Type 95 field gun can even be twice the weight of the 75mm Type 41 mountain gun.
Under this general premise, the power of the 75mm Type 95 field gun is much more powerful than the Type 41 mountain gun.
The artillery regiment under the Japanese 40th Division used to have mostly 75mm Type 95 field guns.
And now the artillery wing under the Japanese 41st Division is mostly equipped with 75mm Type 41 mountain guns.
In other words, even among the standard artillery regiments of Class B divisions, the 41st Artillery Regiment is considered a relatively poor one...
When the Japanese 41st Artillery Regiment exposed its position, the artillery position was destroyed...
The surrounding area is completely blocked!
Fang Yu's artillery reinforcement battalion began to dispatch...
boom!
Rumble!
The overwhelming artillery shells fell directly around the Japanese 41st Artillery Regiment like raindrops...
As the flames burst out, one shell after another began to fall into the position of the Japanese 41st Artillery Regiment...
For a while, there was constant sound of bombing in the surrounding area.
The enemy's artillery was constantly being blown up into the sky, and the ghost artillerymen were sent into the sky one by one.
It was torn into several pieces by artillery fire in the air, and then pieces of residual limbs flew around.
"Your Excellency, the Head of the Reporting Division!"
"The 41st Artillery Regiment's position encountered crazy bombardment from two enemy artillery positions..."
"The 41st Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses! Heavy losses!"
"Requesting evacuation! Requesting evacuation!"
A Japanese major holding a phone was chattering and conveying the meaning of the 41st Artillery Regiment.
"idiot!"
"Why is the enemy's artillery fire so fierce!"
"But the losses of the 41st Artillery Regiment are all worth it!"
"At least these two enemy artillery positions have been locked..."
"Next it's our turn for the 7th Artillery Regiment..."
"In addition, all artillery tanks of the tank wing are in full action!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Destroy all this mysteriously armed artillery at once! Destroy it!"
"Treat others in their own way!"
"This is how these damn Xia troops deceived and annihilated the artillery regiment of the 40th Division..."
"Now they want to use the same tactics to eat up the artillery wing of our 41st Division..."
"It's just wishful thinking!"
"The leader of our division is not that idiot Esaki Sanae!"
The commander of the Japanese 41st Division, Chisei Iwasaki, narrowed his eyes and spoke with an infinitely unruly look on his face.
As soon as he said the words, the whole person immediately became excited!
He felt that victory was close at hand!
The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows...
As the oriole who laughs last, he is proud enough.
boom!
Rumble…
at the same time.
The artillery tanks of the Japanese 7th Artillery Regiment and the 19th Tank Regiment each opened fire, and violently bombarded the first and second locations of Fang Yu's artillery reinforcement battalion in batches!
The 7th Japanese Artillery Regiment is affiliated to the 7th Japanese Division. This is a Category A division, so the subordinate artillery regiments are larger in size.
The Japanese 7th Artillery Regiment has 4 artillery regiments with a total number of 3,000 people!
Two of the mountain gun brigades are each equipped with 12 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, for a total of 24 guns.
A field artillery brigade, equipped with 12 Type 95 75mm field guns.
A howitzer brigade, equipped with 12 105mm caliber Type 91 howitzers!
A total of 48 main guns are equipped! Among them, 12 are 105mm caliber howitzers!
The artillery regiment under this Class A division is not even a bit better than the artillery regiment under the Japanese 41st Division...
The power can even be doubled!
In addition to the Japanese 7th Artillery Regiment providing fire support with 48 main guns, the Japanese tank regiment also took action.
The Japanese Chariot Regiment only has a thousand men, but it is fully equipped with 36 Type 97 medium tanks, 18 Type 95 light tanks and 11 Type 1 artillery tanks...
The Japanese Type 95 light tank is equipped with a 37mm tank gun.
The Japanese Type 97 medium tank is equipped with a 57mm tank gun.
The Japanese Type-1 artillery tank is also called the Type-1 75mm self-propelled field gun, and its firepower is obviously more powerful.
It is equivalent to installing a 75mm caliber field gun directly on a tank. Not only the mobility is greatly improved, but the power of a 75mm caliber field gun can be imagined...
As the Japanese 7th Artillery Regiment and the 19th Tank Regiment joined the battlefield, Fang Yu's artillery battalion strengthened the first battalion and the pressure on the second battalion increased sharply.
For a time, the casualties continued to expand.
The scene got out of control for a while.
"吆西!"
"吆西!"
"Well played!"
"Sato-kun, what do you think of this strategy of the commander of our division, where the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows?"
"First use the 41st Artillery Regiment to attract the enemy's artillery firepower and accurately control their artillery positions!"
"When the enemy bites the hook like a fish, it is equivalent to exposing the position of its heavy artillery."
"At this time, let the 7th Artillery Regiment and the 19th Tank Regiment, which have more powerful firepower, jointly attack..."
"In this way, all the enemy's artillery positions can be destroyed in one battle! All the enemy's heavy firepower can be destroyed!"
"In this way, the warriors of our empire can easily capture the enemy's trench positions under the cover of our empire's powerful artillery fire!"
"Sato-kun, let us look forward to victory together!"
"Sato-kun, you can now call the Commander and ask him to prepare a celebration banquet for our 41st Division in Taiyuan City tomorrow night!"
"This battle will definitely end today! Tomorrow the Japanese division commander will be able to return to Taiyuan to attend the celebration banquet!"
Iwasaki Sensei, the commander of the Japanese 41st Division, spoke with a look of pride on his face.
Sato Kiiko: "..."
Where has he heard this set of rhetoric?
Sanae Ezaki, the commander of the 40th Division who has become a dead ghost... seems... seems to have said such a thing...
