The Japanese soldier Shinozuka had a sneer on his face.
I am the real commander.
who are you?
A higher military rank?
Do you think I'm paying attention to you?
There is no force at all.
"Shinozuka!"
"asshole!"
"I will report everything to the Commander-in-Chief!"
"You will be punished!"
Abe Yanghui said with a cold expression.
"Um!"
"Report the situation to Commander-in-Chief Okamura. This is your freedom and I will not interfere with you."
"But now, please cooperate with me and obey my commander's orders."
"Otherwise, I can deal with you under military law."
"General Abu, you don't want to be disarmed and taken to a military court, do you?"
"Or, you can choose to resist and I'll kill you on the spot?"
The Shinozuka Japanese seemed fearless at this moment.
If he doesn't win this battle well, he should commit suicide by committing seppuku.
This is his final turnaround, and he can't slack off.
"you……"
"asshole!"
"snort!"
"I want to see what results you can achieve by commanding the troops alone!"
"It's not certain who will be sent to the military court then!"
Japanese deputy commander Abe Yanghui said sarcastically.
Although I give in, I definitely can’t be cowardly, otherwise it’s just a slap in the face?
Japanese deputy commander Abe Yanghui led the 15th Division and began to march towards Taiyuan Airport.
The location of Taiyuan Airport is still quite a bit far away from Taiyuan.
For the Japanese, attacking Taiyuan Airport was of great significance.
The best result is naturally to capture all the Taiyuan Airport, including all types of fighter planes. This is the best result.
Even worse, the Taiyuan Airport can be occupied, so that enemy fighter planes cannot take off from the Taiyuan Airport, and they have no risk of being bombed.
No matter which angle we set out from, Taiyuan Airport must be captured.
The 15th Division, which went to attack Taiyuan Airport, was a Japanese Type A division with a strength of 25,000 men. It had lost 5,000 men in the previous bombing, leaving 20,000 men left.
As for the remaining Japs in the 1st Imperial Army, they naturally headed towards Taiyuan.
After the last round of air strikes, coupled with the division of troops of the 15th Division, the Japanese troops heading to Taiyuan now only have about 60,000 Japanese troops and 42,000 Locust Alliance troops.
The total strength is only a little over 100,000.
Compared with the original total strength of 150,000, it has been reduced by one-third.
This time the Japanese did not dare to delay at all, so they seized the time and accelerated their march.
In order to prevent a second air attack from the Xulong Brigade, all anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have entered the first level of combat readiness equipment. In addition, various Japanese troops have dispersed with the brigade as the basic unit...
Even if we want to bomb now, the effect will definitely not be as good as the first time.
The second round of air strikes arrived three hours later...
But the effect this time... was much worse than the previous one.
The Japs suffered 3,000 casualties, the Locust Alliance suffered 2,000 casualties, and the total casualties were less than 5,000...
Although the aircraft flies very fast, the bombers need to fill bombs in various modes when driving back.
It often takes several hours of preparation to fill up several tons of aerial bombs.
After all the hardships, the Shinozuka Japanese finally saw the outline of Taiyuan.
"That's it!"
"victory!"
"Belongs to us!"
"Take the artillery regiment as a unit."
"Construct artillery positions!"
"The 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment!"
"The 8th Heavy Artillery Regiment!"
"The 72nd Mixed Brigade has an artillery regiment."
"The artillery regiment under the 12th Division!"
"The artillery brigade under the 63rd Mixed Brigade and the artillery wing under the 64th Mixed Brigade were combined into one to form the same artillery position!"
"Construct a total of five artillery positions!"
"This commander will bomb Taiyuan into rubble!"
"The 58th Tank Regiment and the 96th Tank Regiment cooperated with the infantry to launch a charge immediately after the artillery battle ended!"
"吆西!"
"Everything that goes against the empire will be reduced to nothing!"
"The final victory is destined to belong to the empire!"
"Long live the Empire!"
"Long live the field locust!"
The Shinozuka Japanese engaged in self-brainwashing on a daily basis.
But I have to say that according to this wave of deployment by the Shinozuka Japs.
A total of four artillery regiments plus two artillery brigades opened fire at the same time, and this firepower could be considered to be stretched to the extreme.
Especially there are two heavy artillery regiments among them.
A typical heavy artillery wing is equipped with 36 air guns above 150mm.
Two heavy artillery regiments equal 72 guns.
There is also a B division-level artillery regiment, generally equipped with 12 75mm Type 95 field guns and 24 75mm Type 41 mountain guns.
There is also a Class A division-level artillery wing, generally equipped with 12 105mm howitzers, 24 75mm Type 95 field guns and 12 75mm Type 41 mountain guns.
As for the artillery brigade level of the Japanese mixed brigade, it is generally equipped with 6 Type 95 field guns and 6 Type 41 mountain guns. The two artillery brigades are 12 Type 95 field guns and 12 Type 41 mountain guns.
In this way, the Japanese artillery currently on display in Taiyuan is: 40 150mm caliber heavy cannons, 20 Type 90 240mm caliber heavy mortars, 12 Type 96 305mm caliber heavy howitzers, and 12 105mm howitzers.
, 48 Type 95 75mm field guns, 48 Type 41 75mm mountain guns...
Total number of artillery pieces...180.
These are high-caliber artillery pieces, serious artillery regiment artillery pieces.
As for the wing-level rapid-fire artillery squadrons and infantry artillery squadrons, they are not included at all.
What about 37mm rapid-fire guns (anti-tank guns), 70mm infantry guns... these are all small guns.
The bottom line is the 75mm Type 41 mountain gun.
This 75mm Type 41 mountain gun has a maximum range of 6,800 meters...
In order to capture Taiyuan in one fell swoop, the Japanese spent a lot of money.
In addition to artillery, the Japanese also arranged two tank regiments with more than a hundred tanks, artillery and chariots to launch attacks at any time.
The smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield became even stronger.
180 heavy guns.
volley.
In fact, there is no need to imagine that kind of scene and picture.
Both inside and outside Taiyuan seemed extremely nervous at this moment.
Three lines of defense, tightly integrated.
The soldiers of the New First Division walked into the trenches according to the order, deployed their positions, and fought bloody battles at any time!
Fight the Japanese with real swords and guns until the end!
Even though many of these soldiers are new recruits, they even learned how to shoot a gun yesterday.
You are now burdened with a heavy responsibility!
An inch of rivers and mountains, thousands of inches of blood!
Never look back and remain determined!
Many recruits went to the battlefield for the first time and could not help but tremble when they smelled the smoke on the battlefield.
