Chapter 1116 122mm howitzer
In addition to a few alien divisions, the others are all elite divisions, including Leng Feng Lu Fourth Division and Lu Qi Division, and these people are gathered together just to defend a Ping An Jing, Yang Chendong really doesn't feel any pressure.
Of course, if it is just to defend the city, these troops will naturally be enough. But what Yang Chendong wants is not only this, what he wants is to conquer the entire Wa Kingdom, especially when the Northern Ming Dynasty prides itself on its wings and gradually begins to show its fangs, the pressure on the new first army and the new second army on the grassland is getting greater and greater day by day, if the problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that unpredictable things will happen at any time.
In the past few years of development in the Northern Ming Dynasty, especially since the movement of the whole army to raise troops, the number of troops has risen to 4 million, and this huge number group alone is enough to play a deterrent role. Against them, even Yang Chendong has no certainty of victory. Ants bite elephants to death, but it's not just talking.
Therefore, Yang Chendong, who should be the defensive battle of Heiankyo in the eyes of others, did decide to fight a counterattack, he wanted to eliminate the main force of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, so as to quickly get out of the war quagmire of the Japanese country.
The war of the Wa Kingdom has been going on for eight months, and compared with the 30-day capture of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, two or three months to conquer other Southeast Asian countries, the delay here is really too long.
The longer the war drags on, the greater the input will be, and the pressure on money and food will increase, which is naturally not a good thing for the Yang family, which is in the development period. And even if it is to solve the pressure on other sides, the war here should be over.
The participants were all the troops of Yang Chendong's attack on the Wa Kingdom. Yes, he can't find any more reinforcements at the moment. Although the Five-Star Army is strong, it has developed over the years, and its strength is not too small, but it has occupied too much territory and many places that need to be guarded, and these more than 200,000 are already most of the mobile forces under Yang Chendong.
When Yang Chendong's eyes looked at the generals, everyone's eyes also converged on him. If you look closely, you can see that their breathing is a little short, and it is obvious that they have also guessed the theme of this meeting, knowing that the great war is about to begin, and that the time has come to make great contributions.
Compared with the nervousness in the hearts of the generals, Yang Chendong was very relaxed, and the reason why he made this decision was Okura.
The Yang family has grown up so far, and Okura has made great contributions.
From some daily necessities to muskets and artillery, the Yang family made enough money and expanded enough strength. Hundreds of years of advanced scientific and technological weapons and advanced technology are the key to Yang Chendong's becoming stronger, making great goals, and implementing them step by step.
This time, with more than 200,000 against 600,000, Yang Chendong also had to rely on the power of Dacang. A completely feasible plan was already in his mind, and now he was only waiting for it to be realized, and he could lay the foundation for the battle to occupy the entire Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop.
"You're excited?" After a moment of silence, Yang Chendong's voice finally came out, and when it reached the ears of the generals, everyone couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, this is indeed a good time for you to make a difference. This battle will also be the moment when we will win and remember history forever, are you ready? When Yang Chendong's voice
When the sound echoed throughout the palace hall, the voices of the generals were heard in unison, "Always ready!" ”
"Good." Satisfied with everyone's answers, Yang Chendong once again said in a loud voice: "The generals will listen to the order..."
......
Also in the Japanese military camp, Ashikaga Yoshimasa was also holding a military conference, and many of his leading generals stood on both sides, waiting for the general to make strategic arrangements.
With nearly three times the strength of the Five-Star Army, and a very familiar geography, and the support of millions of Japanese people behind him, Ashikaga Yoshimasa could not see the possibility of defeat. He also once regarded the Five-Star Army's ability to occupy Heiankyo as a manifestation of the other party's exploitation, if it wasn't for the serious civil strife, how could the Five-Star Army have its current achievements?
Yes, there are powerful firearms in the five-star army, and they are very powerful. It's just that in the face of the charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, firearms can only play an auxiliary role, and in the end it depends on the strength, otherwise, there will be no history of millet plus rifles defeating artillery machine guns.
Besides, it is not that the Japanese state does not have any firearms at all. Like ordinary red-coated cannons, they also have some, the number of about a hundred, which was transported by sea ship when Ashikaga Yoshimasa took the initiative to declare himself a vassal to Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Northern Ming Dynasty.
As for the ordinary muskets, there were about five thousand. Although it is far inferior to the 95 and 81 bars in Leng Feng's hands, it can also hit hundreds of meters away and can play a morale-boosting task. The most important thing is that they have enough troops and the support of the people, which is also where the confidence of the general lies.
With the exception of Hokuriku Province, where crops were affected by the war, grain fields such as Tokaido, especially the largest area of the Higashiyamado Province, were hardly affected. With enough food, they will be able to persevere in the next few years against the Five-Star Army, compared to the Five-Star Army, all food and drink must be transported by sea, they have already occupied an innate advantage.
With such confidence, the Ashikaga Yoshimasa Council, which was seated in the first place, was smiling all the way. In the end, after discussion, the final war plan was formulated, that is, to use a protracted war, adopt a focus on attrition, and finally force the Five Star Army to withdraw from the Wa Kingdom and achieve their goal of regaining independence.
Don't you five-star army have artillery? And the distance can be about thirteen miles. Well, our general's tent is built thirteen miles away, keeping a safe enough distance from you, and as long as the main general is fine, the battle line will not collapse, but they will see how many artillery pieces the five-star army has, how many shells, and who will consume whom in the end.
Judging from this point alone, Ashikaga Yoshimasa's mind is still very quiet, at least he did not choose to attack Heiankyo. Otherwise, the city will be strong, and it will definitely be you who will suffer. But if it comes in a confrontational situation, it is completely different. Especially the news from Beiming that they are about to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Five-Star Army on the grassland, as long as they can support the main force of the Five-Star Army here, once the grassland falls, they will definitely be confused, and it may be time not to retreat.
There are allies to help each other, and now we only need to continue the confrontation, and it is a great achievement to support the main force of the Five-Star Army.
After the meeting, from the generals back to their respective camps, a large net was spread out, and a confrontation appeared. At the same time, all the shogun's tents were moved to a distance of fifteen miles from Heiankyo to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The actions of the Japanese army were collected and sorted out by the intelligence department and sent to Yang Chendong, looking at this result as he expected, Yang Chendong just sneered, and said secretly in his heart: "Who told you that the artillery of my five-star army can only hit about thirteen miles?" ”
The so-called 100-mm mortar, only because of its ease of carrying, has become the standard configuration of the cold front army. In the warehouse, I don't know how many powerful guns were not taken out at all, such as the Type 86 122mm howitzer.
The Type 86 122mm howitzer is a divisional howitzer successfully developed in 1985 with reference to the Soviet D-30 122mm howitzer according to the needs of modern warfare, and is used to replace a large number of old Type 54 and 54-1 or 122mm howitzers. The Type 86 122 mm howitzer has a long barrel, 30 times the caliber, a total weight of 3.2 tons, a rate of fire of 6~8 rounds per minute, a 360 ° firing range, and can use anti-personnel grenades, armor-piercing shells, extended-range shells, smoke screen shells, flare shells and anti-armor submunitions and other ammunition, the range of general artillery shells is 18 kilometers, and the range of concave extended-range projectiles can reach 21 kilometers. The anti-armor submunitions used in Type 86 contain 30 bullets, have an armor-piercing thickness of 500 mm, and have a maximum range of 15 kilometers. Compared with similar howitzers at home and abroad, the W86 type has compact structure, easy operation, long range, high precision, simple process and low cost, which can be said to have caught up with the world's advanced level, especially the 360 ° ring firing ability and long range of the 86 type, which is second to none in the world's similar artillery.
The firing range reached 15 kilometers, which is twice that of a 100-mm mortar, and it is completely possible to take the opponent by surprise.
In the Heiankyo treasury, there is a 122-mm howitzer that has been placed, and no one knows when it appeared here and why it appeared here, but they knew that the artillery was powerful.
At this point, I have to talk about the character that Yang Chendong set for himself. But everything that was taken out of the big warehouse, he rarely gave an explanation, at the beginning, there were still some people who were curious about where the things came from, Yang Er had also made mistakes in this regard, and even once chased Yang Chendong for a result.
The answer is that he didn't get any answer, and he was arranged to train in the army, which frightened Yang Er, he was not afraid of being a soldier and suffering, but afraid that his identity as a member of the Yang family would be gone.
After training for a while, after he returned to Yang Chendong's side, he closed his mouth tightly, knowing what to ask and what not to ask. Even Yang Er is like this, it is conceivable that other people dare to have so many problems. Because of this, Yang Chendong has become more mysterious.
Let's say that when the 122-mm howitzer appeared in front of several generals, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Some of them had heard the news that there were some powerful artillery pieces being developed in the arsenal of the Red Embedded City, but no one had seen what it looked like. Now that I finally have the opportunity to feast my eyes, I naturally look surprised and excited.
