According to the plan, if the Dynaudio railway network enters the city, then the army of the Daheng Empire will be able to reach the Daheng Empire's two military bases in the east and west of the Kingdom of Dynaudio, located on the shore of the Endless Strait, as well as important areas such as Andan City.

It is of great strategic significance to the Endless Sea strategy for the future of the Great Heng Empire.

To this end, the Daheng Empire did not hesitate to take the initiative to fund the construction of this railway, the investment model is a low-interest loan model, Dynaudio uses the ownership of the railway as collateral, and repays the loan with operating profits, before the loan is repaid, in order to ensure that the loan can be repaid smoothly, the railway line will be operated and managed by the investors of the Daheng Empire.

This railway is very important to the Daheng Empire, and in the future, the Daheng Empire will even station troops along this railway line to ensure the safety of this railway.

But now, the construction of this railway has just begun, and even if the construction speed is increased due to the impact of the war, it will not be able to be fully opened to traffic in three years at the earliest.

Therefore, the 16th Division under the Eighth Army of the Daheng people and other affiliated units now have to go south on foot.

Of course, the heavy equipment will not be transported south on foot, but will be transported directly to Bataan, a port city on the east coast of the Kingdom of Tanna.

Bataan is actually a small city, not rich in arable land, and has no other special resources, but it has a deep-water harbor, and it is relatively easy for the locals to migrate.

Therefore, in the transaction between Daheng and Zhou Yaping, the location of its eastern military base is here.

Many of the heavy equipment of the Daheng people will be shipped directly and then arrive at the port of Bataan, but there is also a lack of perfect port hoisting and unloading facilities in the local area, so the cargo ships accompanying the south are all professional transport ships equipped with large cranes, even if there are no port transportation facilities, they can directly transport heavy artillery ashore.

These artillery pieces that need to be shipped are basically heavy guns of more than 150 mm, such as 150 mm super heavy cannons, 170 mm cannons, 200 mm cannons, 300 mm howitzers, etc.

As for the other artillery pieces of slightly smaller calibers, they all went south with the 16th Division.

Because the situation in Andan City was not very stable, after receiving the order, Ye Weiming Zhongqing took the 16th Division, a field artillery brigade and some other affiliated troops to the south on foot.

When I went south, I naturally suffered a lot!

Even when these troops of the Eighth Army went south on foot, they had already abandoned a lot of super-heavy equipment, and in the eyes of General Daheng, they were all lightly armed, but they still carried a large number of 70-mm field guns, 100-mm howitzers, 120-mm howitzers, and 150-mm light howitzers.

There are several thousand heavy military four-wheeled wagons transporting artillery shells, bullets, and other supplies.

Daheng people traveled lightly all the way, and it took more than a month to travel south from Ningyu Prefecture to Andan City, which attracted the ridicule of many military experts from other countries.

It is estimated that if the people of Daheng fight like this, if the Orissa people are more determined, it is estimated that the Orissa people will kill out of Andan City and annihilate the tens of thousands of princes who surrounded Andan City outside, and it is estimated that the army of the Daheng people has not yet arrived at the battlefield.

But the generals of Daheng were too lazy to pay attention to such rumors.

In fact, the speed of the 16th Division moving south could be even faster, if they didn't care about the artillery baggage in the rear and marched lightly, they would be able to cross hundreds of kilometers from Ningyu Prefecture to Andan City in more than ten days.

However, this team with rifles and machine guns, mortars and infantry guns, and then brought some divisional artillery directly to the battlefield, the generals of the Daheng people felt too empty and had no sense of security in their hearts.

Before Ye Weiming Zhongqing set off, when he faced several bigwigs in the Beijing division urging him to hurry up and go south, and if necessary, he could directly take a 16th division to the south, he replied like this: "Can you fight with that little firepower in the infantry division?" Spank! ”

They would rather go slower and go to Andan with a whole bunch of 150-mm howitzers, field guns and the like.

Of course, this is also the fine tradition of the army units of the Daheng Empire, not the tradition after the unification of the Daheng Empire, but the tradition of the Daheng Empire that has continued for hundreds of years.

In the era of cold weapons, the Daheng people fight a war with more people and more cavalry!

In the era of front-loading guns, especially during the Hengao War, Daheng people played with more artillery and large calibers.

Now the Daheng people are still playing with more artillery and a large caliber.

Looking at the entire Blue Star, there is no army of that country that directly allocates 150 mm howitzers to divisions, let alone tens of thousands of infantry corps, which is directly equipped with dozens of large heavy artillery, and it is also a 150 mm heavy artillery.

There will be no super-heavy artillery regiment after regiment, which will be two or three hundred mm short-barreled howitzers or one hundred and fifty mm or one hundred and seventy mm cannons.

As for the train guns, not to mention, a bunch of various train guns of two hundred millimeters, or even more than three hundred millimeters, converted from naval naval guns.

In addition, the Imperial Army of Daheng also had a 350 mm caliber train gun.

The 350 mm naval gun developed by the Daheng Empire was not equipped by the navy, but later the army finally made a short-barreled version of the howitzer according to the technology of this artillery and used it as a train gun.

The power of this thing is so great, it will fall apart if you fire a shot!

When the army's first 350-millimeter train gun was tested for the first live-ammunition test, it was because the recoil was too huge, and the train site where the train gun was transported was directly shattered.

The army was forced to abandon the original plan of rapid maneuvering, and instead poured the concrete base directly after the maneuver was in place, so as to resist the huge recoil.

What to do after the fight, you have to blow up the cement base first.

The plot of the Great Heng people on heavy artillery is difficult for people from other countries to understand.

However, outsiders don't understand that it's their business, and how Daheng people use it is their own business.

After the 16th Division led by Ye Weiming arrived in Andan, it did not attack immediately, but held its position with the prince's army, and they were waiting for the arrival of heavy artillery in the rear.

Time passed slowly, and after entering the sixteenth year of Qiansheng, the Battle of Andan had lasted for nearly two months.

However, Prince Zhou Yaping believed that the Battle of Andan would end in the near future.

Because the heavy artillery that he and Ye Weiming are looking forward to has arrived one after another, including four 170-millimeter cannons, one 200-millimeter cannon, and six 250-millimeter short-barreled howitzers.

In addition to these super-heavy guns, there were a large number of 150-mm cannons, field guns, howitzers, light howitzers, 120-mm field guns, 100-mm howitzers, 75-mm field guns.

After the arrival of a large number of artillery, especially a large number of heavy artillery pieces of more than 150 mm, the Daheng Imperial Army finally began to act!

On January 13, the sixteenth year of Qiansheng, the army of the Daheng Empire, which had been stationed outside Andan City for a long time, launched its first attack on Andan City!
