The command room of the regimental headquarters of the 6th Division.

A group of Japanese officers were listening to the lecture of the commander of Gu Shoufu's division with their heads down.

Circling around like a vicious wolf, the head of Gu Shoufu's division scolded angrily: "Bagaya Road! Is Yuhuatai's army so difficult to fight? Look at you one by one, it's a shame for our Kumamoto Division! Especially you, Takeda-kun, I've always been very optimistic about your 13th Wing? Why did it also beat! ”

Straightening his waist, Captain Takeda replied stiffly: "I have failed the trust of the division commander, and I am willing to commit suicide by disembowelment to thank the emperor!"

gave the captain of the Takeda Wing a big ear scraper, and the head of the Gu Shoufu division scolded sharply: "If you want to die, it's not that easy? I'll write this account down for you first, hundreds of lives of Imperial warriors! You've got to earn it back for me one by one! Otherwise, you're not qualified to die! ”

The captain of the Takeda Wing, who was slapped hard, straightened his back again: "Hai! Swear allegiance to the Imperial State! ”

Those who govern the army need to be lenient and severe.

As the military commander of the elite division, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division naturally does not know this truth.

At present, it is the time to employ people, and Gu Shoufu's division cannot rashly kill the general.

Moreover, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the defeat of a single battle cannot completely negate the past achievements of the Takeda Wing Captain.

Glancing at the Captain of the Takeda Wing again, the head of the Gu Shoufu Division asked in a sullen voice, "Has Kuroki-kun's body been snatched back?"

The captain of the Takeda Wing shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, you have snatched it back!" Just ......"

Seeing that the captain of the Takeda Wing was spitting, the head of the Gu Shoufu Division scolded: "It's just what!"

Captain Takeda then shouted, "It's just that our soldiers killed four more Imperial Warriors while carrying Kuroki's corpse?"

A dark cloud appeared on his face, and Gu Shoufu asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on?" The Chinese army actually did not abide by the Geneva international conventions and actually opened fire during the armistice? ”

Hehe, Gu Shoufu, an old puppet, is also worthy of talking about international conventions, it's too disgusting.

After thinking for a while, Captain Takeda said, "The Shina army didn't shoot at our soldiers, but only set up a booby under the corpses of Kuroki-kun and other fallen warriors, and at least one of our squad soldiers lost their combat effectiveness!"

The face of the commander of Gu Shoufu's division became more and more ugly, like an active volcano about to erupt, and he roared: "Baga! Cunning commander of the China Army! Chief of Staff, have you figured out the number of the Chinese army that is fighting against us on the other side? ”

The chief of staff standing on the side replied: "Your Excellency, commander of the reporting division, according to the information sent by the intelligence officers, the 262nd Brigade and the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division of the German Armament Division are fighting against us."

After a little hesitation, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division said: "Yo Xi, wasn't this 88th Division disabled by the imperial army in Shanghai?" Why is the combat effectiveness still so strong! It seems that this surname Sun is not simple! ”

The chief of staff continued: "The 45th Wing and the 13th Wing have been repeatedly defeated by a supplementary regiment of the 262nd Brigade."

Suddenly suspicious, Gu Shoufu asked in surprise, "Nani? The one who killed and wounded my Sixth Division many times was actually a supplementary regiment that did not enter the stream! What is the number of this regiment and who is the commander? ”

The two heels together, the chief of staff replied: "Report to Your Excellency the division commander, the first regiment of the reserve of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division of the Chinese Army, Major Liang Shanhao!"

The head of Gu Shoufu's division was stunned: "Liang Shanhao? Where did he come from? Did you find his profile?"

The chief of staff said: "According to the intelligence report, Liang Shanhao graduated from the ninth phase of the Nanjing Central Military Academy, specializing in the infantry department, and studied armored technology at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, and is good at special operations!"

The head of Gu Shoufu's division smiled: "I thought it was an elite from the Imperial Lu University?" I thought it was a character like Jiang Baili! I didn't expect that the Whampoa Department of China could also cultivate such a talent, and it seems that my imperial army has met an opponent! ”

In fact, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division didn't know that the reason why Liang Shanhao played so well was because of the God of War system behind him.

The command level of the Whampoa officers was at best one-half of that of the Japanese military academy, and it was indeed impossible to compare with the Japanese commanders.

Occasionally, if you go to study at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, you have to be useful, otherwise it will be useless to learn the German armored military department, and at the level of industrialization in China at that time, it is also the art of slaying dragons, because there are no tanks for you to play!

As the saying goes: it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

And Liang Shanhao has a systematic body, coupled with his own Whampoa identity and study experience in Germany, it has to be another matter.

At this time, Togo Daisa of the Heavy Artillery Wing walked into the command room of the division headquarters.

Suddenly, the commander of Toshio Asaya's division gave a standard Japanese-style military salute: "Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, the 38th Heavy Artillery Brigade Togo Jiro is here to report!"

With a happy look on his face, the head of Gu Shoufu's division laughed loudly: "Yo Xi! Togo-kun came at the right time! This time, the Chinese army wants to make them suffer hard. ”

The commander of the division of Asaya Shoufu bowed, and Dongxiang Dazuo said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the heavy artillery carried by my heavy artillery brigade encountered bad road conditions on the way, so it was long overdue, I hope that Your Excellency the division commander will forgive me!"

Gu Shoufu's division laughed: "What a crime, you don't come early or late, you will give me a fierce bombardment of the position of the first regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the Chinese Army tomorrow, I don't believe that the commander of the supplementary regiment can still escape under the fire of my empire."

Dongxiang Dazuo responded: "Hayi! Tomorrow, we must let the opposing army know what the truth of the empire is. ”

The commander of Gu Shoufu's division asked again: "Where is our heavy artillery now, I want to personally review the empire's big killing weapon."

Range is truth, caliber is justice.

The head of Gu Shoufu's division has always been convinced of these two sentences.

Is there anything that the god of war can't solve on the battlefield in China? If there is, then there will be a round of heavy artillery to wash the floor, and if there is, then a second time to wash until there is not a single living hole in the opponent's position.

In the Songhu battlefield, the imperial naval guns that entered the Huangpu River have verified this truth.

Even though the Chinese army has put millions of troops into the battlefield, it has not been bombed in the face of imperial artillery fire.

At a distance of 1,000 meters from the headquarters of the 6th Division, Japanese soldiers of the 38th Brigade were in full swing digging heavy artillery positions.

As the main force of the Sixth Division in this attack on Nanjing, the Central China Front specially assigned a heavy artillery brigade to the commander of Gu Shoufu's division to ensure the firepower requirements for the attack.

Togo Daisa's heavy artillery brigade was armed with a total of 8 150-mm Type 89 cannons.

The cannon weighs 10,422 kilograms, with an upper and lower firing angle between minus five and plus 43 degrees, a horizontal firing angle of 20 degrees left and right, a maximum firing range of 18,100 meters, a muzzle velocity of 734.5 m/s, and a maximum of two rounds per minute, which can use both Type 93 grenades and Type 93 sharp rounds, as well as poison gas shells.

On the Songhu battlefield, the Type 89 cannon and the sFH18 howitzer equipped with the 10th Artillery Regiment of the Chinese Artillery bombarded each other, but it did not fall behind at all.

The artillery played a great role in the Chinese battlefield, especially in the Shanghai battlefield, where the 88th Division suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the artillery.

There are other types of artillery under the establishment of the Sixth Division itself, and so many cannons will definitely be enough for the Chinese army in Yuhuatai to drink a pot by then.

Surrounded by a group of officers, the commander of the division Gu Shoufu inspected the eight heavy guns lined up with great satisfaction.

Pestle with the command knife, Gu Shoufu shouted to the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade: "Warriors of the empire, let the Chinese army taste our strength tomorrow!"

Seeing the division commander personally inspecting, the imperial soldiers who had already stood in place roared together: "Enter Nanjing City!" Grab food, grab money, grab women. ”

Looking at the tiger-wolf-like soldiers with satisfaction, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division continued to walk along the artillery group.

Seeing a soldier who looked like a soldier, Gu Shoufu's division stopped: "Where is your hometown?"

Hurriedly put down the shovel in his hand, and the five big and three thick military Cao replied: "Report to the division commander, I am from Hokkaido."

Stretched out his hand and patted the sturdy shoulder of the military officer, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division laughed sullenly: "There are good soldiers there, and they are all very brave, and they have to give me a good artillery tomorrow!" Entering the city of Nanjing, I invite you to drink sake and Japanese sashimi. ”

The military cao from Hokkaido suddenly stood upright: "Hai! Serve His Excellency the Division Commander! ”

Under the night sky, the muzzles of the 8 heavy guns were directed at the Yuhuatai position, especially the position of Liang Shanhao's reserve of the 1st Regiment.

As soon as the morning dawns, the 8 heavy guns will frantically wash the floor, and the officers and men of the 262nd Brigade will be tested by the fire of war again.

I hope that the howitzer of Zhonghua Gate can live up to expectations and fight a beautiful artillery battle!
