"Actually, even if two of us soldiers change the opponent's one soldier, it will be because they can't hold on first, right?" Akiyama thought about it in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he has overestimated his opponent as much as possible.

"Didn't the British have tanks? If it was at night, it would be difficult for us to get support from tank fire. "Shouichi Terauchi still has a crush on the MK1 tank of the British.

"Don't count on tanks from the British, they only gave us one battalion, about 36 tanks. If the British tank had really worked so well, then he would not have been pushed here by the Germans. "For these guys who are expensive to build and have very high maintenance requirements, Akiyama Yoshiko is quite disgusted. It reminded him of the hardships of being a cavalry unit, a cavalryman had at least half a veterinarian to take care of his four-legged friends, and what about the tanks of the British? They're more troublesome!

"But what about the tanks of the Germans? THE DEPTH OF THE OPPONENT IS MORE THAN 10 KILOMETERS, AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CARRY THOSE HEAVY 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS AND 57MM GUNS THROUGH THE MUDDY GROUND FOR SEVERAL KILOMETERS WITHOUT DELAYING THE FIGHTERS. Shouichi Terauchi asked.

"Leave it to our infantry, prepare more cluster grenades and Molotov cocktails. We had an absolute superiority in forces, and a small number of tanks from the Germans was not a problem. Akiyama said.

"So what about those strong defensive points. ACCORDING TO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FRENCH, THESE DEFENSIVE POINTS NEED TO BE APPROACHED WITH 155MM HOWITZERS AND THEN FIRED FLAT, AND IF WE LET THEM GO, OUR BREAKTHROUGH WILL BE A LITTLE SMALL. Shouichi Terauchi asked one last question.

"Therefore, our troops should be divided into several squads, and in the night environment, the efficiency of interspersing small units will be higher, since one opening is not enough, then it is better to open a few more, and a brigade, or even a squadron, can autonomously penetrate deep into the German position. Then, destroy and kill as much as you can! Akiyama thought for a while and said.

No matter how well the commander's plan is formulated, it must also be strengthened by the grassroots officers and soldiers below, relatively speaking, Akiyama Yoshiko believes that the Japanese soldiers are still very aggressive, and when the opponent is caught off guard, causing chaos and breaking the battlefield as much as possible is definitely the only way to collapse the defense line. So, having used the night to block out the heavy artillery advantage that the Germans might have an advantage, he decided to leave the rest to the junior officers of the Japanese army.

It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War was quite good, and even the most picky French officers and soldiers could give a at least improvisable assessment. Although some of these Japanese soldiers have been discharged for some time. They worked hard to prepare for the Night Raid, and tried to bring heavy weapons that they weren't too familiar with.

The 75MM guns of the French were a bit heavy in their opinion, and it was difficult to follow the troops except for the direct aim at the beginning, and the 57MM guns, 47mm naval guns and mortars provided by the British were the favorite of the Japanese, in order to reduce the weight as much as possible, they removed the shield of the guns, and chose a monopod that was not very good in the firing range, because the weight was relatively light. The French allocated some tractors to the Japanese, and the Japanese were ready to put them to use, of course, relying mainly on manpower, and a small amount of animal power.

A total of 3 divisions launched attacks, among which the commander of the middle breakthrough was the 2nd Division of the Japanese Dispatch Army commanded by Takao Suzuki, the commander of the Japanese division was an artilleryman, and had served as the commander of the artillery wing in the Russo-Japanese War, so he still had a certain understanding of how to correctly shoot artillery. He believes that a good artillery is one that can reach the opponent's artillery, either you have an advantage or you have mobility!

ADHERING TO THIS PRINCIPLE, HE FIRST CONCENTRATED THE 105MM HOWITZERS AND 155MM HOWITZERS BELONGING TO THE DIVISION AND USED THEM AS KEY ASSAULTS, AND AT THE SAME TIME GREATLY REDUCED THE NUMBER OF 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS, BUT INSTEAD EXCHANGED A LARGE NUMBER OF SHORT-BARRELED HOWITZERS FROM THE FRENCH. THE LENGTH OF THE 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUN IS ABOUT 36L, WHICH CAN BE REGARDED AS A CANNON IN THE FIRST BATTLE, AND THE CANNON MUST MEAN MORE WEIGHT AT THE SAME CALIBER.

And what Takao Suzuki finally got from the French was a short-barreled gun with a barrel only 12 times the body, and the structure was very simple, more like an infantry gun, the weight of this gun was only more than 400 kilograms minus the shield, and it could even be easily disassembled and transported. And the height is less than 1 meter, which can easily be covered by the terrain, and the elevation angle of this gun is very large, the maximum elevation angle is 55 degrees, and to some extent it can be used as a mortar.

Of course, although this gun is very light and the angle is also tricky, it also has some shortcomings, one is that the weight of the shell is too light, only 3.5KG in weight. The power is not enough, on the other hand, the range is too close, the maximum range is only about 1800 meters. And because of the short barrel and the small amount of propellant, the initial velocity is also very low, and even if it is fired horizontally, that is, it is a simple civil fortification, like that kind of log cover and rammed earth bunker.

But in any case, at least the problem of artillery following was solved. For this reason, Suzuki Takao also thought that his artillery firepower was enough to assault, so he gave up the British armored forces that were originally destined to lose to him to the friendly forces, according to his words, it was better to coordinate for half a day, it was better to go on his own convenience, I don't expect these tanks to play a role at night, during the day, maybe I have captured the positions of the Germans, and naturally I don't need these guys.

As for Utsunomiya Taro of the 3rd Division of the Japanese European Dispatch Army, he believed more in the infantry in his hands. As a wing commander who led infantry to besiege Arthur Fortress in the Russo-Japanese War, he was impressed by the close-range fire of machine guns and semi-automatic rifles, and the concentration of a large number of semi-automatic rifles and Maxine machine guns by Russian naval officers and men at a distance of about 300 meters cost his wing more than half of the casualties! For this, he firmly believes that bullets at medium and close ranges are more terrible than shells.

Although the French were not equipped with a large number of semi-automatic rifles, they provided a relatively large number of machine guns, so the major general ordered to concentrate half of the division's Shosha light machine guns on the assault troops, and organize a special grenadier group to assist in the assault, according to his words, to drown the opponent with a large number of bullets at the first time when he was at the first distance from the enemy on the opposite side!

In short, the Japanese divisions in charge of the attack had their own plans and practices, and Terauchi Shouichi believed that the British tanks would bring him good luck, and Takao Suzuki made precise arrangements for the artillery. And Utsunomiya Taro strengthened the firepower of the infantry. After arranging everything, all the Japanese officers and soldiers were a little nervous and a little expectant waiting for the arrival of the attack.
