"Spread out the battle line, we detoured from the flank, the opponent will not have many armored units, except for the spearhead is strong enough, the rest of the part can be easily scattered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe still have the advantage in our forces, and even if we use crowd tactics, we can definitely take out our opponents. When the news of the discovery of the main German force on the flank was sent to Akiyama Yoshiko, the father of the cavalry of the Japanese army did not choose to retreat, but ordered the third division to block the opponent to the death, while the other two divisions quickly moved closer to him.

At this time, you must not go, if you really go, then you will never be defeated without a fight. The only way is to take advantage of the relatively large number of Japanese troops and launch simultaneous attacks from all directions, so as to wear out the opponent's attack power little by little. And Akiyama Yoshiko still thinks that under normal circumstances, if you simply fight infantry, the Japanese army will at least not suffer. Because in the absence of an advantage in artillery, Japan defeated the Russians by constant assaults and flank detours of the infantry, and now he intends to recreate the glory of those years!

A large number of Japanese troops began to swarm to the flanks, and the 3rd Division went up first, then the 2nd Division of Takao Suzuki! The latter was also smarter, concentrating his artillery and machine guns as much as possible while mobilizing his forces. And Terauchi Shouchi and the British were stepping up to cross the battle line, and then regroup their troops, and the order given to him by Akiyama Yoshiko was that in the event of a stalemate between the two sides, his troops would deliver a fatal blow under the cover of British tanks, even if the situation was unfavorable, but the Japanese army was not unable to fight back!

"Do not underestimate the level of artillery of the Germans at any time!" This is a phrase that Akiyama Yoshiko repeatedly mentioned in his memo after the end of this battle.

Major General Seckert certainly knew that infantry and a small number of armored troops alone would not be able to stop the repeated charges of three divisions and more than five figures of infantry. There are thousands of people all over the mountains! A small number of armored forces simply cannot take care of a long line of defense, and even more so he can't throw too much armor in his hands, he has only one armored battalion! You also need to deal with the British tanks, and the duel in a relatively open field is equal for both sides, and your side can easily stab the Japanese front, so under the leadership of the British tanks, your side is also in danger!

When a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the horizon of the German army. When the Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms were lined up in a line and kept surging over like a tidal wave, the German heavy artillery group, which had not really shown its face since the beginning of the war, finally came into full swing!

According to the normal establishment, a German division has 14 artillery batteries of all sizes! 2 150MM HEAVY HOWITZER BATTERIES, 4 TO 6 105MM LIGHT HOWITZER BATTERIES, AND 77MM RAPID-FIRE GUN BATTERIES ARE ALIVE! A RAPID-FIRE BATTERY HAS 6 GUNS, AND THE OTHER BATTERIES HAVE 4 GUNS, WHICH MEANS THAT A PURE GERMAN DIVISION HAS UP TO 36 75MM GUNS, 24 105MM LIGHT HOWITZERS, AND 8 150MM HEAVY HOWITZERS! Such firepower is not to say that the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War cannot be compared, and even now, with the exception of the more top-notch regiments within Germany, there is no fixed artillery of a foreign unit of the same level that can exceed this level!

At this time, when the British and French artillery were still playing simple artillery centralized use, relying on the more popular radio and field telephones, as well as aviation reconnaissance, the German Army had begun to play the method of decentralized artillery arrangement and concentrated firepower! Although the artillery is at least a company, it can be planned to tilt a large number of targets at the same time in a certain area in the shortest possible time!

Major General Seckert concentrated more than 100 barreled guns of various calibers in 2 divisions, which were maneuvered by tractors, tractors, and animal power, and they were distributed at a distance of 4,000 meters to 7,000 meters behind the attack front, and when the Japanese 3rd Division launched the first wave of wing-sized offensives, thousands of Japanese troops hit the Germans' inclined bullet rain!

"A Japanese army is interspersing with the right flank of our axis of attack and will soon reach the AD5 area, the size of a regiment. The infantry on our flanks may not be able to stop them! "On a DO11 two-seater reconnaissance aircraft, a telegram was being sent to the German command and then to the artillery via field telephone. After about fifteen minutes, the already prepared German artillery began to conduct test firing, and after 3 minutes, began to enter into effective firing!

Every minute that passed, tons of ammunition were poured into the target area, and tons of steel flew through the air with a death roar and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, bringing flames and death to the Japanese caught off guard.

"This is the heaviest artillery bombardment I've ever experienced since I joined the army, the earth shook in flames and explosions, and my soldiers marched in a long formation toward the battlefield, and just as they were about to reach the battlefield, a torrent of flames from the sky blocked our advance, a wall of flames and dust blasted my troops into several pieces, and then they began to extend, chasing the fleeing soldiers like giants of flames!" After the war, a Japanese wing commander recalled the situation in this way.

The first round of artillery attacks is always the strongest, and there is a theory that 70% of casualties are inflicted in the first minutes of the shelling. Patches of Japanese troops and their weapons were wiped off the ground by a pair of flaming hands, leaving craters and charred earth. There are also scattered severed limbs and wreckage. The scrolling barrage continued to stretch backwards. The Japanese army that beat an entire wing to pieces.

The shelling did not last long, only half an hour, and after the first round of shelling, some of the closer-range artillery began to move to the next firing position, and according to the order just sent, they needed to support the attacking troops in launching a deep assault on the Japanese troops.

It is naturally easy for an armored battalion and several regiments to deal with two Japanese brigades, but when it comes into contact with the main force of the third division, the pressure also increases sharply by a level. Moreover, after receiving the support of the second division, the Japanese army also accumulated some artillery, and at this time, the Japanese artillery also began to carry out suppressive counterattacks, but because of the limited level of artillery skills, the Japanese army was more direct fire. And the number of artillery concentrations could not be compared with the Germans. After all, the artillery of both sides is there.
