Chen Zhong received a telegram from Li Chuang in Hainan, claiming that there had been a subtle change in the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info field artillery or mountain artillery.

The reconnaissance wing has a strength of 730 people, including a 130-man wing headquarters, a 130-man cavalry squadron, two 160-man cavalry squadrons, and one 100-man transport squadron.

The engineer wing has a strength of 900-1,000 men, almost no mechanical equipment, and can only undertake very few tasks, and the more specialized tasks are mainly carried out by the attached independent engineering wing responsible for transportation and construction of fortifications.

Chen Zhong spent a lot of money to equip Hainan's army with advanced heavy weapons. The establishment of each army of the Hainan army is basically an infantry division, two mixed brigades, two artillery regiments, and an engineer battalion. Some are also equipped with a cavalry brigade.

The heavy artillery was basically 105mm caliber wild mountain guns, and each regiment was equipped with a machine gun company and a close-range bomb platoon.

This kind of equipment is for the army to reduce casualties as much as possible in large-scale operations.

Therefore, every time in the battle, the army in Hainan mostly bombarded with heavy artillery, first destroying the enemy's fortifications and defenses, the second step was to use the fire of the machine gun company to advance the troops, and the third step was to drop bombs at close range, so that when the final charge came, the soldiers' direct face-to-face gunfights would be greatly reduced, or even none, and the battle would be over.

The Hainan army did not attack Ganghwa Island at the first time, but the 1st Division of the 7th Army Xiangzhicheng, a cavalry brigade, and two artillery regiments launched a fierce attack on the Japanese 16th Division in Seoul.

Xiang Zhicheng first ordered two artillery regiments with 60 heavy guns to continuously and fiercely bombard the first line of defense of the Japanese army in Seoul.

Japanese Army? The first line of defense in Seoul was an infantry squadron of the 16th Division. Under heavy artillery attack from the Hainan army, they immediately requested fire support from a Japanese artillery wing on the second line of defense.

In the fortifications of the first line of defense of the Japanese army in Seoul, Squadron Leader Yamaguchi Morishige and Oto Dai-chan, who were hiding in the fortifications, were embarrassed by the support of several guards.

Looking at the embarrassment of the gunpowder fortifications in front of him, the corners of Xiao Fuji Sauce's mouth couldn't help twitching, and after a while, he suddenly pulled out his command knife and roared angrily: "You must kill the heavy artillery group of the Hainan army!" ”

Then he picked up the phone and shouted: "General, please order our artillery wing to shell them as soon as possible, we are about to run out of support!" ”

"Baga Yalu, you stupid pig! It was the heavy artillery group of the Hainan army, and it was not time for us to return fire at this moment. And this is just their advance force. If we use heavy artillery at this moment, once the war breaks out on Ganghwa Island and their reinforcements arrive, Seoul will be in danger! You keep it for me! Until the battle of Ganghwa Island begins! Jiro Okamura yelled into the phone.
