Outside the city of Beiping, the sound of artillery rumbled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The attack of the reorganized 2nd Division was very fierce, and it had already attacked the head of Beiping twice in less than an hour after the start of the battle, which caused great pressure on the Japanese troops defending the city.
In fact, before formulating the battle plan, Yang Chengwu originally planned to just scare and scare Tada Jun, and did not really capture the battle plan of Beiping City, after all, as the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years, the solidity of Beiping City is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and there are still a large number of Japanese puppet troops in the city.
However, when Ma Zheng transferred the artillery brigade directly under the command of the Second Division, he gave Yang Chengwu a surprise; although the artillery brigade directly under the Suicha Military Region is only a brigade-level military unit, it is no worse than an artillery division in terms of the quantity and quality of artillery.
After many adjustments, the artillery brigade of the Suicha Military Region now has three artillery regiments and one infantry regiment under its jurisdiction, equipped with a total of 36 Japanese 75 mm caliber mountain artillery and 36 field artillery, and another mixed artillery regiment equipped with 72 rocket launchers and 12 150 mm caliber field heavy artillery.
With so many siege weapons, coupled with the fact that there were only more than 7,000 Japanese troops and more than 4,000 puppet troops in the city, Yang Chengwu really had the idea of capturing Beiping City, so he ordered all troops to go all out as soon as the war began.
"Boom, boom" Looking at the 24-ton field heavy artillery roaring like a giant beast, Yang Chengwu, Lu Ming and others were all worth it, and the ordinary officers who followed them were even more excited.
"Commander, this little devil's cannon is powerful, grandma's, if you take a hit, it won't be a meat mud." Wang Tao, chief of staff of the Second Division, grinned.
"Lao Wang, this thing can kill you without being next to each other, this guy is called a cannon, the caliber is twice that of the 75 mountain cannon, but the power is that the small mountain cannon can't catch up, it's useless to lie on the ground with a shell, it is blown up if it hits the body directly, and the one lying on the ground is called the shock death, the person who died looks like nothing is wrong on the surface, but the internal organs inside are all rotten, this thing is really fucking powerful." Li Mingda, commander of the artillery brigade, said.
"Lao Li, let's have a discussion, after this battle, allocate a few pieces of your cannon to our brigade, we are not greedy, we only need four guns!" Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Lao Li, we can be regarded as old friends, four doors will be successful, never more." The third brigade commander Hu Tianchang also said.
"Go and go, there are only 12 such treasures in our military region, and this was captured when we hit Taiyuan last time, so don't worry about our Lao Li's family background." Li Mingda hurriedly said, he really didn't dare to say this, he knew the guys in front of him, they all looked like bandits, if they really took a fancy to them, it would be difficult to detain a few doors at that time.
Lu Ming on the side smiled and said: "Don't embarrass Brigade Commander Li two of you, the little devil's field heavy artillery is powerful, but it is not suitable for us, so don't worry about it!" ”
"Political commissar, why is this, does this cannon still recognize people, only Lao Li is allowed to use it, but our old king is not allowed to call it?" Wang Tao asked with a frown.
Lu Ming smiled and said again: "This little devil's field heavy artillery has always only appeared in the establishment of brigades, and the devil's field heavy artillery brigades are generally only equipped with two types of heavy artillery, one is the 96-type 150mm heavy cannon, and the other is the 96-type 150mm field howitzer. See, the heavier one is the Type 96 150mm heavy cannon, and the little guy next to it is the Type 96 150mm field howitzer. ”
"The little devil's Type 96 150mm heavy cannon was originally a giant cannon for coastal defense and suppressive shooting, and it was an improved version of the Type 89 150mm field cannon. Equipped only with units such as the heavy artillery wing and the field heavy artillery brigade of the permanent division, this kind of giant cannon is a super cannon that the Japanese army only began to serve last year, and in terms of performance, it is now the most powerful 6-inch army cannon in the world, and the firing range of ordinary projectiles is farther than the Italian 150mm cannon and the 155mm cannon of the US army, and the projectile is the heaviest, heavier than the current 155mm bottom row projectile. The caliber of the cannon is 149.1mm, and the ammunition used is armor-piercing blasting shells, grenades, arson shells, and chemical bombs, with a maximum range of 26200m. ”
"Grandma's, can you fight twenty kilometers away?" The crowd was shocked again.
"It's powerful, but this guy can't afford to be used by our ordinary field troops, so even if he does, he can only blow it up or sell it!" Lu Ming.
"Why! Why is something so good not suitable for field troops? ”
"Do you know how much this guy weighs? 24 tons, to be specific, it should be 24,314 kilograms, that is, 48,628 kilograms, and a single shell weighs 104 kilograms. Such a huge cannon can only be towed by special heavy trucks except for trains, and those big trucks of Lao Li are used to pull such heavy artillery. ”
Then Lu Ming continued: "Even so, its mobility is not as good as that of a mule-drawn mountain cannon, even if you give each of your brigades 4 huge cannons, you can't pull it away, so this cannon is not suitable for ordinary troops at all." ”
"It's true, more than 40,000 catties are really not suitable for our field troops. But can we get a few games with that little one, I think that guy is only a few thousand pounds, and a small car can be pulled, and the power is quite big, what do you say? Yang Chengwu suddenly spoke.
As soon as Lu Ming heard this, he knew that Commander Yang was also moved, and immediately said: "Commander, you are talking about the little devil's 96-type 150mm field howitzer, this kind of gun is mainly used for suppressive shooting, it is the field howitzer of the artillery unit and the elite field heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese elite division or brigade, and it is also the new 150mm caliber howitzer produced by the Japanese Army during the war. ”
"The performance of this model of howitzer is really good, and the weight is only more than 8,000 catties, which is indeed quite suitable for ordinary infantry. But the problem is that the Japanese army has extremely strict control over this kind of artillery, and once the war is unfavorable, they will blow up these heavy weapons at the first time, so it is really not easy for us to have such artillery. Lu Ming explained.
Just when Yang Chengwu, Lu Ming and others were talking about heavy artillery, the North China Front Army Headquarters once again exploded, and the reason was also related to these heavy artillery.
It is said that Tada Jun got dressed and hurried to the combat command room, preparing to mobilize troops to hold Beiping City and wait for reinforcements from the peripheral troops, when he saw Major General Hirata Masa, deputy chief of staff of the front army, hurriedly running in and saying: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army besieging the city is equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery and is bombarding the West Gate. ”
"Nani, heavy artillery? How can the people have heavy artillery, do you see clearly? Tada Jun said angrily.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, it is clear to me that the people of China are indeed armed with at least one brigade of heavy artillery, and the sound should be 105mm howitzers and 150mm cannons made in the Empire." Hirata replied immediately.
"Nani! Are you sure? Tada Jun asked with a trembling voice.
"Hay!"
Hirata's affirmative answer made the entire front army headquarters silent, and everyone looked at Major General Hirata blankly as if they were stupid, with an unbelievable expression.
Is it possible that the people of China are actually equipped with field heavy artillery, and they have always been poorly equipped with the Eighth Road of China?
Even the Imperial Army didn't dare to equip too much of that thing in the field heavy artillery, so how could the people of China equip it, did they have the production technology? You must know that ordinary steel cannot be used in the production of field heavy artillery, and ordinary steel cannot withstand the vibration of field heavy artillery, so special steel must be used. And special steel, even the Great Japanese Empire, has only introduced new technology from its ally Germany in the past two years, and it is impossible for the people of China to have such technology.
Moreover, equipping field heavy artillery is far more than technically impractical, there are also many limitations. (To be continued.) )
