Thirty-two 155 mm guns began to carpet bombard the Japanese trenches within the frontal range. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The infantry artillery of the 371st Division was concentrated, because the power of the shells could not be compared with the heavy artillery, so they were not assigned a salvo mission, but carried out fixed-point bombardment of the places where the heavy artillery had bombarded.

Every two guns form a battle group, responsible for a 400-meter-long area, that is, a bombardment target of the heavy artillery battalion, but whenever there is a crowd moving in the target, these two guns will bombard non-stop.

Experienced veterans generally know that after an artillery bombardment of a place, it will never turn the muzzle back again, and even if it is turned back, then the next shell will never fall into the crater of the previous shell. So, theoretically, as long as you can hide in the crater of the shell, then you are basically guaranteed to be absolutely safe.

The Japanese were not stupid at all, just 75 mm infantry guns were enough to make them uncomfortable, and now 155 mm heavy guns came, and they were fired in a salvo, carpet bombing of a target area.

155 mm guns are nothing in the navy, and naval warships that want to have a little combat effectiveness must be equipped with 203 mm high-caliber guns, but for the army, guns above 100 mm are considered heavy artillery.

What is Heavy Artillery?

Heavy artillery is a strategic weapon, and the guy who can be called a strategic weapon, will it be a paper tiger?

After the second round of shooting, the Japanese troops hiding in the position reacted, first of all, the Japanese troops in the area that was about to be bombed, these people quietly moved to the area that had just been bombed through the trenches, and looking at the tragic situation of the Japanese troops in those areas, many people were frightened and weak.

However, the third salvo was smashed into the place where they had been, and on the surface it didn't look much different from here, the only difference was that most of the Japanese troops there ran here, so only a few slower Japanese soldiers suffered in the first round of shooting.

Although the Japanese army ran fast enough, this scene still caused a lot of shock to them.

Heavy artillery, what is this concept exactly? The Japanese army didn't even dare to think that among their infantry, even infantry guns were not standing weapons, only those old divisions and regiments were barely equipped with a small number of infantry guns, and the 36th division was formed later, and at present it has not even been able to achieve a single rifle.

Yes, because of the blockade of the Chinese Empire, the refusal of the European powers to give them too many resources, the defeat in Korea, and the use of a lot of resources for the navy, etc., the development of the Japanese army was a little slower than in history.

In addition, because of the successive defeats in overseas wars, the vitality of the Japanese Army was greatly damaged, and the aggressiveness of the Chinese Empire, the Japanese side had to step up the expansion of the army, and at the same time cut the budget of the navy, hoping to quickly replenish the strength of the Japanese army.

However, the Japanese government did its best to produce a batch of weapons and equipment in a short period of time, and gave priority to the six divisions deployed in Taiwan, as well as those land forces deployed in Kyushu.

The main task of the army remaining in Japan is to train, and then slowly wait for the equipment, if everything can go according to plan, the army has just been trained, and the weapons will almost be able to keep up.

But who the hell knows that the Chinese Empire did not land on Kyushu Island, but chose to land in Hokkaido, one south and one north, worlds apart.

The equipment deployment of the 36th Division was not good, but it was not the worst, their weapons and equipment rate was only half, but when they set out from Hirosaki, they received a lot of equipment from other divisions along the way, and they were barely equipped with rifles.

For a unit where even rifles are a problem, you talk to him about heavy artillery?

Dodging the heavy artillery attack, before the Japanese could breathe a sigh of relief, the shells of the 75mm infantry guns fell down again. The unlucky Japanese soldiers were blown away by a few people in an instant, but fortunately, there were only two infantry guns, and even the Japanese soldiers who lost their anti-artillery holes did not cause too many casualties.

But just hiding in the trenches and passively waiting for the infantry artillery to bombard, even if they can't cause too many casualties at one time, they can't survive for a long time, and the eyes of the surviving Japanese soldiers began to have a confused expression, what kind of battle is this? Is this a war?

Huang Jianbin was very satisfied with the half-hour bombardment, and if there was no help from the heavy artillery battalion, he didn't know when the bombardment would have had such an effect with their 75 infantry guns.

"Tsk, in the end, it's a heavy artillery battalion, and the effect is different." Huang Jianbin said with great satisfaction that the bombardment of the heavy artillery battalion continued, and in half an hour, they fought a total of 10 rounds of attacks, an average of one round every three minutes, and bombed a total of four kilometers of defensive line.

As for the effect, it looks pretty good on the surface, but in fact it takes time to verify, but those 75 infantry guns are not vegetarians, their rate of fire is more terrifying than that of heavy artillery, almost every minute two shells will fall on a 400-meter-long defensive line, even if the Japanese army dodged the attack of heavy artillery, but hiding in the trench that lost its defensive ability, it could not escape the attack of infantry artillery.

This feeling is really cool, it's very addictive, you don't even have to go out with a single soldier, you can solve a large number of enemies by throwing a thousand shells, who doesn't want to fight such a war? It's a pity that the navy's transportation capacity is limited, otherwise it would have been directly transferred to an artillery division (the artillery only kept 155 and 105 caliber heavy guns, and 75 guns were sent to the battalion-level troops as support firepower), and the battle could be resolved in two hours, ensuring that more than half of the casualties of the small Japanese were killed.

"Order the 357th Regiment and the 358th Regiment to attack from the gap, then attack laterally, and the rest of the troops to attack head-on, destroying the enemy as much as possible. All departments should have a good grasp of proportions and not go too far. Huang Jianbin ordered.

If you want to turn Hakodate into a meat grinder on the Hokkaido battlefield, the battle must not end too quickly, nor can it be fought too fiercely, what if the Japanese are frightened and they dare not come?

A large number of troops of the 36th Division were in the trenches, and the artillery bombarded the infantry for a while, and the infantry fought for a while before retreating, such a tactic seemed to be child's play, and even risked the lives of soldiers to make some decisions that seemed meaningless.

But in fact, this is to give the Japanese confidence to resist, the strength of the Chinese Empire has long exceeded the imagination of the Japanese, and the Japanese also know that they are definitely not the opponent of the same number of Imperial Chinese Army, so what should they do to retreat in an advantageous situation so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army?

Looking at the current situation, the only reason for the lack of ammunition can the Japanese be even more able to confuse the eyes of the Japanese.

Japan needs to cross the sea, and the Chinese also have to cross the sea, and the distance is farther than the Japanese, so theoretically, the Chinese should have less ammunition than the Japanese.

As the order was issued, with the 357th Regiment as the spearhead, they rushed towards the four-kilometer defense line that had been bombed into ruins, followed by the 358th Regiment, and the strength of the two regiments echoed one after the other. The rest of the troops rushed towards the frontal position, and the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches also began to react at this time, crawling out of the trenches one after another, and entering the positions to defend the battle.

Although the heavy artillery at this time has suspended the salvo fire, they have locked the target on the Japanese fire point with a single artillery unit, but wherever the machine gun can be seen, a heavy artillery shell or 75 shell will be smashed over.

If you are lucky, you will be able to kill the opponent with one shot, and if you are unlucky, you can only deviate from the target and continue to increase the casualties of the infantry. But mortars also played an important role at this time, mortars are far more capable of clearing machine gun fire points than any kind of artillery, especially when there are infantry in front of them to explore the way, they can move the gun position forward to a distance of five or six hundred meters, and the well-trained mortar operators are even more handy, basically able to kill a fire point with three shells, and a good feel can solve the problem with one shell.

Those defensive lines that have not yet had time to be visited by heavy artillery, the resistance intensity at this time is the greatest, but in terms of the intensity of firepower, it is far from being comparable to the Chinese Empire, plus heavy artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and three kinds of artillery are constantly attacking, which makes the Japanese never be able to let go of their hands and feet to carry out defensive operations.

And that unseemly four-kilometer defensive line that was bombed, basically did not encounter any decent resistance, only scattered Japanese troops were still resisting, but those resistances could not stop the charge of the 357th Regiment at all, without any heavy firepower, relying only on the rifle in hand, and the four-kilometer length of less than 1,000 people on the defensive line, how could it withstand the charge of more than 3,000 people?

The 357th Regiment quickly broke through the defensive line, but they did not rush to attack on both sides, but waited for the 358th Regiment behind to catch up, and then attacked one to the left and the other to the right.

Originally, the Japanese army, which was still able to concentrate on defending the enemy army in front of it, suddenly had to face a two-sided attack, if it was just a disadvantage in the terrain, it would be counted, but the damn shotguns, automatic rifles, grenades and other trench weapons were smashed indiscriminately, and the Japanese army was instantly dizzy, and they didn't know how to resist at all.
