Inside the front headquarters of the 3rd Division. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lieutenant General Yoshimasa Oshima, the division commander, was listening to the report from the troops in front of him, and his heart was full of anger, but his expression of disbelief.

It's just the beginning of the war, and your own troops haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy, so they have lost most of their wings?

Yoshimasa Oshima even wanted to arrest the captain of the 18th Wing and ask him how this battle was fought?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the battle situation on the front line is very fierce, we must make changes, otherwise it will be difficult for the warriors of the empire to break through the opponent's defense." The commander of the Fifth Brigade, Yama Pengzhi, said with some twitches on his face.

He went to watch the battle on the front line in person, and he didn't blame the 18th Wing for fighting like this, which wing it was replaced with, I am afraid that it would be like this.

And even at this moment, there is still the rumbling of artillery on the front-line battlefield, and Shan Peng can't help but secretly pray in his heart, hoping that this time it is not his own brigade that is unlucky.

"Order the 3rd Cavalry Brigade to go around, and the 6th Brigade to take charge of covering, knock out the enemy's artillery for me, and avenge the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire." Yoshimasa Oshima commanded fiercely.

As a veteran of a hundred battles, although Yoshimasa Oshima couldn't believe it, the sound of artillery in the distance told him that all this was true.

And the cunning Shina people would have so many artillery, which was something that Oshima Yoshimasa did not expect, and similarly, Oshima Yoshimasa did not expect that the Shina people would concentrate all the artillery and use it.

The commander on the opposite side must be a madman, a complete lunatic. Because in these days, no commander would have concentrated all the artillery unless he was a madman.

Although this can provide more powerful artillery support for the troops, and can also bring the other side a very painful memory, but again, once the enemy sends a large number of cavalry to sneak attack, these artillery will not have any time to move.

In the face of the pursuing cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the artillery was not much higher than that of ordinary civilians.

"Hey! Your Excellency the Division Commander, we will definitely destroy the enemy's artillery units. The captain of the third cavalry brigade assured with a warlike expression on his face, and immediately went to concentrate his troops.

Originally, the 3rd Division came with their 3rd Artillery Brigade, but the 5th Division encountered stubborn resistance, and the 5th Division was even more defeated and could not defeat the enemy, and even the 5th Division had a faint feeling of being defeated.

Therefore, after receiving the report of the Fifth Division, the commander of the Second Army, Ao Baogong, urgently ordered the Third Division to speed up its march and attack Shengjing from the north as soon as possible to relieve the offensive pressure of the Fifth Division.

And the Japanese have long been able to get accurate information, the Han army only has two divisions in Shengjing, and the Japanese sent two divisions to attack Shengjing, which is already very face-saving for Wang Sirui.

And the troops who appeared in front of him at this moment seemed to have a division, but this did not surprise Oshima Yoshimasa, and even faintly excited.

Of course, Oshima Yoshimasa mistook the troops of this division that appeared in front of them for the 18th Division, which was urgently transferred from Jinzhou.

Although the Korean divisions were not very combative, the Japanese did not let them defeat the 19th and 22nd divisions. As long as the North Korean divisions hold them back, they don't let these two divisions have the energy to come over to support Shengjing.

As the reserve force of the Han army, although the 18th Division joining the battle group in Shengjing will bring them a certain degree of uncertainty, but in this way, the opponent's strength is equivalent to leaking all in front of the eyes of the Japanese army.

There is no ambush, then the rest, naturally, is only face-to-face hard fighting, the Japanese have never been afraid of hard fighting, and they also have absolute certainty of defeating the Han army head-on.

Although the Han army had an advantage in numbers, when the Japanese army fought against the Qing State, which time did it have an advantage in numbers?

"The army on the opposite side is most likely the enemy 18th Division stationed in Jinzhou, and according to our understanding, the 18th Division is not fully equipped with weapons, so it is normal for their artillery to appear here. The Chinese hoped to use artillery to delay our offensive, thus gaining precious time for the Eastern Front and for the defeat of the 5th Division.

However, the things that the people of China want to see are often the things that the Great Japanese Empire does not want to see, Yamana-kun, let your Fifth Brigade continue to attack and attract the attention of the enemy, they don't have much firepower, and when we destroy their artillery, then this 18th Division should also be defeated. "Yoshimasa Oshima is very shrewd and calculating, and it seems that everything is under control.

If Wang Sirui, or any division commander in the Han army, was here, he would definitely spit on Oshima Yoshimasa, you have a short knowledge, and you are so self-righteous if you guess wrong.

However, Oshima Yoshimasa obviously did not have the feeling that he had guessed wrong, and immediately afterward, Oshima Yoshimasa continued to order: "Once you get close to our range, don't save ammunition, kill the enemy as much as possible, and we will not leave us alive in this battle." ”

"Yo Xi, the division commander's trick is really clever, knocking out their artillery, which will make the enemy a little psychologically lost, and if you don't leave a living mouth, you can further stimulate them, which will lead to the beginning of the enemy's rout, once someone can't hold on and escape, then it will not be far from the escape of the entire division." Yamatochi began to pat Oshima Yoshimasa's sycophants.

"Your Excellency, Captain! We have bypassed the enemy's lines and found enemy artillery positions, they have a lot of positions, we can only see a few of them, but estimate no less than six positions, and the forces guarding there are about a brigade, just about five kilometers ahead. A cavalryman returned to the ranks and reported to the captain of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade.

"Yo Xi, it seems that the people of China really don't know how to write the word dead, so many artillery, and only one brigade of troops was arranged to defend. It seems that today must be the day of the meritorious service of our third cavalry brigade. The captain of the third cavalry brigade said with some pride, he felt that this battle did not seem to be difficult to fight, and the opponent was even tighter on the outside and looser on the inside, as long as his cavalry brigade came to charge, he could easily deal with this artillery position.

"Charge slowly two kilometers away." Immediately afterward, the captain continued to give orders.

Although the war horse moves faster, it is only corresponding, if you start charging at five kilometers, the vibration generated by these thousands of war horses will alarm the other party.

After running five kilometers at high speed, how much physical strength does the war horse have for them to fight? So, the cavalry on TV started charging from a long distance, which is complete nonsense.

The real cavalry first quietly moves to a position not far from the enemy, and then suddenly launches a charge, so that even if the enemy reacts, the distance is too short to organize an effective defense.

And how long does it take for a horse to run two kilometers? Even the slowest horses don't take more than five minutes, and the slightly faster ones probably need less than four minutes or so to rush through.

And the slow advance in front is actually for the purpose of charging up the war horses, and it is also for the soldiers to adjust the state of war, so that they can enter the combat state as soon as possible.

At the same time that the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry was self-righteously quietly approaching the artillery position, a figure in the shadows was also quietly retreating, and after making sure that it was completely out of the enemy's sight, the figure took out two flags, one black and one white, and waved them quickly in a direction in the distance.

Just as the flag soldier was about to wave it a second time, a flag in response came from the opposite side.

In this way, the flag soldiers used their own way to quickly transmit the information here to Duan Qirui. And from the first flag soldier to the time Duan Qirui received the information, it only took about two minutes.

"Hmph, since the little devil wants to die, then it would be better for him." Duan Qirui snorted coldly, it seems that the little devil really used his artillery as a soft persimmon?

Don't look at the scale of the artillery in Duan Qirui's hands? Although it is inferior to the three main divisions, and even inferior to the four newly formed divisions that have just been formed, Duan Qirui's artillery also has a strength of more than 10,000 people, of which there are nearly 1,000 main and deputy gunners, plus other miscellaneous ones, the real artillery is almost about 5,000 people.

So what do the rest of the people do? The answer is obvious, naturally, it is the reinforced guard regiment that protects the artillery. The regiment had 5,000 men and was trained according to the training program of the main division.

In order to effectively protect the artillery and prevent the enemy's cavalry or infantry from carrying out a sneak attack, the firepower of this reinforced guard regiment is the most powerful in the whole army, and it can be said that even if the three main divisions come to attack his artillery, they may not be able to take advantage.

Heavy machine guns alone were armed with nearly two hundred. Even when the army was expanded, when there were not enough heavy machine guns, and each battalion of the three main divisions had to transfer a heavy machine gun to the newly formed division, there was not a single heavy machine gun on the artillery side.

It is conceivable how much Wang Sirui attaches importance to artillery, and it is precisely because of the existence of this reinforced guard regiment that Duan Qirui dares to concentrate the artillery for use.

To put it mildly, even if the artillery is surrounded, they have the protection of this guard regiment and can support the arrival of reinforcements.

"Order, the first battalion of the guard regiment will go to the west to strengthen the defensive force, and the third battalion will be ready to support, this time Lao Tzu will let the little devil's cavalry come and go." Duan Qirui immediately issued an order.

The reinforced guard regiment consisted of five battalions plus one company, five battalions were responsible for protecting ten artillery companies, and the extra company was the guard unit of the artillery headquarters.

Each battalion had 1,000 soldiers, equipped with 40 heavy machine guns and 920 rifles, and two battalions of 80 heavy machine guns and nearly 2,000 rifles.

And the Third Cavalry Brigade, which was still fantasizing about killing the Han artillery cluster, did not know that death was waiting for them. (To be continued.) )
