Chapter 31 Advantages

The land of the Northeast is indeed very vast, even if it is a small force like Song Biao, even if he thinks that there is no strategic buffer space, he can still calmly lay down a line of defense in the rear, and will not be wiped out by the Japanese in one fell swoop.

On the first day of the Japanese offensive was like an armed march, and in one day it went forty miles. After engagement, the speed begins to decrease gradually. The closer they got to the core area of Song Biao's department, the greater the resistance they encountered. After the death of Daodao, the Japanese army was blocked in front of a makeshift field fortification, and it was difficult to advance again.

Kuroki Weizhen is a general who likes to be on the front line, and this time is no exception. He has been in the army all his life, and it can be said that most of his life has been spent in the army. Therefore, he was very experienced, and by his ears, he knew that this was definitely the shell of the 155 howitzer produced in Handan, just by the sound of explosions coming from a distance and the screeching sound of the shells flying through the air.

Even if they are five or six miles apart, even in the field fortifications, they can still feel the terrifying power of the "God of War". Kuroki's face became darker, even though his face remained dark. The Japanese army has also imported more than a dozen 155mm caliber howitzers from the northwest, and he naturally knows the performance of this cannon very well.

On the battlefield, a single 155 grenade can cover an area the size of half a football field. Within this range, not only will the exposed and unprotected soldiers be slaughtered, but even those who hide in rudimentary field fortifications may be killed or injured.

The terrifying explosions kept coming, and Kuroki stood inside the bunker and carefully counted the number of shellings outside. After a while, he noticed that the shelling on the opposite side was not intensive, and only one shell landed every twenty or thirty seconds. Of these, the explosion of that kind of 155 howitzer is even less.

There are about three or four cannons of 155mm caliber or more, and about ten cannons of inferior caliber, and after Kuroki Weizhen estimated such data, he thought: Fortunately, it is not difficult to deal with, if the other party does not hide more heavy weapons.

He didn't believe that at this point, Song Biao could still be so patient to keep a strategic reserve in his hands. Besides, he looked up and looked to the west, and even if he had a backhand, it would be useless. Under absolute power, small tricks are of little use.

Without his personal order, the brigade commander, wing commander, brigade commander, army commander, and other first-level officers in front had already led the Japanese army to continuously attack. The old Japanese Army can be called the pinnacle of infantry warfare in the world, and is known for having strong infantry tactical capabilities.

A Japanese male has already received complete military training when he is a student, and the military instructors stationed at the school often lead the students in field military training, such as forced march, crossing rivers in front of the enemy, crawling forward, disassembling guns, etc.

And every year, the sports day is actually a confrontation between the fourth and fifth grade students, first releasing smoke screens, and then dividing into several groups to blast barbed wire, charge, and stab training. Students undergo cold-resistant training, kendo, judo training every morning. In the afternoon, after school, he would work diligently to help in the homes of soldiers who had died or went on the expedition.

When a Japanese male is drafted into the army, he is concentrated in the barracks of the left-behind division for intensive training. Since basic training has been completed when I was a student, it is directly tactical training as soon as I enlist in the army, and there is no need for basic training.

In the decades since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's military service system has been continuously improved, creating a strong technical and tactical level of Japanese soldiers. With equal strength and equipment, they are not inferior to any army in this world. Even those supernatural and martial arts have corresponding restraint methods among the current Japanese army.

The Japanese were divided into small groups of soldiers and constantly infiltrated, trying to find out the weak points of the defenders. Skirmishes continued to occur on the front, and although they were not as loud as the last Jigong, the bloody cruelty did not diminish at all.

While there was a constant exchange of fire in front, the Japanese began to extend to the flanks by virtue of their superiority in strength. Breaking through the center and outflanking the two wings is the most commonly used trick in the art of war. As long as these two tricks are used well, you can basically mix up a famous general.

It's just that the actor will change, but there are only a few who can conjure flowers. It is not so easy to achieve either point of the central breakthrough and the flank outflanking. It not only requires generals to be calm and resolute, but also has high requirements for the technical and tactical level of soldiers and the quality of officers at the grassroots level.

Just like now, Song Biao has obviously discovered that the Japanese army is driven to extend to the two wings, and he has no choice but to stare at it dryly. When defending, he can still hold the line with a small number of troops. If he really fights in the wilderness, I'm afraid that in a few days, the army in his hands will disappear.

And the strongest weapons in his hands are those heavy howitzers. Without this kind of mass killing weapon in hand, it is very difficult to resist the attack of the Japanese army. However, these cannons are all big guys with a total weight of about 20 tons, and the speed of moving forward and moving on rotten land like the northeast cannot even be compared to the walking speed of people.

The Japanese army outflanking both flanks is only a danger on the surface, and those things that cannot be seen will make Song Biao feel even more tricky. The fog of war shrouded the land, and the number of entries he could find out would not exceed 30,000, of which more than 5,000 were bandits and beards who had been bribed by the Japanese.

In the information Chen Cheng gave him before, he said that the total strength of the Japanese army was more than 40,000. So the question is, where are the remaining 10,000 people?

He didn't know, and he couldn't know. Even if he can rush into the army and open the invincible, there are still things he can't do, some things we know, some things we don't know, but those things we can't do, just can't do.

In this era of no satellite surveillance, all generals will face such problems in war. It's possible for the enemy to hide in a dark corner, just wait for themselves to show their flaws, and then jump out to deliver the fatal blow.

Even if he knew that the enemy still had a backhand, he didn't have many ways to deal with it now. This is the sorrow of the side with few troops, even if you have infinite schemes, in the face of absolute violence, you can only be crushed. And he has been preparing for less than two years, while the Japanese have been preparing for expansion for almost forty years.

Both in the quality of officers and in the training of soldiers, the Japanese had an all-round advantage. (To be continued.) )
