Perhaps knowing that the war would start tomorrow and that the officers and men of the 11th Division had a day's rest, they also fell asleep early to rest. www.biquge.info Although they were also worried about whether the Eighth Route Army would attack at night, they also arranged vigilant troops in their camp.

The temporary barracks built after arriving here undoubtedly brought a lot of security to the people living in the camp. In addition, the cavalry patrols deployed on the periphery can also ensure the safety around the camp.

At least in the eyes of many little devils, their patrol and alert troops have been placed three kilometers away from the camp. Once the troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared, these troops could also shoot to warn the defenders of the camp.

As long as it is discovered that the Eighth Route Army is carrying out a night attack, then these troops resting in the camp can also assemble and prepare for battle in the shortest possible time. At least in the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, the Eighth Route Army dared to attack the barracks at night, and it would only ask for hardship.

But no one expected that the Eighth Route Army did not send ground troops to carry out night attacks. The artillery brigade, which had already touched the 10-kilometer range of the Japanese camp, began to enter the preset artillery positions that had been found before, and began to drag the artillery into the gun position.

When the artillery brigade began to erect artillery, the tank units of the armored brigade also began to advance to the place where the Japanese army was camped. It's just that compared to the range of the artillery brigade, the armored brigade stopped farther.

The reason is also very simple, they are also worried that the sound of so many chariots moving will alarm the patrol and alert troops arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery. But at a distance of more than ten kilometers, unless the little devil is downwind, or he can't hear the roar of the engine.

As for when the armored brigade will advance again, it will depend on when the artillery brigade will launch the shelling. Once the artillery brigade launched an artillery bombardment, the rumbling sound of artillery could also mask the sound of the armored brigade assault to a certain extent.

In general, He Zhengdao also made careful arrangements for the artillery brigade and armored brigade to raid the 11th Division of the Japanese army tonight. Even at this time, the artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division was involved in the shelling tonight.

Even the artillery regiment of the 1st Division was equipped with 75 caliber guns. However, its range, which was also out of the sight of the patrols arranged by the Japanese army, could also pose a threat to the Japanese military camp at a long distance.

The two artillery fire clusters, one on the left and one on the right, took turns to bombard the Japanese army at night, which could also effectively contain the artillery fire of the Japanese divisions. Let them take care of the front, but not the back, and be in a situation of being passively beaten.

If the Japanese army dared to abandon the camp and run out for field battles, then He Zhengdao would let them know how stupid it was to run outside the barracks. After all, the assault capabilities of armored brigades should not be underestimated.

As the regiments of the artillery brigade entered the predetermined artillery positions, the artillery had also been erected, and the artillery brigade commander Zhu Definition also said calmly: "Send a report to the commander to inform our department that it is ready for artillery bombardment and can fire artillery at any time!" ”

'Yes, Brigadier! ’

As He Zhengdao's old subordinate, Zhu Definition is still only a brigade commander. But Zhu is also very proud, because his artillery brigade is also the only heavy artillery brigade in the Eighth Route Army, and it is equipped with large-caliber artillery.

Such an artillery brigade is unique in the whole army. This time he was ordered to fight, and Zhu Definition was naturally full of confidence. What's more, as the arsenal has imitated large-caliber artillery, he is also looking forward to the expansion of the artillery brigade again!

As the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, Zhu Definition has already seen several large-caliber artillery pieces trial-produced by the arsenal, and in Zhu Definition's view, those artillery pieces are the main combat artillery of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Both in terms of range and weight, it is superior to the artillery currently equipped with their artillery brigades. It's just that at the current level of production of artillery factories, it is believed that it will take a little time to form a heavy artillery brigade that produces its own artillery.

The purpose of the artillery brigade as an independent branch of the army this time was also to take the Japanese army by surprise. From the Japanese army's point of view, at present, the Eighth Route Army deployed more artillery to combat units at the division level, and did not have independent artillery units.

Only He Zhengdao captured a large number of heavy artillery from the Japanese army in the early stage and concentrated all of them for use. Before the shells were not copied, the number of times these heavy guns were used was also pitiful.

But at the moment, the artillery brigade is no longer limited by shells. In He Zhengdao's words, the more important role of the artillery brigade in participating in the war this time is to test the artillery shells produced by the Eighth Route Army itself to see how lethal they are on the battlefield.

Even in the era in which He Zhengdao lived, missiles were already the key development goals of all countries. But He Zhengdao is still clear that several types of artillery developed by the Chinese Army in the early years are also well-known among army artillery all over the world.

Even the same gun, because it is equipped with several different shells, has a very different range. As a result, many foreign armies have always been a little uncertain about the power of the Chinese army's artillery.

Some specially made shells, when fired with the same artillery, tend to increase the firing range by several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers. Such a situation is also very incredible in the eyes of foreign troops.

After receiving the telegram from the artillery brigade, He Zhengdao also said calmly: "Send a telegram to the electronic detachment, you can implement electronic jamming!" The artillery brigade and the artillery regiment of the 1st Division were ordered to carry out artillery bombardment of the Japanese camp.

Tell the artillery reconnaissance units of the special divisions to correct the shelling parameters for our artillery at any time. I hope that in the shortest possible time, the artillery units of the little devils will be destroyed and an opportunity will be created for the sortie of the armored brigades. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Ye Jianying, as the chief of staff, is also full of expectations for the general attack of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army tonight. In his opinion, this is the only time that the Eighth Route Army has assembled such a large number of elite troops.

Whether it is an artillery brigade or an armored brigade, they are all units registered at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Even in the past, these two units were the hearts and minds of He Zhengdao, and they also attached great importance to their training and equipment.

Now that these two troops have joined forces to attack for the first time, the combat effectiveness they have displayed has also made Ye Jian Ying look forward to it very much. After all, these two troops are He Zhengdao's model troops, as the seed troops for the formation of mechanical troops in the future!

Having received the combat order from He Zhengdao, the electronic jamming unit, which had already arrived near the Japanese barracks, quickly turned on the high-power radio station installed on the carriage. With the turn on of the radio, it became clear that the Japanese division could no longer get in touch with the outside world.

It's just that at such a late hour, the radio of the 11th Division will not contact other troops. As for the other troops, unless there is something special, they will not send a report to the 11th Division casually.

However, the intention of the electronic detachment to interfere was to prevent the 11th Division from sending reports to the outside world after the start of the war. This also means that when the rest of the troops want to contact the 11th Division tomorrow, it is believed that they will face the situation of losing contact again.

In addition, another intention of He Zhengdao to send electronic jamming troops is to ensure that the two troops fighting tonight will not be known by the Kwantung Army in advance. In doing so, the sense of mystery is maintained to the greatest extent.

At least He Zhengdao believes that when the Kwantung Army learns that the 11th Division was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army overnight, I believe they will also feel incredible. Before figuring out the reason, it is estimated that the Kwantung Army will not dare to act rashly.

In this way, He Zhengdao was able to transfer the armored brigade and artillery brigade to other battlefields to play their role again. Once these two troops suddenly appear, I believe it will be a big 'surprise' for the Japanese army who are not aware of it at all!

Looking at the battle order sent by He Zhengdao, Zhu Definition also shook the phone beside him and said, "Start shelling!" ”

The first to carry out the shelling were the four regiments, armed with 105 caliber field guns. This kind of field artillery captured by the Japanese army can also reach a maximum range of 10 kilometers. But in the case of night fighting, it is impossible to deploy it ten kilometers away.

But at present, the location of the artillery positions is within the best range of the artillery from the Japanese barracks. This means that as long as the shelling parameters provided by the special division are not wrong, the shells can accurately enter the barracks of the little devils.

As the artillery position where the fourth regiment was located opened fire first, after the sound of a huge artillery bombardment sounded, the entire artillery position was also enveloped in a puff of smoke. Looking at the shells flying out of the barrels, many officers and men were looking forward to these shells killing and injuring some little devils.

It's just that the artillerymen at the gun position didn't think much about it, and after cleaning the barrel, they stuffed another shell into the barrel. Not long after, after another round of tremors, a string of shells whistled out again.

The first shells to be discharged, like meteors in the night sky, flickered and fell into the Japanese camp from a distance. As the shells fell to the ground, the Japanese barracks were suddenly overwhelmed by a loud explosion.

Listening to the sound of explosions coming from the camp, the Japanese soldiers, who had just rested for a short time, completely exploded. In their opinion, the way the Eighth Route Army attacked with artillery fire was really a bit unexpected to them.

Naito Shoichi, who came out of the tent in a hurry, looked at the chaotic situation in the camp, and said with some shock: "Yaga, Yalu actually carried out long-range artillery bombardment on us?" Order the artillery brigade to launch a counterattack at once! ”

'Hey! General, the artillery brigade has entered the artillery position and is preparing for a counterattack. However, judging from the information we received just now, the artillery used by the Eighth Route should be the Type 91 field artillery we are equipped with. ’

'Na! Our artillery? Yaga! In any case, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army must be destroyed in the shortest possible time. Ordered the troops, enter the position and prepare to defend themselves, and the reserve troops all entered the anti-artillery tunnels to avoid artillery fire. ’

For Naito Shoichi's order, the herald was somewhat hesitant. Just looking at Shoichi Naito, who was escorted to the underground bunker by the guards, the herald didn't dare to say anything more.

The reason is that when they built the battalion, they didn't build too many anti-artillery tunnels. For this reason, it is almost impossible to place so many troops into bunkers to avoid artillery.

This also means that before their artillery units destroy the artillery fire of the Eighth Road, those troops who remain outside can only hope that God will open their eyes and no shells will fall on them. Otherwise, they will have to stay in the camp and wait for death! (To be continued.) )
