When Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Tatsuya heard the news, they all showed excitement, and Seishiro Itagaki took the lead in saying: "Yo Xi, this is really good news, the heavy artillery wing is equipped with 150mm large-caliber heavy artillery, with this batch of heavy artillery, we can easily destroy the fortifications of the Shina, and the probability of winning this battle has greatly increased." ”

Ryosuke Tatani also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Itagaki-kun, do you think we should go out to greet you to show respect for the heavy artillery unit?" As far as I know, the heavy artillery units are all strategic forces of the empire, and those who can hold important positions in them are the pillars of the empire, although the military rank is not as high as ours, but we can't slack off! ”

What Ryosuke Tatani said is true: Since Japan is an island country with scarce resources, and most of its strategic resources are inclined to the navy, priority is given to supplying the navy, so the army's heavy artillery units with a caliber of more than 150 mm are indeed one of the most important strategic forces of the Japanese army.

They are even directly under the command of the War Department of the Japanese base camp, and only in wartime are they transferred to the operational sequences of the major front armies as needed, and the headquarters of the various armies are assigned to fight in various places according to the needs of the campaign.

Because each 150mm heavy gun weighs tens of thousands of catties, so its road and transportation requirements are quite high, generally by rail transportation, although it is barely possible to use tractor trucks, but China's road conditions at the moment is a big problem.

Bridges on large rivers such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River simply cannot bear their huge weight, and generally have to be transported by sea by naval ships, which can be described as extremely undesirable.

The reason why he was able to be sent to assist the 5th Division in fighting with the 10th Division this time was mostly because Shimen was connected to the Zhengtai Railway and the Pinghan Railway, and there was no need to cross the Yellow River.

Therefore, those who can serve in this kind of strategic force are either real talents or have backers with a very good background, so the long-established Japanese generals like Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Tsugatani do not dare to despise them.

The two hit it off, and immediately took two major generals Takagi Duandjiro, Tahato Eijiro and a large group of Osa and Nakasa, and the officers of Nakasa suspended the banquet and walked towards the station outside the city by car.

At the same time, Qiao Youhua and Liu Xiaohai and other ten elite veterans also quietly came to the vicinity of Shimen Railway Station, and the reason why they came straight to the train station was because the loud and piercing train whistle just now attracted Qiao Youhua's attention.

Hiding in the grass not far from the station, Qiao Youhua and Liu Xiaohai looked at the brightly lit train station, Liu Xiaohai said suspiciously: "Leader, it's all night, why is the devil's station still so lively?" And why does this train look so long and tall? And it's all flatbed, but it's covered with canvas, which looks weird! ”

Qiao Youhua held his telescope with night vision function and observed for a while, and muttered: "I estimate that the devil's train should be carrying artillery, or tank and combat vehicles. ”

"Huh? So many artillery pieces and Iron King VIII, all used against us? As soon as Liu Xiaohai's words fell, Qiao Youhua pressed him down, bowed his head and said nothing, at this time, Liu Xiaohai realized that a team of devil patrols walked by not far from them, and they could clearly hear the untidy footsteps of the devil soldiers.

After the devil patrol walked away, Qiao Youhua lowered his voice and said: "Be careful, this is already within the absolute sphere of influence of the devil, and if we are not careful, we will expose our whereabouts and be besieged!" ”

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said in a low voice: "Regiment commander, there are so many tanks or artillery devils, should we think of a way to destroy it?" If this is used to attack us, how many comrades will have to die for it! ”

"Not today, so many trains, such a large amount of equipment, just a few of us carry grenades, it can't be destroyed at all, and there are a lot of devils in this area, and the defense is very tight, even if you carry enough explosives bags, you won't have a chance to place them." Qiao Youhua said with a frown.

It would be nice if there was a batch of rocket artillery, and a direct round of coverage could reimburse all this batch of Japanese heavy equipment and turn it into scrap metal, but if your own troops really developed to that point, it would be time for the counteroffensive to regain lost territory.

"So what do we do?" Liu Xiaohai said with some disappointment.

"You guys are hiding here first, don't move without my order, I'll go to the station to see the situation." After Qiao Youhua finished instructing, he took his Type 95 assault rifle, rolled on the spot and ran forward, and disappeared from Liu Xiaohai's sight in three or two clicks.

Qiao Youhua was as light as a swallow and as sharp as an ape, evading the layers of blockades and patrol guards of the devils, came to a flatbed truck, and quietly opened the corner of the canvas to take a look, Qiao Youhua found that these big guys turned out to be the devil's heavy artillery, and the tall thing was the cannon chamber.

After a visual inspection, Qiao Youhua couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, obediently, this is at least a 150mm caliber heavy artillery, the little devil is just willing to spend his blood, if this battle is won, this batch of heavy artillery must be captured no matter what, not to be used as mobile strategic firepower, but it is still very useful to stay in Feiyunling and Luquan as garrison strategic firepower.

With such a large-caliber heavy artillery, if the enemy's formation is too dense, it is possible to directly kill his team, because its shells weigh at least a dozen catties, and the explosion killing range is several times that of 60mm mortars and 70mm infantry guns.

It is the absolute weapon of destruction on the battlefield in China today, and none of the ground fortifications that his subordinates have worked so hard to build can withstand such a frontal blow from artillery.

It seems that we still have to find a way to kill the devil's heavy artillery, otherwise the ground fortifications of Erdaogouzi and Magou Town may not be able to hold it for a day, after all, the heavy artillery is different from the devil's heavy bomb bombing, and its accuracy is countless times higher than that of aircraft bombs under the guidance of forward observers.

Because at this time, the planes equipped by the Japanese did not have high-tech electronic equipment such as infrared locking, and the air raids and bombings were basically large-scale ultra-low-altitude bombing.

At this moment, two pillars of light suddenly shone from the side of Shimen City, and Qiao Youhua hurriedly leaned over and hidden.

Soon, he found that several Japanese armored vehicles, escorted by some side three-wheeled motorcycles, had driven into the station, followed by a large number of devil infantry.

Qiao Youhua quickly moved forward from the flatbed train, and soon came to a place not far from the only passenger car, and at this time, several devil officers also walked out of the passenger car.

At the same time, there were also devil officers on the two armored vehicles that drove out of Shimen City one after another, and Qiao Youhua's heart was beating wildly with the help of night vision binoculars!
