"Nani? Flying Thunder Cannon? What kind of weapon is this? Isamu Yokoyama was even more unheard of this, and looked at his chief of staff in confusion.

Nakakurume said: "The flying thunder cannon is a kind of earth cannon modified by the soil eight roads themselves, the caliber is very large, at least more than two hundred millimeters, and the explosive package is fired, the power is very amazing, and the 5th Division and other departments have suffered the loss of this kind of artillery before!" The humiliation was also the relevant information that I had accidentally seen in the operational materials forwarded to us by the Front Command. ”

"An earthen cannon that fires explosives?" Isamu Yokoyama still couldn't understand how an earthen cannon that fired explosives packs could have such great power, and in one shelling, he killed hundreds of his attacking troops.

"Yes, it is the earthen cannon that fires the explosive pack, and it also has a common name, called the conscienceless cannon, because the explosive bag fired by this cannon contains all kinds of iron nails, steel balls, iron sheets and other things, which greatly increases its power and lethality.

Moreover, an explosive package weighs at least a dozen kilograms, and when it explodes, it is extremely powerful, so it is called a conscienceless cannon.

Although it is a joke, it is also very practical. Nakakurume nodded.

"Baga, order the artillery unit to immediately carry out artillery bombardment on the positions of the people of China and destroy their unconscionable artillery! Clear the way for the attacking troops! Yokoyama was furious when he heard this, he didn't care how notorious this flying thunder cannon was, and now caused so many casualties to his attacking troops.

Then find a way to destroy them.

Of course, Isamu Yokoyama couldn't have imagined that Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the 5th Division, also thought so, but in the end, he ended up in a fiasco.

With the initial experience, when Qiao Youhua's attack was just repulsed, he ordered Liu Yidao to order the officers and soldiers of the first regiment to immediately pull the flying thunder artillery from the artillery position outside the trench into the trench.

Although the caliber of the flying thunder cannon is too large, it is impossible to hide in the trenches in the anti-artillery holes, cat ear holes and other fortifications, but it is not flesh and blood after all, as long as it is not directly hit by the shells, it will not suffer much damage.

Pulled into the trench, the top sky was hit by stray bullets, and the power of the shrapnel fired by the devil artillery, which was generally no more than 75mm, could penetrate the iron body of the flying thunder cannon after the explosion, or whether it could penetrate the iron body of the flying thunder cannon.

Sure enough, the devil's shelling came as scheduled, although it seemed that the position of the dragon's tooth group was bombarded again, and the momentum was not small, but it could not even destroy a flying thunder cannon, and most of the soldiers hid in the cat's ear hole, and they were not injured at all.

The shelling of the devils again failed, and dozens of shells were wasted in vain.

As a matter of fact, the main reason why the devils, who have an absolute superiority in troops, have been unable to capture the defense line of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment for a long time is that the artillery bombardment they have been relying on has repeatedly failed to work and cannot effectively destroy the light and heavy firepower points on the Dragon's Tooth Regiment's position.

In this way, the infantry charge will be hit with the most firepower, which is why it has repeatedly lost.

Artillery, in the offensive drill of the devil's army, occupies a pivotal position, from small grenadiers to large heavy howitzers, all of which are closely related to the devil's offensive tactics.

The devil's most classic army offensive tactic is to coordinate with infantry and artillery, often when attacking, the devil will first send a small force at the squad level, at most a squadron, to launch a tentative attack on the enemy's position.

Luring the defenders to open fire, the devil's artillery observer marked the enemy's exposed fire point and the target position, and then handed it over to the artillery unit to carry out accurate artillery strikes.

Destroying the enemy's fire support, and then sending the main infantry to charge in a big way, plus the grenadiers followed by the devil when charging, can also provide accurate small artillery bombardment in time, and the defenders' light and heavy machine gun fire will often be greatly suppressed and heavily damaged.

Thus unable to prevent the devil from breaking through the defense line, once the devil is close, the bayonet can not fight, the position of the defense line, a little collapse, a hair to move the whole body, forming a chain reaction, soon the whole collapse.

Of course, there are two most basic prerequisites in this: first, the Japanese army at this moment has indeed good bayonet fighting skills, and their marksmanship is generally very accurate; second, their artillery and grenadier skills are also very good, and they can fight thieves accurately.

The above tactic is the one that the devils train and practice the most on weekdays, and it is also the one that is used the most in actual combat, and the one with the highest harvest.

Of course, the devil's tactics of shelling through the artillery that has not changed for 10,000 years, the infantry rushing, and the infantry rushing after the artillery and then bombarding, once they encounter a unit with stronger firepower and equipment than them, or a unit with a targeted troop establishment and weaponry, it will not be so bright.

Today's Dragon's Tooth Column is the best example of this.

After the devil's shelling, Isamu Yokoyama once again ordered his officers to organize a force of 3,000 men to attack the position of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment again.

At this time, the smoke of gunpowder on a position had not completely dissipated, and in the gap between the devil's artillery bombardment and the attack, the soldiers were busy helping the gunners, and carried the flying thunder cannon out of the trench again and placed it on their original gun positions.

The structure of the flying thunder cannon was very simple, and it was very simple to place, so it didn't take much to make the fifty flying thunder cannons ready to fire again.

Therefore, the devil's charge this time was without exception, and they were once again hit hard by the destruction of their nature, and they returned with heavy casualties.

When Isamu Yokoyama received the reward, he couldn't believe it, and in a fit of rage, he scolded the commander of the artillery unit, and then ordered them to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment of the position of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment for more than half an hour.

As soon as the shelling ended, the troops were again organized to launch an attack, but this attack ended in failure, and the main reason was that it was bombarded by unconscionable artillery.

Three times were massively killed and wounded by flying thunder artillery, and in just a few hours, the casualties of the 1st Division and the 26th Division exceeded 2,000 people, plus more than 5,000 people in the puppet army.

This kind of severe casualties almost made Yokoyama Yong completely crazy, and the old devil was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

In addition to being angry, he angrily scolded Qiao Youhua for being too cunning and shameless! How can you bully people so cunningly.

When three successive attacks failed, with heavy casualties, and his own artillery could not eliminate the enemy's thunder artillery bombardment, Yokoyama did not dare to blindly invest his troops to continue the attack.

He had no choice but to obey the chief of staff, Nakakurume, who temporarily stopped the offensive and sent a telegram to the front headquarters in Beiping requesting air force fighters to provide air fire support.

It's just that what they don't know is that this batch of flying thunder cannons of the Dragon's Tooth Column, because they were made in a hurry, the workmanship is not very good, and they can only be used three times, so they can't be used again.

In vain, it is a waste of precious offensive time for them.
