Chapter 100: Heavy Artillery Regiment

"Lu Biao, Lord Wang has an order, your heavy artillery regiment will go with me to support the battle of the third and fourth divisions this time, and this time you must fight back the breakthrough of the Japanese army. Your heavy artillery regiment is the most important fire cover, but you must work hard to beat the Japanese back. You are the most important fire support for the 3rd and 4th Divisions, so you must contribute seriously! Hu Wei said.

And the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, Lu Biao, immediately said: "Yes! ”

Lu Biao, the commander of this heavy artillery regiment, was Chen Liyan's deputy when he was in the artillery regiment. After Chen Liyan went to the Third Division as a division commander, he took over the post of commander of the artillery regiment. Wang Guorui next considered that the Japanese army would definitely send a large number of troops over, so his own firepower must also be stronger, so he immediately began to form a heavy artillery regiment. And this land mark was once again promoted like a rocket, from the commander of an ordinary artillery regiment to the commander of a heavy artillery regiment. The reason why he was chosen was because he had a very long experience in leading artillery, and he had always been Chen Liyan's deputy, which can be regarded as experienced. Moreover, his qualifications are also one of the first batch of regimental officers, so it is appropriate to be promoted now. And the status of this heavy artillery regiment is not the same, and the biggest difference from ordinary artillery regiments is that the caliber of the guns of this heavy artillery regiment is different.

While a regiment of other artillery regiments had thirty-six cannons, this heavy artillery regiment had only twenty-four. However, the caliber of the cannons of other artillery regiments was only 75 millimeters, but the caliber of the cannons of this heavy artillery regiment was 155 millimeters. This kind of cannon with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters is enough to cover an area the size of half a football field with artillery fire. This is simply very shocking, so this has become the most important fire support for Taiwan's anti-Japanese volunteers.

Other cannons weigh more than a ton at most, but this 155-millimeter heavy cannon weighs seven or eight tons. Even if the military dogs of these red police systems are extraordinary, they all need more than a dozen police dogs to be able to pull a cannon. It can be seen that the weight of this heavy artillery is heavy. However, compared to his effect, these weights are not unforgivable. So it's completely acceptable, even if he weighs heavily, he has to be equipped.

This kind of heavy artillery is an important weapon for support at the level of the group army, and can be used as a cover for the group army troops, as well as an important fire strike. Next, this heavy artillery regiment will face the bombardment of several artillery wings of the Japanese army. However, Wang Guorui is very confident in the victory of this heavy artillery regiment, after all, the caliber and range of both sides are different. In this era, firing range is axiom and caliber is justice, and with this large-caliber and high-range heavy artillery, the 75-millimeter caliber "small guns" of the Japanese artillery wing will inevitably wait to be blown up.

With this heavy artillery regiment, the firepower of the Japanese army was nothing at all. The Japanese army was starved of resources, and they did not have many artillery pieces of more than a hundred millimeters. It can be seen that their financial resources are tight. Even when the Japanese army arrived in World War II, those independent heavy artillery brigades composed of large-caliber heavy artillery were directly transferred to the central base camp of Japan, and ordinary subordinate troops were not qualified to use them directly. And even when Wang Guorui formed this heavy artillery regiment, he saw that a 155-mm caliber cannon of this heavy artillery regiment cost more than 20,000 yuan, which suddenly made Wang Guorui jump. With such a high number, twenty-four large-caliber heavy guns are enough to form a regular infantry division. A heavy artillery regiment is much more expensive than an infantry division. But Wang Guorui still chose to spend money to buy it, after all, he couldn't do without this kind of heavy artillery suppression. Artillery is the most important means of warfare in this era. If there is no artillery suppression, then the defensive firepower of your side will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it may not be able to withstand the enemy's charge.

And with the support of this heavy artillery regiment, it is completely possible for the infantry of a division to exert the strength of several divisions, because if this artillery suppresses the enemy, the enemy will inevitably suffer heavy losses and will not be able to counterattack. Such a powerful firepower. That in this day and age, not many enemies can afford it. A cannon can be used as little as dozens of people, or as many as hundreds of people, and such a fierce cannon is the important weapon of the country, and it can be used as a treasure of the town. So, now Wang Guorui has formed this heavy artillery regiment. Once it is used when it is needed, it can completely make the Japanese suffer a big loss.

"Lu Biao, this time I began to transfer you to support the Third and Fourth Divisions with Lord Wang. This time, our 1st and 2nd Divisions will not be able to leave, so we can transfer you to increase the firepower of the 3rd and 4th Divisions. The 1st and 2nd Divisions must prevent the Japanese army from attacking Tainan, and once Tainan is in danger, then we will offend Taiwan. Therefore, on the whole, only your heavy artillery regiment can be mobilized, then we also ask Lord Wang to give me your heavy artillery regiment, and only your firepower can help me to defeat the enemy's charge. Hu Wei said.

At present, the 1st and 2nd Divisions are not able to support the 3rd and 4th Divisions, because no division in this encirclement can leave their posts lightly. Because the 1st and 2nd Divisions were responsible for blocking the Japanese army's attack in the direction of Tainan, once the Japanese army attacked in the direction of Tainan, then I am afraid that the people of Tainan would be in danger in the future. Taiwan has now gathered all the people in Tainan, and there is absolutely no problem in Tainan, and if something goes wrong, I am afraid that Taiwan will also fall.

"Chief of Staff Hu, please rest assured, I will definitely make good use of these cannons and resolutely prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the positions of the Third and Fourth Divisions. If the Japanese break through the position, then you can cut off my head! Lu Biao said.

Hu Wei continued: "In the future, our artillery will inevitably increase, and in the future, our heavy artillery will not only be just a regiment, but even we will have to form an artillery division in the future." At that time, an artillery division will be able to have more than 50 heavy guns, and at that time, it will be able to rely on the heavy fire support of a group army, so artillery will still have a lot to do. In the future, it is even necessary to set up a headquarters specifically responsible for artillery, so that it can truly command all artillery, and this status is very lofty. When the time comes, we hope to have a man with experience in artillery, and who is also qualified enough, to be the chief of this artillery. ”

And Lu Biao's eyes lit up, obviously feeling that this future is still good. As long as it can continue to develop, there will be more and more artillery, and even if it can continue to expand, it will completely become the leader of artillery.

And Lu Biao was obviously moved by the bright prospects described by Hu Wei, because if the artillery can continue to expand, then he can't continue to do it. And artillery can foresee that it will inevitably be a very important branch of the army in the future, and even artillery can change the outcome of a war. And Lu Biao dreamed that he might be able to become an artillery commander in the future, after all, the status of artillery will become higher and higher in the future, and his own status will also rise. As long as we can continue to do it steadily in artillery, we will definitely not be worse than the vast majority of people in Taiwan's system in the future.

And Wang Guorui also took the initiative to take advantage of the benefits to attract this land mark, after all, even if the horses run, they must also let the horses graze. If we can't make people have a future of continuous improvement, we can't retain talents, let alone people's hearts. Only by letting everyone see that there can be a steady stream of progress, then this can make everyone have centripetal force. If you don't see the direction of progress, then you will definitely not be able to retain people. Once people reach a certain status, they have long gotten rid of the idea of fighting for the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, that is, they want to get a better future for development. If they can't see the future of development here in Wang Guorui, then they may also think about changing jobs. When the time comes, if the Manchu Qing extend an olive branch to them, then they will not have to run away? Everyone knows that Taiwan's anti-Japanese volunteers will inevitably be able to become a domestic force, so everyone wants to divide the cake as much as possible at this time. Japan is almost out of the woods in everyone's eyes, and it is important to get the benefits of this system at this time. And Lu Biao also wants to determine his role, as long as he firmly grasps the artillery system, then he will definitely get very huge benefits in the future.

"Soldiers, Lord Wang is looking at us! As long as we can get these cannons right, then we will definitely be able to get promoted and make a fortune together. When the time comes, as long as you can fight the Japanese invaders well, let those Japanese robbers die all, so that we can all be promoted and rich together, and have a wife and children. At that time, we will definitely be able to go back and a large group of people will be vying to give you a matchmaker. At that time, all the women are left to your choice, and you will be honored. So, be sure to work hard! Lu Biao also said loudly to the soldiers of the heavy artillery regiment.

Although Lu Biao's words are very cheesy, they are also very touching. At this time, there was no nationalist nationalism, that is, the wealth and beauty of Chiguoguo, who was able to impress the soldiers. Therefore, having enough wealth, enough honor, and enough excellent conditions can make soldiers be fooled into selling their lives. And now that everyone heard this, they seemed to have more strength, and immediately drove the dog to pull the cannon forward. (To be continued......)
