"Report! The commander of the artillery brigade of the 5th Army came to report! Liu Hai stood straight in front of Zhang Zizhong. Zhang Zizhong and Liu Hai are no strangers, as early as the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the two worked together. "Brigadier Liu, you came just in time, we are talking about you!" Zhang Zizhong pulled his bangs and said: "This time, the main task of our 33rd Group Army is to defend both sides of the Han River, and this defensive attack must be supported by a large number of heavy artillery firepower. "General Zhang values it!" Liu Hai said modestly. "This time our plan is to have a forced decisive battle with the Japanese army, use forty-seven divisions to encircle and annihilate the third division of the Japanese army, use the Hanshui defense to consume it, and then lure the enemy to encircle and annihilate it deeply!" Zhang Zizhong pointed to the map and said. Liu Hai looked at the map, and from the arrows and markings on the map, he probably understood the battle plan!" What are the tasks of our artillery brigades? Bangs asked. Use your artillery to cooperate with your troops on both sides of the Han River to give heavy blows, then retreat to Shuanggou Town, and encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division! Zhang Zizhong said. Be! Liu Hai looked at the map and thought for a while, and told Zhang Zizhong about his combat concept!

"General Zhang, my artillery regiment has two more 122 artillery regiments and one 150 artillery regiment, I will put the 122 artillery regiment on the south bank and the heavy artillery regiment on the north bank, but I hope that the sappers can erect a pontoon bridge in advance to facilitate the retreat of the artillery regiment! The reason for this is that the 122nd Artillery Regiment has good shooting accuracy, and the regiment commander's ghost artillery is particularly suitable for attacking within visual range, if he is on the south bank, he will definitely make small Japan suffer a good loss, the heavy artillery regiment has a long shooting distance and great power, but the weight of the gun is not small, if it is placed on the south bank, it is likely to be too late to retreat, so my idea is that once the Japanese army breaks through the defense on the south bank, the heavy artillery regiment will immediately withdraw to Shuanggou Town, and the 122nd Artillery Regiment will arrive later, and it can also fight the Japanese troops trailing along the way! Bangs said. Good! I'm not very proficient in artillery command, so let's arrange it according to what your Brigadier Liu said! Zhang Zizhong said. Good! Then I'll go and observe and arrange artillery positions! "Bangs are going to leave after speaking." Wait a minute, Brigade Commander Liu, this time we are facing the entire 11th Army of the Japanese army, the pressure is very high, whether we can successfully encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division is still a problem, in addition, the peripheral forces are not very strong, and the operational prospects are not very clear, I hope that your heavy artillery brigade can withdraw from the theater of operations when it is dangerous, after all, you are the essence of Chinese artillery, in case of loss, it is difficult to say! Zhang Zizhong looked at the bangs meaningfully. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hai knew what Zhang Zizhong meant, he had to preserve his strength, otherwise the chairman would not be able to afford it! "I understand!" Bangs said.

"Brigadier Commander, what is our mission?" Seeing that bangs were back, Ghost Cannon hurriedly pounced on him and asked. "The mission of your regiment is to go to the south bank of the Han River, resolutely block the attack of the Japanese army, cooperate with the 55th Army on the south bank, and try to kill and wound the Japanese army as much as possible!" Bangs said. "Understood!" Ghost Cannon said. "Fat Wu!" Bangs shouted. "Yes!" Wu Fatzi shouted. "Your artillery regiment is deployed on the north bank, and cooperate with the ghost artillery to strike at the Japanese army according to the enemy's situation!" Bangs said. "Understood!" Wu Fat Man roared! "Liu Xiaoshan!" Bangs continued to shout. "What is my mission?" Liu Xiaoshan came over and said. "Your task is to enter the north bank, but not to participate in the battle, to resolutely block the Japanese when the 55th Army is retreating, and to buy time for the artillery regiment to retreat!" Bangs said. "Understood!" Liu Xiaoshan said. "Good! That's all for the task, separate contacts and preparations, choose positions, arrange firepower, and the Japanese army may attack at any time! Bangs said.

At this time, Kazuichiro Sonobe, the new commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, was also arranging his own attack plan! "Gentlemen! In the Battle of Kunlun Pass some time ago, our Fifth Division suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese Army has already moved all its elites westward, and this time our Eleventh Army is going to take advantage of the weakness to enter and launch an attack on the main force of the Fifth Theater of Operations in China, striving to eliminate or inflict heavy losses on it, and completely eliminate the military strength of the Chinese Army near Yichang, understand? Kazuichiro Sonobe shouted. Hayi! The Japanese generals shouted. Who wants to be responsible for attacking the Hanshui region! "Kazuichiro Sonobe looks at his men!" Hayi! The commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Shin, stood up and shouted, "We, the 3rd Division, are willing to be responsible for attacking Hanshui!" "To the west!" Kazuichiro Sonobe likes this Fujita Jin very much, this person fought very bravely, from a graduated non-commissioned officer step by step to the current position of a lieutenant general, commanding the third division, a division regiment, has been fighting in China, and has been fighting in China, and has defeated one of the elite Hu Zongnan in the Battle of Wuhan! "Good! General Susumu Fujita attacks! "Kazuichiro Sonobe patted Fujita on the shoulder!" Hayi! I will never fail to live up to the commander's expectations! Fujita said confidently. One more thing, my nephew Sonobe Akeyama has been assigned to the Eleventh Army, I would like to ask you to take him to the battlefield for training, only a strong force can train him into a true imperial warrior! Kazuichiro Sonobe said. Yes, it is my pleasure, Your Excellency! ”

"I'm the commander of the artillery regiment that supports you, and my name is Ghost Cannon! I hope that the division commander can call a few people to observe and choose a position for me! The ghost cannon said to the commander of the 55th Division in front of him. It's great that you're finally here! "This division commander looked at the ghost cannon very happily, and held his hand tightly, not enthusiastic!" With your artillery support, we're better off! The division commander said happily: "My division has not been so awesome with a regiment of artillery!" I'll ask two staff officers to accompany you! "Yes!" Ghost Cannon said. "Ghost Leader!" A staff officer said. "Ghost Leader? You're the hell! My surname is Zhao! Ghost Cannon said. Oh, I'm sorry, I have a place to choose an artillery position, there is a ravine not far from Hanshui, it is said to be a ravine, but it is actually not deep, only a few meters high, it should not hinder the artillery firing range, you go and see! The staff officer asked, "What caliber are your guns?" "One-two-two!" Ghost Cannon said. "Ghost, Commander Zhao, I have a request, can you let me be your artillery observer, I am a graduate of the Huangpu Artillery Department!" I had to mix up a staff officer, can you let me do it for a while this time! The staff officer asked. It's true? Ghost Cannon asked with some surprise.

"My observer hand died in Kunlun Pass, and I am worried that I don't have an observer hand, if you really do it, then it's no problem, our brigade commander and committee chairman are familiar with each other, I'll let him transfer you over!" The ghost cannon is not ashamed! "Great! Ghost Leader! "Say it again, Lao Tzu's surname is Zhao!" The ghost cannon roared. "Okay, good, Captain Zhao!" The staff officer said, "My surname is Mu, my name is Mu Zhennan, please discipline the chief!" "Good! A communications squad is yours, yo you come to report on the Japanese attack in detail! The ghost cannon said, "But the squad leader of this communication squad is me!" Ghost Cannon said. Got it! The staff officer said. When you get to the sir, you see that there it is! Mu Zhennan pointed to a ravine and said. It's also a fucking ditch! The ghost cannon looked at it and said, "But the place is not bad, very good!" I'm calling it artillery here! "Good! Then I'll go and talk to the division commander, this is called you as an artillery observer! The staff officer said excitedly. Well! "Ghost Cannon didn't think much about it, thinking that as long as this guy can be a good observer, he will be fine! But the true identity of this Staff Officer Mu has laid out a direction to change the fate of the ghost cannon, Wu Fatzi and Bangs in the future!

"Sonobe-kun! I am very honored to have you in my division! But you are only a lieutenant now, I will not let you stay in the command, you must go to the front line to prove your worth, because my division is the first division of the empire, and no darlings are allowed, if you don't want to, then please go back to the headquarters to your uncle and become a staff officer! Fujita Susumu said unceremoniously to Sonobe Akiyama. Hayi! Even if you don't say it, I will ask for this, I am an honor student in the artillery department of the Imperial Army University, I don't need to stay in the command, but to prove my worth on the battlefield, I have only one request, hand over your artillery brigade to me, I will never let you down! "To the West! My artillery captain died in the battle of Xinyang, there is no suitable candidate, I will appoint you as the acting captain of the artillery brigade now, if you can prove your value this time, then you will be the captain of the artillery brigade directly under my third division! Fujita said. Hayi! Amineyama said. Report! Division Commander! This is the latest enemy briefing! "A staff officer handed over the information to Susumu Fujita." Nani?" Fujita Jin said: "This time it's the 33rd Group Army of the Shina Army!" That's great! This is a strong force of China, a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, and this time my 3rd Division will completely destroy it! Fujita said. Yes! Your Excellency, Division Commander, I will fully cooperate with you to achieve your operational goals! I'm going to the artillery brigade! Akiyama said.

"Report! The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army has already moved towards our troops, so it is better to launch an attack on our army! A staff officer said. Good! Inform the 55th Division to defend with all its might, disperse the arrangement, and block the attack in sections, not only to kill the enemy, but also to preserve their own strength! Zhang Zizhong said. Commander, then I'll go back to my command post, and my artillery will fully cooperate with you to strike at the 3rd Division! Bangs said. Good! As long as our 33rd Group Army shares the same hatred for the enemy, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage and even destroy the 3rd Division! Zhang Zizhong said confidently.
