Cao Sanlian was also hurrying up to eat.

But even if you eat, you don't stop.

While they were eating here, they brought over the 6 75 field guns that had just been captured.

The damage to the 6 75 field guns was relatively serious, and two of them even had their wheels damaged, and the militia of the 5th Division carried the guns to the positions of the artillery regiments.

The nearly 1-ton cannon can exhaust the militia enough.

More than 20 people can work together to lift a 75 field cannon.

However, the main structure of these 6 field guns is still intact.

At least the barrel is not bent, the bolt and locking device are not broken, and they can still be used.

With the addition of the 6 guns sent by Li Yunlong, the artillery regiment already has 12 75 field guns.

This is the standard equipment of the Japanese artillery, the 38 type 75mm caliber field howitzer, which can fire grenades, arson shells and chemical bombs, with a range of nearly eight kilometers.

The performance parameters are significantly stronger than those of the 41 75mm mountain gun.

Because the firing range of the 41 75mm caliber mountain gun is only 6 km.

The 70mm caliber 92 infantry gun is even more incomparable, only less than three kilometers.

However, the 92 infantry artillery also has the advantage that field artillery and mountain artillery cannot be compared, that is, it is light, only 200 kilograms, and it is also very convenient to disassemble, it only takes ten minutes to complete the decomposition, and the mules and horses can be transferred with a load.

Although the 41 75mm caliber mountain gun can also be disassembled, it can also be carried by mules and horses, but it takes longer and more mules and horses, a Type 92 infantry gun only needs one mule and horse, but a 41 75mm caliber mountain gun needs at least four mules and horses, and this does not count the mules and horses carrying shells.

In short, these types of artillery equipped by the devils have their own advantages and disadvantages.

At present, the artillery regiment of Cao Sanlian has 46 artillery pieces, including 2 105 caliber cannons, 2 105 caliber howitzers, 12 75 caliber field guns, and 2 75 caliber anti-aircraft guns.

There are also 70 caliber infantry guns and 22 defensive guns of 37 caliber combat vehicles.

With 46 guns of various calibers and types, it is already an artillery regiment in the true sense of the word.

Because an artillery wing of the Japanese army is usually only equipped with 36 75mm field guns or 75mm mountain guns.

The artillery regiment originally had 6 companies, 1 company was equipped with 4 105 guns and 2 anti-aircraft guns, 2 companies, 3 companies and 4 companies were equipped with 92 infantry guns, 5 companies were equipped with 6 75 field guns, and 6 companies were equipped with 6 37 anti-aircraft guns.

However, this is also temporary, and Cao Sanlian will definitely expand the artillery company by 7 companies when he turns back.

When Cao Sanlian came over with a rice tank, the 6th Company was wiping the 75 field artillery that had just been received.

The soldiers of the 6th Company are below the company elders, and they can be gentle when wiping the field artillery, just like wiping the body of a wife, but then again, these bachelors don't know what a wife is like.

"Lao Dan, how's it going?" Cao Sanlian asked while eating, "Is there any problem?" ”

The elder of the 6th Company shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with the main body, but you have to test shoot to be sure." ”

"Don't worry." Cao Sanlian flatly refused, "Although we have a lot of shells, we can't waste them." ”

Cao Sanlian is an old Red Army who is used to living a hard life, and when he was most impoverished in the past, 1 mortar was a treasure.

Although there are now more than 40 cannons and nearly 100 tons of shells, we must not waste them casually, and we must continue to display our arduous and simple style of diligence and thrift.

While the two were talking,

Wang Ye came over with a rice bowl.

"Yo, Xiao Wang, why are you here?"

Cao Sanlian immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

For Wang Ye, Cao Sanlian is really enthusiastic now.

In a word, with Wang Ye's wolf squadron as an eye, the artillery regiment can be strengthened.

Therefore, if you want to fight well in the future, you have to shoot the wolf squadron or Wang Ye's sycophants.

Wang Ye said: "Commander Cao, how is the situation of your artillery regiment?" Can the 6 guns just captured be used? ”

Cao Sanlian said: "Due to the suddenness of the attack, our army quickly broke into the devil's position, causing the devil's artillery to have no time to destroy their artillery, so the 6 75 field guns captured this time are the same as the 6 75 field guns captured by your independent regiment before, the main body is intact, only 2 are seriously damaged, but it does not affect the use." ”

"That's good." Wang Ye nodded and asked, "What about the failure rate of other artillery?" ”

"The failure rate of other artillery is zero." Cao Sanlian said, "Speaking of which, we must praise the devil artillery, their maintenance is really good, and every one of them is in good condition." ”

"That's good." Wang Ye nodded and said again.

"Head Cao, the next step may be a little more complicated than before."

Cao Sanlian handed the enamel rice jar to his guard, then took out his notebook and said, "You say." ”

Although he is the commander of the artillery regiment and a veteran artilleryman with more than ten years of experience in artillery operation, Cao Sanlian is humble like a primary school student in front of Wang Ye.

There is no other reason, it is because Wang Ye knows a lot.

Before he knew Wang Ye, Cao Sanlian was an experienced artilleryman.

All his experience was summed up in years of fighting.

But since he met Wang Ye, Cao Sanlian knew that there were so many ways for artillery.

For example, the principle of thumb distance measurement, such as the calculation of the angle of shooting, such as how to cross and so on.

Almost every time he communicates with Wang Ye, Cao Sanlian can learn a lot of knowledge, so he carries a notebook with him.

Wang Ye said: "The previous two times, the devil was defenseless and was caught off guard by our artillery, but now the little devil already knows our way." ”

"So imagine like the previous two times,"

"It's unlikely that a single round of shelling will blow up the devils."

"At least the devil's artillery won't concentrate all their artillery together."

"And the devil's infantry, I'm afraid it will no longer be crowded into a narrow area, but scattered and hidden in a larger area to evade our artillery fire."

In the previous two battles, the devil actually lost very unjustly.

Needless to say, the first ambush battle, the devil's artillery did not even have time to unload the field artillery from the truck, and the fighters of the independent regiment had already rushed to the road with bayonets.

By the time of the second battle, the devil's artillery had time to set up their cannons.

But in order to save time, the devil artillery directly put 6 guns in a row, and as a result, a wave of artillery fire came from the artillery fire called by the wolf warrior squadron.

Half of the artillery brigade lost its combat effectiveness without firing a single shot.

Then the devil's infantry attack position was washed by artillery fire again, and the four infantry squadrons gathered in a narrow area of less than 200 meters were blown up again.

So in the first two battles, the devil actually lost very unjustly.

But in the next battle, the devil will not make such a mistake again.

Next, the devil's artillery will no longer line up and wait for you to blow up, and the infantry will no longer be able to gather in a narrow area, waiting for the artillery of the Eighth Route Army to come and wash the ground.

Cao Sanlian's expression became solemn and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"What to do? Actually, it's easy to do. Wang Ye smiled and said, "This time, we'll play some advanced games for the little devils." ”

Cao San came to his senses for a while, and said, "Xiao Wang, what kind of advanced law? ”

Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Head Cao, have you heard of Xu Jin's barrage?" ”

"Xu Jin barrage?" Cao Sanlian had a surprised expression on his face.

Then he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Wang Ye suddenly had a black line in his head.

You haven't heard of Xu Jin's barrage, why do you have this expression?

Lao Tzu thought you had heard of it, and Lao Tzu was happy in vain.

Yes, it seems that we have to give our Commander Cao another lesson in artillery tactics.

At that moment, Wang Ye took the pen and notebook from Cao Sanlian's hand, and drew a schematic diagram with a brush.

After drawing the schematic diagram, Wang Ye said again: "Commander Cao, come and see, this line is our infantry starting position, and we mark it as zero, line zero." ”

"Go 150 meters from Line 0 and mark Line 1."

"50 meters further from Line 1, marked Line 2."

"50 meters further from Line 2, marked Line 3."

"And so on, if necessary, draw Line 99 or even more."

There was no difficulty in understanding this, and Cao Sanlian nodded to indicate that he had understood.

Wang Ye said: "Now the artillery regiment is divided into two artillery battalions, marked as the 1st battalion and the 2nd battalion respectively, and the firepower of these two artillery battalions is evenly distributed as much as possible. ”

"That's fine."

Cao Sanlian nodded and said, "Then divide it into two artillery battalions." ”

Anyway, now the artillery regiment has 40 guns, exactly 20 per battalion.

105 cannons and howitzers, 75 field guns, 75 anti-aircraft guns and 92 infantry guns can be evenly distributed.

Wang Ye continued: "Before the infantry launched a charge from Line 0, the 1st Battalion concentrated its firepower to cover Line 1 with artillery fire, and it was necessary to fire shells uninterruptedly, as many shells as it could. ”

"We need to get as many shells as possible to Line 1 in the shortest possible time."

"Two minutes later, when the infantry advanced to 25 to 50 meters from Line 1, the 2nd Battalion began to cover Line 2, and at the same time, the 1st Battalion extended its artillery fire forward to Line 3."

"In this process, both artillery battalions had to fire non-stop."

"Until we give the signal, the two artillery battalions will not be able to stop firing."

"Huh?" Cao Sanlian was speechless, "How many shells do you have to fire?" ”

"I don't know." Wang Ye said, "It depends on how deep the devil's position is." ”

Speaking of this, he said: "If the depth of the devil's position reaches 2 kilometers, then it will take an hour and 20 minutes of non-stop shelling. ”

"What? An hour and twenty minutes? ”

Cao Sanlian suddenly became anxious: "After fighting for so long, the barrel of the cannon is red, and it will explode." ”

"If the barrel is red, pour cold water." Wang Ye said, "Anyway, the artillery fire can't be stopped." ”

"Cold water?" Cao San said repeatedly, "That's not good, no, no, no, absolutely not, the life of the cannon barrel poured with cold water will be greatly shortened, and it will be deformed if it is not good." ”

Wang Ye smiled: "Head Cao, this is just an extreme situation. ”

"I don't think the depth of the devil's position will be more than a kilometer."

"So, four and a half minutes of continuous shooting is about the same."

"In fact, there is another situation, our infantry advances 500 meters, and the devil may have collapsed."

"Forty minutes, that's pretty much the same." Cao Sanlian said with a bitter face, "But how many shells do you have to shoot here?" If you don't do it, you have to knock out more than a dozen tons of shells in one battle, right? ”

"What are you afraid of more than a dozen tons of shells?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "A cannonball is only a good cannonball if it hits the devil's head." ”

"Besides, guarding the devil's line of communication, are you still afraid that there will be no shells?"

"I've already said hello to Yoshio Shinozuka, and he will replenish as many shells as your artillery regiment consumes."

"Hahaha, you just blow it, and let Yoshio Shinozuka replenish the shells for us." Cao Sanlian laughed when he heard this, "You kid really dare to think about it." ”

"If people don't have ideals, what's the difference between them and salted fish?"

Wang Ye smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Head Cao, have you remembered what I said just now?" ”

"Remembered." Cao Sanlian nodded heavily and said, "Except for the first wave of fixed shelling for 2 minutes, the rest is to move forward 100 meters every 2 minutes, until you shout stop!" ”

"yes, that's it." Wang Ye told again, "Don't miscalculate the time. ”

"Don't worry, we won't be wrong." Cao Sanlian said solemnly, "As long as the infantry advances at a speed of 100 meters in 2 minutes, the shells will never fall on their heads." ”

Cao Sanlian still has this self-confidence, and the quality of the artillery regiment is really okay.

Wang Ye said again: "While there is still time, you should hurry up and rehearse." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Cao Sanlian said suddenly, "It should indeed be rehearsed." ”

At that moment, Cao Sanlian shouted again: "Guards, notify the commanders of each company to come to the meeting." ”

Wang Ye also stayed to watch the rehearsal for a while, and found that these artillerymen learned quickly.

But then again, Xu Jin's barrage is actually not a complicated tactic.

Already in the First World War, this tactic was already used by the artillery of the Western powers.

The time soon came to three o'clock in the morning, and the front line called, and the devil from the direction of Shouyang arrived.

"Captain Cao, remember, don't make a mistake!" The king gave one last admonition, then turned over and stepped onto the wolf king, heading towards the forward observation post.

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood in front of the big sand table with a solemn face.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, the head of the communications section, Yasushi Inoue, walked in and reported at once: "Your Excellency, the final detachment has just sent an urgent telegram, and they have arrived at Sangzhang and seized the Sangzhang Bridge. ”

"In the end, the detachment has arrived in Sangzhang?" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly refreshed his spirits.

After saying this, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Did the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area pass the Sangzhang Bridge?" ”

"Not really." Inoue Yasushi shook his head and said, "In the end, the detachment contacted the nearby squires and the Imperial Association Army outpost, saying that there was no brigade of people passing through the Sangzhang Bridge tonight. ”

"Shh Yoshio Shinozuka was overjoyed when he heard this.

"In this way, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has not yet gone south!"

That is, the opening has already been blocked by the final detachment.

In other words, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area did not run away.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka clenched his fists hard and finally pulled back a game.

In Shinozuka's memory, he seems to have been at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two since he got in touch with the prince through the radio station, but today, he finally won back a city.

And this time the game is worth all the previous losses.

Yoshio Shinozuka really wants to know, what kind of mood will the prince be in at this moment?

Just as he was thinking about it, Chida Kosuke suddenly stood up again, held up the microphone and said, "Your Excellency Commander, that guy asked to talk to you again." ”

"Give it to me."

Yoshio Shinozuka strode over,

He took over the microphone and earpiece from Yuki Chida's assistant.

"Ma Xi Ma Xi, the prince?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a smile.

"It's me." The voice of the prince immediately came from the opposite side, and he seemed to be a little angry when he heard it, "Shinozuka-kun, you are playing me!" You didn't lay an ambush near Sangzhang at all! ”

"When my scout arrives at Sangzhang,"

"Your Japanese army has just arrived in Sangzhang."

"You deliberately said that you have planted an ambush in Sangzhang,"

"I'm not wrong about what I'm saying just to stabilize us, to buy time for your troops to rush to Sangzhang and block the passage south? Shinozuka-kun! ”

"Worthy of the king!"

"He is worthy of being the second commander of the Eighth Route Army."

Yoshio Shinozuka applauded and laughed, "You can guess it." ”

"Shinozuka-kun, that's not good." The prince said angrily, "If you deceive your enemies like this, won't your conscience hurt?" Huh? ”

"Conscience aches?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned when he heard this.

Strange, why does it hurt to deceive the conscience of the enemy?

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "You China don't have a saying, it's called soldiers don't get tired of cheating, hehe." ”

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating? I get it! The prince said angrily, "Shinozuka-kun, you are ruthless this time, but don't think that you will win in this way, I will come back!" ”

"No, you don't have a chance."

Yoshio Shinozuka said proudly: "Now that your passage to the south has been blocked by the main force of the 2nd Guards Division, Zhaojiayuan's retreat will soon be cut off by the imperial troops coming from Shouyang and Jingcheng. ”

"In other words, you're already stuck on the winding road in the middle."

"Next, your only choice is to abandon the heavy equipment, break it into pieces, and break through separately."

"It's a pity that even if you break into pieces and break out separately, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through, because I have prepared cavalry and motorized rapid mobile units for you."

"What did you say?" The prince shouted, "You still want to cut off our retreat to the base area? ”

Speaking of this, the prince on the other side seemed to cover the microphone, but it was not tightly covered, so he could still vaguely hear the prince ordering loudly on the other side.

"Pass my orders!"

"The new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment urgently returned for reinforcements."

"At all costs, we must recapture the Zhao homeland, go quickly!"

Hearing the prince's loud order on the other side, Yoshio Shinozuka laughed more and more happily.

After a while, the prince on the opposite side seemed to have discovered the problem, and this time it was finally completely cut off.

Yoshio Shinozuka also handed the receiver and microphone back to Kosuke Chida, and then turned to Yasushi Inoue and said, "Inoue-kun, immediately call the 1st Core Detachment, speed up the speed to seize the Zhao homeland, and plug the gap." ”

Speaking of this, he said, "But I still have to remind Ogasawara-kun." ”

"Don't be careless, in addition to beware of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, you must also beware of mines."
