Fang Ligong was speechless.

Because they set a rate of error of fifteen meters for the Japanese artillery.

Later, Li Yunlong took the initiative to change this parameter to 20 meters, which is completely fine.

It can't be that the mountain artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Jinsui Army can make an error rate of less than 15 meters, while the Japanese artillery unit can only play an error rate of more than 20 meters, right?

Seeing that Fang Ligong was deflated, Wang Ye also smiled and said nothing.

In fact, the tactical literacy of the Japanese artillery was stronger than that of the Jin Sui army.

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the overall tactical literacy of the Japanese infantry has been declining at a rate visible to the naked eye, but the tactical literacy of two branches of the armed forces has been rising against the trend.

These two arms are aviation and artillery.

Not to mention the air force, the Japanese air force at this time was already the strongest air force in the world.

In the East Asia-South War and the Pacific War, which are about to start, the air force of the Great Yin Empire and the air force of the beautiful country will be beaten by the Japanese naval aviation.

This group of pilots of the Japanese naval aviation was fought in one air battle after another on the Chinese battlefield, and these pilots killed the same kind of people in the Dayin Empire and the beautiful country in seconds in terms of flight time and air combat experience, and the only ones who could compete with them were probably only the German air force pilots.

Of course, then again, there's nothing big about it.

Because the pilots of the Beautiful Country and the Great Yin Empire will soon be able to catch up.

But few people know that the tactical literacy of the Japanese artillery also reached the peak of this era.

Due to the fact that the Japanese artillery has suffered very little attrition and many opportunities for actual combat, it is gradually growing into an artillery unit with the most superb tactical literacy in the world today.

If there is not too much drastic change in the world front, this artillery force will be transferred to the Pacific theater in the next few years, and they will use artillery that is obviously inferior in technical performance to inflict brutal casualties on the beautiful army engaged in the island-by-island battle, and the Pacific War will become a nightmare for the M Army.

And the ultimate nightmare in this nightmare is the artillery of the Japanese army.

turned his gaze to Chu Yunfei again, but found that Chu Yunfei was still stunned.

Obviously, the war game just now really stunned Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei's military quality is not to be said, he is definitely an excellent soldier.

But tactical command is almost meaningless, and it is especially bad at attacking fortified positions.

The tactics adopted by Chu Yunfei are still the same as those taught in the classroom of the Whampoa Military Academy, and they are still the same tactics that have been beaten into dogs by the Japanese marines on the Songhu battlefield.

The core of this tactic is to break through the strongest fortifications of the defense.

The Whampoa Military Academy's set of tactics for tackling tough battles was not made up out of thin air, in fact, it was also summed up from actual combat, and it has been proved countless times by actual combat, and this is a set of effective tactics.

However, times have changed, and this set of tactics worked for the Beiyang Army, but not against the Japanese army.

As long as the Beiyang Army breaks through the outer defense line, it will basically fall apart, but the Japanese army is not like this at all, for the Japanese army, even if you break through to their headquarters, even if they are only the last person left, they will still pick up arms and fight you to the death, for such an army, it is useless to break through the outer defense.

In the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, after thoroughly understanding this tactical characteristic of the Nationalist army, the Japanese marines only placed a small number of troops on the periphery, and when the Nationalist army successfully "broke through" the outer defense line and attacked in a big way, they concentrated their superior forces and firepower to kill and wound a large number of Nationalist troops in the narrow and cramped streets and alleys.

Chu Yunfei also suffered this loss just now.

After breaking through the walls of the outer city of Taiyuan, even though he knew that the "defenders" did not do their best, he still did not hesitate to invest a main regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the Jin Sui Army, attacked from the gap, and went straight to the inner city, trying to take the inner city in one go and destroy the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi.

And then on the street from the arch gate to the rear gate,

It was killed and wounded by the intensive artillery fire of the "Japanese army".

In less than fifteen minutes, one regiment had suffered all casualties.

Even a regiment that was trying to reinforce was crippled by long-range Japanese fire.

After a long time, Chu Yunfei finally came back to his senses and asked Li Yunlong with a dark face: "Brother Yunlong, how much firepower have you deployed on both sides of Gongjimen Street?" ”

"All." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "All the Type 92 heavy machine guns, all the grenadiers, all the mortars, and all the tanks and armored vehicles. ”

"All?" Chu Yunfei was silent.

"Yes, all!" Li Yunlong said.

"Crazy! How can there be such a war? Fang Ligong said, "You have deployed all the heavy firepower on Gongjimen Street, don't you want the defense in other directions?" ”

"That's exactly the problem." Wang Ye said very politely, "You think that the fortifications of the city walls are the focus of defense, and we should put most of the troops and most of the firepower in the city walls, and they are evenly distributed in each direction, but I want to say that only idiots would do this." ”

"You!" Fang Ligong was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it.

Li Yunlong then said to Chu Yunfei: "Brother Yunfei, I know that you have a large number of troops, and your artillery also has the advantage of range, so I won't entangle with you on the periphery and the city walls, I will let go of the periphery and let you into the outer city." ”

"I only deploy a small number of troops on the perimeter and the city walls, just to hold you back for half an hour."

"In half an hour, I can rely on the advantage of the inside line to concentrate all my firepower in one direction."

"After breaking through the outer defense line and the city wall, your troops thought that our defense line had collapsed, so they broke through with confidence, and as a result, they stepped into the trap."

"Hold off your reinforcements with our long-range artillery fire."

"Although your artillery has the advantage of firing range, our artillery position is located behind the wall of the inner city, and due to the limitation of the ballistic curve, you cannot carry out effective countermeasures."

"Brother Yunfei, this is the iron fist I prepared for you."

After saying this, he smiled and asked, "It doesn't taste good, right?" ”

Chu Yunfei snorted twice, didn't answer, and couldn't answer.

Because it was true that he had lost this battle, and he had lost it in an extremely embarrassing way.

Li Yunlong smiled, and then said, "Brother Yunfei, what about this command?" ”

"It is impossible to give you the command to you." Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "However, if your department really launches an attack on Taiyuan, our 1st Brigade of the Jinsui Army will definitely fully cooperate." ”

"That's good, hehe." Li Yunlong also accepted it when he saw it.

This is already Chu Yunfei's only remaining pride, and he can't be greedy.

Liang Gang also said: "Our 94th Brigade will also fully cooperate!" ”

Fang Ligong instinctively wanted to object, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that even if he objected, it was useless, and no one could change what Chu Yunfei decided, neither Chief Yan nor Chairman Chang could change.

The next step is the unification of communication.

The three brigades fought together, and it would be too much of a delay to rely on the communicators.

It is not practical to set up telephone lines, so a set of temporary cipher codes must be used.

Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong didn't care about this matter, and left Fang Ligong and Wang Ye to be fully responsible, and Wang Ye took two copies of the Shushan Swordsman Biography from Fang Ligong's bookcase as the mother book.

"Just use this as the mother copy of the cipher code?"

Fang Ligong looked at Wang Ye with idiotic eyes.

Believe it or not, the Japanese intelligence class can decipher it for you in a few minutes.

"Chief of Staff Fang, don't worry." Wang Ye smiled, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Ligong.

"What?" Fang Ligong took it and took a look, and was stunned, it turned out to be a set of blindly made up Morse code?

Morse ciphers are all unified, such as five marks for 0, one point four for 1, two points three for two, for professional intelligence agencies, the effort of secrecy will be placed on the code book.

But Wang Ye made up his own Morse code.

And the use of dots and strokes is irregular, it is all random.

For example, 0 yards are used with nine strokes, and 1 yard is used, but only one dot is used.

And the most disgusting thing is that Wang Ye's Morse code is also designed with nine empty codes.

For your own personnel who know the codebook, you can skip it directly when you encounter an empty code, but for enemy intelligence officers who do not have a codebook, these nine empty codes become an unsolvable puzzle.

This is already beyond the standard for a set of temporary cipher codes that only take half a month or even a few days at most, and the Japanese military intelligence department has no time to decipher them.

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The time came on May 6, 1941.

It was already early in the morning, and the intelligence department of the Taiyuan 1st Army Headquarters was still brightly lit.

"Section Chief." A communications soldier handed a telegram that had just been translated to Yasushi Inoue, and paused, "This is the telegram that the Kitazawa Brigade has just sent back." ”

Yasushi Inoue checked that it was correct and signed his name.

Then he took the telegram and went straight to the war room, and handed the telegram to Ryuichi Sakamoto, the head of the operations section.

As soon as Sakamoto Takashi finished reading the telegram, he immediately walked up to Iwamatsu Yoshio on the opposite side and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, the Kitazawa Brigade has just sent a telegram, and the headquarters of the 98th Army has been found. ”

"Oh, really?" Hanaya asked, "Where?" ”

Ryuichi Sakamoto took the long wooden pole from the hands of a combat staff officer.

Then he pointed to the sand table and said, "Here, near Tangwang Mountain east of Wenxi County." ”

"Yo Si." Hanaya nodded happily, and said to Iwamatsu Yoshio, "Your Excellency, the Central Army of China on Nakajo Mountain still has some combat effectiveness in terms of the 98th Army of Wu Shimin. ”

"Now the command of the 98th Army has been found."

"There is no suspense in this battle of the Central Plains."

After a pause, Hanaya said again: "You can start." ”

"Yo Si." Iwamatsu Yoshio nodded happily and said, "Order all divisions and brigades to launch an attack on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and half an hour before the main force launches the attack, the Kitazawa Brigade will first launch a beheading battle against the headquarters of the 98th Army in China, and strive to paralyze the command system of the 98th Army in China as soon as possible." ”

"Hello." Flower Valley is pausing heavily.

……

Tang Wang Mountain.

Shigeo Kitazawa is like a piece of basalt, lying on the cliff for a long time without moving.

Looking down over the cliff, you can clearly see the 98th Army Headquarters, the 98th Army Headquarters is still on guard, and the sentry posts are very tightly arranged.

Time passes slowly in a boring wait.

At one point, Shigeo Kitazawa raised his right wrist.

I saw that the hour hand of Panerai's luminous watch was already pointing to half past three in the morning, and the time had come.

At that moment, Kitazawa Shigeo knelt down and stood up, and then stretched out his right hand and pressed it forward, and the more than 100 special combat personnel lying behind him got up one after another.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

A dozen hemp ropes were quickly thrown off the cliff.

The first combat team lowered the safety rope into the horn ring.

When Kitazawa Shigeo followed the second battle group Zoro to the bottom of the cliff, the first battle group that was the first to come down from Zoro had already set up a guard position a hundred meters away.

A moment later, the third combat group also fell silent.

Kitazawa Shigeo waved his hand again, and the three battle groups immediately formed a battle formation, like more than a hundred ghosts, silently touching towards the headquarters of the 98th Army.

……

General Takeshi Min is reading a book.

General Wu likes it very much, especially the biography of the Shushan Swordsman written by the Lord of Huanzhulou.

Every night after finishing military affairs, General Wu always likes to read a book when he soaks his feet, which is already a very luxurious enjoyment for General Wu.

However, I don't know why, General Wu always felt unable to calm down tonight.

General Wu always felt a kind of inexplicable uneasiness in shock, so he put it down immediately, wiped his feet and stood up, and then called the guards to prepare to go out to check the sentry.

Since the retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain, the military discipline of the various units of the Central Army is collapsing at an alarming rate.

For example, the barracks of all armies and divisions under Zeng Wanzhong's Fifth Group Army have become markets, not only selling grain, but also openly selling weapons and ammunition, and even secretly selling opium.

Deng Maoen's 14th Army fared slightly better, but not much better.

The only exception was General Wu's 98th Army, which still maintained strict discipline.

Inspecting to the camp gate, General Samurai Min realized that something was wrong, after all, he had fought for half his life, although he didn't know what exactly went wrong, but he knew that something must have gone wrong.

In layman's terms, he smelled danger in the air.

"Company Commander Chang, go and wake up the brothers!" Wu Shimin lowered his voice and said, "Quietly, don't be too loud......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a pop, and when he looked at it urgently, he saw that the guard who was still standing beside him just now had fallen straight back.

It's too late!

The enemy has already begun to move!

At that moment, Wu Shimin took out his pistol and fired two shots at the door.

The crisp sound of gunfire soon shattered the silence of the night and woke up the soldiers of the national army in the barracks.

Seeing this scene, Wu Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the enemy could quietly infiltrate the vicinity of his headquarters, and it would definitely not be a large army, at best, one or two hundred people.

And his guard had a battalion of more than 400 men.

The enemy's sneak attack has failed, and the next thing is positional warfare.

In a positional war, only one or two hundred Japanese troops could not help his guards at all.

However, the idea was very beautiful, but the reality was very cruel, after the battle began, the scene that General Wu was expecting did not appear, and the result of the battle was almost one-sided!

Because the Japanese army had already seized the commanding heights around it.

Even several guard towers around the barracks have been covertly controlled by the Japanese army.

After taking control of the surrounding vantage points, the Japanese set up sniper rifles and submachine guns, completely blockaded the entire barracks, and the officers and men of the guard battalion rushed out of the house and shot one of them.

The Japanese not only had accurate marksmanship, but also very fierce firepower.

In a matter of moments, the Guards battalion had already suffered more than 100 casualties.

And this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Japanese army began to attack forward again.

Soon, the two devils broke into the vicinity of the camp gate, only separated from General Wu by a gate.

General Wu flashed out from behind the doorpost where he was hiding, raised his gun and shot continuously, but the reaction of the two devils was extremely fast, and they had already dodged left and right before General Wu could fire.

The blow missed, and General Wu was about to shrink back and hide, but there was no chance.

Hearing a muffled pop, a 6.5mm caliber lead warhead had already spun at high speed and flew over, piercing General Wu's chest in one fell swoop.

The whole world was stunned.

General Wu fell straight back.

As he was dying, the warrior saw two devils in tactical vests walking past him, and their high-top military boots stepped on the ground in front of him, splashing a cloud of dust.

General Wu was eager to get up and continue the fight.

However, it is very unfortunate that the body is no longer listening.

General Wu's last thought was, it's over.

O iniquity! It's all Chang Kaishen's sin!

……

At five o'clock, Chang Kaishen woke up on time.

After washing, just as Chang Kaishen was about to go for a walk on the trail by the Jialing River, Tang Zong, the leader of the third group, walked in with a black face.

"Headmaster, something happened."

Tang Zongdao: "Zhongtiao Mountain is attacked!" ”

Chang Kaishen was about to put the towel back on the towel rack, and when he heard this, he said: "Eighth Route Army? ”

"It's not." Tang Zong took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the panic in his chest, and said in a deep voice, "It's the Japanese army, at four o'clock this morning, the Japanese army launched an attack at the same time in the north, west, and east directions of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater, and now the command system of the entire theater has been completely paralyzed, the group army cannot contact the army, and the army cannot contact the division level, and it has been completely chaotic. ”

"Poof." The towel that Chang Kaishen was holding in his hand slipped on the floor, instantly wetting a piece.

Wang Shihe, the head of the guard, hurriedly bent down to pick up the towel from the floor, and said with concern: "Headmaster? ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Chang Kaishen tried his best to suppress the panic and instructed Tang Zongdao, "Naijian, immediately notify the heads of all departments to come to the conference room for a meeting." ”

Tang Zong promised and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chang Kaishen.

"Wait." Chang Kaishen said again, "In addition to the heads of the various departments and offices in the chamber, I will inform the senior generals of the headquarters to come to Yunxiu Tower for a meeting immediately, immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Tang Zong left in a hurry.

Chang Kaishen pretended to be calm and walked out the door.

As a result, he took a step and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Wang Shihe's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly took a step forward to support him.

"How so?" Chang Kaishen sighed and said, "How can this be? ”
