"This is the sound of the Little Devil Type 96 150mm heavy cannon, and the screaming sound of the shell it emits is different from other 150mm howitzers, because it has the longest range of 150mm guns, more than 25 kilometers, the fastest initial velocity of the shell, up to 860 meters / meter, and the heaviest shell, up to 50 kilograms, so it is also the most powerful."

"With this one, we have very few artillery against them. If it weren't for the Air Force, just this artillery and heavy artillery wing, we would have suffered a lot of casualties."

Gao Jianwu, who was observing the enemy's situation outside the position, said solemnly to Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei and the others who were following him.

This is a big killer weapon that also appeared in the system weapon exchange list, Gao Jianwu of course knows his parameters well, as Gao Jianwu comes into contact with more and more things, the system's exchange weapon list is getting longer and longer. As long as Gao Jianwu has been in contact with something, it will appear.

After listening to Gao Jianwu's introduction, everyone looked at the fire-like cannonballs in the sky that pierced the night sky from time to time, and listened intently for a while, "There are a total of 24 such cannons." Chu Yunfei confirmed after listening for a while.

"The little devil also deployed another kind of cannon this time, if I heard it correctly, it should be a Type 96 150mm field howitzer, and the number should be as many as 36."

"That is to say, this time the little devil is investing in a real heavy artillery brigade, according to Chu's understanding, there should be only one heavy artillery brigade for the little devil in this area of Nanyang, if I don't guess wrong, it is the sixth heavy artillery brigade of the tenth army of the little devil who has just arrived in Nanyang!"

Chu Yunfei is worthy of being an expert who has studied little devils thoroughly, and his usual hobby is to collect all kinds of intelligence and study the opponent of little devils in an all-round way.

At this time, just listening to the sound of the little devil's cannon can analyze so many things, which is just similar to the information Gao Jianwu obtained through the system.

"We don't have a cannon that compares to the little devil's 96 heavy cannon. However, this heavy cannon is not without its drawbacks, at least its weight is not suitable for movement, and it has to follow a large road to move." Gao Jianwu nodded, although he also attached great importance to this heavy artillery of the little devil, he was not particularly afraid.

Because now there are planes, and there are tanks. For these heavy artillery, which cannot move flexibly, planes and tanks are their biggest killers.

"Brother Jianwu is not wrong at all, these heavy cannons weigh more than 20 tons, and they can't be dragged on roads with poor road conditions. As long as they reveal the position of their deployment, we can destroy them with air strikes. After all, the air superiority is now on our side." Chu Yunfei agreed.

"Speaking of which, Brother Jianwu is also well led, so that we are now fully equipped with air and ground equipment, and the air force of the allied forces is also very effective here, so we will make up for our last shortcoming. Otherwise we don't have air superiority, and the artillery can't keep up, and we may repeat the mistakes of the past."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

was prepared, all the men and horses were withdrawn from the position, and not a single casualty was caused.

Just wasting more than a week of hard work for thousands of workers.

There was an observation point two kilometers away from the position, Chu Yunfei's eyes were deep, and he was even more convinced of Gao Jianwu's command.

Although it is not known where Gao Jianwu got the news that the little devils were going to use heavy artillery to attack, facts have proved that Gao Jianwu used an empty position to let the enemy bombard indiscriminately for half an hour, wasting countless ammunition, but found nothing.

"Let's all retreat to the second alternative observation point and continue to watch the battle, and when the little devils rush over, we will leave, it may be a little late." After the little devil bombarded the empty position for seven or eight rounds, Gao Jianwu said to everyone.

According to the tactics of the little devil, after the artillery bombarded, the infantry should rush up, although it is said that it is separated by a big river, but the bridge on the Xidan River is not destroyed by Gao Jianwu, which is also a gate of hell specially reserved for the little devil.

It's easy to get in, but there's not much chance of getting out.

By observing the landing point of the little devil's shell and the trajectory of the flight in the air, Gao Jianwu and Chu Yunfei are both experts, and the two of them have basically locked the general direction of the enemy's heavy artillery position.

It's just that the little devils are not stupid, their heavy artillery positions are set up in places that the heavy artillery regiments of the expeditionary force can't reach.

So tonight, Gao Jianwu didn't think about destroying the enemy's heavy artillery positions right now.

At night, the lights are blind, and with the current level of air force equipment, there is definitely no way to bomb at night.

And now there is only one bridge connecting with the opposite bank, and it is not easy for tanks to rush through, so they can only make the little devil heavy artillery arrogant for a while.

"Battalion 1, hurry up! All of them are in position!" Wei Guodong watched the enemy's heavy artillery stop, and hurriedly beckoned the team to sneak back to the forward position through the tunnel, and redeploy the defensive line in the large pits one after another in the front.

On the other side, four 75-mm howitzer battalions began to enter combat status in predetermined positions, and the commanders of each artillery company nervously guarded walkie-talkies and waited for orders.

The main force that undertook the first round of bloody struggle with the little devils was the four 75mm howitzer battalions that were sent to the attack group, but at this time they were concentrated by Gao Jianwu and distributed in four different positions for unified command and use.

According to the prior plan, when the little devil infantry brigade rushed over, the 1st battalion defense unit would have to retreat immediately after a burst of interception operations at the bridgehead to avoid being shelled by the little devil's heavy artillery.

Among them, the task of breaking off was the indiscriminate covered bombardment of these four howitzer battalions.

And after the artillery repels the first wave of the Little Devil, the 4 howitzer battalions will immediately withdraw from their original positions to avoid the Little Devil heavy artillery counterattack, because their position is also within the strike coverage of the Little Devil 150 mm heavy cannon.

Gao Jianwu can only make good use of the time difference to repel or even annihilate the first wave of the little devil's attack. Only when the first wave of counterattack is fierce, will the little devils think that the expeditionary force is investing the main force to defend here, and they can't resist it so they can break through, so that they can rest assured that all the real main forces will be pressed over.

It can be said that they are very particular about advancing and retreating. If you want to catch the main force of the little devil Mao Mianmian like a fish, it is not an easy thing for Gao Jianwu.

......

In the darkness on the other side, General Kimura and Chief of Staff Shimodasa, who were secretly observing somewhere, were also carefully observing the situation on the other side of the strait at the moment.

"Shimoda-kun, the dark fortress of the expeditionary force on the other side has almost been destroyed, so order the commander of the 111th Wing, Takaharu Oki, to start attacking." After the shelling had almost covered the positions on the opposite bank, General Kimura ordered.

Although it is not very clear at night, it will flicker with a huge fire when the cannonball explodes. General Kimura still assessed from the other side that the bunker on the opposite position had been completely lost, and there was hardly any bulge in sight.

General Kimura had no doubts about the lethality of the 150-mm cannon's 50-kilogram shells, and now five or six hundred heavy bombs were dropped into the opponent's positions

。 According to this level of firepower coverage, everyone Kimura believes that there should be almost no living mouth on the other side.

The commander of the 111th Wing, Takaji Oki, received an order, and he ordered the first brigade to set off immediately!

Daisaku Honma, who was full of meat, raised his command knife, "Kill and give!" After a howl, he was the first to rush over the bridge with the first squadron.

More than a thousand little devils were originally brave enough to charge, and in their expectation, the bridge would definitely encounter an artillery attack by the expeditionary force cluster.

But it didn't, until the whole brigade of little devils rushed across the bridge and launched an attack formation at the bridgehead, and the artillery fire of the expeditionary force cluster did not fall on the bridge.

Seeing that the first brigade occupied the bridgehead and realized that this was a good opportunity, the commander of the 111th Wing, Takaharu Oki, hurriedly ordered the other two brigades under his command to continue the attack!

Seeing that the enemy had already entered the forward position, Wei Guodong, the commander of the first battalion of the first attack group of the expeditionary force, had already waited for an order, fired the first shot of fire, and lurked back in the tunnel of the forward position, a very light and heavy machine gun opened fire almost at the same time, and a tongue of fire sprayed at the group of little devils.

Finally entered the normal battle mode, or he suspected that he was fighting the air, and the other party would have no one here at all.

Now that the enemy has finally appeared, it is not clear how they survived the heavy artillery bombardment, but at least Daisaku Honma believes that it is still normal.

In the face of the attack of the 1st Expeditionary Force Attack Group, Daisaku Honma also began to counterattack, and grenadiers and heavy machine guns began to suppress the flashing fire points, and these well-trained little devils immediately caused casualties on the 1st Battalion side.

However, as the forward artillery observation post reported the location of the little devils, the overwhelming shells began to fall on the crowd of little devils.

Not only the four howitzer battalions commanded by Gao Jianwu, but also the artillery of Wei Guodong's own 1st battalion also set up mortar positions about 2 kilometers behind the position.

More than 20 81mm mortars opened fire with all their might, and more than 300 shells were poured on Daisaku Honma's position in one minute.

However, this was only the beginning, as Gao Jianwu commanded two of the four howitzer battalions to fire, and each round covered the shelling area composed of 36 75mm shells, which was enough to cover all the troops of Daisaku Honma!

"Ahhh After raising the command knife and roaring incompetently for a while, it was directly torn apart by artillery fire, and the well-defined multi-layered firepower set up by Gao Jianwu in the forward position played a huge role at this moment, and in a very short time, the tentative attack of a brigade of little devils was directly smashed!

"The 1st Battalion immediately withdraws from its position and retreats to the second line of defense!" As Wei Guodong saw that the vanguard of the little devils was almost completely wiped out, knowing that the enemy's shelling would soon begin again, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat again, and this time they would retreat directly to the second line of defense.

Since the second line of defense is five or six kilometers away from the first, it has not yet been exposed, and the shelling of the little devils cannot extend there.

As for the first line of defense, the sparse front-line artillery observation posts will be left now to monitor the attack dynamics of the little devils at any time and indicate the targets of the artillery shelling.

The firepower deployment of the entire position designed by Gao Jianwu is clearly layered and scattered, and if the long-range heavy artillery of the little devils cannot counterattack the first battalion when it is on the position in time, then they will soon disappear.

Their death was meaningless for the attacking little devil Honma Brigade, and they had not even given their own artillery observation post enough time to observe to deduce the location of the enemy artillery.

"Yaga! Order the heavy artillery brigade to carry out the shelling of the enemy's positions, damn it, how come there are still so many alive people on the positions!" Admiral Kimura watched the first round of tentative attacks on his side lose completely, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little impetuous.

This time, the counterattack of the expeditionary force cluster was extremely sharp, leaving almost all the soldiers of the Honma brigade

The army is annihilated!

The commander of the 111th Wing, who followed behind, was so heartbroken that he could barely breathe, the enemy was too reluctant, there was no shelling on the bridge, and the shelling began only when people were let go and lined up in an array at the bridgehead, and as soon as it was dispatched, it was more than 50 powerful firepower, isn't this bullying?

The commander of the 111th Wing, Takaharu Oki, put the artillery squadron in the middle this time, and the 6 92 infantry guns directly followed the infantry in front, if the enemy mortar dared to appear again, then these 6 92 infantry guns would launch a counterattack at the first time!

The commander of the 111th Wing, Takashi Shimu, had a good plan, but unfortunately now Wei Guodong and they had already shifted their positions, carrying weapons and ammunition, and now they began to retreat to the second line of defense in a hurry.

It was only here that the mortar battery of the 1 battalion re-established artillery positions.

The first front of the little devil's heavy artillery brigade was empty at the moment, but it stopped after at least wasting 300 heavy shells of the little devil's team!

After letting the captain of the 111th Wing, who followed up, Koji Oki, check the position, he almost died without vomiting blood!

But before he could react, cannonballs began to rain in the air again!

This time there were no mortars, all of them were shells fired from 75mm howitzers, but the number was twice as many as just now, reaching 72 shells in a round!

The captain of the 111th Wing, Takaji Oki, heard the sound of cannonballs whistling all over the sky, and people were almost numb at that time!

Compared with the previous Honma masterpiece, the captain of the 111th wing, Takaharu Oki, feels even more desperate at the moment! You know, they had just come down from the bridge, in front of the beachhead at the endless bridgehead. In addition to the freshly blown up crater, there is unobstructed flat ground all around!

This round of shelling alone, I'm afraid that his men lost nearly a third!

Gao Jianwu chose to block here, naturally he had already calculated that the lethality of artillery to the troops could be brought into full play!

Tonight, Gao Jianwu selected five different gun positions for the howitzer artillery battalion in advance, and changed one gun position every time he fought, so that the little devil heavy artillery could not find a target at all.

For artillery units that have achieved mechanized transfer, they can quickly change to a new position one kilometer away.

This greatly ensured the mobility and safety of the howitzer battalion.

One shell after another fell in the crowd of the 111th Wing, but Koji Oki felt powerless. The enemy is a few kilometers away, he can't see it, how can he fight?

"Your Excellency, the enemy's tactical artillery has been used to perfection. Our men are too passive in the position." On the other side, Shimoda Saku, who was watching the battle, said to General Kimura with a very unsightly face

"Shimoda-kun, there is no way, the enemy is too cunning, their artillery is constantly changing positions, our artillery observation post can't lock on to the target at all, and the ninety-two infantry guns on the front are close to the enemy, but the distance is not enough!" General Kimura also saw that he was spitting fire, but now he had to send it.

"Order the 121st Wing, the 154th Wing will directly assault the past, the 111th Wing can't stay in the position and be beaten passively, immediately order them to disperse and assault to the west! Don't gather together."

Admiral Kimura ordered as he watched.

"The heavy artillery brigade extends the enemy's position for 3 kilometers and continues the shelling! Smash a safe space for the troops crossing the river!"

Admiral Kimura was preparing to use artillery shells to create a safe world for the little devils, and he did not believe that the enemy's artillery could accurately shell any area. After all, who can accurately estimate the position of the artillery on such a night.

At most, there is an approximate position probability, and it is very good to be able to calculate the deviation of four or five hundred meters.

But at present, General Kimura did not expect that Gao Jianwu was not an ordinary person in the first place, he set up dozens of observers nearby, as long as the little devil entered the observation range of these observers, then on his accurate map, he would quickly confirm the enemy's target location, so as to get specific coordinates.

With these coordinates, it was possible to carry out accurate shelling.

The current rhythm is all in Gao Jianwu's calculations.

It's just that watching the enemy begin to increase his troops, Gao Jianwu gradually reduced the intensity of the artillery bombardment.

On the one hand, the transfer of artillery was carried out.

On the other hand, Gao Jianwu was also afraid that such an artillery bombardment would make the little devil's heart ache and stop crossing the river.

In that case, the main force may be gone.

Just like the fish, Gao Jianwu has now begun to collect and release the way, so that the little devil can find a little confidence.

Watch them find a so-called safe area on this side of the bridge. Begin to establish positions to provide defense for the follow-up troops.

"Let's go, today's first line of defense, we will fight here." After Gao Jianwu disabled the 111th Wing, he saw the little devils of at least one division crossing the river, and he no longer had nostalgia, and moved to the observation point of the second line of defense with the entire front-line command regiment.

"Lao Gao, the title of the king of artillery warfare is well deserved in your hands!" Ding Wei sighed on the side, he witnessed with his own eyes how Gao Jianwu commanded the artillery to ravage the little devils.

It seemed simple, but Ding Wei knew that he would never learn. Because he simply did not know the precise location of the enemy. He didn't know how Gao Jianwu judged it.

But judging by the results. An artillery soldier like Gao Jianwu is very sharp.

In a beachhead like the west bank of the Po Valley, the enemy cannot show his strength.

If there was no long-range heavy artillery harassment from the enemy, Ding Wei suspected that as long as his 1st battalion held the first position and let Gao Jianwu command the four artillery battalions to provide artillery support, even if the enemy had 100,000 troops, he would not be able to rush through.

But the little devil's heavy artillery brigade directly shattered Ding Wei's idea. This feeling that the enemy can fight you and you can't fight back.

Ding Wei used to be encountered often, and at that time, there was no other way to deal with it except to retreat into the deep mountains and old forests. So I often feel very aggrieved.

But now, everyone no longer has to hold themselves back, and when it comes to dawn, there are ways to clean them up.

So even if the enemy's heavy artillery is very arrogant now, Ding Wei doesn't think it's a big deal. After all, their side had been prepared for a long time, and the enemy's heavy artillery did not cause any casualties at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just know a little bit better than you." Gao Jianwu said with some modesty.

He's not actually lying, if he hadn't hung up, he would have really been a little bit better than them.

But in the eyes of everyone, Gao Jianwu is a little too modest.

"Brother Jianwu, Chu is also a person with some insight in the military world, but among the current domestic artillery commanders, Chu really hasn't seen anyone more brilliant than Brother Jianwu." Chu Yunfei said sincerely.

For Gao Jianwu on the one hand, Chu Yunfei admires his overall situation and ability to engage in weapons very much. Now the armament of the expeditionary force cluster far exceeds that of any ace unit in the country.

It can be said that compared with the main force of the beautiful country, the current weapons and equipment of the expeditionary force cluster are not much different.

On the other hand, what Chu Yunfei admired was Gao Jianwu's artillery command ability, which was simply amazing.

It can be said that 80% of the results of the expeditionary force cluster were achieved by artillery.

In the relaxed and happy transfer of everyone, the little devils trembled one by one, and kept moving westward under the long-range artillery fire.

It's just that Gao Jianwu now intends to let them go, so the artillery is hidden one by one.

This opening was tossed to the point that General Kimura, who was a little worse than dead, and a little confused.

However, after the main forces of two divisions successfully crossed the river overnight, General Kimura finally relieved to mobilize the main forces, and the four integrated divisions except for the 111th Wing, which was crippled, all opened an offensive position in the south of the trough, and came directly towards the trough, and the first to bear the brunt was the second line of defense defended by the 1st battalion!
