"Yes, understand, location, Southeast No. 3 area, coordinates..."

Xie Zaoshi put down the phone and grabbed another telephone on the table: "Please note of each gun, three rapid fires, Southeast No. 3 area, coordinates..."

"yes!"

In order to prevent the Japanese from bombing artillery positions in the city, Xie Zaoshi's twenty-four 150 howitzers were not placed together, but were scattered in several places in the south of the city.∽↗∽↗,

In this way, it will not be taken away by the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and it will be easier to hide and retreat!

This is what Leng Feng meant. After fighting this battle, they had to retreat to Jiangbei overnight. Xie Zaoshi was unwilling to give up, but for the sake of the overall situation.

These twenty-four 150 howitzers are now a treasure for the national rescuers. You must know that during the Battle of Shanghai, the heavy artillery of **** was almost lost.

It's hard to save a heavy artillery regiment, but that's not easy, and the shells are not easy to handle. I heard that the top of the mountain has already set my sights on it.

It’s just that the heavy artillery regiment is in the hands of the national rescue division and is still in the enemy-occupied area, so they can’t do anything about it.

The Japanese Qilin Gate heavy artillery position, Asada Yata Doctor Sato took his last sip of coffee, "Order, dinner is ready..."

Dongdong...

A sharp scream suddenly came from the sky. As an old artillery soldier, Yatsuro Asada could certainly hear it. It was the sound of the Taisho Four-Mode 150mm howitzer.

This type of howitzer has a range that just reaches his heavy artillery position.

"No..." Asada Yashiro rushed out of the military tent frantically and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry, transfer the artillery quickly..."

But his voice was soon annihilated by the whistling sound of whistling through the air. Twenty-four shells weighing 80 pounds were smashed down, and the violent explosion instantly swallowed him.

The Japanese artillery positions were too concentrated. Although the distance was widened, they were still together. The instant explosion caused the twelve 14-year 105 cannons in front of them to scatter. Then the artillery fire extended backwards, and the twelve 150 cannons also instantly exploded into fireballs. The artillery had nowhere to hide, and was instantly swept away by the air waves generated by the explosion. They were swallowed by the fireballs.

Finally, there are twelve Type 96 150 howitzers, originally used to suppress firepower, but were not used in the Japanese artillery bombardment. They did not even remove the cannon suits and were buried in the sea of ​​fire!

"What? The artillery position was destroyed and hit, what's going on?" Major General Katayama was shocked when he received the report. How could the position of the artillery position be known by the Chinese army?

Even if they knew that the artillery position was near the Qilin Gate, they did not have specific locations and coordinates, and their artillery could not accurately destroy their artillery positions.

What's more, it's a heavy artillery corps now, and the thirty-six heavy artillery pieces are almost completely lost in one go. Isn't this too evil?

"How did he command this incompetent guy Asada?"

"General, as long as our artillery attacks, the Chinese army can know the location of our artillery, but how did they know exactly..."

"Check, go and check quickly, and immediately call the Fujita Division Commander. Our army suffered a fierce resistance from the Chinese army and the heavy artillery wing was severely damaged. We asked for tactical guidance and tactical guidance!"

"Hayi!"

"What? The 11th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment was severely damaged by the Chinese Army artillery, and all artillery was lost. Captain Asada United was killed?" Fujita Jin, the commander of the 3rd Division who was in charge of the Tangshan Command, received a report from the front line and was shocked.

"The leader of the Tamayama Brigade reported whether the attack on Zhongshan Gate was postponed. If there was no artillery fire support, there might be too many casualties..."

"Bastard, his 5th Brigade has thousands of elite troops. Can't even take a small frontier position?" Fujita Jin shouted angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Major General Riichiro Katayama's fear of the enemy.

When did the generals of the Great Japanese Empire become so timid?

"The division commander, it's dark now. At this time, the Chinese army's 'Yasha' is cunning..." Chief of Staff Colonel Tian Yuanlixiong whispered a soft voice, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.

"What do you want to say?"

"The meaning of "hushi" is to stop the attack first and wait for the 9th Division to come up and request the aircraft to investigate and figure out the deployment of the Chinese army early tomorrow morning?"

"Does the navy have to wait until the navy clears the waterway to Nanjing before surrounding Nanjing?" Fujita Jin roared, "General Hata Shunji gave us three days. If we don't take down Nanjing City in three days, we will all go to the military court!"

"Hay, I understand!" Tian Yuanlixiong sweated coldly.

Outside Zhongshan Gate, under the cover of Japanese artillery fire, the frontier positions were already full of holes. The Japanese army wade through the minefield and launched repeated charges against the positions.

In addition to the frontal attack, the Japanese army also used a brigade to cooperate with the feint attack, and the battle situation was extremely fierce.

Even without heavy artillery, the number of Japanese artillery was greater than that of the national rescue division, field artillery, and infantry artillery took turns to use and bomb, which made the second detachment of the National Rescue Division. The number is now very difficult to deal with by the 391st Regiment of the New 39th Brigade.

Only one battalion was set up on the front line, and the troops were injured and killed nearly one in three years in half an hour. However, the Japanese army did not seem to have much casualties.

In addition to guessing that the landmines were accidentally injured, the casualties were far lower than those of the national rescuer.

This is because it was the defender of the city. It was built under the leadership of Leng Feng. A large number of underground castles formed dark firepower points, and the Japanese army was not prepared at all. Otherwise, it would be difficult to repel the Japanese attack.

It is an indisputable fact that the quality of the soldiers on both sides is not on the same level, and it cannot be changed in a short period of time.

There is no way to train soldiers in war. Which general does not care about the lives of his soldiers?

The artillery fire reflects the sky red!

Ju Youlin was under tremendous pressure to defend the city wall until noon tomorrow. Without heavy artillery support, they rely on their limited artillery support, which is a very test of the capabilities of the cutting-edge commanders.

"Report, the Japanese army broke through the defense line of Guandi Temple, and our troops are concentrating their efforts to retake it back!"

"Tell the battalion commander to take back the Guandi Temple at all costs, tell him to lose the Guandi Temple at all costs, and he will go to the deputy commander to apologize!"

"yes!"

"Strengthen the artillery battalion to the direction of Guandi Temple, let the first battalion commander organizes suicide squads and cooperate with them to retake Guandi Temple!" Just say that, Ju Youlin called the commander again and said.

The tenacious resistance of the Chinese army was beyond Major General Kazuyama's expectations. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, a pieced-in-one Chinese army would have built such a tight front, and the light and heavy weapons were so reasonable, extending backwards to the moat, forming a certain depth.

Especially the underground firepower castle, the most casualties caused to the charge of the Japanese army, and it always inadvertently formed a strangling firepower net in front of the position.

And the time to choose was very good, almost when his soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, they fired.

From the beginning of the attack, the Japanese army and the General Staff of the Fifth Brigade did not understand how many underground castle-like firepower points were buried under their blocking positions!

Major General Katayama cursed in anger that the Chinese obviously used the Japanese cement and steel bars to pour these underground castles. Otherwise, if it was a civil-building castle, it would be knocked off with just one 75mm mountain cannon. But now, several consecutive guns may not be able to destroy these underground castles.

This must be reinforced with steel and cement. Moreover, among the Chinese, there must be engineers who are proficient in underground castles construction, otherwise, they would never have built these underground castles so strongly.

Less than two days after Chinese talents occupied Nanjing?

How did they do it? The workload of building these basins is very high. It is professional engineers, which can only take three days to complete at the earliest, not to mention that cement still has time to set?

If they were given time, could they build a fortification made of steel and cement?

Leng Feng knew that when facing the Japanese army whose quality was far superior to his own, the national rescuer who was on defense could only find other ways to deal with it. If he fought hard, he was not an opponent at all, and he could only find a way from the position defense!

The construction of some underground firepower points is not very large, but the workload is a little larger. It doesn’t matter. We have many people and have more staff, which offsets the disadvantage of the workload.

As long as these underground castles are built and the Japanese army wants to go there, this will become a hurdle they must overcome. Moreover, this underground castle can also be used as an anti-cannon hole, which can be said to be a two-purpose for one castle.

Therefore, in the depth of the frontier, Leng Feng built such underground firepower castles at various nodes connecting the trench. On the one hand, it hides the firepower points so that the Japanese army cannot see it. On the other hand, once the Japanese artillery fire is covered and bombed, it can avoid it at any time, greatly reducing casualties.

In addition to underground, there are also semi-underground bunkers, this cold front is much more trouble-free and uses brick and wood structures, which is mainly used to confuse the Japanese army.

This kind of thing on the ground and the underground, and as soon as the war started, the Japanese army suffered immediately.

In fact, this is very simple. Anyone with combat experience can think of it, but it is not easy to do this. First of all, there must be two major materials, steel bars and cement. Cement is easy to deal with. There is a cement factory in Nanjing. It is hard to say how much steel is produced in the country every year?

This is also thanks to the Japanese. If they had not built a large number of steel bars, Leng Feng would have wanted to build these underground castles, and it would have been a good cook who would have no rice.

"Okay, okay, Lao Ju, you've fought very well, it's so big, don't expose the firepower points at once, your target will prevent the Japanese army from advancing quickly to the city wall. Yes, yes, casualties, I know that the Ninth Division is approaching the Zhonghua Gate, so pay attention to the Japanese army's roundabout attacks..."

"How are the casualties over Lao Ju?"

"The first battalion suffered nearly one-third of the casualties, and the Japanese army was roughly equivalent. He had already transferred the second battalion to the next battalion and had a meal and rest. The Japanese army would not easily admit that they had failed. I think they would launch an attack." Leng Feng said.

"Can you organize and raid it?"

"We just knocked down their heavy artillery corps and attacked Tangshan first. The Japanese army must be wary of this kind. This kind of thing must not be repeated. Besides, our target is not here." Leng Feng thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Well, for the Japanese, you have thought it through thoroughly. I want to learn from you." Qiu Qingquan said with a smile.

"The teacher is so absurd!"
