"Actually, even if we two soldiers change their opponents and one soldier, they can't hold on first, right?" Qiushan Haogu thought in his mind. He had overestimated his opponent as much as possible.&1t;/p>

"Don't the British have tanks? If it was night, it would be difficult for us to obtain tank firepower support." Teraunuchi Sukaku still missed the British mk1 tank.&1t;/p>

"Don't expect the British tanks. They only equipped us with one battalion, about 36 tanks. If the British tanks were really so easy to use, then he wouldn't be pushed here by the Germans." Akiyama Yogu was quite disgusted with these expensive guys who had high maintenance requirements. This reminded him of the hardships of being a cavalry unit. A cavalry must have at least half a veterinarian's ability to take good care of those four-legged friends, and what about the British tanks? They are even more troublesome!&1t;/p>

"But what should I do with the German tank? The opponent's foot is more than ten kilometers deep. It is very difficult to carry the heavy 75mm guns and 57mm guns in the mud for several kilometers without delaying the fighter planes." Soichi Teraunuchi asked.&1t;/p>

"Let us give it to our infantry, prepare more cluster grenades and molten bottles. We have an absolute advantage in military strength, and it is not a problem for the Germans to have a small number of tanks." Akiyama Yogu said.&1t;/p>

"So what to do with those strong defense points? According to the French experience, these defense points need to be approached with a 155mm howitzer before being shot flat before being killed. If we let them go, our breakthrough will be a little small." Teraunuchi asked the last question.&1t;/p>

"So, our troops must be divided into several small teams. In the night environment, the efficiency of small troops will be higher. Since one hole is not enough, then run a few more. A large team, or even a squadron can independently penetrate deep into the German position. Then, destroy and kill as much as possible!" Akiyama Haogu thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>

No matter how well the commander's plan is, he still needs the grassroots officers and soldiers below to be strong. Relatively speaking, Yoshigu Akiyama believes that the Japanese soldiers are still very offensive. When the opponent is caught off guard, causing chaos and a break in the battlefield is definitely the only way to collapse the defense line. Therefore, after blocking the Germans' potential heavy artillery advantage at night, he decided to hand over the rest to the grassroots officers of the Japanese army.&1t;/p>

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War was quite good, and even the most picky French officers and soldiers could give a comment that was at least appropriate. Although some of these Japanese soldiers have been discharged for a while, they worked hard to prepare for the night attack authors and tried to bring heavy weapons that they were not very familiar with.&1t;/p>

The French 75mm cannons were a bit heavy in their eyes. Apart from the start of direct aiming and shooting, it was difficult to follow the troops. The 57mm cannons, 47mm naval cannons and mortar cannons provided by the British were the favorites of the Japanese. In order to reduce the weight as much as possible, they removed the shield of the cannon and chose a monopod in the shooting industry because it was lighter. The French assigned some tractors to the Japanese, and the Japanese were also ready to use them. Of course, they mainly rely on manpower and a small amount of animal power.&1t;/p>

There were 3 divisions in total attacks, among which the second division of the Japanese Expeditionary Army commanded by Takao Suzuki. The Japanese division commander was from an artillery and served as the captain of the artillery corps in the Russo-Japanese War. He still has a certain understanding of how to shoot artillery correctly. He believes that a good artillery is a good artillery, either you have an advantage or you have mobility!&1t;/p>

Adhering to this principle, he first concentrated the 1o5mm howitzers and 155mm howitzers belonging to the division were used as key assaults. At the same time, he reduced the number of 75mm cannons in large quantities, and instead exchanged the French for a large number of short-barreled howitzers. The length of the 75mm cannons was about 361, which was considered a cannon in 1 battle, and cannons would inevitably mean a larger weight under the same caliber.&1t;/p>

Suzuki Takao finally got a short-barrel cannon with only 12 times the tube, and its structure is very simple, more like an infantry cannon. The weight of this cannon is only more than 4 kilograms after removing the shield, and it can even be easily split and transported. Its height is less than 1 meter, and it can be easily covered by the terrain. Moreover, the elevation angle of this cannon is very large, with a maximum elevation angle of 55 degrees, which can be used as a mortar to some extent.&1t;/p>

Of course, although this cannon is very light and has tricky angles, it also has some disadvantages. One is that the shell is too light and weighs only 3.5kg. It is not powerful enough. On the other hand, the range is too close, and the maximum range is only about 18oo meters. Because the barrel is short and the injection is less, the initial level is also very low. Even if it is shot flat, it is just a simple civil fortification. There is no way to cover the log roof and add rammed earth bunkers.&1t;/p>

But no matter what, at least the problem of artillery followers was solved. For this reason, Suzuki Takao also believed that his artillery firepower was enough to assault, so he gave the British armored troops that were originally given to him to friendly forces. According to his words, it would be better to be on the right track for a long time. I don't expect these tanks to work at night. During the day, maybe I have captured the German positions, so naturally I don't need these guys anymore.&1t;/p>

As for Utsumiya Taro of the Third Division of the Japanese European Expeditionary Army, he believed in the infantry in his hands. As a wing captain who besieged Lushun Fortress with infantry during the Russo-Japanese War, he was touched by the close-range firepower of machine guns and semi-automatic rifles. The Russian naval officers and soldiers concentrated a large number of semi-automatic rifles and Maxin machine guns at a distance of about 30 meters, causing his wing to suffer more than half of the casualties! For this reason, he firmly believed that the bullets at mid-range distances were more terrifying than shells.&1t;/p>

Although the French did not equip a large number of semi-automatic rifles, they provided quite a lot of machine guns, so the major general ordered half of the Shaosha light machine guns in the division to be concentrated for the assault troops, and organized a special grenadier team to assist in the assault. According to his words, at the first time from the enemy on the opposite side, drown the opponent with a large number of bullets!&1t;/p>

In short, the Japanese division responsible for the attack each had their own plans and practices. Teraunuchi Suzuki believed that the British tanks would bring him good luck, and Takao Suzuki made precise arrangements for the artillery. Utsumiya Taro strengthened the firepower of the infantry. After arranging everything, all the Japanese officers and soldiers were a little nervous and looked forward to the arrival of the attack moment.&1t;/p>
