"Open the front line, we detour from the flanks. There will not be many armored units on the opponent. Except for the strong enough spearhead, the remaining parts will be easily dispersed. Our troops still have an advantage. Even if we use the sea of ​​people, we can definitely kill the opponent." When the news that the main force of the German army was sent to Akiyama Haogu, the father of the cavalry of the 6th Army of the Japanese army did not choose to retreat, but ordered the Third Division to block the opponent tightly, while the other two divisions quickly moved closer to him.&1t;/p>

At this time, you must never leave. If you really leave, you will be defeated without fighting. The only way is to take advantage of the Japanese army's relatively large army and attack from all directions at the same time, and to eliminate the opponent's attack power bit by bit. And Akiyama still believes that under normal circumstances, if you simply fight for infantry, the Japanese army will at least not suffer any losses. Because when artillery has no advantage, Japan relies on the continuous assault and flanking detour of infantry, and now he plans to recreate his glory!&1t;/p>

A large number of Japanese troops began to flock to the flanks. The Third Division went up first, and then Suzuki Takao's second division! The latter was smarter. While mobilizing troops, he concentrated his artillery and machine guns as much as possible. And Sochizu Tekanachi and the British were stepping up their crossings and then reorganizing their troops. The order given to him by Yoko Akiyama was that when both sides were stalemate, his troops would launch a fatal blow under the cover of British tanks. Even if the situation was unfavorable, the Japanese army was not unable to fight back!&1t;/p>

"Don't underestimate the German artillery level at any time!" This is a sentence that Akiyama Yoko repeatedly mentioned in the memorandum after the end of this battle.&1t;/p>

Major General Sekt of course knew that relying solely on infantry and a small number of armored troops could not stop the three divisions, and the infantry over five digits would charge repeatedly. One hundred people were filled with the mountains and fields! A small number of armored troops could not take into account the long defense line, not to mention that he could not throw the armored forces in his hand too much. He only had one armored battalion! He also needed to deal with British tanks. In a relatively open field duel, the chances were equal for both sides. He could easily open the Japanese front line, so under the leadership of British tanks, he was also in danger!&1t;/p>

When a large number of Japanese troops appeared in the German vision, when at a glance, Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms were connected into lines, rushing over like a tide, the German heavy artillery group that had not really shown their faces since the war started!&1t;/p>

According to normal organization, a German division has 14 artillery companies of all sizes! 2 15omm heavy howitzers companies, 4 to 6 1o5mm light howitzers companies are born, and the ones are born are 77mm firearm companies! One artillery company has 6 artillery companies, and the other artillery companies have 4 artillery companies, which means that a pure German division has up to 36 75mm guns, 24 1o5mm light howitzers and 8 15omm heavy howitzers! Such firepower is not to mention that the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War cannot compare with each other. Even now, except for the more outstanding legions within Germany, no fixed artillery of a foreign army of the same level can surpass this level!&1t;/p>

At this time, when British and French artillery were still playing simple artillery use, relying on the popular radio, field telephone, and aviation reconnaissance, the German 6th Army had already begun to use the decentralized arrangement of artillery and concentrated firepower strike method! Although the artillery was maneuvering in a company at least, it could be planned and tilted a large number of targets to a certain area at the same time in the shortest time!&1t;/p>

Major General Seckert concentrated two divisions to pass 100 guns of various caliber. These guns were maneuvered through tractors, tractors, and animal power. They were distributed between 400 and 7000 meters behind the attack front line. When the Japanese Third Division launched the first wave of gang-scale offensive, thousands of Japanese troops hit the Germans' tilted bullet rain!&1t;/p>

"A Japanese army is interspersing at the right wing of our attack axis, and will soon arrive at the Ad5 area, which is enough to be a regiment. The infantry on our flanks may not be able to stop them!" On a do11 two-seater reconnaissance plane, telegrams were sending the Japanese situation to the German command, and then transferred to the artillery through field phones. About fifteen minutes later, the ready-made German artillery began to conduct test fires, and after 3 minutes, they began to enter the active shooting!&1t;/p>

Every minute, several tons of ammunition poured into the target area. According to the pre-selected markers and the data provided by the aerial shooting, tons of steel flew through the air with the whistling of death, falling into the ground in the blink of an eye, bringing flames and death to the Japanese army caught off guard.&1t;/p>

"This is the most violent artillery bombardment I have ever experienced since joining the army. The earth shook in flames and explosions. My soldiers lined up in long formations and headed towards the battlefield. When they were about to reach the battlefield, a torrent of flames that extended from the horizon blocked our advance. A wall of flames and dust blew my troops into several shorts. Then they began to extend, chasing the soldiers who were running away in scattered like giants made of flames!" After the war, a Japanese corps captain recalled the situation at that time.&1t;/p>

The first round of attacks by artillery is always the most powerful. There is a saying that 70% of casualties were caused in the first few minutes of the shelling. The Japanese army and their weapons were wiped from the ground by a pair of flame hands, leaving behind craters and burnt land. Some broken limbs and wreckage were scattered. The continuous rolling barrage continued to extend to the rear, breaking the entire Japanese army in a corps into pieces.&1t;/p>

The shelling lasted not too long, only half an hour. After the first round of shelling, some artillery with a relatively close range began to move to the next firing position. According to the order just sent, they needed to support the offensive troops to launch a deep assault on the Japanese army.&1t;/p>

It is naturally easy to deal with two Japanese brigades with an armored battalion with several regiments, but when it comes into contact with the main force of the Third Division, the pressure suddenly increases by a level. Not to mention, thousands of Japanese troops rushed over in a row, which is still very frightening! Moreover, after obtaining the support of the Second Division, the Japanese army also accumulated some artillery. At this time, the Japanese artillery also began to carry out suppressive counterattacks, but due to the limited artillery level, the Japanese army fired more directly. Moreover, the number of artillery concentrated cannot be compared with the German army. After all, the artillery organization of both sides is arranged.&1t;/p>
