Bright Sword Military System

Kawada Qingwei is the captain of the special task force for the devils to attack Yanmen Pass. This special task force is specially prepared to break through Yanmen Pass.

This is Kawada Kiyoe's own opinion...Major General Ishihara asked Kawada Kiyoe to choose a suitable unit, and Kawada proposed such an organization without hesitation: one infantry brigade, two artillery regiments, one tank regiment, Among them, the infantry brigade is required to be carried by car, so that it can be quickly interspersed to Yanmen Pass.

The reason for this formation is that Kawada knew that it was meaningless to charge infantry on the dangerous terrain of Yanmen Pass.

"Our offensive should be based on artillery, suppressing the enemy's firepower and then using chariots to cover the infantry's charge!"

"It would be best if we could blow down the enemy's newly built city walls!"

"If you can't, then use the firepower of the chariot to cover at close range, and the infantry will use explosives to blow up the city wall!"

There is nothing wrong with Kawada's battle plan, and the siege should be fought like this.

If there is any room for improvement, it is to cooperate with the 103rd Division on the other side of Yanmen Pass to attack together, so that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army defenders can be dispersed as much as possible.

But Kawata thinks this is not important, because the so-called "coordination" means launching an attack at the same time... After hearing the sound of the artillery, they also fired and launched an attack at the same time. In fact, there is not much coordination.

Kawada is right on this, too.

Before the staff officer reached the radio station, he heard "Woo..." the whistling sound of shells, followed by a "boom" shell exploded in Yanmen Pass.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuan, who was immediately adjusted by the artillery, turned the muzzle of the cannon to the high ground, and "boomed" a burst of cannonballs and fired a piece of shells towards the high ground.

"Your Excellency!" the staff officer asked anxiously, "Are we going to join the war?"

Kawata believes that the real coordination should be the artillery covering the attack of the infantry and the tanks, and the coordination between the tanks and the infantry.

"Yes!"

Major General Fujiki is the head of the 103rd Division on the opposite side. For the so-called "coordination", Kawata has already contacted him.

Fujiki was so angry that he yelled "Wow!" He drew his command knife, pointed at the position on the high ground where the smoke was rising, and shouted: "Enemy artillery, fight back!"

"Order artillery observers!" Kawata ordered: "Let them carefully look for suspicious positions on the high ground on both sides. The enemy should have deployed artillery on the high ground!"

Although Kawata didn't find anything, the soldier's sixth sense made people feel a chill in his back. He immediately said to the staff: "Quickly, contact Major General Fujiki immediately, we should postpone the attack!"

Then something that shocked Kawada happened...

Major General Fujiki really thought that the small pass in front of him could not withstand so much bombardment, not to mention that there were friendly forces "cooperating" to fight on the other side, so he ordered all the artillery to pile shells into the city of Yanmen Pass...

The two armies were separated by Yanmen Pass. Although the situation of flanking Yanmen Pass put them in a disadvantageous position, it was not easy for the two forces to achieve coordination.

"Could it be!" said the staff officer, "The Eighth Route Army has turned its main force to the south gate to face the 103rd Division on the other side?"

There is a reorganized division at the south gate, and the Eighth Route Army is likely to concentrate its main force at the south gate.

Before the explosion at Yanmenguan was over, there were "rumbling" cannons from the high ground on both sides, and then the cannons became more and more intense, and you came and I fought back and forth very happily.

"What's going on?" Chuantian's expression changed: "The Eighth Route Army may not even have a single company!"

It can also be seen from this that Kawada has some skills, he is not like other commanders of the Devils who always play cards rigidly according to the routine.

The 103rd Division has only one artillery wing with 45 artillery pieces of various types. In addition, each artillery brigade is also equipped with two to three infantry guns and more than 103 infantry guns... This is because the [-]rd Division is The divisions stationed in Taiyuan, as the saying goes, get the moon first if they are close to the water. The Taiyuan Arsenal can produce artillery, so they are equipped with so many artillery.Otherwise, it is impossible for an ordinary Type B division to equip an infantry brigade with two or three infantry artillery.

The staff officer turned his head to look at Kawata, and Kawata shook his head helplessly to signal the staff officer to cancel the power generation.

Kawata was smarter than Fujiki on the other side. When he realized that the Eighth Route Army had deployed artillery on high ground, he planned to strike first... Artillery warfare is very particular about preemptive strikes, that is, knowing the enemy's artillery positions without revealing his position, and then A wave covering the past will cause heavy casualties to the enemy.

As a result, as soon as the cannons sounded here, the enemy's shells fell from the high ground before the second shell was fired, and they were fired so accurately that all the shells landed in the artillery positions, blowing people's heads up. The cannon was overturned, and several cars loaded with shells were also blown up to the sky, which was extremely tragic.

This is often the case in artillery battles. Whoever is exposed first will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Kawata listened carefully to the sound of the guns for a while, then frowned and said to the staff: "Wait!"

However, it was too late to contact at this time.

The imperial army on the side of the north gate has only one battalion of infantry and one tank regiment, and the two artillery regiments are deployed behind the Eighth Route Army, which cannot be seen.

Yanmen Pass is divided into North Gate and South Gate.

On the other side, Fujiki's 103rd Division was miserable.

But Chuantian thought for a while but shook his head and said: "Impossible, the Eighth Route Army has enough time to prepare, and they should have enough troops here. Even if the main force is turned to the south gate, there will not be only so few people on the north gate!"

"Yes!" The staff officer answered and went to generate electricity.

At this time, Kawata was standing on a Type [-] tank and holding up a telescope to observe the Yanmen Pass one kilometer ahead. He was surprised to find that there were far fewer enemies at the Yanmen Pass than he had imagined.

If the two separated forces insist on coordinating, they will be restrained and difficult to use.

There is some truth to what the staff said.

After hesitating for a while, Kawata turned the telescope to the high ground on both sides.

Hearing the words, the staff officer next to him also raised his binoculars and looked. Sure enough, as Kawada said, the muzzles of the guns protruding from the wall of Yanmen Pass were sparse, and even the Great Wall and the high ground on both sides could not see a few people.

Seeing that the position where the enemy artillery was located was engulfed in flames and smoke, the devil thought that at least a few artillery pieces at this position had been knocked out. Unexpectedly, there was a "boom" and the shells came down again...

This is the case with artillery with cannon detection radar. If the devil's artillery does not fire, the cannon detection radar will not be able to find the position of the cannon, but once it fires, as long as there are shells flying in the sky, the artillery detection radar can calculate its position. And immediately convert it into artillery sent to various positions by various elements.

Therefore, the more the Devil Artillery hits, the more it exposes the target, and then the more it hits, the less it hits.

On the other hand, the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army were all in the artillery fort, and there was nothing serious about it, except that some sand that had been kicked up had entered the barrel and needed to be cleaned up urgently.

The red-eyed Fujiki yelled angrily: "What is Kawata doing on the opposite side? Are they dead? Why haven't they fired!"
