Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 440
The No. 14 Heavy Artillery Regiment, in the original time and space, was China's second heavy artillery force.

From the 14th Artillery Regiment to the [-]th Artillery Regiment, these two heavy artillery units never lost a single battle in large-scale battles on the frontal battlefield.

The first battle of the [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiment was the Battle of Songhu. In late September, the [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiment arrived at the front line and shelled the Japanese Racecourse Airport on the Songhu battlefield.

Two heavy artillery fired dozens of shells in 10 minutes, completely destroying the Japanese Horse Racing Hall Airport and becoming famous in the first battle.

This battle also let the Japanese troops on the Songhu front line know that China actually sent heavy artillery to participate in the battle, and Japanese commander Matsui Iwane even gave the Army Air Force a death order.

That is to destroy China's heavy artillery at all costs!
The establishment of the No. 14 Artillery Regiment cost 2000 million silver dollars, which is also a cost of 20 billion when converted into current RMB.

Two heavy artillery units cost 40 billion yuan. In China, which is poor and weak, the Nationalist government spent so much effort building up heavy artillery units that it almost emptied its fortune.

The [-]th Artillery Regiment rushed to support the Taierzhuang battle and achieved good results. In the original time and space, two rounds of heavy artillery shells destroyed the ammunition depot of the Setani Detachment, putting the Setani Detachment in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.

In the defense of Tongguan, the [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiment destroyed the Japanese vanguard force at Fenglingdu. The artillery fire of the [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiment completely suppressed the Japanese artillery.

Forced the Japanese army to strengthen Tongguan and failed, and won the victory in the defense of Tongguan!

In the Third Battle of Changsha, the [-]th and [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiments built artillery positions on Yuelu Mountain to provide condescending firepower.

It completely covered the entire Changsha City, allowing the little Japanese who broke into the city to suffer a devastating blow from the Chinese heavy artillery.

An infantry regiment of the Japanese Third Division in Baishaling was hit by Chinese heavy artillery fire. The Chinese infantry relied on the superiority of artillery fire to attack the Japanese regiment in Baishaling and annihilate them.

At the same time, the Japanese Third Division set up a front-line headquarters in Amiling, southeast of Changsha. It suffered a devastating blow from Chinese heavy artillery. Several Japanese officers in the headquarters were killed.

The division commander of the third division was not hit by artillery fire because he was out, leaving a dog's life.

The Third Division is not going well, and the situation of the Japanese Sixth Division is not much better. The Japanese Sixth Division is on the edge of the Xiang River in Changsha City, and its 23rd Regiment is under its command.

It was hit by heavy artillery fire from Yuelu Mountain, and the regiment suffered heavy losses!
The Japanese 10th Division, which rushed into the city, launched an attack on the [-]rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army and the [-]th Reserve Division near Xiangya Hospital.

Zhou Qingxiang, commander of the 10rd Division guarding the area, and Fang Xianjue, commander of the [-]th Reserve Division, requested heavy artillery support.

The [-]th and [-]th Heavy Artillery Regiments on Yuelu Mountain had already measured Xiangya Hospital as a landmark building before the war.

The two artillery regiments built cross-fire artillery positions on Yuelu Mountain. With their powerful artillery superiority, they destroyed the effective strength of the Japanese Sixth Division and forced the remnants of the Japanese Sixth Division to retreat.

In the victory of the Third Battle of Changsha, the two heavy artillery regiments played a significant role.

During the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the No. 14 Heavy Artillery Regiment participated, which strengthened the artillery superiority of the Fifth Army and allowed the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army to achieve a great victory at Kunlun Pass.

At the same time, in the counter-offensive campaign in 1944, the heavy artillery regiment also played a considerable advantage and successively dealt powerful blows to the Japanese troops in Nujiang and Songshan.

During the eight years of China's all-out war of resistance, the heavy artillery unit was unable to fire thousands of guns like the Japanese army due to limited conditions.

The heavy artillery unit can only be deployed to the front line with four or two guns. However, they also exerted their reputation as "the most important weapon of the country" to defeat the Japanese invaders and promote our country's prestige. They are worthy of the nation!

at the moment!

The arsenals in Sichuan Province are already able to manufacture Japanese Type [-] heavy artillery. Ning Dabiao believes that there will be more and more heavy artillery units belonging to the National Revolutionary Army.

Looking at the heavy artillery one after another, they have been set up on the position, and the long barrel of each heavy artillery is pointing towards the sky.

Ning Dabiao also felt a burst of emotion in his heart. The 150mm heavy artillery, this is the romance of artillery!
"Report to the head!"

"The heavy artillery is ready, please give the order, commander!"

Hearing this, Ning Dabiao's eyes flashed with light: "Okay!" "The whole group is here, follow my orders!"

"Target the Japanese ships on the river, fire five rounds... Get ready!"

"put!!--"

Following Ning Dabiao's order, the barrels of the 11 heavy artillery pieces of the No. 24 Artillery Regiment roared.

Then countless cannonballs hit the ship where Fujiwara Koji was! !

At this time, Fujiwara Koji received a report from the Marine Corps, and Colonel Shibata Yasuei stated that there were many Sichuan troops besieging Anqing City.

The two brigades under his command were now hit by powerful artillery fire from the Sichuan Army, especially the Sichuan Army's 105mm howitzers, which caused considerable damage to the Imperial Warriors.

The Marine Corps under Colonel Yasuei Shibata is not equipped with large-caliber artillery at all, only Type [-] infantry guns and mortars.

It's a bit difficult to deal with the Sichuan Army's 75mm mountain artillery. Now they still use 105mm howitzers for bombing.

How could the two brigades under his command withstand the torment? The moment they were hit by devastating artillery fire, Colonel Shibata Yasuei immediately reported it to Fujiwara Koji.

Then he led his own brigade to retreat, performing the task of leading the enemy into the bombing range of the Imperial Navy's fleet guns.

More than 2000 Japanese troops wanted to flee, and Zhang Yun and Zhang Zhenhan also received reports from the frontline troops.

This is the Japanese Marine Corps. Zhang Zhenhan's troops have fought against it before. He suggested to Zhang Yun: "Lao Zhang, let's do it!"

"These are more than 2000 little devils, we can't let them go!"

The troops under Zhang Zhenhan fought very painfully against the Japs tonight. When the Japanese attacked, they immediately called for Sichuan artillery support.

The 26th Army had never received such treatment before. The combat effectiveness of each soldier instantly exploded.

Now everyone is Lu Fengxian, and every soldier can fight ten!
These more than 2000 Japanese marines are well equipped with weapons, especially the Type [-] infantry guns and mortars in their hands.

The Sichuan Army may look down on this thing, but Zhang Zhenhan is curious that the 26th Group Army is essentially an expansion of the Hubei Army.

They belong to the local military system and lack decent artillery. The Japanese Type [-] infantry cannon and mortars are very advanced artillery.

"Old Zhang, are you interested in the weapons of these more than 2000 Marines?"

Zhang Yun joked, looking straight at Zhang Zhenhan with his eyes.

"Hehe!" Zhang Zhenhan smiled: "Isn't this why our 26th Army is poor?"

"Look, your Sichuan army is currently using Min-26 submachine guns, Min-26 general-purpose machine guns, M2 heavy machine guns, and the rifles are also Mauser 98K."

"I have found out all about the little devil's [-] big cover. You Sichuan army looks down on it. All the captured weapons are transported back to Sichuan Province and remade."

"You will still spend fuel and coal transporting them back to Sichuan Province. Let me, the 26th Group Army, take over this. I promise to annihilate all these 2000 little Japs."

Seeing Zhang Zhenhan's sincerity, Zhang Yun also nodded and said: "Okay, I have the final say on the weapons of these more than 2000 little devils, and they will all be given to your 26th Army."

Zhang Yun had already learned about Zhang Zhenhan from Adjutant Yu. He was a staunch war fighter and a die-hard anti-Japanese general.

After the Sichuan army captured the weapons of the Japanese army, they could allocate more Japanese-style weapons to Zhang Zhenhan.
