Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 121 Type 91 105mm Howitzer and Two Artillery Squads!

Ikeda Kenjiro heard the words and said: "Your Excellency, General, I am asking Your Excellency the Commander for the support of large-caliber artillery. I am afraid that Your Excellency the Commander will not be happy.".

"There's nothing you can do if you're not happy."

Taro Miyamoto looked helpless, and said: "After all, even if it is the next counterattack, Qian Bojun will be able to go west and attack Heyuan County, and successfully captured Heyuan County.".

"However, the Huting stronghold and other places require the imperial army to conquer the solid positions defended by the 303rd regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army under the cover of large-caliber artillery. With the 40-type infantry artillery currently in our brigade's hands, plus The Type [-] infantry artillery in the hands of the [-]th Infantry Regiment and the Yamazaki Battalion cannot form the greatest advantage in artillery fire even if they are concentrated and bombarded."

"In this way, it is necessary to need larger caliber artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery fire. Right now, we can only ask the Commander to add some large caliber 105mm howitzers to support us."

Ikeda Kenjiro said in a condensed voice: "It's just Your Excellency General, Your Excellency Commander will definitely not be happy then."

"If you're not happy, don't be happy!"

Taro Miyamoto waved his hand and said to Kenjiro Ikeda: "Mr. Ikeda, in the name of Taro Miyamoto, send a report to the headquarters and report to Your Excellency Commander that we need 105mm howitzer support.".

"Right now, above the brigade, only the division is equipped with 105mm howitzers."

"This matter can only be reported directly to the headquarters and His Excellency Commander, and request for additional support from large-caliber artillery."

Seeing this, Ikeda Kenjiro understood Miyamoto Taro's decision, and even after the 40th Infantry Regiment finally arrived in Jinghai County.

The rest of the Fourth Brigade, the Yamazaki Brigade and the 40th Infantry Regiment, the largest caliber artillery attached to each department are all 70mm Type [-] infantry artillery.

Although there are twelve in total at that time, it looks like a lot, and it is already the size of two artillery squadrons.

However, the artillery fire was not strong enough.

Facing the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army, it also has the advantage of large-caliber artillery. Among them, the two 75mm mountain guns that have been confirmed have already suppressed the Type [-] infantry guns in the hands of the imperial army.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent has a secret weapon capable of throwing explosives, the artillery advantage of one's own side is no longer very strong, and it still looks a little weak.

But what Ikeda Kenjiro didn't know was that Xu Rui's 303rd regiment now had more than just the two 75mm mountain cannons that were accidentally seized from the warehouse in Heiyunzhai.

Instead, with the addition of the four 75mm mountain guns seized from the rebels of Qian Bojun, there are actually six 303mm cannons in the hands of the 75rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

In terms of artillery fire, the 303 regiment is not weak now.

Ikeda Kenjiro thought, then nodded and said: "Yes, Your Excellency General.".

"Inaba-san, immediately polish it according to the general's wishes, and send a report to the headquarters, requesting the commander to add 105mm howitzers to support our department."

Seeing this, Major Inaba Jiro, the Communications Staff Officer of the Fourth Brigade Headquarters standing aside, said heavily: "Yes, Chief of Staff."

"Wait!"

Miyamoto Taro suddenly stopped Inaba Jiro, and said to him: "Send a report to the headquarters and transfer our 105mm howitzers, preferably more than two 105mm howitzers.".

"Understood, Your Excellency the General."

Jiro Inaba paused heavily upon hearing the words, then turned around and returned to the communication room, and ordered the Devil's communication soldiers under his command to send a report to the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

Three or four minutes later, in Taiyuan City, in the communication room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

"Toot, tick tock, toot tock!"

As the radio in front of a devil rang, the devil's communication soldier immediately put on earplugs to record the radio signal.

A few minutes later, the deciphered encrypted radio telegram was immediately held by the devil's communications soldier in the communications room of the devil's first army headquarters, and reported to the communications staff officer, Major Beijun Junyi.

"understood!"

After receiving the report from the communication soldier, Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, who glanced at the contents of the telegram, immediately spoke to the Devil's communication soldier under him, then walked out of the communication room, and asked the chief of staff Gong Gong who was in the command room of the headquarters. Major General Nodoichi reported.

"Chief of Staff, the Fourth Brigade is calling."

After standing at attention and saluting, Kitamura Junyi reported to Major General Miyano Michiichi and handed over the telegram.

Miyano Michi frowned when he heard the words, did something happen to the Fourth Brigade again?
However, after receiving the telegram from Junyi Kitamura and reading it, Miyano Michiichi felt a little relieved inwardly, it was not as if something happened to the Fourth Brigade.

"You send someone to invite Your Excellency Commander to the command room of the headquarters."

To transfer the large-caliber 105mm howitzer to the Fourth Brigade, an order from Shinozuka Yoshinan was needed.

After all, this kind of 105mm howitzer is usually an independent heavy artillery wing, or exists in an artillery wing attached to a division.

In the hands of the Fourth Brigade, there is no large-caliber 105 howitzer.

As for the deployment of this 105mm caliber howitzer, Shinozuka Yoshino needs to know. After all, there are several divisions in the hands of the First Army, as well as an independent heavy artillery regiment. The 105mm howitzers in it are not everywhere.

Yoshinan Shinozuka must report this matter.

Kitamura Junyi stood upright and said: "Yes, Chief of Staff." Then he immediately turned and walked away, and then sent someone to invite Shinozuka Yoshinan to the command room of the headquarters.

It was only around 35:7 in the morning, and six or seven minutes later, Shinozuka Yoshinan came to the command room of the headquarters belatedly.

"Commander!"

Seeing the old devil Shinozuka Yoshinan enter the command room of the headquarters, Major General Miyano Michiichi immediately saluted Shinozuka Yoshinan.

"Ok!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, and then said to Miyano Michiichi: "Miyamoto Taro sent a report to the headquarters again, requesting additional support from the 105mm caliber howitzer?".

"Yes, Commander!"

Michi Miyano nodded, and said: "The Fourth Brigade called the headquarters and asked the headquarters to dispatch more than two 105mm caliber howitzers to reinforce them.".

"The current artillery of the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army has 75 mm calibers, and it has suppressed their range and artillery fire against their Type [-] infantry artillery."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan read the telegram handed over by Miyano Michiichi.

There was no sign of anger afterwards, but he just asked Miyano Michiichi: "The divisions and regiments under my First Army, and the artillery of each independent heavy artillery regiment are equipped with 105 howitzers.".

"Can the artillery regiment closest to Jinghai County, or the division, send a 105mm howitzer to Taro Miyamoto?"

When Miyano Michiichi heard this, he knew that Yoshino Shinozuka had agreed to allocate large-caliber howitzers to Miyamoto Taro.

Therefore, Miyano Michiichi immediately looked at the map on the table in the command room of the headquarters, and immediately said to Shinozuka Yoshinan: "Commander, the 20th Division closest to Jinghai County can send 105mm howitzers to the nearest Taro Miyamoto."

"How many doors can be adjusted?"

Yoshino Shinozuka asked directly.

"According to the content of Miyamoto Taro's call, Miyamoto Taro needs more than two. In the 20th Division, four Type 91 105mm howitzers can be transferred to Miyamoto Taro for use."

Miyano Michiichi said.

"That's the number of artillery pieces for two artillery squads!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan heard the words and said.

"The commander said so!"

Miyano nodded, and said: "And now, give the order to the 20th Division that the four 105mm howitzers can be pulled to Jinghai County by truck one day before the 40th Infantry Regiment arrives in Jinghai County.".
