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

Chapter 407 Range of Eighteen Kilometers!

When Miyano Michi heard this, he said with solemn eyes: "There are not many Type 150 [-]mm field cannons attached to our First Army. Now we have transferred three of them to Seishiro Itano for use, right?"

"I understand what Miyano-kun means."

Shinozuka Yoshinan walked to the table where the map was placed in the command room of the headquarters, pointed to the map, and then said to Major General Miyano Michiichi: "Mingjia Town is under fire from the enemy's 105mm howitzers on the north bank of the Nanliu River. within the scope of coverage."

"Even if Banzon Seishiro gets the support of eight Type 97 medium tanks next, and the tanks rush to the south of Mingjia Town, they will be covered by the enemy's 105mm howitzers captured from the imperial army. The armor of the Type 97 medium tank , can't stop the shelling of the 105mm howitzer!"

When Major General Miyano Michiichi heard this, his face suddenly became solemn.

Yinan Shinozuka was also right to worry. The enemy army must have surveyed and mapped the terrain around Mingjia Town.

As long as the enemy army conducts an advance measurement of the bombardment of Mingjia Town and its surrounding terrain, even if their Type 97 medium tank suddenly appears, it will be bombarded by the enemy's 105mm howitzer, and the hit rate should be very high. of.

And there are only eight Type 97 medium tanks for Banyuan Seishiro, and the number is actually not many.

Thinking of this, Miyano Michiichi wondered why Shinozuka Yoshinan would suddenly withdraw three of the Type 89 150mm field cannons directly under the headquarters for use by Itazon Seishiro.

This is to suppress the twelve 36mm howitzers captured by the enemy from the 105th Division of the Imperial Army!

"Commander."

After thinking it through in his mind, Michi Miyano nodded, and said with a serious expression: "I see, the Type 89 150mm field cannon has a range of eighteen kilometers.".

"The distance from Mingjia Town to Zhenting City is more than 20 kilometers, but from Jiujiangpo to Mingjia Town is only about [-] kilometers, and a little further north, where the Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion, which were re-controlled by the imperial army, are located. The two mountains are only seventeen kilometers away from Mingjia Town."

"Our Type 89 150mm field cannon can shoot from here to Mingjia Town remotely."

"This is definitely a heavy artillery threat to the enemy's 303 regiment and other enemy forces."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, and said, "Miyano-kun, what you said is absolutely right, that's what I mean.".

"With the cooperation of the large-caliber 150mm heavy artillery and the tank of the Type 89 medium tank, it will be very easy for Seishiro Itazono to launch a northward counterattack from Zhenting City."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan suddenly laughed and said, "If Xu Rui and other enemy troops continue to defend Mingjia Town, they will be hit by long-range artillery fire from our Type 89 150mm field cannon."

"Taking Mingjia Town, it will be very easy for Seishiro Itano to do it."

Michi Miyano nodded, and Seishiro Banzono got the Type 89 150mm field cannon, and the effect would probably be much better than that of the Type 97 medium tank.

"Commander, then call out three Type 89 150mm field cannons to Seishiro Itano."

Miyano Doichi then laughed.

"Um!!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, and then said to Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters standing beside him, "Call Itazon Seishiro back, and say that you already know about the safe rescue of Nishizono Palace."

"Let Itano Seishiro send someone to send His Highness back to Taiyuan City by transport plane tomorrow morning. This is my order. If His Highness doesn't obey, I will just make a hard order. I will plead guilty to His Highness in Taiyuan City at that time. In addition Let us transfer three 89-type 150mm field cannons to him, and tell him about the decision to strengthen the suppression of the enemy's 105mm howitzers."

Major Kitamura Junyi paused heavily and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"correct!"

Calling Kitamura Junyi, who was about to turn around and return to the communications office of the headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshinan thought for a while and said: "After the three 89-type 150mm field cannons are in place, and the time to launch the northward counterattack is decided, report to the headquarters first. , The counterattack troops can only set off after receiving my order."

"Understood, Your Excellency Commander."

Kitamura Junyi Shao Zorton stood upright for the first time.

"Well, let's go!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

Major Kitamura Junyi said, then turned and left.

"I hope Seishiro Itazon will give us good news next time!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the map and said to Miyano Michiichi: "The battle has been fought until now, and the enemy's 303rd regiment, which has eaten up countless elite troops of the imperial army, has not lost anything.".

"Commander, don't worry."

Miyano Doichi comforted: "The 89-type 150mm field cannon is so powerful that it is no problem to suppress the twelve 105mm howitzers captured by the enemy from the imperial army.".

"At that time, Banyuan Seishiro, who went north to counterattack, should be able to quickly take Mingjia Town, and then fight all the way across the north bank of the Nanliu River, and then kill Jinghai County, until the enemy's 303 regiment first captured Heyuan. county seat.".

Shinozuka Yoshinan said: "I hope."

Four or five minutes later, the radio sent by the Devil's First Army Headquarters was intercepted by the Devil's communication soldiers at the Devil's Frontline Headquarters in Zhenting City, and they translated it.

After being embraced by the communications soldiers under his command, Major Tachibana, the communications staff officer of the Devil's 41st Division, rushed to the two old devils, Seishiro Itano and Taro Takeshita, head of the division, with a telegram, "Report to Your Excellency General, the Division Commander, the command has called back, and here is the telegram."

"Um!!!"

Seishiro Itazono and Taro Takeshita nodded.

Among them, Itabazon Seishiro was the first to take the telegram from Major Kazuo Tachibana.

Seeing the back, Itano Seishiro's expression was joyful.

Seeing this, Taro Takeshita, who was watching from the side, immediately asked: "Mr. Banyuan, so happy, what is this at the headquarters?".

Saying that, Takeshita Taro pointed to the telegram in Itazon Seishiro's hand.

Itabazon Seishiro handed the telegram to Takeshita Taro, then heaved a sigh of relief and smiled: "The headquarters asked us to send the rescued Xiyuan Palace back to Taiyuan City by transport plane tomorrow morning.".

"The second good news is that based on our original request for support tanks, the headquarters took the initiative to transfer three 89-type 150mm field cannons to us! When we counterattack, we can suppress the twelve guns in Xu Rui's hand. A 36mm howitzer seized from the 105th Division of the Imperial Army."

Hearing this, Taro Takeshita, who had received the telegram and hadn't read it yet, saw his eyes brighten.

"Your Excellency, Commander, that's great!"

Taro Takeshita said happily: "The Type 89 150mm field cannon has a maximum range of eighteen kilometers.".

"This is far longer than the 105mm howitzer with a range of seven or eight kilometers, which is enough to suppress the twelve 105mm howitzers captured by Xu Rui from the imperial army."
