Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The battle continues.

As the first brigade of Japanese tanks continued to advance, the divisional artillery regiment of the Fifth Division finally took out its trump card: the Schneider M1929 155 plus howitzer.

Our giant beasts come to support!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these big pipes are what men should shoot. Compared with them, the most precious 105 melons and 105 plus are just children's toys."

"Be prepared for battle! Our bombardment time is only 15 minutes. We must support our comrades on the front line as much as possible."

"But when the time comes, everyone must withdraw from the battlefield according to the original plan. There are not many 155mm howitzers in the entire military region. If anything happens, I will be heartbroken to death."

Before the attack officially started, the commander of the artillery regiment of the Fifth Division was admiring his treasured heavy artillery battalion with relish.

Although this battalion is not currently at full strength, its nine 155mm heavy howitzers can definitely be regarded as a devastating weapon on a plain battlefield.

In terms of lethality alone, it is definitely much stronger than the Shire 2C heavy tank.

What do the devils have?

It is nothing more than the Type 91 105 grenade belonging to the artillery wing of the division.

This thing is indeed very powerful on the Asian battlefield. It can take advantage of most of the artillery of the Central Army and the main local troops.

But if you were to sit at the same table with the Eighth Route Army artillerymen and play Beast Chess, it would be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of range, sustainability, and power.

There is no way, the division-level firepower of 105+155 has reached the average level of the European battlefield. After a while, Desan's western front troops may not be able to maintain this level of firepower.

It’s not just a circle, but we have to force ourselves into it. Needless to say, the fate of the bookkeepers is needless to say.

When it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, just as all the soldiers in the heavy artillery battalion were gearing up, the divisional correspondent arrived on time with good news.

"Captain! Division headquarters is calling!"

"The division commander requires you to fire immediately and push back all the infantry who are cooperating with the Japanese armored forces in the attack!"

As soon as these words came out, the commander of the artillery regiment immediately became energetic. Comrades train hard in normal times, just to be able to play a decisive role at critical moments.

Thinking of this, he took the command flag from the starter without hesitation.

"Attention all battalion! Target No. 107, the enemy is following the infantry! Scale 356, direction 0-50 to the left, ten rapid fire shots!"

"Load! Prepare!"

"put!"

As the artillery command flag fell, nine Schneider M1929 155 plus howitzers opened fire in unison.

At the moment of firing, flames surged from both sides of the muzzle brake.

Dust was flying on the battlefield, and the ground seemed to have sunk a bit. Comrades can only feel the tremors in their bodies, as if they have experienced a dragon turning over.

The cannonball flew at high speed, making a clear and sharp whistling sound.

They drew arcs in the air, and finally landed in the path of the Japanese infantry's attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

If you compare the projection amount per unit time, the 155 mm M1929 is definitely not as good as the 105 mm M1935B. This gap cannot be overstated to describe it as being too close to a horse.

But in terms of the power of a single shot, the former is really more powerful than the latter.

What's more, the Schneider 155 grenade has been systematically strengthened. Its absolute killing radius, effective killing radius and maximum killing radius have all been improved, almost reaching post-war levels.

Coupled with the firepower bonus of the nine rapid fires, the Japanese infantry within the target range of No. 107 were directly killed and injured, and dozens of them were killed by the shock alone.

"Oh my God, is this the power of a heavy howitzer? If dozens of 155mm howitzers fire at the same time, even the gods will not be able to hold it back!"

On the Jiaolai Plain, about two kilometers away from the Japanese chariot brigade, an anti-tank gun loader stared at the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, dumbfounded in horror.

For him, who has lived a hard life for several years, a division-level heavy artillery such as the 155-mm grenade is still a bit exaggerated.

Also shocked were the other soldiers in the platoon.

However, in comparison, the platoon leader's performance was much better. He was seen moving quickly in the trench with his waist bent, reminding the soldiers in each squad one by one to be ready to engage the enemy.

"Don't just watch the show. The Japanese tanks are about to jump over the wall. We can't take away the ammunition. Let's start fighting for a while and try to kill a few more Type 97 tanks."

"By the way, remember to keep your ears up. No matter what happens on the battlefield, the rally call must be the order."

"As soon as the horn sounds, retreat immediately!"

"yes!"

······

Behind the first brigade of Japanese tanks, Tamada Miiro's Type 97 command vehicle. Looking at the scrapped light and medium tanks around him, as well as the Eighth Route Army defense forces that had almost no major losses, the old Japanese sighed quietly.

"Is this what people in the Republic of China felt like back then?"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered five years ago.

Thinking back to those days, they also relied on large-caliber heavy artillery as the vanguard, clearing the way with artillery fire and breaking through, and finally captured countless cities in the Republic of China.

What a glorious day it is to have more flowers and be invincible.

But now, Tamada Mirou just feels that the whole world is crazy.

An ordinary division-level unit of the Republic of China can withstand the attack of its own brigade with the help of fortifications and various artillery.

Looking at the entire combat history of Japan's brother country, this is the first time that such an outrageous thing has happened. Such a huge sense of gap almost made him mentally unbalanced.

However, on the battlefield, every second the frontline commander is stunned, the casualties of the attacking troops will increase. Thinking of this, the old devil forcibly cheered up and ordered:

"Pass me an order to have the artillery tank squadron launch smoke grenades immediately. We can no longer allow the enemy's anti-tank artillery to fire unbridled. We must create opportunities for the main force to advance."

"Also, let those disjointed infantry catch up as quickly as possible! They are mobile infantry, how can they be slower than the third-rate soldiers of the garrison division."

"After the mobile artillery wing is in place, the entire brigade will immediately launch a general attack!"

As a mature armor commander, Tamada Mirou could see at a glance the Eighth Route Army's tactical goal, which was to use the advantage of artillery fire to disconnect the armored troops from the infantry.

In the open plain, the enemy has deployed defensive fortifications, but our own side has no bunkers available.

In this case, if I lead the first brigade of tanks to attack the mesh position rashly, even if I can win, it will definitely be a trade-off that outweighs the gains.

Thinking of the Eighth Route Army's endless anti-tank rocket launchers, the old Japanese's scalp went numb.

He has always been paying attention to the European Eastern Front, and he knows that even the Tiger heavy tanks of his allies cannot withstand a close-range shot, and the Asian No. 4 of their brigade will definitely be broken at a touch.

As for reversing, or turning around and retreating?

This option was not in Tamada Mirou's plan at all. After all, no matter how fast the armored troops were, they couldn't move faster than artillery shells.

If you use tactics to rush forward, you still have a chance to fight. If you expose your back to the enemy's artillery, you will only die. Reality is not World of Warships, and there is no such thing as dragging swords in land battles.

While the old Japanese was waiting anxiously, the artillery tank squadron of the First Tank Brigade finally arrived at a safe firing position.

These murderous weapons of decisive battle once allowed him to regain his confidence and courage.

"Quick! Fire immediately!"

"Target the enemy's defensive position. Shoot out all the smoke grenades to cover the attack of the two tank regiments."

"Hi!"

In modern warfare, mobility is one of the key factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.

This principle was taken to the extreme by Desan in the European battlefield. Naturally, the Japanese, who were also the eldest brothers of the Axis Powers, also understood, so they developed a type of self-propelled artillery.

This artillery tanker is based on the chassis of the 1997 Chinese War and is equipped with a 75mm field gun. Its overall combat performance is similar to that of the early Santu. It is a secret weapon prepared by the Japanese Army for the No. 1 operation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Along with the shelling of ten Type I self-propelled artillery pieces, pieces of smoke instantly rose from the battle area and the Eighth Route Army's position.

The white smoke obscured the view of the observation post, suspected anti-tank gun positions, and many firepower points, causing the pressure on the first tank brigade to drop sharply during the march.

With this rare opportunity, Tamada Meilang quickly issued the order for a general attack on the communication channel.

"The artillery tank squadron has fired all the smoke bombs. Success or failure depends on this! The first tank brigade and all the crews charge towards the Eighth Route Army's position!"

"What a black card! Onboard!"

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese commanders stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. Nearly a hundred 95 light combat vehicles and 97 medium combat vehicles emitted black smoke and rushed straight towards the plain ahead.

When life and death were at stake, they did not care about the life of the engine. After all, no one knew whether they could survive.

The infantry following behind also worked hard. Some squadrons abandoned heavy weapons in pursuit of speed, and even took the initiative to take awakening potions.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tamada Mirou, who attacked with the large army, vaguely saw the dawn of victory.

Because the Eighth Route Army's firepower seemed to have suddenly become much weaker.

"Yes, there must be something wrong with the enemy's ammunition reserves. The Twelfth Army and the Eleventh Army have blocked the Longhai Railway. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army in Shandong Province to have enough ammunition!" (End of Chapter)
