Chapter 107： Tentative

"The essence of defensive warfare lies in mass destruction of the opponent's vital forces. Simply holding does not mean victory in the war! And if the opponent's personnel can be severely damaged, then the defensive warfare must be a victory."-Baron Schmidt

The Japanese artillery positions were able to live up to the official start, not because the Germans could not reach, nor was it to say that the German artillery was not enough to support long-range artillery battles. Of course, it was not because of the mercy of Baron Schmidt. Every Japanese had a reward. Too! No one will have trouble with money!

The fundamental reason is that Schmidt is afraid of scaring the Japanese! He has to wait until the Japanese army launches an attack to destroy the opponent's artillery position, and then rely on close-range machine guns and mortars, and long-range 75MM rapid-fire guns to harvest opponents cleanly! So he needs forbearance now!

The 12 wild cannons of the Japanese finally came into force. Accompanied by the intermittent sound of the cannons, a few sparse shells passed through the air, and then landed near the city wall. The Japanese wild cannons still used maroon gunpowder with muzzle velocity. It is low, and the rate of fire is too slow. It has little power to face the reinforced cannon nests. Of course, this is still after the hit. From now on, Japan can hardly hit the cannon nests deployed behind the raised part of the city wall. , The Japanese artillery ball trajectory is still too flat.

The signal of the Japanese infantry attack sounded the death knell for artillery. When the tide of Japanese troops launched an offensive under the cover of artillery fire, the rapid-fire artillery deployed near the city wall finally came off! Accompanied by a muffled sound, a ball of orange flame spouted from the muzzle, the barrel quickly retreated, and then quickly reset under the action of the gun mount, the tail opened, a brass shell was thrown out, and then a gunner would A 75MM shell was sent into the barrel, then locked and excited!

only had 6 artillery, but the projectile volume easily overwhelmed the Oshima Brigade with 12 artillery. In the first few minutes of each artillery, the average rate of fire reached 8 rounds per minute! The howling shells passed through the air, and a few seconds later, the Japanese artillery position in the distance was shrouded in flames and smoke. Violent explosions continue to come from the target area. Because of the pre-range measurement, the accuracy of the first round of shooting is good. The shells are almost evenly scattered in the target area, and a large number of equipment and personnel are scattered in a very short time. Shrapnel and flame kill!

When the firepower is intensive to a certain level, the time and ammunition required to destroy a position that lacks coverage can be calculated by mathematics. An artillery company of the Blue Legion tilts the deadly bullet on the target like a machine. Over the head, a bunch of artillery pieces were blown into fragments with dense shrapnel, sweeping down the soldiers in pieces. Flames and gunpowder that herald death rose from behind the position.

The flames and gunpowder on the rear position enveloped the attacking Japanese army like a cloud of clouds. At this time, about half of the Japanese army had rushed to a position less than 300 meters away from the target, which was the kind of distance that can be rushed down with more effort! Under the intimidation of the officers and surrounded by their colleagues, the Japanese launched the first wave of attacks on the position! A large number of soldiers began to sprint, and some soldiers took up their rifles and started shooting!

With a creak, a Japanese soldier felt like he had stepped on something under his feet, and when he lifted his foot in a little surprise, a death sickle made up of hundreds of steel **** swept across his feet. In just an instant, the steel **** caught this The poor guy's lower body was completely shattered! Then passed through the broken body of this soldier thinking of the Japanese army caught off guard and flew away!

In an instant, there were several huge gaps in the Japanese army's front that was rushing forward like ocean waves. The anti-infantry directional mines deployed at the forefront caused the Japanese to suffer for the first time! The remaining people stepped on the mutilated limbs of their comrades on the ground to move on. They howled to suppress the fear in their hearts, rushing towards the opponent like a beast, hoping to overwhelm the opponent with the bayonet in their hands!

"The Japanese? They rushed into the traps of hunters like a group of wild boars. They tried to use their bravery to overwhelm the steel, but the facts proved that they had piled up a pile of corpses in front of our position and sent us a large sum of money. There is no use other than silver!" A German soldier commented on the Japanese army after the war.

Japan, who was on the battlefield for the first time, was not as brave and brave as later generations! After being swept by a sudden steel storm, morale was greatly reduced, and many people were ready to retreat. The rest of the people continued to attack, but facing the Japanese soldiers who were already afraid of being defeated, the Germans didn't even use machine guns. At a distance of 200 meters, the powerful rate of fire of the new semi-automatic rifle easily overwhelmed the opponent!

The German shooter with the new KA92 semi-automatic rifle in his hand can fire a rain of bullets from a 200-meter rifle that is enough to block the opponent’s attack. With 20 rounds of large magazines, the firepower of the KA92 rifle can be almost 6 shots. Send a rifle! Many Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by the dense fire net just as they burst out of the gunpowder smoke! A soldier even shot up a large magazine in half a minute!

The Japanese’s first attack lasted only more than 20 minutes and was repelled. The speed of victory was beyond Schmidt’s expectation. However, this round of attack killed only more than 300 Japanese soldiers. If not for the loss of 2 to As far as the important artillery company is concerned, for the Oshima Brigade, the loss of UU Reading www.uukánshu.com is not too big!

"This... is simply unimaginable!" Looking at the artillery positions that have been plowed by artillery shells, Oshima Yoshihashi's face was gloomy, the morale and the pride of the soldiers accumulated from the successive victories in the Korean War. Was beaten back to their original form in an instant, the Japanese, who thought they were good at war, were as weak as children in the face of the real army's first power. Only the first tentative attack was removed by the opponent's sharpest fangs. Artillery, how can this battle be fought? Let the soldiers brave the opposing artillery force?

When Oshima was a little hesitant, the two Japanese troops from the center and left wing also reached the foot of Jiulian City. Kataro faced Nie Shicheng, Liu Shengxiu and the Russian army north of Jiulian City, while the troops of Li Jian Shangwen and Oshima Yichang faced To the German army under Jiulian City, the entire Japanese army clamped the walnut of Jiulian City like a giant pincer! The real battle is about to begin!

"My artillery will be responsible for providing fire protection, but in order to prevent being destroyed by the opponent's artillery, we must put the artillery behind. The key to the real solution to the opponent is the infantry! I believe that if the elite infantry of the two brigades is used to attack, it will always be possible. Tear off the opponent's line of defense, right?" After knowing the situation, Li Jian Shangwen said to Oshima Yoshihatsu. The two sides agreed that one brigade would have two brigades at a time, and then attack in turn!

"General Kataro's third division will attack the Qing army. If nothing else, their flanks will soon collapse, and then cooperate with us to take the nine cities!" And when he heard that Kataro was already in place, Oshima Yoshihide finally Mustered up the courage, ready to launch a decisive offensive against Jiulian City!
