Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 333

 The perspective returns to the main battlefield, the howitzer position of the 110th Division.

 Boom, boom, boom!

Deafening firing sounds sounded one after another, and the twelve Type 91 105 howitzers continued to output at a rate of six rounds per minute. The overwhelming momentum was quite spectacular even from a distance.

 At the same time, the observers of the artillery regiment were also actively active.

The Japanese changed their positions from time to time, trying to guide the artillerymen to correct the most suitable shooting points, and strive to kill the Eighth Route Army artillery positions outside Datong.

 It's a pity that reality gave them a loud slap in the face. The above-mentioned behavior is destined to be a blind man lighting a lamp in vain.

“Your Majesty Colonel! The enemy's position is very deep, and it's obviously under the guidance of professionals.”

“Our long-range firepower is seriously insufficient, and it is almost impossible to completely suppress the Eighth Route Army's artillery. The current results have reached the limit of the regiment.”

After the report, the Japanese staff officer lowered his head and stood at attention, assuming a posture of being beaten.

Unexpectedly, his immediate superior did not get furious as before, but instead nodded calmly.

This is not that Haruji Taniguchi suddenly changed his character, but that the current situation was completely within the old devil's expectation.

  The 105mm howitzers of our own regiment do have an advantage in terms of performance, and can even beat the Eighth Route Army with a range difference of two to three kilometers.

But now each artillery team lacks the most critical field of vision. In a sense, it is no different from a blind man. The shells fired are more likely to make the opponent throw a mouse.

If this were placed in the Minsk Shipyard or the health bar world, it would be equivalent to the sudden death of one's own enemy vehicle or expulsion at the beginning.

With no field of vision, units that can deal damage can naturally only draw their swords and look around in confusion. The limit is to blindly fire a few shots at an area where there are suspected enemies.

If it can interfere with the enemy's shooting rhythm or force the Eighth Route Army to move its position, it will be a great tactical victory.

“It's okay, let the Type 91 105mm howitzer continue to fire at the current frequency. We have brought a lot of artillery shells this time, and we have plenty of time to play with the enemy.”

“After my order, the mountain and field artillery immediately switched fire and focused on opening up attack channels for the 108th and 133rd Brigades, so that the infantry could launch a charge in fifteen minutes.”

Hearing this, the staff officer immediately picked up the phone and started assigning tasks.

The entire artillery regiment is divided into two with a clear division of labor. One part conducts artillery battles to suppress the opponent as much as possible, and the other part uses full firepower to destroy the defenses in the north of the city.

As rounds of shells streaked across the sky, Haruji Taniguchi sighed to himself.

This situation made the staff officer on the side full of questions. After a while, the Japanese major who was not afraid of death took the initiative and said:

 “Your Excellency, Colonel, you seem to be in a bad mood?”

“I don't understand what could cause you trouble. After all, judging from the current overall situation, our division is the dominant side.”

As soon as he said this, the old devil glanced at the other party as if he were looking at an idiot.

As an artillery commander who worked his way up from the grassroots level, he had just estimated the number of the opponent's 75mm barrel guns through the computing power he had developed on the battlefield.

 About fifty gates.

 This number has far exceeded that of ordinary Class B divisions. Even the Class A divisions ranked at the bottom do not have such firepower.

 What's more, several years of war have exhausted the military potential of my younger brother's country. Now the entire army's weapons production capacity is slightly weak, especially large-caliber heavy artillery, which is extremely difficult to replenish.

 As for the speed of research and development of new weapons, it is extremely slow.

The Type-1 self-propelled artillery that has been given high hopes by the base camp is a small-caliber self-propelled artillery that was badly played by European powers. It has been struggling for more than two years and still cannot produce an early test vehicle. It is simply embarrassing to industrial countries.

Looking at the Eighth Route Army, its artillery firepower has caught up from behind. It has a vague demeanor of a great power, and its war potential is bottomless.

 Leaving aside the huge number of French field guns, the 120 mm mortars that have recently emerged cannot be underestimated.

 Although mortars were originally designed to follow infantry to support infantry, they were not very suitable for artillery duels. But when fighting in mountains with a range of nearly eight thousand meters, what is the difference between it and mountain artillery?

With their numbers alone, they can blow up the Type 94 mountain cannon.

Our only advantage now is the Type 91 105mm howitzer and some large-caliber old-fashioned artillery left before the outbreak of the war.

 Besides, who can ensure that the Eighth Route Army does not have larger caliber barrel guns?

According to the current development of the situation, there may be a spectacular scene of the Schneider M1929 105mm howitzer fighting against the Type 91 105mm howitzer in the future.

what is this?

 Dad spanks his son? Or face the tauren?

“In this battle, we must eliminate the Eighth Route Army entrenched in various parts of Jin Province.”

“This is not only related to the face of the Army, but also the trend and development of our country in the next few years.”

"The enemy's war potential is really terrifying. If we allow them to continue to develop, it will undoubtedly be a recipe for disaster. I have always had an ominous premonition that the enemy is likely to use a 105 or even 155 mm weapon next year."

As soon as these words came out, the staff officer on the side immediately fell into deep thought.

Even now, he still doesn't understand where the other party came up with so many artillery pieces.

Mortars are okay, after all, this craft can be regarded as an analogy. Soldiers who can fight 60mm mortars can use 120mm mortars with a little training.

 The cannon cannon is completely different. To use it proficiently requires the integration of multiple subjects, which cannot be achieved in a short time.

 Is it possible?

 The Eighth Route Army also has a professional artillery school?

 “That's it, focus on taking down Datong first, otherwise everything will be in vain.”

“You should contact the 108th and 133rd Brigades and ask their infantry to search for enemy artillery positions as much as possible during the charge. If those field artillery and mortars are not dealt with, there will be endless trouble.”

"Hi!"

Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound came from the southwest sky.

Although Haruji Taniguchi has not yet seen the specific target, he has already foreseen what will happen next as he has experienced the battlefield.

  The old Japanese soldier went straight to the command room without saying a word, took the phone from the hands of the communications soldier and began to give orders.

“Everyone, stop shelling! Mountain and field artillery squadrons, bring ammunition and move their positions immediately! The howitzer positions are hidden on the spot, and all orders are carried out according to the pre-war plan!”

“Contact the anti-aircraft artillery brigade and ask them to take the initiative to fire to attract the attention of enemy aircraft! Buy time for our regiment to retreat!”

"Baga! What the **** is the Army Air Force doing? Didn't that Heijiang Baoyan promise that he would definitely contain the Eighth Route Army's air force in the next few days?"

 In fact, the Army Aviation of the North China Front has done its best. In order to prevent the ground troops from being bombed during the offensive, they dispatched nearly 500 sorties in just two days.

It is a pity that both the newly appointed Michio Sugawara and Yasuhiko Kuroe underestimated the determination of the Eighth Route Army to protect the people.

If you dare to attack unarmed civilians, you will not stop fighting!

 In this battle royale with great disparity in strength, Army Aviation exchanged for the short-term safety on the ground at the cost of thirty-five fighter planes. After severely damaging the enemy, the Eighth Route Army's air force can naturally free up more energy to support friendly forces. The first batch of liberated combat capabilities was the close support aircraft fleet.

 In the sky, sixteen Typhoon fighter jets entered the battlefield from the southwest of Datong.

They had a clear goal, as if they were equipped with a full map hanging, and headed straight for the artillery position behind the 110th Division.

“Follow me to the first squadron to kill the Japanese 105 howitzers. The second and third squadrons will deal with the enemy's mountain and field artillery. After dumping all the ammunition, they can leave the battlefield on their own.”

“The fourth squadron is on standby to guard against enemy anti-aircraft artillery units and fighter jets.”

“Everyone keeps in communication throughout the whole process. If you have any discoveries or accidents, report them to me at any time. Action begins!”

"receive!"

 After arriving in the combat airspace, the radio silence was lifted, and Fang Ziyi immediately assigned tasks to each formation.

 A moment later, the air force comrades, in groups of four, launched a dive towards the Japanese artillery position. Coupled with the Typhoon fighter's unique chin-type air inlet, the momentum is not to mention how ferocious it is.

 After reaching the bombing height, the Typhoons suddenly pulled up the nose and began to climb.

Four 227-kilogram aerial bombs landed on the 105 howitzer position without any suspense. The Japanese who were still dreaming about artillery doctrine instantly suffered numerous casualties.

 The "precious" howitzer was turned into parts and molten iron splashing around, becoming a murderous weapon for the master.

This thing is not the frontal armor of the Yamato main turret. It will basically "melt" when encountering unreasonable aerial bombs.

Those deep pits dug according to the regulations are like open urns at this moment. The attack from the opposite ground licking machine could only barely collect some of the dusty remains and parts.

The soldiers who came to support the Datong battlefield this time are all the elite backbones of the future Air Force 2 Division, and each of them has a soft spot for close support.

 Talent and sweat have resulted in a three-for-four shooting rate. The only one that missed the target also caused a lot of casualties.

"Huh?"

"Why didn't you die in the explosion? Where did the little devil hide the shell?"

 Obviously, Fang Ziyi was a little dissatisfied with the results of the attack just now.

Although he killed a 105 howitzer with one shot, the spectacular scene of detonating the ammunition depot did not happen.

 A moment later, the Typhoon fighter jet numbered 192 began to dive again, this time targeting an artillery position that it thought was successfully disguised.

 “Dong dong dong!”

The dull sound of western artillery sounded, and the camouflage cloth on the ground was torn into large holes, with a lot of pieces of meat and blood flying out.

As a ground-licking machine with excellent performance, the Typhoon has four 20mm Hispano cannons, each with an insane 120 rounds of ammunition.

 Under the blows of four Vulcan whips, the artillerymen of the 110th Division went to see the Locust one after another.

 In a sense, those Japanese who died on the spot were considered lucky. After all, there was nothing more desperate than lying in pieces of meat and waiting to die.

 Machine guns are not yet the main dish of this attack.

 The rockets that followed were the gifts carefully prepared by Fang Ziyi for the enemy.

As the owner of the fighter plane pressed the launch button, the red sun, which was enough to pry open the forehead of the Tiger tank, flew towards the position below. The North China Eagle's performance was still stable, with four rockets divided into two groups and hitting the target area.

 “Boom!”

 As a man who aspires to be like Rudel, Fang Ziyi has a good quality of being consistent.

 It was a mistake to miss your ammunition depot just now. Now just use more difficult rockets to make up for it. It will definitely make the devils below worth the price.

Since you are risking your lives to join in the fun, I have to give you a grand burial.

 In order to support the 26th Division and the Cavalry Group, the 110th Division carried multiple bases of artillery shells.

Although not all of these ammunition are placed in the position, the unused portion on site can definitely be used by the three lieutenant generals to put a big bomb that is not inferior to the third-type incendiary shotshell.

Looking at the masterpiece of his team leader, a pilot from Shanxi said excitedly:

 “Fang team! You are really awesome.”

“No one in our Air Force can replicate the crisp and precise rocket launch just now with more than five fingers.”

“I now understand why Principal Chang and Captain Wang chose you to be the commander of the Second Division. Just this double attack on the Japanese's mind and body will be enough for me to learn for a lifetime.”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ziyi in the cockpit smiled and shook his head.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he is a good young man and he has no habit of killing his enemies. The main reason is that the bodies of the Japs are too fragile and cannot even withstand an aircraft cannon or a rocket.

During the conversation, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of his team members.

That method is exactly the same as mine, even a layman can tell that the two come from the same school.

 “My dear comrade, you are the real floor licking wizard!”

 When the entire 105 howitzer position suffered a devastating blow, the anti-aircraft artillery unit at the rear belatedly began to counterattack.

As the strongest B division of the Guard Command, the 110th Division has a complete range of anti-aircraft weapons, ranging from the small-caliber Type 96 artillery to the large-caliber Type 99 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

When the comrades in the Air Force were about to launch another dive and use the remaining ammunition to launch a fatal blow to the enemy, an anti-aircraft fire network composed of black clouds appeared in the sky.

Although the Typhoon was originally used by the Eighth Route Army as a close support aircraft, its speed is not at all slower than the fastest fighter aircraft of the current era.

Showa anti-aircraft can't even hit the boss of Hawker's three winds. It's even more impossible to kill Typhoon with anti-aircraft guns.

“Fourth Squadron, your target has appeared, give us at least one minute.”

“Just keep one-tenth of the artillery shells, aerial bombs, and rockets, take action!”

 After receiving the order from the team leader, the four Typhoon fighter jets took action immediately. Relying on their own speed, they gracefully passed through the anti-aircraft barrage composed of black clouds.

Under the control of elite pilots, the fighter planes are as agile as falcons, and can even seize the opportunity to straf the ground with Western artillery. (End of chapter)
