Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 448

　　　「If I don't say too much, I'm a big fool.」

“Heavy artillery with a caliber of not less than 150 mm?”

“Or a large-scale artillery group with hundreds of guns?”

Hearing the above two keywords, Onodera and Noboru's expressions suddenly became extremely solemn. He expected that the Eighth Route Army would be brutal, but he never expected that the other party would be so arrogant.

Is gun steel free of charge?

We are also from the Republic of China, and steel factories in preserved fruit have closed down in droves. Why can't your Eighth Route Army use up all the steel? I really want to kill people with cannonballs!

That is the firepower equivalent to several independent heavy artillery brigades!

Using such a campaign-level offensive method just to deal with an infantry unit at the level of a second-line brigade? Don't you really think it's overkill?

However, surprise nonetheless, the old devil's fighting spirit was not defeated. He quickly adjusted his mentality, and then ordered the communications staff beside him:

“Quick! Notify the frontline troops”

Before Onodera and Noboru finished speaking, they were rudely interrupted by a thunderous sound.

In the air, only curved ballistic trajectories were seen, extending towards the defenses deep in "Magino".

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The cannonball hit the ground and exploded, sending out a shower of fiery trees and silver flowers.

Under the watchful eye of the top Japanese troops in Jiyuan, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire became more and more intensive, and the targets of the bombardment gradually spread from scattered small dots to a bright sea of fire.

Such a magnificent war picture made the old devil completely understand the gap between ourselves and the enemy.

“Damn, it's really a large-caliber heavy artillery! This kind of projection is really **** good!”

“This group of trash, Tekko, actually allowed the enemy to amass hundreds of heavy artillery pieces without knowing it. What use do I want from you!”

There is a story. As the first batch of senior commanders to land in the Republic of China, Onodera Kazuki's personal resume is quite rich.

At the peak of his military career, he had participated in many large-scale battles with several Class A divisions. Naturally, he knew that heavy artillery had the ability to determine the outcome of a war.

In the current situation, the old devil immediately realized one thing, that is, he was in big trouble.

The various types of fortifications on Jiyuan's first line of defense are basically laid out according to the power of the 105mm artillery. During previous experiments, they were not directly damaged even if they were hit head-on by artillery shells.

Can now.

The enemy's shelling has exceeded the protective capabilities of the defense line. If it is not suppressed and eliminated quickly, the gateway to northern Henan will soon be occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

This will greatly affect subsequent combat plans, and the above situation must not be allowed to happen.

At the thought of this, Onodera and Den forced themselves to calm down. While all the staff members were stunned, he quickly issued the combat order.

“Inform the frontline combat troops and ask them to find the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery positions at all costs. They must get the specific coordinates!”

"Contact me again at Xinxiang Airport and order the Army Aviation to dispatch all the fighter planes at hand! Even if the enemy's artillery cannot be destroyed, we cannot allow the other party to output it unscrupulously!"

“Finally, report the current situation truthfully to Lieutenant General Shigeta Tokumatsu and First Commander Dohashi, and request tactical guidance from the two generals!”

"Hi!"

Considering the safety of the command system, after passing out the combat orders one by one, the old Japanese hurriedly led the staff to start the transfer.

When he arrived at the underground bunker, he slumped down in a chair and began to curse the Navy Red Deer incessantly. At this point, Onodera and Noboru do not hate their direct superiors who sent them to the front line, but they are full of resentment towards their theoretical allies.

“Baga, if the navy's Wulu fleet hadn't taken up too many resources, how could the Japanese army's army have lost to the Republic of China army in terms of firepower!”

“We are bleeding and sweating for His Majesty Locust in a foreign country, and we don't even have three thousand artillery pieces above 105 mm. They are living in a sea hotel and drinking imported coffee, but the gun barrels on the warships are getting thicker and thicker.”

“If the money for building Yamato and Shuanghe could be given to the army, the Republic of China would already be in the pocket of my younger brother!”

In fact, the army in this book has few artillery, so we really can't blame the navy for grabbing resources.

Thanks to the special matching mechanism of the Asian battlefield, before the Eighth Route Army has officially risen, large-caliber heavy artillery is not absolutely necessary when the Japanese fight against any army in Asia or in Asia.

Even against Marshal Mai, the Type 92 infantry artillery at the brigade level and the 75mm mountain and field artillery at the regiment level are enough to adapt to the intensity of the war.

What's more, the infrastructure of the Republic of China was already very backward, and the vast majority of roads in various provinces were made of dirt and gravel.

Once the rainy season arrives, the mud on the road can reach tens of centimeters deep. Any artillery weighing more than two tons is basically impossible to pass.

The Japanese are not the Eighth Route Army. They have never had the tradition of building roads first and then fighting, and building roads wherever they fight.

All of the above reasons have resulted in the current embarrassing situation that the entire Twelfth Army has no heavy artillery available.

Onodera and Noboru's orders were quickly passed on to the forward positions. At this time, the artillery commander of the ManchuriMongolia Development Youth Regiment completely lost the confidence in the preparation stage.

Under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the artillery brigade commanded by Kobori Takeshi suffered heavy losses in personnel, and more than 60% of the equipment was destroyed without even firing a shot.

What is even more sad is that due to the gap in range and performance, they can only hide in the fortifications and tremble, with no way to fight back.

Since the infantry did not have an advantage, there was no chance of winning in the artillery battle. The battle seemed to have turned into a stalemate from the beginning.

With the helpless mentality that those who can't kill me might as well just kill me, Kobori Takeshi directly ordered the observation balloons behind him to take off.

The commanding vision, coupled with the superb observation skills developed by the elite observers, allowed the Japanese to quickly discover the approximate location of the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions.

No matter how concealed the hundreds of large-caliber artillery are, the earth-shattering sound of firing cannot be concealed, not to mention it is still daytime.

“Discover the location of the enemy's heavy artillery group.”

“Bearing xxx, distance.”

Halfway through the reporting period, the Japanese observers suddenly stopped moving.

This inexplicable turn of events made the squadron leader below who was waiting for the data extremely anxious.

After losing air supremacy, the observation balloon launched alone is basically a living target, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army Air Force opposite is known for its elusiveness.

Without this balloon, at least half of their artillery brigade would be blinded in the subsequent battle.

“Your Majesty Lieutenant, distance is not important anymore! I saw the enemy's armored forces!”

“Huh?” (End of this chapter)
