- "What happened to Zhendong this week? Why did you reduce the intensity of the attack?" Lu Shan was very angry. His current goal was to capture Longhua City. At this time, he was actually given a "died diarrhea". You can imagine the anger in his heart. Know.
"Maybe he has his own considerations, Lao Lu, now that the mission has been handed over, how to fight is a matter for the frontline commander, as long as we get the result!" Qin Shiyu hurriedly comforted Lu Shandao.
"Hmph, if we can't take down Longhua before dark, then let's replace him!" Lu Shan angrily punched the table!
"Don't be angry, come on, have a sip of tea and moisten your throat!"
"I'm not thirsty!" Lu Shan pushed the enamel cup out. The occupation of Longhua was related to the start of the entire plan. If the chain was missed here, the subsequent plans would be greatly affected.
"The Japanese army replenished a batch of weapons and ammunition before the exercise. The firepower was quite fierce. It was difficult for our troops to open a gap for a while. If they continued to attack, it would become a fueling tactic. Zhou Zhendong was thinking of ways to blast open a section of the city wall and then break through. Get in!" Zhang Zhongji walked in and explained.
"The Japanese were prepared for this. We can't blame Zhou Zhendong for this. It is the first time for the troops to fight such a critical battle. It is inevitable that they lack experience!" Qin Shiyu said.
"Is there no artillery to attack the enemy?"
"Yes, the existing artillery calibers of the 106th Brigade are relatively small. The Japanese reinforced the city wall after they occupied Longhua. If they want to blow open the city wall, the first is manual blasting, and the second is large-caliber artillery!" Zhang Zhong Ji explained.
"Large-caliber artillery?" Lu Shan frowned. It's not that Dongkang didn't have large-caliber artillery equipment. Yes, the 32nd Army has an artillery brigade. Equipped with thirty-two rapid-fire guns made in Germany, they were seized from the Fengtian Arsenal, but the distant water could not save the close fire. The Thirty-sixth Division was also equipped with many mountain guns and field guns, and formed an independent artillery regiment. However, It's also a hundred or ten kilometers away at the moment.
106 is equipped with twelve Type 92 infantry cannons, as well as mortars of varying numbers and calibers. This is definitely top-notch among the domestic military equipment, but now to attack the city, what is needed is artillery with large caliber and high power.
??????????????? And these artillery pieces can be used in mobile operations to set up bunkers and blow up firepower points, that¡¯s no problem. Once you encounter strong fortifications, this is no longer enough!
Of course, the Japanese army did not have many heavy artillery equipment, and they were reluctant to use them easily. The most powerful equipment of the Japanese army in Longhua City was the infantry artillery.
For the Chinese ** team, infantry artillery belongs to the category of heavy weapons. In the European Army, people simply look down on the Type 92 infantry gun. This kind of artillery only belongs to the category of light artillery. Only in China, which is outside the non-mainstream world, has it been infinitely magnified!
The Japanese army also uses the main equipment. It has also become one of the reasons for ridicule in European and American countries, as far as equipment is concerned. The Japanese army is indeed among the second and third-rate in the world. This is quite objective. Whoever allows the Japanese government to devote all its efforts to developing the navy will naturally squeeze out the army's development funds.
"Then the only way is artificial blasting?" Qin Shiyu asked.
"I asked, but they haven't given me a clear answer yet, but if you can't think of another way, is this the only way?"
"You can use earthworks to dig under the city wall manually and then blast it. This can reduce unnecessary casualties!" Lu Shan said slowly, "You can't dig a straight road, you have to dig a 'Z' shaped road!"
"This is a way, I will notify Zhou Zhendong immediately!"
"How far are the attacking troops from the city wall?" Lu Shan asked.
"The straight-line distance is about five hundred meters!"
"If we charge, it will take at least a minute to rush to the city wall, right?"
"Yes, if you include the terrain and the need to dodge Japanese bullets during the charge, it will take at least three minutes to reach the city wall in one charge!"
"How strong are the Japanese troops defending the city?"
"According to our estimates, there are about one brigade. After the battle losses, it is estimated that 70% of the troops are left. In addition, there are varying numbers of puppet troops and police involved in the defense. The total defensive strength is about Between one thousand five hundred and two thousand people!" Zhang Zhongji said.
"I understand, follow this order!" Lu Shan nodded.
"yes!"
"Lao Lu, there is still a gap between the combat effectiveness of the Thirty-sixth Division and the main divisions like the 181st and 183rd Division. We have to give them some time!" Qin Shiyu said.
"I know that they have not defeated the Japanese army in a real sense, and they do not have the psychological advantage, so they must fight this battle by themselves and build their own confidence!" Lu Shan nodded.
"The foundation of the 106th Brigade is still good,"?Believe in the commanders and fighters below! "
"If I didn't trust them, could I have entrusted them with such an important task?" Lu Shandao said, "Don't I know that a strong attack will cause heavy casualties, but an army cannot always fight clever battles and go with the wind, as this is not conducive to improvement. Their combat capabilities, the troops that can fight fierce battles are the real troops.¡±
"You, your requirements are too high. Don't you know what the foundation of these thirty-sixth division is?"
"No matter what background you have, as long as you are Chinese, and now you are fighting the Japanese and driving away the invaders, you have to risk your life for me. If you don't risk your life, I will risk your life for him!" Lu Shan said murderously.
"Look at you, are you feeling uncomfortable because you can't win the battle?" Qin Shiyu said, "If you want to go to the front line, you must first pass me!"
"Is it okay for me, the commander-in-chief, to inspect the forward positions?"
"It's not impossible, but it can't be done now. It's not safe if you really hit him. After the beating, you can go wherever you like. I won't stop you!" Qin Shiyu said.
"Okay, I can't argue with you, I'll go out and get some fresh air!" Lu Shan pointed at Qin Shiyu, unable to find a suitable reason to refute for a while, and shook his head helplessly.
"Dejue, follow Mr. Lu!" Qin Shiyu ordered, "This place is close to the frontier and is not very safe. We cannot let Mr. Lu go to dangerous places."
"Yes!" Dejue agreed.
¡°I¡¯ll just walk around the camp, and you¡¯ll send someone to follow me. I don¡¯t have any private space anymore?¡±
"Dejue is your bodyguard, so he should follow you."
Xiaotanggou Village.
"Commander Lin, this is the iron cannon you are talking about. It is probably hundreds of years old. Can it still be used?" asked the squad leader who came with Lin Fang.
"We have to see if it can be used. If it can be used, then it won't be a big problem for us to capture Longhua County!" Lin Fang said, "Come on, brothers, help us clear out the cannon!"
The superiors asked them to obey Lin Fang's orders. The squad leader could only call all the soldiers to get out the iron lumps and brush the dust on them with a broom to reveal the dark cannon body.
The rust on the cannon body is not too serious. It may be that the owner who put the cannon in the ancestral hall took good care of it. When you touch it, in addition to dust, there is a layer of black grease on it.
It seems that the owner of this artillery still hopes that it can return to the battlefield, which makes Lin Fang feel a glimmer of hope.
"The outside is so well-maintained, so there must be nothing bad inside. Otherwise, why would you put such an iron lump here to ward off evil spirits and control the house?"
I have never heard of anyone placing a cannon in an ancestral hall to ward off evil spirits!
"Commander Lin, there is another box of artillery shells here!" A soldier was rummaging around and discovered that there was still a box of artillery shells!
"These are solid lead bullets. Our goal is to knock down a gap in the city wall. They are useful. Clean them up and take them with you!" Lin Fang walked over and took a look. It turned out to be solid lead bullets, which are really useful for breaking down walls. suitable.
After cleaning and wiping, this large general cannon, which is almost a hundred years old, is presented to everyone.
"The first year of Xianfeng"
The nameplate on the gun mount has been blurred, and only a few words can be read clearly to determine the production date of this iron cannon.
Can the iron cannon from 80 years ago still be used?
Lin Fang himself expressed doubts. He checked the barrel of the gun himself and found that someone had greased the inside and sealed the barrel.
"Commander Lin, can this gun still be used?"
"I don't know either. How about we go out and give it a try?" Lin Fang didn't know either. After all, this thing is not easy to judge. It is an eighty-year-old antique. Even if it is maintained and updated, no one can guarantee the barrel. Has it changed over the years?
For ordinary people, it is really difficult to play with this eighty-year-old cannon. But for the army, it is not a problem to play with such an old-fashioned artillery. It has fuses and gunpowder. There¡¯s even no shortage of cannonballs or anything like that!
Lift it to an open area outside, feed the gunpowder into the barrel in proportion, then feed the cannonball in and ignite the fuse above!
Hiss
Seeing the burning sparks from the fuse entering the barrel, everyone subconsciously reached out and blocked their ears.
"Boom!"
An orange-red flame burst out from the muzzle, and a small black dot was pushed out and landed on the hillside no more than two kilometers away. It made a violent explosion, like an earthquake!
"Quick, go and see, what is the effect of the explosion?" Lin Fang excitedly called to the squad leaderA sound.
The squad leader was also excited and ran halfway up the mountain.
Lin Fang hurried forward to check the artillery. He first reached out and measured the temperature of the barrel. It was not very hot, just slightly warm. Then he checked whether there were any cracks in the barrel. After all, it was an old antique. It might disintegrate after one shot. It is possible!
"It's actually made of fine copper. No wonder it's so durable!" Upon inspection, Lin Fang discovered that the inner chamber of the artillery was actually made of copper. This was another big surprise. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty's national power was so strong at that time. There are still some.
"Commander Lin, there is such a big crater, it must be ** meters in diameter, and the crater is at least three meters long. It's really scary!" The squad leader ran back all the way to report after checking the power of the explosion.
"Quick, let's lift the cannon and go back!" Lin Fang was overjoyed when he heard this and ordered the soldiers to carry the bronze cannon onto the carriage and drive back together with the cannonballs. - Didn't finish reading?
