Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

It turned out that this time the main force of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan had all gone out in full force, leaving only two garrison brigades. No wonder they couldn't even organize a decent counterattack after fighting for such a long time and were wiped out, Lin Tian thought after looking at the news of the complete annihilation of the enemy's organization in the system reward.

After the troops cleared out the remaining Japanese forces in the city, they opened the prison and rescued many Chinese soldiers and innocent civilians who were imprisoned by the Japanese.

When the people in the city heard the gunfire gradually subside, the brave ones cautiously ran to the streets. As a result, they saw that there were already patrols of the Eighth Route Army on the streets. The people were so happy.

They sang and danced, and ran around to tell others that Taiyuan had been liberated.

This is truly a time of sweetness after bitterness. After being slaves of a conquered country for several years, everyone's backbone has been bent, but today we can finally live as Chinese citizens with dignity.

After hearing from the soldiers of the First Division that they would hold Taiyuan and repel the Japanese reinforcements, the people were even happier, as if a huge rock in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.

Everyone was worried that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to hold on and would have to retreat after this battle, leaving Taiyuan City unguarded. The Japanese would surely come back and everyone would be ravaged by them again.

This is good. As long as the Eighth Route Army is stationed here, they will have light above their heads.

The soldiers of the first division had already cleaned up the battlefield and started to reinforce the city defenses, especially the city wall that had just been breached by artillery and bombers, which needed to be reinforced urgently.

So the men, women, old and young in the city spontaneously came to the city defense with tools and food. The Eighth Route Army was here to rescue them, so they had to lend a hand no matter what.

Liu Wu and his men did not stop their fellow villagers because time was indeed urgent. Needless to say, the Japanese reinforcements were already on the way, so they had to speed up.

Lin Tian continued to check the system rewards.

The rewards include 34 T-85/60 medium tanks, DTM machine gun ammunition, and 85mm tank gun ammunition.

Reward ocean. 】

The equipment rewards for major generals and major-generals were similar to before, which was not surprising to Lin Tian.

But those two lieutenant general commanders were different from the lieutenant general commander of the 36th Division of the Japanese who had been killed before.

Lin Tian's scalp tingled when he saw this.

After all, the commander-in-chief of a lieutenant general is above the army, and is much more honorable than the commander of a lieutenant general division.

Although they are all lieutenant generals, the commander is indeed the immediate superior of the division commander. The status is different, and the rewards are also different.

What surprised Lin Tian even more was that the system still ranked Yoshio Shinozuka as the commander-in-chief of Lieutenant General.

And the captives are also counted. From the perspective of rewards, the reward for Yoshio Shinozuka and Saburo Shouqi is 50-50.

But Lin Tian didn't know that Yoshio Shinozuka had been reappointed as the commander of the First Army. However, before the order was sent, the Japanese headquarters was razed to the ground.

Lin Tian looked at the reward from the Lieutenant General Commander and was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

This is a level higher than the reward for an ordinary lieutenant general.

Not to mention, this time he was given 6 Iowa-class battleships, plus the previous ones, Lin Tian has 11 Iowa-class battleships alone, more than the Americans.

Another thing is that this time, a domestically-produced heavy artillery, the Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer, was revealed.

Lin Tian is quite familiar with this cannon, which is nicknamed the Domestic Heavy Hammer.

This cannon was the main cannon of the Chinese army when they defeated the Vietnamese Monkey King and the Third Brother. It has been so severe that the Vietnamese Monkey King has not recovered yet.

These were serious heavy artillery pieces, 200 in total, and the Japanese were no match for them.

But Lin Tian still opened the introduction of weapons and equipment and started reading it.

[Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer, total weight 5720kg, ammunition caliber 152mm, maximum range meters, maximum rate of fire 6-8 rounds per minute, combat conversion time 3 minutes, gun crew number 9 people.

The Type 66 152mm howitzer cannon is one of the main cannon howitzers of the Chinese army. It was produced and finalized in 1966. The gun is a copy of the former Soviet Union's D-20 152mm howitzer cannon, with a high range and lethality. The gun has played an important role in many wars such as the Sino-Vietnamese War and the Sino-Indian Border War. At present, the gun has been gradually replaced by new cannons, but it is still widely used in the Chinese army. 】
