Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Faced with this result, the commander of the puppet army must have been overjoyed, mainly because he had too many blood debts on his body and dared not surrender at all.

The second captain's face looked a little uncertain, but he did not raise any objection. Now the situation could only be decided one step at a time.

On Li Yunlong's side, when the time came, he immediately ordered the artillery unit to open fire and continue to bombard the enemy's fortifications outside the city according to the coordinates calculated in advance.

The situation of more than 30 heavy artillery pieces firing at the same time was something that not only we had never seen before, but even the puppet army and the Japanese had rarely encountered it.

After all, according to the organization, the artillery concentrated by our troops is almost the size of an artillery regiment, which is the artillery belonging to an enemy division.

At the same time, a 120mm heavy mortar shell, loaded with 1.5 kilograms of high explosives, has a killing range of more than 30 meters. The simultaneous firing of six artillery pieces can easily destroy a large area of trenches defended by the puppet army.

This operation stunned the puppet army. To be honest, they had never encountered such a fierce artillery bombardment since they surrendered to the Japanese.

A platoon of puppet troops at the forefront was completely wiped out after being hit by twelve heavy mortar shells. Even a small Japanese squad mixed with the puppet army company was hit by one shell, and basically few of them survived.

This proves that in the face of heavy artillery, no matter how strong the individual combat capabilities of the Japanese soldiers were, they were actually no different from those weak puppet troops. This can be regarded as another kind of equality for all.

According to our pre-arranged battle plan, heavy mortars would bombard the infantry in the enemy trenches, and 75mm mountain guns would bombard the enemy's bunkers in the open.

Although our artillery technology is still lacking, we have many artillery pieces and no shortage of shells. We can aim and shoot slowly and leisurely, and train our artillery technology at the same time.

Of course, this is also a special case. It was also thanks to Kong Jie's previous use of superior firepower to destroy all of the Japanese regiment-level mountain artillery and kill all the enemy's artillery by the way.

The captain Yamabe who escaped back, no, it should be the captain of the regiment Yamabe. In order to stabilize the situation in Wen County, Shinozuka Yoshio temporarily promoted this lucky guy Yamabe to be the captain of the regiment.

Even if Captain Shanbian opened the armory in the city and pulled out the mountain cannons, without those well-trained artillerymen, they would basically be of little use.

Even the artillerymen of the Type 92 infantry artillery squadron that previously belonged to the Yamabe Battalion were completely wiped out in the artillery battle some time ago. After all, it was difficult for the artillerymen to escape when facing the covering bombardment of large numbers of heavy artillery.

What's more, during the subsequent retreat, there was no effective division of labor at all. Only those who ran fast could survive, which also led to the fact that there was no artillery in Wenxian City at present.

To be able to operate mountain artillery skillfully, the requirements for artillerymen are very high. Ordinary soldiers probably can't even handle the aiming equipment, let alone aiming and firing.

This was also the first time that our artillery had an absolute advantage when facing the enemy. Both the artillery skills and the number of artillery were overwhelming.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese positions outside the city were immediately engulfed in flames. The huge bunkers were also hit by our mountain artillery shells and collapsed, killing several puppet soldiers in the surrounding area.

I guess the Japanese never dreamed that they would suffer such a large-scale artillery bombardment while building fortifications. In the Japanese stereotype, this was simply impossible.

Especially those seven-story bunkers, which have countless firing holes. Just one of them can control a large area. If the Eighth Route Army relies on light infantry to attack, they will face a large number of light and heavy machine gun fire. Even if an entire regiment suffers casualties, they will not be able to get close.

At the same time, there are other large bunkers around that support each other. It is difficult for our large troops to get close and they are easily hit by side fire.

As for artillery bombardment, when we were building our positions, a main infantry regiment was considered a main force regiment if it had one mortar. At that time, the entire military region had only two Type 92 infantry guns that lacked ammunition. They were extremely shabby.

This kind of large bunker can completely withstand the attack of the Type 75 infantry gun, unless an artillery regiment with a gun of mm or above can be dispatched. This is why the Japanese want to rely on more than a thousand people to defend the county town.

But there are always unexpected things. We didn’t expect that our siege troops actually had an artillery regiment. This was a complete tragedy for the Japanese.

Several other regimental commanders were watching the fireworks on the enemy's position with binoculars in the front-line command post, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

The binoculars they wear are all produced in the industrial zone and distributed uniformly by the logistics department. Their performance is much better than those captured from the Japanese. At present, all commanders above the battalion level are in place, and even some special company-level combat units are equipped with binoculars.

Kong Hao's next step is to develop a telescope with slightly inferior performance, similar to the ones used by Japanese lieutenants, to equip company and platoon leaders.

There is no way. There are too many company and platoon leaders. If we still insist on using high-performance telescopes, the production capacity will be a bit behind. Besides, the company commander basically manages more than a hundred people, and the combat area is very small, so using inferior telescopes doesn’t matter much.

As for equipping the squad leader with binoculars, forget it. No country's army can afford it, unless it is a special operations team.

The increase in the number of telescopes in the army will obviously improve the strength of the army. In the past, we had to pay a huge price to seize a pair of telescopes from the enemy, but now it is completely different.

Captain Wang saw a lot of flames coming out of the enemy's position, and he could even see through the telescope that some Japanese soldiers were blown into the air by the blast generated by the exploding shells. After falling down, they turned into pieces of rags and died a miserable death.

He exclaimed loudly, "This is truly exciting! Our troops were often bombarded by the Japanese before, and we always had to find ways to dodge. I never thought we'd have this privilege one day, standing at the command post and leisurely watching our artillery fire on the enemy."

Captain Su also took the opportunity to echo, "I never imagined that our troops would one day be able to launch such a large-scale artillery attack on the enemy. It really feels a bit like a lifetime ago, but I have to say, this feeling is really very pleasant."

At this time, Captain Gong frowned and asked, "Li Yunlong, I just counted and it seems our artillery has fired five rounds, a total of one hundred shells. We should stop the artillery and let the infantry go, otherwise we will really become a loser."
