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

In addition, the artillery company commander must carry out effective and accurate bombardment of enemy positions based on actual conditions on the battlefield. At the same time, he must command his subordinates to adjust the artillery firing positions in a timely manner according to the instructions of his superiors to ensure the maximum bombardment effect.

Then there is observing the enemy situation on the battlefield, coordinating with friendly forces, and collecting intelligence, etc. These alone cannot be trained in a short period of time and require a long period of practical experience.

This is just shooting at fixed targets, using mountain artillery to bully the Japanese outside the range of the enemy's Type 92 infantry gun. Once an artillery exchange of equal strength occurs, the artillery commander will need to make decisions on the spot based on experience. It can be said that an excellent artillery commander can determine the victory or defeat of a battle.

In fact, with the current strength of the arsenal, Kong Hao can completely exchange the technology of 105mm howitzer through the system, but for the same reason, there is a lack of sufficient artillery talents and this heavy howitzer cannot be used at all.

According to his plan, we should wait until we have trained enough mountain artillery talents, and then select the best from them. Only then will we find a way to form our army's first heavy howitzer unit. This is the safest way.

Fortunately, we can now mass-produce 75mm mountain artillery shells, and it is quite cost-effective to exchange a large number of shells for artillery shooting experience.

For example, Commander Yun’s military sub-district can add a mountain artillery company after this battle, so that the unit’s offensive capability will be greatly improved.

At this time, facing the enemy's position, the uninjured Japanese soldiers looked at everything in front of them with expressionless faces. Unless they were hit by the shells, many of them didn't even want to move.

The main reason is that this situation has been going on for more than a month. When the stronghold was first bombarded, the Japanese soldiers in the stronghold were extremely angry and fought back with all the weapons in their hands, but it was basically useless.

After all, the mountain artillery in our hands has a range of up to 9 kilometers, while the most powerful weapon in the enemy stronghold is only the Type 2830 infantry gun, with a range of only meters. The two are completely different concepts.

At the same time, our infantry was not in a hurry to attack, so all the enemy's defensive weapons were useless and they could only passively take the beating.

At this time, in the enemy's main artillery tower, the puppet army's battalion commander Zhao asked worriedly:

"Captain Fujita, the Eighth Route Army's artillery is becoming increasingly powerful. When will our reinforcements arrive? If this continues, within half a month, all our artillery towers will be destroyed by mountain artillery shells, and we will all be dead without a burial place."

At this time, Captain Fujita had long lost his former arrogance. After a month-long siege by our large army, all the arrogance of the Japanese devils had been completely suppressed.

Once upon a time, when our troops had just besieged the enemy's stronghold, Captain Fujita boasted that he would cover the entire stronghold with the corpses of our attacking troops, and he also arrogantly rejected the suggestion of the county captain to send reinforcements.

After all, with the strength of their stronghold, let alone that we only dispatched two regiments with more than 3,000 people, even if we dispatched five regiments, facing such a huge crossfire from the stronghold, the number of people alone would not be of any use. This is where the Japanese's confidence lies.

Not to mention the Eighth Route Army troops who were short of guns and ammunition, even their own field troops could not do anything to the main artillery tower of the stronghold unless they deployed the 105mm heavy howitzers. This was a solid fortress specially built to withstand 75mm mountain artillery. As long as the main artillery tower was not destroyed, they could completely defend this area.

It's just that we have changed our tactics now. We are not in a hurry to attack. Instead, we rely on abundant supplies to fight a war of attrition with the Japanese in the stronghold, and we can defeat the enemy in no time.

In fact, at the beginning, Captain Fujita thought that our troops were just bluffing and would retreat within ten days or half a month after the reserve supplies were used up. However, what the enemy did not expect was that more than a month had passed and our troops were still surrounding the entire stronghold, leaving the enemy no chance at all.

After being besieged for half a month, Captain Fujita had already put aside his pride and asked the battalion commander for tactical guidance. Battalion commander Takeda also sent reinforcements, two squadrons in total, regardless of past grudges. However, one squadron was ambushed and annihilated by the Second Regiment of our military sub-district. The remaining Japanese soldiers saw that there was no way out and had to retreat back to the county town.

Of course, Fujita would definitely not tell these things to the puppet army battalion commander in front of him, otherwise these spineless people would have other thoughts. So he could only comfort him with kind words and let the matter go.

In fact, the Japanese also looked down on these Imperial Army soldiers who betrayed their ancestors from the bottom of their hearts. After all, these scums didn't even care about their ancestors for the sake of glory and wealth, not to mention them, who were outsiders. The reason why these dogs were so obedient now was simply because they were powerful.

Fortunately, there is enough ammunition in the stronghold and a lot of logistical supplies are stored, so there are no major problems for the time being.

However, Fujita still went to the telegraph room in the main gun tower and sent a telegram for help to the battalion and the regiment headquarters, exaggerating the current situation by two times and claiming that if there was no reinforcement, their stronghold could only hold out for a week at most.

Anyway, I can't care about so many things at this time. For the sake of my own life, lying is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, Fujita, who was able to reach the position of squadron leader, was not a stubborn guy. He liked to commit seppuku at every turn, but that was just a trick to fool the lower-level soldiers. On the contrary, he was the one who was most afraid of death. It was just that others were deceived by his arrogant character in the past.

Commander Yun, however, smiled and said, "Since our artillery has opened fire, it means it's time for lunch. Let's go to the back and have something to eat. We can't rush a siege."

Captain Fan did not expect that their troops would encounter all kinds of bizarre things as soon as they arrived, and now they had to eat, so he hurriedly expressed his gratitude again.

When Commander Yun received the news that the Sichuan Army Corps was coming to support him, he specifically instructed the cooks to prepare meals. This was a good opportunity to demonstrate strength and win over people's hearts. This was also specifically instructed by his superiors.

The purpose is similar to that of selling weapons and ammunition to various units of the Sichuan Army at low prices before. As long as the two sides can fight together, over time and more times, everyone's feelings will become deeper, and they will be able to work together to fight the Japanese.

Today's lunch is actually some ordinary food, which is just ordinary rice, stir-fried canned meat and vegetables stir-fried with lard.

I would like to mention here that the dishes of the Sichuan Army Corps and those of our soldiers are prepared separately. Sichuan people love spicy food, which is well-known throughout China. In order to take care of friendly troops, even stir-fried vegetables are added with a lot of dried chilies. Our soldiers cannot enjoy this treatment.

When the soldiers of the Sichuan Army saw that the dishes were full of chili peppers, they immediately felt homesick. To be honest, since they left Sichuan to fight the war, even eating their favorite chili peppers has become a luxury.
