Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

Chapter 41 Let the Japs See a Cannon with Eyes

The independent field artillery regiment consists of one infantry artillery battalion, two field artillery battalions and one heavy artillery battalion.

The infantry artillery battalion was equipped with 12 Type 92 infantry guns, and the two field artillery battalions were equipped with 75 Type 24 mm field guns.

The heavy artillery battalion was equipped with 105 Type 12 mm field howitzers.

The entire independent artillery regiment is equipped with a total of 48 artillery pieces.

This independent artillery regiment was originally to take office with Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, the new commander of the First Army.

But the situation is urgent now and Ling County cannot afford to lose, so the 41st Division is temporarily reinforced.

The 105mm howitzer is considered an entry-level heavy artillery in China. Its range reaches 10 kilometers, making it their long-range suppressive firepower.

Shimada Yufu had no intention of using the independent regiment's mysterious artillery unit until it showed up.

The biggest threat to the Independent Regiment was the mysterious artillery unit.

So his plan was to first use the Type 92 infantry gun and Type field gun to bombard the independent regiment.

Thus, their mysterious artillery was brought out. As long as their position was known, 12 105mm howitzers would launch a covering fire, completely destroying the artillery.

This eliminated the biggest threat. With so many artillery pieces in hand and a force several times greater than the enemy's, it would be easy to capture Ling County without causing too many casualties.

It would be even better if the artillery unit of the independent regiment did not dare to show up.

Even though the Empire lacks various resources, 75mm shells are not that valuable to them.

As long as the independent regiment can be destroyed, then everything will be worth it. From this tactic, it can be seen that Shimada Yufu is indeed very stable.

In addition, he also learned from some previous experiences and lessons. The artillery positions of these artillery pieces were relatively scattered.

Put a few guns here and a few guns there. This way, even if the independent regiment counterattacks, the artillery unit on this side will not be wiped out.

"Fire!" At the major artillery positions of the Japanese army, Type 92 infantry guns and Type field guns began to roar.

"Get into the air-raid shelter, quickly!" The independent regiment already has sufficient experience in dealing with this level of artillery fire.

Except for leaving necessary observation posts, all the soldiers immediately got into the nearest anti-artillery holes or cat-ear holes.

Zhang Dabiao was also hiding in a bomb-proof cave at this moment.

Feeling the vibrations coming from the ground, he said nonchalantly, "This movement looks quite loud, but the power is not that great. They are just 75mm cannons."

It wasn't just the Japanese artillery that looked scary to Zhang Dabiao, but he was used to seeing bigger battles.

The Japanese 70mm and 75mm artillery did not pose much threat to their dug and reinforced positions.

However, if too many shells fall, the damage to the fortifications will be considerable.

The headquarters of the independent regiment was on the second line of defense, only a few kilometers away from the first-line positions.

Li Yunlong was standing on a ladder at this moment, watching the movements on the front line with a telescope.

"Don't the Japs have an artillery regiment? This Dongjing looks like it's all light artillery. Why don't they use heavy artillery?"

Zhao Gang on the side asked doubtfully.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Aren't the Japanese waiting for me?"

"Once our rocket launchers appear, believe it or not, their heavy artillery will immediately rain down bombs on us."

Zhao Gang frowned and said, "What should we do? We can't just sit here and take the bombing. Our frontline fortifications can't withstand a prolonged bombardment."

Li Yunlong put down the telescope and said, "Don't worry, my brother has already rushed to the artillery company. You can rest assured with him around."

"Our mission is to delay. If we can delay for seven days, we will win."

The position of the third artillery company was set up on a reverse slope next to the third line of defense.

For the 11.8mm heavy artillery with a range of 122 kilometers, the entire 41st Division of the Japanese Army was within the artillery range.

Standing on the high ground, Li Jingrong smiled and said to Fang Tianrui beside him, "The Japanese are very cunning this time. From their ballistic trajectory, we can see that their artillery positions are very scattered. It seems that it is impossible to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Fang Tianrui nodded and said, "Indeed, the Japanese have learned their lesson. It will be difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop in the future."

At this moment, a signalman ran over and said, "Report to the company commander, the regiment headquarters ordered our artillery company 3 to launch a counterattack immediately."

Fang Tianrui nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he turned to Li Jingrong and said, "Mr. Li, this time it's up to you. I'm really looking forward to your secret weapon."

Li Jingrong smiled and said, "Let's go, let's show the little devils a cannon with eyes."

The two men came down from the top of the slope and walked to the artillery position.

In addition to the two Type 541 122mm howitzers on the position, there was also a three-axle military truck not far away.

The military truck is painted dark green, and the hydraulic rods at the rear have supported a large flat box.

Its front was facing the direction of the Japanese artillery position. This military truck and the large box at the rear of it have a name in modern time and space.

It was also given to Li Jingrong by the military when he received four Type 82 130mm wheeled rocket launchers.

SLC2 ground artillery position detection and calibration radar. The principle of this radar is also very simple.

It is to use radar technology to track the enemy's artillery fire and calculate the artillery firing position based on its trajectory.

Once we have obtained an accurate launch position, we can naturally launch a counterattack easily.

This anti-artillery radar is not the most advanced for Rabbit, and it is a model that is about to be retired.

But in this world, it is truly black technology and a nightmare for enemy artillery.

Since the rabbit was given to him, he naturally took it here and used it without hesitation. As for the people who controlled him, they were naturally the guards.

Doing this allows him to use advanced weapons while maintaining confidentiality, so he doesn't have many concerns when using them.

He had no choice but to keep it secret because his secrecy was not directed at the Eighth Route Army. If the boss wanted these technical equipment, there was no harm in him giving them away.

What he was really wary of were those who would readily give Big Brother everything they had, and there were quite a few of them in the army.

Li Jingrong said to the guards: "Start calculating the location of the enemy artillery positions immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

"Radar powered on, starting to turn sideways."

In less than 8 seconds, all exposed artillery positions of the Japanese army were detected by the radar vehicle.

The Slc2 anti-artillery radar vehicle can detect 20 artillery elements at the same time.

He handed a piece of paper to Fang Tianrui and said, "Captain Fang, this is the location of the Japanese artillery position. The counterattack is left to you."

Fang Tianrui looked at the radar car in astonishment and asked blankly, "Is that all?"

Li Jingrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Go quickly. The front line is still under bombing."

"Yes, Consultant Li!"

Despite his infinite curiosity, he was still somewhat excited and began to command the two 122m cannons to launch a counterattack with the data.

"put!"

"Boom...Boom..." With the support of detailed data, the accuracy of the two artillery pieces is astonishingly high.

At a Japanese Type 8.2 infantry gun position 92 kilometers away, two Type 92 infantry guns hidden behind the bunker launched artillery fire on the independent regiment's front-line positions.

This group of Japanese artillerymen were very skilled and the coordination between the various artillery positions was very tacit.

"Woooooo..." The roaring artillery on the battlefield drowned out the heavy artillery shells whistling in the sky.

Two 122mm shells hit the Japanese artillery position as accurately as falling stars.

One of the shells exploded less than 10 meters away from the artillery position.

As two balls of fire rose up, the huge energy of the heavy artillery shells spread out in all directions under the influence of the air waves, destroying everything that stood in their way.

When the smoke cleared, one of the Type 92 infantry guns was blown away.

Another Type 92 infantry gun collapsed to the ground, its two crew members completely killed or wounded by the two heavy artillery shells.

When he saw two heavy artillery shells explode behind him, Shimada Isao shuddered...

"Heavy artillery, this is not that new type of artillery, this is heavy artillery..."

According to the description, the new artillery shells have an orange-red flame at the tail, which is obviously a traditional artillery shell.

"The independent regiment actually has heavy artillery, the caliber of which cannot be less than 130mm. No wonder they can easily break through the defenses of Ling County. Damn it! Find them and destroy them."

"Hey!" It was obvious that Shimada Yufu had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. He did not know that the Eighth Route Army had the assistance of an anti-artillery weapon.

After firing the first round of shells, the crew members immediately reloaded the shells and launched a new round of shooting at the next target.

Since the Japanese have dispersed their artillery positions, they will destroy them one by one.

The second round of shells fell again on the artillery position of the Type 7.4 75mm field gun kilometers away.

This artillery position is one of the most heavily armed, with four Type 38 field guns.

Two heavy artillery shells fell on their heads, instantly blowing a Type 38 field gun into the sky.

"Bombard, move the artillery, quickly!" The shells hit their faces directly. It was obvious that their position was exposed. If they didn't move, they would be bombed.

However, the Type 75 mm field gun weighs nearly one ton, so it is not so easy to move it.

Only half a minute had passed since the third round of shells fell.

Only one of the four Type 38 field guns was successfully transferred away by the Japanese.

In just a few minutes, they lost 5 artillery pieces.

At this time, the Japanese artillery regiment commander Matsui Ryoyong finally felt something was wrong...
