Chapter 949: Unstoppable Three

A division has 14 artillery companies. If the artillery performance is not mentioned, this organization will definitely not suffer from the comparison with the Japanese army in the second battle. The Japanese Division 2 Division A will also have 36 75MM field guns plus 12 120MM howitzers. There is also a 75mm field artillery company in the wing. If the guns are over 75mm, it would be better than the Germans in World War I! What's more, the German army on this plane?

"The number of Japanese artillery is very small, and they are scattered, and artillery is very poor. They just shoot the cannonballs to the opposite side, regardless of the long-distance corrective shooting and the suddenness of the fire. Compared to their artillery, I feel that they The infantry is better.” A German soldier who participated in the war commented on his opponent.

Looking from the reconnaissance plane, in the rear of the Japanese army, there were waves of fire and smoke. This is a sign that the Japanese artillery has begun to shoot. Although the sporadic shelling is not dangerous, it must be cleaned up. At this time, the large forces of the two sides have already met, it is time to show some hole cards.

"Let our long-range artillery and heavy howitzers fire!" General Seckett ordered. You know, this major general has three divisions! (Two standard divisions and one reserve division) According to the German army, one army is 2 divisions. Although it is not a key direction, it should be given some military-grade equipment. Let alone 150MM, it can hit 19 thousand. How many of Mi's K09 cannons are there? The 210MM heavy howitzer should be given at least two companies, right?

And these heavy firepower beyond the Japanese military’s imagination, coupled with the Germans’ top-notch artillery, brought the Japanese military a shock beyond ordinary imagination. Think about it, in the history of World War II, the Japanese military had only a few 200mm howitzers. ?

Although the Japanese army has also heard that the German military level will strengthen the 8-inch level heavy howitzer, but I heard that it is completely different from the actual experience. When a 100 kg high-explosive bomb goes down, there are almost no lives within 50 meters. ! And when these heavy artillery aimed at the Japanese army group that was launching a dense charge, everything was doomed! Along with a loud noise, a crater with a depth of one person and a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground. With this as the center of the circle, within a range of 30 to 50 meters, almost a small group of soldiers evaporated directly in this gun!

When I saw the bones of my comrades disappeared, and a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, even the crazy people instantly calmed down, and the closer ones were even knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave. The impact and pressure of the airflow The poor and hot air shocked the internal organs of these soldiers.

"I resisted the discomfort and stood up, and saw the soldier waiting on the island curled up like a shrimp. He coughed violently. Suddenly, his body convulsed and a blood-red thing was spat out." I went up. I wanted to help him. When I approached the mass, I found that it was a shattered lung!

"I was so frightened. I opened my mouth and yelled, but couldn't hear my own voice. This made me feel even more alarmed. I subconsciously touched my ear with my hand and saw a hand of red blood. I know, My eardrum was also damaged.” A Japanese soldier recalled the situation after the war.

While the 210MM heavy artillery is like a slow and heavy hammer to destroy the Japanese offensive spearhead little by little, the K09 150MM long-range artillery can easily erase the Japanese artillery positions from the map from a distance of 12 to 14 kilometers. ! Even the remaining officers and soldiers of many Japanese artillery positions were unable to determine where the German artillery shells were fired after the end of the war! You know, the entire Japanese Army has never conducted a shooting with a design distance of more than 14 kilometers! Even the range of those siege guns when attacking the Lushunkou Fortress in the Russo-Japanese War was only 10 kilometers!

The so-called cannon destruction, infantry occupation! During the Franco-Prussian War, the German Army was used to concentrating dozens of artillery companies and hundreds of artillery to attack the French defensive positions and artillery on the opposite side. After the battle, the infantry went up and cleaned the battlefield directly. This time, the Germans felt like doing it themselves. It seems to be more relaxed than the predecessors, anyway, in the Battle of Sedan, the French artillery jumped a few times, and this time, the Japanese artillery was directly abolished in the artillery showdown. The 150MM cannon that was originally used for deep suppression soon lost its work, so the muzzle was turned to infantry and some logistics units!

According to the German theory, this firing gun is still not enough for a front line of about 8 kilometers in length. It is very difficult to blockade by fire alone. Therefore, at critical moments, the opponent must be repelled by infantry. And those Japanese soldiers who were not taken care of by the heavy artillery finally had a chance to fight face-to-face with German soldiers! They screamed and rushed to their opponents. According to past experience and the French handed them to them, Hotchkiss machine guns were deployed on both sides of the position, and the remaining Japanese troops launched an offensive in squadrons.

"Our soldiers formed a battle line, and the opposing German army seemed to be scattered into groups. When we charged like a wave, all the troops wanted to get in the distance as quickly as possible, and then enter our favorite melee mode. The Germans don't think so." A Japanese soldier after the war described the situation of the infantry when the two sides met for the first time.

The German infantry units are more scattered, but the depth is very large, even in the less sheltered plains! The most elite combat squad is arranged on the front line~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Each squad has an MG09 light machine gun or a seized Lewis machine gun. The total number of an elite combat squad is about 13-15. , Has a machine gun, a grenadier (or grenade launcher), 4 submachine guns, and at least 3 semi-automatic rifles. There are also several pistols. The entire squad is divided into three combat teams, the combat team with grenadiers is behind, and the other two combat teams are distributed in an inverted triangle.

And from shift to platoon, from platoon to company, the principle of the three-three system is the same. German army soldiers used intensive firepower to form a deep temporary line of defense! 800 meters! 600 meters! When the Japanese army approached 500 meters, all the approaching Japanese soldiers suddenly rushed to the opposite position like crazy. They shouted, picked up a "spear" that was 1.8 meters tall and rushed to the distance. The seemingly fragmented formation of German infantry.

The German in the distance calmly looked at his opponent like a beast. The bomber beside him calmly took a 100-round bullet to the machine gun, while the infantry with complex protection was divided into two. A group of infantry with rifles started shooting 300 meters away, while the submachine gunners took care of their cartridge belts and drums.
