1890 King of Southeast Asia

With the first roar of the Type 38 150mm howitzer of the First Independent Field Heavy Artillery Battalion, the Japanese attack began.

(The Type 38 150mm howitzer was officially put into production in 1908, and it was already the main support artillery at this time.)

Perhaps because they produced too many army supplies, or perhaps because they suffered too much in the fortresses on the riverside and learned to be smart, the Japanese changed their petty appearance and fired fiercely.

However, the Japanese soon stopped laughing.

On the battle line of more than 200 kilometers, the Japanese launched a massive artillery attack, using a total of more than 700 cannons. Although it was not as many as any country's army in a battle on the European battlefield, it was not a small number.

However... the main artillery of the Japanese army was the 75mm mountain artillery, followed by the 75mm field artillery. For the fortifications that had been built and continuously reinforced for several years on the opposite side, it could only be said that it was better than nothing.

The frontline of the three-province border defense army is the 9th and 11th armies of the Huaxia Empire, six divisions and several regiments of special arms such as engineers, artillery, and logistics troops.

There are also divisional and military artillery, as well as special fortress artillery, totaling about 80,000 people.

The total number of border defense troops in the three provinces is less than 150,000, of which 80,000 are here, and there is another army deployed in the north to defend against Russia. Fortunately, Russia currently has no energy to fight this war and can be mobilized.

The Japanese army concentrated a few 150mm howitzers and 105mm cannons, and concentrated artillery bombardment in the direction of Jiuliancheng, which is their main attack direction.

Once upon a time, they defeated the main force of the Qing Empire here and rushed into the Qing Empire, forcing the Qing Empire to sit down and negotiate and pay the price after gaining maritime advantage.

That was the highlight moment when the army overwhelmed the navy. At this time, the Korean garrison headquarters wanted to repeat this highlight moment.

The Type 38 150mm howitzers from various places, plus the Type 38 105mm cannons in the fortress group, barely gathered a hundred guns to bombard Jiuliancheng.

Responsible for the defense of Jiuliancheng is the 32nd Division of the Ninth Army of the Huaxia Empire, led by Zou Cheng, whose headquarters is located in Jiuliancheng.

"Finally here, Chief of Staff, how are the casualties on the front line?" Hearing the sound of artillery outside, Zou Cheng was relieved.

"Fortunately, the Japanese firepower is concentrated on the exposed bait. It's no problem for the solid bunkers to be hit by a few shots. There are more than a dozen casualties. They are all unlucky and injured by fragments." The chief of staff looked at the casualty statistics.

The Japanese transported troops to Korea on a large scale, which must be hidden. With so many people suddenly concentrated, the Japanese's idea of ​​breaking through from the land is obvious.

The Huaxia Empire considered attacking when the Japanese just landed and were in chaos, but gave up after a little consideration.

If you want to attack, you must first pass the fortresses in Jiangdong.

The Japanese may not be as willing as the Chinese, but they are also good at digging tunnels and building fortresses. It is difficult to break through quickly with only the Ninth and Eleventh Armies.

Because the Ninth and Eleventh Armies are heavy armies, their main focus is defense, not mobile operations.

The main source of the army is the original revolutionary army or the provisional government army, and there is no mechanization modification.

After the merger of the empire, they were allocated a lot of weapons and machinery, but the machinery was engineering machinery, and the weapons were good-looking.

What 152mm heavy cannon, 203mm howitzer, and even the 305mm cannon from Shanhaiguan was transferred.

A 305mm cannon was installed on the Juwo Ridge, three kilometers north of Jiuliancheng, and it was improved, equipped with an electric motor and a gun cover, and rails were laid to enable movement.

However, the mobile firepower was not strengthened.

After all, compared with the complete transportation lines and fortifications in the three provinces, the grassland and the Western Regions need more mobile firepower.

Weapons and equipment are not just for equipment, but also for training. For example, if you give a person who plays with old-fashioned artillery a new rapid-fire gun or even a self-propelled artillery, will he play well?

Therefore, the Ninth Army and the Eleventh Army gave up their thoughts and strengthened their defenses to prevent the Japanese from infiltrating and raiding.

As for whether they can hold on?

After the first thirty minutes of the Japanese bombardment, the Ninth Army Headquarters integrated the situation and sent it down to let the troops below have an idea of ​​the overall situation of the battle.

"The military department reported the overall situation of the front line. It seems that we are the main attack direction of the Japanese?" The chief of staff took the report

"Main attack direction? The Japanese siege guns have not come out yet. I am afraid that we can't judge with only some 150mm howitzers?" Zou Cheng was stunned.

The Japanese firepower was indeed fierce, but it was just a look of excitement and could not cause much damage.

The hidden firepower points, bunkers, hiding caves, communication trenches, etc. built by the 32nd Division were not damaged too much, proving that the Japanese were not familiar with the intelligence here at all, or even had no intelligence.

If they had a little intelligence, they would not have used artillery shells to bombard the empty "firepower point".

As for the main support bunkers, the reinforced concrete alone was two and a half to three meters thick, and the top was weaker, so it was also reinforced with soil and wood.

The support bunkers in key areas also had armor ranging from 100 to 300 mm.

Although the Type 38 150 mm howitzer was used until 1945 or even later, it did not mean that it was so good, but that Japan did not have much demand for it.

What they needed was a light and cheap cannon, and the Type 38 150 mm howitzer fully satisfied it.

In the Pacific War, Japanese supplies were tightly ate at once, and the cost of three -eighth production costs and less material consumption than new artillery became the mainstream.

Speaking of performance, it is extremely general. Even the range of 75 field guns is not comparable. The initial velocity is low, and the shells are lighter than the average 150 guns.

The only advantage is that during the same period, he was lighter than other 150 -caliber artillery.

It can be hit on the bunker, and some scars can be hit, but that's it. The slow initial speed cannot cause more damage at all.

Therefore, Zou Cheng believes that the Japanese may have another plan. After all, the Japanese army has a siege gun.

boom!

With a loud noise, Zou Cheng stunned, the chief of staff was faster, and he picked up the phone with a step.

"Where's the explosion?"

"What?"

"How about the casualties?"

"Okay, okay, I know."

Chief of Staff held the microphone and looked at Zou Cheng:

"Division, report on the front line, Japan used the howitzer of more than 200 mm, a support point was exploded, and some of the ammunition in the collection were detonated."

"The two soldiers died, a observer was injured, and the front line requested to fight against artillery fire."

Zou Cheng touched his head and nodded:

"Allow the division artillery to counter against it, find out the position of the siege howitzer, and kill him.

The artillery equipped with front -line fortress is basically direct firepower, but mostly small -caliber guns, mainly used to fight infantry.

What Zou Cheng thought was to let the Japanese arrogant, it is best to send people over and eat it all.

After all, he didn't know before that his teacher, even where he was, would become the place where the Japanese attacked.

The weak link of the entire line of defense is in the south entrance to the sea or 45 kilometers north of the mountain area. Japanese people entering the sea can call the naval artillery. The fortress in the northern mountain area is not so strong.

Of course, the northern mountainous area does not take the fortress as the main defense of work, but is a layer of field work.

This is the pocket array set up by the Ninth Army. As long as the Japanese army is determined to rush, the soldiers of the Ninth Army will give up the channel at the same time.

With the temper of the Japanese, it will be easy to get on, maybe it will be shot and attack the strong machine gun forts on both sides.

Now I know that the Japanese treat themselves as soft persimmons, and Zou Cheng has to do well in total in order to maximize the benefits.

More than 1,000 meters behind the front -line bunker group, a 152mm field gun was pushed out, and it was transferred to the scheduled position and set up easily.

"Direction 051, distance 8700, one test shot, put it!"

boom!

After quickly setting up the yuan, the artillery began to shoot.

On the preset artillery positions, the 152mm field guns of the twelve gates are firing.

The cannonball scratched the sky, made a harsh sound, and then fell heavily on the ground.

"Right to the right, add one to the left! I want to run on the dog day, hurry up!" The frontline artillery observer was posted on the artillery team's mirror, watching the smoke rising on the right side of the Japanese artillery position, shouting loudly to the phone on the phone Essence

"To the left, shot three times!" The squad leader of the artillery class heard the Japanese want to run, urging.

boom!

boom!

boom!

In less than a minute, the three -facing cannon shells flew out, and the Japanese army was about to put away the cannon rack of the three -eighth 150mm howitzer, so that they could be dragged away and the shells came.

No one hit directly.

The first one was about 40 meters in front of the Japanese position. The Japanese army cleaned the cannon frame. It was concentrated behind the cannon. The shot was blocked by the cannon shield and basically bounced.

The second fifteen meters in front of him, the huge impact of the explosion killed two artillery, and the others were all injured.

Partial shots broke through the gun shield and killed two.

The third one fell at the right rear of the three -eighth wild cannon, and it was more than ten meters. This time, there was no blocking, and the members of the artillery group fell to the ground.

The power of the ground was strong, and everyone was shocked.

"It has destroyed the target, repeated, and the target has been destroyed. The next goal, a position 059, a distance of 7900 ..."

The artillery observer looked at it, confirmed that he did not see the shadow up, and turned his head to look at the next goal.

Generally speaking, a heavy artillery of more than 150 mm exploded within 20 meters. People are in a defense -free zone. Whether it can survive, it mainly depends on the eight characters.

If the eight characters are harder than the shells, it can also survive the inside bleeding.

As for the siege gun, it is a siege howitzer, ten times the caliber, and the shooting angle is bent.

The trajectory of the field cannon is relatively straight to attack the people behind the bunker, and that bunker, 152 cannon one cannon may not wear ...

"The man's artillery, the anti -artillery fight! Baga, the man's artillery is really accurate, Hasu ancient Hayagu!" The siege gun commanded Anbaotai to see the Japanese army lost four artillery in a short period of time, furious.

The 280 siege cannon, the range is not far, the distance is not far away, and it is also dangerous.

"Hayu ..."

BOOM!

He heard a loud noise, and before he reacted, he didn't know anything.

The people around only heard a loud noise, and then saw a huge smoke rising.

"Heavy artillery? The heavy artillery of the man?"
