Chapter 138: Terrifying Firepower Configuration

It is not that Yu Hua looks down on the friendly forces in the direction of Niangziguan.

Rather, once Niangziguan is breached by the devils, Sun Lianzhong's Northwest Army and Ceng Wanzhong's Yunnan Army—

In order to preserve their troops, these two men might quickly retreat to the rear.

One must know that in history, after they saw that Niangziguan could not be held, they retreated all the way back.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army marched to Niangziguan and plunged headlong into a nest of devils swarming with heavy troops.

The 122nd Division was directly battered to pieces.

Wang Zhizhong's division of men fought a bitter battle with the devils for a day, and after nightfall, they retreated overnight.

The Hanyang Arsenal's imitation is called the Hanzao Type 10 Mountain Gun.

"The Northwest Army and the Yunnan Army are also teams with decent combat effectiveness."

At present, the 109th Division and Yamashita Tomoyuki's brigade have not only Type 41 Mountain Guns in their artillery units, but also many other models of artillery.

After seeing Yu Hua's plan, Jin Jizhong frowned, "Brother Yu."

Therefore, the troop strength and Weaponry configuration are naturally a notch worse than the several divisions on the Songhu Battlefield.

This is fucking insane.

Let Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen make adjustments immediately.

The 22nd Group Army will certainly be blasted out of existence by the Sichuan Army in a very short time.

Yu Hua making arrangements early is also to prevent the situation of the original timeline from occurring.

For Yu Hua.

"At the same time, the 109th Division in the direction of Niangziguan has reinforced its artillery."

"On the Songhu Battlefield."

"Commander Deng and Commander Sun immediately organized relevant personnel to decipher and monitor the devils' radio stations."

Currently, a strategy of prioritizing Songhu is being implemented.

A large portion of the little devils' troops have also not yet had time to replace their equipment with the latest Type 94 Mountain Guns.

"Our own people are still more reliable."

Regarding this kind of old artillery, the little devils naturally looked down on it and sold it directly to Zhongtu during the warlord infighting at the time.

However, in the eyes of the devils, the Type 41 Mountain Gun was already a very backward piece of artillery.

These two types of artillery are both relatively backward artillery in the devils' own country.

The units that replaced them with Type 94 Mountain Guns transferred the Type 41 Mountain Guns to the Infantry Regiments for use, making them the standard artillery of the Infantry Regiments.

"The connection point of their two positions did not show any flaws when facing the devils' offensive."

In the eyes of the devils' artillerymen, the Type 41 Mountain Gun... is a very backward piece of artillery.

The two divisions under Sun Zhen were beaten to pieces by the devils.

Yu Hua sent his plan back to the Group Army Headquarters.

This 105mm Howitzer is the devils' Type 92.

For the defenders, this is still a good thing.

Since 1935, the devils' Permanent Divisions have been successively removing the Type 41 Mountain Guns from their Artillery Regiments.

For the Sichuan Army, which lacks artillery, that would be a devastating blow.

In the eyes of the devils' General Headquarters, the war in Jin Province is just a routine matter.

Looking at the artillery configuration of the Yamashita Tomoyuki Brigade, there is one battalion of 75mm Type 41 Mountain Guns, one battalion of 75mm Field Guns, and among them, there are also two armored battalions.

Judging from the artillery allocation of the little devils, most of the current troops are equipped with 75mm Type 41 Mountain Guns.

Once a Field Heavy Artillery Brigade appears, Yu Hua does not even dare to think about it in detail.

"Battalion Commander Yu, Regimental Commander Jin!" A Communications Soldier came stumbling toward Yu Hua and the others.

The reason there is no Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the little devils on the Jin Province Battlefield is because of the devils' General Headquarters.

That is the most advanced Mountain Gun.

"The Group Army Headquarters discovered the devils' secret code while organizing the documents of the Hashimoto Detachment."

At that time, whether it was the Central Army or the local armies, 【they were ecstatic】 to be able to possess a Type 41 Mountain Gun.

"Is our Sichuan Army doing this... a bit too much?"

This is just the artillery of the devils' Artillery Regiment; in addition, the two Infantry Regiments under the division also possess a large amount of artillery.

Likewise, there is also the 124th Division, which also fought the devils for a whole day and then hurriedly retreated.

The 109th Division increased its artillery configuration, which suddenly reached the establishment of a Permanent Division's Artillery Regiment.

After all, this piece of artillery is light and handy, and the devils' artillerymen like it very much.

Among them, Yan Laoxi's Jinyang Arsenal, the Northeast Army's Fengtian Arsenal, as well as the Hanyang Arsenal, etc., had all individually imitated the Type 41 Mountain Gun.

The Type 38 Modified Field Gun alone can fire ten kilometers.

Zhongtu is accustomed to calling it the Taisho Year 6 Mountain Gun.

"Yang Sen's 20th Army and Guo Rudong's 43rd Army, the two armies are cooperating well with each other."

The 109th Division's Artillery Regiment has 12 Type 41 75mm Mountain Guns under its command.

Yu Hua grinned: "Regimental Commander Jin, although they are friendly forces, once the most critical moment arrives..."

Once this artillery group is set up, it will shell the Sichuan Army.

"The Yamashita Tomoyuki Brigade reinforcing Niangziguan is now preparing to outflank the flank of my Group Army."

For the artillerymen of Zhongtu, this Mountain Gun is an advanced piece of artillery.

"Anyway, as long as I can fight, I don't know anything else."

Not only in terms of troop strength but also in terms of Weaponry, the Songhu Battlefield is considered first.

"However, at the junctions of our defensive lines with other friendly forces, major problems have emerged."

On the Niangziguan and Xinkou Battlefield, the Japanese Field Heavy Artillery Brigade has not yet appeared.

There are 36 75mm Field Guns, and these 36 Field Guns are Type 38 modified.

The firepower configuration is also terrifying.

Added to this is the Type 92 105mm Howitzer; this fellow has an even longer range, reaching eighteen kilometers.

The Type 92 105mm caliber artillery piece is one of the Japanese's most advanced pieces of artillery; it has great power and long range, and is very popular among the Japanese Field Artillery.

"As for these matters, I will not concern myself with them."

The one imitated by the Fengtian Arsenal of the Northeast Army is called the Liao Type 14.

It seems the provocation by the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army has already attracted the attention of the Pingjin Area Army.

This has resulted in the Jin Province Battlefield;

The Japanese artillery units mostly still use Type 41 Mountain Guns and Type 38 modified 75mm Field Guns.

This is also a damnably difficult brigade to deal with.

Among them, 105mm Howitzers have been additionally equipped.

The Pingjin Area Army has already made up its mind and is preparing to annihilate the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

The warlords within Zhongtu have also each purchased Type 41 Mountain Guns.

He called over a Communications Soldier.

Immediately after, the Communications Soldier took out the relevant telegram and handed it to Yu Hua and Jin Jizhong.

The two artillery battalions each possess 12 artillery pieces.

They are replacing them with the newest Type 94 75mm Mountain Gun, but because the production cost of the Type 94 Mountain Gun is high, the speed is slower than the Type 41 Mountain Gun.

The one imitated by Yan Laoxi's Jinyang Arsenal is called the Jin Type 13.

Among them, there are also several dozen Type 41 Mountain Guns and Type 92 Infantry Guns.

This firepower truly gave Yu Hua a big shock.

Because the Songhu Battlefield has now become the focus for both China and Japan.

Seeing the artillery configuration of the 109th Division, Yu Hua gasped.

Treat it as the top priority for building an advanced artillery unit!

During the period of warlord infighting, Type 41 Mountain Guns were all over the land of Zhongtu.

Jin Jizhong waved his hand, "Alright... alright..."

As Jin Jizhong's deputy, Lao Luo also nodded: "Old Jin, Yu Hua makes sense."

Not worth much attention.

Although these two types of artillery are backward, for the artillerymen of Zhongtu, they are still advanced artillery pieces.

When both sides engage in artillery duels, the artillery of Zhongtu is still at a disadvantage.
