Chapter 147: How Could the Sichuan Army Have Heavy Artillery?
Zhang Tianyi waved his hand: "It's no trouble!"
"In the first Movement Warfare, the troops are all like this, and the soldiers under one's command..."
"... are all the same; after experiencing more, they will be fine."
Bai Zhangsheng nodded: "Now that the battle is over, let us send a telegram to the Group Army Commander."
The battle telegram from Liuzhuang was quickly delivered into the hands of Sun Zhen.
At this moment, in the command post of the 22nd Group Army.
Deng Xihou put down the telephone in his hand, "I just spoke with Chen Li on the phone."
Watching a battalion of Japanese soldiers currently repairing the road.
"What is going on?"
"And the New 10th Regiment has sent us a congratulatory telegram."
It was fine for everyone to play the ostrich, pretending the Brigade Commander was still his usual wise and martial self, and not seeing him fall flat on his face.
Guteng Changying shouted loudly as he stepped out of the car.
The furious Guteng Changying, enraged, swung the Command Sword in his hand and slashed directly at the spare tire of the motorcycle nearby.
Guteng Changying glanced around and discovered that all the surrounding soldiers had lowered their heads.
At this moment, was Yamashita Kazuo's mind blank for a while?
Only to see that the front of the column had already turned into a dragon of fire.
The Flying Thunder Tube was something Yu Hua had the engineer battalions of the several divisions under the Group Army develop.
After the Flying Thunder Tube was manufactured by the engineers of the 22nd Group Army, they conducted an experiment.
The engineer lit the fuse.
Lin Tianyou's Regiment was allocated ten Flying Thunder Tubes.
Guteng Changying angrily questioned his Adjutant, Songben Teng.
"This time our Landmines are not made of iron."
Sun Zhen raised the telegram in his hand, "The 127th Division ambushed the remaining Japanese of the 31st Brigade, and a detachment of the 124th Division is at Liuzhuang."
"Telescope!"
"Report to the Brigade Commander!"
According to the intelligence of the Imperial Special Higher Police, the Heavy Artillery units currently organized by the Republic of China Army only consist of the Heavy Artillery 10th Regiment.
The specifics still had to be handled by the engineers themselves.
"Baka!"
At the forefront, the Yamashita Regiment, Yamashita Kazuo received the report from the Communications Soldier.
Songben Teng was slapped left and right by Guteng Changying, beaten until he was dizzy and disoriented.
Deng Xihou laughed heartily, "Good, good, good..."
This terrified the Japanese soldiers, who kept shouting: "Heavy Artillery bombardment!"
It kept ringing out within the Japanese ranks.
"No Sichuan Army has been discovered for the time being; they detonated the Minefield on the road from the shadows."
These Landmines, along with Explosives, were buried under the road.
"The Imperial Army has been ambushed by the Sichuan Army."
They are currently in a fierce firefight with the Sichuan Army.
"We fished quite well this time; the 31st Brigade is now fish on our chopping block."
Countless Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
The Communications Soldier called several times, but all were like stones sinking into the sea.
The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is a ragtag force; how could they possibly have such a sharp weapon?
No one expected this sudden change.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers all lowered their heads, everyone afraid that the Brigade Commander would take the opportunity to vent his rage.
After venting, Guteng Changying felt slightly better, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
The two battalions that were originally scheduled to send a telegram every thirty minutes had now lost contact.
Guteng Changying, this old Japanese, had originally been dozing in his car.
The battle of Liuzhuang had ended, but the remaining troops of the 31st Brigade were marching on the road.
"Baka!"
He was just about to dispatch soldiers to prepare to reinforce Liuzhuang.
Regarding this thing, Yu Hua only provided the direction for research.
The Republic of China Army's Heavy Artillery is only present on the Songhu Battlefield.
"The 127th Division has a firm fighting will and is currently engaging the 31st Brigade; although the troops have suffered casualties..."
The Second Regiment of the 127th Division, under the leadership of Regimental Commander Lin Tianyou, moved to the position of the Yamashita Regiment.
Guteng Changying saw the Imperial engineers begin to explore forward.
Zhou Jishi, who was lying in ambush on the hillside.
"Baka!"
Only then did Guteng Changying continue to order the march!
When the remnants of the 31st Brigade were attacked by Landmines and Explosives.
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen had also seen this thing.
The Japanese mine detectors were only effective against iron Landmines.
He nodded hurriedly, saying with slurred speech, "Hai, hai, hai..."
However, a massive explosion sound forcibly blasted this old devil awake.
Ten Flying Thunder Tubes were fired a total of five times.
After he exclaimed in shock, a massive explosion sound echoed through the line of devils repairing the road.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"
After the devil combat engineers spent an hour clearing this one-kilometer minefield.
For the Sichuan Army, which lacked Heavy Artillery, the Flying Thunder Tube was still a decent weapon.
Guteng Changying failed to stand steady and fell flat on his face.
Coupled with the Sichuan Army's concentrated bombardment, Yamashita Kazuo, as an officer, naturally would not go to repair the road himself while the devil soldiers were concentrated on road repairs.
These Flying Thunder Tubes were all modified from gasoline drums.
These ten Flying Thunder Tubes, under the operation of the combat engineers, were now installed.
The warriors of the Imperial Army lay on the ground wailing, with cries, screams, and the angry cursing of officers.
The combat engineers lived up to expectations and finally developed one hundred units.
A whistling sound came from the sky.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" Songben Teng hurriedly stepped forward to support Guteng Changying.
Lin Tianyou immediately called for people to get the Flying Thunder Tubes ready.
Therefore, while the Sichuan Army was using the Flying Thunder Tubes to bombard.
"The 31st Brigade's Yamashita Regiment had two battalions completely annihilated by them."
"Baka!"
The driver of the car hurriedly took out a Telescope and handed it to the Brigade Commander.
The Imperial Aviation on the Songhu Battlefield searched several times but could not find it.
"Hurry and dispatch combat engineers to clear the minefield on the highway for me."
"Causing casualties to the Imperial Army!"
Yamashita Kazuo was very lucky not to be blown up, but the groups of devil soldiers repairing the road were miserable.
Hearing the Adjutant's report, Guteng Changying was so angry his face turned black.
Seeing the devils dispatch combat engineers, he grinned: "Hehe..."
To deal with the devils' combat engineers, Yu Hua specifically had the 22nd Group Army manufacture a large number of Landmines using ceramic and glass.
Even Yamashita Kazuo was stunned for a moment.
Pushing the time back thirty minutes.
This Heavy Artillery regiment was currently on the Songhu Battlefield, causing very serious casualties to the Imperial Army.
He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and backhanded Songben Teng with several loud slaps.
"Where is the Sichuan Army?"
"Little devils, you didn't expect this, did you?"
"However, the soldiers all refuse to leave the front line despite minor injuries."
Supported by Songben Teng, Guteng Changying stood up.
However, in order to deceive the little devils, the Sichuan Army still buried some fake iron Landmines on the highway.
"Rice buckets... all rice buckets!"
"The battalion marching in front has been completely Jade Shattered."
After the tire burst and an explosion occurred, the massive impact force slammed into Guteng Changying's body.
German-made 150mm 32-caliber Heavy Artillery; this artillery regiment had undergone German-style training and fired very accurately.
Yamashita Kazuo's eyes widened, "Heavy Artillery?"
Guteng Changying's Adjutant ran hurriedly to the Brigade Commander.
"Where is the Sichuan Army?"
"Why didn't the Imperial Army counterattack?"
After the oil drums were buried underground and Lin Tianyou ordered the bombardment.
"Xiu xiu xiu..."
Yamashita Kazuo had better luck; he hid beside a car.
Yamashita Kazuo understood that this must have been the Sichuan Army ambushing the two battalions at Liuzhuang.
"The Republic of China Army used Heavy Artillery."
Where did the Sichuan Army get Heavy Artillery?
Could it be that the Republic of China Army transferred it from the Songhu Battlefield?
