Chapter 272: Tactics Rising in the West

"Baka yaro!"

Tani Hisao roared, his pair of eyes looking just like those of a vicious beast.

"The detailed process of the battle!?"

"Your..."

"Speak quickly... exactly what happened."

"Hai..." Okamoto Shinomi nodded heavily.

Among them, the theory of Special Operations was more mature in this regard.

"The opponent possesses 12 German-style Mountain Guns!"

This group of conservative officers, most of them had relatively rigid thinking and were not interested in some emerging tactics.

They were all young, vigorous officers who had sprouted some ideas about it and simply elaborated on them.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, I think it is like this."

"Order!"

The 75mm Mountain Guns and Type 92 Infantry Guns are now aimed at Jinshan County.

"Bombard the entire Jinshan County for me!"

In the face of absolute strength, any tactic is a paper tiger.

Still managed to scrape together a few dozen artillery pieces.

Tani Hisao, as an officer from the Imperial Japanese Army University, had his own views on such tactics.

"Ten minutes later, conduct a half-hour bombardment on Jinshan County."

The two were classmates at the Imperial Japanese Army University!

He had also gained a superficial understanding of it.

"I actually heard Hashimoto Ryuji mention this side Firepower Point before."

"During the battle at Dunwu Temple, his troops had encountered it."

"You mean..."

Tani Hisao now had no choice but to utilize the artillery advantage of the Imperial Army.

Kunisaki Noboru frowned tightly, "Your Excellency Division Commander!"

"Baka yaro!"

"Have all the artillery of the Brigade prepared for me."

Of course, Kunisaki Noboru only understood a little bit of the surface, because these pieces of knowledge of his...

Tani Hisao could already imagine that the attacking Imperial Army soldiers would have no cover to hide in.

Tani Hisao saw Kunisaki Noboru analyze it this way.

The total troop strength was only over 15,000 men.

He simply didn't believe it!

That the defenders inside the city could still survive under the bombardment of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.

"What is New-style Urban Warfare?"

This battle also brought a great shock to Hashimoto Ryuji.

Sumita Raishiro took the telegram from the Communications Soldier's hand.

"Report to the Brigade Commander!"

The West is still in the midst of exploration, and the little devils, as a country in the Far East...

Had absolutely no impression of it!

Sixth Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery.

Kunisaki Noboru also introduced to Tani Hisao what New-style Urban Warfare was.

These tactics were also not valued by the leaders of Western countries.

For New-style Urban Warfare to truly become world-famous, it would have to be after the outbreak of the Stalingrad Battle.

"These people are all trusted troops of Principal."

"A beggar-like team like the Sichuan Army could never possibly have such officers."

"I want to turn it into a ruin."

Proposed some theories!

These theories were also taught to students in Western military academies.

"Only excellent graduates from the Whampoa Military Academy can go abroad to study and receive advanced military education."

Within the little devils' military system, there were also many conservative officers.

Immediately!

It was all told to him by Hashimoto Ryuji; now, Hashimoto Ryuji has died in battle on the Jin Province Battlefield.

"It seems that there are officers in the Sichuan Army who have experience abroad!"

Could only become live targets for the Sichuan Army!

These three battalions were almost completely annihilated.

"Such a tactic is New-style Urban Warfare."

A glint flashed in his eyes, "Kunisaki-kun!"

Tani Hisao heard Kunisaki Noboru say this.

"The Sichuan Army... is cunning!"

New-style Urban Warfare?!

Tani Hisao frowned slightly: "Kunisaki-kun!"

Although Tani Hisao's Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were ambushed by the Sichuan Army, and their artillery units were wiped out.

Arrived at Jinshan County!

As far as Tani Hisao was concerned, what the hell was this new-style urban warfare.

He took a look!

Tani Hisao ordered the Sixth Brigade's Field Heavy Artillery to conduct a half-hour bombardment on the defenders inside the city.

Hashimoto Ryuji was an excellent graduate of the Imperial Japanese Army University back in the day.

Now, the defenders in the city had already relied on new-style urban warfare to cause the Sixth Division the loss of three battalions.

Originally!

After the Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were ambushed halfway.

New-style urban warfare and special operations!

Only emerged in Western countries after the First World War.

Germany was at the forefront!

The artillery of the Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were also adjusting their gun barrels.

Nearly ten thousand men of the supply troops were wiped out, and on the way to rescue them, they lost quite a few more troops.

"According to the combat sequence of the Nanjing Command."

Six kilometers outside Jinshan County!

"Only for Central Army units would Principal Chang be willing to let the German-equipped artillery go into action."

Went to Western countries to study abroad.

Deep down, he also felt more and more that what Kunisaki Noboru said made a lot of sense.

Upon hearing this!

For Tani Hisao, what he liked most was seeing the Republic of China Army trembling amidst the artillery fire.

When Hashimoto Ryuji went north to the Pingjin Region back then.

"The Imperial Army University does not yet know of it."

"Since new-style urban warfare is a tactic that has only just emerged."

"When my Tenth Army landed at Jinshanwei before, we were bombed by German-made 75 mm Bofors Mountain Guns."

Kunisaki Noboru had no choice but to briefly explain the new-style urban warfare he only half-understood to Tani Hisao.

After hearing this, Tani Hisao's eyes narrowed: "So desu ne!"

Only a German-equipped Division would possess such combat effectiveness.

Only officers who had studied abroad in the West could come into contact with new-style urban warfare and special operations.

"A telegram from General Tani Hisao of the Sixth Division."

When Tani Hisao learned that the Sichuan Army inside the city was actually in the civilian houses on both sides of the street.

Only then did Western countries begin to attach importance to it.

He began to recount his regiment's battle inside the city.

A Communications Soldier of the Heavy Artillery Brigade came before Brigade Commander Sumita Raishiro.

Sumita Raishiro put down the telegram in his hand and called for his Adjutant.

Tani Hisao said coldly: "Contact the Field Heavy Artillery Sixth Brigade immediately."

And as for the theory of new-style urban warfare, it is not as good as special operations.

As long as the Imperial Army's artillery fire arrives, it will all turn into ruins, damn it.

Kunisaki Noboru nodded, "Hai!"

And there were military academies conducting practical training for special operations.

Currently, there are nearly five thousand casualties; if they keep fighting, the Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment will be wiped out.

"This weak Republic of China Army actually knows this?"

The Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, which has two Heavy Artillery Regiments under its command, with each regiment possessing 24 150 mm Heavy Artillery pieces.

"Hai!" Tani Hisao's Communications Soldier nodded heavily.

"Could it be Principal Chang's German-equipped troops?!"

At the same time!

"Yoshi!"

Of course!

Therefore, Jinshan County is now facing 48 150 mm Howitzers.

The troops in Jinshan County must be a German-equipped Division!

However, regimental-level artillery is now being used in a concentrated manner.

What they still believe in is absolute artillery superiority, capable of destroying the enemy's will to fight.

Regarding special operations and new-style urban warfare.

Kunisaki Noboru had been in contact with Hashimoto Ryuji in the Pingjin Region.

"Hai!" His Adjutant nodded heavily, turned, and left to convey the order.

During his conversation with Kunisaki Noboru, the battle at Dunwu Temple had been mentioned.

When they constructed lateral Firepower Points, formed a Crossfire, and continuously shot down Imperial soldiers on the street.

"Could the troops garrisoning Jinshan County not be the Sichuan Army 144th Division?"

Kunisaki Noboru, who was to the side, immediately said: "Tani Hisao-kun!"

This place is absolutely safe; the artillery inside the city cannot reach the Heavy Artillery position at all.

In the Pingjin Region, the 6th Division is exactly like this, using artillery fire to destroy the fighting will of the Republic of China Army.

He firmly believes this!

No matter how tough the fighting will is, as long as it encounters the artillery fire of the Imperial Army, it is just like paper; it scatters at the first gust of wind.
