Zhao Xian took a deep breath and fell silent.
He knew that both strategically and tactically, what the captain said was correct. The enemy had only sent out a few Type 92 infantry cannons, so there was no need to risk being discovered by the enemy.
Right now, the Japanese only had two regiments of artillery under their jurisdiction, and only a dozen Type 92 Infantry Cannons. Their 2nd Field Artillery Regiment and the temporary Field Artillery Brigade had not arrived yet, so it was not a wise move to expose their artillery units.
The commanders of both sides understood this logic. They were just a side dish before the final battle. They were testing each other's combat strength and had not used their true strength.
Therefore, on the morning of the first day of the battle, the Japanese pirates only launched a few probing attacks. They were repelled by the powerful firepower of the Northern Battlefront Army before they could reach 100 meters.
The 3rd Regiment of the Northern Battlefront Army, which was attacked, had three battalions in rotation. Every time they fought, there would be two battalions and one battalion as a reserve. Although the morning's low-intensity battle was very short, it made the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the Northern Battlefront Army grow quickly.
At noon, the Japanese pirates withdrew from the battlefield and began to rest and eat lunch. The cooks of the Northern Battlefront Army also started to make a fire and cook. They served the soldiers in the trenches a bowl full of white rice and meat, with white rice and kimchi to fill their stomachs.
The other regiments were eating normally, but the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment, who were participating in actual combat for the first time, had lost their appetite due to the smoke from the battlefield. They did not finish most of the lunch they had prepared. Many soldiers even vomited when they thought of their comrades who had their heads blown up or knocked down next to them. Blood and brains splattered all over the ground.
The instructors of the various companies immediately went forward to calm the soldiers down.
At the front line command post, Xue Lin arrived at the battlefield just in time for dinner. Several senior officers sat down in the command post with the same white rice and meat as the soldiers and chatted about the situation at the front line.
"What about the attacked 3rd regiment?”Xue Lin sat on an ammunition box and took a bite of rice as he asked Zhen Chen beside him.
"Right now, the Japanese pirates are only testing the waters, so the pressure on the 3rd Regiment isn't that great. In the morning battle, they even took the opportunity to rotate the soldiers of three battalions, letting the new recruits experience what a battlefield is like.”After Zhen Chen finished his report, he quickly took a mouthful of rice. The men in the military camp ate quickly.
Xue Lin nodded, chewing on the sour and refreshing Northern Region pickled vegetables.
Currently, he had five light infantry regiments under his command, and the only one that could really fight against the pirates was the 1st regiment that was adapted from the bandit alliance. The other four regiments were all recruits who had only received intensive training and joined the Red Guard as basic officers. Their combat strength was probably only slightly higher than the militia.
Therefore, after learning that the main force of the Japanese pirates was the 2nd division, Xue Lin and Chief of Staff Chen Zhen came up with a plan to sharpen their weapons in ten days.
With the advantage of artillery and air power, they would send the new recruits to fight the strongest 2nd division of the Wei pirates, using the blood on the battlefield to hone this unit!
"When the rest of the heavy artillery troops arrive, this battle will be difficult to fight.”After Xue Lin finished his meal, he wiped his mouth, picked up the tea on the table, and took a big gulp.
"How are you going to get rid of their heavy artillery?" he asked Zhen Chen.”
"As long as we can find them, we can easily take care of the enemy's heavy artillery, whether it's the air force or our heavy artillery.”Zhen Chen also finished eating and handed the lunch box to the guard.
He came to the table, picked up a pencil, and pointed at the back of the Fanjiatun Japanese pirate command post."The 2nd Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese pirates mainly consists of 105mm cannons and 155mm howitzers. The temporary heavy artillery brigade has a few 240mm howitzers and 150mm heavy cannons.”
"You mean Domenr will concentrate the artillery?”Xue Lin's gaze stopped at Fanjiatun Station.
When the two heavy artillery units of the Wei pirates arrived, there would be at least 40 105mm heavy artillery and 4-8 240mm howitzers. This level of artillery was considered military-grade heavy artillery in the west. Once fired, it could cause damage within a hundred meters, and it could directly create a crater that was three meters deep and ten meters wide.
If the heavy artillery troops of the Japanese pirates were deployed, they would be the biggest threat to the Changtun defense line and the new recruits of the Northern Battlefront Army!
In order to take back Spring City, the key city that had stopped the South Manchurian railway, the pirates had put in a lot of effort.
"On the contrary, with the air force's attack, I don't think Domenr will gather these heavy artillery in one artillery position. But he definitely won't expect our spies to be everywhere!”Zhen Chen said firmly.
Xue Lin nodded. With the spies produced by the Red Alert system and the fact that the Japanese and Da Qian people were both East Asian, the difference was not big. The Red Alert spies could easily imitate the low-level soldiers of the Japanese army and directly use the local accent of the Japanese to obtain all kinds of information from the Japanese army.
At 2 PM, the 15th Brigade and the 30th Infantry Regiment escorted the 2nd Artillery Regiment to the battlefield. The 2nd Regiment Commander Domenr ended his probing of the Changtun defense line and began to attack.
