"Ha Yi!" The messenger immediately ran to deliver the message.
"Major General, Captain Kotaro Matsumoto mentioned to us that the 108th Chinese Brigade has heavy artillery, and it's a 150mm heavy artillery! Our regiment might not have as many cannons as the enemy.”Infantry Regiment Commander Utada said with a serious expression.
"Yes, of course I know this better than you, but we have a lot of cannons, and the information provided by Matsumoto Kotaro may not be accurate! Also, you have to believe in the strength of our artillery warriors! And I've placed our artillery position three kilometers outside Jin Zhou City. It will allow some of our small-caliber infantry cannons and field artillery to cover the entire Jinzhou City. We are not completely weak!”Kudo Ichiro smiled faintly. Sometimes, the larger the caliber of the cannon, the stronger you were. It depended on whether the artillery could play with it!
"Major General, you are right. I was too cautious.”Yu Duotian nodded and bowed.
"Alright, go and prepare. The first round of attack will be handed over to your infantry regiment. We must fire the first shot!”Kudo Ichiro said in a deep voice.
"Ha Yi!"
……
Finally, after half an hour of preparation.
Utada finally led his infantry regiment and slowly advanced, arriving one kilometer outside Jinzhou City.
At this moment, Li Hu and the others on the city wall of Jin Zhou saw the Japanese finally reveal themselves.
"Brigadier general, the Japanese have shown themselves. Should we call the artillery brothers to blast them?”Zhang Sanquan licked his lips and asked.
"There's no hurry. The Japanese have cannons too. If I'm not guessing correctly, we might have to fight the Japanese with cannons later! Let's go down first. Otherwise, we'll be dead if we get hit by the cannonballs.”Li Hu turned around and walked down the city wall.
"Ah?"
"Brigade Commander, what is GG?"
The few of them were stunned.
Was his boss that afraid of death?
……
"Regiment Commander, Utada is ready. We can fire now.”A subordinate said to Kudo Ichiro.
"Yuxi, let an artillery squadron fire first to test the enemy's situation.”Kudo Ichiro said.
"Ha Yi!"
At this moment, his 8th division, apart from losing Kotaro Matsumoto's infantry regiment, still had some cannons. A small portion of the cannons were left outside Shenyang City, and the rest were pulled over.
Kudo Ichiro's 8th division was one of the top 10 divisions, with a total of 150 cannons. Four of the infantry regiments had 48 cannons, 12 howitzers, and 36 field cannons. In total, they had 96 large and medium-sized cannons. In addition, there were also a large number of mortars. Counting these cannons, there were more than 150 of them!
However, he had lost an infantry regiment, which meant that he had lost 12 cannons, leaving 6 cannons in Shenyang City.
Now, the cannon he brought over was: There were 30 70mm Type 92 Infantry Cannons, 12 105mm Howitzers, 36 75mm Field Artillery Cannons, and more than 40 mortars.
With this kind of firepower, they could definitely defeat 99.9% of the Chinese army!
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, the current Chinese army, even if it was an elite division, only had 48 field cannons. Many troops in the southwest did not even have a single cannon!
This was the current situation.
Of course, even though the Japanese's A-class division's artillery configuration was awesome, if you looked at the artillery configuration of an American division, you would know that the Japanese's artillery configuration was weak.
The American Empire's infantry division had 15,000 soldiers, and their military strength was inferior to the Japanese's. However, the firepower of an American infantry division was much stronger than that of the Japanese army. An American infantry division had 12 155mm heavy artillery, 54 105mm howitzers, 68 anti-tank guns, and more than 140 mortars. Overall, the number of cannons in the American army was much higher than that of the Japanese, and they had a larger caliber and were more powerful.
However, Li Hu's cannons were not lacking either!
10 150mm howitzers, 50 105mm howitzers, and 95 mortars! Not counting the 30 anti-air cannons. The anti-air cannon could be used as a machine gun, and it could beat up a tank in minutes!
It was infinitely close to the artillery configuration of an American infantry division.
On the other hand, Kudo Ichiro's 8th division only had 12 105mm howitzers. Other than these 12 heavy artillery, the rest were small-caliber infantry cannons and field artillery. Their power was very weak compared to heavy artillery!
If Kudo Ichiro knew the actual number of cannons Li Hu had, would he choose to turn around and leave?
……
Three minutes later.
In the artillery position of an artillery squadron of the Japanese.
On the artillery position, there were a total of six 70mm Type 92 Infantry Cannons scattered in a row. Their muzzles were pointed at Jin Zhou City.
A Japanese artillery squadron leader said coldly,""Fire!"
"Ha Yi!"
"Train the coordinates!"
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Six 70mm Type 92 Infantry Cannons instantly emitted muffled sounds.
Bang bang bang!
Six artillery shells whistled toward Jin Zhou City.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All three of them landed in Jin City.
It instantly caused damage.
"Continue, adjust the position and continue the bombardment!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A minute later, two Japanese artillery squadrons and 12 70mm Type 92 Infantry Cannons began to bombard Jinzhou.
"Yuxi!" Kudo Ichiro used binoculars to see the explosion coming from Jinzhou City. He was very satisfied.
He was just waiting to see when the enemy inside would make a move!
Now, it was just a probing confrontation.
……
"Pass it down. Let our No. 1 artillery company kick down the Japanese's artillery position!”Li Hu said coldly when he saw the Japanese start to bombard him arrogantly.
Wasn't it just a competition of who had more cannons, who had better artillery, and who knew how to play better?
He was not afraid!
His cannons were not afraid of being blown up, he was not afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries, and he was not afraid of losing his artillery.
As long as they could kill the Japanese, it was their biggest goal!
A minute later.
Xiu, xiu, xiu, Li Hu counterattacked!
All 105mm heavy cannons counterattacked!
