The Japanese's two artillery squadrons were bombarded by Li Hu's 10 105mm howitzers. The reason why the 50 105mm howitzers did not fire at full force was that it was impossible to expose all the cannons at the beginning of the battle. Once their positions were exposed, it would not be good for them.
Dong dong dong!
Every time a shell landed on the Japanese's position, it would cause a huge explosion.
One of the shots landed on a 92 Infantry Cannon and instantly blew four or five Japanese soldiers into pieces. Even the 92 Infantry Cannon was blown into scrap metal!
This was the power of the 105mm cannon!
"Baka, the Chinese people's cannons are counterattacking, and they are even 105mm heavy artillery. Find the position of the enemy's artillery and kill them!”Kudo Ichiro said coldly.
"Ha Yi!"
In fact, even without him saying it, the Artillery Regiment would have done it.
Immediately, the Japanese's 12 105mm howitzers opened fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, rounds of artillery shells landed on Li Hu's artillery position.
"Hehe, are the Japanese starting to counterattack? Pull out our 150mm howitzers and give them a devastating blow!”Li Hu said.
Soon, Li Hu's 12 150mm howitzers opened fire.
Dong dong dong!
The artillery battle between the two sides continued!
In just 20 minutes, the Japanese had lost 4 105mm howitzers, 13 92 infantry cannons, and 10 75mm field artillery due to Li Hu's advantage in heavy artillery.
It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
However, the Japanese probably realized that their artillery was not as good as Li Hu's, so they also exposed their artillery positions and planned to fight with injuries.
Therefore, Li Hu's side also suffered a lot of losses. So far, they had lost one 150mm howitzer and eight 105mm howitzers.
A total of nine were lost.
The Japanese lost a total of 27!
"How are our artillery losses?" Li Hu asked one of the cloned soldiers.
"Brigadier General, we have lost a total of 9 cannons. One of the 150mm howitzers and 8 of the 105mm howitzers are lost.”
"Hmm, this level of loss is still acceptable.”Li Hu nodded. However, it could be seen from this that the Japanese's artillery combat power was still quite good. They were actually able to make him lose 9 heavy artillery!
Of course, he didn't know that the Japanese had suffered even more losses! The Japanese were also a little afraid of Li Hu's artillery.
……
Just as Li Hu was complaining, the Japanese were about to stomp their feet!
"Bagayalu, Bagayalu! The Chinese had 40 to 50 105mm howitzers. How was this possible?”Kudo Ichiro was observing the exchange of artillery. When he saw the enemy's heavy artillery, he was stunned.
However, he did not order the Artillery Regiment to cease fire and move their cannons. Instead, they fought to the death.
He knew very well that if he could not deal with the artillery in this siege, he would have to use more infantry to bombard the enemy when the siege came.
Therefore, even if he had to trade injuries, he had to fight to the death with the Chinese people's cannons!
"The enemy has at least 8 150mm howitzers, maybe even 10 to 12.”Yu Duotian said with a heavy expression. This was his guess. Although there might be some errors in the actual data, it was almost accurate.
This was terrifying!
The enemy was only a brigade, yet they had so many heavy artillery. Their entire 8th division only had 12 105mm howitzers!
The rest were all ordinary caliber infantry cannons and field cannons…
"Regiment Commander, we've already lost more than a third of our cannons. Should we continue?”The advisor, Inohara, asked Kudo Ichiro with a bitter expression.
It had only been 20 minutes!
Although the enemy's cannons would definitely suffer losses, judging from how loud the enemy's cannons were, they were still firing at them one after another. It seemed that the losses were not too great.
If this continued, their 8th division's artillery regiment would be wiped out!
Inohara's words made Kudo Ichiro hesitate.
That's right, this was a way to exchange injuries for injuries. But in the end, when his cannons were all used up, what would happen to the remaining part of the enemy?
What should he do then?
No!
"Regiment Commander, it's not worth it for us to continue like this! We can use other methods to deal with the enemy.”Noticing Kudo Ichiro's hesitation, Ichiro continued.
"Yuxi, what you said is right. After such a long battle, we have roughly figured out the enemy's artillery configuration and location. Now, we will contact Lu Hang and ask him to bomb the enemy's artillery position!”Kudo Ichiro said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency Major General is wise and mighty!" Jing Zhiyuan praised.
It should have been like this a long time ago!
However, Lu Hang had to apply to the General Command of the Guan Dong Army!
It wasn't something that a division could casually use.
"Immediately send a telegram to General Tomoda Kenyoshi of the commander-in-chief, requesting the assistance of the Army. Also, explain our current situation and the enemy's artillery strength!”Kudo Ichiro said.
"Ha Yi."
A few minutes later.
At the headquarters of the Guandong Army.
General Kenyoshi looked at the emergency telegram in his hand and was slightly surprised.""This 108th Brigade actually has about 10 150mm heavy cannons and 40 to 50 105mm heavy cannons. No wonder Kudo Ichiro asked me for support from the Army!”
The enemy's artillery configuration was something that even their entire division could not compare to.
In fact, the two Regiments did not even have as many cannons as the enemy!
After all, a Class A division was only equipped with 12 105mm heavy artillery, and some special divisions only had six or less 150mm heavy artillery.
Look at the number of cannons the enemy has. It's too terrifying!
"Order Lu Hang to assist in the battle. Bomb Jinzhou City. The main goal is to destroy the enemy's artillery and cannons!”General Kenyoshi said.
"Ha Yi!"
