Chapter 100 – Heavy Artillery

“Lu Biao, Lord Wang has an order. Your heavy artillery regiment will go with me to support the battle between the third division and the fourth division. This time, you must fight back the Japanese army’s breakout. Your heavy artillery regiment is the most important fire cover. But you must work hard to beat back the Japanese army. You are the most important fire support for the third and fourth divisions, so you must work hard!” Hu Wei said.

The head of the heavy artillery regiment, Lu Biao, immediately said: “Yes!”

The head of the heavy artillery regiment, Lu Biao, was Chen Liyan’s deputy when he was in the artillery regiment. After Chen Liyan went to the third division as the division commander, he took over the position of the artillery regiment commander. Next, Wang Guorui thought that the Japanese army would definitely send a large number of troops, so his firepower must be stronger, so he immediately started to form a heavy artillery regiment. And this landmark was once again promoted like a rocket, from the head of an ordinary artillery regiment to the head of a heavy artillery regiment. The reason why he was chosen was because he had a very long experience in leading the artillery, and he had always been Chen Liyan’s deputy, so he had a lot of experience. Moreover, his qualifications are also one of the first batch of regiment-level officers, so it is appropriate to be promoted now. And the status of this heavy artillery regiment is different. The biggest difference from ordinary artillery regiments is that the caliber of artillery of this heavy artillery regiment is different.

The other artillery regiments had thirty-six cannon, but this heavy artillery regiment had only twenty-four. But the caliber of the cannons of other artillery regiments is only 75 mm, but the caliber of the cannons of this heavy artillery regiment is a full 155 mm. This kind of cannon with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters is enough to cover an area as large as half a football field with artillery fire. This is simply very shocking, so this has become the most important fire support for the Taiwan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.

Other cannons weighed at most one ton, but this 155mm caliber heavy cannon weighed seven or eight tons. Even if the military dogs of the red police system are powerful, it still takes dozens of police dogs to pull a cannon, which shows that this kind of heavy cannon is heavy. However, compared with his effect, the weight is not unforgivable. So it is completely acceptable, no matter how heavy he is, he must be equipped.

This kind of heavy artillery is an important weapon for supporting the scale of troops at the group army level. It can be used as a cover for the army troops, as well as important firepower strikes. Next, this heavy artillery regiment will face the bombardment of several artillery regiments of the Japanese army, but Wang Guorui is very confident in the victory of this heavy artillery regiment. After all, the caliber and range of the two sides are different. In this era, range is axiom and caliber is justice. With this large-caliber and high-range heavy artillery, the 75mm caliber “small artillery” of the Japanese artillery regiment will inevitably be dizzy waiting to be blown up .

With this heavy artillery regiment. The firepower of the Japanese army was nothing at all. The Japanese army’s resources were scarce, and they didn’t have many cannons larger than 100 mm, which showed that their financial resources were tight. Even when the Japanese army arrived in World War II, those independent heavy artillery brigades composed of large-caliber heavy artillery were directly mobilized by the Japanese Central Headquarters, and ordinary subordinate troops were not qualified to use them directly. It can be seen that the heavy artillery units here are also very scarce for Japan. It’s something that can’t be dispatched easily. And even when Wang Guorui formed this heavy artillery regiment, he saw that a 155mm caliber cannon of this heavy artillery regiment cost more than 20,000 yuan, which immediately made Wang Guorui jump. With such a high number, twenty-four large-caliber heavy artillery pieces are enough to form a regular infantry division. A heavy artillery regiment is much more expensive than an infantry division. But Wang Guorui still chose to spend money to buy it, after all, he couldn’t live without the suppression of this heavy artillery. Artillery is the most important means of combat in this era. If there is no suppression of artillery, the defensive firepower of one’s own side will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it may not be able to withstand the enemy’s charge.

With the support of this heavy artillery regiment, the infantry of one division can fully exert the strength of several divisions, because if this artillery suppresses the enemy, the enemy will inevitably suffer heavy losses and be unable to counterattack. With such a powerful firepower, not many enemies in this era can withstand it. With one shot, at least dozens of people, and as many as hundreds of people will be wiped out. Such a powerful cannon is the most important weapon of the country, and it can be used as the treasure of the country. Therefore, now Wang Guorui has formed this heavy artillery regiment, once it is used when needed. That can completely make the Japanese suffer a big loss.

“Lu Biao, this time I started to transfer you to support the third and fourth divisions with Mr. Wang. This time our first and second divisions cannot leave, so we can only transfer you to increase the number of troops in the third division.” The firepower of the third division and the fourth division. The first division and the second division must prevent the Japanese army from attacking Tainan. Once Tainan is in danger, then we will offend Taiwan. So overall, only your heavy artillery regiment If it can be mobilized, then we are asking Master Wang to give me your heavy artillery regiment, only your firepower can help me destroy the enemy’s charge.” Hu Wei said.

Now the first and second divisions cannot support the third and fourth divisions, because no matter which division is in this encirclement, it cannot easily leave its post. Because the first and second divisions were responsible for preventing the Japanese army from attacking Tainan, once the Japanese army attacked Tainan, the people in Tainan would be in danger. Taiwan has now concentrated all the people in Tainan. There must be no problems in Tainan. If there is a problem, it may mean that Taiwan will fall.

“Chief of Staff Hu, please rest assured, I will definitely make good use of these cannons, and resolutely prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the positions of the third and fourth divisions. If the Japanese army breaks through the positions, then you can cut off my head! ” Lu Biao said.

And Hu Wei went on to say: “In the future, our artillery will inevitably have more and more, and in the future our heavy artillery will not only be a regiment, but we will even form an artillery division in the future. At that time, an artillery division will be able to have five More than ten heavy artillery pieces will be able to rely on the heavy fire support of an army group at that time, so artillery is still promising. Even in the future, a headquarters dedicated to artillery will be established, so that it can truly command all artillery forces. The status is very lofty. At that time, we hope to have a person with artillery experience and sufficient qualifications to serve as the chief of the artillery.”

And Lu Biao’s eyes lit up, obviously feeling that the future is good. As long as it can continue to develop, there will be more and more artillery, and it can even continue to expand, and it will become the leader of the artillery.

And Lu Biao was obviously moved by the bright future described by Hu Wei, because if the artillery can continue to expand, then it is not impossible for him to continue to do so. And artillery can foresee that it must be a very important arm in the future, and even artillery can change the outcome of a war. And Lu Biao dreamed that he might become the commander of the artillery in the future. After all, the status of the artillery was getting higher and higher in the future, so his status would also rise with the tide. As long as you can continue to work stably in the artillery, then you will definitely not be worse than most people in Taiwan’s system in the future.

And Wang Guorui also took the initiative to offer benefits to attract this landmark, after all, letting the horse run also let the horse graze. If it is not possible for people to have a future of continuous improvement, it will be impossible to retain talents, let alone retain people’s hearts. Only by letting everyone see that there is a steady stream of progress can everyone have centripetal force. If everyone can’t see the direction of progress, then it will definitely not keep people. Once a person reaches a certain position, he has long since gotten rid of the idea of fighting for the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, that is, he wants to obtain a better development prospect. If they couldn’t see a future for development with Wang Guorui, then they might just want to change jobs. At that time~www.mtlnovel.com~if Manqing extended an olive branch to them, then they have to run away? Everyone knows that the Taiwan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army will inevitably become a domestic force, so everyone wants to divide the cake as soon as possible at this time. In everyone’s eyes, Japan is almost out of reach. At this time, it is important to quickly gain benefits from this system. And Lu Biao also wants to determine his role. As long as he has a firm grasp of the artillery system, he will definitely gain huge benefits in the future.

“Soldiers, Lord Wang is watching us! As long as we can get these cannons ready, we will be able to get promoted and make a fortune together. At that time, as long as you can fight the Japanese pirates well and let them all die, then we We can all get promoted together and get rich together, and we can seal our wives and sons. At that time, when we go back, a large group of people will be vying to propose marriage for you. At that time, all women are at your disposal, then you will be honored. So, definitely Work hard!” Lu Biao also said loudly to the soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment.

Although Lu Biao’s words are very vulgar, they are also very touching. At this time, there is no nationalism and nationalism, that is, Chiguoguo’s rich and beautiful women can impress soldiers. Therefore, having enough wealth, enough honor, and enough excellent conditions can make soldiers be fooled into working hard. Now that everyone has heard this statement, it seems that they have more strength, and immediately drive the dog to pull the cannon forward. (To be continued.) xh118
