Chapter 307: Prelude to the Artillery Battle

The artillery brigade of the 60th Army was stationed between Dongzhuang and Huoshibu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Don't look at Zheng Youjian's boasting on the way to the Artillery Brigade of the Yunnan Army, but when he really got there, he immediately shouted nothing.

Not to mention Zheng Youjian, even all the personnel, including Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong, who had attended the Central Military Academy, were shocked!

The caliber of the field artillery of the Yunnan army is 75mm, and the maximum range is 9 kilometers, and the firepower is comparable to that of the Japanese field artillery.

That's it, but those cannons really made everyone in the quartermaster department smash their tongues!

Those cannons turned out to be the most advanced cannons in the world at that time produced by the Krupp factory in Germany!

The caliber of heavy artillery is 150mm, and the maximum range is 23 kilometers, while the caliber of the Japanese heavy artillery is only 115mm and the maximum range is 18 kilometers, and the power of these heavy artillery has far exceeded the Japanese heavy artillery!

When did the people in the Quartermaster Department ever see us Chinese have such advanced weapons? Compared with other people's guns, Zheng Youjian is pediatrics!

Besides, what kind of cannon are you playing with Zheng Youjian?

Although it is actually the lightest mortar, but it doesn't even have a cannon name, the daimyo grenadier is commonly known as a small steel cannon, and last time in Taierzhuang, two mortars with a larger caliber were captured, but so far there has been no shot!

Shocked, Zheng Youjian's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.

Don't look at Zheng Youjian's usual broken mouth, but he has an advantage, he will definitely judge the situation in front of outsiders.

When he saw the cannon of the Dian army, he immediately shut his mouth.

He hadn't played with the Krupp cannon of the Dian army, because his quartermaster department didn't have this equipment at all! Not only does he not have this equipment, but the entire Central Army does not have it!

As soon as he got in touch with the people of the artillery brigade and understood what kind of person their brigade commander was, Zheng Youjian had already begun to nod and salute the brigade commander as a disciple.

At this time, Zheng Youjian's attitude is called humility!

If you ask why, just look at the personal qualifications of the commander of the artillery brigade of the Yunnan Army.

Brigade commander Qiao Anbang is a native of Lijiang, Yunnan, when he studied in Vietnam, he was influenced by revolutionary fighters, abandoned literature and joined the military, graduated from the artillery department of the Japanese Army non-commissioned officer school, and later specialized in artillery at the military academy of the Soviet Socialist Union, and after returning to China, he served as an instructor of the artillery department of Yunnan Jiangwutang, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he led the team to participate in the war as the commander of the artillery brigade of the Yunnan Army.

His soldiers have all said that our brigade commander is really a sharpshooter, and after he calculates, the shells will definitely hit every shot.

Zheng Youjian is already very accurate in playing with grenadiers, and the hit rate is 100 percent, but people use genuine heavy artillery to shoot dozens of miles away, and the hit rate is 100 percent!

It's all 100 percent, but the heavyweight class is different!

This difference is like the sports of later generations, the Chinese people call table tennis the national ball and win the world championship, but if you take an Olympic 100-meter championship, or if you take a football World Cup championship, then look at it.

The former will be called the pride of the countrymen, but the latter will be called a national hero!

The heavyweight class is really different!

That brigade commander Qiao Anbang naturally learned about the origin of this logistics company that used him as a vigilance force through Shangfeng, and saw Zheng Youjian's nodding and not having the slightest military temperament, which was both angry and funny, and he had to say a few perfunctory words.

But Zheng Youjian doesn't care if you are perfunctory to me or not, he doesn't be polite to others, and he just opens his mouth to ask for advice on the cannon thing.

The brigade commander first replied casually out of politeness, but as Zheng Youjian's question gradually deepened, he actually put away his contempt, because he found that this fat man who looked extremely slippery really had a strong talent for fighting artillery!

Talent is a real thing.

There are two sides to everything, it is right to say that practice makes perfect, and diligence can make up for clumsiness, but it is absolutely impossible to deny the existence of talent, Zheng Youjian's talent lies in the innate judgment of numbers, spatial distance, and time interval, just like Huo Xiaoshan was born to react faster than ordinary people.

After chatting with Zheng Youjian for about half an hour, Qiao Anbang undoubtedly recognized Zheng Youjian's talent in artillery, and even left Zheng Youjian directly in their artillery position, telling Huo Xiaoshan that there is no such thing as this fat man, he is more suitable for artillery, and I will teach him.

Although Huo Xiaoshan did not expect this situation, how could he not be happy that Zheng Youjian had improved his artillery level, so he readily agreed, and he left the artillery position of the Dian army with other quartermaster personnel and began to strengthen the vigilance around.

After seeing the artillery of the Yunnan army, Shen Chong no longer regretted that he couldn't go to the front line to fight devils, because China's industry is weak nowadays, and it is really overjoyed to have such a cannon!

What does the advanced of the cannon mean? It means that the Chinese army, which has been bullied by the heavy firepower of the Japanese army, has the opportunity to bully the Japanese!

It means that the scene of the infantry flying flesh and bones under the heavy artillery can be replaced by the Japanese army this time!

It means that 50 percent of the casualties caused by the artillery bombardment before the infantry has yet to engage the battle, so that you Japanese can also taste it!

No matter how accurate your marksmanship is, no matter how powerful the white-knuckle combat is, taking Huo Xiaoshan as an example, you can kill ten Japanese soldiers at a time, but can you kill a hundred Japanese soldiers at a time?

Yes, Huo Xiaoshan was already evil, but in the night attack battle in Taierzhuang, you may have killed a hundred Japanese soldiers, but in the end, weren't you so tired that you hid in the pile of Japanese corpses and pretended to be dead?

But the cannon doesn't, it's more efficient at killing!

From this point of view, the importance of protecting this artillery brigade is self-evident, as a vigilant unit, you do not need to kill the enemy, if you can ensure that this artillery brigade is not attacked by the Japanese army, it is already a great achievement.

In later generations, an old man who drew a circle on the South China Sea said that "science and technology are the primary productive forces", but he did not know that behind this sentence was a modern history formed by the Chinese since the Opium War!

China, the country of the center, the state of the center.

How much this name sounds so revered, under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister!

However, in modern times, the Western powers have opened the door to this central country with strong ships and cannons.

They rely on two things.

One. Iron and steel, the people of the central country used iron plows for farming more than 2,000 years earlier than the West, and after the Westerners had steel, they used it to build huge ships that could sail the world.

Two. Explosives, the people of the Central Country first invented gunpowder for alchemy in order to achieve immortality, but Westerners used gunpowder to create its grandson, explosives, and combined it with steel to make guns.

So the peace-loving hearts of the people who are obsessed with the central country were beaten to pieces at the moment when the door of the country was knocked open!

The land was ceded and even lost permanently, the people were bullied, and even those who once thought they were the Celestial Empire were branded as the sick men of East Asia.

What is the reason for all this, and not because of these steel monsters in front of you?

And how can the people of the Quartermaster Department not be excited when they see these cannons today?

After the shock, everyone kept looking back at the cannons as they walked towards the outskirts of the artillery position, and then a thought came to everyone's mind: I can die, but it must live!!
