Chapter 1039: Heavy Artillery Ploughs

The army of the revolutionary party did not know that Wuxi City, which seemed to have no traces of people, in fact, there were countless eyes staring at them, and their every move could not escape surveillance, and among the preset targets in the northwest, the first area began to be densely covered with enemy troops, followed by the second, the third, the city set temporarily arranged in a hurry, without being discovered by the enemy, the enemy followed the guidance, kept entering a part of the urban area of Wuxi, which seemed to be slow, but in fact quickly went to death.

Zhao Ruiying didn't know whether the revolutionary army had conducted urban warfare drills, and this was also taken into account in the previous plan, but as far as I can see, there is no at all. Urban warfare is a kind of warfare that only appeared in modern times, and in the early years, most of the cities were made of masonry and stone, or simply mud embryo houses, for ordinary cold weapons, there is a certain resistance effect, in the era of thermal weapons, ordinary artillery can blow down a large number of houses, urban warfare is basically impossible.

Defense and offense are always the two contradictory directions of war, and when a stronger material, reinforced concrete material, appears, through reasonable configuration, so that it has a strength similar to steel, the city station begins to gradually differ from other wars.

Zhao Ruiying still remembers that when he was a company commander in the field corps, he first came into contact with urban offensive and defensive warfare, and he thought it was similar to ordinary warfare, but the real exercise taught him a solid lesson, in urban warfare, encounters, back attacks, interspersed, and guerrillas. It is not the focus of battle lines or regions, but the use of large and complex cities. Destroy the opponent as much as possible, the complexity and brutality of the war. Much more than ordinary wars.

Sometimes, the brutal can only be fought block by block, but at night, or with the help of other methods, to enter the back, under the premise of forming a superior force in a specific area, urban warfare can be achieved with less to win more, and even continue to bleed, for a long time. In the instructor's lesson plan. There is an extreme case of warfare, with less than 100 people, well-trained special forces, in a megacity, with the help of underground waterways and some pre-arranged hideouts and arsenals, dragging down at least one army, and continuously killing and wounding him for up to half a year, with a battle loss ratio of 100:1.

Of course, this is an extreme case. is generally not so tragic, just because of understanding, Zhao Ruiying thinks more about his own strengths when he is preparing. Mainly to guide the opponents, the city set was also an attempt, and now it has succeeded. The personnel of the other party were gradually concentrated on the square. The use of North-Western artillery facilitated, and these also became hammers that sounded the death knell.

Artillery in the north-west. In terms of the density of equipment, not only far exceeds the standards of China and East Asia, but also compared to the standards of Europe during the war, it is almost certain that the defending node cities are in an isolated position, and it is necessary to increase artillery, with artillery and automatic weapons, to make up for the difference in fewer personnel.

In this era of the army, the deterrent effect of large-caliber artillery is absolutely powerful, and it is common for an artillery to block an attack, or even block a considerable number of land forces.

As one of the most important nodes in the south, in the entire city of Wuxi, there are more than 500 cannons, of which, there are only more than 100 artillery pieces below 100 mm, and the rest are large-caliber heavy firepower, using these artillery, it is enough to divide most of the enemy, the permanent fortifications of the key nodes, the machine gun fire inside, can seal most of the enemy, release a quarter of the city, used to destroy all the enemies, such an exchange is possible, even after careful preparation, Consumption can even be reduced to a tiny degree.

Now, further, there is absolutely no need to provide a quarter of the urban area, the first to enter Wuxi army, has passed through the part of the city, under the cover of the city is not shocked, every time they are wrong, every time they are wrong, not only not deep into the city, but outward, in the edge of Wuxi, there are several large parks and green spaces, these are unobstructed, and the area is large Di Fan, I am afraid that it is the Japanese army and the revolutionary army, a natural assembly place, it is estimated that the revolutionary army entering the city of Wuxi, will also feel strange, In a city of more than a million people, there is no one for such a long time, as if it is a ghost.

In fact, the revolutionary party and the Japanese army are full of doubts, although at the beginning, the speed is very fast, almost the speed of the charge, but walking and walking, it slows down, Wuxi is a huge city, dozens of square kilometers of an area, they have charged for almost two kilometers in a row, it stands to reason that they have penetrated deep into the interior of Wuxi, but there is no enemy, it is difficult to do it, the people of the northwest heard the wind and fled, but said that the good wealth, no one has seen it, this is a prosperous, rich tax Wuxi ah.

There were several open areas ahead, and the officers consciously began to shrink their forces, and in the case of unclear intentions, they still sorted out the troops, and the dense houses around made them feel very safe, and the open land that was not a field would be attacked by superior artillery fire.

They have actually entered the misunderstanding of thinking, who said that the shooting boundary is blocked, and the flight of the shell, at a long distance, is a parabola, and the shooting boundary is blocked, and it is impossible to aim at the target, which is no problem, anyway, the northwest is not prepared to attack with a fixed point, and it is a covering attack, and the whole attack is the way, as long as the shooting is measured in advance, with the strength of the gunners in the northwest, it can easily cover the attack.

The lookout posts around the square sent back radio signals one by one, and the Japanese army and the revolutionary party's troops walked into the grave step by step, not only entering the preset area in the northwest, but also staying for a long time, 90,000 troops, almost 60,000 people entered, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhao Ruiying directly ordered to start attacking.

The red signal light, in the whole city of Wuxi, more than 200 different locations sounded, urban warfare, and the preset battlefield, early preparation, advance preparation is quite good, not only the use of the original wired telephone system, but also temporarily pulled up more than a dozen special lines, control the entire Wuxi troops, including artillery troops, assault troops, underground fortifications, etc., it seems that the Wuxi division is divided into 200 different parts, at any time, is a complete whole.

At this time, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and the sky had gradually brightened, and even some of the troops had discovered the problem of the city set, but unfortunately the fog of 90,000 people involved 6 different divisions, these troops, in addition to the ninth brigade of the Japanese, still maintained the establishment, the division of the revolutionary party, has been completely dispersed, which is also the fundamental reason for their assembly, it is easy to gather most of the people, and also know those city scenes, at this time, even if it is a fool, it is enough to find, There was a problem, and they were about to act, when countless screams suddenly came out, and they missed the last chance.

When the counterattack in the northwest began, it was doomed to their demise, and the large-caliber artillery first cleared several core areas, and the squares between those blocks became their assembly points, dense crowds, a high-explosive shell of more than 200 mm was enough to kill a company, or even more enemies, not to mention the larger caliber 350 artillery, which was an irresistible weapon of mass destruction for land warfare.

The roaring heavy artillery was coming, and a very small number of high-ranking officers in the revolutionary party army knew what it was, and they had no time to command, and they were in a hurry, and the personnel who were so easily assembled could not carry out anti-artillery drills at all. Of course, the Japanese officers knew that they could not use it, after all, they were wrapped in a large number of Kuomintang troops, and after they entered the city, they assembled in a square, but this square became their nightmare, and most of the first wave of artillery fire was concentrated here.

The military uniforms of the Japanese are obviously different from those of the revolutionary party, so that they have become the focus of the attack, no matter what, the revolutionary party is also considered a compatriot, and there is more or less one hand left in the fight, Zhao Ruiying used only deterrence and defeat against the revolutionary party army, and the artillery did not choose the center, but only hit the position on the edge, not a devastating blow.

But for the Japanese, no one will be soft, you know, the current northwest has declared war with Japan, 500 artillery pieces, except for more than 100, the rest are concentrated on the Japanese, more than 9 into 5 large-caliber concentrated here.

The Japanese are also unlucky, almost 7 percent of the brigade, 10,000 people concentrated in this square of almost 20,000 square meters, they are more professional than the revolutionary party, and even do a good job of defense, with more than a dozen machine gun positions, aimed at the surrounding blocks, can be 400 artillery concentrated bombardment, including all 48 heavy guns of more than 200 mm, these heavy artillery specially obtained from the northwest, all of them are infantry anti-personnel shells, almost the 20,000 square meters, wrapped in water, In every inch of land, a large number of steel balls have been plowed through.

That's right, it's a plow, don't let go of any area, this place named Shengquan Square, was originally a very good park in Wuxi New Town, a place to enjoy the cool and relax, under the attack of countless steel balls and heavy artillery, almost became a ruin, and later statistics, a total of 3,500 rounds of large-caliber high-explosive shells and infantry anti-personnel shells, fell to this area, an average of 6 square meters smashed down a large-caliber artillery, plus more than 10,000 rounds of artillery of other calibers, almost every square meter has a crater. The final result was that of the 10,348 Japanese troops, only more than 30 were intact, and more than 800 survived, but among the 800 who survived, at least more than 700 were seriously injured and disabled.

It is equivalent to an artillery bombardment, and this Shengquan Square was reimbursed together with seventy percent of the Japanese brigades, and the effect was excellent. (To be continued......)
