7.68 15 cm howitzer

On the evening after Shen Lao Er left, Shi Jincai, commander of the artillery regiment directly under the 25th Group Army, rushed to Wang Shankui's 100th Army headquarters in a truck with an artillery battalion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, the "big guys" brought back by the 121st Division from Liangxiadian kept appearing in Shi Cannon's mind. For Shi Jincai, this is both a torment and a happiness!

Since the commander of the artillery battalion of the 100th Army had never seen such large-caliber artillery before, Wang Shankui could not tell Shi Jincai what model of the batch of cannons captured by the 121st Division was through a telegram, but the caliber of the artillery The artillery of the 100th Army helped Shi Jincai to measure it.

All 15 centimeters! And there are 12 of them! When he saw the caliber and number of artillery written on the telegram, Shi Jincai was about to go crazy with joy!

In the past, when artillery battles were fought with the Japanese army, in front of the 105 and 150 caliber howitzers equipped by the Japanese artillery wing, the largest caliber mountain guns and field guns of the artillery battalion were always completely suppressed. So much so that Shi Jincai could only take the artillery regiment to fight the time difference with the devils, and take advantage of the Japanese army's artillery bombardment to sneak attack immediately after a sneak attack! Otherwise, his artillery regiment would suffer a big loss under the fire retaliation of the Japanese army!

To put it simply, if Shi Jincai's artillery regiment and the Japanese artillery wing with 150mm howitzers were engaged, the two sides would be of the same order of magnitude in terms of the size of their forces and the number of artillery. But in the process of fighting, almost every time, the artillery regiment was passively beaten from beginning to end! The difference in the range and firepower of the artillery used by both sides is there, and it is difficult to make up for it by other means. Even if Shi Jincai's artillery regiment can fire first and hit first, if it can't destroy the Japanese artillery positions at one time, once the Japanese large-caliber artillery comes to its senses, a salvo can sweep away the entire artillery position of the artillery regiment!

The range of artillery is not as good as others, the power is not as good as others, coupled with the gap in the quality of artillery between the two sides, how do you say this battle will be fought?

All these reasons are precisely the key reasons why the role played by the artillery regiment in the previous operations of the Huang Haoran group is not obvious!

Due to the fact that the artillery regiment has been "bullied" by the Japanese large-caliber artillery for a long time, Shi Jincai and his artillerymen's desire for large-caliber artillery has reached its peak! Wang Shankui's telegram was a joy for Shi Jincai and his artillery regiment!

A cannon of 15 cm caliber! There are only a few dozen in total! Who would have thought that the 121st Division would actually help the artillery regiment get 12 at once!

It's like a dream!

Before the trucks of the transport team could stop, Shi Jincai opened the door and jumped to the ground from the cab! Then asked aloud:

"Where's my cannon? Where's my cannon? ”

The officer who came to the 100th Army to be responsible for handing over the artillery to the artillery was Li Yuhe, the commander of the 139th Division.

"Captain Shi! Don't be in such a hurry! Those cannons are already your artillery regiment's! I can't run away if I go to see it later! ”

Li Yuhe's words Shi Jincai only listened to less than half of them, and at this moment, Shi Jincai's eyes couldn't see anything except the cannon!

"I'm going to see those cannons right now! Get started one second earlier, form combat effectiveness one second earlier! These are the words of the commander! Master Li! It's better to have someone take me to see the cannon earlier! ”

Shi Jincai was obviously talking to Li Yuhe, but his eyes were looking around, although the night was dark, but the night couldn't stop Shi Jincai's hot eyes looking for the cannon!

Get! Why are all the people who come today who are not on the way? First, there was a "robbery" of Commander Shen, and now there is a "recognizance of artillery but not people" Commander Shi! The two of them seemed to have discussed, and they didn't even have a kind word of gratitude to the 100th Army! It's as if the 121st Division should go to the store twice!

"Ahem! Captain Shi! The commander's words will naturally not be wrong, but you see, our 100th Army worked so hard to get this batch of artillery back......"

Li Yuhe said this to remind Shi Jincai that he should at least say something to thank the 100th Army, who knew that Shi Jincai's cannon barrel actually understood, and thought that Li Yu and the 100th Army were in charge of the artillery regiment to benefit!

"Good money no! Kill it! In the future, when your 100th army calls for artillery support, I will give you more shells! ”

"It's... This... Captain Shi! You are mistaken! I mean that our 100th Army worked so hard to get these cannons back, and I will give them to you Commander Shi! Should Commander Shi say a few words of encouragement to our 121st Division? The regimental commander who captured the artillery is called Zheng Tao! I used to be an old man of the 99th Division......"

Li Yuhe was worried that Shi Jincai would spread his erroneous understanding to the group army headquarters, so he hurriedly spoke out to explain it! In Huang Haoran's eyes, the position of the artillery regiment is not low, since the formation of the first artillery, Huang Haoran's principle of treating artillery is to hold and hold it!

If Shi Jincai ran to Huang Haoran to accuse the 100th Army of "blackmailing" the artillery regiment, it would be troublesome!

"Oh! Ahh You said it earlier! Master Li! A few words of encouragement! A few words of encouragement should be encouraged....."

Shi Jincai, who realized that he had made a misunderstanding, was also a little embarrassed, he touched the back of his head with his left hand, and then said to Li Yuhe: "Thank you to the 100th Army for providing so much help to the artillery regiment, I will definitely ask the General Assembly for the 100th Army!" And 121 divisions! And that Captain Zheng! ”

Li Yuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's dangerous! I almost sent a cannon to send an "enemy"!

"Thank you for your encouragement! Please! Let's take the cannons! ”

"Good! Master Li, please first! ”

Shi Jincai is an artilleryman in the end, he has drunk a lot of ink, and although he speaks and acts a little horizontally, he is not as unreasonable as Shen Laoer. Li Yuhe finally found a little psychological balance for the 100th Army......

"Head Shi, please look! Those cannons of yours are just behind the small hill in front, and since the 121st Division got this batch of cannons, the devil bombers have come every day like flies! If it weren't for the introduction of such a hidden place by the local people, it would be difficult for these cannons to be preserved! ”

Shi Jincai expressed his deep agreement with Li Yuhe's words, the Japanese army's greatest threat to the artillery regiment is not the Japanese artillery, but these Japanese army aviation in the sky! Whether it is marching or fighting, Shi Jincai's artillery regiment is the priority target of the Japanese army! Compared with the infantry, the movement of artillery is much greater, and once the large carts and small vehicles are dispatched, they can be pulled out for several miles! In order to avoid the artillery regiment being bombed by the Japanese army aviation, Shi Jincai was not less worried!

If the Japanese artillery seriously suppressed the combat capability of the artillery regiment, then the Japanese army aviation seriously threatened the existence of the artillery regiment! It was based on the same concerns as Shi Jincai that Huang Haoran handed over most of the anti-aircraft machine guns and all the anti-aircraft guns to Shi Jincai. It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Haoran's group army headquarters did not have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower!

The 121st Division was able to return from Liangxiadian with so many artillery and military vehicles, although there were reasons why the Japanese army did not have time to react in a short time and it was dark at that time, but it could not but be said to be a kind of luck!

"Just hide it! Just hide it! I finally got so many large-caliber guns, and I fainted back smoothly, it would be too heartwarming to let the devil plane mess up the situation......"

Shi Jincai praised the ingenious arrangement of the 100th Army, and at the same time motioned to the driver with his hand to speed up again! This period of darkness is very precious to the artillery regiment, and the artillerymen of Shi Jincai not only have to use this time to complete the inspection and reception of artillery, but also have to use this time to drag these artillery to the artillery positions that have been set up in the rear of Taierzhuang.

The night sky without Japanese planes is the most pleasant "activity time" of the artillery regiment every day, and once the day dawns, the artillery regiment becomes difficult to move an inch.

Damn devil planes!

****************************************************

"Password!"

"Jing Zhong! Rebate! ”

"Serve the country!"

In order to ensure the safety of these cannons, the 100th Army arranged a regiment to stand guard for these cannons, and after several sentry checkpoints, Shi Jincai was finally going to see his "15 cm"!

The artillery wrapped in tarpaulin hung on the back of a Japanese military truck, and the officers and men of the 100th Army were so careful that they had already scraped off the Japanese logo on the truck and changed the color of the paint. This is all done to better protect these guns and vehicles.

The appearance of one or two Japanese military vehicles in the hinterland of the Chinese army is already amazing enough, not to mention that the 121st Division got back 50 at once, if these Japanese military vehicles are driven through the market, the bad impact is still secondary, and the most afraid of attracting the attention of traitors and Japanese spies, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling the Japanese that the Japanese military supplies looted by the 121st Division are here, and come and bomb them?

"Chu Dashan! Pull me away from the tarpaulin! I'm going to see what exactly these guns are! Battalion Commander Han, you take someone to check the ammunition truck and tractor, and pay attention to whether there is special equipment in the cab and compartment! ”

"Yes!"

Shi Jincai gave a series of orders as he got out of the car, and the battalion of artillery he brought quickly rushed out of the compartment of the truck, and then ran towards the artillery and the truck in a squad.

"One, two, three! Pull! ”

"Boom la la ......"

As the tarpaulin was torn off, the whole picture of "15 cm" was finally displayed in front of Shi Jincai's eyes!

Taisho four-year 150mm field howitzer!

Shi Jincai recognized the model of this howitzer at a glance! Shi Jincai is all too familiar with the suppressive weapons used for per capita infantry divisions, regimental field artillery units and independent field heavy artillery brigades!

Barrel length: 2190.0mm (L14.7);

Weight: 2800kg;

Gun pitch angle: -5to +65.0 degrees;

The maximum firing range is 8800 meters.

This Taisho four-year 150mm field howitzer is very light in weight and high in accuracy, the only problem is that it is old, and the earliest model has appeared in the Japanese artillery corps since 1915.

However, the Taisho four-year style captured by the 121st Division were all brand new, and they should be supplemented by the North China Front Army to the Isogu Division.

"Huh! Why are there still 6 doors that I haven't seen? ”

After carefully inspecting the Taisho four-year style in front of him, Shi Jincai suddenly found that the 12 150 howitzers were not the same model! In addition to the 6 Taisho 4th style that Shi Jincai knew, there were also 6 artillery pieces that were obviously much more advanced! These guns should be new howitzers equipped with the Japanese army!

"What? There is also artillery here that Commander Shi has never seen before? ”

Li Yuhe always thought that Shi Jincai knew everything about artillery! In Huang Haoran's team, Shi Jincai has always played the role of an artillery expert! If even he can't figure it out, then he can only ask the big nose in the German advisory group!

"It's easy to get to know! That's all the little devil is good about, brainless! I especially like to engrave the model name of the weapon on the weapon, and I think the model number must have been written on this gun! Chu Dashan! Look for it! It's not the Taisho four-year style next to you! Look for the door behind you! Take a closer look at the baffle and the running bolt, the devil likes to make a name for himself on it! ”

"Got it! Tuanza! ”

After Chu Dashan received the order, he took two artillery soldiers to run to a new howitzer and began to search, seeing Shi Jincai's practice, Li Yuhe knew that Shi Jincai was equivalent to indirectly admitting that he didn't know these new cannons! I don't even recognize this, so can I still do it?

"Captain Shi! The different models of this gun don't even have the same usage, right? Just like the Hanyang and 38 big covers, although the models are different, it is not difficult to use them interchangeably, right? ”

Shi Jincai understood what Li Yuhe was worried about, and he said to Li Yuhe with a smile: "The truth is similar to what you said, but if you don't know the model, it is difficult to understand the parameters of the artillery, and if you want to exert your full power, you have to try slowly!" You'll have to feed it with cannonballs! I feel wasted that such large-caliber shells are used for experiments, even if they are used to shoot at some secondary targets! So it's better to figure out the model! Maybe the Military Council will have information on these artillery.

"Tuanza! Got it! It's the ninety-six style! ”

"Ninety-six style! I've never heard of this name!! It's really the latest howitzer! I think it should be given to the 10th Division by the North China Front! Hey! It's cheap now! ”

got Chu Dashan's answer, Shi Jincai rubbed his hands happily!

Shi Jincai's 96-type 150mm field howitzer is a new type of howitzer that the Japanese army began to equip in 1937, and it is used to replace the Meiji 38-type and Taisho 4-year howitzers that are widely equipped in the Japanese army. The Type 96 150mm field howitzer has very good shooting accuracy and long range, and is called the "most perfect" howitzer by the Japanese army, of course, only compared with the Japanese-made howitzer.

Due to the high cost of the Type 96 howitzer, the Japanese artillery on the Chinese battlefield had an absolute advantage, so this latest type of artillery was not supplied to the Japanese artillery units on the Chinese battlefield in large quantities. The entire Japanese North China Front has only been equipped with an artillery wing so far, and it is really because seeing that the 5th Division and the 10th Division are both in a bitter battle in Linyi and Tengxian, the commander of the Japanese North China Front, Toshikazu Terauchi, specially allocated 12 doors to Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Isoya!

Due to being repelled by Zhang Zizhong in Linyi, Seishiro Itagaki did not have the face to accept the "gift" from Commander Shouichi Terauchi and chose to refuse to accept it. And Ryosuke Isoya used these guns as props to cheer up the Seya detachment, and as a result, the 121st Division took advantage of the fire to rob the two stores!

Under such a mistake, Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army was actually equipped with the most advanced artillery on the battlefield of Taierzhuang!

"Tuanza! Here is the instruction manual for this Type 96 howitzer! It should have been handed over to the Japanese artillerymen with the cannon, but it was all in Japanese! Just know a few square words! ”

The surprise given by Chu Dashan had not yet receded from Shi Jincai's mind, and the battalion commander Han who was inspecting the ammunition truck sent a better news!

Shi Jincai took the howitzer user manual and flipped through it roughly, although he didn't know those Japanese characters, but someone in the 25th Army understood it!

There are a gang of "Japanese traitors" in Tegaoke, isn't it easy to translate this manual?

Thinking of the happy place, Shi Jincai hugged his fists and said to Li Yuhe and Langsheng:

"No problem now! Master Li! With this thing! I can use any kind of cannon to make money! Pressed for time! Gotta get out with these howitzers! I won't say more kind words! When I go back, I will definitely ask the commander for your department! 12 150 howitzers! That Captain Zheng is definitely going to be promoted this time! ”

"Head Shi is polite! Thank you very much! Do you want me to send someone to escort you back? ”

Li Yuhe returned a military salute and smiled very reservedly.

"No need! With so many cannons, it would have been a big move! If Division Commander Li sends a large group of infantry again, it will be too conspicuous! On the contrary, it is easy to attract the attention of others! ”

Shi Jincai directly declined Li Yuhe's kindness, and the artillery and infantry were separated by mountains, and it was also a matter of knowledge to hide the wrong whereabouts. Although Li Yuhe's words were out of good intentions, Shi Jincai couldn't accept it.

"Since that's the case, then Li will leave! I also hope that Commander Shi will remember what you said when you first came, when the 100th Army needs artillery support, shoot a few more shells! ”

"That's a lie to say that there are more shells! The base is fixed, and the numbers are the same, but you can use a larger gun, or a newer one! ”

Shi Jincai was in a good mood when he got the cannon, and he was joking with Li Yuhe at the moment, Li Yuhe was also very happy when he saw Shi Jincai so happy, it seems that not everyone is like Commander Shen, just taking advantage of it without bleeding......

****************************************************

"Section Chief! Captain Koizumi, this guy said bad things about you again in front of Chief of Staff Fan Taijun and Deputy Commander Wang Taijun! Say that the section chief, you have deducted funds and military salaries from the action team and the detective team! I heard that Captain Koizumi is still courting Park Zhengxiong, the North Korean, if the action team and the detective team form an alliance, then the situation of our special high-tech department is very bad! ”

The 25th Army's Special High Branch, the Ono who had been captured by Zhao Tiehammer during the defensive battle of the Changshu Defense Line, was reporting to his section chief, Colonel Sasaki, the latest information he had gathered.

As the 25th Army captured more and more Japanese prisoners of war, Ono was promoted, and now Ono has become a capable captain under Sasaki The head of the intelligence team!

Don't look at Sasaki's subordinates, there are less than 100 Japanese traitors, but the stall is big enough, and there are 9 of them in the "Anti-Japanese Intelligence Group" alone! Like a confidential room, a secret room, and a security room! In Xu Xinghua's words, this Sasaki regards himself as the emperor of Japan! It's a pity that it's the captured Emperor of Japan!

"Eight Tooth Road! Harunichiro Koizumi, this bastard! How I took care of him when he took refuge with the commander! I also recommended him to Director Xu Taijun! As a result, this bastard actually betrayed me! Want to take my place! Repeat the dark arrow in the back! Now I'm in collusion with the lowly North Koreans again! It's just that I don't even want to be cheeky! Ono-kun! I really doubt that Harukichiro Koizumi is a warrior of our Wa Kingdom! ”

Sitting behind the desk, Sasaki is wearing a straight Chinese army uniform, and Sasaki has always cherished the image!

As for why Sasaki calls Japan the Wakuni, it is also related to Lieutenant Colonel Harukhiro Koizumi, who is now the leader of the detective team.

Because the surrendered "Japanese traitors" always unconsciously uttered words like "the Great Japanese Empire," there were often incidents in which "Japanese traitors" were beaten up by officers and men of the 25th Group who passed by. For this reason, some "Japanese traitors" were even seriously injured, resulting in "non-combat attrition." In order to protect the lives of the "Japanese traitors", Koizumi Haruichiro, who was still a lieutenant under Sasaki at the time, took the initiative to make a request to Xu Xinghua: I hope that the "Japanese traitors" will be allowed to replace Japan with the Japanese state in their work in the future! As a result, Xu Xinghua was very happy and agreed to Koizumi Harukichiro's request!

It was also by taking advantage of this opportunity that Harukichiro Koizumi got the opportunity to perform in front of Xu Xinghua, and since then, Harichiro Koizumi has climbed to the position of captain of the detective team step by step.

Today's internal traitors and traitors are divided into three opposing forces, Sasaki's special high-tech department, Koizumi Haruichiro's detective team, and Park Zhengxiong's action team are three-legged!

Sasaki is not worried about Park Zhengxiong and his North Koreans, Sasaki knows very well that in the mind of Huang Haoran, the great prince, the role of "traitor" is extremely limited! Moreover, there are not many North Korean soldiers in the Japanese combat sequence on the Chinese battlefield at present, which means that it is difficult for Park Zhengxiong's power to be expanded! And the prisoners of war from Japan are still entering the 25th Army in a steady stream!

The total number of "Japanese traitors" has begun to gradually catch up with the number of "Korean traitors", and there are still a group of Japanese soldiers in the prisoner of war camp of the 25th Army who refuse to surrender, and Sasaki believes that he will soon be able to ignore Park Zhengxiong!

The real danger is still Haruichiro Koizumi! First of all, Harunichiro Koizumi is also Japanese! It can also be easily supported by the "Japanese traitor"! Although Sasaki's qualifications are relatively old and his prestige in the "Japanese traitor" is relatively high, all this is unreliable!

Where can the "Japanese traitors" who are willing to betray Japan and save their lives have any loyalty to speak of? As long as Harukichiro Koizumi can give more benefits, betrayal is just a matter of ease with the "Japanese traitor"!

What's even worse is that Harukichiro Koizumi seems to have caught up with Director Xu, Taijun! Although the commander is the one who controls the fate of the "Japanese traitors", isn't there a saying in China that "county officials are not as good as being in charge"? If Director Xu Taijun really decides to support Harukhiro Koizumi, then Sasaki's good days will come to an end!

After being fully replaced by Koizumi Haruichiro, will Sasaki, who has no value, still be able to enter the eyes of the commander Taijun?

Everything is unknown!

So Sasaki can't take this risk!

Sasaki wants to make meritorious service! Sasaki wants to suppress Harichiro Koizumi! Of course, the premise of all this is that you can't be caught by Harukichiro Koizumi!

But Sasaki can't change his greedy habits! Since becoming a "Japanese traitor", Sasaki's entire hobby is only money and power! It's too difficult to get him to give up half of his hobbies at once!

Finally, Harukichiro Koizumi grabbed Sasaki's handle!

"Section Chief! Shouldn't you go and contact Deputy Commander Taijun Wang to get in touch with each other, such as giving some gifts or something! After Director Xu Taijun went to Wuhan, Commander Taijun said that everything we do is decided by Deputy Commander Wang! As long as Deputy Commander Wang Taijun speaks to protect you, Captain Koizumi will definitely be a hedgehog eater---- and there is nowhere to put his mouth! ”

"Bastard! It's the turtle that eats the hedgehog---- nowhere to put its mouth! Ono-kun! You'd better use fewer idioms in the future! It's hard for me to master such an advanced language! ”

"That's that! In fact, the king of the eight turtles has one meaning!"

After showing his "profound" "idiom skills", Sasaki smiled, compared with Koizumi Chunichiro, being proficient in Chinese should be Sasaki's biggest advantage! In addition to these "advanced idioms", the rest of Sasaki is still relatively well understood.

"How could Deputy Commander Wang Taijun be rare of our gifts! The financial resources of the entire 25th Group Army are in the hands of Deputy Commander Taijun Wang, and he must have made a fortune a long time ago! The pitiful military salary deducted from the detective team and the action team really can't be put on the table! You have to find another way! ”

Hearing that Sasaki overturned his suggestion, Captain Ono showed an embarrassed expression, he frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke: "If only Takeda-kun's decipherment room was still in the hands of our special high-tech department, as long as we can decipher a few valuable Japanese telegrams, it must be a great credit!" ”

"Yes! It's a pity that Director Xu Taijun has already set aside Takeda-kun's decipherment room separately and is under the direct jurisdiction of Song Renyi, the director of the confidential office, and we won't be able to see Takeda-kun at all, let alone engage in intelligence! Are there any recent attacks that require our cooperation? This battle feat, it will not be easy to get......"

Ono's words made Sasaki feel overwhelmed, now the main force of the 25th Army has no direct contact with He Rijun, and it is extremely difficult for Sasaki's "Japanese traitors" to find an errand to "lead the way", and the 121st Division fought a battle some time ago, but with such a unit, the "Japanese traitors" did not dare to go.

In the final analysis, within the 25th Army, only the 99th Division and the 139th Division valued the value of these "Japanese traitors", and the "Japanese traitors" also wanted to act together with the 99th Division or the 139th Division.

Now that the 99th Division and the 139th Division are staying near Taierzhuang, which is far away from the battle area, the "Japanese traitors" have naturally been helped.

"Bell ......"

At this time, the phone on Sasaki's desk rang, Xu Xinghua didn't install many phones for the "Japanese traitor", except for Sasaki, the chief of the special special section and several intelligence departments, even a lieutenant colonel captain like Ono had to run to communicate and do things.

So as long as the phone rings, either the following "Japanese traitors" have made important discoveries, or the "Taijun" has some orders!

"Hello! I'm Sasaki! Are you...? Yes! It turned out to be the commander of the artillery regiment, Taijun! Hello hello hello! What's the matter? Translating documents? Absolutely no problem! I'm going to get people running right away...... No! I'm running over by myself! You don't have to send a car! You're so kind! Oh! It's for military affairs! That's that! I stood at the door and waited! ”

After putting down the phone, Sasaki's eyebrows suddenly became fluttering! He said to Ono, "Great! The artillery regiment wants us to translate some documents in Japanese! And said to send a car to pick us up! I guess this must be something urgent! The last time Taijun of 188 asked me to pass, his face didn't let me take a sip! This time, I actually sent a car! Ono! Here's our chance! I decided to take you with me! ”

"Thank you for your appreciation!"

Captain Ono was so happy that his voice changed!

"Type 96 150mm field howitzer

Barrel length: 3523.0mm (L23.6)

Weight: 4140kg

Gun pitch angle: -5to +65.0 degrees

Maximum range 11900 meters"

An hour later, Sasaki wrote down such a string of data in Shi Jincai's artillery regimental headquarters....... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
