readx; On the north bank of the Qingchuan River, Han San looked at the gunfire on the other side of the river, the sound of explosions was repeated, and his face was gloomy: "How is the situation of Yilian now?" ”

A lieutenant next to him said: "Don't worry, the battalion commander, there is no problem on the first company's side now, and there are more than 100 people in the counterattack, but this character alone will never be able to break through the first company's defense line!" ”

Indeed, if an infantry company with heavy machine-gun firepower and a lot of light machine-gun firepower were to defend a position, the attacking company would never be able to easily break through if it did not exceed its own firepower and strength. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Well, although the first company is not a big problem, the troops must cross the river although! If this time is delayed for a long time, maybe the army will send large-scale reinforcements! Han San said so, although this is not the main battlefield, but it is only about seven or eight kilometers away from Anzhou, and the closest main force of the Yue army is only four or five kilometers away.

As they spoke, the main force of the 4732nd Battalion had already begun to use the small wooden boats collected by the Korean volunteers to start crossing the river, and the first to cross the river was not a large number of infantry troops, but a large number of mortars and a large number of machine guns to cross the river first.

Soon, the first batch of four 80-millimeter mortars and six heavy machine guns had been loaded onto the boats, and then the soldiers who put on them began to row the boats with all their might, and then some heavy machine guns and two 75-millimeter light infantry guns.

These two 75-mm light infantry guns were originally the direct firepower of the regiment headquarters, but the army has always had the management of strengthening the heavy firepower to the subordinate units for operations, and this time the 4732 infantry battalion crossed the river to carry out a sneak attack and disturbance operation, so it was naturally impossible to smoothly get the support of the superior heavy firepower in the follow-up operations, so the regiment headquarters directly strengthened the two 75-mm light infantry guns to them.

These two 75 mm light infantry guns are actually the 1915 75 mm mountain guns, you must know that this artillery has been the main force of the Chinese Army since the time of the Nationalist Army, and the 1916 75 mm field guns constitute the main artillery force of the Chinese Army. After all, both the Chinese Army and the Chinese Army have placed the preset battlefields in East Asia such as Korea and Northeast China, and in this case, the two types of artillery guns specially developed for operations in East Asia are also suitable for China. Otherwise, these two guns would not have been mass-produced in previous years.

Although China's artillery strength has developed greatly in recent years, these two types of artillery have been discontinued since the end of the war in mid-1923, while the army has begun to equip other new types of artillery, such as the 1925 105 mm field howitzer and the 1929 75 mm field howitzer. However, there are a lot of 1915-type mountain guns and 1916-type field guns in the Chinese Army, and it is impossible to say that all of them will be retired at once. Therefore, even if the new artillery has entered service with the army, these two old artillery pieces are still equipped with a large number of Chinese army.

Among them, the 1915 75-mm mountain gun was withdrawn from the divisional artillery regiment of the front-line troops, and there was no need to move the place, so it was directly distributed to each infantry regiment as a regimental infantry gun.

Due to the limited production of the 1925-mm 105-mm field howitzer, and the priority will be given to equipping the first-line troops, and the domestic second-line troops cannot get the equipment of the 105-mm field howitzer for a while, so a large number of divisional artillery of the second-line troops in China still have the 1915-type 75mm mountain guns.

As for the 1916 75 mm field gun, it has never withdrawn from the front-line combat sequence, because its range of less than 8,300 meters has become more and more difficult to meet the operational needs of the main force, the equipment department has also designed a 1929 75 mm field howitzer as a new generation of divisional suppression artillery, this new generation of 75 mm field howitzer has a range of 14,000 kilometers, and the weight has also climbed to 1,400 kilograms. Considering the great increase in range and rate of fire, the price of a little weight is also allowed, but this situation is unacceptable to the army, if it is too heavy, the army is simply directly equipped with a larger caliber 105 mm field combat calculation, and more importantly, the cost of this new artillery is too high, so the army has no plans for large-scale equipment for this new 75 mm field howitzer, and now there are only two motorized infantry divisions in the whole army equipped with four artillery battalions of this artillery, The total output is only about 40 doors.

The 1916 75 mm field gun has more than the 1915 75 mm mountain gun, which is not so easy to reequip, and the army has always wanted to popularize the 105 mm caliber in the divisional support firepower, so it is not very concerned about the new 75 mm field howitzer, it wants to be equipped with a more powerful 105 mm field howitzer, as for the original 1925 field howitzer range is not enough, The army is trying to solve this problem by developing a new 105 mm howitzer gun with a longer barrel, as the weight problem caused by the increase in range is not too serious, the army has now steadily implemented the strategy of motorized artillery, in addition to mountain combat units, other ordinary infantry divisions, motorized infantry divisions and armored divisions of artillery towing has been changed from horse traction in the early years to truck traction. So to a certain extent, the problem of towing divisional artillery is not too big.

Of course, it is not too heavy, in order to control the weight of the new artillery, it also specially introduced the self-tightening technology from France, which also purchased dozens of Schneider 1927 85mm howitzers as a price, but the Chinese Army naturally will not be equipped with the caliber of 85 mm, and after some research, these guns were sold to Greece. This self-tightening technology is of great significance for reducing the weight of the barrel, and it has been used in a series of artillery pieces developed by China in the future, including the 1929 75mm field howitzer.

Through the development of several years is also to come up with several test models, including by the Shanghai Arsenal and Wuhan Machinery Company to jointly develop and design one of the test 105 mm field howitzer in the surname can make the army more satisfied, test data, this artillery is from the 1925 type artillery improved, its range can reach more than 12,000 kilometers, two thousand meters farther than the original 1925 howitzer, and although the weight has increased slightly, but still controlled at 1600 kg. Such a surname can be regarded as a first-class level in the world.

However, it takes more than several years for a new artillery to be developed and tested, and then to service, so although the army has issued the official number of the 1930 105mm field howitzer to this artillery, and has also purchased more than a dozen for testing, there is still a long way to go before this gun is put into large-scale service.

In addition, although the surname of this new artillery can make the army greedy, but to obtain these superior surnames, it is necessary to adopt a large number of new technologies, including self-tightening and a series of other new technologies, and the adoption of a large number of new technologies brings about the rise in cost, compared with the 1925 105 mm howitzer, the cost of the 1930 105 mm howitzer has risen by more than 40 percent, and the high cost also makes the Chinese Army hesitate to equip this new artillery in large quantities. After all, now the Chinese Army also has a relatively cheap 1925 105mm howitzer as an option.

After all, the army's military spending is limited, and now the army has to purchase a large number of 1925-type 105-mm howitzers, and it has not been able to replace them all, so to purchase more expensive 1930-type 105-mm howitzers, the army really can't make up this decision.

The 47th Division, which was deployed as a front-line unit in the northeast, was also not equipped with 105-mm howitzers, and two of the three artillery battalions in the division's artillery regiment had been equipped with 1925-mm howitzers, while the remaining one was still equipped with 1916-type 75-mm field guns.

The original 12 1915 75-mm mountain guns in the divisional artillery were scattered into three infantry regiments, four in each regiment, but many of them were just one artillery company.

And Han San's infantry battalion needed to cross the river to fight alone, so it was reinforced by two 1915-style 75 mm mountain guns attached to the regiment headquarters.

When the 4732 Infantry Battalion transported a large amount of technical equipment to the south bank through these small boats, Han San's combat order arrived along with these heavy weapons and equipment. At present, the radio in the Chinese army is only assigned to the battalion level, and the battalion can only convey orders to the subordinate companies through traditional means, and if it is a positional war, it can use a wired telephone, but now in this case, it can only rely on manpower to transmit.

Seeing this battle order in his hand, Captain Wang did not hesitate too much, on the contrary, he was very excited, because in his opinion, this was an opportunity to obtain combat merits.

"Lieutenant Pan, you are still the vanguard in this sortie, and I will let the reinforced artillery fire support you!" Captain Wang didn't have to think long before issuing a new round of combat orders, if he wanted to break through to the southwest, he had to destroy the army in front of him first, but now that he had received a large number of heavy fire support from the battalion headquarters, especially those 80-mm mortars, Captain Wang was confident that he would defeat the army in front of him in a short time.

Lieutenant Pan was very different from half a day ago, his face was a little muddy, and the military uniform on his body was also covered with mud.

Not long ago, the Yue army took the initiative to attack, but not long after, the Yue army found that the Chinese on the opposite side had launched a counter-charge, and what surprised them even more was that the enemy had added a large number of heavy firearms, machine guns and mortars, which made the Yue army feel huge pressure at once.

On the battlefield, sometimes victory or defeat is a matter of minutes, maybe five minutes ago the two sides were evenly matched, but within five minutes, the enemy suddenly became stronger, and once the balance is broken, it is certain that the weaker side will collapse.

Looking at the soldiers who began to retreat on the field, Captain Wang put down the binoculars and said to the herald beside him: "Order the whole company to charge and fight to Anzhou in one go!" ”
