Chapter 591 Tear to pieces
Yoshio Shinozuka took in the overall situation and analyzed.
According to normal logic, this analysis is correct.
But... now that we have encountered the New First Division, can we still reason according to normal logic?
New First Division...
That is essentially an alternative existence!
"Please rest assured, Commander!"
"Our artillery fire will definitely be able to completely tear the New 1st Division apart!"
"Send the order!"
"fire!"
The commander of the Japanese 8th Division, Anton Shoujiang, raised his head, his eyes showing absolute confidence.
Although the New 1st Division’s artillery firepower is not bad.
but……
The 8th Division Artillery Regiment is also not bad after the increase.
boom!
boom!
Rumble!
boom!
A huge wave of wind.
Coming right in front of you.
鬼子第8师团的炮兵联队原本只装备了24门75mm的九五式野炮和24门41式山炮，总共48门火炮。
但是为了加强火力，鬼子特地调动了大正七年式150mm重加农炮30门、九零式240mm重迫击炮15门、九六式150mm重榴弹炮10门。
In addition, there are another 20 Type 20 field guns and 41 Type mountain guns.
This is equivalent to adding more than half a heavy artillery brigade and the equipment of a Type A division-level artillery regiment.
This equipment is nothing short of luxurious.
The newly added 95 artillery pieces were added to the 48 artillery pieces originally equipped by the Japanese.
That’s a total of 143 artillery pieces.
In contrast, the New 1st Division has the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade.
The 58st Heavy Artillery Brigade is equipped with a total of heavy artillery pieces of various types!
The 85nd Heavy Artillery Brigade is equipped with a total of heavy artillery pieces of various types!
The total number of artillery pieces is actually only 143.
Of course.
In the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the New 1st Division
The artillery with the worst firepower is the 75mm Type field gun.
The Japanese artillery regiment was also equipped with more than 75 41mm Type mountain guns.
There is still a big gap between the Type 41 mountain gun and the Type field gun.
You can tell from the maximum range alone.
The maximum range of the Type 41 mountain gun is only over meters.
The maximum range of the Type 95 field gun can even reach more than 10,000 meters.
But now the Japs are on the defensive, and the New 1st Division wants to advance and attack...
Therefore, the firepower of the two heavy artillery brigades of the New 1st Division is indeed stronger than that of the Japanese, but it cannot achieve a crushing posture.
and so.
For a while, the attacks were going back and forth.
"The devil's firepower..."
"How come it's more ferocious than a heavy artillery brigade?"
"Isn't there only one Japanese artillery regiment in the city?"
"Even an artillery regiment of a Type A division shouldn't be like this."
"This……"
"It's almost as powerful as our two heavy artillery brigades!"
"commander."
"Fortunately, we didn't launch a full-scale attack before."
"Otherwise, even if we have a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, the casualties will definitely increase greatly under the suppression of the Japanese firepower."
"Taiyuan is indeed difficult to fight."
Chang Naichao, the chief of staff of the New 1st Division, put down his binoculars, took a deep breath, and felt quite fortunate.
Almost.
Just a little bit.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
"The extra artillery pieces the Japanese had should have been temporarily transferred from the Taiyuan Arsenal."
"so……"
"The Japanese artillery fire looks strong, but they don't have any extra artillery."
"Once the Japanese artillery is depleted, their fighting spirit will completely collapse."
Lin Xu glanced into the distance.
Then he nodded silently.
"The commander has a far-sighted vision."
"The Japs are now focusing all their attention on the East City Gate."
"Even if there are troops defending the west gate, there won't be many."
"The troops that the commander previously transferred to the west city gate will soon transform into fierce tigers and completely tear through the Japanese defenses."
"Taiyuan."
"It's already in the bag."
"The Commander's Plan."
"Every time he looks calm and easygoing."
"But it often has an unexpected and shocking effect."
"commander……"
"He's truly invincible!"
There was a sigh of emotion.
Eyes burning.
Looked up.
The light in his eyes grew brighter.
At this moment, Chang Naichao was naturally full of admiration for Fang Yu.
His eyes were always focused on Fang Yu, and his shock remained undiminished.
at the same time.
The location of the west gate of Taiyuan.
After the artillery fire sounded at the East Gate.
The attack speed at the west gate increased instantly.
The 40 Katyusha rocket launchers of the rocket artillery regiment displayed at the back focused on the city gate and bombarded it crazily, eventually creating a gap at the gate.
follow closely.
The armored regiment's more than 40 Tiger tanks and a dozen Sherman medium tanks accelerated forward.
At present, there is a covering and crushing posture, moving forward.
The pace of advancement gradually increased.
The speed is even faster!
For a moment, the overwhelming momentum seemed even stronger!
The cavalry reinforcement regiment led by Sun Desheng was also unwilling to fall behind at this moment.
"Brothers of the Cavalry Regiment!"
"charge!"
"charge!"
"Speed up the charge!"
"Don't stop!"
"dash forward!"
"We can't let the soldiers of the armored regiment look down on us!"
"We are the cavalry reinforcement regiment!"
"We are cavalry!"
"Any time!"
"We all have to be the fastest!"
"Come on!"
whoosh...
Whoosh...
Stationed at the west city gate were two thousand Japanese military police soldiers and more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from half of the supply regiment.
A total of more than 3,000 devils gathered here.
and.
In order to increase firepower, the Japanese specially transferred more than 100 light and heavy machine guns from the Taiyuan Arsenal to temporarily strengthen the defense of the west gate.
But this is clearly not enough.
Under the fierce fire attack of the rocket artillery regiment, armored regiment and cavalry reinforced regiment.
present.
A crushing momentum has already formed, sprinting forward, charging forward, hysterically...
In an instant, it swallowed everything!
Whale swallow!
At the west gate, the Japanese soldiers on and off the city wall couldn't even hold out for more than ten minutes.
They were turned into dust by row after row of steel flows.
West gate.
Break through.
Except for the rocket artillery regiment.
The cavalry armored regiment and the armored regiment entered the city one after another.
It is indeed dangerous for a tank to act alone without infantry protection, and the Japanese can easily blow it up with explosives.
But with the existence of the cavalry reinforced regiment, these are no longer a problem.
When the Japanese tried to get close to the tanks, the three heavy machine guns equipped on each M3A1 cavalry armored vehicle were enough to tear them into pieces.
From the beginning.
Shred to the end.
then.
Collapse immediately.
Moreover, the Japanese did not expect that the New 1st Division would attack from the west gate.
From the West Gate to the East Gate, there were no firepower points along the way.
Not to mention mines and explosives.
Moreover, the Japanese troops are now concentrated at various city walls, so the city is particularly empty.
At this moment, the armored regiment and the cavalry reinforcement regiment were galloping through Taiyuan City at top speed...
