Chapter 366 Never Let This Happen
The retreat order issued by Gao Hongming and others was very timely. Less than an hour after the troops had withdrawn, the frontline troops of the Japanese army arrived at Xiaowu Mountain. Looking at the aerial reconnaissance photos just sent by the reconnaissance plane, Gao Hongming's back was covered in cold sweat.

That's all there is to the team that can't see the end at a glance. The key is that they actually found the figures of Japanese tank troops and heavy artillery in the photos.

"Where did the heavy artillery of the Japanese army come from? Why didn't we notice it before?"

Gao Hongming, who broke out in a cold sweat from being frightened, couldn't help roaring.

In fact, it's not just Gao Hongming, even Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan's backs are covered in white sweat. Several photos clearly show a row of large trucks with a long-range artillery trailing behind them. At first glance, the caliber is much larger than the common mountain artillery field artillery such as 75 and 105.

"This is the boy's Taisho Seventh Year 150mm heavy cannon."

"and this."

Chi Yaohui pointed to a somewhat blurred photo and said: "Look here, these guns should be the devil's Type 240 [-]-caliber heavy cannon. If I guessed correctly, the artillery should belong to the devil. Heavy Artillery Brigade."

Hearing the word "Heavy Artillery Brigade", everyone sweated not only on their foreheads, but also on their backs.

If they didn't know much about the power of heavy artillery before, the more than ten 155mm long-leg Tom self-propelled artillery equipped by the [-]st Liantai Militia Artillery Battalion these days taught them a good lesson.

Although the Japanese army has launched many attacks on Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang these days, why never did it? In addition to occupying a favorable terrain, Tom Long-legs also contributed a lot. One shot down is a big pit of seven or eight meters If you are unlucky, a squad of soldiers will be gone.

Moreover, all the officers above the colonel here are no strangers to the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army.

重炮旅团对于日本人来说已经是属于战略性质的部队了，一支标准的重炮旅团下设有两个重炮联队，其中包括大正七年式150mm口径的重加农炮30-40门，九零式240口径的重加农炮20门，九六式305口径的重型榴弹炮10门，有的重炮旅团还配备有九八式320口径的臼炮3-6门。

The heavy artillery brigade appeared in various major battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Wuhan. The lethality of this thing is too great. The seemingly indestructible fortifications are as fragile as tofu dregs in front of heavy artillery. .

The most terrible thing is that once the Japanese army deploys the heavy artillery brigade, the threat to them will be fatal.

"That's not right!"

At this time, a somewhat abrupt voice sounded, and everyone saw that it was Gao Hongming.

I saw him with a puzzled look on his face, "As far as I know, the heavy artillery brigades of the Japanese army are all equipped with heavy artillery with a caliber above 150, not to mention the Type 320 305mm, just the Type [-] [-]mm howitzer It’s not something that can be pulled by ordinary vehicles, this kind of big thing that weighs hundreds of tons can only be transported by train, and it’s impossible to transport this kind of big thing in like Zhongtiao Mountain.”

Chi Yaohui nodded: "That's why I said just now that I belong to the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and I didn't say that all the Heavy Artillery Brigade came. If I guessed correctly, only the members of the Heavy Artillery Brigade came this time. A heavy artillery regiment.

If the road in Zhongtiao Mountain is exhausted, it can only support a big guy like the Type 240 240-caliber heavy cannon that weighs tens of tons. It would take a lot of time and effort to transport them in, which is why we haven't seen Japanese heavy artillery since we grew up here for so long. "

Hearing Chi Yaohui's analysis, everyone nodded frequently.

Four years have passed since the July [-]th Incident. Although the Japanese army has occupied nearly half of China's territory, their rule over China can only stay in major cities and counties linked by railways and highways. For the vast rural areas can only sigh.

Of course, there are reasons for the lack of Japanese troops, but the most important thing is due to the poor traffic conditions in China.

Why was the mediocre Type [-] infantry artillery loved by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and warlords around the world during the Anti-Japanese War?The reason lies in its decent power and portability.

This artillery with only more than 200 kilograms can be said to be a fish in water on the inconvenient land of China. Whether it is in the mountains, jungles or hills, it has displayed unparalleled mobility, which is why it is loved by so many forces.

As for the heavy artillery under the jurisdiction of the Heavy Artillery Brigade, once they leave the railway and the sound road, it is like an elephant entering a swamp, and every step forward is extremely painful.

Brigadier Chen pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at the surrounding staff officers: "From the aerial reconnaissance, the Japanese heavy artillery is only less than [-] kilometers away from us. Calculated by their speed, they will be within three days. You can reach the front line. Tell me, how do we deal with this Japanese heavy artillery unit that suddenly appeared?"

"I think it's possible to blow them up halfway with an airplane."

"We also have heavy artillery, why don't we use heavy artillery to destroy them?"

"Surprise with armored forces and take out these heavy artillery in one fell swoop."

The staff members put forward their views one after another, but they were all rejected one by one.

Brigadier Chen said with a serious expression: "The devils are very cunning after suffering. Their heavy artillery units are all day and nocturnal. They rest during the day and travel at night. The reason why we discovered this time is thanks to the few members of the reconnaissance squadron." A female pilot accidentally spotted them early in the morning, otherwise we would suffer a lot if we didn’t find out until the devils were deployed.”

"Then can we wait until the devil's heavy artillery arrives before blowing them up with a plane?"

"I guess it's difficult. The heavy artillery units of the Japanese army are generally equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. Once the Japanese army deploys the heavy artillery, our planes will inevitably pay a high price if they want to bomb them again.

And if the devils were a little more cunning and deployed heavy artillery in a scattered manner, the difficulty of bombing would increase exponentially. "

"Using armored forces to carry out assault operations is not very advisable. If the devils dig a dozen anti-tank trenches around them and equip them with anti-tank guns, our tanks will become a bunch of live targets."

Accompanied by Brigadier Chen's words, everyone immediately thought that in a few days, when they were fighting fiercely with the devils, suddenly a heavy artillery hit, just a shelling, and in an explosion like a landslide, they All the hard-built fortifications and bunkers were destroyed, and then the Japanese army attacked like a tide under the cover of heavy artillery.

Thinking of such a scene, everyone couldn't help shivering in their hearts. Such a scene is too terrifying, and it must not be allowed to happen to him.
