Chapter 274: What is the elite of the Type A Division? They fight against the elite
"As long as the horse is alive, whip it hard for me."
"The horses are exhausted from running, and we have to reach Tongliao before dark relying on our own legs."
The Cavalry Division issued a death order and quickly assembled in the Tongliao area.
The Soviet tank regiment calmly pressed forward, with the tanks galloping across the plains. There were roads repaired by the Japanese invaders and wilderness for them to pass through.
The plane took off from Xilin Gol and pressed towards the direction of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.
This time all fighters and bombers were deployed, and a battle group consisting of 178 aircraft pressed eastward.
Ding Wei paced back and forth and looked at the time. There were still five hours before dark, but the horse and the car kept running non-stop.
Only speed is of the essence in war, and only then can the battle be won.
"Notify Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing that once the Tongliao battle begins, the 23rd Division will definitely be involved. That will also be the best time for the two columns to launch a strong attack."
"The main force of the Fourth Column will withdraw. Don't worry about the small enemy forces. After a brief rest, press forward towards Tongliao."
The Japanese had deployed a large number of bunkers and defense lines in the western part of Tongliao, and they would inevitably force them to give up their positions and evacuate on their own.
Destroy them on their way back.
Ding Wei was fearless because in this area, there were fighter jets, tanks, cannons, and elite main columns.
The Japanese only had a crippled security division and a heavy artillery regiment that had just arrived at the battlefield.
Without infantry cover, the heavy artillery regiment is like a whore with her clothes opened, and anyone can attack her.
The Japanese heavy artillery regiment arrived in Tongliao in the morning, and many equipment and supplies were still on the vehicles, and there was no time to move them down.
Division Commander Kenichi Kishikawa specially arranged a grand reception ceremony.
The colonel of the G Heavy Artillery Regiment is Anmu Kameji. Look at the name, he has an older brother named Anmu Kameichi. Using the word "turtle" to sort them is quite unique.
Coming from the artillery, he is considered to be quite arrogant in the team.
He is obviously a colonel, but he acts like a big shot.
A grand reception was also given.
It may be that the troops belong to different affiliations. The field heavy artillery regiment is directly under the jurisdiction of the Japanese 44th Army and is directly commanded by the army headquarters.
Because of this grand reception, the time for the heavy artillery regiment to enter the city and deploy defenses was seriously delayed.
Heavy artillery is different from mortars. Grenade launchers don't need to be deployed at all.
You can just pick it up and stick it on the ground to shoot.
Ordinary mountain artillery, 82mm mortars, and simple artillery teams can be quickly deployed.
However, large-caliber artillery can weigh several thousand pounds, so position deployment must be considered, and advance planning and observation must be made.
The more powerful the artillery, the more experienced and well-trained artillerymen are needed to operate it.
These artillerymen must undergo long-term professional training and actual combat experience to master the complex technology and operation essentials of heavy artillery. They need to be familiar with the various performance parameters of heavy artillery, understand the shooting methods and tactical applications of different targets, and have keen observation, accurate judgment and decisive decision-making capabilities.
Understanding the performance of heavy artillery is a prerequisite, and one must also understand the terrain conditions and the actual situation on the battlefield in order to conduct joint testing operations.
Only in this way can the maximum power of heavy artillery be brought into play in battle and a fatal blow to the enemy be inflicted.
To be honest, the artillery under Ding Wei's command is best at direct aiming.
Mountain cannons and mortars are okay for fun.
If we really want to develop heavy artillery, we still need to improve the quality of our artillery, and even learn heavy artillery technology from the Soviet Union.
Of course, the Russians’ heavy artillery level is just so-so, and they are good at fire coverage. The best are the Eagle Sauce and the Germans, who have mastered artillery support to perfection.
First-class artillery has achieved target gridding, and commands can be issued to artillery based on approximate directions.
Support efficiency and combat efficiency have been greatly improved.
The Japanese still need observers to convert the target's location into coordinates, calculate the distance from the artillery, and obtain the shooting parameters required by the artillery.
The overall responsiveness is far below the first-tier level.
The 150mm howitzer required the mobilization of artillery crew members, advance consideration of deployment, and the deployment of artillery fortifications.
After the Japanese division commander and the artillery regiment colonel finished the welcoming ceremony, they received the latest intelligence information.
A Soviet tank regiment commanded by Ding Wei and an elite cavalry division were heading towards the Tongliao area.
The situation immediately became tense.
The aggressive assault force has appeared within the Japanese's observation range.
The advantage of mobile forces is that even if you notice it, you will not have time to mobilize troops for defense.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops were having difficulty assembling, they launched the offensive first.
The fighter planes arrived over the Japanese army first, and the flying squadron led by Lin Yihu entered the attack range.
The field heavy artillery regiment was near the city gate, unable to enter or leave, and immediately fell into chaos.
The defenders in the city wanted to help, but they were unable to do anything due to the bombing from planes.
Anti-aircraft weapons opened fire, but the firepower was thin.
Compared with the Type A division, the security division has a difference in the quality of its soldiers and also in the weapons and equipment assigned to the troops.
Many troops do not have infantry guns or mountain guns, and use mortars instead.
The fighter planes roared and came, covering the sky and the sun, demonstrating the power of the Suirecha Military Region.
Bombs fell one after another and exploded among the Japanese crowd.
The armored forces did not stop at all. They arrived at the battlefield before dark and launched an offensive against the garrisoned Japanese troops.
The Cavalry Division also appeared on the horizon, threatening the headquarters of the 63rd Division.
Critical, critical, critical.
The field heavy artillery regiment was the main target, and the tank regiment was heading straight for its flank and rear.
The cannon barrel was raised and shot straight in.
The tank gun pressed forward, easily tearing through the front line and crushing forward.
The shells pressed in one after another, and the tank's gun barrel was about to press into the enemy's throat, advancing rapidly and again.
The armored units rushed forward and attacked the Japanese artillery regiment, but were approached by the tanks. The field heavy artillery regiment had no advantage at all.
Those large-caliber artillery pieces had a very long range, but they were helpless against the tanks under their neighbors.
The Japanese infantrymen in charge of guarding the artillery were crushed by the tanks and used their bodies to block the advance of the tank guns and heavy machine guns.
The Cavalry Division arrived on the battlefield at just the right time, and rushed all of its mobile forces forward, cutting through the Japs' defenses in one wave.
This style of fighting completely destroyed the Security Division.
Fukutaro Nishiyama received an emergency call that the 63rd Division in Tongliao was in danger and needed the mechanized troops of the 23rd Division to support it to the north.
This Type A division finally joined the battle under the pressure of the situation.
The fighter planes raged and left reluctantly after running out of bullets. The city was in a mess, and the Japanese field artillery and heavy artillery regiments were all taken care of by the bombers.
The ground where the bomb landed was blasted into a deep gully. The power of an aerial bomb far exceeded that of a howitzer.
There was absolutely no one alive at the center of the explosion.
Few people can survive within the range of the explosion shock wave.
The commander of the Soviet tank regiment was Li Meng, a man from the northwest with some Central Asian blood.
He has slightly deep eyes and is the leader of this suicide squad.
With the determination to kill the enemy in mind, we have no choice but to move forward.
