The Japanese artillery fire was distributed very reasonably and was divided into several parts. At the specific locations on the top of the mountain, the division-level artillery fire was arranged, mainly composed of heavy artillery above 108, basically 108 and 125, with only a small number of 155, which is a little older. As the main force of this counterattack, whether it is the new 155 artillery or the firepower of the battalion below 75 mm, they did not participate in this counterattack.

The former is easy to talk about artillery below 75mm. It has a limited range and cannot reach the artillery positions arranged by the US military. As for the new type of artillery, it is for the purpose of hiding one hand. The 155 cannons are placed in the rear, and the range of 155 up to 40 kilometers is enough to cover the entire battlefield, and even far behind, it is enough to cover the entire frontier.

Such a huge cover range is strategic artillery fire among strategic artillery fire. The entire Japanese Alaska Army, with 3 million troops and 155 artillery guns, totaling only 1,200. Except for a small number distributed on the front line to suppress vitality, the rest are distributed in the rear, with a distance of at least 18 kilometers above this front line. This distance is calculated, and is very suitable for both reactions, coverage, and other aspects.

Because it is a position defense battle, strategic artillery is arranged very tightly even in the rear. Not only is it fully camouflaged, but there are also temporary artillery positions for protection when attacked, which are more than 18 kilometers away. At such a distance, not to mention the US land firepower, even the naval guns of battleships may not be able to be fired.

Of course, a 14-inch or even 15-inch cannon must have an extreme range of more than 40 kilometers, but there is no aiming facility and no sufficiently accurate shooting calculation method. Even if this cannon hits so far, it is still an anti-aircraft cannon that can hit the mosquito, and the possibility of hitting is slim.

This time, it was mainly targeted at the front-line artillery of the US military. There were only 12 divisions, at best, only a few thousand guns. This did not require a killer like 155 to launch a battle. The gun has a lifespan. The price of 155 is expensive. As the most important component of heavy artillery, its barrel accounts for almost half of the total gun price. Unless it is necessary or suppressing tasks, generally speaking, 155 will not launch a battle, otherwise the waste will be large. High-intensity attacks will damage the barrel and increase the loss.

For Japan, the location of the US artillery regiment is enough for heavy artillery located above 100 mm on the mountain. You should know that they are located at the 392 high ground, and the altitude of the entire high ground is 392 meters, even if the relative height relative to the ground is more than 200 meters. The US-Canadian coalition is an upward attack. In this case, the range of artillery will have a great advantage, not to mention that the Japanese artillery is not the original backward Japanese, or even the stupid and thick produced by Japan itself. All of them are Chinese new artillery. This artillery has extremely high technical content and has a far higher range than ordinary artillery.

For basic army firepower such as artillery, China has not hidden privately, and even 155 has been taken out. Even the early models are a huge threat to China. Even when the two armies are in a confrontation, as long as the artillery is, it can cause certain damage. The difference is that the stronger the artillery, the greater the threat.

In real battlefield combat, the range of 155 is more than 40 kilometers, exceeding the range of 40 kilometers. For artillery, the increase in range is no longer strategic. Sometimes, if the range exceeds 40 kilometers, the artillery position cannot be arranged beyond 40 kilometers. You must know that at the speed of the artillery, it will take several minutes to fly a distance of 40 kilometers, not to mention that signal transmission takes time, and reaction and integration take more time.

China has radio systems and battlefield telephones, but it is more than 40 kilometers, which is not conducive to grasping the battlefield situation. Generally speaking, strategic artillery fire is mostly arranged at a distance of 15 kilometers to 30 kilometers. Of course, this refers to China's 155. The strategic artillery of other countries has a maximum range of 10 kilometers, so there is no choice, and it is generally at the farthest range.

Because of its advanced technology and excellent materials, China's artillery has a very high technical content even for the 75 artillery. What's more, the larger 108, 125, especially 125 mm, is only 30 mm less than the 155, but its range reaches 25 kilometers. It can already play a similar role as a strategic artillery on ordinary strategic artillery.

This is how the Japanese counterattack artillery fire is currently showing off. At this time, the location of the top of the mountain is less than 12 kilometers away from the US artillery camp. It is not only the absolute range of 125 and 108, but also the place with the greatest lethality. It will not be too far away, lose kinetic energy, and it will not be too tight. The height of the barrel must be adjusted, which is the most comfortable place.

Kawasaki Miyan's order was passed on to each artillery position through a telephone. The Japanese artillery, who had been waiting for a relatively anxious time, began to prepare for the artillery. On the top of the mountain, there seemed to be nothing or rocks in the hidden caves, but in fact, they were the positions of strategic artillery. These rocks were processed, and each cave was carved out of pure rocks. It was poured through reinforced concrete. The front was at least 3 meters thick reinforced concrete structure. Even the entire shooting area was only 25 degrees, less than 50 cm high and 5 meters long, with almost no aiming space. The artillery was behind and could not see the scenery ahead.

Fortunately, under the leadership of China, Japan also popularized the telephone system. The observation post at another section of the mountain top was even better than the artillery position after optical instruments. There was no need to worry about being blocked by the gun smoke continuously fired by the artillery. In addition, areas were also divided on the entire battlefield. Sometimes, for observers, the general coverage was just enough to report one data.

There is no need to aim, just aim at a certain coordinate and orientation. This way, after strict calculations, you can also train without shells. In fact, such training is very suitable for the Japanese. In the past 7 months, most Japanese artillery soldiers have been training without shells. Although the shooting level is not high, aiming at certain areas will be excellent in both the reaction time and the shooting speed.

There are 12 divisions of the US military, and only 4 Japanese divisions, but in terms of the number of artillery, the US military is only 20% more than the Japanese army. This is not considered strategic artillery fire. Even the existing front-line artillery fire, the Japanese army has more artillery artillery than the US army among the more than 75 mm artillery fire.

Among artillery with a range of more than 15 kilometers, Japan has a clear advantage. The 200-meter-high high has an extremely obvious bonus on artillery. Even some newer 75 artillery can hold the US military's artillery positions.

Thousands of artillery began to show their power without aiming, purely shooting, and similar actions. Japanese artillery has been trained countless times and is extremely proficient. It even guarantees a rate of 1-3 rounds in one minute. This is simply super fast for artillery above 75.

The US military is well-trained. When the Japanese artillery fire appeared, they felt that most of the Japanese artillery were long-range artillery fire, with extremely high initial speed. In the first half, the sound of the artillery exceeded the speed of the artillery, but in the second half, the speed of the sound exceeded the speed of the artillery. The howling sound of the artillery came. Some sensitive US officers immediately thought of it as the rear position. The Japanese hid the artillery for the present time, and they were definitely not against the Canadian Army, who had been trapped in machine gun strafing and didn't know what to do. The result was already on the table. If you want to expand, you can only deal with the US artillery in the rear.

They almost forgot that the opposite side was not some natives or colonial soldiers, but one of the great powers. Although they were only the weakest powers, behind them were the American confidant Chinese. God knows what the Chinese equipped Japan. They didn't expect that Japan still had artillery, and they didn't even make any defenses. Now, they have already launched artillery and have no way to guard against it. As long as the number of artillery on the other side exceeds a certain level, they may suffer huge losses in one encounter.

The Americans can only expect the Japanese to be inadequately prepared, not have enough artillery fire, or their shooting skills are not good enough, and they cannot pose enough threat to their artillery regiments. Most of the American officers were full of regret. These lessons that had suffered in Europe and were taught, so why did they completely forget the American continent?

However, when the first spark appeared accurately in the position of the artillery regiment, they were completely desperate. Japan was extremely accurate. From the first artillery hit to the next series of hits, the strength of the Japanese gunners was of course not as good as the Chinese Army, but they were above the level. Every Chinese army gunner was trained at least 5,000 shells. Such a number of shells could become elite gunners, not to mention some talented ones, 5,000 rounds, which was enough to let him master the essence of the artillery, and there was no problem when he pointed at him wherever he pointed his eyes.

The Japanese cannot be so extravagant. A gunner uses 5,000 shells. I am afraid that the gunner's consumption will be huge. One or two may really have to popularize a gunner in every regiment and battalion. Even if Japan's economic situation has just improved, it cannot afford it. You must know that if the 3 million army has at least more than 300,000 artillery, even if most of them are mortars, there are at least more than 300,000 large-caliber artillery. According to each one, an elite gunner, three or four skilled gunners, just shells are enough to make the Japanese bankrupt.

Fortunately, other methods can be used. Japan has been here for a long time and has made accurate measurements of these. There is an icon in that location and area. As long as you aim at that area, each area is about one hectare. However, when the cannons fall and cover the attack, the accuracy is already quite high. When several cannons use a coordinated method to conduct cross-attacks, this area is even more invisible.

Only a small number of Japanese people are particularly talented and use live ammunition shooting to improve the overall quality of these artillery soldiers. The rest are basically this kind of training day after day, year after year. In this case, even if the level of individual soldiers is not too high, the overall quality of executing orders has been significantly improved, especially on a fixed and familiar battlefield, which is beyond the expectations of the United States.

The artillery roared, crossing the two sides, less than 12 kilometers away, and landed on another section of the battlefield. Not only did the officers hear the sound of artillery firing, but even the artillery soldiers discovered this. At this moment, there was not much time to delay. They had to transfer. But how could the human speed be comparable to the speed of the artillery shells? Some clever ones ran directly outside the artillery regiment. As for the artillery, how could the artillery that had been deployed move in a short time?

It cannot be said that the US military is not experienced and can achieve bloody battles from the European battlefield. None of them are simple. They have seen the wars between European battlefields, large armies, and the crazy killing of each other. They can spare no effort in protecting artillery, machine guns and fixed firepower points, but the US military is still careless.

What the US military faced was just the Japanese army. They underestimated the Japanese army because they learned before that, whether during the Russo-Japanese War or during the Chinese War, the Japanese firepower was quite barren. Among the basic firepower of the US military, 100mm artillery was only a first-class artillery fire. However, in Japan, even if 75mm is considered a heavy artillery, 100mm can be called a strategic firepower, and there are quite a few in the entire army.

Perhaps this inertial idea made the US military place the strategic artillery position 5-6 kilometers away when arranging artillery positions, which is also a distance that most 75mm or even 100mm artillery is difficult to reach. Even if it can be touched occasionally, it is not harmful. However, the current situation has caused the US military to suffer a great loss, and the strategic artillery fire may be devastating.

But they forgot that Japan has joined the Chinese camp. Whether in Siberia or Australia, the degree of artillery fire shown by China is absolutely extremely powerful. In this case, this loophole can be said to be very fatal.

What the Americans estimated was that conventional artillery was basically weakened based on their 75 artillery. In the eyes of the Americans, after obtaining some data from Britain and France, the Americans had surpassed the two allies of the Allied countries in artillery. In Japan with poor technology, their firepower should be much less than this one.

But they did not count China. China had the habit of hiding things in later generations. The best things were always clouds and fog. Until the last one, they would never be exposed. The same is true for Yang Yuanzhao. Whether it is an all-in-one aircraft or his identity as a time traveler, they were too sensitive. When they were not capable, they should be careful to hide and not exposed easily. After controlling the situation in China, the whole world coincided with the First World War, and the three states of Europe, Asia and the United States were involved in the war. This was the only opportunity for China to take off. With the opportunity and the vision of the prophet, China has achieved great development, its territory has expanded three times, gaining enough living space for the future, and has also achieved a lot of development in many aspects.

But it was for 8 years that they had always been hiding one hand, hiding it, and it became a habit. Even under the premise that China occupied Siberia and Australia, when China attacked the United States and occupied Hawaii, the Americans and the Allies even believed that China's technical level was comparable to theirs.

It was the average between World War II, not World War I, China had already caught up with and exceeded the average level of World War II in most war weapons. However, the United States had just surpassed the level of World War I, and was still on the premise that Britain completely relaxed its technology to the United States.

If China was not included, the United States would probably have the highest returns in this World War. Although it earned enough capital in the war without history, it finally joined the war and became the winner at the lowest price. However, after that, from the Paris Peace Conference in World War I to the outbreak of World War II, Britain and France continued to weaken the United States. The United States not only did not obtain enough technology, but was also maintained by Britain and France in terms of voice. This is also the fundamental reason why the United States supported Germany and invested heavily in Germany before World War II. In the era of peace, relying on victorious countries and voice, it was impossible to get what the United States needed. The United States could only start a war and let the war help the Americans establish authority.

In this time and space, Britain suffered much more than during World War I, and he didn't care about blocking the United States. The post-war events were still too far away from them. In order to defeat Germany and defeat the allies, they had to make reasonable use of all resources. In this case, the United States gained the technology it had always dreamed of, and expanded a big step forward in many technologies such as warships and artillery. In a sense, the United States was able to burst out with such powerful war potential, which was directly related to these technologies.

However, on the battlefield, no matter how powerful the production capacity and the strength of the artillery were, they could not save these running groups. The group divided into 12 were almost devastating and attacked by the same hands. The Japanese kept firing frantically. During the artillery, the American artillery positions were silent, and there was almost a unilateral massacre.

In 20 minutes, at least 60 rounds of artillery fired. The number of artillery was huge after the US military, but there were also many Japanese artillery. They had not opened much. They were only attacked on the position, but they were counterattacked. The 12 divisions of the US military and artillery regiments were all devastating. 70% of them were destroyed in 20 minutes. Without the cover of the artillery regiment, the Canadian infantry on the front line really became a lonely man. (To be continued.)
