A division has 14 artillery companies. If the artillery performance is not mentioned, this organization will definitely not suffer any loss when compared with the Japanese army in the second battle. The Japanese Armor Division only has 36 75mm field cannons and 12 12ommm howitzers. The wing also has a 75mm field cannon company. If it is more than 75mm cannons, it is better to fight the German army in one battle! What's more, the German army in this plane?&1t;/p>

"The Japanese have very few artillery numbers, and they are very scattered, and their artillery skills are also very poor. They just hit the shells to the opposite side without considering the long-range agitation and the suddenness of firepower. Compared with their artillery, I feel that their infantry is better." A German army participating in the war evaluated his opponent like this.&1t;/p>

Looking from the reconnaissance plane, there were clusters of fire and smoke behind the Japanese army. This was the performance of the Japanese artillery that had begun to shoot. Although sporadic artillery bombardment was not dangerous, it had to be cleaned up. At this time, the large forces of both sides had met, and it was time to take out some trump cards.&1t;/p>

"Let our long-range artillery and heavy howitzers open fire!" General Seckert ordered, you know, this major general has three divisions under his command! (Two Standard Divisions and one Reserve Division) According to the German army, one army is only 2 divisions. Although it is not the key direction, it should be given some military-level equipment. Not to mention anything else, 15omm, a few ko9 cannons that can fire 19 kilometers, right? 21omm heavy howitzers also need to be given at least two companies? &1t;/p>

These heavy firepower that reached the Japanese army's imagination and the Germans' outstanding artillery skills brought the Japanese army absolutely a shock of imagination. Think about it, in history, only a few howitzers with more than 2oommm were available in the second battle?&1t;/p>

Although the Japanese army also heard that the German army would strengthen the 8-inch heavy howitzer, it was completely different from the actual feeling. If a 1 oo kilogram of high-explosion bomb was lowered, there were almost no living people within 50 meters! When these heavy artillery aimed at the Japanese army cluster that was charging densely, everything was destined! Accompanied by a shocking loud noise, a crater of more than one person and a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground. With this as the center of the circle, within a range of 3 to 50 meters, almost a small team of soldiers directly steamed in this gun!&1t;/p>

When he saw his comrades' bones disappear instantly and a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, even the crazy people calmed down instantly. The slightly closer distance was even overturned to the ground by a huge shock wave. The impact and pressure difference of the airflow and the scorching air caused the internal organs of these soldiers to be greatly impacted.&1t;/p>

"I stood up with discomfort and saw the soldiers on the island curled up like a shrimp. He coughed violently. Suddenly, his body twitched and a blood-red thing was spit out." I went up to help him. When I approached the ball of things, I found that it was actually a broken lung!&1t;/p>

"I was so scared that I was scattered. I opened my mouth and shouted, but couldn't hear my own voice, which made me even more panic. I subconsciously touched my ear with my hand and saw the red blood of my hand. I knew that my eardrum was also damaged." A Japanese soldier recalled the situation at that time like this after the war.&1t;/p>

When the 21omm heavy artillery destroyed the Japanese attack spearhead bit by bit like a slow and heavy hammer, the ko9 15omm long-range artillery easily wiped Japanese artillery positions from a distance of 12 to 14 kilometers away! Even the remaining officers and soldiers of many Japanese artillery positions could not determine where the German artillery shells were fired after the war ended! You must know that the entire Japanese 6th Army had never conducted a shooting with a designed distance of more than 14 kilometers! Even when attacking the Lushunkou Fortress in the Russo-Japanese War, the range of those siege cannons was only 10 kilometers!&1t;/p>

The so-called artillery destruction and infantry occupation! During the French-Prussian War, the German 6th Army had become accustomed to concentrating dozens of artillery companies and hundreds of artillery attacked the French defensive positions and artillery on the opposite side. After the battle, the infantry went up to clean the battlefield directly. This time, the Germans felt that what they did seemed to be easier than their predecessors. At least, in the Battle of Seed, the French artillery jumped a few times, and this time, the Japanese artillery was directly abolished in the artillery duel. The 15omm cannon, which was originally used for deep suppression, soon lost its job and could only turn the muzzle to the infantry and some logistics units!&1t;/p>

According to the German theory, this artillery is still not enough to be used on the front line with a length of about 8 kilometers. It is difficult to blockade by firepower alone, so it is also difficult to rely on infantry to repel the opponent at critical moments. And those Japanese troops who were not taken care of by heavy artillery finally had the opportunity to fight face to face with the German 6th Army soldiers! They shouted and rushed towards the opponent. According to past experience and what the French gave them, the Hodgecas machine gun was deployed on both sides of the position, and the remaining Japanese troops launched an attack in squadrons.&1t;/p>

"Our soldiers formed a front line, and the German army on the other side seemed to be scattered into groups. When we charged, we were like a wave. All the troops wanted to pull the distance as soon as possible and then enter our favorite melee mode, while the Germans didn't think so." After the war, a Japanese major described the situation of the infantry troops when the two sides fought for the first time.&1t;/p>

The German infantry troops are more scattered, but the depth is very large, even in areas with less cover. The most elite combat squads are arranged on the front line, each squad has a MGO9 light machine gun or a captured Lewis machine gun. The total number of an elite combat squad is about 13 to 15 people, with a machine gun, a grenade launcher (or grenade launcher), 4 submachine guns, and at least 3 semi-automatic rifles. In addition, there are several pistols. The entire squad is divided into three combat groups, and a combat group with grenade launcher is at the back, and is distributed in an inverted triangle with the other two combat groups.&1t;/p>

From squad to platoon, from platoon to company, there is also the same three-three principle. German 6th Army soldiers used dense firepower to form a temporary defense line with a large depth! 8oo meters! 6oo meters! When the Japanese army approached 5oo meters, all the approaching Japanese troops suddenly rushed to the opposite position like crazy. They shouted, picked up the "spike" that was taller than themselves and had a foot of 1.8 meters and rushed to the seemingly scattered German infantry queue in the distance.&1t;/p>

The Germans in the distance looked calmly at their opponents like beasts. The ammunition supplier next to them calmly took a 1oo bullet belt to the machine gun, while the infantrymen with complex protection were divided into two. The first batch of infantry holding rifles began to shoot 30 meters away, while the submachine gunmen took care of their magazine sieve and drums.&1t;/p>
