One hundred and sixty-fourth what the hell is this?
Seeing Ye Feng pondering, the officers at all levels of the independent divisions around him immediately looked hot, and everyone thought to themselves, was the division really ready to build an air force?
Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan also asked expectantly: "Second, are you really planning to build our own air force?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves with enthusiasm, Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Brothers, we will sooner or later have a powerful air force. However, after we restore Hangzhou, we will have a slightly larger piece of land and our air force will have the possibility of construction."
After all, the first step to establish an air force is to build an airport. It is not appropriate to build an airport in a small mountainous county in Shannan County. Only a large city in Hangzhou can build a large airport. With an airport, it is possible to form an air force.
"Teacher, don't worry, it will take two or three days to restore Hangzhou and annihilate the 6th Division of the Japanese." Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan was full of confidence and said with a patted chest.
In the command center, the other officers at all levels also had this expression, and they were all full of confidence.
Seeing that everyone was confident, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction, but he still reminded everyone: "Brothers, we won a few battles today, but we cannot take it lightly. After all, our opponent is a A-type division of Japan."
"I believe everyone should be clear about the Sixth Division. The Sixth Division is our old opponent. Before we attacked Hangzhou, the total number of this division was about 20,000, which was relatively large. It was composed of four infantry corpses, one field artillery corps, one cavalry corps, one engineer corps, one baggage corps, and one chariot corps. In addition, there are many other auxiliary troops in Hangzhou city."
"The battle started in the morning until now. Their chariot brigade was wiped out by us, and one of the infantry brigades was wiped out by us. In addition, about two thousand Japanese devils were wiped out in scattered ways, and about two and a half regis were left. However, their field artillery brigade and cavalry brigade have not yet appeared. We must beware of these two troops and prevent any trouble from the Japanese."
Ye Feng said a lot, and the main purpose was to ask everyone not to underestimate the enemy and not to take it lightly. After Ye Feng said that, everyone thought about it and his face became much more serious.
Deputy division commander Chu Tianyuan also looked upright and analyzed: "We have investigated this field artillery corps of the 6th Division of the Little Japan. It has 3 brigades under its jurisdiction, with 24 Type 38 75mm field artillery 91 Type 105mm field artillery 12, and there are many trucks and people."
Ye Feng nodded and gave Chu Tianyuan a complimentary look. Deputy Commander Chu remembered nothing wrong. The field artillery corps of the Sixth Division were equipped with such cannons.
Ye Feng didn't take the 38-type 75mm field cannon to heart. Ye Feng was wary of his 12-type 91-type 105mm field cannon. This heavy cannon with a caliber of more than 100 mm is powerful. If the Japanese use them to attack him, they should be careful.
Seeing Ye Feng's praise, Chu Tianyuan continued: "The cavalry corps under the Sixth Division have two cavalry squadrons and one machine gun squadron, with hundreds of war horses and very mobile."
After Chu Tianyuan finished speaking, Ye Feng concluded: "We must beware of these two troops in Little Japan. Send our people to further understand where these two troops are and make corresponding preparations."
****
In the evening, west of Hangzhou City.
It was getting dark, and the huge group of chariots of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade were ready to go and appeared directly in front of the Japanese.
The Mechanized Infantry Brigade is about two kilometers ahead of the Japanese army, which is the last line of defense in the west of Hangzhou. The commander of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, Tang Wankun, had already taken the telescope and occupied the favorable terrain. He had observed it several times from a distance. Many new fortifications have been built in the small Japanese defense line in front, perhaps because he learned that the Independent Division had a large number of chariots and was built in hastily.
There are many barbed wire and anti-tank trenches in front of the defense line. In addition, it is not known whether the Japanese have buried landmines, which cannot be seen through the telescope.
There are many trenches in the depth of the defense line, as well as many machine gun points, bunkers, etc., and through the telescope, there are many Japanese devils on the position.
Now, the mechanized infantry brigade has set up an attack formation and the soldiers are ready to attack. However, Tang Wankun did not issue an order to attack. Tang Wankun was waiting, waiting for the heavy artillery brigade behind.
Behind the Mechanized Infantry Brigade are two infantry brigades, namely the First Infantry Brigade, the Second Infantry Brigade, and the two large infantry brigades have tens of thousands of people.
The heavy artillery brigade and the mechanized infantry brigade were about four or five kilometers behind the mechanized infantry brigade. The soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade were building artillery positions and preparing to launch another large-scale artillery bombardment on the third line of defense of the Japanese army.
So far, the independent division's troops are basically on the surface. I believe the 6th Division of the Japanese also knows it. Ye Feng clearly told the Japanese that I would shell your defense line, and then the mechanized infantry brigade's chariot group led tens of thousands of infantry to charge and rushed into Hangzhou City.
Now, the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade are still building artillery positions. One 155mm howitzers are removed from the tractor and pushed to the designated position. One cannon is neatly arranged, and it is very spectacular.
The soldiers are preparing in an orderly manner, but it is estimated that there will be some time left for the official firing, and it may have to wait after dark. After all, such a large-scale artillery bombardment is a lot of preparation work.
......
It was slightly dark, and it was a little hard to see clearly where it was a little farther away. While it was dark, a long convoy had no big headlights. It was slowly marching under the dark sky.
If you walk in and take a look, you will find that this is a Japanese artillery unit. The sprayed plaster flags on large trucks are very obvious, and they are stuck, full of Japanese devils.
There are at least dozens of these large trucks. In the middle of the convoy, there are twelve large trucks that are all traction behind them. If you are an insider, you will see that this is a Type 99 105mm field gun from Little Japan, with a total of 12.
This little Japanese artillery unit was secretly done and definitely did not do anything good. This was also a question that Ye Feng was worried about. Ye Feng guessed that what would happen to the field artillery corps of the 6th Division of the little Japanese? Looking at this now, it must be famous.
In addition to being equipped with 12 105mm field guns, the entire field artillery corps of the 6th Division of the Little Japan was also equipped with 24 75mm caliber hill cannons.
However, in order to prevent exposure, only one of the brigades was dispatched this time, and they were preparing to use these 12 heavy artillery to sneak attack the Independent Division's heavy artillery brigade at a long distance. In addition, only one brigade was dispatched, the target was much smaller and the feasibility of exposure was much lower.
In addition, due to the range issue, the small Japanese 75mm caliber cannon is useless. After all, the target of the small Japanese sneak attack was a heavy artillery brigade. It cannot be too close, and can only sneak attacks from a long distance.
The independent division's heavy artillery brigade was huge in scale and bombarded the second line of defense of Japan on a large scale. It was relatively easy to figure out the location of the heavy artillery brigade. Therefore, after learning about the location of the heavy artillery brigade and the heavy artillery brigade had chosen a position and was building an artillery position to prepare to fire at the third line of defense of Japan, the Japanese army was ecstatic.
For the Sixth Division, this may be the only good news in a series of bad news. The commander of the Sixth Division, Mitsuma Niujima, personally ordered the field artillery corps to dispatch a 105mm field artillery brigade and secretly go to sneak attack the independent division's heavy artillery brigade.
The routes of the sneak attack by this Japanese artillery brigade were carefully planned and selected, avoiding the various units of the Independent Division and driving carefully in the dark sky.
The entire convoy had more than 30 large trucks, and the trucks were full of Japanese devils, and some Japanese devils ran to catch up. After driving for half an hour, the sky was dark, and only the moonlight in the sky was shining faint light. The Japanese devils marched by this slight light.
The leader of the team to attack was actually the captain of the colonel of the Little Japanese Field Artillery Corps. The old devil sat in the cab of one of the big trucks with his eyes closed, and there was no expression on his face.
There were three people in the cab, a Japanese driver and a Japanese Corps in the middle, and there was a Japanese Major next to it.
The master looked at the sky outside, looked at his watch, took out the map, turned on the small flashlight and looked at it, and then said: "Governor Captain, we will reach the designated area in five minutes."
Upon hearing this, the Japanese colonel finally opened his eyes and showed a hint of joy: "Yo Xi! The heavy artillery group of the Independent Division this time was dead."
After driving for a few minutes, the Japanese convoy arrived at a flat wasteland. This wasteland was not far from the road, and Japanese trucks drove off the road and headed towards the wasteland.
Obviously, that large flat wasteland was the area chosen by Japan, where it would build artillery positions and then launch a sneak attack on the heavy artillery brigade in the distance.
If you look at it from the map, you will see that the straight-line distance is about four or five kilometers from the huge artillery position of the Heavy Artillery Brigade. The place chosen by the Japanese is very tricky. Their 105mm field gun can fully hit the position of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.
The truck stopped and the captain of the Japanese colonel got out. Accompanied by several Japanese officers, he looked at the direction of the heavy artillery brigade in the distance. If he could see the expressions of the Japanese officers next to him, it would be not difficult to find that these people were all ecstatic.
Under the command of some Japanese officers, a group of small Japanese artillery hurriedly built artillery positions and prepared for the artillery before firing.
