    Chapter 655: The killing weapon comes from the Kwantung Army

    The palm-sized first defensive position of Huangyadong, under the bombardment of Okamura Neji's secret weapon, actually caused the **3rd Brigade, a veteran force, to lose almost a regiment of troops. Huangyadong garrison commander Chang Feng  Ma Chaoyang, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Communist Party of China, could not swallow this breath. The commander of the regiment who was ordered to withdraw to the core position of Huangyadong to rest was crying like a man in tears.

    The seven-foot-tall man, with the remaining hundreds of brothers under his command, burst into tears and almost fainted when he saw the face of brigade commander Ma Chaoyang. The tears in the eyes of those soldiers never stopped. Chang Feng saw  I feel sour in my heart. For the 3rd Brigade of the Communist Party of China, this loss is really worthless. The Japanese army continued to bombard the soldiers. The soldiers did not even have a chance to fight back and were maimed. It was said that they were bombarded by little Japanese, but this  The cannons are too overbearing. The fortifications designed to be the strongest are actually vulnerable.

    In his telegram to division commander Tang Qiuli, in addition to reporting on the defeat in the initial battle to defend Huangyadong, he also specifically requested the division commander to activate the division intelligence system to find out what weapons the Japanese army used.  I don't know where the ruthless attack came from, or how to deal with the following battle. The entire Huangya Cave was filled with resentment at the result of today's battle. Only Okamura Neiji, the old fox, smiled happily.

    After surrounding Huangya Cave, Okamura Neiji was not in a hurry to attack. Looking at the terrain around Huangya Cave, which was obviously dotted with bunkers and bunkers, the old Japanese felt a chill run down his back. He understood that Ryuichi and his brigade were in the vicinity of the mountain.  Why did they fill in the troops, but there was no response at all? With this terrain, even if all the troops in hand were filled in, I am afraid that they would not be able to break through the obviously well-designed defense system.

    He rushed back to Northeast China overnight and asked for help from his old boss, Kwantung Army Commander Nanjiro. As the former Kwantung Army Chief of Staff, Okamura Neiji knew all the deployment and equipment of the Kwantung Army. He had the heavy equipment he needed, which was the deployment  The third heavy artillery brigade of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Dongning, Heilongjiang, is equipped with 64 heavy artillery pieces with a diameter of 205 mm. It is the only strategic heavy artillery brigade of the Kwantung Army. Its combat targets are:  Haishanwei was the only outlet for the Soviet Union in the Far East.

    According to the strategic vision of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, once the Japan-Soviet war broke out, these ultra-large-caliber super cannons with a range of dozens of kilometers would instantly destroy the Soviet Haishanwei military port, preventing the Soviets from using it as a base and warships crossing  Sea of ??Japan, an attempt to attack the Japanese mainland. It can be said that this Kwantung Army's only strategic heavy artillery brigade is responsible for guarding the northern gate of the Japanese mainland. Therefore, except for the Kwantung Army Commander himself, no other senior general has the power to use  This force.

    What Okamura Neiji was interested in was these super big guys. When he saw General Nanjiro, he did not hide his thoughts. Nanjiro looked at his slightly tired former subordinates and knew that his life in North China was not easy.  , as the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro has always wanted to include North China in the Kwantung Army's sphere of influence and have his chief of staff serve as the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army. Half of his goal has been achieved.

    Okamura Neiji's difficulties were his difficulties, so he would naturally support him unconditionally. He would give guns to guns and people to people. In a few words, he decided on the heavy artillery brigade and dispatched 28 heavy artillery to support Okamura Neiji.  When the sub-unit attacked the Huangyadong area, Nanjiro said to Okamura Neji in a solemn tone: "Okamura-kun, North China is the foundation of the imperial holy war. With the full-scale war against China, only Manchuria  , can no longer meet the growing war consumption.¡±

    Okamura Neiji nodded sympathetically, and Nanjiro continued: "I have reported to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp. From an overall strategic perspective, Manchuria and North China should be classified as a war zone in order to better utilize the resources of the two places.  Human and material resources, therefore, Gangcun-kun's performance in North China is not only for the honor of the Kwantung Army, but also related to the fundamental interests of the empire. Please, Gangcun-kun."

    After Nanjiro finished speaking, he held Neji Okamura's hand tightly. In fact, in the eyes of all senior generals of the Kwantung Army, the vast and fertile Far East of the Soviet Union, rich mineral deposits, and uncultivated fertile land are extremely rare.  The aboriginals have always had a piece of fat on their lips, and their greed has made these greedy Japanese people restless.

    Since the middle of the last century, Japan, an island country that has been taught a lesson by European and American powers, has embarked on the road of industrialization. As its national power has increased, there has been a strong desire to kill China, the thousand-year-old teacher and cultural motherland that is separated from the Japanese archipelago by a sea.  The desire to kill, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and the fledgling Japan knocked over the giant dragon of China, which made the Japanese, who originally felt guilty, burst with confidence. The seemingly powerful China was so vulnerable.

    At the beginning of this century, the Russo-Japanese War broke out in China's Liaodong Peninsula. To put it bluntly, this war was just two hungry wolves fighting over a sheep in someone else's yard. It was nothing more than a decisive battle.??This sheep that was destined to be devoured just entered the wolf's mouth, and the owner of the sheep actually showed ridiculous neutrality and did not help anyone.

    Even the Japanese at the time could not believe the result of the war. The behemoth from the north, with its feet straddling Europe and Asia, was knocked back by the Japanese, who mustered up the courage at the time but were actually trembling in their hearts, and suffered a bloody head.  The Liaodong Peninsula was replaced by a new owner. The victory of the Russo-Japanese War gave all Japanese a shot of stimulant. There was no rival on the Asian continent, and they embarked on the road of no return.  In the end, they ended up being defeated and surrendered, allowing the Yankees to colonize.

    As one of the core figures of the Kwantung Army, Okamura Neiji, doesn't he understand Nanjiro's painstaking efforts? Only when North China is as stable as Manchuria and connected with Manchuria can the Kwantung Army have the capital to challenge the giant bear in the north.  , this is also the unswerving overall strategy of the Kwantung Army. Throughout the entire Anti-Japanese War, although as the Japanese army occupied an increasing area of ????China's land, its military strength was already stretched. The vast land of China diluted the strength of the Japanese army.

    However, the Kwantung Army, which has millions, has always been guarding the very safe Sino-Soviet border. The German army was approaching the city of Moscow. Stalin was no longer able to look east. The Kwantung Army neither went south to join the battlefield in the Central Plains nor went north to attack the empty Soviet Far East.  The area seemed to be indecisive and did nothing. It stood idly by and allowed the Japanese troops in other directions to fall into the quagmire. It was really puzzling. It was a strategic decision-making mistake of the Kwantung Army to always keep its eyes on the north and leave millions of troops vacant.  Whether it is the greedy personality that determines destiny, perhaps, only those crazy people who fought against China during the war of aggression knew clearly.

    If the millions of Kwantung Army troops march southward and sweep over like a torrential wave, neither the Central Army nor the revolutionary Eighth Route Army will be able to withstand this violent force. China's War of Resistance Against Japan will be much more difficult to fight. Will the Nationalist Government ultimately be able to win the war?  It is difficult to determine whether Chongqing, which is located in the southwest, will gain a foothold. The final victory will definitely not be in 1945. It may take another three to five years, or even longer.

    The behemoth-like cannon was dismantled and put on a train to rush south. The performance of this kind of cannon in actual combat was something that Neiji Okamura had never seen before, and even Nanjiro had never seen it. It could be used in actual combat.  Given the opportunity to test his power, Nanjiro was happy to be a favor. When it came, he gave Okamura Neiji a big gift. The Kwantung Army Headquarters is actively considering forming a new southward corps to support the North China battlefield. There will be no shortage of troops.  There are 110,000 people in three first-class divisions.

    Okamura Neiji returned to North China with a full load, and was busy deploying heavy artillery. It took a lot of effort to transport these terrifying big guys into the Taihang Mountains. The results of the first bombardment proved that Okamura Neiji was an extremely powerful person.  A senior Japanese general with tactical knowledge and strategic vision can be called Tang Qiuli's opponent.

    After the shelling stopped, the Japanese army dispatched a division of troops and easily occupied the first fortification of the Huangyadong base without encountering any resistance. Afterwards, the results of the battle were reported.  Where is Okamura Neji? Looking at the battle report, the old devil Okamura Neji is very satisfied.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, after preliminary statistics of the results, this shelling destroyed a total of more than 200 reinforced concrete bunkers of the Chinese defenders. Based on the 30 troops per bunker, a total of more than 6,000 Chinese soldiers were annihilated this time. Specific details  The figures are being tallied and will be reported later.¡± I don¡¯t know what the psychology is. Maybe it¡¯s because since the war in North China began, the Imperial Army has been beaten everywhere. This is the only great victory. Out of the need to boost morale, the Japanese troops on the front line  Commander, the results of the battle were exaggerated several times.

    The strange thing is that Okamura Neiji actually believed such a battle report. He had reason to believe that the power of such a huge cannon shocked even him, who claimed to be battle-hardened and well-informed. He saw it with his own eyes.  , when a cannonball went down, the huge rock was overturned and exploded, and a huge crater appeared on the ground.

    Neiji Okamura came to the scene in person. He wanted to carefully observe the effects of the artillery bombardment. Commander Nanjiro also needed detailed ear data. A large group of senior Japanese commanders, along with a large group of artillery commanders and engineers, etc.  , arrived at the bombardment site, the empty soil covering the uppers of the shoes, the gravel and concrete fragments everywhere, the exposed steel bars, the specks of blood, and the trees broken into sawdust all showed the catastrophe that had been suffered here.

    Japanese technicians began to measure the crater and calculate the explosive force. Neji Okamura carefully looked at the explosion point of the shell. The hard stone wall was covered with white craters. He picked up a piece of concrete fragments, which was more than 80 centimeters long.  The thickness does not include the soil covering it. Even such a bunker is vulnerable to the imperial army's giant artillery. Okamura Neiji doesn't know how many such bunkers and fortifications there are in front.

    He only knew that no matter how strong the defense system was, it would fall apart in front of the imperial army's cannons. The soldiers of Tang Qiuli's army huddled inside were his victims. This was Tang Qiu?The base for producing ammunition will become a ruin more desolate than a desert. Unfortunately, I cannot cut off the heads of Chinese soldiers with my own hands. In three days, Huangya Cave will become a historical term.
