    Going further, we entered the effective range of the machine gun firepower of the Kharkov defenders on the city wall Don't think that the mg08 bullet from 2,500 meters away can't kill people. The maximum range of the German Maxim even exceeds 3,800 meters. Tanaka can  I didn¡¯t want my field artillery unit to take such a risk and get close to the city wall to shoot Of course, the 75mm mountain artillery group of the Tanaka unit still reluctantly fired a few firepower points on the Kharkov city wall within the range.  A sweep

    Even in Wang Geng's previous life, the most effective shooting distance of direct-fire artillery represented by tanks was often between 1,500 meters and 1,800 meters. The 18 Type 41 mountain guns of the Tanaka Artillery Regiment not only blasted the north side of the fortress wall.  Except for dozens of bowl-sized depressions, no greater results were obtained. The difficulty of sending mountain artillery shells into the Ukrainian machine gun muzzle from 3,000 meters away is no less difficult than landing on the moon in the future. It depends entirely on the blind!  It¡¯s almost impossible to cover it up!

    "Division Commander, my Duli Field Heavy Artillery Regiment has consumed a lot of physical strength and is reluctant to continue the attack. Many ammunition players have vomited all over the floor from exhaustion. I want to see if I can let the Tanaka Regiment continue to move forward and advance to a distance.  Within 1,000 meters of the city wall, the 75mm mountain field artillery is easier to move than my heavy artillery. We use close range shooting to penetrate the opponent's machine gun fortifications from the north!" Hashimoto Koji complained while coming up with an idea.

    "Joke Colonel Hashimoto, your 15cm heavy artillery can't blast through the city wall of Kharkov. How can my 75mm mountain field gun blast through the city wall? If you ask me, I still have to call for reinforcements from the Allied Air Force.  Only the heavy bombs mounted on the Handley Petty O/400 can deal with the opponent's fortress!" King Tanaka pushed back without hesitation, but this guy pointed the finger at the Allied Air Force, Hashimoto's heavy artillery unit!  The team kept firing for too long, and the gunners might fall down from exhaustion if they kept at it any longer.

    "Division commander, gentlemen, I suggest you approach the city wall and attack with gun blasts?" A staff captain of the Japanese 3rd Division couldn't help but said in the corner.

    ????????? Oba Jiro, Hishikarataka, Kikuchi and others looked around, but it was Captain Shimomura Sada, the artillery staff officer of the 3rd Division.

    Shimomura Sada, 18879231968325, is from Kochi Prefecture, Japan.  In his previous life, Wang Geng was the last Army Minister of the old Japanese Empire.  The eldest son of former Army Lieutenant Sasakamura Dingci.  He studied at Kanazawa No. 1 Junior High School and is now Ishikawa Prefectural Kanazawa Izumigaoka High School.  Army Central Infant School.  On May 27, 1908, he graduated from the artillery section of the 20th batch of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, ranked sixth out of 276 people. On December 25 of the same year, he was awarded the rank of artillery second lieutenant and was attached to the 14th Field Artillery Regiment.

    On November 25, 1916, he graduated from the 28th batch of 56 people in the Army University as the chief.  He has successively served as an attachment to the General Staff Headquarters and a member of the General Staff Headquarters.

    Captain Shimomura Sada, a graduate of the artillery department who was appointed chief of the 28th class of the Japanese Army University, is a typical representative of outstanding students. Compared with this chief of the 28th class of the mainland university, Seishiro Itagaki, Mitsuru Ushijima and Tomofumi Yamashita were in the same period.  The mainland was unable to shake the reputation of this artillery expert, but Shimomura Shimomura's promotion path in the Japanese Army was not smooth. So far, he has only become an artillery captain, working under the Japanese 3rd Division Chief of Staff Hishikari Takashi.  Artillery staff present.

    This guy is from Kochi Prefecture.  The 20th batch of the Army Military Academy graduated from the same period: Prince Asaka Miya Hidehiko, Prince Higashomiya Minoruhiko, Prince Kitashirakawa Miya Narihisa, Yoshimoto Teiichi, Kimura Hyoutarou, Ushijima Satoshi, Sakai Takashi, Iida Shojiro Nana, and artillery general Toko.

    The 28th Chief Officers of the Army University who graduated from the same period are Itagaki Seishiro, Ushijima Satoshi, Kimura Hy¨­taro, Tanaka Shizuki, Yamashita Tofumi, Yoshimoto Sadichi, Sakai Takashi, Harada Kumayoshi, and Murakami Keisaku.

    Since he was not born great, his death is not considered glorious. As the last Army Minister of the old Japanese Empire, Wang Geng, Shimomura Tasada died in a traffic accident 23 years after Japan surrendered in his previous life.

    At this moment, in this time and space of 1918, it was obviously time for Captain Shimomura Sada, as the artillery staff officer, to step forward and come up with a plan for the 3rd Division.

    ""At 15:00 on July 31, 1918, the railway station five kilometers north of Kharkiv, the former enemy headquarters of the Central Route Army of the Allied Southwest Front

    "Captain Shimomura used his gun to blast the city wall? Although the fortifications on the northern wall of Kharkov Fortress were bombarded by our heavy artillery fire, they never stopped. How can the infantry approach the city wall? The Ukrainians just throw Germans out of the gun holes.  That wooden-handled grenade can blow us up" The 3rd Division Chief of Staff, Colonel Hisashikari Takashi, obviously did not agree with the suggestion of his artillery staff officer.

    "But Chief of Staff, if you want to eliminate the firepower point inside the north wall of the fortress, you must destroy the fortress wall. Otherwise, it will be in vain to expect the heavy bombers of the Allied Air Force to dispatch again. The walls on both sides of the opponent's core position in the gap are each more than 1,500 meters long.  Just relying on heavy aerial bombs, I don¡¯t know how many bombs would be needed to completely destroy such a long city wall" Captain Shimomura Sada, as the chief of the 28th phase of the mainland, and ten artillery piecesThe guy with a scientific background is holding on to his point of view with a pinched neck.

    "Captain Shimomura, what you said is easy. To use explosives to deal with the city wall, the engineers have to dig holes under the city wall first, right? How much time will this take? How many explosives need to be prepared? For such a long city wall, just arrange a blasting point  Definitely not, right? How long do you think we can open Kharkov City with your strategy?" Colonel Tanaka, commander of the 3rd Division Field Artillery Regiment, teased from the side.

    "Captain Tamura, it all depends on manpower. The Engineer Regiment can use the Ukrainians' communication trenches in the trench area outside the city wall to dig in covertly. It takes a night to dig the hole under the city wall As for **, let alone  The problem is, the gunpowder stored by the Central Route Army in Belgorod can be transported up by train in an hour" Shimomura insisted stubbornly.

    "The Central Army does not have that much time Shimomura, please stop it Explosive blasting is not a strategy that can be chosen today. There are less than 4 hours until dark I, Oba Jiro, must step in today.  Go to Kharkov!" Division Commander Ting Erlang interrupted everyone's argument with a gloomy face.

    "Division Commander, are you worried about the comeback of the German Air Force?" Colonel Hashimoto Koji, commander of the Duli Field Heavy Artillery Wing of the 3rd Division, couldn't help but ask. Although his heavy artillery was used for buildings in the northern part of Kharkov  Although the damage was severe, the strength and thickness of the Kharkov Fortress walls were beyond imagination. Three waves of shelling by the Duli Field Heavy Artillery Regiment failed to completely knock out or injure the Ukrainians inside the fortress walls from their fortifications.  Get out
