Chapter 1623 Attack Target (Thanks to Book Friend Jie for the Reward!)

In the real history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, facing the Japanese troops with extremely high military literacy and extremely sophisticated weapons and equipment, most of the anti-Japanese armed forces were beaten.

Of course, the Japanese troops were well-equipped, targeting China.

Compared with the weapons and equipment of European and American powers, the island countries did not have much advantage.

At the very least, many Japanese troops did not do well in mechanization.

Of course, this is also related to the complex terrain and poor transportation conditions in China.

In countries such as European and American powers, transportation conditions are mostly very convenient, which is more suitable for mechanized troops to march at high speed.

In a word, after the Meiji Restoration, the island countries have long become an advanced industrial country.

On the other hand, China, due to various historical reasons, is a backward agricultural country.

To put it bluntly, during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, let alone ordinary people, even the soldiers could hardly get enough food.

How can you have high-tech weapons and equipment if you can't even get enough food?

Among the many kinds of high-tech weapons and equipment, cannons are a very common one.

The Japanese troops could beat almost any anti-Japanese armed forces in terms of the number, caliber, and range of artillery.

In fact, during the entire war, it was a blessing for any anti-Japanese armed forces to have mortars.

If they were lucky enough to have a light mountain cannon, it would be equivalent to having a big killer.

If a battalion could have two mortars, it would definitely be an elite anti-Japanese armed force.

And those regiments with six or seven mortars were the elite among the elite.

Such a regiment would definitely be able to walk sideways in the anti-Japanese armed forces to which it belonged.

In fact, even the Japanese, once they encountered such a force, would think carefully about how to annihilate this force at the lowest cost.

In fact, in most cases, when fighting against the various anti-Japanese armed forces in China, the Japanese troops had a great advantage.

Unless the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces deployed more than ten times the force of the Japanese troops.

Otherwise, the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces would still be beaten by the Japanese troops.

This beating was first shown in artillery.

Whenever the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces were found to have deployed their rare artillery, the Japanese would always take advantage of the larger number of artillery to destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces as soon as possible.

If the artillery could not be deployed, the Japanese troops would call in planes to help.

Therefore, even if there was a good opportunity to bombard the Japanese infantry, the anti-Japanese armed forces did not dare to use the artillery for a long time.

To be precise, even if they were used, in addition to the short time of use, they had not fired much. What they had to do was to move their positions as soon as possible.

After cleaning up the artillery of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, the Japanese troops would then deal with the Chinese machine gun positions.

At this time, the Type 92 infantry guns, especially the grenade launchers, which were equipped in large quantities by the Japanese troops, would be of great use.

Taking the Type 92 infantry gun as an example, the Japanese would make full use of the lightness of this cannon and shoot at close range.

With the devil's superb military quality, when attacking the machine gun position of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, they can basically solve one place with one shot.

And if they use grenade launchers, within the effective range of 500 meters, most of the devils can also hit wherever they point.

Although the power of the grenade launcher is not very large, there is no problem in using it to deal with the light machine guns of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces.

In fact, to be precise, a full-strength devil battalion of 1,100 people is enough to be equivalent to a Chinese division in terms of firepower.

And a standard Chinese division has a strength of about 10,000 people.

However, if a Chinese division of the second brigade and the fourth regiment confronts a devil battalion head-on, the outcome is actually very difficult to predict.

Under normal circumstances, the Chinese division can kill half of a devil battalion when besieging it.

However, in the end, the remaining half of the devils can easily escape.

If the Chinese division is not well operated, or the previous organization is too incomplete, it will be chased by a devil battalion.

In the eyes of those who do not know the truth, the Chinese division has several times more troops than the Japanese battalion, but it is so passive because they have no intention of resisting the Japanese.

Obviously, these are all misunderstandings without knowing the truth.

It is so difficult to deal with a Japanese battalion. If the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces want to deal with a Japanese regiment, brigade, or division, it will be even more difficult.

The reason is very simple. The Type 92 infantry gun has another name, called the battalion gun.

When the scale reaches the level of brigade and division, in addition to the Type 92 infantry gun, the Japanese troops also have mountain guns and more powerful field guns.

Even, there are a few howitzers with larger calibers.

In addition, there are also small-caliber rapid-fire guns.

Of course, these cannons are all affiliated with the artillery regiments under each division.

In terms of artillery strength, the most powerful among the Japanese troops is actually the heavy artillery brigade.

Heavy artillery, as the name suggests, is a cannon with a larger caliber, longer range, and greater power.

If I have to describe it, the caliber of these cannons is at least 150 mm.

In addition to the 150 mm heavy cannon, there are also 240 mm heavy mortars, 305 mm heavy howitzers, and 320 mm mortars!

Therefore, in the process of a large-scale battle, if the Japanese troops dispatched a heavy artillery brigade, the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces could only rely on themselves, and there was no effective way to counterattack.

Even if the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces occupied the terrain, they could not suffer the tragic fate of being severely damaged or even annihilated.

Of course, there is another reason.

On most battlefields, for various reasons, the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces basically had no reinforced concrete fortifications.

Simple civil engineering works, in front of modern artillery, the end is a crushing defeat.

It must be said that Ye Tian thought of these again, in fact, there is a reason.

The reason is very simple. When deliberately searching for the target, Ye Tian accidentally discovered a heavy artillery regiment!

Seeing this, Ye Tian's eyes lit up.

At the same time, Ye Tian also showed ecstasy.

In fact, according to Ye Tian's previous plan, the target should be an ordinary artillery regiment, or a tank unit.

For most anti-Japanese armed forces, it is almost an impossible task to deal with a Japanese artillery regiment.

In fact, it is very difficult for most anti-Japanese armed forces to deal with the Japanese tanks.

Although, most of the Japanese tanks are known for their thin skin and large fillings.

In other words, the armor of most of the Japanese tanks is very thin and their defense capabilities are very average.

However, even if they want to deal with such a small tank, most of the anti-Japanese armed forces can only use human lives to smash it.

The most important thing is that even if they use human lives to smash it, they still need certain skills and tactics.
