Wei Mingyang ordered the artillery battalion to prepare the position outside the camp.

It is not a two-gate artillery position, but a position of the 16th Artillery Regiment.

His regiment of anti-aircraft guns and 150 mm howitzers need to participate in the next bombing of the Japanese artillery positions.

The remaining tasks of the battalions in the regiment have not been issued yet, so continue training.

If Wei Mingyang's own ideas were followed, I would like to train this group for three months before going to the battlefield.

I believe that at that time, I will definitely be one of the elite troops.

Unfortunately, the Japanese won't give him that long time.

We can only train soldiers on the battlefield, and soldiers trained in this way will grow very quickly.

But the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

What he can do now is to blow up the Japanese artillery positions first when fighting.

It is absolutely necessary to minimize the gap in strength between the two sides caused by weapons and to destroy the Japanese artillery.

Luo Zhuoying immediately proposed the method of Wei Mingyang to destroy the Japanese artillery positions and reported to Chen Cheng.

If it was before yesterday, Chen Cheng could make the decision.

But now he needs to discuss with Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office, and also report to the chairman.

Although the Chairman is in charge of the military and political affairs of the entire army, he has to take advantage of all aspects of the matter.

However, he had a natural preference for guiding military operations, and he often had things to direct the regiment.

Today I heard Wei Mingyang’s idea that the joint combat between the air force and artillery was still a novel idea.

Normally, the Air Force sends bombers to bomb the Japanese artillery positions.

The officers of the National Army are very aware of their air power and have never had such an idea:

The precious air force dispatched bombardment of the Japanese "Izumo", but unfortunately it did not achieve its goal.

You may have or never thought of using the air force to deal with the Japanese artillery.

However, the Japanese planes bombed the National Army's artillery a lot.

This idea is still OK to use artillery against artillery.

The Chairman had no reason not to agree. The Air Force had to contact the ground in real time, and this needed to be prepared in advance.

Fortunately, this is not an unsolvable problem.

Last night, we marched overnight to Luodian, Changshu, and Fushan.

I originally thought the offense would start in the morning, but I didn’t expect the order I received was an offense suspension.

Give the soldiers a long rest.

The direction of the action of the large national army troops was finally grasped by the Shanghai Expeditionary Forces of Japan.

It turned out that he went to encircle and suppress the 11th Infantry Division.

The Shanbao Chong Martial Arts Corps did not take the initiative to attack today and continued to strengthen the fortifications.

The Shanghai Expeditionary Force also stopped attacking in the city and was preparing to transport the team to reinforce the 11th Infantry Division.

This morning is a rare peaceful time since the entire Battle of Songhu started.

Both the enemy and us were nervously preparing for the next battle.

Wei Mingyang was very busy today. The 16th Artillery Regiment, which was temporarily under his command, was a heavy artillery regiment equipped with 150 mm howitzers.

At this time, the whole regiment was busy preparing for the position.

Preparations were made according to Wei Mingyang's request, just among these 150 mm cannons.

Wei Mingyang's command center is set up next to the anti-aircraft gun.

The contact team is already in place and is waiting for the Air Force reconnaissance plane to take its place.

At 11:00, four planes flew over from the air.

With one reconnaissance plane and three fighter planes, it seems that the Air Force has sent an escort to the reconnaissance planes.

When Gao Hongmin was flying over Luodian in a reconnaissance plane, the wireless telephone team leader Feng Xingguo began to call:

"Yangtze River! Yangtze River! I am the Yellow River! I am the Yellow River!"

This is the first time they have carried out such an action today.

It was the first time that all these people on the plane, and there were three crew members on the reconnaissance plane.

This reconnaissance aircraft not only has three previous crew members, but also has two artillery observers and three radio personnel.

The mission team led by Feng Xingguo is very simple: "Contact with the ground and convey the situation observed by artillery observers."

Xu Guocai, who had been waiting on the ground for an hour, became nervous when he saw the plane coming.

After a sound came from the headphones, he responded excitedly: "The Yangtze River has been received! The Yellow River has been received!"

Wei Mingyang said to him: "Ask, do you find out if the Japanese artillery positions are there?"

"Yellow River! Yellow River! Looking for the radish land! Looking for the radish land!"

"Yangtze River! Yangtze River! Discover radishes! Discover radishes!"

"Reporting team! The target has been discovered!" Xu Guocai reported.

"Tell them, the action begins! Pay attention to observation!" Wei Mingyang ordered.

Turning back, he ordered Zhang Peiqing: "Fire!"

"Dong!"

The first shell flew towards the target.

Reconnaissance planes cannot hover in the air or circle in the air.

Gao Hongmin just drove a reconnaissance plane and swept through south to north.

The distance between radio communications was only ten kilometers, and the observers in the air saw the shells two thousand meters west of the Japanese artillery position.

Report now.

Feng Xingguo began to call: "Yangtze River! Yangtze River! Two thousand meters west of the target!"

There was no response in the headphones.

He called three times in a row, but there was still no response in the headset.

Only then did I contact you when the plane turned around in the air.

Hearing that he was two thousand meters west, Wei Mingyang immediately ordered Zhang Peiqing to adjust his muzzle.

After the adjustment is completed, load the shells.

Seeing that the plane had gone far away, Xu Guocai began to call: "Yellow River! Yellow River! Yangtze River call!"

There was no response at all.

When the plane flew back again, the two sides contacted and Wei Mingyang ordered again: "Fire the gun!"

"Dong!"

It can be seen clearly on the plane that the second shell exploded three hundred meters eastward and eight hundred meters northward.

I waited until I returned for the third flight and received the landing point of the second shell.

The third shell hit the Japanese artillery position.

I heard that the third shell landed on the northeast side of the Japanese artillery position.

I know that the Japanese artillery positions are in a rectangular layout of 600 meters in the east and south directions and 300 meters in the north and south directions.

After three shells were tested, accurate design parameters have been obtained.

Wei Mingyang immediately ordered the twelve howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment to adjust the firing parameters.

The first test projectile fired by the National Army was too far away from the Japanese mountain artillery position, and the Japanese in the second registrar of Abe did not pay attention to it.

But they found four national army planes passing by.

The entire 11th Infantry Division of the Japanese discovered the Chinese military aircraft in the air.

As long as the planes do not attack, they did not pay much attention to it.

These planes flew around high altitude, like provocation.

This made the commander of Shan Baochong Martial Arts Division a little happy. He saw that the plane had already flown past his position for the fourth time.
Chapter completed!
