Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

"Wang Jun's idea is too advanced." After hearing the news that Wang Jun was going to train the Italian troops, Lu Yuyan instantly showed a bitter smile on his face, and that smile was full of helplessness and doubt.

He thought to himself, Wang Jun is such a whimsical guy, does he really think that he can train the Italian army with his own strength alone? To Lu Yuyan, this idea is really absurd, just like a joke, it is simply unbelievable.

After all, is it true that the Italian army is not strong enough to fight? Lu Yuyan has a different view on this. In his eyes, the Italian army is not lacking in the ability to fight in many cases, but just subjectively does not want to fight. Look at their performance on the battlefield later, didn't they also have a brilliant moment of beating the British army into a mess and teaching them a lesson? However, Lu Yuyan just shook his head helplessly at Wang Jun's idea. Since Wang Jun insisted on trying it, he couldn't forcibly stop him. After all, everyone has his own considerations and style of doing things. Maybe Wang Jun can really create a miracle, so let's wait and see.

At the moment, Lu Yuyan himself has more important and urgent matters to deal with, which are the many affairs related to the Annan region. During this period of time, he has been like a patient and far-sighted chess player, carefully laying out in secret, quietly accumulating strength, preparing every link in all aspects, not missing any details, and decisively issuing an order to attack the troops when the most appropriate time comes. The facts also prove his unique and keen strategic vision. Judging from the overall situation presented at present, everything is going smoothly, without encountering any obvious obstacles and risks, but rather reaping quite rich results, which undoubtedly makes him more confident in the subsequent actions.

Because of this, Lu Yuyan's attention shifted and focused on the Guangdong Province. The reason behind this can be traced back to some of the Japanese army's previous actions. Some of the Japanese army's previous actions seemed to be a "gift" offered on their own initiative. Since the Japanese army was so "generous", how could Lu Yuyan easily let go of this opportunity? He naturally had to seize the opportunity and retaliate fiercely. After careful consideration, he finally decided to start with Guangzhou. Through this battle, he wanted to let the Japanese army see the powerful strength that he had painstakingly managed and carefully accumulated for several months, so that they would clearly know that he was not easy to bully, and they had to pay the price for their previous actions.

"We can't always use the old tactics. We need to use new tactics. Only in this way can we make the Japanese more easily complacent." Lu Yuyan solemnly and seriously told his subordinates. He knew clearly that on the battlefield, if we always use the old tactics, the enemy will sooner or later figure out our routines and take precautions. In that case, it will be even more difficult to win the battle. Only by constantly bringing forth new ideas and changing tactics flexibly and cleverly can we confuse the Japanese army and make them fall into confusion, so that they can relax their vigilance. In this way, we can take more initiative in the battle and have a better chance of defeating the enemy.

At this time, Lu Yuyan had already adjusted the production data of each base to the best state. Through reasonable arrangement and deployment, these bases were basically able to achieve uninterrupted production of ammunition, continuously delivering "firepower" to the front line and providing solid material support. In addition, he was very forward-looking and prepared to build a large number of arsenals in advance at key locations where combat needs were needed. They were filled with various types of ammunition, ensuring the ammunition needs of various places on the front line in an all-round and complete manner, so that the soldiers did not have to worry about the embarrassing situation of ammunition shortage when charging into battle, and could fight bravely without any worries and devote themselves to the battle.

Looking at the Japanese side, perhaps they also keenly realized the importance of Guangzhou and realized that this city could not be lost, so they began to mobilize heavy troops from various places and continuously deployed them near Guangzhou, trying to strengthen the defense here, firmly control Guangzhou in their own hands, and ensure that it was foolproof. However, since most of the elite troops needed to be transferred to deal with the war on other fronts, there was a big gap in the troops here, so there was no choice but to temporarily supplement a batch of new soldiers.

Although these recruits have just completed basic training and seem to be quite capable and have acquired certain military qualities, they have never really stepped onto the bloody and cruel battlefield. They lack personal experience and deep understanding of the ever-changing situation, the terrifying life-and-death moments, and the tense and suffocating atmosphere. Therefore, if they want to truly adapt to the battlefield and be able to calmly exert their due combat effectiveness in the hail of bullets, they must go through some real training.

Therefore, the Japanese army decided to carry out strict and systematic training for this group of new recruits, hoping that they could grow up as quickly as possible, improve their combat effectiveness, so that they could be used at critical moments and become a reliable force to protect Guangzhou.

"Get up!" On the wide training ground of the Japanese army, the squadron leader Makino Yasuo shouted loudly, and the loud voice was like a huge bell, echoing over the playground, with unquestionable majesty and commanding tone. After hearing this command, the new recruits in front of them stood up quickly and neatly, with crisp and neat movements, without any dragging. Although they were new recruits, the discipline and obedience cultivated by the strict training on weekdays were fully demonstrated at this moment. After a while, the Japanese squadron neatly stood in line on the playground. The soldiers stood upright, with serious expressions, and their eyes were all fixed on the front, waiting for the follow-up training instructions. The whole scene looked orderly and full of a serious and tense military training atmosphere, as if everything was going smoothly step by step.

"Get ready..." Captain Makino Yasuo was about to shout out the next command, but suddenly he seemed to realize something was wrong. He raised his head abruptly and looked quickly towards the sky. At this moment, a low sound like thunder and a sharp whistling sound came from the sky from far away. The sound became louder and louder, more and more harsh, as if the god of death was waving a scythe and approaching them rapidly. It made people feel creepy and an ominous premonition instantly came to their hearts.

"Artillery fire!" Makino Yasuo's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice revealing an undisguised fear. He knew very well what this sudden sound meant. It must be an enemy artillery attack. Judging from the sound, the enemy was not friendly. The power of this artillery fire should not be underestimated.

After hearing this shout, most of the recruits immediately followed the instinctive reaction they had developed during daily training and quickly chose to lie down, trying to use the ground to avoid the possible danger. But what they never expected was that the artillery attack this time was not ordinary artillery fire, but a large-caliber heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters. The power was enormous, like the mouth of a demon from hell. Once it opened, it would release destructive power, and wherever it went, it would be a mess.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening noise that seemed to shake the entire earth, a huge bomb crater instantly appeared on the playground. Dust and rubble were blown everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. A squadron of devils who had just been standing there in an orderly manner disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a dozen Japanese soldiers. Some of them were blown to pieces, with blood gushing out like a fountain. Others were injured in multiple parts of their bodies, with painful expressions on their faces, lying on the playground wailing miserably. The sound echoed in the playground, making people shudder and feel creepy, as if they were in purgatory on earth.

When the Japanese soldiers from other squadrons saw this tragic scene, they were so frightened that they no longer cared about discipline and formation. They began to run around in panic, thinking only that the next shell would not fall on their heads. Their panicked appearance was a far cry from the orderly training before. The entire training ground instantly fell into chaos and panic, with shouts and cries intertwined as if doomsday had come, which made people terrified.

At the same time, the Japanese army's training grounds in other places did not escape this disaster. The roar of artillery shells falling to the ground began to be heard one after another. Those loud noises were like the death knell of the god of death, hitting the hearts of the Japanese soldiers again and again, and the entire Japanese army's training area was shrouded in an atmosphere of smoke and fear.

All this did not happen by chance. In the past few months, Lu Yuyan was not idle. He carefully planned and arranged the intelligence personnel who infiltrated and played a huge role. These intelligence personnel, with extraordinary courage and wisdom, used various covert methods to understand the layout of the Japanese army's barracks, daily training arrangements, and troop deployment. It was precisely with such detailed and accurate intelligence that the artillery shells were bombarded so accurately on the Japanese army, catching them off guard and instantly plunging them into such an embarrassing, chaotic and panic situation.

The main force position of the security regiment is about 30 kilometers away from Yangcheng, which happens to be within the range of their heavy artillery. However, due to the relatively long distance, the accuracy of the artillery fire will be affected to a certain extent, and it is impossible to achieve 100% accuracy.

But even so, the huge deterrent effect brought by the heavy artillery firing was really not small. The deafening roar and the dust raised by the explosion scared many Japanese soldiers. They were all terrified, as if the end of the world was coming. They were a little panicked for a while and didn't know how to deal with this sudden attack. After all, although they knew that the other side had large-caliber heavy artillery, they never thought that the other side would directly fire artillery shells to Yangcheng. This was indeed beyond their expectations, which caught them off guard and put them in a passive situation.

"It's a pity that the Japanese have become cunning and the headquarters has to keep moving. Otherwise, if we bombarded them with one shot, the damage would have been huge." Zhou Weiguo, who was in charge of command at the front line, said with a look of regret.

"Commander, are you still not satisfied? Just because of our bombing, the devils lost at least one battalion." Xu Hu on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, we can't be too greedy." Zhou Weiguo also laughed. He also felt that he was a little too greedy. The bombing result was already very good.

"Boom boom!" The loud noises kept echoing in Yangcheng. After the Japanese came, most of the people in Yangcheng ran away. Especially because of the policies implemented by the Japanese army later, even if they did not run away, they would be driven away.

Because of this, there is basically no great pressure in bombing now, because there is no need to consider factors such as residential areas.

Of course, some special buildings and residential areas were also avoided. The main target was still the Japanese strongholds provided by the intelligence. These strongholds were destroyed to provide support for the subsequent attack.

Moreover, in this era, when there is no threat from the air force, the giant cannon is the king of land warfare. The effect of a giant cannon is really too great, especially in front of the giant cannon, those mountain cannons, infantry cannons, etc., can only passively take the beating and have no ability to fight back at all.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many successful cases of similar surprise attack tactics.

During the Battle of Shanghai, a suicide squad of the Chinese army took advantage of the cover of night and fog, carrying light artillery and secretly lurked near a temporary Japanese airport.

They learned in advance through intelligence that the Japanese aircraft's protection was lax at night, and that many fighter planes had just refueled and refilled with ammunition in preparation for a large-scale air raid the next day.

The suicide squad took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and suddenly launched an artillery attack, destroying several Japanese fighter planes in one fell swoop, disrupting the Japanese air raid deployment, buying precious adjustment time for their own troops and greatly boosting morale.

In that war-torn era, the giant cannon was undoubtedly the master on the battlefield.

Although the Security Corps’ cannon at this moment is not as amazing as Gustav’s, the shells with a caliber of more than 200 mm can still make the Japanese army tremble with fear.

Every bombardment was like the wrath of thunder, shaking the earth and mountains. Wherever the shells hit, earth and rocks flew, buildings collapsed, and the Japanese army's carefully constructed fortifications turned into ruins in an instant.

This powerful firepower strike not only caused substantial casualties and material losses to the Japanese army, but also psychologically shocked the enemy, making the Japanese army aware of the strength of the opponent and that it should not be underestimated, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent all-out offensive.

After the bombing, the Japanese army quickly adjusted its deployment. On the one hand, they urgently dispatched reinforcements from surrounding areas to strengthen the defense of Guangzhou. Not only did they send more infantry troops, but they also moved the artillery, engineers and other technical arms originally deployed in the rear to the front line in an attempt to fill the gaps in the defense line. On the other hand, the Japanese army strengthened its control over intelligence, frantically searching for infiltrators, trying to cut off the security group's intelligence sources and prevent similar precision strikes from happening again.
