"We only have one brigade of more than 5,000 people in Datong."

This is what Adjutant Yan Baichuan said.

"Five thousand people? How many troops can we draw from other places now?"

Yan Baichuan asked after walking around the room.

"If it is a regular army, we can draw 12,000 from other places.

If we add the security team, we can draw more than 20,000 people!”

"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, more than twenty thousand, five thousand people! That is to say, we can draw nearly 40,000 people! Very good! Go down immediately to convey my orders and gather these troops together. We must stop them in Datong!"

Yan Baichuan looked at his adjutant and said exhausted.

"yes!"

On May 26, 1930, Han Ling led more than 40,000 troops to the city of Datong.

Now there are only garrison troops with more than 5,000 people in Datong City, plus 12,000 regular troops drawn by Yan Baichuan.

As for the more than 20,000 security forces, they are still gathering or on the way.

After all, their qualities cannot keep up with the regular army. The speed is naturally much slower.

"Commander! Now we have found out the information in Datong City. There are only 17,000 people in it for the time being, but there are security forces behind them.

The person who spoke was Han Ling’s major counsel Huang Klin.

Needless to say, Huang Klin is naturally a cloned soldier.

"Tenry,700 people? How many of their follow-up security forces are there?"

Han Ling asked, putting down the telescope.

"There are about 24,000 people. They are all security groups drawn by Yan Baichuan from various places."

"The security team drawn from various places? Yan Baichuan transferred more than 20,000 people at one time, which means that his place was transferred to nothing! It seems that Yan Baichuan has no choice but to do anything. The front was dragged by Jiang, and the rear was empty!"

A curve appeared on the corner of Han Ling's mouth. The degree of emptiness behind Yan Baichuan was beyond his imagination.

It seems that my plan may be changed. But don’t worry, unless you have more than 100,000 troops now, you may be able to get a discount by others.

"Order the troops to rest for one night, and the heavy artillery regiment will be the first to launch an attack tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

The rising sun in May is very beautiful.

The environment of this era is not as bad as that of later generations.

The morning sun is very beautiful.

After eating a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns brought by the orderly, Han Ling picked up the telescope and looked at Datong.

Datong is not a strong city. On the contrary, Datong's walls are not good.

Over the years, Guisui and Shanxi have almost been under the rule of Lao Yan.

Datong also changed from a border city to a city in the mainland.

Naturally, the city walls will not be repaired like other cities.

I raised my wrist and looked at the time, at 6:20.

"Ten minutes left!"

Han Ling murmured to himself.

According to the original plan, the heavy artillery regiment will fire at 6:30 in the morning.

Turn around and look back.

The detection balloon has been released.

When the artillery is fired, they will record based on the landing location of the shell.

If the data is wrong and the drop point is wrong, they will immediately provide parameters to the artillery troops below for modification.

At six thirty, with the ordering soldiers firing.

More than thirty 105 caliber howitzers and cannons, plus five or six 120mm howitzers, immediately began to fire.

At this moment, dozens of artillery shells began to fly towards the outside of Datong's city.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The explosions of artillery shells began to sound on the positions of the Jinsui Army.

"Howitzer data is corrected, angle 16, orientation 027, ready to be launched!"

"Bang"

The first shot can be considered a test shot, and from the second shot, both howitzers and cannons can be said to be real shelling.

In the following time, countless artillery shells began to land on the positions of the Jinsui Army.

The Jinsui army hiding in the trenches could only watch themselves and others get bombed.

As for anti-cannon holes, I guess this thing is not something that their army can know.

Whether it was Yan Baichuan or Chairman, they didn't have many artillery soldiers.

The caliber of the cannon is not large, and it is already very good to have a mountain cannon of 75 mm.

As for the 105 caliber!

Haha! Western countries at that time would not sell them to China, and maybe Germany would sell them in a few years.

But now, it won't.

Therefore, they don’t know the anti-cannon hole.

The soldiers below did not consider this when digging the trenches.

Now they feel very scared when facing artillery above 105 caliber.

In terms of lethality to soldiers, howitzers are stronger than cannons.

But it depends on the destructive power of the position fortifications.

Cannons are even stronger.

"Haha! Not bad! Order the firepower of the heavy artillery regiment, and Liu Klong's infantry regiment began to charge, striving to take over the outside of Datong's city position in the first round!"

In order to save shells, it is also because logistics supply is not very convenient.

So Han Ling issued an order to launch a charge half an hour after the shelling.

"This is a heavy artillery of 105 caliber or above! Where did the Pingyuan Army get these heavy artillery? Even we can't get these things!"

Qin Shaoguan, the new security commander of Datong, stood on the city gate tower and watched the shelling attacks on the positions outside the city with a telescope.

I couldn't help but be stunned. The power of this cannon is definitely not something that a 75mm field cannon can have.

This is much more powerful than the seven-five-mm field cannon.

This is obviously only the 105 caliber or above can have such power.

"Commander, what should we do now? They actually have heavy artillery, which is probably a big blow to our morale!"

Deputy Commander Liu Zhuoqing next to him asked worriedly.

"We transferred the troops up, and we only placed one regiment of more than 2,000 people in the position outside the city. I originally thought this regiment could be their two days.

Now it seems that it will not work. After this shelling, we will suffer a lot of casualties. In addition, the morale problem will be a problem. I am afraid that it will collapse soon, so I will be transferred to Fan Gengcan's second brigade and the second regiment."

"Okay! I'll send the order right away!"

After Liu Zhuoqing left, Qin Shaoguan continued to look ahead with the telescope.
Chapter completed!
