Although in addition to reinforcing a heavy artillery wing for the Eastern Support Detachment, as soon as two of the three heavy artillery wings attached to the Sixth Division fired their counter-artillery fire, they were desperately suppressed by the 122-mm rocket artillery with a maximum range of 20 kilometers directly under the Military Region assigned to the First Column, and soon died down. 【. netbsp; Except for the occasional remnant of a few guns that occasionally fired one or two counter-attack shells, most of the heavy artillery was either being moved by the scrambling artillery or was reduced to parts along with the artillery, but the relatively light mountain artillery of the divisions and regiments and the various wings that survived the artillery coverage was of a relatively high standard.

It's just that the artillery of the 6th Division is very embarrassed to see that although the lethality power of its own 120-mm howitzer is very great, this kind of old artillery with a maximum range of only more than 5,000 meters is really no match for the opponent's 100-mm howitzer and 105 field artillery in terms of range.

As for the Sixth Division, which mainly came from poor southern Kyushu, although it was strong in combat, it could not find a strong person to take care of it in the middle and upper echelons of the Japanese Sixth Army, which was full of nepotism and hated the poor and loved the rich.

Although the Sixth Division, which had no one to take care of, repeatedly acted as the vanguard and took the lead in the Japanese army's various invasions of China because of its strong combat effectiveness, in terms of the replacement of weapons and equipment, compared with other standing divisions and regiments, not only could it not be compared with the First Division and the Second Division of the Brave Division, but even compared with other standing divisions of the Japanese army, it was always one beat slower.

Even the soft-footed crab recognized by the 6th Army of the Fourth Division was much stronger than the 6th Division when it came to changing its outfit because of the fact that there was a prince who had been the chief of staff for many years, and the artillery wing of the 4th Division had already been reequipped with the 91-type 105 field gun and the Taisho 14-year 105 cannon.

Originally, when the Sixth Division was transferred to Manchuria, it was already told that it was going to be equipped with the latest Type 99 105 mountain artillery, but as a result, it received the Type 38 120 mm howitzer that had already been eliminated by ordinary divisions and regiments, which was cumbersome and heavy, with a firing range of only more than 5,000 meters, and no one wanted to ask for it.

Although the base camp reequipped two of the four artillery brigades belonging to the artillery wing of the Sixth Division with 120 mm howitzers in one go, this kind of refitting made the whole of the Sixth Division even more dissatisfied.

Although the commander of the Sixth Division lodged a protest, the base camp replied: "The production of new artillery is slow, and priority should be given to ensuring the use of combat divisions and regiments on the main fronts, and the Sixth Division is now transferred to Manchuria for rest and recuperation, and there is no need to participate in large-scale combat operations for the time being, so the new artillery cannot be reequipped with the Sixth Division for the time being."

"As for the use of these artillery guns now, when the production of new artillery reaches a sufficient number, it is not too late to reequip the sixth division, although the range of these 120 mm howitzers is shorter, but it is much more powerful than the 75 mountain artillery, the sixth division is temporarily equipped, if there is a need before the rearmament, the base camp will be equipped with new artillery!"

Since being transferred to Manchuria for recuperation, division commander Machijiri Liangji has seen that the 5th, 10th, and 14th Divisions, which have also been transferred, have all begun to be equipped with new Type 99 105 mountain artillery and Type 90 and 95 field artillery, and the Sixth Division is still equipped with Type 94 mountain artillery and the old 38 field artillery.

Before the start of the war, the officers and men of the Sixth Division watched successive defeats, and even the division commander was lost, and the Fourth Division, which had lost all the artillery that had been reequipped before, once again gave priority to replenishing the new Type 90 field artillery, Type 99 heavy mountain artillery, and Type 91 105 field artillery, and the new Type 96 light machine gun, and then transferred to the China Dispatch Army and transferred out of the northeast, but it only continued to use this old antique.

After an artillery battle, the 12 120-mm howitzers of a brigade, despite all their best efforts and all their might, had a firing range of less than 6,000 meters, but they were never able to suppress the opponent's artillery deployed in depth far beyond their own, but suffered heavy losses in the fire.

The artillery battle was only half carried out, and these artillery, which was originally used to suppress the opponent's artillery, could only be converted to support the infantry operation, and the original suppression task was handed over to the fifteen Taisho four-year 150 howitzers of the 10th Wing of the ** Field Heavy Artillery that survived the opponent's artillery coverage.

On the contrary, the improved field artillery of the two brigades equipped with the 6th Division showed a very good hand, but the number was not large, and when covering the remnants of the 45th Wing and the counter-charge of the combat vehicles, they fought a wonderful artillery battle with the artillery of the brigade of the 1st column.

From 4 a.m. onwards, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army concentrated all the surviving artillery and the only remaining artillery shells at hand, and counterattacked under cover, and at 7 a.m., in order to stabilize its position and cover the regrouping of infantry and chariot units, in just three hours, the artillery of the 6th Division, which had fought so hard, consumed tens of thousands of shells on the Yilan and Boli lines.

In addition, a large number of artillery deployed by Yang Zhen on the Western Front covered the first positions of the Japanese Sixth Division and the 14th Division and carried out covering fire for an hour and a half in depth, as well as the artillery bombardment of two Japanese divisions and regiments to return fire.

In less than seven hours of fighting, the two sides went back and forth, and together with you, not counting the small-caliber infantry artillery, artillery artillery, and mortar shells, at least 100,000 shells of caliber or more than 75 mm were consumed, and the entire area of confrontation between the two armies, especially in the mountainous areas south of Yilan, the main combat direction of the Sixth Division, dropped an average of more than 30 bombs per square kilometer.

This artillery battle, which lasted until the sky was completely bright, consumed 70 percent of the artillery shells that Yang Zhen concentrated on the various units on the Western Front, and the artillery of the two divisions of the Japanese army, which had been destroyed by the enemy's surprise artillery fire, not only ran out of shells of more than 75 mm caliber, but even the Type 92 infantry shells and mortar shells of various calibers were exhausted.

At dawn, in the territory of Yilan, the main source of this artillery battle, the commanders of both sides, whether Wang Guangyu or Machijiri Liangji, coincidentally did one thing, that is, the rear applied for artillery shells, and the more the better, the number was also added.

On the flanks of the Sixth Division, an infantry brigade of the puppet Manchurian army and a cavalry brigade served as reconnaissance and vigilance, and they saw this fierce artillery battle that was enough to move people's hearts and make people frightened.

Especially after seeing the piles of human parts on the positions of the Japanese army, which they saw as invincible and powerful friendly forces covered by artillery fire, and I am afraid that they could no longer put together, the puppet Manchu troops who were frightened in the face of the attack in the face of the attack, under the leadership of a major general and a brigade chief of staff, did not hesitate to kill or tie up the Japanese officers in the unit, and surrendered without firing a shot.

These two brigades were stuck in the 6th Division's westward march to reinforce the 10th Division, after all, the surrender of the puppet Manchu army did not matter, but it cut off the only way for the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was in a bitter battle with Li Mingfeng's troops on the front line of Boli Daqingshan, to withdraw westward.

He Zhishan, deputy commander of the Fifth Brigade, who commanded the Fifth Brigade and One Regiment to launch an assault on the flank of the Sixth Division, did not care about these puppet Manchu troops, which numbered more than 4,000 people, and left only one company to disarm the puppet Manchurian brigades of the two brigades, designate a assembly area, and let them drive to the rear to find people to surrender, and then turn around and pounce on the flank of the Sixth Division.

The two puppet Manchu armies surrendered without a fight, the right flank of the entire Sixth Division was completely opened, and suffered heavy losses in the shelling, and a reinforced wing was entangled by Li Mingfeng on the way to the west, and it was impossible to advance or retreat, while the troops transferred by the 14th Division had not yet been able to completely take over the defense, not to mention, under the situation that the main force could not protect itself, only two infantry brigades were left, and the rest all retreated to the territory of Fangzheng.

After receiving a report that the flank Manchuria ** had mutinied, and his right flank defense line had been completely opened, even if Machijiri Liangji, who had no troops at hand, was reluctant, he could only draw two infantry squadrons from the front, plus the divisional guard squadron and the two and a half squadrons at hand as a reserve at hand, all of which were put into the flanks.

After the only reserve in his hand was dispatched, in order to ensure that he had a reserve on hand that could respond to emergencies, Machijiri Liangji based on the officers of the division and regimental headquarters, plus the horsemen of the division and regimental headquarters, the artillerymen who ran out of shells, and even his own adjutants were sent out.

There was only one and a half wings left, and although the resistance was still fierce, it gradually drained its own blood under the situation of supporting the left and the right, especially in the repeated battles, and by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it had gradually shown its decline, and although the air force that had been urgently transferred by Hatada Shigeichi wanted to support as much as possible, the two armies on the ground were too tightly entangled.

The helpless Japanese air force, although it dispatched a rare large formation, could only bomb Yang Zhen's headquarters in depth, and played a limited role in the front-line battle, only cutting off the logistics supply of the front-line troops.

Among the four chariot wings assigned to him, the fifth chariot wing was assigned to the 13th chariot wing to the 10th division of the east, but it was entangled in the Daqingshan line and could not return at all.

At the front of the assembly area, the 4th Wing of the Tank, which was within the best range of the opponent's heavy artillery, was crippled under the enemy's firepower, and he could only pin all his hopes on the 10th Wing of the Tank, which barely maintained the completion, and the 9th Wing, which still had more than 10 tanks left, and together, the remaining 2 Tank Wing, which had less than 60 vehicles in the total number of tanks.

Although Lieutenant General Machijiri devoted all the forces of the 43rd Wing to the counterattack, and threw into it all the men who could pick up guns in the Engineer Wing, even the remaining 100 people of the Baggage Wing, which suffered the heaviest losses in the shelling, together with the divisional cremation squad, were thrown into the attack.

Although Machijiri knew that the 6th Division, which had basically been exhausted by the active forces of the 6th Division, was now unable to restore its original position with the existing strength until the troops from the east returned, and it was fortunate that it could barely maintain the existing defensive line.

But he also understood that if the Sixth Division, which had run out of shells and lost all its heavy weapons support, stopped its counterattack, it could only be pressed more and more tightly by the opponent after dark, and if it lost its room for maneuver, the Sixth Division would have to sit back and wait for death.

When the enemy's air force stops its activities after dark, the heavy artillery that has inflicted heavy losses on itself in the early morning will certainly become active again, and there will be no room for maneuver and heavy fire support.

Fighting against the opponent can delay the deterioration of the battle situation and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements, and secondly, it is also the only effective way to avoid the enemy's artillery fire at present, so even if he is reluctant, Machijiri can only continue the battle.
