The two artillery commanders heard this. 【. After pondering carefully for a while, and after discussing with each other for a while, he said: "In this way, we will equip each of the two regiments with the best mountain artillery company, and carry seventy percent of the artillery shells on hand with them to penetrate into the depth of the Japanese army. In this way, interspersed troops made it possible to reduce the need for rear firepower. ”

In addition, the field artillery battalion, which had a large number of shells left, was equipped with nine 105 field guns to form three artillery groups as the main long-range firepower to carry out fire strikes on the depth of the Japanese army. At the same time, a suppression artillery group was formed with 100 and 105 mm field howitzers, mainly against Japanese armor and artillery. ”

"At the request of the front, these guns will cover a small area of fire on the targets proposed by the observers in front of them. However, we can't afford barrage shooting now, and we can only carry out fixed-point strikes from small artillery groups. Brigade commander, you still need to request artillery fire support from the column. ”

For the construction of the two regiment commanders, Mu Changqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Just do what you say, Lao Tzu immediately reported to the commander and asked for artillery support from the column." But you have to be careful, although the little devil didn't hit this shell during the day, maybe he was playing some kind of cats. Pay attention to me, don't run out of artillery for me at once. ”

After explaining to the two artillery commanders, Mu Changqiu turned his head and said to the two infantry commanders: "It's eight o'clock in the evening, give you two hours to adjust your deployment, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the whole line will start a counterattack." And take out all the flares, we don't have more than a day. ”

Regarding Mu Changqiu's request for artillery support, Wang Guangyu agreed without saying a word. And according to the deployment reported by Mu Changqiu, the deployment of artillery was adjusted in the shortest possible time. In addition to readjusting the artillery deployment according to the needs of the 1st Brigade, he also directly transferred the 107th Rocket Artillery Regiment directly under the column to two battalions of the 1st Brigade and one battalion of the 155th Howitzer.

In addition, a direct field telephone line was erected between the artillery of the 1st brigade and the artillery groups directly under the column and the artillery of the military region, and not every artillery group was equipped with a two-watt walkie-talkie, so that the column, the military region, and the artillery of the 1st brigade were quickly formed into a complete firepower network under the unified command of Wu Ting, the commander of the column and the deputy commander of the artillery of the column commander who rushed to the headquarters of the 1st brigade.

After receiving the target instructions of the 1st Brigade, each artillery group carried out fire suppression on each Japanese stronghold as needed. At Mu Changqiu's request, before the attack of the 1st Brigade and after the fire was covered, 500 incendiary bombs were fired at the depth of the Japanese army with column artillery to provide assistance for the attack of the 1st Brigade and solve the problem of insufficient number of flares in the 1st Brigade.

Although the number of shells in the inventory of the column artillery is really not much, especially the 122 rocket shells with the longest range and the most lethal power are less than 300 left, which is not enough to shoot a salvo. However, in order to support the 1st Brigade in the operation, Wang Guangyu still issued an order not to spare the shells.

During the day, the offensive was fierce, and with the support of tanks, the 6th Division not only blocked the offensive of the 1st Brigade, but also forced the 1st Brigade to go on the defensive. But after dark, the Sixth Division, which had no stamina, had no choice but to stop all operations and honestly switch to the defense on the spot.

Before the 1st Brigade attacked, the gunfire that had been ringing all day since the early hours of the morning suddenly subsided, and the entire southern part of Ylan showed a rare tranquility. Mu Changqiu was nervously adjusting his deployment and preparing for the final attack. For the Sixth Division, it was really immovable at this time. Tian is licking his wounds, trying to find a way to replenish his strength.

In fact, after a day of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Sixth Division were much higher than Mu Changqiu's estimate. At present, there is still a lot of artillery left in the entire Sixth Division, but after a fierce artillery battle in the early morning, there are only more than 100 artillery shells left in the entire division.

The reserves in depth were mostly destroyed under the stormy blows of the opponent in the early morning. The remaining bit has already consumed the embers in the daytime battle. In order to ensure his depth and room for maneuver, Machijiri Liangji fought against his opponent for a day, which can be said to be fundamentally injured.

Even with the protection troops on both flanks, as well as a few squadrons attached to the 14th Division, and the artillery that ran out of shells, the strength of the 6th Division that could still hold guns was only a little more than 4,000 at the moment. This still counts those who are lightly injured and cannot get out of the line of fire.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how capable he is, no matter how capable he is, he is almost helpless in the face of the current situation. Several telegrams were sent to the eastward troops urging them to return to reinforcements quickly, but a reinforced wing of the eastward advance did everything they could, but they could not get rid of the entanglement of the opponent. After a day of hard fighting, let alone returning help, even it is difficult to protect itself.

In the face of the life-and-death entanglement of tens of thousands of opponents, the eastward advance detachment suffered heavy casualties and huge equipment losses. An entire chariot wing was ambushed by the opponent's accurate and ferocious fire when the eastward detachment was about to cooperate with the attack. A whole tank wing, not a single shot was fired, and all losses were in the assembly area.

And the heavy artillery wing is fighting for an inexplicable disappearance. Even the artillery and equipment were all increased, and no matter how the commander of the 13th Wing, Tsuboshima Fumihei Daisa, who led the team to the east for reinforcements, searched, he could never find it.

As soon as the battle began, the eastward detachment, which had lost more than half of its heavy firepower and all its tanks, could only helplessly rely on the existing firepower to fight the opponent. In the case of the absolute disadvantage of the troops, although the ferocity is still the same, it has not been able to reverse the passive situation.

It is not that the Taipei Shojima Fumihei Daisa, who is in charge of commanding the eastward detachment, is not doing his best, and still less that the officers and men of the eastward detachment are not working hard. It was only after receiving the telegram from the division commander that he immediately returned for reinforcements, but Fumio Taisa, who immediately wanted to shrink the troops and retreat, appeared, and after most of the fierce fighting for most of the day, his troops were already entangled with the opponent. Not to mention gathering troops, it is very difficult for their various units to fight with each other.

The eastward advance troops, which accounted for nearly half of the strength of the Sixth Division, could not be withdrawn, and most of the living forces at hand were exhausted. Even if the helpless Machijiri Liangji knew that if he stopped fighting back now, the current shape would probably be even more disadvantageous to him. But he had little troops left, and he could only terminate the operation after nightfall. After moving to the defense on the spot, he sent a telegram to Shigeichi Habata asking for help.

Machijiri knew that his opponent would not give up on his weak self, and he was afraid that he was already mobilizing his troops to prepare for a fatal blow to himself. Now he regrets the most why he turned the tide of the battle several times in order to maintain the glorious tradition of the Sixth Division's so-called fighting in the interior of China, fighting alone several times. It took a day to go without calling for help.

Now that the number of troops at hand is already insufficient, Machijiri finally understands the meaning of the Chinese proverb that you want to save face and suffer sin. At the end of the day, when the casualty figures were counted, they lost half of their troops in the face of the early morning shelling. Except for a small number of infantry guns, almost all of the shells are exhausted, and Machijiri is eager to give himself a few big mouths.

I'm home. Even if you can't save face and don't ask for reinforcements, you should always apply for some artillery shells. Even if the artillery shells stored on the front line in the previous stage were lost, in order to ensure the success of this campaign, the Kwantung Army also stockpiled a large amount of military supplies, especially ammunition, in the rear of Weihe and Muling.

In order to ensure the front-line transportation, two automobile wings with thousands of cars were specially dispatched. If you open your mouth, under the condition that there is air cover during the day, at least your own artillery can get enough shells, why should you sing any empty city plan here. Converting toothless artillery into infantry is a huge 1 ang fee.

At present, the eastward detachment is entangled by the opponent, and it is in a situation where it is impossible to advance or retreat, and it is difficult to protect itself. The connection between the Western Front and the 14th Division was completely severed by the adversary with a strong force. In fact, Machijiri understood that the current main force of the Sixth Division was already in an out-and-out isolated situation.

Now the 6th Division is facing the 1st of the 1st Division, either to get rid of the entanglement with the opponent, or to go all out to the east to join the 13th Wing. The first is to move west and move closer to the 14th Division regardless of a single thing. Either the entire line will be withdrawn southward and the southern part of Yilan will be abandoned. But all three options undoubtedly require the approval of the army commander.

In fact, for Machijiri Liangji, from the bottom of his heart, he still wanted to retreat south. Because as a lieutenant general and division commander, it is really undignified to rely on the 14th Division, which is tantamount to seeking refuge from someone's house. To the east, I am afraid that the opponent has already taken precautions.

For Machijiri Liangji, the only way to retreat south to the territory of the Reed River and move closer to the 29th Division, which had been moved to the front line of Muling, to form a new line of defense was the best choice.

And it was precisely this choice that he did not dare to do without the approval of the military command. Because this choice is undoubtedly to abandon the eastward advance detachment that is in the midst of a bitter battle, not to mention, it is also tantamount to exposing the right flank of the 14th Division to the opponent.

Knowing that the reality was not optimistic about him, Machijiri Liangji didn't care about maintaining the glorious tradition of the Sixth Division being good at fighting alone. If we don't ask for help, let alone maintain the current front, it's hard to say whether the 6th Division will be able to see the moon tomorrow night. At 9 o'clock in the evening, he sent a long telegram to the commander of the Fifth Army, Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hatada, asking for help, in which he was so anxious that he could not find any fig leaf at this time, Machijiri Shikichi directly and clearly told Sù Shigeichi Hatada: "If the Sixth Division is not increased by at least one wing within 12 or 4 hours, the 6th Division, which has little vitality left, will be in danger of collapse on the entire front." Either the 6th Division will be given an additional wing, or the 6th Division will be allowed to abandon its existing positions and withdraw south to the territory of the Reed River to rest and recuperate. ”

Before the anxious Machijiri received a call back from the commander, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the mountainous area south of Yilan, which had been quiet for only a few hours, once again resounded with overwhelming cannon fire and deafening shouts of killing. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing, there are also snow-bright flares that continue to rise, illuminating the night sky in the mountains south of Yilan.
