At this moment, what Shigeichi Harata is most anxious to know is not only how the Sixth Division should be rescued. 【. com text] but how many troops and how much equipment the opponent has. From the 14th Division, which was square in the westernmost part of the entire front, to Mishan, which blocked the 8th Division's all-out westward support, there were opponents everywhere in Baoqing.

Several divisions and regiments reported the enemy troops around their divisions and in front of them, at least more than 20,000. The estimates reported by the 6th and 14th Divisions for the number of enemy troops were between 30,000 and 40,000. Taken together, there are more than 100,000 troops.

As for the equipment, the figures are even more different from the pre-war estimates. According to the report of the Sixth Division yesterday, there were more than 200 artillery pieces of caliber of more than 75 mm deployed by the opponent in front of them. Among them, there were also a number of heavy guns of more than 150 mm caliber. At the same time, a similar situation was reported by the 14th Division of the Western Front.

Before the war, he received information that the total strength of the opponent was only 70,000, and there were only more than 100 artillery pieces of 75 mm caliber or more. What the hell, they suddenly had so many more troops from there, and so many artillery? These soldiers and equipment can't come out of the ground overnight, can they?

If these are true, then they have actually deceived all the intelligence departments of the Kwantung Army, which have always claimed to be powerful and omnipotent, and they have deceived them solidly. How did they manage to hide it for so long? All the pre-war judgments were wrong, and none of the information was correct, so how could this next battle be fought?

Originally, Harata Shigeichi thought that even if the opponent concentrated superior forces and equipment to attack the Sixth Division, even if the Sixth Division was transferred one wing of chariots and one and a half wings of heavy artillery, relying on its usual fierce and tenacious fighting style, and the remaining three chariot wings of hundreds of chariots and more than 100 heavy artillery, even if they could not inflict heavy damage on the opponent, they would still have no problem in repelling the opponent's attack and protecting themselves.

During the Battle of Wuhan the year before last, the Hakuda Shigeichi and the Sixth Division, who had fought in coordination with the Sixth Division, fought alone on the north bank of the Yangtze River with the strength of one division at that time. In the face of more than a dozen divisions of the Zhina Army, instead of falling behind, it was a fierce style of attacking the city and taking the lead in smashing the gate of Wuhan.

After learning that the Sixth Division was transferred to the Fifth Army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Confrontation Alliance. He immediately put the Sixth Division in the most critical position, and even strengthened eighty percent of the heavy artillery and combat vehicles on hand to the Sixth Division. I just hope that they can create another miracle of the Battle of Wuhan.

I thought that this Sixth Division, which I had high hopes for, was actually defeated in the first round of battles, and was almost almost wiped out.

Under the situation that the enemy situation is unclear and he does not know how many troops the opponent has been hiding in the shadows and have not shown up, Harata Shigeichi does not even know what kind of situation he will encounter with the 29th Division that he transferred in order to rescue the 6th Division, and whether he will encounter the 6th Division's eastward detachment......

In order to avoid a repeat of the mistakes of the only reserve of the Fifth Army at the moment. After hesitating for a long time, Shigeichi Hauda still gave the order to the 29th Division to terminate the rescue. He turned his head and ordered the 8th Division, which was on the attack, to stop its westward advance and move to the defense on the spot. He should think carefully about what to do next. As for the rescue of the 6th and 10th Divisions, let's wait until dawn and the results of the aviation reconnaissance will come back.

It's just that what made him even more troubled was that Major General Tasaka, the chief of staff of the army who was sent by him to inspect the Sixth Division, lost a continuous flow after receiving a telegram that arrived safely. And for Shigeichi Hatada, Major General Tanaka lost contact, and that wasn't the only bad news he received tonight.

At the same time that Major General Tanaka lost contact, the headquarters of the 6th and 12th divisions also lost contact one after another. No matter how desperately the communications corps of the army headquarters called, only the rustle of electricity was heard on the radio. The two divisions and regimental headquarters never received any reply.

All contact with the two divisions was severed, casting a heavy shadow over Harata Shigeichi's heart. It was only more than four days before the battle began on the eastern front, and less than two days on the western front, when he lost two divisions and four more companies. How to fight the next battle plan?

And Shigeichi Hata, who was anxious to get the real battle situation on the front, especially the real situation of the 6th and 12th divisions, finally stayed up in depression until the sky was just bright, and the visibility was barely enough for the plane to take off, but he suffered a more severe blow. This blow was simply harsher than the blow that his opponent brought him. Because it suddenly began to rain in the sky, and the rain was not small.

The most rainfall in the Yilan area on the western front is light rain, but the first heavy rain since the beginning of spring fell on the Muling and Mishan areas on the eastern front, and even the Mudanjiang and Ning'an lines. The pouring rain that fell from the sky forced all the air units at the Yimuling Bamiantong Airport and the Langang Airport in Ning'an to suspend their operations. Not to mention ground support, it is impossible to even take off for reconnaissance.

Unless the aviation of the 6th Army braved the cost of destroying the plane and killing its plane at the cost of sinking into the soft runway of the airport drenched by heavy rain, or being hit by lightning in the dense cumulonimbus clouds in the sky. But this is absolutely impossible for the aviation units of the 6 th Army, which have always regarded pilots as their most valuable asset.

Aerial reconnaissance was limited by the weather. As for the reconnaissance on the ground, after receiving the order of the Fifth Army, the 14th Division sent out small units several times to try to get in touch with the 6th Division, but they were all meat buns and dogs and never returned. Not to mention the information that came back, even if there was no one who came back to report the news.

Shigeichi Hata, who had almost lost a source of intelligence, became blind in a short period of time. The only source of information he had for the 6th Division's resistance was that the right flank of the 14th Division to the west could still be heard in the mountains south of Yilan.

The 6th Division, which had some sources in relation to it, was forcibly divided by the opponent and the 8th Division on the right flank, and was encircled. It was also the first round of beatings, and the 10th Division, which was crippled early, was missing a full infantry wing, and the situation was even worse.

In addition to receiving a letter from Lieutenant General Jiro Togawa, commander of the 10th Division, at midnight yesterday, the 10th Division was still stubbornly resisting, and the officers and men of the entire division, with great loyalty to the Emperor and the Empire, were still fighting bloody battles against the enemy forces with superior equipment. However, the 10th Division, whose reserves were almost completely destroyed, was now running out of ammunition and food. After the telegram that the whole division and regiment had prepared for the jade crushing, there was no news.

The continuous deterioration of the battle situation and the successive blows made Shigeichi Hata feel miserable. After hesitating for a whole day, he still decided to change the original plan of reinforcing the Sixth Division from one wing, and mobilized the two wings of the 29th Division of the General Reserve for this attack and the two wings currently deployed in the Muling area, as well as the only ** field artillery wing and ** 10th Mortar Brigade for mobile warfare, all to move westward and immediately reinforce the Sixth Division.

At the same time as the 8th Division continued to advance westward, it was strictly ordered that the defenses of the opposing blocking forces must be broken through within 24 hours at the latest. Advance westward with all their might, reach the territory of Boli in the shortest possible time, and rescue the eastward troops of the 10th Division and the 6th Division.

Although making this decision was a difficult decision for Shigeichi Hatada. However, compared with the Eastern Front, where the forces were relatively concentrated, the premature erosion of the battle situation on the Western Front could only allow him to use it early and not yet complete the final formation, and the divisional artillery wing and search team were not yet in place. Originally, it was not intended to be transferred to the battlefield, but was only used to sweep the enemy-controlled area after the war.

But Shigeichi Harata also clearly knew what it would mean for the entire Western Front once the Sixth Division collapsed. It not only means that the flanks of the 14th Division will be exposed, but even once the other side goes all out south along this opened gap, it can threaten Harbin to the west, and to the east it can directly approach the Mudanjiang town, a major town in North Manchuria, and outflank the rear roads of several divisions on the eastern front.

After the 7th Division was transferred, the 2nd Division, the 24th Division, and the 25th Division suffered heavy losses last year, and at this time they were transferred to Mukden in southern Manchuria to rest and lick their wounds. The Fourth Division was also being shipped to prepare for transfer to the China Battlefield, and there were hardly any field divisions in the entire North Manchurian region except for the 23rd Division, which was responsible for the defense of the Central and Western Manchurian regions.

The 51st Division, which was originally scheduled to be convenient for the Kwantung Army, was still being formed in Japan itself, and only one and a half regiments had arrived in Manchuria at present, and it was only equipped with infantry equipment, and its cavalry, artillery, engineers, and other technical arms and baggage troops were still being formed, and the degree was extremely slow.

As soon as the 28th Division was formed, it was transferred from the base camp to the China Battlefield to replace the 6th Division. At present, several divisions and regiments in the entire North Manchurian region are under their own command, and the rest of the region does not have any military strength except for the ** garrison with only light weapons and the puppet Manchu military police.

Once the 6th Division collapses, the gates of the entire Western Front will be completely opened. There will be no garrison from Yilan to Harbin. If the opponent wants, they can even easily enter the reed river along the southern area of Yilan and extend their lives to outflank the 14th Division. And this consequence is not something that he Harata Shigeichi can bear.

In the face of a near-brutal situation, despite some hesitation, he transferred the last reserve regiment he could now use, the 29th Division. Even if the main force of the Sixth Division could not be rescued, the eastward detachment of the Sixth Division trapped in the mountainous area of central Boli must be rescued.

Although the 29th Division, after receiving the order, immediately went out. But even if the 29th Division could rush to the southern area of Yilan in time to participate in the battle, it would not be able to change the situation at this time. Because of the day that was delayed, it can no longer be recovered. And the battle situation of this day has become a key point that affects the follow-up process of the entire campaign.
