    When according to the scheduled plan, the entire battle started on time at 15 o'clock.  ¡¾.It is different from Meng Ziming who fought against the Second Regiment on the Western Front and fought with great success.  The two regiments of the Sixth Independent Brigade on the Eastern Front commanded by Ma Chunsheng remained silent. The troops were divided into two groups and pushed forward desperately toward their respective goals.

    You are right, you are arching.  As a force that has just been upgraded from local forces, the artillery of the Sixth Independent Brigade has not yet been equipped, and the firepower is very different from the main force.  The gap in firepower, coupled with the mountainous terrain in this area and the desperate resistance of the Japanese army, made the attack actions of the two regiments can only be described as arch.

    However, the offensive progress of the Independent Sixth Brigade is not slow.  Even compared with the fourth brigade on the west bank of the Ant River, Ma Chunsheng changed the original combat plan and concentrated the main force directly into Fangzheng County and the joint headquarters of the two Japanese regiments on the east bank, regardless of the rest of the Japanese troops.

    In addition, Ma Chunsheng strictly ordered the two regiments not to attack the strongholds held by the small Japanese troops, but to find gaps to bypass them directly.  If you really can't get around him, use the tactic of leaving some troops to surround him first.  And the independent sixth brigade's life-threatening style of play makes its attack speed even faster.

    Despite some inherent shortcomings, the troops of the Sixth Independent Brigade fought extremely fiercely in this battle.  As all soldiers value honor, in the face of the threat of revoking their designation and organization, the entire Sixth Independent Brigade seemed to have changed into a different person in a very short period of time.  Facing the forces of the 59th Regiment and the 15th Regiment of the Japanese Army, the entire Independent Sixth Brigade, which had lost its original sluggish style, knew that if this battle did not go well, its designation would be revoked.  There was a surge of energy from top to bottom.  That means we have to fight this battle successfully even at the risk of our lives, and we must not let the military region revoke its designation.  For the cadres and soldiers of the Sixth Independent Brigade, this battle is no longer just a matter of honor, but a life and death battle to defend the dignity of their own soldiers.

    The red-eyed troops had almost no regard for casualties and just kept rushing forward.  The troops of the two regiments were like two sharp knives, thrusting towards their respective targets according to Ma Chunsheng's plan.  Not only the soldiers were beaten crazy, but all the cadres were beaten with red eyes.

    Almost all cadres, including the two regiment leaders and the political commissar, are fighting on the front line.  The battalion commander and instructor fell, and the company commander and instructor took their place.  The company commander and instructor died and were replaced by the platoon commander.  The platoon leader died and was replaced by the squad leader.  All those who died fell towards the front.

    I was injured, I couldn't see it on my back, and continued to charge as long as I didn't fall.  Those who could not walk would struggle, crawl toward the Japanese position with cluster grenades in their arms, and kill the enemy together with the grenades in their arms.  In order to avenge their shame and hold on to their hard-won main force number, the entire Sixth Independent Brigade went crazy.

    Of course, this "crazy" does not mean that everyone has lost their mind.  Ma Chunsheng had anticipated this situation before he attacked.  Ma Chunsheng asked the attacking troops to make more use of tactical movements as cover during the battle. Commanders at all levels should try their best to grasp the intensity and scale of the attack while commanding from the front.

    With less artillery fire, use more explosives, grenades, cluster grenades and mortars.  And carry out reasonable configuration of light and heavy machine guns.  He repeatedly emphasized to them that no one was allowed to fight to the death.  Otherwise, even if you complete the mission, if you cause unnecessary casualties to the troops due to hard work, the military and political officers will also be dismissed.  It effectively prevents unnecessary casualties caused to the troops due to the commander's hot-headedness.

    Despite relying on relatively complete field fortifications and full fire support from artillery.  But facing this force that was stunned from top to bottom, the 59th Regiment of the 14th Division deployed on the east bank of the Ant River was really caught off guard.

    The 59th Regiment itself suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle to reinforce the Sixth Division. Although the main force of the Regiment was withdrawn by Seiichi Kita, who saw that the situation was not good, it still had a force equivalent to one and a half corps.  Part of the attached 15th Regiment was wiped out together with the 6th Division in the mountains south of Yilan.

    In the subsequent entangled battle with the Second Column, the 59th Regiment, which had suffered a lot of damage, basically sat on the sidelines and played soy sauce on the side.  The remaining troops were also treated as fire brigade by Kita Seiichi and were dispatched to pieces.  Although with this adjustment of deployment, several squadrons assigned to the 15th Wing were transferred back.  However, the 59th Regiment, which had lost its vitality and had no replacement troops, was almost the weakest combat unit in the entire 14th Division.

    In fact, in the second half of the first phase of the campaign, the 59th Regiment, which was reduced to a semi-crippled state in the battle to reinforce the Sixth Division, was assigned to two squadrons of the Second Regiment plus the division most of the time.  The search team confronted the Sixth Independent Brigade on the Huangni River line.  Not many people participate in the real battle. At most, you touch a handful and I take one.A small battle.

    In the second half of the first phase of the campaign.  The real battle between the 14th Division and the 2nd Column mainly took place between the 4th Brigade and the 2nd Regiment in the west, as well as the 6th Brigade and the 6th Brigade.  The losses were due to the 15th Regiment, which was smaller than the 57th Regiment.

    When the battle was launched, the 15th Regiment was naturally the focus of the attack because it was on the front.  Although they tried their best to barely block the Sixth Brigade's offensive in Jiangbei, they defended Jiang's defense.  However, nearly one brigade was injured or killed in the battle. However, due to its important location, it was able to barely recover with the help of the division's engineer wing.

    "Compared to the 15th Regiment, which has been replenished and restored to some vitality by the Engineer Regiment, the 59th Regiment does not have such a good life.  In addition, the task given to the 57th Regiment by the division commander Seiichi Kita is to guard the kilometers leading to Yanshou no matter what, so as to ensure the retreat of the entire division when necessary.  This caused the 57th Regiment to place the remaining main forces on hand at the line from Zhao Pao Tun to Yongxin, and the troops were relatively dispersed.

    After all, Fangzheng is connected to the mountains and rivers in the south of Yilan. Who knows which direction the opponent will come from.  The fighting on the center line has ended, and the Sixth Division and the Eighth, Tenth, and Eleventh Divisions have been wiped out.  The 29th Division fled far away and disappeared without a trace.  At present, apart from the 12th Division on the easternmost side of the entire front, there is only one 14th Division still holding on.

    Facing the main force of opponents that may swarm in at any time, the strength of the 14th Division is obviously not enough.  In order to ensure the retreat of the entire division, the 59th Regiment could only disperse its limited forces to guard various key points along the Fangzheng to Yanshou highway.  Now that the Sixth Independent Brigade has concentrated its main force and is so desperate, the 57th Regiment is really unable to bear it.

    In the first stage of the battle, the 14th Division seemed to be the only one to survive among several front-line divisions.  But in fact, I still suffered a big loss.  In the previous battle, although the Fourteenth Division defended the Songhua River in front of Fangzheng County, its flanks were thrown into chaos by Wang Xiaoming's concentrated superior forces.

    Not only did he fail to fight across the Songhua River as ordered by Namada Juichi, he was also outflanked by his opponent.  Both the east and west sides were penetrated by the second vertical outflanking troops, and a considerable part of the troops on hand had to be divided to defend the east and west sides.  The 15th Regiment on the front was also suppressed by the original 6th Brigade.

    If the Sixth Brigade had not been transferred midway, and the independent Sixth Brigade's offensive capability was poor, Wang Xiaoming would have only one brigade left on hand, which would be enough to protect himself, but the offensive power was obviously insufficient.  In addition, Yang Zhen strategically moved east and then west, and only implemented containment for the 14th Division, preventing it from the overall deployment of eastward transfer.

    At the beginning of the campaign, the battle with the Second Column, together with the permanent losses caused by the reinforcements of the Sixth Division, totaled one-third of the casualties, but the Fourteenth Division did not receive a single soldier to replenish it.  Is there still the strength to continue to persist here?  Wang Xiaoming, whose eyes were reddened by the results of the battles on the Eastern Front, had already taken advantage of them.

    Wang Xiaoming ignored the lack of troops and launched the attack first, which was somewhat beyond Kita Seiichi's expectation.  I originally thought I would take advantage of the fact that the opponent had transferred a considerable amount of troops and my pressure was suddenly reduced, so I could take the opportunity to adjust my deployment.  But he didn't expect that before he had finished adjusting his deployment, his opponent would launch an attack first regardless of his weak strength.

    On the surface, the 14th Division was still holding on, but secretly the entire division was preparing to retreat. Faced with Wang Xiaoming's preemptive move, the 14th Division took action.  Although they were not defenseless at all, they were used to the fact that neither side could do anything to the other during this period. It was just that the Fourteenth Division, who was fighting some small battles back and forth, did not expect that his opponent would not be like this time.  He was tossing around with his usual routine and launched a full-scale attack with all his strength.

    Faced with Wang Xiaoming's almost life-threatening attack, the first thing he couldn't withstand was that he didn't expect that he rarely took the initiative to attack in person and was a stubborn opponent most of the time. But now his temperament changed drastically and he was like crazy and desperate.  Fighting the 59th Regiment.

    In addition, the troops themselves are stationed relatively scattered.  When adjusting the deployment, although several squadrons assigned to the 15th Regiment were brought back, even so, there were only seven infantry squadrons left, scattered like sheep dung eggs from the south of Fangzheng County.  They are everywhere in Yanshou.  After the mutiny of two organic brigades of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, Kita Seiichi no longer dared to hand over logistics to the Puppet Manchukuo military and police.

    Insufficient strength, coupled with the dispersion of troops, and Ma Chunsheng's strategy of concentrating his troops and ignoring the troops to the south, to attack Fangzheng County in the north and the joint headquarters with the 15th Regiment, specifically targeting key points.  As a result, the defense line of the 59th Regiment could not hold out for long.

    Although the division's artillery provided considerable firepower support, and the scattered squadrons of the 59th Regiment fought fiercely, the defense was extremely tenacious.  But facing the opponent?The fatal attack posture and the mistakes in the deployment of its own troops caused considerable casualties to the Independent Sixth Brigade, but they still failed to withstand the opponent's life-threatening attack.  Less than two hours after the battle started, the defense line had been breached.

    After more than four hours of bloody battle, the independent regiment that attacked Zhuanshanzi defeated more than two squadrons of the 14th Division stationed in Deshan at the expense of the casualties of the Jiandao Battalion, almost a one-to-one casualty ratio with the Japanese army, and captured  Deshan cut off the connection between the 59th Regiment and the 14th Division Regiment Headquarters in Fangzheng County and the 15th Regiment to the north.  And the main force went out to launch an offensive in Zhengxian County.

    The Third Independent Regiment, which attacked from the front line of Huangni River, successively captured Chaoyang, Qianfeng and Yaolishu after fierce fighting.  Bypassing Shipipu, which was defended by a Japanese squadron, and seizing the front line of Chengjiatun before the reinforcements of the 59th Regiment arrived, they blocked the northward reinforcement route of the 59th Regiment.
