    When receiving an order from the Kwantung Army headquarters to assemble south to participate in the battle to recapture Harbin, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the Japanese First Division, who had previously learned that his opponent had a powerful artillery force, did not dare to be careless.  [.Com/Text, not only will the main force of the tank regiment and artillery regiment of the division be dispatched, but also the two brigades of the first field heavy artillery regiment of the so-called Heihe frontal defense position mobile artillery, with a total of sixteen guns and ninety-six  The 150mm heavy howitzer was also sent out.  Trying to outgun the opponent.

    In order to cooperate with the 25th Division and the 9th Division going north, Harbin was recovered as quickly as possible to restore the so-called international influence.  Except for a border garrison and eight squadrons that stayed in Heihe, the First Division was mobilized southward.

    As the main opponent of the First Division, Wang Guangyu has four brigades on hand. Although his independent Eighth Brigade is a newly formed unit, due to external operations, the artillery to which it belongs is in addition to the Type 92 Infantry Artillery Battery belonging to the regiment.  All the remaining equipment has been fully equipped, except that it has not been completed due to quantity reasons.

    The four brigades under Wang Guangyu, except for the independent Eighth Brigade organized by the remnants of the Third Anti-Alliance Army, are only equipped with 150mm heavy mortars and lightweight Type 41 mountain cannons because you are of a guerrilla nature.  The remaining three brigades are all fully equipped with artillery.  The artillery damaged in the first phase of the battle has been replaced with reserve artillery.

    And before attacking outside, Yang Zhen assigned one of the only two 155th heavy howitzer regiments in the military region to Wang Guangyu, as well as a battalion of the 122nd rocket artillery regiment directly under the headquarters.  At the same time, a newly formed French 120mm howitzer battalion was also strengthened to the first column.  Twelve anti-tank companies were urgently formed using the newly shipped 25mm anti-tank guns from Jiangbei, and seven of them were allocated to the first column at one time.

    As for light weapons, except for the first and second brigades and the independent third brigade, which have all been replaced with equipment made entirely in Poland, the newly formed independent eighth brigade has been completely replaced with French Leber rifles and M192 rifles.  Type II light machine gun and Hotchkiss heavy machine gun.  The mortars are all French 81mm medium-sized mortars whose performance exceeds that of the Japanese 90mm mortars.

    Although the regiment's Type 92 infantry artillery company has not yet been fully equipped, it has added a 150mm heavy mortar company and a chemical defense company equipped with four flamethrowers produced by the military region's arsenal.  The firepower at the regiment level is even stronger than that of the old troops.  The proportion of submachine guns per squad has also been changed from two to three.

    It can be said that Wang Guangyu has now replaced all the equipment of the first column with Polish-made and French equipment. Except for the lack of tanks, it is no less than the ace among the aces of the Japanese army. All new equipment is the first to be replenished.  division.  Even in terms of anti-tank firepower, it far surpassed the Japanese army.

    Although the caliber of the French 25mm anti-tank gun is not as good as the Japanese 37 rapid-fire gun, its performance is far superior to the Japanese 37 rapid-fire gun.  As for the performance of Bofors 37 anti-artillery, it is even more incomparable to the Japanese army.  These combat anti-tank guns and the rocket launchers assigned to the platoon level form a combination of long and near anti-tank firepower.

    One has just finished changing his clothes and his morale is high.  A self-owned veteran division, well-equipped.  One designation is not only the first column of the Jidong Military Region, but also the first brigade and the first regiment of the military region. One designation is the entire Japanese First Division.  When these two first-class troops met, they enthusiastically welcomed their opponents' arrival with intensive gunfire.

    Wang Guangyu faced the first division that was deployed in full force. He relied on the superior equipment in his hands to attack from defense to attack.  In addition to the Second Brigade blocking the 57th Infantry Regiment attached to the First Tank Regiment in Longzhen, the two main brigades attacked and advanced towards the Nenjiang River with all their strength.

    And with the help of the Eighth Independent Brigade, which relied on their familiarity with geography and took a small road to seize Kehoutun on the north bank of the Koluo River and the Sunzhai front line.  In the triangle area on the east bank of the Colo River and south of the Mu River, the 49th Regiment and the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment strengthened the encirclement trend of the four infantry squadrons of the 1st Regiment.

    It is fair to say that the First Division was not ambiguous. After discovering that it was being surrounded by its opponents, the Forty-ninth Regiment did not retreat but advanced.  Relying on artillery support, they attacked and advanced southward with all their strength.  However, faced with the flanking attacks from Wang Guangyu's two trump cards, the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Independent Brigade, the 8th Independent Brigade kept biting from behind, and the opponent's powerful artillery attack, it was difficult to move forward.

    Especially the wolf pack tactics of the Eighth Independent Brigade caused great losses to the 47th Regiment.  Guo Tiejian, the commander of the Independent Eighth Brigade, suffered heavy losses in the sweep by the Japanese and puppet troops last autumn, and he and political commissar Yu Tianfang retreated into the base area under the cover of the second division troops to gain a foothold.  Later, he led his troops to undergo training in the Jidong Military Region.  As the leader of the main detachment of the Third Route Army, Guo Tiejian hated the Forty-seventh Regiment, which was the main force of the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression of the Third Route Army

    Not only the brigade commander Guo Tiejian, but also the main regimental-level cadres of two of the three regiments of the Eighth Independent Brigade are all cadres of the Third Route Army who retreated to the base area one after another after the defeat of the Third Route Army last fall and the start of this battle.  .  Even a large number of battalion, company and platoon commanders were held by the backbone of the Third Route Army's eastward retreat.

    Deputy brigade commander Wang Minggui and commander of the Second Regiment Wang Jun retreated to the base area after the complete defeat of the Third Route Army this year.  Zhang Yunsheng, director of the Brigade Political Department, and Zhang Guangdi, leader of the First Regiment, and Guo Tiejian retreated to the base area last year.  These survivors of the Third Route Army also hated the 47th Regiment, which was the direct executioner of the Third Route Army's complete defeat.  Most of the sick and wounded captured by the Third Route Army were massacred by this 47th Regiment.

    With the approval of Wang Guangyu, Guo Tiejian took advantage of his geographical familiarity and led the Eighth Independent Brigade to march alone. After bypassing the Japanese army on the Hengshan line and directly seizing the Sunzhai line, he left only one regiment under the command of political commissar Yu Tianfang and deputy brigade commander Wang Minggui.  Monitor other Japanese troops in Heihe and ensure that the main force is engaged in encirclement and annihilation operations.

    Personally commanded a reinforced regiment to launch a fierce attack from the rear of the 47th Regiment.  Guo Tiejian did not fight head-on with the 47th Regiment, but just like a group of foraging wolves seeing a herd of deer, he commanded the two regiments to follow leisurely behind.  But as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will pounce on him and bite him.  And as soon as he bites, he will bite off a large piece of his opponent's flesh.

    Guo Tiejian's tactics can be said to be quite effective.  The Forty-seventh Regiment faced the opponent's two-sided attack and was still unable to mobilize its main force to turn around and deal with the Eighth Independent Brigade. It could only constantly mobilize its troops to turn around and deal with the hungry wolf behind it.

    As a result, because the number of troops mobilized each time was not large, one squadron after another sent food to the mouth of the Independent Eighth Brigade.  Not only was he unable to repel the hungry wolf behind him that couldn't stop biting him, but it actually weakened the troops facing the First Brigade and the Third Independent Brigade on the front line.

    The First Field Heavy Artillery Regiment assigned to it, equipped with sixteen Type 96 heavy howitzers, suffered heavy losses in the exchange of fire with the 122nd Rocket Artillery Regiment directly under the First Column Headquarters.  Although it is equipped with sixteen Type 96 heavy howitzers, its single gun performance is good, but its firepower density is far behind that of the forty-shot 122 rocket launcher, and its maximum range of 12 kilometers is also not as good as that of a 12-2 rocket launcher.  22 has a maximum range of twenty kilometers.

    Wang Guangyu was very calm. Although he had mobilized the heavy artillery regiment directly under him to participate in the battle from the beginning, he hid the 1, 2 and 2 rocket artillery battalions attached to the headquarters.  He gave the order to the battalion commander that as long as the Japanese First Heavy Artillery Regiment did not fire, his rocket launcher battalion was absolutely not allowed to fire.  But as long as they fire, they must suppress the first heavy artillery regiment.

    In fact, the Japanese army's battlefield reconnaissance capabilities are quite strong, but they still have no awareness of this rocket artillery battalion, which Wang Guangyu deployed four kilometers deep to the front-line troops and kept strict vigilance.  In addition, they lost air superiority, and one reconnaissance plane took off but another was shot down.  Therefore, the Japanese army had no idea that their opponent had a rocket artillery battalion with a range of more than 20 kilometers waiting for them.

    When receiving a telegram asking for help from the desperate frontline troops who had been bombarded by the opponent's heavy artillery, Colonel Jiang Yuan, the leader of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, gave the order without hesitation, concentrating all artillery in an attempt to suppress the opponent's heavy artillery blasting at the 47th Regiment.  force.  What Colonel Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that his opponent had a surprise force waiting for him to open fire.

    After receiving the request for help from the 47th Regiment, the 16 Type 96 heavy howitzers carried by the First Field Heavy Artillery Regiment this time opened fire quickly in an attempt to relieve the firepower pressure of the infantry.  But little did they know that the three artillery groups of the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment were targeted by opponents who were waiting to fire as soon as they appeared.

    After intense calculations and measuring its location, Ouyang Qin, the deputy commander of the 122 Rocket Regiment directly under the headquarters who personally led the team, gave the order and twelve 122 rocket launchers were exposed towards the Japanese Seventh Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.  out of position and fired a volley.

    Four hundred and eighty 122 rockets trailed long tail flames, spectacularly passing over the positions of the two armies that were fighting fiercely. I was dumbfounded when I saw this kind of shell firing from behind and passing over my head again.  In front of the officers and soldiers of the 49th Regiment, they flew towards the position of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.

    ¡°Many of the officers and soldiers of the 49th Regiment were used as test subjects for the world¡¯s first batch of rocket launchers last year, and have enjoyed the warm greetings of these fire-breathing and powerful shells.  When they saw this kind of artillery shell passing over the top of their heads, the officers and soldiers who participated in the westward march last year thought of their colleagues who suffered heavy casualties under this kind of artillery shell.  He couldn't help but shrink his neck in fright, and he crawled in the trench no matter how much the officer scolded him, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

    Before these officers and soldiers, who had already enjoyed the entertainment of such powerful artillery, could react.  Accompanied by a burst of dense explosions?Just now, they were desperately supporting the front-line infantry operations, but the positions of the three artillery groups of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, which was desperately firing artillery shells, were covered by dense artillery shells.

    The 122 rocket launcher, like the 107 rocket launcher, is most suitable for covering exposed positions and marching groups with firepower.  Its extremely high rate of fire and dense firepower density can even be described as terrifying for its lethality to opponents in this situation.

    ¡°Coupled with Wang Guangyu¡¯s calculations and unintentional calculations, the ending of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, the main fire support of the 49th Regiment¡¯s southward operations, cannot be described with just one word of tragedy.
