"Target Sallin Farm, azimuth 11, 3971 yards away, ready!"

On the morning of the first day, the night had just receded, and the guns of the 6th Division were already aimed at the Sallin Farm, and the night battle was lost, and the farm was knocked down by the Japanese army, and the 6th Division did not even have time to collect the corpses of its comrades, which was undoubtedly a shame for the soldiers of the 6th Division.

The temporary withdrawal from Sallin Farm did not mean that the 6th Division had abandoned this position, and the lost Division had to be regained with swords and guns.

"The artillery regiment is ready to take position!"

"The 21st regiment enters the assault position!" Zuo Yunong's headquarters received calls from the artillery regiment, Huo Qingyun and several other infantry commanders.

"Division, telegram from the General Staff!" The telegraph operator removed his headset and pulled out a newly printed message and said loudly.

"Read!"

"Zuo Yunong, commander of the 6th Division, the First Army of Heilongjiang has left the Mudanjiang River in the east to intercept the Japanese troops who are going north to reinforce them, the ordnance has been transported at the same time, and the aviation troops are in position on the same day..."

"Call back to the General Staff, just say that my 6th Division will do its best to conquer Boli City, and wait for the traces of ice melting in the spring, and then invite the marshal and the chief of staff to come to Boli City to go out!" Zuo Yunong raised the phone again and gave the order to attack.

"Woohoo..."

Swarms of shells slammed into Salfon's farm with a long screech in the air. Not to mention that it was only the second day of the battle, and all the artillery of the 3rd Division had not yet arrived, and even if it had already arrived, the artillery configuration of the Japanese division at this time would have to be suppressed by the artillery regiment of the 6th Division.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Fumiichiro Ta, who had just retired from Sallin Farm, was bandaging the wounds on his face and arms, and was being a battleground for both sides. Tian Wenichiro knew that the Northeast Army would never give up so lightly, but he didn't expect the Northeast Army's retaliation to come so quickly and so violently, watching the shells spread out like fireworks in Sallin Farm, and in the huge fireworks that were raised, there were Japanese soldiers from time to time. Or some blown limb falling from mid-air.

"Damn, why don't our Type 38 field artillery return fire and blow up those damn China!" Fumiichiro Tada's uninjured left hand was clenched so hard that his nails were about to sink into the flesh.

It had only been a few hours since the position was taken from the hands of the 6th Division, and the tired Japanese army had no time to repair the fortifications of Sallin Farm, and such a place that was not dangerous to defend was very vulnerable in the face of the artillery group of the 6th Division.

In that great war in history, the anti-Japanese army suffered under the fire of the Japanese army. Even without the support of air firepower, often a brigade of the Japanese army was able to beat a division of Lao Chiang, and in addition to Lao Chiang's troops, the Japanese artillery occupied the decisive factor. The Central Army often defended extremely hard under the attack of the Japanese army, and paid heavy casualties under the cover of artillery fire.

At this time, the situation was more or less the opposite, of course, the disparity between the two sides was not as great as that between China and Japan during World War II. The firepower of the 6th Division was only relatively superior.

The Japanese infantry is the product of decades of accumulation, and it is extremely elite. It is no exaggeration to say that under the same equipment. Even the British or American troops had to be beaten and screamed by the Japanese army. The Japanese infantry was extremely strict in shooting and bayonet training, and there were now only 11 or 2 permanent divisions in Japan. Probably in the upper echelons of the army, there are some non-commissioned officers who rely on backgrounds and go through relationships, but in the lower ranks. The soldiers are definitely elite-level. Even with a slight superiority in weapons, the 6th Division was taken by the Japanese at Sallin Farm. It can be seen that the Japanese army is prosperous.

However, the Japanese infantry was relatively superior, and there was not much difference in artillery, and the German-style artillery equipped by the Northeast Army was more advanced than the Japanese Army's Type 38. Artillery of the same caliber is often more powerful. The Northeast Army attaches great importance to the output of firepower. The top brass of the Japanese army was not generous, and in order to save money, there were not many live-fire exercises. The Northeast Army's live-fire exercises were not more frequent than those of the Japanese army, but at least they were equal, and artillery was regarded as one of the most important means of attack in all major and small wars. In particular, in the First Battle of the Middle East Road, tens of thousands of shells were fired. In terms of actual combat experience, compared with the Japanese army, which has not encountered a major battle in recent years, the artillery of the 6th Division is richer.

The outcome of some wars is often decided before the start of the war, and the current duel between the Japanese artillery and the artillery regiment of the 6th Division is suitable for this sentence.

Rumble!

There was a huge explosion on the artillery positions of the 6th Division, a cannon was thrown into the air by a detonated shell, and the gun carriage had long been scattered into various parts. The artillerymen next to him fell to the ground. Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, this sentence is appropriate anywhere. THE ARTILLERY BATTLE LASTED MORE THAN TWO HOURS, AND THE NORTHEAST ARMY HAD LOST 4 MOUNTAIN GUNS, 2 FIELD GUNS, AND EVEN ONE 105MM HOWITZER, AND NEARLY 100 ARTILLERY CASUALTIES.

However, the losses of the Japanese side were only much more than those of the 6th Division, and it can be judged from the sound of the enemy's artillery that the artillery on the Japanese side was almost destroyed.

"General, last night's battle our army has conquered Sallin Farm, otherwise I would not have appeared in front of you so soon, please send troops immediately to attack the flank of the Northeast Army, now the main force of the Northeast Army has been contained by our army, as long as the general is willing to send troops, this war will end immediately, as the greatest hero, the empire will not treat His Excellency the General badly, wealth, status, women, His Excellency the General just spoke." The frontal battlefield was tight, and the rear could not get enough assistance for a while, so the Japanese army hit Chicherov, who was closest to the Japanese army in Boli City.

"Your Excellency Yuanye, the battle between you and the Northeast Army is too fierce, and several powerful factions in the city are now waiting and watching and refusing to take a stand lightly. With my few people alone, I am afraid that as soon as I left the city, I was beaten back by the Northeast Army blocked outside the city. Checherov's face was embarrassed, the reputation of the Japanese army was strong, but the Northeast Army in front of him was not weak at all, and he would not fall behind in the confrontation with the Japanese army, Checherov was self-aware, and the five or six thousand people under his command were under such a strong blow. I'm afraid it won't be long before it collapses.

It's really useless, Yuan Yecun scolded with disdain in his heart, at this time, the 6th Division of the Northeast Army was tight, and the troops blocked outside Boli City were repeatedly transferred, and there were less than 2,000 people left, and the others were transferred to the front line to fight with the Japanese army. Even if the Northeast Army had superior weapons, it was not overwhelming, and in the face of more Japanese troops rushing to Boli, the 6th Division had to go all out.

It is possible to draw 2,000 men to defend the Russian army in the city, while maintaining the attack on Sallin Farm, which has reached its limit. Reputation is indeed a good thing, the Japanese army has dominated the position of the most powerful army in Asia for decades, and it is only symbolically transferred some troops to guard against the Russian army that Boli may turn back, and with the accumulated power of many years since the Russo-Japanese War, it is enough to shock these Russian troops and dare not move. Of course. It would be even more perfect if these Russian commanders could be instigated to defect to the Japanese side.

It's just that to Haranomura's disappointment, Checherov, a coward, said that he would not send troops until the shape was completely understood. And among the other powerful factions in the city, one or two of them have begun to move closer to the Red Russians, which are not reliable at all, and the Red Russians will not take advantage of the Japanese army, and there is a person with a slightly smaller force than Chicherov who is more on the side of the Northeast Army, but he will not risk attacking the Japanese army now.

Yuan Yecun, who was disappointed again, secretly scolded a few bitches for raising them, those people in the special high school really grew up eating shit. After operating in the Russian Far East for so many years, even a few people could not instigate it. Even the newly rising Northeast can penetrate in Boli and do as well as the extra-high class.

God does not favor one side because one side has the will to die, just as countless hot-blooded men died in vain in World War II. Perhaps in East Asia, where Oriental mythology is revered, God has no control over it.

The resistance of the Japanese troops at Sallin Farm was not without fierceness, and under the covering artillery fire of the 6th Division, the dead and wounded were left behind, and they still repelled the attack of Huo Qingyun's regiment several times under the bombardment of artillery. Both sides are constantly increasing their forces to the Sallin Farm positions. Fighting to the rear, the enemy and our troops gathered on both sides of the farm have exceeded the 7,000 mark.

"Fire! Three shots! ”

"The cannon extends 150 yards to the Japanese position, test fire!"

"Put!"

The ears of the artillerymen were almost deafened, and some of the people who had retreated from the artillery regiment were somewhat deaf, and the voices of those who gave the order to fire the artillery were a little hoarse. But as long as the battle does not stop, these artillery pieces will not stop in the slightest, and with each shot, it is possible to eliminate a few people, or even a dozen enemy soldiers. And if these enemy troops are alive and can fight out almost the same number of comrades-in-arms, and everyone is full of strength to defeat the Japanese army, the prestige of the Northeast Army will reach the highest point in history.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the ground on Sallin's farm has been shaking. After another round of shelling, the artillery regiment of the 6th Division began to extend the shelling of the Japanese positions. When a large number of Japanese soldiers were still lying in the cold, and the Japanese soldiers who had long been dyed red to avoid the shelling were still a little dizzy and tinnitus, Huo Qingyun had already roared and gave the order to attack. A brigade of soldiers from the Northeast Army poured into Sallin Farm. The ground was littered with lodging corpses, both Japanese and Northeastern. In such a fierce battle, neither side had time to clean up the battlefield. The few rare breaks can only be used to catch their breath and cope with the fierce fight that will come later.

In the face of the surging Northeast Army, the Japanese troops lying on the ground jumped up, each finding the best firing position. In addition to being heavier than the MG08 water-cooled Makqin, and the durability is a little worse, if it is really fired, the rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute is not much worse than the rate of fire of nearly 600 rounds of Makqin, and the heavy machine gun on the battlefield is basically rarely hit to the highest rate of fire.

Bang! In the chaotic gunfire, the Japanese machine gunner holding the three-year heavy machine gun had a bloody hole in his head, and his body fell down weakly. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, there are always some capable people.

The artillery fire was extended, the machine guns covered the battlefield, and the grenades opened the way, which was obviously more lethal than the attack of the Northeast Army that the Japanese army was buried forward, and after paying a certain amount of casualties, the Northeast Army had been strangled with the Japanese army at the forefront.

Fierce white-knuckle battles, and the sound of grenade explosions sounded from time to time. Occasionally, some guns were lost, or discounted, and the soldiers on both sides threw away the scrap in their hands and tore them with hard objects they could catch, biting them with their teeth, as long as they could kill the enemy in front of them, they would do anything.

After both sides paid for the lives of hundreds of soldiers, the Japanese army first suffered some casualties after artillery bombardment, and under the resistance of the artillery of the Northeast Army, the Japanese troops who came up with reinforcements also suffered some blows. Sallin Farm was once again in the hands of the Northeast Army.

Unwilling to be defeated, the Japanese army immediately organized a counterattack death squad and repeatedly fought with the soldiers of the 6th Division on this farm. The war lasted until the night, and the battlefield without artillery cover became fierce again, and the fight of these two resilient armies made the Russian troops in Boli City tremble, even some Russian officers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War could not help but be shocked, both sides went crazy, and the tragic course of the war was not inferior to the Russo-Japanese War of that year.

The position has no fixed owner, it belongs only to the winning side. In the face of the increasingly strong wording of the Japanese side, Checherov also knew that the room for maneuver was getting smaller and smaller, but the price code issued by the Japanese side and the high cash check did make it more and more difficult to resist the temptation.

Just when Checherov began to move, and the Japanese army was rejoicing that it was about to pull a living force, a batch of replenished ordnance finally crossed the Heilongjiang River and was sent to the battalion of the 6th Division.

Otani Toshio detected that the Northeast side crossed the Heilongjiang River from time to time to supply the warring troops, and thought that the roundabout troops should also be coming, and it was definitely unrealistic for Checherov's lazy Russian troops to expect them to fight head-on with the Northeast Army, and they would be defeated in a few rounds, and they would be demoralized in vain, if they encouraged the other party to attack the supply team of the Northeast Army, I believe the situation would be much better, and for this kind of relatively easy task that can avoid the frontal battlefield, this guy who is afraid of death is also more acceptable.

Looking at the red Sallin farm on the map, Otani Shoufu felt a pain in his heart, in this small position, the Japanese army has shed too much blood, the problem is that even if the battlefield is captured on a snowy night today, it is still unknown whether it can be held during the day tomorrow, in the face of the Northeast Army, which is also strong, Otani Shoufu, who originally had the confidence of victory, was also a little hesitant at this time. The frontal battlefield is already scorched, and it is difficult for the Northeast Army to attack in a short period of time, the key depends on the results of the roundabout army.
