裏書 : 66xx—Japanese Artillery Coming Into ActIon.
In the great battles of Liaoyang and Mukden more than 1,000 guns were in action at once, and more ammunition was used in a forenoon than in the entire Spanish-American war. Such titanic forces had never before been used by men to destroy one another. The cost of the war would purchase all the school-books necessary to bring every child on earth to the door of the high school. Or it would supply the means to make a proclamation of the gospel of peace to every human being living.
The total force of Japanese field artillery at the outbreak of the war was given as 17 regiments, with 612 guns. This included six regiments of mountain artillery with 216 guns.
There were nine regiments of garrison artillery for the Tokyo Bay, Jura, and other forts. The artillerymen carry bayonets.
Field Marshal Marquis Oyama tells us what immense supplies of ammunition Japan prepared before the war with Russia. It seems incredible, but he writes, in Stead's Japan by the Japanese: "Since 1891 the Tokyo arsenal employed 2,160,805 people, of whom 96,325 were women, while the Osaka arsenal, during the same period, employed 1,499,-557 people, of whom 37,641 were women."
