572 Fighting for Korea Part 1

In the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, it is now the spring season of 1932. Looking out through the train window, the Korean mountains on both sides of the railway were covered with dark green colors. The undulating hills, low Korean-style houses, Korean farmers working in green fields, and drizzling spring rain. If there were no such military trains that kept coming from Busan, if there were no millions of troops tensely confronting the two sides of the 38th Line, this would definitely be a pleasant pastoral country.

But now, the entire Korean Peninsula has been shrouded in a strong smell of gunpowder. On the railway or cross or parallel highways, you can see brigades of troops moving forward everywhere. The Japanese Red Army, their predecessor, was like the Japanese Imperial Army. This army also allowed ordinary Koreans to avoid them. However, the Koreans could still be tempted by the mentality of being unable to afford to avoid being hiding and avoiding the Japanese army like locusts, but now they cannot treat the Japanese Red Army like this. Because the Red Army is the army of the people, the Red Army of the Japanese Soviet Union Republic is also the army of their Korean people, so every Korean must support this people's army wholeheartedly, otherwise they would not be a member of the people of all ethnic groups in Japan.

For the citizens of a Soviet country, the consequences of losing the identity of the people are quite serious!

In the current land of the Soviet Union Republic, people are divided into 56 levels! Among them, cadres and revolutionary soldiers are of course at the top of the Japanese social pyramid. The five levels of workers, hired farmers, poor farmers, lower-middle peasants, and clerks are politically more likely to stand out. The remaining 49 levels are all untouchables of varying degrees.

However, the class struggle in the Soviet Union also has its own characteristics. There are millions of "counter-revolutionary samurai class"... The local GCD cadres in Japan dare not casually deduct a samurai who is always ready to give up their lives, otherwise they will face the danger of death at any time. Therefore, in Japan, there are not many people in the 49 untouchable levels. Moreover, the local Japanese has not implemented land reform. Even if they are labeled as a landlord, they still collect rent. At most, their children cannot join the army, join the party, advance, and take the college entrance examination.

But the situation in South Korea is different. There are no samurai here who takes his life seriously. Moreover, the leaders of the Japanese, including Takeda Hiroshi, have no favoritism for the North Korean exploiting class. Of course, they are given a cruel blow to the North Korean exploiting class in the spirit of softness. Anyone who can get a little bit of a leap from the Li dynasty or the power and power in the history of North Korea was labeled as lords, reactionary bureaucrats, and reactionary officers, and became a pariah among the untouchables.

The central government issued a 5% landlord indicator and a 6% landlord indicator to more than 8 million North Koreans living in South Korea. The comrades below increased their investments, and finally turned more than 15% of South Koreans into a vacancies. At the same time, Japan also implemented severe land reform in South Korea. All land property of the landlord class was confiscated, and the land of the rich peasants and excess oxen, farm tools, and houses were confiscated. Only the worse labor share was allocated.

In addition, since North Korea was not "liberated", and many of the South Koreans regarded the Republic of Korea government in the north as orthodox. Therefore, Japan sent 10% of the spies, traitors and counter-revolutionaries to all South Koreans. Fortunately, these 10% are compatible with the previous 15% of the land wealthy people, so the number of untouchables in South Korea has not exceeded 2 million.

However, it was not the turn of the 6 million South Koreans who were untouchable. Before eliminating the local "counter-revolutionary samurai class", Japan did not dare to collect too much from local Japanese farmers and purchase grain. Even if such an order was issued, the grassroots regime of Japan did not dare to implement it. However, in South Korea, they had no concerns and rely on grassroots regimes spread throughout the rural areas of South Korea. Japan launched the "anti-production concealment movement" and "field inspection movement" in South Korea almost every year. Each movement found that the land yield per mu of South Korea had increased significantly, and a group of "new rich peasants" would be found. What followed was naturally the continuous increase in the total amount of public grain collection and the population of the entire South Korea showed a negative growth of hundreds of thousands in 8 years.

However, it would be a big mistake for anyone who thinks that the South Koreans will rebel against Japan and are ready to launch an armed uprising to overthrow the brutal rule of Japan. In fact, Japan's rule is quite solid in South Korea. On the one hand, various "movements" have brought disaster to a group of people and made most people in danger, but also brought opportunities to a group of "activists" to make great progress, and those who did not catch up with the opportunity to make great progress stretched their necks and hoped to make their mark in the next movement; on the other hand, through the propaganda tools in their hands, they told the South Korean people over and over again that under the wise leadership of Japan's GCD and the great leader Takeda Hiroshi, they have lived a happy life, but three-quarters of the suffering people in the world live in dire straits and waiting for them to liberation...

So after the news that "the world revolution is about to break out" spread on the land of South Korea, a generation of South Korean youth who grew up after the Japanese revolution also felt excited and lined up in front of the Japanese Red Army recruitment site in Seoul!

When the car that Takeda Hyung was riding away from the Seoul Railway Station and driving on the streets of Seoul, he saw hundreds of thousands of excited North Koreans welcomed him.

The cheers of "Tada Half Away! Takeda Half Away!" were deafening. Large standard images of Takeda were hung everywhere in the city. Some excited Japanese G Youth League members waved a small red cover book called "Tada Quotations" and shouted loudly at the top of their voices to shout Long live Chairman Takeda.

At this time, Takeda Yuki was also holding a "Quotes from Chairman Takeda" with the smell of ink. He looked at a page and whispered: "Chairman Takeda taught us..." Then he shook his head, closed the book, smiled bitterly at the political commissar of the Korean Front, Ken Kato, who was beside him, and asked: "Kato. Whose idea is this? He actually published such a book."

Ken Kato also took out a book "Quotes from Chairman Takeda" from his military uniform's pocket, waved at Takeda, and smiled and said, "Tada Jun. This is Yasuda Jun's idea. This book was also compiled and edited by him. It was originally planned to be released in North Korea. I want all the officers and soldiers of the North Korean Front to hand in one volume, so that they can learn your ideology and experience your thoughts while fighting, and they will be more brave and fearless when fighting."

Takeda Hiroshi laughed and looked out the car window. "This kind of thing is needed by North Koreans, and it may not be useful to the Japanese. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Red Army have always been the bravest. Whether this quote is the same."

Ken Kato nodded repeatedly: "Chairman, then this quotation will not be sent to the officers and soldiers of the North Korean Front for the time being."

While speaking, the convoy had already entered the Gwanghwa Gate, which was the main gate of the Gwanghwa Palace of the King of Korea. The North Korean Front Command is now located in the Gwanghwa Palace. Due to the urgent military situation, Front Commander Suzuki Soro, Chief of Staff Minamijiro, and Buluohel and Trikov who arrived in Seoul first arrived in Seoul did not go to the railway station to welcome Takeda, but held a brief welcome ceremony in front of the Second Bombing Rite Gate at Gyeongbok Palace. After the ceremony, Takeda did not go to the welcome banquet held by the North Korean Front, but held a military meeting in the war room of the North Korean Front, which was originally the King of Korea to handle national affairs.

In the conference room, around the huge sand table, Japanese Red Army officers, including the commander of the joint fleet from Wugang, Eisuke Yamamoto, and others gathered together. They were the first to be Mikura Hitaro Kimura as the chief of staff of the North Korean Front. He was somewhat proud to introduce the situation on the front line to Takeda. Of course, he had reason to be proud. After all, until now, the Chinese National Defense Forces showed no sign of crossing the Yalu River to the south. It was obvious that they were restrained by Chen Bing's "two million" Soviet Red Army in the Far East. If the Japanese Red Army succeeded in North Korea, the next step would be to jointly attack the main force of the Chinese National Defense Forces in Manchuria!

The deployment of the Japanese army on the sand table can be said to be clear at a glance. The Korean Front has deployed ten armies, thirty-eight infantry divisions, one tank division, one cavalry group, one aviation division, ten heavy artillery gangs, eight anti-aircraft artillery gangs, and three tank gangs. There are a total of millions of troops, 3,000 artillery pieces of various caliber, more than 600 tanks, armored vehicles, and more than 300 aircraft. In addition, the main force of the joint fleet is also on standby at Wu Jun Port, ready to attack the Japanese Sea at any time, and cooperate with the Korean Front to break through the North Korean Army's 38th line defense line. The focus of the Korean Front's attack is obviously on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese Red Army mecha army commanded by Tamen Jiro had been secretly mobilized. On the eastern foot of the Taibai Mountains on the east coast of North Korea, this army is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Red Army's First Tank Division, First Cavalry Group, Three ** Tank Regiment, and the Red Army's Second Division that has been fully motorized, with a total force of more than 70,000. However, this powerful mechanized cluster is not a sharp knife force that opens the North Korean military's defense line. In front of them, the North Korean Front also deployed an assault cluster, concentrating two armies' eight divisions and ten ** heavy artillery gangs, and preparing to use overwhelming strength and firepower advantages to crush the easternmost end of the North Korean Army's 38th Line defense line, and then invest in the mecha army to sweep the North Korean army's surveying and mapping, striving to encircle and annihilate the North Korean Army's 38th Line in the shortest time, clearing obstacles for the liberation of the entire North Korea.

As for the deployment of the North Korean army north of the 38th Line, the North Korean front did not receive much intelligence. It only found out the numbers of the South Korean advance, the First Army of the Volunteer Army, the Second Army of the Volunteer Army, the First Detachment of the National Police Corps and other troops based on cross-border reconnaissance. Moreover, through interrogation of the prisoners, the Japanese army also found that the poorly equipped and undertrained cannon fodder troops were deployed on the front line with the North Korean army. Therefore, the Front Command estimated that the North Korean army was likely to adopt a multi-level deep defense tactic, and may have deployed multiple defense lines north of the 38th Line, and a large number of reserve teams were reserved. .All plans are to launch a counterattack after the Japanese attack power is exhausted, and severely damage Japan north of Line 38. In addition, intelligence personnel from the Japanese People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also found that the North Korean government had evacuated most of the peaceful residents south of Line 40 north of Line 38 and also built large-scale fortifications around Pyongyang. The project has not been completely completed since November last year. It is estimated that Pyongyang has been transformed into a difficult and undefeated city. Therefore, the key to this battle is to achieve a large number of enemies near Line 38 to prevent them from retracting and defending Pyongyang.

After Kimura Hitaro expressed his opinion, the Japanese generals attending the meeting also agreed with his views. They all hoped to launch a decisive battle with the North Korean army on the 38th line, and it would be best to lure the Pyongyang defenders to the south.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to lure the enemy south? I'm afraid it's not easy?" Takeda Yuki turned his eyes to Choi Kov. The latter's eyebrows were also tightly frowning. The deep defense that the North Korean army put on the north side of the 38th line seemed to him not worth mentioning at all. But the city of Pyongyang is indeed a problem. The mechanized troops have no choice but to use a large number of infantry and artillery to slowly siege it. But the question is, will China in the north watch the Japanese Red Army capture Pyongyang? Millions of troops are under the city of Pyongyang, which is a good opportunity to destroy the main force of the Japanese North Korean Front in one fell swoop!

Cui Kov's eyes swept across the sand table over and over again, his thick eyebrows became more and more tighter, and finally he stopped at the port city of Wonsan on the east coast of North Korea.

"Comrade Takeda, we may be able to create conditions to strive to launch a decisive battle with the North Korean army in Wonsan!"

...

The sound of cars rumbling. And it was the sound of a large number of internal combustion engines roaring at the same time. A long steel dragon composed of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles was driving on the mountain road in North Korea. With these tanks and armored vehicles advanced together. There were also two infantry marching columns. However, looking at their military uniforms and banners, as well as tanks and armored vehicles, these should be an armored force of the Republic of Korea National Defense Forces.

Peng D-huai and Jin Zuozhen were standing on a high hill, carrying dozens of staff officers from the Chinese and Korean armies. They watched the steel dragon roll forward at the foot of the mountain. Everyone stretched their necks and held up the telescope, as if they were waiting for some performance.

Suddenly, a loud "rumbling" sound came from the front of the tank and armored vehicles. A blue-black smoke column raised high, and then in the middle of the trees on the opposite ridge, there were continuous sounds of cannons... This seemed to be a military exercise involving the Korean armored forces. What was fired on the ridge was not live ammunition, but practice bullets filled with cork warheads, and banged on the tank and the steel plates of the armored vehicles.

The surface was rubbed off a lot of paint. It seemed that this was not the first time that the Korean infantry guarded the tank and the armored vehicles had done such a job. When the explosion sounded, everyone hid in the tank. The other side of the armored vehicles, covering their helmets, curled into a ball. When the shelling was over, several officers holding small flags in their hands poked out from behind the tank and armored vehicles and began to check the "loss". Soon, a staff officer reported the "loss" to Peng Dhuai.

"Report to the Chief, after the exercise magistrate determined that the Red Party lost 28 tanks, 12 armored vehicles, and 6 armored vehicles. The entire armored cluster was judged to have suffered an annihilation strike!"

Peng Dhuai raised his thick eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at Hu Zongnan beside him, and said, "General Shoushan, it seems that the combat mode of the anti-tank ranger is feasible. However... the Japanese Red Army's T28 tank is not the Korean Army's A-type tank. Can our 45mm anti-tank gun ensure that they are destroyed?"

Jin Zuozhen also echoed on the side: "Yes, the t28 is much larger than the A-type tank, and it is even bigger than the Chinese hunter. Such a tank must be very strong, right?"

Hu Zongnan just smiled faintly: "So what if it's big? The target is bigger. According to intelligence, the armor thickness of the t28 is far inferior to the hunter. Moreover, our anti-tank ranger adopts ambush tactics, not to attack the front of enemy tanks, but to attack their flanks. The side armor of the t28 is only around 20mm, and our 45mm anti-tank gun can destroy it at a distance of 1,500 meters!"

Peng Dhuai shook his head, seemingly not convinced. "Since the 45mm anti-tank gun is so powerful, what else can the tank use? What do we have to build so many hunters to do? Isn't it enough to build more 45mm anti-tank guns?"

"Shi Gong (Peng Dhuai), what is powerful is not the 45mm anti-tank gun, but the anti-tank ranger." Hu Zongnan explained: "If the 45mm anti-tank gun is assigned to ordinary infantry divisions, it will not have much effect on the position. First, the defense front line of an infantry division is always more than 10 kilometers, and the 45mm anti-tank guns of a battalion or even a regiment are scattered on the long front line, and there is no way to form a dense anti-tank firepower network. Furthermore, position warfare is the cannon opening the way, and then infantry tanks follow up, so the anti-tank guns deployed at the front of the position will definitely suffer heavy losses from the enemy's artillery strikes. It is not easy to persevere until the enemy tanks launch an attack. Finally, in the enemy tanks, in the enemy tanks, the anti-tank guns deployed at the front of the position will definitely suffer heavy losses from the enemy's artillery attacks. It is not easy to persevere until half of the enemy tanks launch an attack. Finally, in the enemy tanks,

When launching an impact, there will definitely be mortars, infantry artillery, and self-propelled artillery responsible for fire cover. If our anti-tank guns cannot fire a few rounds, they will expose the target and be covered by enemy artillery fire. Therefore, the 45mm anti-tank guns will not play much role in ordinary infantry divisions. However, in the anti-tank ranger, the situation is completely different. Because the anti-tank ranger's combat target is the enemy tank troops, a large number of 45mm anti-tank guns are equipped with a large number of 45mm anti-tank guns. Secondly, the anti-tank ranger's tactics are not defensive positions, but actively attacking to find fighter jets. For this reason, the anti-tank ranger is also equipped with a large number of wheeled armored vehicles, which can drag 45mm anti-tank guns for mobile combat." (To be continued...)
