Jiangjie is the capital of Cijiang Road in North Korea, and has long had trade relations with Ji'an. After Feng's army crossed the Yalu River, Zhang Henian led the first division and pounced on Jiangjie.
Along the way, the Japanese troops were defeated. Although the Japanese are usually very ferocious and tenacious, they were completely stunned when faced with the sudden attack. The Japanese are a very obedient nation, even to the point of being perverted.
.But there is also a problem. Because the upper echelons of Japan cannot accept the reality that the Yalu River has been breached, they are all temporarily in a panic and cannot come up with any strategy at all. The people below are even more confused.
The Japanese could only run away like crazy, but Feng Jun came over and killed them. Gunshots kept ringing out, and each Japanese soldier fell to the ground and was beaten into a sieve.
Just when night fell, Zhang Henian led his men and finally rushed to Jiangjie. This was also a concentration point for the Japanese frontline collapse. There were more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers defending the city.
These people were nothing more than a piece of cake for the First Division. Zhang Henian concentrated twelve 122mm howitzers and launched a fierce bombardment on the Jiangjie. The Korean city wall could not be compared with the Chinese city wall. Just now
After a few shellings, it collapsed in pieces. Feng troops immediately poured into the city and started a massacre of the remaining Japanese soldiers.
Facing an opponent with high morale, strong firepower, and rich experience, the Japanese turned into lambs to be slaughtered. The battle lasted until midnight. Except for a few who tried to escape, the First Division killed more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.
Four to five hundred people were captured, which can be regarded as the largest number of prisoners since the war began.
Winning a good start. The middle line army was also very encouraged, and the soldiers of the brigade quickly passed the pontoon bridge and set foot on the land of North Korea. Zhang Tingshu's tank division was no exception. The roaring beasts easily crossed the Yalu River, ready to show off their skills.
, Jiang Dengxuan and Sun Anhu personally reported to Fengtian, reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan, and requested instructions for the next step.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, our army has successfully crossed the Yalu River. It has now penetrated 20 kilometers into North Korea, and more than 17,000 soldiers have entered North Korea. The initial goal of crossing the river has been fully achieved!"
Rong Zhen excitedly reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan. Due to his outstanding performance during the march into the northwest, Rong Zhen's talent was recognized by Fengjun's senior officials and he was transferred to the staff department. This time, Rong Zhen formulated a battle plan against Japan.
He made a lot of very valuable suggestions.
Zhang Tinglan was also happy when she heard his report: "I didn't expect the action to be so fast. It's really unexpected. What are the casualties?"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the loss of the First Division, which was responsible for the main offensive mission, was less than 300 people. It can be said to be minimal. The main reason is that our action in this battle was sudden and the Japanese were not prepared at all. They only had one group of defenders, and we were
Easily defeated."
"Rong Zhen, why do you think the Japanese are so negligent to the Yalu River defense line?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. I think this is caused by their arrogance and arrogance." Rong Zhen said without hesitation: "They believe in their own strength and think that only Japan can attack China. But we don't have the guts to fight back. But we do the opposite.
If you follow the path, you can achieve the victory in front of you."
Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "That's a good point, but we only have the advantage now and have not yet won a real victory. Go and send a telegram to Sun Anhu and the others. Don't care about the gains and losses of the land, but focus on annihilating Japan's effective forces. If it really hurts, it will hurt.
Destroy Japan. Strive to eliminate one or two more divisions and completely shake the Japanese ruling order in Korea."
After Rong Zhen heard Zhang Tinglan's order, he immediately understood the commander's plan. The purpose of sending troops to North Korea was to spread the war to the outside and force Japan to come to the negotiating table, rather than to seize the land. The only way is to eliminate more Japanese and let Japan
Only by knowing that there is no hope if we continue fighting can we achieve our goals.
Zhang Tinglan's order was issued in a very timely manner. After discussion with everyone on the front line, they immediately determined the next combat strategy. Several main divisions, plus cavalry units, formed a fan shape, radiating to all sides. If they encountered a strong stronghold, they would
Immediately make a detour, do not ask for a forceful attack, try to separate the Japanese garrison, and then look for opportunities to annihilate them.
The person who was most satisfied with this combat plan was Zhang Tingshu. Cutting and outflanking was the armored division's strength. Therefore, when the tanks arrived in North Korea, Zhang Tingshu was eager to prepare for departure.
At this time, Yang Yuting took the initiative to find him: "Weijiu, there are many mountains and hills in North Korea. If the armored troops want to have the greatest effect, they must pay attention to the terrain. I suggest you go south as soon as possible, capture the Turtle City and Dingzhou lines, and cut off Pyongyang and Pyongyang.
Contact between Sinuiju and strive to encircle and annihilate the 20th Division."
The direction Yang Yuting was referring to was the relatively flat southern area of North Korea, which is also the area with the most developed industry in North Korea and the largest Japanese military garrison and investment. Zhang Tingshu has long been familiar with the map of North Korea. Indeed, what Yang Yuting pointed out
This direction is the only area in North Korea suitable for large-scale use of tanks.
"Chief of Staff, your vision is really vicious. Don't worry, I will make the little devil look good!" Zhang Tingshu said with confidence.
Yang Yuting asked Wu Kaijie to lead the cavalry to follow Zhang Tingshu. Together they formed a rapid assault group and moved in from north to south.
In addition, Jiang Dengxuan led the 3rd Division and the 15th Division from Jiangjie and went straight to Sinpo. The so-called Sinpo is an important town on the northern side of the Korean Peninsula near the Sea of Japan. There is a railway passing through it and it can reach Seoul directly.
Feng Jun set up an attack formation, and the troops quickly developed in depth. One after another, important towns fell into Feng Jun's hands. The Japanese suddenly became ants on a hot pot, extremely anxious, but unable to save the situation.
.
Their arrangement on the Korean Peninsula is a bit like a dumbbell. To the north is the 19th Division, which is fighting Fengjun on the border between China, Russia and North Korea. Another focus is Sinuiju in the south, where the main force of the 20th Division is.
Got here.
As for the vast area in the middle, the Japanese deployed very few troops and were unable to stop the Fengjun army. Seeing the Fengjun army like a flood, anyone who dared to stop it would be ruthlessly destroyed.
The current Governor-General of North Korea is Admiral Saito Minoru. When he got the news that Fengjun broke through the Yalu River and launched an attack on the Korean Peninsula, he was immediately frightened. The old man didn't want to believe it was true, but one after another bad things happened.
When the news came through, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Saito Minoru secretly estimated the strength at hand. There was less than one brigade of Japanese troops in Seoul, and most of the brigade were Koreans. Not only was their combat effectiveness worrisome, Saito also couldn't believe them.
The Fengjun army was coming with a fierce force, and this number of men and horses was definitely not enough. Although there was a third division, it was still in Busan at this time, and one division might not be able to do it. The old man immediately thought of asking for help from Tokyo.
But the princes in Tokyo were even more surprised than Saito. Especially Tanaka Giichi, he simply did not believe that Fengjun would abandon Luda and attack North Korea. This was completely unreasonable.
The war was already raging. Tanaka still firmly believed that this was a trick of the Chinese to divert Japan's attention. But after Jiangjie was captured, he finally woke up. That's right! Fengjun wanted to attack North Korea.
However, after realizing this, it was too late. The four main divisions were sent to Luda. If they wanted to transfer them back, it would not only be troublesome, but also not enough time. The only way was to mobilize troops from the country, but other divisions
The regiment has not yet completed mobilization, and the war material gap is also very large. It cannot be mobilized quickly to support the front line.
They wanted to kill the thief but were unable to save the day! The Tokyo side was left with such a sigh. Not only could they not send any reinforcements, but they also asked Minoru Saito to use the power at their hands to hold on for seven days and wait for the arrival of the main Japanese force.
As soon as he heard the news, Saito Minoru almost vomited blood. The bureaucrats in Tokyo simply didn't know the situation on the battlefield. The Fengjun army was advancing so fast. If we waited for seven days, I was afraid that the areas along the Yalu River and even Pyongyang would fall into the hands of the Fengjun army.
Well, half of the good Korean Peninsula was occupied by Fengjun.
After much deliberation, Saito had only one solution, and that was to desperately withdraw the soldiers from the front line, rebuild the defense line, and stop the Feng army from moving south.
This idea is very good, but it is not the case at all when implemented. It had already collapsed, and when the order to retreat was given, the soldiers' fighting spirit disappeared. They only wanted to escape quickly, and the retreat turned into a rout. The soldiers rushed to get there.
Running south is completely desperate.
Faced with the collapse of the Japanese army, Jiang Dengxuan couldn't believe it at first, for fear that this was a arrogant trick of the Japanese, but he soon figured out the situation. The so-called 19th and 20th divisions were not all
The Japanese, including a large number of Koreans, were the so-called Korean divisions.
This group of Japanese soldiers are following behind the Japanese. If the battle goes smoothly, their combat effectiveness will be no worse than that of the front-line divisions. However, if they encounter setbacks, these Japanese soldiers will not be reliable. Especially not long after the Korean volunteer movement ended, both sides
There was also a barrier. As soon as they saw the Japanese defeated, these Koreans fled secretly. Some even took off their military uniforms and turned around to attack the Japanese.
After understanding this situation, Jiang Denxuan pursued the enemy even more unscrupulously. Saito Minoru's order also had a very bad result, which was to put the main force of the 19th Division into unprecedented passivity.
The 19th Division had previously captured Zhanggufeng and was advancing in depth. As a result, Qin Wei commanded the Feng Army to break through the Yalu River from the direction of Tumen and thrust into their rear. The person originally responsible for guarding this area was the 20th Division.
A regiment of the division, they are fighting to the death with Feng Jun to buy time for the 19th Division.
As a result, after the retreat order was issued, the regiment had no choice but to run away. Qin Wei led the army, as if entering an uninhabited country, and successfully occupied Luojin in less than two days. At this time, the 19th
The two main regiments of the division, the 73rd and 74th regiments, had just crossed the Tumen River and wanted to withdraw to Seoul. As a result, their retreat was cut off. They suddenly became lonely ghosts and were in an unprecedented situation.
Oops.
Fengjun's men and horses were all on the front, rear and left. They fell into the encirclement. Qin Wei was also overjoyed. Although Fengjun had already eliminated the Sixth Division, the ability to eliminate a standing division in an organized manner would still have an impact on Japan.
Huge, and it can better show the strength of Fengjun to the world.
Everyone knows that injured beasts are the most dangerous. In this state, the 19th Division is also the easiest to fight, so it must be fully prepared. Qin Wei commanded the 7th Division and deployed a dense army in Luojin
line of defense, and also collected tens of thousands of sticks to build roads and transport supplies.
Just when everything was almost ready, the 19th Division finally bumped into them. They knew there was a trap here, but they had no choice. This was the only way to survive. Only by fighting to the death could they have a chance.
The battle became intense from the beginning. After a brief artillery preparation, the Japanese shouted slogans onboard and launched a tidal charge.
What the Japanese are best at is breaking through the middle. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means relying on firepower and the energy to fight without fear of death. Qin Wei has already figured out the three axes of the Japanese. If it is other divisions,
Perhaps we should be wary of three points. A division in which North Koreans make up the majority is not worth fearing.
The Fengjun army concentrated its artillery fire and launched a fierce bombardment with the Japanese. Because the Fengjun army's heavy artillery had a long range and great power, it knocked out half of the Japanese artillery in less than an hour.
The firepower dropped sharply, and the charging Japanese soldiers were unlucky. Fengjun concentrated machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers to form a fire blockade. As long as they entered the range, they would be sieved and beaten into pieces.
Debris. The corpses on the ground accumulated more and more, like a hill. The Japanese could only step on the corpses of the people in front and rush upward. The thick blood stimulated their nerves.
Just when the two sides were fighting at a critical moment, Fengjun's 11th Division finally rushed over. They had been suppressed and beaten by the Japanese these days, and even Zhang Gufeng was occupied by the Japanese. Each of them felt in their hearts
They were all holding back a sense of resentment. Why were they fighting so hard when other troops were able to win every time?
Seeing the sudden retreat of the Japanese, the opportunity the soldiers had been waiting for to vent their anger finally came. They chased after the Japanese and killed them.
With their joining, a two-sided attack situation has been formed. In addition to them, Hou Lang, who has made great achievements in the Far East, also led a cavalry brigade to attack. The three troops surrounded the 19th Division.
The battle was extremely fierce. The Japanese struggled to death. Many wounded soldiers simply fired grenades and died together with Feng Jun. The explosions that sounded on the battlefield made everyone feel chilled.
Facing a desperate enemy, the way to defeat them is to be even more desperate. The soldiers of the 11th Division also became crazy. They braved the rain of Japanese bullets and made bold insertions, cutting the Japanese on the battlefield into pieces.
At this time, Hou Lang took advantage of the speed of the cavalry and trampled them all into pieces.
The battle lasted for about a day and a half, and the main force of the 19th Division was wiped out. The news spread quickly throughout the world.
