Among the ruins of Dingzhou, the Japanese army shuttled back and forth, constantly firing bullets at Fengjun. Their shooting skills were indeed superb, and soldiers kept falling to the ground. Fortunately, Fengjun had enough armored vehicles this time, and tanks once again acted as
Played the role of human shield.
The Japanese army generally lacks anti-tank weapons. The Type 38 rifles in their hands are almost like scratching the armor of tanks. Soon Fengjun followed the plan and cut the Japanese army in Dingzhou into several pieces. Then
Like a steak, eat it piece by piece.
After two days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army had been compressed into a small area, with less than a thousand remaining troops. Division commander Shimokawa Shinichiro was completely desperate. The navy did not dare to risk being attacked by submarines and aircraft.
Come to rescue them, the total destruction of the army is inevitable.
He could only take out his saber, it was time for a caesarean section, but as he wiped the cold-gleaming saber, his hands kept shaking and his eyes were dull. This army lieutenant general who could regard other people's lives as nothing, at this time
It’s so scary that the only option is death!
Boom! Another artillery shell fell next to the headquarters. There was a loud noise that shook the headquarters back and forth. Faintly, it seemed that shouts of killing could be heard. Shimokawa finally came to his senses at this time, and his wrists softened.
, the general's sword fell to the ground. The sword now became a poisonous snake and beast, and he never dared to touch it again.
Shimochuan, who was sweating profusely, could only grab the fan beside him, make a scratch on his stomach, and then let his men shoot him to death with a gun.
The division commander Shimokawa Shinichiro died, and the 20th Division was completely at its end. The remaining junior officers, with their men, launched a desperate charge against Fengjun. In the end, they were all beaten into a sieve, and Dingzhou
The battle was completely over. Fengjun added another division to his credit book.
At this time, Sun Anhu and Jiang Dengxuan also rushed to Dingzhou. The southern and central lines merged together, holding the most powerful troops. They were also full of confidence. Sun Anhu said with a smile: "The little devil is nothing special.
Three divisions are dead in our hands. I wonder if we should send a request to the commander-in-chief and charge south directly. We will take Seoul in one fell swoop."
When Jiang Dengxuan heard this, he was a little tempted. Now the three major armies of the Fengjun Army have a total strength of close to more than 150,000. They have bombers and tanks, which can be said to be a strong force. On the Japanese side, there is only a third division that has just been transferred.
The disparity is obvious. And with the majesty of a great victory, Fengjun fought all the way to Busan and captured the entire Korean Peninsula at a time when his morale was at its highest!
In fact, anyone who knows history knows the significance of the Korean peninsula to China's national defense. In history, whenever Korea was invaded, China would definitely send troops. Even as cowardly as the Manchus, they still had to fight with the Japanese because of Korea.
Place is so important.
The peninsula is like a gun on China's forehead. If it is in the hands of the enemy, even if the enemy does not shoot, China will be frightened, restless, and in panic all day long.
Now that there was an opportunity to invade North Korea, the generals of Fengjun were eager to try. Sun Anhu and Jiang Dengxuan, on behalf of the forward command, sent the telegram to Zhang Tinglan.
"Brother Baili, Linge, what do you think of this telegram?" Zhang Tinglan asked with a smile.
Yang Yuting thought for a while and said: "Commander, the situation in North Korea at this time is indeed extremely beneficial to us. It seems unjustifiable to miss the opportunity. However, if we want to develop to the south, attack Seoul, or even fight to Busan and drive the Japanese into the sea, I am afraid it will not be possible."
It’s not that easy.”
Jiang Baili couldn't help but said: "In terms of military strength, there is no problem in fighting southward, but as the front extends, the logistical pressure increases exponentially, and due to the terrain of the Korean Peninsula, surrounded by seas on three sides, we must always
To guard against the Japanese combined fleet, how many artillery and air forces are needed to ensure safety is probably an astronomical figure."
In fact, in the final analysis, it still lacks strength. If Fengjun is prepared for another two or three years, the logistics vehicles can be organized, and the formation of three tank divisions can be completed, it is not impossible to seize the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop, but it is still insufficient at the moment.
.
But to be honest, Zhang Tinglan was not willing to give up the opportunity in front of him. He stared at the map in front of him, trying to find any loopholes he could exploit.
At this moment, Rong Zhen suddenly ran over in a panic, with an extremely anxious look on his face: "Commander, the situation is not good, the Japanese combined fleet bombarded Yuanshan!"
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he stood up suddenly. Just when Fengjun destroyed the 20th Division, Qin Wei led his troops to attack Wonsan, which is one of the most important ports in North Korea.
First, it is the most prosperous and rich, and the materials seized are quite amazing.
Qin Wei also planned to take a short rest here and then wait for further orders from the headquarters. Of course, according to his wishes, it would be best to attack Seoul directly along the railway and join the other two legions below the city. This is definitely a sign of Fengjun.
A rare occasion.
But while they were resting, a Japanese fleet also quietly crossed the Sea of Japan and approached Wonsan Port. Compared with the dangerous Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, the Sea of Japan is simply a footbath for the Japanese, and they are very concerned about the hydrological environment.
Familiar to the extreme, a bombardment formation composed of ten warships took advantage of the darkness and approached Wonsan Port.
Just when most of the Feng troops were still sleeping, the Japanese fleet suddenly launched a fierce bombardment. The combined fleet was indeed the most powerful navy in Asia at this time. Its quality was indeed superior. Although it was covered by night, they could still pass through.
The faint light spots in the city determined the direction of the attack, and the artillery fire was accurate and precise.
Cannonballs fell into the city one after another, and the terrifying power of the naval guns was revealed. Buildings collapsed in pieces, and fire quickly jumped up, engulfing the city.
Qin Wei, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened. He also knew that the situation was not good, and his staff quickly reported the situation and asked for instructions.
Qin Wei's face was as dark as water, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Order the brothers to withdraw from Yuanshan and go to a safe area to wait for orders."
During the assault, the Northern Front Army was so fast that it almost created a miracle on the battlefield. However, they sacrificed a lot for the sake of speed, especially the heavy firepower that could not keep up. It was also late at night and the air force could not be dispatched. Qin
Wei could only endure the pain and choose to avoid the edge temporarily.
However, one thing is worth pointing out. Since he had been in the Jianghu in his early years, Qin Wei knew very well that he had to be vigilant at all times. Therefore, when he stationed in Yuanshan, all the military camps were located in hidden locations and had strict lighting control.
It just looks like a dark patch.
As for the residences of the Koreans, there were still some lights, so during the bombardment, a large number of artillery shells fell into the city center, killing many Koreans in the city. On the contrary, the Feng army suffered limited losses.
But once counted, there were more than 200 casualties, and what was even more terrible was that a cannonball fell into the garage, and thirty jeeps were blown up. This made Qin Wei very distressed. He was able to achieve a rapid advance all because of these
Although the simple yet powerful vehicle has only been used for a short period of time, the entire Feng army has completely fallen in love with the jeep. Many soldiers simply slept with the vehicle for fear that something might go wrong.
The Japanese blew up thirty vehicles at once, and many precious drivers were sacrificed, which drove Qin Wei crazy. But at this time, his mind was still very calm. The next step for the troops was the most important thing.
Need to care.
The situation was sent to Zhang Tinglan, and he also felt bad: "The joint fleet can attack Wonsan, which means that all the cities along the Sea of Japan are unsafe. The Japanese can attack the railway line at any time, allowing the Northern Line Army to
Loss of logistical support.”
Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Indeed, the assault was too fast and the sequelae have emerged. The plan for the three armies to join forces in Seoul has been impossible to realize. Let Qin Wei lead his army to go south to Pyongyang immediately. The current task is to capture Pyongyang and form a formation with the Japanese.
In the situation of confrontation between the north and the south, after stabilizing the rear, we can then make progress!" Zhang Tinglan agreed to Jiang Baili's suggestion without hesitation, but he added: "The combined fleet is a serious concern for us. If our submarines cannot pass through the Sea of Japan, then we will
Let the Air Force be prepared to take a piece of flesh from the Japanese!"
On the battlefield, Zhang Tinglan also had a vindictive character, and there was no way he could take advantage of himself! Moreover, if the combined fleet gained the upper hand and bombarded everywhere unscrupulously, wouldn't the coastal areas all suffer? Zhang Tinglan was not willing to bear the consequences.
The high command also immediately issued an order to Feng Yong, asking him to mobilize air power and prepare an attack plan. Just as Fengjun was quickly mobilizing troops, Fengtian's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also received a strongly worded protest.
It was the British who issued the protest. It turned out that when Chen Shaokuan was commanding a submarine attack, he sank the Heath, a 10,000-ton cargo ship. This ship belonged to the British, and they took this name to complain to Fengjun.
A strong protest was issued, demanding that Fengjun severely punish the perpetrators and pay compensation to the British.
Since it was involved in an international dispute, Gu Weijun did not dare to make any independent claims and hurriedly reported to Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan also frowned after receiving the report.
"Humph, now and then, after the great war, the empire's gold content has not been much. It is just a stinker. If it offends me, even Britain will not let it go!"
Zhang Tinglan said this, but he did not want to make too many enemies, so he said: "We can make appropriate compensation, but this is only humanitarian compensation, not because we have done something wrong. British ships transporting supplies to the Japanese are already intervening in the war.
His behavior deserves death!"
"Sorry, I can't say that. I don't think this protest is that simple." Yang Yuting said worriedly from the side: "The British are best at offshore balancing. Could this be their method?"
