Three hundred and sixtieth chapters choose the right time
Even if the Japanese army relied on the mountains, it would be difficult for the artillery-proof caves they dug to withstand such a shell. Even if they could not be blasted through, there would still be no problem in blowing up the entrance of the cave and sealing the Japanese troops inside. In Gaotaishan
In the battle with Wenhuili, this 160mm heavy mortar battalion played a decisive role in fire support.
Its destructive shooting at the Japanese fortifications and artillery holes on the positive slope, as well as the suppression and destructive shooting of the Japanese positions on the reverse slope, ensured that the main attacking force could complete the clearing of the Japanese defenders on the positive slope within half a day and occupy all the high ground.
The main position on the main slope of Taishan. Many Japanese soldiers were not killed by bombings, but because the entrance of the anti-gun cave was collapsed by such heavy mortars, and they were buried alive in the cave where they saved their lives.
And just when Lieutenant General Akiyama Yidui was in a hurry because Yang Jicai's latest tactics disrupted the entire defense system, he mobilized troops to desperately reinforce Gaotaishan and Wenhuili. In the Gaotaishan and Wenhuili battlefields where the fighting was in full swing,
Attracting the attention of the 137th Division and most of its mobile forces.
In the mountainous area east of the Cheorwon battlefield, a battalion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance avoided the Japanese positions along the road from Cheorwon to Yeoncheon. It used the front line of Cheorwon to tear open the gaps in the Japanese defenses. Along the easternmost part of the Cheorwon battlefield
Due to the fate, it suddenly penetrated directly into the headquarters of the 137th Division and the entire Cheorwon battlefield and the Japanese logistics base Yeoncheon.
This battalion is the last battalion that Yang Jicai has been holding in his hands and has never been used. And Yang Jicai has been holding this battalion, just waiting for this opportunity. He did not expect this battalion to be able to capture Liancuan. But as long as this battalion reaches Lianchuan
The Sichuan front line, even if it is only limited to the periphery, will tear apart the overall deployment of the 137th Division even more.
On the far flank of the 137th Division, a fatal knife was inserted. Although it was somewhat risky to allow this battalion to penetrate alone. But in Yang Jicai's view, as long as the Japanese deployment can be torn apart on a larger scale, it will be completely removed from the root.
It was worth taking the risk to defeat the Japanese defense system.
When the battalion appeared on the outskirts of Yeoncheon, Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshitori and the division's chief of staff, Colonel Mihara Shichiro, were caught off guard. Yeoncheon, which was only defended by a baggage regiment and the division's guard squadron, could not hold on
It changed hands within an hour. At least Major Lima, the captain of the 137th Division's baggage regiment, was killed immediately, and the communications captain, Captain Ohara Yan, was captured immediately.
The large amount of ammunition and materials stored here, and most importantly, the poison gas bombs prepared for use on the Cheorwon battlefield, fell into the hands of the anti-alliance attacking troops. The entire division's communication system was completely disrupted, and the originally orderly battle situation was disrupted.
Like a snake that was hung upside down, the joints in its body were completely disconnected.
After capturing Yeoncheon, the battalion immediately turned around and penetrated the Japanese artillery position from behind. It used a company of troops to cooperate with the frontal attack troops to launch an attack on the front line of Gaodaishan. Under Yang Jicai's painstaking deployment, the entire south of Cheorwon
The battlefield, the front line of Gaotaishan, the core of the Japanese army, changed hands in just half a day.
After completing the capture of the Gaodaishan front line, the attacking troops did not stop there. They successively captured Sanglu-ri south of Gaodaishan, the Sindamri Railway Station, and the Sanjinghu front line. They pushed the front south to the Yeoncheon line, and
The Japanese independent 133rd Brigade on the flank facing Jinhua formed an encirclement situation.
Du Kaishan, who was commanding in Pingkang, had no time to report the situation opened by Yang Jicai, and ordered the First Division of the Korean Army's Independence Army west of Jinhua to immediately forcibly advance to the Hwachuan line. On the eastern front, he ordered the Fifth Independent Division and the easternmost
The 11th Division on the front line, and the two regiments of the 1st Independent Division and the 3rd Independent Division, increased the intensity of operations in front of Uijeongbu and Munsan.
Although No. 1 did not approve the previous plan, Du Kaishan, who was somewhat unwilling to give up, had been making preparations secretly. The divisions that had gone south before had never returned to their bases. As for the four brigades of the Korean Independence Army,
He was also secretly transferred from the second line to the west coast. These troops have always been in a first-level combat readiness situation, and there is no need to mobilize troops now to increase the offensive.
While mobilizing troops on a large scale, Du Kaishan's order to Sui Changqing was to capture the Uijeongbu if the time allowed. In conjunction with the Cheorwon battlefield that had already captured Yeoncheon, he opened the door for the Japanese to control Seoul, the Korean base camp southward, and directly moved the front
Advance to the entire periphery of Seoul.
By this time, except for the Fourth Armored Division, which has been controlled by the headquarters, Du Kaishan has mobilized almost all the troops he can mobilize in North Korea. According to his deployment adjustment plan, the generals originally limited to the headquarters will be directly transferred.
The scale of the battle is controlled at the division level and directly upgraded to the group army level.
Facing a favorable situation, Du Kaishan, unwilling to miss it, adjusted his deployment and reported it. Du Kaishan obviously made a time lag and wanted to use Yang Jicai on the Cheorwon front line to leverage the opportunity of a key point in the Japanese army's overall defense line.
A big fight in central Korea.
So he mobilized almost all the troops currently on the confrontation line, as well as all the troops he could mobilize, and he only started reporting after the troops here had begun to adjust their deployment. Unfortunately, the headquarters of the Fourth Armored Division stationed in North Korea has not mobilized him.
He could not mobilize the power without the approval of the headquarters. He could only watch an armored division sitting there, but he had no use for it.
Received Du Kaishan's battle report on the Cheorwon battlefield and the report on the adjustment and deployment of the entire central Korean battlefield. Although Du Kaishan repeatedly emphasized in the telegram the entire central Korean war situation and the fighter opportunities brought about by the changes in the Cheorwon battlefield situation. But Yang
Zhen Yiran could see through Du Kaishan's extremely unsettled heart at a glance.
If Yang Jicai had not pushed the battle line southward for more than ten kilometers in one breath, a protrusion was formed on the front of the Cheorwon battlefield. He also inserted a force directly into the flank of the enemy on the Jinhua battlefield, forming a bulge in the entire Cheorwon and Jinhua battlefield.
Given the extremely favorable situation, he may not be so courageous.
But now in the entire central Korea, Cheorwon has become a protruding point wedged into the Japanese army's front line, almost attracting the attention of the Japanese army in the entire central Korea. This guy's heart, which was not very peaceful in the first place, has returned.
I became restless. One nail may not kill the Japanese, but if we can take the opportunity to drive in a few more nails, the impact will definitely be very different.
He was also afraid that he would not agree, so he gave himself a blow first. I don’t know how this guy persuaded the stubborn Huang Yuqing to cooperate with him to do this. But after receiving the telegram, Yang Zhen was not angry.
It is obvious that Du Kaishan has chosen a good node in terms of timing.
The Jianghuai Campaign scheduled to be carried out by the central government in early April has entered the final preparation stage. In order to cooperate with this campaign, the central government requires the Northeast battlefield to take certain actions to distract the attention of the Japanese base camp and cooperate with the battle in the Guanhai battlefield. And the entire Northeast can cooperate
Currently, it only works in the direction of North Korea. If there is more noise on the Korean battlefield at this time, it would not be a bad thing.
After carefully reading Du Kaishan's plan again, Yang Zhen put down the telegram in his hand and turned his attention to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, what do you think of Du Kaishan's idea? If it is feasible, I think we can consider adding more Korean battlefields.
As for the deployment of troops, at least the reserve team is sufficient for him."
Regarding Yang Zhen's obvious agreement with Du Kaishan's words, Guo Bingxun smiled bitterly and said: "No. 1, you have already agreed in your heart now, I think that's it. Du Kaishan is afraid that we will not approve this time, so he will cut it off first and then tell it later. Maybe it's not right now
He has already launched a full-scale attack on the Korean battlefield, and even if we disagree now, it is too late to stop him."
Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "This Du Kaishan's vision is still a little too narrow, his eyes are just staring at the thing in his bowl. He has never thought that since he is transferred to the Korean battlefield, the headquarters will always let him
He is in North Korea and he is just going to make small troubles like this?"
"This guy doesn't even think about the current bearing capacity of the military region. He hastily launched a full-scale offensive before the time is ripe. If his actions in North Korea are postponed for one to two months, or even one month. No matter from that
From all aspects, the situation will be much more favorable."
"However, judging from the adjustment plan of the entire deployment after Yang Jicai arrived at the Tiewuan battlefield, as well as his performance on the battlefield in the past few days, we can see that he has truly matured. He is no longer as bold and daring as he used to be, but he is still somewhat mentally concerned.
He's so irritable. I think if he at least becomes a teacher commander, there won't be any problems."
After listening to Guo Bingxun's evaluation, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "So, Du Kaishan can only be a fierce general who charges forward. If he wants to be a head coach, this alone is probably beyond his reach. But this time he accidentally hit
It was an accidental collision, but it was a good opportunity.”
"If the central government hadn't asked us to make more noise in North Korea right now. Based on his actions this time, I would have to remove this guy. His strategic vision is a bit poor, and sometimes he considers issues too one-sided. This is also his fault.
The difference between Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang is that they still haven’t gone through big winds and waves, and their journey is too smooth.”
"If he had the chance to stay in the old Anti-League for a few years and experience more ups and downs, he would probably be much more mature than he is now. But judging from the current situation, he will never have this opportunity.
.The lack of a certain amount of experience, coupled with being too smooth sailing, also restricted the development of his vision."
"But one thing, he is right. The current situation in the Korean battlefield is indeed more favorable. When I transferred Yang Jicai to the Korean battlefield, I did not expect that it would play such a huge role in such a short period of time. This guy's move this time
The performance is quite impressive."
"The Cheorwon line is a key part of the battlefield in central Korea. Once this direction is moved, the entire battle situation in central Korea will undergo earth-shaking changes. This Dukaishan may be a bit immature in other aspects, but in terms of grasping the fighter opportunity, it is still
It has always been remarkable. The news he made in North Korea is exactly in line with the central government's requirements for us."
"Lao Guo, I see it like this. The Seventh Independent Division currently in Liaodong, as well as the Independent Ninth Division, the Independent Thirteenth Division, and the Twenty-seventh Division that have completed training, can now all enter North Korea as planned and serve as the North Korean cluster.
The second echelon. At the same time, the Second Paratrooper Division, which has been replenished, will be transferred to the Heichon line in North Korea to garrison."
"In past operations, the headquarters has always come up with combat plans and handed them over to the subordinates for execution. Today we were also led by the nose by the troops below. Although I feel a little uncomfortable, the fighter planes cannot be affected by our personal emotions.
Let it go. But I also want to remind Du Kaishan that when advancing south, pay attention to connecting with the supply line and be cautious."
"On both wings of the entire Korean battlefield, the main force of the Japanese Navy only has a few ships. It also has to deal with the US Navy, and there is no energy to deal with the Korean war situation. There is no need to worry about the danger of the Japanese landing from both wings and outflanking the entire battlefield. But
When advancing south, you must pay attention to the flank protection of each department. Don't let the Japanese fool you into an ambush, which will become a big joke."
