In various battlefields in the Far East and Korea, the An family army was like a fierce and powerful evil dragon with fangs and claws, rolling forward and constantly devouring its opponents. ""
The troops took turns to replace each other and chased after the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not even have a chance to breathe and complained endlessly. Fighting broke out anytime and anywhere.
The Korean battlefield was advancing at an extremely fast pace. In less than two weeks, the Western Front in charge of Gu Changfeng had successfully captured the defense lines of the Qingchuan River and Datong River held by the Japanese army, occupied Yichuan, Pyongyang, Punan and other cities, and spread the war to Shali.
On the eastern front commanded by Li Jinlong, the troops are more dispersed and have more areas to be responsible for. However, due to the modern communication network, several armies are now smoothly joining forces on the Gangchonseong and Hamhung lines, and are currently advancing towards Wonsan.
As the Japanese army coerced a large number of North Korean people to flee south, a small number of local people hid in the mountains and old forests, waiting for the situation to stabilize. Wherever the Anjiajun entered the North Korean army, there were ten rooms and nine empty houses. Although this was not conducive to the Anjiajun collecting food and grass on the spot.
, but it also reduces the friction between the troops and the local people caused by language barriers or different customs, and avoids the occurrence of hatred caused by direct confrontation with the new generation who have been brainwashed by Japanese militarism.
On the evening of October 1st, in Huangzhou, on the north bank of Guangzhou Sichuan in central Korea, a troop had finished resting and had dinner. The dining car was still being packed up. Tanks, wheeled and tracked armored vehicles and various types of transport trucks had already
They gradually gathered in the wilderness near the highway.
The messengers rode two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles to and from various assembly points to convey orders from their superiors.
The company-level officers at the grassroots level have actually received the order from the battalion headquarters via phone, but the necessary procedures still need to be carried out. After signing their names on the order transmission letter, these company-level officers immediately summoned their subordinates.
The platoon leader and squad leader held meetings, deployed operations, and everything was in order.
Half an hour later, night had completely fallen.
"Set off--"
On a Leopard II tank equipped with a communication antenna, Lieutenant An Jiajun, wearing a black armor uniform, shouted into the microphone. As his raised right hand slowly lowered, more than a dozen Leopard II tanks were running with powerful engines.
Amidst the roaring sound, it slowly moved, and a faint green smoke filled with the smell of oil suddenly filled the air around this armored force.
Following closely behind this tank company was another tank company.
Not far away, an armored company equipped with armored fighting vehicles, personnel carriers, I assault guns, I tank destroyers and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles has also been activated. ""
Further away, a large force with a large number of trucks, self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers, towed artillery and anti-aircraft artillery slowly began to move.
Amidst the constant sounds of "advance", more and more tanks, armored combat vehicles and vehicles entered the road, but surprisingly, congestion did not occur. Under the careful organization of the Anjia Army's Political Department and Logistics Department,
Under the high-wattage electric lights powered by diesel generators, the military police directing traffic constantly waved various flags and dispatched vehicles.
The rolling traffic drove forward along the highway for about a quarter of an hour, and then under the command of the military police, they began to cross the Guangzhou River, and then continued to move south. They will have breakfast at Shaliyuan tomorrow morning, replacing the people heading towards
The friendly forces that launched the offensive on the Ruixing River defense line between Wufeng Mountain and Mie'e Mountain served as the assault arrow for the entire army.
There are two roads from Shaliyuan to Kaicheng, one goes east, passes through Xinyuanli, Ruixing, and Xinmu, turns at Nanshandian and goes south, from Pingshan, Hanpu, Jinchuan to Kaicheng. The other line is
It first went south, then turned east at Haizhou, and pushed towards Kaesong. The task of this tank regiment was to take the first route, from Ruixing, Pingshan to Kaesong.
Under the cover of night, a river flashes with countless small spots of light, surging towards the south in a turbulent way.
Although it has been confirmed that there are no Japanese aviation units participating in the war in North Korea and the Far East, in order to ensure that they are not discovered by possible Japanese reconnaissance planes or gliders traveling at night, the Anjiajun Air Force has still increased its air defense and interception capabilities, including vehicle-mounted radars, high-altitude airship radars,
Under the joint action of frontline personnel observation points and radio monitoring stations, it is simply impossible for the Japanese reconnaissance planes and gliders to obtain intelligence quietly!
The troops marched extremely smoothly.
...
In Pingshan, more than 100 kilometers southeast of Huangzhou, the highway is also crowded with moving vehicles and people.
The bright waning moon covered the earth with a layer of silver ash, and the Japanese troops retreating from Pyongyang formed a winding river, rolling toward the south.
In order to prevent the omnipresent air raids by the Anjia Army, transport trucks turned off their lights and drove forward. On the mountains on both sides of the road, the Japanese infantry were panting and staggering, but in order to escape for their lives, no one could speak.
"The Chinese Air Force!"
"Air strike!"
"Pay attention to air defense!"
Panic-stricken shouts suddenly came from the north and quickly spread along the team to the south. Almost in the blink of an eye, the team was in chaos. The Japanese soldiers hid in the nearby grassland and woods. The vehicles on the road panicked and took the road.
Traffic accidents occur frequently, with horns blaring and scoldings converging into a scene of chaos. (《》7*
When more than a dozen mosquito bombers flew over the Japanese army, the commotion in the Japanese army quickly subsided. The Anjiajun pilots, who found nothing unusual, began to drop bombs based on their feelings.
However, good luck does not accompany Anjiajun all the time. Under such visibility, the ground is dark from the air, and he can only vaguely see the outline of the terrain. He does not know where the opponent is hiding, so naturally he cannot take aim.
Some of the aerial bombs that fell were far away from the road, and the few that fell on the road did not accidentally detonate vehicles loaded with fuel or ammunition. The flames that shot up into the sky were quickly extinguished without a carrier, leaving only curling smoke columns.
The fleet circled in the sky and found no movement, so they continued flying south, preparing to bomb Jinchuan and Kaicheng in front. It was obviously a good deal to disrupt the retreat of the Japanese army while detecting intelligence.
As the planes left in the sky, the Japanese soldiers jumped out of their hiding places one after another. Then there were sharp whistles and shouts. The truck soldiers began to shout loudly and push out the cars that had rushed into the woods and hid in the woods beside the road.
There was a chaotic and noisy scene everywhere.
The impact of such an air raid, which would come again soon, was obviously much greater than the damage caused by the bomb itself. It took a long time for the chaos on the road and the mountains on both sides to be stopped.
Subsequently, officials at all levels began to assign personnel to search for survivors near the explosion point.
The grassroots lieutenants, commanders, sergeants and corps commanders took their soldiers back to the mountain road or the road to conduct roll call and organize the team. However, on the road section where the traffic accident occurred, the Japanese soldiers had to push the accident vehicle to the side of the road and wait for maintenance personnel.
Repair it urgently, or blast it after the troops have retreated.
This noisy process lasted for about twenty minutes before the troops got back on the road.
What a bumpy road back south.
...
At one o'clock in the morning, on the front line of Xinyuanli on the west bank of the Ruixing River, the First Tank Regiment of the 23rd Tank Division under the Fifth Tank Army was advancing eastward at high speed.
The Datong River and Ruixing River areas are rare coastal plain areas on the Korean Peninsula. In the open wilderness, the mechanized troops of the Anjia Army easily destroyed several blocking positions deployed by the Japanese army east of the Ruixing River. Those who tried to delay Anjia
The Japanese soldiers who were on the offensive did not even understand what was happening before they were knocked to the ground by the cannons and machine guns of the Anjia Army tanks and armored fighting vehicles.
Immediately afterwards, the two main tank battalions of the First Tank Regiment, together with the two armored infantry battalions, surged forward and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese bridgehead position east of the Ruixing River with lightning speed.
Time has entered autumn, more than a month has passed since the heavy rains in July and August, and the dry season on the Korean Peninsula has arrived. As a river that is seriously affected by the seasons, the river surface is more than a hundred meters wide in summer, and now it has only narrowed to
Twenty to thirty meters, and the water in some sections of the river is only up to the knees. According to feedback from the scouts, even trucks can wade through the river after it enters autumn and winter.
The railway bridge on the river had been demolished as early as late July in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese base camp. However, in order to facilitate the evacuation of its troops, the Japanese army built a bridge on the river with sandbags piled as piers and logs as the deck.
A simple bridge is enough for ordinary vehicles to pass, but light and heavy tanks need to wade across the river.
As a large number of troops and civilians evacuated from northern North Korea, the Japanese army used sandbags to pave the two sides for temporary passage of vehicles when the main bridge was damaged by bombs dropped by the Anjiakong Air Force.
With regard to the situation of this river and the Japanese army's response, the Anjia army used various reconnaissance methods such as aerial photography, interrogation of prisoners, and on-site inspections by scouts to gain an in-depth and detailed understanding of the situation. The order given to the division commander was very targeted: get ahead of the Japanese army.
Capture these simple facilities in one fell swoop before they are destroyed to ensure the efficiency of deep assault operations!
Facing the Anjia Army's offensive force consisting of more than a hundred tanks and a large number of armored vehicles rolling in, about a brigade of Japs guarding the bridgehead position felt that the sky was about to collapse, but they were supported by the spirit of bushido and the concept of loyalty to the emperor.
Hold the line.
At this time, the Japanese field artillery, mountain artillery and anti-aircraft artillery deployed on the other side of the Ruixing River began to fire frequently to thwart the Anjia army's attack. Unfortunately, although the moon was bright in the sky, visibility was still seriously insufficient, and the frequently fired shells did not reach the target.
The tanks of the Anjia Army posed too great a threat. Instead, the infantry rocket launchers urgently transported from Japan caused damage to the tanks and armored fighting vehicles in the offensive formation of the Anjia Army. Two tanks were hit and stopped emitting thick smoke.
Moving forward, four more armored fighting vehicles were hit by rockets and burst into flames.
However, the number of Japanese rocket launchers was too small. There were less than ten on the entire front. Once a rocket was fired, the tank guns, machine guns, and machine guns immediately knew the direction. A dense rain of bullets fell on the target area.
The Japs operating the bazookas blew up the bodies to pieces.
A large number of Leopard II tanks, relying on their relatively thick armor and high speed, are constantly approaching the enemy's bridgehead position. Their 105mm tank guns, directional and coaxial machine guns, suppress the firepower points on the Japanese positions, and a large number of armored fighting vehicles and personnel carriers.
The swarming, cannons, and machine guns put tremendous pressure on the Japanese army.
As the armored infantry on the armored personnel carriers began to dismount and attack with the tanks and armored fighting vehicles, the Anjia Army's skilled infantry-tank coordination tactics easily defeated the Japanese suicide attack tactics, carrying a large number of bundles of grenades and improvised weapons.
The Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the trenches with gasoline bombs filled in various containers were often swept to the ground by Anjia army officers and soldiers with automatic rifles before they took two steps forward. When the Anjia army's tanks and armored fighting vehicles were unstoppable from the Japanese bridgehead
While crushing them on the position, the armored infantry used their fastest speed to clean up the remaining Japanese troops on the position, ensuring that the tanks crossed the Japanese west bank position unscathed and rushed down the river.
While the tanks and armored fighting vehicles were swimming across the river, they encountered strong resistance from the other side of the river. At this time, the Japanese army went crazy and concentrated all their anti-tank firepower and fired wildly to delay the Anjia army's offensive.
Two more Leopard II tanks ran aground in the river, and four armored fighting vehicles were directly hit by anti-tank shells and turned into burning fireballs. As well as assault guns, tank destroyers, and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles that followed the attack, they all stopped at the river.
The newly occupied West Bank suppressed the Japanese artillery bombardment, and the air was full of fire and meteors.
When the first batch of Leopard II tanks and armored fighting vehicles arrived on the east coast, the battlefield situation quickly became clear, and the Japanese infantry and artillery positions were lost one after another.
At this time, the Anjia Army's flexible tactics worked again. While tanks and armored fighting vehicles were attacking the enemy from the front, they also separated troops to outflank the enemy from the left and right wings. Half an hour later, the roundabout troops successfully closed up and cut off the Japanese army's retreat.
The Japanese army, which was attacked from both sides, was at a loss. Around 5 o'clock in the morning, most of them were wiped out, and a small number surrendered. Then the troops entered Ruixing City, where only a small number of Japanese troops were guarding, and waited for follow-up troops to arrive to replace the attack.
This was a textbook-like war of annihilation that could often be seen on the battlefields throughout Korea and the Far East. It was this series of small victories that accumulated into big victories that turned the orderly retreat of the Japanese army into a complete rout.
The ground pushed the war deeper and deeper.
