Of course, what shocked Dashanyan was that in addition to the fact that the defense line was easily broken through by the People's Army, the People's Army did not know how to use it to destroy five bridges on the Yalu River in one fell swoop, including two pontoon bridges that had just been erected and were far away from the mouth of the Yalu River. Now Dashanyan not only secretly regretted it in his heart, but knew that the People's Army had such a means, so he should have given up all his baggage and let the personnel cross the river as soon as possible. As a result, there are still about 160,000 troops and 300,000 logistics personnel on the west bank of the Yalu River. After all, equipment and everything is dead, talent is the most important, and most of the Japanese army is still on the west bank of the Yalu River, if it is completely annihilated by the People's Army, although the Japanese army is not completely annihilated, but it is also a great loss of vitality.

But now it's too late to regret it, first deal with the current predicament, the Japanese army originally did not plan to stay here for a long time, so there was no defense line around Jiulian City, fortunately, the 1st Army only crossed the river with one division, two brigades, the 2nd Division did not even have a brigade, and two brigades were stationed on the northern front, so at this time, a complete brigade and most of the brigade were left in Jiulian City, as well as two wings, about 15,000 troops, so Dashanyan also immediately ordered the remaining troops of the 1st Army to guard Jiulian City.

However, although the order was issued, Dashanyan's own heart star had no bottom, and it took the Bijing People's Army less than 1 hour to break through the outer defense line of the Japanese army, and now only rely on the remaining troops of the 1st Army to temporarily deploy defenses, how long can it stop the People's Army? Fortunately, the People's Army has only broken through on the southern front, and there has been no movement on the northern front, so Dashan'an ordered the logistics personnel to rush to Yaogou to gather first, and prepare boats and ropes to cross the river here. If the Japanese lose the battle, they immediately retreated north, gathered in the area of Yaogou, and managed to cross the river here.

It was originally the river section where the Japanese army erected the pontoon bridge, because there is an alluvial island in the middle of the river in this area, called Sun Island, the river road is divided into two streams here, the width of each river is only more than 300 meters, although the water flow is more rapid, but here it is more convenient to cross the river by boat or swim across the river. Moreover, the People's Army blew up the pontoon bridge from Sun Island to the west bank of the Yalu River, but did not destroy the pontoon bridge connecting the east bank, so as long as you can board Sun Island, you can reach the east bank of the Yalu River.

Of course, since the People's Army can destroy the pontoon bridges on the west bank, it can naturally destroy the pontoon bridges on the east bank, but now Dashanyan can't care about so much, and can send as many troops as they can across the river.

Before the arrangement of Dashan Rock was completed, the marines of the People's Army assaulted the surrounding area of Jiulian City and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

At this time, the Marine Corps actually only had two regiments, plus fire support units, and the total strength was only more than 8,000 people, while the Japanese army had 15,000 troops, even if the artillery and auxiliary soldiers were removed, the number of troops that could be used for direct combat exceeded 10,000, and the Japanese army was on the defensive end, and generally speaking, the offensive strength was more than the defense. But the KPA armoured forces were once again in force, and this time instead of charging in groups, they were divided into two groups and advanced separately. As a result, the Japanese defense line was torn to pieces very easily, and it once again proved that the armored generation mechanical unit was the king of war in the future.

The Marines also followed closely behind the armored fighting vehicles, quickly breaking through the gaps torn by the armored fighting vehicles, killing countless Japanese casualties, and the Japanese saw that they could not stop the attack of the People's Army, so they had to retreat one after another. Only a small part fled into Jiulian City, and the rest bypassed Jiulian City and fled in the direction of Yaogou.

At this time, the marines were also divided into two parts, one part was outside the city to sweep away the remnants of the Japanese resistance, and the other part broke into the city of Jiulian and smashed the Japanese headquarters.

Jiulian City is not a big city, the length and width of the city are only more than 200 meters, and the defenders in the city only have the guard troops of the Dashanyan Military Department, so the staff and staff officers all advised Dashanyan to leave Jiuliancheng as soon as possible and then make plans. In fact, at this time, if Dashanyan escaped to the Yalu River and found a boat, there was still a high chance of crossing the Yalu River.

However, Dashanyan refused the advice of his staff and staff officers, refused to leave Jiulian City, and only ordered his staff and staff officers to leave. It turned out that at this time, Dashan Yan was already gray in his heart, and he just wanted to stay in Jiulian City and die in the city, and he had no idea of escaping at all. Because the outcome of this battle has been doomed, the Japanese army will definitely suffer a major defeat, and the goal of allowing the Japanese army to withdraw safely to the Korean Peninsula is completely impossible to achieve. At that time, it is very likely that he will be used as a scapegoat by the country, and he will eventually be ruined. Therefore, if he died in Jiulian City, he could be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, and it was impossible for the country to use himself as a scapegoat.

The staff and staff officers tried to persuade them to no avail, but it was Dashanyan who, as the commander, ordered them to leave and try their best to escape the Yalu River, and at this time the gunfire became more and more dense, so the staff and staff officers did not dare to stay in Jiulian City for a long time, so they had to evacuate from Jiulian City and retreat in the direction of Yaogou, of course, there were also some staff and staff officers who were willing to stay and accompany Dashanyan to die in the city.

The People's Army entered Jiulian City, basically did not encounter any strong resistance, firstly, there were not many Japanese troops in Jiulian City, and secondly, the fighting spirit of the Japanese army was not high, so the stubborn resistance like in Liaoyang City did not appear at all, so the People's Army completely occupied Jiulian City at 1 o'clock in the morning on June 6, and found it in the Japanese army headquarters7. Eight corpses, one of which was dressed in a uniform very different from that of the others, at least of the rank of general, the cause of death was a punctured temple, and a pistol in his hand, which proved to be suicide, and the captives identified this person as Marshal Oyama Iwa, the commander of the Japanese Manchurian Army.

Just when the People's Army occupied Jiulian City, the Japanese army's southern defense line was also completely defeated, in fact, after the gap was torn open by the armored forces, the collapse of the Japanese defense line was a matter of time, so the commander of the Japanese 2nd Army Corps in charge of guarding the southern line, General Okuhoko, and the chief of staff, Major General Ochiai Toyozaburo, also decisively ordered to withdraw from the battlefield and retreat in the direction of Yaogou.

When the Japanese army retreated, the KPA also took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, not only killing a large number of Japanese soldiers, but also capturing many Japanese soldiers and Japanese logistics personnel.

By 4 a.m., the KPA had received good news that the 3rd Army had broken through Phoenix. The KPA's attack on Phoenix was the earliest, and the Japanese 4th Army Corps defending Phoenix had less than 40,000 troops, but the Japanese army had been preparing in Phoenix for a long time and had built a relatively complete defense system, which caused considerable difficulties for the KPA's attack.

In addition, the Phoenix City is far away from the main battlefield, and the news of the defeat on the side of Jiulian City came to Phoenix City very late, which allowed the defenders of Phoenix City to maintain a high fighting spirit for a long time, which naturally increased the difficulty of the People's Army's attack, fortunately, the 3rd Army had two trump cards, self-propelled artillery and towed artillery, so it relied on strong firepower, and it was hard to conquer the Japanese army's position little by little, and as a result, it took most of the night to break through the Japanese defense line, and the commander of the 4th Army, Nozu Michikan, and Chief of Staff Yusaku Uehara led the defeated army and retreated to the east, and was attacked by the People's Army that captured Jiulian City halfway, and was beaten to the collapse of almost the entire army, Nozu Michikani and Uehara Yusaku escaped from the battlefield at night, protected by a small number of elite troops.

After the continuous capture of Jiulian City and Phoenix City, the People's Army basically locked in the victory, but at this time the war was not completely over, after all, the number of Japanese troops was too large, even the logistics personnel, they also received some basic military training, so after being defeated by the Japanese army, the establishment was also completely disrupted, and the remaining Japanese troops and logistics personnel consciously or unconsciously divided into dozens of small groups, fighting separately, and the battlefield also showed a fragmented situation, extremely chaotic.

Because it was a night operation, even if the People's Army had drones and advanced communication equipment, it was difficult to ensure full control of the battlefield, and after a fierce battle, the establishment of the People's Army was also a little chaotic, and in addition, a lot of weapons and ammunition were consumed, so Luo Yue decided to temporarily stop the fighting, and only hold a few key points in Guanjian, while the troops were reorganized on the spot, re-established, and waited for dawn to look for the Japanese army. Anyway, now that all the bridges have been bombed, there is no fear that the Japanese army will be able to fly across the Yalu River. At the same time, Luo Yue also moved the headquarters to Jiulian City, which was also more commanding, and also sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the movement and distribution of the Japanese army.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Luo Yue received a notice from the 4th Army, which was responsible for the containment of the northern front, and found that a large number of Japanese troops had gathered in the area of Yaogou, with a number of about 100,000, and were organizing the use of boats, ropes and other things to cross the river.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, and the scouts have also returned, so Luo Yue also has a basic understanding of the situation of the entire battlefield, in addition to the kiln ditch, the Japanese army has more than 10 other gathering points, as many as 10,000 people, not less than 1,000 people, and the People's Army has also completed the reorganization, even the 3rd Army that captured 3 Phoenix City also rushed to converge, so Luo Yue also divided his troops and sent generals to carry out the final elimination of the Japanese army.
