The Chinese army has regained control of most of the northeast region, the New Third Army and the New Ninth Army that have entered the Inner Mongolia region northward have also moved north to the Qiqihar region, and the Japanese forces in the northeast have now all been assembled in Heilongjiang and the Soviet Union outside the country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, a major war broke out in North Hamgyong Province at the northern tip of North Korea, and the strange change in the situation surprised everyone who paid attention to the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

With more than 70,000 mountain troops deployed in North Hamgyong Province, and a large number of Korean natives acting as eyes and ears, the Japanese army was taken by surprise at the beginning of the war. A 2,000-strong Korean Independence Army (KIA) force attacked the Japanese first, and the cautious Japanese had no idea that their opponents would attack in broad daylight.

It is not terrible to lose baggage, but if a large number of heavy equipment is lost before the actual war starts, it will be too sad for the Japanese army who is in a hurry to move south. From the moment the first shot was fired, the main objective of the Korean Independence Army attacking the Japanese army was not to kill or injure the other side, but to destroy the heavy equipment and logistical baggage of the Japanese army. They did not have an advantage in strength in order to gain a certain advantage only by fighting guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, and the essence of guerrilla warfare was to carry out sabotage as much as possible.

Fumima Konoe, who was still stranded in Chongqing, did not expect the umbrella to react so quickly, and after repeatedly confirming that the Chinese army in the northeast had not moved, Fumima Konoe was even more puzzled, he couldn't think of why the umbrella had the courage to wrestle with the empire. Konoe was puzzled, but in just two days, the fighting in North Hamgyong Province deteriorated, and hundreds of well-equipped enemy forces of varying numbers carried out intensive raids on the Japanese troops entering North Hamgyong Province.

Unlike the anti-coalition forces that the Japanese army in Northeast China fought in the northeast, the hostile forces active in North Hamgyong Province are equipped with a large number of new weapons such as light mortars and individual rocket launchers, and they never fight positional warfare with the Japanese army, and often leave with one blow, and the main target of the attack is mostly the Japanese army's logistics baggage troops. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the soldiers of the Korean Independence Army, who had minimized their burdens, brought the Japanese troops in hot pursuit into the encirclement again and again, and then wore down the strength and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army little by little like peeling an onion.

It was only the third day that the Japanese troops in the Northeast who were trying to move south from North Hamgyong Province continued to be attacked by surprise attacks, and it was only the third day that the Japanese troops in Northeast Korea entered North Hamgyong Province until Konoe Bunma received a battle report from the Japanese troops in North Hamgyong Province for the second time. In the past three days, the forward troops of the Japanese army in the northeast have lost a lot of heavy weapons and equipment, and in addition to more than 1,000 more wounded soldiers, the actual number of Japanese casualties has exceeded 3,000.

Before he really fought with the help of the umbrella, he had already lost the strength of a wing, which was an extremely heavy blow to the Japanese army in the northeast, which had always been arrogant. It's just that they didn't expect that the painful experience of these three days was just the beginning, because Zhuo Fei had already transferred more than 40 helicopter gunships and an armored unit of more than 3,000 people to Hamgyong Province to prepare for the war, and also ordered the flight team to start air fire support for the guerrillas in North Hamgyong Province.

The number of fighters that Zhuo Fei sent to help the guerrilla forces in North Hamgyong Province was not very large, but they were all given large killing weapons such as white phosphorus bombs and cloud burst bombs, and Zhuo Fei had already decided to turn North Hamgyong Province into a flesh mill. The Dangkou Army, which had formed a confrontation with the Japanese army on the front line of Seoul, had not been able to hold it out, and even though the Japanese troops confronting it had repeatedly carried out raids or raids, the Dangkou Army had never crossed the defensive line, and such a strange battlefield situation made the Korean Japanese army puzzled for a while.

The southern route was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, but the northern route was in full swing in North Hamgyong Province, and Konoe Fumima, who had been pondering the matter for several days, was never able to come up with the answer he wanted. The umbrella has been pulling away from the troops originally deployed in China, and the purpose of Konoe Fumima's trip is to finalize an armistice agreement with China, if it were not for the fact that Konoe Fumima has been looking for various reasons to delay time, this would have been the time for the agreement to be implemented.

Like Konoe Fumima, the high-level leaders in Chongqing, who closely followed the situation on the Korean Peninsula, did not know what Zhuo Fei wanted to do, and since Zhuo Fei took the initiative to disconnect from Chongqing, Chongqing could no longer obtain the latest war report on the Korean Peninsula in time. Even if we occasionally get some war reports on the Korean Peninsula, they do so through the channels of the military command or the new army, and the time for war reports is seriously lagging behind.

The war on the Korean Peninsula behaved so strangely, and Konoe Fumima and his entourage were trying their best to delay time, and the high-level leaders in Chongqing, who were eager to help Zhuo Fei, immediately discussed the simplest countermeasures and attitudes. "Mr. Prime Minister, the draft of the Sino-Japanese Friendship Armistice Agreement has been finalized for a week, and we would like to know if you really want us to sign this agreement?" Zhou Enlai, who met with Konoe Bunma, is no longer as reserved as he was a few days ago, and his words are full of reminders and hints.

Konoe Funma did not divert from this topic, but he did not answer Zhou Enlai's question directly, and a vague and extremely general meeting ended, and Zhou Enlai, who left the Japanese station, finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice. "The Japanese don't really want to talk to us about the truce and peace talks, they are repeating their old tricks and trying to delay time, Konoe Furuma didn't say it, but I can see from his eyes and attitude that the Japanese are almost no different from what Zhuo Fei said before."

Through Zhou Enlai's temptation, the Chongqing high-level finally lost their previous good temper, and directly conveyed an ultimatum to Konoe Fumima, who still wanted to continue to delay time, that if the Japanese side did not want to stop the war with China, then continue to fight. "Eight grid tooth road, the Chinese are too rude." Fumima Konoe was annoyed by the harshly worded ultimatum, who believed that a successful diplomat should not be so coerced by his opponents, and that the actions of the Chongqing top brass were an insult to him.

However, at the moment, it is not a question of whether it is polite or not, but the Chongqing side has decided not to continue to follow the rhythm of the Japanese side, and Konoe Fumima, while pondering how to continue to delay time, has no choice but to continue to negotiate the content of the agreement with the Chinese side according to the time stipulated in the ultimatum. Konoe Bunma, who had taken up a lot of time, no longer had time to pay close attention to the war on the Korean Peninsula, but at this moment, the war-torn Korean Peninsula broke out again with shocking news that the Japanese army that was trying to land on the northern coastline of the Korean Peninsula by water from Vladivostok was attacked head-on.

Zhuo Fei deployed all four submarines under his umbrella to the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, his original intention was only to attack the port of Pusan at the right time, but he did not expect that the four submarines would become famous on the east coast of North Korea one day. A naval battle that was not too fierce should not have attracted a lot of attention, but it was only because of the great disparity in strength between the two sides and the extremely strange record that this naval battle, which lasted less than an hour, became a classic battle that was often mentioned in the classrooms of naval academies of various countries in the future.

Zhuo Fei sent only four submarines to the east coast of Korea, while the Japanese army collected more than 40 ships at Vladivostok, in addition to several old gunboats captured by the Soviet army. Although the gunboats captured by the Japanese army were weak in combat, they were not something that the four thin-skinned submarines under the umbrella could resist, so after discovering and determining the location of the Japanese fleet, the captains of the four submarines also held a brief meeting and repeatedly weighed before deciding to intercept the Japanese fleet.

After the Japanese fleet entered the torpedo attack range, the submarines scattered in an arc were the first to strike, and the first to be torpedoed were the Soviet-style gunboats. Within a few minutes, only the last Soviet-style gunboat of the convoy was left, and several troop carriers carrying soldiers were sunk in the melee. The Japanese troops who were suddenly ambushed had completely panicked, lost the escort of the gunboats, and the remaining troop carriers were shelled eggs, and they had no idea how many submarines they had.

In the face of the panicked Japanese fleet, these four submarines not only fired all the torpedoes they carried, but finally simply surfaced and brought out mortars to directly engage the Japanese troop transports. The mortars in the submarine were originally the weapons that they should have transported to the coastline to hand over to the special forces, but no one thought that the mortars could be used in naval battles on submarines.

In less than an hour, the curtain came down on this short but fierce naval battle, in which all the Japanese escort gunboats were sunk, half of the other ships were sunk, and the remaining half were seriously damaged, while the four submarines under the umbrella were unscathed. This small-scale naval battle was nothing for the umbrella, but for the Japanese army in the northeast, which was eager to go south, it was an indelible pain. More than 6,000 Japanese officers and soldiers died at the bottom of the sea in this naval battle, a result that made Konoe Fumi, who was far away in Chongqing, want to vomit blood and die, but the Chongqing high-level people rejoiced.

Zhuo Fei, who was sitting in Seoul, was also very happy, he didn't expect that his four submarines would have such a strong performance, he only wanted to use these four submarines to attack the east coast of the Korean Peninsula. It's just that Zhuo Fei's staff officers don't think so, they think that it would be good if the temporary fleet was also here, at least they wouldn't let the remaining half of the Japanese army escape safely back to Vladivostok because the submarine ran out of ammunition.
