"The battle situation in the north is going well, I'm afraid the next one will have to ask the general to contribute, the foundation of the north of the three Koreas is too poor, I'm afraid I can't afford the next round of battles." In the office of the chief of general staff of the General Staff, Duan Qirui picked up the teapot and took a sip, since returning from a visit with the semi-retired President Li Yuanlong, General Staff Duan has filled in this hobby.

"Let Lao Xi handle it, build roads and airports first, use more local labor, and use the cornmeal in our northeast to convert the price, they are all refugees, this is true." Wu Chenxuan is also very helpless about the current situation of the Sanhan War, according to his ideas, the Air Force, mecha and the Wehrmacht armed to the teeth are not the rhythm of flat pushing, but it is a pity that they have completely fallen off with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in later generations. Samhan's poor terrain and even worse transportation and infrastructure became the biggest obstacle to the Wehrmacht's sword blitzkrieg, or the two mountain divisions would have to take the lead, and the armored division and the infantry division would have to wait for the sappers to repair the bridge before they could move their delicate butts. "Next, we must capture Seoul as soon as possible, and we must advance to the front line of Suwon and Wonju before the arrival of the fifth division of the Japanese army, and logistics support is the top priority, and now fighting a war is fighting logistics."

Ten years ago, General Duan Da would have felt a little hypocritical, but since World War I, he has truly realized what is called modern warfare, what is the logistics supply of modern warfare, and the attack and defense of a city and a place are often exchanged for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of shells, millions, tens of millions of bullets, and you don't dare to stop, otherwise the other party will be happy to pile you to death with steel when you are short of ammunition. With the two major logistical black holes of the Air Force and the Armored Forces, their needs must be considered first in any war, from accessories to ammunition, from roads to fuel, and even the absence of a repair station can make an entire division of hundreds of armored monsters park on the side of the road as crafts.

At the moment, the busiest thing is not the General Staff Department or the Ministry of National Defense, nor the staff offices of the Seventh Army or the Eighth Group Army, but Minister Yan Xishan of the General Logistics Department and the logistics officers under him who are specialized in playing with guns, from Dandong, Changcheng, Chushan, and Ji'an to Huishan and Maoshan on the eastern front, railways, highways, and sea transportation are all on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people of Sanhan who have been tied up and brought out from their homes by the Samhan Restoration Army, as well as more than 100,000 prisoners of war of the Yasukuni Army, are busy on the highways, railways, and wharves of Samhan in the cold wind. By 20 November, a total of 8.7 million tons of various materials had been transported to Samhan, and more than 30 field airfields had been built, plus the three permanent airfields in Pyongyang, Tookcheon, and Hamhung, which had been built by the Japanese army, and two air superiority wings, two tactical support wings, and one bomber wing had been stationed at these airfields, and almost one-third of the standard air force had been engaged in this campaign.

At 17 o'clock on November 17, the 13th year of the Republic of Korea, the Wehrmacht and the Samhan Restoration Army launched an attack on all fronts after a short artillery preparation according to the predetermined plan. The Eighth Army of the Western Front, with the cooperation of the third and fourth columns of the Restoration Army, quickly broke through the defensive positions of the Japanese army on the front line of Pingshan and Jinchuan. The 38th Armored Division of the Eighth Army broke through the Imjin River in only 13 hours and advanced 12~15 kilometers. The 3802nd Regiment of the division took on the right flank of the attack, breaking through the 5 blockades of the 77th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army along the way, breaking through the defense depth of 15 kilometers on the morning of the 18th, capturing the Xiangshuili and Xianyanli areas, and severing the connection between the 39th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 40th Brigade. The 3801st Regiment of the 38th Armored Division took up the task of making a detour on the left flank of the attack, and at 12 o'clock on the 18th, it broke into the defense depth of 20 kilometers and occupied Qifeng Mountain, but before forming an encirclement with the 3802nd Regiment, most of the two Japanese brigades had escaped by taking advantage of the gap. At noon on the 19th, the 38th Armored Division advanced to the northeast line of Paju-ri, Xianyan-ri, Qibongsan and Uijeong, and broke through to the enemy's defense depth of 15~20 kilometers. After the breakthrough of the 38th Panzer Division, it began to stop to rest and wait for supplies. The Air Force began to carry out battlefield interdiction missions as planned.

The 36th Armored Division, which was tasked with the second offensive, quickly overtook the attack formation of the 38th Armored Division, ignored the threat of Japanese stragglers, insisted on fighting during the day, and fought more than 10 times along the way, and went out to the area south of Jiningli before 12 o'clock on the 20th, cutting off the retreat of the two wings of the 39th Brigade of the 20th Division (77th Wing and 78th Wing); The two main tank regiments of the 36th Armored Division as a frontal attack, the Hound tank also appeared in front of the Japanese army for the first time, in the face of this flexible medium tank, the Japanese found that except for the occasional hit infantry artillery can threaten their existence, other weapons are helpless against them, large-caliber howitzers can of course also be, provided that you have to have guided anti-armor shells to attack the top, or you have to fight for character, thousands of shells may not be able to meet a direct hit chance, Obviously, the 20th Division, as the garrison army, did not have the courage to smash the Chinese tanks with steel before the artillery was strengthened.

By the 22nd, after occupying the Xiude Mountain, Shangnanzhu, and Xiananzhu areas, the 4th Jibu Division and the 6th Jibu Division of the third attack wave finally had a chance to play, and they were not inferior to the armored division's firepower and skillful air-ground coordination, and almost in minutes they annihilated the remnants of the 78th Wing of the Japanese Army and the 5th Division of the Yasukuni Army in the area, killing and wounding more than 3,200 prisoners. Subsequently, the rapid response 99th Division continued to develop the offensive and occupied Gapyeong and Chuncheon. With the cooperation of the third column of the Restoration Army, the 99th Division of the Quick Counter attacked and advanced in the direction of Hongcheon, Hoengseong, and Wonju.

On the morning of the 21st, the 4th and 6th Infantry Divisions advanced to the area of Xinjiali, southwest of Hongchuan, threatening the rear of the 20th Division, forcing it to begin to retreat south.

By 23 November, the first line of defense held by the Japanese army had completely collapsed, the front of Seoul was tightened, and the eastern flank of the Japanese army was completely exposed. Lieutenant General Da Ting Jiro ordered the entire line to retreat with small troops on the north bank of the Han River to prevent tens of thousands of troops from crowding on the north bank of the Han River, covering only on the line of Goyang, Dobongsan, and Suroksan north of Seoul, in an attempt to prevent the Wehrmacht from continuing the offensive. On 25 November, six divisions of the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht and two columns of the Samhan Restoration Army were transferred to pursuit. After repelling the resistance of the 79th Wing of the Japanese Army in Biho-ri, north of Gaoyang, the right column with the 38th Panzer Division as the arrow crossed to Fomidi, south of Gaoyang, and cut off the retreat of the capital division of the Yasukuni Army of the Three Koreas, and completely annihilated the main force of the division of more than 20,000 puppet troops that night, and the ranks of prisoners were all over the mountains. A company commander of the 38th Armored Division at that time answered the inquiries of his superiors, which became a classic episode in this war.

"Report to the regiment commander, there are too many prisoners of war with sticks, I can't see them, please send heavy soldiers and food supplies as soon as possible to take over these sticks."

"How many captives are there? Is there a quasi-number? ”

"There are countless people, anyway, there are more than two acres of officers alone, and more than 80 acres of stick soldiers."

The 38th Armored Division encountered a brigade of the 80th Wing at Huilongsa Temple in the southwest of the Uijeong, and after being completely annihilated by the way, it annihilated a Japanese baggage brigade at Puguri, west of the Uijeong.

The 38th Panzer Division pursued to the area southeast of the Uijeongsan and routed the 80th Wing and the Cavalry Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army. The main force of the 36th Armored Division of the left column and the 1st regiment of the 6th Mechanized Infantry Division crossed the North Han River from Gapyeong and Chuncheon respectively and pursued in the direction of Hongcheon. The third column of the Samhan Restoration Army continued to intercept the two divisions of the Samhan puppet army in the Hongcheon and Hoengseong areas. Due to the fierce offensive of the Wehrmacht, the Japanese garrison was forced to withdraw from Seoul at 10 o'clock on the 26th.

Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Ozaki came to Seoul with great difficulty and saw the demoralized 20th Division, and the pursuit of the Wehrmacht was about to arrive. Lieutenant General Dai-tei Jiro made a quick decision and approved the remaining troops to abandon Seoul, a plain area where there was no danger to defend, retreat to favorable terrain, and build a defensive line to wait for the battle. On November 26, the puppet Korean government announced the "relocation of the capital", and Seoul was immediately plunged into great chaos, and at least half of the citizens (about 150,000, mostly Japanese expatriates and citizens serving Japanese institutions) decided to flee with the army. Jiro Oniwa was already on his way to Busan, and Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Ozaki and his chief of staff, Terao Daisa, stood at the head of the Han River bridge and saw: "Hundreds of thousands of refugees are carrying burdens, supporting the old and the young, and rushing to the Han River." Refugees crossed the river from the ice. Mothers with babies in their arms, men carrying the elderly, the sick, and the disabled on their backs, people carrying large burdens and pushing small two-wheeled bicycles...... There is no one to help those who have fallen. In this tragic escape, no one has time to help their neighbors. No one wept or wept, only the painful gasps of walking on the ice could be heard. As a result, Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Ozaki, the commander of the 19th Division, who was already without soldiers and generals, was almost the last Japanese army to withdraw from Seoul, and fortunately did not fall into the hands of the Chinese National Defense Forces in Seoul.

On the morning of the 27th, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 36th Panzer Division each entered and occupied Seoul. On the 28th, the main force of the 99th Rapid Response Division crossed the Han River and continued the pursuit, and the 99th Rapid Response Division annihilated the remnants of the 80th Wing of the Japanese Army and one Japanese armed expatriate at Gwacheon and Gunpochang. The three main divisions, the 38th Armored Division, the 6th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division, were assembled in the northeastern area of Seoul. On the 29th, the 99th Fast Counter Division entered and occupied Suwon and Jinliangchang; The 4th Column of the Samhan Restoration Army recaptured the port of Incheon. After the 16th Mechanized Infantry Division of the National Defense Army occupied Hongcheon and Yangdeokwon-ri on the same day, it continued the pursuit, entered and occupied Topyeong-ri on the 30th, and again annihilated the first part of the Samhan Yasukuni Army at Limujeong, northwest of Hoengseong, and captured Yeoju and Icheon on December 2. At the same time, the 3rd Column of the Restoration Army occupied Hoengseong and Wonju without waiting for the 99th Division of the Wehrmacht to follow, and marched towards the coast of the Eastern Front. On December 4, the two divisions of the Japanese garrison and the second division transferred from the mainland withdrew to the line of Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Jecheon, and Samcheok near the 37th parallel north latitude under the joint attack of the Chinese and South Korean troops. In view of the fact that the Japanese Fifth Division had already landed from Pohang, and that the retreat of the remnants of the Japanese army seemed to be planned, in an attempt to induce the Chinese and Korean troops to carry out a counterattack after penetrating deeply, and in order to avoid being disadvantaged by advancing too far, Wu Luzhen decisively decided to stop the pursuit, and the battle ended. The Eastern Front was also tepid, the remnants of the Second Division fled to Wonsan with less than 10,000 people, and were picked up by Japanese naval transport ships, although they did not encounter any decent resistance, but the poor road conditions on the Eastern Front made Du Zicheng scratch his head, and when Wu Luzhen's Eighth Army stopped on the southern line of the Han River, the advance of the Seventh Army arrived at Sokcho, and one or two divisions of the Wehrmacht were deployed in Hamhung, Wonsan, and Goseong, so as to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the sea of Japan to block the waist.

In this battle, the 300,000 troops of the Chinese National Defense Forces fought side by side with the 100,000 officers and men of the Three Koreas to restore the country, quickly broke through the Japanese army's several existing positions and in-depth defenses from south to north, smashed its attempt to gain time and reorganize the army to fight again, killed, wounded and captured more than 65,000 enemies (including more than 62,000 enemies annihilated by the Wehrmacht), occupied Seoul, and advanced the battle line to the area near the 37th degree line. During the battle, the Wehrmacht suffered more than 3,800 casualties. The Wehrmacht's over-the-top attack tactics left no respite once the Japanese army was broken through, disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army of three divisions plus more than 100,000 three Korean Yasukuo troops were forced to retreat on all fronts. By December 7, the remnants of the Japanese army had retreated to the first line of Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Jecheon, Nyongyue, and Samcheok in the north and south of the 37th Parallel, and joined the 4th Division stationed in Daejeon.

After the Japanese military headquarters mobilized reinforcements and prepared food, grass, ammunition and ships, it was found that 65% of the land of Samhan had changed color, and there was only one unreliable Fourth Division left on the peninsula to support the scene.
