A task force led by the 47th Wing of the 6th Division, led by Kazuo Kuroki, headed for the "alfalfa leaf heights" in the river bay

and the Samhan Army on the Gobong-ri Ridge launched an attack.

The fighting continued until 15 February, with heavy losses on both sides.

During one encounter, the soldiers of the 47th Wing were hit by grenades and artillery fire for every few steps.

A squad charging towards the mountains, 35 of the 25 were killed or wounded.

The 2nd Division of the 3rd Column of Samhan and the task force commanded by Kazuo Kuroki also formed a stalemate.

The Japanese army was unable to attack the protruding area of the Rakudong River Bay for a long time, which made General Yamanashi Hanzo become impatient.

On 15 March, he decided to bring the 35th Wing of the 9th Division of the Reserve into battle to support Task Force Kuroki and postponed the date of the attack until 17 March.

In this way, the planes that had just arrived in the Japanese army had the opportunity to carry out an air strike on Samhan Fu**.

At the same time, the third column of the Samhan Fu ** launched a fierce counteroffensive against the Kuroki task force on March 16, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The sheep-like Samhan people fought like madmen for their lives, which made the Japanese troops more psychologically tired and demoralized.

However, the situation on the part of Samhan Fu ** is even worse.

Japanese artillery and air raids left the Fu in isolation on the battlefield, with neither food nor ammunition supplies.

Many of the soldiers who came to reinforce were deserters, and many of the wounded died because it was difficult to evacuate.

For the new round of attack of the third column, the vigilant General Yamanashi Hanzo did not take any chances.

In addition to the 35th Wing of the 9th Division, he mobilized another wing of the 9th Division, the 19th Wing, and deployed a heavy artillery brigade of 54 105mm howitzers and a 155mm howitzer battalion, supported by 12 Inuit fighters.

The attack was commanded by Lieutenant General Hiroshi Matsuura of the 9th Division.

He planned to send the 35th Wing to seize the alfalfa leaf heights, and let the 19th Wing attack Wufengli Ridge.

However, the 19th Wing's Commander Rong Dazuo thought it would be easy to take Wufengliling, because he and the wing's chief of staff felt that the main target of the North Korean attack was the alfalfa leaf heights and a higher mountain near the Nakdong River to the west of Wufengliling.

Therefore, General Matsuura agreed to send the 19th Wing to attack Gomineri Ridge first.

At 7:35 a.m. on March 17, the 19th Wing headed for the 1.5-mile-long Wufengli Ridge.

It rises 300 to 450 feet above the valley.

The Japanese army did not bombard the mountain with artillery first, but dispatched 12 Inuit planes to blow up Wufengli Ridge to a mess.

In the words of General Church, Wufengli Ridge seems to have "flown up"

。

Leading the way were two squadrons of 120 men each.

Another 4 reinforced squads formed the assault team.

Samhan Fu ** on Wufengli Ridge did not fire at the Japanese army.

However, in the north, near the alfalfa leaf heights, the Japanese were hit by heavy enemy machine-gun rifles and mortars.

A squad led by Lieutenant Ishikawa, with only 20 soldiers, ascended to the top of the narrow ridge.

When the Japanese jumped into the abandoned foxhole, the enemy's machine guns swept towards them.

In a row of foxholes on the other side of the hill, enemy troops in ambush jumped out and attacked the marines with grenades.

Soon, 5 Japanese soldiers were wounded.

Seeing that something could not be done, Ishikawa ordered the whole team to retreat.

They retreated quickly and dragged the wounded back with ponchos, and Yamaguchi dismissed Lieutenant Ishikawa from his post and sent him back to the reserve after the poncho, and Ishikawa later became a famous news editor and lived until long after World War II, witnessing firsthand how Japan was able to fight against the Celestial Empire.

The Inuit flew back again.

This time a lot of bombs and machine-gun shells were dropped on the other side of the hill.

The infantry of the 19th Wing, which was waiting at the bottom of the slope, rushed up the hillside.

At first, Samhan Fu ** did not fight back much, but as soon as the plane left, the Samhan soldiers climbed back to the foxhole at the front line, shot at the Japanese soldiers who were climbing up, and threw grenades * at them.

This time, it was only Ishikawa's team that made it to the top.

They started with a total of 15 men, only 9 attacked, and also had to retreat again, and Ishikawa himself was wounded twice.

Of the 240 members of the two squadrons launched by the 19th Wing, 23 were killed and 119 were wounded.

The 1st Squadron of the 19th Wing, the leading squadron of Fujii Nakasa, suffered a heavy blow and ordered the third squadron to continue the attack.

The Inuit failed to kill the Samhan soldiers who were hiding in a promenade on the other side of the hill.

The artillery fire from and around the alfalfa leaf heights caused heavy casualties to the Japanese attacking troops.

At this time, the county magistrate Rong Dazuo believed that when the 19th Wing attacked Wufengli Ridge again, the 35th Wing should launch an attack on the alfalfa leaf high ground at the same time.

At 4 p.m., the two forces began a joint offensive.

Before the 19th Wing attacked, the artillery of the 2nd Brigade of Heavy Artillery was bombarded with a burst of alfalfa leaf heights.

All the artillery sorties were fired together, including timed air-burst shells, which exploded above enemy foxholes, raining down shrapnel on North Korean soldiers huddled in foxholes.

The 19th Infantry Wing did not take much effort to take the alfalfa leaf heights, and the artillery really showed its might.

The soldiers who survived by luck abandoned the heights and fled to the rear.

However, the 19th Wing was once again blocked by the 19th Wing on the Wufengli Ridge, but the detachment was able to return to the north side of the ridge this time because it was not attacked by enemy artillery fire on the alfalfa leaf heights.

The third column of the Restoration ** is in danger at this time, and they are facing a new type of war.

Six days earlier, the column had unexpectedly penetrated into the rear of the Japanese troops east of Lingshan and had set up roadblocks on the main road.

If it had been a few weeks earlier, this would have crumbled the Japanese defenses, forcing them to abandon their armor, vehicles and equipment, and flee in panic to safety in the mountains.

However, the current situation is just the opposite, the three powerful forces of the Japanese army have gathered together, and the recovering troops have been beaten to the ground, and the barricades set up have also been destroyed.

At this moment, heavy artillery fire and a coordinated infantry attack were inexorably forcing the remnants of the third column towards the Nakdong River, step by step.

In desperation, the Samhan soldiers had to turn to the air support of the National Defense Forces, which had helped them save the day on several occasions.

This time, however, they need to fully realize that the world as they know it has changed dramatically.

Just before dark, the Third Column finally understood that because the airfield had not yet been put into operation, the air support that could be expected north of the Han River would no longer appear over Wufeng-ri Ling.

However, the Wehrmacht did not completely abandon this arrogant ally, and sent a tank detachment to relieve the third column.

The Hound Tank calmly and confidently drove along the road towards the pass between the Wufengli Ridge and the Alfalfa Leaf Highlands.

Three small Type 89 tanks of the Japanese army also rumbled forward.

The 37mm tank gun was meaningless in front of the Hound tank, and the Hound 12-diameter 57mm tank gun could penetrate the front armor of the Type 89 tank at a distance of 800 meters, and two Type 01 infantry gun squads also hurried over, but the crosshairs of this infantry artillery hitting the active target were known only to the gods.

That night, Samhan Fu ** on the Wufengli Ridge repelled a fierce full-front attack by the Japanese infantry.

The Japanese left 183 bodies in front of the re-position, while dozens of Wehrmacht members were killed.

The next morning, the Japanese advanced south along the Wubong-ri Ridge in the face of continuous resistance from the Koreans.

Later, the pilot of an Inuit fighter jet took careful aim and dropped a 100-pound bomb directly on the machine gun positions of the Stick Army, killing a group of machine gunners.

And this is precisely a sentry post that guards the retreat of the three Han Fu**, so the organized retreat has become a swarm of retreat of the brigade of the three Han Fu **.

And so the battle ended.

The surviving soldiers of the third column were rushing towards the Nakdong River at this time.

This scene was well known to the Japanese army, who just provided an excellent target for the Japanese artillery forward observers.

The observer quickly adjusted the variable time and space explosive bombs and short-fuse bombs and aimed them at the retreating enemy forces.

Shells roared above the roads, hitting many of the stick soldiers in the wilderness.

In the early morning of March 19, the 19th Wing and the 35th Wing met at the Nakdong River.

The third column had actually fled at night, leaving behind 34 mountain guns and dozens of machine guns and other weapons that the Japanese army urgently needed.

After the battle, the captured men reported that only three or four hundred men remained in each of the 4 infantry divisions of the third column.

The third column as a fighting force practically ceased to exist.

Just when the county magistrate Rong Dazuo triumphantly asked the division commander Lieutenant General Matsuura Kanwei for credit, the Seventh Army, which had been supplied domestically, finally showed its fangs.

The 4th Column of Samhan was also beaten by the 6th Division and almost lost its combat capability, and had to retreat in the direction of Andong, and the Japanese troops in pursuit did not expect that they were easily crushed by the Wehrmacht's tank assault group, and more than 180 Hound tanks of the 22nd Panzer Division from Yeongju did not attack head-on, but used the one-way transparency brought by the aircraft, and stood by from the mountains on both sides of Andong, until the remnants of the fourth column retreated into Andong City, they did not start the tanks, The 23rd Wing, as the vanguard, was quickly divided and interspersed, and was crushed in an instant, and the Japanese soldiers who had lost their support were vulnerable in front of the tank's artillery and machine guns, and the Japanese Wing of more than 6,000 people became lambs to the slaughter, and the 22nd Armored Division of the Wehrmacht, as the butcher, did not mind hiring local figures to carefully scrub the tank tracks afterwards.

Lieutenant General Takuo Yamada of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was relatively vigilant, and he did not send reinforcements to resist the armored forces of the Chinese National Defense Force, but quickly shrank the defensive line and destroyed the road, so that the 22nd Panzer Division could not make new contributions.

Over time, the Wehrmacht's 22nd Panzer Division, 35th Panzer Division, 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, 5th Mechanized Infantry Division, 9th Mechanized Infantry Division, 9th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 10th Mountain Rapid Reaction Division, as well as a heavy artillery column, began a standoff against the Japanese on the north bank of the Nakdong River, and the Eighth Army also included the 36th Armored Division, the 38th Panzer Division, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 6th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 15th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 99th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 20th Mountain Division.

Together with the second column transferred from the west coast, a total of 15 division-level units of the Wehrmacht have been gathered on the front line of the Nakdong River.

And the five and a half divisions on the opposite side also made a pair of "I am very well-behaved, don't cause trouble and ask for support" in the face of such a strong force

The attitude, the two sides have stabilized on the front of the Luodong River, and the only losers seem to be the two columns that were reverted by the Japanese army, if the people of Sanhan know the truth, it is estimated that Wu Chenxuan will be punished by the people of the sticks.

Wu Chenxuan is already planning to play the style of the 38th line in Luodongjiang, so that all the Chinese army will take turns to experience it, anyway, the house is also a neighbor's, isn't it?
