Chapter XXVII: Raid on the Port of Pusan: War on Korea

Wei Xiang returned to Yaogang for a meeting this time, and he was most pleased to hear that the Korean issue could be resolved by force. The Koreans are some capricious people, the last time they sent envoys to Yaogang, the Yaogang people negotiated with them about the redemarcation of the border, and after they returned, there was no more news, which made everyone very angry. But there have always been other things, and Yaogang can't take care of North Korea's affairs. Wei Xiang asked the command center several times to fight, saying that without the help of others, he could completely subdue the Koreans with the forces of Liaodong. But Chen Yufeng and Ou He kept telling him to just hold the border and not allow him to take action. Wei Xiang had no choice but to send troops to guard the border with North Korea in a depressed manner.

This time, Yaogang made up his mind to solve the North Korean problem, and Liu Yun and his staff worked out an action plan with Wei Xiang. As a matter of fact, the General Staff also has a general plan for the DPRK, and Wei Xiang has already had his own ideas over there.

When Wei Xiang went back to Liaodong, Fan Wencheng, who was very respected in Yaogang, did not go back, he asked Ouyang He to take a walk in the mainland. Of course, Ouyang He agreed, and gave him some coils.

Wei Xiang crossed the sea directly into the Yalu River by boat and came to his army. The soldiers hadn't seen Wei Xiang for a while, so they were naturally very happy, especially when Wei Xiang brought back a boatload of delicious food, which attracted everyone even more. Evening feasts are inevitable.

What made everyone even more unexpected was that the wine was almost drunk, and Wei Xiang told everyone about the decision of Yaogang to settle North Korea by force. This is more delicious than anything that makes the soldiers happy, and a few jars of good wine are served.

The soldiers looked down on those North Korean officers and soldiers at all, but because they had orders, they were not allowed to cause trouble, so they could only look across the border, watching those North Korean officers and soldiers get angry, and they had long wanted to destroy them.

The next day, Wei Xiang convened a meeting of the generals and arranged them to formulate a battle plan at Yaogang.

The army needs to make a lot of preparations from a peaceful state to a combat state, but fortunately, Wei Xiang's usual material preparations are very sufficient, and the ships sent by Yaogang have made appropriate supplements, and everything will be ready soon.

However, Wei Xiang still had to wait for Wu Sangui and their side to prepare. It turned out that the battle plan was to attack in two directions. All the way was Wu Sangui and their side, sending a division to cross the Tsushima Strait from Japan and land from the east of Korea to attack Korea. Wei Xiang's army here attacked from west to east in two directions, north and south.

Following Wei Xiang back was a squadron of special forces sent to him by Li Jing, all of whom carried delta wings and diving equipment. After Li Jing's training during this time, his special forces can basically parachute from the air and dive in the water. Those who fail to pass the training and assessment will be eliminated from the first-line team.

The battle began with a sudden landing of a division sent by Wu Sangui from Busan, North Korea.

In fact, this division was the veterans of Yaogang who had been platoon to Japan, not the newly redressed Wu Sangui army, who had to return to Japan to defend after assisting Wei Xiang in attacking Korea. Such an arrangement could not delay the entire northward movement of Wu Sangui and his army.

The division was an integrated division with four infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a battery of artillery trucks, and twelve artillery carriages.

The Port of Busan faces Japan and has always been a major port for trade with Japan and overseas. However, since the Japanese attacked Korea through this area several times, the Koreans also built a large number of military fortifications here. It is said that there are many places for the Yaogang people to attack Korea, and it is not the best choice to attack in the face of such a well-built defense port. But there is one condition here that is very attractive to kiln people, and that is that there are several deep-water docks where large ships can dock. With such a wharf, the heavy preparation of the Yaogang army can be directly hoisted ashore, without the need to use small boats to turn around, or build a floating wharf to go ashore. This is why I chose here, and the people of Yaogang are really confident. They believed in their artillery fire and would soon be able to suppress the North Korean artillery fire.

There is another thing, that is, the Yaogang people fought by surprise, and the Koreans were not prepared for a sudden large-scale attack on Yaogang, and they attacked from here. The reconnaissance of the port of Busan by the Yaogang people has been carried out for a long time, and the map of the entire port of Busan is more detailed than that made by the North Koreans themselves. There is another factor, and that is that the capture of the port of Busan is very shocking to the North Koreans. The combination of these conditions made the Yaogang people make the decision to attack from the port of Busan.

The telegram that asked this division to participate in the attack on Korea had already been sent to them, and the commander of this division would also be a veteran of Yaogang, who had followed Zhang Zhimu from the Wild Boar Ridge, named Song Ying. When I heard that this great good thing had fallen on my head, I was happy that I didn't sleep all night. I thought I was trapped in a ghost place like Japan, and there was no good thing of my own. Listening to the brothers' army, the southern conquest and the northern war in Tiannan and Haibei, it is really uncomfortable to be nested here. He even asked someone to ask the command center for a transfer. But a main division commander is not something that can be transferred casually. Although he knew a lot of people above, it was still useless. Once, he also asked Chen Yufeng to scold him, which was honest. However, it is really not easy for a division commander in Yaogang to scold Chen Yufeng. This Song Ying will take it out and brag when she is happy, "Hey! Lao Tzu wanted to be transferred to a place where there was a fight, and everyone was found, but accidentally, Mr. Chen knew about it, and called me to give me a scolding. It's over this time, and it's useless to find anyone. With Mr. Chen stuck there, I have to listen to his old man and stay in Japan! Ay! Who let Lao Tzu perform so well when he followed Mr. Zhang to the south and north! No, let Mr. Chen target it! ”

The people around him also knew that Song Ying was taking the opportunity to put on his old qualifications, but his qualifications were so old, "Oops! Division Commander Song, when will we be able to get into the command center and hang up the **? ”

"What's the command center," Song Ying was even better, "When you see Mr. Zhang, mention me Song Ying, Mr. Zhang can't forget me!" At that time, there were only a few people who followed Mr. Zhang! ”

is such a terrible division commander, how can he not be happy when he catches this cow's amazing work.

This North Korean people are also strange, they were forced to sign a peace agreement by Wei Xiang and their, in fact, it is a surrender document, it stands to reason, they should still thank Wei Xiang for not forcing them to compensate for the loss, they should be grateful, but the Korean king not only did not feel ashamed, but also felt that the Ming Dynasty did not ask for war reparations, it was a very stupid thing to make a name for nothing. Although a lot of land has been demarcated on the border, they also feel distressed, but in exchange for peace, they are still very satisfied. They took advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and dealt with the Ming Dynasty together with the Qing Dynasty, and did not get liquidated, which made these Korean kings Yi Liang and his ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

But after a feeling of luck, the slight roots of this nation were revealed, and they forgot their luck and began to dwell on the lost land. The first thing they wanted was to ask the Ming Dynasty to return to Jeju Island. They feel that the Ming Dynasty still wants to have a good relationship with them, and because the country is very vast, maybe they won't mind too much about the island in the sea, give them some good words, and maybe they can get Jeju Island back. Therefore, he sent people to the Ming Dynasty, from Beijing to Yaogang to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What the envoy didn't expect was that this time the Ming Dynasty was not polite, not only did not give Jeju Island, but also felt that the last border division was a loss, and wanted to redraw the border. How could the North Korean envoy suffer such a loss, he shook a shot and said that he would go back and discuss with the king before replying.

How could Li Liang agree to divide the land again, and the result of discussing with the ministers was that he resolutely did not send people back to the Ming Dynasty. There was no good fruit to eat in the Ming Dynasty, so the North Korean envoy disappeared when he returned.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not chase this, Li Liang knew that this matter was not resolved and it was over early. Li Liang, who was terrified, kept hearing that the Ming Dynasty had defeated the Japanese and Mongols. Recently, I got the news that the Ming Dynasty unified the Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas. The momentum of the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, Li Liang knows that the Ming Dynasty will dominate the world, and sooner or later he will turn back and clean himself up, and now he has not moved himself, and more dangerous things are behind.

How could the Korean ministers not know about this, and after discussing it with Li Liang, they made every effort to reorganize the army. The whole country collected copper and iron, built a lot of muskets and cannons, not only trained many troops, but also organized the whole people into soldiers.

Li Qi knew that the confrontation between such a force and the current Ming army was tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, and the previous contest had long been proved. However, Li Liang felt that North Korea was his own, and he would rather smash it than hand it over to others. Even so, Li Wei didn't expect the Ming army to make a move on them so quickly.

In this operation to seize the port of Busan, Yaogang adopted the tactics of killing chickens with knives. Two 5,000-ton transport ships, two 1,800-ton warships, four 1,500-ton warships, 10 landing craft, and many small boats and other auxiliary vessels were used. Yaogang's special task force was personally commanded by Mu Yi. They had arrived at the port of Busan the night before, and as soon as it was dawn, the ships were heading for the port of Busan as planned. At this time, the whole port was still asleep, and the sound of the roar of the Yaogang warship resounded throughout the port of Busan, and the warships had already lined up in the port, and the heavy guns on each ship were now equivalent to putting their guns on the batteries on the port of Busan. With an order, the heavy artillery of each ship, at the same time, began to fire at their assigned targets.

After the earth-shattering sound of cannons, the forts on the shore exploded like landslides and cracks, like flower petals flying in the wind, and flew into the sky in pieces.

Neither the soldiers nor the civilians of the Port of Busan had ever heard such a terrible explosion, and before they could figure out what was going on. Heavy artillery was cleared of batteries in various parts of the port of Busan, and several barracks on the pier began to be bombarded.

There are a total of three military camps in the port of Busan, all of which are not far from the pier for ease of movement. The officers and soldiers in the barracks will also be awakened by the trembling of the earth and the sound of explosions, and they are gathering in the camp in a panic, and the shells fly towards them.

Whether it is a 203 caliber shell or a 130 caliber shell, if it falls into the barracks, it will explode a piece of flesh. After a barracks is covered by naval artillery, there are basically not a few people left who are still intact. At the same time as the shelling, more than 1,000 officers and men of the Marine Corps rushed to the predetermined targets under the cover of artillery trucks released from the landing craft that rushed to the beach. Before the sun could fully rise, the Marines had taken full control of the port of Busan.

Several large ships also docked, soldiers began to go ashore along the gangway, cranes also began to lift heavy guns and tractors, transport cars. The work is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Mu Yi didn't think it was difficult to do this kind of action, and the officers of the navy army were also very comfortable doing these jobs.

Infantry division commander Song Ying chatted with Mu Yi and Zheng Zhilong on the Hongzehu, and looked at the landing soldiers through the window on the cockpit.

Mu Yi said: "We can help you with the matter of approaching the coast, go ashore, and then go inside, you have to rely on yourself!" ”

Although Song Ying is a teacher and a lot worse than Mu Yi's level, Song Ying is an old man in the kiln, and she doesn't care about anyone when she sees her, and she talks to Mu Yi and them very casually, "Oops! Commander Mu, you cheat me! Listening to the sound of your ships running, we listen to our own infantry guns, mortars don't feel like it's fun! ”

"Come on! Your artillery regiment also has a lot of 130 heavy guns," Zheng Zhilong said, "that kind of artillery was born from the same mother as the 130 guns on our ship!" ”

"Huh!" Song Ying smiled and said, "That's right, but the cannonballs we use have to be pulled by our own cars, so we can't use them like you." Heavy artillery can only be used when it is critical. ”

Mu Yi said: "Yes! To be honest, fighting with the Koreans with heavy artillery regiments is simply bullying. I think you can use it when you attack the city. When encountering the North Korean army, your mortars, infantry guns, and heavy machine guns are enough! ”

"No, I really want to clean up the North Koreans with you!" Zheng Zhilong said.

"Oops! The trouble is, Mr. Zhang has an order to kill as few people as possible! It's not like dealing with the Japanese, but it would be easier for us to talk about it at the roots! Song Ying said.

Mu Yi said: "There is only one division on your side, and if it is strengthened, it is more than 10,000 people. I don't think it's the main direction of attack, but it is still to contain North Korea. You just have to make the movement louder. ”

"Huh! I know the task, but 10,000 people dare to deal with a million of them. Song Ying said, "The containment task must be completed, and there should be no fewer people who should be killed!" ”

"Come on! You are under a lot of logistical pressure, there are no bullets, shells, gasoline, and the weapons in your hands are really inferior to the broadswords and spears of the North Koreans! Zheng Zhilong said.

"To tell the truth, as long as there is enough ammunition, 10,000 people like us can completely sweep the world." Song Ying said, "If nothing else, someone from the North Koreans must have sent a letter to them in Wangjing Hancheng!" ”

The Yaogang task force quickly seized the port of Busan by smashing walnuts with heavy hammers and killing chickens with knives, and after the infantry landed, they immediately developed in all directions and established a solid defense area around the port of Busan. However, after Song Ying and the others occupied the port of Busan, they did not immediately develop westward, and only acted with Wei Xiang and them on the western front two days later.

There's a time lag in that.

The port of Busan was occupied by the Yaogang people, and the Koreans who were in the port of Busan had to be given time to deliver a message to Wangjing Hanseong.

Just as Liu Yun and the Central Staff deduced it, when the defenders of Busan Port confirmed that Busan Port was occupied by the Yaogang people, they immediately sent several waves of fast horses to send a message to Wang Jing Hancheng.

Li Liang was shouted by the minister at night. Li Liang knew that something must have happened, otherwise no one would dare to shout at this time. Despite his preparations, Li Liang was also surprised to hear that the port of Busan had been suddenly occupied by the Yaogang people. The port of Busan is the most well-defended place in North Korea, so how could the Yaogang people land here from such a distance.

The ministers were already trembling and looking at themselves, they knew that the last time the Ming Dynasty would not end like that, but after a long time, they also forgot a little, and now that the Ming army suddenly made a move, they knew that the situation was not good. Now that the Ming army has almost unified the whole world, it is logical to finally clean up Korea. The ministers were waiting for Li Liang to make a decision on whether to fight or surrender.

Li Liang, who calmed down, said: "The Ming army attacked us from that side to beat us off guard, they suddenly took advantage of it, they will not stop there, they will definitely attack our Wang Jing, we must immediately organize the army to attack the port of Busan, and strive to recapture the port of Busan." At the latest, it is necessary to delay the speed of the Ming army's attack on Wang Jing. ”

One of the ministers said: "The Western Front must also be prepared immediately." That's the biggest threat! ”

Another minister said: "The Ming army on the western front is the most powerful, why did they not attack, but attacked from the port of Pusan, to the east of us?" ”

"The western front of the Ming army is strong, and the main force of our army is also here, so they are avoiding the real and making up the false." Li said, "Order the Western Front to be ready." We must drive the Ming army that has landed into the sea! Otherwise, we will fight on both sides and will not be able to support for long! ”

The Koreans were well prepared for the war, and soon decided to mobilize 50,000 troops to advance eastward, with the aim of recapturing the port of Busan, which was occupied by the Ming army. In less than a day and less than two days, the vanguard army set out eastward. It's not just these 50,000 people, but the North Korean army will also gather some troops along the way, and they will gather together.

Just two days after the Yaogang army occupied the port of Busan, Wei Xiang on the Western Front and Song Ying on the Eastern Front began attacking operations at the same time.

Wei Xiang and their attack points were Yuanshan and Yanshan, and each had a main division to start acting at the same time. Both locations have a checkpoint for entering and exiting North Korea. On this day, the North Korean side had received information about the occupation of the port of Busan, and the checkpoint was blocked. When the Yaogang army attacked, it did not fire the artillery first, but the artillery convoy suddenly rushed towards the checkpoint, the artillery truck smashed the wooden fence, and then ran over it, and encountered the Korean officers and soldiers, the guns and machine guns on the sports car opened fire at the same time, and the attacking artillery carriage was a company of 12 vehicles. Soon the North Korean officers and soldiers near the border were cleared. The gun truck was followed by a group of mechanized regiments driving four-wheel-drive vehicles, and along the way, they opened fire with the heavy machine guns of the cars when they encountered suspicious targets.

Such a torrent of machinery can be stopped by the officers and soldiers of North Korea who are armed with big swords and long hair.

A long run has begun!
