Chapter 408: Goryeo's Catastrophe
The Japanese army and the Hubei army joined forces to deal with the Huaxia army was only a temporary strategy, and now the Hubei army could not help them return to China, and it was difficult to protect themselves, so they immediately wanted to terminate the cooperation and flee as soon as possible.
When the Japanese army was quietly moving, as Kodama Gentaro expected, there was really chaos in the headquarters of the Hubei army.
A large group of officers were busy, and it was not easy to wake up Alekseev who had fallen unconscious, but Alekseev, the bearded Alekseev with a majestic appearance, became soft as soon as he woke up: "Why, why, what kind of magic did those yellow-skinned monkeys have, they sank the powerful Pacific Fleet of the Oros Empire, and captured Vladivostok as well......"
Chief of Staff Stessel was anxious, but it was not good to urge the commander to make a decisive decision quickly, but he had to say: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am afraid that the Japanese army will run away!" ”
"Why did the Japanese army run? Where else can they run? ”
The officers in the headquarters stared at Stessel with wide eyes, wondering why he had made such a judgment.
"The Japanese army leaned towards us, just taking a fancy to our Pacific Fleet, and could escort them back to the Japanese country, but now that our Pacific Fleet is gone, it will inevitably go south to the Goryeo Peninsula, and it will not fight with us with one heart!"
"Then their escape to the Goryeo Peninsula is also a dead word, rather than this, it is better to fight with us, and maybe defeat the Huaxia Empire!"
At this time, Stepel ignored Alekseev's fainting again, and directly stated his judgment: "With the fall of the Vladivostok base, our supply base in the Far East has been lost, and we no longer have the ability to fight the Chinese Empire in the Far East, the only way is to leave here quickly......"
Alekseev was furious when he heard this: "Leave here, where to go? ”
"Immediately go north to join the First Army, and then get in touch with the Third Army, rely on the territory of the Baikal Front, threaten the Chinese Empire to the east, and then try to recapture Vladivostok!"
Who knows, Alekseev was furious when he heard this, and he suddenly jumped up in the marching bed and scolded: "To the north? You're going to be a deserter, a deserter, a shameful deserter! Our Far Eastern Front wants to immediately recover the fortress of Vladivostok......"
"Your Excellency Commander, if our Second Army goes north now, there is still a chance to rescue the troops of the First Army and join forces with the Third Army, and then we can try to go south to capture Vladivostok, but if we turn back to fight Vladivostok now, the Huaxia Army in the west will inevitably quickly surround it, and our current heavy weapons are insufficient, it is difficult to defeat this strongly-defended Vladivostok fortress, and the Second Army will be very dangerous, and this Japanese army will go south, our flanks will be immediately exposed, and another Huaxia Army will be interspersed, The Second Army will be surrounded on all sides, and it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated......"
Stessel was desperate to speak his judgment.
"The Second Army of our Far Eastern Front has now collected young and middle-aged Cossacks from the entire Far Eastern Coastal Region, with a strength of 400,000 troops, plus 600,000 Goryeo cannon fodder handed over to us by the Japanese army, and a whole army of one million. Why can't you go back and take Vladivostok? Vladivostok must be recovered immediately from the hands of the yellow-skinned monkey, immediately, immediately, you don't understand, you don't understand......"
Alekseev yelled as hard as he could, knocked over the marching bed with one kick, and then rushed forward and tore up the map on the table.
In fact, this Alekseev is not stubborn, but he must act like this, otherwise, his political enemies in Moscow will not let him go, even if he is the illegitimate son of the former tsar and has lost the only fortress in the Far East with access to the sea, it is already light to be immediately dismissed from the post of commander of the Far Eastern Front, I am afraid that I will not want to return to Moscow in this life.
With Alekseev forcibly demanding an operation towards Vladivostok, the fate of the 2nd Army was decided.
If the Hubei army wanted to recover Vladivostok, it could not care about the Japanese army that fled south, but concentrated on organizing the eastward march to fight against the Huaxia army.
This time, the Japanese army fled to the Goryeo Peninsula very decisively, leaving all the Goryeo cannon fodder to the Hubei army, which made the nominal number of the Hubei army reach a huge 1.5 million horses.
But these Goryeo cannon fodder were originally under the control of the Japanese army who were familiar with the Goryeo language, and they didn't dare to make trouble, and now they were suddenly under the control of the Hubei army who couldn't communicate in the language at all, so where did they have any thoughts.
After the Japanese army left, many Koreans immediately became chaotic, some wanted to follow the Japanese army back to the Goryeo Peninsula, and some still honestly obeyed the command of the Hubei army and continued to play the role of cannon fodder.
However, those who wanted to flee back to the Goryeo Peninsula were intercepted and stopped by the Japanese army.
When Hu Zhen received the news in Vladivostok that the Japanese army had fled south to the Goryeo Peninsula again, he made a decision without hesitation: "Immediately notify the General Staff that the air force should take off and bomb all the roads advancing south, and as many Japanese troops as they can be killed!" ”
Zheng Dingbang suggested: "Should we send marines to land and send the army from Liaodong to cut off the road for the Japanese army to flee south to the Goryeo Peninsula!" ”
"As long as the Japanese army fleeing south is consumed, it is enough, and the ground troops should not be dispatched first."
"Then there will definitely be a large part of the Japanese army fleeing into the Goryeo Peninsula, which will bring us a lot of trouble to completely enter the Goryeo Peninsula in the future!" Zheng Dingbang was a little worried.
"It's okay, now that we have annihilated the Pacific Fleet, the entire North Pacific is up to us, this Japanese army can't turn the sky, let's focus on solving the Far Eastern Front of the Hubei Army first!"
"Yes!"
In fact, Zheng Dingbang also knew in his heart that this was to maximize the consumption of the human resources of the Goryeo Peninsula and the Wa State, and if the high-quality young human resources of the Wa State and Goryeo were consumed, after the war, no matter whether the Wa State and Goryeo still surrendered to the Chinese Empire and became a province or region, they would have no part in the Pacific East Asian region.
After receiving the order, the air force of the Huaxia Army immediately dispatched airships and planes to bomb them, and the Japanese army left behind corpses and rivers of blood in the ditches on the side of the road.
After such a toss, only about 100,000 people were left in the Goryeo Peninsula who returned to the Goryeo Peninsula, but under their obstruction, not many of the young and middle-aged cannon fodder in Goryeo could escape back.
At this time, almost all the young and middle-aged people in the Goryeo Peninsula were taken north by the Japanese army, and the rest were some women, children, and the elderly, who were powerless to resist the brutal rule of the 100,000 Japanese army.
In fact, even the Goryeo Peninsula has millions of young and middle-aged people, and it is no match for the 100,000 elite Japanese army.
This time, the policy of the Japanese army in the Goryeo Peninsula was even more exhaustive, and all women between the ages of thirteen and fifty were recruited and distributed among the Japanese soldiers as wives and concubines, so as to give birth to groups of small Japanese seeds.
In this case, the Koreans will definitely resist desperately.
As a result, all the rebels were killed, and even the old people and boys who had no ability to resist were also killed.
The corpses everywhere, not dealt with in time, caused a terrible plague, and even more people died on the Goryeo Peninsula.
This is an unprecedented catastrophe!
From north to south, the Goryeo Peninsula became a deserted and dead land.
In order to prevent the plague from flowing into the territory, the Chinese Empire ordered a blockade of the Goryeo Peninsula and forbade the Chinese to come into contact with the Goryeo people, and even the Huaxia army was temporarily not allowed to enter the territory of Goryeo.
This makes the people in the Goryeo Peninsula anxious, because everyone with brains knows that only the nearby Huaxia Empire is their great savior, and if the Huaxia Empire makes a move, the humans on the Goryeo Peninsula can survive, otherwise the Goryeo people will be extinct.
But how can the Chinese Empire come to the rescue?
In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Goryeo pro-Chinese faction was either killed by the Japanese army, or had completely lost power, and the people in power were all pro-Japanese factions, but they did not expect that the Qing State would quickly change to a powerful Chinese Empire, and the Goryeo people were not prepared at all.
In the end, the remnants of the elders of Goryeo thought of Yuan Shikai, who had been stationed in Goryeo for 12 years, so they united and wrote a letter to Yuan Shikai.
However, this letter could not be sent out under the interception of the Japanese army and the strict blockade of the Huaxia army, and it could not reach Yuan Shikai's hands at all.
Before the Chinese Empire took the initiative, the human race on the Goryeo Peninsula had to continue to endure unprecedented catastrophe! (To be continued.) )
