In late autumn, the fields of Eastern Europe take on a dull dark brown color, the woods have entered the season of falling leaves, the animals are busy preparing for winter, the wheat fields are desolate after harvesting, and the last ears of wheat have already been picked up by the birds.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the autumn mood became a little stronger.

"Your Majesty, ahead is Turkish airspace! Our allies have sent a fleet of planes to lead the way! ”

When the attendant reported to Chentian through the in-flight phone, Chentian could already see the Turkish fighters with yellow-green colors and red logos painted on the nose through the portholes.

The first stop after the "Royal Day Erman" took off from Berlin was Istanbul, more than 1,500 kilometers away, and in the past 3 hours of the voyage, Chen Tian spent half an hour reviewing the documents sent by the command before boarding, and played a few games of chess with Juliana, the result of the chess game was naturally insignificant, and after a while Juliana said that she was tired, and was lying on the comfortable bed to take a nap.

Chen Tian rubbed his eyes, lowered the curtain next to the desk, and leaned back on the big back chair. At this time, Turkey was no longer the "sick man of Europe" ridiculed by the great powers, and the new Turkish Democratic Republic had successfully passed 19 years since its founding in 1910. Although the state system is different from that of Germany, Turkey has always had close relations with Germany in terms of military, economy, and politics. In Chentian's view, this relationship is very similar to the United States and Britain in later generations, Britain has always been grateful for the United States' assistance in World War II, so the United States has actively followed in all post-war military operations, not only did not have the arrogance of the empire that never set, but willingly played the role of the United States' small follower.

In this world, Turkey obviously also plays such a role, expeditions to Southeast Asia, waving troops to Russia, and to this day their navy and air force are still fighting at the forefront of the Far East with the German ** team. Of the allied fleet that shelled the port of Incheon alone, Turkish battleships accounted for half!

Chen Tian was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, when the phone on the table rang again, and he glanced at Juliana, who was sleeping soundly. Then pick up the microphone.

"Hey...... Oh...... Well, let him bring the telegram! ”

After putting down the phone, Chen Tian walked alone through the middle dining room to the living room, and when he sat down on the sofa, the accompanying chief of staff of the officer corps, Fritz Erich von . Major General Manstein also happened to climb up from the gangway.

"Erich, is there good news from the front?"

Chen Tian raised his head and asked the young general, who had just celebrated his 42nd birthday three days earlier, when Rundstead, Rommel and Dönitz were all fighting on the front line, Manstein chose to continue as a staff officer in the Supreme Command. Because he thought that he could learn more valuable things by following the Kaiser.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The 1st Marine Division has already begun to land at the port of Incheon! ”

Manstein handed a telegram tucked in a folder to Chentian with both hands, and at this time he was not wearing a military hat as usual, so his hair was lined with a neatly combed look particularly heroic.

"So the flood season has come as scheduled?" Chen Tian quickly scanned the telegram, as a "prophet", his knowledge of Incheon basically came from the famous landing campaign launched by the American army in another world, Inchon here is still the Incheon that was considered difficult to land, but at certain times of the year, the flood season will help the attackers' ships to approach the beach smoothly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Only a few hours later than we predicted. I think the victory in this battle should be attributed first of all to our geohydrological experts! "When it comes to this. Manstein's eyes showed a kind of sincere admiration, because when the plan for the battle in the strait was first planned, almost no one in the entire Supreme Command proposed that Inchon be the main landing site, because the landing conditions there were so bad. The strength of the navy and air force also ensured that the German landing in the mountains and other ports could also be successful, so when Chentian proposed to land at Incheon, most of the generals were puzzled, and when Chentian came up with a copy of the hydrological data of the major ports on the Korean Peninsula, most people, including Manstein, were speechless.

Now, the facts have once again proved how wise the decision of Chentiandi was - the Japanese troops stationed in Korea were obviously deceived, and their main forces were deployed in the two ports of Gunsan and Mokpo, as well as the two railway junctions of Daejeon and Gwangju, and placed on copies of the tsunami battle plan in the safes of high-ranking officials in Nanjing, which were the main attack points of the German ** team's landing operations and airborne operations, while the troops stationed in Inchon and Seoul were very few.

"The resistance of the Japanese army is minimal!" Manstein added.

"Excellent! I think General Rundstead knows exactly what to do next! By the time we arrived in the Far East. This tsunami battle plan should be nearing completion! Chen Tian put the telegram on the coffee table in front of him, "Erich, will you be disappointed to miss the wonderful scene of this battle?" ”

"No, my esteemed majesty!" Manstein said respectfully, but not pompously, "I didn't miss the best part!" ”

"Oh?" Chen Tian's tone was a little surprised, but his eyes were full of approval.

An hour later, the "Royal Day Erman" arrived in Istanbul with a large group of escort planes, and the current Turkish President and "Father of Turkey" Kemal personally came to the airport to greet him, and the Chentian couple will stay here for one night. The next morning, we left for Tehran, Iran, the second stop of the trip, under Turkish occupation, and finally arrived in Qingdao through Delhi, Germany, India, and Kunming, China.

At this time, on the Korean Peninsula, tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides did not have such a leisure mood.

"Dazuo, look!"

Kataoka, whose face and body were covered with scars, was full of horror, and his right hand gently and helplessly pulled the sleeve of the cake Etsuji Hara.

"I saw it!" The bandaged cake with his forehead wrapped around him also looked depressed, staring at the "white flowers" blooming in the air in front of him, and there were only 27 soldiers and 12 officers around him at the moment, which was all the troops he could find, but the reinforcements promised by Koiso were still missing!

With extremely heavy losses and a lack of heavy weapons, Kiwon was unable to hold his position in the port area, and when the headquarters was bombed and all communication equipment was destroyed, he could only evacuate in the direction of Seoul with these remnants of the defeated generals. Now, the cake had to stop his already unusually heavy footsteps. Although the shocking "white flowers" in front of them are thousands of meters away, they are numbered by hundreds and thousands, and they will undoubtedly become the biggest obstacle to his retreat to Seoul.

Listening to the gradually dense gunfire around him, he gritted his teeth, "Build a position on the spot and prepare for battle!" ”

The officers and soldiers around you, look at me, I look at you, nearly half of them were wounded, and many of them were completely empty-handed. When the order was given, few of them took action.

"Bastards, are you"", Bi Yuan stared at the red eyes, but looking at the officers and soldiers around him who had lost their confidence and ability to fight, he couldn't say the next few words. - There was silence for a while, and a few desperate soldiers simply sat on the ground.

"Dazuo! Osa! ”

One of the few people in the group who still had their rifles on their backs, Private Kataoka and Moto, pointed ahead and shouted again.

He thought he had seen the approaching German paratroopers, but when he raised his binoculars, he saw an earthy yellow troop and a flag with a white background and a strange circular symbol in the center.

"That's ......"

Pianohara searched his mind hard, it was clearly not the German troops, but. It is definitely not a regular Japanese army either.

"Dazuo. I've seen these troops! Another lieutenant officer with a telescope in his hand, "Those are the newly formed 43rd Brigade Regiment, a unit composed entirely of North Koreans except for officers!" ”

1910 year. After Japan forced the Korean government to sign the infamous "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty," which formally annexed Korea, not only did all military, political, and judicial powers on the Korean Peninsula belong to the Japanese government, but all kinds of war resources, including human resources, were also used by Japan.

From the beginning of the laborers and men to the direct recruitment from Korea, to the time when Germany and Japan started the battlefield, the Japanese army, especially the Kwantung Army, already had many Korean soldiers, but the Japanese did not trust these lowly Korean soldiers, so they have always placed these Korean soldiers in a mixed way for better supervision and use. This situation did not change until the time Koiso Kuniaki took office.

With the progress of the German-Japanese War, the Japanese army, which has always flaunted its might in front of Asian countries, realized what is really strong, the continuous bombing of the German army hit Japan's war potential greatly, and Germany's strong support for China also made the Kwantung Army encounter unprecedented resistance on the Pingjin line, gradually, the Japanese army began to be overstretched, so after asking the emperor for approval, Koiso ordered to expand the scale of conscription from Korea, In June 1929, the first Korean unit with more than 80 percent Koreans was formed, the 43rd Korean Brigade of the Japanese Army. By November, the size and equipment of this force could not be compared with that of regular Japanese army brigades, but Koiso had no time to continue reforming the unit.

"Quick! Get them to move closer to us! Oh no, let's move closer to them! "Finally grabbed a life-saving straw cake for a while a little incoherent, it seems that that the army is the reinforcements that Xiao Iso said, I don't know if they didn't receive the news that the mountain port has fallen or was forcibly ordered to retake the mountains, they finally appeared in this place less than 15 kilometers away from the mountain port.

When the Kibara group stumbled to join the unit that was mainly Korean, the hope that had just risen in their hearts suddenly fell to the bottom, although this unit was still driven by the Japanese officers to advance in the direction of Gunsan Port, the vast majority of the team was depressed, and a considerable part of them were wounded, as a brigade and regiment-level unit, there were no mountain artillery-level weapons in this team, and the rifle equipment rate was less than two-thirds.

"Your Excellency is the garrison commander of Gunsan Port, Kishihara Etsuji Daisa?"

"Your Excellency is the brigade commander of the 43rd Brigade, Omoto Nagayoshidasa?"

The cake and the brigade commander looked at each other, surprise and confusion written in each other's eyes.

Usually the commander of the infantry brigade of the Japanese Army is an officer with the rank of major general, but this brigade is an exception, the brigade commander is an army commander who is over sixty years old, and what makes Kikihara even more astonishing is that this Osa is still transferred from the reserve force!

As for the cake field, the whole body can only be described as tattered. When he told Omoto that the thirty or so old and weak soldiers behind him were the last "elite" of the mountain garrison, the white-haired brigade commander sighed heavily.

"After starting from the south of the city, my unit was attacked by German air raids several times, and the only three transmitters in the brigade were all blown up, and contact with the headquarters was lost. On the southern outskirts of Seoul, we fought a battle with the Korean guerrillas, and although we were victorious, at least two squadrons of Korean soldiers took the opportunity to escape! I sent a small group of soldiers into Seoul to borrow a transmitter from the garrison, but I didn't expect ......"

"What? Seoul has already fallen? Kibara asked anxiously.

Omoto shook his head, "No, but it's no different from being lost!" The commander of the garrison died in an air raid by the Germans, the governor fled, and now Seoul has become an empty city! ”

It was as if he had been hit the head, and he almost fell to the ground.

"What? Are you saying that General Maki was killed in battle, and Governor Kawasaki fled? ”

Omoto patted Kijohara on the shoulder with a heavy expression, and then turned to look at his men - 52 Japanese officers and less than 3,000 Korean soldiers, according to Kihara's description, there were at least 20,000 German troops who landed in the mountains, and it was impossible for his own troops to counterattack the mountains, so what about retreating to Seoul? Omoto and his troops also saw the German paratroopers in the airborne just now, although tactically they should quickly go to the German airborne location so that the other side could launch an attack while the other side was not firmly established, but Omoto was not stupid enough to believe that these Korean soldiers with their own intentions and no will to fight would fight as tenaciously as the Japanese soldiers - although the command did not say it explicitly, but Omoto knew that the transfer of his unit to the mountains was to prepare to serve as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect the German attack to come so quickly!

"What's next?"

This was also the place of the Luftwaffe paratrooper Colonel von Brown. An important problem before Eugen Meindel was that the 9th Parachute Regiment under his command had landed on the land that had been studied many times through maps and photographs, but according to the reports of reconnaissance planes and information provided by the Korean guerrillas, there was a Japanese force of several thousand men about 7 kilometers west of their landing site, and another important target, Seoul, 18 kilometers away, was already in a state of disarray. Whether to cooperate with the landing force to flank the remnants of the Japanese army, or to wave his troops directly into Seoul, the ancient capital of Korea, Meindel must make a decision as soon as possible.
