readx;??? The first line of defense of the Japanese army, 60 miles outside Seoul, was violently bombarded by the heavy artillery of the two artillery regiments of the First Division of the Hainan Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Japanese 16th Division in Seoul was under great threat.

At the same time, Zhu Yuxin's 2nd Infantry Division of the 7th Army of the Hainan Army started the battle of attacking Ganghwa Island from the direction of Panmunjom, and the two mixed brigades of the 10th Army and the 3rd Infantry Division of Luhua started the attack on Ganghwa Island from the direction of Kaesong.

Xu Chunsheng's Bohai fleet also began shelling Ganghwa Island from Ganghwa Bay at sea. Ganghwa Island was quickly surrounded by Hainan's army.

The two heavy artillery regiments of the 1st Division, after nearly two hours of non-stop bombardment of the first line of defense on the perimeter of the Japanese army in Seoul, temporarily stopped shelling.

The first line of defense of the Japanese army in Seoul was basically completely destroyed, and the ground that had been blown up by artillery shells was full of Japanese corpses. There was a brief silence outside Seoul.

Jiro Okamura looked through binoculars at the artillery positions of the 1st Division of the Hainan Army, and they began to move the gun positions back.

"Yaga!" Okamura was furious and said, "The artillery of the Hainan army is too cunning, and it has just hit our Imperial Japanese Army with heavy artillery fire, and now it wants to take the initiative to retreat?" ”

"Yes, General Okamura. It seems that they are going to retreat to the vicinity of Ganghwa Island, are they going to attack Ganghwa Island from the south? The division chief of staff Shigemoto Oshima replied, and then asked: "General, what should we do now?" ”

Jiro Okamura, commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, watched through his binoculars that the 1st Division had begun to retreat north, and their infantry and cavalry were gone.

Okamura was puzzled, why did the Hainan First Division retreat after just bombing for a while? Could it be that it was just to prepare for the attack on Ganghwa Island, and the bombing was just to confuse their defenders of Seoul?

In fact, the commander of the 1st Division, Xiang Zhicheng, did not want to attack Ganghwa Island, but really confused the Japanese troops stationed in Seoul.

While they were shelling the Japanese positions, taking advantage of the smoke of dusty artillery fire, the division commander of Mujiseong ordered two infantry regiments and a cavalry brigade to detour back to the east and west flanks of Seoul to ambush them.

The two artillery regiments moved backward in order to adjust the artillery distance, and when the Japanese in the city pursued out, the cavalry brigade and two infantry regiments ambushed on the east and west flanks could cut off their rear routes.

The battle on Ganghwa Island was extremely fierce at the moment, and the Japanese 23rd Division was fiercely attacked by the 2nd Infantry Division of the Hainan Seventh Army and the 3rd Division of the 10th Army and two mixed brigades from the direction of Panmunjom.

The Japanese 34th Artillery Squadron, which was supporting Ganghwa Island, was stopped halfway by the 3rd Division of the Hainan Seventh Army.

The Japanese army was attacked by the Hainan army from all sides on Ganghwa Island.

The defenders of Ganghwa Island, the commander of the 3rd Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, Kojiro Matsumoto, asked the division commander in Seoul, Jiro Okamura, for help and asked him to mobilize the artillery squadron as soon as possible, the firepower of the Hainan army was too fierce. (Fastest update)

Okamura Jiro watched the two artillery regiments of the First Division of the Hainan Army gradually retreat back, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Are they really going to withdraw to attack Ganghwa Island?" ”

Shigemoto Oshima, chief of staff of the division, said: "General, if the strength of this division attacks from the south side of Ganghwa Island again, Ganghwa Island will be even more difficult to support. ”

Jiro Okamura hesitated for a moment and said, "Order the 1st Infantry Wing to hold Seoul." The 4th Infantry Wing, the 2nd Infantry Wing, and the Field Artillery Wing immediately pursued out of Seoul and must annihilate the Hainan army between Ganghwa Island and Seoul. ”

"Hay!" Shigemoto Oshima, chief of staff of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, responded, and then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

"Hmph, want to run away? It's not that easy. Although the Hainan army fought bravely, it is a pity that it has no brains! A sneer crossed the corner of Okamura's mouth.

Okamura Jiro found that the two artillery regiments of the first division of the Hainan army had retreated one after another, and the cavalry brigade and infantry regiment were no longer visible.

Liu Fangjun, chief of staff of the First Division of the Hainan Army, said: "Commander Xiang, the Japanese army has been fooled, they have already begun to go out of the city!" ”

"That's great, we're halfway through our plan to lure the snake out of the hole. The next step is to kill a horse gun! Xiang Zhicheng raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of Seoul, only to see the Japanese troops in Seoul on the opposite side open the city gate, and thousands of devil soldiers jumped out of the trenches one after another, holding the 38 rifles with bayonets on them, like a herd of wild horses, howling and rushing over.

After seeing that the last group of troops of the devils had all left the city, Xiang Zhicheng ordered: "Order all units to prepare for battle, the heavy artillery regiment adjusts its direction, and the target Japanese position begins to bombard!" ”

At the same time, the signalmen were ordered to give a signal, and the cavalry brigade and two infantry regiments lying in ambush on the east and west flanks of Seoul began to charge the Japanese artillery wing, which was adjusting the gun pitch.

Suddenly, the two infantry wings of the Japanese army that charged forward were blown up by the dense shells, and they screamed again and again.

The Japanese troops on the position of the field artillery wing of the 16th Division were blinded by the Hainan Cavalry Brigade that broke through and rushed in, and they were at a loss for a while.

Just when these Japanese troops hesitated, the officers and men of the cavalry brigade of the Hainan army, wielding swords, wantonly shuttled through the middle of the Japanese artillery wing, and in an instant, the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded.

After the frantic onslaught of the Hainan Cavalry Brigade, next, the machine gun companies of the two infantry regiments of the Hainan Army began to fire at the Japanese artillery positions like a storm.

Xiang Zhicheng calculated that the Japanese devils would not easily let go of the smooth retreat of the First Division, and now, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army should not know that this is just a trick to lure the enemy by the First Division of the Hainan Army.

Therefore, Mukito ordered the brothers of the 1st Division to annihilate the rampant Japanese 16th Division in one fell swoop.

When Jiro Okamura saw the shelling of the Hainan army, he stood on the walls of Seoul and shouted, but it was too late by this time.

His two infantry wings have become the targets of the Hainan army artillery regiment, and the devils of these infantry wings are really extremely accurate in their positions, and they have run into almost every place where the shells landed.

What surprised Okamura even more was that his heavy artillery wing had not yet opened its stance, and it had already been dispersed by the cavalry brigade of the Hainan army, and it was completely annihilated without a single shell being fired.

At this moment, Okamura really regrets it, it was better to shoot all these shells out at the beginning, maybe there will be some hope, and now, these wild mountain cannons have become fat in the other party's mouth, and I feel distressed! That's a heart-wrenching pain!

At this time, some of the dying and struggling Japanese devils rushed out of the artillery fire, like desperate trapped beasts, rushing towards the position of the First Division all over the mountains.

Mukinoshiro ordered the machine gun company and the bomb platoon to prepare to shoot and drop bombs, and when the devils entered the firing range, the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company fired at the Japanese devils who rushed over in a volley.

After a burst of heavy shooting, the devils who rushed up fell in pieces, but a group of devils still rushed up against the bullets, and they were like crazy.

The soldiers of the bomb throwing platoon threw the bombs in their hands one after another at the crowd of charging Japanese soldiers.

With the sound of explosions, there were few Japanese troops left in waves.
