In the sky of Pingcheng, from time to time, there were combat planes of the Northeast Army, and transport planes flew by whizzing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Some transport planes circled over the drop points set up by the ground forces, while others flew directly further south.

On the ground, there is an endless stream of officers and soldiers from the Northeast who are carrying supplies back and forth, looking down from a high altitude, like an ant colony moving.

On the official road from Dingzhou to Pingcheng, thousands of military trucks meander and twist, like a huge steel dragon, moving at full speed.

Everywhere the vehicle passes, smoke and dust rise, looking from the sky, it is quite spectacular.

 "Pig", "Pig", "Island" novels; More than 20 kilometers north of Pingcheng, this is where the airport is located.

When the Japanese troops withdrew from the area, they destroyed the runway and other infrastructure of the airport, and the entire airport was full of craters and rubble.

Under Zhang Xinghan's repeated urging orders, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others organized hundreds of elite sappers and requisitioned more than 1,000 Goryeo strong laborers and carried out emergency repairs for two days and two nights in a row.

An infantry battalion was stationed at the airport to maintain order and watch over more than 1,000 Korean laborers.

A group of cavalry galloped from the official road in the direction of Pingcheng, and as far as the eye could see, there were about a dozen or so horsemen.

After a guard squad guarding the perimeter of the airport saw the people clearly, a squad leader hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted: "Deputy Commander Zhao, are you here?" ”

In order to save fuel, he found more than a dozen captured horses from Pingcheng and rushed to the airport to inspect the progress of the airport repair.

Zhao Zhenfan replied slightly with a smile and said, "Remove the obstacles, I want to go in to inspect the progress of the project." ”

"Yes!" The squad leader hurriedly responded, turned around and waved his hand behind him, and some soldiers had already moved the barricades out of the way to get out of the way.

Zhao Zhenfan grabbed the horse's belly and rushed in with more than a dozen cavalry.

Seeing Zhao Zhenfan's arrival, a commander of an engineer battalion in charge of repairing the airport hurriedly greeted him. Saluted: "Sir, are you here?" ”

Zhao Zhenfan nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted, and after looking around, he asked, "Battalion Commander Wu, when will the airport be put into use at the earliest?" ”

Battalion Commander Wu thought for a while and said: "It will take two more days at the earliest, and this runway will be blown up beyond recognition by devils, and even if it is repaired, it will take a few days to solidify before it can be put into use." ”

Zhao Zhenfan turned his head to look around, walked around and said, "Within two days." The airfield must be able to be put into service, this is the order of the commander-in-chief. ”

"But......" Camp Commander Wu had a difficult face when he heard this.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhenfan waved his hand and said: "I don't care how difficult it is, this is something you need to consider, the military situation is like fire, even if it is a big difficulty, you have to find a way to solve it!" ”

Battalion Commander Wu had no choice but to respond: "Yes! However, sir, there is a requirement that you must fulfill, otherwise the task will not be completed on time. ”

"Say it." Zhao Zhenfan said expressionlessly.

"It should be done in two days. You have to recruit another thousand Korean laborers for the lowly position, and you need young and middle-aged people, and you can do heavy work! Camp Commander Wu said.

"Okay, I'll send you another 2,000 men." Zhao Zhenfan patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "There is free labor." Don't spare any effort, it's okay to call me to death, the most important thing is to complete the tasks assigned to us by the commander-in-chief on time, otherwise military law will do it. No toleration. ”

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Wu noticed the harshness of Zhao Zhenfan's last two sentences, and couldn't help but straighten up and said loudly: "Please rest assured, sir, you will definitely go all out in your humble position." Completed the tasks assigned to me by Shangfeng on time. ”

Zhao Zhenfan nodded with satisfaction, and accompanied by Battalion Commander Wu, after inspecting the airport for a while, he rode back to Pingcheng with the guards.

At the same time, on the official road south of Panmunjom.

Gao Chuqin led a tank regiment to cross the 38th parallel and advance towards Seoul.

However, as soon as they had not traveled far, they were blocked by a river that was nearly a kilometer long.

The tank regiment had temporarily stopped advancing, and as soon as Gao Chu got out of the tank and came to the edge of the Han River, the commander of the tank regiment walked over quickly and saluted, "Division, the Han River is ahead." ”

Gao Chu nodded: "How about it, have you found a suitable bridge point?" ”

"Not yet, but the engineer company has already gone to the northeast to look for it, and there should be news soon." The commander of the tank regiment said angrily: "The little devil of the dog day is really ruthless, blowing up bridges and destroying roads everywhere, trying to drag us down, wishful thinking is really fucking wrong, we have a bridge tank, this river still can't be stopped!" ”

"The devils are defeated like a mountain, and it is not surprising that the bridge will be blown up." Gao Chu paused and said, "Order the troops to rest on the spot and wait for the engineer company to work." ”

"Yes." The commander of the tank regiment answered, and immediately turned and left.

……………………

Since the number of bridge-building tanks carried by the early tank regiment was not very large, they had to find a relatively narrow river basin as a bridge-building point and build bridges.

Therefore, when they crossed the Han River to the outskirts of Seoul, the Japanese troops in Seoul, along with Japanese merchants and expatriates, had already evacuated the area.

The streets of Seoul were filled with panicked Koreans, and not even a single Japanese was seen.

Gao Chu led the tank regiment into the city, and the plaster flags of devils were still everywhere on the streets, and it was not difficult to imagine how panicked the Japanese were when they evacuated.

Some houses and shops on both sides of the street look in horror at the Chinese army that has caused the Japanese to flee.

Some old Koreans seem to think of the scene where the Chinese army fought the Japanese here many years ago.

Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, the situation reversed, and the Chinese, their suzerain, came back.

But what they don't know is that the current Chinese army is no longer the waste wood army of their original suzerain.

After Gao Chu entered the urban area of Seoul, since the follow-up troops had not yet arrived, he temporarily stopped his advance and stayed in Seoul, while reporting the victory to Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe and others, while urging reinforcements to arrive quickly, so as to continue southward and sweep the entire Goryeo Peninsula.

……………………

The county seat of Andong.

"Commander, all the Japanese troops in Seoul have fled, and Gao Chu took the entire city of Seoul without a single soldier, but the follow-up troops have just completed the logistics supply and are still on their way." Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan after reading the message.

Zhang Xinghan looked up at the map and said: "Gao Chu's headquarters has become a lone army, if the Japanese still have the strength now, cut off the retreat of the Han River, then Gao Chu will be in danger." ”

"yes." Jiang Baili nodded approvingly and said, "However, the Japanese army has already lost more than half of its forces on the Goryeo Peninsula, and it has no air supremacy, so such a situation is impossible." ”

"Where is the main force of the Northern Route Army now?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

Jiang Baili thought for a while and replied, "It should be almost to Seoul." ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this: "Then let Gao Chu wait a little, it is really too dangerous for the strength of a tank regiment to advance rashly, and without the assistance of the infantry regiment, they will inevitably be bound by the occupied territory." ”

"In addition, I order all units of the Southern Route Army to also speed up the march, except for the necessary remaining troops, the whole army will march south, take Seoul as the base camp, and attack the South Peninsula!" Zhang Xinghan suddenly added: "But there is one point, I have to tell Wang Yizhe that I must be more wary of coastal areas such as Incheon, just in case." ”

"Incheon? Is the commander worried that the Japanese may carry out a landing assault on us in order to threaten the rear of our army? Jiang Baili asked curiously.

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "The whole Japanese army retreats to the Pusan area, and our army's battle line is bound to move south, if the war lasts."

It is not excluded that Japanese reinforcements will land in Inchon and other places in order to threaten the rear of our front-line troops! ”

After listening to Zhang Xinghan's explanation, Jiang Baili nodded.

……………………

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, the Northern Route Army of Gao Chu and the main force of Wang Yizhe's Southern Route Army arrived in Seoul one after another the next day.

Before the arrival of the main force of the Southern Route Army, Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng, who rushed to help, and Du Ting led the main force of the Northern Route Army to set off south.

So far, the strength of the Northeast Frontier Army south of the Han River has exceeded 170,000 troops, more than 1,000 tanks and combat vehicles, and several heavy artillery brigades have also crossed the Han River one after another and arrived in Seoul.

Gao Chu and others led the main force of the Northern Route Army, formed a vanguard assault group with four tank regiments, and advanced along the official road in the direction of Busan.

Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others distributed troops and began to attack and occupy cities south of the Han River, which had basically been abandoned by the Japanese army.

Within two days, the northeastern frontier army swept through most of the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula with a devastating force.

More than 60 percent of the important towns were captured, among which the assault group of the Northern Route Army, under the cover of the air force, successively captured Chuncheon, Andong, Ulsan, Daegu and other places, and the front of the troops had approached Busan, Gwangju and other places.

……………………

The county seat of Andong, the headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Guo Zhong came to Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili with a telegram in his hand and said: "General seat, chief of staff, all units on the front line of our army have reported frequent successes, and almost all the south of the Han River has been captured by our army. ”

"How's the direction of Busan?" Zhang Xinghan is most concerned with Busan, where the remaining Japanese troops on the Goryeo Peninsula are basically gathered, and it will be the final contest between China and Japan on the Goryeo Peninsula.

It is also the most critical battle of the Northeast Frontier Army.

"The 400 tanks of the Northern Route Army have approached Pusan, and now they have several contact battles with the Japanese periphery." Guo Zhong replied.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, there is also news from the direction of Pingcheng, Pingcheng Airport can be repaired and put into use." Guo Zhong suddenly added.

"Really?" When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, we have to go to Pingcheng, I will personally deploy the air raid on the Japanese mainland, and command the next Busan attack!" (To be continued......)
