Busan, Japanese Army Headquarters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It had been nearly three days since Okamura Ninji had withdrawn to Busan, and he had voluntarily abandoned Pyeongseong, and his goal of encompassing the vast area south of the Han River, including Seoul, had been achieved.

He successfully exchanged space for three days, and at this time he still had less than 40,000 Japanese troops under his command, and in these three days, Okamura Ninji deployed all the more than 30,000 Japanese troops under his command.

The Busan defense line has been formed, but the tank assault units of the Northeast Frontier Army are also capable of being killed.

Today, Okamura Ninji was very happy, not only because the Busan defense line had been deployed, but because he had just received news that 50,000 reinforcements from the three local divisions had already set off by boat from Fukuoka Port and Songjiang Port in the local novels "Pig", "Pig", and "Island" respectively, and were heading for the Goryeo Peninsula, which could be reached in a day or two at most.

With these 50,000 reinforcements, there will be absolutely no problem with his Busan defensive line, and he can switch to a strategic counteroffensive just by waiting for a large number of local reinforcements to arrive.

How could Ninji Okamura not be happy?

The chief of staff, Sakurada Goro, walked in from the outside in a hurry at this time, came to Okamura Ninji, closed his feet and saluted and reported: "Your Excellency General, the Imperial Army's forward alert unit reports that it has found traces of the tank armored unit of the Shina Army, and the alert force has exchanged fire with it several times, and the losses are very large, and now it has taken the initiative to withdraw back. ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and said: "Our reinforcements have already set off from the mainland, and they will arrive in two days at the latest, which means that as long as we can resist the attack of the Shina army and hold on to Busan for two days, victory will be ours."

Sakurada-kun, you will immediately announce this news and send it to encourage the warriors of all parts of our army to continue to fight for His Majesty the Emperor and for the Japanese Empire!

It is advisable for all units of the Imperial Army to rely on the existing fortifications and courteous terrain to resist the Chinese army step by step, so as to delay the enemy's offensive and finally win the battle. ”

"Hay." Sakurada Goro bowed his head abruptly, and then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

……………………

Busan is located at the southeastern tip of the Goryeo Peninsula. It is bordered by the Korean Strait in the southeast, across the sea from the Japanese mainland, and the Nakdong River in the west. The mountainous northwest and the archipelago barrier to the south are the gateway to the southern part of the peninsula.

Such a geographical location was extremely conducive to the defense of the Japanese army, and the mountainous terrain in the northwest became a natural geographical advantage for the Japanese army to build a defensive line.

Such terrain greatly restricts the attack and deployment of the tank mechanized units of the Northeast Frontier Army.

In a mountain forest, a group of Northeast Army No. 4 tanks was attacking in the southeast, but in front of them was a piece of high ground with a maximum altitude of more than 200 meters.

The Japanese condescended to build strong fortifications. The highlands are dotted with pillboxes, ravines crisscross each other, mines everywhere, and advanced everywhere.

The attacks of the tank units failed repeatedly, and the tracks of many tanks were blown up by mines planted by the Japanese army and broke down on the battlefield.

The artillery deployed by the Japanese army behind the mountains and forests also posed a serious threat to the attacking forces of the Northeast Army.

Daegu County, the temporary headquarters of the Northern Route Army.

A major communications staff officer walked in with a solemn expression with a telegram, and said to Gao Chu and Du Ting:

"Master, Master Du. The front line called, the terrain outside Busan was steep and abnormal, the Japanese army had been prepared for a long time, and all the attacks of our assault troops failed. The losses are huge! ”

"Let's go, let's go to the front!" Gao Chu couldn't sit still for a long time, if it wasn't for Du Ting stopping him, he would have personally led the assault force to attack.

As soon as I heard that the battle on the front line was not going well. He stood up and said to Wu Chengfeng and the others.

"Lao Gao, you are the commander-in-chief, who will command the whole army when you leave?" Du Ting couldn't help but persuade.

"Old Du. Here you are in command, and I will go to the front line to see what the little devil has built. After Gao Chu finished speaking, he took Wu Chengfeng and the others and strode out.

Du Ting couldn't persuade him, so he had to order three infantry regiments to go with him.

Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng soon came to the front line with three infantry regiments, and the troops of the Northern Route Army, which were the first to arrive on the outskirts of Busan, already had four tank regiments and three air defense regiments of more than 20,000 people.

With the addition of the three infantry regiments brought by Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng, the strength of the army quickly increased to more than 35,000 people.

After the official reorganization of the Northeast Army, the original 1st Tank Regiment was expanded into the 1st Tank Division, and Feng Zhanhai was naturally promoted from regiment commander to division commander.

After the two sides saluted and exchanged two words, Gao Chu asked straight to the point: "Senior Feng, how is the situation?" ”

Feng Zhanhai shook his head with some guilt: "Commander-in-chief, the attack is extremely unsmooth, and the terrain here is not conducive to the deployment of my armored tank force at all."

In my opinion, if we want to break through the Japanese defense line and attack the city of Busan, we must quickly transfer several of our heavy artillery brigades, plus the artillery regiments directly under other divisions, our air defense regiments, and the air force to assist in concentrating our forces and carrying out a fierce attack with firepower. ”

"Is it so evil? Since crossing the Yalu River, we have been invincible along the way, sweeping thousands of miles, and the little devil has suddenly become stronger? Gao Chu obviously didn't want to believe it, and his tone was full of contempt and disdain for the devil.

Feng Zhanhai smiled bitterly and said: "Commander-in-chief, you don't know, this Busan is surrounded by the sea on three sides, surrounded by mountains on one side, and the geographical location is very conducive to defense, and it is estimated that the battle of Busan is much easier than the previous battles, this is definitely a difficult bone to gnaw!" ”

As he spoke, the group had quietly entered the northern foothills of the mountain, and after inspecting it in person, the smile on Gao Chu's face had already disappeared, his brows were furrowed, and his expression began to become solemn.

As Feng Zhanhai said, the terrain here is completely unfavorable to the attacking side, and the most important thing is that this terrain is a complete nightmare for your own tank and armored forces, and they cannot carry out effective attacks at all, but are greatly constrained.

After being silent for a long time, Gao Chu began to report to Zhang Xinghan about the difficult situation they were facing.

"Our damaged tank, if it can't be repaired and rescued in time, then destroy it, and we can't let them fall into the hands of little devils." Gao Chu instructed Feng Zhanhai and others.

A combat map was placed in front of Gao Chu and the others, and Feng Zhanhai nodded in agreement.

Looking at the map, Wu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Senior Commander, now that our infantry has arrived, can we try to attack the devil again?" ”

Before Gao Chu could express his position, Feng Zhanhai stretched out his hand and said: "No, before our air force and ground heavy artillery units arrive, it is better for us not to attack lightly, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses."

The attack on Pusan could never be just the task of our Northern Route Army alone.

As I said, this is a difficult bone to gnaw, and only by combining our armies from the north and south and concentrating all the superior forces and firepower can we achieve victory. ”

Recalling the scene during the inspection, Gao Chu nodded nondeniably.

Seeing Gao Chu nodding, Wu Chengfeng didn't say anything more, no one wanted to joke with the lives of his subordinates.

"Let's wait for the commander-in-chief's arrangement." Gao Chu said: "Order all regiments to be stationed on the spot, and be vigilant just in case!" ”

"Yes." Feng Zhanhai and Wu Chengfeng stepped forward at the same time, and immediately turned around and left.

………………^

At Pingcheng Airport, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others just arrived here by car.

The entire airport was under full martial law by the guard battalion at this time, and there were officers and soldiers of the guard battalion everywhere.

With a shrill roar of engines in the sky, a Zero finally landed smoothly.

The hatch opened, and a familiar figure stepped out of the plane.

"Seats, seats!" As soon as Gao Zhihang got off the plane, he saw Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili, and waved his hand as he walked towards them.

Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and the others smiled and took a few steps forward.

After the two sides saluted each other, Zhang Xinghan said: "Brother Ziheng, it's been hard all the way!" ”

"The general seat has seen the outside, contributing to the country, how can there be any hard work or hard work." Takashi Fairway.

When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately laughed loudly: "Okay, that's a good point." ”

"Ziheng, did I let you bring all the troops I brought?" Zhang Xinghan and Gao Zhihang walked side by side and asked.

"All of them have been brought, and according to your orders, all Zero fighters and HE111 medium bombers have been dispatched." Gao Zhihang nodded and replied.

Immediately, Gao Zhihang said in confusion: "Commander, can you reveal the goal of our operation this time?" ”

Zhang Xinghan smiled when he heard this: "Let me tell you the truth, this time the mission of your air force is to attack the Japanese mainland!" ”

"What? Air raids on the Japanese mainland? Gao Zhihang was obviously taken aback when he heard this.

"Yes, with the range of our Zero fighters and HE111 medium bombers, after you are stationed at Heijo Airport, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and other places in Japan are completely within our combat radius.

In order to delay the Japanese rush to the aid of the Goryeo Peninsula, after discussing with the chief of staff, I decided to dispatch the air force to bomb the Japanese mainland, so that the Japanese would know that knowing our strength and their most assured rear area might also be attacked by us! Zhang Xinghan nodded solemnly.

Jiang Baili, who was on the sidelines, echoed and explained: "The strategic deterrence significance of this air raid is far greater than the actual results, as long as the aerial bombs are dropped on the main island of Japan and then returned safely." ”

"Well, Gao Zhihang understands, please ask the two commanders to give detailed combat orders." Gao Zhihang nodded happily.

"I have already set the operational objectives for you, the Zero fighter group and the bomber group are three mixed flight groups, and the targets are Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Nagasaki." Zhang Xing's Chinese language is amazing.

Gao Zhihang couldn't help but be thrilled when he heard this, and suddenly stepped forward and responded: "Yes, please rest assured, the humble position will definitely complete the task!" ”
