Chapter 1424 cannot be separated

North Korea, which is connected to China's mountains and rivers, has been recorded in history, most of the time is a vassal of China's central power, successive Korean governments, have attached great importance to Chinese learning, a typical example is the second year after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, North Korea took the initiative to go to the table, confirmed the relationship between the clan and the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the spread of Chinese in North Korea, and allows Koreans to be able to conduct the township examination in their own country, rush to Nanjing for the examination, high school students are regarded as my Chinese children, awarded *** Houlu, Those who do not want to be officials in China will be ordered to the Korean royal family to be promoted, and the North Korean government is also willing to use this as the main basis for promoting officials, so the style of Sinology in North Korea will be extremely prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Until the end of the last century, before the occupation of Korea, the North Korean government also stipulated that all Koreans must study Chinese for more than two years, with the defeat of China in the Sino-Japanese War and the establishment of Korea as a colony, Sinology lost its mysterious aura. After revolting throughout Korea and consolidating its rule, the government began to vigorously promote the de-sinicization movement, abolishing the Chinese language schools in the cities and villages, and opening Japanese schools instead, so that all Koreans could learn Japanese instead.

Therefore, in the 26th year of the Republic of China, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, in the northern region of Korea, most of the people were still able to understand the words of the officers and men of the 15th Division, and because the Cheongjin region bordered China and had frequent economic exchanges with the Northeast region on weekdays, the men, women and children here could basically speak fluent Northeast dialect, which made the officers and men of the 15th Division communicate with the Korean people in Cheongjin City without any obstacles.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of 18 September, Colonel Yang Chao, commander of the 15th Division, was in the conference room on the second floor of the former puppet government building in Qingjin, together with the generals of the first cadre division, to count the harvest of the operation into Korea.

As the largest port city in the northeast of North Korea in the sea, Qingjin Port undertakes the important task of transporting grain and iron, coal and other strategic materials to the country, and the golden sands and silver ingots seized from the port alone are worth five million oceans, plus a huge amount of copper, iron, aluminum, zinc and other precious metals and piles of coal, which make Yang Chaoda call this trip worth thousands of dollars.

At the same time, in the raid of *** banks, commercial banks, and factories and enterprises, hard currencies such as US dollars, pounds, gold bars, and silver dollars worth 8 million oceans were also harvested, and as for the amount of up to 10 million yen, Kwantung Army military stamps, and Japanese-made copper, nickel, and aluminum coins, they were not included in the account books because they were of other use.

"Commander, good news!"

Major An Hansheng, the head of the special forces of the 15th Division, rushed into the room like a gust of wind, saluted the division commander Yang Chao and the chief of staff Xiao Zilan, and nodded to his colleagues, and then said with a smile:

"Just now, the captain of the second squadron reported to me that since the army entered Qingjin without committing any crimes, he also distributed glowing repayments to the people, and each household issued military tickets, metal currency and Japanese banknotes worth 100 yen, and sent food, coal and other daily necessities, and now our army's support rate in Qingjin has skyrocketed. Just now, some North Korean people took the initiative to report to us that there is a huge iron ore mine in the Mosan area north of Cheongjin, which has not been well developed before. Beginning in the third or third year, the Japanese army colluded with the warlords in Kannai to abduct a large number of Chinese young and strong laborers to Maoshan to develop the iron ore there. It is said that there are now more than 100,000 Chinese miners working in that large iron ore mine. Division commander, if these miners can be rescued, it will be of great benefit to the expansion of our troops! ”

An Hansheng is an orphan adopted by An Yi in Shandong in 28 years, at the age of 315, he skipped a grade and was admitted to the Syrian non-commissioned officer school, after two years of systematic training and study, after graduating in 33 years, he was assigned to the 16th Division, served as a sergeant squad leader, participated in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant for merit, and served as a platoon commander. After a year of hard study, he felt that there was still room for improvement, and he applied to stay in the school and entered the special specialty for another year, and just graduated in July this year, and before returning to his original unit, he was urgently transferred to join the Northeast Group Army in the combat sequence.

Due to the exemplary role of the First Army Corps, there is now a sense of competition within the Northeast Army.

As we all know, the more soldiers are captured in battle, the more captures are made, the faster the troops are expanded, and the brighter the future of the individual. With Hu Jiyang's vivid example of being promoted from lieutenant colonel to lieutenant general in the past few years, which officer with troops in the entire group army didn't hold his breath and want to make a career in the northeast?

After listening to An Hansheng's report, Yang Chao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "The specific location of the iron mine?" How many defenders were there? How strong is the defense? ”

"Huh!?"

An Hansheng scratched his head and stuck out his tongue: "I was so excited when I heard the news, I forgot to ask the second squadron leader, go now." After saying that, he turned around and ran out in a hurry, and soon there was a sound of "oh oh" going downstairs.

Yang Chao shook his head and smiled dumbly.

The captain of the special brigade under him, although he is already a veteran with six years of military experience, in the final analysis, is just a young man who has just turned twenty-one, and it is inevitable that he will be a little frizzy.

Just when Yang Chao buried his head and continued to count the harvest of this trip with a cadre of generals, An Hansheng had already turned back from downstairs, but he was not relaxed just now, and his expression was full of solemnity:

"Division commander, I have asked, the iron mine is in the northwest of Qingjin Port, about fifty kilometers away from here. More than 10,000 Japanese and North Korean mixed troops were stationed in that iron mine, which was a model mixed brigade established by the Korean governor during the Songhu War in 32 years, and it is said that in the actual combat exercise, it was on a par with the 19th Division of the Japanese Army, and its strength was not inferior to that of the main division of the Japanese army. Moreover, the fork of the railway branch line leading to the iron mine is on the main railway line where we go back, if our whereabouts are discovered by the Japanese troops stationed in the iron mine, or if they receive an order from the upper peak to go south in time to block the railway pass, we will face the situation of being attacked by the superior Japanese army from the north and south! ”

After listening to An Hansheng's report, a group of generals who were smiling and checking the harvest were stunned.

Colonel Xiao Zilan, chief of staff who graduated from the Munich Military Academy in Germany, put aside the list of harvests on the table in front of him, quickly spread out a large map of North Korea seized from the puppet government building on the table, lowered his head and looked carefully, and finally found that there was a place marked with a red triangle in the northwest direction of Qingjin Port, and there was a red dotted line between the red triangle and the main railway line, and he immediately understood that this should be where the Japanese iron mine was located.

This railway leading to the iron ore mining area branched off at a "Y" junction called the Gumao Pass, and this Gumao Pass was an important pass to return to the Tumen.

"We only have 6,000 people, but we have to control the city of more than 100,000 people, and we don't know how many Japanese and North Koreans who hate us in this city.

"Division commander, I suggest that the troops be gathered and retreat immediately, otherwise the Japanese army in the north only needs to block the Gumao Pass, and then rely on the highlands marked with Wufeng Mountain and Sefeng on both wings, and the only canyon mouth in and out, we will become the turtle in the urn." Xiao Zilan suggested loudly.

"Huh!?"

Major Chen Shouting, the logistics chief who runs a cloth dyeing workshop in Syria and is the fourth oldest in the family, widened his eyes: "There are so many things in the warehouse of Qingjin Port, what a pity to throw them away?" Even if you can take away gold and silver and other valuables, how many guns and ammunition can you exchange for non-ferrous metals such as iron, copper, and zinc, coal, and grain that you can't take away? Also, aren't we going to save those miners? If the Japanese army blocks the mountain pass on the east bank of the Tumen River, it will be extremely difficult for us to enter the territory of North Korea again! ”

A group of staff officers immediately began to discuss, advocating that half of them should go and half of them should stay, and the two sides continued to argue, and finally focused their attention on the division commander Yang Chao.

Yang Chao paced back and forth, lowered his head, and calmly weighed the pros and cons.

The 15th Division was completely confused about everything in Korea, and now it is very lucky to be in a daze to defeat a large city with a population of more than 100,000.

At this time, Yang Chao did not know that in fact, the Japanese army has always been tightly defended against the border areas of the Soviet Union in the northeast of Korea, but recently, the government has just expressed solemnity to the Red Army in the Far East, accusing the other party of openly supporting the armed forces in Manchuria and coarsely involving the internal affairs of Manchuria as a sovereign country.

But behind the fierce voice, there is an inexplicable weakness, *** cabinet members and base camp generals agreed that even the guerrillas supported by the other side are so powerful, and the Kwantung Army has been defeated and defeated in successive battles, so how terrifying the strength of the Red Army in the Far East of the Soviet Union is, who can say clearly?

Therefore, in order to express the goodwill of peace and remind the other side to rein in the precipice, the government specially invited well-known reporters from major newspapers and magazines around the world to withdraw the Japanese troops in the border area between North Korea and the Soviet Union in the Far East in front of the media, leaving only a few military and police officers to maintain law and order, in order to show sincerity and show with facts that the government and the army have no intention of being enemies of the Red Army in the Far East, hoping to obtain a goodwill response from the other side.

But no one expected that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would allow the 15th Division led by Yang Chao to run into it, drive straight in, and attack the most important port city in northeastern Korea in one go, Qingjin, giving the Japanese army a handful of salt to the already bloody wounds.

Yang Chao stopped, with a resolute face: "People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, since we are here, how can we go back to Baoshan empty?" Immediately telegraphed to the military department, requesting that troops be mobilized to participate in the war in Korea, this Qingjin Port is a small and vigorously developed industrial base, smelters, steel plants, machinery factories, military factories, chemical plants and other factories and enterprises are readily available, how to dismantle it back to be willing! Moreover, this northeastern region of North Korea, backed by the Soviet Far East Red Army, judging from the terrain along the railway line we entered North Korea, is similar to the Changbai Mountains, and many places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Seeing that the commander in chief had made a decision, the people below could only cooperate unconditionally, and soon, the situation was fed back to the headquarters of the Second Army through radio waves.

An Chunlu, the commander of the Second Army, who was counting last night's battle damage and harvest, was stunned after seeing the telegram, after the 15th Division occupied Tumen, it had sent a brief battle report, and then there was no news, originally An Chunlu thought that the 15th Division was rushing to repair fortifications in Tumen to deal with the reinforcements that were about to be sent from North Korea, but I didn't expect Yang Chao to be bold and run to North Korea quietly, and he also went deep into North Korea for nearly 100 kilometers in one go, which made An Chunlu a little unacceptable for a while.

However, the bright prospects described by Yang Chao in the report still deeply moved An Chunlu. As the supreme military commander of the whole army, An Chunlu was still anxious about the huge losses of the troops last night, if he could rescue the more than 100,000 miners from the Maoshan Iron Mine, then the shortage of troops could be replenished soon, and even a supplementary division exclusive to the Second Army could be established to make up for the battle losses at any time.

After thinking about it, An Chunlu decided to leave this matter to the group army headquarters to worry about it, after all, the matter of crossing the border to participate in the war is not trivial, not only involving the movement of large corps, but also may even affect the situation in the northeast and the international situation. At present, the headquarters of the group army is preparing to attack Dunhua, and once the Second Army transfers troops to the east, it will inevitably affect the following battles.

Moreover, the leaders of the group armies must decide on a series of issues, such as the coordination of various units and the coordination of troops, otherwise they will make big mistakes.

Li Fuqiang was very surprised when he received An Chunlu's report, and immediately found Tang Honglei, Zhang Jie, and An Mingqi, and after a short period of discussion, issued the latest instructions:

First: The 44th Brigade of the 2nd, 9th, and 15th Divisions of the Second Army entered Korea, and the 12th Division stayed in the Yanji area to establish an anti-Japanese regime, distribute the land owned by the Japanese puppet government and overseas Japanese to landless peasants, implement an economic policy of reducing rents and raising interest rates, and consolidate the base areas;

Second: The 15th Division quickly seized the north and south passes of Qingjin to gain enough time for the main force to move south. If the Japanese army is strong, it can escape into the mountains around Qingjin, wait for the opportunity, cooperate with the main force to attack from the north and south, and give the Japanese a fatal blow;

Third: After the Second Army completely annihilated the Japanese troops in the Maoshan mining area and rescued the miners, it should temporarily stay in the northeastern region of Korea, reorganize its troops, and skillfully maneuver with the Japanese invaders advancing northward, and then withdraw to the Tumen River after the Seventh Army of Kim Hongmo entered the DPRK, and seek an opportunity to capture Dunhua City.
