Andong County, General Headquarters of the Northeast Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xinghan had just had dinner, and he was picking his teeth with a toothpick, and the dinner room was very rich, with two dishes and one soup, and a roast chicken was almost eaten by him alone.

It's not that he can't eat too much, it's just that he hasn't slept well for a day and a night, and he hasn't eaten much, and as the battle progresses smoothly, his mood relaxes, and hunger swept in, and he naturally eats more than twice as much as usual under his appetite.

Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion, walked in with a cup of hot water, put the hot water in front of him, and said, "Commander, you want boiling water." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan picked up the teacup and asked casually = pig = pig = island = novel ===: "What about the chief of staff?" Where did it go? ”

"The advance speed of the north and south armies of our army on the front line is too fast, the logistics troops can't keep up, and the ammunition is okay, but the fuel required for armored vehicles has been completely urgent, and Minister Zang of the North Route Army is responsible for coordinating logistics.

The chief of staff went to the command and dispatch of the Southern Route Army to raise supplies. Guo Zhong said.

Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan turned his head and looked at the map, nodded and said, "Our army's two-way army has advanced more than 400 kilometers?" The front is getting longer. ”

"Yes, the longer the battle line, the more time and pressure on logistics and transportation will increase." Guo Zhong nodded.

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "You immediately upload my order, and from tomorrow onwards, the Air Force Transport Regiment will devote itself to the task of airdropping fuel and other materials for the front-line troops."

In addition, the Southern Route Army was informed that if it was able to capture Pyongseong tonight, it could rest in Pyeongseong for the rest of the night, and the task of pursuing it could be handed over to the forward troops, and then continue to march towards Seoul after the logistical replenishment arrived. ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and immediately turned around and left.

However, it didn't take long for Guo Zhong to go and return, and he reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly: "Commander, I just got a call back from the Southern Route Army. The main forces of the Japanese army fled without a fight, and our army had taken full control of Pingcheng. ”

"Oh? Is the damage to Pingcheng Airport serious? Zhang Xinghan asked.

"The telegram mentioned that the Pingcheng Airport was blown up by devils before the main force of the Japanese army withdrew, and the damage was quite serious." Guo Zhong replied.

"Immediately send a telegram to Division Commander Wang, asking them to organize manpower as soon as possible, repair the airport at all costs, and be sure to complete the repair of the damaged area within three days." Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered.

"Yes." Guo Zhong answered and took the order again.

………………

Dingzhou, Headquarters of the Southern Route Army.

Zhao Zhenfan walked in with a telegram and said to Wang Yizhe: "Commander-in-chief." The commander-in-chief called. ”

As he spoke, he handed him the message.

After reading the telegram, Wang Yizhe raised his head and said to Zhao Zhenfan and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, Pingcheng has been captured by our army, in order to facilitate command, I have decided to move the headquarters to Pingcheng, and it is also convenient for us to organize manpower and material resources to repair the airport. ”

"The commander-in-chief has decided, and we have no objections." Zhao Zhenfan took the lead.

Liu Jianguo and the others nodded in agreement.

So that night, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others moved their headquarters to Pingcheng overnight.

Meanwhile. Liu Jianguo, Wang Tiehan, and others, who were in charge of personally leading the command, also received orders to temporarily leave the main force in Pingcheng, and each division only sent one regiment or two battalions of pursuing troops to continue the pursuit along the pipeline.

……………………

On the pipeline from Seoul to Busan, Okamura Ninji is traveling by car.

Suddenly, a three-wheeled motorcycle came galloping towards him. In front of his car.

The driver slammed on the brakes, and Okamura Ninji, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly became furious, but saw that it was a communications adjutant who stopped the car.

He had already gotten off his three-wheeled motorcycle and came out of his car. He stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency General, I just received a telegram from the 9th Division, according to the report of the remaining troops. Pyeongseong had already been breached by the Shina army, and Wonsan had also been captured two hours earlier by another Shina army, both of which were advancing towards Seoul. ”

Okamura Ninji held back his anger, nodded, and waved his hand at the communications adjutant to signal him to leave.

Then he said to the driver, "Keep driving." ”

"Hay." The devil who was driving hurriedly started the car and continued to drive forward.

……………………

Gao Chu took a tank regiment to fill up with fuel, marched all the way, and at about one o'clock in the morning, advanced more than a hundred kilometers, and had reached the northwest of Kaesong.

At the same time, the 1st Division of the Japanese 9th Division, which had withdrawn from Pyeongseong, also rushed to Kaesong after a rapid march.

Although they evacuated Pingcheng earlier than Gao Chu's Northern Route Army left Wonsan, the fully mechanized marching speed of the Northern Route Army led by Gao Chu made up for this time difference.

Almost at the same time as the vanguard of the retreating Japanese troops rushed to Kaesong.

Knowing that Kaesong was to the southeast, Gao Chu was not interested in attacking Kaesong, but ordered his troops to continue marching directly to the southeast, aiming directly at Seoul.

The Japanese troops in Kaesong also continued to retreat by car without stopping, and the two sides met south of Kaesong.

"Shizuo, a devil was found in front, and the strength is unknown." The wireless intercom in the tank car in which Gao Chu was riding heard the alarm of a subordinate.

"What kind of class is the devil?" Gao Chu asked with a walkie-talkie.

"It's infantry, but most of them are in military trucks, and some cavalry."

"This should be the troops of the devils retreating from the front." Gao Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Order all companies to immediately attack them and destroy them." ”

"Yes." A refreshing response came from the intercom.

Nearly 100 No. 4 tank fighting vehicles quickly prepared for battle, adjusted their muzzle barrels and went straight to the retreating Japanese army.

The Japanese apparently also spotted this Chinese tank unit that suddenly appeared behind them.

While the soul was scattered, they turned around and ran.

They have already exchanged fire with the Northeast Frontier Army more than once, and they already have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness and threat of the tank units of the Northeast Border Army.

Therefore, in this case, when encountering the tank units of the Northeast Army, there will no longer be devil cavalry wielding sabers and cavalry guns to launch an active suicidal attack on tanks and armored vehicles.

More than 1,000 devils turned around one after another, but the cavalry turned easily, and how could it be so smooth for dozens of Japanese-style military trucks to turn around in a hurry?

Just when he was in a panic, Gao Chu commanded the tank regiment to kill, and dozens of tanks suddenly appeared like wolves on the grassland.

The barrel of the tank gun in the black hole fired a round of death flames, hitting the Japanese truck that was unable to turn around.

In the earth-shattering explosion, more than a dozen devil military trucks were blown into a pile ......of scrap metal, and the devil soldiers on them turned into nothing before they could even scream.

In the firelight. The other devils were so frightened that they jumped out of the car and fled for their lives.

As soon as Gao Chu gave the order, nearly 100 tanks rushed forward with a bang, nearly 200 vehicle-mounted machine guns fired wildly, and the dense rain of bullets knocked down the devils in pieces like cutting wheat.

Such encounters were clearly one-sided and slaughter-style battles.

In addition to the more than 300 devil cavalry who ran fast and escaped by chance, the more than 600 devil infantry and more than a dozen military trucks were all destroyed.

The remaining 20 or so military trucks became prisoners of the Northeast Army, and in the battle just now, Gao Chu saw that the devil's infantry had jumped out of the car and fled for their lives, so he ordered the troops not to continue shelling the devil's trucks.

Because he took a fancy to the gasoline in the devil's mailbox. More than 20 military trucks passed by the devils and consumed all the way, and there was not much gasoline left.

But it's better than nothing, for the tank regiment at the beginning of the year, now any drop of gasoline is incomparably precious.

After annihilating more than 600 devils, an adjutant asked, "Master, what should we do?" Whether to continue the advance in the direction of Seoul. ”

Gao Chu had already jumped out of the tank, looked at the battlefield, and said, "Judging from the equipment of these devils, they should not be the last batch of devils to escape from Pingcheng." It is likely to be the first, and if they are the last to evacuate the Japanese army, then there should definitely be a pursuing force of our Southern Route Army in their rear.

The devil will definitely not dare to turn around and flee back.

Otherwise, with us fighting with them so fiercely, why hasn't the pursuing force of the Southern Route Army moved for half a day?

The adjutant nodded. He asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Immediately use the radio to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Southern Route Army, informing them of our current position and the battle situation just now, and asking them where the main force of the Japanese rout should be now. Where are the pursuing troops in their forwards? Gao Chu commanded.

"Yes." The adjutant quickly wrote down his words one by one, turned around and took the order.

………………

Pingcheng. Wang Yizhe and the others had just settled down, and they were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to close their eyes.

A communications soldier ran in with a telegram in his hand, and saluted Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others: "Commander-in-chief, we have received an urgent telegram from the Northern Route Army. ”

After speaking, he respectfully handed the message to them.

Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan glanced at each other and reached out to take the message.

Zhao Zhenfan saw that Wang Yizhe's face was flat and he couldn't see any reaction, so he hurriedly asked, "Commander-in-chief, what's the situation with the Northern Route Army?" ”

"They have advanced to Kaesong, and they have just fought a battle with a devil army, and Gao Chu suspects that it is likely to be the first batch of devils to retreat.

He asked us to provide the location of the pursuing troops of our divisions, as well as the location of the area to which the main Japanese force might break and flee. Wang Yizhe said.

"Really?" Zhao Zhenfan said: "Their marching speed is really fast enough, so it seems that the Japanese army retreating from Pingcheng is likely to have been cut off by our army?" ”

Wang Yizhe nodded solemnly and said: "It is very likely, we can look at the map, the distance from Pingcheng to Kaesong is more than 150 kilometers, and the devil's retreat has only been more than ten hours now."

They are not fully mechanized like us, and they march fast, and even if they march quickly, they can at most reach Kaesong. ”

"Then this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can completely annihilate the main force of the Japanese army evacuated from Pyeongseong in one fell swoop, then the next battle of Seoul will be much easier to fight." Zhao Zhenfan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Old sir, let's contact Gao Chu quickly, and ask him to block the way for the Japanese army to flee south, so as to win time for our pursuing troops to arrive, and strive to gather and annihilate the Japanese army in the area of Kaesong." ”
