Chapter 330: Breaking through Pingcheng

Pyeongseong has been the two major political and cultural centers of the Goryeo Bangzi Kingdom since ancient times, and the other is the famous Seoul. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Located in the northwest of the Goryeo Peninsula, Pyeongseong is mostly hilly, with only one-third of the plains occupying the area.

Goryeo's famous fifth largest river, the Taedong River, divides the city of Pyongseong into two.

At this time, the time had just fallen into the night, and the Japanese troops who had hastily withdrawn from the direction of Texas were swarming across the river.

The west bank of the Datong River was crowded with Japanese officers and soldiers, and occasionally a few ships would be crowded with swarming devils.

 %Pig%Pig%Island%Novel; Everyone was scrambling to board the ship, and the entire west bank of the Datong River was in chaos.

The Japanese army did not dare to fight on its back, and met the pursuing troops of the Northeast Frontier Army on the west bank of the Datong River, so it had abandoned all defensive positions on the west bank.

The whole army began to retreat in a swarm towards the east bank.

The main reason is that Okamura Ninji has already given the 9th Division, the 19th Division a secret order to abandon Pyeongseong and retreat to Seoul.

Originally, there was a bridge on the Daedong River that was used for both railways and highways, which was built by Japanese colonists to facilitate the plundering of the wealth of the Goryeo Peninsula and even Northeast China.

However, the bridge had been destroyed by aerial bombs during the daytime air raids by the Northeast Army.

So tens of thousands of Japanese devils could only cross the river nervously by a limited number of boats.

Without waiting for the devils to cross, a Northeast Army tank appeared on the west bank first.

In the darkness of the night, its cannon barrel spat out a dazzling fireball, and with a loud bang, the cannonball fell on the crowd of devils on the shore.

The firelight generated by the violent explosion suddenly swallowed all the devil soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters, and the devil's wail sounded almost at the same time as the explosion.

Due to the dense crowd of devils, this shell caused them at least 20 casualties.

"The people of China are coming, the tanks of the China Army, run!"

"Mom, help, it's the tank of the Chi Na people!" The ghost soldiers who were still stranded on the West Bank were so frightened that they screamed fiercely.

They came all the way. I have seen the strength of the tank troops of the Northeast Army countless times, and I have already lost my temper by them, and I am very afraid of them, and the voices of crying father and mother for a while come and go.

As more and more tanks of the Northeast Frontier Army arrived, the number ......of shells began to increase, and violent explosions sounded one after another, and the artillery on the entire west bank of Datong rumbled and the fire was dazzling.

The devils had no way to hide, and swarms were blown to pieces by the raging blast wave of explosions.

The tankmen, who were the first to arrive, began to accelerate after a burst of artillery fire. The use of vehicle-mounted machine guns began a massacre strafing encirclement and suppression of the devils on the West Bank who had no time to retreat.

Hundreds of tanks formed a huge encirclement, and the on-board machine guns on the tanks spat hot and dazzling tongues of fire, reaping the lives of devils like wheat harvesting.

The entire west bank of the Datong River is like a Shura hell, full of screams of devils, rivers of blood, and corpses all over the field.

In desperation, some devils jumped off the Datong River in desperation, trying to swim across and flee for their lives, but they were all swept away by the ruthless river. Sent to Davy Jones’ locker.

The massacre encirclement and suppression lasted for more than an hour, and the thousands of devils stranded on the west bank were all shot on the bank of the river because the northeastern border guards did not want to take prisoners. No one was spared.

At this time, the follow-up tank armored units and infantry of various divisions also arrived one after another.

The devil soldiers, who had already crossed the river, built fortifications on the east bank in an attempt to hold on across the river.

In fact, there are less than 2,000 devils left. The main Japanese forces of the 19th Division and the 9th Division, together with the Japanese troops in Pyongseong, had already evacuated Pyeongseong overnight and fled along the railway line towards Seoul.

The pursuing troops rested for a while. Then the powerful artillery fire composed of the 105th howitzer regiment directly under each division began to suppress the Japanese troops on the east bank.

The bridge-building tanks of various tank regiments were dispatched one after another, and steel bridges began to be erected at the fracture of the original railway bridge.

The Japanese troops on the east bank were already small, and all that was left behind were wounded soldiers and death squads who were cannon fodder, and it was impossible to equip them with powerful artillery fire, and they had no power to fight back under the suppression of the artillery fire of the Northeast Army.

Not to mention stopping the Northeast Army's bridge-building tanks, a flat steel bridge was built in less than an hour.

The pursuing forces immediately took the lead and launched a tidal attack on the eastern bank.

More than 1,000 remnants of the Japanese army resisted desperately, and a battle with a doomed end began.

At the same time, on the west coast of Goryeo, after the Northern Route Army led by Gao Chu and Du Ting captured Xianshui, they immediately captured the coastal county town of Wonsan, and now they are rushing towards Seoul overnight.

The speed of the march of the Northern Route Army was astonishing, they set off a day later than the South Route Army, but they were ahead of the Southern Route Army.

Of course, an important reason for this is that they almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and Okamura Ningji did not expect that Zhang Xinghan, the Northeast Army stationed on the border of Heilongjiang, would dare to mobilize them to fight in Goryeo.

You must know that they are all border guards guarding against the Soviet army, and once they are transferred, the Soviet army will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji deployed the main defense forces in various strategic points in the southeast and central regions.

The garrisons on the west coast are purely vigilant.

Surprise, the Northern Route Army seized this advantageous point, and in just one day and one night, it marched nearly 400 kilometers along the official road on the west coast.

The average marching speed was almost more than 30 kilometers per hour, and seven or eight coastal towns were captured in succession.

The speed of the assault is not nothing short of terrifying.

Every time the Northern Route Army captured a place, it was too late to even clean up the battlefield, and the officers and men ate and drank almost all of them on trucks, and the logistics convoy that transported fuel for them also ran wildly all the way, and there was no peace for a moment.

In a military jeep in the marching procession, Du Ting and Gao Chu were discussing with a pair of combat maps.

Gao Chu smoked a cigarette with great interest, listening to Du Ting explain to himself the distance from Seoul and their current marching position.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Du Ting couldn't help but scold: "Old Gao, can you fucking concentrate?" Look at your virtue. ”

"Hehe, Lao Du, don't mutter, it's still far away from Seoul now, don't be in a hurry to discuss, it's you, you have to remember the military salary you lost to me for half a year, don't forget to pay me back after this battle." Gao Chu was very comfortable smoking.

"I know it's still far from Seoul, but we're not far from Pyeongseong, and even from the map, we're almost past Pyeongseong now." Du Ting said: "Moreover, we are running out of fuel in the salt water, and it is likely that it will not be enough to maintain it in Seoul, so I suggest that we stop first and wait for the logistics troops to send the fuel again." ”

"The soldiers are fast, and they can't stop." Gao Chu said with a resolute attitude.

"But without gasoline, our troops can't drive? Especially tanks and armored cars, without gasoline, they are a pile of scrap metal. Du Ting said.

"Then order the troops to stop at once, concentrate all the fuel into a tank regiment, and I will continue to advance with this tank regiment and smash the Yellow Dragon.

You are here with your infantry and other troops waiting to be replenished, and then to follow. Gao Chu thought for a while.

"No, as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, you can't leave your post without permission." Du Ting Road.

"What does it mean to desert without permission? Lao Tzu is leading the assault, don't you understand? I heard that the Southern Route Army has now reached Pingcheng and is currently attacking overnight, and our Northern Route Army must keep up, otherwise the fighter will be delayed, can you and I take responsibility? ”

"Then you can't just take a tank regiment, it's too dangerous." Du Ting was still not at ease, and shook his head in veto.

"Lao Du, who is the commander-in-chief of the two of us?" Gao Chu deliberately said with a straight face.

"Lao Gao, you don't fucking shake your face with me, the general seat is afraid that you will be too impulsive, so I assigned Lao Tzu to the Northern Route Army, I came to stop you from making mistakes and stop your impulsiveness." Du Ting also glared and said loudly.

Gao Chu's eyes rolled, and he changed his smile and said: "That's it, Lao Du, you let all infantry regiments get off the car and walk immediately, and follow the tank regiment with all their might, with them following behind, my tank regiment is not considered to be adventurous." ”

"Old Gao, can a foot march keep up with the speed of a tank regiment? Aren't you? Du Ting still shook his head.

"Lao Du, it's a bit excessive, the military situation is urgent, Lao Tzu doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, our infantry regiment has not fallen behind in its usual training, why can't it march on foot? Could it be that with a car, he has become a fucking soft-footed shrimp and can't walk?

Ten kilometers in an hour, if you can't run, you should be treated as deserters, and the whole army will march to Seoul in a hurry, and be the first to attack Seoul, rewarding thousands of dollars from the ocean, the most important thing is our North Route Army, and we Chinese soldiers have won glory.

This expedition abroad is the first battle of our Northeast Frontier Army, the stakes are very high, victory is more important than everything, we only want victory, victory, do you understand? Gao Chu's face really changed abruptly.

"But......" Du Ting wanted to say more.

Gao Chu turned his face and said, "Okay, don't be so mother-in-law, this matter is settled." ”

"Then be careful yourself, I will urge the logistics troops, and as soon as the second batch of fuel is delivered, I will immediately march at full speed with the other tank regiments to catch up with yours." Du Ting Road.

………………

Pingcheng, on the east bank of the Datong River.

Tens of thousands of officers and men of the Northeast and hundreds of tanks and fighting vehicles have completely captured the Japanese army's defensive positions along the river, and the cheers of victory of the officers and men of the Northeast are everywhere.

The forward troops have already entered the Pingcheng urban area, and are encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the city.

The 19th and 9th Divisions of the Japanese army had already evacuated dozens of kilometers from Pingcheng and were fleeing at full speed in the direction of Songlin.

It has to be said that the remnants they left in Pingcheng still bought them a considerable amount of time to escape. (To be continued......)
