readx;?“ What's going on? Li Zhenyuan asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Returning to the sir, I encountered a devil army in front, the number of which is unknown, and Camp Commander Chen is currently fighting with them." A soldier hurried over to report.
Li Zhenyuan said: "This is the devil reinforcement, Commander Zhang!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and responded.
"You immediately order the troops, attack with all your might, defeat them for me, and finally annihilate them all, and then go straight to the rear of the Japanese army in Dingzhou!" Li Zhenyuan immediately commanded.
"Yes!" After Zhang Yi saluted? Pig? Pig? Island? novel, turned around and took the order.
Tanks and hundreds of infantry swarmed forward and soon arrived at the front of the battlefield.
On the blazing battlefield, as more infantry and tanks of the Northeast Army arrived, the devil's reinforcements were defeated and retreated, with heavy losses.
The tank regiment and the infantry regiment pursued non-stop with all their might, and every minute, the devils who could not escape were caught up and fell to the ground with bullets.
The number of this devil reinforcement is about 400 people, and in the field of mediocre terrain, where is the opponent of a tank regiment and an armored infantry regiment of the Northeast Army.
It was soon completely wiped out in pursuit, and by this time, both sides had already pressed behind the Japanese army's northern defensive line in Dingzhou.
Without any hesitation, the assault troops began to launch a fierce assault on the Japanese positions from the rear of the Japanese army.
The devil was a little difficult to resist the frontal attack of the Northeast Army, and suddenly killed such a powerful assault force behind him.
The result can be imagined, under the front and rear attacks of the Northeast Frontier Army, the front defense line of the devils quickly collapsed, and in the dark night, thousands of devils panicked and retreated beyond the rear.
Li Zhenyuan commanded the roundabout troops to take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill, and the divisions and troops that attacked head-on also launched pursuits, and the devils were suddenly defeated.
The outer defense line was breached, and the city defense of Dingzhou did not play much role, and was attacked into the city by the infantry of the Northeast Army.
The two sides fought fiercely for hours. Most of the remnants of the devils in the city were annihilated, and a few fled in the direction of Texas with the retreating troops outside the city.
Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others commanded the troops to pursue overnight, and the troops pointed directly at Texas.
………………
Andong County, General Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.
The lights in the headquarters were bright, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were outside all night, without any sleepiness, waiting for news from the front line.
Suddenly, Guo Zhong walked out of the telecommunications room next door with a message in his hand, and before he could salute, he said, "The main seat." Chief of Staff, good news, General Wang called from the front line in Dingzhou, they have just broken through the Japanese defense line in Dingzhou, and entered the city of Dingzhou, the remnants of the Japanese army have retreated to Dezhou, and our first army is pursuing and advancing towards Dezhou! ”
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili immediately got up when they heard this, and said happily: "Well done, like this." Yongbyon, Tokugawa's Japanese defense line is also bound to collapse, and Texas is already in the pocket of our army! ”
"Yes, Commander. I estimate that the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to attack Pyeongseong, and after taking Pyeongseong, we will basically capture half of the Goryeo Peninsula. Jiang Baili couldn't stop being excited.
"That's right. Commander, the direction of Dingzhou of the Japanese army has been broken through by our army, and Dezhou is also in danger. Is it possible to let the Northern Route Army go? Jiang Baili suddenly asked.
Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "It's time, those guys in the Northern Route Army should have been impatient to wait for a long time, right?" Send them electricity, set off immediately, and head straight down the west coast to Seoul! Copy the back road of the little devil! ”
"Yes." Jiang Baili happily replied and walked towards the telecommunications room in person.
……………………
Seoul, the General Headquarters of the Japanese Army.
The Japanese headquarters was also brightly lit, and Okamura Ninji and his subordinates were also anxiously waiting for news from the front.
Suddenly, Sakurada Goro walked in with a solemn face in his hand.
When Okamura Ningji and the others saw his solemn face, they suddenly secretly screamed in their hearts.
Sure enough, Sakurada Gorou saluted Okamura Ninji with a gloomy expression and said, "Your Excellency Commander, this is the telegram I just received from the 19th Division, please take a look." ”
Okamura Ninji stared at him and took the message: "Something happened to Dingzhou?" ”
Sakurada Goro didn't speak, but lowered his head.
After reading the message, Okamura Ninji was immediately furious and slapped the table fiercely: "Yaga Yalu!" ”
Everyone suddenly walked on thin ice and bowed their heads silently.
After being silent for a long time, Okamura Ninji breathed solemnly and said:
"Order the 9th Division to immediately abandon the Yongbyon and Tokugawa defense lines, move closer to Dezhou, and if Dezhou cannot be defended, retreat directly to Pyongseong!"
"Hay!" Sakurada Goro and the others did not dare to have the slightest objection, and bowed their heads in response.
At this juncture, Okamura Ninji was angry, and they didn't dare to say anything.
After almost everyone dispersed, Sakurada Goro cautiously returned and whispered to Okamura Ninji, "General, the base camp has been restored." ”
"Huh? How so? Okamura Ninji asked back.
"The battle is too sudden, the base camp has activated an emergency plan, and the 50,000 imperial troops who stayed on the mainland are urgently assembling, and it is expected to arrive at the port of Busan in five days to reinforce us.
If there are more reinforcements, it will take half a month or more to complete the assembly at the latest! Sakurada Goro said truthfully.
Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "These 50,000 reinforcements are enough, and the worst is the worst, so we will take the initiative to abandon North Korea and retreat to South Korea." ”
"By the way, send a telegram to the reinforcements in Pingcheng, tell them not to go to Texas, and immediately return to defend Pingcheng, the Dingzhou defense line has been lost, and it doesn't make much sense to go to Texas again." Okamura added.
"Hay." Sakurada Goro bowed his head again suddenly, and immediately took the saber and led away.
……………………
In Yanbian County, the Northern Route Army has been stationed here for two days and two nights.
The Northern Route Army consisted of one or two tank regiments of the Tank Armored Corps, three air defense regiments, and two integrated divisions of the 208.209th Army.
The commander-in-chief was Gao Chu, commander of the 208th Division.
Since the troops were assembled, Gao Chu and Du Ting, the commander of the 209th Division, were ordered to stand by in place.
In the headquarters of the two, Du Ting, who was on duty, was napping, and Gao Chu had already fallen asleep on the kang beside him.
At this moment, a signal soldier on duty walked in excitedly and saluted Du Ting: "Master Du, the commander-in-chief is calling!" ”
"Who?" Du Ting's expression was lifted and he stood up.
"Commander-in-Chief." Before the communication soldier finished speaking, the telegram in his hand was snatched by Du Ting.
After Du Ting finished reading it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the side of the kang, pushing and shoving the sleeping Gao Chu and said, "Lao Gao, Lao Gao, wake up, wake up!" ”
Gao Chu woke up with sleepy eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Du, I have slept a lot now, you just call me, didn't you say that it was okay, should you be on duty in the second half of the night?" ”
Du Tinghun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lao Gao, don't sleep, the commander-in-chief is here!" ”
"Huh?" Gao Chu didn't care about it at first, but then he was startled, sat up on the kang with his eyes open, and said to Du Ting: "Old Du, what did you say?" What did you just say? ”
"See for yourself, the commander-in-chief's telegram ordered us to set off immediately and march to Goryeo!" Du Ting said and handed him the message.
Gao Chu took the telegram, read it in a hurry, suddenly jumped down, and even forgot to put on his shoes and said: "His grandmother is a bear, finally waited for this order, communication soldiers, immediately upload my order, all troops immediately urgently assembled, set off!" ”
"Yes!" The Signal Corps took the order and left.
Du Ting said with a smile: "Lao Gao, don't worry, don't care about this moment, put your shoes on first." ”
Gao Chu looked down and smiled, hehe, "You don't know, Lao Tzu has been going crazy for the past two days, I heard that the Southern Route Army had launched an attack yesterday, and within one day, it had advanced more than 100 kilometers, attacking the city and pulling out the village, so unhappy, our tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Route Army are here to watch, that is really a fucking taste." ”
Saying that, Gao Chu quickly put on his shoes, got up and said to Du Ting: "Lao Du, let's go, Lao Tzu can't wait." Ha ha! ”
"This is going to war, and it's not a fucking trip to the kiln to find Sister Kiln, look at your urgency." Du Ting said with a smile.
"Alas, don't say it, this time when you hit Seoul, Lao Tzu really got a few Korean girls to play!" Gao Chu said with a smile.
Soon, the 50,000-strong army of the Northern Route Army was mobilized, and two hours later, as soon as it was light, they crossed the border and advanced to the west coast of Goryeo.
The Japanese were mainly deployed in the southwestern and central plains of North Korea, and the coastal areas of the west coast were far from developed at this time, and even in later generations, they were not very well developed.
As a result, most of the defense here was entrusted to the Imperial Allied Army of Goryeo.
There was less than one regiment of the puppet army guarding Huining, and in the huge attack of the northeastern border guards, they could not hold out for even an hour, and all of them surrendered.
After taking Huining, Gao Chu and Du Ting led their troops to continue to advance without stopping, and went straight to Qingjin, the first important town on the west coast.
On the Tokugawa and Yongbyon battlefields of the Southern Route Army, as the Dingju defensive line was broken by the Northeast Army, the Japanese forces in Yongbyon and Tokugawa began to retreat on the initiative on the orders of Okamura Ninji.
The 100,000-strong troops of the 2nd and 3rd Route Armies took advantage of the situation to attack, and within a few hours they swept through the two major areas, destroying all the Japanese defensive positions in the above areas.
Pursuing the Japanese 9th Division and advancing in the direction of Texas.
In Dingzhou City, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others had already moved their headquarters to the city.
In the headquarters, Wang Yizhe said to Li Zhenyuan with a smile
"Zhenyuan, this time you did a good job, our army was able to capture Dingzhou before dawn, you are indispensable!" ”
Li Zhenyuan's expression was a little gloomy, and he smiled bitterly: "Old sir, this battle Zhenyuan does not have the slightest military exploits, and the real credit is the hundreds of brothers who sacrificed, without their desperate and bloody battles, it is impossible for us to successfully pass the 230 heights."
