The great powers were bargaining with each other, leaving the Lanfang Kingdom and Japan aside, which made Zhang Wei very dissatisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chekovsky, the ambassador of the Russian Empire in Shangjing, jumped up and down, vigorously opposing the occupation of Hokkaido by the troops of the Lanfang Kingdom, and the stationing of troops in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty and Korea.

In order to demonstrate the force of the Lanfang Kingdom and to fully occupy the Korean Peninsula as soon as possible, Zhang Wei decided to launch an operation to recover Seoul.

At present, the Korean army has a total of 80,000 Japanese troops in Seoul, including the military police, the police, and the organized soldiers in the countryside, and there are about 30,000 troops in Seoul, as well as the troops of the Korean royal family.

Now Seoul has become a large barracks, all the troops are stationed, and ordinary people have long fled from Seoul, leaving behind all the royal family members and traitors. In order to save food inside Seoul, the Japanese army also gladly allowed these civilians to flee.

For the royal family, Zhang Wei didn't want to stay in the way, and he couldn't stay for the traitors, so let them be buried with the Japanese in Seoul.

In order to eliminate all the people in Seoul, Chen Dezhi and Yuan Tiande respectively sent 2 regular divisions, 2 militia divisions and 1 cavalry division, totaling 108,000 people, to complete the siege of Seoul.

In order to strengthen the offensive force, Zhang Wei sent 2 more 155mm howitzer regiments and 2 105mm howitzer regiments, each with 54 howitzers and equipped with enough shells; This time the Schneider millimeter howitzer was selected, with a total weight of only 1245 kg, a bullet weight of 435 kg, and a range of 115 kilometers. Another 2,000 snipers were sent with FR-F1 sniper rifles, which could only fire single shots. The magazine has a capacity of 10 rounds, a caliber of 762mm, and an effective range of 800 meters.

After arranging the affairs of North Korea, Zhang Wei chose to return to the Lanfang Kingdom in early November, and could not delay the military parade on December 1.

In order to eliminate all the people in Seoul, Chen Dezhi and Yuan Tiande respectively sent 2 regular divisions, 2 militia divisions and 1 cavalry division, totaling 108,000 men, to complete the siege of Seoul in mid-November, when the heavy artillery regiment and snipers also arrived in Seoul.

The Japanese troops concentrated in Seoul were ready to resist stubbornly, and they also knew that there was no way out, the Tsushima Strait was blocked by China, and the support troops could not come at all, and they could not withdraw back to Japan, so in order not to affect the lives of their families, they could only choose to die in battle.

According to the tradition of the Japanese army, a large number of bunkers were built in and around the city of Seoul, and they wanted the army of the Lanfang Kingdom to attack Seoul and break their heads and bleed, and then retreat.

Lan Fang Wang's ** team was not in a hurry to attack after encircling Seoul, every day was a heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese forward positions, first from the fortress of the outer position began to bomb, "boom, boom, boom", high-explosive grenades continued to explode on the Japanese positions, the huge explosion sound made the entire Seoul people hear, more than ten kilometers away can feel the ground vibration caused by the explosion of the shell, the smoke and dust caused by the explosion rose dozens of meters high, and the people within 50 meters of the howitzer landing point will basically be directly killed, Don't expect to find the corpses within 10 meters of the landing point, the fortifications of the outer civil structures simply can't withstand the bombardment of 155mm heavy howitzers, 155mm howitzers, each cannon can overturn a fortress, 105mm howitzers need 2 shells to blow up a fortress, as the fortress continues to be destroyed, the Japanese army continues to shrink the front.

The Lanfang Kingdom did not send infantry to attack, so that the Japanese fortresses were useless, and now they have been blown up.

Chen Dezhi also divided the snipers into shifts, 24 hours a day, there were snipers to shoot the Japanese army at a long distance, this is very terrifying, even the enemy does not know where he is, he was killed by the flying bullets, and the frightened Japanese army stayed in the fortress and never dared to show his head again.

Under the continuous attack of the heavy artillery and snipers of the Lanfang Kingdom, the Japanese army had to gradually shrink the defensive line, and it took only 5 days to lose all the peripheral positions, and the Lanfang army completely blocked all the Japanese troops in Seoul.

Major General Muda Keikuro, Chief of Staff of the Korean Army, suggested to the Commander of the Korean Army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi: "Your Excellency, Commander, now that we have been surrounded, we must break through to the eastern mountains, as long as we enter the mountains, we will survive, otherwise we will be bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Lan Fang Army." ”

"Chief of Staff, I originally wanted the Lanfang army to attack the city and conduct street battles, we used the advantage of being familiar with the terrain to eliminate the Lanfang army that attacked Seoul, but I didn't expect their heavy artillery to be so powerful, and they didn't attack the city at all."

"So we have to take the initiative to attack, it is best to break through, and it is better not to break through than to be passively bombed like this."

Before the two discussed a way to break out, Lan Fang's army began a larger-scale artillery bombardment of Seoul, and the intense shelling made it difficult for the Japanese army to gather troops to break through.

After occupying the outer positions of Seoul, Chen Dezhi ordered all artillery to immediately begin shelling the interior of Seoul.

The four heavy artillery regiments, plus the 75mm mountain artillery battalion and the 65mm mountain artillery battalion directly under the direct jurisdiction of each division and regiment, fired more than 100,000 shells into Seoul every day, just to collapse all the houses in the entire Seoul, so that everyone had no place to hide, and to keep them in the fear of shelling, anyway, there are no good people living in Seoul now, all of them are lackeys of Japan and the Japanese and members of the Korean royal family, Zhang Wei didn't want them to survive, keep trouble, it is better to die in Seoul, and they can have a good reputation.

In the beginning, grenades and high-explosive bombs were fired, and later, how could there be intact buildings in Seoul? All the living ran to the basement of the fortress.

Three days later, Chen Dezhi arranged for the heavy artillery regiment to replace the shells with incendiary bombs, and if they were hidden underground, they could suffocate them to death in a hole in the ground when they encountered incendiary bombs, and those who stuck to the liquid emitted by the incendiary bombs would be burned alive, and they would not be extinguished at all until the burning was completed.

The incendiary bombs also caused a raging fire in Seoul, igniting all combustible supplies, including most of the food, and even the Korean Imperial Palace was reduced to ashes in the bombing.

On November 24, Chen Dezhi ordered the troops to launch a general offensive, and the troops supported each other in a straggler formation, gradually advancing towards the inner city, at this time there was not one living person in the city, but the living little Japan was still stubbornly resisting, and from time to time bullets were fired from the ruins to the advancing imperial soldiers, as long as the position was exposed, it would basically be overwhelmed by sniper rifles, light machine guns and even heavy machine gun bullets in an instant, and those with bunkers would also be patronized by several mortar shells.

After three days of fighting, the Japanese soldiers in Seoul and the Korean army under the command of the Korean royal family were completely emptied, and all the members of the Korean royal family and ministers were killed by the Japanese devils.

On November 28th, the army of the Lan Fang Kingdom occupied Seoul, and at this time, in Seoul, except for the Lan Fang army, there was no one alive, and Seoul was completely in ruins and a dead city.

In the whole battle, the Lanfang Kingdom sacrificed a total of 3,180 soldiers.

At this point, the Lanfang Kingdom wiped out all the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula and completely occupied the Korean Peninsula
