At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, after Zhang Weideng 6, according to Xiao Xuguang's opinion, the 27th Division and the 1st Division of the Korean Militia were released from the system, and the division headquarters and troops were ordered to advance north after the 27th Division occupied Cheongju, and the 19th Division of the Japanese Army was eliminated, and the Uiju Militia Division should cooperate with the 27th Division in the operation, mainly to protect logistics and protect the occupied areas.

Then the 28th Division was released from the system, and the 1st Regiment was ordered to occupy Guicheng, and to the east to deploy defenses, build fortifications, block the road of the Japanese 18th Division from Yiju and Shuozhou to the south, and the remaining troops went south to the banks of the Dafu River to deploy defenses, build fortifications, threaten Anzhou, attract Japanese troops to come to support, and sent the 2nd and 3rd regiments under the leadership of the deputy division commander to raid Bochuan Town and Yongbyon Town, occupy Yuanchuan County, and then attack Anzhou City from the east.

Anju is located in the narrowest part of the Korean Peninsula, with endless mountains in the east and the sea in the west, and is a necessary place to connect the north and south of Korea, and its military value is extremely important.

Zhang Wei felt that if the Japanese army was deployed along the river and forcibly crossed the river, the troop losses would definitely be very large, so it was convenient for Xiao Xuguang to discuss, and when he attracted the enemy's attention here, he would go south and put the 29th Division between Anzhou and Pyongyang, and easily eat the Japanese wing stationed in Anzhou, and attract Pyongyang to send reinforcements, and when the Japanese troops in Pyongyang came to reinforce, he could go south and release troops to occupy Pyongyang, if Pyongyang did not send reinforcements, he could use 3 divisions to surround and eat the Japanese 8th Division at that time.

Xiao Xuguang and Li Zhaoshui did not agree with Zhang Wei's strategy, the 28th Division, 20,000 people, if they couldn't eat a Japanese wing, then the division commander would find a piece of tofu and kill him. However, Xiao Xuguang suggested that the 29th Division could go south and release it to directly encircle Pyongyang, so as to prevent the Japanese army from running into the mountains to fight guerrillas, and sent destroyers to the Yalu River to assist the 27th Division in the battle, and to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the Yalu River into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

After listening to Xiao Xuguang's words, Zhang Wei thought that the Japanese 19th Division might escape to the north bank of the Yalu River and join the 11th Wing of the 5th Division, so it was better to go directly to Dandong and stay with the 11th Wing, now the Japanese warships are blocked in Port Arthur, there is no navy in the Yalu River and Dandong, and the destroyer's naval guns can definitely suppress the mountain artillery and field artillery of the Japanese 6th Army, as long as the army is arranged in Dandong and the destroyer is used to control the Yalu River, they can be prevented from converging and then eaten separately. So I told everyone what I thought, and everyone felt that this method was good, and a full-scale war would be launched, and every time it would eat the enemy with absolute superiority, and the Japanese army would not be able to touch the focus of our attack.

So Xiao Xuguang perfected Zhang Wei's idea, put the 31st Division in Andong County, and put down 4 destroyers, respectively with the 31st Division and the 27th Division, in order to better complete the war, sent Governor Yuan Tiande to command the 27th Division and the 31st Division to fight that night, to put the 29th Division in Pingyuan County, send 1 regiment to assist the 28th Division to quickly eliminate the defenders of Anzhou, and then the 28th Division quickly went south, and together with the 29th Division to annihilate the Japanese 8th Division in Pyongyang, it will take Pyongyang as the center to attract Japanese troops to attack.

Zhang Wei felt that Xiao Xuguang had considered it very comprehensively, although he saw that the troops were very scattered, but there were very few enemies in the encirclement, and he was crushing the enemy with absolutely superior forces, and the northern front was 2 divisions against 1 division and 1 wing, and with the cooperation of destroyers, he had a sure victory, and the middle line was 1 division against 1 wing, and it was even more inevitable to win the siege of Pyongyang City on the southern front in the future, and it was 2 divisions against half a division, and it was even more victorious.

Feeling that there were no worries, Zhang Wei and Li Zhaoshui re-boarded the torpedo boat and sailed to the open sea to prepare for tonight's layout.

Qingshui Town was guarded by only 1 squad of Japanese troops, and it was occupied by the 27th Division effortlessly, and Xiao Xuguang's headquarters was temporarily located in Qingshui County.

The 27th Division did not stop, but advanced directly to the north, sending 1 cavalry company to be responsible for reconnaissance in front, and then the 1st Regiment to open the road in front, with the large force in the middle, and the militia division behind to escort food, ammunition and other baggage, and the whole team stretched for several miles in front and back.

Guoshan, Xuanchuan and Donglin along the way, there were no large Japanese troops stationed, and Xuanchuan, which had the largest number of troops, was only stationed with 1 squad of Japanese troops. The 27th Division went all the way unimpeded.

This road is flat, the soil is fertile, and the water source is abundant, it is the grain-producing area of North Korea, and it is also a relatively wealthy area in the north of North Korea.

Arriving at Xuanchuan at noon, while resting, the Northern Theater Command came with information that the Japanese army had changed its station, and the division headquarters of the Japanese 19th Division was located in Yeongcheon County, North Pyongan Province, North Korea, echoing the 11th Wing of the 5th Division stationed in Dandong, and the 73rd Wing of the 19th Division was stationed in Uiju.

This made the 27th Division very excited, and it was about to encounter a Japanese divisional and regimental-level opponent, and if the Japanese divisional headquarters, 2 brigade headquarters and 3 wings were all annihilated here, the credit would definitely be small.

Governor Yuan, the division commander, the deputy division commander and the division chief of staff discussed the plan against the enemy, and the idea of the division chief of staff was to surround the Japanese army first, not to let the enemy go, and to use artillery to slowly consume the living force of the Japanese army.

Yuan Tiande agreed to this plan, and the deputy division commander led the 1st and 2nd regiments to the front line of the Yalu River to deploy defenses in Loat County to prevent the enemy from escaping eastward, and after joining up with the 73rd Wing, he fled into the mountains.

After Xiao Xuguang thought about it, he felt that the 31st Division would attack the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army first, and then the 27th Division on the south bank would attack again, and the destroyers would be responsible for blocking the enemy's convergence, so that the opponent could be wiped out.

Therefore, the 27th Division was ordered to attack after 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, and at that time it would send destroyers of the navy to cooperate in the operation, cut off the enemy's contact with Dandong, and suppress the enemy's artillery fire with naval guns.

After receiving a telegram from the Northern Theater Command, the whole division quickly took action.

The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and 1 Militia Regiment immediately went out to deploy defenses in Lothus County.

The 3rd Regiment immediately went out to occupy Yanzhou and make a good defense in Yanzhou.

After Zhang Wei and Li Zhaoshui left, they ordered the torpedo boat to sail north.

It was 6 nautical miles from Cheongju to Andong County, and Zhang Wei didn't want to go to Andong County too early, so he decided to go to Phi Dao first and occupy Phi Dao as a supply point to cover up the sudden appearance of supplies.

1 hour later arrived at Phi Island, there are no inhabitants on Phi Island, the area is not large, only 15 miles from east to west, only 1 mile from north to south, the island is basically not grassy, the surrounding sea water is crystal clear, there is no pollution, occasionally there are a few small fish swimming by.

Landing on Phi Island, Zhang Wei first released one battalion of engineers and asked them to build a simple wharf that could park cargo ships of 3 to 5 tons, and left one militia regiment and two 155 heavy howitzers, as well as a large amount of food, ammunition and other baggage, which could be supplemented with food and ammunition for several divisions on the 6 ground in the future.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, when it was just dark, he arrived at the sea off the coast of Andong County, and after landing on the shore, Zhang Wei did not get off the ship, but directly put the 31st Division and the baggage on the beach south of Changshan Town, and put down 4 destroyers in the open sea, 2 with the 31st Division and 2 with the 27th Division.

Then let the ship turn around and go to the sea northwest of Pyongyang.

At 1 o'clock in the evening, when they arrived at the western waters of Pingyuan County, Zhang Wei and Li Zhaoshui went ashore and let the torpedo boat go to Phi Island to rest, and took advantage of the darkness to walk towards Pingyuan County.

Today happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers, because he was in the enemy-occupied area, Zhang Wei did not dare to use a flashlight, and it took a lot of effort to reach a small road from the beach with Li Zhaoshui.

According to the estimation of the system map, there is still a distance of about 1 kilometer to Pingyuan County, Zhang Wei decided not to leave, and camped here tonight, and released his troops here before dawn tomorrow to start attacking. To be continued.
