March 5, 1945. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info northeastern suburbs of Pyongyang.

There are no rivers here, they are all flat, which is the main direction of the attack and the main direction of the defense of the Japanese puppet army.

During the first round of attack, artillery was fired, mountain artillery, howitzers, and rocket artillery were fired together, and the target was the Japanese fortifications twenty miles wide and four miles deep. The fortifications were dug out entirely on flat ground, with dense bunkers and no barbed wire, and were built out of wood that had been torn down from many houses.

The shelling lasted more than ten minutes, and the main direction of the attack was directly ahead, which was intensively bombarded with rocket artillery, all the pillboxes were blown up, and almost all the firing positions in the trenches were flattened.

Tank crews and infantry began to charge. Two large tanks drove majestically in front, and a dozen small tanks followed. The tank was followed by infantry.

The tanks reached the front of the fortifications, where scattered gunfire rang out. Machine guns on tanks began to fire, and the infantry in the back also began to fire, throwing grenades.

Soon, the Japanese fortifications at a depth of four miles broke through three miles.

The counterattack from the other side suddenly became stronger.

The troops suspended the attack, the tanks fired shells at several houses converted into fortifications, and after a few shots, a gap appeared in the fortifications, and two large tanks started their motors and rushed over, they ran over the ruins, and several bunkers disguised as ruins immediately stopped firing. Then, the two large tanks smashed several more low walls, and the Japanese troops behind the low walls scattered one after another, and the rest of the tanks followed, and the machine guns fired intensively.

The infantry of the Northeast Coalition Army also followed.

Pyongyang's outlying fortifications tore a hole up to 500 meters wide.

The front-line command quickly made a deployment, with one battalion to the south and one battalion to the north, respectively, following the tanks to expand the gains of the battle, and the other troops quickly entered the city through this opening.

The battalion commander to the south was surnamed Liu, who had fought many big cities in Anshan and Shenyang, and had rich experience, and this time he followed the first echelon and commanded.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Summons, the attack is suspended." ”

The order went down, a telegraph operator shouted over the radio, and six tanks stopped.

The opposite side was firing, but the direction of the fire was scattered.

Wait a minute, there is chaos in the Japanese positions on the opposite side, and people are shooting at each other. And such good things! Is there a puppet army uprising? No, the superiors did not inform the other side that an uprising was planned. What's going on?

After waiting for a while, a white flag was raised in the door of a building opposite, and a person came out and shouted in Chinese: "I am an underground party, and I have led the puppet army uprising here!" ”

Then he shouted it again in Korean.

Battalion Commander Liu was experienced, and said to a staff officer next to him: "You shout: Welcome, you escort the Japanese army out." ”

The man shouted, "Good." "Wave to the back.

Dozens of soldiers came out behind him, and a dozen Japanese soldiers walked out. Then, more and more people came out. After a while, the Japanese army was gone, and they were all rebel puppet troops.

The staff officer was overjoyed and said, "Go and meet them." ”

Battalion Commander Liu: "No. You shout and tell them to come over. Turning around, the operator shouted: "Inform the troops, if something is wrong, shoot immediately." ”

Something wrong finally didn't happen, the uprising was real, and soon, the North Korean underground party verified the identity of the other party. This person is indeed an underground party lurking in the puppet army, but he is just a traffic officer. He had no plans to revolt, because his puppet army commander came to his door and asked him to contact the uprising on the other side. He took the risk of leading this battlefield uprising.

March 6.

The Japanese army was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Northeast coalition forces in Pyongyang, and tens of thousands of troops were transported north from Seoul and Pusan along the road and rail. Their plan was to rely on the fortifications of Pyongyang and the Taedong River to consume the main forces of the Northeast Coalition Army and then seek a counterattack.

The Japanese troops coming from the south advanced rapidly, and the vanguard was only fifty kilometers from Pyongyang. The vanguard was driven by five bean chariots, loaded with infantry and pulling artillery, and rapidly advanced. At this rate, within a day, reinforcements will be ready for battle.

This is the last hilly area on the south bank of the Datong River, and it is flat land for miles ahead.

The road conditions here improved, and the Japanese began to accelerate.

At this moment, an explosion sounded, and a road exploded within two or three miles of each other. The explosion was so powerful that several tanks were thrown into the air and fell to the ground, shattered and broken. The car, which was not as powerful as the tank, was blown up on the spot, and the corpses of the soldiers on the car were thrown in the smoke and scattered on all sides.

In the middle of the night, the smoke of gunpowder cleared, and all the vehicles and chariots and cannons of the two or three miles were blown up, and the road surface was a big crater every ten meters.

Later, the sappers arrived and came to the conclusion that it was blown up with a large amount of yellow TNT, and the electric detonator detonated. The explosion was so powerful that the road could not be repaired, and the troops had to walk.

In the afternoon, more than half of the city of Pyongyang had been occupied by the Northeast coalition forces.

On this day, the Japanese troops defending the city engaged in street fighting, and the casualties of the Northeast Coalition Army and the Korean People's Army rose sharply.

March 7.

The siege troops entered the city, and by the afternoon, the Northeast coalition forces and the North Korean army had occupied 90 percent of Pyongyang, leaving only the city center. The Japanese army here fought street battles with several buildings as the core.

The Japanese troops coming from the south were twenty miles from the friends of Pyongyang. Entered the flat land of Gangnam.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese troops coming from the south were blocked. The blocking forces were bombed by aircraft, followed by artillery fire from the ground. Then, there was the ground blockade, and the army relied on trenches to hold off the Japanese army. The Japanese could not move forward, and heavy casualties began to occur on both sides.

At half past three in the afternoon, the remnants of the puppet army in the center of Pyongyang revolted, and they killed the Japanese soldiers in order to make the uprising go smoothly. Some Japanese soldiers were wary of them, and both sides fought together, each with casualties.

Street fighting in the core of the city continues, in a state of stalemate. The Japanese around the city were basically wiped out, and the Japanese civilians were centrally administered.

March 8, 1945.

The troops of the Northeast Coalition Army and the Korean People's Army besieging Pyongyang fought fiercely for a whole day, and by the afternoon, only a few buildings remained.

With the help of the puppet police of the uprising, the troops broke through the weak parts of the defense of the two buildings and captured the last two buildings. At this point, Pyongyang was recovered.

The Northeast Coalition Army cost 10,000 casualties, and the newly formed Korean People's Army paid the price of 3,000 casualties, destroying and capturing 60,000 Japanese troops. In addition to these 60,000 Japanese troops, 20,000 armed immigrants and 50,000 puppet soldiers and puppet policemen were also eliminated.

Most of the puppet troops and puppet police who were eliminated revolted on the battlefield, and the Korean army demanded that they directly participate in the battle with the Japanese, and some of them died directly under the guns of the Japanese, and also killed many Japanese soldiers.

A major war, after the removal of three or four adults of the Japanese and Korean occupation forces, the military balance on the Korean Peninsula has undergone tremendous changes, and the Northeast Coalition Army and the Korean Army have taken the absolute initiative.

In the afternoon, Japanese reinforcements from the south were already approaching the Datong River. At this time, the remnants of the Japanese army retreated south along the Datong Bridge. As soon as the participating Japanese troops made peace with the reinforcements, they saw a large force of the anti-Japanese coalition rushing along the bridge. At this time, dozens of artillery pieces on the north bank of Pyongyang were fired together to fire at the Japanese troops near the railway bridgehead.

Seeing that Pyongyang had completely fallen and that it was impossible to attack from inside and outside, the Japanese army decided to retreat.

The troops attacking Pyongyang began to pursue, and the pursuing troops, numbering about several thousand, pursued dozens of kilometers and stopped the pursuit. Later, the local Korean guerrillas on the south bank began to pursue and commotion, and a large number of allied forces were stationed on the spot.

In the evening, Yan'an issued a proclamation to the world that Pyongyang had been restored.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief of the Pyongyang Front, General Zhou Baozhong, became famous in the first battle. When Pyongyang was defeated in World War I, the whole of Korea was shaken, and Japan's rule in Korea was shaky.

All of China breathed a sigh of relief. However, no one believed that the Northeast coalition forces and the Korean guerrillas would recover the entire Korean Peninsula.

The whole world is watching the dynamics of North Korea to see if the Japanese will let them recover Korea without assistance?
