Why can't you leave? The first is that the armored forces of the Ming army, which have begun to gain superiority on the ground, have begun to counterattack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The second reason was because above the head of the Japanese army, Li Haoran rushed to the combat area with his Lei Gong 1 dive bomber.

Originally, because the Japanese troops and the troops of the Ming Empire were too close, it was not easy to start. But now that the Japanese army wants to leave, the distance is being widened, and Li Haoran feels that he has found an opportunity.

Soon, 8 Lei Gong 1 dive bombers swooped down from the sky and directly destroyed the pitiful Japanese targets they were targeting.

Several Japanese tanks were damaged by the explosion and vibration, some of them had broken tracks, and some of them had their engines stalled.

The Japanese soldiers inside also didn't care about repairs, jumped out of the tank and fled to a distant place. Some people had just climbed out of the tank when they were beaten into a sieve by bullets fired from the Ming army's machine guns.

The rout of the Japanese 2nd Division turned the Battle of Jiechuan into a tank battle. The two sides invested a large number of tanks in the section between Jiechuan and Shunchuan, and a thrilling tank battle began.

As the commander of the front line, Fan Ming saw for the first time what kind of state the violent duel between tanks was.

The Ming army's tank losses were also very heavy, and almost all of the No. 2 tanks left traces of Japanese shells on their armor.

And on the frontal battlefield, Fan Ming's troops finally had 7 tanks destroyed, which was already a very serious loss for a tank battalion.

So when the battle ended, everyone was stunned by the scene on the battlefield, the Japanese army lost about 300 people, and there was almost no end in sight to the ground.

Next to these corpses, there are almost 70 Japanese Type 91 combat vehicles, as well as the remains of 8 Ming tanks. The first tank war of mankind ended in the victory of the Ming Empire.

This was still a great victory, and in the battle for Jiechuan, the Ming army defeated the Japanese 2nd Division with fewer losses and won the battle.

In fact, the battle broke out between one of the Ming armored regiments and most of the Japanese divisions, the Japanese had an absolute advantage, but the side that was repulsed.

Having wasted this opportunity to counterattack, it was even more impossible for the Japanese army to recapture Jiechuan, and the gap in the defensive line was getting bigger and bigger. In the end, Mitsui Takanomiya had no choice but to abandon any plan of counterattack and leave the front-line troops to fight on their own.

This decision made the Japanese army even more difficult, and Zhang Jianjun wanted to destroy the Japanese army in a structured way, while the Japanese army retreated in the city and fought street battles with the Ming army.

However, the losses of the Japanese army were still very large, and the front, especially the Japanese 15th Division defending Anju, still suffered heavy losses despite three replenishments.

The battle situation here is stalemate, but the 2nd Army commanded by Yang Zizhen over there finally settled the Japanese troops behind him and began to move south.

In front of him was not the main force of the Japanese army, but another Japanese unit from the south of the Korean Peninsula to the north.

The two sides fought fiercely in Fupingli and Xinshang, and finally the Ming army captured these places, and at the same time occupied villages and towns such as the grassland.

Yang Zizhen's onslaught in the eastern region made the Japanese army aware of the crisis, and Mitsui Takagong urgently dispatched a reserve division to Wonsan to strengthen the Japanese army's defenses in the eastern region.

During this time, Yang Zizhen continued to attack and captured Renxing and Yongxing areas controlled by the Japanese army.

Having occupied these two areas, the 2nd Army of the Ming Empire, even if it crossed the Longxing River, gained an offensive bridgehead against the Yuanshan area.

And the Japanese did not think of counterattacking, they only deployed strong defensive positions near the port of Wonsan, hoping to keep this important port in the eastern region.

The war has reached this point, and the Ming army has broken through to the narrowest part of the land in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. At this time, the front of both sides is the shortest, and it is easier to defend.

In order to ensure this large-scale attack, the Ming Empire's transport ships lost as many as 9 ships. Although this loss is completely bearable for the sheer size of the transport fleet, it also illustrates the brutality of the battle for shipping routes.

The Ming army, which had been supplied by sea, stormed in the direction of Sunchon and Pyongyang, and the defenses near Anju were surrounded on both sides - you must know that one side of them was near the sea......

The connection between these Japanese troops and the Japanese troops behind them was only a narrow passage. They were ordered to defend Anju to the death and fight until the last moment.

As the main force of the Japanese army, the Japanese 15th Division carried out the order to defend Anzhou, and their losses were great, but they also created thorny problems for the Ming troops.

Zhang Jianjun experienced the pain of storming Japan's strong defensive line, and he finally knew why Yang Zizhen behaved so ordinarily during the battle for the Yalu River.

Because the Japanese army with a defensive line to rely on, and the Japanese army in retreat are simply two states. If the combat strength of the Japanese army in retreat is 10, then the combat strength of the Japanese army holding the city is at least 60 or even 70.

"It's really terrible, if you continue to fight like this, doesn't it mean that you don't have any tactics and simply push it to the southern part of North Korea." Looking at the map, Zhang Jianjun complained to his chief of staff with some annoyance.

Although he received a large amount of military supplies and threw them into the battle on the front line, he did not feel comfortable with the advantage.

A little breakthrough in hope, the collapse of the enemy forces on all fronts did not appear, and the two sides fought hard battles around the city.

Such a battle was tragic and pointless, at least for the Ming army, which was about to occupy Korea, did not mean much.

Turning this place into ruins was not the result that the Ming army wanted, or rather, this kind of scorched earth battle in Mitsui Takayama made the Ming Empire, which was trying to seize the land, feel a pain in the flesh.

"Cut through the enemy and cut off their transport supply lines once and for all! Then besiege these fortified cities by the Japanese army, only besiege and not attack! Zhang Jianjun quickly changed his response to Mitsui Takanomiya's tactics.

He wanted to use the armored forces to tear through the opponent's defense line, and then fill in the troops to divide and surround the Japanese army, and then focus on the siege to trap the Japanese defenders in the city.

"It doesn't seem to work very well...... The Japanese army has hoarded a large amount of grain in these cities, and the protracted siege will affect the speed of our advance......" Zhang Jianjun's chief of staff opened his mouth to give a different view.

"It's really hard to fight...... Keep the Praetorian Guard on the offensive! If Shunchuan is still like this, suspend the attack! Replace the infantry in the back to fight attrition! Zhang Jianjun, who was in a dilemma, finally denied his idea and adopted a more modest and stupid method. (To be continued.) )
