Chapter 253: The Fall of Anping Ferry

Dealing with the Japanese troops who did not have the slightest vigilance against Inoue Kiyoshi, it was naturally extremely easy to fight, and the seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers were quickly annihilated under the front and rear attacks.

In the eyes of the defenders of Jiulian City, it is impossible for the soldiers who went to carry the materials to brave the night to transport the materials back, and it is estimated that the materials should be carried back tomorrow morning when the weather is cool and the sun has not yet come out.

At this time, the news that the Japanese supply point in Taipinggou had been taken was also transmitted back to Phoenix, and early this morning, Ye Shenglong and Liu Xianjun sent several soldiers to detour from the direction of Taipinggou to Beijingzi, and then all the way to Phoenix.

When Duan Qirui learned that Ye Shenglong and Liu Xianjun had taken Taipinggou and were actively building fortifications, Duan Qirui knew that this war should be over.

Immediately, Duan Qirui sent back to Mukden the news that Lijian Shangwen's supply line had been cut off once again, and that Taipinggou had been successfully captured.

"I didn't expect that the supply line of the Japanese army would be cut off so quickly."

Inside the mansion, Wang Bin looked at the contents of the telegram in front of him with some joy.

"Now that the supply lines of the Japanese have been cut off, then this official should also take action."

Wang Bin then sent a telegram to North Korea.

The content of the telegram was very simple, that is, to tell the North Korean side that the supply line of the Japanese army had been cut off again, and Immediately saw that Shangwen did not know it for the time being, and hoped that the North Korean side could immediately send troops and occupy the advantage.

At the end of the telegram, Wang Bin also mentioned that the Japanese army's material disposal in Taipinggou would be sent to the rebels after the war.

After the telegram was sent to the DPRK, the DPRK was in a hurry to send troops to this side.

But there was such an excellent opportunity to strike at the Japanese and obtain a large amount of military supplies, and the Korean rebels had to seize this opportunity and send part of the army first.

It can be said that Wang Bin's telegram made the rebels very greedy, and sending all the arms and materials of the Japanese army in Taipinggou could allow the rebels not to worry about arms for a period of time, and they could also arm their own army well.

On the one hand, the reason why Wang Bin was so generous was to greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Korean army, after all, the first step of Japan's mainland policy was Korea.

Although Korea has now been liberated with their own help, even if the Japanese are forced to admit the victory of the Korean uprising after the war, the Japanese will still do everything possible to regain control of Korea.

So now Wang Bin needs North Korea to become strong, as long as the Japanese want to retake North Korea, Wang Bin will vigorously support North Korea, so that the Japanese can focus all their energy on North Korea, and have no other energy on their own side, so that North Korea will become a shield to cover themselves.

Therefore, Wang Bin urgently needs to have an extra buffer zone between himself and the Japanese, and North Korea is the best choice, so it is inevitable that North Korea's armed forces will be slightly stronger.

The first troops sent were the result of Wang Bin's hope that Korea would be able to attack the Japanese from behind two days earlier, and the rebels had been mobilizing troops capable of fighting since they received Wang Bin's request.

At this moment, in Ping'an Dao, Yizhou, the rebel army has already arranged an army of 10,000 people, and this Ping'an Dao was originally the base camp of the rebel army, so the troops deployed in Ping'an Dao have been trained by Cui Fugui and others.

As for combat effectiveness, it was still possible to bully the Japanese army by virtue of its numerical superiority, and according to the plan of the rebels, they would attack the Japanese after gathering an army of 30,000 men.

However, because of the temptation of arms and Wang Bin's request, the Korean troops gathered in Uiju in advance had to attack in advance.

As for why Wang Bin didn't need this batch of munitions, there was another reason: the caliber of the bullets and guns of the Japanese army was different from the caliber used by his own army, so it was better to give them to the Koreans.

The army of 10,000 people in Yizhou, Cui Fugui and others still know the roots, as one of the teams of the resistance organization, it is also the army trained by Cui Fugui and others.

The soldiers recruited from the 10,000-strong army gathered in Euiju were all soldiers who had hatred for the Japanese, and even though their combat ability was somewhat insufficient, there were times when hatred could erupt into considerable combat effectiveness.

As soon as the order to send troops was given, the Korean army in Uiju began to prepare, and the next day, the third day after Wang Bin's side took Taipinggou, the Korean army in the direction of Uiju finally began to cross the river.

The first battle of the Korean army was a large Japanese army at Anpyeong Ferry, and the Korean army, which was ten times the enemy, did not wait, but fought directly with the Japanese.

Of course, the North Korean army is also uncomfortable in this fight, even though this 10,000 people against 1,000 people should seem to be very easy to fight, but the military quality of the two sides reflects the gap.

The military training of the Japanese was far stricter than that of the Koreans, so the defending Japanese army had the advantage of training and terrain, while the Korean army had only undergone basic training and had experience in fighting the Japanese squadron at home.

In contrast, the only advantage of the Korean army was that they were not short of munitions, and the Japanese at Anpyeong Ferry did not know that their logistical supplies were cut off again.

From morning to noon, the Japanese were still very comfortable in dealing with the attack of the Korean army, and their own side only lost more than 200 civilian soldiers, while the Korean side lost more than 1,000 soldiers in the morning.

It seems that the North Korean army suffered a lot of losses, but in fact, although the Japanese army inflicted huge casualties on the North Korean army, the 1,000 casualties were only a tenth of the North Korean army's combat effectiveness.

In order to repel the attack of the Koreans in the morning, the Japanese troops at Anping Ferry had already used half of their ammunition, and if they attacked again in the afternoon, the Japanese troops at Anping Ferry would have no ammunition available.

At this time, the defenders of Anping Ferry remembered why the supplies they had said had not arrived in the past two days, but it was already too late, and the most important thing on the ferry side was that it was not equipped with a transmitter.

At present, only the military camps on the front line and Jiuliancheng have transmitters, and even Taipinggou, which is used as a supply place for supplies, does not have transmitters, so the Japanese captain at Anping Ferry only sent a few soldiers to Jiuliancheng to report on the attack launched by the North Korean army.

The news of the North Korean army's attack on the Anpyeong Ferry was not known until the Japanese wing commander in the Jiulian City in the afternoon that the news was known, and the North Korean army at the Anpyeong Ferry launched attacks again and again.

In the absence of munitions, the Japanese troops at the Anping Ferry were very difficult to defend, and the firepower in the afternoon was much less than the strong firepower in the morning.

It's just that not long after Jiuliancheng received the news that Anping Ferry was attacked, the Japanese army position at Anping Ferry had already started the final offensive.

A steady stream of Korean troops stepped on the position of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army carried out a tragic white-knuckle battle, a stick of incense time on the position of Anping Ferry has no trace of the Japanese army, only one by one Korean soldiers remained, the North Korean army successfully occupied the Anping Ferry.
