Chapter 1947 The war is long

In the Far East and Korea, the An Jiajun was like a fierce and powerful dragon with teeth and claws, rolling forward and constantly devouring its opponents. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info

The various units took turns to replace them, chasing the ass beatings of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army did not even have a chance to breathe, and they complained bitterly, and battles broke out anytime and anywhere.

In less than two weeks, the western front in charge of Gu Changfeng had successfully taken the defense lines of the Cheongchon River and the Datong River held by the Japanese army, occupied Yichuan, Pyongyang, Punan and other cities, and spread the war to Shariwon; On the eastern front under the command of Li Jinlong, the troops were more dispersed and needed to be responsible for more areas, but due to the modern communication network, several large armies were now successfully meeting on the front line of Gangcheon City and Hamhung, and they are currently advancing towards Wonsan.

Although this was not conducive to the Anjia Army's collection of grain and grass on the spot, it also reduced the friction between the troops and the local people due to language barriers or different customs, and avoided the occurrence of hatred caused by direct confrontation with the new generation who had been brainwashed and grown up by Japanese militarist ideology.

On the evening of 1 October, in Huangju, on the north bank of the Canton River in central Korea, a unit of troops had finished resting and having dinner, and the dining trucks were still being packed, and tanks, wheeled and tracked armored vehicles, and transport trucks of various types were already assembled in the wilderness near the highway.

Heralds rode two- and three-wheeled motorcycles to and from various assembly points to deliver orders from their superiors.

In fact, the officers at the grass-roots company level had already received the order from the battalion headquarters by telephone, but the necessary procedures still needed to be carried out, and after signing their names on the order transmission form, these company-level officers immediately convened a meeting of their subordinate platoon leaders and squad leaders to deploy operations, and everything was in order.

Half an hour later, night had completely fallen.

"Let's go—"

On a Leopard II tank equipped with a communication antenna, the lieutenant of An Jiajun, wearing a black armored uniform, yelled at the transmitter, and as his raised right hand was gently lowered, more than a dozen Leopard II tanks slowly moved in the strong roar of the engine, and the faint, oil-smelling green smoke suddenly spread around this armored unit.

Closely following this tank company was another tank company.

Not far away, an armoured company equipped with armoured fighting vehicles, personnel carriers and assault guns I, tank destroyers and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles has also been activated. 《》

Farther away, large units with a large number of trucks, self-propelled guns, rocket artillery, towed artillery and anti-aircraft guns also slowly began to move.

Amid the sound of "advancing", more and more tanks, armored fighting vehicles and vehicles entered the road, but surprisingly, the congestion did not occur, and under the careful organization of the Political Department and the Logistics Department of the Anjia Army, the military police directing traffic under the high-wattage electric lights powered by diesel generators kept waving flags and dispatching vehicles.

The rolling traffic followed the highway for about a quarter of an hour, and then, under the command of the gendarmes, began to cross the Canton River, and then continued to the south, where they would have breakfast at Shaliyuan early to-morrow morning, and take the place of the friendly forces that were now attacking the line of defense of the Ruixing River between Wufeng Mountain and the Evil Mountain, and serve as the assault arrows of the whole army.

There are two roads from Sariwon to Kaesong, one to the east, passing through Sinwon-ri, Seoheung, and Sinmaku, and turning south at Namsan to Kaesong, from Pyongsan, Khanpo, and Jincheon to Kaesong. The other route is to go south first, turn east in Haizhou, and enter Kaesong. The task of this tank regiment was to take the first route from Ruixing and Pingsan to Kaesong.

At night, a river with countless small points of light surging towards the south is constantly surging.

Although it has been confirmed that there are no Japanese air forces in Korea and the Far East participating in the war, in order to ensure that the night march will not be detected by possible Japanese reconnaissance planes or gliders, the Anjia Air Force has still increased its air defense and interception forces.

The march of the troops went extremely smoothly.

......

In Pingshan, more than 100 kilometers southeast of Huangzhou, the highway is also crowded with vehicles and people.

The first quarter of the moon covered the earth with a layer of silver ash, and the Japanese troops who retreated from Pyongyang formed a winding river that rolled towards the south.

In order to prevent the all-pervasive air raids of the Anjia army, transport trucks turned off their headlights and marched, and on the mountains on both sides of the road, the Japanese infantry were panting and staggering, but in order to flee for their lives, no one cared to speak.

"The Air Force of the Chinese people!"

"Air strike!"

"Watch out for air defense!"

The panicked shouts suddenly came from the north, and quickly spread along the team to the south, almost in the blink of an eye, the team was in chaos all of a sudden, the devil soldiers took refuge in the nearby grass and woods, the vehicles on the highway panicked, traffic accidents were frequently staged, horns and scolding gathered into a piece, a scene of chaos and chaos. (《》7*

When more than a dozen mosquito bombers flew over the Japanese army, the Japanese riots quickly subsided, and the pilots of the An Jiajun army, who did not find anything unusual, began to drop bombs by feeling.

However, good luck is not accompanied by An Jiajun all the time, in such visibility, the ground is seen in the air is black, and you can only vaguely see the outline of the terrain, and you don't know where the opponent is hiding, so you can't aim naturally, most of the dropped bombs are far away from the road, and the few that fall on the road have not accidentally detonated the vehicle loaded with fuel or ammunition, and the fire that rose into the sky was quickly extinguished without a carrier, leaving only a curling plume of smoke.

The group circled in the air, and did not find any movement, so it continued to fly south, preparing to bomb Jincheon and Kaesong in front, which could disrupt the retreat of the Japanese army while reconnoitring intelligence, which was obviously a good deal.

As the planes in the sky departed, the devil soldiers jumped out of their hiding places, and then there was a sharp whistle and shouting, and the truckers began to shout loudly, pushing out the cars that had rushed into the woods next to the road, and there was a chaotic and noisy scene everywhere.

The impact of such an air raid, which was not long in coming, was obviously much greater than the damage caused by the bomb itself, and it took a long time for the chaos on the road and the hills on either side to be stopped.

Subsequently, officials at all levels began to assign personnel to search for survivors near the explosion site.

Grass-roots lieutenants, Cao Chang, Jun Cao, and army commanders took their soldiers back to the mountain roads or roads to carry out roll calls and formations, and in the section of the road where the traffic accident occurred, the devil soldiers had to push the accident vehicle to the side of the road, wait for the maintenance personnel to rush to repair it, or blast it out after the troops retreated.

It took about twenty minutes to make such a noise before the troops were back on the road.

It's really a bumpy road back to the south.

......

At one o'clock in the morning, on the front line of Xinyuanli on the west bank of the Ruixing River, the 1st Tank Regiment of the 23rd Tank Division under the Fifth Tank Army was advancing at high speed to the east.

The Datong River and Ruixing River areas are rare coastal plains on the Korean Peninsula, and in the open field, the mechanized troops of the Anjia Army easily eliminated several blocking positions deployed by the Japanese army in the east of the Ruixing River.

Immediately afterwards, the two main tank battalions of the 1st Tank Regiment, with two armored infantry battalions, rushed all the way and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese bridgehead position east of the Ruixing River with lightning speed.

Autumn has passed, more than a month after the heavy rainstorms in July and August, and the dry season on the Korean Peninsula has arrived. As a river that is very seriously affected by the season, the river surface that is more than 100 meters wide in summer is now only reduced to only 20 or 30 meters, and some sections of the river are only knee-high.

The railway bridge over the river had been blasted as early as late July in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese base camp, but in order to facilitate the evacuation of their troops, the Japanese army built a simple bridge on the river with sandbags piled up into piers and log nails as the bridge deck, which was enough for ordinary vehicles to pass, and light and heavy tanks needed to wade across the river.

With the evacuation of large numbers of troops and civilians from northern Korea, the Japanese army used sandbags on both sides to serve as temporary vehicles when the main bridge was damaged by bombs dropped by the Anjiakong Air Force.

As for the situation of this river and the response of the Japanese army, the An Jiajun used various reconnaissance methods such as aerial photography, interrogation of prisoners, and field investigation by scouts to conduct an in-depth and detailed understanding, and the order obtained by the division commander was very targeted: to take these improvised facilities in one fell swoop before the Japanese army destroyed them, so as to ensure the efficiency of in-depth assault operations!

In the face of the rolling attack of the Anjia Army, composed of more than 100 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles, the devils of about a brigade guarding the bridgehead position felt that the sky was about to fall, but they were supported by the spirit of bushido and the concept of loyalty to the emperor.

At this time, the field artillery, mountain artillery and anti-aircraft artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the other side of the Ruixing River began to fire frequently to obstruct the attack of the Anjia army. It is a pity that although the moon is in the sky, the visibility is still seriously insufficient, and the frequent shells did not pose much threat to the tanks of the An Jia Army, but the infantry rocket launchers urgently dispatched by the Japanese mainland caused damage to the tanks and armored fighting vehicles in the attack formation of the An Jia Army.

However, the number of bazookas of the Japanese army was too small, and there were less than 10 of them on the entire front, and when a rocket was fired, it immediately gave a well-known direction to the tank guns, machine guns, and machine guns.

A large number of Leopard II tanks relied on relatively thick armor and high speed, constantly approaching the enemy's bridgehead position, 105 mm tank guns, course and coaxial machine guns, desperately suppressed the fire points on the Japanese position, a large number of armored combat vehicles and personnel carriers swarmed, machine guns, machine guns gave the Japanese army a huge pressure.

As the armored infantry on the armored personnel carrier began to get out of the car to accompany the attack of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, the skillful infantry and tank coordination tactics of the Anjia Army easily broke the Japanese army's suicide attack tactics, and a large number of ghost soldiers who jumped out of the trenches with bundles of grenades and gasoline bombs temporarily filled in various containers were often swept to the ground by the Anjia officers and soldiers with automatic rifles before they could advance two steps, and when the tanks and armored fighting vehicles of the Anjia Army were unstoppably crushed from the Japanese bridgehead position, The armored infantry cleaned up the remnants of the position as quickly as possible, ensuring that the tanks crossed the Japanese position on the west bank unscathed and rushed down the river.

Tanks and armored fighting vehicles were strongly blocked from the other side of the river on the way to the crossing, and the Japanese army was about to go crazy, concentrating all their anti-tank fire and firing frantically to delay the offensive of the Anjia army.

Two more Leopard II tanks ran aground in the river, four armored combat vehicles were directly hit by anti-tank shells and turned into flaming fireballs, as well as assault guns, tank destroyers, and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles that followed the attack, all of which stopped on the west bank that had just been occupied, suppressing the Japanese artillery bombardment, and the air was full of shuttling fire and rain meteors.

By the time the first Leopard II tanks and armoured fighting vehicles reached the east bank, the situation on the battlefield quickly became clear, and the Japanese infantry and artillery positions were lost.

At this time, the flexible tactics of the An Jia Army worked again, and while the tanks and armored fighting vehicles attacked the frontal attack, they divided their troops to outflank from the left and right flanks, and half an hour later, the roundabout troops successfully closed the dragon and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops who were caught in the front and rear were caught off guard, and most of them were completely annihilated at about 5 a.m., and a small number of them surrendered, and then the troops entered Ruixing City, which was defended by only a small number of Japanese troops, and waited for the follow-up troops to arrive to replace the attack.

It was a textbook war of annihilation, often seen throughout the Korean and Far Eastern theaters. It was this series of small victories, which accumulated into big victories, that led to the orderly retreat of the Japanese army turning into a complete rout, constantly pushing the flames of war in depth.
