On the same day, the third line of defense north of Pyongyang was broken by the coalition forces, Daecheon Fortress was broken, and the remaining Japanese troops retreated in Cheongju and the two isolated cities of Guseong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the days that followed, more than a dozen troops launched a final offensive against the Japanese forces in the remaining Japanese-occupied cities north of Pyongyang. Since the troops did not have the strength to attack the fortifications, they could only surround the city and prevent the Japanese army from communicating with the outside world.

The attacking forces surrounded Pyongyang from the north, east, and west, and the battle of Pyongyang, which had been speculated for a long time, had finally arrived.

The Taedong River on the south side of Pyongyang. The Taedong River, which flows from east to west and flows into the Yellow Sea, is the fifth largest river in North Korea. There is a bridge on the Daedong River in Pyongyang, called the Taedong Bridge, which is the only way to the south of North Korea.

Daedong Bridge is a railway bridge, and the railway is the famous Gyeongui Railway, which is the railway from Gyeongseong to Uiju in North Korea. This is the north-south trunk line of North Korea. Hanseong is the capital of the city, and there is the Gyeongbu Railway to the south, which was completed in 1905. By 1906, the Gyeongui Railway was opened, and the main transportation line of the Korean Peninsula was opened.

Pyongyang is the second largest city in North Korea, and is planted with willow trees, also known as Liujing, mainly in the north of the Daedong River.

There are a lot of Japanese in Pyongyang, why?

Japan has occupied Korea for decades. Over the years, Japanese culture has been promoted, and Han culture and Korean culture have been gradually suppressed. In the thirties, there were anti-Chinese incidents in Pyongyang. This led to a sharp decrease in the number of Han Chinese.

It was 1931, when Japan created the Liwanbaoshan incident in Northeast China, and then the Japanese exaggerated through a reporter named Kim Li-san of the Chosun Ilbo that how many Koreans died in Northeast China, causing large-scale anti-Chinese incidents, and anti-Chinese incidents occurred in many cities. By July, 142 Chinese had died, more than 500 were wounded, 91 were missing, and more than a third of the Han Chinese had fled alone. On July 14, Kim was assassinated after pleading guilty to creating fake news and accusing the Japanese of fooling him.

Later, the North Korean advance team returned to North Korea and led the anti-Japanese resistance, and history turned around, and the Koreans were also excluded and fled to the Northeast on a large scale.

The Japanese built a large number of factories and mines in Korea, and the number of Japanese came to work in Korea as more and more.

In recent years, the balance of forces between the Japanese army and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army has changed, and the Second Army of the Northeast Allied Army has been eyeing each other, and the Japanese in Pyongyang have long been worried about the southward movement of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army. Now that the second boot has finally landed on the floor, there's no need to worry. (Second boot?) ）

The Pyongyang garrison is large in number, second only to Seoul.

The Japanese Army in Korea was no longer the original 19th and 20th Divisions. These two A divisions have been transferred to the Pacific Theater, and the current divisions are both B and C.

From the end of 1943, the Korean Japanese army was transferred to the direct command of the base camp, under the jurisdiction of two basic divisions. It has jurisdiction over the 34th and 58th armies, as well as the 120th, 150th, 160th, 320th and 320th divisions, and the 127th mixed brigade, with a total of 9 divisions and 3 brigades, and 1670,000 people. Plus the Japanese armed immigrants, puppet army and puppet police, 2560,000 people.

One city in Pyongyang has about 70,000 Japanese troops, 50,000 puppet soldiers, and thousands of puppet policemen. In addition, there are more than 100,000 Japanese civilians in Pyongyang. They can organize a militia of one to thirty thousand.

According to intelligence, the Japanese army had entered a combat state, and they urged the puppet army to stand at the forefront.

In addition, the underground party in Pyongyang sent a telegram saying that the Japanese army had organized many armed civilians to take to the streets to maintain law and order, and that the replaced puppet police had also gone to the front. Martial law has been imposed in the city of Pyongyang, and Japanese armed civilians have begun to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and many citizens have been killed because they took to the streets.

March 3, 1945, 8:30 p.m. Pyongyang city.

A patrol of five Japanese civilians walked down a street. Their patrol route follows the tramway and includes an entire police station area.

Japan has ruled Pyongyang for 50 years, almost everyone has a Japanese name, many people have made a fortune because they have been promoted to official positions with the Japanese, and many people have made a fortune in Manchuria.

However, a few years ago, the North Koreans launched two large-scale riots in Pyongyang, and after the riots, the massacre caused many North Koreans to leave Pyongyang and flee to Manchurian cities and villages, where the houses in the cities and the suburbs were idle. As a result, the Japanese ratio in Korea has risen rapidly, with some villages having up to half of the population being Japanese.

As a large city, the Japanese population here is as high as 30%. A few months earlier, many had rumored that the Korean army was going to fight back with the Chinese army in Manchuria and to drive the Japanese away. The military was also nervous, imposing martial law early in the area and curfew at night. Many people were dragged to repair the fortifications.

Now, Pyongyang has learned a lesson, and in addition to defending the city, it has also sent heavy troops to defend the Taedong Bridge on the Taedong River, and sent heavy troops to station along the railway bank to strengthen the defense. Today, the ice of the Datong River has basically melted clean, and there is not much drift ice in the river. Nevertheless, attacking in icy water had to withstand the blows of several warships and gunboats on the river.

There was a patrol of five people at the end of the patrol range, and in front of it was the Datong Gate by the Datong River, which was the park we had built.

No, a patrol member spotted someone in the park.

Five men with guns in hand entered the park.

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out in the park. After a while, seven people came out of the park, wearing the armbands of the patrol and carrying guns on their backs, and took to the street.

At this time, there are many people in the park by the Datong River

They were guerrillas, and their mission was to sneak into Pyongyang in small boats and venture along the river fork in the night, and together with the underground party, harass the Japanese army, and cooperated with the large army to attack the city. Because the Japanese army had heavy troops along the river, there were not many guerrillas who infiltrated.

March 5, 1945, 8:30 a.m. Shenyang.

Commander-in-Chief Lu Xiaoming of the Northeast Coalition Army issued an order to encircle Pyongyang and deliver the final blow to the enemy in Pyongyang. At the same time, General Secretary Woo Ting urged the Japanese troops in Pyongyang to surrender. He urged the Koreans in Pyongyang to revolt and achieve national liberation with practical actions, and at the same time, he also appealed to the traitors: ask them to revolt, shoot at the Japanese troops around you, and win the leniency of the people with their actions.

After several days of preparation, the Battle of Pyongyang began.

On the same day, the Japanese army had already assembled in Seoul and began to march towards Pyongyang. The first echelon of the Japanese army was all automobiles, and the advance speed was very fast, and it was estimated that it would reach North Korea in about three days. At that time, the Northeast Coalition Army, which was attacking Korea, would inevitably be attacked from inside and outside.

Yan'an received the news and replayed the "Letter of Urging the Japanese Army in North China to Surrender" written by Mao Gong in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese on the radio. Urging the Japanese army in Pyongyang to surrender.
