When Zhang Jianjun decided to launch a new offensive the next day, December 18, the top brass of the Japanese command was still struggling with whether to withdraw from the Korean Peninsula. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The 150,000 soldiers of the Ming Empire stepped on the snow and began their attack, and before they took their own steps, Fan Ming's armored unit was ready for battle.

With more than 600 No. 2 and No. 1 improved tanks, plus No. 2 and No. 1 assault guns with armored infantry configuration, the Ming army almost invested 1,000 combat armored vehicles of various types in the Anzhou area.

These armored vehicles were followed by a full 300 Iron Bull armored vehicles.

Under this lineup, the Japanese army's defense system became like a piece of paper in an instant, and it was easily punctured.

The Qingchuan River defense line was easily breached by the Ming Empire, and the Jiechuan defenders withdrew from their own defense line without making any decent resistance.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the Ming army took the three peaks and Chaoyang (don't worry about this place name, it is written on the map).

The next day, after a whole day of hard fighting, the Japanese army, which was ravaged to death by the Lei Gong 1 dive bombers and various Ming tanks, found that the Ming army was moving south along the railway line.

The vanguard armored forces threatened the flank of Anju, the main defensive area of the Japanese army, and it was getting closer and closer to Suncheon, the core area of the Japanese defense.

Wende, Sin'anju, and Anju have once again fallen into the embarrassing situation of flanking exposure.

However, this time, Mitsui Takanomiya, who had learned his lesson, did not order his troops to retreat, but continued to insist on defending on the spot.

Because the army he placed in front of him was not too strong, he did not have Miyamoto's hidden dangers at that time, and he was able to better adhere to his strategic intentions.

He wanted to turn all the areas before Pyongyang into a scorched earth for contention, and let the Ming army pay a heavy price before they could take it away.

The main reason for this was that after studying the previous battle process, Mitsui Takanomiya found that the Japanese troops had lost more on the way back than when they held their positions.

Often when holding a certain defensive position, the Japanese army can hold out for a long time, and correspondingly can create more trouble for the Ming army.

But once the Japanese army withdrew from the strong defensive position and began to retreat, it would be pursued by the Ming army and lose more troops.

During the movement, the Japanese army lacked the ability to defend on the spot, and it would be cut and eliminated by the armored forces of the Ming army, and the speed was amazing.

As for the sudden loss of the 5th Division, it was purely an accident. If it weren't for the death of the commander of the 5th Division, the Japanese army might have lost about 30,000 men.

"Hey, the Japanese side has changed their thinking?" Looking at the map, Zhang Jianjun smiled at his chief of staff and said this.

According to his pre-estimate, when he took Jiechuan, the Japanese army would abandon the defensive line near Anju and begin to retreat.

When the time comes, he will launch another pursuit battle and annihilate about 50,000 Japanese living forces, so as to gain the initiative in the subsequent battles.

But now he found that the Japanese army had not retreated at all, and held their defensive positions in place, as if they were going to fight to the death with the attacking troops of the Ming army.

"There is news that the Japanese front-line commander has been replaced by your old acquaintance, Mitsui Takanomiya." The chief of staff hurriedly replied.

Zhang Jianjun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously sighed: "Oh, it turned out to be him." There are a few capable people in the Japanese, and they have exchanged him. ”

Mitsui Takanomiya is a person that Zhang Jianjun has studied for a long time.

At a time when several major countries around the world are studying China's young generals, Chinese generals are also studying their own opponents in every possible way.

And this Mitsui Filial Palace is such an opponent that Zhang Jianjun is familiar with.

The Japanese army retreated in Liaodong without dragging its feet, but on the contrary, it walked with a hint of determination. From that time on, Wang Jue, as the commander, asked Zhang Jianjun to pay attention to this Japanese general.

According to Wang Jue, it is this Japanese commander who is a powerful person with a very strategic vision and can judge the situation.

can make the commander Wang Jue comment like this, Zhang Jianjun wrote down this Japanese soldier named Mitsui Takanomiya, and has been paying attention to the other party.

In comparison, another Japanese commander who is already dead, Miyamoto Yuhito, is a person Zhang Jianjun is not very familiar with.

"It's really courageous, let tens of thousands of troops just wait for me to cut it in place." He retracted his thoughts, looked at the map with interest, and commented.

If you don't retreat, you run the risk of being surrounded by a roundabout. Zhang Jianjun felt that even Mitsui Xiaogong was ruthless enough to make such a plan.

This ruthlessness is not only to his own enemies, but also to his own people, and it is also ruthless.

"About two divisions of troops, huddled into a group and waiting for us to eat, it is estimated that we will have to eat for about two days......" The chief of staff frowned, obviously not very willing to forcibly attack the Japanese defensive positions.

But things will not change because of his unwillingness, he can only bite the bullet and explain to himself again: "Of course, if you take into account the casualties, you may have to fight for two more days." ”

"I see! He's going to have time. Hearing that his troops might have to wait three days, or even four days, to eat the Japanese troops near Anzhou, Zhang Jianjun realized the other side's intentions.

"They are going to use Sin'anju, Anju, Wende and other places to exchange these three or five days with me, so that they can continue to fight us again in Suncheon."

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "That's really the case." They left 50,000 people for us to eat, and then they did it all over again. ”

After figuring out this key, Zhang Jianjun hated it so much that his teeth itched. Even if the Ming army's attack ability is strong, if it takes 50,000 Japanese troops with positions to rely on and street battles to fight, it will have to suffer about 10,000 casualties, to say the least.

If Zhang Jianjun's luck is worse, and the Ming army's attacking troops are more eager for quick success, then the trouble will cause their own casualties to exceed 20,000......

This is a scoundrel style of fighting with a self-inflicted loss of 1,000, or even 2,000, and the enemy's 800. Although reluctant, Zhang Jianjun could only accept the offer.

After repeating it a few times, the Ming army would become tired, the efficiency of the attack would decrease, and even in the later stage, because of the fear of this kind of battle, they would stop attacking and resting their troops.

When the battle really comes, the Japanese army must have won the time they wanted, and the situation of the war will also change. (To be continued.) )
