327: The conspiracy of the Japanese army
"Bastard, fuck around, what the hell does he Yang Dashan want to do? I really thought that when I got to the battlefield, I wouldn't be able to clean him up, right? Who gave him the audacity to call the shots? Punishment, he must be severely punished. "www.biquge.info Li Pinzhou, the head of the 603rd Regiment, threw the military kettle in his hand on the ground, letting the water in the kettle scatter all over the ground, and scolded fiercely in his mouth.
"Hey, my Regiment Commander Li, now is not the time to say anything about punishment, let's report our situation to the brigade as soon as possible. This Yang Dashan is really a master who can cause trouble, and it is not worry-free at all. Song Yi, chief of staff of the 603rd Regiment, said with a sad face.
"Order Yang Dashan to withdraw it for me immediately." Li Pinzhou continued to order.
"Commander Li, this is not in a hurry, the troops have finally arrived there, and they can't retreat easily. It's better to report the situation to the brigade first, and see what it says. Song Yi immediately stopped Li Pinzhou's decision, although Yang Dashan was a little reckless, but the battle situation was favorable to them, rashly withdrawing Yang Dashan, I am afraid that the Japanese army on the opposite side would notice something, in case the Japanese army turned around to fight a counter-pursuit, it would be lively.
Originally, Yang Dashan's troops won a big victory, although more than half of the casualties were killed, but there were less than 40 people who really lost their combat effectiveness, and nearly 400 Japanese troops were annihilated and wounded, which was definitely a big victory.
After Li Pinzhou learned the news, he also waved his hand excitedly, directly replenished the first company with 40 reservists, and then ordered the other three battalions of the 603rd Regiment to start advancing with the fourth battalion, echoing back and forth as much as possible.
But who would have thought? The fourth battalion pursued too quickly, and the other three battalions encountered some sporadic resistance from Japanese troops as they advanced, and although the scale was not large, it also successfully delayed the pace of the other three battalions.
Moreover, these Japanese troops also resisted step by step, and were driven together by the 603rd Regiment, about 2,000 people, and at this time, the large force of the 603rd Regiment was about 20 kilometers away from the 4th Battalion.
If the 2,000-strong Japanese army in front of him is not eliminated, how can the 603rd Regiment dare to support the 4th Battalion?
It can be said that the impulse of the 4th Battalion has completely broken the battle plan of the entire 603rd Regiment and even the entire 60th Division.
The original plan was to advance steadily to provide a safe site for the follow-up troops to cross the river, and then advance in batches. According to the plan, their task today is to advance ten kilometers.
But Yang Dashan was good, and directly led the fourth battalion to break through forty kilometers, and even the entire 603rd Regiment advanced twenty kilometers. Although the other regiments did not exceed their quota too much, they basically advanced about 15 to 20 kilometers in order to echo the 603rd Regiment.
It is equivalent to a fourth battalion, with the entire sixty divisions in front of it advancing frantically.
The faster the advance, the greater the pressure on the rear. Things that were no longer planned in the first place, but now they suddenly have to prepare, and the logistics and supplies can't keep up at all, and the mountains here are everywhere, which makes it even more difficult to replenish.
In addition, the whole army advanced, which also increased some hidden dangers in the rear, and the pontoon bridge was getting farther and farther away from the main force, which also gave the Japanese army an opportunity.
In the unlikely event that the Japanese army concentrated its forces to raid the pontoon bridge, and the main forces could not rush back for a while, the consequences would be unimaginable. At this time, the 60th Division, which had already crossed the river, would be completely alone, and if the Japanese army concentrated its forces again, it would not be impossible to kill the 60th Division in a short period of time.
Of course, if the coalition forces could attack at the same time, and the crossing of the river would be carried out immediately after the 60th Division had crossed the river, then the problem would no longer exist, but the problem was that the North Korean army was notified only after the 60th Division had successfully crossed the river.
That is to say, after all the 60 divisions have crossed the river, there will be no Korean troops crossing the river for at least one day, and it will not be until night at the earliest.
But basically, the first batch of troops will not cross the river until dawn tomorrow, which is why the 60th Division plans to advance only 10 kilometers, although the Japanese army is vulnerable, and the Royal Army does not take them very seriously, but the Royal Army does not think that it is invincible in the world, and with the help of the staff officers, the plan made is still relatively cautious.
In fact, Yang Dashan was already organizing a retreat at the moment.
It's just that it was not a real retreat, the troops only retreated a few kilometers back, and after completely losing sight of the Japanese army, they went directly into the mountains, and at the same time sent two squads of scouts to follow the Japanese army closely, intending to wait until the evening to sneak attack.
…………
In the headquarters of the Sino-Korean coalition forces, no one dared to hide the news about the loss of control of the front-line troops, and the entire 60th Division seemed to be crazy as a whole, with a fourth battalion in front of it with a head, and the 603rd Regiment had to follow up in order to respond to the fourth battalion, and as a result, the Japanese troops scattered there and preparing to ambush were rushed together.
In the end, it came to the point where the 603rd Regiment had to stop, and then deal with these Japanese troops first.
In addition to the 603rd Regiment, several other regiments had to be forced to continue to advance several kilometers in order to cope with the 603rd Regiment. The entire 60th Division has now completely departed from the previous battle plan.
What's even worse is that the 4th Battalion advanced about 40 kilometers, while the 603rd Regiment only advanced 20 kilometers, and the distance between them was almost 20 kilometers, which was an extremely dangerous distance.
When Cao Kun learned of this news, he was taken aback, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and forced the 4th Battalion to immediately retreat to the position of the 603rd Regiment and converge with the 603rd Regiment.
Faintly, Cao Kun always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't think of what was wrong?
Before the Korean army crossed the river, Cao Kun did not dare to let the 60th Division advance at full speed, after all, there were a lot of Japanese troops on the opposite side, and there was no problem for a 60th Division to defeat them, but there were still great difficulties if they wanted to be completely defeated, and the most headache for Cao Kun was the material problem.
Although Cao Kun did not lack supplies in his hands, even a few months ago, the empire had secretly hoarded all kinds of materials along the river. However, the pontoon bridges are limited, the speed of materials crossing the river is very slow, and the mountains and forests in North Korea are dense, so it will be very difficult to supply materials, there are no roads, and there are not enough manpower, which is what Cao Kun is really worried about.
He was not worried that the troops would not be able to defeat the Japanese, but he was worried that the troops would fail because they did not have supplies.
"I know what's wrong!" Cai Ye suddenly slapped his thigh and said in astonishment.
"Matsuha, what do you think of again?" Cao Kun couldn't help but be stunned, he was still more optimistic about Cai Yi, whether it was Wang Sirui's advice or other reasons, Cao Kun always felt that Cai Yi's future was not much lower than him, and even far surpassed him.
Cai walked up to the huge map with the names of North Korean cities clearly drawn on it, and pointed to a point.
"Commander, you see, our current position is here, not far from the opposite bank is Uiju, according to intelligence, the Japanese army stationed in Uiju has about a brigade, although these troops are scattered, but there is still a wing of strength in the city of Uiju.
And our attack this time is the northeast of the city of Yiju, unless the Japanese army knows our battle plan, so they will deploy a wing outside the city all here, but this possibility is not great, because in terms of total strength, our troops are more, we can cross the river at the same time through different places, and the Japanese do not dare to deploy all their forces here alone to intercept us.
According to the report of the 603rd Regiment, the Japanese troops who were blocked here by them at this time were about 2,000 people, and the 4th Battalion and 1st Company of the 603rd Regiment had already encountered a large group of troops before.
If we analyze it in terms of strength, what the 603rd Regiment is fighting against is the wing deployed by the Japanese army outside the city of Uiju.
However, where did the Japanese army in front of the 601st Regiment, the 602nd Regiment, the 604th Regiment, the 605th Regiment, come from? The intelligence did not show that the wing in the city of Uiju had left the city, but according to the reports of the four regiments, the enemy who appeared in front of them had exceeded the strength of at least one brigade.
It would not be surprising if the Japanese army had transferred the entire division here, but I believe that the Japanese commander would not have been so stupid as to mobilize a limited number of troops in one place on a long defensive line.
Unless they are purposeful transfers. In order to facilitate the hiding of the troops, they were scattered and deployed in this mountain forest.
And after we crossed the river, the Japanese began to order the scattered resistance of these troops? But this theory does not seem to be very reliable, and we assume for the time being that our advance just alarmed the Japanese troops hiding here, so they had to resist our advance.
Commander-in-chief, you shouldn't have forgotten that rumor that circulated in the North Korean army more than a month ago, right? If I am not mistaken, this should be a deliberate conspiracy of the Japanese army.
They want to cause contradictions between the Korean army and our army, and even induce war between our two sides, and most of our First Army is deployed in Heilongjiang, which is too far away from Shengjing, and we do not have any advantage in terms of troops.
But what if at this time, the Japanese army suddenly crossed the river and helped the Korean army defeat us? Based on this rumor, it is not impossible for the Japanese army to try to contain the Korean army, and I think this is the purpose of the Japanese army.
Provoking infighting between us and reaping the benefits of the fishermen will increase the strength of the Japanese army and postpone our plan indefinitely, which will allow the Japanese to continue to plunder the resources of Korea. Cai Ye said in one breath.
This statement is not very reliable, but it is well-founded, otherwise, how can you explain the sudden appearance of so many enemies on the opposite side?
Intelligence does not show that a division or regiment is stationed here, and intelligence shows that there is only one brigade here, and the other brigade is dozens of kilometers away.
So, the Japanese conspiracy theory seems to be reliable.
So......
Thinking of this, Cao Kun was suddenly shocked, if this is the case, there may be more Japanese troops behind, then the situation of the fourth battalion is not good.
In this operation, the 60th Division could suffer any damage, but it was absolutely not allowed to be annihilated.
"Immediately order the four battalions of the 603rd Regiment to return to the 603rd Regiment overnight, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" (To be continued.) )
