341 Some people rejoice and some people are sad

The Japanese army was indeed in chaos, and it was very completely chaotic. When Fan Ming knew that his troops had inexplicably broken through the outer defense line www.biquge.info of the Japanese army and attacked the area of Guicheng City, the other Ming infantry had already occupied a piece of ruins in the area of Guicheng.

"Hello? Feed? I am Fan Ming, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion...... Yes, the Japanese are collapsing, for unknown reasons, but they are retreating. My tank has entered the edge of the Guicheng urban area, yes, without any losses. Fan Ming grabbed his wireless telephone and reported the news he had just learned to his regiment headquarters.

At the time of his report, the Iron Bull armored command vehicle was climbing over an abandoned Japanese trench, and his armored vehicle was accompanied by a company of infantry belonging to the armored infantry regiment.

As the armored vehicle jolted, Fan Ming saw some Ming soldiers standing on the edge of the trench smoking cigarettes, while in the distant trench, there were almost 200 Japanese soldiers squatting with their heads in their hands. The Japanese uniforms worn by these soldiers were very shabby, and it was easy to tell that the surrendered troops belonged to the Korean Cooperative Defense Force.

"I heard that on this position, they surrendered without firing a shot." Taking off the headphones and hanging them around his neck, Fan Ming looked at the captives and asked the soldiers around him who were on guard duty with machine guns on armored vehicles.

The soldier nodded and replied, "No, I heard that the Japanese gave them a lot of ammunition, but they all surrendered before they even opened the ammunition box." But it's no wonder that they surrendered, half of them didn't even have steel helmets, and they looked like beggars. ”

They drove in the direction of Turtle City, the thick antennas on the armored vehicles swaying back and forth with the bumps of the vehicles. On another passage in the distance, one after another Tieniu armored vehicles were also driving into Turtle City, and in the distance in the Turtle City area, the Ming army's shells were still falling one after another.

The black smoke rising from the city connected with the sky in the distance, and it was as shocking as if it were a desperate end times. Turtle City, which had already destroyed many buildings by the bombing, is now no different from the ruins, and some of the remaining buildings are struggling under artillery fire.

"Phew!" A commander of the reconnaissance unit of the Ming army on a war horse grabbed his reins next to Fan Ming's armored car. He took the head of his war horse and let the war horse turn in place for half a circle before standing next to the armored car.

He pointed to the direction of Turtle City in the distance with the reins, and shouted loudly to Fan Ming: "Sir! The interrogated captives did not know why they were retreating, they were simply given the order to retreat. It seems that the Japanese army has lost its effective command, and many of the orders given are middle-level commanders. ”

The armored vehicles of the Ming army had their own distinguishing livery, for example, on the side of Fan Ming's armored car, near the hollow white dragon national emblem, there was a mark of a cloud outlined in a hollow. This means that his armored car belongs to the 1st Panzer Army, and the two forks next to the cloud indicate that it is an armored command vehicle.

There are also white numbers on the rear fenders on the side of the vehicle to represent the unit number, which is also based on previous combat experience. Many tanks and vehicles were also covered with national flags, which were also added before the war to avoid accidental damage to aircraft.

It was precisely because he saw the two hollow forks on the vehicle that the scout stopped directly next to the armored car, and Fan Ming nodded to the non-commissioned officer of the reconnaissance unit, indicating that he already knew what the other party meant. After the other party saluted, he clamped his legs between his hips and got off his horse, and ran in the direction of another army.

Just when Fan Ming rushed to the location where the 1st Company arrived with his 3rd Tank Company, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Praetorian Guards, where he belonged, also reported to the division headquarters of the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guards that the Japanese were retreating on all fronts and that their behavior was chaotic.

Of course, while organizing the troops to attack and controlling the defense line outside the city abandoned by the Japanese, the 1st Armored Division of the Praetorian Guards also reported what it had encountered to the military headquarters of the 1st Panzer Corps of the Janissaries, which had just set up camp.

This situation made the senior commanders of the Ming army overjoyed, and they thought that they would barely occupy Turtle City today, and then continue to move south the next morning to entangle the Japanese army. But now it seems that he can advance the battle line to Dingzhou and even Bayuanli and other towns before night comes.

If it can really be done to such an extent, it will undoubtedly be great news for the Ming army. In this way, the Ming army could capture Dingju, an important transportation hub in northern Korea, ahead of schedule, and could even directly threaten Pyongyang, the core city of the Japanese defense system.

Of course, this is also a mixed blessing. The originally planned battle plan of the 2nd Army to flank and encircle the Japanese 2nd Army on the plain became very embarrassing because of the unexpected results of Kamejo: the 1st Panzer Army, which was attacking head-on, was one step faster than the 2nd Panzer Army flanking it......

"It seems that Yang Zizhen must be asked to change the battle plan." Zhang Jianjun learned the news of his troops' invasion of Turtle City in the "RV", and said to his chief of staff with some tears and laughter: "Yang Zizhen is going crazy this time, and I don't know how crazy this Yang madman will be this time." ”

His chief of staff also smiled bitterly, shook his head and ordered the mechanics to send the news of Turtle City's success to the command of the 2nd Panzer Army, which was still on the way to attack. God knows what crazy things the 2nd Army will do after losing its credit, maybe the 2nd Division and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, which are fleeing south, will have a very hard time, right?

Sure enough, after learning the news that the 1st Army had taken Turtle City, Yang Zizhen almost blew up his headquarters. He was holding back the anger in his belly, and his face was so ugly that Chief of Staff Liu Zhijian did not dare to go back to the group army headquarters to report the battle situation easily.

"Damn! Damn it! The Japanese are deliberately embarrassing me Yang Zizhen, right? They are soft persimmons when my army group, aren't they? The arrogant Yang Zizhen slapped the table to vent his dissatisfaction. He is really aggrieved now, so aggrieved that he wants to cry.

When the 17th Division defended the defense line against Yang Zizhen's attack, the Japanese army fought tenaciously and frantically, so that the 2nd Army of the Ming Army could not make any achievements for a long time. That night, the counterattack of the Japanese 8th Division also caused the Ming army to suffer a lot of losses, and the battle was also quite tragic.

But when the battle entered the second day, the Japanese army unexpectedly changed its style, first the collapse of the 20th Division allowed the Ming army to directly enter the Jiangjie, and then the Yalu River defense line was abandoned by the whole line, and the 1st Army was able to drive straight into the latecomer to kill in Guicheng. Now that even Turtle City has been lost, the scene is simply more passive and passive. The abruptness of all these changes even made Yang Zizhen feel that the troops fighting against him were not Japanese. (To be continued.) )
