330: Change of plan

The sudden attack disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army, in fact, there were not many Japanese troops here at this time, only one squadron of troops, their main task was to build a defensive line here, waiting for the arrival of a large force, intending to completely block the retreat of the four battalions, and then flank on both sides, annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop.

The Japanese did have a lot of troops inside the mountains, but they did not have many troops on the edges on both sides of the road.

Most of them are mainly squads, mainly responsible for monitoring the road conditions and timely reporting to the Japanese troops inside the mountain. And every ten kilometers or so, a large group of troops will be planted to prevent the enemy from breaking through at a speed.

They did not expect the strength of this one brigade to be able to stop the enemy's attack, they only hoped that this one brigade would be able to delay for a while and create an opportunity for the troops behind to attack.

The squadron that appeared in front of the 4th Battalion at this time belonged to the same brigade as the two squadrons encountered earlier, and in fact, after hearing the gunshots, the squadron leader of this squadron guessed the situation.

Because when the fourth battalion was in pursuit, the sentries of their squadron saw this scene.

The sound of gunfire forced them to start building their positions, and then sent people to the rear to inform the large forces while waiting for new orders.

But no one thought that before the position was built, the enemy on this side had already hit in front of them.

During the day, the Japanese army did not dare to do too blatantly, and they still needed to hide their figures, after all, this was North Korea, and the larger the scope of the Japanese army's activities, the greater the possibility of being discovered by the Korean people.

Although I don't know why some enemy troops dare to go deep into the rear, the Japanese army, which is backward in communication technology, has no idea what is going on outside at this moment.

The sound of gunfire cannot be transmitted for tens of miles, even if it is more than 10 kilometers away, it is difficult to hear it here, and it can be said that almost no sound can be heard.

The mountains block the propagation of sound very well and absorb the sound waves of sound very well.

The 4th Battalion hardly had much effort, and after taking the Japanese by surprise, the 2nd and 3rd Companies occupied the position and an area behind the position one after another, and then the 4th Company, the battalion headquarters, and the heavy machine gun group and the mortar group quickly passed the position.

Before the Japanese could react, they were basically out of sight.

Of course, this is also at night, the line of sight is already blocked, and the fourth battalion has not lit the torches, so it can be said that it only takes a few tens of seconds to get out of the enemy's sight, and night combat is like this, the enemy can't see you, and you can't see the enemy either.

But there is no doubt that night operations are still somewhat beneficial to the active side.

The remnants of the Japanese army watched the soldiers of the fourth battalion pass through the position one after another, although occasionally someone dared to shoot to stop it, but they were soon beaten into a hornet's nest.

Until the figure of the fourth battalion completely disappeared, the Japanese troops in this squadron still did not react to what happened? Aren't they a few kilometers away? Aren't they attacking the brigade headquarters? How did it suddenly appear here?

…………

In the rear, on the top of a hill on the bank of the Yalu River, on the back slope, there are several tents scattered and scattered, the lights inside are continuous all night, and the soldiers in charge of guarding are three circles inside and three circles outside, firmly surrounding the entire mountain.

Without an order, not even a fly would want to fly in.

At the highest point of the mountain, several slightly thicker antennas held their heads high, there was no way, if it were not for the timely contact of the front-line troops, the headquarters would never have been set up here.

It's so dangerous that if the Japanese have mortars, they can even quietly move to the opposite bank and then bombard the hill.

But fortunately, the Japanese did not have mortars, not even infantry guns, and the other side was full of Royal Army troops, and the Japanese could not have had the opportunity to fire artillery on the other side.

The development of communication technology also means that they will lose something, but the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages, and this small difference is still acceptable.

"Commander, Chief of Staff! Just now the 603rd Regiment sent a report that the 4th Battalion had been returned, and on the way they encountered the interception of the Japanese army, but the number of enemy troops was not large, and the defense line had not yet been built, and the 4th Battalion easily broke through the enemy's defensive line. Cai Yi took a telegram and reported.

Cai Yi happened to go to the telegraph room to send a telegram from Cao Kun, but he happened to receive this telegram from the 603rd Regiment, so he simply took it back.

"Oh? How did the Japanese know that they were retreating? Cao Kun frowned slightly, not to mention the Japanese army, now in the world, I am afraid that only the Chinese Empire has applied radio technology to the army, and other countries are still playing with cable telegraphy.

The retreat of the fourth battalion, this was a direct order from the command, how could the speed of people catch up with the radio? And the Japanese intercepted it on the way, apparently knowing the news in advance.

As for the fact that they saw the four battalions passing, this is possible, but the four battalions have passed so long, it is hundreds of pigs, and the defense line should have been built.

Although it is impossible for the Japanese army to stop the lower four battalions, the question is, how did they happen at this time?

At this moment, Cao Kun was considering a new battle plan, and the current situation on the other side of the strait had deviated from their original expectations, and the headquarters here must also change the battle plan.

After receiving the order to retreat, the fourth battalion commander Yang Dashan was a little unwilling, and some of them really couldn't catch up, so the staff officers around him gave him an idea, pretending to retreat, so that the enemy could relax his vigilance, and then halfway into the mountains and forests, quietly bypassing, and attacking the enemy at night.

But on the way into the mountains, happened to hit the Japanese defense line by mistake, about two squadrons of troops, the fourth battalion was a little caught off guard, lost dozens of soldiers, and then pretended to fight a fortified battle, in order to confuse the Japanese army, after nightfall the fourth battalion launched a feint, pretending to be invincible, and then quickly retreated.

On the way to retreat, they encountered about a squadron of Japanese troops, but the Japanese troops in this squadron did not seem to be fully prepared, and when the fourth battalion arrived, they were still building a defensive line, so they were easily broken through by the fourth battalion. Cai said.

"And? How many troops did the Japanese hide in the mountains? Chief of Staff Cao Yuqing was slightly stunned, the enemy encountered by the troops at present made them confused, and as a result, the fourth battalion, which had accidentally hit and bumped into it, found the Japanese army farther away.

Cao Yuqing would not be stupid enough to think that all the Japanese troops in the mountains had been met by the four battalions, on the contrary, it was very likely that they were only the peripheral alert troops.

In order to avoid the leakage of information, the Japanese army could only annihilate the fourth battalion, but they did not expect that they could not stop the fourth battalion, and at the same time, they did not expect that the Royal Army was equipped with radio such high-tech.

"The Japanese must have hidden all their forces here, right?" Cao Kun was a little puzzled.

If this is the case, although it is true that they will be caught off guard in the short term, in the long run it will be the best outcome, as the Japanese themselves will be brought together, and they will be able to move directly into the second half of the first phase at the beginning of the war.

After the last defeat, the Japanese transferred the 3rd and 5th Divisions back to the mainland to replenish and recuperate.

The 4th Division, which did not suffer any losses, stayed, but the 4th Division was more dispersed and undertook the obligation to recruit the Korean army and train it as a puppet army, and the Japanese control in Korea was not as terrifying as imagined.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire also made endless overt and covert moves, which made the Japanese even more headaches.

In the end, the 2nd and 6th Divisions had to be transferred to Korea, and Obaogong was reappointed as the commander of the Second Army, and the 2nd, 4th, and 6th Divisions were assigned to Obaogong.

At the same time, there are nearly 100,000 Korean puppet troops, but these Korean puppet troops lack guns and ammunition, and even the basic training is very poor, the Japanese do not expect them to really go to the battlefield, their greater use is only to maintain law and order in Korea, help the Japanese rule Korea, just go out and scare people if they have nothing to do, if they are really trained into elite soldiers in a hundred battles, it is estimated that even the Japanese themselves are not at ease.

And after the previous lessons, before the 2nd and 6th Divisions were transferred to Korea, they were strengthened by the Japanese mainland.

In other words, the regular establishment of Japanese army divisions is now 18,000 people, and these two divisions have been strengthened to 25,000 people, although most of the replenishment are new recruits, but these recruits have received complete training.

If these two divisions were here, then there would be at least 50,000 Japanese troops in this mountain?

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the 60th Division drove out the Japanese army by mistake this time, so that the staff officers discovered some abnormalities, it is estimated that the 60th Division would really suffer a big loss this time.

"I've asked Kim Yo-cheol to send someone to inquire, but it shouldn't be any result in the short term. With the urine of the Japanese army, if it is really hidden in the mountains, then all the Korean people who have seen them must be killed, otherwise, their preparations will not be in vain? Cao Yuqing said.

This time, the Korean army is also shouldering a task, that is, to find out the news of the Japanese army, after all, it is their home field, and the Korean people still hope that Li Xi can drive the Japanese away as soon as possible, and it is undoubtedly the best choice for Li Xi to inquire about the news.

And the Chinese Empire is a little difficult to inquire about, after all, the language barrier, people just told him, and they couldn't understand it.

"Where is the North Korean army now?" Cao Kun then asked that the battle plan must be changed, otherwise the Sino-Korean coalition forces will be dragged to death by poor supplies.

"The vanguard battalion of the 5th Division of the DPRK Army has arrived at the riverside, and after an hour's rest, it will cross the river."

"Order them, cross the river immediately, and then go all the way east, and not stop until they meet our troops." Cao Kun ordered.

ps: Today's results are so miserable, why did everyone go? I'm so depressed. Oh,That's right,I'm here to apologize to Sakamoto Ryu horse shoes.,I forgot to thank the tip the day before yesterday.,I'm very sorry.,I didn't mean to.。。。 (To be continued.) )
