Section 759 Korean Resistance Against Japan

Whether it is economic strength, industrial strength, or population base, North Korea and Japan are not on the same level. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In terms of military strength, the total strength of the Koreans is usually less than 100,000, and after mobilization, there are only 00,000, and after the Japanese fascists, the standing force has 1 million, and after mobilization, they are easily armed with 000,000.

It's not a level at all.

However, what is impressive is that the North Koreans have shown unusual national sentiments this time, and within 10 days of the government's order, 1 million people have voluntarily gone to the recruitment station to register for military service, and very few have evaded military service.

At this time, the Japanese army was approaching from Ulsan to Pusan, intending to capture the harbor city by land and sea, as in the Battle of Arthur, and completely open the passage for the Japanese army to land in Korea.

The port of Busan is not so easy to capture, although the DPRK has only deployed 100,000 troops here, but it is surrounded by mountains and is a typical bay city.

Although the Korean navy is not good, and there is no naval tradition, but the wariness of Japan has always been very deep, Busan as the first seaport of Korea facing Japan, the Koreans have built enough defense facilities, surrounded by mountain fortresses, and the slopes are covered with mines, if the Japanese want to attack here from the land, it is impossible not to pay the price of blood, so after the Korean navy encountered a predicament, they immediately rushed here to seek refuge, because they believed that Busan was a city that would not fall.

The Japanese mobilized heavy artillery and tried to knock open the fortresses of the Koreans, but their heavy artillery was not superior to the Korean fortress guns, because these fortress guns were produced in China.

Although the DPRK has established some military industries that can produce rifles and machine guns, there is still a shortage in artillery, especially heavy artillery, and the DPRK cannot produce its own heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, let alone a fortress gun with a caliber of more than 00 mm and the main gun even reaching 406 mm.

The Japanese attacked fiercely for more than ten days, suffering more than 20,000 casualties, but did not capture a single Korean fortress and did not make any breakthrough.

Later, the Japanese decided that this was a difficult seaport to capture, just like Arthur, so they wisely chose to change their strategy.

While blockading the Korean Navy by sea, it advanced on land, divided into two routes, one way from Ulsan, along the railway line straight to Daegu, ∠∠∠, m.☆.c▲om all the way from the railway near Busan to Changwon-gun Jinhaeup, first captured Changwon-gun, and then captured Jinhae-eup.

Zhenhaeup is the city of Zhenhae in South Korea in later generations, and it is the largest military base of South Korea and the U.S. military, which should be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but North Korea's troops have gone to defend Busan, and the defense here is naturally empty, after all, the military is limited, and it is impossible to defend every inch of the country.

Zhenhai is not a big port, because after the establishment of North Korea, trade with Japan has always been in a tepid state, and the North Koreans are also very resistant to doing business with Japan, so the development of the seaport on the Sea of Japan side is not very good, and the economic center of gravity of the North Koreans is concentrated on the side of the Yellow Sea, which is more closely related to China's economy.

However, after the capture of Jinhaeup, the Japanese finally obtained a regular port, and the transportation capacity was greatly improved, although Ulsan Bay was good, but the infrastructure was too poor, and the Koreans did not build a port anywhere, but Zhenhaeup was different, it was operated as early as the Japanese rule, and the biggest scenery here is the cherry blossoms planted by the Japanese.

More soldiers landed here, and large quantities of military supplies came ashore from here.

The Japanese advance force had already captured Daegu, and the follow-up troops continued to land from Jinhae, and then took the railway from Changwon to Daegu to converge, they planned to go north from Daegu, capture Daejeon, the transportation hub of central Korea, and then continue north to Seoul.

North Korea claims to be 3,000 miles away, but in fact it is just a country, from Zhenhae to Seoul, the highway only takes 5 hours by car, although there is no highway in this era, but it will definitely not take five days, and the Japanese have run to it.

The only difficulty is to advance along the railway, one city and one pond, so as to ensure their own logistics and transportation supplies, after all, North Korea at this time, is not the same as North Korea in history, after the establishment and development, the patriotic enthusiasm of the North Koreans, the national sentiment is extremely high, especially after the founding of the country for more than 0 years, the DPRK has cultivated a generation of educated population, these people are generally relatively young, just suitable for joining the army to fight.

As the Japanese army advanced, they found that not only did they encounter resistance everywhere, but the Koreans also organized a large guerrilla army, and wherever they could not stand it, even if it was just a village, they would not hesitate to burn it, and then the whole village moved to the mountains, and then kept coming down the mountains to harass the Japanese lines of communication.

This was a problem that the Japanese did not encounter when they colonized Korea, and they felt as if they had burrowed into the vast wilderness of northeastern China, full of bandits.

Therefore, every railway station needs to be left behind, and even every railway line needs to be patrolled and a large number of pillboxes need to be built to support.

The Japanese also felt the pressure, although they were an industrial power, but they were extremely short of resources, they could fight a few months of war, but they could not support it for a long time.

Therefore, the Japanese could only choose to loot Korean materials to feed the war, at least they planned to requisition and distribute rice on the spot, but it caused more resistance from the Korean peasants, and the guerrillas became stronger.

North Korea is also uncomfortable, Busan has been trapped as an isolated city, and the supplies will soon run out, but where is the entire North Korean navy, there are still 100,000 troops in the defensive positions, and the total number of the army and navy has reached more than 00,000, which is a loss that the North Koreans cannot bear, once the navy is completely destroyed, North Korea will definitely become a third-rate country in the world.

However, not only did the Japanese troops going north make it impossible for the North Koreans to divide their forces to support Busan, but even they themselves were a little unable to resist, and the Japanese advanced to Daejeon step by step.

The city was built by the Japanese, but it was just a village, and the Japanese railroad was built here to form a city.

The Japanese are very familiar with this place, and they can even come up with the construction map of the year, and the topographic map is even more precise to the village level, which village here has a few wells, the Japanese know, of course, it is the old map more than 20 years ago, there may be more wells, but the terrain will not change.

The Japanese were determined to win here, and the Koreans did not dare to give up, so around Daejeon, both sides have deployed troops, and soon hoarded 800,000 troops, North Korea deployed 400,000 troops here for the defense side, and the Japanese deployed 500,000 troops.
