477 Korean victory

The night did not come early because of prayers, and the sun finally set over the hills to the west when the Japanese defenders were hiding in the ruins and were too tired to even open their eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sky darkened, and a small Japanese steamer, by the light of the ship, docked little by little at the dilapidated dock full of corpses.

The Japanese soldiers, who had been impatient, and the Japanese civilians who had lost their luggage, began to climb the small steamer until the deck was full of people and could no longer be loaded.

"Don't squeeze! Don't push! If you push it again, it will fall! "In the opposite direction of the deck, a man who got on board first was pushed against the railing of the ship's side by the crowd and screamed.

"Shut up! Don't shout! What should I do if I attract a cannonball from Minggou? Behind him, a Japanese infantryman with a rifle wrapped in a bandage on his head scolded in a low voice.

On the other side, a child's cry seemed so harsh in the dim night that more scolding followed: "Let him stop crying!" Kill us all? ”

Before these voices could gradually quiet down, a flash of light lit up in the dark west in the distance. These flashes of light are so inconspicuous that they don't look as bright as the stars on the top of the mountain.

It was the light of the 200 mm caliber guns of the Ming Empire, because the barrel was slender, so you could even see the flame flickering from the muzzle at a high place.

The shells fired by the 200 mm cannon flew over a long distance and soon landed near the port pier, where the shelling was measured during the day, so it was very accurate.

When these shells fell from the sky, the Japanese waiting on the dock to board the ship found that even at night, the danger of their boarding was so great that it was too great to collapse.

Because with the advance of the ground forces of the Ming Empire, the 150mm howitzer can now easily cover the Busan pier.

These 150 mm howitzers joined in the suppressive fire, which turned the entire dock into hell at once, and the Japanese on it suffered heavy casualties, and some ships that wanted to get closer at night also dispelled their thoughts.

Are you kidding? Braving artillery fire, rushing up, docking at the pier and waiting for the people to board the ship, and then leaving there - who has such good luck? Dare to do such a fatal thing?

Therefore, the final result was that the Ming Empire's intermittent shelling of the port and wharf was very effective, and no ships docked again.

The new method that the Japanese sailors came up with was to use small boats to transport the Japanese ashore in other places. This kind of carrying efficiency is extremely low, and it is easy for the boat to capsize because everyone is crowded.

In this way, after a busy night, the Japanese army picked up about thousands of people, and the rest had to resign themselves to fate after dawn, praying that the Japanese could hold their positions until the next night.

Of course, this prayer did not have any effect, and at dawn the next day, the bombers of the Ming Empire joined the attack sequence on time, dropping bombs on the city of Busan.

The whole of Busan was drowned in an explosion, and the Japanese defenders, about 10,000 men, surrendered by noon, and the center of Busan changed hands after this surrender.

Countless soldiers of the Ming Empire stormed the buildings in the center of Busan, cheering victory on them, and raising the dragon flag from the commanding heights.

This was a glorious victory for them, and it was also the beginning of the collapse of the remnants of the Japanese army in the remaining small half of the city.

Amid the cheers, in the headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Ming Empire, Yang Zizhen gave the order to launch a new round of attacks. The troops of the Ming Empire began to attack frantically along the streets, and the Japanese defenders were defeated one after another.

Because of the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry of the Ming Empire advanced along the streets very quickly, and at two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Ming Empire had already hit the streets near the port area.

And in the building behind him, the Japanese soldiers and civilians hiding everywhere were cleaned by the sweeping Ming Empire infantry. They either surrendered and were escorted to a prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, or they were killed by bullet grenades and became a cold corpse inside the city.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, several tanks of the Ming Empire covered a pair of infantry and rushed into the area where the dock was located, and the steel tracks ran over the piles of corpses on the dock, and the voice changed tone.

At this moment, the resistance of the Japanese defenders has been completely disorganized, and they have lost their organizational discipline, and in some places they are resisting stubbornly, while in others they have begun to surrender as an organization.

In any case, because most of the coastal areas had been occupied by the soldiers of the Ming Empire, even if the Japanese troops in the city could hold out until night, they could not withdraw and boarded the ships and left.

It was really a bloody battle, and Japanese civilians lost at least two hundred thousand dead here. The Japanese defenders also lost a lot of troops here, with at least 50,000 Japanese soldiers captured or killed.

Because of the cold weather, there were very few wounded soldiers, and many were dropped on the street after being shot, or simply dragged to a corner, and then frozen to death in the cold night.

What is even more terrifying is that because the Japanese soldiers did not allow civilians to surrender, and the hope of boarding and leaving was always there, there were very few Japanese civilians who surrendered. The city was densely populated by the concentration of Japanese refugees from the surrounding area, which caused a large number of civilians to die under artillery fire.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after the last gunfire gradually subsided, the last battle of the Ming Empire on the Korean Peninsula ended in the victory of the Ming Empire.

The war on the Korean Peninsula, which lasted for two months, experienced a stalemate in the early stage and a tragic situation in the middle stage, and turned into a quick victory in the later stage.

The tank troops of the Ming Empire drove straight in, and it took less than half a month to advance from the front line of Pyongyang to the coast of Busan.

The Japanese forces were defeated and retreated, eventually losing the entire Korean Peninsula. By February 4, except for the scattered Japanese guerrillas who refused to surrender, the organized Japanese defenders on the Korean Peninsula had all withdrawn or been annihilated by the Ming Empire.

"Send a telegram to Your Majesty...... Zhang Jianjun ate the 42nd Division yesterday, and we have only taken Busan until now, so we are still a step slower. Yang Zizhen threw the report of the troops on the table and said to his chief of staff, Liu Zhijian.

Liu Zhijian smiled and said, "Your Excellency General, we have already made great contributions to successfully winning the Korean War...... Korea is finally back under the rule of our Ming Empire! ”
