319: Jungle Encounter
In fact, there was no need to flee the troops to inform the Japanese of their imminent counteroffensive, because it was too late, and it would leak them out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Similarly, even if they didn't report the news, the Japanese troops on the other side already knew about it.
The ferry is not far from Uiju, where a brigade of troops is stationed, and the soldiers patrolling on weekdays are even more continuous, even at night, there are many patrolling soldiers, and even a lot of secret sentry posts have been dispatched.
Last night, when the pontoon bridge was built, the Japanese noticed something unusual, but it was dark on the other side, and they couldn't see the specific situation at all, so they didn't have time to report it.
It wasn't until the pontoon bridge appeared on the opposite bank that the secret posts arranged by the Japanese became aware of it.
But it was too late, and by the time they found the pontoon, a squad of soldiers on the pontoon had already landed on the opposite bank and set up a cover position.
The dark post was still some distance away from the pontoon bridge, and by the time they got closer to check it, a company of alert troops had already gathered on the shore, and the pontoon bridge was also being strengthened and stabilized.
Besides, there are only two people in the dark outpost, and now they are given ten guts, and they don't dare to rashly attack the Royal Army.
So, I had to go back and report the situation.
In this way, a brigade of the Royal Army had successfully crossed the Yalu River and established a solid defensive line around the pontoon bridge.
Even the Japanese Army, which came to the previous division, may not be able to break through this line of defense.
When another brigade appeared on the opposite bank, the crossing was basically declared successful, because under the protection of this division, the Japanese had no possibility of destroying the pontoon bridge.
Unless they mobilize large-caliber artillery to shoot covering the river.
But the Royal Army is not vegetarian here, as the entire division of troops successfully crossed the Yalu River, the beachhead has long been expanded does not know how much, the Japanese outposts have been expelled and repeatedly retreated, now even the Yalu River can not be seen, without guidance, artillery shooting will be inaccurate.
Besides, the Japanese did not deploy any large-caliber artillery in Uiju, and it was even more difficult to destroy the pontoon bridge.
Another way is to send people down the river from the upper reaches and blow up the pontoon bridge with explosives.
But the problem is that they do not have explosives that are waterproof enough for them to use for several kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers down the river, so there is only one plan in front of the Japanese, which is to attack head-on and repel this Royal Army division on the opposite side, thereby destroying the pontoon bridge.
"Baga, how could the people of China suddenly attack? Could it be that the plan we deployed failed? In the city of Uiju, Nakata roared angrily, according to their plan, it should be the time for the Korean army and the royal army to fight in the civil war, but why? Why didn't the civil war happen? The Royal Army instead appeared in Korea?
The only possibility is that their deployment has failed, and their plan has been known to the people of China and dismantled.
The bad news is that the Japanese may have lost the intelligence agencies in the capital as a result, as well as a large amount of silver, which is extremely painful for the Japanese.
The good news is that because of his blind arrogance, Nakata believed that his plan would be 100% successful, so he instigated the Korean troops to start secretly increasing troops on the border in advance, waiting for the right opportunity to cross the Yalu River in one fell swoop.
In other words, now on the defense line on the east bank of the Yalu River, the Japanese troops are not as many as they appear from the outside, in fact, they have already planted 50,000 Japanese troops here, which is almost all of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea.
It can be said that if the 50,000 Japanese troops stationed in Korea make any mistakes, then the whole of Korea will be an undefended country.
Even if the Japanese continued to build up their forces in Korea, they would have lost half of Korea before the first reinforcements arrived.
In terms of troops, the Japanese did not have an advantage at all, and there were 180,000 men in just 10 Korean divisions, while the Japanese were only in their 50,000s when they were fully armed, and except for some who could not go to the battlefield, in fact there were a little more than 40,000 combat troops.
Although the North Korean army also had to deduct some miscellaneous troops, the number of troops that could be used for combat was still between three and four times that of the Japanese army.
What's more, there are also royal armies who don't know how many divisions, those royal armies are the real sufferers of the Japanese, as long as they appear on the battlefield, the Japanese basically have no chance of victory.
"Nakata-kun, I think we played with fire a little bit this time, and instead of destroying the attack plan of the Shina people, we gave them the opportunity to attack. I think we should immediately report back to China on the situation here, asking for reinforcements on the one hand, and forcing the Chinese to withdraw to the other side through international intervention. Yi Tsuka said with a frown.
It was clear that the plan had failed, and rumors had indeed circulated among the Korean divisions, but they were quickly suppressed, and now they were presented with North Korean soldiers waiting to attack, not Korean soldiers who were desperately trying to find the Chinese people.
Everyone knows what will happen once the North Korean army enters North Korea.
The Japanese Army is no match for the Korean Army at all, in addition to not having an advantage in numbers, but also because this is the home of the Korean Army, the common people here will support them, they will provide food and intelligence to the Korean Army, and the Japanese Army will have nowhere to hide, not even time to rest.
There is only one option to stop this from happening, and that is to kill everyone here, but they don't have time left.
The Japanese sent an envoy in the hope of making solemn representations with the Royal Army, hoping to get the Royal Army to withdraw its troops in this way, but the Japanese sent an envoy who could not enter the position of the Royal Army and was driven back.
On the other hand, the Japanese are also stepping up the deployment of troops, and they know very well that they cannot pin all their hopes on negotiations, and that force is the fundamental solution to the problem.
However, it also took some time for the Japanese to mobilize troops, and although 50,000 troops were all on the border, they were too scattered, and it would take at least half a day to gather them together.
With the expansion of the beachhead, the 60th Division of the Eighth Army crossing the river has already made contact with the Japanese, and the scale of the battle between the two sides is not large, and the largest scale is only a battle between company-level troops, and the 60th Division has already had corresponding combat training before, so it does not feel a sense of seclusion, and soon enters the combat state.
On the other hand, the Japanese army, as half of the host, was beaten by the 60th Division for a time and could not raise its head.
'Smack! ’
There was a dull gunshot, and a bullet flew quickly from the rear to the right, and the bullet was very close to the team, only about a hundred meters away.
This is the sound of sniper rifles, although the Eighth Army is a new unit that has just been established for half a year, but the 60th Division is an old unit that has been established a long time ago, and these comrades-in-arms have been training together for two or three years, and the tacit understanding between them is still very high.
The unit that was quietly advancing was the 4th Battalion and 1st Company of the 603rd Regiment of the 60th Division, and their company's mission this time was to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and prepare for the expansion of the position of the large army.
With the arrival of the Korean army behind, the existing beachhead simply cannot accommodate so many troops, and they must take the initiative to expand the defensive circle, at least, behind them, to free up space for two divisions.
There were four snipers in the company, and because of the help of the scope, the company commander asked the snipers to take turns to occupy high points and guard the surrounding situation for the troops.
Unexpectedly, not long after the troops came out of the position, the snipers planted in advance gave a warning.
A bullet directly took the life of a Japanese soldier.
And there, there were many more Japanese troops, and a morning of fighting cost the Japanese hundreds of elites, but what about the Royal Army? Less than ten people were killed in the battle, and the huge casualty ratio was poor, which not only made the Japanese army lose face, but also destroyed the morale of the Japanese army.
Therefore, the Japanese decided to send a large group of troops to ambush the Royal Army, as long as they could completely annihilate a branch of the army, the morale of the Japanese army could be re-raised.
Seeing that the Shina Army was about to enter the encirclement, the Japanese army in ambush was discovered.
The sound of gunfire is the best warning, and the company, which was already advancing in battle formation, quickly reacted to the battle.
On the premise of not knowing the enemy's situation, rash advance will only push themselves into the pit, although the Royal Army occupies an absolute advantage in equipment and training, but this kind of battle, they do not dare to have the slightest carelessness.
The sniper's left hand clenched his fist twice, and the soldier at the back already understood what he meant, which was the most basic gesture and was common to the whole army.
But the same gesture, in different environments, in different people's gestures, represents different meanings.
"Company commander, there is a Japanese encirclement ahead, and it is expected that there will be about a thousand people."
"Hey, the little devils are really bold, since they want to play, then let's play with them." The captain and company commander Gao Cheng said with a wicked smile on his face, a thousand people, his company can't eat, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to take a bite. He has a way to deal with this kind of battle.
"Defend the formation, hold on and wait for reinforcements." Gao Cheng shouted, and the troops quickly formed a layer of defensive formation with the help of geography, and the heavy machine guns were placed in a relatively open and hidden place in the firing range, but in this jungle, the heavy machine guns were not very useful, and they were not even as good as rifles.
"Go and inform the battalion commander and ask him to send troops over, and we will eat these little devils." Elevation commanded the communications soldier again.
Although Gao Cheng is very arrogant, he is also very aware of his strength, if the Japanese army on the opposite side is only three or four hundred, then maybe Gao Cheng's brain will rush directly as soon as his brain is hot.
But there were a thousand people on the other side, and Gao Cheng knew very well what the consequences would be if his brain was hot.
When you are sure of victory, it's nothing to be a madman, but when you know that you are invincible, you should happily be a turtle with a retracted head, saving yourself is the most important thing, and there is nothing to be ashamed of sticking to and waiting for help. (To be continued.) )
