In capturing this position, Ma Liangang's tank company lost two tanks, both of which were hit by anti-tank guns in vulnerable parts, and without the command of the Chinese tank commander, the disadvantage of the inexperienced tank crew of the North Korean army was reflected, and the infantry did not go through the drills accompanying the tank attack, and the attacking tanks were often in a state of no infantry cover. However, this did not affect the efficiency of the overall offensive, and the tank company and infantry regiment succeeded in taking the position defended by a battalion of ROK troops and tearing a key hole in the defensive line of the ROK 17th Division.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Fei, who was actually in charge of the Hedong Xun Corps, immediately ordered four infantry regiments to be thrown there to attack the depth and flanks of the ROK position, in an attempt to expand the results of the battle. After a slight rest, replenishment of fuel and ammunition, the tank company assisted the infantry to continue the attack, and Lieutenant Colonel Le Fei gave them an order to completely penetrate the entire line of the South Korean line before reinforcements arrived.

As a matter of fact, the headquarters of the ROK Army's Ninth Army has just received a request for help from the 17th Division, and due to the lack of wireless communication facilities, most of the communication between the ROK Corps and companies is transmitted through cavalry, etc., and only units at and above the division level are equipped with high-power radio stations. However, a telegraph operator of the communication company of the headquarters of the Ninth Army was unable to deliver the telegram of the 17th Division in time due to his unskilled work, and the lack of military personnel in the entire ROK army was reflected in all aspects. The soldiers have a low level of education and lack of training, which is quite a bit like catching ducks and putting them on the shelves.

The Japanese officer in charge of the command of the Ninth Army immediately ordered three regiments of troops to be sent to support, but before arriving, Ma Liangang's tank company had already crossed the South Korean line, and the infantry regiment immediately used the South Korean trenches to consolidate its position. The entire line of defense was completely cut off, and the North Korean army continued to pour troops into this area and expand to both flanks.

This also meant that the supply line between Inchon and Seoul was cut off, and in fact the tank company intercepted a convoy of goods including canned fruit, canned meat, raincoats, tents, weapon parts and ammunition. Li Fei's car crew even grabbed a batch of toilet paper, and it is difficult to imagine how well prepared the Americans were, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that the United States has a strong industrial capacity.

In the previous Russo-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Anti-China Alliance War, the United States provided a large amount of materials to the Japanese army and the Allied forces, which initially tempered the industrial capacity of the Americans, and they already had the experience of providing materials for the war. Although the army is somewhat deficient in terms of weapons and ammunition. But the rest is perfectly fine.

After repairing their defensive positions and checking ammunition, the soldiers crouched in the trenches, smoking American cigarettes, eating American cans, and reading American magazines, waiting for the enemy to counterattack. Ma Liangang ordered the tanks of the tank company to disperse on the defensive line, looking for a hidden location, and waiting for the opportunity to deal a hard blow to the South Korean army. However, as the North Korean army invests more and more troops in this large gap, the hope of the South Korean army retaking the defense line is becoming more and more slim.

The Japanese commander still despised the problem of the gap, believing that the defensive line was only under great threat, as soon as reinforcements from three regiments arrived. The danger would be lifted, but they did not know that a section of the defense line had been occupied by the North Korean army, otherwise they would never have sent only three regiments.

Tank 112 was defended by a company of North Korean soldiers who had plenty of ammunition and high morale, and captured three infantry guns and one anti-tank gun from the South Korean army. The speed of the North Korean attack was so fast that the tanks crushed their fighting spirit and allowed all units to capture.

Previously, the South Korean army obtained some Japanese tanks, and Li Fei also hoped to meet the legendary Type 08 here. Let's see who's better. Not a single one of the Chinese tank units had destroyed the enemy tanks, because there were no enemy tanks to shoot at at all. This is the best opportunity!

Unfortunately, the South Korean army did not give Lee a chance, and all the tanks were placed on the defensive line around Seoul, and it was the infantry of a battalion of the South Korean army who came to attack the position here. At the urging of their officers, they slowly approached their own positions, and the dark shadows in the trenches and the unusual silence on the battlefield indicated that a killing was about to take place, and the corpses of the nearby South Korean soldiers made the attacking soldiers even more terrifying.

"Boom!" One shell fell around the attacking South Korean soldiers, followed by several others. Using the captured infantry guns and the mortars they carried, the North Korean troops opened heavy fire on the South Korean troops, and the accuracy of their bodies was not very good, but they still caused a lot of casualties and huge psychological pressure on the South Korean troops. Due to the urgency of time, the South Korean army did not carry artillery. In the face of the artillery fire of the North Korean army, they could only be beaten passively.

Before the attacking soldiers could touch the front of their positions, they retreated like a tide, and only the artillery repelled the first attack. Hidden in the No. 112 tank in a straw pile, Li Fei boredly lifted the hatch, popped his head out and observed the battlefield with a telescope. He felt that his own tanks would not be useful in this battle, Japanese tanks, hurry up!

The battle in the rest of the area was much the same, the ammunition of the Korean defenders was less than half, and the attacking South Korean army completely left, but was pursued by the tank troops that had been holding back for a long time, and a total of more than 1,500 South Korean troops were destroyed. After seeing the situation clearly, the commander of the Ninth Army completely gave up the counterattack and suggested that the command of the group army send more troops, otherwise the logistics supply line of the South Korean army would be completely cut off.

The South Korean army hoarded heavy troops around Seoul, but the top brass did not dare to easily mobilize troops to support the battlefield on the western side, and on the front, the North Korean army Lee Kwang-jok's corps was eyeing the tiger and launched a number of tentative attacks, although the scale was not large, the losses were very small, but the North Korean army's artillery fire was very fierce, indicating that the North Korean army also had the intention of breaking through in the front.

The situation is obvious, as long as the forces around Seoul are insufficient, the North Korean army will launch a resolute frontal attack, as long as the South Korean army does not send support to the west, it can only watch the Ninth Army be eaten by the North Korean army, and then the supply line will be completely cut off. Two choices, no matter which one was chosen, there would be a big crisis, and in the end, at the insistence of the Japanese commander, two infantry divisions were reluctantly gathered to support the Ninth Army.

In fact, the ROK army still has a heavy army group that has not been mobilized, in addition to the Ninth Army on the communication line, the 1st Army around Seoul and the 3rd Army, the 7th Army and the 8th Army of the 3rd Army, on the line from Chuncheon to Hoengseong, the ROK Army also has the Second Army of nearly 100,000 people. The number of battles between the two armies was small and small, because the logistical supplies provided by the rear were not enough to start a large-scale war, and the two attracted and repelled each other, but could not leave.

Therefore, the key to the battle situation was still on the communication line of the South Korean army, and the Hadong Xun Corps invested 30,000 troops into the gap in the South Korean defense line in one day, on the one hand, to defend against the counterattack of the South Korean army on the east side, and on the other hand, to quickly advance in the direction of Inchon on the west side.

Li Fei also wanted to continue the offensive, but was informed that the tank company was temporarily resting, and the battle in the direction of Inchon on the west side was resolved by the infantry. The battle on the peninsula can be said to be easy and pleasant, in fact, the tank troops have not encountered much trouble since they entered the battlefield, but it is impossible to say in the future, as the enemy tanks are integrated into the troops, anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines, and so on appear one after another, the tank troops will have more and more enemies, and of course the results will be greater.

In the port of Incheon, a large convoy of transport ships had just finished unloading their cargo when the rumbling sound of artillery was heard from the east. A lieutenant officer of the South Korean Army conveyed the news to the captain of the transport fleet, the American Philip, that the North Korean army was about to arrive on the outskirts of Incheon, and Philip was so frightened that Philip immediately ordered the crew to return to the ship, but it was difficult to assemble it for a while - after arriving at Incheon, most of the crew members scattered around the city to have fun, and the work of unloading the cargo was handed over to the local laborers, and only some of the crew members who were unfortunate enough to receive supplies returned to their respective ships as soon as possible.

According to the unwritten agreement, the port of Incheon should not be attacked by the other side, and the North Korean army could only stay on the outskirts of the city of Incheon, but could not enter the city. But Americans still fear for their own lives, and they haven't been at war for decades, not hunting in the mountains, not shooting Indians in the vast Midwest, not fighting street gangsters, but real war.

An American cruiser and a destroyer serving as escorts also had similar troubles to Philip, and the sailors were scattered across the city, making it difficult for the ships to activate their power systems. And they can't fire at North Korean forces outside Incheon, which would lead to a break in the tacit understanding between the two sides, which in turn would lead to a larger conflict.

The South Korean army in the city had only one battalion of troops, and was ordered by the commander of the outlying position to go to support. In the midst of this tension and chaos, no one thought of destroying the huge amount of materials piled up in the storage area of the port of Incheon, stretching from the port area to the outskirts of the city, where all kinds of materials were piled up.

Artillery, automobiles, ammunition, food, medicine, textiles, etc., an hour later, the convoy and escort warships finally left the port of Incheon, and the South Korean army on land was also defeated by the unstoppable North Korean army, and all the supplies became the bag of the North Korean army.

The first North Korean infantry team to see the supplies quickly reported to their superiors, and soon, a team of more than 100 officers, soldiers, and logistics officers arrived here, and after a burst of crazy joy, they nervously began the statistical work. In the headquarters of the Hedong Xun Corps, after Le Fei heard about this, he sent a division of troops to guard it without waiting for the statistical results to come out. (To be continued.) )
