In fact, the Ming Dynasty's powerful transport force had already sent enough troops and equipment to his Eighth Army not long after Zhang Cheng arrived in Seoul. If Zhang Cheng really had the heart to stop the Japanese army, it would definitely not be the situation where the Japanese army could attack the south bank www.biquge.info of the Han River.

A large part of the reason why the Japanese army was able to assault all the way to the south bank of the Han River was that Zhang Cheng took the initiative to release water before.

The Korean Peninsula is mountainous, and there are not many plains suitable for large-scale operations. Zhang Cheng, who was familiar with many Korean War documents, was very worried that the Japanese would fight Iwo Jima-style tunnel warfare in the mountains of Korea. That's a.

Zhang Chengyi had no time and no energy to accompany the Japanese army to complete this pure attrition tactic. So, he chose to lure the snake out of the hole. Take the initiative to show weakness, use Seoul, a very important city in the eyes of the Japanese, to lure the ill-prepared Japanese troops to pounce, and then shed the last drop of blood in front of machine guns and artillery planes!

Zhang Cheng's tactics were undoubtedly successful. He successfully seduced the arrogant Japanese army, which was arrogant because of the success of the previous war, and consumed a large number of living forces in a brutal offensive war in waves.

In just over a week, nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, wounded, missing, and captured! Most of these losses were real soldiers. Ordinary troops are not like airborne troops, and all of them are combat soldiers. Most of the troops have a large part of the auxiliary forces. The large loss of the core of the army means that the troops have lost their combat effectiveness.

At this moment, the Japanese army has become the end of a strong crossbow, and the Japanese army, which is demoralized and lacks supplies, is no longer able to fight. And Zhang Cheng immediately seized this great opportunity to launch a strong counterattack. The area from Seoul to Suwon is also the most suitable place on the Korean Peninsula for large-scale operations of armored forces.

Once he succeeded in capturing Suwon, it would mean that Zhang Cheng had cut off the retreat and supply lines of tens of thousands of exhausted Japanese troops under the city of Seoul, boiling them into fat stuffed in a bowl. After losing so much fighting force, it will be difficult for Japan and Korea to send troops to resist Zhang Cheng's southward frenzy. This is also the quickest way to end the war on the Korean Peninsula as soon as possible. Zhang Cheng is not afraid of the Japanese army playing guerrilla warfare, this is not the native of the Japanese army!

Seishiro Itagaki's confidence was slapped in the face at the beginning of the Fifth Division. With tens of thousands of troops in action, and mechanized troops with a large number of vehicles and horses, it was impossible for a marching force of this size to dodge the planes of the Ming Army that filled the entire sky.

Zhang Cheng has always promoted the concept of new three-dimensional tactics in the army. Powerful air strike forces are definitely not inferior to the ground forces, and even more powerful. When the Japanese Fifth Division began to assemble, a large number of army aviation fighters had already quickly taken to the air and launched a powerful attack on the Fifth Division.

By the time the war began, Japan's army and navy had a total of about 3,300 fighters and destroyers of various types, which was no small in terms of numbers alone. However, most of these thousands of fighters are old fighters of the 96 Ship Combat and Nakajima models. Only a small number of new Zeros can really barely compete with the Fighting Falcon.

Because of the production capacity, most of the new Zero Combat was delivered to the navy, and the army aviation originally got relatively little. Moreover, the continuous fierce fighting from the beginning of the war to the present has caused a lot of losses, and at the same time, the large-scale strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland by the strategic bomber force of the Ming Army Aviation has caused the Japanese to have to deploy many new zero-combat defenses on the mainland. This directly led to the lack of fighter cover over the Korean battlefield.

The new Fighting Falcon of the Fifth Air Force of the Daming Army Aviation with a strong supplementary force was reformed, and the strength of the Japanese army was greatly consumed in the fierce battle with the Japanese army and aviation. As a result, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi couldn't send any strong covering force when he received a request for help from the Fifth Division. Most of the Zero Battles in his hands were either damaged or wounded, or mechanical problems that needed to be repaired urgently. And those old planes...... Helpless, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi had to grit his teeth and send all the old fighters in his hands out. These old planes, which even had biplanes, could not be compared with the new fighters of the Daming Army Airlines in any case.

“...... How so. Seishiro Itagaki in military uniform looked at the large number of fighters that were constantly falling from the sky with black smoke on his face. Most of them were Japanese Army Aviation fighters!

After gaining air supremacy, the dive bombers and horizontal bombers of the Daming Army Aviation roared and dropped a large number of bombs on the heads of the Fifth Division, and the Fifth Division, which lined up in a marching line, suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of soldiers and a lot of supplies were destroyed. Before entering the battlefield, the Fifth Division was slapped in the face.

Due to the lack of supplies in Japan, most of the various equipment is only a prototype, and when it really encounters a powerful blow, it has no practical significance.

The small number of anti-aircraft weapons equipped by the Japanese army hardly played a big role in the dense air strikes. A large number of vehicles were wantonly destroyed by the trained Daming Army pilots, turning them into piles of rubble and wreckage. The corners of Seishiro's eyes twitched constantly.

The pilots of the Daming Army Aviation were very fond of striking artillery and combat vehicles. Their exploits were also calculated by calculating the destruction of these important military supplies. The lack of air cover and ground air defense of the Japanese army directly made the bomber pilots of the Ming Army Air a great harvest.

Wait until the fighter group of Daming Army Airlines swaggered and flapped its wings and left. The Japanese were shocked to find that they had lost more than 50 artillery pieces, especially the precious 150 mm heavy howitzers. Nearly thirty vehicles of all types were also lost. This is mainly because heavy artillery and combat vehicles are the main targets of the Ming army aviation, because they are the most valuable. Nearly 100 other vehicles were lost, thousands of horses, and countless light and heavy weapons and ammunition were lost. The casualties were also as high as nearly 3,000!

This dismount is a bit big, and Seishiro Itagaki's eyes have turned red.

"Your Excellency!" Matsumoto Shaosa of the search wing ran to the side of Seishiro Itagaki and saluted, shouting loudly, "We have caught several pilots who are parachuting from the Ming army, what should we do!" ”

"Yaga!" The furious Itagaki Seishiro suddenly pulled out his saber, grabbed the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, slashed it hard beside him a few times, and roared loudly, "All dead, dead!" ”

Stimulated by the huge losses, Seishiro Itagaki did not understand what consequences he would have for the 5th Division if he ordered the massacre of prisoners of war. Zhang Cheng, who was extremely disgusted with the Japanese army, had no intention of taking prisoners in the first place. The massacre of prisoners of war by the Fifth Division gave Zhang Cheng an excellent excuse that this unit would not be accepted for surrender!

The ranks of the Fifth Division were very long, and when the logistics baggage troops were still in Suwon and had not yet set off, the search wing of the forward had already collided with the vanguard search force of the Seventh Armored Division under the fierce bombardment of the Ming army's army and aviation overhead.

There are armored vehicles on both sides, both are elite reconnaissance units, and even the strength is about the same. However, the 7th Panzer Division is equipped with armored vehicles with 37mm rapid-fire guns or twin 20mm guns, and also has air support. The search wing of the 5th Division had light armored vehicles with only 7.7 mm caliber machine guns.

The short fierce battle between the forwards and the fierce fighting soon ended, and more than a dozen light armored vehicles of the Japanese search force were all beaten into a sieve. The thin-skinned armored vehicles of very poor quality could not resist the intensive fire of the 20-mm guns, and several Japanese armored vehicles were shattered, and the fuel tanks were ignited and burned with black smoke rising into the sky.

A large number of Japanese corpses were scattered around the armored vehicle. Most of them were killed by MG42, but some of the unlucky ones were swept away by machine guns.

Don't look at the fact that this small-caliber cannon is useless against tanks with armored defenses. But if it is changed to dealing with ordinary infantry, it will really be next to death, and it will be death. Not to mention that there are no advanced body armor in this era, even wearing a sturdy exoskeleton armor can only be a dead end! And it's still broken!

Looking at the stumps, broken arms and wreckage internal organs on the ground, they were scattered everywhere, and there were slimy thick blood stains on their feet. The scouts of the Ming army, covering their noses, frowned and began to clean up the battlefield.

"There's a living one!" A sharp-eyed scout shouted as he pointed to a bush in the grass not far away. Everyone looked over, and sure enough, there was a huddled figure lying on its stomach in the grass.

"Wait a minute!" A sergeant grabbed the soldier who was about to walk over, staring at the swaying body in the grass with a grim face. The figure of the struggling voice, said in a deep voice, "Shangfeng recently issued a war briefing, saying that on the battlefield, there are often wounded Japanese soldiers who take advantage of our rescue to pull grenades and die together with the rescuers. Shangfeng ordered everyone to be more careful. ”

"What then?" The young soldier was visibly startled, and turned his head nervously to look at the wounded Japanese soldier who was lying in the grass not far away, covered in blood.

As a world hegemon, as a superpower that has universalized compulsory education. The quality of the population of the Ming Dynasty is not covered, it is the strongest in the world in the real sense. For these highly educated Ming soldiers, it was a matter of course to help the wounded prisoners of war after the battle. But I have never heard of a prisoner of war who will take revenge.

"Damn." The older sergeant also scratched his head a little. The education they received since childhood was that China is a civilized country, and it is a great country. Encountering this kind of thing does make them scratch their heads a little.

"What's going on?" The officer leading the team in the armored car in the distance saw that these scouts would not come after cleaning the battlefield, and asked in confusion.

The sergeant turned to look at his commander and shouted, "It's nothing......

Onboard !! Before the sergeant could finish speaking, the Japanese soldier lying in the grass not far away suddenly turned over and sat up, shouting long live while pulling the grenade in his hand.

"Da ~~~" Just when the wounded Japanese soldier had just pulled off the grenade and didn't have time to throw it, the two scouts next to the sergeant reacted extremely quickly, and suddenly raised the Somi in his hand and shot at the Japanese wounded with a fierce shot, and then several people quickly fell to the ground.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the grenade of the wounded Japanese soldier exploded.

"Damn!" The sergeant raised his hand and wiped his face, the sticky blood stain and a small piece of charred flesh. stood up and threw himself at the top, "No one is allowed to rescue the wounded Japanese soldiers in the future!" Don't fuck yourself in. These crazy people! (To be continued.) )
