“…… After four days and three nights of bloody fighting, the 53rd Army under the command of Lieutenant General Zhang Yaoming, with the cooperation of the 52nd Army, had captured the Japanese positions such as Weiyuan, Sanjuli, and Gubaoli, and the forward 106th Division had advanced to Guangchuanli, which was less than 10 kilometers away from the west bank of the Ballu River. At this point, the middle section of the Japanese defense line on the Yalu River has been completely broken through by our troops. To the east of Chushan, the 13th Army of the 7th Army was besieging the remnants of the Japanese 1st Division in Dapingli, and it was expected to be able to completely annihilate the division in two days, while the 14th Army was advancing around Dapingli to the area of Longpingli, and cooperated with the 6th Army to flank the 60th and 61st Divisions of the Japanese Army. At present, these two divisions have been compressed by our army to the area around Feilai Peak, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated. ”

"The 10th Army, from Zhongjiang to Huishan, the main force of the Japanese 1st Army is retreating, Commander Chen commands the troops to pursue in a big way, the 50th Army has broken through the defense of the Japanese 71st Division to capture Huishan, and the forward 100th Division is advancing to the line of the Xuchuan River to pursue the remnants of the Japanese 71st Division; After breaking through the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, the 4th and 101st Divisions of Central Asia were advancing to the front line of Paektu Mountain, threatening the back of the Japanese 17th Army. The 51st Army has made a breakthrough from the Lutan and Futianli lines, and the forward has already assaulted Jiashan at the three-fork junction on the Cicheng River, and the Japanese 70th Division has been surrounded by the 51st Army around Hecheng Mountain. ”

"In the east and west sections of the Yalu River defense line, our 5th Army, 11th Army, 12th Army and other units are also launching a fierce offensive on the whole front. There have been many breaches in the defensive line of the Japanese 15th Army and the 17th Army. However, at present, there is no sign of retreat of these two Japanese forces. ”

"And around Yunshan, our 3rd Panzergrenadier Division attracted a large number of Japanese living forces. The number has now been ascertained as an infantry division, four chariot divisions, and an unknown number of cavalry units. The General Staff judged that the purpose of the Japanese and Korean Army's heavy buildup at Unsan was to annihilate our 3rd Panzergrenadier Division. Block the Yunshan and Diyuling mountain ranges, and prevent our army from achieving a breakthrough along the Chushan-Yunshan road. Buy time for the Japanese troops on the Yalu River defense line to calmly retreat. The staff officer suggested that all units should intensify their offensive and be prepared for a large-scale pursuit. The reinforcement of the 4th Panzer Division in Yunshan needs to speed up the pace of the march......"

With the capture of Yunshan and the comprehensive breakthrough of the middle of the Yalu River defense line, an atmosphere of relaxation and excitement gradually filled the Beida Camp in Shenyang, and even Du Yuxin, the deputy chief of staff, who had always been more rigid, was full of smiles that could not be concealed when he reported on the military situation.

But Luo Yaoguo felt a little strange, sitting in front of the map table, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, sipping there shallowly∧ and figuring out Okamura Ningji's intentions√ hit this portion. Okamura was still able to hold his breath, and more than a dozen Japanese divisions and regiments in the east and west sections of the Yalu River defense line were also stubbornly carrying without retreating...... Even after more than 200 ships of the First Air Fleet and the Third Fleet swaggered through the Taiwan Strait, the North Korean military still showed no signs of ♀ panic.

Liu Fei and the other staff members of the Beiyang Front Army Headquarters judged that Okamura Ninji had pinned all his losses on the Yunshan counterattack. More than 200,000 troops and 1,000 tanks were concentrated to knock out the sharp knife of the 3rd Panzergrenadier Division, and then calmly retreat. The reason why the North Korean army is holding on and not retreating now is not because they don't want to retreat, but because they can't retreat at all!

The retreat of troops, especially the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Yalu River defense line, who wanted to withdraw from the battle in an organized manner, was actually a very difficult and complicated battle. It's not as simple as running away. Now they have been attacked by the squadron on all fronts, part of the defense line has collapsed, and the sky is controlled by overwhelming Chinese aircraft. A retreat in such a situation can turn into a wave if you are not careful. It's better to stick to an existing line of defense...... ÷ Shiro Yaoguo, who can pull a few more pads, is also looking forward to Okamura Ningji's retreat, as long as he retreats, the next battle will be much easier.

Bai Chongxi stood by the sand table with his arms crossed, staring calmly at the situation map of the enemy and the enemy that the sand table had just marked, and after a long time, he sighed: "This Okamura is good. Know that you can't go back. I'd rather fight the troops than take a step back, what a ruthless character. At this, a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. But he won't be able to survive for long...... Even if Yunsan can play an undefeated situation, what else can he use to fill in Incheon? ”

Liu Fei sneered: "In addition to the more than 200,000 troops in Yunshan, how much capital can Okamura have in his hands?" His only hope now is to defeat the 3rd Panzergrenadier Division in Unsan first, and I'm afraid to defeat the 4th Panzer Division, and then turn back to deal with Du Yuming's 1st Army at Incheon Lu. ”

"There won't be any problems there in Incheon? This is an amphibious landing operation with the cooperation of land, sea and air. Luo Yaoguo put down the small coffee cup in his hand, looked up at Bai Chongxi, and happened to meet the other party's gaze. Bai Chongxi smiled: "There is no need for it in Incheon." Commander-in-Chief Chen, who commanded the landing of the Beiyang Fleet, was a veteran admiral, and there were so many elite naval staff officers who were giving advice. A small landing battle could not have bothered him. ”

Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly, noncommittal. In a nationalized army. Of course, there must be certain standards for the selection of candidates, and they cannot be based solely on personal likes and dislikes. Although he himself doesn't like an "old navy" like Chen Shaokuan, but people want qualifications and diplomas, and they really can't just kick them away...... So I arranged a cold bench for the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, but I didn't expect that this time the Inchon landing happened to be within the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Fleet, and according to the regulations, it should be commanded by others!

……

At this time, in the earthy yellow waters of the Yellow Sea, a huge fleet was speeding forward ♀, a mixed formation composed of the Chinese Navy's First Air Fleet, the Third Fleet, and the transport fleet of the 1st Transport Army. There are more than 100 large and medium-sized transport ships and 11 aircraft carriers of various types, and the periphery is a sentinel circle composed of dozens of destroyers, minesweepers, and light cruisers. Four armored ships and four heavy cruisers were close to the aircraft carrier, acting as anti-aircraft fire platforms← and the formation advanced at a high speed of 22 knots. The target was Incheon on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, but the terrain of Inchon was not very suitable as a landing ground.

Because of the two shipping lanes into Incheon, the Hibioskyo and the East Channel, which are very narrow, they are easily blocked by mines, and the current speed is also very fast. And the entire harbor is surrounded by a very high sea wall. The Japanese deployed a whole division there, and built a coastal defense fortress equipped with armored turrets on Wolmi Island outside the port of Incheon!

However, in terms of the terrain of the entire west coast of Korea, Inchon is still one of the best landing sites. This is mainly because Incheon is close to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and is the hub of north-south transportation in North Korea. It's not as remote as the mountains, another alternative landing site. Therefore, once the Inchon landing is successful, the blow to the Japanese and Korean troops will also be very fatal!

As for the landing failure, Admiral Chen Shaokuan stood on the bridge deck of the Zhiyuan armored ship, looking at the huge naval formation around him, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a confident smile. With 11 motherships here. armored ships, heavy cruisers, and 27 30 giant guns of the three Zhenyuan-class battleships of the Second Fleet that had already arrived in Lushun, even a fortress like Vladivostok could not resist! What about Incheon? Not to mention, there are also two air corps of the Air Force that can be dispatched to help in the war at any time!

"Chief Chen, Commander Yu of the Second Fleet has called, they have left Port Arthur and are on their way to the sea off Incheon, and they are expected to arrive tonight."

Chen Shaokuan's eyes did not look at the new chief of staff of the Beiyang Fleet, Rear Admiral Chiang Ching-kuo, who reported to him. Instead, he turned his eyes to the gray sky'Several F190 fighters were hovering in circles in the air of the fleet, and Chen Shaokuan knew that there were four F200F long-range reconnaissance planes at a higher cloud level that were using radar to provide alert for the entire fleet.

Chen Shaokuan patted the railing of the bridge deck. He said in a deep voice: "There is no movement in the suicide plane of the Japanese devils? That thing is a prickly thing. ”

Jiang Jingguo smiled: "Please rest assured, Chief Chen, those Japanese suicide planes can't avoid the F200F radar, and there are also eight large destroyers of the 1939 type equipped with radars on the periphery of the formation, and the Japanese suicide planes will definitely not be able to pass." Besides. The brothers of the Air Force have not been idle in the past two days, and those airfields on the west coast of North Korea have already been bombed several times. ”

"Okay, that's good." Chen Shaokuan sighed softly, in the current Chinese navy, "old navy" like Chen Shaokuan was somewhat frightened by the Japanese suicide planes, but the young Zhuang faction like Chiang Ching-kuo who howled and came out of Haida all the way was disdainful.

"Convey the order. The whole formation accelerated. By the early hours of tomorrow morning, it will reach the designated position of 0 nautical miles off Incheon and launch the first wave of air strikes. Chen Shaokuan paused, and then said: "Invite Du Guangting and Zheng Guiting from the army to come over again, and I will hold a banquet on the Zhiyuan tonight to entertain the two of them." ”

"Yes, sir."

……

"Your Excellency! The Navy reported that the Chinese fleet had crossed the mouth of the Yangtze River and was now north along the coastline of China! It is estimated that it will be able to reach the nuclear power off the west coast of North Korea in the early hours of tomorrow morning! Please immediately send four divisions on the front line of the Cheongchon River to the south to strengthen the defenses of Seoul and Pyongyang. "At this time, Yuan Guan'er no longer cares about the courtesy that his subordinates should have. Without waiting for Okamura Ninji to ask questions, he directly put forward a proposal for the adjustment of the troops.

But at this time, it's really no wonder that Ishihara is in a hurry. The situation of the DPRK army is indeed critical. As soon as the news of the setback of the attack on Yunshan came, the Chinese army dispatched 2,000 planes to carpet bomb the Japanese positions and assembly areas near Yunshan! The attacking troops that Yoshida had managed to piece together were blown up in pieces. The offensive was forced to be postponed. What's more, the artillery units of the Japanese army in Yunshan suffered heavy losses, and in the next battle, I am afraid that they will not be able to provide truly useful fire support for the front-line infantry! However, China's landing fleet is attacking the west coast of Korea at a high speed of 20 knots, and a large-scale landing battle at Muqi is already imminent, but at present, there is only one division and less than 200,000 troops on the entire west coast of Korea......

"Where will the landing place of the Chinese army be?" Okamura Ninji only asked lightly.

Hearing this question, Ishihara was slightly stunned, and slowly shook his head← the west coast of North Korea, including Jeju Island, and even the ports in the western part of the Korean Strait, may be the place where the squadron landed! He really couldn't guess where these Chinese would start.

Gangmura Ninji said to himself in a desolate tone: "The initiative in this war has been completely in the hands of the Chinese army from the beginning, and the Korean army can only deal with it passively, and it has to guess the opponent's intentions. Because only by guessing the cards that the opponent is going to play in advance, the North Korean army can make arrangements in advance...... Only then can there be a possibility of defeating the enemy. ”

Ishihara was silent. Looking at the arrows of the Chinese army on the map, which went straight to Yunshan, and the entire middle of the Yalu River defense line that had collapsed. He could only shake his head bitterly: "Your Excellency Marshal, the defense system of the Korean army has been broken, and the middle road has been completely broken through by the Chinese army...... The rear of the eastern sector of the defensive line was already threatened, and the flanks of the 15th Army in the western sector were also under heavy attack by the Chinese army. And this Panzergrenadier Division of Unsan seems to be a sharp knife inserted into the heart of the North Korean army...... Now the Chinese army is going to land on the west coast of Korea again! Such a situation...... Xia Guan thought that it was already irretrievable, and it was better to shrink even if it was contracted, maybe it would be able to give the empire some more vitality. ”

"No! The North Korean army cannot retreat, and must fight to the end against the tyrannical branches! At this time, the senior staff officer of the Korean army, Qian Zhengxin, happened to walk in from outside with a copy of the telegram, and as soon as he heard Ishihara Wan'er talking about shrinking or something, the horse jumped up and objected.

"Qianjun! Be aware of who you are! Ishihara reprimanded with a calm face. Okamura Ninji waved his hand indifferently to stop Ishihara, and he turned his head to look at the angry Qianzheng Xin: "Qianjun, then you can tell me where the Shina Army will launch a landing on the west coast of Korea next?" ”

"This ......" Qian Zhengxin was stunned, his eyebrows tightened tightly A ♀ question is really difficult to answer, the entire west coast of the Korean Peninsula is now like a fence leaking in all directions, Chinese can come from wherever he wants, anyway, the stupid people in the navy have no way.

"Now we have a division deployed on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula and four divisions in reserve...... Qianjun. I think you know what that means? Okamura Ninji sighed softly: "Where these 4 divisions are placed is directly related to the fate of the Korean army!" And where this war is going. ”

Qian Zhengxin looked at the long coastline of the west coast of Korea on the map, and finally gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Your Excellency Marshal, I think that the possible landing place of the Shina Army is Nampo near Pyongyang. There are four locations, including Haeju Bay near Kaesong, Incheon near Seoul, and Gunsan in Jeollabuk-do. The North Korean army can evenly deploy the reserves of the four divisions to the Israeli location, and at the same time order the mecha army and the 22nd army to strengthen the offensive against Unsan, and be sure to regain Unsan before the early morning of the 17th and defeat the armored grenadier division of the Chinese army! ”

Okamura Ninji thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Asked Ishihara: "I think the plan to relocate the staff officer has a certain feasibility, Ishihara, what do you think?" ”

Ishihara smiled bitterly: "Although the average deployment of four divisions will cause the number of troops in each place to be insufficient, there is only a one-in-four probability of guessing the landing location of the Shina army...... Now I can only hope that Yunshan can create a strange prostitute! After all, in Yunshan, the imperial army has a 10-fold superiority in strength! If you can't win again......"

……

At this time, south of Yunshan, on the west bank of the Kowloon River, in an artillery observation post of the Japanese army, General Yoshida Pi, who commanded an army of 250,000 troops, was holding a telescope. Nervously watching the attack with 10 times the force. The unprecedented scale of the Chinese bombing has ended, and at the moment there are only about a hundred or so F190 and 4 circling in the air, "from time to time to strafe and throw a few bombs." It had little impact on the Japanese army, which numbered more than 200,000 people. Now dominating the entire battlefield is the earthy yellow crowd of the Japanese army! The air was in absolute weakness, the ground artillery suffered heavy losses, and the armored forces were ...... It is also necessary to save a little, Admiral Yoshida can squander it wantonly, it seems that only the lives of the Japanese infantry are left!

The remaining artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and so on of the Japanese army, regardless of the threat of the Chinese planes, were desperately firing shells, and the entire highlands in the southeast and southwest of Yunshan seemed to be on fire. Looking south from Yunshan City, all you see are splashing ballistics and rising firelight, smoke columns, cannon sounds, and shouts of killing like angry waves, one after another!

The crowd of Japanese infantry was like a surging torrent, holding bayonets, and under the leadership of junior officers, they braved the rain of bullets of the Chinese army!

But how could the defense line of the Chinese National Defense Force, made of steel, be easily broken through by the lives of the Japanese army? The sea of Japanese soldiers came in waves and retreated again and again, leaving only the earthy yellow corpses piled up all over the battlefield! The number of dead people is already countless, and the people who see it are completely numb.

In order to weaken the defense of the squadron and alleviate the losses in the subsequent armored assault, General Yoshida did not hesitate to throw the infantry of the "May 1st Team" in his hands into the sea of fire in front of him to consume! Tanks, which were originally invented to alleviate the losses of infantry breaking through enemy trench fortifications, are now going to open the way with the lives of infantrymen! Such a ridiculous way of playing, probably only the Japanese Army can fight?

"Herald!" At this time, Yoshida felt that the firepower of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side seemed to have weakened a little, so he turned his head to the chief of staff behind him and said, "Order the 1st Tank Division, the 1st and 2nd Independent Tank Brigades to assault!" Use the steel of the Great Japanese Empire to crush those Shina defenders into meat sauce! "To be continued
