Chapter 1955: Baptism of Fire

On the Western Front, the attack on the strong defensive line west of Jeonju was simpler and cruffier than Li Jinlong imagined, and the effect was surprisingly good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ(《》)

After the battle started at 7 o'clock in the morning, the reaction of the Japanese troops in the area east of Gimcheon was similar to that of the devils and stick soldiers here, who had long been accustomed to the irregular shelling of the An Jiajun's nerves, hiding in trenches and mountain fortifications, patiently waiting for the shelling to end.

At the same time, because the Anjia Army took the initiative to abandon the attack, isolated and established refugee shelters, and intensified the elimination of Japanese militants infiltrated in the liberated areas, the Japanese army lost all its geographical advantages, people and advantages, and had to return to the old road of passive defense.

At half past seven in the morning, amid the rumbling of artillery, a squadron of B3 medium-range bombers and eight AN-7 transport planes, under the protection of more than 20 fighters, flew above the Japanese battle line and dropped the newly developed ground-penetrating bombs newly developed by the Syrian Ordnance Research Institute on the Japanese front in turn.

This kind of ground-penetrating bomb weighs three tons, contains a ton of high-explosive **, its shape is thin in front and thick in the back, like a long pointed feather arrow, in which the arrow is a penetrating head made of high-strength steel, and the arrow body and feather tail are high-explosive ** and delayed fuse. When the Drill Bomb hits the ground, it will not explode immediately, but will continue to drill downward, and when it reaches a certain depth, it will explode at a pre-set time, thus destroying the targets in the fort and fortifications.

At present, the ground-penetrating bombs that can be put into use are mainly air-dropped types, and now the Ordnance Research Institute is developing a missile version, so that in the future, it can cause fatal damage to the enemy's fortresses and fortresses through precision guidance.

The ground-penetrating bomb that fell from the sky, with huge inertia, fell to the core fortification area of the Japanese army, as well as the anti-artillery holes, ammunition depots, artillery positions and other positions, instantly penetrated the thick mountain wall or the top of the reinforced concrete, and drilled into the fortress, fortifications and tunnels in a daze.

The huge explosion sound mixed with the sound of shelling and explosions made the heavens and the earth lose color, and huge pillars of smoke soared into the sky, converging into a huge mushroom cloud. (《》)

In order to enhance the striking effect, the warheads of some ground-penetrating bombs put into use for the first time today use thermobaric bombs made of solid fuel, and a large number of devils hiding in trenches, fortresses, and mountain tunnels are either torn to pieces by the shock wave excited by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb, or they are killed by hypoxic suffocation due to the high temperature and heat after the explosion of the thermobaric bomb and the rapid consumption of oxygen in the air.

The sound of explosions and fires everywhere in the mountains was much more powerful than that of the Eastern Front.

Before the bombing ended, B3 bombers and AN7 transport planes dropped a large number of napalm bombs on the Japanese forward positions, and then flew away, with thick smoke and flames, almost encircling the positions of the devils.

The area was developed early, and almost all the trees in the mountains were cut down, so there was no need to worry about forest fires. On the one hand, they had to avoid the blows of the artillery of the An Jiajun, on the other hand, the napalm surrounded the entire mountain range in a sea of fire, coupled with the raging of thermobaric bombs, many devils and stick soldiers became fire men with teeth and claws, and more died of high temperature and lack of oxygen.

The shelling ended at 8 a.m., and three hours later, when the mountain fires were gradually extinguished and smoke billowed from the battlefield, the infantry of the Anjia Army broke out of their positions and launched an attack on the hilltop occupied by the Japanese, capturing the enemy's forward and deep positions with little effort.

After the continuous shelling and high-temperature burning, most of the mines that the Japanese army had placed on the land base of the railway and along the highway had been detonated, and a few were completely reimbursed after a muffled sound under the demining of the demining vehicles that were urgently dispatched.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers of the First Army were in a panic, and under the city of Jeonju, which was defended by only one squadron of Japanese troops, after a simple battle, they took this important city located at the western foot of the Luling Mountains with almost zero casualties.

From the area east of Jeonju, all of them are high mountains and mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Japanese army did not expect that the Anjia Army would adopt such a "bad" means to attack, and threw the troops clean on the front line, although some garrison troops were deployed in depth, but its role was mainly to prevent the infiltration of our army, and there was no way to compete with the main force of the Anjia Army, and it was too late to temporarily transfer troops from the coast, so it caused the situation that the Anjia Army broke through the Quanzhou front on the west road.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Third Army, which had taken over the attack of the First Army in the early morning of yesterday, was in a state of great strength, and before the Japanese army was aware of the abnormal situation on the front line, it had already advanced the battle line along the railroad and road to Namwon and Guseong, threatening the safety of Gwangju and Yeosu.

......

On the western front, there was not only the Jeonju front, but also a large coastal plain in the area south of Iksan, and when the Japanese army saw that the Anjia army was stagnant, they also built corresponding anti-tank trenches and fortifications opposite the position built by the Anjia army, and confronted the Anjia army.

In charge of the offensive in this area was the 5th Tank Group, and when the battle began in the early morning, there was no artillery preparation beforehand, hundreds of tanks rushed out of their positions, stirring up billowing dust, and the 55 times the diameter of the 105mm cannon, the black muzzle of which was like a demon that could devour everything.

The Tiger I and Leopard II tanks crushed the withered yellow weeds, and with great might, they rushed towards the Japanese defense line at high speed.

In the sky, attack planes and bombers threw bombs on the Japanese positions one by one, and the fighters circled at low altitudes, constantly diving down and beating the Japanese troops with the machine guns and aviation machine guns on the nose and both wings.

Halfway through the tank's march, about 30 helicopter gunships flew over from the northern sky, crossed the tank group, roared and rushed towards the Japanese position, just came to the sky above the Japanese position, the fire was like a vulture flying in hell splashing terrifying flames, a ** rocket with a brilliant tail flame, like a meteorite rushing into the atmosphere, quickly smashed down on the top of the devil and the stick soldiers.

One of the important reasons why the Japanese army did not collapse was that a large number of rocket launchers and 47mm anti-tank guns were arranged on the battle line.

The devils and stick soldiers were prostrate on their positions, and the 105-mm shells fired by the tank guns were constantly passing over their heads, and between these shells, there was a "whoosh" sound from a large number of large-caliber machine gun bullets rubbing against the air. Due to the angle, lying on the trench and watching the rolling sea of tanks has a stronger visual impact.

When the tanks of the An Jiajun approached a distance of 1,200 meters, the 47-mm anti-tank guns opened fire one after another, and the devil artillery really lived up to its name, and most of the shells accurately hit the front armor of the Tiger I tank that rushed to the front, and the surface of the tank erupted into brilliant fires.

As the turret turned, the 105-mm shells accurately hit the firing point that fired at them, and the devil's anti-tank guns flew into the sky together with the stunned artillerymen.

In this short four-to-five-minute confrontation, about 30 or so 47-mm anti-tank guns were directly reimbursed by tank guns, and more than 20 were hit by attack planes and bombers, and they were instantly torn apart.

The tanks did not hesitate to pounce on the Japanese positions, and the suffocating sense of oppression and naked fear became stronger and stronger in the hearts of the Japanese officers and soldiers as the distance between them shortened.

The huge muzzles of the Tiger I tank and the Leopard II tank that followed it erupted from time to time, sweeping the fire support points of the Japanese position.

A devil bazooka man shouldered the bazooka and stood up fearlessly, but before he could finish aiming and firing, he was torn apart by a string of bullets - it was a rain of bullets from the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun of the armored fighting vehicle that followed the tank.

However, some people set an example, and naturally some people followed suit, and more and more devil bazooka hands raised their bazookas and stood up, some of them were beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets, and some of them were successful and successfully shot the rockets.

However, the result made the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers extremely desperate, and the Tiger I tank, which was hit by the rocket in front of the tank group, still continued to pounce on the position unscathed.

Under the blow of the Anjia Army's air-ground integration, the tense nerves of the Japanese army finally broke under unprecedented pressure.

The torrent of ironclad armor, with the rolling crowd of armored infantry accompanying the tank attack, smoothly crossed the trench where the tank could pass after the engineer blasted, swept past the Japanese defensive positions one after another, and did not hesitate to penetrate in depth. The defensive line that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build was shattered by armored forces.

The rolling torrent, like blazing magma, destroys all obstacles in its path with a devastating force.

At this time, the Japanese army was also stunned by the sudden blow. Half a month ago, the tactic they adopted was to attack the Anjia army, so they took the initiative to retreat, and then took advantage of the darkness of the night to ambush troops everywhere, and through familiarity with the terrain, they carried out harassment, poisoning, sneak attacks, and other means, waiting for an opportunity to recapture the lost position, so that even if they could not get back the lost territory, they could delay the pace of the Anjia army's advance.

However, in the past ten days, the Anjia army has not moved, and the Japanese army has to concentrate its forces on the front, and gradually formed a situation of confrontation, and now the confrontation has been broken through all of a sudden, and the brain cannot turn around at all, so what follows is a one-sided massacre.

The tank army of the Anjia Army successfully penetrated the Japanese position and began to outflank in a roundabout way, while the follow-up troops followed the tearing opening, surging in, quickly consolidating and expanding the results of the battle, with the formation of an encirclement one by one, the Japanese army could not escape even if they wanted to.

Major General Saburo Okazaki, commander of the Japanese brigade in charge of the command of this line, desperately "asked for tactical guidance" from the rear, but at this time, the entire battlefield had been locked by the early warning planes of the Anjia Army, and the Japanese army's radio was interfered with, and the telephone lines were cut by the officers and men of the special forces of the Anjia Army who took helicopters to the rear of the enemy.

The battle ended at two o'clock in the afternoon, about 13,000 devils and stick soldiers were annihilated, and the Fifth Tank Army barely stopped at all, continuing to advance southward, advancing the battle line to the line of Chuankangli and Gaochang in front of the Meishan Pass in the southern section of the Luling Mountains before sunset.

On the morning of the next day, the Japanese troops at the Meisan Pass and Gwangju Fortress in the rear learned that the flanks Namwon and Guseong had been lost, and fearing that they would be cut off by the Anjia army that came in a roundabout way, retreated without a fight, and surrendered the natural danger to the Anjia army, and all of them retreated to Naju to set up defenses, so that they could escape from the Korean Peninsula through Mokpo Port at any time.

......

On 4 November, the Australian Japanese launched a campaign to force the Bass Strait, and at noon on the same day, with the help of the Combined Fleet, they successfully captured Gold Island and Flinders Island, but when they launched a landing on Tasmania, they were counterattacked by the superior forces of the United States, and the battle was extremely stalemate and fierce.

On the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese army headquarters issued an order for all troops in Korea to withdraw, and the Koreans who did not retreat, under the supervision of the gendarmerie and under the leadership of the backbone of the Korean youth and the dedication team, built trenches, laid mines, held the port, and carried out the "jade crushing" plan.
