Chapter 280~282 Bicycle Blitz
Outside the city of Shunchuan, artillery fire was flying and gunpowder smoke was filled.
With the sound of heavy machine guns, groups of Russian shock troops were repelled by the ferocious machine gun fire, leaving corpses all over the mountains.
The Chinese Emperor [***] team, which was responsible for blocking the Russian army, came from the 5th Regiment of the 117th Brigade of the 117th Division of the 234th Army of the Second Front Army. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Li Dazhi, the regiment organized a powerful three-dimensional cross-defensive firepower network relying on the fortified city of Suncheon Castle and the small heights on the two flanks outside the city.
In the fortifications built on small dirt slopes on both sides of the road near the city wall, the officers and men of the first battalion used sandbags to build heavy machine-gun positions, relying on crossfire, to blockade the Russian attacking troops from the left and right sides, and the infantry was responsible for covering. At the head of the city, in addition to relying on the city wall to fire at the enemy from a high place, the three battalions concentrated all the lightning guns of the whole regiment on the three battalions, 12 80 mm lightning guns and 12 60 mm lightning guns, these 24 lightning guns hid behind the female wall to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and used the advantage of the ballistic curve of the lightning guns to carry out artillery strikes on the enemy, causing huge casualties and psychological fear to the enemy.
Since the 234th Regiment was pursuing at high speed on bicycles, it did not carry infantry guns. But fortunately, the Russian army was in a hurry to retreat, and heavy weapons such as artillery were not brought up behind.
In this way, the thunderbolt artillery of the 234 regiment can play the role of the main artillery support.
"Ready~put!"
At the sound of an order, 24 mine guns opened fire in turn.
"Knock knock!"
The shell flew out of the barrel in an instant, crossed the female wall, roared and shot into the air, and then drew a curved parabola in the air, and finally landed accurately in the impact area of the Russian attacking force.
"Boom!"
Lightning shells exploded one after another, and the high-explosive warhead of the Hesojin charge caused a huge blast shock wave, and the lethality of the fragments within a range of five or six meters was extremely amazing, causing huge casualties to the Russian shock troops.
In front of the Russian position, Major General Sibersky looked at the remnants of the defeated generals who were once again beaten back in front of the position, five minutes ago it was still a 600-strong knife battalion, and only less than 100 people came back five minutes later, and more than 500 people died under the heavy machine guns and shells of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team.
Sibersky's blood-red eyes suddenly poured his anger on the fire scouts.
"The [***] team on the opposite side obviously has artillery support, are you all straw bales? I haven't found it for a long time. ”
"Report to the general, enemy shells did come out of the city."
"You pig brains, huh? Shunchuan City, which is a bit bigger, and the city walls are so high, what cannonball can be fired in such a short distance and curvature? Could it be that their shells will not turn around on their own? ”
Several officers of the reconnaissance unit were scolded by Sibsky, but they could only smile bitterly, they reconnoitred many times, and the trajectory of the shells was indeed highly curved. But with their level of knowledge, they couldn't imagine what cannon could shoot such a ballistic shell.
"General, there is a report from the rear that the more than 100,000 troops of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Emperor [***] have launched a full-scale battle to cross the river two days ago, and have successively captured Sinuiju, Qingshui, Bitong, Chushan, Shitang, Cicheng, Huishan and other places, and our army's Yalu River defense has been completely lost. At present, the enemy's advance has been pursued to Yunkou, and our troops are in a bitter battle after the break, and if our army cannot take Shunyi within six hours and open the passage to Pyongyang, then our army will be attacked by the enemy on its back and there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army. ”
Sibsky naturally understood the current situation, but in front of him was the city of Shunyi guarding the main road to Pyongyang, and in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team, it was impossible to break through in a short time.
"When will our artillery arrive?"
"Our artillery is still on the way, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there in a short time."
The logistics system of the Russian army can be described as tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and there is nothing in peacetime, but once it is time for war, all kinds of problems are immediately exposed. In the face of the fierce pursuit of the Chinese Emperor [***] team, most of the Russian soldiers have become frightened birds, and they are constantly scrambling during the retreat, so that the artillery team is blocked at the rear.
In Sibersky's thoughts, the eighth charge of the Russian army had begun.
"Da Da Da!"
The heavy machine-gun fire from the front of the city and the high ground on both sides of the city formed a three-dimensional crossfire network, and countless bullets poured down, so that the attacking Russian soldiers were beaten into human flesh sieves on the spot, and the flesh and blood flew miserably, and the Russian army suffered heavy casualties for a while.
Looking at the rows of fallen Russian soldiers, Sibsky's brows twisted into iron bumps.
The Russian army's offensive action in the next three hours still did not improve, but only increased casualties. The greater danger is that news is constantly coming from the rear that the broken Russian army cannot stop the fierce attack of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team at all, and has begun to disperse.
"We can't go on like this."
Sibsky immediately decided to change his route, no longer to Pyongyang, but to Yangdeok, and finally arrived at Wonsan in eastern Korea. There were Russian ships there, which could be evacuated to Ulsan by ship or directly to Vladivostok.
Sibersky understood that with the current Russian army in Korea, the total strength was only 30,000 or 40,000, and it could not stop the 100,000 troops of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Empire. Moreover, after the two battles of Yalu River and Shunyi, Sibsky already knew that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team was not at all as vulnerable as the Russian high command claimed, and one Russian soldier could win three Chinese soldiers, which was simply nonsense.
Sibersky was not optimistic about the situation in North Korea, so he had already planned to prepare a withdrawal to Vladivostok once he arrived at Wonsan.
Sibersky's strategic calculations were certainly commendable, but he didn't have a chance. The overall operational layout of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Empire was far larger than Sibsky had thought. From beginning to end, the Korean campaign formulated by the General Staff of the Chinese Empire was basically to annihilate tens of thousands of Russian [***] troops in Korea, and it did not intend to let go of any Russians.
At the same time as the Yalu River Defense Campaign broke out on 4 November, the Third Front Army of the Chinese Empire had already organized more than 50 troop carriers and more than 1,000 requisitioned mail ships, cargo ships, and other civilian ships from the ports of Lushun, Tianjin, and Weihaiwei, and carried the Third Front Army to land in Shuju, Haiju, Nampo, Incheon, Gunsan, and Pusan, respectively, under the escort of the local fleet.
By the afternoon of November 10, the Third Front Army of the Chinese Empire had successively completed the landing operations in the above-mentioned areas and launched a powerful attack.
On the west coast of Korea, the Second Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy dispatched four battleships, the Jianwei, Xuanwei, Zhiwei, and Panyun, and the fourth fleet, four large armored cruisers, the Chasing Wind, the Chasing Wind, the Chengfeng, and the Hunter.
Under the fierce attack of the giant ships and artillery, the coastal fortifications deployed by the Russian army in Soju, Haeju, Nampo, Incheon, Gunsan, Busan and other places were quickly destroyed.
The battleship's powerful firepower and ultra-long-range range suppressed the reinforcements of the surrounding Russian defense forces and the Korean puppet army, covering the successful landing of the Third Front.
After landing near the major port cities on the west coast of Korea, the Third Front Army quickly advanced inland, giving the Russian army no time or opportunity to organize a counterattack.
The Russian army in North Korea has insufficient troops, to defend large cities and strategic points, and other areas are defended by the North Korean puppet army. The so-called Korean puppet army, that is, the Korean king Li Jilun supported by Russia, and the Chinese Empire supported the original king of Korea, Li Xi, so for Li Jilun to be called the Korean puppet king, his army was called the Korean puppet army.
The strength of the Korean puppet army is as high as 700,000, but the weapons and equipment are inferior, and the combat effectiveness is very poor. In the landing operation on the west coast of Korea launched by the Third Front Army, the Korean puppet army collapsed at the first touch, resulting in the landing of the Chinese Emperor [***] team did not have time to build beachhead fortifications, and pursued the Korean puppet army vigorously, chasing and fighting all the way.
Under this one-sided combat situation, a series of battle plans prepared by the Third Front Army of the Chinese Empire had to be urgently changed. This plan could not keep up with the changing battle situation, and forced the commander of the Third Front Army, General Liang Huadian, to immediately order that the landing armies should not wait until all the troops were assembled, and that the advance landing force could launch an attack as soon as it reached the regimental size. In view of the lack of Russian troops in Korea and the extremely low combat effectiveness of the Korean puppet army, Liang Huadian asked all armies to draw up local battle plans on their own on the premise of ensuring the overall combat objectives of the front army.
As a result, the troops of the various landing zones of the Third Front Army drew up local operational plans in accordance with their own actual conditions. The Chinese Emperor [***] team blossomed on all sides, and more than a dozen battlefields were set up at once, and for a time, there were many wars on the west coast of Korea, and there were wars everywhere.
On November 11, the 81st Division of the 41st Army of the Third Front Army rapidly advanced towards Pyongyang after capturing the port of Nampo.
At the same time, Colonel Biksky, the Russian garrison brigade guarding the city of Pyongyang, saw that the North Korean puppet army was vulnerable, so he decided to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack.
On the afternoon of the 13th, the 320th Regiment of the 81st Division, the forward of the 320th Division, encountered the Pyongyang garrison brigade of the Russian army on the south bank of the Taedong River, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the open land in the western suburbs of Huangzhou. Xiao Dayong, the commander of the 320th Regiment, had participated in the Battle of Aihui and was completely dismissive of the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. Xiao Dayong immediately transferred the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to launch an active attack, and ordered the 1st Sharp Knife Battalion to detour to the right flank of the Russian army and quickly cross the river in the upper reaches of the Datong River. In order to race against time, all the officers and men of the 1st Battalion took the initiative to jump into the cold river to support the pontoon bridge, so that the officers and men of the 1st Battalion crossed the Datong River in less than an hour, and then detoured to the flank and rear of the Russian garrison brigade.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, a battalion carried out a surprise attack on the rear positions of the Russian troops on the left flank. The Russian garrison brigade is a temporary position, only the front position has been built, the rear defensive position has not had time to be repaired, although the first battalion has no artillery, but the lightning artillery has played an important role at this time, becoming the best weapon for infantry fire support.
Under the sudden attack of the first battalion, the outer positions of the rear of the Russian army were suddenly lost.
At night, the soldiers in the rear of the Russian army did not know the surrounding situation, thinking that the Russian positions in front were lost, which caused chaos. The soldiers of the first battalion attacked from all sides like wolves in a sheepfold, and made a mess of the entire Russian garrison.
Xiao Dayong, who was on the opposite side, saw that the battalion had been bombed on the Russian position, and immediately understood that the first battalion of sharp knives had successfully attacked by sneak, so Xiao Dayong ordered the whole regiment to launch a fierce attack.
In the night battle, the Russian artillery was inconvenient to move and aimed poorly. On the other hand, the 320th regiment, the individual thunderbolt can provide fire support for the soldiers in mobile combat at any time, and the night covers the weakness of the lightning cannon with a short range, and the powerful mobile surname, even if the Russian army discovers the firing location of the thunderbolt, by the time they adjust the artillery to hit it, the other party has already changed places.
The Russian artillery was blinded, and the lightning shells of the Chinese Emperor [***] team easily hit the Russian positions, so that the Russian soldiers hiding in the anticline and trenches had nowhere to hide.
Soon, the third company of the second battalion tore a hole in the defense line of the left flank of the Russian army and broke into the inner line of the Russian army. Then the second battalion adjusted the direction of attack and rushed in through the gap.
At 10:35 p.m., the 2nd and 1st Battalions flanked the positions of the Russian troops on the right flank, and the Russian troops on the right flank were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and after holding out for 15 minutes, they abandoned their positions and broke through on all sides.
Xiao Dayong knew that the strength of the 320th Regiment was not as large as the Russian garrison brigade, and it was not easy to fight the trapped beasts, so Xiao Dayong ordered the whole regiment to leave an opening in the northeast direction to let the Russian army break through a part of the siege, so as to reduce the pressure of the whole regiment to annihilate the enemy.
The battle continued until midnight, and more than half of the Russian army was wiped out by the Chinese Imperial soldiers in the chaos, another part surrendered, and the rest of the Russian army scattered and fled in the chaos.
At about one o'clock in the morning, the 320th Regiment won the battle of the Datong River.
Early the next morning, after resting for a few hours, the 320th Regiment set off again and advanced towards Pyongyang.
At noon on the 14th, the 320th regiment arrived at the south gate of Pyongyang.
When Xiao Dayong was about to give the order to attack the city, a white flag was erected on the head of the city, and the commander of the Korean puppet army garrison, Kim Chengqian, cut off the head of Colonel Biksky, the commander of the Russian garrison brigade, and surrendered to the Chinese Emperor [***] team to Kaesong.
It turned out that after Major Biksky, the commander of the Russian garrison brigade who broke through last night, fled back to Pyongyang, he planned to pack up his soft and prepare to escape. He ordered Kim Seong-kyu to lead the North Korean puppet army garrison brigade to continue to defend the city, and although Kim Seong-kyu had more than 30,000 men, his equipment was too poor, and the average weapon was a gun for five people, or an outdated Shariman rifle with a smoothed rifle, and the ammunition had been limited by the Russian army. Jin Chengqi had already secretly learned from the telegram of the Russian army that the Chinese Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were attacking Korea, and the Russian army had been defeated on all fronts.
Jin Chengqian planned to use Bixsky's head and his wealth to ask for credit from the Chinese Emperor [***] team, and Xiao Dayong fought all night and was already sleepy. In addition, the Second Front Army had already reached Shunyi, and in order to prevent the Second Front Army from occupying Pyongyang first, Xiao Dayong accepted the surrender of Kim Seong.
Subsequently, Pyongyang lowered the flags of Russia and North Korea, raised the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire, and Pyongyang, which had been absent for seven years, once again fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire.
At the same time that the Third Front Army won the Battle of Taedong River-Pyongyang, the 83rd Division of the 42nd Army also completed the landing at Inchon and completed the encirclement of Seoul. 4,000 Russian troops and 130,000 Korean puppet troops were besieged in Seoul, and the Korean puppet king Yi Jilun was unwilling to lose his position as king and ordered to defend Seoul to the death.
At dawn on the 11th, the 83rd Division launched a heavy artillery bombardment of Seoul. In the rumbling cannonball, the Russian army and the Korean puppet army guarding Seoul saw for the first time the power of the artillery of the Chinese Empire. Especially under the blow of the 155-mm heavy howitzers of the Chinese Empire, the power of the 155-mm shells of the Black Sokin charge reached the destructive power of 180 shells, and the walls of Seoul fell into disrepair for a long time, and a large part collapsed in the first round of shelling.
The 83rd Division immediately adjusted the direction of attack, placed the main attack direction near the southern city where the city wall collapsed, and launched a fierce infantry charge.
The garrison Russian army and the Korean puppet army then mobilized a large number of troops to rush to the direction of Nancheng in an attempt to fill the gap in the city wall. However, under the fierce offensive of the 83rd Division, the defenders of Seoul suffered heavy casualties, and on the first day the Russian army served as the main defensive force, because the Russian army could not trust the combat effectiveness of the Korean puppet army.
However, after the first day of fighting, the Russian army lost more than 2,000 casualties, and the rest were all wounded, and the Russian army actually lost its combat effectiveness, so it had to use the Korean puppet army to defend the city.
The next day, the battle during the day was extremely fierce, and the poorly equipped Korean puppet army was no opponent, barely holding the city at the cost of more than 30,000 casualties.
The puppet king of North Korea, Li Jilun, was shocked, and if his army of 100,000 people continued to fight like this, it would be wiped out in less than a week. So Li Jilun summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, but before they could come up with countermeasures, that night, Xu Bangjie, the commander of the 83rd Division, secretly organized a death squad to prepare for a night attack on Seoul.
The death squad was composed of more than 200 front-line soldiers from various units under the jurisdiction of the 83rd Division, and Xu Bangjie selected 100 officers with rich combat experience to lead the soldiers to carry out a surprise attack. Xu Bangjie was originally going to lead the team in person, but was stopped by the adjutant, and in the end, the death squad of the officer corps was led by Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Naiyun, the commander of the 332nd Regiment.
"Remember! The fire of the artillery regiment will extend by 90 meters every three minutes, grasp the distance and time, otherwise you will be killed by your own shells, do you hear clearly? ”
"Understood!"
"Finally, ask again, if anyone wants to quit, bring it up quickly."
Zhang Naiyun looked at the more than 300 officers and soldiers of the death squad in front of him, there were many officers and soldiers he brought out, and they would die in this battle.
"It is our honor to do our best for the Empire! The regimental commander gives the order! We are all heroes, not seeds! ”
After a short period of silence, someone took the lead, and then everyone immediately responded eagerly, and no one wanted to quit.
"Well done! This is the true nature of the emperor's [***] people! ”
Zhang Naiyun paused, raised his rifle with one hand and pulled the bolt sharply, and the bullet was loaded.
"Brethren, the time has come to be loyal to the Empire, follow me."
"Phew!"
All the officers and men of the death squad responded loudly, and then went into action.
At 9:15 a.m., 54 artillery pieces and 36 mine-striking guns of the 83rd Division's artillery regiment were intensively used to carry out non-stop artillery strikes. The fierce artillery fire completely covered the gap area in the south of Seoul, and in the dark night, I saw a cloud of fiery mushrooms rising into the sky, and the earthquake trembled in an instant.
Under the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team, the enemy troops guarding the gap in the southern city did not dare to show their heads at all, and could only hide behind sandbag bunkers. The makeshift sandbag bunker could not withstand the bombardment of the 155-mm howitzer, and the violent blast wave instantly set off a flood of sand and buried the enemy in the bunker. The curved trajectory of the lightning cannon killed and injured the enemy behind the trenches and anti-slope bunkers in large numbers, leaving the enemy with nowhere to hide.
The heavy shelling continued for half an hour and did not stop, and the casualties of the Korean defenders soared, and the defenders had to order the defenders to withdraw first and wait until the shelling stopped.
When there were no North Korean soldiers fighting back at the gap, Zhang Naiyun led the death squad to quietly touch it.
Soon, when approaching the city wall for more than two hundred meters, the adjutant suggested stopping first.
"Captain, it's too close."
"Fifty meters further!"
Zhang Naiyun continued to move forward with his experience, and the officers at the front on both sides of him were officers, and each officer was well-trained, so the formation was always very neat. The spearmen in the back followed closely behind the officers in front, making small skirmisher maneuvers under the command of the officers.
At a distance of 150 meters, fragments of shells kept coming in, crackling on the steel helmet. Some of the shells had a large error and fell near the officers and men of the death squads, causing some casualties at once. The huge air wave of the explosion of the 155 howitzer roared, and the officers and soldiers of the death squad could only clasp the ground to death, but there were still a few people who were swept away by the air wave.
Zhang Naiyun just stared at his watch, and at 9:45, the artillery fire began to extend. According to the previous agreement, the artillery fire will extend ninety meters every three minutes thereafter.
The task of the death squad is to take advantage of the opportunity of the extension of artillery fire to rush forward, and the shells have a large error, and while hitting the enemy, they may also accidentally injure their own people. It is precisely because of this situation that the enemy does not think that the Chinese Emperor [***] team will charge, so they only care about dodging the shells and have no chance to be on guard.
Zhang Naiyun led the death squad to continue to move, and occasionally a cannonball missed its head and landed nearby, and some of the death squad personnel died because of this, but it could not stop them from continuing to move forward. Led by the officer corps, the death squads continued to maintain the same straggler line formation, braving artillery fire.
At 9:51, the gap was getting closer and closer, and the impact of the blast wave of the shell explosion on the death squad was increasing. But Zhang Naiyun knew that they were getting closer and closer to victory.
"Creeping forward!"
The massive blast of air grew stronger and stronger, forcing the death squads to crawl forward.
At 9:54 a.m., artillery fire extended into the city. At this time, Zhang Naiyun led the death squad less than thirty meters away from the gap. The blast wave of the explosion was mostly blocked by half of the city walls.
"Brothers, rush me!"
Zhang Naiyun gave an order, and the death squad suddenly changed from crawling forward to charging with a cat's waist.
At the same time, artillery fire extended into the city, and the enemy troops crawled out of the mound of dirt and prepared to return to their positions. Similarly, the main regiment of the 83rd Division launched a charge five hundred meters away.
"Grenade preparation, listen to my orders, delay for three seconds."
Zhang Naiyun quickly charged towards the enemy's position while taking out a grenade, and the other officers and soldiers of the death squad immediately understood and did so.
"Ready!"
Zhang Naiyun bit off the insurance in one bite, and everyone did the same.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Throw!"
Whoosh!
The officers and men of the death squad in the storm took advantage of the speed of the impact to throw the grenades in their hands at the enemy position.
As soon as the North Korean defenders jumped into the position, they saw grenades flying in the sky, and they subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the grenades exploded before they hit the ground.
"Boom!"
There are more than 300 grenades, and the power of each grenade is not much worse than that of 60 thunder guns, and these grenades basically explode in the air, and the lethality is much greater than that of exploding on the ground. And what frightened the North Korean defenders the most was that they simply did not have time to react.
In an instant, there were violent explosions at the gap, and the North Korean defenders who had just returned to their positions were suddenly blown to pieces of flesh and blood, and no one survived.
The position was empty all of a sudden, and the Korean puppet troops who came later thought that the Chinese Emperor [***] team had started shelling again, so they turned around and ran to the bunker.
But the next moment they found that the soldiers of the Chinese Empire had rushed up from the gap, and they were surprised and immediately turned around and came back.
"Hold your ground for three minutes, and we will be the heroes of the empire!"
Zhang Naiyun shouted loudly, jumped into the trench, and opened fire on the enemy with a gun. At the same time, other officers and soldiers of the death squad also rushed into the trenches and opened fire on the counterattacking Korean enemy troops.
The death squad thought that they would fight bayonets at close range with the North Korean puppet army, so most of them were spears, and they only carried two Browning heavy machine guns. One of them was out of brackets, and the bullets flew off, and it was unable to form a crossfire network with the heavy machine guns on the other side, so the enemy on one side fought back in large numbers.
The death squad tried their best to block, but there were too many enemies, although there were no heavy weapons similar to heavy machine guns, but one person and one shot, thousands of bullets per second came over, causing heavy casualties to the officers and men of the death squad. Moreover, the enemy knew the danger of losing the gap, so the enemy counterattacked with extraordinary ferocity, almost a fatal charge.
"Where's the stand?"
"It's gone!"
"Grab a sandbag and press it!"
The second heavy machine gun mount was raised high because of the lack of a bracket, and it basically could not hit the enemy. The reason was that the soldier who was in charge of holding the gun carriage was blown away by the shell, and the carriage could not be found. So, the secondary shooter pressed the gun with a sandbag to balance the muzzle of the high jump.
"Da Da Da!"
As the second heavy machine gun opened fire, it formed a crossfire network with the first heavy machine gun, and immediately suppressed the North Korean troops who were counterattacking. As a result, the death squads took control of their positions and shot thousands of Korean puppet soldiers in a matter of minutes, but also killed more than 100 people.
The remaining more than 100 officers and men of the death squad held out until the main force arrived, and as the main force rushed up, a large number of heavy machine guns and lightning guns joined the battle, and immediately killed the Korean puppet army that was trying to recapture the gap.
At 10:20, the Korean puppet army, which had lost the gap, could not stop the fierce attack of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team, and after dropping thousands of corpses, they had to retreat.
As soon as the city was broken, the last trace of the Korean puppet army's will to resist was also small. Subsequently, the Chinese Emperor [***] team launched a counter-charge, breaking the deadlock in one fell swoop, and the Korean puppet army completely collapsed.
When the puppet king of North Korea, Li Jilun, who was in session, learned that the city was broken, he immediately sat on the spot, and immediately couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly called guards to protect him and escape, even his wife and children.
That night, Seoul was in chaos, and the Chinese Emperor's [***] team was mixed with the remnants of the Russian army and the Korean puppet army, and the gunfire continued until noon the next day.
At dawn, Xu Bangjie had already entered the city and captured Seoul, which was equivalent to more than half of the end of the Korean War. It's a pity that the puppet king of North Korea ran away, but Xu Bangjie believes that the Korean War will end within a month, compared with the three-month plan to occupy North Korea formulated by the General Staff before, Xu Bangjie thinks that it is simply too overestimated for tens of thousands of Russian troops and hundreds of thousands of North Korean miscellaneous troops.
By the time Xu Bangjie occupied Seoul, the Second Front Army of the Chinese Empire had already captured the four areas of North Pyongan Province, Cigang Province, Lianggang Province, and North Hamgyong Province on the south bank of the Yalu River. However, the Third Front was advancing too quickly, as demonstrated by the fact that the two major Korean political cities of Pyongyang and Seoul were occupied by the Third Front.
Of course, this is mainly because the Third Front Army takes the sea route, and the navy controls the sea supremacy, so that the Third Front Army can land on the Korean Peninsula from anywhere, which means that the Third Front Army attacks much faster than the Second Front Army.
However, the Second Front also has a killer feature. The bicycle units of the Second Front Army had a far superior advantage over the cavalry in central Korea, and the various units used bicycles to chase and kill the Russian army and the Korean puppet army on a large scale.
Sibsky's troops were crossing the mountains and forests, planning to rush from Yangdeok to Wonsan. However, he soon discovered that the shadow of defeat was spreading like a plague among the Russian army, and the retreat soon became uncontrollable, with more and more equipment falling into the hands of the Chinese Emperor's [***] team.
But Sibsky still had illusions and continued to encourage his soldiers, and when they reached Wonsan, they would be safe.
However, when Sibersky woke up the next day, he found that many of his subordinates had begun to fall behind, intentionally or unintentionally, and then were either killed or taken prisoner by the pursuing Emperor of China.
Lacking food and water, and lacking men and horses, Sibsky led the remnants of his army from more than 4,000 men when he retreated, to 300 men, and by the time he reached the vicinity of Wonsan, there were less than 30 men.
At this time, Yuanshan had already been occupied by the Chinese Emperor [***], and there was a striking dragon flag floating on the city, while there was no trace of a battle on the city walls and in the surrounding area.
It is clear that the Russian army in Wonsan has long run out, and the remaining North Korean troops have surrendered on their own initiative.
"Damn, I shouldn't have believed these Goryeo sticks in the first place."
In order to save money, Russia implemented a puppet regime in Korea, and the Russians hoped to use Koreans to manage Koreans in order to strengthen Russia's rule over Korea.
But now it turns out that these North Koreans not only can't help, but even can't help.
Determined not to surrender, Sibersky led his thirty or so guards across the mountains and rivers all the way south, hoping to reach the Ulsan base, because he believed that the fortress would not fall so quickly. However, to his sorrow, the bicycle troops of the Chinese Empire were too fast, and wherever they went, the local Koreans immediately hung up the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire. What annoyed Sibsky the most was that the Korean army, which had once been inferior to the Russian army, had turned into the Imperial Allied Army of the Chinese Empire, and began to capture the remnants of the Russian army everywhere and help the Chinese Emperor [***] rule the place.
Soon, Sibsky's guards fell one by one, either starving to death, dying of illness, committing suicide, or being killed by the Chinese Emperor [***] or the Imperial Allied Army, and finally Sibersky was left alone in the mountains.
Soon after, Sibsky got lost in the mountains and became a savage, until many, many years later, when he wandered out of the mountains, he was immediately captured as a savage and studied.
On the 22nd, the Chinese Emperor [***] marched all the way, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the two major fronts swept across the Korean Peninsula, except for the fortress of Ulsan, all other areas were occupied. A total of more than 23,000 Russian troops were eliminated, more than 2,000 were captured, more than 170,000 Korean puppet troops were eliminated, and more than 200,000 were captured.
The offensive of the Chinese Emperor [***] on the Korean Peninsula shocked the world, although the army of the Qing Emperor [***] was also driven out of the Korean Peninsula in a short period of time seven years ago, but now the opponents are the Chinese Empire, the former is a former loser, and the latter is a powerful European power with great influence. It is really incomprehensible that a European power was beaten by the Chinese Emperor [***] team in such a short period of time.
An American journalist in North Korea wrote in his memoirs: "The troops of the Chinese Empire could closely chase the retreating Russian [***] team and the North Korean troops on bicycles, and they were in a row of three, talking and laughing, as if they were going to watch a football game." Hundreds of wheels converged into a noisy group, and the retreating Russian and North Korean troops were terrified, believing that demons and monsters were chasing them. Often, a company of soldiers of the Chinese Empire pulled out a regimental battle line, and a few soldiers planted a flag of the Chinese Empire on the county town and announced its occupation, and the thousands of Korean troops in the city did not object to this. ”
A British military observer in the Emperor of China [***] wrote in his marching notes: "I don't know what the situation is on other battlefields, I only know that on the Korean battlefield, the Russian army and the Korean puppet army were driven by the Chinese Emperor [***] like rabbits to run wildly." They ran crazy in front, and the Chinese emperor [***] in the back chased crazy, and a company of Chinese Imperial soldiers dared to pull out a regimental battle line, but the Russian army and the Korean puppet army in front did not dare to turn back and strike, so that when they couldn't run and were ready to fight back, they found that they were too tired to have the strength to surrender. ”
Following the capture of Seoul by Xu Bangjie's 83rd Division, the landing operation of the Third Front Army of the Chinese Empire at Busan also progressed smoothly. The Russian army knew that its strength was insufficient, so it withdrew all the surrounding troops into the Ulsan fortress, intending to rely on the Ulsan fortress for final resistance.
On the 12th, the 47th Army and the 52nd Army of the Third Front Army marched towards Ulsan from the two directions of Busan and Pohang respectively, and completely surrounded the Ulsan fortress on the 14th.
