"Alone in the ...... How is this possible?" Li Fanzao was stunned for a moment, staring at the mountainous area west of Wonsan on the map. The terrain in this area is more open than the east coast coastal road that the Japanese armored forces are now leading to Guò, but it can accommodate a large army for a decisive battle. "Shi Gong, what do you mean...... The Japanese want to fight us in the mountains west of Wonsan and east of Pyongyang?"

Peng Dhuai glanced at him, nodded appreciatively, and continued: "The Japanese army is 60,000 to 70,000, and the Korean army is 250,000 to 300,000, what are our chances of winning?"

"It's gambling!" Li Fanzao pondered: "The total strength of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula must be more than 1 million, and the real combat effectiveness of our army is 500,000 to 600,000 at most, and ...... The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has always been stronger than that of the South Korean army, and the ratio of combat power should be 2:1, which means that the Japanese army invested in the Korean Peninsula is equivalent to 2 million South Korean troops, which is four times that of ours. The 60,000 to 70,000 lone Japanese troops are equivalent to 240,000 to 280,000 Korean troops, and even if we use 300,000 people to fight a decisive battle, we will only be evenly matched. Even if it can win, it will not be able to defeat the other side in a day or two, and if the main Japanese army breaks through the defense line of Pyongsan and Shariwon during this period of time and advances to the city of Pyongyang, what will Pyongyang do?"

"Then the squadron will drive across the Yalu River to intervene in the Korean War!" Peng Dhuai said with great certainty.

"But Premier Chang said that he wanted us to ......"

Peng Dhuai looked at Li Fanzao's skeptical expression and said with a smile: "When the battle of Tongchuan is over, Premier Chang's opinion will change." Now the sharp weapon that the Soviet Red Army relies on is their tank army, if the Japanese tank division established in imitation of the Soviet tank army is defeated by your Korean anti-tank special forces and armored corps, then what confidence does the Soviet tank army have to attack Manchuria and Mongolia? We have dozens of Panzergrenadier divisions with very strong anti-tank firepower! ”

But Li Fanzao's worries are not here, and he now believes that the Chinese premier will not really die without help, but at what cost? The independence of the Republic of Korea is the price of the Chinese sending troops to the rescue! Now Peng Dhuai is going to use South Korea's national fortune to gamble. If he wins, he is a famous general who uses soldiers like a god, and the military ranks of generals and marshals are in the bag sooner or later, and if he loses, he will retire early at most, and it is South Korea that is really unlucky......

But Li Fanzheng didn't dare to disobey Emperor Peng's wishes, and the only way was probably to ask Chi Daheng's "godsister" to blow the wind next to Chang Ruiqing's pillow. He just thought of this. Peng Dhuai began to give orders: "Order the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Armies to assemble and stand by, the defense of Pyongyang is temporarily under the responsibility of the Sixth and Seventh Armies, the Eighth Army is stationed in Shariwon, the Tenth Army reinforces Pyongsan, the 33rd Division of the 11th Army is deployed in Gusan, and the 32nd Division is deployed in Mazhanri.

The 1st Division of the South Korean Advance Army and the Armored Corps Corps were ordered to abandon Tongchon and retreat to Wonsan by noon tomorrow. Other than that. The 1st Division of the South Korean Advance Army was temporarily incorporated into the Shousan Detachment, under the unified command of General Hu Zongnan. ”

At the same time that Peng Dhuai adjusted his deployment on a large scale, the fighting between the Japanese and South Korean armies in Tongchuan became white-hot. After two wings of the 2nd Division joined the attack, the defenses of the 1st Division of the South Korean Advance Army were soon overwhelmed, and the hills on both sides of the coastal road were captured by the Japanese in the early morning of 9 June. The North Korean defenders retreated to their positions outside the city of Tongcheon.

At this time, more than a dozen T-28 tanks that had been "thrown" on the side of the road had already driven up, and seeing that the terrain outside Tongchuan City was relatively open, Vlasov Jian Yì launched a coordinated charge of tanks and infantry to drive the North Korean army into Tongchuan City, and then called the battleships at sea to raze Tongchuan City to the ground with huge cannons.

At 3 a.m. on June 9, a coordinated Japanese offensive began, on a narrow frontage of less than 3 km. More than 3,000 Japanese troops, nearly 100 tanks are surging! The T-28 tank rushed to the front, rushed to the front of the anti-tank trench at full speed, and then shelled the ROK positions on the spot. Behind these T-28s were a phalanx of T-26s and T-18s, along with more than 3,000 infantry accompanying the tank attack, and dozens of armored vehicles loaded with bundles of logs.

"Anti-tank guns, fire!" Jiang Xianyun, who was squatting in the trench to watch the battle, saw the huge T-28 parked on the opposite side of the anti-tank trench. Immediately, he excitedly grabbed the microphone and gave the order loudly. 10 long-awaited 45mm anti-tank guns began to roar almost at the same time! Raindrops of 45mm armor-piercing shells generally fell on the body of the T-28 tank. The thin armor became the Achilles' heel, and tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells easily pierced the T-28's frontal armor, whether it was the 30mm steel plate above the body, the 20mm steel plate under the body, or the 50mm steel plate on the front of the turret.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After a series of loud bangs. The battlefield was obscured by the smoke of gunpowder. More than a dozen T-28 tanks were all hit by bullets and caught fire, burning like a dozen torches on the battlefield!

This scene made the Japanese infantry who accompanied the tank charge collectively crazy, these powerful tanks turned out to be waste! It is completely a live target for the anti-tank fire of the South Korean army, and it is not as good as the infantry's Banzai assault! "Onboard! Attack, avenge the tank! Enraged, the Japanese infantry screamed and charged.

However, dozens of South Korean A-type tanks appeared behind the South Korean positions, 37mm guns and 6.5mm machine guns fired wildly, and 45mm anti-tank guns deployed in the anti-tank stronghold desperately fired at the T-26 and T-18 behind the Japanese T-28 tanks.

"Boom ......" explosion, fire, smoke! One after another, T-26 and T-18 tanks were pierced by armor-piercing shells, either exploding or catching fire. The steel twisted and disintegrated in the scorching flames and huge explosions, and occasionally some lucky Japanese tank crews rushed out, also burning all over their bodies, screaming and rolling on the ground, the scene was very miserable!

Slaughter! It's a massacre!

In less than 30 minutes from the start of the tank attack, these steel behemoths with high hopes from Trotsky and Takeda Heng were beaten into piles of burning scrap metal by the anti-tank weapons of the South Korean army.

"Fire, fire! Destroy all your enemies with artillery! ”

In desperation. The commander of the tank division, Yoshida Ho, had no choice but to once again sacrifice the Japanese Army's housekeeping skills - artillery and infantry coordination, using artillery and infantry to open the way for the tanks to advance......

When Jiro Tamen received a telegram from Yoshida, he was so angry that he almost tore the telegram to shreds on the spot, the tank troops, which were regarded as the hope of the rise of the Japanese Army before the war, were really waste! More than eighty tanks were lost in just one offensive, including eighteen valuable T-28s! If you count the more than a hundred tanks that broke down along the way. In just over a day after the start of the battle, less than 60 tanks were left to move, and this was when the infantry risked their lives to open the attack channel for the tanks!

"Comrade Advisor, after the defeat of Tongchuan, it is better to withdraw the 1st Tank Division and let the 2nd Division fight the vanguard!" Jiro Tamen said with a dejected face. Although frustrated. But he still had no doubts about the capture of Tongchuan, after all, the Japanese infantry and artillery infantry were still very reliable.

"If the North Korean army abandons the city, let the tank units pursue it! I don't think this setback should be a complete rejection of tank forces. Chuikov frowned and comforted Domen Jiro and said: "Comrade Domen, a small setback does not mean anything, no, such a setback is still beneficial to the world revolution. At least we found the shortcomings of the T-28 tank. Now that we know the shortcomings, we can make targeted improvements...... It seems that the T-28 tank needs stronger armor, better suspension and a more reliable engine. ”

"Wouldn't that mean a new tank would have to be redesigned?" Domen Jiro muttered and shook his head: "Comrade Advisor, in my opinion, it is more appropriate to disperse tanks into infantry divisions to cover infantry attacks, and there should be no production of such a large and useless waste as the T-28, it is enough to have a light tank like the T-26."

Chuikov shook his head slightly, and just as he was about to explain, a war horse ridden by a communicator galloped from the front. Stopped next to the car of Chuikov and Jiro Tamen, and immediately jumped out of a young correspondent and handed a telegram to Jiro Tamen.

"Good news from the head of the Yoshida Division."

Hearing the word good news, Duomen's face suddenly looked much better, and when he took the telegram and looked at it, he laughed: "The second division is worthy of being my emperor...... The elite of the Red Army captured the defensive position of the South Korean army outside Tongchuan City in just two charges+ The army has abandoned the city and fled after blowing up all the anti-tank guns! Tongchuan has been captured by us! ”

Chuikov let out a sigh of relief and raised his wrist to look at the time, it was only about 10:30 a.m. on June 9, just over 30 hours before the war began. The mecha army has already broken through the second line of defense of the South Korean army, and it seems that the tactics of large-depth assault are still very successful.

"Let the 1st Tank Division pursue, but don't attack Wonsan." Chuikov paused and asked Duomen: "I heard that there are 240mm shore defense guns in Wonsan Port, can the Japanese Red Navy deal with them?"

"Of course!" Duomen smiled: "I'll send a power generation to the United Fleet and ask them to raze Wonsan to the ground!"

……

It is 15 kilometers north of Tongchuan. 108 45mm anti-tank guns, camouflaged with camouflage nets covered with leaves, were quietly hiding on the hillsides on both sides of the road. Nine battalions of anti-tank fighters had been waiting here for more than 10 hours, and if it weren't for the communication corps Tongguò radio station and the armored corps corps that had left Tongchuan in advance, the soldiers would almost have suspected that the Japanese army would not want to go north to Wonsan.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the General Corps of the Panzer Corps said that the enemy has taken the bait, there are more than 100 tanks and thousands of infantry in pursuit of them. They also said that in the battles last night and in the early hours of this morning, they destroyed hundreds of Japanese tanks, including 20 T-28s, and lost 5 tanks and 12 45mm anti-tank guns, and suffered 126 casualties. ”

"Got it, let the Panzer Corps lure the enemy over!" Hu Zongnan did not seem to be surprised at all by the achievements of the armored corps, and after giving an order, he picked up the telescope again and looked at the road down the hillside. It didn't take long for a large group of North Korean infantry to come into view, most of whom were bare-handed, and should have retreated from Tongcheon.

"Wu Ting, come here." Hu Zongnan put down his binoculars and called the man named Jin Wuting to him, "You hurry up and stop those infantry, let them assemble 3 kilometers north of our ambush position, ready to counterattack at any time!" ”

"Fight back? They don't even seem to have weapons. Jin Wuting was stunned. Reminder.

"No problem, it's good to bluff, if we can bluff the Japanese devils back, our cannons will be saved!"

At this time, Vlasov, who had served as a tank brigade commander in the Soviet Red Army, just had a little feeling of "big deep assault". He was sitting in a wheeled armored command vehicle and shouted in Russian: "Comrades, chase after you!" The Korean imperialists have already failed, and we can destroy them all if we work harder! ”

Wu Tengzhang, a Russian translator and senior staff officer of the First Tank Division, who was sitting next to him, said in a slightly mocking tone: "Comrade adviser, let's take it easy, if a T-28 breaks down again, it will block us in the middle of the road." Let the Korean imperialists go! ”

Vlasov glared at his translator, who was very incapable of speaking and a little reactionary in his thinking, and said coldly: "Comrade Muto! The T-28 was the first heavy tank in the world, and the USSR was the only country in the world that so far mastered the technology of heavy tank production, and with the lessons of the T-28, it would not be long. We're going to be able to make better and more advanced heavy tanks, you understand?"

Muto Zhang sneered, nodded reluctantly, and just wanted to say a few clichés to promote friendship between Japan and the Soviet Union, when he heard someone shouting: "There is an ambush!" Enemy attack! Before he and Vlasov could react, they heard a loud bang, and a T-26 tank rushing ahead suddenly turned into a ball of fire. The armored car in which Vlasov and Akira Muto were riding slammed into a brake. Stopped moving forward. At this moment, another loud bang was heard, this time it was a T-28 tank behind the Japanese convoy.

"Oops! We're stuck in traffic! "Vlasov was the first to react, shouting and jumping out of the armored car." The enemy is lying in ambush on the top of the hillside, open fire and hit the top of the hillside on both sides! Organize an infantry charge and wipe out all these damned Korean imperialists! ”

However, his Russian language was not understood by few Japanese officers and soldiers, and the Japanese troops who were suddenly attacked were also filial piety for a while, and the infantry accompanying the tanks still played normally, and immediately lay down on the spot or relied on the tanks to start resisting, but the tank crews driving the T-28 and T-26 were a little unable to find the north. They leaned out of the tank to find out what was going on. It turned out that most of these tanks did not have radio stations, and the noise in the car was too loud, which muffled the sound of the explosion, so the Japanese tank crew who was stuffed in the car did not know that they had been ambushed. I thought another tank had broken down in front.

The Japanese tanks below the hill had not reacted for a while, and the anti-tank rangers in ambush on the hillside were very nimble, and one after another shiny 45mm armor-piercing shells were filled into the gun chamber, and then spat out from the thin and long barrels, flying towards the Japanese convoy below the mountain at a very fast speed.

"Boom DD......"

108 45mm anti-tank guns fired at the same time, this time attacking the flank of the Japanese tank, so all the shots were cheap steel-core armor-piercing shells. However, every Japanese tank that was hit still could not escape the doom of turning into a pile of scrap metal. The most miserable thing is still those T-28, the huge size is the live target of the South Korean anti-tank gun, the thin flank armor is as vulnerable as paper paste in front of the 45mm armor-piercing projectile, in just a few tens of seconds, all the T-28 are full of smoke, their powerful 76.2mm main gun, before they have time to fire a shell, it will be completely scrapped!

However, the Japanese tank crews were still well-trained in the end, and just after two rounds of shelling by the South Korean army, the dozens of T-18 and T-26 tanks that survived turned their turrets to find targets and fired back. At the same time, the Japanese infantry, accompanied by the tanks, also set up mortars and began to bombard the hillside. Others simply carried Type 38 rifles with bayonets on them and launched a white-knuckle assault on the hillside. However, the South Korean army had also been prepared, and more than a dozen water-cooled machine guns had already been erected, aiming at the target at the bottom of the mountain, and began to spray tongues of fire to knock down the charging Japanese infantry in rows.

"Tanks! Cover the infantry charge with tanks! Vlasov saw that the slopes on both sides were not steep and that the T-18 and T-26 tanks could fully rush up, so he gave a loud order. However, no one could understand his Russian in the midst of the chaos, but the Japanese officers, who had calmed down, quickly gave the same order, and a dozen tanks that had not yet been destroyed roared again, ready to storm the slopes on both sides. But at this moment, the roar of the motor and the shouting of killing in Korean suddenly sounded in the north of the battlefield!

"Resist, resist! Reinforcements will be there soon! Seeing this scene, Vlasov was so anxious that he shouted and looked around to find his translator, Muto Akira.

"Comrade Vlasov, come here, it's safe here!" The familiar Russian voice came from under a damaged T-28 tank, and Vlasov looked at it to see that his interpreter had found himself a very safe "hideout", just below the tank's territory.

Bullets and shells on the battlefield do not have long eyes, and the lives of GCIST fighters are undoubtedly very precious, so Comrade Vlasov did not hesitate to drill the bottom of the tank at this time.

"If you can withstand it, don't worry, comrade advisor, our infantry is very reliable, and the North Korean army can't beat them." Seeing Vlasov come in, Muto Akira sighed and reassured the Soviet friend with a smile. "A small setback can't frighten the GC fighters, and with the lessons of this time, we will definitely be able to design and build stronger, more reliable, and more powerful tanks, Comrade Advisor, don't you think?"
