Chapter 594: Seoul Uprising
"Uh......h Woo......"
The sharp and sharp air raid sirens sounded over Seoul, and everyone rushed to the bomb shelters, since the beginning of the war, China has continued to attack Seoul, and after the ground war began, the air raids became more violent, and the sirens had to be pulled several times a day, and the common people gradually got used to it.
As soon as they heard the siren, they would immediately run to the air-raid shelters, but the air defense facilities in Seoul were limited, so naturally they had to give priority to the Japanese, and the other second-class people could only rank behind the Japanese, and the number of Japanese expatriates was less than 10% of the Koreans, but they occupied 60% of the air-raid shelters.
Only forty percent of them were left to the South Koreans, who had to huddle into small, suffocating bomb shelters, people sticking to people, people crowding people, like canned sardines, without a single gap.
Because the number of people far exceeds the carrying capacity of the bomb shelter, the air in the bomb shelter is seriously lacking in oxygen, the air is turbid, and the time is good, if it is long, it is likely to cause serious casualties, especially as Japan gradually loses air supremacy, Chinese planes hover over Seoul for longer and longer, and these people have to stay in the bomb shelter for a longer time.
Just the day before, more than 200 South Koreans had died due to suffocation and stampede, and today, Chinese bombers have attacked again, and many South Koreans have become more and more repulsed by the bomb shelters, and many of them would rather stay at home and wait for God's arrangement than run to the bomb shelters to suffer.
However, the Japanese side has strict air defense regulations, and it is absolutely impossible to follow the thoughts of the South Koreans, and when they are about to be driven into the air-raid shelter, just as the gate is closed, the Chinese planes have already reached the sky over Seoul.
A dozen or so planes rose into the air to intercept them, but they were quickly killed by the escorting fighters, and the factory area in South Korea was not exactly the same as the Japanese layout. Their enterprise is a large-scale factory planned and established in Japan. There are no small workshops around. Therefore, it is better to use high-explosive bombs when bombing.
The previous rounds of Chinese bombing had already destroyed most of the factory area in Seoul, but this time China dispatched more than 100 bombers, in addition to the factory area, residential areas have also become the focus of attention, and the Chinese side has also dropped a large number of napalm.
Whistling bombs fell to the ground. Splashing with flames, Seoul was soon shrouded in flames, and the power of napalm has been proven again and again on the battlefield, and the killing effect is amazing. Especially for ordinary civilian targets, it is even more accurate, and a bomb can often destroy a street.
Large swathes of the community were reduced to nothing in the bombing, flames enveloped the entire city, and the Chinese pilots left the skies over Seoul with satisfaction as they saw most of the city destroyed.
But the devastation they caused was far from over, and the trembling Koreans came out of the bomb shelter and saw their homes engulfed in flames, and the sadness in their hearts was indescribable. The Sino-Japanese war, but the Koreans suffered. Their homes have been destroyed, and how can they survive?
At this time, suddenly some people let out an astonishing shout, and everyone looked over there, it turned out that the door of an air-raid shelter had not been opened, and several Koreans had the courage to open the air-raid shelter, but the scene that greeted them was completely stunned.
I saw tens of thousands of people lying inside, densely turned, although many people died, but their bodies had no place to fall, and they still maintained the posture of the last moment of their lives. These people's lips were purple, and their hands were stretched upward, as if they were begging for something, and the lives of tens of thousands of people were frozen at this moment!
The hearts of the people who saw this scene were broken for a while, they knew very well that these people were suffocated to death, the small air-raid shelter, the air could not support the needs of so many people at all, they were suffocated to death.
No living South Korean could stop crying, not only for their dead compatriots, but also for themselves, because they knew very well that if the war went on like this, it would not be long before they would die a miserable and desolate death like these compatriots, and they were weeping bitterly about their future.
Many South Koreans are relatives of those who have died, and they are desperate to get their loved ones out of bomb shelters.
At this time, a team of Japanese military police rushed over, and immediately dispersed the Koreans from the hole, their movements were very violent, and they kept smashing the Koreans who were unwilling to leave with the butt of the gun, and an old Korean lady was smashed to the ground with the butt of the gun, and Yin Hong's blood flowed out of her head.
The afterimage made everyone sad and angry, and the barbarism of the Japanese made the blood in the bones of the Koreans overflow. Japan has colonized Korea for many years, but this colony is the most difficult to manage, and various assassinations have occurred one after another, and the notorious Ito Hirobumi died at the hands of the Koreans.
When Japanese officials were sent to Korea to serve as officials, they all had sad faces, and if they were sent to Taiwan, they would be beaming, which shows that it is still very troublesome to govern the Koreans.
The scene in front of him completely angered the Koreans, and a young man suddenly grabbed a shovel and rushed to the front of the Japanese military police in a few arrows, while the military police were still driving away the crowd, and they were not on guard at all, and a shovel happened to slash at the neck of the Japanese military police captain, who beat people the most fiercely.
Suddenly the blood was shining, the body of the Japanese gendarme twisted, and then fell softly, and the other Japanese gendarmes saw that their companions were dead, and they did not hesitate to shoot, and the Korean youth was beaten into a sieve.
The blood once again stimulated the Koreans, their endurance had reached the limit, and soon dozens of Korean youths took the lead, picked up all the weapons they could use, and rushed towards the Japanese military police frantically, and the Japanese were not polite, and began to shoot these Koreans frantically, without mercy.
Corpses fell on the icy road, blood stained the land of Seoul, and the Japanese once again showed the Koreans what it means to be brutal, slaughtering more than 1,300 people at once, and throwing the corpses of these Koreans into bomb shelters, piling them up with those who had suffocated to death, and then sealing the holes with cement.
"Commander-in-chief, our army is progressing well, congratulations!" This time, Deng Xihou, as the chief of staff of Shi Yi, commanded the battle together, and the Chinese army, with its strong combat effectiveness, had already penetrated the Japanese defense line more than ten kilometers deep.
"The start was good, but the Japanese were still very tenacious, and it was 40 kilometers from the military demarcation line to Seoul, and this section of the road was full of Japanese fortifications, and it was not easy to break through. And after we reach Seoul, there will be street battles waiting for us, and the president has repeatedly reminded us to avoid street battles as much as possible, which is the easiest time to lose troops. ”
Shi Yi said well, Qiao Yu has always had a sense of fear of street fighting, how powerful the German army is, but in Stalingrad it is still a halberd and sinking into the sand, street fighting is a pure war of attrition, no heavy equipment is useless, can only rely on guns and flamethrowers and other light weapons.
The battle for a street and a building, in which the casualties are incalculable, Qiao Yu does not want the Chinese army to die on the Korean battlefield before it reaches the Japanese mainland.
"Commander-in-chief, I have good news for you, you won't have to worry when you know it!" Deng Xihou said and sent a letter to Shi Yi: "This is a letter sent by Jin Jiu, the letter is written by the resistance organization in Seoul, they are willing to cooperate with our army's action, as long as our army fights outside the city, they will launch an uprising, cooperate with our actions, and seize the entire Seoul in one fell swoop." ”
Deng Xihou said this, and his face also showed joy: "The most important thing in street fighting is that the army and the people are united, and they are working together. Now that the Japanese army and the Korean people are separated from Germany, can they still be united? I think the capture of Seoul is just around the corner! ”
Shi Yi took the letter and read it several times, the other party's posture was very low, and the paper was full of pleading, after Shi Yi saw this, his heart was also happy, the fortress was breached from the inside, and now with the cooperation of the Koreans, the hope of breaking through Seoul has greatly increased.
"Lao Deng, the resistance group of the Koreans can be used, but we have to think carefully about how to use it, we can't make trouble for the president!"
As soon as Shi Yi said this, Deng Xihou was suddenly a little confused, this is obviously a good thing, how can it become a trouble!
"It's not that I said you, you are so shrewd in the matter of marching and fighting, why can't you see through the president's thoughts, although the Korean resistance organizations can help us deal with the Japanese, but they represent the national strength of Korea, and they will also be a big problem for China in the future!"
Although Deng Xihou is known as the crystal monkey, he is shrewd and sleek to the peak, but he is slightly lacking in strategy, which is why Qiao Yu asked him to be Shi Yi's assistant. It is true that China wants to defeat Japan, and China does not need a North Korea that is out of control, so Korean nationalists are also within China's reach.
"The commander-in-chief is right, you mean that we don't support the Korean uprising anymore?"
"Support is still to support, and money to money, guns to guns, we must let them start, but when the time comes, we can't cooperate!"
This is just a matter of thinking, everyone thought that China would not let go of the opportunity to capture Seoul, but Shi Yi just gave up, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to destroy the Korean resistance with the hands of Holiday himself.
This kind of seemingly despicable thing is not without precedent in history, when the Soviet Union liberated Warsaw, it did this, tricking the resistance organizations in Warsaw into launching an uprising, and then the Soviets did not move, and the Poles waited for the Soviet Union's reinforcements to cooperate, who knew that the Soviet Union did not care about them at all, and waited until the Germans completely eliminated the Polish resistance organizations, and the Soviets waved their troops to capture Warsaw.
Deng Xihou pondered Shi Yi's words carefully, "The commander-in-chief's method is indeed clever, but this notoriety is about to be borne!" ”
"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune!" (To be continued.) )
