Chapter 1111: Straight to Busan

The vanguard troops like Wang Erbao arrived on the north bank of the Han River one after another, but because most of the bridges and ships along the river were destroyed, they were temporarily unable to cross the river and head south. So he found a rallying point in Jiangbei and was scheduled to be on standby.

After Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, and others learned of this situation, they immediately instructed the troops behind to collect all kinds of river-crossing boats along the way, and at the same time ordered the logistics baggage troops to rush to the banks of the Han River with more rubber boats and bridge-building equipment.

Three days later, the follow-up troops arrived with a large number of large and small boats and rubber boats, and more than 5,000 infantry including Wang Erbao began to cross the Han River under the cover of their own artillery fire.

The Japanese army was no longer able to hold the entire Han River defense line, and there were only some puppet troops left on the south bank as a symbolic garrison, which was suppressed by the combined attack of the fierce ground and air fire of the Dragon's Tooth Corps.

After a charge, the puppet army of the stick was either killed or wounded, or surrendered, and only a few took advantage of the chaos to flee south to Seoul.

Subsequently, the ships successively transported all the more than 30,000 soldiers of the First Division across the river, and the acting division commander Li Mingshan waved his hand and led 30,000 soldiers to advance to Seoul and surround Seoul as quickly as possible!

The Japanese troops in the city had already fled, leaving only tens of thousands of puppet soldiers and gendarmerie police, who did not even have the courage to resist, so they opened the city gate and surrendered to the Dragon's Tooth Corps. The Dragon's Tooth Corps was able to take the Han River, an important city in southern Goryeo, almost without bloodshed.

After capturing the Han River, the troops continued to advance southward, sweeping the entire Southern Dynasty and Xian like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. It took less than a week to reach Busan, and at this time, Taka Sato committed suicide in shame in the continuous defeat, and the other devils suffered heavy casualties.

The remaining devil expatriates, merchants, and remnants of the army crossed the sea by boat from Busan and other places, and withdrew to the Japanese mainland of Kyushu.

On the way, the fighters of the Dragon's Tooth Corps appeared in time and carried out a ferocious bombardment of the devil ships retreating to the Tsushima Strait, sinking many enemy ships, and many devils did not retreat to Kyushu Island alive and died in the belly of the fish.

So far, the Dragon's Tooth Corps has occupied the Goryeo Peninsula, annihilating more than 50,000 Japanese troops and more than 100,000 puppet troops, and regaining China's control over the Goryeo Peninsula.

After capturing the Goryeo Peninsula, Qiao Youhua ordered the troops in various places to sweep away the remnants of the stubborn enemies and bandits in various places as soon as possible, and strive to completely pacify the peninsula as soon as possible, so that normal order can be restored there, especially in the Han River valley and other places in the South Peninsula, the land is fertile and can produce various crops.

At the same time, the iron ore and other resources of the North Peninsula are also very rich, and only when the Goryeo Peninsula returns to normal production order and is firmly controlled in our hands, these materials can be used by us and continuously transported back to China to support the industrial and military infrastructure construction in China, especially in the Northeast region.

Qiao Tianyou took a plane and rushed to Seoul, and met with Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao and others, the reason for this meeting was very simple, that is, to discuss the matter of garrisoning troops in Goryeo, although the Goryeo Peninsula is a subject country of China, but after all, it is not its own land, and it is impossible to be garrisoned by the Dragon Tooth Corps, which is too much waste of the precious troops of the Dragon Tooth Corps.

Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize the captured puppet army of hundreds of thousands of sticks and support a pro-China puppet regime.

Of course, it is necessary to set up a military base on the Goryeo Peninsula and station a certain number of troops in case the Japanese army or Lao Maozi invade again.

Just like the U.S. military in later generations, the difference is that the entire Goryeo Peninsula has now become the absolute sphere of influence of the Chinese nation and is under the absolute control of the Chinese army.

Moreover, in the future, if we want to regain by force from Lao Maozi the millions of square kilometers of our inherent territory in Northeast Asia, such as Outer Mongolia and Vladivostok, Sakhalin, and Eastern Siberia, the Goryeo Peninsula will be a good base and springboard for advancement.

On the second floor of a temporarily requisitioned western-style building, in a spacious and bright conference room, senior generals of two columns, including Qiao Youhua, Jiang Haidong, Wu Ming, Liu Yidao, and Zhao Youde, gathered together.

Outside this western-style building, the guards and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

Even the corridor on the second floor was full of burly soldiers.

In the conference room, Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and said to everyone: "What are your views and thoughts on the garrison in Korea, tell it, let's listen to it, and let's discuss!" ”

"Do the heads of the headquarters and the commanders of Yan'an have any instructions?" Jiang Haidong asked.

"Chairman Mao instructed, let us discuss it ourselves! After all, the one left behind on the Goryeo Peninsula must be an elite of our Dragon's Tooth Corps, otherwise it is not enough to deter the Japanese army and Lao Maozi, once the Japanese counterattack, this left-behind army must be able to resist the enemy outside the country! And hold on until domestic reinforcements arrive! Qiao Youhua said.

"In that case, let's leave 100,000 people behind!" Jiang Haidong said.

"Tell me your reasons! Why leave 100,000 people behind? Qiao Youhua asked.

"The reason is very simple, the coastline of the Goryeo Peninsula is very long, especially the South Peninsula, and it is across the sea from the Kyushu Island of the little devils, so there are fewer troops left, which is not enough to ensure the safety of the Goryeo Peninsula!" Jiang Haidong expressed his opinion.

"We can adapt some stick puppet army! to bolster the peninsula's defenses! Zhao Youde put forward his own opinion.

, Liu Yidao immediately retorted: "Deputy Commander Zhou's words are wrong, the rabble of the stick puppet army can be of great use??" In my opinion, it is purely a waste of food and military salaries, and they are all disbanded and sent home to farm, or they are dragged to the northeast to be laborers, and they can be mined for us and farmed as workers! ”

Jiang Haidong said: "I can't say that, the stick puppet army also has people who can bear hardships and stand hard work, dare to die and dare to fight, the Goryeo Peninsula was conquered by the devils by force and became a colony of the Japanese, they were all broken and succumbed to the devil's iron horse, we called under the banner of rescue, and the devils were defeated like a mountain, they naturally had no intention of resisting, like a plate of scattered sand."

Now that we help them rebuild their homes, protect their relatives, and ensure that they can have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, and a better life in the future, they will naturally sincerely support and cooperate with us to defend the entire peninsula.

Besides, many trivial tasks such as maintaining local law and order cannot be completed entirely by our Chinese soldiers, so even if we leave 300,000 troops behind, it will not be enough! It is more convenient to use a stick puppet army, and it will save a lot of trouble! ”

Wu Ming nodded, agreed with Jiang Haidong's words, and then said: "However, Deputy Commander Zhou's words have reminded me that now the Goryeo Peninsula has been oppressed by devils for a long time, and the people are living in dire straits, and there are many people who are not clothed and hungry, so we can take this opportunity to get a large number of cheap laborers to go back to help us farm and mine!" We have millions of square kilometers in the northeast, and the land is fertile, but the only thing we lack is manpower! ”
