"Yugong, Chushan has retreated again!" Jiang Peiyuan, chief of staff of the Ninth Group Army, put down the phone and shouted, Jiang Peiyuan's character is too harmonious, he graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu and the fifth phase of Lu University, and now he is the chief of staff of the major general of the group army, and he is quite good among the graduates of the fourth phase of Huangpu.

“c***！ Will Liu Guangtou fight in the end! It's the White Russian soldiers again (the nickname given to the Central Asian division by the Wehrmacht officers) and the assault guns, and they can't beat it after four hits! Guan Linzheng grabbed the phone and wanted to call the military headquarters of the 52nd Army: "Liu Liangsheng, can your 52nd Army fight?" If you can't fight, me out! Don't embarrass us Shaanxi people here! After scolding, Guan Linzheng dropped the telephone and turned around in the war room, Jiang Peiyuan shook his head slightly, the Japanese have been working the other side of the Yalu River for 8 years, and they have long built a continuous and large defense system in depth, and after the anti-Soviet war and the Western European campaign, they have targeted to strengthen the anti-tank warfare capability of the defense line, and it is completely normal for the 52nd Army to hit a nail on the strong defense line of others.

"I'll go to the front and keep an eye on it, Taihe, I'll leave it to you here." Guan Linzheng stood still, grabbed a steel helmet and put it on his head and was about to go out, Jiang Peiyuan grabbed him and reminded: "Yugong, Commander Liu is a well-known fierce general in the National Defense Army, and now he must have 120,000 points of strength to attack, but you can't rush to fight this kind of strong defense line, you can only grind it slowly, otherwise you will suffer a big loss." ”

Jiang Peiyuan pulled Guan Linzheng to the front of the map. "Yugong, please look," he pointed to the line of Jinchengli on the west side of Chu Mountain, which is close to the Zhongman River, and due to the cold weather, the surface of the Zhongman River has also been frozen, and the river beaches on both sides have formed an open area that is not too big or small, and even the Yalu River, which is also frozen. The 52nd Division of the 104th Army has broken through the perimeter of Jinchengli and occupied a large position on the south bank of the Yalu River, and is currently storming Jinchengli.

"Little Japan's main attention is focused on the front of Chushan, ignoring Jinchengli and Zhongmanjiang, that line originally had no road for the army to pass, so the military value is not high, but now that Zhongmanjiang is frozen, isn't it just convenient for our mechanized troops to pass, along the Zhongmanjiang River to the south about 8 kilometers into it, there is a highway connecting Chushan and Shuozhou, along this road can be copied from the rear of the Chushan Japanese army!"

Guan Lin looked at the map and thought for a while, and then asked, "Can the T-39 assault gun pass through the ice of the Zhongman River?" ”

"It should be okay, the T-39 weighs only 16 tons, and it didn't press over the ice when it broke through the Yalu River just now."

"Okay, let's do it." Guan Linzheng did not hesitate any longer, and decisively ordered: "Order Liu Linsheng to strengthen the assault artillery regiment to the 102nd Division, let them attack south along the Zhongman River, and be sure to rush over, cut off the road between Shuozhou and Chushan, and threaten the rear road of the Japanese army in Chushan." ”

"In addition, order Zhang Yaoming's 38th Army to intensify the offensive against the original Japanese army, and be sure to attract the attention of the Japanese army."

"Also, contact the air force and ask them to block the roads behind the Japanese front as soon as dawn and paralyze their military movements!"

Liu Yuzhang, who was scolded by Guan Linzheng, did not dare to slack off after receiving the order to penetrate the rear of the Japanese army along the Zhongmanjiang River, and dropped the phone and handed over the command of the 52nd Army to Liu Lianyi, the deputy commander, and personally took the remaining 126 T-39 light assault guns of Colonel Xu Wenliang's 9th Assault Artillery Regiment to the headquarters of the 102nd Division on the periphery of Jinchengli.

Before he entered the door, he heard Major General Hu Jinsheng, the commander of the 102nd Division, holding the phone and scolding: "You bastard surnamed Hou, Lao Tzu doesn't listen to your explanation, Lao Tzu only needs to be in Jincheng, give you another chance, if you can't beat it, Lao Tzu will remove your colonel and regiment commander!" ”

"What? Jincheng hasn't been beaten down yet? The war was not going well, and Liu Yuzhang was not in a good mood, so he walked into the headquarters of the 102nd Division with a gloomy face.

"Commander, we're organizing an attack." Hu Jinsheng hurriedly explained: "Commander Hou Chengda took the lead and personally led the team to rush three times, and the Japanese devils in Jincheng couldn't hold out for long. ”

Hearing that the regiment commander was leading the charge, Liu Yuzhang didn't say anything more, unlike the Kuomintang army in another time and space, there are very few senior officers at the regimental level in the current Wehrmacht who charge with infantry, and the General Staff of the Wehrmacht also does not encourage middle and senior officers to be brave (in fact, even the Japanese army, which has always been known for its bravery, has never heard of a wing commander personally leading the charge).

Liu Yuzhang grabbed the binoculars and stood at an observation port to look at the opposite side, the Japanese position on the opposite side had been submerged in a sea of fire, and the smoke and flames rose one by one to cover the entire position, and he couldn't see the situation there at all. At present, China is already the third largest industrial country in the world, and Japan's heavy industry is not even one-tenth of China's, of course, there is no way to fight with China's firepower, only the Chinese artillery is seen on the battlefield, and the Japanese artillery only carries out a short fire raid when the Chinese infantry charges, and the time for each artillery fire will not exceed 3 minutes, otherwise there is a danger of being covered by Chinese artillery.

Now firing is the artillery regiment directly under the 102nd Division and the artillery batteries attached to the three infantry regiments, 18 150 howitzers, 36 105 howitzers, 18 105 recoilless guns, and 18 120mm heavy mortars at the same time playing an artillery chorus. The shells exploded intensively on the Japanese positions, and it was impossible to distinguish the point of explosion, only to see clusters of fire flashing through the smoke, and then they were immediately overwhelmed by the larger smoke that burst out.

The shelling lasted a full 30 minutes, and as soon as the shelling stopped, hundreds of infantrymen in camouflage uniforms and white smocks poured out from their starting positions 500 meters away from the Japanese positions, shouting and rushing into the smoke that had not yet dissipated. At the same time, dozens of machine guns were erected. Immediately, a "snort" sound similar to a high-speed turning chainsaw permeated the entire battlefield, and countless strings of fire swept through the Japanese positions, hitting the Japanese trenches with clusters of smoke, and the Japanese troops who were still insisting on resisting could not even lift their heads.

The early morning mountain wind finally blew away the heavy gunsmoke, and the real situation on the battlefield was immediately revealed in front of the telescope. The Japanese positions had been destroyed by repeated shelling, and the trenches held by the Japanese had long been in tatters, surrounded by charred fragments of corpses and the remains of civil fortifications, some of which were still smoking. The Chinese soldiers had already attacked, searching for the remnants of the enemy, and from time to time a desperate Japanese soldier would rush out of the corner with a grenade, but what awaited them was a burst of submachine gun fire! A roar and a cloud of red smoke followed......

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and 12 A4A5 Thunderhawk attack planes equipped with 30mm machine guns and two 100-kilogram anti-infantry submunitions flew into the sky over Jinchengli. With the advent of air support, the situation on the battlefield further developed in favor of the squadron. As long as the reinforcements mobilized by the Japanese commander from the depths were discovered by these planes, they swept away a string of bullets and shells, and if they could not do so, they dived and dropped a powerful submunition that exploded a large area. The Japanese troops who were attacked by air raids had no choice but to abandon their heavy equipment and retreat into the mountains and dense forests on both sides of the road.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hu Jinsheng decisively gave the order for a general attack, and a stream of white torrents poured up from the northeast, west, and west sides of the Japanese army position in Jinchengli, shouting loudly and rushing towards the Japanese army that had shown signs of retreat, and just 20 minutes later, a blue sky and white sun flag was finally raised above the core position of Jinchengli.

"Good! Rush in! Liu Yuzhang patted the retreat and shouted excitedly: "The headquarters of the 102nd Division took 1 regiment to stay in Jincheng. The other two regiments rested for 30 minutes and then advanced with me to the depth of the Japanese army! ”

"What did you say?" Hu Jinsheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is our division going to advance?" ”

"Assault the Japanese flank along the Chungman River, cut off the connection between Chushan and Shuozhou, and threaten the rear of the Japanese army in Chushan." Liu Yuzhang replied casually, threw the binoculars to the adjutant, and was about to walk outside the headquarters.

"What? Go along the Chungman River to copy the back road of the Japanese army! A trace of excitement flashed in Hu Jinsheng's eyes, and he hurriedly rushed in front of Liu Yuzhang, and said with a smile: "Gong Liang, how can the errand of copying the back road of Japan bother your big frame, or let the humble post take someone there." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Liu Yuzhang waved his hand impatiently: "You show me that this back road in Jincheng is a great achievement!" The Japanese devils will definitely counterattack if they lose their positions, why don't you hurry up and arrange defenses? Do you want the little devil to make dumplings for Lao Tzu? After saying this, Liu Yuzhang took his entourage and walked towards the 9th Assault Artillery Regiment, which was already ready to go at the foot of the mountain.

The onslaught of the squadron did not only take place in Jinchengli, but also in the middle of the entire Yalu River defense line of the Japanese army, including Chushan, Zhiyuan, Lunanli, Sanjiangli, Cicheng, Zhongjiang, Zhangxingli, Lingchengli, Huishan and other strategic points, all of which were under the strong attack of Zhong**.

After half a night of bloody battles. The 9th Army and the 10th Army of the squadron have already made more than a dozen gaps on the Japanese front. Although there were three to four thousand casualties (both colonial and Korean), the cost of losing dozens of T-39 assault guns (of which 37 were completely destroyed). However, it still gained a firm foothold on the south bank of the Yalu River, and the follow-up troops also continued to reinforce through the frozen river. In the early morning of the 12th, the Japanese 16th Army and the 18th Army cobbled together reserves to launch a round of counter-assault on the whole line, but they were quickly defeated by the overwhelming superiority of the squadron.

The Japanese army was already a little panicked at this time. Although the strong firepower and air superiority of the squadron were prepared before the battle. But when the fight really started, I found that the little preparation before the war was not enough to offset the huge advantage of the opponent, and what was even more troublesome was that the initiative on the battlefield was completely in the hands of the squadron. The Japanese army could only be beaten on their backs, and they had no power to fight back! Although the entire defense line has not collapsed for the time being thanks to the tenacious spirit of the Japanese Army, everyone knows what the result will be if this kind of nest battle in which they are only beaten and cannot fight back. And what made the Japanese army even more panicked was that the powerful armored division of the squadron did not engage in the first day of fighting, and the front-line troops did not find any other armored vehicles except for the report that they found a very small assault gun, but the firepower and defense were not weak (very slow).

At this time, there was also a chaotic and noisy atmosphere in the headquarters of the DPRK Army, and telegrams from the front line asking for help were flying like snowflakes. Chief of Staff Ishihara was already sweating profusely, and while urgently handling these telegrams for help, he and Deputy Chief of Staff Ojodo Sanji, Senior Staff Officer Masanobu Qian, and others were working on the map with their own hands, trying to find a way to reverse the unfavorable situation. It is obvious that the front-line troops are under great pressure, and if reinforcements cannot be sent in time, the entire Yalu River defense line is very likely to be broken by the squadron in a short time! However, the DPRK command has already drawn four divisions from the reserve to throw in the army, if it wants to increase the number of troops...... The number of reserves is a little too small! After all, the powerful armored division of the squadron has not yet moved, and no one can be sure whether the current attack is a feint or the main attack?

"The armored division of the Chinese army has not appeared, and based on this alone, it can be basically judged that the current attack of the Chinese army is only a feint, and the 16th and 18th armies should be strictly ordered to defend firmly and not retreat an inch, as long as the imperial army carries forward the spirit of bushido, it will definitely be able to ......."

Just when Ishihara Waner and Oshirodo Sanji had different opinions and couldn't make up their minds, the senior level of the North Korean army~~-
