Chapter 529: Cutting off North Korea
@@@@@
North Korea, the fighting did not stop because of the negotiations.
On the hill of Ahu Feiling, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the 70th Wing of the Japanese Army stationed here was severely attacked. Luckily for Pyongyang, the mountain range that cut off the peninsula between Wonsan and North Hwanghae Province finally stopped the Wehrmacht armoured units, and the fighting once again returned to the most primitive infantry strangulation. The focus of the battle is on Ahuling, the northernmost point of the mountain range, which is not only the highest point of the mountain range, but also the western gate to enter and exit Wonsan Port! As long as the artillery is deployed on the top of the mountain, the world-class bays on the east coast of North Korea, Woody Bay and Wonsan Port, will all be enveloped in artillery.
This seaport is one of the important objectives of the National Defense Force's operation, and it is also the North Korean seaport that the Navy most covets. Geographically, if the Wehrmacht were to occupy the area, it would be tantamount to cutting the Korean Peninsula in half, and the Vladivostok base would threaten the Sea of Japan, which Japan considered a forbidden sea. The Japanese were also aware of the importance of this seaport, and not only transferred the 4th Division to guard Wonsan Port, but also sent cruisers to protect it, and placed the 70th Infantry Wing, which was capable of fighting well, on the line of Ahuling, in an attempt to protect and disintegrate the Wehrmacht offensive layer by layer.
The 70th Infantry Wing was originally an excellent infantry wing reorganized from the 7th Wing of the 4th Division, and it has a long and glorious tradition, and has received personal awards from the emperor.
Wing Commander Henyoshi Motoda is a middle-level officer who was born in the Japanese army, and he has the traditional spirit of Osaka businessmen stalking and fighting, and has repeatedly used the advantages of high mountains and dense forests to block the impact of the North Korean ** Army and the 8th Division of the National Defense Army. But today, his opponent in the telescope was replaced by the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Wehrmacht. About one regiment wore steel helmets and brownish winter cotton coats. Soldiers armed with rifles were slowly marching towards the position. As an experienced army officer, the opponent's unhurried combat style brought him heavy pressure. Because in his hometown there is a slang saying: "Those who roar and roar are wild dogs, and real wolves never rush even if they are hungry." Now he had such a force in front of him, even though he knew that if he crossed the hill he would win, he still maintained a high level of vigilance, and every soldier kept looking left and right as he advanced.
Two medals on the left and right collars of the soldier stung his eyes! A black skeleton on the left, and a silver dragon on the right. In traditional Eastern culture, the symbol of a skull is not used. Only Yang Qiu, a white ghost animal lackey, would use this medal, and this medal is very famous in the China National Defense Force, representing the ace troops formed and participated in bloody battles in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Silver Regiment Dragon Medal represents that this team has participated in European competitions. And an elite unit that has made outstanding contributions! Both an ace division and an elite unit that participated in the European War, only the first 3 infantry divisions and several guard regiments in the Wehrmacht have this kind of glory! No matter who it is, it shows that the troops who came this time are very difficult to bite. A few minutes later. An officer appeared behind the soldier, waving his right hand and shouting repeatedly, and under his command the regiment pulled away again, and the formation looked chaotic and very scattered. But it was this kind of scattering that made him even more nervous, they had seen this kind of scattering during the Sino-Japanese War, and after the war, they also conducted research on this kind of running position in China, but they never found a way. Even the Ministry of Intelligence was mobilized, but in addition to knowing the term "33 tactics", there were no clues about the running position, cover, etc. of the tactical core. On the contrary, it also exposed many excellent spies lurking in the Republic of China.
"The people of China have come up!"
"Prepare for battle, the fate of the Great Japanese Empire is in our hands, onboard! Onboard! Onboard! ”
Under the frantic encouragement of Henji Motoda and the officers, the Japanese infantry hiding in the trenches came out of their bunkers with red eyes, and suddenly the muzzles on the west side of the trenches were lined up. When the artillery battery, hiding in the dense forest, finished preparing and waited for orders. A communications officer suddenly ran over. He looked embarrassed and stopped talking for a long time, and finally took out a letter under Motoda Hengji's fierce eyes: "Dazuo, this is just sent from the harbor." It's your home letter. ”
"Yaga! When is this, what we have to do is to fight for the fate of the Great Japanese Empire, not to read what family letters! Henry Motoda was furious. The communication soldier nodded in fright, but before leaving, he still put the letter on the table: "Your Excellency Dazuo." The person who delivered the letter was very anxious, and he said that your brother and mother had been martyred. ”
This last sentence made Henyoshi Motoda, who was still full of anger just now, suddenly fade all his blood, and his eyes stared at the unsealed letter and stretched out his hand. Martyrdom? My mother has always been in good health, and my younger brother was very healthy when he came out last month, so how could he be martyred? Thinking of those flyers flying all over the sky, his heart shrank and shrank, and his outstretched hand froze for a long time before he suddenly retracted it, went up and slapped the communication soldier twice: "Bastard, this is a rumor!" Go and arrest the messenger and hand it over to the gendarmes! After finishing speaking, he turned his head sharply and roared at the officer who was in a daze behind him: "What are you still doing? Are you ready to bury the fate of the Empire?! ”
"Boom." Six 75mm mountain guns opened the curtain of attack and defense again. As the flames rose from the foot of the mountain, a dense fireball exploded on the ridge position. The 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Wehrmacht had a fully suppressed artillery regiment, armed with 12 105mm howitzers and 24 70mm field mountain guns. And there were quite a few 80 and 120mm mortars in each regiment, so many guns fired at the same time, so that the 70th Wing, which was at a disadvantage, had to struggle to support, and the telephone line was full of howls of artillery support from the 4th Division behind it.
The soldiers cried with their heads in their hands, and many were blown away by shells before the enemy infantry could get close. Under the cover of superior fire, the 3 Brigade Infantry Regiment soon approached the skirmishers. At this time, all the light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese position opened fire, and they frantically strafed the foot of the mountain despite the falling shells. The 3rd Brigade was not only the first unit to be formed to participate in all the wars since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also mixed into the 232nd Division to participate in the Western Front in the later period. Therefore, the intensive strafing of the Japanese army did not make everyone too nervous, and the soldiers rushed to find cover at the same time as the guns rang out, and then advanced in groups of three or three.
In the eyes of Henyoshi Motota, the tactics of this infantry regiment suddenly became dazzling. They alternated on a squad basis, with the first squad rushing about 30 meters before stopping. Then look for cover and use light machine guns or grenades to create smoke to cover the second squad to charge forward. The second shift does not stop by their side, but will not stop until they reach 50 meters, and when they stop, they will also be suppressed with fire, or they will simply create a large amount of explosion smoke. It wasn't until the third squad rushed up and established a fire position that the first squad jumped up and rushed 30 meters in front of the second shift.
Repeatedly overlapping layers of cover, like a big snowball that keeps rolling towards the top of the mountain! And the soldiers of this double-medal unit are very skillful in their movements. When running, the body is pressed very low, and the trees and rocks are constantly squeezed forward. Henry Motoda felt the pressure, but he didn't know that this was actually a leap forward tactic used by the Wehrmacht to attack fortifications. This tactic is also the watchful skill of the parallel world** and the national army. The most successful example of the war was the Sino-Indian self-defense counterattack, relying on this tactic to beat the Indian army, which had a geographical advantage at that time, in the ** plateau area. This charge tactic is extremely challenging for the rank and file commanders and fire suppression teams, as they have to dodge bullets not only on the run. It is also necessary to quickly find cover, and the tactical password must be very accurate, the slightest carelessness will lead to the loss of the entire squad or even the entire company, so how to organize firepower, how to give full play to the advantages of light machine guns, grenades and grenades, as well as the resilience of individual soldiers are all important.
Although the individual firepower of the Wehrmacht did not reach the standard of an assault rifle in later generations, after the few heavy firepower under the suppression of artillery fire could not make a sound, the Japanese army could only rely on the individual performance of the Type 38 rifle and infantry. As soon as the 3rd Brigade changed its action of slowly entering the battlefield, it leaped forward and charged extremely fast, and rushed to 100 meters in front of the Japanese position in just ten minutes. Hiroki Motoda was anxious about how to deal with the advancing Wehrmacht. The first group of fireteams to rush to the front came up with a new weapon they had brought, a 79-year-old 40mm howitzer modeled after the M17 howitzer. Compared with the grenadier, the howitzer is comparable in cost, but it is highly accurate, moderately powerful and does not occupy the establishment. It can be carried by ordinary infantry when it needs to be reinforced with firepower, and it only takes a few training sessions to become proficient. It was precisely because of this benefit that Yang Qiu couldn't wait to come up with the drawings after the manufacturing technology reached the standard. However, since the IDF now has nearly 200,000 grenadiers, it is gradually equipping only a few main forces.
The Japanese soldiers, who had suffered enough from grenadiers, had been paying attention to whether there were any soldiers who were squatting or firing on their stomachs, but this time they miscalculated again, and hundreds of howitzers specially reinforced for the battle quickly shot a wave of grenades from behind trees and bunkers. The soldiers moved quickly while fighting back, making it completely impossible for the Japanese soldiers to keep up with the rhythm. The accuracy of the howitzer at 100 meters is almost comparable to that of a submachine gun, so 40 mm fragmentation grenades keep falling in the trenches, blowing up people on their backs and bleeding. Seeing that the position was about to be breached, Motoda Henyoshi jumped out of cover with red eyes, pulled out his command knife and ordered a bayonet assault.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed out of their bunkers, their bayonets shining in the sun, rushing down from the top of the hill with madness. Rifles, light machine guns, shotguns, and grenades opened fire in unison, and freshly prepared 60mm mortars joined in and opened heavy fire on the Japanese. Blood, corpses were trampled into bloody mud, in the face of the rapidly approaching Japanese sprint tactical infantry regiment also tooth for tooth, the issued Minyuan-style 9mm pistol is the best weapon to deal with sprint tactics, when the bullet is finished, everyone does not change the magazine, stand up the bayonet and strangle with the enemy.
Hiroki Motoda has been rushing to the front, and the sudden arrival of the death of his mother and brother has already made him desperate, only to realize that the leaflets that have been being dropped in the past few days are all true, but what is the use of this? Just give your life to follow your mother and brother! He howled like a wild beast, slashed one Wehrmacht soldier with his saber and stabbed the second in the back. "Bell." He choked with the crisp sound of the tip of the knife hitting the steel plate, and the soldier's rifle swept through his head, the bayonet slicing an artery along his neck.
"Nyima! Lao Tzu had already guarded against this trick when he went out! The soldier spat hard, and the pistol was pointed at the Japanese soldiers who rushed in.
The flesh grinding disc continued to bite and strangle the soldiers on both sides, and even if the Japanese bayonet tactics were put on the steel vest in antiquity, the infantry regiment still paid a lot of unit price. But this is North Korea, right on the doorstep! But 1 regiment is not enough for 2, 3, 4 regiments. Fang Rui quickly seized the opportunity of the confusion of the Japanese position, and sure enough, he threw in several regiments again, and at the same time, the Korean ** Army also sent a brigade to contain the supporting Japanese infantry from the flank. After nearly 3 hours of fierce fighting, a flying tiger flag was planted on the top of the mountain.
The hunting flag heralds Wonsan, the largest seaport on the east coast of North Korea, opening its doors to the Wehrmacht, which also means that the Korean Peninsula has been cut in half!
When Kikujiro Ishii, who was far away in Shanghai, learned that Wonsan had been breached, the 70th Infantry Wing of the Army had been almost completely annihilated, and the 4th Division had abandoned the harbor in a hurry and fled in the direction of Mt. Kumgang, he finally lowered his head slowly. Under Lansing's mediation, the Japanese government finally agreed to the preconditions for negotiations except Sakhalin.
Japan, painfully accepting the second defeat! …… ()
