Umezu Mijiro knows better than anyone what kind of team he is facing. [Article from 5] If it is not possible to occupy this place before dawn, there is no doubt that the Wehrmacht's air force and heavy artillery units will inflict a full-scale attack on themselves.

Umezu Mijiro was not at all sure that he would be able to take a position under Wehrmacht fire and bombardment, and even if he attacked strongly, he might not be able to take it.

And in this operation, the most crucial thing is to take the defensive positions of the Wehrmacht. If you can't win this battle, you will lose half of it.

"What about the divisions in the back?! Haven't the roundabout divisions yet arrived at their intended combat positions?! What the hell are they doing?! Order them to arrive immediately and attack immediately!! ”

Umezu Mijiro was full of anxiety, and time passed minute by minute. The Japanese in the frontal position had barely made any progress, and now Umezu Mijiro's only reliance was on the Japanese troops who had made a detour to the rear.

Only by relying on them to open the positions of the Wehrmacht will they be able to stand for victory.

......In order to ensure the victory of the Japanese attack, Umezu Mijiro did not hesitate to drive out all the last less than 30 Japanese tanks.

And the order that Umezu Mijiro gave them was: even if they were all lost, they had to tear a hole. Only by tearing a hole was the Japanese were able to break into the positions of the Wehrmacht.

Then those roundabout troops had the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to attack from the rear, thus laying the foundation for victory in one fell swoop.

This was also the only chance for the Japanese to win, and if it were not so, it would have been almost impossible to break through the positions of the Wehrmacht. Even with the determination to inflict heavy casualties, it was difficult to capture the positions of the Wehrmacht at once from the front.

"Whew~Boom!!" A Molotov cocktail was thrown out of the positions of the Wehrmacht. Smashed directly on the Japanese tank. Immediately, the flames engulfed the entire tank, and the Japanese soldiers in the tank heard a burst of screams.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Da da da......" machine guns and explosions rang out. In the light of the fire, the Japanese constantly tried to break through the positions of the Wehrmacht, but they were repeatedly blocked by fire and had to lie on the spot.

The Japanese army has been operating on the 38th parallel for more than a day or two. The same Wehrmacht has not been stationed at the 38th parallel for a day or two. Both sides built a large number of fortifications here.

High and low machine gun firing range, cross-fire blockade, blind spot shooting hole...... And so on, the Wehrmacht had to pay huge casualties to be able to take the Japanese positions.

And at the same time, how could the Japanese army not be like this?! To break through the positions of the Wehrmacht head-on, the time and casualties they would have to pay were enormous.

"Quick! I'm about to get into position! His Excellency Commander Umezu has given the order for a general attack, and now the frontal Imperial warriors are paying with their lives! We must attack as soon as possible! ”

The commander of the 17th Front of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshio Kamitsuki, roared loudly, while his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Juntaro Ihara, commanded the march of the troops with a calm face and without saying a word.

Major General Kim Chol-gwang is a little confused about what these Japanese are doing in such a hurry?! Now the 38th parallel is still in their hands, and the situation in North Korea has been brought under control.

The Northeast is now extremely empty. These units of the 38th Parallel Defense Force, which have no support and logistics, are like turtles in an urn. They don't even have to attack, just besieging them can besiege them to death.

But alas, the battle is not up to him. And the last order given to him by Syngman Rhee was. Let him fully assist the Japanese army in all operations.

Therefore, even if Kim Zheguang was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Japanese army, he could only do his best to help. They are now grasshoppers on a rope, and they can't jump to Umezu Mijiro and can't escape Syngman Rhee.

And the troops who followed Umezu Mijiro and Syngman Rhee, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only follow them all the way to the ......

"Did you ask ......" Wang Yajiao looked at the Japanese division that was approaching outside the city. Still calmly asked Xiao Shu. The latter nodded and said, "We've got their codebook." With the cooperation of several insiders, most of the passwords were also set out......"

"There are a few key words that are still being sorted out." Xiao Shu paused and said, "Now we can also send a report to them in the tone of the Japanese army." Of course, we need to avoid those few key words......"

Wang Yajiao smiled and said, "Then generate electricity now." Put all those cubs in the urn, and things in Pyongyang should come to an end......"

After a pause, Wang Yajiao continued: "Telegraph to the headquarters and the troops of the 38th Parallel that the plan has entered the final stage. ”

"Yes!!" Xiao Shu responded. Excitedly, he rushed straight out.

"Report! There was a call from the sleeper in Pyongyang that 'Qiu' had blown up the presidential palace. Now Jin Jiu, whose fate is unknown, is being searched. However, a part of the Wehrmacht troops appeared in the city. They are trying to expel them from Pyongyang......"

Soon after, Shiozawa received a telegram from Pyongyang. The contents of the telegram made his face turn pale, and he shouted at his lieutenant, "Don't want anything! Order the troops to move at full speed, we must control the Wehrmacht before it reoccupies Pyongyang! ”

"Order the liaison officer and let him tell Syngman Rhee that we will arrive in Pyongyang in half an hour! They have to hold on for half an hour, half an hour!! ”

"Hail!!" The adjutant answered loudly, and then hurried down to deliver the order.

At this time, a small number of small units of the Korean People's Army appeared on the road and began to attack or block the Japanese army. They tried to slow down the march of Shiozawa's troops.

Based on this, Shiozawa judged that these squads were buying time for the castle. This shows that his unit has been discovered by the National Defense Forces and the Korean People's Army.

They now have to reach Pyongyang only as fast as they can, before Syngman Rhee's forces are annihilated. Otherwise, once Pyongyang is lost, then the efforts of the Japanese army up to now will be in vain......

"Command the troops! Don't bother with anything, attack! Offensive!! Shiozawa snorted and commanded to his team: "Seize it!" As long as Pyongyang is occupied, it will be our victory! Don't dwell on them. You just have to move forward! Advance! ”

"Hail!!" The Japanese paid little attention to any attack, and the reconnaissance units merely drove away the small forces that blocked and harassed them. Then they continued their frantic march towards Pyongyang......

Bai Chengwen, commander of the 55th Army of the Korean Theater of the National Defense Forces, constantly dispatched his troops into the designated combat area, except for a regiment of the 38th Division in Pyongyang to cooperate with the Korean garrison to clear out Syngman Rhee's miscellaneous troops. The rest of the men all withdrew from Pyongyang and began to set up positions outside the city.

Unbeknownst to Shiozawa, the Wehrmacht had spread its net and waited for him to come in. On the contrary, he rushed towards Pyongyang with his troops in a frenzy.

In his opinion, Pyongyang is already in control. You can't throw it out of your hands......

"Tell Shiozawa that he must end the fight for me within an hour! Then we will completely wipe out all the forces of the National Defense Forces and Kim Koo in North Korea, and I don't want to hear about the presence of these two forces in North Korea tomorrow morning......"

Umezu Mijiro put down his binoculars. He looked at his watch and said, "There are still two hours, and if you can't capture this place within two hours, then the 17th Front Army will immediately rush to Pyongyang, and immediately attack the front line of the Yalu River after joining up with Shiozawa......"

It can't be attacked for a long time. Umezu Mijiro could only begin to reluctantly adjust his strategy. The first thing to change is the sequence of the offensive, if it is impossible to take the position for a long time, then the main force of the Kwantung Army can only withdraw to the 38th parallel and shrink.

At the same time, he will detach a part of his troops directly into Pyongyang and then storm the Yalu River. Eventually, the Japanese army will be directed towards Northeast China.

Defeating North Korea is not their ultimate goal. Completely destroying the industrial base of the three eastern provinces is what they really want to do. Even the Wehrmacht reacted. In order to ensure the safety of the pass, they can only let the troops strengthen the defense at Shanhaiguan.

Then, from the border of Korea or the Soviet Union, the main forces were transferred back and the Japanese troops in the three eastern provinces were cleared. This period of time will definitely not be short, and it will take at least a month for them to complete the most optimistic estimates.

One month was enough time for the Japanese army to carry out sabotage in the three eastern provinces. Umezu Mijiro even thought that once the Japanese army invaded the three eastern provinces, it would not need supplies at all.

The three eastern provinces themselves are a huge granary and ammunition depot, and even a huge arsenal. The Japanese troops who attacked the past could completely rely on capture to be self-sufficient.

"Oh?! Has Uncle Jiuguang launched it over there?! Tu Mengben opened his eyes slightly in his headquarters, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Then let's launch it too!" Tu Mengben quietly restrained his smile. Slowly stood up. Everyone in the command stood tall and waited silently for his orders.

"Inform the troops. Launch an all-out attack on the 38th parallel! Night attack aircraft and bombers are in full swing! Heavy artillery units and the Second Artillery Corps carried out all-out artillery bombardment of the positions......"

The orders came out of Tu Mengben's mouth, and the staff officers recorded these orders and sent them by telephone and telegram.

The Wehrmacht, who were waiting for the rest of the country, were like dormant beasts, and all of them suddenly burst out the moment they received the order.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......Countless warplanes took off, and there was a frenzied bombing and strafing of the Japanese position.

The bunkers of the Japanese army were lifted off piece by piece, and countless Japanese soldiers were torn to pieces along with the rubble of the bunker. Splattered corpses and blood stained the land red......

"Tom tom tom...... ......The bombardment lasted nearly twenty minutes, and then the Wehrmacht's Second Artillery Rocket Unit began to sweep through the Japanese positions.

Countless rockets dragged their tail flames and swirled towards the Japanese position. The Japanese position, which had just been bombed, was once again dealt a near-devastating blow.

The 107mm caliber rocket smashed straight into the Japanese army's bunkers, overturning those bunkers that were only one meter or less. Some Japanese soldiers who did not have time to hide in the anti-artillery holes were blown to pieces in the raging artillery fire.

These rockets have been improved by the National Defense Forces Research Institute and have greater penetration than the first generation of rockets. So these Japanese soldiers were unlucky.

In the first round of bombardment alone, seventy percent of the Japanese bunkers were destroyed. Due to the huge power and coverage of the rockets, more than 30% of the anti-artillery holes of the Japanese troops were directly collapsed in the first round of shooting.

The Japanese soldiers who were hiding from the shelling in the cave were buried alive before they even had time to react......

The "boom, boom, boom......" shelling is not over yet. The heavy artillery units of the Wehrmacht began to bombard the Japanese positions frantically. At this time, the artillery reconnaissance team had already infiltrated the front of the Japanese position.

Most of the Japanese positions, which had already been destroyed, began to be subjected to precision artillery shelling by the Wehrmacht. A large number of shells rained down on the Japanese positions.

Every time an explosion sounded, countless Japanese soldiers were directly killed. Pits and firing holes of positions. And those exposed fortifications and bunkers were completely struck.

This time, more than ninety percent of the bunkers were directly bombed. The Japanese troops in the anti-artillery shelter were forced to withdraw, and withdrew to the second-line positions under alternate cover.

"Report! The artillery reconnaissance team reported that the Japanese were withdrawing towards the second-line position...... "The Wehrmacht side soon received the news from the front, and Tu Mengben seemed to have expected all this.

"Order the artillery and the 2nd artillery unit to extend the shelling. The main target is the second-line position...... Tu Menghu ordered without looking back: "Order all fighters and bombers to start warming up." Fly to the forward position after dawn to support the army's offensive ......"

"The 3rd Panzer Guards went to the position. Surprise attack on Japanese positions after dawn! Their task was to tear open the gaps in the Japanese positions, but not to fall in love with the war. Attack below the 38th parallel to ......"

"Yan Chenghan's division of the 10th Army Corps and Zhang Xueliang's division of the 6th Army Corps launched a strong attack on the Japanese army's position with all their might! Tomorrow before eight o'clock in the morning. We must take all the Japanese positions outside the 38th parallel......"

One order after another was heard, and the long-dormant beast of the Wehrmacht finally showed its fierce fangs to the Japanese army. With just one bite, they had already torn apart the Japanese army's chain of bunker fortifications.

At this time, Umezu Mijiro also received news that the Wehrmacht was storming the 38th parallel. At this time, he was a little hesitant. Because the Japanese army also tore apart the Wehrmacht front on the side of the 38th parallel.

After hours of hard fighting. Only four of the thirty tanks remained. The Japanese finally broke through the positions of the Wehrmacht, and the Wehrmacht began to retreat to the third line.

And the Japanese troops in the rear of the roundabout road also began to launch a strong attack on the positions of the Wehrmacht, and seeing the positions of the Wehrmacht crumbling, Umezu Mijiro felt very unwilling!

The position is about to be broken, do you want to withdraw at this time......

"Order the Third Front Army and the Fourth Army not to attack at will, they only need to strictly hold the defensive position of the 38th Parallel!" Umezu Mijiro has finally made a decision, and he has decided to continue attacking here!

"Order the rest of the troops, storm the Wehrmacht positions! It must be taken down immediately, regardless of casualties! Assault of the whole army!! Umezu Mijiro almost ordered with a roar. He had already decided to bet everything the Kwantung Army had to win the battle.

The Third Front Army left behind in the 38th Parallel was a notoriously weak brigade in almost the entire Japanese battle sequence. They were merely a contingent of young people from the cantonment households in the Korean region.

Its combat effectiveness can be imagined. And the only combat effectiveness of the Fourth Army. After several hard battles, he has already lost his sharpness. Umezu Mijiro could only pray that these two forces would be able to sustain themselves enough to completely annihilate this Wehrmacht force......

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom......" Shiozawa was now completely dumbfounded, and the desperate march he ordered his troops finally brought bitter fruit.

Without even turning a corner, Shiozawa plunged headlong into the Wehrmacht's pocket with his troops. The location of the communication station was found out at the first time, and the first one to be bombed off was the radio squad.

Shiozawa and his large army were cut into small pieces step by step, and it was obvious that the enemy had figured out his combat strength and weapon ratio. They are now bombarding the Japanese without any cover with artillery shelling.

Shiozawa looked at this posture and knew that he was finished. The 119th Division is completely finished......

"Order the troops, end the battle in half an hour." Bai Chengwen looked at his watch and said, "Screen carefully, move quickly, there are still a large number of captives waiting to be caught in the 38th parallel!" ”

"Yes!!" The adjutant straightened up and replied in a loud voice.

At this time, Umezu Mijiro finally saw the scene he wanted to see. In the faintly rising morning light, a large number of Japanese soldiers began to howl and rush to the positions of the Wehrmacht.

Finally win! Umezu Yoshijiro breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give the order for the troops to be assembled and divided before dawn. Some of them went to Pyongyang to carry out the next battle plan, and the other part directly withdrew to the 38th parallel to continue to defend against the possible attack of the Wehrmacht......

"Boom !!" Suddenly. A shocking explosion sounded! The huge shock wave set off by the explosion directly knocked Umezu Mijiro, who was far away on the periphery of the position, to the ground.

All the Japanese soldiers were stunned to see the mushroom cloud slowly rising on the position, in the faintly rising morning light. This mushroom cloud is so dazzling and bewitching......

"Kill!!" Just after the explosion, a shout of killing rang out around the Japanese troops. In the faint morning light, the troops with no end in sight roared towards the Japanese army!

If, at this time, Umezu Mijiro has not seen that this is a planned trap, then it can only be said that he is an idiot among idiots. Umezu Mijiro is certainly not an idiot, but he knows it's too late to say anything......

"Withdraw!! Don't worry about anything, don't bother with anything! Immediately withdraw to the 38th parallel position! Remove!! Umezu Mijiro roared loudly with red eyes.

Without his orders, the Japanese knew what was going on when they heard the shouts of killing. The remnants of the troops began to gather and tried to pounce on their positions in the rear.

It's a pity. As soon as they turned around, they found that their back path had been cut off. The Wehrmacht units that are pouring out of nowhere, have completely cut off their back routes......

"Buzz buzz ......" The roar of fighter jets in the sky sounded, and Umezu Mijiro looked at the sky in despair. He knows. Today he was completely lost......

At this time, Tu Mengben was wearing riding boots and stepped on the position of the Japanese army's bunker group. It has been combed over and over again by the Wehrmacht soldiers, and those who are alive are Japanese soldiers with sound hands and feet.

As for those who are disabled and seriously injured, they have become the dead. The IDF does not have a surplus of military doctors and medicines. to give them use.

Rather than let them continue to suffer. It is better to put an end to their suffering. The Wehrmacht soldiers were happy and merciful to put an end to the suffering of these Japanese soldiers.

"There, blow him up." Tu Mengben's horsewhip gently slapped his riding boots, and said softly: "Blow it off completely!" Bomb it, we're going to hit the Japanese mainland. ”

In a word, gently and gently. And after these soft words fell, countless streams of fire behind him rushed towards the Japanese position!

The explosion of "boom, ......boom, boom, boom" suddenly resounded, and the Second Artillery Corps first carried out a covering bombardment of the Japanese 38th Parallel position, followed by a bombardment by heavy artillery units......

In the morning light. Tu Mengben stood on the ruins of the bunker complex of the Japanese position. The positions were littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers who had been killed and blown up. Even Tu Mengben's riding boots still had a piece of minced meat that had been blown away.

But he didn't care. He slowly lowered himself as the shelling hit. Because he saw a small flower, which bloomed in the cold wind, and was not destroyed by the bombardment and the frantic artillery fire of the Wehrmacht. She was still open, quietly open.

"Inform the soldiers, don't pull out or clean this little flower...... Tu Mengben lowered his head and sniffed the flower, but unfortunately the flower could no longer smell her original fragrance.

She was now the same as her surroundings, and it smelled of gunsmoke.

"It's not easy to survive." Tu Mengben smiled in the rumbling artillery fire and said, "Since she is so tenacious, then let her live well......

"Yes!!" The adjutant answered, and then found a wooden plaque on the battlefield. With a brush, he wrote Tu Mengben's order on it, and at the same time explained the reason for the order.

Then, a wooden sign was placed on the ruins next to the small flower. The rumbling armored units of the Wehrmacht advanced towards the 38th parallel with incomparable domineering.

And when they got to the wooden sign, they quietly bypassed......

The "Buzzing ......" Wehrmacht's bomber units began to fly over the 38th parallel, and one after another heavy rocket-booster bombs were dropped, and mushroom clouds rose from the Japanese positions below......

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" The Japanese army's strong underground fortifications crumbled in front of the heavy rocket-booster bombs. Pieces of underground fortifications collapsed directly under the bombardment......

"Mom...... I want to go home...... I don't want to die......" Inside the Japanese fortifications, the terrible screams and wails were all in one...... (To be continued......)
