"The Battle of Seoul has begun!" The sound of dense explosions in Bukhansan Mountain soon reached the Prime Minister's Office in Tokyo. Hideki Tojo, who was crumbling in phase, knelt on the straw mat, and together with the ministers, looked at the angry Hirohito in front of him, his face was surprisingly calm.

Since the Soviet counteroffensive launched in Central Asia in May, the pressure on the Japanese mainland has suddenly decreased a lot, and the number of crow-like bombers shuttling around the island day and night has plummeted from more than 500 sorties a day to 100 sorties a day. However, a few days ago, Europe and the United States reported the victory of the Battle of the Central Asian Bulge and the Battle of Kostanay, and the news that the Chinese Army officially advanced to the Urals, which made the whole of Japan suffer again! The subsequent defeat in Okinawa extinguished his idea of "holding on until the international situation reversed." It is foreseeable that by the end of October, when the north enters the harsh winter again, a large number of Chinese bombers will reappear in the skies over Japan like migratory birds.

Now that Seoul is in danger again, and Japan's rule on the Korean Peninsula is in full swing, he understands that this time he may really fail. "It's a no-brainer to put your hopes in your allies." Tojo smiled bitterly in his heart, in the face of the erosive situation, he couldn't come up with a strategy, and he had the idea of resigning. The ministers in the room were also silent, only Umezu Mijiro, who was wrapped in gauze on his arm, stubbornly said: "You shouldn't give up!" There are still a million soldiers in Imperial Korea, 500,000 soldiers in the South, and tens of millions of people on the island! As long as each of us kills a Shina soldier, we can make them bleed dry! ”

"Dry blood? Hum! Umezu-kun thinks that flesh and blood can block the heavy artillery and chariots of the Shina army? The empire's oil and steel reserves have been depleted, and even the aircraft and anti-aircraft guns are almost out of production, how can it withstand the bombing of China? The newly appointed Minister of the Navy, Shigetaro Shimada, snorted coldly, dissatisfied with the army's stubbornness and arrogance. Don't look at the defeat of the Combined Fleet, but in the eyes of the Navy's top brass, if the Army had abandoned North Korea earlier and adopted the strategy of not engaging with China, it would not have been cornered so early.

This kind of shirking responsibility suddenly aroused the long-dormant contradiction between land and sea, and Umezu Mijiro tore off the gauze and angrily reprimanded: "That's not the incompetence of your navy!" If you can send the Imperial Army to Korea, will Banhuan-jun still be surrounded? ”

"Yaga! That's your stupidity, caused by the breakthrough of the line of defense by the Chinese chariots, what does it have to do with us? ”

"What about Okinawa? Why is it lost! ”

The dispute between the two touched the wound left by Umezu Mijiro in the Ryukyus, and the blood slowly seeped out from under the gauze, making him look particularly hideous. "Someone, help Umezu take care of his wounds." Seeing this, Hirohito called the attendant to redress his wounds, and his eyes swept over the faces of Tojo and the others: "Okay! Now is not the time to argue, I want to know your new tactics!? ”

After Hirohito broke off the dispute, Anan Yuji immediately bowed, and pointed the finger at Tojo, who was silent next to him: "After twenty years of exhaustion, how can you give up because of a little setback?!" The allies are still holding on, but the empire is going to end lightly? China has not yet entered Moscow, and the situation of the two-front attack has not changed. At this time, the current strategy should be continued. Use North Korea to consume the Chinese army, and then accumulate strength in the country, and decisively deal with some people who fail to do so, so as to show the people their determination to fight to the death! Wait patiently for a counteroffensive opportunity. ”

In the face of such obvious accusations from Anami, Tojo did not speak. As the Prime Minister and Minister of War, it is impossible to say that there is no responsibility for the war like this, not to mention who is behind Anan Weiji, and who is not clear here? If it weren't for Hirohito's displeasure, how could this dog bark? Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, Koiso Kuni, Showa and Shunroku Hata and others pointed the finger at him, and even Okamura and others thought that he should take responsibility and took the initiative to step down and apologize to the people.

The army outside is pressing, and the internal strife is continuous, which makes Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, who is sitting on the very edge, a little anxious. He doesn't believe in such a non-nefarious thing as accumulating strength, and Japan is not a mainland country rich in resources, and it can't even build a few planes in China, so how can he save money? So he cleared his throat and interrupted: "Your Majesty, the matter of pursuing responsibility can be postponed, and I think that it is time to send someone to Beijing to listen to the conditions of China."

"What?!"

Shigemitsu Aoi's words made the air freeze in an instant, and the stiff Umezu Mijiro and several others looked even fiercer. Hirohito's face was also angry at first, and then quickly replaced by confusion, and it took a long time to twist to the bright sun outside the window. "Could it be that the Sun Empire, which our ancestors worked so hard to create, really want to fall in our own hands? It shouldn't be like this! ”

While Hirohito was hesitant to make contact with Beijing, the Battle of Seoul was already raging. The 10 Russian divisions and 3 Korean infantry divisions that came ashore from Haizhou made Zhuo Fan's strength soar to 22 divisions, and after learning that Liu Mingzhao had invaded the Urals, he immediately gathered 8 divisions and launched a fierce attack on Bukhansan Mountain, and at the same time asked Zhao Dengyu to lead 6 divisions south from Gyeonggi Province to attack Chungju and Cheongju. The navy, which had finally freed up its hands from the Ryukyus, sent 2 Beihai-class aircraft carriers, 4 escort aircraft carriers, 2 Yasu-class battleships, 2 Beijing-class battleships, and 6 light and heavy cruisers to launch heavy artillery bombardments on the port of Incheon and Seoul.

In the face of the all-out land, sea and air strikes of the Chinese National Defense Forces, Itakami Seishiro knew that Seoul was probably more than lucky, so he immediately issued a "jade shattering" order! All troops in the north were ordered to immediately break through to the south. In order to delay the time to hold Seoul and prevent internal repercussions, he also ordered the execution of all rioters in the city.

Because of the blockade, the intelligence officers in the city were unable to send out information, so this "jade crushing execution order" was not known until Pyongyang and Seoul were breached. Beginning on the night of August 8, the Japanese army killed about 400,000 civilians in two places in a matter of days! A horrific massacre of the peninsula was created!

The first to respond to the order was Hidera Obata entrenched in Pyongyang. After leaving two divisions and executing the "rioters", he personally led five divisions, including the 10th Army, to pour out of the nest, and also let the 1st Chariot Division, known as the ace of the Imperial Army, storm Ruixing, trying to open up the retreat route and flank Kaesong to rescue the besieged Seoul.

The Japanese army is probably the most peculiar army in the world, perhaps it is reluctant to be afraid, or perhaps it is because the theory of the decisive battle between the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War is deep-rooted, so it always likes to talk about "decisive battle" and "broken jade", and always likes to engage in some so-called "decisive battle weapons" and "decisive battle troops". Just like the navy, before the Yamato-class battleships came out, the Nagato-class was known as the weapon of the town, and after the Yamato-class came out, it replaced Nagato as the "decisive weapon", and even such a major battle as the Keirama naval battle was reluctant to use it.

The Army also has one such "decisive battle unit", which is the 1st Tank Division.

The 1st Tank Division was reorganized from the 1st Tank Regiment, which was the oldest in the Japanese army, and all of them were tank soldiers with the most experience and the best quality. At the beginning of its formation, it also combined the establishment of Japanese divisions and Chinese armored divisions. The division has two tank brigades, and each brigade has two tank wings. Each tank wing has 48 tanks and a motorized infantry battalion, and the motorized infantry battalion has 62 light and heavy machine guns, 32 grenadiers, 16 Type 92 70mm infantry guns, 12 Type 47mm anti-tank guns, 2 flame weapons, and 130 trucks for each brigade to travel. In this way, the division had a total of 216 tanks, and most of them were the best Type 97 medium tanks.

Don't look at how the Japanese Army has no money and how it is affected by the lack of resources, but the Army Special High Division led by Kenji Dohihara has been silently spying on the intelligence of the old opponent. As early as 1934, after learning that the Chinese Army began to equip the Type 31 tank in batches, the Japanese army realized that its light tanks could not deal with medium tanks, so it immediately canceled the development of the Type 95 tank at that time. Due to the lack of technical reserves, it finally turned to Moscow. Stalin considered the need to contain China, so he gave part of the technology of the T26 tank, and then Japan imported diesel engines from Germany, and finally finalized the Type 97 medium tank in 1937.

Unlike the historical Type 97, the current Type 97 is more like the historical Type 3 medium tank. With a total weight of 18 tons, it uses a 75 mm cannon of the L31 type, which has a muzzle velocity of about 680 m / s and a depth of 90 mm of homogeneous steel plate within 100 meters. Judging from the actual combat effectiveness, it has reached the standard of the German No. 3 J tank. At the level of that year, in addition to being inferior to the Type 31, it was still very good. But at that time, the Japanese Navy was dreaming of dominating the Pacific Ocean, and almost swallowed up all its resources, and as a result, after two years of arguing between land and sea, mass production began in early 1939. Because of internal friction, less than 800 were built before the Rainbow Bombing, and the total number of tanks was only 2,600, which was half less than in parallel worlds.

After the outbreak of the war, the tank technology of various countries has advanced by leaps and bounds, especially the long body tube and tilt set off by China and the Soviet Union, which has a far-reaching impact. The Type 97, which is still using vertical armor and riveting technology, is actually seriously outdated, but the Japanese army, which is in East Asia and almost does not know the military technology of the outside world, still holds the "decisive battle" mentality, thinking that the first tank division and the Type 97 tank are the decisive forces, so they have been huddled in Pyongyang and have not participated in any battles. If it weren't for the Japanese rule in Korea this time, Hidera Obata would probably be reluctant to use it.

Although the Japanese army had strange ideas, Kenji Dohihara's intelligence work was still good, and he knew that the Type 97 could not defeat the Type 36 "Siberian Tiger" main battle tank. I also know that there are not many "Siberian Tigers" fighting in North Korea, there are 2 regiments in the north, and the south is concentrated in the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, 37th and 104th Armored Divisions of the Zhuofan cluster, and the rest of the troops are Type 31, as for the T34 equipped by the Russian army, it is not counted.

Lieutenant General An Gang Wuchen, the commander of the division, thought that the Type 31 was only a little heavier than the Type 97, but the caliber of the artillery was small, and it should be a comparable tank. Therefore, in the face of the 2nd Airborne Division of the Wehrmacht stationed in Ruixing and a Type 31 armored battalion, he was full of confidence. "The paratroopers are lightly armed, with only some light artillery, order Yutian-kun to attack immediately!" When Yasuoka Taketomi, who thought he knew the strength of his opponent, arrived, he immediately ordered an attack.

"Attack!" After receiving the order, Nakata Yoshiho Osa of the 1st Tank Wing immediately launched an attack with his 6 ** and 42 Type 97 tanks.

"Hehe, that's it?" The Japanese army's dense armored impact formation made Ye Zishan almost laugh.

Accustomed to the Sino-Soviet armored breakthrough tactics, he couldn't laugh or cry. Judging from the formation, the Japanese army did not understand what armored tactics were at all, and actually lined up dozens of tanks in a row, lacking in-depth protection. The combination of infantry and tank is even more of a mess, the tanks are parallel, the infantry is also parallel, and there are no self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the back. If this were in Central Asia, the air force alone would have been able to annihilate them completely.

Ye Zishan's judgment was not wrong, and before the Second Airborne Division could make a move, eight H-10 attack planes rushed from Kaesong to cross the artillery fire area and use 16 aircraft armor-piercing shells to tell the Japanese tank battle how to fight. "Boom, boom." Hundreds of submunitions popped out of the shells, and the bombs with a hollow charge that could penetrate the 30-millimeter average steel plate destroyed 13 Type 97 tanks in an instant.

This super-dense attack even frightened Nakata Yoshiho for a minute before howling like a beast to let the tank continue to charge.

But the H-10 "bomb truck" with eight hardpoints and an internal magazine was not called for nothing, and after the bomb bomb went around in a circle, he began to use rockets, 40mm rapid-fire guns and four 12.7mm machine guns to make him understand what a saturation ground strike is. By the time the H-10 squadron left, there were only 7 tanks left in the 1st Wing, and hundreds of infantry were killed and wounded.

Not long after the Air Force left, naval dive bombers summoned by the Second Airborne Division arrived one after another. Although the dive bombers did not have the bomb load of the H-10, they were superior in number, and the 250-kilogram high-explosive bombs set off a sea of fire one after another in the 1st Tank Division, and the so-called "decisive battle" division was destroyed by nearly half of the aircraft before it saw the enemy.

The face of Angang Wuchen, who was still arrogant before, turned green, and then he knew why the Soviet army, which had more than 20,000 tanks before the war, was so completely defeated in Central Asia! In the face of this kind of air-ground integrated saturation strike, there is nowhere to escape! "Rush over, you must rush over!" Angang Wuchen, who completely messed up the rules, completely became gamblers, and as soon as the dive bombers left, they pressed all the remaining more than 100 tanks.

North Korea is not Central Asia, the complex mountainous environment, even Zhuo Fan had to disassemble the heavy troops into battalions and regiments to use, so his tank fighting bayonet tactics is completely suicidal. Sure enough, the tank battalion stationed in Ruixing had not yet been dispatched, and the 85-mm anti-tank guns deployed on the high ground by the Second Airborne Division were destroyed again and again, telling him that even if there was no air force, Ruixing would not be able to break through so easily.

As mentioned above, in order to simplify logistics, the Type 36 main battle tank and the towed 85 mm anti-tank gun are the same model, in order to enhance the power, not only the design ideas of the famous British 25/17-pounder gun, but also the large charge of 105 mm short shells to achieve extremely strong armor-piercing ability. When using high-speed tungsten bullets to hit 30-degree inclined armor, it reaches 133 mm at 1000 meters, and if you use the armor-piercing shells that are being tested, it can reach 202 mm, even if you use ordinary armor fragmentation shells, it is enough to ensure the destruction of 50 mm vertical armor on the front of the Type 97 within 1000 meters. The only drawback is that the cartridge is too large, it is easy to be exposed when shooting, and it has a low life span due to severe wear. However, during the world war, when power was the first priority and the military expenditure was large, this kind of flaw was not worth mentioning at all, so the army had long spread it to the whole army.

A powerful anti-tank gun that has been tested in actual combat and improved many times encounters an armored unit that is regarded as a treasure and is usually reluctant to pull it out and has not fought a tank battle so far, and the result can be imagined. Especially after the use of armor fragmentation shells, many of the Type 97 were obviously uninjured on the outside, but the tank crews inside were ground into a pulp and suddenly stopped, so that the infantry behind them could not figure out the situation at all, and they were unknowingly exposed to fire and killed by shells and machine guns. Even if some were lucky enough to get close, they were destroyed by the Airborne Forces with 84-mm recoilless guns.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the 1st Tank Division was completely annihilated under the integrated saturation attack of the open and ground, and Angang Wuchen was also killed on the spot. "All the jade shattered?" After receiving the news, Hidera Obata who led the main force to follow behind his hands trembled.

That's the "decisive division" of the Japanese Empire!

"Tonight is the last chance! Use our assault tactics to make use of the night to rush through! Seshima Ryuzo, who deliberately ran from Seoul to Pyongyang to supervise the battle, was quite calm, gritting his teeth and reminding Hidera Obata.

"Order the 22nd Division and the 114th Division to attack! Must rush over! Open the passage back to Seoul. Hidera Obata also knew that the firepower of aircraft and heavy artillery would drop a lot at night, and the tanks would also converge for fear of accidental damage. If you can't get through tonight, when the enemy discovers that Pyongyang is empty tomorrow morning, and reinforces Ruixing attacks before and after, more than 100,000 men and horses of his five divisions will all die here.

When later generations evaluated the Japanese Army, there was a very classic saying, called "Success is also Nogi Noshinori, defeat is also Nogi Noshinori". Before the 203 heights, Nogi Noshinori showed the world Japan's tenacity and tenacity, but it also exposed the weakness of the Japanese army's rigidity and rigidity. To this day, when encountering difficulties or suppressing tactics, most Japanese army officers will unconsciously become Nogi Noshinori in front of the 203 Heights. On this night, Hidera Obata also showed the "essence" of Nogi's attack, like a red-eyed gambler who lost every time he was repulsed, he simply organized artillery cover shots, and then let the infantry charge again, over and over again.

But he forgot that on the 203 heights of that year, the Russian army had only a few Makqin machine guns in total, and although the Second Airborne Division in front of him was a lightly armed army, there were more than 100 general-purpose machine guns alone, as well as dozens of 107-mm rocket launchers and mortars. What's more, since the beginning of the year, all three airborne divisions have been equipped with H37 assault rifles, which are 6.5 mm automatic rifles designed with the 81 bar and Type 03 rifles of later generations, and are more powerful than the crooked light machine guns.

The 2nd Airborne Division, which faced the Cossack cavalry and the Soviet armored pigs at Lake Balkhash without blinking, showed the tenacity of the airborne troops, leaving behind nearly 10,000 Japanese corpses at the cost of thousands of dead and wounded on this bloody and crazy night. So much so that when the sun rose again, I found that there were so many corpses outside Ruixing City and on the nearby high ground that they blocked the sight of the shooting!!

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, two infantry divisions rushed from Kaesong to support him, so Obata Hidera completely lost the opportunity, so he had no choice but to flee into the central mountains with his troops under the indiscriminate bombardment of more than 100 H-5 bombers and naval dive bombers.

After learning that Hidera Obata had been repulsed and fled into the mountains, Zhuo Fan immediately asked the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 104th Armored Division, and the 147th and 177th Infantry Divisions to replace the Russian army, which had been unsuccessful for many days, and launched a fierce attack on Bukhan Mountain. As the top master of armored tactics in the Wehrmacht, he once again used his skills in using a variety of armored vehicle combinations, abandoning the traditional tactic of preparing artillery fire before attacking, and mobilized 24 1940-mm tracked barrier-breaking rocket launchers used in Samarkand, 36 "Gonggong" multi-purpose engineering tanks and 48 UZP26/76 assault guns of the DPRK army, and mixed them into the armored assault regiment.

The commander of Bukhansan, Gu Shoufu, did not know anything about this adjustment, and still followed the tactics of dealing with the Russian army's U-series armored vehicles, first putting tanks closer, and then filling them with human lives, trying to continue the suicide tactics of exchanging one person for one vehicle. But he soon tasted the bitterness, in the face of the "Siberian Tiger", which was more difficult to deal with than the U-series armored vehicles, the anti-tank gun in his hand did not work at all, and even the Type 92 105-mm cannon could not penetrate the frontal armor of the "Siberian Tiger". The "Siberian Tigers" that were crushed all the way also aroused the desperate determination of the Japanese army as Zhuo Fan expected, seeing that their positions were constantly being broken through, the Japanese soldiers who had long been killed with red eyes became more and more incessant to command, and many people rushed out of the hidden positions as soon as they saw the tanks, trying to die together. But they didn't know that Zhuo Fan was already tired of the wooded Beihan Mountain, and he was already waiting for them to expose themselves.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers jumped out of those unobservable positions and bunkers, the tanks and infantry in front would immediately call for barrier-breaking rocket launchers and assault guns hiding behind, and then they would fire wildly at the positions they had jumped from. In particular, the 75-kilogram 300-mm barrier-breaking rocket is as powerful as a 203-mm grenade, and can easily destroy exposed bunkers and trenches.

The huge mushroom clouds that rose one after another made Gu Shoufu no longer dare to attack, so he could only strictly order the troops to hide and release cold guns. After suppressing the maggot-like "meat bullets" of tarsal bones, the "Gonggong" multi-purpose engineering tank modified with the "Siberian Tiger" chassis took over the battlefield, and its thick armor, huge bulldozer blade, 12-point 7-mm heavy machine gun and the most terrible flamethrower swept over and over the area where the Japanese might have been hidden. This kind of flame tens of meters long is very terrifying, after spewing out, the sparks will drift away with the wind, as long as they fall on the body, they cannot be extinguished at all. The tragic death of his companions crushed the confidence of the Japanese army in Bukhansan Mountain, and no matter how tenacious the troops were, they could not remain calm in the face of such a monster. Screams and cries drifted over the mountains, and the Japanese soldiers running frantically everywhere became live targets for machine guns, and in just seven hours of attack, the defense line of Bukhansan, where two divisions were stationed, completely collapsed.

The capture of Bukhansan Mountain means pulling out the last fig leaf of Seoul. In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuo Fan mobilized 22 210-mm heavy self-propelled howitzers and climbed to the southern foot of Bukhansan Mountain to shell Seoul, 16 kilometers away. The condescending shells sounded the death knell in Seoul, the largest and most densely populated city on the peninsula, finally covered by the guns of the Wehrmacht.

Not only that, but as an officer who never sticks to the rules, he especially doesn't like the kind of officer who gathers tens of thousands of cannons and puts on a posture to fight a general attack. As soon as he learned about the occupation of Bukhansan Mountain, he realized the importance of speed, so he understood that He Zihua led the Night Tiger Battalion and a motorized infantry regiment to protect 3 rocket artillery regiments, and followed the defeated Japanese army all the way to attack the Uijung.

Gu Shoufu didn't expect Zhuo Fan to be so bold, he actually dared to throw tanks at night and fight with the elite Japanese infantry in the city, and thought that the opponent had made a mistake, so he was overjoyed and immediately gathered his soldiers to organize a new defense line around the parliamentary government. Located in the northern part of the Seoul city area, about 13 kilometers from the Han River, Uijeong was the highest administrative body of the Lee dynasty. But with the annexation of the Lee dynasty by Japan, it was now useless, and the center of power in Seoul was moved to the Japanese Governor's Palace and the Namsan Underground Fortress in the downtown area.

The government is surrounded by a low old town, which is relatively narrow, so Tani thinks it is the best place to ambush tanks. But he miscalculated again, after learning that the Japanese army had redeployed the defensive line around the Ui government, the bold and careful He Zihua deliberately let the vehicle-mounted rocket artillery regiment drag behind, and then used the night combat ability of the "Night Tiger" to constantly attack the weak points of the Japanese army, drill in and out of the defense line of the Ui government, and finally deliberately pretended to make a mistake and drilled into the most densely populated place of the Japanese army.

The defense line composed of tens of thousands of people, the chaotic streets of the old city, could not trap dozens of tanks, and even Itakami Seishiro was furious. Gu Shoufu was even more annoyed and asked the troops to compress He Zihua's activity area regardless of the casualties. Just as the Japanese army was gradually shrinking the encirclement, He Zihua and the night battalion quickly hid in some dead corners, then closed all hatches, put on gas masks, and sealed the observation windows with cotton cloth and clothes. Wait until everything is ready, and finally radio call the rocket artillery behind to fire.

The Japanese army, who knew nothing, did not know that He Zihua actually dared to use himself as a bait, and when they saw dozens of "night tigers" hiding in Tibet like headless flies that kept turning and slowing down, they thought that they had lost their way, so they rushed from all directions with explosives bags and cluster grenades in a roaring and screaming with excitement. But just when they thought they could achieve the feat of destroying a night tiger camp for the first time, a dazzling orange light, brighter than a meteor, suddenly pierced the dark night sky. In just one minute, 144 vehicles of 32-barreled 130-millimeter vehicle-mounted rocket launchers rained 4,608 anti-personnel rockets from seven kilometers away around the parliamentary government. The short, rapid fire attack brought the power of rocket artillery into full play, comparable to the power of two thousand heavy guns firing at the same time, and instantly set off a storm of steel.

Dense exploding fireballs, like boiling magma, flowed everywhere on the earth, tens of thousands of fragments swirled and flew in the air, unscrupulous reaper lives, pieces of houses were pushed by the explosion, and the ground under their feet trembled in the explosion. Even the tank crews sitting in the night tiger closed their eyes tightly, holding the objects around them tightly, feeling the increasingly high temperature around them. There were no screams, no shouts, except for the continuous explosions, He Zihua and his comrades-in-arms could not hear anything.

After waiting for half an hour, waiting for the two rounds of scheduled rocket coverage to be completed, and no longer hearing the sound of explosions, He Zishan opened the hatch only to find that the entire block had collapsed, and thousands of Japanese corpses were lying in the sea of fire, making a crackling sound. In the collapsed rubble, there were also broken arms and torsos, and some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to die were so frightened that when they saw the tank hatch open, they ran backwards in fright without firing a shot. After the statistics, it was learned that He Zishan's rocket attack with his own decoy achieved miraculous results, and 1,600 Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot and more than 3,000 were injured. However, because of the high defensive strength of the tank itself, the early hiding in the dead corner, and the insufficient power of the fragmentation rockets in the face of armor penetration, the price paid was minimal. In addition to the exposed night vision devices and roof machine guns, only three vehicles were damaged by direct rocket hits, and one was damaged by the cement blocks of a collapsed house, killing two people and injuring 11 others, most of whom were slightly injured.

Although it worked wonders, his tactic was later labeled "not to be used unless necessary" by the General Staff.

From the capture of Bukhansan Mountain in the afternoon to the capture of Uijeong, which is only 13 kilometers from the city center, in the evening, Zhuo Fan once again demonstrated his superb command skills in the armored advance battle.

With the takedown of the parliamentary government, Seoul has been completely open to his armored clusters.
