Chapter 380: The decisive battle on the Yalu River
Although Shirakawa Yoshinori kept yelling and cursing in his command tunnel, this did not help the facts at all!
Before Shirakawa Yoshinori could ask anything, he saw Fujita Susumu struggling to get up and bowing deeply to Shirakawa Yoshinori! "Commander-in-chief, our artillery positions are under attack by enemy artillery!" Almost all artillery and artillery, garrisons suffered heavy losses......"
Shirakawa Yoshinori was still in a daze, but when he heard Fujita Susuru's words, his eyes couldn't help but straighten! After a while, he trembled and pressed the corner of the table, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who...... Who knows how they knew about our artillery positions ?! Didn't we transfer the artillery positions ?! ”
Fujita Susumu heard Shirakawa Yoshinori's words, and was silent for a while and continued, "Yes! Your Excellency Commander, we have long been ordered to transfer the artillery positions to the predetermined positions after the shelling. But...... I don't know why the enemy discovered our new gun emplacements and carried out devastating shelling of our artillery......"
"Red Okanoro!! That's not what I want to know!! Then I saw Shirakawa Yoshinori's fierce "Bang!" He slammed his fist on the table and screamed at Fujita Shin, "What I want to know is how they can know about our gun position!?" Damn it! What the hell is going on?! How the hell did our intelligence leak out?! Bastard!! ”
However, no one answered Shirakawa Yoshinori's words. After the artillery position that was prepared at that time, Shirakawa Yoshinori and the artillery commander Jun Ozawa knew, but now Jun Ozawa did not come, and it was Fujita Shin who came. Then it means that Jun Ozawa may no longer be there.
Just when Shirakawa Yoshinori was furious, the battle had slowly ended under the morning sun. The Japanese fighters in the air were lost, and the corpses and stumps floating on the river already explained the outcome of the battle.
The artillery was all lost, and those troop carriers were reduced to debris on the river! With blood and corpses, they continued to drift along the river, or they were washed onto the riverbank.
Under the rising sun, this Yalu River is a sunset and apocalyptic scene! The battlefield was full of fire-breathing warplanes, and the river was full of bloody corpses. As the gunfire gradually subsided, there was a burst of cheers from the Wehrmacht's position!
But under the corpses on the river, this cheer seemed so harsh to the Japanese army!! Lie down!! The Japanese soldiers who tried to collect their corpses screamed and fell to the ground, and then the entire Japanese position was enveloped in artillery fire!
"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" The Japanese positions were full of sorrow, because the Japanese army did not expect that the Wehrmacht would counterattack themselves! It was that there were not many fortifications built on the position, but simply some position tunnels to prevent the Wehrmacht's counterattack.
At this time, the Wehrmacht directly bombarded the positions of the Japanese army with heavy artillery, which caused great casualties! Countless Japanese soldiers continued to wail under the artillery fire, and then were tragically torn into fragments mixed with dirt by this crazy artillery fire.
Fragments of artillery shells flew all over the sky, and although most of the Japanese troops were already lying on the ground, their losses were still extremely heavy! There are constantly Japanese troops thrown up by the shock wave of artillery shells! Then the stumps and broken corpses fell to the ground.
And while this frantic shelling was going on, the Japanese airfield was raided! Under the cover of the sound of artillery, the officers and men of the Wehrmacht reconnaissance battalion organized the amateur soldiers of the "Korean Patriotic Regiment" to raid the Japanese airfield!
Having just experienced a major battle, the morale of both the fighter pilots and the garrison squadrons at the airfield was extremely low. And after hearing the shelling from the position, their faces were even more sad.
I have to say that the time chosen by the reconnaissance battalion is extremely accurate! After the shelling began, the Korean Patriotic Regiment, under the command of the reconnaissance battalion, took advantage of the sound of explosions to cover up the Japanese airfield and launched a charge!
And the Japanese squadron guarding the airport is only more than 300 people, which is counted as the strength of a reinforced squadron! If it is a normal attack, this squadron can completely resist the attack of the Korean Patriotic Regiment.
It's a pity that they were faced with reconnaissance battalions armed with mortars! And the machine-gun positions exposed by them have long been marked, and the mortar guns were terminated at the beginning of the attack of the Korean Patriotic Regiment!
"Kill!!" Pu Zhen held a flower trap given to him by the reconnaissance battalion, and fiercely shot at the Japanese soldiers on the position......!
The elite of the Japanese army was really not covered, and the Korean Patriotic Regiment organized a total of more than 700 people, but they were directly knocked down by the Japanese army on the way to attack, and nearly 200 people were directly knocked down by the Japanese army!
Eliminate the few remnants of the Japanese heavy firepower after the shelling one by one!
Tu Qianjun had already moved to the position of the 157th Regiment at this time, looked at the messy Japanese position that was strafed by bombers with binoculars, and sneered: "Third Army!" Attack now! Don't say that Lao Tzu treated them badly and didn't give them meat to eat! These Japanese soldiers are the best meat! Give Lao Tzu a bite to eat him!! ”
"Yes!!" Tian Fatzi, who was standing beside Tu Qianjun, responded excitedly, and then rushed out of the temporary command tunnel and shouted angrily at the soldiers of the Third Army outside: "Cross the river with Lao Tzu!" Grandma's legs! The commander gave us meat to eat, and if we couldn't eat it, we hit the wall and died!! ”
With Tian Jixiang's roar, the boats hidden on the shore were pushed out one after another! Then I saw the soldiers of the Third Army rushing towards the Yalu River with the steel guns in their hands in their hands in silence! Kill the Japanese position!
At this time, there was a panic on the Japanese position. Under the bombing of the Wehrmacht Air Force and the attack of fighter jets, these Japanese troops completely lost the confidence to resist. The light and heavy machine guns, which were originally left after the shelling, were directly lost under the removal of the apex of the fighters!
And by the rising sun, they could see a large number of Wehrmacht boats constantly rushing towards the riverbank! But they had no way to organize an effective defense under the strafing of fighter jets!
"Red Okanoro!! All in position! Resist! It is necessary to withstand the attack of the Chinese troops!! I saw the commander of the 20th Division on the position, Kaji Chamber, roaring at the soldiers around him with red eyes!
But all the Japanese soldiers seemed to have been drained of their souls, and they wandered around in despair. The losses in this battle were too great a blow for them, and even from the earlier offensive to the present the entire division has not won even once!
The successive defeats have already made this division lose its soul! Now, all they have left is a shell of sorrow. However, their opponent, the Third Army, which crossed the river and charged, was full of anger!
From the beginning of the war to the present, the Third Army has not fought a really decent battle at all ()! This made the entire Third Army hold a fire in their hearts, they were composed of troops who had fought hard with the Soviet army during the Battle of Harbin! How can you not fight a tough battle?!
And now that the commander has given them a chance to fight a tough battle, how can they be worthy of the task that the commander asked for with a shy face if they don't go up and clean up those dead people?!
Therefore, compared with the loss of the fighting spirit of the Japanese army, the entire Third Army is simply burning with a fighting spirit, which is almost explosive! Comparing the two sides, the Japanese army, which had fallen behind, did not organize any effective resistance at all.
Even some Japanese soldiers who mustered up the courage to prepare for positional warfare were immediately discovered by fighter jets and directly swept into a piece of minced meat on the position! So, under the cover of fighters, the Third Army successfully landed on the other side of the Yalu River!
The Third Army, which was already familiar with the war, directly set up heavy machine guns at the beginning of disembarkation, and fired at the Japanese positions in a burst of "sudden ......"! And those soldiers who rushed off the ship were fiercely facing the Japanese position!
According to the habit of the old fourth battalion, they finally took the lead with submachine guns and the broadsword team killed them! In three or two strokes, they broke through the Japanese positions that had lost their fighting spirit!
At this time, Shirakawa Yoshinori, who was originally commanding the tunnel at the front, had a sad face! Under the escort of the guards, he and the commanders of the divisions at all levels slowly left the second-line position! They retreated to new positions built by the 9th and 10th Divisions.
They knew that even if they redeployed divisions and regiments, they would not be able to resist the attack of the Third Army in this situation. Rather than this, it is better to retreat directly to the newly constructed position......
More than an hour later, the Japanese positions on the banks of the Yalu River were completely occupied by the Third Army with the assistance of the Air Force! The 20th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the position was completely annihilated! The division commander Kanetji was killed on the spot!
The Japanese retreated to the new positions constructed by the 9th and 10th Divisions, and that's it! The Battle of the Yalu River is over! The two sides have entered a stalemate! It's not that the army doesn't want to continue fighting, but at this time, the Mongolian People's Army in Outer Mongolia has already begun to fight with the garrison troops!
