Chapter 1129: The Third Korean Campaign (I)

The Wehrmacht moved too fast, and Rì Ben reacted too slowly. By the time Yamamoto Isoroku and Ishihara realized the deception, the Wehrmacht fleet was already approaching Incheon, Korea.

That's right, it's Incheon! In later history, the U.S. military once turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop with the Inchon landing in the Peninsula War. World War I cut off the rear route of the Korean army, thus shattering the Korean forces at that time.

This example of war gave a great shock to all countries at that time. In fact, landing in Incheon has been brewing in Tu Mengben's heart for a long time. If the 38th parallel is attacked, the losses will be immeasurable.

Tu Mengben did not want his soldiers to be wasted in this kind of battle with the Rì army, and attacked the position established by Rì himself, which was a last resort.

And Rì Ben concentrated most of his troops and attention on the 38th parallel. The biggest reason for this is that they think their navy is strong enough. If the Wehrmacht launches a landing operation, it is, first of all, a question of the transport capacity of the Navy.

The second is the issue of the Navy's combat capability. In the view of Rìben at the time, it was simply impossible for the Wehrmacht to launch a landing operation. What they didn't expect was that the tiger was already staring at Incheon......

"Quick! Assemble now!! The 5th Division formed a position, and the 13th and 28th Divisions immediately assembled to attack Seoul!! Ho Van Wu, commander of the Wehrmacht Marine Corps, roared loudly and directed the troops on the beach to quickly assemble.

There wasn't much time left for the Wehrmacht, and Umezu Mijiro would soon react. Although the 38th parallel is tight, he will certainly try to wait for someone to counterattack the landing force of the Wehrmacht.

Now the Wehrmacht must take Seoul as quickly as possible. Then step by step, the rear line of the Rì army was completely cut off. There are many things to do, including seizing airfields, capturing important towns, and cutting off supply lines for the Rì army...... Wait a minute.

"The only advantage we have now is distance!" He Wenwu pointed to the map in a makeshift tent on the beach and said, "We are on the battlefield in Kaesong. It is more than 50 kilometers away from Seoul. And Incheon, where we are now, is only about 30 kilometers away from Seoul. The distance is more than 20 kilometers less! ”

"Therefore, the 13th and 28th Marine Divisions will march forcibly as soon as they are assembled, and it is imperative to occupy Seoul within three hours! At the same time control of Seoul Airport ......"

The order was issued, and countless Wehrmacht soldiers began to assemble and set off. On the outskirts of Incheon, positions began to be built in preparation to prevent the Rì Army from counterattacking its own landing site.

"Dada...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" and at the same time, Rì according to the Korean Peninsula in Icheon, Chūn Kawa, Cheonan, Gongju, Yeongju...... And so on in the same area there were also large-scale battles at the same time.

The guerrillas planted by Kim Jiu in Rì Korea and the small detachment sent to Rì Korea by the National Defense Forces through smuggling began to fight in tandem. Empty county seats. They easily occupy it.

It is only a defensive force formed by some squads and squadrons, and there is no way to resist the attack of these troops. Overnight, the entire North Korea was in an emergency!

"Red Deer Noro! When the hell did these goddamn bastards get in?! Why doesn't the secret service have any news at all?! Umezu Mijiro scolded on the march. Seoul had already sent him a telegram.

Now the whole of Korea is in chaos, and smoke is everywhere. The Wehrmacht seized the virtually unguarded city of Incheon, and then landed more than 30,000 troops heading for Seoul.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?! The Wehrmacht troops were already less than twenty kilometers outside Seoul. Nakasa Komori, the captain of the Seoul garrison brigade, is asking for tactical assistance......"

And Lieutenant General Iimura, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, said in a deep voice: "I have already reported the situation to the base camp. There is no response from the base camp side for the time being......"

Umezu Mijiro's face was rather ugly, and no one knew better than him that the base camp was temporarily unable to provide support to North Korea. The Empire's largest reliance, the Combined Fleet of the Navy, has been sent to Iwo Jima.

And the mainland is only garrisoned by some old-fashioned warships. For the sake of the security of the homeland, it was certainly impossible for Hirohito to send this fleet to assist North Korea in the war.

Even if Hirohito gritted his teeth and sent the fleet out, it would not necessarily be able to do much damage to the Wehrmacht. If the Combined Fleet is still there, the Combined Fleet of the Wehrmacht Navy can only retreat.

Unfortunately, even if the old fleet came to support, by the time they arrived, the war would have been irreversible. And in front of the Wehrmacht Naval Combined Fleet, those old battleships are not much different from living targets without the protection of shore defense guns and warplanes.

Chen Shaokuan suddenly felt that he was a little overkill. He and the Combined Fleet came to Inchon full of excitement, but Rì himself couldn't resist at all.

Jin Jiu's guerrillas and the Wehrmacht's infiltration squad had already marked several forts and fortifications of the Rì Army, and almost everything on them had been destroyed in just half an hour's shelling.

And not even waiting for the landing force to attack. The guerrillas and the detachments had already taken all the positions where there were only two squads.

Chen Shaokuan was very helpless to find that this was really a battle without too much technical content. It's not even as intense as the time of Joan Island.

"Let the reconnaissance plane take off and monitor the movements of the Rì Army near the 38th parallel. Fighter planes are ready to take off at any time to meet the enemy......" Chen Shaokuan gave a few orders in his bridge command room, and then looked at the brightly lit beach in a daze.

More than 30,000 Wehrmacht marines have landed, and they have landed extremely quickly on Qiong Island. Now the ship has begun to sail back towards Jiao Island.

There are still hundreds of thousands of troops waiting to be transported.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! The artillery fire ...... raging outside Seoul, and the captain of the Seoul garrison brigade, Suzuna Komori, felt sad in his heart.

As early as the seizure of Incheon by the Wehrmacht, he had already sent a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation. The team of dozens of people eventually crawled back to Seoul with less than three people.

The news they brought back made Reina Komori almost desperate. At least 20,000 or more troops of the National Defense Forces are heading towards Seoul, which is now less than twenty kilometers away.

And not long after Reina Komori sent the news to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, the Wehrmacht troops arrived on the outskirts of Seoul.

didn't say a word of greeting, and directly bombarded Seoul indiscriminately.

"Since Rong, Komori has always taken the duties of the emperor as his own responsibility. To be able to join the Kwantung Army, Komori felt deeply honored. To be able to fight with you is the glory of Komori......"

"However, more than 20,000 enemies have arrived in Seoul with a large number of heavy artillery. Our troops have the will to resist, but they have no power to fight back. The matter has come to this point, and Komori can only lead my brigade to fight to the end with the thought of broken jade......"

This is Reina Komori's farewell message, and Umezu Mijiro's face was scary when he saw this farewell message. At this time, he led a support force, which was at least thirty kilometers away from Seoul.

When he came out, Umezu Mijiro had already taken into account the local security pressure in North Korea, so he only took the reserves with him, and did not transfer the local garrison squads, squadrons, and brigades.

But even so, the defense of the whole of North Korea has been weakened a lot for a while. This gave Jin Jiu's guerrillas an opportunity to take advantage of, and at the same time, it also led to a situation in which the various units were unable to support after the landing battle.

"Return to the 38th parallel, don't go to Seoul......" Umezu Mijiro pinched the telegram and said in a deep voice: "Order the troops, immediately withdraw to the bunker group outside the 38th parallel...... Order all the fighters to take off and transfer to the airfield of the 38th parallel......"

"Your Excellency Commander, won't we save Seoul and other towns?!" Iimura frowned and said to Umezu Mijiro, "If you give up these towns like this......"

"If we don't give up, then we will face the threat of being annihilated!" Umezu Mijiro said coldly: "The situation is obvious, the Wehrmacht has been planning for this operation for a long time, and now the only possibility for us to stand out is to be blocked by them and then surrounded." Even...... Annihilation! ”

"Only by relying on the 38th parallel, they can do nothing about us!" Umezu Mijiro took a deep breath and said, "Now the only thing we rely on is the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy. ”

"As long as the Combined Fleet wins the Battle of Iwo Jima, we will come back to our aid and then cooperate in the operation. It's not impossible to get North Korea back. But if we are surrounded and annihilated. Then there will not even be a chance in the future......"

Umezu Mijiro's words silenced Iimura.

"I'll draw up the telegram from the base camp. Now immediately command the troops to withdraw to the 38th parallel, and all the fighters will also be transferred. Order all departments to shrink and maintain a state of alert with the 38th parallel as the boundary......"

Soon, all the Rì troops marching towards Seoul received orders and began to slowly withdraw towards the 38th parallel. At the same time, Umezu Mijiro's decision was also placed on the desk in the conference room of the headquarters of the Rì Honki Imperial Headquarters in Tokyo.

"Umezu's decision is correct, and I think it's a wise choice to abandon Seoul now......" Ishihara looked at the telegram and said angrily: "The Kwantung Army of North Korea is currently the sharpest force we have in the field. If they lose, or if they get hit hard, it will be a big blow to us......"

"Your Excellency Ishihara, are we just giving up on Seoul......" A staff officer's voice trembled a little, and North Korea has always been regarded as his pride. It was a punch and a kick they struck.

snatched from the Qing Empire, which was more powerful than them at that time. There, rì himself has been ruling for decades. And now, are you going to give up?!

"We are not giving up now, but temporarily shrinking our defense and waiting for the next opportunity to attack...... Ishihara Wan'er glanced at everyone and said: "People, when you have fear, you should have vision, you must discern, you must recognize the gains and losses of things... (To be continued......)
