Chapter 469: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves

PS: Thank you for the evaluation votes cast by the book friend "Look at the Sea Happy Chest" and the monthly votes voted by the book friends "Mr. Wuliu 888" and "Uncle Zhang", and ask for recommendation votes ^_^ again

Before the Korean War, military strategists on Shijie generally believed that the terrain of the Korean Peninsula was mostly mountainous and hilly in the north, and some plains in the south were densely populated with rice fields, and some old-fashioned bridges could not withstand the weight of tanks, so they were not suitable for armored forces. However, after the outbreak of the Korean War, more than 200 T34 tanks in the Korean People's Military Region actually took advantage of that narrow "corridor" to drive straight in, first took the crucial Imjin River Bridge, and then captured Seoul, the capital of South Korea, in one go, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the completely stunned South Korean army and the US army all the way to the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula. In addition, MacArthur's unexpected landing at Inchon cut off the logistical supply lines of the front-line troops of the Korean People's Army, so there was no need for volunteers to go to Korea to participate in the war later

There are such ready-made examples here, Hu Weidong is naturally happy to follow suit, and the Ma Zhongying armored cavalry division, which has been entrusted with heavy tasks, has done a better job than the armored units of the Korean People's Army in history, and they have driven more than 1,000 kilometers in less than 10 days to beat the hundreds of thousands of "Korean army" (not the Korean puppet army, but the genuine Japanese army, which belongs to the "general army" level and is at the same level as the Kwantung Army, and almost all of them were wiped out in less than a month after its establishment). The follow-up troops basically do not need to fight any tough battles. Just speed up and catch up with the captives

But this is a matter of course, first of all, today's armored cavalry division is no longer Wuxia Amun, with a total of more than 500 tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, although medium tanks are basically captured or repaired devil medium tanks, and their performance is not as good as that of equipped T34/85 medium tanks (although the Japanese tanks in this time and space are much more advanced than in history, but there is still a significant gap compared with classic models like T34/85). However, the armored cavalry division is equipped with more complete types of armored vehicles and is more reasonably equipped, and the armored cavalry division is not the main force of medium tanks, and the latest modification of the Type 81 light tank they are equipped with is not inferior to an excellent medium tank like the T34 in terms of frontal protection capability. And most importantly, the armored cavalry divisions are equipped with a much larger total number of armored vehicles than the historical armored units of the Korean People's Army

Meantime. Compared with Ma Zhongying, an unborn genius in cavalry warfare and armored warfare. The commander-in-chief of the armored forces of the Korean People's Army, who is unknown in history, cannot be compared at all, which can also be seen from the tactical quality of the two armies, and the tactical flexibility of the armored cavalry division is unparalleled in the world (but compared with the armored forces, there is no unit that can compare the tactical flexibility of light infantry with the cross-branch). )。 This resulted in a significant reduction in their casualties. And unlike the armored units of the Korean People's Army, they only know how to rush all the way. The limited number of tanks was quickly lost to almost the extent of their losses. However, in the final analysis, it is still to blame that the Korean People's Army only knows how to copy the tactics of the Soviet army, but does not have the strong military industrial strength of the Soviet Union as a backing. It's no wonder if it's not tragic

It is also because of dogmatic study of the Soviet army, the infantry quality of the Korean People's Army is very poor, the heavy troops rush to the front, they can't keep up, resulting in a disconnect between the front and the rear, the U.S. landing at Inchon can cut off the Korean People's Army at once, and after eliminating the limited elite heavy troops of the Korean People's Army that have been cut off from supplies, the remaining Korean light infantry will be completely vulnerable, so that the Korean People's Army, which was able to beat the American troops all the way to escape in the early days of the Korean War, was thus devastated and embarrassed to say to the volunteers, "You don't have tanks, If there is no plane, how can this be fought? ”

In contrast, behind the armored cavalry division, there is the strongest light infantry unit on Shijie, among which the 38th Army, an all-motorized unit expanded by the new 38th Division, can completely keep up with the speed of tank advancement (the Japanese army's infrastructure achievements in North Korea for many years have instead helped their enemies, which is ironic to think about), in fact, it is precisely because of their help that the armored cavalry division can drive all the way in, otherwise even if the light tank is fuel-efficient, it will have to wait for supplies at most two or three hundred kilometers. And even those pure light infantry that can't even do it as a mule and horse generally have iron feet that can travel hundreds of miles a day in the mountains and mountains, and the world's best marching ability is only one aspect of the strong combat effectiveness of the PLA light infantry. There is a famous saying on the Internet in later generations: "If you are not afraid of an enemy like a god, you are afraid of an opponent like a pig." Isn't it a matter of course that an armored cavalry division with a strong friendly force behaved better than the armored forces of the Korean People's Army, which was dragged down by friendly forces?

Even so, after learning that his subordinates were able to crush the resistance of the Korean Japanese army as easily as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, they even captured more than 300,000 prisoners in just half a month (of which about 200,000 were Japanese soldiers, and the rest were Korean puppet troops). After all, the impression of the Japanese army has always been very tenacious, even if the long drive of the armored cavalry division completely tore apart the Japanese army's mountain defense line, if it is a devil in the past, it can hold on for a while while without supply, and the PLA will have to send infantry to eliminate them one by one.

After Hu Weidong saw those devil prisoners of war with his own eyes, he immediately understood, it was not that he had never seen the devil's child soldiers before, but they were all individual, how could they be like this now, and most of them were in the past at a glance? Although according to Hu Weidong's training experience, even a 15-year-old or 6-year-old boy may not be much worse than an adult soldier in combat effectiveness as long as he undergoes more than half a year of rigorous training, and may even have a stronger fighting spirit because of his blood and strength, the PLA's offensive is so fierce and fast that the Japanese military department has no time to train these dolls into qualified soldiers and is forced to send them to the front line in advance. In fact, this is the same reason as the fact that the Soviet Red Army wiped out 700,000 Kwantung Army in just three days after it moved south, and nearly 600,000 of them were captured

It stands to reason that such a major victory has been achieved, and the devil is increasingly showing his weak side, Hu Weidong should feel full of confidence, but these days, with one good news after another, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart has become stronger and stronger, and when he saw the captured Japanese weapons, his heart suddenly sank, and he understood what he had been worried about (to be continued......
