Chapter 1099: Falling Goose Defense Line

After coming out of Qiao Youhua's military tent, Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao quickly returned to the column headquarters and jointly issued an order to start the attack.

In the past few days, the first column not only consolidated its positions on the opposite bank, but also repaired railway bridges that had been previously damaged by the Japanese army, and even the engineering units built eight more pontoon bridges, two of which could be used by tanks, armored vehicles and heavy trucks loaded with goods.

On the eve of the attack, all units of the first column basically crossed the Yalu River and gathered on the opposite bank.

As Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao's orders were issued, Scarface was the first to receive the order, carrying a cold and flashing iron broadsword from the regiment headquarters, and said in a loud voice while walking towards the forward trench: "Whether we can turn over this time depends on the guys in our hands, whether it is a mule or a horse, a hero or a bear, it all depends on our own!" A regiment does not leave reserves, does not leave logistics, and all my regiment of soldiers will go into battle with me to kill the enemy!

If you don't hit the Han River, you won't look back!

A large number of directly subordinate troops such as regimental guard platoon and communications corps soon gathered around him, and the soldiers were infected and echoed in unison: "If you don't reach the Han River, you will never return!" ”

Soon, their voices resonated with more than 3,000 soldiers in the regiment! The damage from the last battle has been replenished over the past few years.

The 3,000 soldiers raised their weapons in the trenches and raised their arms and shouted: "If you don't reach the Han River, you will never return!" ”

"If you don't reach the Han River, you will never return!"

"If you don't reach the Han River, you will never return!"

"If you don't reach the Han River, you will never return!" Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, resounding in all directions, shocking, after the three shouts in response, Scarface was the first to jump out of the trench with the iron broadsword, standing on the fortifications, overlooking the Japanese position not far away.

At this moment, a large number of artillery shells roared from the artillery position behind him, and the dazzling flames almost covered the sky, pierced the void, flew over Scarface and thousands of front-line soldiers, and fell on the Japanese position thousands of meters away.

Scarface stood on the fortified bunker, and immediately saw that the devil's position was rising one after another dazzling red light, and then, the booming and deafening explosion sound came from far and near, one after another, as terrifying as thunder.

In order to prepare for this attack, the first column of Longya used more artillery than the last time, and each wave of artillery bombardment will shoot out at least 5,000 shells of various calibers, and according to the average of two kilograms of one shell, the weight of each wave of shells is as high as tens of thousands of catties.

Tens of thousands of tons of steel shells will still explode, and the head and face will be smashed down, and the movement will really shake the mountains and the sky will collapse.

As waves of shells fell, the Japanese position soon turned into a sea of fire, and even from a distance of several miles, Scarface, standing outside the trench, could clearly feel the heat wave coming one after another, which was formed by the huge blast wave spreading in all directions.

After a full 10 rounds of rapid fire, the artillery group of the first column had already poured more than 100,000 rounds of various shells on the Japanese position, and immediately began to extend the artillery fire.

Scarface suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Brothers in the first regiment, the artillery's three-plate axe is finished, it's time for us to go next!" Rush up for me and kill all the little devils who can breathe! Come on! With that, he waved the iron broadsword in his hand and took the lead and rushed forward.

More than 3,000 elite infantry jumped out of the trenches, followed closely behind, and charged with a deafening roar.

"Rush! Kill! The earth-shattering shouts of killing swarmed out like a tide.

The two tank regiments responsible for covering their assault also attacked quickly from behind, and the tank fighting vehicles galloped forward with their thick breeches held high, bursts of green smoke spewing from their tails, and their engines emitting a deafening roar.

The devils were actually in the forward position of the confrontation with the first column of the Dragon's Tooth, and they did not deploy too many troops, because they knew that it was not safe here, and once they were hit by the devastating artillery fire of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, the casualties would be very large.

Therefore, the devils deployed the puppet troops loyal to them on the Goryeo Peninsula at the front, leaving only a few Japanese troops as the backbone, urging the puppet troops to confront the Dragon's Tooth Corps, and their purpose was not to expect these puppet troops to really resist the attack from the Dragon's Tooth Corps.

Instead, it plays the role of a buffer and early warning, once the front line is attacked, then the main force of the Japanese army really deployed in the second line of defense can be prepared in advance, whether it is the preparation for resistance or the preparation for retreat.

The main position of the Japanese army at this time was deployed 80 miles north of Sinuiju, where the mountains were undulating and the terrain was dangerous, which was much more dangerous than the position along the river in Sinuiju.

The Japanese army requisitioned the local aborigines, relying on the rolling mountains to build a large number of various strongholds, fortifications, light and dark fire forts, and had already operated here in an iron barrel.

This place is called Luoyan Mountain, which describes the mountain as high and steep that even geese can't fly over. The commander of the Japanese garrison at Luoyan Mountain was a major general, and his troops were the size of a mixed brigade, totaling more than 10,000 people.

This man's name was Takashi Sato, one of the representatives of the Japanese army's young Zhuang faction, arrogant, belligerent, bloodthirsty and cruel, and his soldiers were a notorious invading army.

Originally, the Japanese high-level learned that the Dragon's Tooth Corps was advancing northward because they wanted Sato Eagle to destroy local transportation and defense facilities, quickly retreat to the south of the Han River, join up with other Japanese troops, and rely on the natural danger of the Han River to block the counterattack of the Dragon's Tooth Corps.

However, this Sato Eagle was unwilling to retreat like this, so he categorically refused to obey the order, and was determined to lead his troops to fight the Dragon Tooth Corps to the end in Luoyan Mountain.

Originally, the commander of Luoyan Mountain was not Sato Taka, because now the direction of Sinuiju was hit fiercely by the first column of Longya, and the original Japanese commander was frightened and always advocated the withdrawal of the Goryeo Peninsula in order to avoid this formidable opponent.

It was Sato Taka, a fanatical major general of the Young Zhuang faction, who took the initiative to come forward and take over the post of commander of the Luoyan Mountain defense line, so although the top management of the Japanese base camp was a little unhappy with Sato Taka's disobedience, they did not punish him, and it was too late in time.

On the other hand, the Japanese army also hoped that Sato Eagle could win a battle in Luoyan Mountain and frustrate the spirit of the Shina people, so the Japanese military high-level ordered that all Japanese troops in the area from Luoyan Mountain to the Han River and the puppet army would be under the command of Sato Taka.

At this time, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army on the North Peninsula north of the Han River and south of the Yalu River was not less than 100,000, including 30,000 Japanese troops and 780,000 puppet troops.

After receiving unified command, Taka Sato immediately ordered more than 20,000 Japanese troops stationed in Pyongyang and its vicinity to rush south and rush to Luoyan Mountain to support Sato's headquarters in the battle.
