PS: The second update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Xiaoyu wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Thank you to the book friends and book friends 150927123732626, Yi Ge Yi Bo Yuntian, happy party, holiday pickle girl, Cang. Hao's tip! Sinuiju, the Provisional Headquarters of the Korean Army of the Japanese Army. The face of General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, the commander of the Korean Army, was gloomy, which made the faces of the other generals extremely ugly. After the 33rd Brigade landed, it collided with the defensive line that had already been built by the Jilin Army, and the head of the collision broke the blood.

This undoubtedly means that the Japanese army's tactics of trying to detour to the flank of the Jilin Army have failed. If you want to break through the defense line of the Jilin Army, you can only rely on a frontal attack. And the firepower of the Jilin Army was strong, which made the Japanese army seem to have little hope.

"Gentlemen, you say, what should we do now?" General Hasegawa glanced at everyone. Now, the North Korean army has suffered heavy losses, the 6th Infantry Brigade and Regiment, which is the main front-line combat force, have been completely lost, and the 33rd Brigade has been suppressed in the coastal area, and the only troops they can use are the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 8th Infantry Brigade.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think that now we have no way out, the Second Division is constantly sending telegrams asking for help, and we cannot see death without help. Therefore, I propose to launch a desperate offensive tomorrow and, with the help of naval guns, tear through the defense line of the Jilin Army in one fell swoop. Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo, commander of the 3rd Division, said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, I agree with Okubo-kun's suggestion. With the help of the Navy, ours can have an advantage in artillery. Combined with the decisive attack of the infantry, it will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Sadami Yasuto, commander of the 10th Division, also said.

General Hasegawa hesitated, in fact, there were not many options left for him now. The telegram of the Second Division asking for help was like urging them, so that they had to step up their attack on Liaoyang. And the support of the Navy has roasted them on the fire. If he has not won in such a situation, then he, the commander of the North Korean army, will probably have to step down to make up for his mistakes.

"Alright, gentlemen, tomorrow we will launch a decisive attack. I believe that we will be able to defeat the damned Shina people. "General Hasegawa Yoshido also made up his mind.

"Hey, the Great Japanese Empire will win, His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" The generals shouted one after another, their eyes full of fanaticism.

In the Jilin Army Headquarters, several division commanders were smiling. In particular, Major General Duan Tianwei, commander of the 7th Infantry Division, repelled the attack of the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, so that his 7th Infantry Division was finally not a spectator.

"Young marshal, the naval guns of Little Japan are really terrifying! As soon as the cannon went down, it left a crater on the coast. If we hadn't retreated to a distance of ten kilometers from the coast, we wouldn't have had to reimburse the entire division. Major General Duan Tianwei said with emotion.

"Yes, young marshal. The navy of small Japan is too strong, and at this stage our battle with them is probably not suitable for holding it by the sea. In case their warships enter the Yalu River, then we will be miserable. Major General Shi Tianhan of the 3rd Infantry Division also said.

"Don't worry, the water of the Yalu River is too shallow, and heavy warships can't get in at all, at most some small warships will come in. The detachment of the Japanese who came this time had only two light cruisers and two destroyers to enter the Yalu River. Our artillery, not weaker than them. Wu Haoxuan smiled and said.

"Young Marshal, when will we be able to build our own navy. At that time, we won't have to be bullied like this by Little Japan. Zhao Tianlong, commander of the 6th Infantry Division, also said.

"Come on, when we unify the whole of the Northeast, we will start to build a navy. It's just that the navy is no better than the army, and after a few months of training, it can go to the battlefield. The navy needs to accumulate for a long time, so for a long time to come, we still have to pretend to be grandchildren at sea! However, I believe that one day, we will be able to defeat little Japan, both on land and at sea. And, that day won't be too far away. Wu Haoxuan said helplessly.

"Yes, the young marshal is right. Didn't Little Japan rise step by step in the first place? We are no worse than them. After we defeated Little Japan in this battle, they would not dare to bully us. When the time comes, it will not be too late to gradually develop the Navy. Major General Duan Tianwei said.

After this battle, the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese has been shattered in everyone's minds. Everyone also realized that the Japanese are the same as everyone else, and they can be killed as well. The Jilin Army, which is equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, can also fight small Japan, and it cannot find the north.

"I don't think the Japanese were successful in their roundabout tactics, and they will definitely attack more fiercely tomorrow. When the time comes, the light warships of the Japanese Navy will definitely enter the Yalu River and launch an artillery bombardment on us. So tomorrow will be a tough one. Everyone should be mentally prepared. The divisional artillery battalion of the 6th Infantry Division was reinforced to the 3rd Infantry Division. After surviving tomorrow, we will begin to retreat and let little Japan cross the Yalu River. Wu Haoxuan said. His ultimate goal was never to hold the North Korean army back on the east bank of the Yalu River, but to annihilate the North Korean army in one fell swoop. If you want to annihilate the North Korean army, you must let the North Korean army enter the encirclement of the Jilin army. With the bait of the Second Division, there is no fear that Little Japan will not be fooled.

"Young marshal, little Japan was beaten so badly by us, will they be fooled?" Major General Zhao Tianlong was a little worried.

"If the second division is not wiped out for a day, they must rush to Liaoyang. When they enter our encirclement, they can dispose of the second division. The 6th and 8th Divisions, which had arrived from within Japan, also began to land. So, we don't have much time left. Wu Haoxuan said.

"What about the 2nd, 4th and 5th divisions?" Major General Shi Tianhan asked. With these three divisions, it is unlikely that they want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Korean army, and they must have the support of the 2nd, 4th, and 5th divisions.

"The other three divisions have already entered the predetermined encirclement, just waiting for the North Korean army to crash head-on."

Several division commanders nodded, using the Japanese Second Division as a bait, encircling and annihilating the Korean army was a predetermined plan. Now everything is going according to the original plan, which also shows that the Jilin Army is very close to victory.

On the morning of September 3, the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 8th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Korean Army were ready to attack, and when the 6th Brigade was completely lost and the 33rd Brigade was suppressed off the coast of Andong, it was only possible to break the defense line of the Jilin Army and fall on their heads.

As soon as the sun rose, four battleships with thick smoke entered the mouth of the Yalu River and began to swim upstream. These were four warships sent by the Japanese Navy to support the Korean Army, namely the cruiser 'Shindaka', the cruiser 'Tsushima', the destroyer 'Dongun' and the destroyer 'Congyun'.

Among the four battleships, the cruiser "Shindaka" and the cruiser "Tsushima" were large ones with a displacement of more than 3,300 tons, and were armed with six 152 mm single-mount rapid-fire guns, 10 76-mm single-mount rapid-fire guns, and four 47-mm single-mount guns. As for the destroyers "Shinonome" and "Congyun", they are small guys with a displacement of only more than 300 tons, and they are also armed with only one 80-mm single-gun gun and five 57-mm single-gun guns. Of course, although the 'Dongyun-class' destroyer is a small guy at sea, in the inland river, a warship with a length of more than 60 meters and a width of 6 meters can be regarded as a huge thing. Much bigger than those river gunboats.

As soon as the four Japanese warships entered the mouth of the Yalu River, they were discovered by the Jilin Army. The remaining 24 105-mm light howitzers of the 3rd Infantry Division's Divisional Artillery Battalion and 36 105-mm howitzers of the 6th Infantry Division's Divisional Artillery Battalion were all ready for cutdown. Because he knew that the Japanese Navy's naval artillery fire was very fierce, every artillery position was scattered very openly, just to avoid paying a heavy price under the Japanese Navy's naval artillery fire.

"The battleships of the Navy are coming, and now, it's up to the warriors. Order the whole army, ready for battle. General Hasegawa put down the binoculars in his hand and gave the order.

The 5th Infantry Brigade and the 8th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, all entered the attack position. The remaining dozen or so 105-mm light howitzers and more than 50 75-mm field guns of the two field heavy artillery groups of the Japanese army also entered the positions. Originally, they were no match for the artillery of the Jilin Army. However, this time, with the addition of naval guns, it will certainly be able to occupy a decisive advantage in the artillery battle.

At 8:45 a.m., four Japanese warships entered the Yalu River and reached the area around Sinuiju. The sailors on the battleship also entered their respective combat positions, ready to fire at any time. At the same time, the artillery of the Jilin Army was also ready to open fire.

Because the Yalu River was not deep, the four warships of the Japanese Navy could only operate in the middle of the river. In particular, two cruisers, if they reach the shore, will most likely run aground. Therefore, this makes the opponent's route relatively fixed, making it easier for the artillery of the Jilin Army to hit the opponent.

At 8:50, Wu Haoxuan gave the order to open fire. Sixty 105-mm light howitzers of the Jilin Army launched a preemptive strike against four Japanese warships in the river. The firepower of the battleship was amazing, and Wu Haoxuan hoped to be able to destroy the Japanese warship in the first time. Otherwise, this battle will not be easy to fight. If you want to hold out for a day, the Jilin Army will pay a heavy price. Only by causing these warships of the Japanese Navy to suffer damage and then have to withdraw from the battlefield will the Jilin Army have a greater chance of victory.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Sixty 105-mm light howitzers scattered across several artillery positions let out an earth-shattering roar, and one shell after another flew towards the Yalu River.
