First, Pyongyang was suddenly bombed, then the entire city was set on fire, and finally the communication between the forward positions and the rear command was actually cut off. In addition, Gao Wenshan took out almost all the shells in the army just now, and the Japanese troops on the position were suddenly in chaos.

Under the attack of the 17th Army, the offensive that had been relatively strong soon collapsed.

When the Wehrmacht tanks drove up the Japanese position, facing the soldiers of the 17th Army who rushed up with the tanks, the Japanese on the position were left with nothing but despair...

"Bastard!"

Faced with a tank on the ground, an impulsive Japanese officer, with his eyes wide open, snatched a rifle from the soldier next to him and rushed forward, then fired at the tank's armor repeatedly.

Looking at this scene, the seventeenth officers and men who followed the tank simply ignored it, and almost allowed the officer to do it. After all, in any case, the thickness of the tank's armor is also tens of millimeters, and if it is really possible to let the Japanese in front of him shoot through with a rifle, then all the workers in the arsenal should be pulled and shot!

Instead of worrying about the tank, they should think about what to do if they rush too fast and be hit by the bullets that bounce back?!

Although it is a decisive attack like a battle against the water, if you can survive, I am afraid that few will choose the path of death.

On the other hand, although the officer's marksmanship was very accurate, after all, what he had in his hand was only an ordinary caliber Type 38 rifle, not an anti-tank rifle, and the ammunition in his hand could only scratch some sparks when it fell on the tank. Maybe wipe off a little paint or something...

Inside the tank, the driver looked at the Japanese officer who was going crazy outside, and glanced at the commander behind him with some confusion. "Is this guy sick?"

"Who knows. I heard that these little devils have some problems with their heads, and besides, you haven't seen similar situations along the way..."

"What about this guy?"

"What to do? Do you still need me to teach, can't you just run over it! The captain said with some disdain.

Although the capture of a Japanese officer seems to be a great achievement. But during this period of time, he could be said to hate these Japanese so much, and naturally he didn't care much about the captives or anything. Not to mention the Japanese along the way. It's okay to get them to surrender, but it's too difficult. In particular, many cunning Japanese like to pull their own grenades and die with the approaching soldiers while surrendering.

Gradually, the Wehrmacht also had a consensus on these Japanese soldiers―――――― only the dead Japanese soldiers are good Japanese soldiers...

And glanced at the officer who was going crazy. The commander didn't think he would surrender.

After hearing the words of the commander. The driver nodded, didn't say anything, just drove the tank, straight towards the officer......... Ran over...

After a short scream, all that seemed to be gone seemed to be gone, leaving only an unrecognizable mass of flesh beneath the tracks...

――――――――――――――――――――

Because of the lack of support from the rear, and at the same time, the command system was also in the offensive of the 17th Army because of the loss of contact with the headquarters. The Japanese defensive line, which was originally fairly strong, collapsed after holding out for some time ...

The 17 officers and men rushed in the direction of Pyongyang City like a tsunami from the mountains. Soon, however, they encountered another group of resistance on the walls of Pyongyang.

At this time, the artillery shells of the 17th Army were basically all used up, and because of this, with the relatively strong city walls, the Japanese troops on the head of Pyongyang City caused a great obstacle to the 17th Army...

Although Gao Wenshan once organized a number of death squads to use explosives to blow up the city wall, unfortunately all failed. But just then, there was a strange humming sound in the air, a sound they had heard not long ago...

After hearing these voices, the 17th officers and soldiers who were still fighting with the Japanese under the city wall immediately cheered, and even Gao Wenshan, whose expression was tense, gradually relaxed his expression.

Because they knew exactly what this voice meant, it meant that their bomber forces were back.

On the other hand, after hearing this voice, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were in a state of death.

Unlike the 17th Army outside the city, as well as the Japanese defenders who were originally stationed in the position, these troops who have been in the city all along, know very well what those bombers have just done to the city...

Pyongyang, the most important city in northern North Korea, is located at the intersection of Sinuiju 284 kilometers southeast, 226 kilometers west of Wonsan, and 54 kilometers northeast of Nampo City. The Taedong River divides Pyongyang Fortress into two parts, east of the city with Seoki Mountain, southwest Cangguang Mountain, north of Jinxiu Mountain and Peony Peak, and south of the plain...

At the same time, Pyongyang is an ancient city with a written history of more than 3,000 years. Legend has it that in 2333 B.C., the Emperor Huan Xiong, the son of the Emperor, and the bear girl's son Tanjun (also known as Wang Jian) established the Korean state, and its capital Asda is located in what is now Pyongyang, so Pyongyang is also known as "Wang Jian City".

After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Yin Shang nobleman Jizi came to Korea and took Pyongyang as the capital, which was "Jizi Korea". In the past, the Korean people revered him very much and regarded him as the ancestor of the Korean nation. As a result, Pyongyang's status has become sacred, and it is called "Miseong".

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a native of Yan, fled to North Korea and replaced Jizi Joseon, called "Wei Man Joseon". In 108 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Weimanchu Korea, captured Wang Jiancheng, and set up four counties in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, which were placed under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, of which the area around Pyongyang was Lelang County, which was the center of the four Han counties. Lelang County is a North Korean county, located in the south of the current Taedong River, and its ruins were unearthed in the 1930s, and the Lelang District of Pyongyang is named after the ruins of Lelang County.

In the long years ahead, as I said before. Pyongyang is the most important city in northern Korea.

However, today, this ancient city with thousands of years of history has been almost destroyed under the bombing of the Chinese. In fact. Although the bombing just now did not burn the whole of North Korea, it did set fire to a small part of the most important urban areas...

And now, those bombers in the sky are actually coming again, this...

So, amid the cheers of the XVII Army and the fear of the Japanese army, the bomber group again came to the skies over Pyongyang ...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at Pyongyang under him, Gao Jun's eyes were full of complexity.

Because he really didn't want to do such a task anymore. In his opinion. What I am doing at the moment should not be called a combat mission at all, but a massacre against civilians...

It's just that...

Not to mention that this order was given by Yan Shao personally, just Wang Tianming's threat to go to a military court. It's definitely not something that Gao Jun can ignore...

After all, if things really get to the point of going to a court-martial, then no matter what the outcome is, he will definitely be the unlucky one in the end.

The reason is also very simple, just like Wang Tianming thought. Dead friends do not die poor. It's not because of a momentary soft-heartedness. As a result, the 17th Army and the 33rd Army were all wiped out, so it was better to be ruthless and find a way to find out all the more than 100,000 brothers of these two armies...

Even if this is the case, the number of civilians who died in the hands of the enemy would be in the tens of thousands, but it was still much better than the more than 100,000 of his brothers who fell into the hands of the enemy. After all, who calls them not Chinese?! Although the North Koreans have always been relatively close to China, this alone can distinguish the two sides!

And if they are because of such ridiculous reasons. If more than 100,000 people are wiped out, even if it is a distance of thousands of kilometers. For the vast majority of Chinese people, for tens of thousands ――――――of foreigners, more than 100,000 soldiers of their own country have been wiped out, which is absolutely unforgivable.

If nothing else is mentioned for the time being, can't you still figure out the arithmetic? Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, which is important, even if you look at it in mathematics, you can quickly see it...

What's more, there is a distinction between oneself and foreigners in it, and if this battle is lost, one can imagine how many harsh conditions the Japanese will put forward. In addition, the cost of rebuilding Dandong may have to be paid by the Kuomintang government―――――― of course, no matter from any point of view, it is clear that the Japanese will lose much more than the Chinese...

As a result, Gao Jun and the others had to face a very realistic choice.

For the sake of those North Koreans below, they risked going to court martial and chose to refuse to carry out this mission. Or do you choose to go against your conscience and carry out this mission, even if it is to massacre civilians?

In the end, Gao Jun made the choice of the former...

In other words, the vast majority of people in the bomber group chose this, after all, for ordinary people, if they can, they are naturally willing to do something good within their means, but if they really can't do it......... They can only violate their conscience...

After all, for ordinary people, a prerequisite for doing good deeds is not to implicate themselves.

And if they do continue to disobey orders, they may really have to go to court-martial. At that time, whether it is shooting, forced retirement, or imprisonment or something, it is obviously very dishonorable...

Although Gao Jun is reluctant to perform such a task, he is also a very sane person.

Of course, he would not be willing to carry out such a task if he could, but under the threat of a military court, he could only bow his head in the face of pressure...

Dead friends don't die poor, in this case, he can only sacrifice the North Koreans below.

Of course, there are a few people who insist on defending their positions, but no matter what dynasty they are in, the number of such people is very rare, so in the end, the entire bomber group, there are less than 10 people who refuse to carry out this mission, and it does not cause much trouble to the entire mission...

"In any case, this is also to save the hundreds of thousands of brothers who are under siege, and I am right to do so!" Looking down at the city that was still burning below, after gritting his teeth, Gao Jun hypnotized himself so much...

At the same time, on other planes, I don't know how many pilots are so hypnotic...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Like the Japanese soldiers on the city walls, the Koreans and the Japanese who were busy putting out the fires in the city were impressed by the planes. Therefore, after seeing Gao Jun and the others coming back, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and many people couldn't even take care of the things they were busy with. Just turned around and ran―――――― just a round of bombing has turned a small part of the city into a sea of fire, if it were to come twice, wouldn't the whole city be on fire.

If that were the case, Pyongyang would really be a city on the Flaming Mountain...

Not only the Koreans, but even some Japanese soldiers quietly fled from the scene of the fire after noticing this. And on the other hand. The Japanese army was using the only remaining anti-aircraft weapons after the bombing to defend against the bombers coming from the sky...

It's just that Pyongyang's anti-aircraft firepower is not very good in the first place, not to mention that it has just suffered a blow. So sparse anti-aircraft fire simply did not pose any threat to the bomber group. After arriving over Pyongyang, the bomber of Regiment Commander Xin swaggered down and pulled itself to a very low position. Then he ordered the bombardier to press the button. Throwing ammunition and fuel on the ground ...

A large number of incendiary bombs fell from the magazine, raining down on the neighborhoods and buildings that were not burning in the first place. Soon the lands, like the previous ones, were engulfed in flames...

The other bombers who followed Commander Xin's plane also began their own actions, and soon the whole city was burning again, and under the mixture of the old and new flames, it burned much more fiercely than just now...

Subsequently, another group of pilots began to open their magazines. Dropping the fuel inside, this time they could say that they were well prepared. Some planes have been filled with gasoline and other fuels, and even have a lot of small gasoline barrels in the cabin.

After the bomber finished dropping all the bomb compartments, these people also threw down the cabin―――――― although the H19 is also a very good bomber, but after all, the performance is still not comparable with the later generations, but even if the bombers of later generations get so many things in the cabin, the flight performance may be greatly affected, so after a large number of gasoline barrels are thrown down, soon the maneuverability of the bomber has been greatly improved...

But they did, and Pyongyang below suffered...

If the previous bombing only burned a small half of Pyongyang, then this bombing, counting the last batch, burned half of Pyongyang, making the city a veritable city of flames...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside Pyongyang, Gao Wenshan naturally knew about this bombing mission for a long time, so after seeing the bomber group bombing and the entire Pyongyang burning even more severely than before, Gao Wenshan immediately ordered his subordinates.

"Immediately step up the offensive, and we must take Pyongyang before the Japanese come to their senses!"

"Yes!"

As if inspired by the flames in the city, the Wehrmacht forces outside the city immediately intensified their attacks.

On the other hand, perhaps because of the bombing, the vicinity of the city wall was also affected to a certain extent. Therefore, after some wasted effort, the Wehrmacht forces outside the city finally stormed the city of Pyongyang...

And this finally made Gao Wenshan breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, the situation of the Seventeenth Army was already very embarrassing. A large number of soldiers had exhausted their ammunition in the previous attack and had to take weapons from the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the position―――――― although the Japanese weapons were inferior to those of the Wehrmacht, but because Pyongyang was backed by the sea and was also the largest city in the north of Korea, the ammunition was very abundant...

It's just that if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid no one knows what will happen.

After all, what the Seventeenth Army lacked was not only ammunition, but also food and so on.

Especially food, without food, people can't fight...

"By the way, send a telegram to the 33rd Army, saying that they are holding out for a while, we have already invaded Pyongyang, and it only takes one day to complete the occupation of Pyongyang, and then they can withdraw ..."

"Yes!"

"In addition, there is a telegram to the Beijing side, asking them to organize the logistics line of the sea route as much as possible..."

Speaking of which, Gao Wenshan glanced at the burning Pyongyang. Although Pyongyang has taken it, the houses inside are probably all burned down. If there is no domestic support, even if Pyongyang is taken, it is useless...

The news of the 17th Army's invasion of Pyongyang soon reached the 33rd Army.

After learning that the 17th Army had finally entered Pyongyang, many people in the headquarters of the 33rd Army, including Commander Nian, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, the situation of the 33rd Army is already very dangerous, the ammunition is almost out of ammunition, if there is no news from the 17th Army, I am afraid that the commander will need to consider letting his subordinates fight the enemy with bayonets...

Similarly, Commander Nian was well aware that the troops were in great need of encouragement at the moment, so he quickly ordered the news to be spread throughout the army...

And just when the 33rd Army, which got the news, was cheering there, on the Tokyo side, Yama Prefecture Youpeng almost crushed his little old tooth...

"At such a cost..." (To be continued......
