The Japanese army continued to brave the large-scale air raids of the Anti-Japanese Union and transferred new divisions and regiments from the south to reinforce them. www.biquge.info Except for the 58th Army, which is currently trapped on Jeju Island due to the cutting off of sea transportation lines, almost all the troops that can be mobilized are desperately moving to Seoul. The entire battlefield around Seoul has become a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the strength of the Japanese army.

The 17th Front Army stationed in Korea, ignoring the anti-coalition attack aircraft group in the sky, continuously transferred one division after another and independent mixed brigades to the direction of Seoul from the depths, but this caused a serious shortage of troops on the Eastern Front. Perhaps the Seventeenth Front Army believed that the Eastern Front was located in the Taebai Mountains, and that the offensive of the Anti-Japanese Union could only start along the narrow strip between the Taebaek Mountains and the Sea of Japan, and that it would not need too many defensive forces.

But he did not expect that under the command of Sui Changqing, the main force of the Korean Independence Army plus the first part of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, in addition to continuing to attack along the eastern foot of Taebaek Mountain with one force. With a considerable part of the force, they moved south along the Taibai Mountains, where a considerable part of the area was no man's land, to bypass the Japanese defenses along the Japanese coastline.

Suddenly appeared at the western foot of Taibai Mountain, and successively won Ningyue and Dichuan. The troops attacking along the eastern foothills of Taebaek Mountain also captured Sokcho and Gangneung in succession. If Du Kaishan is willing to turn this force to the Western Front, then it will cut off the entire Japanese retreat on the front of the Central Line.

Under the condition that the battlefield on the eastern front was progressing relatively quickly, the anti-coalition forces on the central front captured the front line of Chuncheon and Hoengseong, and the forward approached Wonju. And with a force of troops quickly interspersed in the direction of Chungju, to attack the flank of the entire Seoul battlefield, in order to cooperate with the frontal battlefield operations in Seoul.

Du Kaishan advanced on three fronts in Korea, steadily and steadily, and pushed the front south step by step. He continued to take shallow and deep detours to isolate the enemy forces on the front line of Seoul and divide the Japanese army in the entire southern part of Korea into three major parts. But on the east coast, it is constantly speeding up the attack along the Taibai Mountains.

Yang Zhen's order to Du Kaishan was simple, to complete the division of the entire Korean army by early August, and to open the Gyeongbu Line Railway and complete the capture of the port of Busan. As for the heavy Japanese army cluster in Korea, there was no need to pay too much price to annihilate it, so as to cause too many casualties.

In order to control Du Kaishan's offensive on the Korean battlefield to a certain extent, so as not to cause large casualties. Yang Zhen asked Guo Bingxun to fly to North Korea and personally sit on the Korean battlefield to supervise Du Kaishan. And after the Jinhua Campaign, Yang Jicai and the 17th Division, which was anxious to rest, were transferred back to the northeast for recuperation and recuperation.

lest these two daring guys get together and don't know what kind of mess they will make. Even if the two of them hit the Japanese mainland, Yang Zhen would not care. But at this time, if these two guys acted without authorization, causing excessive casualties, it was unacceptable to Yang Zhen.

For Yang Zhen, the war has reached this point, and there is no need to pay a heavy price to fight to the death. Some things are still for the US military to do, and the Chinese have shed enough blood for this war over the years. There is no need to fight to the death with the Japanese army, which has become a grasshopper after the autumn and can't bounce for a few days.

He ordered Du Kaisan to open the Gyeongbu Line and seize the ports of Busan and Ulsan in order to carry out certain plans after the war. As for annihilating the entire Japanese Korean army and completely liberating Korea, he did not think that was necessary at all. It was enough to compress the Korean army to the south of Cheonan, Cheongju, and Dianchon, and to the west of the Xiaobai Mountains on the line of Sangju, Gimcheon, and Juchang, so as not to cause trouble for their own actions after the war.

Yang Zhen, who didn't want to pay too many casualties at this time, and thought that there was no need to seize the entire Korean Peninsula, and controlled the Du Kaishan offensive quite strictly. And with Guo Bingxun personally sitting in North Korea, Du Kaishan did not have the courage to disobey the order.

Although Guo Bingxun, who went to Korea to personally supervise the war, never interfered with Du Kaishan's specific command. But as long as Guo Bingxun is on the Korean battlefield, it will bring a lot of pressure to Du Kaishan. For Du Kaishan, he was really afraid of Yang Zhen. But for Guo Bingxun, Du Kaishan is not only afraid, but also more afraid.

In his words, Number Three just sits there silent, but his eyes are like X-rays, and they can tell you everything that is going through your heart. In front of Number Three, it's like standing there with a bare ass, and you can't hide anything. Compared with No. 1, No. 3's eyes are even more terrifying.

I didn't expect that at this time, the first would send the third Du Kaishan. After Guo Bingxun took some of the personnel of the headquarters and personally arrived in North Korea to take up the town, it can be said that he was quite honest, and he did not dare to make any more moths, and strictly followed the battle plan under the headquarters.

Of course, Yang Zhen sent Guo Bingxun to North Korea at this time, which certainly had the idea of supervising Du Kaishan not to take too much risk and control this guy's appetite, but it also meant that Guo Bingxun was separated to protect him. Yang Zhen knew that his plans to break the sky would not be able to settle accounts after the autumn, and at this time, Guo Bingxun was transferred to protect him.

And Guo Bingxun, who is as careful as he is, doesn't know much about some of Yang Zhen's actions to avoid him. But with Guo Bingxun's personality, it is impossible not to be aware of it. As for the reason why Yang Zhen transferred himself to North Korea at this time, Guo Bingxun, who knew very well, arrived in North Korea by plane in the afternoon after Yang Zhen finished talking with him.

Under Guo Bingxun's personal supervision, Du Kaishan really didn't have the courage to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. No matter what he had in mind before, but with No. 3 in charge, he could only suppress it. After Du Kaishan's rules came down, Yang Zhen also went to the biggest heart disease.

However, according to the original plan, Du Kaishan should not be in a hurry to seize Seoul, but only increase the offensive east of Seoul, and put on a posture of interspersing and encircling the Japanese army in Seoul and the deep area south of it. The Japanese army was forced to retreat south of Suwon on their own, trying to control the entire Taebaek Mountains.

But he didn't expect that the Japanese army on the front line of Seoul would fight to the death without retreating, and they were still mobilizing reinforcements to the front line of Seoul. In order to seize the most important transportation hub for the entire Korean Peninsula as soon as possible, the requirements of the headquarters for opening the Gyeongbu Line were fulfilled. After the troops of the central line seized Wonju, Du Kaishan made a 90-degree turn of the troops of the central line.

With the cooperation of the frontal all-out attack of the 4th Tank Division, which was subsequently invested, an armored brigade was used as the vanguard to forcibly penetrate the front line of Pyeongtaek and Cheonan, south of Seoul. After five days of hard fighting, the troops on the center line of the Korean battlefield completely captured Pyeongtaek and Cheonan, cutting off the connection between Seoul and the Japanese army in Daejeon.

Immediately, Du Kaishan concentrated the forces of five infantry divisions, two armored brigades and three separate tank regiments to start the Battle of Seoul. On the Eastern Front, the Korean Independence Army was supported by an armored brigade of the Anti-Japanese Union, and an armored brigade of the Anti-Japanese Union on the Central Front plus two divisions to attack in the direction of Chungju and Daejeon.

Forcibly interspersed to the south along the Taebaek Mountains, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Korean Army being attacked by the Seoul battlefield and the flank attack of Daejeon by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, attracted the past. At the beginning of July 45, Gyeongju and Ulsan were seized, and the front had advanced to the periphery of the port of Busan. The rumbling of artillery from the east can already be clearly heard throughout Busan.

On the battlefield of Seoul, Du Kaishan concentrated half of the troops entering the DPRK and launched a full-front attack on Seoul. However, under the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, it has not made smooth progress. After half a month of hard fighting, even the three brigades of the Korean Independence Army in reserve, as well as a division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, were all thrown into it, and finally captured Seoul and Suwon south of Seoul.

The First Battle of Seoul was also the last large-scale battle fought by the Anti-Japanese Federation during the entire Anti-Japanese War. In this battle, although Du Kaishan defeated the strength of three divisions of the Korean Japanese army plus two independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army, he completely crushed the last bit of vitality of the Korean Japanese army.

However, the troops invested in the Seoul battlefield also suffered quite serious losses of their own. In particular, the tank units lost more than half of their troops in street battles. The three separate tank regiments that were put into service, as well as an armored brigade, were all disabled. During the entire Battle of Seoul, more than 300 tanks were lost. And the entire Seoul and all the surrounding villages and towns were also flattened.

The battle of Seoul suffered serious losses, especially heavy losses in armored forces, and Du Kaishan, who basically lost the ability to assault, could only temporarily stop the offensive on the Western Front. Fortunately, the eastern and central fronts are progressing smoothly, and the strategic goals have been basically achieved. The cessation of the offensive on the front line of Cheonan and Pyongtaek in Reading had no impact on the outcome of the campaign.

Behind Du Kaishan, after the end of the South Manchurian Campaign at the end of 44, the four railway corps that had entered Korea were also making every effort to repair the Gyeongbu Line Railway, which had been quite damaged. Du Kaishan advanced a section to the south, and these railway soldiers hurried to repair a section.

By the time Seoul changed hands, the Japanese and Korean forces had been compressed to the south of the Cheonan and Chungju lines, to the west of Yecheon and Daegu, and to a corner of the entire Korean Peninsula. The remnants of the more than 50,000 Korean troops who had withdrawn from all directions and a large number of Japanese nationals who had withdrawn from the south were compressed to such a palm-sized territory, and life was quite difficult.

Fortunately, after the loss of Busan, the offensive of the Korean Battlefield Anti-Union suddenly stopped, which greatly relieved the North Korean army, which already felt that it was difficult to support. However, the North Korean army, which has been cut off from all ties with the mainland, together with a large number of overseas Chinese who have withdrawn in large numbers, is trapped in the southwest corner of North Korea, and this food problem has become the biggest dilemma of the North Korean army.

The limited amount of food could only ensure that the more than 100,000 Japanese troops and a large number of expatriates, including the Korean military headquarters that had been evacuated to Gwangju, could only eat two meals of gruel a day. The North Korean army, which had no choice but to draw a considerable part of its troops, find ways to be self-reliant, plus go into the sea to fish, to ensure the most basic survival needs of these people.

After the Korean battlefield stopped the offensive, in addition to the continuous small-scale tactical-level battles on the front line, and the continuous crossing of the remaining control areas of the Korean Japanese army by the attack planes of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the occasional bombing, the entire Korean battlefield showed a strange calm.

At the same time, under the cover of fighter groups, the transport aircraft group of the Anti-United States began to enter the airfields of Ulsan and Daegu for six consecutive years. The small flotilla of the Anti-Japanese Federation that had returned from Okinawa, as well as several sea-sweeping boats that had been renovated in Tianjin, also entered the port of Ulsan in June and secretly began to clear the mines off the west coast of Japan. and carried a division of the Anti-Japanese Union, and suddenly seized Tsushima Island, opposite the port of Busan.

After the completion of the Jianghuai Campaign in the Guannai battlefield, the whole army also entered the stage of reorganization. Under the new situation, the central authorities have also constantly adjusted the number of troops. In accordance with the unified arrangements of the central authorities, except for some of the anti-coalition troops that entered the customs were transferred to the Shandong Military Region, the main force and the main force of the New Fourth Army were completed and reorganized, and the anti-coalition troops entering the customs were officially reorganized into the units of the New Fourth Army.

At the same time, the central authorities abolished the original Huainan, Huaibei, Northern Jiangsu, and Soviet-Central Military Regions, unified and reorganized the four military regions into the Jianghuai Military Region, and formed the Jianghuai Military Region Headquarters with the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army. Chen Hanzhang served as the commander of the Jianghuai Military Region and the commander of the New Fourth Army, and the original acting commander of the New Fourth Army was transferred to the post of political commissar.
