PS: The first update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommended votes! Thank you for the rewards of book friends Brother Bao Zongyang, Happy Party, N Xueyi N, Niu A Niu, and the mighty and domineering warlord!

Andong, a city in the eastern part of Mukden Province, is bordered by the Yalu River in the east, and after crossing the Yalu River, it is North Korea. North Korea was originally a vassal state of China. However, after the First Sino-Japanese War, Korea had become a Japanese colony.

On the bank of the Yalu River, several middle-aged people wearing generals' uniforms are accompanying a young man standing on the bank of the Yalu River. This young man is none other than Jilin Major Marshal and Chief of Staff of the Jilin Army, Wu Haoxuan. He set off from Haicheng to Anton before dawn this morning with his guards. I traveled more than 100 kilometers in one day, and I was tired enough. However, after arriving in Anton, Wu Haoxuan did not rest, and directly began to inspect the Jilin Army's defense line along the Yalu River.

After the Jilin Army surrounded the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, could the Korean Army still be able to sit still? Wu Haoxuan wouldn't believe it at all. Although, at present, the Jilin Army, which is assembled on the Yalu River, already has three infantry divisions, namely the 3rd Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division. The follow-up 2nd Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division and 5th Infantry Division were coming. Six infantry divisions, with a strength of nearly 110,000 troops, are already more than twice the size of the Japanese and Korean armies. However, Wu Haoxuan still didn't dare to take it lightly. This was the first time that the Jilin Army had faced as many as two divisions of elite Japanese troops.

What's more, after the battle between the Second Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army, the Japanese Army obviously will no longer underestimate the Jilin Army. In this case, it will be very difficult for the Jilin Army to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger again, and it can only fight hard-to-head with the Japanese Army. Fortunately, after a series of battles, the Jilin Army is no longer what it used to be. Even if you have a one-on-one confrontation with the Japanese Army, you may not necessarily lose. In addition, the Japanese Army's backup forces have not yet arrived, and the Jilin Army still occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

"Young Marshal, at present, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 6th Infantry Division are deployed along the Yalu River, and the defense line is hundreds of kilometers long. If the North Korean army wanted to rescue the 2nd Division, it was unlikely that they would be able to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Yalu River. In that case, it would take too long to get there. When they arrived, it was estimated that they would have to collect the corpses of the Second Division of the Japanese Army. In addition, the road in Changbai Mountain is difficult to walk, only Andong is this part, there is an official road, and the road is a little better. Therefore, we believe that if the North Korean army launches an offensive, Andong will be the main direction of attack. Therefore, the 7th Infantry Division, as a reserve, also remained in Anton. Shi Tianhan, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, now, the sun is setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the river, which looks sparkling and the scenery is very beautiful. Wu Haoxuan still has a lot of feelings about the city of Anton. After all, every Chinese in later generations knew the deeds of the volunteers who crossed the Yalu River to fight in Korea, and although the weapons of the volunteers were very rudimentary, even relying on millet and rifles, they defeated the US imperialist army armed with aircraft and artillery.

"This time, I will definitely make the Japanese pay a heavy price on the Yalu River. After the end of this war, the Japanese don't even want to cross the Yalu River again! Wu Haoxuan swore secretly.

In view of the disparity in strength between the two sides, this time there is still only one way to let the Japanese in, and then rely on superior forces to encircle and annihilate them. Therefore, war will inevitably be fought on one's own soil. There is no way to do this, who said that the strength of the Jilin Army is inferior to the Japanese? It is very difficult to keep the enemy out of the country. In addition, the Jilin Army had to destroy the main force of the Japanese Army before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly the best way to find a way to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Army. After encircling the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, the reason why they were not annihilated immediately was to lure other Japanese troops to come to the rescue so that they could be eaten in one fell swoop.

"Two divisions defending a defensive line of more than 100 kilometers are still too weak. However, there were only more than 40,000 Korean troops in the Japanese Army, and there were not many places to choose to cross the river. Once the Japanese Army's crossing point is discovered, it will begin to shrink its forces. The Yalu River is a moat, and we must make good use of this moat to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese. Wu Haoxuan said. It's August 31, and it's the Yalu River's wet season. At its narrowest point, the lower reaches of the Yalu River are almost a kilometer wide. The Japanese want to cross the river, but it is not so easy.

"Don't worry, young marshal, it's not so easy for the Japanese to cross the river. We'll let their blood stain the river red. Zhao Tianlong, commander of the 6th Infantry Division, said with a smile.

Originally, the generals of the Jilin Army had a subconscious fear of the Japanese Army. However, when the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army fell into the encirclement of the Jilin Army and was about to be encircled and annihilated, everyone seemed to be no longer afraid of the Japanese. This kind of change is undoubtedly exactly what Wu Haoxuan wants to see. Of course, don't be blindly optimistic. From the point of view of strength, the gap between Jilin and Japan is still too big.

"What about the sea? Do you have a good defense? Wu Haoxuan asked.

"At sea? Will the Japanese come from the sea? Several division commanders were stunned.

Wu Haoxuan shook his head a little speechlessly, these generals are still lacking in ability!

"Don't forget, the Japanese navy is the strongest navy in East Asia. They could cover the landing of the army at sea at any time. Even the mouth of the Yalu River was able to pass through the warships of the navy. On the Yalu River, even some light warships can pass. The guns of battleships are much more powerful than those used by the army. Therefore, we have to guard against this. The 7th Division formed positions along the coast. But it had to be more than ten kilometers away from the coastline, in which case it was already out of the effective range of the main guns of the battleships of the Japanese Navy. Wu Haoxuan said.

Although, the 305-mm guns of the Japanese Navy have a firing range of more than ten kilometers. However, at this distance, they could no longer guarantee that the main gun would be able to accurately hit the target. More than 10 kilometers should be a safe distance.

"Yes, young marshal." Major General Duan Tianwei, commander of the 7th Infantry Division, nodded.

When Wu Haoxuan arrived in Andong, the commander of the Japanese Korean Army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, also arrived in Sinuiju, which is across the river. The 3rd and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army, which are subordinate to the Korean Army, have also arrived at their predetermined positions.

Admiral Hasegawa Yoshimichi was born in 1850 and graduated from the Osaka Military Gakuryo (the predecessor of the Rikushi). On April 19, 1871, he was first appointed as a lieutenant in the army. He successively served as Acting Commander of the 1st Infantry Wing (participated in the Southwest War), Captain of the 11th Infantry Wing, Commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Chief of Staff of Hiroshima Jindai, Chief of Staff of Osaka Jintai, Staff Officer of the Chubu Military Supervision Department, and Commander of the 12th Infantry Brigade (Acting). On December 23, 1886, he was promoted to major general and served as commander of the 12th Infantry Brigade. (Sino-Japanese War led troops to the expedition) on August 20, 1895, he was made a baron. Later, he successively served as the commander of the 3rd Division and the commander of the Guards Division. On June 6, 1904, he was promoted to army general, and on September 8, he was appointed commander of the Korean garrison.

The 3rd and 10th Divisions under the jurisdiction of the Korean Army are also one of the first divisions of the Japanese Army and belong to the most elite units of the Japanese Army. This time, after Japan decided to send troops to attack Tohoku, the Korean army immediately mobilized. It is a pity that the roads in Korea are difficult to navigate, and by the time the Korean army completed its mobilization and began to advance to the northeast, the Second Division of the Japanese Army had already engaged in a fierce battle with the Jilin Army.

Originally, Hasegawa Yoshimichi thought that with the combat effectiveness of the Second Division, he would be able to defeat an enemy several times his size. But unexpectedly, the second division fell into the crisis of being encircled, and it could be completely annihilated at any time. This made General Hasegawa Yoshimichi completely unbelievable. But at the same time, it also ordered the North Korean army to speed up and rescue the second division before it was completely annihilated.

Upon arrival in Sinuiju, Hasegawa Yoshimichi summoned the generals and officers of the 3rd and 10th Divisions. In the temporary headquarters, the senior generals and officers of the DPRK army gathered here.

The commander of the 3rd Division was Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo. The 3rd Division consists of the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 6th Infantry Brigade. Among them, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade is Major General Nobuyuki Asada, and the 6th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Watari Keiyuki Osa, and the 18th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Tanioka Bata Nakasa. The commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade is Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa, and the 7th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Kiyoshi Amano, and the 19th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Shojo Eguchi Nakasa. The chief of staff of the division, cross-country Jigoro Osa.

The commander of the 10th Division was Lieutenant General Anton Sadami. The 3rd Division consists of the 8th Infantry Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade. The commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade is Major General Koizumi Masaho, and he has the 39th Infantry Wing, Wing Nakano Nakasa, and the 40th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Junnaka Yagishita. Major General Takeryo Yamane, commander of the 33rd Infantry Brigade, commanded the 10th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Onodera Miyachusa, and the 63rd Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Chikunosuke Ishiguro Nakasa. Chief of Staff of the Division, Taro Fujimoto, Osa.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Second Division is in danger, and His Excellency General Ao Baogong, Chief of Staff, asks us to rush to Liaoyang as soon as possible to rescue the Second Division, and we must not let the most elite divisions of the Imperial Army be surrounded and annihilated by the Zhina. Do you have the confidence to defeat the Shina people and rescue the 2nd Division? General Hasegawa asked.

"Defeat the people of China and rescue the 2nd Division!" The generals and officers present all shouted loudly. Although they were surprised by what happened to the Second Division, they still believed that with their strength, they could completely defeat the Jilin Army.

"Very well, tomorrow we will launch an attack on the Chinese people west of the Yalu River. I hope that tomorrow night, I will be able to rest in Andong City. Hasegawa said with a smile.
