Chapter 771: The army gathered
In the jubilation of the whole country, Zhao Liqiang quickly returned to Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Shanghai with all his troops to garrison, and according to Dong Ku's instructions, after returning to Shanghai, he focused on coastal defense.
Xing Yuan's army evacuated Dalian and Lushun, and handed over the place to Liuhai, who came later, to pick up supplies and clean up the battlefield.
Qu Jungang was still stationed in place, guarding the front line of Yingkou and Panshan, not far from Du Yuming. The army, which marched to Korea on all fronts, assembled in Dandong when Junzi reached the Cheongchon River.
In fact, to capture North Korea, Shunzi and Yu Lei, and Mo Rigen could take the whole territory without even half a month, and the reason why Dong Ku was like this was that he was worried that Britain and the United States would send troops to North Korea under the pretext of mediation.
After all, Korea is a Japanese colony, and although it was a canonized state of the Qing Dynasty before the First Sino-Japanese War, it was actually Chinese land, but it was really a Japanese colony. Britain and the United States will not directly send troops to China, but may send troops to Korea to help Japan, which contributed the most to the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The reason why Dong Ku thinks about it this way, he doesn't know when World War II will come, this will be a bit chaotic, the arrival of his butterfly, caused the speed of the wheels to rotate immediately and the previous time and space is already different, so he must ensure that there will be no mistakes in the offensive or defense, once the United States makes a joint fleet, joint forces, and a situation similar to the Korean War, then his advance army will come to be a volunteer army in advance. Although North Korea has no resistance power.
If the battlefield is placed in North Korea, then Dong Ku is quite willing, and it doesn't matter if it is damaged or not in China.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to make the Great Powers understand that on land, the advance army was the king! Even in the face of the Anglo-American powers, he will not back down.
Shandong, Lao Zhao's movements are very fast. Huang Baitao's movements were not slow, when Zhao Liqiang withdrew his troops, he received an order from Lao Jiang, quickly occupied Zibo and Weifang, and incorporated Tai'an and Liaocheng into his own strength, which can be regarded as a foothold in Shandou. The battle situation has become an unshakable base area, and the Jiaozhou Peninsula has made a remote attack posture, and it has changed a little, and it is completely possible to cut off the connection between the Jiaozhou Peninsula and Qingdao from Weifang.
Besides, they still have a navy and warships, and it is not a trouble for Qingdao and Weihai to take down.
None of this had anything to do with Dong Ku, his attention was all focused on the Korean Peninsula. He judged based on the knowledge of the United States in later generations, when the United States learned that it did not stop the war at the first time, but fought to Seoul. They will react.
Therefore, he should concentrate his efforts on the Korean Peninsula to deal with the possibility of another Eight-Nation Alliance.
The army continued to pour into North Korea, and Junko's speed did not slow down, and before dark, Pyongyang was already within the offensive distance. And Mozhigen was there, when Yu Lei's armored troops had not yet arrived. An attack has already been launched on Wonsan.
Here in Pyongyang, the Japanese army gathered a brigade and two brigades of puppet troops. Buy time for Ren Chuan's evacuation. They urgently built up positions in Pyongyang, lost on the Cheongchon River, and after the enemy crossed the river, they entered a tense defensive state.
Before it got dark, a dark shadow appeared on the snowfield in the distance, and the roar of the engine could be faintly heard.
"First coordinates! Cover Shot!! ”
The moment the target appears. The commander of the Japanese army gave the order for the shelling.
At the moment when his order was given, with a deafening sound, several planes drilled out of the horizon and then quickly rose to the artillery position.
The sudden appearance of the plane surprised the Japanese army. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns lowered their muzzles one after another, trying to intercept.
At the moment when the Japanese were nervously preparing to intercept the helicopter, the muzzle of the gun had already sprayed tongues of fire.
The machine guns roared, and one shell after another hit the anti-aircraft artillery position, followed by a dense rain of bullets. The nose of the attack aircraft was a machine gun, and on both sides were Vulcan cannons, both of which had reached the maximum rate of fire, and the non-stop firing regardless of the barrel immediately disrupted the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery position, and the debris flying everywhere and the blood mist floating everywhere were torn apart by the dense rain of bullets before they could even shoot, and the strength of the air defense was lost.
The attack planes that poured 10,000 bullets flipped and gave way to the artillery position in front of Qian, and in the roar of the Japanese artillery, the car let the rain of bullets pour at the same time, one oil drum after another fell in the air, and before the second round of Japanese artillery fire, the artillery position became a sea of fire in the roar.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers were covered in flames, screaming miserably, and then fell to the ground, pumped into a ball.
Before the first target could be covered, the shelling was interrupted in the middle of the process, and the tanks continued to rush straight towards Pyongyang amid the sound of explosions.
After the helicopter bombed the three artillery positions, they quickly left, and went straight to the front line of the Japanese army, where they carried out the most rear-end suppression and strangulation.
Less than half a minute before they left, the muzzle of the gun had just erupted with tongues of fire, and the Japanese artillery position exploded with a bang, followed by a chain of explosions one after another, and before the sound fell, there was a loud bang, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air.
The flames exploded the shells, causing the artillery positions to detonate, and the violent shock wave tore apart everything around it, leaving the collection to falter even a few kilometers away.
After the Japanese position lost the role of artillery to intercept tanks, it was helpless in the face of the rumbling steel monsters. Their iron fist hit the tank from a few tens of meters away, and the crisp sound of their 75 anti-tank gun's armor-piercing shells hitting the tank was not enough to stop the tank's advance.
The tanks pressed the snow and roared into the Japanese positions, and under the strafing fire of the helicopters overhead, the chain rails twisted back and forth, filling in the trenches, so that the Japanese soldiers who had no time to flee were buried alive inside.
The speed of the advance army's attack was not something that the Japanese could adapt to now, and it could not be stopped, and at the moment when the tanks rushed into the position, armored vehicles and infantry vehicles rushed up with a roar, and then rushed into Pyongyang under tank shelling.
In Pyongyang, the Japanese expatriates and North Korean traitors who had no time to flee for their lives were hiding everywhere, and the sound of armored vehicles shouting in Korean to return home did not give them a sense of security, but only made them more panicked.
Regardless of these Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates, or those Korean traitors, the armored vehicles were all shot and killed if they did not return home on the street, not because they could not understand the Korean language, but because they were educated by the Japanese, and they all knew the way. In the hands of the advance army, it will be a fate, that is, death.
They did not expect that the troops they regarded as gods would not be able to stop the enemy's attack, and they would not even be able to stop it for ten minutes, and the enemy would rush into the city, leaving them with no time to flee for their lives.
The previous retreat order was only for troops and the diaspora. But among the expatriates are some of the best people, and the wealthy chaebols can retreat with the military vehicles, and the ordinary expatriates have this treatment? Besides, aren't there other expatriates here who have just arrived here nearby? They all gathered in Pyongyang, and before they could retreat to Renchuan, the advance army came in.
The chaos was hard to contain amid the gunfire, and North Korean civilians who heard screams and begged for mercy shivered and hid in their homes until the movement outside subsided. Their homes were not disturbed either.
But this situation did not last long, when the sky was just dark, a group of advance soldiers, under the leadership of the Huya soldiers, began to search from house to house, according to the identity certificate of the same identity card as the ID card made by the Japanese army, to check the absconding Japanese nationals, and to arrest those Korean traitors who worked for the Japanese in the homes of wealthy people.
At this time, the Japanese language was already widely spoken in North Korea. There are almost no soldiers who can't speak, and most of the soldiers of the advance army can speak a few words of Japanese. The search was much faster.
Junzi left only two regiments in Pyongyang, and when the investigation began in Mancheng, the army replenished the fuel, and did not even have time to take care of the corpses on the ground, bringing spicy cabbage, kimchi and other things copied from the homes of those wealthy households. Rushed to Seoul overnight.
Junko is going to take Seoul tonight. 260 kilometers, they can arrive in six hours, hard work, the enemy has no time to escape.
Compared to here, the battle of Wonsan is slightly more resistant. Wonsan is a supply depot in Heentnam. It was a warehouse in Hungnam, and although the evacuation of the army took all the supplies with it, there was still a wing of Japanese troops here.
Mozhigen did not carry the Japanese artillery bombardment, they needed to march quickly, and they needed to reach the target as soon as possible, so they still kept lightly armed, but there were nearly 1,000 rounds of bullets that no one carried.
At the same time as Junja's attack, Morigen also launched an attack on Wonsan.
He had no artillery, no tanks, so the attack was met with a lot of resistance in the Japanese artillery bombardment, but the skis in all directions were still unswerving in the fall of their comrades and went straight to the Japanese position, and then, the gun grenade flew out, and the steel balls whined in the explosion, and in a short moment, the fire of the Japanese front line was suppressed, and then the army launched a general attack.
The steel balls flew wildly, and the Japanese troops couldn't even lift their heads in the trenches. The artillery was already useless at this point, and the enemy was fifty meters closer to the position, and it was impossible to open fire at all.
At this time, the advantage of the Japanese army in having artillery was gone, but at first it played a little role in the charge of the advance army, and there were not so many artillery, only a dozen mountain guns, dozens of mortars, for the attack from all over the world, these guns were scarce.
In the explosion of the gun grenade, the soldiers of the Oroqen tribe quickly threw off their skis in the rapid gliding, and rushed forward with speed.
Heavy sniper, banging at this moment, one bullet after another pulled out those firing points at the head of the city, and tore apart the heads of those probes, so that the Japanese troops at the head of the city could not even poke out the muzzle, with the semi-automatic locking of the city head close to the position, the force of the Japanese city head completely lost its effect.
In the pop, one by one's heads were shattered, one by one the bodies were torn apart, and the precise and terrifying sniping completely destroyed the Japanese army's already low fighting spirit, and they all lay behind the bunker, raising their hands through the grenades, trying to stop the enemy's attack.
As soon as a black grenade flew up, it was hit by a fast-eyed semi-automatic touch, changed direction, fell back to the bunker, and exploded in the panicked screams of the Japanese army.
The fifth figure flew into the air with the shock wave of the explosion, and it was estimated that there were not many people alive there. As one grenade after another was knocked back and landed nearby, the roaring explosion enveloped the city, but the grenades were spared.
In less than two minutes, the strangulation of the position ended under the fierce fire of the AK three bursts, even if there were still surviving Japanese troops, it was a matter for the follow-up troops, with the explosion of the grenade, the earthen city wall that was not very strong was blown down, and the simple city wall that the Japanese army had worked hard to build in the summer was blown open a big hole, and then, the soldiers rushed into the city in the shouting of killing.
The number of Japanese troops was already small. Tens of thousands of people attacked the city, and they took care of one at the expense of the other, and when the advance army rushed into the outlying positions, their resistance was ineffective, and as the crowd rushed in, fierce street fighting began.
The Oroqen warriors are all hunters. In contrast to the thick-backed sharp knives, Dong Ku custom-made Nepalese sabers of sufficient length for them to slash and stab them easily.
In the street battles, the Oroqen soldiers who were close to the Japanese army put away their spears and pulled out their shell guns, pulled out their sabers from the side of their backpacks, and bravely entered the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
The sound of fluttering was mixed with screams, arms flew up, and streams of bloody swords shot out. The warriors began the slaughter as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
Although the weapons are short and the wear is thick, the Oroqen warriors have also undergone strict training in white-knuckle warfare in the slag field, and the use of the Sancai Array is also handy, and in the case of short weapons, they do not suffer losses, but are more flexible, so that the Japanese army with spears can be quickly routed. In just a few minutes, the Japanese troops who rushed to the front were slashed and slashed. The damage on his side was not large, there were many injured and few deaths.
The intensity of the battle was just like this, and the full strength of the Japanese army was about the same, and the strength of one of their wings was not enough to plug the teeth. was Yan Mei by Mo Rigen's army.
At this point, as soon as it was dark, the battle was over. And Yu Lei also arrived at this moment.
Yu Lei, who arrived, looked at Yuan Shancheng, who had already controlled the situation, and said depressedly: "I said Brother Mo Rigen." You see, let me cooperate with you, but leave me some gas money! I'm running here, you're done. ”
"Ha Lu Ha!"
Mo Rigen smiled heartily: "Brother Yu Lei, the Japanese army here is not enough to stuff their teeth, the big head is on the way to Chuncheon and Seoul in front, we move quickly, we won't be robbed by all the straights, take a break in twenty minutes, we will set off and rush overnight!" ”
"Yes, let's rest on the road, let me be the vanguard, and let your men be tethered to tanks and infantry vehicles, so that it is colder, but fast, get more quilts to cover."
"Okay, then rest on the road."
Mo Zhigen also tribe, so quickly gave the order.
Before the battle was completely over, the army began to assemble, and collected the luggage of the Japanese army all over the world, bought those quilts and spread them on tanks and armored vehicles, and the Oroqen soldiers tied those backpack straps to the tanks and tied them to their bodies, so that they could sleep on the march with quilts.
Two regiments of supplies were left behind to guard and clean up, and in the sparse sound of gunfire, the newly arrived armored units were mobilized.
Instead of tanks and armored vehicles, Mozhigen's troops were still on skis, following closely behind the tanks and armored vehicles, and swooped down on Chuncheon.
When Dong Ku was in full swing to attack and gather a large army, Britain and the United States also made a decision.
That cripple thinks that with such a rise speed of the advance army, Bi Dingfeng will be a great enemy in the future, and although he has no intention of taking power now, who dares to guarantee that Dong Ku is not a smoke bomb? Isn't the argument of disbanding the advance army and doing business on their own to stabilize them?
Once the advance army masters China, then this terrible enemy will have enough soil to grow, and in the end it will have a navy, after all, there is an existence of weapons companies, as long as there are conditions and resources, it is not very fast to build warships? But looking at their helicopters and tanks, it is enough to show that their technology and technology are ahead of their own country, so it is necessary to curb the growth of the advance army.
As a result, the battleships anchored at Pearl Harbor and the warships anchored in Luzon set sail one after another, joined up with the British Royal First Fleet in Malaysia, and sailed for Korea.
At the same time, he agreed to Madame Chiang's conditions, provided loans and weapons to Lao Chiang, so as to strengthen Lao Chiang's strength and restrict the growth of the advance army.
The purpose of the large army, which had gathered in Korea, was self-evident, and if the advance army ignored their mediation, he would join several countries in waging war against the advance army in Korea.
The reason why he did not choose to attack China itself was simple, he believed that he could support a puppet regime, and the reason for attacking China was not sufficient, and Korea was different, Korea was a Japanese colony, which was recognized by everyone after the First World War, and the advance army was now an invasion, and they had enough reasons to intervene by force.
On the ocean, the USS Lexington, USS Enterprise (CV-6), USS Saratoga, USS Pennsylvania, USS California, USS Maryland, USS Oklama, USS Tennessee and other veteran warships, as well as 20 destroyers, 10 cruisers, and 20 submarines, oil carriers and supply ships, are heading for the Korean Peninsula.
Dong Ku's guess was right, the great powers really wanted to protect their Eight-Nation Alliance partners, and the battlefield, instead of choosing China, but the colonies in Japan, was really a. son, but also to set up the arch of chastity.
At this time, although Dong Ku did not know that the British and the United States had already moved, after the goal he set was completed, he would control most of Korea, and he would have room for maneuver to fight with the armies of various countries. He has already considered it mature, whoever stands in his way to chase and kill the Japanese army is his great enemy, this is an oath made a long time ago, he will not break it, and he will not care who is in the way in front of him! Even if it is Britain and the United States, even if there is another Eight-Nation Alliance, he will kill them without leaving a piece of armor! (To be continued......)
